Last minute preparations

LIAM:
"Mum said we should pack the hospital bag early. You never know when you'll need it and then we don't have to worry about it," Liam explained, sitting next to you on the bed, "and with December only a few days away, we have to get ready for Christmas and little one's arrival." "I can't believe our baby will be here in three weeks," you said, leaning your head on his shoulder. Liam kissed your forehead, hand rubbing your back lightly. "Shall we pack this bag then? Or I'll pack, you can watch and tell me what to pack," he chuckled, standing up and walking into the wardrobe. You ran your hand over your now big round stomach and smiled. Moments later, Liam returned with an overnight bag in his hand and placed it open on the bed. "Ok, so what do we need?" he begun talking to himself. "My warm pyjamas with the little cupcakes on them," you said, earning a nod from him, "and an outfit for me to wear when we come home, maybe my jacket cause it's snowing." You watched as Liam picked up the items and put them in the bag, before going to the bathroom. "And can't forgot toiletries, can we?" He joked, giving you the small bag. "What about for the baby?" You asked, organising the bag. "Shall we go to the nursery?" He asked, offering you his hand. You giggled and took it, standing up slowly and waddling to the nursery. You picked up a soft white blanket off the shelf and hugged it close to your chest. "I like the onesie with the matching hat," you told Liam, as he looked through the draw. "I can't believe these will fit our baby," he smiled, handing one a onesie, "it's so small."

LOUIS:
"Diapers, bottles, baby monitor," you listed, looking in the shopping trolley. "Lou, what else do-," you stopped when he wasn't standing by the trolley. You begun to panic as you looked around the store for him, sighing when he walked towards you. "Look at these little onesies, I know we have lots for him, but-," he said, showing you. The first one had, 'if you think i'm cute, you should see my dad' and the second, 'I <3 my mummy' written on them. You giggled and nodded, "I love them, especially the second one." Louis put them into the trolley and kissed your cheek, "well they are both true." He wrapped his arm around your waist, the other pushing the shopping trolley through the store. "We should get another dummy or two, incase we lose the ones we have," you said to Louis. "And knowing us, we are bound to lose them," he joked picking up a packet of two blue dummies. "I feel like we're forgetting something. Like there's something we should have but we don't. I don't know," he said, biting his lip. You sighed and grabbed his hand in your smaller one. "Lou, we have everything we need," you soothed, "and if by chance we have forgotten something, we can get it when we think of it or get someone to get it for us." He nodded and kissed your forehead. "Yeah, that's true, at least with have the important things," he said, wrapping his arms around you, hands not touching at your back. You giggled at far apart you were, "I can't till he's here," you said, looking from Louis down to your baby bump pressing against him, "I just want to hold him in my arms."

NIALL:
"Thank you Niall! I love the nursery, it's perfect," you said looking around the room. Niall smiled and continued putting baby clothes away in the wardrobe. "Have to get everything ready for the twins arrival. Only have two weeks and they'll be sleeping in here," he said. You rearranged the stuffed toys in the cribs and turned on one of the musical mobiles. Niall quickly looked at you, as you looked around the room. As you walked up to the book shelf, you saw the toys and books that filled it up. Your eyes stopped on some items you hadn't seen before. "Where did these come from?" You asked, looking at Niall. He smiled and walked towards you from the other side of the nursery. He placed his hand on your lower back and kissed your temple. "The little toy camera I brought when I was in Ireland last month. I thought one of the twins would enjoy taking photos, like I did when I was touring with the boys," he said, "and I couldn't resist this since Cora is our little princess." He picked up the little crown, running his thumb over the detail. "I can't wait to see her wear it. I bet she will love it and won't want to take it off," you giggled, snuggling into Niall's body. He put the crown back and ran his hand over your big round stomach. You smiled as the twins tried to move under his touch, but the space in your stomach was limited so they couldn't. "And Greg gave me this," he let you go and picked up a mini guitar off the floor beside the shelf. Niall played a few cords, making you giggle. He looked at you and smirked, "Never to early to learn how to play guitar."

HARRY:
"Did you read the instructions Haz?" You asked, following him out to the garage, with the paper in your hand. "I don't need instructions baby. How hard can fitting a baby car seat into the car be?" He said, kissing your cheek. He walked towards the black range rover and opened the back door. You lent back against the wall and ran your hands over your big baby bump, resting them at the bottom. You heard Harry groan, making you quickly look up at the car. He was half in the car, his legs sticking out the door, as he tried to put the car seat in the right way. You giggled and rubbed your stomach lightly. "I told daddy to read the instructions first," you whispered. "I can hear you love," Harry called out from the car, "and I know what I'm doing." You giggled again and went to go back inside when you heard him groan again. "For someone so little, why is it so big? Or hard to put in?" He said to himself. "Do you need help Haz?" You asked walking towards the car to see what he was doing, "I can call Liam." He quickly shook his head, wiggling the car seat around once more. He sighed and slowly slid out of the car. "There you go sweetheart. I told you I could do it," he said cheekily. You raised your eye brow and looked in the car. You wiggled the car seat to see if it was placed in correctly, smiling in surprise when it was. "Yes you did," you said wrapping your arms around his waist, careful of your stomach. "Now you have to put one in my car," you giggled and kissed his jaw. "Argh, I forgot we wanted one in each car," he wined, "after I have a break, I deserve one after that."

ZAYN:
"Hospital bag packed, what else is on the list?" Zayn asked as he zipped up the bag and placed it by the bedroom door. You looked down at your notebook, eyes scanning the page. With your due date approaching, you thought it would be a good idea to write a list of things that had to be done before the baby came. "Baby proofing the house," you said, after crossing hospital bag off the list. Zayn nodded and ran a hand through his hair. "We brought everything we needed the other day, yeah? Just got to put it all in place," he said, walking out of the bedroom. You slowly stood up and followed him. "Do you need any help? I know where some of it goes, I remember baby proofing the house with my dad with mum was pregnant with my sister," you said. Zayn picked up the plastic bag and started taking out different things needed to make the house safer. "You know I can't say no to you, but you should be resting darling," he kissed your forehead. "I know, but I feel that's all I've been doing lately. Please I want to help you, even just a little bit," you pleated, pouting a little. He chuckled, "ok, only a little." You looked at the items that covered the table. "These go on the cupboards, so the little one can't open and then shut them on their fingers," Zayn explained, pointing to a small packet, "and these go in the power points, so little Malik can't stick their fingers in it and get shocked." You nodded and picked up the plastic plugs. "If you want to do the power points, I will go upstairs and put these locks on the windows," he suggested. "Sounds like a plan," you smiled. "Soon this house will be extra safe for our baby," he kissed you sweetly, before running up the stairs.
