Today they were going to tell Liam's family Zayn was currently around 2 months pregnant and they were both very excited to tell their families they decided to tell Liams first because they hadn't seen them in the long while

they decided to go with a box of doughnuts with Liam's messy handwriting saying "Eat up, I don't want to be the only one with a belly" an idea Zayn found on Pinterest and loved it

they knocked on Liam's family door and little Ashton (Ruth's child) opens the door as Ruth walks down the hallway surprised to see Liam and Zayn at the door

"Omg Zayn I haven't seen you in ages you are glowing," Ruth says as the rest of Liam's family come to the door after hearing Zayn's name
"thanks" Zayn smiles as he hugs Ruth before moving on to Nicole and then Liam's parents

"hey, what I am I chopped liver?" Liam says acting fake hurt as he family pretty much ignored him although Liam had to admit that his husband was way better then he was
"Come here son," Karen said as he pulled Liam in for a hug after what felt like an eternity she lets go and walk into the kitchen and Zayn puts the doughnuts down on the counter

"I hope you don't mind I brought a little snack," Zayn says trying to get the Payne's to open the box
"We brought a snack" Liam corrects and Zayn just rolls his eyes and everyone else looks confused as to why it would be such a big deal to Liam that Zayn said I and not we but Karen opens the box and the gasps so everyone else rushes to her side to see what was happening except for Liam and Zayn who waited leaning on the counter

"wait you guys are" Karen started
"having a baby?" Nicole ends looking for confirmation from the boy's
"yeah I'm only two months right now but yeah" Zayn smiles only for both him and Liam to receive a slight slap on the back of the head from Ruth
"ow, what was that for?" Liam says rubbing where his sister had just hit him
"for not telling us for two whole months," Ruth said looking at her little brother with an are you serious look
"well you are lucky we are telling you now," Liam says and Karen lightly slaps ruth for 'ruining the moment' before going to hug the expecting pair

"I am so happy for you two, you are going to make the best parents," she says to the boy's
after a long while of congrats and how are you feeling and other pregnancy questions over a small lunch Liam and Zayn had to say goodbye to the Payne's to head over to the malik's they had decided to tell everyone in the same day and they both were going to sleep well tonight they thought as Liam pulled up in front of the Malik's house

they had decided on a different way to reveal it each time so this time they decided on a mug that said Liam and Zayn more like Daddy and Pappy they took the mug in bubble wrap so they couldn't see it until they opened it for the grand reveal

they knock on the door which is quickly answered by Donyia who knew they were coming over because they had to ask for all of his family to be there unlike the Payne's who all expect Liam live together

"Hey guys," she says pulling them both into a hug before moving out of the doorway to let them in the house

"We bought you guys a gift" Zayn said setting the mug still covered up on the table as Safaa Waliyha and Zayn's parents come into the room with them and doniya

"Oh, Zaynie can I please open it" Saffaa said as she grabbed the gift from the table
"I guess so" Zayn said and Safaa didn't need to be told twice she was already ripping it open he pulled the mug out of the wrapping with the words facing away from her and everyone that saw it gasped but Safaa just looked confused at everyone's surprised faces

"what,what is it" she said pulling on Liams jeans Zayn bent down to match her height
"I'm having a baby" Zayn says softly and Safaa squels and then jumps to hug her brother
"We are having a baby" Liam corrects Zayn once again making everyone else laugh

"I can't believe this is so amazing" trisha says giving both the boys a hug and a kiss
"Yeah, wow" Doniya said also pulling her brother and his husband in for a hug

after what felt like forever off questions that they didn't have the answer for and a lot of advice that neither of them wanted or probably ever needed they finally left the maliks house and were on there way to their last stop Harry and Louis's house

for this reveal they decided on giving Eddie an 'I'm going to be a cousin' t-shirt because they thought that it would be cute

they arrived at their and knocked on the door which was answered by Louis

"Hey guys, we were just about to put Eddie to bed didn't expect you too come over" Louis said and Liam checked his watch for one of the first times today noticing it was almost 6 o'clock

"Ah yeah sorry 'bout that" Liam said rubbing the back of his neck
"We have something to tell you guys though, so can we please come in?" Zayn said
"Of course" Louis said

the three of them walked into the living room to see a very pregnant harry cuddling with a very tired Eddie on the couch while watching TV

"ah hey guys" Harry says not bothering to sit up properly
"they have something important to tell us" Louis says as he sits down and pulls Eddie into his lap much to Harry disagreement

"um, here this is for Eddie" is all Liam says giving eddie and Eddie rips open the paper and sees the words on it but obvisly can't read them so he asks his daddy too

"I'm going to be a cousin" Louis reads with a confused look on his face
"I think you mean big brother" Harry says grabbing the t-shirt from Eddie to look at it properly

"Nope, well that too but he is also going to be a cousin in 7 months" Liam says linking his arms with Zayns and that's when it seems to click for Louis and Harry

"omg you guys are having a baby?" Harry asks with a hopeful grin and Zayn just nods
"this is fucking insane" Louis says only to receive a slap up the back of the head from harry for swearing in front of his son Liam and Zayn just laugh as they receive hugs and congrats from there best friends before going home

"do you feel pregnant now?" Liam asks as they pull up in front of there house
"yeah" Zayn says softly kissing Liam with only a little bit of tongue
