Atlas was now one year old & to say he looks like Zayn would be an understatement they are almost identical in some of Zayn's old photos But his personality is 100% Liam's

Liam ended up going back to work once Atlas was a month old he now works in some sort of Zoo with Louis which they both love but Zayn & Harry think it was more so they could hang out than work

Zayn had woken up to a crying Atlas like usual he got up changed his nappy (diaper) & got him dressed in his cute little skinny jeans with a white t-shirt & some tiny black converse & then a denim jacket to top the look off Zayn smiled at his baby because he really was the cutest thing in his world

Then he bought him downstairs he was making Liam breakfast in bed for no particular reason he handed Atlas a bottle of milk that he had every morning while Zayn or Liam was making breakfast for them all

After Zayn was done making breakfast he put it on three plates & then puts them on the tray & lifts it up to take up to Liam but not before grabbing Atlas's hand & helping him walk upstairs

"Tada daddy," Atlas says as he walks up the stairs slightly ahead of Zayn so Zayn could be there in case anything was to happen

"Tada" Liam repeated pulling his son up on to the bed next to him as Zayn placed the tray on his lap & Liam started to feed Atlas little bits of his breakfast

"All done now," Liam said as atlas left his mouth open wanting more food
"All done" Atlas repeats sliding off the bed to run or waddle around the room

"Alpaca, come here," Liam said as he watched his boy almost knock over about 3 of the shelves they had in the bedroom

Atlas ran up to his dad hugging him as tight as he could which wasn't very tight but it was Liam's favourite hug in the world with Zayn's coming in at a close second after there hug Liam got out of bed to get dressed for work Atlas didn't like it when his daddy went to work he wanted to have his daddy and papa with him all the time and he didn't understand why they couldn't

"don't look at me like that At I'll be back before you know it," Liam said as he puts his shoes on looking at Atlas's wobbling bottom lip in his pout
"Dada no go" he shouted and then started crying making Liam laugh a little bit at how cute he was he walked over to him and picked him up

"baby, I have to go but I'll miss you so much," Liam said kissing Atlas's forehead and running his hand through the little brown hair that he had on his head Atlas just turned around and wrapped himself around his daddy "besides you'll have fun with Papa today you might even be able to see Zia if you are good," Liam said peeling the boy off him Atlas just shook his head at the mention Zia he didn't really like he but they still hung out and were pretty good friends

Zayn came into the room lifting Atlas up and placing him on his hip
"dada got to go now baby say goodbye," Zayn says and Atlas makes grabby hands to Liam who takes him off Zayn and Atlas kisses his cheek
"bye-bye," Atlas says with a little then started to twist and squirm out of Liam's grip and run into the living room to go back to his early morning cartoons

"goodbye Lamb," Zayn says kissing Liam's lips softly
"goodbye Zebra," Liam says kissing Zayn again and then shouting out to Atlas saying "bye Alpaca" which he only receives a grunt in return from the boy Liam just laughs as he leaves the house

-------
Liam got home from work and Atlas incidentally jumped on him making Liam almost topple over even if Atlas was only one and still very small Liam wasn't expecting him but hugged him back once he had caught his balance

"miss ou," Atlas said burring his head into Liam's neck who was knowing carrying him to the kitchen where Zayn was cooking dinner for the three of them

"Hey baby," Liam said kissing his husband on the lips only for a second once they pulled apart Atlas made grabby hands for Zayn because he wanted to finish helping him which wasn't really helping it was more making a mess but Zayn loved that he was trying

Zayn took the boy off Liam and put him down on the table and gave him a carrot to play with but he ended up just sucking on it and trying to bite into it but he couldn't with his baby teeth Liam laughed at his son and replaced the carrot with a Triscuit that he gladly took

"tanks," Atlas said as he started to eat and suck on the Triscuit Liam smiles before getting a slap on the chest from Zayn who then told him off for giving Atlas a snack before dinner Liam just laughed and kissed Zayn and then they all went back to making dinner all together and to Zayn this was his idea of perfect just hanging out with he two boys and having fun

Dinner took longer than usual because Liam and Atlas weren't much of help not that Zayn was complaining about them trying to help they were now sitting at the table Liam had Atlas on his knee as Zayn fed him small spoonfuls of rice pretending it was a train or a helicopter making him giggle and move around a little on Liam's lap

after dinner the three of them took bath together because Atlas was a mess from dinner but he really didn't like water a trait that reminded Zayn of himself so it took a while and a lot of work to bath or shower him

then Liam made him a bottle so he falls asleep as Zayn changed him into his PJs which Liam had bought him one day then Liam came into Atlas's room to give him his bottle and tuck him once Atlas was down Liam and Zayn stood against the doorway just looking at their gorgeous baby boy

"We got lucky didn't we" Liam whispered into Zayn ear as he stroked his shoulder
"Real lucky" Zayn said as they walked out of Atlas's room closing the door behind them as quickly as possible
