It was early in the morning, about around 10 am, and i had just woken up about an hour ago. Zayn and Niall are the only ones up with me. And also had attempted to help me cook breakfast. That didn't work out too well. Niall kept trying to eat everything he touched, and Zayn was being braty, asking why he couldn't do this or why he couldn't do that. So i sent them out of the kitchen until i called them back in to eat. I am now finished with breakfast and decide that it is time for me to go wake Liam and Harry. It's really weird that Liam's still asleep. He's usually the early one, he even wakes up before me sometimes. It's Zayn and Harry who are the late sleepers. So this is very usual, but some people have their days to where they just want sleep. Just as i was about go put of the kitchen and make my way up stairs, Liam came in, rubbing his eyes. He stopped and looked up at me, smiling. "Hey bud, sleep well?" I asked. Liam nodded and i kissed his forehead. "Sit at the table, while i go wake Harry, k?" I told Liam. Liam's ears perked up and looked up at me again, eyes shining.

"Can Liam get Harry?" He asked an i raised my eyebrow. Why would Liam want to do that? I shook my head, but Liam pouted, poking out his bottom lip. "I don't know Li." I said unsurely. I don't think he would react well to Liam touching him. "Please? Liam is big boy now." Liam pleaded. I thought for minute before nodding down at him.

"Ok, you can do it, but don't upset him. If he doesn't wanna come, leave him, k." I told Liam. Liam nodded cheerfully and spun around, running back up to Harry's room. I called Niall and Zayn back into the kitchen and Niall came almost immediately. He must really be hungry as always. Then Zayn came in, dragging behind his little dark blue blanket. The blanket that he can not sleep without at night. He would throw a fit if you tried to take it from him, and there's no way he's going to sleep at all if he doesn't have it. He climbed into his seat and settled the blanket onto his lap. I smiled and turned around, to continued fixing up their food. After placing a toast on each if their plates, i set it down in front of them. Just as i was about to turn around, Zayn picked up the toast and throw it across the room. "Ew! Zayn hates toast!" He screamed.

"Zayn!" I scolded. Zayn looked at me and crossed his arms. "Why you give Zayn toast?" He asked me. I had totally forgotten that Zayn hates toast. I mean, cant you blame me. I'm taking care if four hybrids, with different personalities and different needs and different likes. Yeah, it slips my mind every once in a while. "Zayn, i'm sorry i gave you toast, i forgot, but that does not mean you throw food around, ok?" I told him sternly. Zayn turned his head away from me and i frowned. I walked over to him and kneeled in front of me. "Zayn, do you hear me? Do not do that anymore ok?" I told him. Zayn nodded and turned back to his food making a 'hmph' sound. I sighed, shaking my head. I went and picked up the toast he had thrown and tossed it into the trash. After that, i heard a slight padding of feet coming from the stairs case. Liam came in holding Harry to his waist.

"Liam get Harry." Liam said happily, grinning wide. "Li, is he still asleep?" I asked.

"No Harry awake." Liam said. I came to him and looked at Harry face and surely, his eyes were open. His lips were pressed in a flat line and he had his hands gripping at Liam's shoulders. Well, that went well. Harry doesn't usually like people (other then me) touching him. So, i guess he's like slowly coming out of that state. I was about to take Harry from Liam but, Liam pulled away. "No, let Harry sit beside Liam." Liam said, and then made his way over to his seat. Setting Harry down as gently as he could. He pushed his chairs in and then got up into his seat. I shrugged and gave them both their food. Liam broke a small piece of his toast off and held it to Harry's mouth. "Here, eat." Liam said. Harry rejected the food at first, but then Liam asked him to please eat it. Harry lowered his head and rested it on the table, opening his mouth a little. Liam fed Harry the toast and Harry chewed it. Liam looked at me and smiled. "Liam feed Harry daddy!" Liam beamed. I grinned and ruffled his hair.

"Good job babe." I said. And Liam continued what he was doing, while also eating some food himself. Until it was all gone. Niall was the first one finished and immediately darted out of the kitchen. Zayn finished up and got up, walking into the lounge. Then i heard him fiddling with the front door. I went over to him and grabbed his hand. "What are you doing Zayn?" I asked him.

"Zayn wants to go outside." Zayn answered. I shook my head and pulled him away from the door. "No Zayn, you have to ask first." I told him. Zayn pouted, but i shook my head. "Can Zayn go outside and play?" Zayn asked, i smiled and kissed his nose, nodding.

"Yeah, but you have to get your shoes on first." I said. Zayn nodded quickly and ran up to his room to get his shoes. Then Niall came running into me. "Niall wants to go too!" I petted his head. "Then go and get your shoes as well." Niall skipped off to his room happily. A few minutes later Zayn came back down, Niall not too far behind him. I smiled and opened the door for them. Before they went out, i stopped them both. "Play nice, ok?" I told them. They both nodded gingerly and i let them out. While they played outside, i kept the door open to keep an eye on them, just in case i needed to go out there. I went back into the kitchen and started cleaning up the dishes, and wipe off the table.

After i was finished cleaning, Liam wanted me to cuddle on the couch and watch movies with him. I agreed to that and he asked if Harry could come. But i didn't think wanted to, so i told him he'll join next time. I asked Liam what movie he wanted to watch and he cheerfully replied with 'Toy Story!'. He just loves that and i should feel dumb for asking him if he wanted to watch it. I just knew he was gonna choose it, so i didn't know why i asked in the first place. I put the movie on and plopped down on the couch. Liam cuddled his little body with mine and i wrapped my arms around him. We lay there comfortably watching the movie and Liam looks amazed by this movie every-time he watches it, likes it's his first. This movie never gets old for him. After a few hours the first toy story movie was over and Liam wanted to watch number two, so i put that in and we continued to cuddle, but not before i went outside to check on Niall and Zayn, who were still playing outside. Seemed like they were having fun, so i left them to it. Then i had came back with Liam to finish off the movie. Right somewhere around the middle of the movie, i felt Liam start to drift off. Soon, he was fast asleep and i cooed, picking him up gently and lying him back down on the sofa, then i grabbed a blanket and draped it over him. That's when i heard crying, Niall's crying to be exact. Then he came running to me, and hugged my waist. I picked him up, bouncing him, trying to calm him down. "What's wrong boo?" I asked. Zayn walked in and Niall pointed at Zayn, hiding his face in my neck.

"Zayn push Niall down. Niall hurt." Niall said. I looked over at Zayn and he looked away from me. That's how i know he did it. I rubbed Niall's back and comforted him. "Zayn, didn't i tell you to play nice?" I asked.

"Zayn was play nice, but Niall make Zayn upset." Zayn said.

"I don't care if you're upset, you do not push or hit anyone, ok?" I scolded him. Zayn nodded and i pointed towards the corner. "Now go stand in the corner." I told him. Zayn nodded and stomped over to the corner, standing there and faced the wall like he was suppose to. I turned back to Niall and ran my hands through his hair. "What hurts Ni babe?"

"Niall's heart hurts." Niall said, putting his hand up to his chest where his heart's suppose to be. "Niall thought Zayn was his friend." Niall said, still crying a bit. I rubbed circles in his back, shushing him.

"It's ok Ni, Zayn is your friend boo." I told him while kissing his tears away. Niall sniffled and his baby blue eyes shined as he looked into my eyes. "Reely?" Nialled asked. I nodded, wiping more tears away with the pad of my thumb. "Mhm. Zayn's just being a bad puppy and had to go to time out. But he'll come around ok Ni-bear." I said. Niall smiled cheekily at me and nodded. "Now c'mon, watcha wanna do?" I asked, as i set Niall down. Niall scrunched his face up as he was thinking. Then his eyes lit up. "Ooh! Daddy, can you give Niall face paint!?" Niall asked eagerly. I chuckled and nodded. I grabbed Niall's hand and pulled him into the art-room. I got out all the washable non-toxic paint and set all the colors out in front of us. Then i got out the different sized paint brushes as well. "So, Ni. What do you want me to paint?"

***

I had ended up painting Niall a tiger. He said he wanted to be a tiger, so i painted his whole face orange and painted white circles on both his cheeks. Then i got the black paint to put three little dots on each check inside the white circle, and painted his whiskers there. And i also painted the tip of his nose black, for the nose. By the time i was finished, it had been about 15 minutes and i decided Zayn could come out of the corner. Then i made him apologize to Niall for pushing him, which he did and Niall of course accepted. They became friends again and ended up playing together again as well. Right now it was at night around 9, and it was time for their bedtime. Liam had woken up earlier after his little nap and it was kind of hard to get him to go back to sleep, cause he was already fully rested and it was almost impossible to get him to go back to sleep. But, eventually he did after a while. Zayn also dozed off too, soundly asleep in his bed, with his special blanket. Then i got Harry in bed, and right now i'm just now finished getting Niall settled down. I kissed him good night and made my way back into my room. I striped out of my clothes and pulled on my pajama pants, leaving my shirt off. I hopped into my soft plush warm comfy bed and pulled the covers over me and turned the lamp off. Just as i started to get settled in, i felt the covers being lifted and someone slip into them. I turned around and flipped the lamp back on. Then smiled when i saw Niall snuggling into me. "Hey kitten, what's wrong?" I asked, petting his hair, while caressing his ears. Niall purred and wrapped his legs around my waist. "Niall sleep in here." Niall said, scooting as close as he could to me. I draped my arm over his waist and pulled him in, embracing him.

"Ok Ni-bear, sleep now." I said. Niall let out a cute little yawn, mumbling something as he did. He rested his head back on my chest, closing his eyes. "Night night daddy." I kissed the top of Niall's head as he drifted off.

"Good night kitten."
