Summary
Harry, sensing the seriousness, pushed Louis' feet off of his lap and leaned forward, concern etched clearly on his face. "Liam, what's wrong?"
With one last calming breath, Liam took his hands away and looked to the three boys across from him that he considered brothers. He really wished Zayn were here now as well, but he'd have to tell him later, after Perrie and her cousin were somewhere else. "Apparently, I'm a father."
The boys were silent for a minute, then Louis let out a bark of laughter. "Good one, Li. Nice. April Fool's Day is tomorrow, though. But nice try. Daddy Directioner wouldn't have a kid out of wedlock."
Liam closed his eyes, then focused on Louis' disbelieving--yet still wary--smile. "No, Louis, it's true. Simon called and they ran a DNA test and everything. There's a little boy named Taylor waiting for me to pick him up from the London Orphanage on Wednesday morning."
Again, everyone was silent. Finally, Louis' mouth dropped open, eyes wide as he realized Liam wasn't kidding. "Holy shit." He breathed, hands dropping loosely in his lap. "Liam Payne is a father. Holy shit."
or the one where liam finds out he has a three year old son. chaos ensues.

Summary
"Is Mommy with Lilo's mom?" Taylor asked suddenly, quiet voice breaking the silence. Liam froze, eyes trained on the screen where Lilo was showing Stitch the picture of her parents. His hand didn't move from Taylor's head as he whispered back, "Uh, yeah. Yeah, she is, Tay."
Taylor nodded slowly, asking, "Is she happy?"
Liam felt a thickening in his throat, willing himself not to cry like a baby. "Yeah, I think so."
"Good." Taylor snuggled closer into Liam's side, arms wrapping around his waist. "Mommy was sad all the time, even when she went away. 'M glad she's happy now." He settled in deeper with a sigh, and was asleep within minutes. Liam remained awake the entire rest of the movie, holding the boy as close to his side as possible and sincerely doubting how he had ever considered letting him go.
or the one where Liam's slowly adjusting to life with his new son and things get even crazier

Summary
Liam paced around the waiting room, almost oblivious to the few paparazzi who were outside of the windows at the front of the building. He walked back and forth, grabbing at his hair and the back of his neck and his shoulders and forearms and oh God, what had he done? What did he do? Was Taylor going to be okay?
He sank down into a chair, face in his hands. He never should have taken him home. He was a horrible father. He had caused this. It was his fault. His son was back there, probably choking to death, and it was all his fault.
or the one where liam's still trying to be a dad and it doesn't really go as planned

Summary
Liam paced around the flat, biting his lip. He was going insane. Taylor wouldn't take a bath, Loki was barking his head off because he hadn't been out in hours, and dinner was currently burning on the stove. Looking around, he realized with a sinking feeling that everything was an absolute mess. Without Anna, nothing would work properly.
He sat down, cradling his head in his hands. He had really, really fucked up this time.
or, the final part to Liam becoming a dad and things finally stop being crazy and chaotic.
