Chapter Text
When they first found out that they were going to be expecting a newborn baby in nine months, it was the day Liam had won a case for $450,000. It was that same day that Liam was walking out of the courthouse when his phone rang and Zayn was on the line crying because he was in the emergency room.
That day was hectic, Liam's heart beating out of his chest as he thought about possibly losing the love of his life. He has never jumped down a flight of stairs so quickly and gotten into his car. He has never sped down the road so fast in his life before.
"A baby. A little angel made from you and I." Liam had smiled at the news, kissing the back of Zayn's hand repeatedly and then leaning over to kiss his wet lips.
"Our baby." Zayn cried, cupping Liam's face and pulling him in closer for a better and more passionate kiss than the last one.
That day was exactly two weeks ago, on the seventh of September. The doctor had informed them that Zayn was only thirty days pregnant. It was a pretty decent time to find out that the lad was expecting. But Zayn doesn't think Liam can get anymore excited than he is right now. Ever since that day, Liam has not been able to keep his hands off of Zayn's stomach. Not even during sex.
"Babe, stop." Zayn smiles fondly, giggling when his boyfriend blows a raspberry onto his navel.
"I'm sorry. S'just..." Liam laughs, undoing his tie and then leaning down to kiss Zayn's stomach again before pulling the lad's shirt back down. "I really love knowing that you're carrying our child." Liam sighs, sitting down at the edge of the bed before lying down and placing his hand on his boyfriend's still flat stomach.
"I do too. And thank you. Thank you for being here and loving me and...just thank you. I know you're probably scared about this whole thing even though you show me that you're excited. But I'm grateful that you're my rock and I know you'll always be here for me." Zayn places his left hand on his lover's face, stroking his cheekbone softly with his thumb.
"There's no need to thank me, sweetheart." Liam captures Zayn's lips in his, pulling the latter close to his warm body. "Now, would you like to get on top of daddy and show him just how grateful you are?" Liam smirks after pulling away from the heated snog, gazing down at Zayn with lustful eyes.
"I think I do." Zayn smirks back, climbing on top of Liam after pushing him onto his back. "But first we're going to talk about when the hell you're going to propose." Zayn straddles his boyfriend's hips, slapping his chest gently. Liam sighs, running a hand through his hair.
"I want to get married, Li. With you. I want us to be married and I wanna have my big dream wedding." Zayn pouts, hands making gestures and flying around as he speaks.
Liam didn't want to talk about the marriage topic. No, he didn't hate talking about it or hate the idea of it...he just simply didn't want to occupy his brain with that subject right now.
"And one day we will be married and you'll have your big dream wedding, babe. I just don't want to talk about this right now, okay? We have plenty of time to talk and plan this out." Liam rubs soft circles on Zayn's hipbones.
"No we don't, time is running out." Zayn's bottom lip juts out and he crosses his arms over his chest with his eyebrows creased. Liam smiles fondly, internally thanking the angels above for sending someone so beautiful and amazing into his life. Someone he's been madly in love with since sophomore year of highschool when he was fifteen and now he's twenty five. A whole decade, he's been infatuated with the heartbreaker named Zayn Malik and he doesn't want to love anyone else but the dark haired lad.
"Yes we do because we're going to be together forever. For a whole eternity if we ever live that long. We could be eighty years old in wheelchairs with pacemakers in our hearts, I'd still propose to you and ask you to be mine forever."
And even though he really wanted to get engaged to the love of his life and see that shiny ring on his left hand, Zayn still blushed and leaned down to peck Liam's lips softly.
And fuck it, maybe they didn't have to rush and get married so early. Maybe they can still remain how they are, committed in a relationship with one another with their baby on the way, living in a three story mansion. Maybe it's okay that Liam's a successful lawyer and Zayn is the stay at home boyfriend.
It was all okay and rushing to have a title on their relationship suddenly didn't matter to Zayn. Because as always...each and everyday, Liam always reminded him that they were always going to be together, for infinity.
