Chapter Text
Sunlight flooded the two bedroom flat that was located in the heart of London. The alarm clock had yet to ring in the master bedroom to wake Liam Payne for work. In the next room over, a small gurgle could be heard as a curly haired toddler stood up against the bars. Atop his head lay two chocolate colored triangular ears, that were the same color of his hair.They twitched in anticipation for the day to begin. "Da!" came a loud cry from the toddler. Liam bolted up from his light sleep as the cry came over the baby monitor. He rubbed the last bit of sleep from his eyes and pushed the duvet back.
"I'm coming Hazzakitty, Daddy's coming." He muttered though the toddler could not hear him from the hallway even though he knew Harry couldn't hear him. Liam had found the small kitty while coming from the pub with a couple of colleagues and his boss. The alley Harry was found in was small and cold, littered with trash and it held nothing to shield the 8 month old from the cold even though he was swaddled with torn blankets. Liam was surprised to say the least to find a small baby in a alley crying out and if he had drank even a little more he probably wouldn't have heard the soft cries of despair. That night he took the baby home and settled him in nice and comfy in his bed. Upon further inspection he found the toddler had a slight case of hypothermia and his chocolate curls seemed to hide two chocolate and white ears. Liam cooed at the adorable sight but quickly got to work on warming the baby. Not only did he have ears but a tail also, and Liam thought it was the most adorable thing ever. Liam spent 3 days nursing the 8 month old back to health before a young girl barely over 17 came to recover the child after alot of prodding and questioning people at the pub from Liam. Gemma Styles came forth and thats when Liam really found out alot, from Gemma's hybrid features to her rape to her getting thrown from her house with Harry in tow that all ended with her giving Harry to Liam to have since she was still a child herself and couldn't handle Harry's needs. Gemma Styles left Liam's home about 2 days after her arrival. About 2 weeks later, Liam found out something really heart breaking about his baby, that Gemma hinted at before her departure. But, that changed nothing and made Liam love the small curly haired child more than ever. 6 months had passed since Harry was found. 6 months that Liam wouldn't trade for anything. "Da!" a light sniffle sounded from the closed door as Liam made his way inside. "Aw, Babe. Daddy's right here.Shh.. Calm down." Liam mumured. A smile lit its way onto the toddlers face as he reached out for his father. Liam smiled and leaned down, scooping the toddler into his arms. Liam pecked the toddlers cheek and walked over to the changing table.
Liam unloosened the nappy and grabbed some wipes followed by new nappy and proceeded to change the baby, murmuring to himself as he finished. He sat the toddler up and kissed at the small human ears with a sigh. Not only did his human ears not work, but his hybrid ones were defective as well, leaving the toddler to be deaf and have to wear hearing aids that he constantly fussed about in the limited amount of sentences he knew. "Let's get your aids in Kitten then we can get you all dressed up for a small breakfast and Nialler's place because daddy has to work." Liam said to which Harry let out a giggle and tugged gently at his moving lips. Liam smiled and chuckled, snagging the aids from the bureau and slipping them in, turning the dial up slowly then testing. "Hazza?" he said waiting for recognition. Upon seeing the toddler unfazed, Liam turned the dial up higher and spoke again. "Hazza babe?" Harry's face fell in shock as it did just about everyday when he suddenly could hear again. His head whipped up to his dad then at his lips. "Can you hear daddy?" Liam asked. Harry let out a squeal and grabbed at his moving lips again. "I'll take that as a yes then" Liam chuckled at his child's antics before setting him down on the soft beige carpeted floor of the nursery where he slept. "Daddy's gonna go get breakfast started and get you all dressed babe." Liam voiced while leaving the room.
Liam Pov:
I walked out of Harry's room and made my way to the kitchen. The clock read 7:15 which means I had about 30 minutes to get dressed and have Harry at Niall, my neighbor's house and about a 20 minute ride to Malik Enterprise Publishing company. I frowned as I looked around for a quick breakfast and settled on sliced strawberries with a piece of toast and eggs for myself and a bottle of milk and sliced fruit for harry to eat while at Niall's. I grabbed the ingredients I needed before making my way to the toaster. Harry toddled into the kitchen with his tail wrapped around his chubby leg "Moo?" He squeaked. I chuckled and nodded making my way over to make his bottle of milk. "Hazza loves his milk. 'gonna be so big and strong Hazzabear." I said handing it to him. He eagerly took the bottle and reached out to be picked up. I shook my head and picked him up and settled him in his highchair. Breakfast came along 5 minutes later and we sat down to eat, with me feeding Hazza small bits of my strawberry. After the small breakfast, I sorted the dishes in the washer and scooped up my Hazza to get him ready. I grabbed a red checkered shirt and a pair of baby tan corduroys. I smiled and packed them into a blue backpack along with a pair of converse. I hummed as I grabbed a extra dummy and more nappies and placed them in the bag along with a few toys.
Soon,the bag was filled up with most of the things needed in a diaper bag. I slipped on Hazza's jammy bottoms and a pair of kitten slippers and set him on the floor to play until it was time to go. I walked out of the room and sat the baby bag on the futon near the door and made my way to my room for a quick shower. I frowned as I grabbed my phone off the charger and noticed that I had two messages from My boss,Zayn and Niall. I opted to open the message from Niall first.
Niall: Li, i can't watch Harreh 2day, Fam mattrs. txt u later mate.
I let out a long sigh and texted him back
Li: 'its fine mate, lil late dontcha thnk. i dont hve anther sitter so ill take him with me iguess thnks though nialler.
I ran my fingers over my face in frustration before opening Zayn's message. He was a weird boss but an effective one.
Zee: Leeyum. No suit day tomorrow! I will srsly fire ur sorry ass if u come in a suit. Byeee.
I chuckled lowly as I texted him back
Leeyum: dont worry, i woulnt dream of that. btw, harry doesnt hve a sitter, ill hve to brng him in w/ me
I locked my phone after sending the message and began laying out something to wear. I grabbed a a burgundy Abercrombie and Fitch button down from the closet and a pair of topman boxers with tan chinos. I laid them on the bed next to my phone and made my way to the bathroom, running the water for a shower. I tested the water and slid in, grabbing the axe body wash and began washing myself up quickly then sliding out of the shower to get dressed. I was going to be late today, I just knew it. Hazza wasn't even dressed. I stepped out of the shower in just a towel and grabbed my toothbrush and began to brush my teeth then rinse before brushing my hair. I had recently cut it short and I rather liked it that way. After taking care of my personal hygiene, I walked into the room and began to get dressed in the outfit I laid out. I struggled with my shirt once the annoying message tone came up on my iphone 5. I sighed and hurriedly slid on a pair of brown loafers before checking the message.
Zee: As long as u bring me breakfst u turd xx
I groaned and sent a quick okay to Zayn and letting him know I would. I frowned and walked back over to the bathroom tidying it up before grabbing my briefcase from the corner of the room and made my way to Hazza's room. I rolled my sleeves up to the elbow and made my way inside " Come on Hazza. time to go" I said. He stood up on wobbly lega nd walked over to me. I picked him up and stalked off to the kitchen grabbing his sliced fruit and another bottle of milk and a can of it for later. "Nee?" He asked curiously with his face scrunched up in confusion. He looked so adorable. I shook my head " No, No Nee today. He has a important thing to do. You're coming with daddy to work." I explained to the 1 year old. He tilted his head and frowned. "W..W-Wok?" He lisped trying to pronounce work. I chuckled and nodded "Yes work. Its what daddy does for a living remember."
All the while explaining to Harry what work was, I packed away his things and grabbed his bag, making my way out the door with our jumpers and cool weather gear on and matching grey beanies on our head. Today was the first time Harry has ever been to my job and I'm scared that someone will find out about his extra assets that Ive tucked away safely and take him from me. I can't image a life with out my Hazza. With our gear on, we made our way to the tube for a ride. Little did I know that today alot of things will be changing in my life.
