“Oi, oi! What are you running outside for like that? Leaving the door open like you were raised in a damn barn?” 

The voice made all of their heads turn, realizing that the star of their show was here. Liam and Niall had babies hanging off of them, Zayn was introducing himself to Charlotte, and the eldest twins were talking to Kalen in exaggerated tone about their favorite of his videos from his stint on Ellen. So, Harry was the one seemingly chosen to do the intro. He skipped on over in an attempt to keep the energy up. “Louis, hello hello! We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re ready to save the day!” A twirl, sashay and jump, and he was standing right before Louis, an expectant smile on his face.

Louis was speechless, Harry realized quickly. His jaw dropped, glancing between all his siblings and the boys. He seemed to realize all at once that they were all in on this; that the entire production crew was here for him.

“Holy fucking shit.” He gasped, and Harry watched as his eyes scanned everything. “How - you’re not in the TV.” Louis said, a bit lamely.

“Oh, no we’re not, hunny!” Kalen cheered. “Your gorg sister nominated your style and your community center to be made over. And for someone as fucking sweet as you? It was a no-brainer!”

Charlotte looked at Louis, beaming. “Surprise?” She said, laughing as she was met by a huge hug from him. “Okay, you can be sappy later. We’ve gotta let the boys inside now, though!” She laughed as she pulled away from him. 

“Thank god!” Niall groaned, carrying the baby twins on either of his hips, trudging back towards the door.

“I know,” Zayn grumbled. “My hair is seriously frizzing in this damn humidity.”
