Crossing Paths *ON HOLD*

Chapter 37: Confessing and Remembering

LIAM POV

--------------------

I hold my fiance' and my daughter in my arms. I shut my eyes and listen to the quiet snores coming from both of the girls. I get up from the bed quickly kissing Talia's head. Brittney cuddles closer to Talia as if she never wants to let go. I step on something as I get off of the bed. I look down and see a little paper under my foot. I bend down and pick it up. I skim over it with a shocked intention. I put it back where I found it and walk out of the room. The sun starts to peek through my windows and curtains. "Must be early." I say to myself. I walk into the kitchen as I see Harry looking at Brittney's pregnancy test from last year. "I killed another living soul." He cries. "Mate, it's okay." I answer. "Aren't you mad?" He shivers. "No, it's in the past." I say. "I hope that her line of miscarriages end." He sobs. "I wish that too Harry. All my dreams have come true. I have a feeling that this wish will never happen." I mutter. "Please don't say that. Maybe in a few years you're gonna 'ave a beautiful baby." Harry smiles sadly. "I read the note." Harry says. "I did too." I confirm. "The girl I love is hurting so bad. Brittney really did keep us together." Harry cries. "Little did I I know that Brittney and Talia were blessings in disguise.

"Daddy, mommy needs w-" Talia stops in the middle of her sentence and runs behind me. "B-bad man." Talia cries. I pick her up and she nestles her head into my shoulder. "He's not bad anymore. He was in timeout for a while so he's nice now." I assure. "You sure?" Talia asks. "Positive." I grin. "Mommy needs water." Talia says quickly. "Let's make her breakfast instead." I laugh. "Otay!" Talia gives a toothy smile. Harry takes out some pans and pancake mix. "Pancakes?" He asks. "Those are her favorite. Most with chocolate chips and strawberries." I grin. "Let's make it!" Talia giggles. I mix the pancake batter and add chocolate chips. Talia pours the pancakes on the pan. "Daddy look at that one! It looks like mickey mouse!" Talia points. I look over at it and smile. "It does sweety." I laugh. Harry cuts the strawberries and grabs Brittney's favorite mug. After the pancakes are done I put the pancakes on a tray with orange juice and bacon on the side. "Brittney's gonna love this." I grin. I grab the mug of milk and put it on the tray. "I wanna carry it!" Talia smiles. "Let daddy carry you while you carry it!" I laugh.

I pick Talia up and Harry gives her the tray. "Let's go!" Talia giggles. Harry, Talia, and I walk up the stairs and slowly open Brittney's door. She lays on her side with her back facing us. "Shit!" I hear her whisper. I look over her shoulder and see that she's playing crossy roads. "Morning love." I whisper. She jumps in suprise as my voice reaches her ears. "Oh hey Liam, hey Tali, hey.... Harry?" Brittney greets. Harry nods. "We made you breakfast mommy!" Talia points out. "Oh you guys didn't have to." Brittney stammers. "We wanted to babe." I grin. She pecks my lips and coughs. "Are you okay?" I ask, "Y-yeah just a dry throat." Brittney says roughly. "Here, eat, you need it." I say. Brittney grabs the tray. "You guys made my favorite pancakes." Brittney smiles. "Well, we wanted to make your second say home special." Harry half-smiles.

"Oh, well that's sweet. Thank you." Brittney smiles. She sips her orange juice quickly and takes a bite of bacon. "This is wonderful you guys." Brittney smiles. The doorbell rings as Brittney cuts her pancakes. "I'll get it." I answer. I jog down the steps and open the front door. Everyone has arrived. Aaron, Abby, Nash, Tina, Ivana, Tracy, Jack J, Jack G, Shawn, Sarah, Cameron, Taylor, Carter, Matt, Zayn, Niall, Louis, Jc, and Kian. The bunch of people walk into the house with nervous expressions. "Is Brittney okay? Is she still sick?" Aaron asks. "She's fine. She is gaining her memory quickly." I answer. "Liam! Liam! Brittney is not okay! Her head, something's wrong with it!" Harry yell frantically. "She's not okay!" Kian says angrily. "That's the we she gains her memory idiots." Mallory scoffs. Everyone sighs. "C'mon everyone can go see her." I say. "But she won't remember half of us." Jc says. "She surely remembers everyone." I spit.
