Left with the Baby. (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Panic

Marley's P.O.V

"What's it like.. being a parent Harry?" I asked Harry over the table in the cafe.

"Stressful, but I honestly love her, she may not have been planned in my life, but I would never give her up, never."

Harry looked over at Lilly and smiled, you could tell he loved her. Even though they had only just met, they had a father-daughter bond. Something special.

"Can I hold her? Like sit her on my knee for a bit?" I asked shyly.

Harry looked over at Zayn and asked if it was okay with his eyes. Zayn nodded once and then went back to his conversation with Niall and Liam.

"Sure, she's a little hyper though, Niall thought it was a good idea to give her sugar and now she can't sit still!" Harry laughed.

Harry stood up and picked Lilly up from her high chair where she was playing with a doll Louis had brought with him for her. She started to cry, and kick her legs and arms around, but Harry came over to me and sat her on my lap, ruffling her hair as he went back to sit down.

"Hello Lilly!" I bounced her up and down and she instantly stopped crying and started to laugh.

"Looks like Lilly's taken a liking to Marley!" Liam shouted from across the table.

"Mwarly" Lilly said.

All heads snapped in mine and Lilly's direction. Everybody's mouth slightly open.

"Did she just ..talk?" Harry asked.

"Yeah?" I replied, why was everybody so amazed? Surely she'd talked before..

"Mwarly!!" Lilly was tapping me on the shoulder, trying to get my attention.

"That wasn't her first work was it?" I asked, please say no.. please say no!

"Yeah.. that was her first word" Harry mumbled still looking shocked.

I repositioned Lilly so she was sat on my knee facing the table, a colouring set was laid out by Zayn in front of me for Lilly to use.

"Lilly, why don't we colour?" I asked her, Harry and Louis were in a deep discussion while Niall, Zayn and Liam's eyes were on me.

"You're great with kids Marley" Niall blurted out.

I smiled at him and then went back to colouring with Lilly, I really enjoy playing with kids.

Zayn's P.O.V

The look Marley had when she was playing with Lilly was memorising. She looked comfortable, like it was her child she was holding. Not Harry's. They way she looked at Lilly made me wonder if she wanted a child now. She never had any plans to go to University, never liked school. She was happy playing sport for her local teams.

"Having fun with Aunt Marley, Lilly?" I asked, reaching over and colouring in a shape on the page. Lilly's head just bobbed up and down fast, smiling as she did it.

"Aunt Marley?" Marley questioned.

"Yeah, we call people that are close to her Aunt or Uncle it's easier." I explained.

"Aunt Marley" she said. "I like that.. Yeah sounds good." A massive smile formed on her face, it seemed like she wasn't ill, like the cancer was no longer there.

Marley's P.O.V

I was starting to feel dizzy about 5 minutes before I got handed Lilly, but I didn't want to make a fuss. My head was spinning, it was a dull feeling, easily ignored, yet I don't think I should.
