Estrella frowned "Where did baba go?"
Yaser tucked a hair behind her ear "Louis needed some help, your baba is going to help him"
Estrella pouted but nodded, after a minute of sitting quietly Yaser stood up
"Wanna go somewhere?"
She scrunched her nose "Where?"
He smiled "Your baba told me how much you like the moon and stars"
Estrella perked up "We will go sit outside?"
Yaser chuckled as he picked her up "Somewhere better"

Darcy was hiding behind Zayn, as soon as he walked inside she ran up behind him
Louis and Harry would be hurt, but they knew that Mrs. Trevor's wouldn't take a step closer towards him
He is her boss in some sort of way, he won't exactly fire her for having to do her job but that doesn't mean he'll be a walk across the park for her
"Repeat that" He said, leaning against the wall with Darcy's arms tightly around his leg
Ms. Clayton sighed, joining her hands on the table "I was in a coma a few months after giving birth to Darcy, my partner of the time was taken to jail and my sister was given custody of Darcy." Zayn nodded "I woke up 6 months ago, found my sister but she told me she said Darcy was giving her trouble so she gave her away" She sighed "I lost my daughter that way…. I travelled here as soon as I learnt"
Zayn slowly nodded "How old were you when you had Darcy?" He said rubbing Darcy's cheek
"I was 20"
"How old was she when we went into your coma?"
"10 months old- give or take"
"When was her father taken to jail?"
"When she was 4 months old"
"How old was your sister?"
"She was 26"
Zayn blinked "Do you have insurance?"
She furrowed her brows "I beg your pardon?"
Zayn looked at Ms. Trevor's "Mind taking Darcy to the backyard?"
She hesitated but nodded, Darcy looked at Louis and Harry, they nodded, she stepped away from Zayn and went out to the backyard with Clifford and Ms. Trevor's
Zayn turned to Ms. Clayton again "Do you. Have. Insurance?"
She opened and closed her mouth and his eyebrow shot up "Because even with your fake accent I can tell you're American, and what I know about the American medical system, if no insurance, you're basically fucked-" He shrugged "Even with insurance sometimes" He rubbed his jaw "So that means in 6 months, you needed to pay your hospital bills, get a last minute plane ticket- In the midst of winter- Definitely not cheap, God knows tourism is annoying this time of year"
Harry and Louis blinked silently hearing Zayn go on
"So now I need to know…. Medlina" The lady froze "Why would you lie about being in a coma? Why would it take you 6 months when 2 years ago we sent an alert to America ABOUT Darcy, yet nothing came back." Zayn furrowed his brows "And you'd think Child protective services might check up on your sister about your daughter if they're paying her to take care of Darcy"
