3rd Person P.O.V

Zayn Malik is stubborn. Thats why he's struggling to take care of 2 children by himself and thats why he's alone in life, or at least he thinks thats why. His beloved girlfriend left him 6 months ago and to be honest he doesnt exactly miss her, but he doesnt want to take care of 2 kids by himself.Even though he struggles soo much he still tries to be as happy as he can just for his kids that he loves soo dearly.The thing about Zayn though is that he doesnt have to struggle, his parents will help him with whatever he needs. But, being the pride-filled man he is , he never lets anyone help him even if he needs it. Dont get me wrong Zayns not poor no, far from it but he struggles with juggling his job and taking care of two young children who need him soo much.The thing is that Niall and Louis are just getting over their mother leaving and Zayn is all they really have left. Therefore,they have some abandonment issues and they hate to see their father leave them even though he always promises to come back.

Zayns kids are his world. Theres the oldest, Louis whos three years old with light brown hair and sparkling blue eyes and then theres Niall whos 1 with dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes. The worst thing about his them is the fact that they both take after their mother with their light hair and blue eyes, but of course Zayn would never penalize them fot that.

Zayn wakes up to a small tugging on his blanket thats wrapped tightly around him to ward off the cold that sneaks up at night.He shifts slightly then turns over, opening his eyes to the dull early morning rays.

"Daddy i hungwy ", Niall whines quietly holding his favorite teddy bear in his hands.

Zayn sighs and slowly sits up in bed so he can cater to his childs needs. He gets out of bed and picks up Niall who cuddles into his chest immediately.This is why he loves being a parent children are wonderful and even though he has it hard he wouldnt change his life even if he could.As soon as he gets down the steps he looks to his left at his spacious living room and cringes at the sight before him.

"Louis what did i tell you about ice cream in the morning," Zayn says trying to fight a smile.

Louis is sitting on the hardwood floor with a carton of vanilla ice cream in front of him and a mouth and chin covered in a sticky white substance. ( its ice cream obviously for you dirty-minded people.) In front of him on the television is a re-run of an old cartoon with a bunch of figures running around.Zayn sighs and walks into the kitchen in search of breakfast for Niall. He pulls some oatmeal out of the cupboard and sits Niall in his high chair so he can make his breakfast.When he finishes cooking he puts the oatmeal in the bowl and carried it over to Niall sitting it on his tray attached to his chair.After checking his food to make sure its not too hot and handing Niall a spoon he heads into the living room. 

Louis is laying down on the floor asleep with the spoon on the floor spilling ice cream.Zayn grabs the spoon and cartoon and put then in the kitchen to deal with later.After cleaning up the mess he picks up Louis and heads to the bathroom down the hall. Carefully, he gets the baby wipes and cleans off his sons hands and face. 

2 hours later at 8 he has the boys and himself dressed and ready to leave, the boys on their way to daycare while he works. 

Zayn P.O.V 

After getting the boys dressed i pick up Niall and Louis one in each arm and head out to the car.I sit NIall in his car seat and Louis in his booster seat, what can I say i like to be safe.After i get into the car i put my seatbelt on and turn the car on.

On my way to the daycare i get lost in my own thoughts.Staring out the window i see the beautiful community around me, trees nice houses, everything that made me fall in live with the community in the first place. We wanted our kids to llive in a nice place so we could give them a nice life but hey i guess things change. Maybe she got tired of being a mother and thats why she left, or maybe she got tired of me but hey nobodys perfect right?

I pull up at the daycare and like clockwork Niall starts crying causing Louis to wake up and cry also. Ever since their mom left they've had these abandonment issues and i have to deal with this every morning. As i turn off the car i turn around to the boys and try to be serious.

"Stop crying guys you knowi m not going to leave you...and if you be good today ill get you guys some ice cream."

As soon as the words 'ice cream' leave my mouth their crying stops simultaniously. I bark out a laugh and shake my head at my children. I step out of the car into the cool autumn air and pull my jacket a little tighter around me.Next i open the car door and unbuckle Niall and Louis picking up Niall and holding Louis' hand.

When we walk into the building instead of being greeted by the old bat that usually lurks behing the front desk, im greeted by a warm smile and a pair of brown eyes. The man behind the desk is  gorgeous with sparkling brown eyes resembling something like that  of a puppy and pearly white teeth.

"Goodmorning sir, how are you?" Greets puppy eyes.

All i could do was stand there and stare because an angel just spoke to me.
