"Rose? Come on baby open up the door." I knocked on the door softly. It was now 1 am and Rose hadn't come out of the room once.

I stayed silent and gently pushed my ear against the door to listen for any sound. All I heard was a choked back sob and some shuffling. I slid down the door and put my head in my hands.

"Look. I doubt you're going to actually listen. But I'm going to be honest. I have no clue what I did wrong. Absolutely no fucking clue. But Rose, dammit. I love you. And I am going to say that with all of my heart, I am so sorry about anything that I could've done or will do in the future. And I promise you that I will always be so sorry no matter what I've done, little or big." I spoke. I heard shuffling towards the door and her grunts as she tried to sit down.

"Zayn. You told me that I couldn't see my own father. I honestly think it's my decision. I don't want to feel like I'm only a twelve year old little girl to you. That's not what I want to be in this relationship."

"Rose you know that's not what I think of you as." I leaned more towards the door. "Come on baby just open the damn door!"

"Zayn that's exactly what you treated me as. You treated me exactly as a 12 year old girl. That made me feel like such shit." 

My heart broke. Why did I mess up like this?

"Rose, I don't want you or our baby getting hurt. That is the only reason I'm saying no. I am so worried about him hurting you." I stood up to turn the knob of the door. "Please let me in." My voice cracked. 

I put my ear to the door and listened to hear her standing up. The click of the lock sounded and I quickly turned the knob, opening the door gently so I didn't hit her. I engulfed her in a hug immediately. 

"I'll tell him I can't see him until the baby is born. Is that okay?" She sniffed into my shoulder. 

"I want to be there." 

"He won't approve of us not being married and having a baby already." She pulled away and sat on the bed. 

"Then let's get married." 

"What?" 

"Yeah." I got more confident. "Let's do it. Rose, marry me. You're carrying my child, you're the love of my life, why not?" I got down on one knee. "Rose, will you marry me?" 

She looked away, tears falling down her pink tinted cheeks. I gently guided her chin so she would look at me and kissed away the tears. 

"Zayn?" I hummed my response, looking into her eyes. "Let's get married."

I held her close to me as she tried to move. She chuckled as I just held on to her tighter. 

"Oh my god, Zayn." She laughed. I finally released her and she sat up, grabbing a tissue. "I got a call from the doctor this afternoon." 

I immediately sat up. What was wrong? Is Rose sick? 

"What was it about?" I swallowed down my thoughts and tried to be calm on the outside. 

"It's a girl." She whispered, barely audible. My eyes widened. 

"You're serious?" I looked at her. 

She nodded and rubbed her stomach. My little princess was in that tiny bump. I immediately kissed her lovingly and went down to kiss her stomach. 

"You're my little princess. Daddy's little girl." I whispered. 

"Zayn talking to it's not going to do anything." She laughed. 

"It might!" 

"Let's name her Delilah." She quickly blurted out. I smiled at her while she looked away blushing. 

"Delilah? It suits her." I leant back down to her stomach. 

"Really? Great! Baby Delilah. I like that." She smiled. 

I softly hummed Hey There Delilah until I heard Rose's breathing slow down. She was asleep. 

"Goodnight beautiful." I kissed her forehead before falling asleep myself.
