Lifeless (l.tomlinson.)

Chapter Three.

Leah Renee Miller.

I unbuckle my little bundle of joy and set her on my hip, Harry got out and got the stroller that was in the trunk. I have gotten to know this one since our little coffee day that I caught up with Liam and Louis. I also got to meet this head of curly hair here. Zayn, and Niall the only Irish one of their group. I learned how sucessful and happy the two boys are since we have parted a mer two years ago.

Now they both see eye-to-eye and are like brothers to one another. I sadly have fell for Harry's trap and he is taking me and Darcy out today. He wont tell me where or why, just because he wants to surprise us both.

"Okay we're here." He says pointing at the beautiful beach that was completely empty.

"Uhm.. Harry? It seems there will be a storm no one is here.." I mumble and set Darcy on her feet and she clutches my pant leg still a little shy to Harry.

"No love. I had it reserved. Just for us today." He states. "The lads are coming too. Bringing their girls. Well Niall will bring food." He says laughing a bit and walking on the warm sand. I do to taking a hold of little Darcy's hand and walking her to the middle and setting a towl down putting alll her favorite toys down. I hear a roll of more cars and some screaming and sure enough its the boys. I turn around and laugh at them all goofing off. There are 3 girls with them. A burnette with crazy curls. A burnette with wavey hair. And a bleach blonde with her hair in a messy pony tail. I suddenly feel very insecure and look straight at Harry laughing and playing in the water with Darcy already.

"Leah. This is Danielle." Liam says pointing to the beautiful girl with the crazy curls. I stand up and give her a hug.

"So good to meet you." I say sweetly. She mumbles a you two and I let go. She smiles brightly and lets go putting her towl next to mine. Someone taps my shoulder and there was a tall girl with wavey hair.

"Hello! Im Eleanor!" She chims hugging me with a bone crushing hug I giggle and she lets go.

"Im Leah." I say shyly, she nods and sets her towl on the other side of me. Then the girl with bleach blonde hair walks up and brings me into a light hug.

"Im Perrie its so great to meet you." She whispers in my ear, she is exactly as tall as I am.

"Im Leah. So nice to meet all of you!" I say smiling brightly. They nod and smile, El and Dani put their sun glasses on and started tanning and I looked at Perrie.

"I didnt bring a towl.. Is yours big enough for two?" She asks smiling sweetly. I laugh and nod sitting down with her.

"So how do you know the guys." She asks putting her sun tan lotion on.

"Me, Louis, and Liam grew up together." I mumble looking at me red painted toes then out to the sea where the guys are laughing and plyaing around with little Darcy. Swinging her to and frow and she giggles. A smile tugs on my lips, my little girl kind of has her father in her life? She just doesnt know it yet.

I stand up and stretch and see Darcy giggling and screaming running toward me.

"Mummuhh!" She giggles and runs behind me right as Liam was about to snatch her up and go into the water with her. He looks up at me and smiles sweetly at me.

"We need to talk." He whispers.

"About?" I ask raising my eye brow and crossing my arms.

"About Darcy." He says firmly. Oh shit.

"W-What about h-her." I whisper picking her up and she puts her tiny head on my shoulder.

"Who her father is." He whispers back. I nod and worry swims in my stomach as I tie my honey blonde hair in a messy bun and put my white flip flops on. I fix my bright blue bikini and turn to Liam to slipped his flip flops on.

We both started walking in the direction of the far away Ice Cream parlor Darcy asked me to take her to when we first have arrived.

"So about Darcy.." Liam says looking at me. I look at him worry filled in my eyes. I shift a sleeping Darcy over so that I could hold her with both arms.

"What about her." I murmer looking straight ahead trying not to make any eye contact with him.

"Do you know who the father is" He asks.

"Yes." I whisper listening to my babies sweet yet soft snores.

"Who.." He growls.

"You." I whisper a tear rolling down my cheek.

He stopped dead in his tracks and I turned to him. His face fell and worry was all over it. His breatheing quickend like he had asthma.

"Li.." I whisper touching his arm. His brown eyes flicked up to me and the baby in my arms. And he kept walking again with me right beside him. No talking, just silence. The waves rose and fell. The steady rhythm of our breathing.

"When were you going to tell me." He says once we had ordered. I look at him and then down to our feet.

"I- I dont know.. I was just scared how you would react, that you'd think I was just making it up." I mumble clutching my sleeping baby girl a little more.

"I would have liked to know sooner!" He spat. I look up at him and a single tear slids down my cheek.

"Leah.. I- I'm sorry im just really scared of all this." he says.

"Of what. What are you scared of." I whisper trying to not wake up Darcy.

"Being a horrible father." He says running a hand through his unstyled hair. I felt bad for him. Because right there. Im pretty sure I ruined his career. He's only 19.

"Liam.. Im sorry for even being in your life again. Im sorry we met at the hospital a few weeks back.. Im sorry I even talked to you. I knew things would end up like this.. I just ruined your career." I say as more tears rapidly run down my cheeks at a fast rate. He steps closer and wipes my tears away.

"Dont you go away again.. Me and Louis have missed you.." He murmers. "Im glad I have a daughter.. I just wish I would have known sooner.. I mean.. I just dont want to be a bad one.." He whispers. I nod and wake up Darcy and turn her over so she is sitting on my lap. Her little eyes blinking slowly with sleep.

"Darcy." I whisper.

"Mummuh." She coos laying back on me.

"You see Li." I say she nods and I look at him. He nods and I try to find the right words to explain.

"He's your Daddy."
