Carrier

Open Arms

Liam's POV

Never have I ever thought I would be this nerves to see my family. I stare out the window my hand resting on my four month baby bump. We pass so many trees and have been driving down dirt roads now for over an hour to reach the mansion where our families are staying. All of them ripped away from their homes because of me, because Donum would try to use take them away and use to get to me. 

I keep imagining their furious facial expressions. Nicola not able to meet my eyes. The disappointment in mother's eyes. Trisha ignoring me. The whispers I would hear when they look at me with hate in their.  

"Stop worrying Liam. Everything is going to be okay. Nobody is mad at you. If anything they're all going to be worried about you," Zayn assures me squeezing my hand tightly in his a reassuring smile on his lips.

"I know, I guess it's just guilt. I feel awful that this happened to them all just because they are related to me or just know me. Not to mention how guilty I feel about Ruth. She's been in a coma for eight months and it's all my fault. If..."Zayn cuts me off with a quick kiss shocking me into silence.

"Stop, you're being ridiculous nobody blames you for any of this that has happened, not even with what happened to Ruth. Now relax getting worked up it isn't good for the baby," he kisses my cheek before letting me go his hand still entangled in mine.

I lean against Harry, who is on my other side, snuggling into him.

We go down what seems to be another dirt road it has to go at least a two miles until a large iron gate emerges in front of us. Paddy doesn't turn the car off or make a move to get out and neither does Daniel, who sits in the passenger seat.

After what seems like ages but was probably only a couple of minutes. The gates opens allowing Paddy to pull through. Once inside the gates and going down the long driveway I can make out a large brick building. It appears to be a mansion. There are black SUVs in the driveway and there are the familiar black dressed professional security.

Paddy comes to a stop behind the SUV that is closest to the door of the mansion (Mansion pictured above).  

"Alright you're free to go anywhere you please here, Liam, and you won't need Paddy to follow you around.  I would say to stay with Zayn, Harry or Louis though. Also you can not leave the fenced in area  and stay away from the gate and fence. Also no going up to Ruth's room. You can not heal her unless you have Dr. Ada's permission, which I know you do not have. You should also avoid being in the same room as your father alone. You three I would even go as far as going into the bathroom with him, because that is where his father attacked him the last time. The twins share a room with you and anybody in the house can lead you there. I think that covers it. We will be staying here for two weeks and then we'll leave to continue on with the remaining parts of the tour," Daniel goes over with us again meeting my eyes specifically.

Zayn gets out of the car and I follow taking his offered hand needing something to balance me. My coordination is totally out of whack. I stumble over my feet somehow anyway, but Zayn is there to steady me his hands on my waist keeping me up right.

"One of us is going with you everywhere. You need somebody to protect you from your own clumsiness," Louis laughs making my cheeks flush. I stick my tongue out at him before going over to the backseat door opening it to get to Jeremiah.

Jeremiah is squirming in his car seat screaming loudly wanting out NOW. I lean over unbuckling him from his seat while making soothing noises trying to get him to stop squirming.

"Luke, stop moving. I can't get to you out if you keep kicking me," Harry tells our youngest son tickling him trying to get his attention off the car seat so he can get him out.
