Away

8

Zayn dropped everything he was holding and he ran, he didn't care that his laptop was in his bag, he didn't care that his passport was on the floor and it could get taken by anyone and he didn't care that he could've broken his phone

Zayn ran until they were within reach before he hugged Liam, Liam hugged him back and took a deep breath

Zayn then pulled away and picked Aileena up, she kicked her leg in excitement and laughed out loud

He laughed and kissed her cheek "She didn't forget me..."

Liam smiled "I don't think that's possible, love"

Zayn shook his head and pulled Liam closer, he laughed and tried to pull away

"Your things, Zee. I need to go get them"

Zayn shook his head, then kissed Liam's temple "Later" he said before he kissed him

Liam smiled and kissed Zayn back, with one of his hands on Zayn's face before they pulled away

"A bit late but-" he smiled and kissed Liam's lips again, getting a quiet laugh from him

"Hi Jaan"

"And then, and then and then-" She jumped up and screamed "The monster came out from under the bed!!"

Zayn nodded, finishing the breakfast "What did you do then?"

She smiled "I took out my sword and-" she stood up "KILLED THE MONSTER!!"

Zayn laughed and nodded "Good job Leena"

She sat down again "Thank you, baba"

Zayn wiped his hands "Can you go check in on dad?"

She nodded and jumped off the counter and ran, Zayn finished the breakfast before she came in with a pout

Zayn looked at her and raised both of his eyebrows "What's wrong?"

She walked towards him "Dad has his bad headaches…"

Zayn frowned then picked her up and sat her down before putting a plate in front of her

She smiled and thanked him and he kissed her head before he walked towards the room

He knocked on the door then opened "Anything I can do?"

Liam just waved him off and crawled into himself "I just need to relax for today..." He mumbled

Zayn walked towards him and sat on the floor "Do you have your migraine medication?"

Liam shook his head and mumbled a quiet no, Zayn massaged Liam's temple and Liam sighed

"I'll keep Leena busy today... I'll try to find things that can help"

Liam smiled "Thank you"

Zayn smiled "It's the least I can do"

~~~~~

Zayn kept Leena out until 3pm, when she insisted on going back to the cabin and helping Liam

So they went back, Zayn told her that they need to be quiet because Liam may be sleeping and she listened

She was holding his hand as they walked in and towards the bedroom

Liam opened his eyes and smiled before he sat up, she whispered a quiet 'Hi dad' as she got on the bed

Liam hugged her and kissed her head

"Did you enjoy your day, love?"

She nodded "Baba has things for you"

Liam looked at Zayn "Medicine?"

Zayn shrugged "Food too, you can't take any pain medication without eating first..."

Liam smiled "Look at you"

Zayn smiled at him "Look at me"

~~~~~

They stayed in bed for the rest of the day, they ordered food in and Aileena cuddled up with Liam while Zayn cleaned everything up

When nighttime came, and she was getting ready for bed; she ran to Liam and kissed his head before wishing him a goodnight

Zayn tucked her in before he walked back to their room, he heard the showering going and sat on the bed

The door opened and he looked up and smiled at Liam

"Feeling better?"

Liam wiped his face before he nodded, he got back on the bed and sighed

"Sorry if I ruined the mood today"

Zayn shook his head "It's no big deal, I understand"

Liam looked at him "And, Leena?"

Zayn shrugged then gave Liam a bag of sugar free gummy bears, he smiled and took it

"She understood as much as a child can at her age... But she was mostly worried about you"

Liam laughed and nodded "I'll be better tomorrow... I'll do whatever she wants with her and you can have your day off"

Zayn stood up and walked into the bathroom but turned to Liam before he closed the door

"If I could, I wouldn't have a minute away from her"

Liam smiled "I know... You love her, a lot"

Zayn smiled "Glad I proved that to you"

"You've proved it since she was born"

~~~~~

After his shower, Zayn got into the bed and they slept back to back

Zayn stayed quiet then took a deep breath "Liam?"

"Hmm?"

He chuckled then they both turned around

Liam was sleeping with his hands under his pillow and laying on his stomach while Zayn laid on his back and looked at the ceiling

Liam looked at him "Do you miss her?"

Zayn looked at him and frowned "Who?"

"Ceclie… Do you miss her?"

Zayn stayed quiet then shrugged "I honestly haven't thought about her till now"

Liam smiled "You've been together for almost 2 years, how have you not thought about her?"

Zayn shrugged "I had all my focus on my daughter" He looked at Liam and raised both of his eyebrows

"Ya know, the daughter we share together"

Liam laughed and nodded "Yeah yeah I know..."

Zayn smiled "Glad to hear you laugh, babes"

Liam smiled "I wonder who's the reason"

Zayn looked at him then opened his arms, Liam seemed to hesitate but got closer and laid his head on Zayn's arm

Zayn turned to lay on his side and he massaged Liam's temple, His other hand rubbed Liam's back and Liam smiled

"You never changed" Liam whispered

Zayn smiled as Liam's eyes closed

"I don't plan on ever changing..."
