Mistakes

How did that happen?

Vanessa's POV

I woke up to the smell of pancakes. Then I realized I had to send Emily to school.

I got up from bed and yelled in a hurry, "Emily wake up. You have....." I trailed off as I saw that Emily was fully dressed for school and eating breakfast at the dining table.

"Don't worry mommy. Uncle Zee got me ready." She said as she took a bite from her pancake.

"Uncle Zee?" I asked.

"Uncle Zayn. She gave me a nickname and I like it." Zayn said as he came out of the kitchen with an apron on his body.

I burst out laughing. "Why..the...heck...are you wearing.....an apron?"

"I just wanted to wear it. Nothing's wrong with that."

"It's just that I haven't seen you wear it before." I said as my laughter came to an end.

"Whatever." He said as he went back to the kitchen.

"So you're making breakfast today? What happened?" I asked as he flipped a pancake over.

"As you may be knowing, I am awesome at cooking-" He started but I cut him off.

"Do you remember the time when you put the steel spoon in the microwave?" I said narrowing my eyes.

"But that was one time." He complained, holding up his index finger.

"I can name many more disasters you-" I started but he cut me off.

"Okay fine. I might have sucked at cooking in the past but now I'm better. I can make a couple of dishes properly." He said, certainly a bit annoyed.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"I'll go check who it is." I said as I went to the door.

It was Alex at the door. I tried to slam the door shut, but he wouldn't let me.
It reminded me of the time when we used to chase each other and I would try to shut myself in a room but he would hold back the door.

"What do you want?" I asked, not looking him in the eye.

"Nessa, You have to hear me out. And-"

I cut him off. "First of all, do not call me Nessa. That name is only for the people who care about me-"

"I do care about you." He said, having a hurt look on his face.

"Second of all" I said, ignoring Alex "I don't think I have to hear you out after what you did."

"You have to." He said.

"Why?" I said.

"Because you have to." He said as Zayn came behind me.

"What are you doing here?" He asked Alex.

"I need to talk to my sister." Alex said.

"It's alright Zayn. Can he come inside?" I asked.

"Yeah." He said, even though he didn't want it.

"Uncle Alex!" Emily said in excitement as she hugged Alex.

"Hey Em. How are-" He started.

"Em did you get your bag packed up?" I asked.

"Yes."

"Then you could go help Uncle Zayn in the kitchen." I said although I knew that she couldn't do anything much in the kitchen.

"So what do you want to say?" I said as we both sat down on the couch.

"First of all, if you think I'm in love with Perrie or something, I'm not. I'm just gonna make this fast, because Perrie went out with her friends and she'll be home any minute." He said. "She told me not to tell anyone about this but she's pregnant."

"She can't be pregnant with your baby." I said. "It could be Zayn's."

"No it's not Zayn's. It's mine. We've done the DNA tests and all." He said, sighing.

"But how could she get pregnant with your kid. You guys didn't have sex for the past 2 years or something. I'm sure she paid the doctor to give you the wrong results." I said.

"Actually we did have sex recently and-" He started but I cut him off.

"Wait, wait, wait why did you guys have sex." I asked.

"See, we didn't have sex intentionally. The other day I went out drinking and Perrie happened to be in the same bar and we were really drunk. And I think you know what happened from there." He said sighing.

"So now why is she staying with you. Don't tell me you fell for her or something." I said.

"No, no, no. There's nothing like that." He said quickly.

"Then what?"

"She's pregnant with my baby." He said.

"Just ask her to abort the baby or something." I said, standing up.

"You know I'm against abortion. C'mon, how would you feel if I asked you to abort your baby." He said. "She told me that I have to date her. Or else she'll abort the baby. She just wants attention."

Then his phone rang. He spoke for a while.

"Gotta go now Vanessa. And I'm really sorry for what happened last night. I just thought you would hurt the baby. Hope you forgive me."

I hugged him as he was about to leave.

"It's okay, Alex. I forgive you and sorry for the drama I created last night."

He gave a small smile as he went out the door.

"Vanessa!" Zayn called from the kitchen. "You get ready to drop Em at school. I'm coming with you."

I went to the kitchen and said, "Zayn, it's okay I can drop her off."

"I'm coming along with you."

"You don't have to." I said.

"I don't have to but I want to."
