Liam's POV


"I can't believe some of this people are gone," I sigh my eyes getting glassy as I address another card to a family that has lost a family member in the shooting/hostage situation.

"I know right. I feel bad especially for Brad Pitt and Khloe Kardashian's families. They have little kids. I can't imagine how hard it is for their kids,' Harry replies as he bounces Jeremiah on his knee packaging some of the cookies we made into containers to put in boxes to deliver to some of the victims homes. 

Luke sits on the table placing stuffed animals into boxes with the cookies that are already inside. Zayn watches him making sure that he doesn't put too many in them and puts just enough for the victim's kids and lover. 

Louis arranges flowers in vases trimming the flower's stems perfectly and making each bouquet beautiful and unique. 

The list of 12 celebrities that had tragically died in the shooting were:

Brad Pitt

Khloe Kardashian

Ross Linch

Justin Bieber 

Jesy Nelson 

Snoop Dogg

Emma Roberts

Lucy Hale

Jonah Hill

Liam Hemsworth 

Chloe Grace Moretz

Bella Throne

Writing each family's name on each card and thinking how each death has affected their family, friends and fans. Each name brings tears to my eyes especially of those that I had known personally. I think about all the times Jesy and us have hung out or talked. 

I think about Khloe's family and how some of them had helped me give birth that horrible night. I can not imagine how they are all feeling now and I don't even want to think about how her kids are feeling.  

All the news have been filled with the past two weeks is the shooting, the fans reactions, how the families are coping and anything else the media can make into something dramatic. 

"I'll drop the things off. I know where most of them live," Harry says putting the boxes over by the door for him to put in the car to deliver later. He places the flowers nearby them as well in the cardboard tray to carry them out in.

"I'll come with you. Louis and Liam can stay being and clean up, okay?" Zayn asks grabbing his jacket and sliding his shoes on as does Harry. 

"I don't understand why I can't come with," I pout picking up Luke before he can crawl off the table sitting him on my lap. 

"The media are starving to see the Carrier that gave birth and there is other stuff...you're just staying here and that's final," Zayn sighs wanting the conversation over.

"Why else don't you want me to go outside?" I ask curious. I get out of my chair sitting Luke on the floor so I can go over to Zayn. I reach out grabbing his hand wanting him to talk to me.

"Don't worry about it. Just stay here with the babies and Louis. We'll be home soon," Zayn replies bringing me in close kissing my lips.

"Zee, what else is going on?" I ask wrapping my arms around his waist not wanting to let him go until he gives me an actual answer. 

"Liam, let go," he sighs trying to unlatch me from around him. 

"Answer my question," I protest snuggling in closer to him.
