3rd person p.o.v
The days tickled by and still there was no response from Zayn.It had only been 3 days since Liams little melt down and now he was back on track. He had his moment of weakness and now it was time for him to be strong for everyone again. He had to be strong for Zayns mother who stopped by everyday during her lunch break and Zayns family who also stopped by on occasion.He had to be strong for himself because his emotions were all over the place and he had no clue what to do with himself.But most of all he had to be strong for Niall and Louis and Harry also. Niall and Louis miss their father and never miss and oppourtunity to tell Liam or their grandmother, or even Zayn himself even though he was "sleeping".He had to make sure to keep himself sane because everyone else was leaning on him. But Liam didnt always want to be strong he needed someone to lean on too.
On the fourth day after Liam had his meltdown he was sitting next to Zayn and holding his hand. Harry was in his crib sleep, snuggled up to one of Nialls bears he was kind enough to let him borrow.After a few minutes of sitting in the quiet Niall and Louis came running in and clambered one by one onto Liams lap. This was a daily thing that they would do , they would explore the hospital and then come back and tell Liam all about their little adventures. Today it was different they started asking questions like "when is daddy waking up", or "is daddy done sleeping".Liam could tell they were done being patient and they just wanted their daddy back. Liam could relate to that feeling. Liam could relate to missing Zayn like crazy and just wanting him back. That was his life everyday, he would wake up and miss Zayn or he would be eating while thinking about Zayn everything was about or for Zayn nowadays. Sometimes he would think that maybe if he hadnt met Zayn he wouldnt be feeling like this. Feeling like he had nothing to live for and like he had his heart yanked from his chest. Maybe just maybe if none of this happened he would be happy. But Liam knew that wasnt possible. He knew that he was meant to have Zayn in his life in some way shape or form.He knew that Zayn completed his life his world now revolved around Zayn.Everything was ZAYN ZAYN ZAYN ZAYN ZAYN ZAYN and more Zayn.
"Li Li, hello, can you hear me ", said Louis as he waved his hand back and fourth in front of Liams face.
Liam came out of trance and answered with a simple;
"Yes Louis i can hear you, what do you need".
Louis fiddled with his hands like he was nervous and then he murmured out a
small;
"Do you love us Li Li, like do you love me Ni and my daddy too?"
Liam was perplexed he could not figure out why Louis would ask him a question like this, so he decided he would tell him the truth.
"Of course I love you and Ni and your daddy Lou, why do you want to know?"
"Well ..........can I call you daddy, because I love you just like i love my daddy and ......I cant really call you that because you cant have the same name but can i call you papa then because i love you and your my best friend and I love Harry too Harry is like Ni my little brother and i dont want you and harry to leave me like my mommy did because i miss her."
When Louis got done with his speech Liam was baffled. He didnt know a three year old could understand soo much. He didnt know what to say or do but that was the sweetest thing he had ever heard in his life. He nodded his head to Louis and mumbled " You can call me whatever you want Lou, but yes you can call me papa, i would love that".
"Mee too mee too, i wan call you papa too", Niall said while bouncing up and down on Liams lap.
Liam smiled and nodded his head. He was on cloud nine right now, he loved theese boys soo much and he felt as if they were his own, heck they practically were.Liam loved theese little boys and the thought of them calling him papa made his heart melt. It just made him feel even closer to Zayn and nothing could top this feeling.....right?
When the two boys skipped out of the room Liam grabbed Zayns hand and squeezed it,
"Did you hear that Zaynie, they want to call me papa".Liam said with tears rolling down his face.
"Of course i did, im right next to you."
The voice was scratchy and dry and the person who said it started coughing afterwards. But, despite that Liam still felt his heart stop at the voice he had missed sooo much.The voice he had to go soo long without, the voice that belonged to his lover, well hope to be lover.Liam quickly sprung into action and ran into the hallways .
"Hes awake, Help, Help."
-----------------------------
Doctors and nurses came rushing into the room, they poked and prodded at Zayn and took tests on him and everything but Zayn didnt care. He didnt care about the needles and the tests because he finally found the strength to open his eyes, he finally found the strength and he found it in Liam. Liam gave him strength that he never thought he could possess and for that Zayn was truly grateful to Liam, honesty he owed Liam everything.Liam came and spent every day with Zayn while Zayn only lay there not moving nor talking. Some people wouldve given up and lost hope but Liam wasnt like that. When everyone else was broken up and sad Liam kept them grounded and kept them sane, Liam was Zayns hero.
Everyone was in a state of shock. The doctors informed them that Zayn may not wake up for months, they surely didnt expect this. Zayns mother burst into tear as did the rest of his family. When Liam told Niall and Louis that their daddy was awake they immediately ran to him and jumped onto the bed ( Niall with a little bit of help from Liam) and embraced him like they would never see him again. And maybe that's what they thought, heck that's what everyone thought. Even though nobody wanted to day it out loud everyone Haag had that feeling that Zayn just may not make it and they were terrified. But now it seems as if all the problems have melted away and the feeling of gloom that floated above Zayns room was now gone. And boy did it feel good.

Liam was exhausted, he was still in the hospital (past visiting hours) long after everyone had left. When the boys found out Zayn was awake they would not leave his side. When Liam had tried to take them home they kicked and thrashed and made sure to get him to stay even if it was just a little longer. They missed their father and they didn't want to leave him in fear that he would go back to "sleep" again for such a long time.
The next time Liam attempted to get the boys to leave with him, Zayns eyes were drooping and he looked desperately in need of a nap. However, when Liam mentioned Zayn needed a nap pure chaos broke out. Niall clung to Zayn and started to ball his eyes out and when Louis saw Niall start crying he punched Liam in his "jewels" and called him a wanker. Liam and Zayn had no clue where Louis learned that word but they were utterly baffled. Then as if they didn't have enough of a problem already, upon hearing Nialls cries Harry woke up and started screaming to the top of his lungs. Everything was a huge mess and all Zayn and Liam wanted to do was sleep. But even though everything wasn't perfect they still couldn't be happier because Zayn was back and they could continue with their lives and being happy finally.
