Chapter Twenty-Six

Would it be okay if I took your breath away?

"Da!" Was the first thing Alex and I heard when we walked through the front door of A.J.'s parents house. Eli was sitting on the floor in the front room, playing with some toy blocks as Jemma sat next to him. Alex didn't even hesitate before walking over to Eli, scooping him up off the floor with a bright smile.

"Baby!" Alex said, kissing Eli's cheek as Eli giggled uncontrollably. I smiled softly at the two of them before also kissing Eli's cheek. I had missed my little bear, it was nice to finally have him close again.

"Dammit Zayn, I don't care. Boulder is a f ucking rock!" Harry yells from the other room, walking into the living room with my pa running in behind him. In his hands he held a rock, which I guess was my oh so famous brother Boulder. I never understood my pa and his obsession with the rock children...

"He's your son."

"He's a rock. You've been at this shit for over twenty years Zayn, I am done." Harry says, glaring at Pa when he started to pout.

"Bu-"

"Done. I am done."

"Do you have any idea how much of my time and energy I have put into our family Harry? It took me four f ucking hours to make our children and you can't even sacrifice an hour to make sure our son will become a better rock. I understood at first, I got that you didn't want to become a father to twenty rock children but it still happened. You're the reason why Boulder is the way he is, I hope you're f ucking happy." Pa huffed, looking distraught as he shakes his head.

"Oh for godsake Zayn, they're just ro-

"You're just a rock!" Pa interrupted Harry, throwing his hands up in the air and dropping the rock he'd been holding onto the floor. Pa let out a rather loud shriek before falling down onto the ground, carefully picking up Boulder...

"Daddy's sorry Boulder, I am so sorry..."

"I am so glad we didn't leave him with your parents..." Alex whispered, looking at me with wide eyes as I watched my pa have an emotional breakdown over a rock. It reminded me a little too much of my childhood...

"At least he isn't wearing a gorilla mask..." I whispered back, earning a nod of agreement from Alex as we continued to watch my pa deal with his issues. It was in that moment that Dad walked into the room, the smile on his face fading as he saw Pa kneeling on the ground clutching a rock.

"Oh sweet Jesus... Zayn, I told you to leave the damn rock in the garden." Dad says, shaking his head as he walks towards Pa. Pa wipes at his eyes before turning a glare towards Dad.

"Of course you would, you were always jealous of Harry and our rock children. I bet you're the one who put Boulder in the garden in the first place." Pa says before bursting into another fit of sobs. Everyone in the room refused to say a thing, mainly due to the fact that no one knew what to say. Dad just rolled his eyes before walking over to Alex and I, now ignoring Pa as he makes a dramatic show.

"Well if it isn't my first born who never talks to me, it's a sad day when I have to find out you got engaged through a magazine and not from my own son." Dad says, folding his arms over his chest as he glares at me. I grinned sheepishly, scratching the back of my head as I looked at him. It wasn't that I chose not to tell my parents that Alex and I got engaged... It had just slipped my mind.

"Wait, hold the f uck up. Since when were you two getting married?" Harry says, now standing next to Dad. He was also glaring at me, making me feel extremely nervous. I guess Alex hadn't told his parents either...

"As of like a week ago. I told Mum, I figured he'd tell you." Alex says, not even bothering to look away from Eli as he spoke. Harry didn't seem to acknowledge the fact that Alex had said anything, his glare still directed towards me and I was starting to feel scared for my life.

"Don't act like you care Harry, Boulder has been engaged for nearly two years and you never gave a shit!" Pa wailed and Harry let out an annoyed sigh.

"For the last time Zayn, he's not my child. I won't tell you again." Harry says, refusing to look at Pa who let out a loud gasp.

"He looks just like you!"

"Liam, I'm two seconds away from killing your husband. I don't care if there's witnesses, if he says one more f ucking word about those damn rocks... I'm going to lose it." Harry says, closing his eyes as he takes in a deep breath. I let out a somewhat relieved sigh, mainly due to the fact that he was no longer glaring at me... His attention was more directed towards my over emotional father who was still on the floor.

"You already killed my turtle, I'm not going to let you kill my husband too." Dad says and Harry lets out another loud groan.

"For f uck sake what is with this family and grudges?!"
