Heya guys here's the next chapter of the story, Really hope you like it, Leave me your feedback.

Zayn's Pov:

I love being a father, I love having a child. Since my dad left I got so used to taking care of my sisters that it made me excited to become a father, Of course I wasn't planing on being the one who was pregnant but I wouldn't change my boy for the world. For those of you that have children you will know exactly how I feel, You want nothing more then to protect and see your child happy, Whenever the baby looks at you it's like your heart stops if only for an instant. You love your child with everything you have, I don't know how a parent could ever leave there child behind, I'd never be able to do that, Not to my boy.

Obviously because I had a c-section I can't do as much for the baby as I would like. I can make his bottles and hold him while sitting down but I can't run up and down the stairs whenever he needs me. Three weeks have passed since I gave birth, I've had my stitches out but I'm still healing, Niall's been around any minute he can helping me with the baby, I smiled as I looked down at my boy who was happily drinking his milk, I heard the frontdoor open and close before footsteps sounded in my ears, Seconds later I saw Saff standing by the door.

"Hello babygirl, You want to meet your nephew?" I asked, Saff nodded her head eagerly before making her way over to me, She then looked down at him with a smile on her face. 

"He's cute" Saff exclaimed, She then sat down on the couch beside me, I smiled signaling for her to sit up straight. 

"You wanna hold him?" I questioned, Saff nodded. "Hold out your arms for me, Good now curve one slowly" I slowly placed him in her arms. "Support his head, There you go babygirl" I exclaimed, Saff grinned happily.

"He looks like you" She said.

"Is that good or bad?" I teased as I gently played with her hair, Saff shrugged her shoulders causing me to fake gasp, I then laughed before placing my arm around her as she cuddled closely to me.

"What's his name?" Saff asked.

"Jake Horan Malik"

A few hours later I had put Jake down for his nap and Saff and I were sat on the couch, She had her head gently resting on my arm as I showed her the pictures my mum took at the hospital, Saff then began telling me about the stuff she would teach Jake, She was going to show him how to catch a ball and finger paint, I smiled lovingly at her as the doorbell rang, Seconds later Niall walked into the room.

"Who's he?" Saff asked.

"That's Niall, He's Jake's other daddy and well, My boyfriend" I said, Saff nodded her head before standing up, She then made her way over to Niall.

"You hurt my brother I'll deck you" She warned before grinning and skipping away, My eyes widened before I bursted out laughing. 

"I think shes' spending to much time with Danny" I exclaimed as I held onto my ribs.

"I don't know who I'm more scared of, Him or her" Niall stated as he shook his head, I continued to laugh as Niall moved towards me.

"She's a sweetheart really" I said as Niall sat down, He raised his eyebrow at me before shaking his head.

"Is Jake sleeping?" Niall questioned, I nodded my head before laying my head on Niall's shoulder.

"Has been for an hour, Did you hand some of my work in?" I asked as I looked up at Niall, He nodded his head. 

"Yeah there doing you another pack, Zi I was wondering, Can we take Jake to mine once your fully healed, I just want him to meet my family" Niall asked, The night Niall and I agreed to be together he decided to tell his family about us and of course Jake, His family were shocked but they couldn't change what had happened, It took Niall's dad a long time to come around to the idea but his mum was brilliant about it she was so happy to finally have a grandchild. 

"Jake would love that" I stated, Niall smiled as he gently kissed my forehead. 

"You know they'll spoil him right?" Niall joked, I laughed softly before nodding my head, Just then Jake began crying from upstairs, Niall quickly shot up before making his way upstairs, I followed slowly after him, The moment I walked into the room I saw Jake laid down on his changing table and Niall was talking to him. "You changed my life you know that? I wanna be a better person for you and Zi, I want you growing up knowing you can rely on me, I'm not a perfect person and I know that but I love you and your daddy very much, I don't want you growing up making the same mistakes I did, I'd hate for you to be the person I was, I just hope one day I can be the perfect person for you both" Niall exclaimed, I heard a soft giggle leave Jake's lips as Niall gently tickled him, A smile spread across my face as I walked into the room, I then placed my hands on Niall's shoulders. 

"Your on your way to being that perfect person" I whispered, Niall gently grabbed my hands before placing a gentle kiss to my lips.

"Come to school when your fully healed, Bring Jake" Niall stated, I looked up before giving him a confused look. "It's about time people know who Jake's dad is" Niall said, My eyes widened.

"A-Are you sure?" I questioned, Niall smiled before nodding his head. 

"I made you a promise Zayn I'm not breaking it" Niall informed me.

"Are you sure this is what you want? Because there's no going back now" I exclaimed, Niall nodded his head.

"I wouldn't go back, You and Jake are the best thing to ever happen to me, You gave me a son Zayn, A reason to be a better person, I know this isin't a fairy tale or some love story that was planned out to perfection, But it's perfect to me, I love you both and I want everyone to know it, I spent to long being a coward, You and our son are all that matters to me" Niall stated, I smiled before nodding my head. I then placed a gentle kiss to Niall's lips before laying my head on his shoulder.

"You hear that babyboy? Your daddy loves us, Do we love daddy?" I asked as I grinned at Jake, He giggled before moving his arms around, We both then watched Jake move his whole body around, I couldn't help the smile that kept spreading across my lips, Maybe things really could work out for us, Niall was right when he said this wasn't a fairtytale, But I've got a son and a boy who cares about me, Why would I need a fairytale when I have this?
