Twenty.

AVA'S POV

"Thanks for coming, Liam." I hugged him and then rushed to grab some clothes that'd help conceal me in the dark. I don't know what I'd do if he's meeting some slut.

"No problem. But may I ask why I'm babysitting last minute at 8:47 at night?"

Liam got to the house a couple minutes before Zayn left to do whatever he had planned. Zayn figured that he was helping me take care of the boys' baths and such. Close enough.

"I just need to see what he's doing." I whispered to him.

I grabbed my phone and coat from my room and slipped on my boots, and when I heard the front door close I went to the window to see which way he was going.

Turns out he's going by foot. Maybe he's afraid he'd leave evidence in the car.

"I don't think you should be doing this..." Liam said uneasily.

"So you don't want me to stop that slut from taking Zayn from me?" I questioned him, raising my eyebrows.

He stayed silent and sighed in defeat.

"Ok, I'll be back." I walked out and quickly caught up to Zayn's long strides.

What is he so eager about? If he's trying to be secretive he's not doing a very good job of concealing it...

LIAM'S POV

After Ava left I went upstairs to check up on my nephews and saw little Carter was watching his mobile turn above him and he lightly wiggled his body.

When I reached down to tickled his belly he looked up at me with his big blue eyes full of curiosity. I rubbed my finger on his cheek and he turned his head and gnawed on my fingertip, coating it in his spit.

"Hey, little buddy, it's Uncle Liam. Why are you awake, huh?" I cooed at him. I pulled out my phone and dialed Zayn.

"Hello?" He asked sounding nervous.

"It's Liam. Is everything okay? You sound panicked."

"Oh I, uh, I'm just nervous about what will happen."

"Me too. She's out looking for you right now. I'm here babysitting for her."

"What?!" Geez, freaked out much?

"Yeah, so I suggest either hurrying up or waiting for another time."

ZAYN'S POV

"Me too. She's out looking for you right now. I'm babysitting for her." Liam informed me. My eyes widened and my pulse sped up.

"What?!" This wasn't supposed to happen. It could ruin everything, and I can't let that happen.

I've spent a lot of time trying to make this work.

"Yeah, so I suggest either hurrying up or wait for another time."

"Ugh, god... Okay, okay. Um, I'll head home now. See if you can get Ava to go home. Thanks for babysitting, Liam." I hung up and grabbed my car keys from my pocket.

A hand stopped me from leaving and I saw my old friend Claire open her other hand.

"You don't want to forget this. It's important to you, right?" She smiled as she handed me the small velvet box I gave her two days ago.

"Everything else is set for you, all you need is to bring her tomorrow and hope she says yes."

I grabbed the box from her hand and my lips curled up in a small smile just thinking about what Ava's reaction would be.

"Thank you so much, Claire." I said to her.

I gave her a hug and then drove home thinking about my beautiful girlfriend and kids, hoping that tomorrow would start a new chapter for us.
