Baby Blues (Zayn Malik Fanfiction-One Direction)

Chapter 51

Baby Blues_Chapter 51

Two months of intensive radiation treatment and the tumor was only reduced by 2%.  

Emma didn’t know how much more of it she could take.

She was weakened.  

Mentally, emotionally and physically.  

She had her treatments three times a week.  The stress was beginning to take a toll.

Her hair began to fall out.  

She was mortified and didn’t want anyone to see her.  

One day Eleanor picked her up and they raided Louis’s closet for beanies.  

Her whole world was becoming unglued.

Zayn was being an angel through the whole thing.  

Helping her walk when she was too weak.  

Kissed her when she would panic when another clump of hair would fall out.  

Hold her head when she was puking her guts out in the toilet from the radiation and the medication she was on.

There were the good days though.  The days when they would take the twins for walks.  Just the four of them.  

The twins were getting so big.  Smiling and laughing.

There were the good nights also when she and Zayn would make out like horny teenagers.  

It was the only thing they could do because of the radiation treatments.  If they made love, Zayn could be exposed to the radiation.  So they worked their way around it.

But there were also many nights when Emma would cry herself to sleep.  Knowing that soon the time would come for her to make a decision.

“Can you drive me to London today?” she asked Zayn one morning as they were having breakfast.

“Sure, um, what are you going to do in the city?” he asked.  

Emma looked up from Simon who was having his morning bottle.

“Meeting a friend for lunch and shopping.”

“You feel up to that today?” he asked.  He knew how weak she had been lately.  How tired she was.

“Yeah.  Besides, I need to get out.”

“Okay, I’ll get Beth to watch the twins while we drive there.”

“Okay.  Thank you.”  She went back to feeding Simon.  She smiled at her son.  

He was getting so big.  His hair was growing so fast and his eyes were the exact same shade as Zayn’s.  She bent down and kissed the top of his head.

“You’re a great mum, you know that?” Zayn said.  

Emma looked back up at him and smiled.

“So, who are you meeting for lunch?” he asked.

“Elise.”

“Elise? As in former Harry Styles girlfriend?” he raised his eyebrow in surprise.

“Yes.  She and I were friends.  I missed her so I called her.”

“Oh, um, okay.  Does she know?”

“Yes, he knows.” She reached over with Simon and handed him to Zaynk.  “Here, burp your son.  You’re daughter is hungry too.”

Zayn gladly held his son over his shoulder and gently patted his back.  He watched as Emma took Harriet out of the bassinet and began to feed her.

“Can you drop me off at Harry’s when we get there?” she asked.

“Yeah.  Why?”

“I just wanted to talk to him.  See if he wanted to come with me for lunch.”  She said, not looking up.

“Emma.” Zayn said sternly.

“What?” she asked.  Trying to act innocent.

“I know that look and that tone.  What are you going to do?”

“Me? Do something?”

Zayn laughed.  “Yes you.”

“Harry needs someone. He’s so lonely.  I’m just trying to help.”

“By having him go to lunch with two of his ex-girlfriends?”

“So?”

“You’re terrible.” Zayn said, leaning in to kiss her.

“Yeah, but you love me.”  She said, letting his kiss take over her.

“Damn right I do.”
