Leaving You

Leah's P.O.V

"Thank goodness you grabbed the stroller ! We would be lost without it." I talked relieved. Niall placed Sasha inside. I have to admit my daughter looked like a pink marshmallow. She would be warm though. I placed a thick blanket over the stroller covering her. The paparazzi would try to take pictures of her and it was early February.

"Ready ?" He asked bundled up in a blue jacket. A contagious smile spread to me.

"Let's go !" I said clapping my mittened hands. Niall took charge of the stroller pushing it forward. We left the flat and as soon as we stepped outside we got chills. It was definitely below freezing out in London.

"Damn I'm freezing me balls off !" He exclaimed doing a weird dance. I gave a little laugh and he smiled at me. I instantly warmed up on the inside at his expression. We wheeled along a quiet baby thankfully. We prepared two hot bottles if she got hungry. Not necessarily my idea.

Our shoes were covered in snow after just a few minutes. Good thing I doubled up on socks and everything else.

"Right here." We stopped in front of a building with people inside. A heavy built man held open the door for us with a smile. Niall thanked him and we enter. Instant heat peeled away and coldness.

"Ahhhhh !" I exclaimed taking off my jacket. My companion followed my action.

"I'll go get us some hot chocolates." Niall parked Sasha at an empty booth where I sat down. I nodded as he walked to the small line. The blanket covering her was lifted peek a boo style. Her chubby cheeks lifted up in a gummy smile.

"Hi baby ! Come here." I cooed picking her up. She rested in my arms starring at my face. I peeled off her puffy coat to show off the little jumper on her. Long pants covered her little thighs warmly. I pulled her hat lower down on her head to cover her ears. My eyes looked over at Niall who was staring back. I waved her little hand at him and he waved back. A broad smile came on everyone's face. An elderly woman whispered to him and he nodded. She waved and we waved back.

Our drinks were handed to Niall and he brought them over to us.

"Here ya are." He smiled sitting down across from me. My fingers wrapped around the plastic cup in one hand while holding my daughter in the other. The hot cocoa warmed my entire body with one sip. A rush ran through me and sparked instant happiness.

"This was a great idea. Nice to get out of the house." I said after a long sip.

"Yeah Sasha seems to be enjoying herself." We both looked at the girl on my lap. She was smiling and looking around the cafe. Niall reached across the table and tickled her belly. She smiled and he laughed. It was the greatest thing in the world to see him with my daughter. My bladder started screaming.

"I've gotta use the ladies room. Could you take her ?" I asked him whilst getting up from our booth.

"Yeah we'll be right here." He grabbed her from me and started baby talk immediately. It was shocking how much of a softie he was. I gave them one more glance before I entered the bathroom. Quickly I did my business and exited. When I walked out I saw a very attractive blonde talking to Niall. She was playing with my daughter. I wanted to claw out her eyes right there and pull out her perfect hair. That's when something caught my eye. Right next to me was a mini newsstand with fresh magazines.

'Zayn Malik of One Direction out partying at strip club in downtown London with his mates. Sources say that he "was getting over a broken heart" and was getting multiple lap dances. Back home he is engaged to waitress Leah Sanchez and they had daughter Sasha last month. Does this mean he's back on the market ?'

A picture of Zayn staring at a censored stripper was on the cover. I opened it to find a whole spread on our relationship. It contained pictures of us from when we first started dating and current ones. Photos that were on our Twitters were on the pages. Niall and Sasha had there own little section with a caption.

'Uncle Niall and niece Sasha photographed together. A source close says "Leah and Niall spent time together during his stay at the hospital last July. They are really close" '

I read it before continuing down the spread. Articles read about my pregnancy, everyone finding out that Zayn cheated on me, and a bio on me. It was weird to see tons of pictures of me and facts that weren't actually true. I had to put it down when they brought up recent events.

"Leah are you okay ?" My vision looked up to see a worried Niall. A tear fell from my eye. I couldn't believe I was crying in such a public place. Without words I showed him the magazine. He shifted Sasha in his arms as he read. I watched his face drop.

"I'm gonna kick his arse. Lea I'm so sorry lets get home." His left hand held the baby and his right wrapped around me pulling me in. I felt eyes on us as another tear fell. I haven't even spoken to Zayn and he hurt me. We bundled back up and left. Niall's blonde was nowhere to be seen thank goodness. "Come on babe. Keep your head down." When I looked up I noticed people had cameras. Just because of who I was engaged to I was constantly watched.

Once we exited the cafe things were okay. We weren't bring filmed or captured on a camera anymore. That doesn't mean Niall let go of me. His hand held my waist close to his hip. My head rested on his chest crying. I felt bad to do this in public, but I just found out something really bad.

"Shhhhh it's okay just keep your head down." I nodded in his chest as I heard the presence of many people. In the moment my arms snaked around his waist and his head kind of was in my hair. All I heard was cameras snapping our every move. Niall remain quiet as he multitasked holding me and pushing Sasha. People were shouting commands at us, but we ignored them. "Almost there babe."

"Is Sasha okay ? Are they hurting her ?" I asked worried.

"Yeah she's fine. The cover's over the stroller." He explained. Before I knew it we were back into his flat building. That doesn't mean we let go of each other. All the way to his door we stayed in the same position. Once inside he let go if the stroller and hugged me.

"I'm so sorry. That blonde told me that they're was cameras outside and I was coming to get you." He explained but I didn't care. I didn't even care what the press and fans were going to say. I broke away from Niall's hold.

"I love you."
