This whole morning is a rush, Zayn and I decided for both our families to meet for Christmas. I met Zayn's sisters last week and I quickly warmed up to them. They all said 'I was prettier than his exes'. Which sent me into a fit of giggles, rather than worrying about who his exes were.

Lills is staying over at Zayn's sisters house, she seems to be getting on with his six year old sister, Safaa.

I knocked on the door rapidly, jheeeeez Zayn is taking forever and it's freezing cold out here. Suddenly the door opens to reveal A sleepy Zayn. My eyes widened 'babbeeee, everyone's gonna be here in like' I stopped to check the time, 'shit in a hour, I still have to put cook the vegetables' I pushed Zayn, back into the house although I could hear him mumbling how sleepy he was.

I started cutting the vegetables and cooking the mains at the same time, smiling to myself. I was doing this for both of us - We hadn't celebrated Christmas as a family. Zayn mentioned, his dad was a Muslim, so he never allowed for any Christmas traditions but although his mother was a Muslim, her family had not converted. So she still used to partake. Zayn was not allowed to go, he used to stay behind with his father and sisters. He would try and make it up to his sisters by, putting on some low music and them dancing by the fire which would put a smile on their faces. How adorable is that, Zayn always puts his family first and I like that ..

I feel an arm, wrapping from behind me kissing my cheek softly. 'What you thinking baby?'

I smiled smugly, 'how you are going to help me chop the vegetables up' I laughed, earning a smack from behind.

I was sitting on the love seat, practically on Zayn's lap. His head was in the crook my neck and his fingers interwined with my own. What a bliss this is, Safaa was playing with Lilly and Waliyah on the floor, and Doniya was sitting with Mum and Dad talking about her new job, which she is a make up artist of any occasions.

I looked at the time, it's time to open our gifts. I bit my lip from smiling too much. 'Hey babe, am just gonna get the gifts' I turned my head to look at Zayn,

'Let me come with!'

'Andddd lastly Doniya this is for you from both Rose and I' Doniya took the red wrapped gift from Zayn. She bit her lip in frustration, Zayns wrapping skills were too technical. As the wrapper fell on to the floor. 'OMG this is the new MAC brushes' she squealed giving Zayn and I both a hug. 'You guys are the best' we waved it off saying it was nothing. 'But how did you know I wanted these'

'Have you seen the state of your makeup brushes Don! You needed to clean them, so we thought we'd get you a fresh pair' Zayn said throwing his hands in his hair. With me laughing at the side.

'No babe, I remembered from our sleepover the other day you told me' I said winking at her. Suddenly from the corner of my eye, I see Zayn sitting up and making me stand.

'I wanted my first Christmas to be special with you! I remember the first day you met me. You weren't the scared ones, you welcomed me into your heart and soothed my heart. Some circumstances didn't allow us to be together' he said laughing a little 'but we made it in the end.

I didn't know what to get you, then I realised I was ready for a life time with you. I want to be the one to see you wake up and go back to sleep, I want the memories of us etched in our lives, so we can tell our kids someday our story' I was tearing up a little. And could hear a few awws. 'I want to be there to hold your hands, your soft ones. You are made for me baby and I know it.' He took a box out of his pocket, my eyes widened and got down on one knee. 'So Rosalie West would you do me the honours of becoming my Mrs Malik?!' I couldn't talk I was speechless, tears were rolling down my cheeks, my heart was beating wildly I could only nod frantically. Then I let out a 'YES YES'

Zayn slipped the ring on to my finger and kissed me softly on the lips. Everyone cheered wildly and hugged us both. I wiped my tears from my eyes 'Zayn, for days on end' I took his hands in mine still standing. 'I had no idea what to get you, I was so stuck, but then just last week I found something, that will become precious to us both in the next few months' he looked at me utterly confused. I took his hands and placed them on my belly. 'Babe, you are going to be a father and am pregnant' I said through tears. Zayn looked shocked, and a smile grew slowly.

'Baby, shit am going to be a father! Am going to be a father.. There's oh my! This is the best Christmas ever.' He spinned me around we both were laughing in tears.

'God, I love you so much baby girl and I am going to love our child just as equally' he kissed me softly on the lips. He bent down placing a kiss, on my belly - 'hey little one, I am your daddy. God you don't know how happy I am today. Am gonna love your mummy and you equally as much!' He stood up and said the the three words

'I love you Rosie'

'And I love you even more Zayn'
