New Family, New Step-Brother, and Zayn (Zayn Malik Fan Fic)

Chapter 14: No More Monsters!

--Zayn's POV--

"Think, think, think." I muttered to myself pacing through mine and Ally's beach house bedroom at 4:30 in the morning.

"Zayn? What are you doing?" Ally asked. Great. I woke her up.

"Nothing love, go back to sleep." I said softly.

"Come here." She patted the spot right next to her.

I walked to the bed and rested into the covers, her automatically snuggling into me.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"Nothing's the matter, it's just I'm thinking about stuff." I said.

"I kinda got that, what were you thinking about?" She asked.

"Band stuff." I lied. I didn't want to actually tell her what I was thinking about.

"Is it bad?" She asked.

"No, not at all." I replied.

"Then don't worry about it babe." She said as she ran her fingers through my hair.

I loved it when she did that, it calmed me down and she knew it did too. I think the gesture was for her personal enjoyment too, she always says she loves how soft my hair feels between her fingertips.

I always feel safe with Ally, and calm. We can be in the middle of nowhere surrounded by crows, but if she's with me, I can call it home. I feel like I'm stable with her which is something I don't necessarily have when I'm on tour. I don't have a stable place when I'm touring the world, it's from one place to another in a matter of days. New bed, new room, new people to interact with, and new customs. Not with Ally, it's always the same. Warm, safe, and loving no matter what.

Sure, our relationship was rocky in the past, very rocky. Especially during the beginning of her pregnancy, Perrie, and that lowlife Ricky, but we managed to overcome all that.

I never once then and now, can deny my love for her. The love that keeps my heart beating when I'm away from her for more than an hour or two. I feel lost without her, she's a big part of me now and I will do anything to keep it that way. Anything.

"Love, do you remember all those years ago when you were first pregnant?" I asked her.

"That's like asking me if I remember my own birth Zayn." She whispered sleepily.

"Okay." I smiled as she continued to run her fingers through my hair. I slowly felt my eyes flutter closed and fell asleep to her soft and gentle movements.

"Umph!" I groaned when Ryan jumped on the bed, dangerously close to my crotch.

"Ryan, let's try not to do that again, okay pal?" I asked.

"What Daddy? This?" He asked, repeating the motion.

"Uuhh, yeah pal." I said out of breath.

"Okay Daddy." He said.

"Thanks buddy." I replied.

"Ryan honey, it's 5:30 what are you doing up?" Ally asked her eyebrows knitting together.

"Sssh Mommy, sssh." He said cautiously putting his pointer finger to his lips and turning around to face the door.

"What is it Ry?" Ally asked sitting up, at the same time as I did when we saw his gesture.

"The monstews, they hear you." He said wide eyed.

"Ryan, no more monsters, they are gone." Ally said.
