Chapter One- Autumn Jamie Payne

Chapter One- Autumn Jamie Payne

“Autumn!” I called teasingly, pretending I didn’t see her under the covers. “Where did my little girl go, hmm?”

“Right here Daddy!” She shouted, throwing the covers off of her. I grinned, picking her up and twirling her around. She giggled when I sat her down, running over to her bookshelf and holding out a book, The Lion King. “Let me read to you Daddy!”

She settled herself in my lap and more or less read the book, sometimes reading the words and sometimes just explaining what was happening in the pictures.

 

“Are we ever going to meet Papa?” Autumn asked innocently. She knew who her father was. I wasn’t going to go that far as to let Autumn grow up without knowing who both her parents were.

“I don’t know sweetie, why?” I replied, fixing her shirt before taking her in my arms, going to answer the door. It was probably Harry.

Back before Autumn, Liam had taken me to meet his band mates, Harry, Niall and Louis. Harry and I really clicked, less so than Liam and I but we’d become great friends, and after I disappeared, Harry found me and was preparing to grill me on why I left when Autumn came crawling from the living room, calling for me. So, Harry was the only one that knew what happened. I made him promise not to tell Liam, even if he spent two good hours trying to convince me that Liam wasn’t going to reject me.

Opening the door, I was greeted with a glowering look from a certain curly-haired lad.

Harry was here.

And behind him, was Niall.

Harry had already taken Autumn back into her room, shushing her happy squeals of ‘Uncle Harry!’ while I was left to distract Niall.

“ZAYN!” I was suddenly tackled into a hug, barely managing to keep myself and Niall upright, taking a deep breath when he let go. “Where have you been? Liam’s been a wreck and Louis is torn between snapping your neck and hugging the life out of you!” Niall exclaimed in one breath, accent only thickening as he continued to talk.

“Daddy!” I turned to see Autumn running down the hall, away from Harry. I picked her up when she was close enough and she giggled at Harry, clapping her hands. “I won!”

I looked back at Niall, only to find him staring, mouth open and eyes wide, at Autumn. Autumn, being the observant girl she is, looked over at Niall and smiled. “Hi! My name is Autumn and this is my Daddy!” I think Niall’s eyes got even bigger, if it was possible.

“C’mon, Autumn, let’s go see if your Daddy has any cookies we can make.” Harry said, taking Autumn from my arms and carried her to the kitchen.

“What the actual fuck, Zayn?” Niall suddenly snapped. I flinched, closing the door when he finally stepped in. “You went and knocked a girl up and now what? This? Is this why you left Liam?”

“No!” I protested. “I-it’s a long story.”

“Start talking.” Niall growled.

“Come on, let’s go to where Autumn can’t hear us.”

I led Niall to the back porch, sighing as I leaned against the wall.

“Two years and nine months ago, when you guys were on tour, I went to the doctor’s because I was throwing up constantly and thought I had something worse than the flu.” I took a deep breath. “Turns out I had something much better than the flu.”
