Broken

Zayn's POV

" I am sorry Mr. Malik. Your child is born still."

Her words hit me like tons of bricks. Stark terror hit me.
Still born? Why was our child born dead? How? Why?

Suddenly the thought of Zara came to my mind. I turned to look at her and she was looking at the dead baby in doctor's hands. Her eyes were wide and tears were running down her eyes.
Everything was silent. It was as if the time had stopped.
Our child. Our daughter. Our Rose. She was still born. How is it even possible.

" I'm sorry for your loss Mr. And Mrs. Malik." said the doctor.

Now her silent tears turned into loud sobs. I made my way towards her and engulfed her in my arms in a tight embrace.

" Why Zayn? Why does it have to be me always? Why does it have to be you and me always.? What did we do to deserve it?" she asked sobbing.

" Its alright baby. Everything is doing to be okay." I said as tears made their way down my own cheeks.

" No Zayn. It isn't. I am no good Zayn. I couldn't even take care of our baby." she cried.

I wiped her tears with my thumb and cupped her face in my hands.

" Shh. Zara. It wasn't in your hands."

" Yes it was. I did not take care of our baby."

" You did baby. You did. Don't blame yourself."

" Who else is to blame Zayn?"

" Nobody is to be blamed honey. Don't cry. Everything will be fine." I whispered.

" No Zayn. Nothing's going to be okay. We just lost our first child. I hate myself Zayn and I hate-"

I cut her off by pressing my lips to hers and kissed her with all the love and passion inside of me. Tears streamed down the both of our eyes as we both hugged each other and kissed each other and held onto each other for support. We needed each other.

We were soon cut off by a throat clearing. I slowly pulled apart and kissed her forehead.

" Sorry to disturb you Mr. Malik but we have to shift her in another room. She will have to stay her for a couple of hours and then she can leave. Besides, all your friends are standing outside waiting for you. It's better if you tell them." the doctor informed us.

I nodded and the nurses took Zara to another room while I went outside to face my friends. I wiped my hands and stuffed my hands inside my pockets before going out.

" Congratulations Zayn!" they all gleamed with happiness as soon as I walked out of the room. Little did they know that there was nothing to congratulate me about.

" Zayn? Mate? Is everything okay?" asked Harry.

I quietly went and sat down on one of the chairs in the waiting area. They all came to me and sat down beside me or on the floor in front of me.

" Zayn?" said Eishita.

" We......we our.....child"

" What is it Zayn? Is everything okay?" asked Ashley.

" Our daughter was still born."

A wave of silence and shock took over them as they sat there wide eyed.

" What? " Eishita finally chocked out.

I looked down at the floor as tears started brimming in my eyes. That's when I felt Eishita wrapping her arms around me for comfort.
She hugged me tightly as I cried silently in her shoulder.
