Baby Tomlinson || ON HOLD

T W O

After about thirty minutes of riding the filthy New York City bus we had finally made it to the city shopping center. Holding Isabelle on my hip protectively I started walking into the main entrance of the mall.

Once we got in we went in to 'BabiesRus'.
As we went in the huge store I went straight to my favorite section, clearance.

Yes i'm a cheap mum, but when you have a child and have barley any money from your crappy job than you can judge.

The first thing that caught my eye was a sparkly blue ballerina tutu apparently Belle was having the same type of taste as she reached for another tutu. I laughed at she struggled in my arms to try and snatch it down.

"You want Mama to get you this love?" I asked as she eagerly nodded.

I tossed Isabelle in the air about a few inches to get a better grip on her because she started to slip down my hip as I walked over to pay for Isabelles new clothing.

Next we went into Forever21 as I walked in the colorful store I started spinning in circles bringing Belle with me to dance she started giggling.

"Mama stowp!" She laughed as I continue to shake my hips and kiss her forehead with the blaring music playing.

As I looked around for a while I than spotted a cute blouse on sale so I put Belle down next to me. I than approach the white lace admiring how nice it was and the best part about it was I could actually afford it. I looked at it to see if I should really get it.

''Hey Belle, should Mums get this? '' I asked my daughter but only to get ignored-typical.

I looked down, gasping feeling my chest start to pound seeing nothing but my other shopping bags and not my baby girl.

"Isabelle?" I yelled starting to get scare myself

"Isabelle come back here!"  frantically searching the store feeling my whole surrounding getting dizzy I kept yelling for help.

"Has anyone seen my daughter?"

No one would even take a glance at me.

I ran around the store but didn't see her. I then quickly rushed out the store into the crowed area of the mall I couldn't see much but I had to find her, after searching for another few minutes I heard a calling of a familiar voice.

"Mama!"

I frantically snapped my head around I took a breath of relief as tears were rushing down my face not being able to get over this panic. As I saw my beautiful baby girl with someone only about thirty feet away "Isabelle!" I yelled as Isabelle ran to me.

Holding my breath I start to run as fast as I could, once I saw her the man that had found her past her over I quickly yanked her away and hugged her, my eyes squeezed shut as I still couldn't keep control of my tears.

"Oh my God thank you so much " I kept repeating to no one in particular but I suddenly hurt a polite chuckle.

"It was nothing I'm just happy she found her mum before something dangerous could have happened.'' The man who had found her said , who I didn't realize was still standing in front of us still until now, the oddly familiar yet strange voice said .

" Your daughter here has quit the chatter box-" He paused to chuckle ''She said I wa-Melanie? " He gasped as I looked up to see my brother Liam. I stood there frozen like a statue as he ran over and hugged me, I hugged him back still holding on to my baby I wanted to cry of happiness.

"I haven't seen you in so long." I said as I let go of him and wiped the tears he just smiled.

" I missed you so much baby sis, where the hell have you been and why haven't you called or anything to let me know you weren't dead!?" He barked at me but with concern in his voice holding on to my cheeks looking into my eyes to see if I was really there.

"Lets just say something came up." I replayed honestly looking over at Bella. He looked at her with wide eyes as his lips had a gap in them now finally realizing what I was taking about.

I wasn't going tell him the truth about Louis being the dad or any specific details he would really be furious and I can't handle that drama right now in my life and it could run in the boy's friendship and possibly the band. I wasn't going to be the reason One direction split.

Suddenly I noticed an all to familiar curly head and a blonde coming are way.

"Look, Liam, I really need to go now." I said frantically as I started walking away.

"Well wait where can I find you?" He called out jogging next me.

"Urh Go to the old recored store on 67th and we can talk their." I said backing away still.  "And come alone." I finished off running out of the mall.

  I knew if Harry and Niall were with Liam at the mall then Zayn had to be with them too because he would go with Niall and if all four of them were here in this mall than I knew with out a doubt Louis had to of been with them as well and I refuse to see him.

-Liam-

I watched Melanie rush out then quickly ran the speed of lightning. I just couldn't believe my eyes, did I imagine that? After all this time, I finally found her, Melanie had seemed to have gotten taller, her hair was so much darker and a lot lo fee than the blunt shoulder cut length she had, also her glasses were gone un like the high school girl I remember her as.

She had gotten so skinny in size, her make up and fashion style were different. It was almost like she was a complete different person.

Thats when it hit me, she has a baby? My baby sister has a baby of her own, how could she have hid this from me-her family?

I stood here in the middle of the mall thinking as Harry and Niall suddenly came tumbling towards me like idiots.

''Who was that hottie?" Harry asked.  I stood frozen still taking in the last few minutes thinking over everything that just happened.

Realizing what Harry said I subconsciously punched his arm.

"Oi what the hell mate?" Harry says rubbing his sore arm.

"Melanie" I blurt stuttering out, they just looked at me  and then each other in confusion.

"Melanie as in your sister?" I heard Louis voice ask all of a sudden, not even realizing what and Zayn and walked over behind Harry and Niall.

"I just saw her, she was just standing here." I told them looking up and pointing where she had just been.

You could tell Louis felt just as shocked as I was he hasn't seen her since she broke up with him and took off years ago leaving all of us behind with unknown answers.

"She's here, in The city. My baby sister is fucking here in America!" I yelled to myself, Louis just stood their with a sad expression. I shrugged it off though cause I knew he missed her just as much as me and continued to speak.

"That wasn't all lads." I said to them "She had a child with her- just a toddler, I think it was hers." They all looked at me in disbelief while Louis looked disgusted.

"Hers as in like she's the mum?" Zayn asked confused still as I slowly nodded.

"She told me to meet her at this record store tomorrow she didn't say a time though." I said to them as they seemed as shocked as I was.

"Just go in the afternoon and try to see if she can explain why she took off." Zayn said as we started to walk to the van that brought us here. I couldn't stop thinking how funny it was when the little girl came up to and told me I was her uncle I just laughed thinking it was just another crazy fan who brain washed their kid into believing that but I am glad to say It was just my sister.
