How Did We Get Here // Luke Hemmings & Zayn Malik

Chapter 87: What Do You Mean?

"Are you guys INSANE!" my dad sighs "Stephanie, calm down." She scoffs "I will not calm down!" I yell back "We won't! I can't give her away, not now!" she sneers "Emma, do you have the slightest idea of what you GUYS are getting yourself into!" I sob "Yes! we do! We've talked about this!" she scoffed "it doesn't matter your plan now! Do you have any idea what you guys got yourself into with Klavdiya and Yegor!" I put my head down and cry. She yells "how can you be so stupid Emma!" Zayn yells back at her "Hey! Don't insult her!" my mom chuckles "And you Zayn, does your parents know. Will you be there for them after everything or will you give up and walk away?" I plead "Please understand where we are coming from. Parents to parents." She sneers "You aren't a parent. Not until you start caring for them." I scream "I'm sorry IF I CAN'T BE WITH MY DAUGHTER BUT I LOVE HER!" she screams back "Don't be so naïve! You're a child for fuck sake Em's!" I look up to my dad "please dad, say thing to her." My dad sighs, rubbing his chin "Sorry Em's but you're mother is right. You guys are teens. You guys can't provide things like Yegor." I look at him with disbelief and whisper "Out of everyone I thought you would understand." He sighs and looks down. Then Zayn's family enters the room. My mom raises her voice "leave the girls outside, we need to talk."

They tell the girls to visit my baby and slowly close the door. His dad ask "What happened?" my mom sneers "seems like your son and my daughter want to keep the baby." His dad scoffs "What? WHY!" Zayn sighs "dad, it's our child." His mom nods her head disappointingly "No Zayn, you are too young to raise a baby. What happened to your future?" we all started arguing. It was us against the world. Suddenly the knob rattles and Yegor and Klavdiya walk in. I gasp and close my eyes.

My mom scoffs "Emma, Zayn; you want to tell them?" I cry "Yegor and Klavdiya, were not signing the papers." Klavdiya's face turned pale "What?" my mom sighs "They want to keep their daughter." Yegor yells at us "No! we had a Deal! We suppose to take our Anastasia home with us!" I frown "Anastasia?" Yegor screams "Our! Daughter's Name!" I close my eyes and whisper "I'm sorry." Klavdiya screams from the top of her lungs "No! No! You promised US! No! We will fight for our child!" they storm out and slam the door shut. I start to sob and pull Zayn close to me. my dad sighs "I will try my best and win the case Emma, but you have to believe in miracles." My mom frowns "we all love that baby Emma, but now that court case will destroy two lives, no matter who wins." They all leave and we stay there haunted.

Later that day, a nurse came in "hello, are you Emma Johnson?" I sigh, wiping the tears "yes?" she grins "okay, I'm your daughters nurse. I monitor her every hour. Now I have a few concerns. First, she doesn't have a name which makes it hard identifying her so we will need you name her ASAP. Secondly, since your daughter was born premature, she hasn't quite developed her lungs. I've been recording her progress and I've predicted she will not need the incubator until two months from now." Zayn and I shriek "two months!" she sighs "yes and that's if she keeps on progressing." She hands us forms and leaves. I look at Zayn and cry.

After a while, he sat at my feet and was signing the papers she gave us. He sighed "all we need is her name." I look at him "For sure it's not Anastasia." He chuckles "agreed, horrible name... How about Victoria." I frown "just cause were in London doesn't mean we have to name her after queen Victoria." He rolls his eyes "Then Dorothy?" I frown "Wizard or Oz?" he frowns "Then what? Miss picky." I sigh and look down at my yellow wrist band "Danielle." He chuckles "Liam's girlfriend." I roll my eyes "seriously, I like that name." he smiles "me too, Danielle, Dani, Dan." He writes the name down and sighs "last name?" I laugh "just hyphenate it." He shrugs "but we both hate my last name." I roll my eyes "then put mine."

In the night, my dad and Louis were in their laptops and Niall was calling his parents to give him references on these types of court cases. Suddenly Klavdiya and Yegor storm into the room. She yelled and threw a orange envelop in my face "You just got served. I'll be waiting in the court room and suing you for 500,000 Euros and for the baby." They storm off and I lay back on my bed. Ignoring everyone and staring into the white ceiling again.
