Zayn's pov:

I was sitting there in my bedroom. Staring at nothing but my phone screen. He wouldn't let me meet Zayra and I didn't blame him. It was all my fault. How could I be so stupid back then to let him go like that? I shouldn't have ignored to my heart who was constantly saying he was more than a bet. I shouldn't have ignored the butterflies that came alive whenever he was around. Moreover, I shouldn't have denied her, my baby. I know, I should've listened to Summer's advice and never let him go. I know, I should've told him how I felt about him and the baby. But like the coward I was back then, I backed out and let him go. I can't even myself that I hadn't even tried to contact him in these 5years when hadn't even changed his number. I should've listened to Summer and at least called him, maybe then I wouldn't feel this much guilty. I messed up. I should've listened to her 5 years ago. I should have...

5 years ago

Summer walked out of the room to give Harry and his mom some privacy. He didn't want to leave Harry yet but he knew, if he waited more minutes then he would be seemed suspicious. So listening to his mind's voice, he followed his cousin out of the room. She entered her cabin with a smile on her face and sat on her desk.

"What's with all this smiley face?", smiling, I asked her.

"Nothing, I'm just happy for him and the baby girl", she said making my smile disappear.

"Oh", was all I could say.

I couldn't believe myself, I denied my baby girl. Our baby girl. I punched him in the tummy, I could be the reason she could be d-dea-a-d. Just by thinking about that, I was shivering. I couldn't even imagine how Harry felt. I wanted to punch myself now for that.

A deep sigh from Summer, brought me back to reality.

"I wish, I could be a part of pumpkin's life.", smiling softly Summer said.

I raised my eyebrows, "Pumpkin?", I asked.

"Oh that's what Harry call his baby, well baby girl now.", smiling she said.

"I don't know why Zayn, but I feel this strong connection with Harry and the baby. Like I'm supposed to be in that pumpkin's life", she said.

"I just want to strangle that asshole of a father to death, who denied pumpkin. You know, I wanted to kill that boy who had punched him and tried to kill Pumpkin. It was a miracle that pumpkin is still alive and safe. The intensity of that punch was really hard. It even left some bruises on that part of Harry's body. If the punch landed just 2inches lower, Harry could have lost his baby. Pumpkin could have been dead Zayn. A baby that hasn't even opened her eyes in the world.", she said, voice breaking in the ends.

Hearing this all I felt even more guilty. Honestly, I wanted to die now. I can't believe I punched him so hard that had left bruises. I thank God for protecting my Pumpkin from my asshole self and then mustered up the courage to say,

"Punch me and strangle me to death then Summer. 'cause that asshole of a father is none other than me.", bowing down my head in shame, I said.

She sat there, shocked. Jaw dropped.

"What?", she whispered.

"You heard it right. I'm the father.", I whispered in the equally low voice.
