( Harry's P.O.V)
I stuff my hands in my pockets and awkwardly look at the floor then up to her, "Are you okay?"
"I don't know" is all she says
She gestures for the kids to go over to her. She picks each of them up and places one on each thigh.
"Where do you keep your ice?" I ask
She giggles, "Um there's this thing called a freezer.. The kitchen is right over there," she points to the kitchen, I chuckle at her response. I go into the kitchen and get a ziplock bag and fill it with some ice, I put a paper towel over it so her skin isn't as sensitive to the ice directly touching her face.
"Here put that on your bruise," I hand her the ice.
"Which one?" she laughs but i can tell she is going to cry.
I didn't know what to do, the only girl that I have ever loved is so broken inside and it's all because of me. I break the silence, "What are their names," I try not to cry.
"This is Ava, and this is Jackson," Ava immediately waves at me, Jackson hides behind his mommy's arm, peeking out of one eye looking up at me. I can't help but smile. I crouch down to get to their level.
"Ava, Jackson this is..." she hesitates for a moment "... this is your daddy" I shed a couple tears , "Hi," I manage to get a smile out.
I clear my throat, "Mere we need to talk, whenever you're up to it is fine, I don't want to get into anything when all of... that, just happened." she stands up, "There's nothing to talk about Harry."
"Yes there is, I shouldn't have-"
"Save it... you should probably go," she quietly says.
I shake my head, "I'm not leaving you until I know you're completely okay, besides, you can't take care of them and yourself when you're like this."
"What makes you say that?" she stands up quickly trying to prove me wrong, she's too dizzy to even walk, I quickly grab both of her hands helping her balance. I smirk at her "what were you saying?"
"Fine but once Caleb-" I interrupt her, "Mere he abused the shit out of you...why would you even think about getting back together with him?"
"Well I'm sorry that he was the only one there for me when my so called boyfriend just left me here pregnant with twins!" She screams at me tears after tears running down her cheeks.
"I-I didn't mean to make you upset" I sit down beside her on the couch, Ava crawls from her mothers lap into mine. She smiles up at me and tilts her head, "Daddy?" I knod my head, " Yes baby daddy is here, I love you," I hold her tight and plant a kiss her on her forehead. I lift her up and put her on the floor.
I look over at Mere crying hysterically, her face buried in her hands.
I move closer to her, wrapping my arms around her, holding her. I put my head lightly against hers feeling every shake and every tear soak up within my sleeve, "I'm so, so, sorry Mere. I didn't mean to ever hurt you. I thought it was the best thing, to give you some space, I thought I would just be a bother. I thought I'd be a terrible dad, but I do know two things, whatever happens, everything will be okay and I will always love you."
She lifts up her head and looks me in the eyes, tears still falling down her face, she smiles at me and hugs me, I wrap my arms around her not wanting to ever let go. But somehow I know what I just said wasn't going to cut it. But it's worth it, I'd fight for her love until the day I die.

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a couple days, I've been trying to get my grades up.
Hopefully this chapter wasn't too short?
Next one will be longer (:
