Forced to marry him! Completely re-edited

Fight me?

Zayn's POV:

"Dad what are you doing?!" I exclaimed, looking behind me before walking into the room. I wanted to make sure that Lexi was out of ear and eye sight.My dad was crazy to do this, being in a small room with a white cot in the centre of the room, that looked pretty new and furnished. My dad was on his knees, screw driver at hand trying to put the pieces together.

"Oh God, Dad this isn't good." I mumbled to myself raking a hand down my face. Lexi was meters away from us, she was downstairs putting away the groceries after we went to the supermarket. And when she came upstairs she'd freak out. This wasn't a good idea at all and I really didn't know what to do from here on.

"Now, just hold on for a minute." My dad said pushing himself off the ground, his right hand trailing the top of the cot whilst he handed me the screw driver. "I still have to get the mattress but it should be ready within a couple of days."

I slowly shut the door behind me and quietly walked closer "Dad look, I appreciate you doing this but Lexi...she isn't ready for this—"

"Nonsense Zayn, she's 7 months pregnant." said my Dad wiping the sweat off his brow "just take this as a present from me —your sons grandfather."

I almost felt like pulling the hair off my head because he wasn't listening, no one was and it was driving me insane! "Dad! Lexi didn't want a baby. I basically forced her to get pregnant."I continued knowing that at this point my dad would get mad "What I'm trying to say is that she doesn't want things like this....she's not ready for it—"

"You forced your wife to get pregnant?!" He asked raising a brow.

I gulped and nodded "It was mums idea but I'm the one who did it so I should be blamed." I said but my dad quickly grabbed his box of tools and prepared to leave.

"Do not stand up for that women! I knew something wasn't right." he said, his voice so stern i almost shivered in my shoes "I did not raise my son to be like this." Then with that he opened the door just as Lexi walked in.

Fuck I screwed up again. I really didn't know how to make everyone happy and I was in so much shit that I couldn't do anything but screw up. I hated myself and I hated the person I had become!

Lexi turned around looking behind, where my dad was defiantly storming down the stairs only to slam the front door. She turned back to glance at me "What was that about?" she asked but then paused when her eyes moved to the cot. Her mouth opened slightly to say something "Zayn...I-I can't..."

My gaze met hers where she looked deep in thought as if she was having a mini civil war with herself. Did she know about my fight with my dad? Did she hate me more for everything I've done? Then I realised that she was talking about the cot. And it sure was a sight seeing me with the screw driver in my hand whilst the new cot stood at my side.

"I-It's not what you think I promise..." I started saying but then paused...I had to pretend like I didn't know her whole plan and I guess I thought Lexi would come clean to me "...why not? I mean we are having this baby together..." I said stepped forward my hands going to her belly but she quickly stepped away.

"...The baby can sleep with us." she quickly said and I knew she was making excuses. "I just...I don't think we need to waste money on things we don't need." she said

If I could hear my heart breaking then this would be it. She was lying and lying and I was so close to losing her and our child. "...but....we are having a kid Lexi, they aren't cheap."

"I know...can we just think about this next month?" she asked.

But she wasn't here next month, in fact she was leaving tomorrow. Her flight was scheduled at 11:30pm in the night. The minutes were ticking away and I was one step closer to losing her....losing them. I had wracked my brain searching for ways to prove to her that I was worthy to be with her and raise a child with her but i just didn't know how.
