-Liliana's POV-

Nana Anne jumps back at the sudden weight in her arms. "Liliana? What's going on." I feel my eyes well up, and I whimper out, "I don't know. Everything is falling apart so fast." A single tear falls down my cheek. "Oh Darling! Come inside!" She pulls me in and sits me on the couch. "Robin!" She calls up the stairs and Grandpa Robin walks down the stairs. "Hey DoodleBug!" He greets me using my childhood nickname. A small smile appears on my face but disappears just as fast.

He looks at Nana confused since I'm normally upbeat and happy. Nana shrugs and hands me a mug of hot cocoa as she sits by me. "Now you wanna explain why you're here. I love having you here, but I know something is wrong." I sigh and pick up the photo album off the coffee table where it had been sat while she was making the hot cocoa. Robin sits on the other side of me as I open the album. I here their breaths hitch as they see the pictures and I feel more tears run down my face as I look at the pictures. My whole life had been a lie..

I feel my heart break as I look at the photos of me and Louis together when I was a baby. The one that made me cry harder was the one of me and Louis when I was just born. I could see my dad in the background layed on a table with tubes in his nose smiling at me and Louis. I was still covered in gunk, but was wrapped in a white blanket and had a pink hat on my head and Louis was looking down at me with so much love in his eyes and a smile on his face with a few tears in his eyes. My dad had actually given birth to me... There was no surrogate... I had no mother.. I had to dads. Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.. And if Louis was my dad then that meant that Freddie was my brother.. Why hadn't my dad told me about it? Why did he have to lie?

I feel myself sobbing and the next thing I know, Nana is pulling me into a hug. As she hugs me, her phone rings. She pulls away and I wipe my face even though more tears keep coming. I hear my dad frantically talking on the other end. "Mom! Have you see Liliana?! She's not home, and her car is gone! I've called her but her phone is off!" Nana calmly responds, "She's with me Harry. She's okay, I promise." I hear my dad sigh. "Thank goodness! I'll be there in a half hour!" I frantically shake my head at that looking at Nana with a panicked look. I can't deal with him right now.

"I don't think that's a good idea right now, Harry." She says. "Why?!" I hear my dad explain. "It just isn't, love." She says calmly. "Well I'm sorry but that's my daughter. I'll be there in a half an hour." He then hangs up. Nana sighs. "Sorry, Love." I nod. "It's okay. I think I'm gonna lay down while wait for him to get here." I reply. She nods and her and Robin get up and go to the kitchen. Before I walk upstairs, I slip the picture of me and Louis out of the album and take it with me.

"I go into the guest bedroom and lay on the bed. I look up at the picture, my mind racing. I've always loved my life. It was just me and my dad, and it was good. But knowing there was someone else who might love me, made me wonder if it could get better. But my dad would never get back with Louis, so no, I guess it couldn't better. I put the picture to my heart and just thought of what life would've been like.

Eventually though, I hear my dad walk in and I pull the covers over my head, avoiding him at all costs. It takes him, ten minutes before coming upstairs. I guess Nana and Grandpa told him that I had found out. There's a slight knock on the door and then the door opens. "Lili?" My dad whispers. "Go away." I say back. He ignores me and walks over and sits on the edge of the bed. I roll over away from him as he moves the blankets away from my face. "Lili, c'mon. We have to talk about this." He pleads. I sit up. "Talk about what? How you've lied to me my whole life? How am I ever gonna be able to trust you ever again?" I exclaim. "Lili, he had changed after you were born. He was stressed. He had you and Freddie from to different people. He had a bad temper. He had started to throw things when he would get mad. I couldn't let him hurt you. He said he wouldn't but I couldn't risk it. So I took you and left. I told you the lies because I thought it was for the best."

I look down at my fingers. "You could've at least said I had another dad." I whisper. I see him nod. "Now I can't stop you from talking to him, but I don't want you to be upset if you guys don't get close. You were a year old when I left him, so you don't know each other. But I know for fact that he would love to get to know you." I nod and he kisses my forehead. "Am I forgiven?" He asks. "Buy me pizza and I'll consider it." He chuckles and nods. We get up and I hug him tightly, allowing him to kiss me on the top of my head. I continue to hold on the picture. We tell everyone goodbye and leave. We drove here in separate cars so we have to drive home that way, but before we leave I tell him to go home and I'd meet him there.

I put an address that I asked Uncle Niall for into my gps and drive there. When I get there, I sit in the car and take a few deep breaths. I grip the picture and slowly walk up to the front door and knock. I step back and wait and when the door opens, Louis looks at me surprised. I hand him the picture.

"Hi I feel like I should introduce myself. I'm Liliana. Your daughter."
