Talking To The Moon [z.m.]

15: What Is Love?

Zayn's POV

Three months passed and things were going very well unexpectedly.

Alex and I were bonding more than ever and my love for him kept growing more and more each day. I loved my son more than anything.

Apart from my son, Faith and I were progressing in our relationship and I was also very happy with the way things were going.

She was more comfortable with me and let me in to her world.

She still didn't give me all the answers I wanted but I decided on putting them aside until she was comfortable talking about them.

Anyways, now that she was more comfortable with me, I could do the things we used to do when we were dating.

I could tickle her, cuddle her, make love to her every night, basically all the things I've wanted to do with her ever since I got back.

I could tell that Alex was happy with the way things were going with his mum and I. He loved seeing us together and he was the happiest little boy in the planet at the moment.

We were at the zoo at the moment, a day off to take out Alex for him to explore.

I still haven't gotten a job yet but Louis was helping me find a job that wouldn't judge me on my criminal record even though it was nearly impossible.

Still, you could only hope.

Faith and I followed after Alex as he ran to the water, happy as can be.

He wore small swim shorts and goggles, his cute little feet paddling along the sand.

Faith wore a sexy purple bikini that showed off her curves and shape of her bum. I wore black swim shorts and no shirt.

The three of us stood in front of the water and waited for Alex to go in. I stood by him in case and he quickly dived in. Faith followed quickly after him and held him at arm's length as he tried to learn how to swim.

"Keep kicking, baby," Faith had her hands wrapped around Alex's waist and held him on top of the water.

He kicked with his feet perfectly and had a look of determination on his face. He looked so cute.

"That's my boy!" I cheered him on and swam beside them as he kept kicking.

Alex turned his head towards us and grinned. "I'm doing it, I'm doing it!"

Faith and I grinned and laughed at how happy he was. It was the only way we wanted our son to be.

Happy, happy, happy.

Faith and I helped Alex and took turns carrying his body over the ocean, making sure not to go into the deep.

Afterwards, we got out of the water and settled on the sand, sitting on a towel Faith had packed for us.

We ate in silence, enjoying the delicious sandwiches Faith made for us.

"What is that?" Alex pointed at the animal soaring up in the sky.

"It's a seagull." I told him.

"Why does he keep coming here?"

"Because he's hungry."

Alex looked down at his small piece of sandwich left and looked up again, thinking. "Should I give him this then, daddy?"

"If you want to." I shrugged, and Faith gave a small smile.
