Chapter 17

Kira P.O.V

It's been 3 months. Today was Ava's birthday and Liam had agreed to throw Ava a birthday party.

"Awe.. you look so cute." I smile as I add a flower to her hair. She was turning 6 today.

"Mommy , I want to be as pretty as you are." She smiled widely saying. "Your gonna be even more beautiful than I am." I smiled at her saying.

"Your growing so big . I can't believe your six already." I smiled kissing her cheek. "I'm gonna be big like you one day." She said twirling.

"Right and I'm gonna love you no matter the age you are." I touched her hair saying. "Come on . Nana's gonna take my head off if I don't get you downstairs."

As Ava and I walked downstairs we were greeted by Paige. Paige squealed pulling Ava into a tight hug. "Happy birthday baby girl."

I left Ava with Paige going to Liam. He engulfed me into his arms before attaching his lips to mines. "I love you." He breath out. "I love you too." I whispered against his lips.

"Ok ok. No kissing my daughter Mister." My mom said coming up to us. We rested our forehead against each other before parting.

The door bell rang and everyone looked at me confused. Ava's party doesn't start until 4 o'clock . "Kira you go get it your young and almost as beautiful as me." My mom said walking off with Ava. Everyone laughed and I couldn't help but let a smile creep to my lips.

I ran to the door and swung it open. "Zayn." I breathed out. "Kira." He answered. "Ugh." "What are you doing here?? I mean not what are you doing here but y-" I rambled but was cut off.

"I came to help decorate , if that's okay with you." He said. He still managed to take my breath away . Gia and him were engaged so I knew what they have is serious.

"Yeah . I guess." I answered stepping aside. He entered and I led him to my moms back yard.

"Daddy." Ava squealed coming toward us. Zayn engulfed her into a tight hug before spinning her around.

"My birthday girl ." He said with a smile kissing her cheek. "Zayn." My mom smiled at him.

"Mrs. Lorenzo." He smiled sweetly saying. "Oh silly boy. Call me Kira." She said pinching his cheek. Zayn nodded at her .

Ava was propped up on Zayn's waist. "Okay . I'm officially done with this , I like it ." I heard Paige say coming from the living room holding a paper lantern.

She looked up seeing Zayn giving him a slight smile. Liam approached slightly after.

He came to stand next to me before kissing me. Zayn payed no attention . "Alrite guys we have one hour before her birthday party starts. Let's make this happen." Paige smirked.

The set up took about 30 minutes. We called off the party only to surprise Ava. Zayn took her out to get ice cream while we tried to set up everything .

We finished setting up everything in time to hear the giggles of my daughter and then there she was beautiful as ever.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA." I yelled and so did the crowd. Her face lit up and my heart leaped for she was just so precious. "Mommy ." She screamed running towards me engulfing me into a tight hug. Everyone cheer coming to give ava a hug.

Everyone sang happy birthday and Ava jumped giggling as her curls bounce in excitement . "We love you Ava." We all yelled at the end of our singing and the day was spent great .

I could honestly say I loved every second of it. Every single second that went by.

It was now 10 at night Everyone left and Liam and Ava were knocked out upstairs. "Goodnight lovelies ." My mom bid to me and Zayn. "Goodnight Ms. Lorenzo." Zayn said with a smile. "Goodnight mom." And with that she headed upstairs.

Zayn and I sat on the porch in silence as we gazed at the stars. "I'm sorry." Zayn said causing me to turn and face the side of his face. "For everything." He said turning to face me.

I searched his eyes for doubt but I came up with nothing of doubt . He stared back for a while before breaking the silence . " In all honesty I lost something incredible."

"I've made poor choices ." I said looking away for it was indeed the truth. "I'm sorry for hiding Ava from you , in all honesty , you not wanting her wasn't my biggest fear. It was losing you but it still happened." I said turning to face him. His light brown eyes sparkled causing me to feel a sense of security.

"Hey, we all make mistakes." He said his gaze never leaving mines. "Right. " I agreed.

"She's way beautiful , smart, strong and respectful." He commented looking away . "Did she ever ask , who her father is? " he added.

"She didn't have to ," I replied my gaze never leaving the side of his face . He turned to look at me and that was all I needed to continue. "When she was born I gave her a picture of you. She stares at it every night as I reassure her that you love her."

I took a deep breath looking away gazing at these stars . "She knew by the age of 2 that Liam was not her father. She asked ,which was the cutest thing on this planet, and I didn't hesitate to answer." I finished looking back at him. My eyes blurred because it was just so hard to block it out.

He put his hand to my cheek never breaking eye contact. I missed those hazel orbs. "Thank you for not hiding that when you could have." He spoke causing a tear to fall down my cheek and didn't hesitate wiped it away.

I put my had over his with a slight smile. "I loved you. It was quite impossible to hide that." I smiled saying and he smiled letting his hand fall from my face.

I took a deep breath getting up composing myself. "Good luck on your engagement." I smiled saying and that time i meant it . I lost my chance and sure it hurt but he was happy and that made me happy .

"You deserve it." I finished saying and he smiled. "Thank you Kira." He smiled saying.

"There's blankets in the closet if you need." I said before making my way upstairs. I entered Ava's room to see her curled up next to Liam and Paige.

I smiled before closing the door walking to my moms room. I kicked off my shoes laying next to her. Her eyes opened and she smiled.

"AaMom , I love him." I breathed out tears staining the pillow case. She embraced me into a hug. "I know love."

"But I'm happy." I lastly said before I cried myself to sleep.
