"So Mr. Malik, we went over all of the things that you will need to do heath wise for Evelyn, now we are letting you take her home," Dr. Montgomery said to me as we entered the NICU. These past two weeks the boys' have helped me out a lot. I moved back into a flat with all of them since Perrie has gone on tour, we all took on some parenting classes, they came with me to the hospital everyday to see Evelyn, and I finally get to bring her home; I'm so excited. When we entered nurses were taking off the things sticking to her chest and removing her IV. She has grown a little bit in two weeks and she finally is six pounds which is good. When they got her out the nurses started swooning over Evelyn, talking about how much they will miss her. They soon handed Evelyn over to me and I carefully cradled her in my arms; 'just like you learned in your classes' I thought. 

"Thank you all for everything you've done for Evelyn. I will never forget you all," After I shared a few brief hugs I left the hospital. When I reached my car I looked down at my wide awake baby. She finally decided to open her eyes a week and a half ago. They are a beautiful dark brown color; just like her mum's. Her hair also lightened up a bit. It is a very dark brown to the point where it does look black. I opened the car door and carefully set Evelyn in her seat. I buckled her in and kissed her forehead; getting into the drivers side and driving off.

In about twenty minutes I arrived at the boys' and my flat. I jumped out of the car and unhooked Evelyn's car seat from the car with her still in it. I walked up to the door and was about to unlock it, but it flew open.

"ZAYN! AND EVELYN!" Louis screamed in my face. I hugged him quickly and walked into the flat. I set Evelyn's seat on the ground and pushed the handle back so I could pick  her up. As I was cradling her in my arms Louis snatched her away from me.

"Who's a cutie? You're a cutie little Eve. Yes you are," Louis said in a baby voice.

"Eve?" I questioned. He nodded frantically when I saw Niall run down the stairs covered in paint.

"WE HAVE FINISHED THE NURSERY!" Niall exclaimed. I smiled widely and took Evelyn from Louis, walking upstairs with them following behind me. When I reached the door that would be her nursery I opened it; in stood Harry and Liam with wide smiles on their face. I gaped and looked around.

"You guys' shouldn't have," I whispered. 

"It was no problem really Zayn, we are excited to be uncles," Liam said. They all hugged me tightly when Evelyn started to cry.

"Are you hungry baby girl?" I cooed. Harry took her from my arms and I went downstairs into the kitchen, grabbing formula that we bought yesterday off of the shelf. I followed the directions on how to make a bottle and soon I was back upstairs feeding Evelyn. Just then there was a knock on the door and Louis ran to go and answer it; I was left upstairs feeding Evelyn and talking to the other boys.

"Will we be able to bring Evelyn with us on tour?" Niall asked.

"I'm not leaving my baby here with a nanny for seven months, of course I am bringing her," I said looking at Niall.

"WE WILL GET TO SHOW HER OFF TO EVERYONE I'M SO EXCITED!" Liam shouted, we all chuckled but it was interrupted by a feminine voice.

"Zayn, may I please speak to you?" It was Perrie. Louis was walking back into the room now. I handed Evelyn over to Harry and walked out of the room. I leaned in to kiss Perrie, but she turned her head away. What's up with her? Why isn't she on her tour right now? "Look Zayn, I love you so much but I think we need to take a break. I need to focus on my career, not play the role of a mum. I'm sorry, maybe you'll find someone better than me," She said looking at me. Her words hit me like 1000 pound bricks. She is breaking up with me, she is no longer my fiance. I felt tears well up in my eyes as she took her ring off of her finger and gently placed it in my hand. She leaned up and kissed my cheek softly before walking away.

"I can't believe that just happened," I whispered to myself, wiping tears off of my face. I made my way back into the nursery where the lads were talking about something. Niall was now holding Evelyn and she was messing with a long necklace that he wore. They all turned their attention to me when I walked into the room and their smiles faded.

"Zayn, mate? What happened?" Harry asked me. That's when I broke down into a fit of sobs. She broke up with me because I have a kid. The boys' neared me and hugged me tightly.

"She-broke-up-with-me," I said in between sobs. That's when I heard small cries from my baby girl. I looked at her and took her from Niall. "It's okay baby girl," I said trying to compose myself. "Daddy's okay," I said, also trying to convince myself. I wiped my tears from my face and kissed the tears on Evelyn's face.

"To lighten the mood I say we give Eve the gifts we got for her," Louis said in a hopeful voice. I smiled slightly at him and we all walked downstairs into the living room.

"My gift first," Liam said handing me a gift bag. I held Evelyn in one arm while opening the gift. It's a little stuffed batman toy. I showed  Evelyn; smiling at her.

"Look what Uncle Liam got you baby," I cooed. In response she started making spit bubbles. I laughed and set the gift on the coffe table.

"Time for my gift!" Louis sing-songed. His wasn't wrapped, he just tossed it over to me and I caught it. It's a cute sock monkey; I showed Evelyn before setting it on the coffee table.

"My turn," Harry said handing me Evelyn's gift, his wasn't wrapped as well. Harry's gift he got for her is a kitten stuffed animal with big eyes. Now it is Niall.

"Here you go kid!" Niall said handing his gift straight to Evelyn. She tried to hold it, but she is still so tiny. The gift is a lamb stuffed animal, I think. I thanked all of the boys before walking upstairs and changing Evelyn's diaper and clothes. The onesie I dressed her in says 'Tattoos & Motorcycles & Beer & Rock&Roll.' Then I put some skull shoes on her that are kind of big, it's hard to find a lot of preemie shoes! I smiled at my daughter and picked her up of of her changing table. I've decided to get a clearer head, I will be taking Evelyn for a walk with me. I made my way back downstairs and said goodbye to the boys', also putting Evelyn in her stroller, then walking out of the house.

I just keep thinking, nobody could ever in a million years replace Perrie.
