44 | The baby shower

It's been a week and a half since Zayn found out about Gigi and Perrie. After ignoring both for a whole week, he finally let them explain how the relationship between them happened. Zayn even came clean about having sex with Liam many times during his and Perries relationship which ended up with him getting a hard slap across the face, but they somehow got along. He agreed to keeping the girls fling a secret since Perrie's reputation was still being the popular "straight" girl, but they also agreed on telling everyone that Zayn and her broke up. Of course, Zayn was seen as the asshole.

The blond wasn't ready yet to talk to Liam about getting together, since he was honestly a little scared. He knew he had feelings for him, he finally knew it. But he was afraid he might fuck things up again. Especially after the way he treated him while he was with Perrie. He let his ego get the best of him and he still hated himself for that. But, the lad decided to change back into his own self and started off by dying his hair to black again. He trimmed his beard a little and got rid of his contacts, using his glasses again.

For Zayn, it has also been a week and a half since he last saw the brunette. He heard that due to the pregnancy, the school had allowed Liam to stay at home and finish his assignments and homework there. The lad could only imagine how stressful it would be for Liam if he stayed in school longer while carrying three babies in his stomach.

Zayn still hasn't come around in telling his parents about Liam, it already being probably over two months since he got him pregnant. But he decided to tell them at Christmas Eve, which was in two days. He was nervous since he knew his mother was gonna beat him first before shower him with kisses. His dad would probably praise him but before he would do that, he'd slap the back of his head.

Zayn was currently on his way to Liam's place, nervously gnawing at his bottom lip. He didn't know why he was going over to the brunettes house, but he had a guess in the back of his mind, knowing exactly why.

Once he stepped onto the front porch and stood in front of the wooden door, he brought his knuckles up, gently knocking at the wood. His eyes moved around to see that there were a lot of balloons – pink and blue – tied against the different flower pots and chairs, his heart suddenly beating faster than a mile.

His head lifted up the second he heard the door opening in front of him, eyes landing on a familiar woman he considered seeing as his second mother. "Zayn!" Karen exclaimed happily when she saw the lad, a soft smile forming her lips. "What are you doing here, sweetie?"

"I– uh, I came to see Liam?" It came out more as a question than an answer, a soft visible blush tinting on his cheeks.

"Oh..." Karen frowned a little. "Maybe you should come over another time, hun. Liam is busy at the mom–"

"Mom? Who's at the door?" Both Zayn and Karen looked up to spot Liam walking out of the living room, looking up from his bump. The two boys eyes met, the brunette stopping mid track. "What are you doing here?" His voice came out a little bitterly, Zayn's chest aching at the sound.

"I– we need to talk." The dark haired lad said softly and bit his lip. "Please?"

"No," Liam shook his head. "There's nothing to talk about." He said with a straight face, his arms wrapped around his bump. Karen pursed her lips and glanced between the two teenage boys, sensing some sort of tension, so she decided to head back the party that was taking place in the lounging area, leaving them be.

"Liam, please. I– i came to a decision...."

"Fucking took you long enough, you prick." The curly haired boy scoffed and rolled his eyes. "I actually don't want to hear it, so do me the favor and just leave me the fuck alone."

"Li–"

"No, Zayn. For Christ sake, I don't want you anywhere near me. Get that? I'm done with you." Liam sneered ever-so bitterly, giving him a cold glare.

Zayn looked at him and clenched his hands into fists before approaching him. He wasn't going to let Liam's stubbornness get in the way. He pushed the pregnant boy against the wall gently, causing him to gasp in shock and stare at him with his eyes wide. "What the f–" Liam squeaked in surprise when the older lad suddenly smashed their lips together in a seething kiss.

And as much as the boy wanted to pull away and slap him, he just melted into the kiss instead, his hands cupping his cheeks. He moaned softly when their hips suddenly came in contact, his bump being the only thing in the way. Liam felt like melting into a puddle as he kissed his former best friend, fingers tangling in his smooth dark locks.

"I'm sorry." Zayn mumbled in between kisses, his eyes starting to water. "I'm so fucking sorry." He whispered and sniffled, pulling back to look down at a dazed Liam.

The younger boy's eyes shifted up to look into Zayn's, his lips slightly parted. "Kissing me and apologizing isn't going to magically make me forgive you, Zayn." He said softly and looked at him. "I– we can't." He shook his head and gently pushed him away.

"Just– don't." He wanted to leave but the dark haired lad pulled him back, gently showering his face with feathery kisses.

"Don't do this." Zayn said and placed his hands on his bump. "If you keep pushing me away like this, you might stress." He kissed his forehead and sighed softly as Liam leaned into his touch.

"I want to make it up to you. I– I really do. I'm sorry for what I did. Fuck, I'm an idiot. A selfish idiot." He didn't know the tears were streaming down his face until Liam gently cupped his cheeks and wiped them away with his thumbs, a sigh leaving him.

"Do you love me?" The brunette whispered softly as his own eyes watered with tears, looking up at him with hopeful eyes. Zayn sniffled and bit down his bottom lip before he replied with the one answer he was finally able to spill.

"Yes."
