My Best Friend's Brother

Chapter 32

-Zayn

The doctor comes in after I finish my third bag of goldfish.

"It's time to meet your new baby."

"Finally." They roll me out to the operation room.

"You can choose one person." Mum steps forward with a smile.

"How'd you know I'd pick you?"

"Under no circumstances am I not to be the first person to hold my grandson." I smile and she grabs my hand as we enter the operation room.

"You will feel a slight pinch but please do not worry. You will be fine."

"Okay." I press my face into Mum's hand. She looks over the curtain and smiles when she hears cries.

-Harry

I pace back and forth in the waiting hall until Zayn's mum comes out taking off her gloves.

"How is he?" She doesn't answer except her eyes fill up with tears.

"I haven't seen anything more beautiful since my own children's birth." She leads us back to the room and opens the door.

"Harry, you can go in first." I walk in and see Zayn cradling a blanket. He smiles down at the small baby. He hears us walk in and looks up.

"Hi." He whispers to us all, giving us a tired smile.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm just really tired."

"How's the baby?"

"He looks just like you." Zayn coos at him.

"He?" Zayn slowly nods with a smile.

"Our little Alistair." Zayn hands him to me and it feels like my entire world stops. This little guy is ours. We practically made him out of love and he's going to be looking up to me as he grows older.

"Why does he have blue eyes. I thought he would have our eyes." Javadd looks over Harry's shoulder in confusion. Zayn sighs and looks over at us.

"With Harry's green eyes and my brown eyes, the odds of our little nugget here having Harry's eyes was 37.5%. He got the rare 12.5% ,which is blue."

"I knew that." Javadd scoffs and walks back over to the chair to text.

"Sure you did."

"Could you guys give Zayn and I a minute?"

"Can we take the baby?"

"You can take the baby." They walk out with Alistair then I grab Zayn's hand.

"You know I love you?"

"Yes."

"I'm so glad to have you and you've blessed us with a healthy son even though he's three weeks early. I want to be with you for the rest of my life so." I pull the ring out of my back pocket and kneel.

"Will you marry me? Again?" Zayn laughs and smiles at me.

"Yes, I will marry you again." I slide the ring back on his finger and peck his lips.

"You still have the ring?" Zayn looks at the ring and smiles.

"I've had it ever since you threw it at me." He looks down with a frown.

"I'm sorry."

"Stop apologising. Just as long as we forget everything that's happened in the past and move towards our future."

"I agree. But if you pull a stunt like that again I swear to God, Harry, your head will be on a stick like Lord Of The Flies and the person that you do that with will be Simon, begging for forgiveness."

"Huh?"

"I will be the Jack Merridew to your Simon. Do not test me Styles." I point with a smile and laugh along with him.

"I love you so much."

"I know." We laugh and Harry and I end up kissing again. Everyone walks back in and Mum hands me Alistair. We look down at our little bundle of joy. He looks up at all of us with his big blue eyes.

"So, this is what it's like to be parents?"

"Oh, you have no idea yet." Mum looks at us and shakes her head. Harry's mum nods along with her.

"They don't stay young like this forever."

"Well, let's just embrace the moment while we can." We all coo at Ali with kind eyes and sweet smiles.

"Welcome to the world, Alistair."
