Florence's Point of View

"Shh, it's okay Evelyn," I said to her as I held her in my arms while I sat on my bed.

It's 5:30 in the morning and she just jeeps crying. I tried to feed her, but she just wouldn't latch on and would continue to cry.

I changed her diaper and she is still crying, I have no idea what to do.

As I sat on my bed, rocking Evelyn back and fourth, I heard my door creek open.

"Is she alright?" Niall asked as his head popped into the room.

"Niall? Why are you here?" I asked him surprised.

"I stayed with Cora. Do you need any help?" He asked opening the door wider. At this point Evelyn was whining, probably tired herself out.

"She won't eat and she just keeps crying," I told him. He made his way over to my bed and sat down, holding his arms out to me. I placed Evelyn in his arms and Niall smiled down at her as she had a pouty lip.

"I think she misses her daddy," Niall said is a kid-ish voice. When Niall said daddy Evelyn started to cry a bit more, knowing that daddy is Zayn.

Smart baby.

"Well, he wouldn't come over here just to hold her. He needs his rest."

"It's fine, I'll call him," Niall told me, pulling his phone out of his basketball shorts he's wearing.

Niall typed something into his phone and then set it to his ear.

"Oy mate, you awake?" Niall asked into the phone. I mentally groaned, I don't know if I will be able to be with just him at the moment.

"Evelyn's just being fussy, we think she misses you. Could you just- okay, I'll let you in just make sure to knock," Niall finished talking and hung up his phone, setting it back into his pocket.

"Are you really pregnant?" Niall asked after a few moments of silence. I looked at him with wide eyes, did Liam tell him?

"W-Who told you?" I asked him.

"I overheard you and Liam talking before we boarded the plane. Don't worry, I haven't told anyone," Niall said, shifting Evelyn over to me when he heard a knock at the door. Niall left the room and I sat there on my bed with Evelyn being fussy.

Zayn walked in shorty after and smiled when he saw me. I smiled slightly back and he held his hands out to take Evelyn.

I stood up and handed Evelyn over to him, her cries stopping instantly.

"How long has she been crying?" He asked me.

"About an hour, I guess she really missed her daddy ," I said to him. He leaned down and pecked Evelyn on the nose and she squealed loudly.I sighed and set my hand on my stomach, contemplating if I should tell Zayn or not.

The thought of telling him made me sick, he won't want another kid.

My hand flew to my mouth and I quickly ran to the bathroom, flipping the toilet seat up and throwing up, very vigorously.

When I finished I sat with my back against the glass frame of the shower, Zayn standing in the doorway.

"Are you alright? Didn't you go to the doctors' yesterday? What did they say was wrong with you?" He asked these questions very fast.

"I'm fine, yes I went to the doctors yesterday and they told me that I have food poisoning," I lied to him. It seemed to work and he nodded his head.

"Do you need any help?" He asked me. I shook my head no and stood up, flushing the toilet and walked over o the sink.

"I'll be just fine, thanks though," I told him before I rinsed out my mouth. Zayn nodded his head and walked away, back into my bedroom.

I walked back into my bedroom and found Zayn sat on the bed while he held Evelyn upright, putting her feet on his thighs. He was doing something to make her gurgle, something she does when she's happy. I smiled at the sight of him playing with his daughter and imagined how he would play with our new baby on the way.

I sighed and went to the other side of the bed, getting under the covers.

"I'm going to try and get some sleep before the little stinker needs to be fed again," I told Zayn.

"Alright, get all the rest you need. I'll wake you if I need to." 

Zayn then did something I would never think he'd try to do in a long time, he kissed my cheek. I smiled slightly when I turned so my back was facing him.

I drifted off to sleep, thinking about Zayn.

"Florence, wake up please."

I fluttered my eyes open and saw Zayn leaning over my face.

"Evelyn needs to be fed," Zayn said to me, holding her out for me to grab her. I quickly sat up and took her from him. I pulled the comforter over her and my upper body before pulling down my shirt and having her latch on. Zayn sat down on the other side of the bed and started whistling, knowing that this is an awkward moment right now.

"Do you guys' have rehearsals today?" I asked him. He looked up at my face and nodded his head,

"Yeah, I'm pretty excited for this tour. It's so surreal to see where we are today, I sometimes can't wrap my head around it. Some things I take for granted though because of my egotistical, asshole self," He said, knowing that I would know exactly what he is talking about.

I sighed lightly and looked back over at Zayn, who was watching me intently.

"Look Zayn, I know that you're sorry, but I don't know if we can get back together so soon. I don't completely trust that you'll never do something like that again," I told him softly, emphasizing the 'that'.

"I know, I just wanted to let you know that I really am sorry. I know I've said this all before, but I honestly mean it," He told me with sorrow in his voice.

"All of the sorrys' in the world cannot take away what you did. What's done is done."

"I understand," He said, collapsing onto his back on the mattress.

I switched Evelyn to the other side and remembered I have to take my meds for breastfeeding.

"Zayn, my purse is over in the corner," I said to him pointing to one of the corners of the room, "Could you reach in and get out my pill carrier?" I asked him.

"Sure," He said standing up and walking over to my purse. I closed my eyes and leaned my head on the back of my pillow. 

I heard a soft gasp and Zayn spoke up.

"Why do you have ultrasound pictures in your purse?"
