Liam was allowed to head home after two days of having to stay in the hospital for further tests. Everyone had helped organize a welcome home party for him, which was nice, but it seemed like the brunet wasn't really all that happy. Don't get it wrong, it was nice seeing everyone again, but finding out that he had some type of amnesia and that his father as well as grandfather passed away wasn't really the best news he had gotten all in one day.

It was his second day back at the penthouse. Liam has taken his time off work to spend with Zayn, Kennette and Kai. They watched movies, cooked, played games all until the two kids were ready to have a afternoon nap. The couple got them ready and laid them down in their beds. Once they were done, Zayn and Liam cuddled up on the couch and watched some television.

Liam had his arm wrapped around zayn's shoulders while he was laying on top of him, his arms wrapped around his waist. Their eyes were both glued to the flat screen tv, but the brunet couldn't help but wonder what happened in the past five years. He was curious to know.

"Hey, babe?" He asked, turning his head to look at zayn. He received a hum in response. "What- what happened in the past five years?" Liam watched as the younger lads head popped up, their eyes meeting.

Zayn bit his lip. "Do you really want to know?"

"Yeah." Liam nodded his head. "I do. I want to know everything." He watched Zayn suddenly climb off of him and sit up straight, deciding to do the same. He grabbed the remote and turned the tv off, turning his attention back to his boyfriend.

"I honestly don't know where to start..." Zayn admitted, rubbing at his thighs.

"It's okay. Taken your time." Liam told him with a soft voice. "I can wait."

The dark haired bloke smiled a little at that before releasing a sigh. He inhaled a deep breath. "Well, when we were in high school, we had- um... we had a huge fight..." he started, glancing at Liam. "The fight caused me a lot of stress which resulting with me losing our- our baby..."

"You were pregnant?" Liam was a little surprised.

"Yes... I was. I didn't know until I was escorted to the doctors by our teacher during our trip to New York." He admitted and sighed. "I was scared to tell..." he looked down at his fingers and cuddled with them, his eyes watering a little.

"I'm sorry zee..."

"It's okay." He chuckled softly and wiped his eyes. "I'm passed all of that, as you can tell." Zayn grabbed Liam's hands and caressed the back of it. "Anyways, before our fight happened, your grandfather's record store burned down because of Andy. I was one of the suspects and you ended up blaming me because my ID was found in the fire, but things cleared up pretty fast. But after our fight, you and I fell apart. I ended up moving to New York with my family due to my father and we never saw each other again until last year. When we met, you were my professor at college. You were with Vincent and I was with Evan while being pregnant with Kennette. I don't remember how it started, but you and I started having an affair and things kind of took a messy turn. I guess that's why Vincent wanted to kill you – or at least hurt you... he was angry with us, with you." Zayn explained, noticing that Liam's face had dropped a little when he mentioned the incident.

"But he's locked up now. Evan found someone new and forgave us and we're happy." He added, placing a hand on the brunet's cheek, a soft smile on his lips. "We went through a lot of shit... and people would call us toxic. But I love you Liam and that's never going to change."

Liam couldn't help but feel guilty. It seemed like he caused Zayn and everyone around them a lot of pain. "I'm sorry." He said once again, avoiding eye contact. "I sound like a complete fucking asshole." He shook his head, rubbing at his face a little.

"Hey, baby, it's okay." Zayn assures him. "Really. Look where we are right now. We have a beautiful small family, we're both stepdads." He chuckled. "We have our life in check. You're doing fine. We're fine." He smiled up at him. "We've been through so much and managed to break through every wall there was. I'm happy the way we are right now and it's going to stay like that. Okay?"

Liam nodded his head once again and exhaled deeply. "I'm still sorry I put you through this mess." He told him genuinely, looking him in the eye.

Zayn just gave him a smile before leaning in and sealing their lips in a sweet kiss, caressing his cheek some more. They ended up cuddling once again, but kept the tv off this time. They enjoyed each other's company, laying there in a comfortable silence and holding onto each other as if their lives depended on it.
