The Red Shoes ~ Zerrie au

Chapter 18: Have you seen this?

Zayn's POV

Perrie's mum is running late and she called to say that. So i'm just waiting next to an unconscious Perrie. My family won't be back until later so I have some time to kill. It's better to tell someone how you feel in a cheesy way if they are unconscious.

"Perrie I need you to wake up because without you I’m half a heart. One day I would like you to my bride in a beautiful dress, walking down the isle. We’ll say ‘I do’ then we can have marriage more beautiful then our wedding. I know we are only 18- 19 years old but that is how much I love you. I hope that you love me back as much as I love you because I would like you to be the mother of my children in the future. Your the only one that I want to fall deeply and madly in love with. Every morning I want to be the only one that wakes you with a kiss. As long as we’re together. You're my forever. I just need you to wake up. Please." I whisper near her ear. I feel like I'm reciting a poem. 

It seems like I have been waiting forever for her to wake up but all in an instant, my world brightens. Her fingers move in mine and I look up to her face. Her eyes open and see blinks a few times. I can finally see her beautiful blue eyes again.

"Hi." She says and smiles weakly. I stand and kiss her forehead.

"Welcome back to the land of the living." I smile. She weakly smiles at me then looks around the room. "You know who I am, right?" I ask her, just to be sure.

"Yeah, Zayn. I know who you are." She laughs.

"You didn't hear my little speech before, did you?" I ask.

"The one about weddings and children? I'll say no just to make you feel better." She smirks. Oh, shit. Never trust unconscious people.

"Well that is awkward." I rock on the balls of my feet with my hand in my pockets and looking around the room.

"No, it was cute. You're my forever as well." She says grabbing one of my hand from my pocket and pulling me closer. I pull my other hand from my pocket and cup her face in them.

"I'm sorry." I whisper.

"For what?" She looks up at me confused.

"For putting you in hospital." I tell her.

"I'm not eniterly sure what happened but I'm sure it is fine." She obviously dosen't remember the creek, or the jumping and how her foot get stuck in the weeds.

"You have swelling in the front part of your brain, so you might not remember what happened." I tell her. She gives me a puzzled look and I just sigh to my self then lean closer so our lips touch. It's only quick peck but it is enough to put a smile on both of our faces. When I stand up straight, Chantel walks in.

"Oh, your awake. How are you feeling?" She asks Perrie.

"My head hurts a little but I'm ok." Perrie smiles back.

"I'm Chantel. I will be looking after you whilst you're here." She says. "Has anyone told you what is happening?" She asks.

"Zayn told me that I have swelling in the front part of my brain." She says to Chantel.

"Yes, so that is what will be making you're head hurt but I will get something for that. We will give it to you through the drip." She explains.

"Thank you." Perrie smiles weakly and I can tell that she wants to sleep. Chantel leaves the room and Perrie is out like a light. When Chantel walks back in, I am sitting in the chair. She quietly connects a bag of clear liquid to Perrie drip then exits quietly. 20 minutes pass and Perrie is still fast asleep. Debbie, Perrie's mum shows up and I let her have the seat I was in.

"How is eveything?" She asks.

"Perrie woke up earlier. She doesn't remember what happened but the nurse said she will be fine." I explain.

"When did she fall asleep again?" Debbie asks. I sit on the end of Perrie's bed just watching her.

"About 20 minutes ago." I say. 

"Zayn? I think you might wan these." Chantel walks in and hands me a bag, Inside is Perrie's bikini. Chantel leaves again and Debbie looks at me.

"What is it?" She asks.

"Perrie's bikini. She was wearing when she was rushed in here." I tell her.

"Is that why you are in board shorts?" She asks. I just nod and place the bag on the floor. After about half an hour, Debbie gets up to leave and I sit back in the chair next to Perrie's bed. My parents called and said they weren't coming back in but that Debbie was welcome to stay there so she didn't have to drive back. So that is where she is staying.

"Zayn, have you seen Perrie's chart?" Debbie asks holding up the clipboard the the end of Perrie's bed that says what is going on with the patient.

"No." I shake my head.

"Because on here it says that she is pregnant. Is there something you want to tell me?" She asks. Pregnant? I didn't even know about this.

"Wait! She is pregnant? But I didn't even know she was. I don't even think that Perrie knew, because otherwise she would have told me." I explain to Debbie.

"So you didn't know?" She asks.

"No, i didn't." I confirm. This means I'm going to be a father. I'm having a baby. With Perrie. I know I said I wanted that but not for another couple of years. Our careers are just starting. Perrie can't be a ballerina with a baby bump.

"Well, call me when she wakes up. I'll see you in the morning." She hooks Perrie's chart back up before leaving. Chantel walks back in and I seize the moment.

"On Perrie's chart is says she is pregnant. Do you know how far along?" I ask her.

"5-6 weeks. Why?" Chantel asks.

"I didn't know. I don't even think that Perrie knew." I explain.

"Oh, um well would you like us to do an ultrasound when she wakes up?" She asks.

"I would like that but ask Perrie when she wakes." I say.

"Will do. Mr. Malik." She smiles and leaves the room. I could be a father is 7-8 months. Holy shit! I don't think Perrie knew but if she did, she did a good job as hiding it. She had me convinced that eveything is fine. I guess that is what you can do when you aren't showing yet or having any signs.
