Zayn and Liam had searched all the possible places where Emma could be. The last place they looked was the park where Emma constantly asked to go, but no sign of Emma. Zayn cried like a baby on one of the park benches. Liam sat down beside him, he said nothing, only showed sympathy with a consoling silence which his brother appreciated.
Louis had run to the mansion as soon as he heard about Emma's disappearance. He had already called Liam ten times in the last 10 minutes, but Liam's answer was the same every time—“Nothing, Louis, Emma is nowhere."
Everybody in the mansion was worried. Louis, knowing Emma, was trying to think of a place where Emma would feel at home, but his mind couldn’t come up with anything.
Trisha believed that Louis' idea made no sense, because to her, the only place Emma would feel at home was her own house, the mansion.
But what they didn’t know was that, to Emma, home wasn’t about the place but the people in it. The most important thing to her was her family to be united again. What mattered to her was Zayn and Harry to be happy, together. Only then she could be happy.
Louis called again.
"We thought Emma might be here, but we were wrong." Liam sighed, looking around the park and then at his brother who was sitting with his hands on his face. There was a pause for a moment.
"Harry?" Louis sounded startled on the other end of the phone.
"Harry?" Liam asked both to himself and Louis at the same time. Eyes wide open, Zayn looked at Liam, not understanding why Harry's name came up in the conversation.
"I told you not to mention his name. Seriously, Liam? You’ve got to be kidding me right now." Zayn screamed angrily. Liam raised his hand gesturing him to stop speaking, Zayn obeyed. Liam got up from the seat and grinned widely at his brother.
"Let's go home. Emma is with Harry." Liam told Zayn, pulling him by the arm.
"Emma is with Harry?" Zayn asked, confused, as he ran back to the car.
"I didn’t understand it very well. The important thing is that she is fine and she is back home."
*****
Zayn's steps back to the mansion seemed to be in slow motion. The world seemed to be spinning slowly and he felt as if his body was in outer space. It had been more than a month since he had seen his daughter; Lindsay only let him talk to Emma on the phone. Knowing that his daughter was back home, with her flowery smell and her bright eyes, made his heart race. Zayn never imagined that he would love to be a father so much, but after 6 years with Emma in his life, he was sure that the word "love" was not enough to describe what he felt for his daughter…It was much more than that, he just couldn’t define it.
As if the emotion of seeing Emma after so long was not enough, he thought of Harry as he climbed the steps to the front door of his mansion.
