Zayn's Pov:
I closed my bedroom door and sighed deeply. Louis and I have a long way to go if we want to repair our friendship. I half knew he'd react the way he did. Louis always been protective of Niall. Especially when they lost there parents, Louis and Liam became Niall's parents. They protected him from harm and loved him with everything they had, But they aren't the only ones who's aloud to do that. Slowly I walked down the stairs and found Liam sitting on the couch tapping away on his mobile. When he heard me enter the room the lifted his head and smiled weakly.
"He asleep?" He asked, I nodded my head.
"Yeah. Said I'd wake him in a few hours" I replied.
"We'll have to get in contact with the doctors, Make him an appointment for an ultrasound" He said, I nodded in agreement.
"What're you doing?" I questioned before sitting down.
"Looking up some stuff online. Costs of prams, Cots, Nappies, Wipes, Bottles everything like that" Liam said.
"I'll get all of it"
"And where's the baby gonna sleep when it gets here?" Liam asked.
"I'm hoping in my room with me. I want them both in with me, That way I can keep an eye on them, But ultimately it's up to Niall. Whatever he wants to do we'll do" I replied, Liam smiled.
"You really care about him don't you?" He questioned.
"Yeah" I mumbled. "But I can't ever act on my feelings. I couldn't bring that sort of danger to him" I looked up at Liam. "I'd never hurt him or the baby and I'd never let anybody touch them, You know that right?" I asked, Liam nodded his head.
"I know you wouldn't. You'd lay your life on the line for anybody you loved, But you need to stop being afraid to fall inlove Zayn. I know you don't wanna get attached to anybody incase you lose them, But sometimes you have to take a risk" I sighed. "Don't underestimate the power of love Zayn, It's the strongest thing in this world" Liam explained, Another sigh slipped from my lips as Louis entered the room.
"Can we talk?" He asked, I nodded my head.
"Yeah".
Louis and I walked out into the back garden closing the door behind us. I sat down in one of the garden chairs waiting for Louis to speak. I didn't want another argument with him. I didn't even want him to wrap his arms around me and tell me he forgives me. All I want him to do is be civil with me, Not for my sake, But for Niall's. He dosen't need the added stress, It's not good for him or the baby.
"Why'd you do it?" Louis asked. "He's my brother Zayn why'd you do it?"
"I can't give you a straight answer for that. We just grew close I suppose. I found it so easy to open up to him about things, And he was the same with me. I didn't set out to sleep with him Louis, I didn't even plan it, It just happened. All I wanna do is protect him, That night when he was in my arms he was so vulnerable and fragile. When I was holding him it felt like I was protecting him from everything. I was the wall stopping all the pain crashing into his body" Louis sighed. "I'd never hurt him Louis, You know that, You know me. I could never do anything to hurt him, I care about him Lou, I really do" I exclaimed.
"I know you do alright, But he's my baby brother Zayn. I know you wouldn't hurt him but what if somebody else does?" Louis questioned.
"I won't let anyone touch them. I'd take a bullet before I let anyone touch them. I know you care about him and you love him, But so do I. He's carrying my child Lou" Louis looked at me. "I'd never hurt Niall I swear" I stated, Louis looked down.
"I know you wouldn't" He mumbled. "Liam and I have always looked after Niall. When dad got involved with the gang we would take him to play football, I'd give him a piggyback ride home whenever he fell over the ball. After school I'd pick him up and he'd tell me about the people that bullied him, I'd always be the one to go and give them a warning to back off. When our mum got ill, Niall would have these nightmares. He'd be screaming at the top of his lungs, I'd end up having to sleep in his bed with him, Sometimes he'd come running in my room begging me not to let the bad guys hurt him" Louis explained, I sat down beside him as tears filled his eyes. "I know he's grown up now. More grown up then me" Louis chuckled. "But everytime I look at him he's still that little Niall that needed me" I placed my hand on Louis shoulder.
"He'll always need you. They'll never be a time where he dosen't. He's grown up but he's still your Niall. He dosen't need you to chase away the bad dreams anymore, But that dosen't mean that he still dosen't need you for other things. You'll always be the one who protects him, It's just now you have someone else by your side that cares for him just as much as you do" I replied, Louis looked up at me. He took my words in for a few moments before speaking.
"Don't hurt my brother Zayn" Louis stated.
"I wouldn't" I exclaimed, Louis smiled slightly before pulling me into a hug.
"Come on. Food should be here by now" Louis stated when we pulled away, He held out his hand for me and pulled me to my feet, We then walked back into the house.
"Everything alright?" Liam asked when we entered the kitchen, He had just finished dishing up the plates of food.
"All good" Louis replied, Liam smiled brightly at us.
"I made Niall a appointment for friday" Liam informed us, I nodded my head.
"I'll get the lads to cover us all that day so we can all go" I said, I then stood up and took hold of Niall's plate, I then grabbed mine. "I'm gonna eat with Niall" I informed them, Louis and Liam nodded, I then walked out the kitchen with the plates of food. Using my elbow I managed to get my bedroom door open, Once inside I closed it as quietly as I could with my foot. I couldn't help but smile as I approached the bed and found Niall sleeping peacefully. Slowly I placed the food on my sidetable and crouched down beside him. "Niall, Niall wake up" I whispered softly, Niall's eyes cracked open. "Got some dinner for you" I informed him, Niall groaned softly and raised his head from the pillow. When Niall had sat up I placed the plate of food on his lap.
"Is Louis ok?" Niall asked.
"Yeah. We talked everything through. Things are cool now" I replied, Niall smiled slightly. We ate in silence exchanging small smiles every now and then. When I'd finished eating I placed my plate on the sidetable. I watched on as Niall shifted around on my bed. He finished up his food minutes later and placed his plate ontop of mine.
"Zayn?"
"Yeah?" I replied.
"Can I em" Niall signalled between us. "You know" I chuckled, I knew exactly what Niall meant. I opened my arms and Niall crawled straight into them, He laid his head on my chest and I wrapped my arms around him. Nothing hurts more then loving someone you can never be with.
