A Bump on the Roller Coaster that is Life(Zayn Malik Fanfic)[Watty Awards 2012]

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

 **Melody POV**

 I'm so nervous.

 I help any way that I can to get this dinner ready. Tonight is the night we tell everyone that I'm becoming Melody Malik. And I guess that Zayn will be adopting Tori. Victoria Malik. Even his parents are coming from Bradford. I'm so nervous; this will be my first time meeting his parents! What of they don't like me?

 The table is set and ready. Tori is dressed in the yellow sun dress Harry got her long ago with a white sweater, and flats with a yellow bow in it.

 She smiles and grips my hand. "Don't be nervous Mommy. Everyone loves you." She smiles. "Daddy does."

 I smile too. "Yes he does."

 I feel arms go around my shoulders and someone kissing my temple. I look up to see Zayn smiling at me. "Yes I do love mommy Tori. Look, see." Zayn picks up my hand and shows her.

 She screams and jumps in joy. "Mommy! I can finally have a daddy take me to the baseball park!" She tells climbing in my lap.

 I kiss her forehead. "Yes it does."

 "But you can't tell anyone."Zayn says lifting her off my lap and looking serious at her.

 She smiles. "My lips are sealed!"

 Just then the doorbell rings I slip off the wedding ring and put it in my pocket for no one to see.We open the door to see a mop of curly hair with green orbs and dimples staring out us.

"Hello Mel Bear!" Harry yells running toward me and hugging me.

I laugh and hug Harry tightly. "Hello Harry."

 The rest of the boys make an over dramatic hello saying they haven't seen me in so long. (even if I haven't seen them since yesterday)

 We were all laughing in the dinner room waiting for Zayn's parents to show up for dinner along with my father. I decided not to invite my mother since I still have things to talk about with her.

 The doorbell rings and Tori rushes to the door to answer.

"GRANDPA!" She yells as I see her jump into my father’s arms. They had become close while I was in the hospital. It's what I always wanted; my daughter to have a grandfather.

 Dad picks up Tori and kisses her face. "I missed you sweetie." she giggles.

"GRANDPA!" Louis yells hugging my dad. My dad and Louis have this weird connection. Dad says he was exactly like Louis when he was younger; knowing my dad I just can't imagine it.

"SON!" Dad yells dramatically hugging him. They fake cry for a minute till they both broke into fits of laughter.

 I roll my eyes. "You guys are so weird."

 My dad’s head snaps up to me. He looks at my wheel chair with tears forming in his eyes.

"No, daddy, don't cry please." I say as my voice cracks. I wheel over to him and reach up and hug him. He hugs me tight. I can't believe my father would fly all the way here to London from New York for a dinner.

 I love him so much.

"It's just, so hard to imagine to lose you." he sobs breaking my heart.

 "Daddy I'm fine. I just want to move past this." I say as I feel tears in my eyes.

 He backs away and smiles at me. "I know but your my baby girl and it was so scary to get that phone call."

 I wipe his tears. "I know daddy. Let's move forward and have a new life. It was just a bump on the roller coaster that is life." I say smiling and quoting Zayn.

 The bell rings again. This time Zayn opens the door to reveal his parents.

 I take a deep breath and squeeze my dad's hand before wheeling over to them.

 I smile widely at them and hold out my hand. "Hello! I'm Melody Price. It's nice-"

 I was cut off by a bone crushing hug from his mother, Tricia. I hug her back hesitantly.

 "Melody I've heard so much about you!" She gushed. "Zayn wouldn't shut about you." she turns to Zayn. "You're right she is extremely beautiful!"

 I look over at Zayn to see him blush a deep red as the rest of the boys snicker behind him.

 "Mum!" He says embarrassed. His cheeks still red making him look so cute.

 She pinches his cheek. "Is my baby blushing?"

 After that whole embarrassing (or I rather use the word cute) situation we sit down for dinner. Everything was great! Everyone smiling and laughing. These kinds of moments I want to take a picture of a tuck safely into a scrap book. Kodak moment.

 Haha did you see what I did there?

 Tori shakes my arm pulling me out of my lame joke thoughts. She gives me pleading eyes as if say, 'TELL THEM NOW!'

 I nod and smile and slide on the ring. I cough. "Everyone Zayn and I have something to share."

 Zayn looks over at me and smiles. "Yes we're-"

 "GETTING MARRIED!" Tori screams holding up my hand to show everyone. Everyone starts to smile and cheer. Tricia starts to cry.

"My baby is growing up!" Zayn hugs his mom.

I look at my father to see him tearing up too. "I knew the whole time." He says softly looking at me.

"What?" I say titling my head in confusion.

My father smiles smugly. "He asked permission first."

I couldn't help the smile that appears on my face. Zayn is such a gentlemen.

"I can't believe your taking Mel Bear away from us!" Harry yells over dramatically hugging me.

"NO MEL BEAR!" Louis yells fake crying in my shoulder.

 The rest of the boys hug me tightly. I hug them in happiness.

 Nothing can ruin this moment.

 I look at over at Zayn who was still hugging his mother, tears in his eyes too. He meets my gaze and smiles.

 For once, I'm looking forward to the unknown.
