{Louis' POV}

As I'm walking towards the couch at Zayn and Perrie's Liam storms into the house, anger obviously filled throughout his body. Indie is trailing behind.

I then realise Liam is glaring at me. Oh f**k what have I done? 

"LOUIS!" Liam roars and walks over to me, grabbing the collar of my t- shirt and pushing me into the wall. What is with us and pushing people into this exact wall?"

"Hey Liam!" I smile. All the others are in the room, watching in shock. Well are you going to help me? "May I ask what I've done?" I ask Liam, kind of confused why I'm pinned to the navy blue wall. 

"I trusted you Louis! How dare you break my trust?" Liam yells. I think he's talking about the whole money situation. I give Zayn a look and he nods, walking over.

"Li, do you just want to pu-"

"HE STOLE FROM ME ZAYN!" Liam yells. "This little asshole stole £300' 000 from me!" Liam says with rage, kind of spitting on my face too. 

"I KNOW! I GAVE HIM THE PASSWORD!" Zayn roars back at Liam, making the whole room go silent. Most jaws drop further than they aready were. Big shock guys! 1. Liam comes thundering in and pins me to a wall 2. I stole his money 3. Zayn knows Liam's bank account password.

"You know my password?" Liam asks Zayn, his nostrils flaring. Zayn nods his head slowly in response. "You two stole from me!" Liam exclaims. 

"No we didn't!" Zayn and I yell at the same time.

"Yes you did!" Perrie yells back. "Using someone else's password," she glares at Zayn. "And then taking £300' 000 is considered stealing!" She adds. "Why did you two need that money anyway?" Perrie asks, confused as the rest of the people in the room.

"We can't tell you Liam." Eleanor pipes up. Now Eleanor's just got herself involved in this. Liam gives her a confused look and shakes his head. 

"Why can't you tell me?" Liam asks us. I would love to tell him but it's not for Zayn, Eleanor or I to tell Liam. 

"Believe us, we don't have the money. Zayn did nothing wrong, he just helped me get into your bank account and Eleanor just knows because she was the first one told," I tell Liam. "And I got the money transactioned into the account becaus of a certain reason that we cannot tell you."

"You kind of have to Louis!" Jade tells me. "Otherwise it's still considered stealing and although we trust you, Liam has no flipping clue where his money has gone." Jade reminds us.

I sigh and nod my head. Zayn and Eleanor shrug and Liam stands with his arms crossed, waiting for an answer.

"Do you have to look so angry?" I ask Liam. He just gives me a 'seriously' look. "And so over empowering?" I add. "And so me-"

"Just tell me Louis!" Liam yells. "Just tell me what you did with-"

"ZURI IS YOUR BABY! WE TRANSFERRED THE MONEY INTO AN ACCOUNT FOR ZURI BECAUSE SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER AND ZURI HAS TO ACTUALLY LIVE!" Zayn yells and after that, the whole room is so silent you could hear a pin drop. Well done Zayn- NOT. Could've done that differently mate.

I give Zayn a look and he just shrugs.

"Pa- pa- pardon?" Liam stutters. Eleanor walks over to Liam and sits him down on a dining room chair and then squats in front of him.

"Liam, nine months before Zuri you and Dani had a reconnectional fling," Eleanor says and Niall laughs a little at how that sounded. "It's pretty obvious she is your baby, she has your eyes and your smile, plus, Dani hadn't slept with anyone else since your orignal break- up," Eleanor continues, waiting for Liam to take in every word before she continues.

"I found out when I helped Dani take Zuri home from the hospital," Eleanor tells Liam. "Louis found out when we were over there in September last year," Eleanor says. I've known for a year now! Woah! "And then Louis and I kind of came up with the idea that we'd transfer some money for Zuri, knowing that if you knew that's what you would've done." Eleanor says. Liam nods approvingly. "As for Zayn, Louis went to him because he knows your bank account password-"

"How?" Liam asks.

"I know all of you lads passwords." Zayn smirks. That cheeky bugger! We all decide we're going to change them but I doubt that will actually happen.

"Zayn wasn't just going to give Louis the password for no reason so we told him. Now, everyone knows thanks to hyperactive who can't keep his mouth shut." Eleanor looks at Zayn and he laughs nervously. 

I stand by and watch Liam processing things. I look at all the others in the room. Shock is mostly the expressions, especially Indie. Poor Indie! She's just got back with Liam only to find out he has a baby. 

"Thanks guys," Liam smiles at Eleanor, Zayn and I. "It really means a lot that you were helping and it's now nice to know, but why didn't you tell me sooner?" Liam quizzes.

"We couldn't Li. Dani didn't want you to know." Eleanor replies. Liam looks a little hurt now. My time to step in.

"Li," I bend down in front of him, next to Eleanor and grip her hand tightly. "Dani didn't want you to get hurt if you found out. You were with Indie at the time and she didn't want to ruin that, she wanted you to be happy with Indie." I explain and then look at Indie who smiles a little.

"Was she ever going to tell me?" Liam asks. Eleanor and I both nod our heads.

"Yeah! I think the intention was to tell you some time at the end of this year because you weren't in a relationship, but now we've kind of ruined that plan and Indie's back so, um." I mumble, shrugging a little. 

"Right," Liam nods and stands up. There's a knock at the door and Zayn goes to get it. When he returns Dani and Zuri are here. Shit! I forgot they were coming for dinner as well. 

"Dani and Zuri are here!" Zayn smiles, standing next to Dani. Well no shit Zayn. 

{Liam's POV}

I look at Zuri standing next to Dani. She definatley has my eyes and my smile but she has Dani's nose, straight hair in Dani's colour and little chubby cheeks, as for her skin colour, it's like Dani's has been washed out with mine. 

I look at her standing there looking around, holding a white bunny with floral lined ears in her right hand and Dani's hand in her left one. Louis bought her that bunny I'm pretty sure.

I stand up and walk over so I'm about three metres away from them. I think Dani's gathered I know because she looks down. 

"She's mine?" I ask Dani, still trying to completely process that I have a fifteen month old daughter. Dani nods and looks down at Zuri who is looking at me.

"Zayn told him!" Louis chirps from behind me. Dani whacks Zayn in the chest and he gives Dani a look. 

"Actually, Louis- let's not go into that." Zayn replies. We all agree and I walk over to Zuri, bending down in front of my daughter. I don't need a DNA test, she's perfect to me and it's obvious she is my daughter.

"Hey Zuri," I rub her little head. She let's go of Dani's hand and opens her arms out to me. I pull her into my arms and hold her close. It's no longer just holding Danielle's daughter Zuri, it's holding my daughter Zuri. 

But she's mine and Danielle's. Things just got a whole lot more complicated. I look across at Dani talking to Indie. Which one is it that I truly love? Danielle who I've loved for years or Indie?
