"Because you are."

"Does this look like a joke to you Zayn?" Harry choked out at Zayn's confession putting the child to stand on her own two feet.

"Sweety can you go play a bit, I promise dada and I will be right here when you're done."

"Are you going to leave?" She looks up at Harry.

"No, gumdrop I promise I'll be right here." He assures her and she smiled before running off.

"You have some nerve." Zayn immediately turns to Harry pointing an accusing finger at him the minute halo was out of earshot.

"I've got a nerve? Because it's so normal when a random two-year-old runs up to a stranger and claims him as her father and then you just so happen to find out that that's your ex-fiancé's child and she really is your daughter?" Harry stressed not realizing he has used the words ' ex-fiancé' or how Zayn's heart cracked more over the phrase.

But Zayn wasn't going to let Harry see how weak he had him. And so he snapped.

"YOU LEFT ME REMEMBER, SO DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT BLAMING ME FOR THE FACT YOU DIDNT KNOW ABOUT HER THAT'S ALL ON YOU. WE WERE TOGETHER SINCE WE WERE ELEVEN, WE WERE SUPPOSE TO GET MARRIED AND YOU WALKED OUT ON ME A WEEK BEFORE OUR WEDDING FOR SOME RECORD DEAL!" Zayn shouts completely forgetting they were in a public park. But he couldn't help it as tears began to cascade from his eyes.

Harry stood there and watched with regret as zayn broke down in front of him. It was weird a few minutes ago zayn was smiling and now he was a complete mess in front of him. Harry had no idea this is what zayn was going through. But listened to him as he continued.

"For so long I was happy, only to have my happiness ripped from under me. I had to move back in with my parents with an unexpected baby on the way. Without a clue of how I was going to raise her. I had to inherit my father's business I wanted nothing to do with. For three years I have shut everyone out in fair of getting hurt. I couldn't love nor could I move on because of you." Zayn pointed another accusing finger at Harry.

"A month ago I decided to not let you hold me back anymore and go out with this amazing guy that has been trying for so long and I have been so happy. For the first time in years, I have been happy. And I have slept at peace for a whole month. And you just had to come and ruin it and no matter how much you ruin my life and how much you take I can't stop loving you!" Zayn started to close in on himself his heart started to thump like it wanted to escape his chest.

He opened his mouth gasping for air but it wasn't working.

Great just what he needed something else that hasn't affected him for a month. An anxiety attack. Just what he needed at this very moment.

"Zayn?" Harry reached out to him.

Harry hasn't seen this in years. He didn't like it then and he still doesn't like it now. Thankfully he knew what to do. And just as zayn was about to descend Harry caught him.

Harry was all too familiar with Zayn's state right now. He quickly put the man in a fetal position and pulled him onto his lap. He got in their usual position he would use years ago when zayn got like this. He pressed their forehead together and positions zayn's head so their eyes were on the same level.

"Breath." Harry coached zayn through his sharp erratic heart-clenching breaths.

And slowly Zayn's breathing began to go back to normal.

And for the first time in six years, zayn's attack was calmed down ever so easily. And why wouldn't it? He was in his safe place again after so long.

Harry's seas of green.
