Acceptance (Ziam) Baby!Niall

Third Person's POV

"I said no Liam! Why can't you just go with it?!" Zayn exclaimed, already exasperated by their everyday argument.

"Relationships are about compromising, and this is something that I won't give up, like I do with everything else!" Liam was never one for shouting, but he was willing to scream his lungs out if that would make Zayn grant his wish.

"Excuse me? What do you mean by 'like I do with everything else'? Are you saying that I don't sacrifice anything for our relationship? Are you fucking serious right now?!" Zayn roared; the neighbors definitely heard that one.

"Well, judging by what's going on right now, no, you don't." Liam retorted.

"I just think that it's way too early for us to adopt a baby, I'm not against the idea, just the timing." Zayn said, voice lower than before.

"Too early, Zayn we've been together for eight years now, early my ass." Liam snapped, he wasn't backing down from this.

"I still don't think we should adopt now." Zayn sighed.

"Well, I want to adopt now." Liam stressed.

"No."

"No?" Liam squawked. "Why are you so... so selfish?! I... I fucking hate you Zayn Malik!" And yeah, when Liam was pissed he had no mouth filter.

"Oh." Came Zayn's simple reply.

"Z-Zayn I-I didn't mean that. I'm s-." Liam stopped mid-apology as Zayn silenced him by raising his hand in a balking manner.

"N-no it's... it's okay, I'll just leave now." Zayn's voice cracked at the end managing to break Liam's heart at how wounded Zayn was because of his stupidity.

"Zayn...I..." Zayn quickly turned around and fled the house. Liam collapsed on the couch and breathed out heavily in annoyance and guilt. Annoyance directed to himself and guilt towards what he just said to Zayn. Knowing him, he'll just take a walk, allow himself to calm down, then he'd come back and they'd somehow automatically make up.

Zayn kicked a few stray pebbles as he thought about what happened one hour ago between him and Liam. He knew his boyfriend hadn't meant to say that, but it couldn't help but break his heart and shatter his feelings.

As he walked by an abandoned house that looked like it has suffered enough and now it lay above the firm ground casting a gloomy aura around it, he heard a...a whimper? Zayn stopped his movements and turned on his heels towards the direction where the noise came from, careful not to make his presence known to the stranger.

To his surprise, the sight before him was absolutely heart wrenching. There, amidst the ruins, lay a tiny body shivering from the cold air nipping at it's skin. Zayn peeked at little closer so that he could get a closer look at the little- apparently boy. He was curled up in on himself, but all Zayn could see was blond hair and pale skin covered in torn and tattered clothes, also the boy was barefooted. He couldn't be older than four, and he was so skinny, it looked like he hasn't been fed the entire years of his existence.

Zayn slowly approached him, not wanting to frighten the little boy. Once he was at a touching distance, he ever so slowly touched the boy's hand causing him to freeze momentarily then, to Zayn's horror, he started sobbing.

"Don't hurt Niall!" He squealed, and Zayn would've cooed if the abject boy wasn't crying.

"I'm not going to hurt you sweetheart, can you please look at me?" Zayn asked Niall -as he just learned- making sure his voice was extra soft.
