Chapter 47 ~ First Word

Time flew by and before I knew it Jade was at work again. It was nice really, starting a whole new year with Jade. But not everything went to plan. 

My days are long and boring, the first two years of my career was great, but now it seemed like the same old thing. The students don't seem interested in being there as much as the previous years. 

But that wasn't the thing that annoyed me. The thing that annoyed me was Zayn. Zayn has been harrassing Jade ever since she left. He never seemed to let go of the fact she was over him. So when I walked into the nearly empty staffroom today my blood boiled. 

In the corner of the room Jade was pressed up to a wall with Zayn cornering her in, his hands were on her hips and he was leaning in awfully close. From where I stood, I could see the disgust in her features. She looked disgusted and a little afraid. So I took matters into my own hands.

"Ay, Malik" I called out, sounding like a seventeen year old boy yelling at another seventeen year old who was trying stuff with his girlfriend.

Zayn turned around at the mention of his name and smirked. "What do you want Tomlinson? What's Jade got you want?" I glared at him.

"I think you should leave her alone. She obviously doesn't want you there" I stated. Zayn looked back at Jade with a sly smile. 

"I don't think so. She hasn't been around in over a year, I want her back" he snarled and went to kiss her. 

I on the other hand walked over in quick steps, pulled him back by his shoulder and swung and hit him hardly. I heard a crunch of bone and I knew I broke his nose. He cursed loudly at me holding his nose as he faced me again.

"This has nothing to do with you, you litte faggot" he snarled behind his hand that held his bloddy nose.

Just like a movie, a teacher, more so my boss, came into the room and looked at the scene upon him, and just like highschool students we were called to talk about the incident in his office.

We fought like we were still in highschool too. Jade stayed out of it, she stayed put to the side of the room looking at the ground. 

"Zayn, Louis, what's going on?" he asked us curiously. 

I went on to explain all the hassles Zayn had caused Jade, and when Zayn scoffed and our boss asked Jade if it was true, she just gave a small nod of approval. 

Turns out that Zayn got fired from his job, and Jade and I went to the police station and got a restraining order on him. So now, we can call up if he harasses her anymore.

When we finally returned home I greeted Harry with a soft kiss and Jade went straight to the kids. 

Lexi was already a few months old and was still asleep for her nap, Mikayla on the other hand was playing with her toys. She hadn't started to walk yet, she was grabbing on to things and standing up but she was yet to walk. She also still yet had to say her first word

I was always scared I was going to miss these things because of work and Harry would be the first to hear it, but it was still a magical thing to hear your child speak for the first time.

"You two are home late" Harry noted in a tone that was asking where I was without actually asking.

"Yeah, we had some trouble at work with Zayn then we went down to the police station" Harry looked at me curiously and picked up Mikayla who instantly reached out for me.

I took her from Harry and smiled at her. "What happened?" 

"We got a restraining order on Zayn for harassment on Jade" I informed him kissing Mikayla on the head. 

" 'Bout time" Harry muttered. I just nodded and hummed in agreement. 

"Mummy" Mikayla called. 

Harry and I looked at each other. "Jade!" we called. She came running into the room, panting from the short distance sprint she just endured.

"What?" she asked panicked. "What happened?"

"Nothing" I told her. "Mikayla, she-she spoke" Jade covered her mouth out of shock. 

"Mikayla, say 'mummy'" Harry cooed.

Mikayla looked up at Jade and smiled widely at her mum. "Mummy" she squealed.

"Oh my goodness" Jade took her daughter from my arms and held her to herself. "Mummy's girl" 

It was magical, the moment when you hear your daughter speak for the first time. We've been saying mummy and daddy a lot to her, hoping she'd say one of those words first rather then any other word. 

But it's beautiful, it just means we're going to have to be a lot careful from now on when we talk.

"God it's so hard to have silent sex" Harry groaned as he rolled off me. 

"It is" Harry turned on his side and faced me. 

"Thanks for waiting up for me" I turned to meet him and caught his smile. 

"It's fine" I wriggled closer and wrapped my arms around him. "I love you"

"Not as much as me" Harry kissed my nose and played with my fingers, finding the one that held the ring.  "Want to go again? Or do you want some sleep?" 

"I would love to go again, but I need sleep, I have work in the morning and you're watching the girls"  Harry smiled widely. 

"Mm, yes. They'll be up at six" he sighed. "I love them, I do, but I need my sleep" I lightly chuckled. 

"I know, but you'll be fine. You can nap when Jade and I get home" Harry nodded and moved in closer to me, he pecked my lips then nuzzled into my neck. 

"Night Lou" 

We both fell asleep in each others arms, waking up when Lexi started crying, which made Mikayla cry. Harry and I groaned, but from outside our room we heard Jade call out saying she had it. 

Harry smiled and wriggled around, moving in closer to me, kissing my bare chest. I chuckled and ran a hand through his hair. 

"Morning" I smiled fondly at him. 

"Morning" he said, almost too chirpy or the hour of the morning. "Stay with me today. Don't go" 

"Baby, I have to, I can't call in sick. I'll just have as much paper work to fill out anyway" he whined and I could tell he rolled his eyes. 

"I feel as if you're never here" I pulled his face up to meet mine.

"I'm here, okay. And, it's not that long of a day, you have the girls here too" 

"But I want you" he almost cried. That got me worried. 

"Is something wrong Harry? Are you sick?" he shook his head. 

"No, Just... Just missing you"
