I Have A Kid? (Harry Styles Fan Fic)

Chapter 20: Family Torn Apart

BOOM! Yet another update. This is my fave story of mine so why not update it a lot for you guys while I am still here
~Cassie's POV~
When the door opens and I see his face everything i'm feeling just fades away. Liam just becomes irrelevent.
"Cass, what are you doing here" he asks. I know hes confused by all this back and forth.
"Just tell me one thing, just one thing. Do you love me?" I ask smiling at him. He looks down into my eyes searching for an explanation. He waits, like he is expecting me to do something but I just stand there staring in his eyes. He nods his head. "Say it Harry" I almost growl.
"I love you so much Cass" he says breathlessly and like that everything seems to be right. I don't hesitate and jump into his arms attaching my mouth to his. But he stops me. "Cassie, you're getting married to Liam" he says to me, but almost as if he is saying it to himself aswel. A smile grows on my face and he looks at me confused.
"No I'm not Harry" I say and my smile gets bigger. His mouth falls open as he stares at me waiting for me to tell him I'm kidding. "I love you so much Haz, you and me against the world" I say reattaching my lips to his. This time he doesn't stop me. We just stood there for a moment just kissing. I was his and everything was right.
"What happened?" he asks as he leads me to sit down on the couch beside him. I let it all out, I tell him how I went to see my mum which turned into a visit with Anne, and how she cleared my mind and I was coming back here to end it with Liam. But then I walked in on him screwing some girl named Danica, and he tells me he only wanted to marry me so that I could be Matthew's mum. About how he told me he didn't love me.
"But most of all, the scary and weird thing is. I wasn't that upset. Even though it was such a nasty way for it to end. It was ending and I was extatic to come here and see you and tell you that we may have been through it all, we've broken each others hearts countless times, and maybe we should have taken that as a sign. A sign that we shouldn't be together. But even though we hurt each other a lot. We make each other the happiest we are ever going to be. Because I need you like I need air. I don't know how to breath without you. It has taken me this long to realise that I wasn't living before, I wasn't breathing clear air and now that I am with you, I feel so at ease. Like I don't have to worry if it is going to work out, I don't have to worry whats going to happen because I have you here with me. I have you here to go through it with. So Harry, my proposal is, we go against the odds. We fight this battle of life together. Because I love you, and I will always love you". I finish with a deep breath. Scared to what Harry will say to this.
"You do not know how long I have wanted to hear those words come out of your mouth" He says with a sigh and his smile that I love so much is back on his face and I know I could stare at that smile for the rest of my life. "So I think we have a wedding to cancel" he says with a laugh and for the rest of the night we just talked, talked about our future, taked about everything and soon enough it was morning and I woke up in his arms. The way it should be. Then I remembered the kids. I gave Harry a kiss and grabbed my purse driving to Megans, which is wher I assumed they would be. I knocked on the door and heard the sound of little feet running around their flat. The door opens and there stands Darcy and soon behind her is Matthew and once I see him I run over and pick him up. He may be 6 but he's still my baby. I broke out crying, knowing he wont be my little boy soon. That killed me. Matthew was like my son, he was my son and now i'm losing him and it's going to be one of the hardest thing's i'll ever go through. His arms were wrapped around me so tight only causing me to cry more.
"Mummy why are you crying" he asks me. I pull my head up from his shoulder and see Megan leaning against the wall she has a frown on her face and I know she knows what this is about.
"Don't worry Matthew, everything is going to be okay, you here me baby. It's all going to be ok" I say one last time trying to convince myself aswell. I put him down and notice he is crying aswel, which nearly breaks me again.
"There is something really bad happening, isn't there" he says frowning at me. I shake my head and just keep shaking.
"Don't worry, nothing is going to happen" I say to him. Darcy runs over hugging me and it becomes a group hug and I realise how few of these I have left. This truly is going to wreck me. I let them grab there stuff and Megan comes over to me and pulls me into her arms.
"It's going to be okay Cass, it will" she tells me. I just try and nod my head. Not believing it one bit.
"What if I never see him again, I can't do that" I mutter.
"You will! Don't say that. What happened?" she asks. I look into her eyes and explain it all. When I look up again she has the look she always gets when she is pissed. It happened last time when Harry cheated and now it's happening again. But I know she wont do anything because in a weird twisted way it all works out in the end.
Once I get home Matthew and Darcy run to go find Liam. this is going to be a hard day. I go and put there stuff in their rooms and go and find where the kids are. Liam is still sleeping and they're jumping around him on the bed. I lean against the door frame and just take it all in. Part of me was so angry at Liam for what he did. But part of me was still inlove with him. I knew that. But that part was very small and it could not even compare to my love for Harry. Liam groans and wakes up it takes him a secound to realise what's going on and plays along with them, like we always do. He begins trying to catch them and pretend hes a monster growling and roaring as he trys causing them to laugh and scream with joy. If only they knew this may be one of the last times this happens. I couldn't help but smile as I see my family having so much fun together.
It doesn't take long before he looks up and sees me standing there. At first he smiles, like he is genuinly happy to see me. But then it clicks and the smile is replaced with a frown, to which point I'm sure i'm mirroring his reaction. The kids run out of the room to go play or whatever they do and I go sit beside him on the bed. You think I would be more appauled to think that he was in this bed with another women the night before but at this moment I didn't care. "I don't want this to end, we're the perfect family" he mutters. I look to the man who is lying beside me and see tears welling up in his eyes.
"Come here" I say and he moves over resting his head in my lap and I begin to play with his hair.
"I missed you last night, it felt like a part of me was missing. Like I didn't know what I was going to do. It all just sank in. I know I should have realised this so much sooner. But all I was saying last night is bullshit. I love you, I do so much" he says to me.
"You think you do Liam, but what you were saying last night is true, you are inlove with the idea of me, the idea of me being Matthew's mum. Which I wanted to do for so long, I still do. I cannot put into words the amount of pain I will feel when I walk out these doors for good with Darcy and leave you two behind. It will be the hardest thing in my life. I don't know how I will do it. But I will, and you will find a mum for Matthew, maybe it's Danica maybe it's not. I still want to see Matthew whenever I can but we are just not going to be together anymore Liam. You should have seen this coming" I say to him. To be honest, I felt a little bad for him. I mean he was cheating but he didn't know what he was doing. In a way I was cheating too I guess. I loved another man.
"I don't know if I can do it Cass, I don't think I can" he sighs. "I don't know how to live without you and Darcy. You guys are my whole life" he says. "I cant lose you"
"You already have Liam. How are we going to tell the kids" I say. I couldn't go back to him now. Having this heartbroken man in my arms crushes my heart, and no matter how bad I want to be a family with them. It is not going to work.
"We just need to do it, they wont understand it at first. But they will. They will take it very hard. We have to let them see each other. We have to see each other. Though I have no idea where we are going to live now" he says, it seemed that now he has taken it all in and he realises. It's truly over.
"You guys can stay here" I say. Though I probably should have thought about that first. I don't even know what is going to happen with Harry and I so if he doesn't let us live with him I'm not sure where we will go.
"What that's mental, where are you guys gonna go" he asks. I was shaking me head.
"I'm not sure yet. But we will figure it out. We will be close, so the kids can see each other any time" I say. At first he was hesitant to accept my offer but he soon does and it was settled. We head down the hall to explain to the kids what is going on. "You ready?" I ask and I take his hand in mine. He nods his head and we see the kids sitting on the couch watching cartoons in each others arms. "Hold on I need a picture of this" I say. I run to grab my phone and take a picture. Then we turn off the tv and sit down beside them.
"Darcy, Matthew. We have something to tell you guys" Liam starts. I nod my head.
"Oh no, the bad thing is happening" he says and he begins to cry. I take him in my arms right away.
"Shhhh,shhh. What did mummy say. It is going to be okay" I say. I look over and see Darcy clinging onto Liam. This seems so cruel. "Daddy and Mummy are going to be going to different houses now. Darcy you come with mummy and Matthew stays with Daddy" I tell her. How else do you word this for 3 and 6 year old kids. You can tell by the concentrated look on their faces that their brains were trying to process what we just said.
"No" Liam says firmly. "You guys cant be going apart. We stay together. We are a family" He says strongly. I was trying my hardest not to break out crying. I had to stay strong but at this moment I couldn't say anything. I look up to Liam and he's trying just as hard as I am but I beg him with my eyes to go on.
"Matthew mummy and daddy need to do this. You are still going to see mummy and darcy all the time. They are going to be real close" he says he voice cracking at the end. Then I look to Darcy and her bottom lip began to tremble and I knew she was about to break out crying and I knew once she started I would start and so would Matthew and this would turn into a crying fest and like I said she started crying and it caused a train reaction and Liam was the one holding us all together in his arms. "It's going to be ok, my angels. It's all going to work out" he says his voice weak. I nod my head standing up. Knowing if I didn't start packing now I never would. I had to do this. I grab my suitcase and begin throwing my clothes in there not even folded. I couldn't be bothered. I'll get the guys to come grab stuff later. Once ive got as much as I could in the suitcase I grab boxes from the storage closet from the last time we moved stuffing them full of stuff. I knew I wasn't going to get all my stuff in but I had to try. Tears were streaming down my face as I did this but I continued on. Going to Darcy's room next I see her already packing. She's got her clothes stuffed in her little princess suitcase and she has tear stains on her face. She is singing a princess song to herself quietly as she continues to pack up. For a moment, I just stand there watching as she does this. She is such a strong little girl. I come up behind her picking her up in my arms and she just hold on. Like she is afraid to let go.
"I promise you baby it is all going to be ok" I say putting her down and packing up some more of her stuff. I begin puting her stuffies into a box. Knowing she will have a tantrum without them. She is a disney maniac so she has almsot all of the disney character stufies. We are almost done packing when she says.
"Wait where is Dumbo!" almost in a scream. I reach down inside the box pulling out dumbo.
"He's right here sweetheart. We got him" I say but she takes it out of my hand running out of her room and down the hall to Matthews. I follow curious to what she is doing. Dumbo is one of her favourites. Once I catch up she is inside the room with Matthew and Liam handing Dumbo to Matthew.
"Here you go Matthew, so you never forget me. I love you" she says as she jumps into his arms. He squeezes her tight and whispers something in her ear, but still loud enough that I could hear.
"I will never forget you Darcy, I love you to much" he says to her as a few tears stream down his face. I wipe away the ones that are falling down mine and smile. They really love each other. She gets up nods her head to him and goes back to her room packing up that last few stuff. We've got the neccesities for now as we head to the door. Liam and Matthew come running down the hallway. I put our suitcases down and a few of our boxes and Liams picks me up in his arms. I wrap my legs around him and whisper in his ear.
"I'll miss you Liam" I truly will.
"I'll see you soon Cass" he says I can hear how much it pains him to say. I look to my side to see the two of them holding on like its to save their lives. "You goofballs will see each other soon. I promise" he says and with that I pick up our stuff and we head out the door.
