{Zayn's POV}

I follow Perrie into our dressing room and lock the door behind us. Perrie stands in the middle of the room, her arms folded across her body and obvious anger spread across her face.

"So?" She asks me and I sigh standing opposite her about two metres away. "Speak." She says and I look at the ground before looking back at up Perrie.

"How are the DNA tests now a match?" I ask really confused how they just changed. Perrie just shakes her head and looks at me annoyed.

"Of course they're actually a match Zayn!" Perrie exclaims. "You're Ellie's father and when I asked Ella to check into because you're the only guy I've ever slept with!" She adds. "And when I spoke to the DNA doctors this morning, the experienced one explained the new doctor was writing up two cases at once and got ours mucked up! You're definitely Ellie's father!" Perrie yells and I look down, feeling ashamed that I wouldn't believe her.

"I'm really sor-"

"I'm not done." Perrie butts in and I wait for her to continue. "You've been brining Ellie up for the last two years of her life, you've loved her since we found out I was pregnant and to think you'd yell at her that you're not her father makes me feel sick!" Perrie tells me. "She adores you with all her heart and to think she was curled up in a ball crying because she loves you so much and now she's actually afraid to go near you, that's disgusting!" Perrie yells.

"Then you went on to say that the twins might not be yours either," Perrie shakes her head. "And you're always an asshole when something bad happens between us!" Perrie yells. "If someone else had an issue you'd sit and listen but you never listen when I need to explain! You always seem to have some sort of anger and ego issue!" She exclaims.

"Not to mention you have a tendency to jump to conclusions and close up any other possible ideas or explanations Zayn!" Perrie yells enraged. "And I would never cheat on you! That's not the first time you've accused me of cheating on you," Perrie says suddenly displaying hurt. "After all the times you've been accused of cheating I stood by you, not ever believing any of it but the moment a DNA test gets mucked up, I've cheated on you and you won't let me explain the truth!" Perrie shakes her head.

"It hurts but Ellie is the main issue. I suggest you apologise to her because she only wants to be able to be with her Dad again, if he believes he is her Dad. I'll see you later Zayn." Perrie walks out of the room and I walk over to the wall, sliding down in and resting my head in my lap.

I've stuffed up so badly. I've wrecked it. How could I have been such a penis face. I've hurt Ellie, I've hurt Perrie, I've been a selfish bastard and blocked out the truth and now I'm in fear of losing the best things that ever happened to me because of my stupid ego. Asshole equals me.

I walk into our home and put my coat onto the coat rack, my shoes down on the floor and I place my keys, phone and wallet onto the table before heading up the staircase.

I make it to Ellie's bedroom door and stand in the doorframe. Ellie is just sitting there playing with her Little People. I knock against the door and she looks up at me with no emotion at all.

"Can I come in?" I ask my two year old. She nods and I walk into the room, sitting down near her and she hands me three people. I look at the Batman one, the policeman one and the Tinkerbell one.

We play with the Little People for a good half an hour, Ellie staring to talk to me again and we play with the toys, creating stories and games.

"Look Dadda!" Ellie squeals as she has stacked five Little People on too of each other. I take a glance at the tower but think more about how she called me Dadda. I am her Dad, there's no doubt about that. I don't know why I was so stupid and yelled at her, thinking she wasn't mine.

"That's good Baba." I reply and she smiles before picking up Batman, Tinkerbell, a smaller sized one with brown hair and the dogs that look alike. "What's that El?" I ask, although I have a slight idea what it might be.

"Mumma," Ellie points at Tinkerbell. "Because Mumma is very pretty and she's like a fairy princess." Ellie explains and I nod, agreeing that Perrie is very pretty. "Me," she points at the little girl. "And you Dadda," Ellie points at Batman. "Because you are my hero," Ellie smiles and I feel an explosion of warmth through my body.

"Who are the dogs?" I ask confused.

"The babies!" Ellie smiles.

"Mumma's not having dogs!" I exclaim and Ellie bursts into laughter. I laugh with her and when she stops she climbs over the Little People and sits in my lap, her small hand grabbing my tee.

"Ellie, I am so sorry for yelling at you. "It was bad of me and I didn't mean to make you upset, I was angry and shouldn't have yelled at you." I apologises and kiss her gently.

"It's o- tay Dadda." Ellie replies and then kisses my lips before hugging me tightly her little arms around my neck. "I love you Dadda." She says.

"I love you too Ellie." I reply and she climbs down off my lap.

"Is Mumma your princess Dadda?" Ellie asks me as she walks over to her bookshelf, climbing on top of her toy chest so she can reach the books.

"No. You're my princess and Mumma is my queen." I reply and Ellie nods, grabbing down a book and coming over to me. Ellie hands me her book of Disney stories, courtesy of Jade, and then she climbs into my lap.

"Can you read Tarzan to me please?" Ellie asks and I nod, finding her favourite Disney story. Frozen is her favourite movie, Brave scares her and Tarzan is her favourite book because baby Tarzan looks like Harry.

"Sure Baba." I reply and start to read the story, basically a short version of he movie with lots of pictures and not many words.

About halfway through the story Perrie walks into he room with Ellie's washing. "Sorry," she apologises when she sees Ellie and I and then leaves Ellie's clothes in the room before exiting.

So Ellie's all fine, next is Perrie.
