Never Over You (PM- Zion)

Co-parenting with Zion wasn't always easy due to his constant travels and the fact that neither one of us are really over each other. He had stolen my heart from our very first date and he has been holding onto it ever since. When we first found out I was pregnant, things were great but unfortunately he had to be on tour and missed a lot of my pregnancy which created a strain in our relationship. Our feelings for each other never changed but the stress was just overwhelming to deal with when you're trying to prepare for a baby. We ended up breaking up when I was 5 months pregnant while they were on the last leg of their tour.

Now here we are with a 3 year old daughter running around constantly making messes and singing loud like her daddy and uncles as she likes to put it. She was losing her mind over the fact that her dad and uncles are finally coming home from tour. Even though you and Zion are broken up, you still lived in the PM house. Everyone agreed that it would be easier for you and your daughter to continue living with them so that she could see her dad and mom all the time.

You watched as she played with Simba in the living room before running to the window and waving excitedly at all the boys who were getting their luggage out of the tour bus. Smiling to yourself, you walk to the door and unlock it before feeling two small bodies run past you and out towards Zion.

As the boys greeted your daughter and Simba, you pulled out your phone and started recording and taking photos of the mini reunion.

Soon the boys were heading your way with Zion carrying your daughter on his shoulder as he carried his luggage into the house with Simba trailing behind him. You greeted every boy with a hug and a kiss on the cheek as they passed you in the living room before turning to Zion.

He lifted your daughter off his shoulders before placing her on the ground and watching her run off to chat with her uncles. Zion looked down at you before pulling you into a hug.

"I missed you mamas. You don't know how hard it is to be away from you guys and not be able to hold you or kiss you whenever I want."

"Zion, we've talked about this. The time isn't right for us to be together. We have to do what's best for our daughter. I don't have time to even think about relationships."

"Come on Y/n. We live together, we're always cuddling, hell we even share a bed at night. What's wrong with throwing a label on it and becoming official?"

"I don't know Zion. It was just really hard the first time and I don't want things to end horribly if we give it another try."

"You know I won't let that happen baby. You two mean the world to me as well as Simba but we're meant to be. I've never felt like this about anyone else before. The three of you are my entire world. Please just give us another try and I'll make sure you never regret it. "

"Zion, let me think about it alright? Just go spend time with your baby and we'll figure it out later when she's gone to bed."

"Fine but this conversation isn't over alright? I'm not letting you leave again and I'll do whatever it takes to get you to love me again."

"I never stopped." I said quietly.

I hope he didn't hear that and from the looks of it, he didn't. I watched as he made his way to our shared room with his luggage before coming back out with a bag full of gifts and souvenirs for our daughter. The boys always spoil her whenever they get the chance and tour was no exception. They made a habit of buying her something from each stop on tour which usually means she gets way too many gifts when they get back.

Watching Zion interact with our daughter always warms my heart. He may come off like he doesn't care about anything but everyone knows that the minute he's around Simba or our daughter, he's a huge softie. They could get him to do whatever they wanted with a simple look and that was one of the things I loved the most about him.

Things may not have gone as expected when the two of us broke up but after spending the past 3 years watching him interact with and take care of our daughter, I just knew how serious he is about wanting to make things work. I knew that his feelings for me never changed or faltered throughout everything but hearing him tell me just how serious he is makes my heart flutter and my mind race.

Figuring out what the best move for us as a family was harder than I expected. I know we work well as a unit but would things change if we put a label on it? I have so many questions running through my head all day as the time ticks down and we get closer to putting our daughter to bed. The minute she falls asleep is when Zion is going to sit me down so we can talk about what we're going to do.

"Ok baby, off to bed now. Do you want Simba to stay in your room tonight?" Zion asked as he carried our sleepy daughter to her room.

She nodded as she closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder. Simba walked beside me as we all walked into her room. I watched as Zion tucks her in and sings her a lullaby before giving her a kiss on the forehead and petting Simba before making his way to the door.

"Ready to have our talk?" He asked while wrapped an arm around my waist.

I simply nod and follow his lead to our room next door. I could feel my nerves building up again as he closed the door and we sat down on the bed. I watched him pace back and forth across the room. I could tell that he was nervous as well. He knew what he wanted but clearly I wasn't as sure and that made more and more anxious to have this conversation.

"So you already know how I feel. I mean I tell you everyday how much you guys mean to me. I guess I just want to know if you feel the same way about me. Do you still love me like you used to?"

I took a deep breath before breathing it back out. Honestly I was lost on what to say or how I even felt. I know I love him but does that love overpower the fear I have? I wasn't sure but I had to decided soon because we can't keeping doing things the way we have been.

"I don't love you like I used."

I watched as he stopped his movements and leaned against the wall before sliding down it.

"I think I love you more Caleb. I know things have been crazy ever since we found out about our daughter but you've proven to me every single day since she was born that you're the best father she could ever ask for and I don't know. I guess I'm just scared about all the possibilities. So many things could go wrong and I just don't want her to suffer because we made a bad choice."

"Think about all the good things that will come out of this. We're both in love and our love for our daughter is stronger than anything else. We wouldn't let anything get in the way of what's best for her. Just give me one more chance to make it all right again. I promise nothing will ever come between us as a family."

"Alright Zion but this is it. No more chances after this."

"I won't need one. I'm not going to mess this up."

A/N: This was a long one and it honestly took me forever to finish this cause I wasn't sure where I wanted it to go but hopefully you enjoyed it!
