"Hey sweetie."
"But...H-How?"
I shake my head and wrap my arms around her, ignoring my own question.
"Mom...It's been four, almost five years. Where were you?"
"I'm sorry sweetie...I'm so sorry. He took me the same time he took you. He just never kept us on the same floor of the house. You were usually in the basement and I was usually in the attic."
"The police said they found your body in the house."
"That wasn't mine honey. That was somebody else. He...abused her enough so she was beyond recognition."
"Oh...oh my god."
She nodded, crying and hugged me.
"So is daddy-"
"Yeah. He's gone."
I shake my head, crying now.
"You look beautiful sweetheart." She says, trying to change the subject.
"Thank you...Why are you just now coming back?"
"I didn't want you to be mad at me."
"Why would I be mad? I'm crying with joy because you're back."
She sighs in relief and squeezes me tighter.
She finally pulls away. "We'll talk about it later okay?" I nod.
"So this is your husband I'm assuming?" She asks, gesturing to Zayn.
"Yeah, this is Zayn Malik. Zayn, this is my mom, Heather."
"Nice to meet you ma'am. I'm sorry that happened to you. So sorry."
"Thank you honey. It's nice to meet you too."
"Hey guys, are you ready to-Er, hello ma'am."
"Hi." My mom says, smiling at Liam.
He looks her up and down.
"Wait...No. Kels, you said your mom was dead...?"
"I thought she was Liam...She's back. She was never gone actually."
"So this is your mom? Like your legit mom?"
"Yeah this is my legit mom."
"Why did you leave her?" He snaps, starting to get protective.
"She cried herself to sleep every night. Every night! She's had so many panic attacks and breakdowns because she thought you were dead!"
"Li, stop."
"I'm sorry. I understand but I couldn't come back. You have to understand that."
"What do you mean-"
"He took her Li. He took us both." His face softened.
"Oh...I-I'm sorry."
"It's okay...Thank you for looking after my daughter."
He nods and turns to us.
"Are you two ready to have your dance?"
"Yeah. Are you Z?"
"Always Blue."
I smile.
"I'll uh, see you in a minute momma. Ryder's here somewhere."
"Alright honey. Take your time."
I nod and walk away, locking arms with Zayn.
"You okay baby?"
I shake my head.
"No. Not at all."
He rubs my back.
"Well, if you can last for the rest of the reception, you can go out with her later and get caught up. We can postpone the honeymoon."
"No, baby it's okay. I don't wanna leave you alone tonight."
"Are you sure sweetheart?"
I nod.
"Thank you though. I just wanna o home and cuddle before we leave."
"Alright baby. Whatever you want."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
As the music starts, everybody surrounds us and we begin to slow dance.
He stares into my eyes and I can tell he notices. He knows I'm about to cry.
"It'll be okay. I promise. Please don't cry."
I smile a little and nod, focusing on the dancing and not the battle inside my head.
I look around at the crowd and see my mom, smiling as wide as ever.
I return her smile and look back at Zayn.
"I love you."
"I love you." He says back, kissing my forehead.
"I hate to break up the couple's dance but we have a very large surprise for them!" Me and Zayn look at each other confused.
"Welcome out 5 Seconds of Summer!" My eyes go wide. What?!
They run out onto the dance floor, smiling at me and Zayn.
"What-? Why are you guys here?"
"Let's just say your friends over there convinced us to come. Besides, we really liked you guys and we were really happy for you." Luke explains, smiling.
"And we were in the next town over." Calum says.
"Yeah that too." I smile wide and look over at Harry, Niall, Liam and Louis.
"Guys!!"
They walked up with smiles and I hug them all.
"Thank you guys so much."
"You're welcome!"
"So anyway, we're gonna sing some songs to get you people moving!" Michael yells, hopping up on the steps in the back of the room.
I smile, peck Zayn's lips and start doing a really bad white girl dance.
He just laughs and does the same.
"This is why I love you, oh my god."
He says, laughing at me, us, our relationship.
My mom walks up and grabs my wrist.
"Are you pregnant?"
"Er, yeah. I guess you noticed?"
"Yeah. It's hard with the make of the dress but I noticed you were walking kinda slowly and then I saw the bump when you moved a little."
I nodded.
"Are you mad?"
"Heaven's no! I'm ecstatic! Is it a girl or a boy?"
"It's a surprise. We don't know yet. But whatever the gender, we're naming it Ashton Bleu."
"Bleu? I like it. Is that why your decorations are blue?"
"Oh no. There's a different reason. The same reason that's the baby's name but it's a really long story. I'll tell you someday though." She nods, just staring at me.
Suddenly, I can't help it, I hug her again.
I can't believe you're back. I never thought I'd see you again and I-" I sob, my voice cracking.
"Shh...Don't cry. Oh honey please don't cry."
"I never thought I'd see you again..."
"I'm here now though. So that's okay right?"
"Yeah. As long as you don't leave."
"I won't. Now, go get freaky with your husband."
"Mom!!"
"I'm just saying! Go have fun!"
