It was late during the night, both Liam and Niall had left and his mother finally hung up from the phone. Zayn couldn't sleep, he was too scared that the girl might wake up and he will not hear her. He looked at her, fast asleep in the baby-bed provided by the hospital. Her eyes were closed for that moment but he had a feeling that she would be waking up soon. The silence around him was making him crazy and Zayn honestly wished that she would wake up. Jasmine, he decided to give her that name based on the fact that Aladdin was the cartoon he watched most with his sister and he grew up loving it.

He was discharged out of the hospital three days after with Jasmine and he returned to Liam's apartment. It was good that it was summer so they'll all had enough free time to spend with Jasmine. However, it was only a matter of days until Zayn was packing up his luggage and ready to leave the apartment with Jasmine. Niall and Liam were to visit later during the month.

In the airport back home, his mother and eldest sister were waiting for him, or actually for Jasmine since both of them ran up to her. Zayn was still nervous in handling his own daughter so he handed her to his mother.

"Where are dad and Louis?" he asked.

"Dad's at work, Lou's still asleep. He stayed up late last night," his sister replied.

"Partying?" he said with a chuckle.

"Nah," his mother said, "he was out with his boyfriend."

Zayn froze to the spot, hoping he heard wrong, "what?"

Donija laughed, "surprising huh? Trouble Lou setteling down with a boyfriend. Harry's such a cutie and down to earth. They've been together..." she turned to look at her mum.

"Four months now," his mother continued.

Zayn remained staring blankly watching his mother and sister talking about Louis but he couldn't hear anything. His mind was out trying hard to keep calm and not cry.

How was he going to tell Louis that he's a father now? How was he going to tell him about Jasmine, his pregnancy and how much he missed him? And then he also began to wonder wheter Louis actually ever loved him. Whether he was used from his step brother and it meant nothing to Louis.

"Zayn!" He looked up quickly, "you where staring," his sister said.

"Sorry, just surprised about Louis that's all," he said offering them a smile.

His mother smiled back, "let's get going then."

Zayn took Jasmine again and he followed them out. The car ride was pretty quiet from Zayn's perspective. His mother and sister talking about what happened while he was away and Zayn sometimes forced a smile and at other times nodded.

"Where will I stay?" Zayn asked holding Jasmine and looking at his mother.

"For now you're gonna have to share a room with Louis. Dad still hadn't finished fixing the spare bedroom. It should be finished at the end of next month."

Zayn nodded, "need help to carry my things upstairs. Gotta carry Jasmine."

"I'll help," his sister said grabbing his luggage and they went upstairs.

As Zayn entered the room he saw that it hadn't changed at all. His sister left him the luggage and then left.

He laid Jasmine carefully in the middle of the bed and turned to unpack his luggage.

His eyes turned for a moment on Louis who was in a bundle of mess in the bed sheets.

He turned back to his luggage and continued unpacking.

Zayn left the room for a few to go to the bathroom. While he was in there he heard Jasmine cry and he left everything and hurried to the bedroom.

When he walked in he found Louis laid next to her poking her cheek.

Louis looked up at him, "sorry. I guess I woke her up!" he said biting his lips and chuckling.

Zayn rolled his eyes and picked her up, "should have guessed that it was you. Lou she's starting to be a bad d-uncle!" he changed recognizing his mistake.

Louis laughed and got up, "she already loves me more than you."

"She wouldn't love you if you keep waking her up all the time."

Louis bit his lip and giggled, "She will forgive me though."

"Why?"

Louis went to his wardrob

e and brought a small wrapped up soft-toy.

"Lou! You shouldn't have," Zayn said blushing softly.

"But I wanted. She's my little niece."

Zayn bit his lips and smiled nervously, "thanks Lou."

"Want to hold her?" he said. Louis nodded eagerly and Zayn allowed him to pick her up from his hands.

As he picked her, Jasmine opened her eyes widely and looked at him. Louis smiled down at her and then looked up at Zayn.

He laughed softly, "I kinda feel like a dad!"
