Chapter 15

"All you have to do is sign a few documents stating that you'll be taking possession of your grandfather's estate." David explained as he gave Zayn and Trisha his business card.

"When would that be?" Zayn asked reading the card then looking at David.

"As soon as you want." David said.

"Can we do it now?" Zayn asked.

"Zayn...I think it can wait." Trisha said misinterpreting Zayn's reasons.

"Mum you know this is my chance at finding Niall and our daughter, I will finally have the means to go after them." Zayn pleaded as Trisha's eyes softened.

"You want to do it today?" David asked and Zayn nodded.

He quickly changed into more appropriate clothes and met David at the office where he worked since he was already eighteen years of age he was able to sign on his own and just like that he had gone from a boy who had nothing to a boy who had everything and could spend money by the thousands and still have enough left to last him a lifetime.

"Tell me again why we have to stay here instead of going straight to Bradford." Amelia whined as she played temple run on her phone.

"Amelia...don't be stupid, where do you think is gonna be the first place Maura's gonna go look for me. I'm pretty sure she already noticed we're gone." Niall said looking out the window of their hotel.

"She already called forty times and left a bunch of hateful messages and its not even noon yet." Amelia sighed looking at her phone.

"We're safe now." Niall mumbled as he rubbed his stomach where Nina had kicked him hard.

"Shouldn't you call Zayn? And Niall your c-section was scheduled for next week and I totally overlooked that!" Amelia started freaking out abandoning her phone and pacing around the room.

"We'll be in Bradford by then." Niall assured her.

That night as Niall lay in bed about to fall asleep he let out a tiny yelp as a small sharp pain assaulted his lower stomach and spine lasting a few seconds before disappearing, thinking nothing about it he fell asleep ignoring what was coming.

"Ame-Amelia!! God..." Niall screamed in pain as he tried to get up.

"It's four in the morning, go back to sleep." Amelia mumbled scooting away from Niall who was sharing the bed with her.

"Fuck you! I would but she-she wants to come out now." Niall cried holding his stomach.

"What!?" Amelia yelled bolting up. "It's not time yet, tell her to stay in there."

"You think she cares, if she wants to come out she will and oh my God it hurts!" Niall panted.

"Okay, okay. Niall calm down and sit here while I get your stuff and call your Zayn, I don't care how he gets here but he's gonna get here." Amelia said as she grabbed a bag and filled it with Niall's stuff then grabbed Nina's bag setting them by the door.

"Fuckfuckfuck it feels like she's clawing my insides, I can't do this." Niall groaned taking deep breaths.

"That's not what you said when you made her, now suck it up and lets go I know you can do it." Amelia said and smiled sweetly as Niall glared at her while she helped him put his shoes on and a coat.

She quickly hailed a cab and told the driver to take them to the closest hospital as the driver's eyes widened when he saw Niall was literally about to give birth in his cab and drove as fast as he could while Niall kept yelling insults at Amelia and some even directed at Zayn. Amelia frantically searched for Zayn's number in her cellphone and sighed in relief when she found it under 'hot stuff' and looked at Niall weird since he had been the one who had added his number in her contacts, how had she never notice it before she had no clue. She quickly pressed the call button on her phone and prayed for him to answer since it was still way too early.

"Hello?" Zayn's groggy and annoyed voice answered, he was royally pissed off that he had been woken up that early.

"Umm hello, is this hot stuff-I mean Zayn?" Amelia said as she watched Niall squirming around.

"Yeah...who is this?" Zayn asked looking at his clock telling him it was a little after four.

"Amelia. Listen you have to get up and come to London as fast as you can because your kid's about to come out." Amelia said nervously.

"Listen if this is some kind of sick joke you can go-" Zayn started.

"I can't do this anymore, she's gonna rip me apart and its all Zayn's fault. FUCK YOU MALIK!" Niall screamed from somewhere close to the phone and Zayn was suddenly fully awake.

"I'll be down there I'll call you when I get there so you can tell me where he is." Zayn quickly said then hung up after Amelia agreed.

He quickly got up and dressed in warm comfortable clothes and washed his face and brushed his teeth while packing a small bag and the necessary items he was going to need. Making sure he hadn't left anything behind he rushed out of his room to his mother's muttering about how he wasn't going to make it in time for her birth, he opened his mother's door thinking that at least he was away from Maura and he was going to get to see him again after almost eight months.

"Mum...mum wake up I gotta go." Zayn said shaking Trisha.

"Going where love, you don't work today." Trisha said eyeing Zayn's bag.

"I don't know how but Niall's in London and his friend just called me to tell me he's in labour and to get there as soon as I can." Zayn explained.

"Wait, I'm coming with you. I'm gonna drop the girls off with Gemma." Trisha said quickly getting up.

Zayn helped Trisha and bundled Safaa up with her blanket while his mum woke Waliyah up and while Trisha got ready Zayn dropped his sisters off with Gemma who gave him a big hug and told him to be careful on the road and to tell Niall that they're waiting for him back home. They got in the car and drove off, they had three hours to go by before they could get there and not enough time because Zayn knew his daughter would be born at any minute now and he wasn't there with Niall to welcome her.

"Mum she's almost here." Zayn said trying not to freak out.

"I know love and you're gonna be the best dad and she's going to love you." Trisha answered.

***

"I said she's not coming out until Zayn gets here, you said he's on his way." Niall said stubbornly.

"Dammit Niall, it takes almost three hours to get here from Bradford and she's not gonna wait. You're going in for surgery in an hour whether you like it or not." Amelia said.

"But I want him here with me." Niall cried then screamed when another contraction hit him.

"I know bub but they need to get her out." Amelia said rubbing his stomach.

The hour passed by too fast for Niall's liking and soon he found himself surrounded by doctors who were preparing him to get Nina out while Zayn drove like a maniac breaking traffic rules he didn't give a flying fuck about, all he wanted was to get there as soon as he could after he had finally accepted the fact that he was never going to make it for her birth. Niall couldn't really focus on what was going on, he could feel a tugging sensation here and there but all he could think about was Zayn and that soon the nightmare of being away from him would disappear.

"Just a little bit more Niall, hang on." Dr. Drew said as Niall nodded.

"I feel funny mum." Zayn mumbled.

"What do you mean?" Trisha asked.

"I don't know, it's like I'm happy but I want to cry." Zayn explained.

"Here you go daddy." Dr. Drew smiled as he placed a small bundle of pink on Niall's chest as he cried immediately wrapping his arms around her.

Niall lifted his head a little to see his small baby girl wrapped in a pink blanket as she cried and wiggled around, he reached to uncover her head revealing a head full of dark hair like Zayn's and an olive skin tone a little pale but olive nonetheless. He held her close to him crying and kissing her forehead.

"I love you sweetheart, Daddy Zayn loves you too." Niall whispered looking at her tiny face as she opened her eyes once revealing a blue that he hoped stay there then closed them again as her dark eyelashes fanned her cheeks.

"Niall we have to weigh her and get her ready, we'll take her to your room after we're done." Dr. Drew smiled and Niall nodded handing her over.

Niall was taken back to a different room where Amelia was already waiting for him and as soon as the nurses were gone she attacked him with hugs and kisses careful not to hurt him. He smiled lazily up to her.

"Nurse told me they're gonna bring Nina at any moment now." Amelia said.

"Yeah." Niall mumbled.

A few minutes later they brought her in in a plastic bassinet and he was told she could stay there with him. One of the nurses picked her up and gave her to him as Amelia cooed over how gorgeous she was muttering about how she did her names justice. He stared at her while Amelia texted Zayn the address avoiding to tell him she was already there to keep him from crashing or something. She then called Bobby and Greg letting them know were they were to which Greg replied saying that they already knew Niall had gotten away because Maura had called them in hysterics demanding to know where his son and granddaughter were and that they were on their way.

"I'm tired, I'm gonna take a nap." Niall mumbled.

"It's almost six, go crazy Nialler." Amelia smiled taking Nina putting her back in her bassinet.

It was already seven thirty and Zayn had just parked the car and got out followed by his mum who rubbed his back to try and calm him down. He looked at his phone staring at the 'maternity ward, sixth floor, room 619. I'll be waiting outside the door, congratulations!' text that Amelia had sent him earlier. He couldn't wait to get there thank her and see Niall and their daughter. He and his mother made his way and soon he was on the sixth floor walking down the hallway, he began breathing harder when he saw a tall girl with brown hair, blond highlights and blue tips standing outside leaning against the wall.

"Amelia?" Zayn asked as the girl turned around smiling widely.

"Yes, you must be Zayn and Mrs. Malik. Nice to meet you." Amelia greeted shaking hands with them.

"Thank you so much for bringing him back." Zayn genuinely said trying not to cry.

"You don't have to thank me. Go, they're waiting for you." Amelia smiled getting out of the way.

"Mum..." Zayn said looking at his mum.

"You go ahead love, I'll be here." Trisha smiled.

Zayn slowly opened the door and immediately noticed Niall sleeping peacefully and a clear plastic bassinet where he could see a pink blanket and tiny arms covered in white sleeves and pink mittens waving around in the air as small noises came from it. He walked closer to it and what he saw stole his breath away, he moved and gently kissed Niall on the forehead who was still too tired to wake up then moved back to stand next to her. He felt tears streaming down his face as he took in her perfect features and dark hair, feeling the urge he gently picked her up in his arms and sat down on a chair with her in front of him. She let out a small cry but quickly quieted down when Zayn began rocking her softly back and forth humming softly to her.

He softly brushed her tiny cheek with his thumb feeling the warm soft skin underneath it then brought her forward kissing her forehead then cradled her against his chest with her head resting on his shoulder crying silently as she wiggled around. He moved her back and held her there just staring at her with her tiny button nose a few inches away from his then kissed it smiling at the tiny yawn she let out after.

"I love you baby girl." Zayn said then looked up to see Niall looking at him with his bright blue eyes filled with happy tears.

"Hi." Niall said smiling lazily.

"Hi...I missed you." Zayn said getting up putting Nina in her bassinet then walking over to Niall kissing him softly then hugging him.

"I'm sorry I left you." Niall mumbled against Zayn's chest.

"You don't have to apologize love, what matters is that you're both here and I'm not letting you out of my sight ever again." Zayn smiled.

"How's everybody back home?" Niall asked.

"Harry actually had their baby girl yesterday and they named her Bethany Sophia, they can't wait to see you and Nina." Zayn smiled looking at their daughter.

"I can't either but I don't wanna go back to my dad's house, I'm afraid Maura's gonna go there looking for me." Niall said.

"You can move in with me if you want to." Zayn shyly said picking Nina up and bringing her to Niall.

"Time to feed the little princess." A nice nurse said walking in with a bottle in her hand.

"Can he feed her?" Niall asked her pointing at Zayn.

"Of course. You must be the other father, the little one definitely has your looks young man." She smiled handing him the bottle.

"I-I don't know how to do it." Zayn said looking at the bottle with wide eyes.

"Hold her and hold her head up, make sure you don't tilt the bottle too much or she'll get air in and get colics, trust me, it's not pretty." She said.

Niall gave Nina to Zayn and cooed over how careful he was with her and watched as he fed her then giggled at how eager she looked when she grabbed the bottle with both of her tiny hands. Zayn smiled down at her wondering how he got so lucky and gotten the perfect boyfriend and a beautiful daughter.

"There are two young women waiting outside, should I send them in?" The nurse asked.

"It's just my mum and your friend." Zayn quickly said when Niall began panicking.

"Yeah." Niall nodded.

"Niall love." Trisha said walking in followed by Amelia.

"Trisha, I'm so glad to see you again." Niall smiled returning her hug.

"Me too. Is that her, oh my God she's gorgeous." Trisha gushed looking at Nina.

"Umm Niall...your dad and brother just got here." Amelia smiled.

"Really?" Niall asked and soon there was a knock at the door then Greg walked in followed by Bobby who teared up at the sight of Nina.

"I missed you Nialler." Greg said wrapping his arms around Niall.

"I missed you too, dad, Greg come meet Nina." NIall smiled and Zayn showed her off proudly since she was done eating and had burped her like the nurse had instructed.

"I think grandma Trisha should hold you first baby." Bobby said.

"Hey there." Trisha cooed as soon as she was in her arms.

"Zayn did you signed the documents necessary to claim your estate?" Bobby asked Zayn since he worked in the same office Zayn had showed up the day before and had decided to read over the documents to make sure everything was alright.

"Yes, did you prepared the documents I asked for?" Zayn asked shyly.

"I'm working on them." Bobby smiled.

"What's going on?" Niall asked completely confused.

"Well...how do I explain this. Mr. Horan?" Zayn awkwardly said not knowing how to start.

"Zayn here is the grandson of Mohammad Malik, he passed away leaving Zayn his only beneficiary meaning he inherited his estate." Bobby explained as Niall's jaw dropped.

"Yeah, now mum can't bitch about how he has no money. Zayn is now a multimillionaire, richer than Maura. Ow!" Greg yelped after Bobby had smacked the back of his head.

"Manners! What are you teaching your niece." Bobby hissed then smiled when Trisha gave Nina to him.

"It's true dad, mum was so unfair." Greg mumbled sadly feeling bad for his mother.

"What matters now is that Nina and I get to go home." Niall cheered.

"What about you Amelia, haven't seen you in forever." Greg said.

"Well now that you're all here and Niall and Nina are safe I have to go to Chicago to join mum and dad." Amelia said.

"I'm gonna miss you, thank you so much for helping me and putting up with me all these months." Niall said.

"You're welcome." Amelia smiled walking over to him hugging him.

"Thank you." Zayn smiled.

"I don't know how we'll ever repay you." Bobby said giving Nina to Greg.

"You're all gonna make me cry." Amelia whined.

Later that afternoon after Trisha, Bobby, Greg, and Amelia had gone to their respective hotels Zayn and Niall lay in the hospital bed with Nina on top of Zayn's chest as he rubbed tiny circles on her back. He smiled when Niall kissed his cheek then Nina's who wiggled at the sensation of Niall's lips on her cheek.

"I love you both." Zayn said wrapping his free hand around Niall.

"I love you both too." Niall smiled.

"Literally everyone's waiting to see you again and meet Nina, mum Anne is so excited and the girls almost left me deaf when they kept screaming at me through the phone." Zayn said.

"I can't wait to see them either, I wanna meet Bethany." Niall said.

"She's a mini Louis." Zayn giggled.

"And this one's a mini Zayn." Niall giggled poking Zayn's cheek.

"We're gonna have to keep all the boys away." Zayn sighed kissing the top of Nina's head.

"Yeah, I can see you and Louis scaring them away." Niall laughed.

Zayn's lips turned up into a smile then quickly kiss Niall knowing that he was right. He and Louis were going to scare all the boys away from their baby girls because to them they would always be their baby girls no matter how old they got.
