Chapter 2

A Chapter by Ash

We were driving in the car on the way to the house, Liam was asking everything there is to know about Sophia. After Liam asked me triallions of questions he asked me a question that I really didn't even know the answer to.

"Are you going to tell Zayn he has a daughter?"

"I don't know Liam. I mean I know Sophia needs to know her dad, and Zayn needs to know he has a child. It's just... I don't think I can talk to him or even look at him."

"Carter, I know you haven't seen or talked to him since the break up, but I think it's best for you to talk to him and sort everything out." As Liam said that we pulled up to the house. We got out of the car and I said, " I don't think I can do that Li."

"Why can't you do that Carter?"

"Liam you know why I can't. You know what he did to me. You know he cheated on me with Perrie. Now he is dating her. Liam, you know I still love him." At this point I was crying. Liam walked over to me and wiped my tears.

"Carter I know you still love him, He still loves you too."

"Liam, stop, he doesn't love me. If he loved me he wouldn't be dating Perrie."

"Carter..." I cut him off

"Liam, can you just drop it? I'm done talking about him with you. No, you know what I'm done talking about him in general." I got Sophia out of the car. She wasn't asleep anymore. She was looking up at me with her big brown eyes. She has Zayn's eyes. Zayn's gorgeous brown eyes. No,Carter you need to stop thinking about him. He broke your heart STOP! Liam broke me out of my thoughts, "Let's go get settle in, okay?"

"Okay," Liam grabbed the bags from the car. We walked inside. No one was home thank god! The house was huge.

"Okay, I'm going to give you a tour."

"Okay!"

"This the kitchen, next in the theater room, the game room. Let's go upstairs. This is Niall and Zayn's room, next is Harry and Louis room, and this is my room, which you'll be staying in. Each of the rooms have a bathroom connected to it. There's a guest room, which is right next to ours that can be Sophia's."

"Liam, you don't have to do that."

"No, it's fine. How about you unpack and I'll go buy acrib for Sophia." I put Sophia down and gave him a hug.

"Thanks Li. You know your the best big brother that a girl could ever have!" He smiled at me and kissed my forehead.

"And did you know your the best little sister a guy could have?" I smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "Alright I'm going to go buy Sophia somethings." He said.

" Liam, you don't have to do that. A crib is all she needs."

"No, I'm her uncle and I'm going to spoil her. Call me if you need anytthing. I'll be back in a ittle bit, bye."

"Bye." I picked Sophia's carrier upand put it on the bed. I picked up the bags from the floor and started to unpack them. I put my clothes in the drawers and closet. I picked up Sophia's carrier and her bags. I went into her room and put all of her clothes and other things away. After I was done with that it was 3;30. I heard the door open and then close down stairs. "Carter I'm home." Laim yelled. I heard him come up the stairs. "Hey, how are my two favorite girls"

"We're good, but tred."

"I'll go put Sophia's crib together, then she can take a nap. I also bought her clothes, diapers, a changing table, formula, wipes, and toys."

"Wow Liam! You sure know how to spoil your niece." I told him

"Yeah, I do! I'll be back be back. I'm going to put her crib together."

1 hour later:

Liam came into the, " Carter everything is set up. Sophia can take a nap now." I took her our of her carrier and went into her room. When I walked into her room, everything was set up. I walked over to her crib and put her in it. As soon as she was put down she closed her eyes and was asleep.

"I guess she's really tired." Liam said.

"Yeah, she usually naps at 1:30, but we weren't here yet."

Oh, the boys are suppossed to be back after 6 then around 7:30 were going to go out to dinner, okay?"

"Okay, I'm going to go take a nap. I'm exhausted."

"Alright sleep well." He kissed my forehead. We both walked out of Sophia's room. He walked down stairs, and I walked into our room. I put on more comfortable clothes. I layed down, closed my eyes, and let sleep take over me.

I woke up at six. I went to Sophia's room to check on her. She was awake in her crib making noises. I picked her up. "Hi baby girl. What are you doing?" I cooed to her. Down stairs I heard voices. I walked out of Sophia's room with her in my arms and walked down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen and saw Luis, Liam, Harry, and Niall. When they heard me, they turned around. They didn't even say a word they just stared at me in shock.

"Hey, Carter how are you? Oh I'm fine thanks for asking." I said sarcastically. "Hello Earth to Louis, Harry, and Niall!"

"Carter, we've missed you!" Niall finally spoke.

"I've missed you guys too!"

"Who's this little cutie?" Harry asked.

"Umm... this is Sophia m-m-my daughter." There eyes got huge and stared at me in shock again.

"Carter, who's the father?" Louis asked. I looked up at my three best friends. My eyes began to water. "Zayn's the father," I croaked. The first one to react was Niall. H ecame and gave me a hug. Harry and Louis did too.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Louis asked.

"The reasons are obvious as to why I didn't tell you!"

"We could have been there to help you!" Harry said.

"Does Zayn know," Naill asked?

I shook my head no. "Please just drop it I don't wan to talk about him."

Well you're going to have to some day, Carter," Liam said.

"Yeah, well not today!" It was silent after that. Then the boys started asking questions about Sophia.

"How old is she," Harry asked?

"A month old."

"Damn! You look fit for someone who just had a baby a month ago."

"Thanks Hazza." I blushed.They asked plenty of questions like liam did earlier.The boys went to get ready for dinner at 6:30. Liam came down stairs a few minutes later.

"I can take Sophia from you while you get ready.

"Thanks Li." I gave him Sophia. "She likes when you move around and talk to her." I smiled at him, went up stairs and got changed. I put on a teal tank top, a pencil skirt, I put flats on, and a little makeup. I also curled my hair. I went back down stairs and found Harry holding Sophia. "She likes you," I told him.

"All kids like me," he said.

"Yeah, sure. I'll take her now. I have to feed her." He handed me back Sophia. I was in the kitchen making her bottle. I was holding her with one hand. The door bell rang. Her bottle was done. I came out of the kitchen. "Who was at the door," I asked while looking down at Sophia. Everyone was silent. I looked up and met those big brown eyes I haven't seen in months.

"Zayn..."
