He immediately looked down. 

"Who's the Father?" He asked quietly.

I knew exactly what he was thinking.

"She's yours Zayn..." I said, nervously. 

He looked up. He stood there in a trance for a minute. I began to feel a lump in my throat. I began to think he didn't want her. 

"I know..." I paused, "I know it's not exactly what you'd think you'd come home to..." I said. 

"But...how?" He asked.

"You left for training. I got off the pill...then you came back." I said.

His eyes got glassy. 

"I have a daughter?" He smiled. 

I immediately felt the weight of the world get lifted off my shoulders. I smiled and nodded. I looked at Faith. 

"Do you know who this is?" I asked her.

She nodded. 

"Who is it?" I asked.

"It's daddy." She said sweetly. 

"You wanna give daddy a hug?" I asked. 

She nodded, reaching her arms out for him. He smiled, taking her out of my arms. 

Faiths little arms hugged Zayn's neck, as Zayn held her close.

"Oh my God." Zaynsaid breathlessly, having tears falling down his face. 

"Daddy, I talked to you every night. Did you hear me?" Faith asked sweetly. 

"Yes, baby girl. I heard." He said wiping his tears. 

Tears began to fall down my face as well. They were happy tears. 

We walked back into the living room. 

Zayn was so happy he had a daughter, he told everyone. They were so happy for us. 

"Where's Eleanor?" Louis asked. 

We all got quiet. We werent exactly sure how to tell Louis everything.

"Come on, Louis." I said taking him by his arm. We all walked up stairs to Eleanor's room. 

I opened the door. Eleanor sat in the same seat, same position in front of the window. 

I moved aside for Louis to walk in. The rest of us stood in the doorway.

"What's wrong with her?" Zayn asked, as he was holding Faith. 

"She's been in a Deep depression for 3 years. Ever since she learned about Louis' death." Danielle said. 

"She wouldn't talk, sleep, eat or leave this room." I said. 

We watched as Louis slowly walked over to her. 

"El..." He spoke softly. 

She continued to look outside. 

"El..." He said again. He kneeled down in front of her and touched her hand.

She looked at him. Then something happened that I hadn't seen or heard since forever.

"It's me..." He said with a cracked voice.

"Louis..." She spoke weakly. 

I breathed in sharply. It was so good to hear her voice.

"Im here..." He whispered.

"Your alive?" She asked. 

"I'm alive." He said wiping the tears from his eyes. 

She began to cry. They immediately hugged each other. Eleanor cried and cried into his shoulder.
