Zion's POV

I took out Stormi's  stroller from the car and Ariana was holding her.
"Here you go" I said smiling
"Thank you baby" Ari said and placed Stormi in.
We started walking towards the aquarium where the guys and the girls were already waiting for us.

"Oh look at you. Z you look a father" Ansley said smiling
"Thanks" I laughed
I looked at Ariana who was looking at me smiling. She had this look in her eyes, that made my heart explode.
"I love you" I said and kissed her
"And I love you, my little dream" she whispered.

We entered the aquarium and I was pushing Stormi's stroller and Ariana was showing her around.
"FISHIES" Stormi yelled and started clapping her hands
All of us laughed at her cuteness.
A few minutes later we found a bench and we all took a seat. Ariana picked Stormi up and walked in front of the tank to see better. The girls following behind her, so it was just me and the guys.
I was looking at the girls with a smile on my face. She's so good with kids and I can tell she'll be a great mama. And I hope I'll be the dad. Maybe one day...

"Zion, What are you thinking about?" I heard Ed asking me and I turned my head in his direction.
I glanced back at the girls and shook my head
"Nothing" I said smiling
"Come on. You're thinking about something, you're smiling like an idiot" Nick said
"Well. Look at Ariana" I said and they turned their heads in her direction
"What about her?" Austin asked
"Look how good she is with Stormi. She treats her like it's her daughter" I said smiling
"That's true. She's really good with kids" Bee said and I nodded

I looked back at her and a smile appeared on my face. But it disappeared quickly when some thoughts crossed my mind. I don't know why I'm thinking about this, but it just hit me.
"Hey, What's wrong?" Austin asked and the boys looked at me
"I just...don't understand how a person like her can be so caring and wants to help so many people. And can deal with so many problems at the same time" I said quietly
"Why are you saying this?" Bee asked
"Look at her. What do you see?" I asked and they looked at her
"I see a happy girl" Ed said
"And a talented one" Nick said
"And a really caring one" Bee said and I nodded
"Exactly. That's what everyone sees. Because that's what she wants us to see. Ok it's true. She is all of these things, but she's also a sensitive person. And a really brave one. I mean look at her. She's been through two toxic relationships. That assholes psychically hurt her. She's dealing with severe anxiety. She has sleepless nights because she's working nonstop. Because she wants everything to be perfect. She wants everyone to happy and yet a shit ton of people don't know what she's going through because she doesn't want them to worry about her...I mean there are things that I don't know about her" I said and the guys were silent

They didn't said one word so I continued.
"But look at her now. She's happy. Truly happy" I said
"How can you tell" Nick asked
"Because I pay attention to her. I pay attention to every single thing. I know it's been only three months since we started dating but I know her and everything about her. And she doesn't have to tell me how she feels, because I can tell by the look on her face and her gestures. And right now she's truly happy, because she's with us. Her new family" I said and looked at them
"Wow...you're a changed man dude" Ed said smiling
"She brings the best out of you" Austin said
"You know, I can see that she makes you happy. But you also make her happy. I saw the way she's smiling and how her eyes sparkle when she sees you or hears your name. She really loves you" Bee said and I smiled
"And I really love her" I said and looked at her and saw them coming our way

Ariana's POV

"Hi guys, what were you talking about?" Maggie asked the boys
"Oh you know. Boys stuff" Nick said smiling
I looked at Zion and he was already looking at me with a smile on his face. I smiled back at him and he came my way
"What do you guys want to do now?" He asked us
"Let's just go to the park that's across the street" I said smiling

All of them agreed so I started pushing Stormi's stroller. I looked at Zion and he looked sad, I mean not sad...but I could tell that he was thinking of something.
"Hey, are you ok?" I asked him
He looked at me and smiled softly
"Yeah baby. Don't worry about it" he said and kissed my cheek
I knew he wasn't telling me something. I'll just talk to him when we get there
We walked in silence and when we got there I asked the girls to look after Stormi.

I walked next to Zion and grabbed his hand and went to a bench.
"Baby, please tell me what's bothering you. I know you're not telling me something" I said and looked at him
He looked back at me
"We were at the aquarium and I was just looking at you and some thoughts crossed my mind. I...I don't know how you can do it" he said and made me confused
"What exactly?" I said softly
"I don't understand how you can be happy around people, so caring, so open minded and you always want to help others. And yet no one has wondered how you're really feeling" he said and I knew exactly what he was talking about.
I looked at him and I was about to answer when my phone started ringing. He nodded his head and I answered.

"Hello" I said
"Hi girl. I want to tell you that our business trip finished early and we're coming to pick Stormi up tonight" Kylie said and I nodded my head even tho she couldn't see me
"Ok. I'll go pack everything and I'll see you after" I said
"Perfect. See you in like two hours. Bye" she said
"Bye Bye" I said and ended the call

I looked at Z and he was already looking at me
"It was Kylie. They finished the business trip and they're coming to pick Stormi up in two hours" I said and he nodded
"I'll tell you everything tonight ok?" I said slowly and he gave me a smile
"Ok" he said and pecked my lips

~skip time~
At the apartment

"Thank you so much for taking care of her" Kylie said as she picked Stormi up
"It's really not a problem. Anytime" I said smiling and walked towards the door with them
"Say thank you Stormi"
"Tank wou" She said and I smiled at her
"I love you Storm Storm" I said and kissed her cheek
"Bye Bye" Kylie said and I closed the door after.

I went back in the living room where Zion was staying on the couch. The guys and girls went home after we left so it's just the two of us.
"Come on" I softly said and grabbed his hand and walked upstairs.

He didn't said anything. I know that he has questions and I'm gonna answer every single one of them. Because he deserves to know everything.
