Code 5 🖋 Spaces Between Us

"You should go home, it's going late.", Harry told Zayn quietly when they got out of the room.

"Can I come back?" Zayn asked eagerly.

"O-of course, you can. If you don't have work--"

"I don't have work. I'm free tomorrow." Zayn cut him off.

"Oh, uhh, Jaireh is going to be in school, so I don't think--"

"It's okay, I'll still come."

"Okay. I guess so. Good night, Zayn." Harry said, closing the door in front of Zayn.

"Goodnight-", but Harry already closed the door. He put his hand on his chest as it was racing. He suddenly can't breathe.

He's still hurt. He can forgive Zayn. But he doesn't know if he can give him a chance.

He doesn't want to feel it again. He's afraid to love again. He already moved on. Despite having Zayn's child and getting him pregnant again. He, of course, is thankful to Zayn because he has now Jaireh and his future baby.

But hearing Zayn says that he regretted it and it was the biggest mistake of his life hurt him a lot. It hurt him so much.

Zayn turned around to go back in his car when he saw three of his brothers watching him. They smiled faintly.

"You followed me here?" Zayn asked, furrowing. They slowly nod.

"We just want to make sure," Liam spoke, leaning on his car.

"How was it?" Louis asked.

"I already know the story. I, I.. how did-- why didn't you tell me soon?" Zayn asked in frustration.

"Because he doesn't want to. He even told dad to not tell you."

"Why? I have the right to know."

"We know. He keeps on telling us he'll tell you, but it turns out he doesn't have plans to do it."

"We're sorry for not telling you. It's his thing to do."

"No, it's.... fine. At least I know now. All I have to do is, try. To make it right. I have to. They are my responsibility. They should be my priority now."

"We're here to help. You know that."

Zayn nodded. But he really wants to make this by himself. He doesn't want to depend on his brothers. He should do it all by himself.

"Honestly, I don't know where to start." He admitted, chuckling bitterly.

"Jaireh might have the same arrhythmia from Harry. That's why we rushed to the hospital when we were on the beach."

"That's the reason why Harry kept on skipping family hours. They are fighting on it."

Zayn doesn't know what to feel and what to react to. They were fighting on it, and he told Harry hurtful words about dying. He suddenly wants to hurt himself.

"Don't worry, Jaireh surpassed it. He's a strong boy. Like you."

"Do you think, he'll love me?"

"Of course, you're also his father."

Zayn smiled at the realization.

"I'm a dad now."

Since Zayn had learned about Harry's secrets, the four of them agreed on taking Harry home with them in the mansion to make sure about his health and pregnancy.
