Dibs *IN EDITING

Chapter 17

“Leila, Ada is real now.” I laughed. Before the boys, we may or may have not named our kids. Her eyes widened, realizing it too.

“Who’s Ada, love?” Zayn asked.

“Erm well Annie and I named our future kids before we met you two. Like we named Annie and Liam’s, Delilah Marie Payne.” I said it without thinking, seeing the hurt on their faces. I shouldn’t have said that. “Annie, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay; I’m still naming my first born Delilah Marie. Well, if the baby daddy agrees.” She smiled big. Annie wasn’t hard to read, you can easily see when she’s hurt and trying to hide it.

I laughed. “Annie and I picked Ada Rose Malik for a girl and Xavier Benjamin Malik. What do you think, babe?” Thank God we picked names our freshman year of high school or we would have to spend forever thinking of the perfect name.

“I love them both! What if we have two boys or two girls? What will their names be?” He asked. OH YEAH HE LOVED THE NAMES!

“You know, I did not think that one through. Annie, why didn’t you think of this?” She asked me. Well way to blame me.

“Hey! One, these aren’t my babies, but I’ll still love them as if they were. Two, I never thought we’d actually meet the boys.” I said. The chances of this happening to us were a

0.000000000000000000001% chance. Who thought this would happen? Not us. Sure, we planned our wedding, blah blah blah, but I was metaphorically speaking.

“Leila, you two should’ve been more responsible. Why didn’t you use protection? You were so stupid!” Emma said. I have had enough with this. We need to be here for Leila. She’s obviously scared out of her mind alongside Zayn. Why would you make them feel worse than they already do?

“Well it’s a little too late for a lecture, Emma. Leila, I will be here through the next eighteen years to help you with these two munchkins. Don’t listen to her. Sure, you could’ve been safer, but you now will have these precious kids.” I said smiling to calm her down.

“I will help too. I might not be a kid whisperer, but I will help.” Niall said. Eventually everyone agreed to help. Zayn and Leila looked like a huge amount of weight was taken off of their shoulders.

I got up to get ready for another ‘date’ with Ed. I picked out a cute dress, it was orange on the boob area then went to a tribal print at the bottom; the bottom was short in the front, long in the back. I paired the dress with black heels. I decided to do my make up all pretty, so I did a brown smoky eye, black eyeliner and mascara. I straightened my hair, causing it to be longer than when it has its natural waves. I looked hot. I grabbed my black wristlet and headed back into the living room where everyone was. “So everyone do I look date worthy?” I asked twirling around.

“Hello gorgeous!” Harry shouted.

“Umph girl umph!” Leila yelled. The other boys whistled at me, except Liam.

“What do you think Liam?” Zayn asked. “You know her well enough to tell her your opinion.”

“You look absolutely beautiful.” He said, hurt in his eyes. I smiled at his comment. I exchanged good byes with everyone and headed in the car to meet my ‘boyfriend’.

~~~~~~~Liam’s POV~~~~~~~~~~~

Annie walked down the stairs after getting ready to go out on a date with Ed. You know in every cliché movie where the girl comes down the stairs in her prom dress and everyone swoons? That’s how it felt. My heart stopped. It hurts so much seeing her dating another guy, even if it’s fake. I have to get her back. She just brightens my day, one simple look and I feel like I’m alive again. I’ll fight for her forever, as long as I get my baby back.
