Is She My Daughter? (A Zayn Malik Love Story.)
Chapter Twenty-Seven
~ Ariana P. O. V.
"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! It's Christmas! Wake up! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Wake up! Wake up! It's time to open presents! Wake up!" I hear Annabelle yell. I open my eyes and see Annabelle poking Zayn's cheek. I smile. "Daddy wake up. I want to open my presents now." Annabelle whines. I sit up and sit her on my lap. "First let get you dressed up. Go to your room and get what you want to where while I'll try to wake up daddy. Okay?" She nods. "Merry Christmas Annabelle. I love you so so much." I say to her. She smiles at me. "Merry Christmas Mommy. I love you too." She kisses my cheek and hugs me. I hug her back.
We both pull away. "Now go on. I'll wake up daddy okay?" She nods and hops off my lap, running to back to her room.
Without looking at Zayn, I say. "Zayn, I know you're awake."
"How did you know?" He asks. "I saw you smiling while Annabelle was poking your cheeks." I say to him. I get up and walk to my closet. I hear the bed shift and soon I feel Zayn wrap his arms around my waist. I turn my head; trying to look at him. "Yes?" I ask. "Can we just stay in bed all day and just cuddle?" I shake my head. "I would love too, but our daughter wants to open her presents. And your family are probably here." "I don't think they're he-" He gets cuts off by Annabelle voice screaming 'Grandma and Grandpa.' "They're here. Now come on and get dressed. Everyone is probably here too." He lets go and walk over to his side of the closet. I get my outfit and walk into the bathroom. I strip off my clothes and quickly change, not wanting Zayn parents and everyone else waiting on us. Ariana's Outfit
"Santa's your homie?" Zayn asks as I walk out. I nod. "Of course he is." Zayn chuckles. We intertwine our hands and head downstairs where everyone is probably is. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" I yell really loud. Everyone shuts up and stares at me. I smile and wave. "I like your shirt but I thought I was your homie..." Jenna says. "You're my main." I wink at her. She laughs and walks off to Austin. I let go of Zayn's hand and walk to everyone hugging them and saying 'Merry Christmas.'

Everyone opened their presents. Annabelle and I are the last ones. All the boys come into the room with two very big bags in their hands. I look at them confused. "Zayn what's all of this?" I ask. "These are Annabelle's presents! MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY GIRL!" Zayn shouts. Annabelle squeals. "Yayy!" She runs up to Zayn and hugs him and the rest of the boys. "Zayn this is to much. Why did you bought all this presents? " He looks at me. "I missed the first five years of her life. I missed her first birthday, first walk, first Christmas, first everyt-" I cut him off. "You didn't miss her first day of school." He smiles. He walk up to Harry, whispers something to his ear and walks toward me. I look at him confused. I see Harry grabbing Annabelle's hand and taking her with him and Star who is talking to Gemma. Oh I forgot to mention all the boys family came. They, except Zayn's family, arrived this morning and are staying here until New Years.

It's already 8 o'clock PM and it's starting to get dark but the Christmas lights hanging on the trees are surrounding us making it bright.(Lights) I sigh. "What's wrong?" Zayn asks. I don't look at him but keep my eyes up at the sky. "Nothing." I reply. "Then why did you sigh?"
"I'm happy. Today was a perfect day." He smiles at me. "Oh I forgot to give you your last present." He pulls out a square box and opens it, taking out whatever was in the box. I garbs my hand and places the item on my hand. He gave me a locket. "Open it." I do what I was told. I open the locket and inside is a picture of Zayn and I when we were 15. My arms are around Zayn's neck and he has his hands are placed on my waist. We're kissing. On the other side of the locket there's a date. A date I'm very familiar with. April 21st, 2008. The date we started dating. In the bottom there's word and it read, 'I loved you yesterday. I love you still. I always have. I always will.'
I'm speechless. I don't know what to say besides that this must have cost a fortune! "Zayn this is amazing and I love it but it must have cost a fortune!" He shakes his head. "I really don't care about the money. I just wanted to give you the best Christmas present." I smile at him. "Can you help me put it on?" I ask him. He nods as he takes the locket. I moved my hair on the sides. He puts the locket on and clips it. I turn around smiling. "I love you Zayn. Thank you." He smiles down at me. "I love you, too love." We both lean in for a kiss. Zayn soft lips meets mine. Our lips move in perfect rhythm.
We pull away as the cold wind hit us. I shiver. As of cue, Annabelle comes running out with a big blanket. "Hi mommy. Hi daddy." She hands Zayn the blanket. "Hey sweetie. Do you want to stay out here with us?" I ask. She nods. We walk to our swing-bench. We wrap the blanket us.
This is perfect. Just my daughter, my boyfriend and I. Our little family.
"Daddy can you sing for us?" Annabelle asks Zayn. "Sure love. Ari, what song?"
"Let Me Love You." He smiles. He clears his throat and begins singing.
'Baby I just don't get it, do you enjoy being hurt?
I know you smelled the perfume, the make-up on his shirt
You don't believe his stories, You know that they're all lies
Bad as you are, you stick around and I just don't know why'
He continues singing. I said this a million times, but his voice is amazing. It truly is. I look at Annabelle who is looking at Zayn, smiling widely. She loves him so much and loves spending time with him. She's daddy's little princess.
****
Zayn finishes. Annabelle and I begin clapping. "Daddy I want to be like you and mommy." Zayn chuckles.
"Mommy. Daddy. I love you." Zayn and I both smile. "We love you too. So so much." Zayn says. Annabelle smiles widely, her beautiful eyes glowing. We snuggle close to each other.
This is the best Christmas ever.
