Second Chances

*Zayn’s POV*

I finished moisturizing Ana’s body until there was nothing left to rub.

I know that she still might be upset with me but I’m trying to hopefully, earn her trust back.

I fucked up.

Going drinking with Kat was fucked up on my behalf.

I did overreact when Ana told me she was having twins.

But I just don’t understand why I was so angry.

I made the little babies.

Why did it affect me so hard?

“Um Zayn.” Ana says bringing me out of my thoughts.

“Yeah?”

“Can you put my socks on my feet? It’s hard for me to reach.” She giggles.

I chuckle and kneel down to help her.

Ana stands up when I’m done.

I can’t help but just stare at her bump.

Everything has happened so fast.

Last month, I thought I was having one child.

Now, I’m having twins.

Am I really ready to father two children?

I better be.

I stand up and walk behind Ana who just finished pulling some shorts on.

She is still in her bra.

I pull her back lightly and hug her from behind, caressing her belly.

Ana rubs my arms and soon raises them letting them fall onto my neck.

“Let me put my shirt on.” She laughs.

“No. Stay like this.” I say licking her ear lobe.

She laughs and pulls away.

“We have five months left.” Ana says rubbing her stomach.

“I’m waiting to see.” I say with my voice drifting and slaying down on her bed.

Ana sighs and walks over to me.

She sits on top of me and begins to straddle me.

“I’m nervous too.” She says.

“We’ll get through this.” I say.

She rolls off of me and lays beside me.

I give her a kiss on her temple.

I wrap my arms around her and run my fingers up and down her back.

After a while, she falls asleep.

I carefully get up.

I begin to walk out her room and notice her calendar.

Looking at the date, she’s five months pregnant.

There’s no five months left.

There’s four months.

My kids will be here before I realize it.

I sigh and walk out.

There is so much to do.

So much to prepare for.

I need to get Ana and I an apartment.

I want us away from our parents.

We need to learn on our own for raising our kids.

The babies need car seats, strollers, clothes, toys.

Lots and lots of diapers.

Baby bottles. Formula.

This is all too much for me.

This is going to be a challenge.

But I’m here to stay.

I’m going to beat this challenge and I’m going to be a great dad.

And hopefully, a great husband.

I haven’t really thought of marriage, but Ana gives me second thoughts.

I just need to stop losing her trust and hurting her.

I just wish that I had someone to talk to.

Someone who can listen to me.

I need my Mom.

I run back inside and leave a quick note for Ana.

Hopefully she doesn’t think that I’m lying.

I get in my car and race to my Mom’s house.

I hope she can help me out some.

“You’re having twins?” Mom repeats shocked.

I nod my head, still watching her reaction.

“I didn’t come here to ask you for help Mom. I don’t want it. I just need you to listen to me.” I say.

“What is it son?” Mom asks politely.

“I’m going to move Ana and I in our own apartment. I’m going to raise my kids with her. And I’m…..” I stop.

“You’re going to do what Zayn?” Mom asks.

“I’m going to marry her.” I whisper.

Mom’s eyes widen.

She doesn’t respond.

I should have expected this.

“Are you sure about this?” Mom confirms.

“I’m positive Mom. She changed my life. I owe her my life.” I say.

Mom puts her face in her hands.

I hear sobs after a while.

“Mom?”

Mom looks up at me with her tear-filled eyes.

“My son is growing up.” She cries.

“Aww Mom.” I say getting up and hugging her.

“I never would have imagined this happening to you. I thought who would’ve stayed around with Harry. I really thought that you were going nowhere. “ She cries.

“I told you Mom. Ana changed my life.” She's different. She's not like other girls. I really love her. I have never felt like this.” I confess.

Mom cries even more.

“I’m so happy that you found her. I never expected any of this from you.” Mom says.

I hug Mom tighter.

“You guys are going to have a beautiful family. You are such a handsome young man. And Ana is such a beautiful girl. I can only imagine what your kids will look like.”

“Thanks Mom.”

My Mom was so impossible at times.

“Zayn.” Mom says.

“Yeah.”

“You have my permission to marry Ana. Just ask her mother too.”

I smile.

“Of course Mom.”

Mom places her hand out front.

She begins to pull her wedding ring off of her finger.

She hands it to me.

“I never took my ring off. Even when your father left us, I never took it off.” She says.

“No Mom. That’s yours. I can get Ana her own.” I say refusing.

“Please son. Take it so you won’t be like your father. Make this ring bring back memories of your father.”

“What do you mean?”

“If you really love Ana, don’t ever leave her the way your father left me.”

I pause and stare at the ring.

I take it from my mother’s hand and clench it in my own hand.

I will never be like my father.

“Thank you so much Mom.” I say placing it in my pocket.

“You’re welcome son. Make her happy. She deserves it.”

I engulf my mother in another hug.

“You’re going to be just fine.” Mom says.

I kiss Mom on her cheek and turn go upstairs.

I pack some clothes so I can bring over to Ana’s

Mom walks me outside to my car.

She waved me off as I pulled out of the driveway, and she continued to do so until I was out of sight.

I shook my head and grinned.

I loved my Mom so much.

Her, and Ana are the only two women that I need to worry about.

Or if one of my babies is a girl.

Reflecting back on my unborn children, I think of our future.

I may not be ready, but I have time to prepare.

I think it’s about time that I grow a pair.
