Changing For Her {Zayn Malik}

"Callia," said a familiar voice as they nudged my sides.
"Go away," I grumbled as I hugged my pillow tightly, " I want to sleep."
"But Isa wants to play," said a young voice, jumping out of bed now fully awake, my eyes widen in suprise at who stood before me.
"Belle!" I squealed in excitement as I grabbed her and hugged her tightly, "I missed you so much," I said as I placed sloppy kisses all over her face.
"Where's Jess?" "He is downstairs with Dad," she said in the most adorable voice.
I picked her up and carried her downstairs. Arriving in the living room, I saw blonde head of curls running towards me. "Callia, I missed you." he said while hugging my feet.
I bent down and placed him in my arms, "I miss you too Jess," I said while ruffling his hair causing him to whine.
Shortly after, my Dad entered the room, while laughing at Belle and Jess, who were arguing about who I missed most. "Good morning sweetie," dad said as he sat on the sofa.
"Morning dad," I could tell he was very happy to see Belle and Jess. "How did they get here?" I asked, I was surprised my mum allowed them to come here after she was thrown out of my dad's house.
"Your mum dropped them off early this morning, and said she would be back around sunset to pick them up," I know my mum didn't mean what sh said the other night but it still stung.
"Ok, so what are you going to do today?"
"I hve to work today so I was wondering if you could babysit them today," he asked
"Sure, I'd love to, after all they are my sibings," this would also be a chance for us to catch since we haven't seen each other in while. "Can I carry them to the water and bring Zayn along?"
"Yeah, just be careful, you knoe how kids are always wondering off," I nodded my head and went into the living room where Jess and Belle were watching Dragon Tales.
"Jess, Belle I have something to ask you two," I said as I sat them on my lap.
"Do you want to go to the water park with me and my friend Zayn?" As soon as water park left my mouth their eyes danced with excitement and they started squealing and rambling on and on about what they will see and do when they got there causing me to laugh.
I went up to my room and texted Zayn. A few seconds later I got a reply and he said he was going to pick us up in about an hour. I showered and got dressed in a white t-shirt, acid wash jeans and white high top sneakers.
Turning the corner to the living I overheard my dad talking to Belle and Jess, "You know you two and your sister are the most important people in my life." I awed silently as he hugged them both tightly. The divorce had taken a huge toll on my father and not to mention being separated from Jess and Belle.
"I'm going to miss you both so much when you go back home this evening," dad said as he stared down at the bundle of joy infront of him. I noticed tears threatening to fall so I decide it was best if I entered now.
"Ok Jess, Belle go put on your shoes and wait for me at the front door,"
I turned my attention back to my dad and paused, "Dad I know this is hard for you but you have to be strong, if not for you, for them."
He nodded then got up and left not before saying goodbye to Belle and Jess.
"Ok, Zayn is going to be here any minute now" " And please be nice," I warned the two. They both nodded and started blabbering about if Zayn was nice or who he'll like more.
The doorbell rung and they stopped what they were doing and rushed to the door. When I arrived Zayn was being attacked by them and gave me the help me look.
"Ok guys, let Zayn breathe," I said tugging at Belle eho was now latched onto Zayn's foot.
"No," she whined, "I want Zayn to hold me," crossing her arms. I glanced at Zayn and he said it was fine.
We then headed towards Zayn car and strapped them both in, then went and took our seat at th front. Zayn leaned over a kissed me on my lips causing Belle and Jess to cover their eyes and scrunch up their noses.
Arriving at the park, Belle told Zayn she wanted to see the dolphins. Jess took my hand and followed behind them.
Suddenly there was a small tug at my wrist making me look down to see a nervous-looking Belle. "Belle, what's wrong?" I asked quietly as she fiddled with her fingers.
" I wa-nt Zayn to car-ry me but I'm afraid to ask," she stuttered keeping her gaze on the ground.
I bit my lip to stifle my laughter as it was funny to see how nervous she was when it came to Zayn. She has known him for what, an hour and she is already attached to him.
"Do you want me to ask him for you?"
"Yes!" she exclaimed then quickly covered her mouth while her cheeks redden at her sudden outburst.
"Ok," I said as I glanced at Zayn who held Jess against the glass showing him the different types of fish. Zayn was great with kids and he'd be a great father someday.
"Zayn," I called out, he came over and waited for me to continue, "Belle wants you to carry her, I think she is jealous you were with Jess and not her," I whispered and just on que, Belle was behind me peeking at Zayn.
"Isabelle, I don't bite," Zayn said as he approached her. We then went to see the clowns where as we had to leave immediately because Belle was crying because she was afraid of clowns. After that we went over to the slot games where Zayn won a big white teddybear for Belle and I won a baseball set for Jess.
It was now 4:30 and Belle and Jess had now fallen asleep. Buckling them into the backseat, Zayn and I sat down. I turned to Zayn and out of nowhere a question came to my head and before thinking I asked him
"Zayn, do you want kids?" "No"
I nodded my head and said "But you are great with kids," He looked at me and smiled "You would be a great mom, you are terrific with kids," obviously referring to the night I was playing with Shamia and Shayne.
The rest of the car ride was silent, when we arrived home, Zayn helped me get the kids out of the car and into my room before kissing me goodbye. After he left I made something for me to eat and settled on watching Mocking Jay Part 1.
Halfway through the movie, there was a knock at the door disturbing the silence. Hesitantly, I got up and made my way to the door. Right now I was scared shitless, then again who wouldn't a defenseless girl all alone in a house with only two sleeping children.
Cautiously I twisted the doorknob and I could feel my heart about to leap out of my heart. When I saw who it was I let out a breath of relief, it was my mum. There was an awkward silence between us before I spoke, "hi mum," as soon as I spoke her lips tugged upwards obviously suprised I still considered her my mother after what she said the other night.
"Hi Callia, I'm here to pick up Isabelle and Jess," I was hurt, the little hope I had that she would talk to me was knocked out completely.
"Ok, come in," I said ushering her into the living room where she sat on a sofa. You probably think I'm crazy for being nice to her after what she did but I just couldn't be angry with her, after all she is still my mother and without her i wouldn't be here, "I'm going to wake them up,"
I was about to leave but someone's hand pulled me back, "Callia wait," my mum said causing a smile to form on my face, there was a shrt pause before she spoke," I'm sorry for what I said the other night, I didn't mean anything I said. I was angry and I just lashed out at you. I'm so sorry, words can't even describe how soory I am. I was hurt to see that your dad moved on and that the Laura woman was taking my place. I hope you can forgive me but if you don't I'll understand just know that I love you and always will," by now tears were pouring out of both our eyes as we held each other and listen to our cries.
"Mum I already forgave you," I honestly said, for as soon as she said those harsh words to me I knew she didn't mean them for she wanted to hurt me as much as she was hurting, " I understood how you felt so I couldn't blame you, yes your words did hurt but I soon realized you didn't mean them."
Few minutes after Belle and Jess entered the room, "Mommy!," they both exclaimed as they ran up to mom and hugged her. "Hi kids, ho was your day?"
Isabelle was the first person to tell mum about her day and how Zayn and I kissed in front of her causing mum to raise her eyebrow.
Someone nudged my side and I looked in the direction and saw my mum smirking at me, " who's the lucky guy?"
"His name is Zayn, you saw him the other night you were here," I said, she then looked at me and wrinkled her eyebrow as if she was thinking back.
"Oh I remember him," she said, "you've got a hot one," she winked causing me to laugh. Sometimes I wonder how old my mom think she is. She looked down at her watch and her eyes widen.
"Callia we have to get going now it's getting late and I don't want to be stuck in traffic," she got up and went to the front door and slipped on her heels. "I want to meet this Zayn of yours," I nodded my head and kissed Jess and Belle on their cheeks and watched as they settled into the car.
When they were settled, Mum rolled down the window and I waved at them as they disappeared out of sight. Sighing I went inside and made a cup of tea then heade to bed.
