Summary:

"I can't do this"

"Why?"

"Because I have a son goddammit!!"

******

Zayn's five year old son, really likes their new neighbour now Zayn must choose between fatherhood and his love life.

******

"Fahaad Malik, I'm calling you for the last time, come down this second, or no ice cream after school" Zayn called for his five year old, who did not want to go to school today.

Little Fahaad peaked through the stairs railing, down at his father, "But Baba, Mrs Jones said that new neighbour coming today. I want to meet first, make him my friend"

Zayn sighed and rubbed his face, "Beta, he'll be here by evening, we'll meet him at that time. Right now, we have to go to school"

Fahaad pouted and ran downstairs, Zayn put him on his high chair, placed a bowl of cereals in front of him and poured milk into it, ignoring the pout his son had.

"But I want cookie and milk, you know it's my favourite"

"You had it yesterday, now eat it fast" Zayn made a bowl for himself and sat down to eat.

His phone rang and he picked it up.

"Good morning, beta"

"Morning, Mama"

"Where's my little sunshine? Is he ready?"

"Yeah, just having breakfast"

"Is it gramma? I want to talk to her"

Zayn handed his phone to his son, "Hello gramma, Baba not good today. He scold me in morning, I want to meet our new neighbour, but he don't let me"

Zayn looked quite shocked, how his son acted, he shouldn't be spending time with Louis.

"Did he now? Oh I'm going to scold him too, don't worry. New neighbours, huh, so you'll play with them?"

"Yes!! Fahaad will play and Baba cannot say anything"

"Alright, it's enough, give me back the phone" Zayn took it from his son's hand.

"You didn't tell me Mrs Jones was finally renting her apartment"

"She told me last week, and this little monster is so excited to meet them" He ruffled his son's hair.

"So, is it a family or a guy..?"

Zayn sighed, he knew where this conversation was going, "Um, it's a guy, he's a chef in a restaurant, recently started working, he's 24, the family lives in Wolverhampton, has two sisters and the rest I don't know"

"You already know too much information"
His mum giggled.

"Mama, Mrs Jones was on and on about this guy, so I had to listen"

"Who knows, he'll be your Mr Perfect"

"Mama, don't. I have only one Mr Perfect in my life and that's my son, there's no place for someone other"

"That's what you're saying for the last five years, you're 28 Zayn, you need to live your life too"

Zayn knew his mum was just concerned about his life.

He always loved kids and since he was gay, he knew he couldn't have his own. So he took a big decision in life and adopted Fahaad. He was just a baby then. But soon he became the biggest part of Zayn's life. It wasn't easy for him though.
