Nick walked across the living room over to the spare room, he knocked gently on the door, "Danny you up yet?"
Daniel lay on his bed and groaned slightly, "Go away."
"You've been in there for 3 days now."
"So!"
"Speak to her Danny. Try sort things out!"
"I don't want to talk to her, the little slag!"
"What've I told you about swearing Danny."
"Fuck off Dad!"
Nick opened the bedroom door, frowning, "Don't dare speak to me like that Daniel. I'm trying to help you for gods sake!"
"You don't know when to shut up. Why don't you just fuck off and leave me alone!"
"Danny you can't sit in here mopeing around all day."
"I can and I am."
Nick sighed and walked out, shutting the door behind him. Zoe walked up to him and slipped her arms around his waist, "He'll come round. Just leave him to cool down for a bit."
Nick nodded and sighed, "I can't believe she'd do something like that."
"I know. Especially with Louis!"
"I know, Charlie went ape shit at Louis, he's kicked him out."
Zoe shook her head and rested it on his chest. Nick held her closer and kissed the top of her head, "I can't do this Zoe."
Zoe looked up at him and frowned slightly, "Do what?"
"Be a dad again, I'm rubbish at it. What if this baby ends up like Danny."
"What do you mean 'like Danny'."
"Always angry. If I'd have been there for him when he was younger instead of swaning off with nurses and other women, he wouldn't be like this."
Zoe shook her head and sat on the sofa, "You can't keep blaming yourself, his mother should've been there for him."
"I never let her. I stopped him from seeing her."
Zoe shook her head again and patted the sofa next to her. Nick sat down and rested his head on her shoulder, "I used to go out at the weekend and leave him at home on his own, then come back with a different woman in the early hours. He was 7 years old, he used to walk in my room when I was with these women. What sort of a dad lets his son do that!" Nick sighed as tears fell from his eyes. Zoe looked at Nick in shock.
"I'd heard you had a reputation for sleeping with different women but I never knew you did that. Poor Daniel."
Nick sighed and wiped his eyes. Zoe sat back from Nick slightly, "So go on. What else did he have to witness as a child?"
Nick sighed and muttered something to himself
"I didn't quite hear that Nick."
"He walked in on me and his auntie, Karen's sister."
Zoe shook her head in disbelief, "Do you know what? I really don't believe you sometimes Nick!" She stood up and walked to Daniels room, knocking once before opening the door, "You alright Dan'?"
Daniel nodded and sat up, his eyes red and puffy from where he'd been crying. Zoe sat on Daniel's bed and held her arms out to him, Daniel shuffled over and put his arms around Zoe before breaking down in tears again. Nick sighed and watched them from the door.
A/N: Sorry that was a really shit chapter but it's gonna get better I promise. Just need a few filler chapters first :)
