The trip was great, but honestly, I'm ready to get back to work.

You and me both. We needed that break but by time it came to an end, I've been itching to get back home and get back to Khai.

Zayn relaxed as soon as he realized it was Gigi. He leaned back against the railing, clutching the bars, but he felt relaxed in the company of someone he was familiar with. "Yeah?" He asked gently.

He was done recovering from his hospital scare, but since he had been given the all clear, he still felt like he was being too cautious with old connections and his anti-social ways. "Ah still feel like ah could be doin' more," he admitted. "I mean, before Khai, I get why you wanted to get out there more."

Gigi nodded and turned away from the railing to face Zayn. "You really should be resting and taking it easy. But you were never a great patient, you're too stubborn. You know that?' She chuckled.

"Would it be too overprotective for us to call and check up on Khai? I miss her too much and I wanna hear her voice." She smiled, reaching for her phone. She took a seat on a lounge chair, patting the spot next to her for him to join her.

Zayn was looking over the edge of the deck, staring at the water as the breeze wrapped around him. The trip so far had been everything he needed, and he was already feeling an inkling of inspiration as he watched the waves. He reminded himself that he was meant to be relaxing and not working, so he pushed himself back from the rail with a sigh.

"Shit, sorry," he exclaimed when he suddenly bumped into someone who had been standing behind him. "Got a little lost in thought," he explained once he realized it was Gigi. "You okay?" // @gigiotr

Gigi was ready to soak in the sun as much as she could. She knew she'd be busy as soon as she got back home and it was important to soak in all of the time she could to rest and recharge. R&R was beyond nessecary for the blonde.

She quietly walked up behind Zayn, prepared to scare him but smiled as he caught her before she could attempt it. "No harm done, I'm good." She chuckled, standing next to him with her arms over the side of the boat. "How nice is this? I really needed it."

I need a new hobby to relax. Does anyone know a good book or like a yoga pose?

@otrrpstarters

I'm the wrong one to ask about finding a hobby. I feel like I'm way too busy for anything new these days. Yoga might be helpful for me though. Maybe we can learn that together on this trip.

Zayn nodded, setting down the cups into their position, and bringing over the bowls of pasta and salad to the table. The setting felt familiar and different at the same time. It was no wonder why, but it still felt strange.

"I can do that," he assured. "Help yourself."

He started serving Khai her portion before serving himself, mindful of Gigi as she made her plate. "You 'ave to be honest if you don't like it," he warned both women jokingly. Cooking was a hobby of his, so he did appreciate honest feedback even if this was a dish he knew never got him any complaints.

Gigi nodded at his reply, thankful that he wasn't upset about the nanny idea. It was something she was against for a long time but with things going downhill with her mom, it seemed like the most logical thing to do for when they were both out of town. It wasn't like it was something she was going to do often. Just something to give them both a peace of mind.

"It's delicious, as always. Right babe?" She asked Khai who only nodded in response, mouth full of noodles. "I think that's a yes." Gigi added, a chuckle falling as she watched Khai eating. "This is nice, actually." She added, the feeling of awkwardness disapating as they ate.

LILI REINHART & DANNY RAMIREZ LOOK BOTH WAYS (2022)

@zaynotrmalik

#musings.#feat. zayn.

As she grabbed the plates, he grabbed cups for each of them, including a cup with a lid for Khai. She was still at that clumsy phase so better safe than sorry. "What do you want to drink?" He asked, pouring a water for himself and some juice for Khai.

"Cool, she has my number, yeah?" He was definitely an overprotective dad, but given his lifestyle, he had to be. He was just grateful he could trust Gigi's judgment since his recent tour was taking up a lot of his time. Zayn smiled at the pair as he made them plates, knowing their preferences since family dinners used to be a regular thing.

"I have a drink that I brought with me." She added, placing her iced matcha on the table at her usual spot. A feeling that felt all too familiar and foreign at the same time.

"Yeah, of course. She has all the information necessary. Maybe stop by the house before we go on the trip so you can meet her? I know we'd both feel better knowing who's watching Khai." She added, helping Khai up in her seat.

Zayn never imagined having a daughter so young, but now that he had her, he couldn't imagine not being a dad. He put her down, letting her run over to the toys as he checked on the food. He was listening when he heard Khai beg Gigi to say, and he knew she would give in.

"Uh yeah, can ya grab some plates?" He asked gently. Despite the breakup, he had to admit it was nice to share a meal as a family again. "It's salad and pasta," he stated, putting the finished pasta on the counter next to a full salad bowl.

"Yeah, of course." Gigi added, grabbing some plates and Khai's divided plate. "That sounds perfect." She answered, setting the table for the three of them. Things felt awkward but at the same time it felt normal. The three of them sitting down together, it'd been a while but that was there normal for a few years. Until her mom managed to ruin things. Something she didn't let herself dwell on but it was hard to not think about when they were together.

"Khai is covered when we go to Greece. Thankfully we found the best nanny ever." She added, as Khai came running to the table. "It smells so good, doesn't it, baby?" She smiled as Khai climbed onto her seat.

Zayn was moving around his kitchen, preparing a meal for his daughter since he wanted her to be energized for their plans. A cheesy pasta and a salad— safe and healthy foods for Khai. As he was shutting off the stove, he heard a knock and was grateful for the perfect timing. Quickly, he answered the door, engulfing his daughter in a hug as she ran up to him. "Ah hope so," he responded easily, glancing up at Gigi. He picked up Khai, holding her as she held onto his shoulders. "Um, come in," he offered, stepping out of the doorway. "I made enough for everyone if you haven't eaten," he offered, since the house smelled like garlic and herbs, and he knew Khai liked to see them getting along.

Gigi smiled as she watched the two. At least if she had a daughter before she was expecting to, she was glad it was with someone like Zayn. Supportive, always putting Khai first and there for them. That was all that she needed.

"Nah, I have some things I have to get done anyway. Khai give mommy a hug." She called to the toddler who was now playing with some toys. "No, mama stay!" She called, running to hug Gigi, leaving the toys behind her. "I want you to stay." She added, her lip dropping into a pout. "Okay, well how do I say no to that?" She asked, a chuckle falling from her lips. "Go put your stuff away, okay babe?" She asked, as Khai ran to get her stuff. "Looks like you'll have more company after all. Do you need any help?" She asked Zayn, as Khai took care of her stuff.
