~Nantam's POV~
"Nicki!" I warned. He was being ridiculous, but I knew his lecture style was rooted in protection.
"What?" Nicki threw his hands up, genuinely exasperated. "You should all stop acting too simple. I hate it."
"It's not that easy the way you're putting it," I told him. "This isn't some casual date you can ghost. It involves a child, which complicates everything legally and emotionally."
"How is it not easy?" Nicki challenged, pacing again. "She's clearly taking advantage because Zayn is nice to her and manipulating him. It's not fair. Okay, let me ask you this: Did she show you the baby picture? Any proof that shows she really has this baby?"
Zayn shook his head miserably. "The only picture she showed me was a picture when she was pregnant." He looked at me, needing my support. "But Nantam confirmed she really had a baby, Nicki. And Meera is not the type to lie. If there's no baby, she won't use that to get close to me."
