~Zayn's POV~
He didn't answer; he couldn't take his eyes off the boy. "Zayn... whose child is this?"
I didn't go into a long explanation. I just leaned down, bringing my son closer to the man who had missed so much. "Liam," I said softly, "meet Grandpa."
My father's breath hitched. He looked at me, then back at the boy, his lips trembling. "Did you just... did you just call me 'Grandpa'?" He spoke the word as if it were something fragile, something he was afraid to break just by saying it.
"I did," I replied firmly.
A choked sob escaped his throat. He looked at me, his eyes searching mine for the truth. "You have a child? My God, Zayn... you have a son." He flicked a glance toward Evric, then back at me, his mind clearly spinning, trying to piece it all together. "How…? I don't…"
"It's a long story," I interrupted gently. "We have plenty of time for that later."
