Always & Forever

Chapter 63, "Starting again"

"Well....quick birth or torture?" I asked.

"You were right. You're dilated. Congratulations Jayda, this baby is coming. Now."

"Oh thank god."

"Okay, everyone out the room other than the father please." Dr. Avery said.

"Wait. Kara....please stay too?"

"Of course. Is that alright doctor?"

"That's perfect. Okay. This baby is coming. Everyone out."

Kara stood on one side of me and Harry on the other. I was covered in sweat by this point and practically dying. I squeezed their hands hard with each contraction that came.

"Alright. Are you ready for this?" Dr. Avery asked.

"God yes."

Harry looked me in the eyes and rubbed my hair back.

Harry's POV

I can't believe this is actually happening....again. It's been a long month with Jayda and I being separated. I haven't really been myself lately but in this moment, looking into Jayda's eyes....everything feels right. Everything feels steady.

I've missed her so much and not just in the physical way. I've missed her laugh, her smile, the way she stares at the ceiling when she's in deep thought, just her overall presence. If this has taught me nothing, I know now that I'm my best self when I'm with her and I regret not treating her the way she should be treated. She's so perfect.

"Okay Jayda push." Dr. Avery instructed.

"Ahhhhh. Fudge cakes." she yelled, making us all laugh.

"You're doing great Jayda." Kara encouraged.

"There you go. Okay breathe. Taking a minor break and then big push okay?"

"Okay." she panted.

We took a quick 30 second break and then it was back to pushing. "Okay big push right here."

"Ahhhhhhh...."

"We've got a head. Your beautiful girl had a head full of her hair already Jayda. You're doing great."

"Ouuu I wanna see." Kara said, looking over. "Omg she does. She looks just like you Jayda."

"Can I loo-"

"No!" they both yelled.

"Okay let's not forget who the father is." I stated.

"Okay Jayda. One more you ready?"

"No." she answered.

"1,2,3 push."

"Ahhhhhhhh..."

The room filled with cries of a beautiful brown baby girl. She was the spitting image of Jayda. She's perfect just like her mom.

Jayda's POV

Thank god that was over. It was all worth it though to hear the cries of my sweet daughter.

"Congrats Jayda. Your healthy baby daughter was born at 10:28 on March 8th."

"She's beautiful." Kara cooed.

Dr. Avery handed her to me and I immediately began to cry. She's everything. I could feel my heart swell with so much love that I didn't even know I still had. This baby girl saved me. All of my kids did. If it wasn't for them, I don't know who I would be doing it for.

"Hi there mama. Hi. You're just the sweetest baby aren't you?" I cooed. Ah, my heart. "It's just me and you munchkin."

The nurses took her to get cleaned up and Dr. Avery did the same for me.

10 minutes later....

"Are you ready for everyone to meet her?" Dr. Avery asked.

"Yes." I smiled, holding my new baby girl.

Everyone came in with smiles that got even brighter once they saw her. I saw the kids slowly walk in as well with Harry's mom.

"Momma!" they yelled.

"Hello my loves. Would you like to see your brand new baby sister?"

"Yes please." Hendrix said.

I showed her to them and I could see the glimmer in Hendrix's eyes. Hannah was so eager to hold her. They both kissed her on the cheek and then backed up.

"Hey there Jayda. Are you ready to restart the motherhood process?" Anne asked, smiling down at us.

"I wasn't so sure at first but now....I think I am now."

"You'll do great hun. You always do."

"Well don't keep us on our toes. What's her name?" Niall asked.

I looked around at everyone and smiled. I've had my mind made up about her name for a while now, and her looks just confirmed it. "Her name is.....Jade Roseanne Styles." I smiled.

"Awwwww...." everyone said.

"Jayda- it's- it's beautiful." Kara said, getting emotional.

"Not again." Zayn said.

"Oh shut up and just hold your child." Kara said.

"That's a beautiful name Jayda. She's amazing....just like her mom." Harry smiled, kissing me on the cheek.

"Thank you." I said.

Everyone wanted their turn holding her and Kara was hogging her of course, but who could blame her. Hendrix was absolutely attached and watched everywhere she went. This little girl doesn't even know the love she is surrounded by.

hours later....

Everyone was fast asleep all over the room and it was just Harry and I up now. It feels so foreign being with him now for some reason. This is the longest I've ever gone without him.

"Are you okay?" he asked, sitting at the edge of my bed.

"Yeah. You?"

"Yeah."

"Are you happy?"

"I am. Are you?"

"I am." I smiled.

He took my hands and looked at me. If I wasn't so exhausted I would probably talk more, but it's been a long day.

"You can go to sleep. I know you're tired." he smiled.

"Thank you."

Harry's POV

Jayda drifted off the sleep and I watched as she went into a peaceful state of mind. She's happy. That's all I ever want for her.
