Forty Three - Irresistable

When Katie went into labor, Louis and I rushed to the hospital to meet her and Niall there. Louis called Harry and Liam when we got there, sitting in the lobby with Katie's family. Harry jumped on the next flight to Miami from London, excited to be a Godfather. Liam was with Bear for the week so he promised to come down in a few days.

Niall insisted on being present for the birth, no matter how long it took. Twelve hours later, she was still in labor and Harry came through the doors into the lobby.
To our surprise, my bandmate Jack was with him.

"Jack? What are you doing here?" I went over to hug the two men when they came in. I hadn't seen them in months.

"Oh, well actually I'm here with Harry..." He blushed, rubbing the back of his neck. Harry came over and took Jack's hand in his own.

Harry blushed as he told Louis and I. "Yeah, we've um been together seriously for about four months now." Jack blushed as Harry squeezed his hand.

"Nice going, Haz!" Louis patted Harry's shoulder with a big smile. Probably the biggest smile I'd seen from Louis in months. He had missed his best friend dearly since the tour ended.

"That's so great!" I smiled, hugging Harry and Jack again. "I'm so glad to see you both so happy!"

We sat for another six hours before we got the news. Oliver Landon was born 8:37pm at 5lbs 1oz and his sister Lilah Olivia was born six minutes later at 5lbs.

I was the fourth to hold Lilah and the fifth to hold Oliver. Harry and I were giddy godparents and Louis was having his best day in a long time. He loved children and I could see in the way he held Lilah and then Oliver that he missed Freddie.

I thought Louis and I starting a family for the rest of the week, wondering what if I would make a good mother or if I was mature enough. I decided I definitely wanted to be married to Louis before we would take a step like raising children.

Once Katie and Niall were able to bring the twins home at the end of the week, Louis insisted on going to visit often. He said it was to give them a break from their newborn twins, but I could tell how badly he wanted a baby.

I went to my doctor to find out my chances of having children, and they gave me a better hope than I thought I had. They said that my one surviving ovary was working "just fine" and I had about 48% chance within the year, which was about half the probability of a normal woman my age. All I knew is that it wasn't impossible, and that's all I needed.

"Louis?" He was sitting on Niall & Katie's couch cuddling Oliver while I held Lilah. They were nearly a month old now. Louis hummed to show he was listening, still looking adoringly at the baby in his arms. "Do you still have my ring?"

The room fell silent for a minute. Louis looked up at me suspiciously. "Of course, why?"

I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and looked up into his blue eyes. I knew what I wanted, I just had to say it. "Will you marry me?"

Louis gently placed Oliver down in the bassinet. "You told me you weren't ready for that."

"I'm ready now." I placed Lilah down beside her twin brother. Niall and Katie were taking a well-earned nap in their bedroom, so it was just us. "I've been thinking about it a lot and watching you with Niall & Katie's babies-" Louis closed the gap between us, pulling my hands into his.

"Cassie, I don't need a baby. Please don't feel that you need to give me one."

"I want one. With you."

"Cassidy-" He seemed worried. He had every right of course, I had backed out on him before. But that was of course because of the Brianna situation.

"Louis, I'm asking you to marry me. I'm not going anywhere. I feel like I've more than proved that the last few months." Tears started dripping down my face. I shouldn't have brought it up. Louis doesn't want me.

Louis quelled my thoughts as he caught me in a deep kiss, pulling away moments later. "Darling of course I will marry you."

"I love you, Louis."

"I love you, Cassidy." Louis pulled me into a passionate kiss, his arms wrapping around my waist as I wrapped my own around his neck, pulling him impossibly closer.

I heard Katie and Niall awe and giggle from the doorway. "I knew you guys would sort it out." Niall teased, his arm around Katie's waist. She was doing really well post-birth and so were the twins. She was back to her normal size and everything after only a month.

Harry had flown in last week again for Lilah and Oliver's christening and we were officially named their Godparents. Our boyfriends sat beside each other in the pews watching the ceremony with Niall and Katie's families. Liam was able to make it to the christening and he met the twins just a day prior.

Louis chuckled and pulled his wallet out of his pocket. The ring emerged from his wallet and he gently slid it onto my finger for a second time. "Forever?"

"Forever."
