Bed rest was as bad as being grounded, couldn’t go any where or do much except go to the bathroom, eat and to doctors appointments. But to make sure nothing went wrong Zayn took every precaution imaginable. Zayn had been chatting with his sister when he started to feel sleepy and moved his laptop over to the side and tried to get comfortable, but for some reason that wasn’t possible and hadn’t been since much of last night. After about 20 minutes, Zayn was about to fall asleep when he felt the need to pee. Groaning he got up and waddled to the bathroom just in side the door a sharp pain quick pain shot through his back and belly sending him almost to the ground. Only for Zayn to catch him self on the edge of the sink, as a cry escaped his lips.
The sound of pounding footsteps took his mind of another pain that shot through him as he felt a burst from the inside. Louis and Harry appearing at his side as he felt another pain this one he recognized, a contraction. And if that was a contraction it meant his water had just broken and he was in labor. “Zayn, Zayn what is it lad?” Louis asked taking his hand as his mind scrambled trying to make words through the pain. “The baby, the baby’s coming, you have to call Liam please?” Zayn said Harry looking at Louis a moment and giving a nod as they helped him up, Louis noticing the damp clothes and helped Zayn change as Harry grabbed the bag from the closet, called Zayn’s doctor, and Liam coming back from Wolverhampton after visiting his parents and sisters.
The familiar song played as Liam answered “Ello?” He listened for a few minutes at Harry before everything hit him like a rock. “Wait. Zayn’s in labor… yeah I heard you the first time I just wanted to be sure, where are you taking him? The clinic, OK I’ll be there as soon as I can, there is a bad 4 car accident on the M4 but tell him I’ll be there as soon as I can. And Harry, Tell him I love him.” With those last words Harry hung up as he climbed in the back to be with Zayn as Louis drove. “Just relax Zayn we’ll have you there soon, Liam said to tell you he loves you.” Zayn just nodded at the words muttering a soft OK, as Harry gave him his hand fighting a contraction. “Hang on, its going to feel like a longer ride but I’m going as fast as I can OK.” Louis said, still fighting Zayn only nodded as Harry tried to soothe him.
Louis had been right, the drive was only 15 minutes but it felt like an hour. Settled in a room Zayn was ready for Liam to get there so he could have the baby. His doctor hurried into his room with a chart and said “Zayn you need to have the baby now.” Zayn felt streak of fear run through him as he said “I can’t Liam’s not here.” The doctor shook his head. “Zayn I’m sorry I know, but you don’t really have a choice. If you don’t have the baby now you’ll lose it.” That fear was even more powerful, after trying for so long then being so careful he could loose his baby if he waited. Zayn snapped out of his daze and asked to doctor. “Can Louis and Harry stay with me?” The doctor gave a nod as the nurses finish preparing the room.
Zayn took each hand and focused on delivering his baby, praying between each push Liam would make it. Zayn felt like his body was trying to rip apart when the doctor said “Zayn this should be it, the last few pushes lad.” Zayn hated the idea of more pain but he just swallowed hard taking a deep breath before giving what little of his dwindling strength and energy he had. “Beautiful Zayn stop just for a second son!” The doctor said moments later Zayn falling back against the pillows trying to catch his breath as a nurse gave him water and wiped the sweat from his forehead before the doctor spoke again. “Alright now, the head is out this is the last one!”
With the thoughts of losing his baby from a while ago motivated Zayn as he took a breath using the very last of his strength to push releasing the shoulders. The doctor lifted the baby up giving Zayn the first look at his daughter. She was laid against his chest as she was dried off, her nose and mouth cleaned out to help her breath better. “Look at her, she’s beautiful!” Louis said as he looked down at the little girl, her skin light like Liam’s with dark brown eyes that could have come from Zayn or Liam.
A few minutes later, Zayn in his private room, Harry smiled at the little girl still in Zayn’s arms and said “Liam should see her, even if he’s not here.” Zayn looked up asking “What do you have in mind?” Picking up Zayn’s phone Harry snapped a picture and wrote a quick message before sending. Liam groaned as he just sat there the crew still cleaning up the mess, two EMS coming through taking people way, and the traffic still at a stand still when the sound of text came through. He looked at the picture reading. “We made such a beautiful child together, We love you so much, get here soon Daddy! :)”
Looking at the picture, Liam felt tears welling up in his eyes she was here, their daughter was here. Liam let his tears fall as he continued to look at the picture responding “I love you both more than you can imagine, I will be there very soon”Wanting to cry more a honking horn snapped Liam out of his daze, the wreck had been cleared and the traffic was moving again. Liam hurried to the hospital and to his new family.
Walking into the room Zayn was sitting up holding the little girl out like a light from her long journey. Zayn only smiled as he looked up at Liam hurrying over to kiss him. Louis and Harry only smiling as Zayn said softly “Would you like to hold her? No one else really has except me.”
Hey looked at his band mates, asking “Why didn’t you two hold her?” Louis just smiled answering “We wanted you to have the honors of holding princess Amira, first.” Liam smiled and scooped up his little girl as Harry and Louis just smiled as Harry said “Can you believe that’s going to be us in 6 months?”
