Sincerely, Yours....(Sequel to Dear future husband)

~Niall's pov~

By the time the plane landed in London, I knew that Rosemary would be nearing the end of labor, and starting the delivery. I whipped out my phone, and called Ashton. "Hey, Niall. You landed early." He said, and gave me directions to the hospital. "I've been there before, Ash. I'll be there soon." I told him, as I started the walk to the airport. Rosemary had driven me to the airport the day I left, so I don't have a car. "Is that Niall?" I knew it was her, I would always know her voice. "Can I talk to her?" I asked, and hopefully she heard. "Where are you?!" She squeaked, and I frowned. "I'm on my way. I promise I'll be there soon, Princess. Are you ok?" I ran through the front door, and started asking the receptionist about her. "Where is Rosemary Finch's room?" I asked, pulling the phone away from my ear.

She looked at me like she was confused. "There is no Rosemary Finch here, are you sure?" My stomach jumped up to my throat. "What?" I asked, running a hand through my hair. "What about Horan? Rosemary Horan?" She smiled, meaning she found it. "She's here. So you must be the lucky father, huh?" I nodded bashfully, and she snickered as she gave me the room number.

I ran through the hallways, dodging doctors and nurses, and cart full of tools, until I skidded to a stop in front of her room. I knocked on the door, and waited. Ashton opened up the door, and grinned when he saw me. "Come in." He whispered. "Princess?" I called, and she beamed when she saw me. "Ni!!"'she said happily. I gave her a kiss, and rubbed her tummy. "I'm so sorry, I couldn't be here sooner. I left as soon as they called." I told her, and she nodded.

I'm so happy he's finally here. I feel like I can finally have our daughter now that he's here. The doctor came in, and did another check up. "You're almost done, Rosemary. Once your water breaks, it's time." I felt the butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. I must've whimpered, because Niall leaned down to kiss my forehead. "You've done great so far. I'm so proud of you, Princess." I was still nervous, and I was shaking. "But what if I do something wrong? I'm so scared." Luke smiled. "You'll be ok, Essey. I know you'll be fine, and little Scarlett too." My heart was still doing backflips, but I managed to smile at him, though it probably looked more like a grimace.

Niall held my hand the entire time, from when my water broke, to as the doctors and nurses helped deliver our baby. I let go of his hand, feeling even more exhausted than before. "Ni?" I asked weakly, my eyes closing. "Yes, Princess?" He replied, sliding into the hospital bed next to me. "I'm nervous." "I know." He said. He pressed a kiss to my lips, and the ring on my finger started spinning as Niall played with it. "I love you." I whispered, before drifting into a sound sleep.

I gave her another kiss, before sliding out of the bed, and sitting in a chair beside Luke. "Thanks for being here... Since I couldn't." I said with a grimace. Luke nodded, before looking over at the sleeping Rosemary. "She's my best friend, it's like instinct to help out one another. There was no way I would've refused." He added. Even though his words were confusing, I still understood them. "I'll watch over her now. You should go and get some rest." I told him, motioning out the door. "You deserve it." Luke nodded, and shuffled out of the room, and we were alone. I turned down the lights, before settling into the chair next to Rosemary's bed once again.

I dozed off until a few nurses came in, one of them holding my.... Our baby. I beamed, and slowly took her from the nurse's arms. The baby was asleep, and was wrapped up in a soft blanket. I smiled down at her, my daughter. I'm a dad. "Mr. Horan?" I looked up at the other nurses, and they smiled expectantly. They were holding a copy of Scarlett's birth certificate, and I motioned for them to place it on the table next to the bed. The nurses left shortly after, and I snuggled Scarlett to my chest. She was more beautiful than I would have ever imagined she'd be, and I held her close.
