The Accident// N.H

82

  After Eleanor ran to get the doctor she grabbed both of the babies so that I could have the third baby. Lou and Perrie grabbed my legs and pushed them up to my chest.

  "Alright you are fully dilated so let's meet your third baby." The doctor said. When the contraction hit I grabbed Niall's hand and pushed as hard as I could.

  "Your doing great." Lou said.

  "The baby is breech so it may be harder to get out." The doctor said. The contraction hit and I pushed down as hard as I could. It felt like the lower half of my body was going to split in two.

  "AHH GET OUT OF ME." I yelled. I could feel the baby start to slowly come out.

  "Your doing great. Give me another great big push." The doctor said. I put my chin to my chest and pushed as hard as I could. I felt like I was out of energy.

  "Come on your almost there. Keep pushing." The doctor said. I was ready to collapse from exhaustion.

  "I can't. I am out of energy." I said. I could feel Niall squeeze my hand with the hand I was not crushing in my hand.

  "Yes you can. You almost have the baby out. You have to get the shoulders and head out and you get to meet your baby." The doctor said. I got up all the energy that I possibly could and pushed. I felt the shoulders slide out.

  "Come on you can do this." Eleanor said. I felt the pain of the contraction tear through my stomach and I pushed. I felt the head come out and I felt relieved. The doctor placed him in my chest and he was smaller than the other two were.

  "Congratulations it's a boy. Father would you like to do the honor of cutting his cord?" The doctor asked. Niall cut the cord and the doctor wrapped Ishmael up and took him to get his measurements. I fell back onto the bed totally exhausted. Eleanor handed me one of the babies and tried to hand Niall the other one but he shook his head.

  "Why don't you want to hold the other baby?" I asked him.

  "Because my hand is sore. You squeeze really hard." Niall said. I saw his hand and it looked a little purple and a little swollen.

  "You might want to get it looked at it don't look that good." Eleanor said. She handed the baby to Perrie when the doctor came back in with Ishmael. I handed Lou the baby I had and held my arms out for the baby.

  "All of the babies are healthy like we want. Felicity weigh 8 pounds and Olivia weigh 7. Ishmael is a little under what we would like though he only weighs 4 pounds 11 ounces. We want to keep him here until he weighs at least five." The doctor said.

  "How long do you think that will be?" I asked the doctor.

  "Well I think it might be in a few days. Most babies gain a few pounds in the first few days after they are born. I will say by the end of the week they will be home. I am going to let you rest now. Push the call button if you need anything." The doctor said as he was leaving the room.

  "Wait actually I know that you deliver babies but can you take a look at his hand. I think she might have squeezed his hand too hard and hurt it." Eleanor said.

  "Yeah I can. Let me see your hand." The doctor said. Niall held out his hand for the doctor.

  "I don't think it is broken but you may want an x ray just to make sure. I can send another doctor in here to look at it who is specialized in bones because like she said I specialize in delivering babies." The doctor said. He left the room and a different doctor came in.

  "So I hear that I need to come look at a hand because it might have been squeezed too hard while a mother was having her babies." The doctor said. Niall nodded and held his hand out.

  "I am going to get it x rayed because if may be broken or dislocated." The doctor said. She led him out of the room so that it could get x rayed.

  "That is not good if it is broken or dislocated. He has to play the guitar when he goes back to performing." Perrie said.

  "Yeah I kind of feel bad. I didn't know that I was holding his hand that hard." I said.

  "It's not your fault. You were pushing out your babies. If anything it is his fault for getting you pregnant in the first place." Lou said. I agreed with her and Ishmael started crying.

  "You might need to feed him. I will go get him a bottle." Perrie said. She left the room and came back with a bottle. I put it in his mouth and he started drinking it. Niall came back in the room and sat on the bed beside me.

  "So what is it?" I asked him.

  "I don't know yet. I have to wait for the results of the x ray." He said. Eleanor came over and handed Niall one of the girls. He held her with his good hand and had his hurt hand laying on my leg.

  "Wait I got a question which girl was which." I said. Everyone looked at me.

  "Niall has Olivia. They put a pink hat on her. I have Felicity. They put a purple hat on her." Lou explained.

  "Okay it's good you kept track of that because of that because I didn't." I said. The doctor came back in the room.

  "Okay so your hand is not broken but she did dislocate two of your fingers. We are going to give you medicine to numb your hand then we will but the fingers back into place. We will put your hand in a splint to keep the fingers in place while they heal." The doctor told him. He handed me Olivia and stood up off the bed. The doctor pulled a tray over to him and put everything that she needed on it.

  "This will sting then you won't feel a thing." She said. She numbed his hand and I looked away when she put his fingers in place. After she was done she moved the table back and he sat beside me and took Olivia.

  "Alright that's done. You may want to ice it and take some pain meds for the next few days to help with the pain and swelling." The doctor said. She left the room leaving us alone once again. I got a call and I saw it was from Louis. I picked it up and I didn't hear people screaming in the background.

  "Hey we wanted to see how you were doing and ask of Ishmael is there or not yet." Louis said.

  "Yes he is here. He arrived like fifteen minutes ago. Where are you guys I don't here the fans in the background like I should during your performance." I said.

  "Actually we changed the show up a bit. Instead of 5 seconds of summer performing before us we talked management into letting all of us perform together so we could get the show over faster so we could come see you faster. We just finished." Louis told me. I heard people arguing in the background.

  "Louis who is that I hear arguing in the background?" I asked him.

  "Oh that is Liam arguing with Paul over who is going to drive us to see you." I laughed at them.

  "Why are they arguing about that."

  "Because Paul want us to drive there on the tour bus so that we could all go at once but Liam said to drive there in cars because the tour bus would attract too much attention."

  "I agree with Liam the bus will attract to much attention. Just drive here please." I said. Louis told the guys what I said then he hung up.

  "I guess the guys will be here soon." I said putting my phone on the bed. I yawned because I was tired and I looked down at the baby.

  "Aww look she has blue eyes." Niall said. Olivia opened her eyes and looked around. We sat in the quiet for a while enjoying how quiet the room was before everyone else came.
