December
"Can you believe he's six months old?"
Louis let out a laugh as he crawled after Freddie on the floor.
"Nope. The little monster is fast as shit. "
I tried to keep up with them as I videotaped Louis and Freddie .
"So, should we go shopping for more toys for Santa to bring?"
Louis looked up at me with the biggest smile on his face. I swore I'd never seen a man who loved to go shopping for toys like Louis did. I think he liked the stuff more than Freddie .
"Do you even need to ask that, Haz? Hells yeah, my little buddy needs more stuff. Don't forget. I want to find something really cool for Ryder."
"As long as it doesn't make too much noise. The drum set you got him drove my Gemma and Mark insane. "
I saw the smile spread across Louis face, and I knew he bought that thing just to piss off my sister .
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Louis jumped up to get it.
"Olivia ! What brings you here?"
"Hey! Just wanted to come for a visit. "
Olivia walked into the living room and immediately went down to the floor as Freddie crawled up to her and got in her lap.
"Oh my gosh, you're getting so big, my little man!" She looked up at me and smiled.
I knew something was wrong. Her beautiful blue eyes were...dead. I hadn't seen her sad in months. Josh had left Lynda at the end of August after he'd had enough of her crazy bullshit. Olivia got a job teaching first grade at the elementary school in London while Josh's furniture business was growing in Dublin . I knew they tried to see each other as much as possible and Josh was ready to move the business to London just to be with Olivia .
"Is everything okay?"
Just then, the phone rang.
Louis ran into the kitchen and picked it up.
"What? Right now? You have to take him to London , Liam ! No, not Dublin ...don't drive...meet me at the main house. Dude, calm down. We'll be right there. "
He hung up the phone, looked at me, and then to Olivia on the floor.
"Niall's water just broke. "
Olivia and I both let out a scream, and then Freddie screamed and clapped his hands. I reached down and grabbed Freddie . It's about time! Niall's was overdue and ready to pop any day.
"Let me change his diaper really quick," I said.
I grabbed a few things for Freddie while Louis and Olivia were getting baby food ready in the kitchen. We had a plan. When Niall went into labor, Jenny and Aaron were going to watch Freddie for us. I grabbed my cell and did a fist pump when I saw I had a signal. I called Jen, told her about Niall , and said we would drop off Freddie in a few minutes.
By the time we got to Emma and Garrett's place, Emma was sitting on the porch with Niall .
Olivia and I ran up, and I fell to my knees next to my very best friend, who had a huge pregnant belly. I could look at Niall from behind and never known that he was pregnant, but when he turned around, he was all baby in the front.
"Hey, baby, how are you feeling?" I asked.
"Fine, Emma here is distracting me with a story, so I'm okay. "
Emma who rolled her eyes, and I let out a giggle.
"Niall needs to take some deep breaths, guys. Can you stay with her while I go in with Garrett? He's about to beat the hell out of my grandson. "
"Ah...okay. " Olivia said.
I looked at Niall as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Niall, are you okay?" I asked.
"No, I want to have the baby in Dublin , but I don't think I'm going to make it, so we have to go to London . "
"Alright, babe. Why are we just sitting on the porch? And why is Garrett about to beat the hell out of Liam ? I think we should probably be on the way to the hospital, honey, don't you?"
Niall let out a laugh. "Yeah, I think we should. . . oh shit, here comes another one. "
I looked at Olivia. "Can you go into the house and see what the fook is going on?"
Olivia nodded and went inside.
"Niall , baby, just take deep breaths. Come on, let's walk over to Liam's truck. Can you get into the truck?" I pulled her up and held on to her as we made our way to Liam's truck.
"Yep," Niall said between breaths.
"Is your bag in the truck, Niall ?"
"Yeah, I put it in there the other day because I was worried I'd forget it. And Emma called Greg, he's gonna meet us there."
Sounds like Niall.
I helped him into the truck. "Do you need a pillow or anything?"
"Nope, I just need Liam . Please, Harry , can you go get him? I can't breathe. "
I smiled at the thought of how only Liam could calm Niall down.
"Okay, baby, I'm going to go get his arse right now. He'll sit back here with you while Louis drives. Olivia will follow us. "
"Sounds good, but I really think we need to hurry. "
I jumped out of the truck and started to make my way back to the house. Louis came walking out with Liam , and I stopped dead in my tracks.
"What the hell happened?" I asked, confused.
Liam was holding a bag of ice to his head. When he pulled it away, he already had a huge black eye.
"Stupid bastard passed out and hit his eye on the table," Garrett said as he threw his head back and laughed his arse off.
Liam turned and looked at him.
"Thanks, Gramps, thanks a lot. "
"Okay, boys that's enough. Liam get in that truck with Niall. " Emma said. She turned to Olivia . "I called Karen and Geoff , and they're leaving from Dublin and will meet us at the hospital. "
After we got Liam in the truck, Louis and I jumped in.
Niall turned to Liam . "Are you sure you're okay?"
Louis looked over at me and smiled. I'd never known Liam to be nervous or scared of anything. I thought back to when I'd gone into labor and how Louis reacted. Louis reached across and grabbed my hand.
I turned around to see that Niall had his head on Liam's chest. He was softly singing to him. My heart started pounding. Niall was about to have the baby he so desperately wanted.
As Louis drove to the hospital, I looked out the window at the beautiful country side. Then, I thought about Olivia .
Something was very wrong, and I needed to talk to her as soon as possible. Right now Niall and the baby were my main concern.
"Liam , will you please stop singing?" Niall asked.
"Sure, baby, but I thought you loved it when I sang to you. "
Louis and I looked at each other.
"You're driving me fooking nuts with that song. Just please stop. "
I let out a giggle. Louis smiled as glanced at Niall and Liam in the rearview mirror.
He reached over and turned his iTunes on. Keith Urban's "A Better Life" came on.
"Yes! I love this song. " Niall called out.
Louis looked straight ahead and let out a small laugh.
"Let the fun begin," he said as he squeezed my hand.
