Niall seemed to be so much more relaxed after they gave him the epidural. My mum and dad made it, and they were in the waiting room with Gramps and Grams.
Of course, Gramps and dad laughed their arses off when Gramps retold the story of me passing out and hitting my eye on the table.
I tried to explain many times that I'd tripped and got knocked out when I hit the table, but it didn't matter. Gramps changed the story every time he told it, and he'd already told three nurses, a doctor, and one intern.
A young guy walked into the room with one of the nurses. I smiled at both of them while they walked up to Niall and looked at me.
"Mr. Payne , Mr.Payne . "
"Please call me Niall . "
"Niall , it is," The young guy said.
He couldn't have been but a few years older than me.
"Liam ," I said as I reached out and shook his hand.
"I'm Dr. Horan. "
Niall let out a laugh. "Hey, that's my maiden name!"
I took a step back. "You're the doctor? Like as in the doctor who's going to deliver little bear?"
"Little bear? Is that what we call the baby?" Dr. Horan asked.
"How old are you, dude? Have you ever even delivered a baby before? Are you even out of medical school?"
"Liam!" Niall said as he gave me a dirty look.
Dr. Horan let out a laugh. "Well, Liam , I'm thirty-three years old with three kids of my own. Yes, I've delivered my fair share of babies. And I've been out of medical school for five years now."
Niall shot me another look.
I sat down in the chair and just stared at the doctor.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me. You just look really young. Please forgive me. And let's face Niall situation is a little different."
He let out a laugh and looked at the monitor.
"Of course I've had more experience with women but I'm no stranger to men giving birth."
"Niall, can you feel the contractions at all?"
"I can feel pressure. "
"Liam can you go with the nurse and get prepped for a C section."
After an hour and half we heard the first beautiful cries of our little bundle of joy.
"Well, your little bear is a boy. Congratulations, you all. " Dr. Horan said as he held up our baby for us to see.
When I looked at Niall , he was crying. I felt the tears rolling down my face as I looked over at little bear. He was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my life.
Dr. Horan asked, "Mr. Payne, would you like to cut the umbilical cord?"
Speechless, I just nodded my head with a smile.

A nurse took the baby over to a table to clean him up. While the doctor was fixing up Niall , he kept looking around him to watch the nurse was doing.
After the doctor was done with Niall , he helped him to sit up.
The nurse came over, holding my sweet baby boy.
"Dad, your son would like to meet you face to face. "
I held out my arms as the nurse placed my little bear gently in them. He looked up at me and yawned. My heart was pounding hard in my chest. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. He beautiful blue eyes embraced me heart and soul. He was just staring up at me. In that moment, I knew that he would always trust me to take care of him and to love him unconditionally. I'd die before I'd ever let anyone or anything hurt him.
Niall was now sitting up all the way, and I looked over at him. He had tears running down his face. I turned and slowly put our baby boy in his arms.
They just stared at each other, like they knew what the other was thinking. I was in awe of the exchange. The baby didn't even cry. He just stared up Niall .
"Hello, Bear Grey Payne. I've waited a long to time meet you, baby boy," Niall said.
Niall looked up at me and smiled.
" I think we should stick with Bear."Niall said "Ya,know people are gonna think we're nuts but I think your right baby." I say kiss his head.
Then, he turned to the nurse. "When can we all go home?"
"We want you to stay at least overnight. If all is going well and he's eating enough, you all can go home tomorrow. "
***
Later that night after everyone had finally left, Niall and I sat on the sofa with Bear sound asleep in my arms.
"I didn't think they would ever leave!" Niall said with a laugh. "I'm exhausted. "
"Are you hungry, sweetheart?" I asked.
I continued stroking Bear between his eyes and down his nose. He must have liked it because it put him to sleep fast.
"I'm starved, but you're not going to find anything open in London this late at night. Oh wait! McDonald's! I could really go for a Big Mac...and large fries...oh, and a giant-arse sweet tea. "
I laughed and leaned over to kiss him. I stood up and gently put Bear down in the bassinet. Then, I turned and helped Niall up and back into bed.
"You got it, baby. One Big Mac and large french fries coming up. "
I turned toward the door to leave, Niall called out,
"Sweet tea! Don't forget the sweet tea, Liam !"
