His Revenge, Her Freedom

Chapter 11- 'And something is wrong'

"If there's a question of my heart, you've got it.

It don't belong to anyone but you."

Harry POV

There isn't much that I know when it comes to pregnant women.

When Trinity was pregnant, half the time we were fighting and the other half she was in the hospital fighting for her life.

When Reagan was pregnant, she was either throwing up or yelling (but I guess that part wasn't much different from her actual personality). We usually tried our best to stay away from her because we could never tell if she was in a good mood.

When Imani was pregnant, she was the exact same which, if you know her personality, is just as bad.

I haven't had much positive experience when it comes to the pregnant people in this family. So, when Zayn called me screaming and crying while telling me to meet him at the hospital, I was completely lost on what to do. I may not know much about this stuff, but I know that she wasn't fully 9 months pregnant yet. Kadin had Ariel before she was actually due, and we all know how touch and go that was for a second. Avery shouldn't be going into labor right now, and the fact that they can't stop her from having the baby at this point, it's not looking good.

Two things can happen as I was told. One, the baby is born, stays in the preemie room for a couple of weeks to build up her strength and then there's a 95% chance that something will make her different. It may be autism, cleft palate...they just don't know. The sonogram isn't being read like it's supposed to, and apparently there's only one explanation for that.

I'm really hoping that there is nothing wrong with their daughter, but neither the doctor nor Zayn sounded the least bit positive when they told me.

The sad part is that if there isn't anything wrong with her, the only other option is that she'll die. She just isn't strong enough and they don't predict she'll make it past a couple of hours. I can only imagine how Zayn and Avery feel praying for something to be wrong with their child just so she won't die.

I know that very feeling, and it's nothing short of pure torture.

"Where are they?"

Louis walked in looking all frantic around the hospital. I had stepped out of the waiting room to tell Trinity to stay home, and I was the first person he spotted.

I wasn't even going to ask why there were dried up tears on his face.

"Avery and Zayn?" I asked, walking over to him, "Avery was taken to a delivery room and Zayn went with her. Where were you?"

"I was talking to Josh and Reag-."

"Josh and Reagan? You were having a conversation with a 5-month-old? And why was Josh there?"

"Niall needed help with her," he avoided eye contact, "Where is everyone else?"

"In the next room," I dropped the subject for now, "It's just Liam and Aspen in there now. Niall's on the way, and I told Trinity to stay at home with the children."

He nodded as I eyed him suspiciously (for reasons I'm unsure of) and followed me into the waiting room. Both Aspen and Liam greeted him when we walked in and Liam assured me that there was no further news.

We sat there for the next 30 minutes, just making small talk. Every minute or so, I noticed Louis looking down at his phone and angrily pressing buttons. I wasn't sure who he was talking to, but it obviously wasn't a very pleasant conversation. Liam noticed it too and raised his eyebrows at me, but we were both lost.
