Blizzard Babies

Liam's POV

"Did you get the extra blankets and flashlights?" Niall asks for the third time in the past hour as he sits on the couch with me looking terrified and I'm not doing much better. I can hear the wind howling outside and I can practically feel the cold through the walls.

Today a major blizzard is hitting London. There has been warnings of power outages and multiple news cast that have gone over what to do if you were to lose power in a blizzard. It's not that though that terrifies me. I am 11 months pregnant, the babies are in birthing position and I can go into labor at any minute. All that can run through my mind is what if we lose power and I go into labor? We would lose heat as well and I fear the idea of my babies being born only to freeze to death.

It has been made clear to me that going to a hospital is not safe and even if it was the roads are probably horrible by now anyway.

"Niall, for the billionth time we have everything we could need. We have all of the supplies we would need should Liam go into labor. I have firewood that should last a week that is put in one of the closets should we need to use the fireplace. Now will you relax a little you're making me nerves," Zayn snaps at Niall as he flicks through TV channels trying to find one that actually comes in.

"Are you feeling okay, Lili?" Louis asks me as I try to get comfortable on the couch with my head on Zayn's lap and my feet resting on Niall's lap as he massages them for me to relax himself and me.

I just nod in response as I try rolling onto my side, but my belly is to big to allow that and laying on my back hurts and makes it hard to breath.

"Do you want me to make you a bed on the floor like when you were little?" Ruth asks me.

"Please, if it's too much trouble though just forget it," I reply as I give up on trying to get comfortable and take Zayn's hand and play with his fingers for a distraction.

"You're our priority Liam. It's no bother. What do we need to do?" Trisha asks Ruth as she follows my sister down the hall.

Seeing as the birth is quickly approaching some of our family has stayed behind to help. Jay, Trisha and Ruth have stayed. My mum had wanted to but with my father being extremely upset about being put on probation after his assault on me she decided it was best she didn't stay so she could keep an eye on my father and make sure he doesn't make a surprise visit.

So the people in the house include Melissa, Ruth, Jay, Trisha, the lads and myself. It's a little bit more of an audience than what I would be comfortable with but I don't complain seeing as all the people here will be playing a major role in the babies lives.

I start to drift to sleep on Zayn's lap when a sudden pain shoots through my belly making me gasp. I put a hand on my lower tummy feeling that it is hard.

"Liam what's with wrong,babe?" Zayn asks me his hand going to my tummy as well.

"I think I just had a contraction," I reply trying to get into a sitting position.

"Okay tell us when you have another so we can see how far apart they are," Jay says calmly.
