Harry and I were enjoying a quiet evening at home when my phone rang, jolting us out of our peaceful bubble. I quickly glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Luke.
His voice trembled with panic and frantic excitement as he blurted out the words that would change the course of our night, "Niall! Thank fucking god you answered. Ashton went into labour. Baby is coming! LIKE NOW. We're at St. Alisson Hospital. I think i'm gonna pass out!"
"We're on our way."
My heart raced with a mix of adrenaline and anticipation. The moment we had all been eagerly awaiting had arrived. Our friends were about to welcome their little one into the world, and we had to be there for them.
"Harry," I said, my voice filled with urgency, "Ashton's in labor. We need to go to the hospital right now."
Excitement and nervousness washed over me as I grabbed my coat, the realisation sinking in that we were about to witness the miracle of new life. As we rushed out the door, I couldn't help but think of the incredible journey that brought us here.
The drive to the hospital felt like a blur of anticipation and nervous energy. Thoughts of the tiny bundle of joy entering the world filled my mind, mingling with memories of our own journey towards this moment. I squeezed Harry's hand, finding solace in our shared excitement.
"I'm gonna be an uncle," I grinned at him.
OOO
As the time drew near for Luke and Ashton to welcome their baby into the world, the room was filled with a mix of excitement and nerves. Luke, usually calm and composed, seemed to be on the verge of panic. His hands trembled, and sweat glistened on his forehead.
Harry and I stood by Luke's side, offering our support during this momentous occasion. I could sense Luke's mounting anxiety, and my heart went out to him.
"Luke, take a deep breath," I urged, my voice laced with concern. "You've got this. Ashton needs you to be strong right now."
He turned to me, his eyes wide with panic. "What if something goes wrong, Niall? What if I can't handle it? I don't know if I'm ready!"
I grasped Luke's trembling hands, trying to convey reassurance. "Luke, you are capable of so much more than you realise. Trust in yourself and in the love you have for Ashton. You'll find the strength in that."
Harry, always quick to offer words of comfort, chimed in. "Luke, remember why we're here. We're about to witness the miracle of life. You've supported Ashton throughout this journey, and now it's time to bring this baby into the world. You can do this."
Luke took a shaky breath, trying to steady himself. "You're right. I need to be there for Ashton, no matter what. I can't let my fears get in the way."
Ashton, sensing Luke's distress, reached out and clasped his hand. "Luke, I believe in you. We've faced challenges before, and we've always come out stronger. Our baby needs you to be present and focused. You've got this, love."
Luke's eyes met Ashton's, and a flicker of determination sparked within him. "I won't let you down, Ashton. We'll do this together, just like we've done everything else."
The room fell into a tense silence as Ashton's contractions grew stronger. The monitors beeped in rhythmic patterns, echoing the anticipation in the air. Luke's panic threatened to resurface, but he fought against it, focusing on the love and strength within him.
Niall and I stood close by, holding each other's hands tightly, offering silent support. We watched as Luke stood beside Ashton, guiding him through each wave of pain with gentle words and encouraging touch.
And then, after what felt like an eternity, the room erupted with cries—a symphony of both relief and elation. Luke's eyes widened, his heart bursting with a mixture of emotions.
"Is that...our...oh my god!" Luke stuttered, his voice filled with awe and wonder.
We rushed to his side, our eyes filled with tears as we caught sight of the newborn baby. The room seemed to hold its breath as Luke cradled the tiny life in his arms, his hands trembling with tenderness.
Ashton's tired but radiant smile mirrored the intensity of the moment. Tears streamed down his face as he reached out to touch their newborn child.
"He's here," Ashton whispered, his voice filled with overwhelming love. "Our beautiful baby."
As the cries of their newborn filled the room, Ashton's exhaustion and pain were evident on his face. Luke, his eyes filled with awe and adoration, leaned down to place a gentle kiss on Ashton's forehead.
"You did it, love," Luke whispered, his voice filled with pride. "You're incredible. Our baby is here."
Ashton, still catching his breath, looked up at Luke with a mix of exhaustion and elation. "I couldn't have done it without you, Luke. Your strength and support carried me through."
Luke's eyes shimmered with tears as he cupped Ashton's cheek, his voice filled with heartfelt emotion. "You are the strongest person I know, Ashton. I am in awe of your courage and the love you have brought into this world."
Ashton's gaze shifted towards Niall and me, a soft smile gracing his lips. "Thank you both for being here. It means the world to us."
I squeezed Harry's hand, a warm smile on my face. "We wouldn't have missed this for anything, Ashton. You and Luke are family to us, and we are honoured to share in this special moment."
Harry nodded in agreement, his eyes reflecting the love and support we all felt for our friends. "You two are incredible parents. This little one is so lucky to have you."
Ashton's tired eyes filled with tears of gratitude. "I sure hope so."
In that tender moment, surrounded by the miracle of new life, our bonds of friendship grew stronger. We shared a connection, a shared joy in witnessing the beginning of a new chapter in Luke and Ashton's lives.
As the room filled with the whispers of congratulations and the sound of the baby's coos, Harry leaned closer to me, whispering softly in my ear. "Niall, seeing Ashton and Luke with their baby, it only deepens my desire to start a family with you. The love and happiness in this room, I want that for us too."
His eyes sparkled with anticipation and love as he squeezed my hand.
I leaned into him and murmured, " I want it too, Harry. You have no idea how happy it would make me."
He pecked my temple and then with a cheeky grin smirked, "Let's get started."
