I was a week overdue and I was starting to get miserable, I felt like a balloon that was gonna pop any second. I was sitting up in bed, going through my phone at 2 am. "Mikey, why aren't you asleep?" Calum asked as he put his head on my shoulder, "Because I can't sleep." I mumbled. "What is Candy doing?" He asked, "She's kicking me in the ribs and it's so annoying and painful." I groaned and put my phone down, Calum wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his lap, I rested my head on his lap and looked up at him as he played with my hair, I yawned and closed my eyes, "Go to sleep beautiful." He smiled and kissed my forehead before I fell asleep.

I walked downstairs to see Michael on the couch with his hand on his round belly, "Calum, something feels weird and not a good weird-woahoh!" He gasped at the end and squirmed in his seat. "Calm down baby, we'll go see Paige okay?" I cooed and he nodded, squeaking in pain. I stood him up and he gripped onto my hand as we walked out to the car, Stella and Luna were spending the day with Luke and Paige so we would see them there. "Ooooooh." He squeaked and squeezed my hand, "Just breathe babe, you're okay." I cooed as I walked him up to the medical room, where Paige was.  She walked over to Michael and sat him on the bed, "Where does it hurt the most Mike?" She asked and he pointed to his side, taking deep breaths. "OW!" He growled and Paige squeezed his hand, telling him to copy her breathing as she began taking deep breaths and Michael did the same, "I-it hurts so bad." He whimpered out and then his eyes widened. "Paige, my-my water just b-broke." He stuttered and Paige stood him up, "Get changed into a birthing gown and I'll get Brie okay?" She smiled and Michael nodded before she rushed off. He quickly changed into a birthing gown and laid on the bed, I walked over to him and he gripped my hand, squeezing tightly. "Owieowieowieowie!" He sobbed as he put his hand on his big belly, "Shhh, baby its okay." I cooed and ran my hand through his red hair. Brie and Paige came in and Brie checked Michael's dilation, "You're only 2 centimeters Michael, it may be awhile." She sighed and he nodded, rubbing his belly in large circles.

Paige gave me a cup of water and I chugged it as a my throat was dry from sobbing, "Get up and walk around a little, it will help with the pains." Brie smiled and I nodded,  getting up and walking around a little still gripping onto Calum's hand, "That's not fucking helping at all." I groaned and sat back down, I had a weird painful feeling in my lower stomach and I grimaced. "Something weird is-woahoh!" I yelped and Paige came over, moving a stethoscope around my belly. "The baby just moved that's all, it's gonna make the contractions a little worse though." She shrugged like it was no big deal and I mentally flipped her off, whining instead and Brie checked my dilation.  "6 centimeters." She stated and I huffed in pain, "Ooooh, this one hurts really bad, hmmmm." I hummed as a contraction practically tore me apart inside and I squeezed Calum's hand. "Ca-Calum,  help meee." I whined as my contraction ended, "You're doing great baby, you're almost there." Calum cooed and kissed my forehead, "Well, I wanna be there." I retorted and rubbed my belly. Brie came over to Calum and whispered something in his ear before he nodded and walked out of the room, another really bad contraction hit me and I sobbed in pain, "P-Paige." I whimpered out and she came over to me, letting me squeeze her hand during the contraction and I huffed as it ended.  Brie checked my dilation and looked to Paige, "10 centimeters Michael." Brie smiled and took the sheet off me, Paige in between my legs and Brie next to her with a blanket. "Where's Calum?! I n-need Ca-Calum!" I sobbed as they told me to push, "He's doing something and will be back soon Mike, you have to push." Paige smiled and I whimpered, but pushed hard and screamed out in pain. I felt beads of sweat on my forehead and neck already forming and I just started pushing, Calum walked in and immediately rushed over to me, he sat behind me and I leaned against his chest as I squeezed his hand. I stopped pushing and put my head on his shoulder, "You're doing great baby." He smiled and kissed my sweaty temple before another contraction hit me and I pushed more. I felt a stinging pain and I was panting hard, already tired and it's only been a half an hour. "Mikey, you have to push harder Candy's breached." Paige stated and I pushed as hard as I could at this point, "Harder Mike." She instructed and I fell back, my breathing unstable and sobs racking my body, "I-I ca-can't!" I sobbed as I struggled to get my breathing back to normal. "Please Mikey, do it for me baby." Calum cooed and I shook my head, "N-no!" I sobbed and tried pushing a little, feeling some of the baby leave me and I continued pushing as hard as I could, which wasn't very much. I heard a high pitched cry before everything went black.

Calum
A high pitched cry filled the room and Michael's body went limp in my arms, his breathing unstable. Paige put a mask over his nose and mouth whilst giving him a heart massage, then Michael jolted up and gasped for breath, coughing a little before leaning against me. "I-is Candy o-okay?" He panted as I sat him up against my chest, Brie cut the cut cord and wrapped Candy up. "She's perfect." I smiled as Brie put Candy in Michael's arms, he kissed her forehead and her hand gripped onto his pinkie, he cried a little and I wiped his tears away, pecking his lips and kissing Candy's forehead.
