-Evelyn's POV-

Kyla walks in with two glasses of tea as I set up the movie. The guys are away playing golf somewhere I didn't really listen. They look hot while playing golf but I couldn't care less about the sport. I grab the remote and turn the TV on as she gets cozy under her blanket, "So...if Lando Norris came up to me...I would," I joke as she nods her head fully understanding. We continue watching the race as the two of us talk about everything happening soon on everyone's channels. I think Chip is thinking of doing a Come Dine With Me but Kyla and I are on a team. However, most of the conversation consists of us talking about how hot F1 drivers are. 

"I see a slight resemblance to Chris but mostly in the ears," she says, referring to Lando, making my eyes widen and mouth drop. She's not wrong. Oh god....do I have a thing for ears? We talk throughout the entire race and she makes a joke and I feel like I peed myself before my eyes widen, "Kyla," I whisper as she looks at me laughing. I grab her arm as I try to figure out what's happening.

Her eyes look down following where I'm looking and she starts nervously giggling, "My water broke," I whisper freaking out, "Chris is three hours away and my water broke," I complain.

"I'll call him. It's your first kid...or kids it will take a while," she says running to grab her phone. I start nervously crying as I think about everything we were taught in pregnancy class. Chris was always the one who listened. These little shits are two weeks early. 

Kyla comes running in the room with the baby bag and she immediately pulls me into a hug, "You are the strongest person I know. Everything is going to be okay," she assures me as I nod my head with a light smile. She grabs a towel as I move so she can clean up the couch. We don't have to leave for the hospital until the contractions are closer together, "The guys will be here as soon as they can. They are going to meet us at the hospital," She tells me. I nod my head trying to keep my breathing normal. I'm properly panicking. 

By the time the contractions are closer together, she sees the look in my eyes and tells me it's time to go. She holds onto my arm as I get my pregnant ass off the couch. She's the only other person besides Chris that I would want by my side. We have talked about this moment so many times before I just didn't think the babies would be coming when we were thirsting over racers. She ordered a car cause she still doesn't trust her driving skills on UK roads. I have kind of gotten used to it but with my stomach, I can't even fit behind a wheel. The driver looks terrified when we get into the car, "I need you to hurry," She says making him shakily turn the key to start the car, "Nah, you have some time but if you could get us there safely that would be great," She jokes as the driver gives us a week laugh. It's not every day you drive a pregnant lady to the hospital...or maybe it is. I don't know how single mothers do this cause everyone talking to me is a giant blur. Every time the door opens I hope it's Chris. Kyla is by my side holding my hand as they check my dilation every once in a while. 

"They aren't responding to texts but they should be close," she tells me as I turn my head trying to hide how much pain I'm in. It's like they are curb-stomping my body and doing flips to piss me off. I squeeze her hand and she twists it in pain as I let go trying not to scream.

I hear Chris's voice down the hall calling my name and Kyla walks to the door. Her face softens when the door is pushed open and he's running in. He's immediately by my side taking my hands as he kisses my forehead, "I'm so sorry," he whispers as I smile the first smile in hours.

"You're here now that's all that matters," I assure him as he brings my hand to his lips and keeps them pressed to his mouth, "And I had Ky by my side," I point out as she smiles leaning into Harry's side. He's holding a tiny teddy bear that says Baby Mama on it. Another doctor comes in and the other two leave the room so we can have some privacy. 

When I get the all-clear my stomach drops in my chest, "I can't do this," I whisper as Chris looks down at me from where he's standing.

"Listen to me. This is going to be one of the hardest things you'll ever do but I'm not leaving your side. We are going to have a healthy baby boy and a baby girl shortly. I love you so much. You can do this," he tells me as he brushes my forehead with his thumb. I lean into his touch and feel the nurses around us getting the bed ready to move for birth.

I feel a hand touch my shoulder and see Chris walking in with two baskets that the babies are in, "Fuck, how long have I been sleeping?" I ask looking around. Harry and Kyla are cuddled up on the floor as the chair next to me is pulling up to my side. 

"A couple of hours. You did amazing," He whispers pulling the baskets over for me to see the babies, "They are both perfect. I told the nurses we needed time for the names and I thought now would be perfect," he says slowly sitting beside me. He picks up our baby boy and tears are already falling from my eyes. I held him for a little after giving birth but I was so exhausted I don't remember much besides the pain.

"He has your ears," I giggle staring at his tiny features, "He's beautiful," I cry. 

I see Kyla stirring in her sleep and moving to bury more into Harry's side, "Should we wake them?" Chris asks. I shake my head knowing this should be a decision we make before waking them up.

"What about Charles we could call him Charlie Dixon?" I ask as he moves to sit against the headboard so we can look at him clearly. He kisses the side of my head and says it's perfect. I frown when he takes the sleeping baby from my arms and puts him back to rest. When he picks up our baby girl my heart swells seeing the way her eyes spring open.

"I was thinking Riley Dixon...Riley Kyla Dixon," he says making me look at him with a bright smile. 

"How long have you had that name picked?" I ask.

"Since I saw her for the first time," he says as I lean my head on his shoulder, "This isn't a dream right. I'm holding our baby girl while our best friends are asleep in the corner," he says as I nod my head totally understanding his feelings. 

"We have a family," I mumble against his arm as I stare at our baby girl.
