Living with One Direction (Hariana)

-152-: Birth of Ellie Cheryl Styles

June 6, 2024

And another. Ariana sat up in bed and rubbed her belly. Looking at the clock, she noticed that it was 5:58am. She had been experiencing contractions since before she went to bed but assured Harry that until they were 3-5 minutes apart or until her water breaks, she didn't need to go to hospital.

They were about 8 minutes apart right now and lasting 30-40 seconds so she got out of bed, making her way downstairs to make a cup of tea. Ariana got downstairs and turned on the kitchen light, and putting the kettle on.

"Mama?" Ariana heard Alexandria whisper groggily behind and she turned around. She was rubbing her eyes and smiling at her.

"Hi princess, what are you doing up?" Ariana asked holding her arms out and she walked into them giving you a hug. Ariana lifted her up, being careful of her bump and poured out her tea.

"I couldn't sleep mama. I want Ellie to come," Ariana nodded and carried her tea and her daughter into the sitting room.

"She'll be here soon, darling. She's sending mama signs that she's coming," she nodded and snuggled into Ariana on the sofa. Another contraction spread through her and her leant forward to relieve the pain a little.

Six hours later, her contractions were every 4 minutes and she was hugging the kids, kissing their foreheads and being rushed out the door by Harry whilst Gemma babysat the kids and Michel looked after Trevor.

"Oh god Harry, hurry up!" Ariana moaned through a contraction. She was trying to think positive thoughts like her labor with Dylan, but everything was 10x more painful this time around.

"It's okay baby, you'll be there in 10 minutes. Breathe through the contractions my love. Breathe," Harry said as he placed his hand in Ariana's and allowing her to squeeze it to death.

As they arrived up to the hospital, Ariana was panting as a contraction spread through your body. Dr. Gomez had already been called in and she was instantly shown to a private maternity suite.

As the midwife that had helped deliver Alexandria and Dylan came to check Ariana out, she told her that she was a solid 5cm dilated which disheartened her a little. But she also told her that now it should fly in seeing as it was her third child.

"Transition should be taking place anytime now so be prepared for your water to break and the minute long contractions," Ariana nodded as another contraction spread through her.

"Harry, I can't do this. It hurts so bad, more than the others," Ariana cried and he nodded.

"I'm here baby. I'm here and I love you, please don't worry," Ariana nodded and squeezed his hand. She felt a gush of pressure releasing and looked down onto the bed noticing that her water had broke. She stood up and changed into her own pink gownie.

15 hours in labor so far and she was close to giving up and getting an epidural. "It hurts so bad Harry. I think I need the epidural," he nodded and called a nurse. "Please, I want an epidural," Ariana moaned to the nurse as a contraction spread through her.

"I don't know how to tell you this Mrs. Styles but you're too far along in your labor to receive the epidural now. You were almost 10cm when I last checked you. Almost ready to push," the midwife said. Ariana nodded, part of her was glad that all labors would be the same but the other part disheartened by the news.

"I-I need to push!" Ariana groaned as the nurse went to leave the room and as a contraction spread through and she felt the familiar need to push. It was painful, but at the same time, she just wanted to have their daughter out of her and lying on her chest.

"Let me go get Dr. Gomez, try not to push unless you absolutely need to," Ariana nodded as the midwife ran out.

"We'll have Ellie here soon my love. We'll be a family of 5 instead of 4. And Lexi and Dylan will love her," Ariana nodded and tried to resist the urge to push, but she just couldn't.

"Okay my love. Everything looks great. Just push when you feel the need to until I tell you not to ok?" Dr. Gomez said as she walked into the room dressed in scrubs with the midwife behind her.

"Okay, on the next contraction, don't push, you need to stretch around her head," Ariana nodded and the familiar burning sensation hit her.

"No, I want it to stop! Please, stop!" Ariana screamed and Harry wiped her head with a wet cloth.

"Push on the next contraction, Ariana!" Dr. Reynolds said excitedly. Ariana did as she asked and she felt her head exit her.

"Come on, she's beautiful sweetie. Some head of hair on her. You're doing to well. A couple more pushes and she'll be here," Ariana nodded and pushed once more. And again. And again. And finally the shrill cries exploded making her smile.

"Hi Ellie, how are you? Oh aren't you beautiful," Ariana cooed to the baby as she was placed on her chest while her gownie was open.

"She's beautiful darling, you did amazingly as always," Harry said mesmerized and Ariana smiled.

"We make beautiful babies," Ariana winked and he kissed her lips lightly.

"That we do Mrs. Styles," he replied and kissed Ellie's tiny head.
