Carrier

Good News

Liam's POV

"Can we talk about how cute my new goddaughter is?" Niall says aloud as he types away on Twitter posting a picture of Elisa with it.

"Elisabeth Anne Styles, the newest member of the 1D family," Louis reads posting the same picture on Twitter as Niall of our little Elisa.

"Elisabeth Anne Styles, 8 lbs 20 in & healthy Liam healthy. Thank u to those that helped deliver her," Harry reads tagging those that were there when Elisa was born. I smile fixing her baby carrier and helping her settle into it. I do up the proper straps and kiss her little head. 

Jeremiah sits on the hospital bed watching me work. I tuck a blanket around her and drape another over over the carrier not wanting the cool February air to nip at her skin.

"Are you ready?" Louis asks taking my hand and helping me settle in the wheelchair. Harry takes Elisa lifting the baby carrier with ease. Niall picks up Luke off the chair after getting his shoots and coat on him. Jeremiah is picked up by his Grandma Anne. 

"After drop you and the babies off we're going to Zayn's hearing. My mum and Trisha are staying with you at the house. Remember what Dr. Ada and the doctor said. Take it easy and rest. That wasn't a normal birth. You're going to need time to recover," Louis reminds me as we make our way down the hallway with Daniel, Paul and Paddy joining us. 

"I still think I should go to the hearing with you. He's my husband as well," I argue hating that I am going to miss something that will decide Zayn's fate.

"He doesn't know Elisa has been born yet and that is not a way he should find out. You need to be resting and Elisa needs you there so she can feed. Not to mention it would be a little too much to bring three babies into a court," Harry reminds me as we near the exit.

I sigh knowing he is right. I still feel drained and Zayn seeing Elisa or I without my swollen belly and not being able to approach us would not be a fair way for him to find out Elisa was born early. 

"Be prepared lads there are a huge group  outside anxious to see the victims the gunmen, catch a glimpse of the Miracle Baby and the Carrier father that delivered on the bathroom floor," Paul warns us making me sigh. Of course there are people out there why wouldn't there be? It's not like they were going to give us a break because of the attacks. 

We quickly move out the door and into the swarm of fans and paps. As soon as we are out there are questions being yelled out and flashes of cameras. The twins start crying and I watch Louis flip them off and telling them to back off and that they're scaring the babies.

Harry is careful to keep Elisa's carrier angled away from them. Anne and Niall are careful to keep the twins away from the grabbing, careless hands waiting for outside. Startling me one of the paps make a grab for my arm and latches on. Daniel shoves him away and Louis helps me get his hand off my arm. The area he grabbed hurts and is bleeding from where he had dug his nails in. Louis' eyes are now a freezing blue and furious.  

Nearing the car Paul opens the door and I am helped out of the wheelchair and into the car. Harry goes into the very back taking Elisa with him where he straps her seat in. Anne hands me Jeremiah and I strap him into his proper seat while she straps Luke in. 

It takes way longer than what I would have liked to get out of there, but once we do I am able to breath a sigh of relief. 

"It's okay, Luke. It's okay, baby," I try to comfort my son beside me trying to distract him with toys and funny noises. Louis is trying to do the same with Jeremiah, but it is doing little good. Both the twins are crying and squirming in their seats. The flashing of the cameras, the loudness, the coat, the seat, and their shoes making them cranky. Their crying makes Elisa cry in the back and Harry tries to calm her without unbuckling her from her car seat.
