Test Subject (Harry Mpreg)

Chapter 5

The moment I see my tiny little child I break out into sobs and my mother rubs my back soothingly.
"Gorgeous." I hiccup. "Can I...?" I ask the nurse, gesturing to the area around the genitals.
"Of course." The man smiles at me.
I lift it up slowly and carefully, scared I'll break them.
"It's a girl!" I wail, my mum and Gemma quickly peering over my shoulder. "Evangeline." I whisper, only for my own ears. "When can I hold her?" I frantically ask the nurse.
"I'm sorry but not till at least tomorrow. Maybe a few days. We have to be confident that she'll be fine out of the incubator." He replies sadly.
"Oh." My heart drops and I stick to running my hands over her tiny hands and face gently while she sleeps.

After as long I could stay staring at my daughter, which was about half an hour, I'm wheeled back to my room.

"Do you have a name idea?" Gemma asks me.
"Evangeline. It was my first thought so I have to follow my heart and just do it. I don't know a middle name though..." I reply.
"I think Gemma's a pretty cool middle name." She winks, causing both mum and I to roll our eyes.

"I guess I should probably tell some people now. I don't want too many visitors till tomorrow though." I announce.
"Fair enough. Do you want to call them?" My mum asks.
"Yeah, can you pass me my phone?" My mother obliges and hands me my phone from my bag -which Gemma had to 'break into' my house and pack for me.

"Hi Dad." I say, voice constantly hoarse, when he picks up.
"Harry! You don't sound good. Do you need help with anything?" He asks.
"I couldn't be better. I have a daughter. She's alive but in INCU but alive and well. I have a daughter." I say ecstatically.
"Wait, what? Harry, you've already given birth?" My fathers asks shocked.
"Yeah. It was an emergency thing earlier this morning. You can come visit if you want."
"I'd love to Harry. I'll be at the hospital shortly." He replies, clearly smiling. After I finished that phone call, I call Robin and any other family. Now comes the friends. Seesh this is going to be interesting.

"Hey Harry. As per usual I'm going to check up on if you're okay?" Zayn asks, same as every time I call him.
"I've had the baby." I whisper.
"Wait- what?!" Zayn screeches into the phone.
"It's a girl, Evangeline. She's in an incubator and on breathing tubes. I haven't got to hold her yet but I should soon." I explain, smile wide.
"Harry Edward Styles you have thirty seconds to explain yourself." Zayn says firmly, so I do. I explain everything from the doctors office, to the birth to visiting her in INCU. "That's so exciting. You just relax. I'll get around to telling everyone for you, absolutely all friends that you've told will be notified them today and I'll say you don't want visitors till tomorrow."
"You're amazing." I shake my head, not believing I have such a phenomenal person as one of my best friends.
"I'll be around sometime tomorrow."

"I heard you requested a breast pump to express milk for Evangeline?" A midwife comes in with a breast pump. I'm nervous about this but I know I shouldn't be. Any man can breastfeed normally so this shouldn't be such a big thing.
"Uh, yeah." I reply unsurely.
"Breastfeeding can be done by any male, your pregnancy does help and it's probably going to be easier for you, but it's not something other men can't do." She explains.
"I know."

After she shows me how to do it properly, it's actually quite easy. She said that my body reacted very well and that it's not usually that easy for anyone.
"When you can hold her, probably and hopefully tomorrow, then we'll try and get her straight onto your nipples to try and make it as easy as possible. Until then we'll give her your expressed milk."
"Um, my third and fourth nipple, they can't make breastmilk can they?" I ask curiously.
"I don't think so but you're welcome to try. Considering they're so much smaller they probably either wouldn't provide the right milk as it may be missing nutrients or not enough milk." She says, causing me to nod.

"Harry. You can hold her now doing kangaroo care." The nurse tells me around lunchtime the next day, making my head snap up immediately. I went straight to INCU as soon as I could that morning, which was straight after breakfast, and haven't left my daughters side since. My hand has been through the little whole in the side of the incubator constantly as I stroke and gaze at her.
"Yes." I say immediately, causing the nurse to chuckle and walk over.
"Okay, the point of this is to get her to stay warm from your body heat and be comfortable with your body so you'll need to undo the front of your hospital gown so she can be against your chest." I oblige, undoing the bows at the front of the gown and sitting comfortable and anxious in the wheelchair.
"Ready?" I nod in reply.

The nurse reaches into the incubator and pulls out Evangeline, supporting her head and having the breathing tube set right as well. Soon enough she's in my arms and against my chest.
"Oh my goodness." I sob quietly, holding her impossibly close to me. I can't believe it. I have a daughter that I made and she's mine. Her skin is really warm from the incubator and the blanket wrapped around her outside traps the heat. "When will she come off the breathing tube?" I hiccup, asking the nurse.
"We're going to try in about three days but it's unlikely she'll be completely off it for a few days after that." He replies.

"Hey mate, I'm so sorry but I probably can't be coming in today." Liam says on the phone disappointingly.
"Oh. Is everything okay?" I ask in concern.
"Not exactly. I was on my way in to see you and stopped for a coffee, bad idea. I've had a cluster of about 40 people, but steadily growing, on me for half an hour and it's not dying down. I don't want to cause a mob at the hospital." He explains.
"Aw, that's not good. Do you need anything? You okay?" I ask in sympathy.
"Nah, I'll be fine. Soph and I will come around once you get out of hospital but until that, all the best and congratulations." Liam answers.
"Okay, that will be anywhere from 1-3 weeks but see you then I guess." I reply.
"Bye Hazza, can't wait to meet her."
"Bye."
