"Mum, please." Liam sighed, grimacing as his huge baby bump restricted him from buttoning up his coat, "I'll just get Louis from school and come right back home."

Karen rolled her eyes, taking off the coat from her son's shoulders before draping it across the sofa. "No, you aren't getting Louis, I am." she stated, "Your baby is due any minute and I am not letting you-"

Karen cut herself off with a gasp as she noticed Liam hunch over suddenly, his arms across his stomach, his face twisted into a grimace. A hiss seeped through his lips and his wide eyes captured his mother's as he noticed the wet patch staining his sweatpants. The baby was coming.

--

"Zayn," Liam hissed as another contraction hit him, "I want- ah- I want Zayn."

Karen nodded frantically as the doctors rolled his son into the delivery room, fishing out her phone from her pocket and pressing her son-in-law's number. She bit her bottom lip as the phone ringed, cursing Zayn under her breath for not being quick enough.

"K- Karen?" Zayn's hoarse finally seeped through the other end, "What-"

"Liam is having the baby. St. Lauren's hospital. He needs you." Karen rushed in one breath, flinching as she heard her son scream in the delivery room.

"F-fuck, what." Zayn gasped and Karen could hear him shuffling up to get ready, "Wasn't there still three weeks until the due date, I-- never mind. I'll be right there. Tell him I love him." With that, Zayn hung up and Karen released a shuttering breath.

--

Zayn jumped into his car and slammed the key into the ignition, reversing the car from the driveway before speeding down the street.

His teeth were chewing on his bottom lip, harsh and sharp enough to break skin and draw blood. His hands were shaking with excitement and nervousness. His hazel eyes were no longer dull and sad, the foreign and familiar excited sparkle illuminating the confines of his orbs. He was going to be a father again.

The hazel eyed man released a relieved sigh as the tall hospital building loomed in front of him. Haphazardly parking into the emergency lot, he rushed out of the car- not bothering to turn it off or lock it- and tumbled through the doors of the hospital.

Zayn padded towards the receptionist quickly, asking for Liam's room in a hushed yet frantic voice.

"Right down this hallway, sir. Room 9." the woman smiled calmly and Zayn fled down the hallway, only to be met by an equally jittery Karen.

"H-how is he?" Zayn asked, his breaths coming out in pathetic pants, "I-Is he okay?"

As if on cue, Liam screeched from behind the wooden doors of the delivery room and Zayn gulped. "Zayn Malik, I fucking hear you! Get in here, you're the reason I'm in this fucking pain!" Liam yelled from inside before screaming as another contraction hit him.

Albeit everything and the situation, Zayn's lips quirked into a fond smile, his mind wandering to the time Liam was in labor with Louis and how he threatened to rip off Zayn's dick afterwards.

Without another belated breath, Zayn was shoved inside the room by Karen, the doctor immediately giving him scrubs.

Hurriedly, Zayn snapped them onto his hands and rushed towards Liam's side. His husband- if it was okay to call him that- looked so fucking beautiful, with his sweaty hair clinging onto his forehead, his blue maternity gown showing his huge baby bump. His eyes were on fire and were wild as he locked them with Zayn's and Zayn felt the air escape his lungs as he fell in love all over again.

"Hi, baby." Zayn smiled softly, grimacing as Liam captured his hand in a vice-like grip. Liam looked up at him, his painful expression still managing to make way for a reassuring smile for Zayn. The raven haired man gave him a watery smile, before dropping it as Liam scrunched up his face and let out another high-pitched squeal as he felt another contraction near his lower abdomen.

Zayn didn't mind that Liam was squeezing his hand so hard that his fingers had their fate in their grave, nor did he give a damn that Liam was yelling abuse at him on top of his lungs whenever the contractions hit him. "We're having a baby, Zee." Liam breathed as soon as he recovered from yet another contraction and that, that was the moment Zayn felt his tears prod at his eyes and drip down his chin.
