More Than This //Luke Hemmings (Wattys 2016) **Editing**

3.8

"So what's his name?" I asked Michael. It's the following day and Becky's asleep. Last night they were talking about names and finally chose a name.

"We decided on Thomas Robert Clifford." He smiles.

"You have him Luke's middle name?" I ask him.

"Yeah. And Calum's middle name is his first name. We felt bad that we didn't include Ashton so we might name him Thomas Robert Fletcher Clifford."

"That would be so cute!" I say.

"I'll have to talk to Bec- Hadley?" I held my stomach as I was in pain.

"Michael, call Luke." I say lowering myself to the ground.

Michael dials Luke whose just down in the cafeteria with Calum and Ashton.

"Owww!" I groan in pain.

"Shh Hadley it's gonna be alright, the other lads are coming as fast as they can." Michael says bending down to rub my back.

"It hurts." I cry.

"HADLEY!" Luke yells running in, Calum and Ashton just behind him.

I was now sitting in a puddle, knowing my water broke.

"Calum! Get a doctor!" I yell. My brother goes running moments later coming back with a doctor.

"Okay boys can you help me get her too a room?" The doctor asks.

I get carried to another room. Nurses are hooking me up and I start zoning out because I'm in so much pain.

"She's 7cm dilated! Ms. Gods who would you like to be in the room?" The doctor asks me.

"Calum and L-Luke." I say.

Both boys go on either side of me, taking my hands, giving slight pecks on my forehead, my cheek, my hands, basically trying to calm me down.

"I can't do this!" I cry like Becky did.

"Come on Hadley, you got Rebecca to do it, now you have to do it. Once your done, you don't need to have any more kids. Do you copy that Mr. Hemmings?" Calum asks.

"Calum, YOU'RE NOT HELPING!" I scream as a contraction happens. I've been timing them and they're now 2 minutes apart.

5 Hours Later...

I wake up to a baby crying. And Luke cradling her.

"Lukey, can I see her?" I ask him. He smiles walking over gently handing her over to me.

"Hi baby girl, I'm your mumma. My best friend Rebecca just gave birth to a boy yesterday, you and Thomas can hopefully be best friends when you grow up." I whisper to her. "You know I love your daddy so much that I got you out of it."

I see Luke tearing up and I wipe away his tears with the pad of my thumb.

"What should we name her?" I ask him.

"How about Piper Rebecca Hemmings?" Luke ask.

"I love it."

Calum, the boys, Becky and Thomas (well Becky is carrying him) walk in.

"Where's my niece?" Calum asks walking over beside my bed.

"Guys meet Piper Rebecca Hemmings."

"Y-you named her after me?" She asks.

"Yes because we love you so much."

"So I expect Piper and Thomas to be dating by the age of 13." Ashton jokes.

"My daughter is not dating mini Michael." Luke says.

"Fudge you." Michael knows not to swear with two sleeping babies present.

"I can't believe that we all have two little miracles in our life now." I say in awe.

"Welcome to the world Thomas and Piper." We say in unison.
