Ch 38-

:LANEYS POV:

I was so warm and cozy. I felt no pain, and I was with Harry. I glanced around the room. It was still dark outside, meaning I hadn't been asleep long. Harry was sound asleep, and Niall was-...gone? Why would he leave? I know you're probably thinking 'Laney, you are being bipolar', but I lived with Niall for almost half a year. He took care of me, and he reunited me with Harry. Without him, I'd be so lost.

I slightly reached for Harry's phone in his pocket. Please don't wake up.. please don't wake up.. please don't wake up.. Ha! Got it! Luckily, I knew Harry's passcode to his phone. It clicked open, and I went straight to his contacts starting with the letter 'N'. Found it. 'Nialler'. I clicked the 'call' button.

***ring ring ring ring ring***

"Ello?" An Irish, sleepy voice answered.

"Niall, it's Laney. Where are you?" I whispered into the phone.

"I am back at the flat. I figured you'd need help packing up your things." He replied. This crushed me. I would no longer be rooming with Niall.

After a long pause, I sighed. "Niall." I whimpered.

"It's ok, princess. I never expected you to stay with me. You love Harry- always have- remember? Don't feel bad, we had fun. This isn't goodbye." he said.

"I know. But I do love you." I whispered.

Niall chuckled. "I love you too. I will always be here for you." He replied. That made me smile.

"Okay. Well, I will see you in a bit." I said, biting my lip.

"Bye, love."

"Bye, Nialler." And I hung up. I put the phone down and sighed.

"Do you really want to be with me?" Harry spoke, making me jump.

"Why didn't you tell me you were awake!" I scolded.

"I was being nosy." Harry replied with a smirk, as I handed him his phone back. Gosh, I've missed that smirk.

"Ok, Mr. Nosy, that shouldn't be a question. I already told you I am- and have always been- in love with you." I said, kissing him gently. With even the slightest touch of our lips, I felt a spark. I grinned widely. His grin grew with mine.

"Admit it, you missed me." I urged.

"Pssshhht no." Harry retorted.

"Mhmm. Ok, Styles. I heard that you suddenly cry yourself to sleep. For no reason?" I sneered, sarcastically breaking him down. He looked down, smiling.

"You are too full of yourself, kiddo." He replied.

"I'm not a kid anymore- need I remind you- that's why we are in here. I can now legally drink in London too." I smirked playfully.

"I will buy you a drink at some point, but not now, obviously. I don't really care to drink anyways." He responded.

Out of no where, a wave of pain hit me. It was like I had just been shot in my gut. I winced and whimpered, grasping onto Harry. He put his cool hand against my hot forehead. Then, a nurse walked in.

"Laney Jones?" she called for. I sent a confirming nod.

"Dr. James would like to induce labor and go into the delivery process. He wants to examine more into it and see what went wrong. It's abnormal for you to miscarry this late in the pregnancy. So, if you don't mind, please put the hospital gown on and we will begin in a few minutes." The nurse smiled, then left the room.

"Induce labor?! I'm going to give birth to a dead baby!?" I whisper-screamed.

"I will be right here. We need to get this behind us." Harry said reassuringly. I nodded, took the gown, and disappeared around the corner.

:HARRYS POV:

Holy fuck. I couldn't do this. We couldn't do this. Why were they going to put her through this? I immediately grabbed my phone and prepared to send a group message.

TEXT MESSAGE TO: NIALLER, ZAYN, LIAM, LOUIS, LOU TEASDALE

"Laney had a miscarriage, it's been stressful. The doctor is inducing Laney's labor and delivery. Not sure how this will go, and I'm alone with her. Someone needs to take Vanessa and come help me please. Laney needs this. Anyone, please. -Harry" I pressed the 'send' button with a sigh.

Laney returned, and layed back down on the bed. I sat up next to her, protectively. I knew she was scared as hell.

My phone vibrated in my pocket, one buzz after another.

TEXT MESSAGE FROM: NIALLER

"Is she ok?! I will be there as soon as possible!"

TEXT MESSAGE FROM: LIAM

"Be down there soon. Sorry to here that lad. :("

TEXT MESSAGE FROM: LOUIS

"Eleanor and I are together. We can be there soon"

Thank god.

TEXT MESSAGE TO: NIALLER, LOUIS, LIAM

"She's doing ok. Thank you. I really appreciate it."

:LANEY'S POV:

I was now in a room surrounded by the people I loved, and doctors of course. Harry was sitting by my side, letting me hold his hand. Niall was on my other side, gently stroking my other hand. Eleanor was next to Niall, encouraging me with Louis glued to her hip. Liam stood behind Harry with a hand on his shoulder. Zayn was with Vanessa at his flat. I didn't really care though. I had enough people to comfort me. I breathed in hard as another contraction overcame me.

"You're doing great Laney." Eleanor said. I nodded, trying to focus. God, how I wanted this to be over.

I looked over at Harry. "You ok?" I asked him, so that no one could hear.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" He replied with a nervous chuckle.

"I'm ok. You don't seem ok though." I whispered back. I could feel his uneasiness.

"I just hoped that the baby would make it. I know you wanted this." He said, with tears welling up.

"I'm ok. Honestly. Everything happens for a reason, and I can't have the baby if you didn't want it too. That's not fair." I said. Another contraction hit me. I squeezed Harry's hand tightly. I pushed, I needed this thing out. Finally, I was able to exhale.

"I know that I was on the fence about the baby. But I was being selfish. I just didn't want to surrender my career. But now I realize, I would surrender anything to be with you." Harry whispered, caressing my jaw line. Then, another contraction hit me. This time, I whimpered a bit.

"Don't stop, Laney, you're doing great. Almost done." The doctor insisted. I gulped. Could I survive much more of this? Giving birth hurts like hell.

"You're so good at this! I am not that scared to have a baby anymore!" Eleanor exclaimed. I smiled at her. I loved her attitude.

"You would have been a great mom." Harry whispered into my ear. Tears immediately pooled at the bottom of my eyes. Another contraction hit, causing those tears to spill over. Niall took my other hand.

"You're almost there. One more push." The doctor said. So I did, and boy did it feel good to be over.

As soon as I was relieved from the pain, I smiled and everyone smiled with me. I did it. It's done.
