Here For You(Zerrie Story)

Rueben James

Zayn's POV


I was sitting down on a chair next to the hospital bed when I heard a big bang, the next thing I heard was Perrie's voice scream out for me "ZZ-A-YN"


I rushed to the door of the bathroom carefully opening it to make sure Perrie wasn't behind the door. Sure enough she was.


I squeezed into the small space between the door and the wall kneeling down next to Perrie's face caressing her cheek with my thumb. There was a small space in between Perrie's lips and her chest was barely moving up and down.


"It's ok, I'll be right back." I whispered to the lifeless body next to me, the nurse jinxed us.


I walked out if the hospital room sniffling away a few tears that had gathered in my eyes. I jogged to the office in the middle of the second floor panting by the time I turned the corner.


"Hi sir, are you ok?" I polite nurse asked


"No and neither is my wife. She collapsed on the ground." I said quickly


"Ok, what room?" She asked


"228" the nurse nodded then whispered to the other nurse


"If you could just go back the the room to explain to the doctor he'll be there any minute now." She gave me a sad smile and I just nodded before jogging back to the room.


I went straight into the small bathroom area kneeling once again next to my wife's lifeless body when my phone started to buzz. The only reason I decided to look at it was because we don't have Lola and I wouldn't want something to happen.


Harry?


I sighed before walking out of the bathroom for a moment. I took a deep breath pulling myself together before pressing the answer button and putting the phone to my ear.


"Hello?"


"Hi Zayn, we just wanted to know how everything's going."


"Not good, Perrie collapsed onto the bathroom floor and she's not responsive the doctors supposed to be here any minute now." I sighed


"We're so sorry." I heard Liam say


"Well we don't want to be keeping you go see your wife." Niall spoke


"We love you." I heard Louis say in the back


"Thanks guys bye." And with that I hung up the phone heading back to the bathroom but got stopped by the doctor.


"Mr.Malik, right?" He asked


"Yep, that's me." I nodded


"So where's Perrie?" He asked


"She in there on the floor, please be careful she's right behind the door." He nodded before sliding in.


I followed behind.


The doctor kneeled next to her checking her heart and slowly shaking is head, then he went onto her pulse and shook his head, next he test her reflexes I'm guessing to see if she we oils move. She moaned slightly sounding in pain, it was a quiet moan making the doctor smile to himself.


He looked at me and pressing his lips together.


"So.." I asked wishing the doctor would start talking.


"We'll it seems to me that Perrie just passed out. It seems to me it was because the baby is ready to come but it doesn't look like she'll be waken up before we have to deliver the baby and we need to deliver the baby now so we're going to have to do last minute surgery to get the baby out. But.." The doctor trailed off


"But?" I pushed him to keep going


"But in you wife's case this surgery could be deadly for her and the baby or she could get really sick." The doctor had sympathy written all over his features


"D-deadly?" The doctor nodded "But wouldn't it be deadly for Perrie either way unless we chose to take the baby's life, right?" I asked


"Yes, in most cases the baby survives last minute surgery but in you case there only a fifteen percent chance." He sighed


"Um, do the surgery that baby needs to get out either way." I looked down at my feet just wanting a healthy family always and forever.


"Ok, your going to have to wait in this room until the baby is delivered. I don't know what's going to happen so I will get back to you it shouldn't be more than three hours." The doctor gave me a sad smile before I kissed Perrie's cheek lightly then headed to the uncomfortable hospital chair next to the empty hospital bed.


I watched as about four nurses/doctors wheeled Perrie out into the hallway. I stared at the door for a long time before letting a tear slip my eye. I brushed it away before sliding my phone out of my back pocket an dialing Perrie's mums number.


"Hi Zayn, is everything ok?" She answered


"Hi Debbie, everything's alright I guess." I sighed


"Aw sweetie I'm sure everything's going to be fine." I heard her voice softly cracking.


"I wish I could say the same. How's Lo?" I asked looking a my lap


"She's really good she hasn't stopped asking about you and Perrie. She's on the couch sleeping right now."


"Oh, that's good. When she wakes up can you tell her we love her and miss her?"


"Yep, of course. Can I talk to Perrie?" She asked and my heart broke how am I going to tell her this.


"Well, uh, they just took her into a room, she's sort of unconscious so they need to do emergency surgery to her." I stuttered


"Oh my baby, my poor baby is she gonna be ok?" I could hear Debbie start crying which made me start to cry.


"Please don't cry." I begged


After I hung up with Debbie I called my mum then Harry an the boys. Time went by quickly thanks to all the tears and phone calls. Three hours soon came and a doctor came in to tell me the news but I was asleep.


"Mr.Malik."


"Mr.Malik"


"We have the news about your wife and the baby."


With that I jumped up sitting up straight in my seat. The doctor gave me a minute to adjust my eyes to the bright light of the room.


"Ok so, your baby is in the corner of the room, very healthy but small for his age so he'll have to stay and extra night at the hospital and so will you because Perrie can't check out with him. Perrie is really weak right now she looks sick and pale we gave her some chewable medicine, it stinks we can't tell if she'll live this early in time it takes about two years and if she's still here she's here until her time."


I looked at him in shock then turned my face to the corner of the room. There siting in the corner if the room was a clear little crib with a tiny white mattress sitting on top of a metal stand with three draws. Inside of the clear crib was a little blue bundle, I smiled before turning my attention back to the doctor.


"You'll be filling out the birth certificate an hopefully Perrie will be able to soon so you can leave." I nodded and gave the doctor a little smile


"Any questions?" He asked


"When can I see Perrie?" I asked hopefully


"Either by the end of the night or tomorrow morning." He smiled


"Ok thank you." I smiled at the doctor


"No problem, a nurse will be in to measure the baby and then you should all set for the rest if the night."


After the doctor left the room I walked over to clear little box crib and peeked inside at the cute little blue bundle. He was sleeping peacefully, the first thought that came in my mind was he's beautiful.


I couldn't tell what color his eyes were clearly because he was asleep but he looked like me. His skin color matched mine perfectly, not in the middle like Lola. The shape of his face, his cute little nose, the way he'd scrunch up his little nose every now and then when he took a deep breath.


I watched him for a few minutes before carefully picking the beautiful baby up. I cradled him in my arms wishing Perrie was here to admire him with me. Holding him brought back so many memories, holding Perrie's hand well she was in labor and delivered the baby, laughing when it was over at how excited Perrie was, holding Lola in my arms well my tired wife looked over my shoulder cooing at her.


"Hi Rueben." I cooed rocking him in my arms well he slowly opened his eyes.


"I'm your daddy mummy's going to be so happy to see you. Mums busy now but soon she'll be able to hold you just like I am." I smiled down at his beautiful blue eyes...


Just like Perrie's.


I kissed his for head lightly just admiring him. I took in a deep breath whilst Rueben just stared at me never moving his eyes only blinking once or twice.


He smiled at him embracing the moment before he started to cry. It was the cutest cry I've heard since Lo was born.


"Shhh." I softly hushed him gently placing him back in the clear crib box.


"It's ok baby." I whispered opening the top draw that the clear little crib laid on where I found a premie diaper and some wipes just in case. I set them down next to the crying little baby and began to unwrap the blue blanket that was around him.


After I changed his diaper I wrapped the small baby up(by small I mean like so tiny). He quickly fell asleep so I just left him in his crib figuring the nurse would be in here any minute waking him up anyway, and I was right.


By the time I walked over the the chair I was sitting in before and took a seat someone was knocking at the door.


"Hi Mr.Malik." The nurse peeked in before entering


"I'm here to measure and weigh the baby." She smiled at me then looked around the room until she spotted the clear crib box


She walked over to him gently taking him out and placing him over her shoulder.


"I'm going to take him out to the hallway I'll come back and tell you the results but I don't know about giving him back to you he's a cutie." She chuckle softly and I laughed


"Sounds good minus the bit giving him back." I laughed


She smirked before carrying the baby out of the room. The thought of being alone in a hospital room with my new born baby and not his mother was awful. I slouched a little in my seat sighing, I'm sad, tired, happy, lonely, and excited all at once its not a nice combination.


The nurse soon came in and I wiggled around sitting up once again in my seat. She was still holding the baby the same way as when she left.


"Ok, well he's definitely small, to small to go home tomorrow like he's supposed to so you'll be here for another three day which I believe is Sarurday." I nodded and she smiled


"He's 4 pounds 2ounces and he's 16 inches tall but he's a very very healthy baby so he's fine just definitely small." She said placing Rueben back into the little crib.


"Ok, thank you for returning him." I smiled jokingly


"It was tough." She played along "Ok well, do you have a name? The birth certificate lady will be here tonight you need to sign everything you can and when Perrie's capable she'll sign too but you can't leave until she signs, hospital rules." She shrugged


"Ok will do." I nodded


"Than you I'll be leaving you alone for now if you need anything or have any questions please call. Perrie's looking, uh better, so I hope you get to see her." She gave me a little smile


"Me too." I mumbled quietly


She said a quick good by before walking out of the room quietly closing the door behind her. As soon as she left I stood quickly and walked over to the baby. He was asleep so I took that as a good time to go to sleep myself. I quickly kissed the top of his head and walked over to the hospital bed that Perrie should be in, but she's not.


I laid there silently looking up at the blank ceiling. I closed my eyes trying not to over think about everything but it was impossible eventually I let the darkness take me over.
