Take Me || Niam

Chapter Forty

Niall's P.O.V

My eyes shot open as I woke from sleep with a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I held it for a moment, and when it went away I relaxed, a big sigh leaving my lips. I closed my eyes shortly after, only to be interrupted by another stabbing pain. "Ouch." I whine, trying to sit up. No luck, so I fall back into the comfort of my bed with Liam fast asleep beside me. The doctor said these pains I'm having at night might happen a little bit, but when it's time, I'll know. I'm hoping he's right because I don't plan on having my first child on this bed. The pain subsiding, and I lay on my back for a good few minutes with no disturbances. About to turn onto my side, I feel a sharp pain that shoots through my lower body. I whimper, as I grab onto the bed sheets. "Liam!" I yell, swinging my hand at him in the dark.

"Ouch, fuck Niall! What?" I groan, as I feel the bed moving.

"It's time." I breath heavily, trying to not move.

"Shit, okay! I'll get everything ready! You get into the car!" He yell, but before I can say anything he's out of the bedroom turning on every light in the house.

"Liam!" I scream. "You idiot! Get your ass in here and help me up!" I say, still lying flat on my back in the bed. Before I know it Liam back in the room and helping my get up.

"Sorry.." He mumbled, making me smile.

"Your so cute. You look like at injured little puppy when you po-ouch!" I begin but get interrupted my another, what I'm assuming is a, contraction.

"Okay, let's get you into the car." He say, picking me up and rushing downstairs.

"Do you have the car seat in?" I ask, double checking.

"Check." He says.

"Bags for you, the baby, and I?"

"Yes, they're in the closet." I hear him say as he opens the door to the car, sliding me it.

"Baby's, diaper bag? Both boy and girl onesies, because we don't know what we're having?" I ask frantically, another contraction coming.

"Yes, I have everything. The onesies are gender neutral. Don't worry about it baby. I've got to go get the clothes and such. Until I get back just breathe." Liam reassures me, taking my face into his hands, giving me a short kiss on the forehead. I do as he says, as I watch him run into the house.

Liam comes back a short time later with bags in hand, and his phone pressed against his ear. "It's happening right now! Can you tell everyone please?" I hear him say while starting the car. "I'm driving Niall to the hospital now, we're in the car." He rushes, gripping the steering wheel a bit forcefully.

"Ouch. Li, it hurts." I whimper, making Liam turn to me.

"It's okay baby, just breathe." He says, then turning his attention back to the road and his phone conversation.

"Thank you so much. I'll see you in a little while. Bye." And with that he hangs up, bringing his now free hand to grab onto mine. I squeeze as light as I can, not wanting to hurt him. "That was your mum, she said she's going to call everyone." Liam said, giving my hand a squeeze.

"Thank you." I say calmly. "I don't know what I'd do without you." I said in all seriousness.

"Without me, you'd still be laying on the bed trying to get up." He chuckled, easing my mood a bit as I let out a small giggle myself. It was soon gone, and I was holding onto Liam's hand like my life depended on it. Soon enough though we pulled up to the hospital and Liam was carrying me in and telling the receptionist that I was in labor. I was taken back right away and soon hooked up to machines, laid out on a hospital bed. A nurse came in and gave me some medicine for my contractions, I thanked her, and she smiled going on her way.
