Washed up & Broken (One Direction Fan Fiction)

End

**5 months later** omg.

**NIALL'S POV**

"Ok, push Kat," Liam instructs. Kat is currently delivering the baby, and I'm freaking the heck out. For multiple reasons. Is she in pain? Is she dying? Is the baby OK? IS LEPRECHAUN LIVING?! Kat squeezes my hand and I cringe in pain. I lean down and press a kiss to her forehead. "Niall, Niall come here," I let go of her and Krysta steps up to take my place.

"Sir, we're going to have you pull out your baby," The doctor says. I nod and he hands me a pair of gloves that awkwardly coordinate with my scrubs. I slap on the facemask and Harry stands back snapping videos, my mom recording it. This must be awkward for poor Kat. The doctor helps me get ahold of the baby, and within minutes, the baby is delivered. The doctors take it and clear the drainage out of it before handing it back to me. I look down at my child, and burst into tears. It's a beautiful little baby girl.

"It's a girl Kat!" I exclaim. She gives me a weak smile and the doctors go to work on making sure she's comfortable.

"Sir, we need to clean her up. Would you like to do it?" A doctor asks. I nod and take my little bundle of joy over to the sink. The doctors help me wash her off, and get her swaddled. I can't help but smile widely as her little eyes open and stare up at me.She looks around, and then closes her eyes again.

"I think she's asleep," I grin. I turn to Liam. "Do you want to hold her?" He nods and reaches for Leprechaun. I grin as Liam gently rocks her and gives her little kisses.

"Whats her name?" He asks Kat and I. I look to Kat who beckons me over. I walk over to her and she whispers in my ear.

"Is Melanie OK?" She looks up at me with hopeful eyes. "Melanie Grace?"

"That's perfect, " I smile. I turn to Liam. "Melanie Grace Horan," He smiles back and looks down at Melanie, who wiggles around and then looks up at him.

"I've never seen a newborn open their eyes so fast," The doctor says. "We need to get Kat to her room and the baby to the clinic. You can come see them in the morning. I take Mel from Liam and hand her to the doctor. As I do this, I feel like a little piece of me is stolen. I walk over to Kat and press a kiss to her lips.

"I'll be back in the morning," I tell her. She nods and closes her eyes, being pulled under by the sleeping pills.

As Liam, Harry, Zayn, Louis, Krysta, and I exit the hospital, they all jump over me and begin making weird noises and talking all at once.

"You're a daddy!"

"Baby!"

"Your wife just spawned a fetus!"

I turn my head towards the person who said the last one. Of course it was Krysta. We're holding off the wedding until Mel is a couple months old. We drive back to the hotel and go up to the master pent house we're all sharing. As we walk through the doors, the boys of 5SOS jump up in excitement.

"How was it?" Calum asks.

"Amazing!" We all say at once.

"It's a little girl," I smile proudly. "Her name is Melanie,"

We spend the next half hour before I eventually feel the need to sleep hit me like a rock. I wish everyone goodnight, and go to my room. I try to sleep, but end up tossing and turning because I'm just too excited. Needless to say, I don't get any sleep that night. When the sun comes up, I rush out of my room and begin making breakfast. I make omelets for everyone along with some fruit, yogurt, and then I run to shower. I dress myself in shorts and a tee shirt with some shoes, and then I come back out. Everyone is awake.

"Dang Niall, you got some bags under your eyes," Krysta says, plopping a piece of omelet in her mouth.

"I couldn't sleep," I say, going to the refrigerator and grabbing a yogurt. I wasn't very hungry either. "When do visiting hours start?"

"In about half an hour," Louis says. "We're going to have to tell the fans about Mel Mel today." As if on que, Paul comes out of his room, coffee mug in hand.

"Already have to producers of the show setting up a slide of pictures," He says, taking his spot at the table. "Niall you're going to need some rest,"

"I know," I say, nodding. "I'm just so excited."

***KAT'S POV***

I'm woken up by the sound of people coming into the hospital room I'm in. It's a doctor and a nurse, the nurse carrying Melanie. I sit up and grin at the baby.

"How are you feeling ma'am?" The doctor asks, taking a seat as the nurse hands me my baby. This is my first time holding Melanie. And it's so peaceful.

"Great." I smile. "Perfect,"

"Do you need any pain medications?" The doctor asks. I shake my head.

"Could I be alone with her for a little bit?" I ask. The doctor and nurse nod so I'm soon left alone with my baby. I look down at her and she opens her little eyes. I set her up against my propped up knees so her neck is supported and she's sitting on her bum. "Hi Melanie," I smile. "Hello Leprechaun. How are you?" Then Melanie's little mouth opens, and she smiles. Tears brim my eyes and I smile back. "You're such a beautiful little baby aren't you? I'm so jealous. Girl, you're flawless," Melanie gives me a look and then her eyes dart around, rolling back to me. "I know, you're not used to this place, but soon we'll be home and you'll be happy," I hear someone cough and I look up. All of the boys, Niall's parents, and Krysta are standing there. "I was talking to my baby don't judge."

"I want to hold her!" Krysta exclaims.

"Ok, Ok, we can pass the baby around!" I grin. I carefully hand her over to Krysta.

"Aw look!" Krysta smiles. "She's got Niall's freckles." Krysta rocks Melanie gently. "This child. She's an attractive baby," We all laugh and Krysta hands her to Zayn. Zayn has her for a bit, then she goes to Maura, then to Niall's dad, then to his step dad, then to Liam, to Harry, to Louis, to Calum, Ashton, Luke, and Michael. Finally, she's to Niall. Niall sits down on the edge of the bed and gives me a big smile.

"She's so perfect," I smile, sitting up and sticking my finger into her hand. She grips it tightly and looks up to me, her eyes crossing. Niall and I burst out laughing and she looks up at Niall in confusion. "Say hi to daddy!" Niall bends down and kisses her nose. I sit back and watch my fiance play with my baby.

Everything is so surreal. Just two years ago I was insane, suicidal, and quiet. Now I'm back to a normal girl, who has the most amazing life, the most amazing people in her life, and she's changed. I never pictured life would ever be quite like this two years ago. I figured Liam was gone and never coming back. But no, here he is, crouched in front of Niall, being an uncle.

I never thought I would be who I am.

Because in the end, I was just washed up and broken. __________________________________________
