Louis POV

I woke up still on the cold hard floor, and I went to get up but I couldn’t, I was stuck. I heard the door open and I moved my head to see who it was, “Harry?”

“No, it’s Zayn and why are you on the floor?”

“I have my reasons, and now I can’t get up. So would you mind helping me?” I rolled over on to my back and I put my arms up for Zayn to grab. He carefully pulls me up and doesn’t let go until he steadies my feet.

“Have you heard from Harry?”

“I just woke up, and before I tried to get up I couldn’t move. Now I’m going to check my phone, so lets hope he was able to leave already,” I said as I grabbed my phone off the coffee table and I noticed there was a few missed calls and one text message. I listened to the voicemail and I dropped my phone.

“Louis…Louis, what’s wrong?”

“He’s not going to make it, he hasn’t left yet, and they are holding him up. They told him that he wouldn’t be able to leave until late today. He’s going to miss the birth of our first child, he’s been wanting this for so long, it will devastate him that he won’t be able to witness the birth of his baby.” And I just broke down in Zayn’s embrace that he gave me after I said all of that in my fit of sobs.

After a few minutes he calmed me down, he helped me get ready for my appointment. I was a nervous wreck; I really wanted Harry to be here for our first born, it’s more special than any other births that may come. I got my things ready and I knew that once we got to the hospital we would have to deal with the situation at hand without holding it off more.

“Don’t worry Louis, if he promised you then he will make it. Has he ever let you down?”

“No, not one time.”

“So, why do you think that he will now? Like you said before, he would do anything in their power to make things right.”

“Yeah, I know.”

“Alright, now buckle up, I don’t want something to happen to you or Harry will have my head, literally.” I clicked the seatbelt firmly in place and we were on our way. I was getting nervous, what if something was wrong with the baby or if the delivery wasn’t successful, “Stop, I can literally hear your thoughts right now and it’s scaring me.”

The rest of the ride was quiet and we pulled into the hospital. I didn’t want to leave the car because I knew that Harry wasn’t there, I didn’t want to do this alone.

“And you won’t, I will be there, you don’t have to worry about losing me.”

“Thank you, Zayn.”

“No problem Lou,” He spoke as he kissed my forehead. He grabbed my bags as I walked in front of him to check myself in for the appointment. It was about 10 when we arrived and I wasn’t due for the surgery until 11, so I had to wait an agonizing hour until I would be able to meet the new edition to our family.

“Hello, how may I help you?”

“Yes, I’m Louis Styles, I’m scheduled for an C-section.” The lady typed around on her computer and she stopped.

“Alright, Louis just wait her while I get a nurse to wheel you to the designated room.” After a few minutes a nurse came in through the double doors and motioned for me to get into the seat. He wheeled me to a room and I got up off of the chair to get onto the bed. He handed me a gown to change into, he told me that I could keep on my boxers for now and once that it is time for the surgery that they will tell me to take them off or they would get cut off.

As the time went on and on, there was still no Harry. I was starting to get worried, I wanted him to be here and he isn’t.

“Louis, just 20 minutes left so we are going to start to get everything set for you to get there.”

“Alright.”

As soon as they did everything that they needed to do, I looked to Zayn who just gave me a sympathetic look.

“Don’t worry, he will be here.” I didn’t say anything, I wanted to but it would have made me more upset than what I really am.

 I kept my eyes locked on the door so if at any moment Harry would just walk through, but I knew in the pit of my stomach he was not coming.

“Okay Louis, it’s time.”

They unplugged all of the machines and it was finally time for me to deliver my baby. I really wished that Harry was here. Zayn followed us to the delivery room and they stopped him to get the gear on. I was really thankful for having this one as a friend; I really wouldn’t trade him for anyone else in the world. 

“Now, I don’t know about you, but who said you could deliver the baby without the other parent?”
