The High Life. The final stretch

Chapter 22

5th August, 2 days after my due date. Trying everything to get things going in the end I'm induced.

"You okay babe?" Con asked

"Stupid question." I said I'm lying on my back on the bed.

"Sorry." He said

"Rhi?" Brad said

"Hello." I said

"Jelly baby?" He said offering me the bag he had in his hand

"Yes please." I said

"Your nice to him." Con said

"He has jelly babies." I said

"No fair." Con said

"If you had jelly babies I would be nice to you." I said taking a jelly baby from Brad.

"Still need to come up with a name." Con said

"I know." I said

"Amber?" Brad said

"We don't now what the sex is." Con said

"Elliot?" He said

"I like Elliot." I said smiling

"Jake." Con said

"Evanna. Or Evie for short." Brad said

"Evannas pretty." Con said

"Yeah I like Evanna." I said

"Melody?" Brad said

"Luke?" Brad said

Me and Connor looked at him

"What its a lovely name." Brad said

"Yeah it is. But can you imagine the look on Luke's face. It would be so smug." I said

"Yeah this I true." Brad said

"Bobby?" Con said

"I like Bobby." I smiled

We were at this for the next few hours. In the end we decided for a girl Evanna Melody Ball and for a boy Elliot Bobby Ball.

"Ready to push?" The midwife said

"Yep." I said

"Great." She said

"Brad near her head please." Con said

"Why?" I said

"Because." Con said

"Con, he's gay." I said

"And." Con said I rolled my eyes at Brad.

He laugh.

"Ready Rhi?" The midwife said

"Yeah." I said

"Push." She said

It was long before baby was out.

"It's a girl." The midwife said

"Evanna." I said to Connor

"Well done babe." He said kissing me

"Thanks." I said smiling

"She's a beauty." The midwife said handing her to me. She looked more like Con than she did me. With that start of very blond hair just like Lilly's.

"Thanks." I said smiling down at little Evanna.

"Good job Rhi." Brad said smiling

"Thanks." I said

Brad left to give me and Connor some space he also went to phone around and tell everyone.

Later that evening when they had checked that me and Evanna were okay we were allowed to go home and I couldn't wait to introduce her to everyone.

"Mum's home." Lilly shouted
"Mum!" The all shouted running at me

"Hey guys." I said smiling having only been away one night I was glad to see the kids. Edward had been looking after them. He'd just got back from a world tour with a band signed to the boys label. He'd been stage crew he'd gone in Charlotte place because she couldn't go

"Thanks bro." I said giving him a hug

"Any time. Can I meet my new niece." He said

"Yeah Connors getting her from the car." I said

"Kids go sit down." Edward said

"Okay." The kids said the ran into the living room and jumped on the sofa.

"I hope they haven't been to much for you to handle." I said

"They've been fine" Edward said

"Good." I smiled.

Con came into the house with Evanna fast asleep in the car seat.

"Didn't want to wake her." Con said

"That's fine." I said

"Can I hold her." Edward said

"If you can get her out without waking her yes you can." I said

"Good luck." Con said

"Watch me." He said he sat on the floor put the handle of the car seat down unclipped her and picked her up all without waking her up.

"Well done." I said

"Now you can stand up." Con said

"Don't need to." Edward said moving slightly to lean against the wall.

I laughed.

"Smart arse." Con said moving the car seat and heading into the kitchen.

While Edward had hold of Evanna I took my phone from my bag and I had 12 messages from various people. Including Niall, Harry, Louis and Liam.

"Listen to these con." I said

"What?" He said

"From Niall. Congrats on new baby good work. 6 don't know how you cope. Will have to come see you guys soon it's been ages. From Harry congratulation on baby number 6, Brad text me. Little girl. Even it out. From Liam little girl well done Rhi, your an amazing mum. And from Louis will have to come meet the new addition to your family just heard from Liam congratulations." I read out

"Aww that's cute. I've just got this from Taylor swift. Congratulation on the new baby sweetie. Pics soon please. Bets she just as beautiful as the others." Con said he was also looking at his phone

"Aww." I smiled.

"Text from your mother just says congratulations." I said

"Hahaha. That's not the text I got." Con said

"What did you get?" I asked

"Congrats on baby number 3 babe." Con said smiling

I laughed.

"Life good." I said smiling

"Yeah." Con said

"No more?" I said

"No more. 6 is quite enough." Connor said

"Yes it is." I said putting my arm around Connor.
