"Good morning, beautiful." Ashton greets, as him and his mates step through the doorway to my hospital room.
"Good morning," I return the greeting quietly, glancing up from my baby girl long enough to flash them a quick smile.
"Oh, awkward." He mumbles, rubbing the back of his neck and widening his eyes. "I was talking to Maddy."
Luke shakes his head, chuckling to himself as he walks over to my bedside, kneeling. "Hey there," The blond cooes softly, rubbing his pointer finger gently across her cheek.
Calum speaks up, inching his way next to Luke, looking up at me. "Can I hold her?"
"Yeah," I nod, situating her in my arms to easily pass her over to Calum, successfully not waking her. Then I watch as Calum sits down at the end on the bed, holding her carefully.
"She's a really good baby though, isn't she?" Michael comments, him and Ashton also walking closer. "I mean as long as we were here yesterday, and even the few minutes we've been here already, she hasn't cried that much."
I nod my head in agreement. "Yeah, she cried once more after you guys left last night, but she calmed down pretty quick."
"I'm surprised Harry's letting you hold her," Zayn says, exiting the bathroom in fresh clothes. "We had to literally beg him to hold her last night." He comes to sit next to me on the bed, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me on his lap.
"She's my baby," I shrug, offering a dimpled smile, pressing a kiss to his jaw. Zayn rolls his eyes, but a smile blossoms across his face.
"Did you get much sleep last night?" Ashton asks.
"Not really." I shrug.
"Harry stayed up pretty much all of last night just holding her. The boys and I took turns resting for a minute-" Zayn explains further, nodding towards the pile of limbs on the small couch the hospital offered, before getting cut off by Ashton.
"Yes, because you four are the ones who really needed the rest."
Zayn's eyes narrow at Ashton's sarcasm, a low growl escaping his throat.
"Chill," Luke and I say in unison, sharing an eye roll at our mates.
Michael jumps in the conversation, eagerly asking, "Can I hold her now?"
As the time rolls closer to noon, one by one all of my Alphas rejoin the land of consciousness. Troye and Connor arrive about a quarter til eleven, also taking a turn of holding my baby.
"Have they done the test yet?" Connor asks, his arms wrapped around Troye, who's sitting on his lap, in a chair right next to my bed, Madelyn in Troye's arms.
"They did it not too long ago." Louis answers, his body stretched across the couch.
"Sit up," Liam groans, smacking Louis' arm. "Other people want to sit down too."
Louis glares at Liam, grumbling to himself as he complies, crossing his arms over his chest and pouting.
"They're sending me home in a little." I say. Then I look over at my Alphas. "Actually, will one of you guys go ask the doctor when I can leave sometime soon?"
"I'll go ask them right now." Niall offers. "I'm gonna stop at the cafeteria too. Anyone want anything?"
"We just ate about half an hour ago," Louis arches an eyebrow.
Niall pauses his movements, turning to glare at the cerulean eyed Alpha. "Well, I'm hungry again. Does anyone else want anything?"
"No thanks." Everyone murmurs in answer, letting out collective sighs.
As the door shuts behind Niall, Madelyn begins to cry. Troye immediately leans forward, passing her back to me.
"She's probably hungry." I tell them, glancing at all of my friends.
"Then feed her." Ashton replies, as if the answer is obvious. I raise my eyebrows, tilting my head to the side, my gaze locking on him. It takes him a minute, his puzzled expression quickly clearing up with realization. "We'll just be outside." He points to the door, then grabs Michael's shoulder, the closest person to him, and shoves him out the door, following immediately.
Niall comes back in the room shortly after I've finished feeding Madelyn and our friends are allowed back in the room, swallowing his last mouthful of a sub, and informs us that the doctor said he'll be by very shortly to check Madelyn and I out, make sure we're ready to go home, and then he'll discharge us.
And the doctor does come by within the next half hour, checking us over, then sending us on our way. Our friends pile into their respective cars, following behind us to our home.
"This is your new home, Madelyn." I whisper to her, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead, as I enter our house, my Alphas and friends behind me.
"I call showing Maddy her new room!" Louis yells, causing everyone to immediately hush him. His eyes widen and he quickly apologizes, pressing his own kiss to Madelyn's forehead. "Can I please show her, H?" He pleads, jutting his bottom lip out.
Sighing, I nod, passing her over. Louis squeals (quietly, of course) and begins making his way up the stairs, the rest of us following behind. Showing her the nursery quickly turns into a full tour of the house, a different person carrying her into each part.
The five of us collapse into bed later that night, our friends having gone home, our baby in the crib we pulled next to our bed.
When I wake up the next morning, none of my Alphas are in bed, and Madelyn isn't in her crib. I stretch, a yawn slipping past my mouth. I climb out of bed, exit the room, and jog down the stairs.
Downstairs Louis and Niall are in a panic.
"Guys, what's wrong?" I ask, frowning in confusion. "Where's Liam and Zayn? Where's Madelyn?"
Louis and Niall stare at each other, a silent conversation passing between the two.
"What's wrong?" I repeat more firmly, crossing my arms over my chest.
They both sigh, before Louis speaks up. "Madelyn's missing."
"What?" I gasp, grabbing the front of my shirt for something to hold on too. "What do you mean, she's missing?"
Niall quickly runs over to me, wrapping his arms around me as Louis continues the explanation. "We don't know what happened. We woke up this morning and she wasn't in her crib. Searched the whole house for her. Zayn and Liam ran out searching more, told us not to leave you alone."
"How... how...-" I stutter out, unable to say more.
"We don't know. But I swear to you, whoever did this will pay." Louis swears, rushing over to join us as we wait for Liam and Zayn, hopefully with Madelyn.
