Baby Payne

Baby Payne-Last Chapter

"Liam." Niall whispered, tears heavy in his voice. He hugged me from the side, but I hadn't really comprehended what had happened yet. "I'm so sorry."

I was completely and utterly broken. She was the one person in my life that saw who I really was. The boys didn't even know me as well as she had and hey had know me for four years. It was like she could listen to me, give me great advice and make me feel like everything was okay.

An now she was gone.

My beautiful princess, the one who changed me for the better, was gone.

She wasn't coming back.

Quickly, I detached myself from Niall and ran out the door, trying to chase the doctor down. "Hey!" I shouted.

"I'm very sorry Sir, I told you there was nothing we could do." He said, turning around to face me. I could tell he was trying really hard not to be rude in that moment, considering I had just lost my girlfriend.

But that's not what I wanted to talk to him about. I knew that she wasn't going to come back and I needed to be string for my daughter right now. I wasn't the first priority, she was. My needs would have to come second to hers, seeing as she was the only one in my life that needed protecting.

I took a deep breath and wiped the tears off my face. "No, I just wanted to know where my baby is."

He sighed and looked at his clipboard. "Your baby is in the room right down that hall. She is in the first crib closest to the door if you want to see her." He told me, before putting a hand on my shoulder once again. "I truly am sorry."

It was a girl. I knew that's what Belle always wanted, a little girl. It's what I wanted too, someone I could protect and spoil. I wanted to have a little daddy's girl, and now I got one.

But Belle wasn't here to see it.

I nodded and walked down the hall to where he had pointed me to. I was a complete emotional wreck right now and I hoped that seeing my baby would at least repair some of the damage that had just been done. The baby was, after all, a part of Belle and keeping it alive was her dying wish.

Maybe she could stop me from loosing it.

The only thing that was stopping me from becoming a wreck in that moment was the prospect of seeing our baby. She could be the one that makes me calm, be my rock and keep me from completely loosing it. I knew I had to be strong for the baby and I couldn't loose it right now.

There was a little glass window allowing me to see inside. There was only one baby on the side of the room where the doctor said mine was, so I knew the little pink bundle was mine. As it squirmed, I couldn't help but let my eyes melt. She was so beautiful and perfect and I hadn't even seen her face yet.

A nurse that was working inside looked up at me, as if she just noticed me standing there. She walks out the door, looking at me for a second. "What is you're name Sir?" She asked me.

"Liam Payne." I told her. When I said it, I could tell she felt sympathy for me. I'm assuming the news of my precious Belle's death had already spread and I would be getting pity for a while. "I just want to see my daughter. It is a girl, right? The one in the pink blanket."

She nodded and went back into the room. "Would you like me to help you take the baby and crib back to your room?"

"Yes." I whispered.

I watched as she slowly started to push the little glass cart towards the door and I opened it for her so the cart wouldn't bump at all. We were walking really slow so we wouldn't disturb the baby at all. I just looked at the baby's little face the entire time, not able to take my eyes off her chubby cheeks.
