Mikeys POV~

We were in Ryes car, me and Ali in the back, her hand in mine. I was reassuring her things would be okay, she was panicking as it was a month too early.

Jess looked over her shoulder at us, she looked at Ali

'What's the pain like? Is it copeable?' She asked smiling

'No, I feel like I can't breathe properly' Ali replied, squeezing my hand harder and closing her eyes. Jess looked at me and I could see the worried look in her eyes, I looked down at Ali and smiled, keeping strong for her, although deep down I was preparing myself for something bad.

Shortly after, we made it to the hospital and she was rushed straight through to theatre.

'Mikey don't leave me, please it hurts' she cried and she was being rushed through on a bed. I was by her side until she was taken through the door to theatre and I couldn't go any further

'There's a waiting room just down the corridor to the right, we'll keep you updated' a nurse reassured me and pointed us in the direction of the waiting room.

Rye called the others, letting them know what was happening. I sat down and felt something in my back pocket. I pulled it out, it was the ring box, I looked down, opening it revealing the ring. My heart dropped.

Ryes POV~

I hung up the phone to Andy after explaining what was happening, I turned around and saw Mikey looking at the ring he had proposed to Ali with. I went over and sat next to him, I sighed and patted his thigh

'She'll be alright mate, we know she's strong enough, you, Ali and your beautiful baby will be just fine' I smiled, I could see he appreciated me trying to cheer him up, but it wasn't going to help the situation, until Ali and the baby were healthy, I don't think anything would.

It wasn't long until a nurse came to see Mikey

'Mikey Cobban?' She asked and he nodded standing up

'Is she okay? Is she out? How's the baby? Can I see her?' He quickly asked a load of questions, I went and stood next to him

'She's done in theatre, you'll be able to see her shortly, she's fragile but she's healthy' the nurse smiled, I saw a weight lift off his shoulders

'And what about the baby?' At first she didn't look like it was good need but a warm smile built up on her face

'The baby is perfect, he's in the private room, are you ready to meet your son?' I smiled and hugged Mikey

'See I told you they'd be fine!' I said and could see the relief on his face. He was speechless, he was a father. The nurse showed us to the room, it was all empty apart from the small cot on the other side. The nurse picked up the baby and handed him to Mikey, leaving us alone.

Mikeys POV~

I saw him in the cot. My baby. My son. The nurse handed him to me and soon after left us alone.

'Hey little one' I said smiling down at him, he was so small, I looked up at Rye and Jess, they had massive smiles on their faces

'Congratulations buddy, how's it feel to be a dad?'
