Chapter 45

"Katherine"

"Coming Cam" I ran over to her with her things "here you go"

"Thanks so how's Emily?"

"She's good, Harry hired a teacher so she can graduate high school"

"Aww that's sweet of Harry and you guys"

"I feel like it's the least we can do, this girl is giving us her child"

"Have you gotten any baby stuff?"

"A few but not everything, Harry and I just been so busy"

She sighed "yeah sorry about that"

"No it's fine" I smiled at her "this is my job"

My phone rang and I saw it was Emily "Hey Emily"

"Kat, the baby"

"The baby?" I started to worry.

"My water broke" she said in between breaths.

"I'll be right there okay sweetie, just take deep breaths" I hung up and grabbed my things "I'm going to go have a baby!"

"Go go!" Camila yelled at me.

I got in my car and called Harry who was promoting his single with the guys in NYC. He didn't answer so I called Kenneth.

"Hey Katherine"

"Ken! I need you to tell Harry that I'm on the way to the house to get Emily. Her water broke! We're having a baby"

"Wait" he tells me.

It was a few moments of silence before "Kat?" I heard Harry's voice.

"We're having a baby!" I yelled "Emily's water broke! Babe I need you!"

"Alright alright! I'm coming I'm coming babe"

I laughed as I then called Gill to pick up Matt from school. I picked up Emily and went to the hospital. Gill called my parents and Harry's.

"I'm scared Katherine" Emily held my hand.

"Oh I know sweetie, but you're going to do great okay?"

She nodded "thank you for everything you've done"

"Oh of course, I'm going to get you some water okay?"

She nodded as I left the room to check on Matt and my sister.

"How is she?"

"Scared" I told Gill.

"Any word on your father?" I asked Matt.

"No not yet"

I sighed "I'm worried he won't be here"

"He's coming as fast as he can mom" Matt smiles at me.

"I love you" I kissed his forehead.

I went back to Emily, it was going to be a few hours until she starts giving birth. So that gives everyone time to get here. I was worried out of my mind and I need Harry. Emily was resting while I held her hand. I placed my head on my arm while I fell asleep.

"Kat"

"Mmm" I mumbled.

I woke up and saw Harry with coffee. He grabbed my hand and took me outside so we wouldn't wake up Emily.

"You're here" I smiled "and you brought me coffee" I grabbed the coffee and took a sip before I kissed and hugged Harry.

"Matt is over at Gill's"

I nodded "Katherine?" I heard Emily.

"Hey sweetie, I'm going to go get the doctor okay?"

She nodded.

"Alright Emily, let's have this baby"

"Katherine can you please be in the room?"

"Yeah sure"

I looked at Harry as we were rolling away. I had tears in my eyes as I mouthed "I love you". I held Emily's hand.

"You can do this Em"

After a few hours, the baby was finally here. I laughed as I held her "she's so beautiful" I looked at Emily "do you want to hold her?"

"No, I'm good" she tells me "it's probably best that I don't"

"I'm going to get Harry" I tell her.

"I could get your husband" the nurse told me.

"Can you please?" I nodded as she left to go get Harry.

I began to walk back and forward as I was rocking this beautiful baby girl in my arms.

"Love?" I turned to see Harry smiling at me.

I was already an emotional mess "come meet your daughter" I smiled at him.

"Oh she's gorgeous, let me hold her" he held her "we need to come up with a name" he tells me.

"I know, thank you Emily for trusting us"

"Of course thank you guys for helping me"

I nodded as the nurse then took the baby. Harry left as I went to talk to Emily. We decided it was best for Emily to go back to her house but she will still having her homeschool teacher and I told her to call us when she graduated and when she sends applications to college. She decided she didn't want a lot of pictures of the baby just a few over the years.

Matt came into the bedroom "have you thought about a name?"

"Yeah" I turned to see Matt and Harry "guys meet Anastasia Emily Styles" I smiled.

"It's beautiful Kat" Harry kissed me.

"Katherine?" I heard Gill's voice, I kept my eyes on the doorway as Gill and Ellie walked in "Ellie wanted to meet her cousin"

I smiled as I sat down and Ellie walked over to us "Ellie this is Anastasia, your cousin"

"Why don't you give her a kiss El?" Gill told Ellie and Ellie gave Anastasia a little kiss.

"Aww" I smiled.

"How are you doing so far?" Gill sat down on another rocking chair we had.

"Okay" I mumbled.

"Is Harry helping you?" Gill glanced at Harry.

"Hey I help"

"No he does" I laughed "and Matt helps a bit too"

"This little girl sure does have a lot of people who love her"

"She does" I agreed with my sister.

I got up and handed Anastasia to Harry while I walked my sister and Ellie out "thank you girls for stopping by"

I closed the door "Ana's hungry!" Matt yelled.

"Ok!" I yelled back.

I grabbed her bottle and went into back her nursery. I handed Harry her bottle "you got her?" I asked him.

"Yeah babe, go relax"

I kissed his cheek and kissed Anastasia's forehead "I love you baby girl"

I went into the bedroom and set up a bath for myself. I put my pajamas on and went to check on Harry. I leaned against the doorway as Harry was in the rocking chair with Anastasia in his arms sleeping.

I smiled as he glanced up "Hey" he whispered.

"Hey, I love seeing you with her"

"I love holding her" Harry sat up and placed Anastasia in her crib.
