Niall´s POV:

Four hours had passed and we had still not heard a single word from any doctor. Was that good or bad? We had tried talking to doctors, nurses and even security but they didn´t know any thing. They never came with updates. Alison was fast asleep in my lap snoring. All the girls were asleep in the waiting room and the boys were having a hard time trying to stay awake. The only one of them who weren´t going to fall asleep any minute was Liam. He was sipping cup after cup of coffee to keep himself awake. I understood him one hundred percent. There had to be any news coming soon. 

Right now I don´t dear to even thing a thought about anything. Because everything is uncertain. Lexie changed me for the better. You can´t just take one of the better souls in this world away. My heart is throbbing like crazy. It´s all so confusing. Is she alive? She has to be. Fuck how unpredictable life is. Fuck everything except her.

"Niall Horan?" Someone spoke and my head shot in their direction. A doctor was standing there looking for me. I shot up from the floor with Alison still in my grip and stumbled over to the doctor.

"She´s awake." He announced and I wanted to lay down on the floor and scream out of happiness. She was alive. She was here just a few rooms away from. A weight was instantly lifted off my shoulders as I let out a sigh of relief.

"Can I see her?" My voice was begging. I needed to fucking see her now. This have been the longest four hours without her. Her life was in a thin line swaying between live and death. But I knew that she would never leave me. 

"Yes, but only two at the time." He mumbled gesturing to the waiting room. We were a lot of people. What can I say? We´re a big family.

"Liam!" I yelled and he ran up from his chair with Danielle by his side. I handed Alison over to Dani and then put my hand on Liam´s shoulder. His face was confused as a smile appeared on my face.

"She´s awake!" I screamed and his eyes went wide before he screamed yes and we gave each other a bro hug before turning to the doctor.

"Come with me." He said and we followed him down the hall. Only a few metres left and I get to see my beautiful girl.

Lexie´s POV:

My eyes was travelling around the room looking at the white walls. My eyes felt so heavy and I dropped my gaze down to my arm where an IV was inserted. What the hell? I then started to look around and it was then I noticed I was in a hospital. I was about to sit up when I felt a stinging pain in my stomach and that´s when the memories came flooding in.

The pain, the blood, Niall carrying me out to the car before it all became black. I looked down at my belly and it was still huge. This means that my baby is still alive right?

I was about to call for anyone when the door pushed open and a doctor came in followed my Niall and Liam. As soon as Niall eyes met mine he ran towards me and sat down on a chair beside me. He cupped my cheeks as the tears fell from my eyes. There was no way to stop them now. Before I knew it I was sobbing like a baby. Niall held me close while stroking my hair.

"You have no idea how much you scared us Lex. Thank you so so much for not leaving me." Niall was also crying and I hugged him tightly back. He pulled away and then smashed his lips against mine. "I love you so much Niall." I whispered and he returned the "I love you." Niall pulled away so Liam could get a hug.

"You almost had me shitting bricks." He mumbled and I laughed while the tears were still flowing down my cheeks like the Niagara falls. I was hugging him like there was no tomorrow. For all I now, I might not even had a tomorrow.

"Thank you so much for saving my life. And my baby." I turned my head towards the doctor as I wiped my tears away. He nodded and smiled in return.

Niall sat down next to me again and grabbed my hand. He started to trace my fingers with his thumb as we waited to hear what happened from the doctor.

"Lexie, you have been stressing your body out which caused your body to hyperventilate. That means that it became damage as the baby got pressed against the womb. That made the fetus  stop breathing and the womb started to bleed.                                                                                                                               Luckily for you, you got her fast enough so we could fix it. We managed to stop the bleeding after a few hours and everything is fine with the baby now. You should be able to move around in two days but until that time you are only allowed to leave the bed when you need to use the toilet. For the rest of your pregnancy you are going to stay inside and relax. No stressing, no running. Understood?"

I let my brain process the information. All this was caused because I was stressing out. If I knew that stress would almost kill the baby and me I would have taken it so much slower but that is easier said and done. With all the things happening the last months it was hard to be calm and relax.

"Our baby is alive. You´re alive. Everything is going to work out. And you heard the doctor. No moving around." Niall said and pressed a kiss to my forehead. I nodded and closed my eyes for a brief moment.

"I can´t even tell you how happy I´m now." Liam laughed while a few tears slipped his eyes. 

"Ready to meet the others? Liam asked and I smiled.

Our family, my relationship with Niall is a mess. A beautiful mess that I wouldn´t trade for anything in the world.
