Elounor's baby

Louis' birthday

Louis' profile: 24th December:

"Happy birthday, Lou." Eleanor whispered in my ear.

I opened my eyes and saw Eleanor lying down next to me in bed.

"Thank you, babe," I smiled kissing her. "How are you feeling today?"

Eleanor had been having false labor pains again yesterday.

"I've still got some pain, but I'll be fine."

I pulled her into my arms and kissed her again. "Honey is taking forever."

Eleanor rolled her eyes and tutted. "Louis William Tomlinson, your daughter will come when she's good and ready. Now do you want your present first or breakfast?"

"Present!"

Eleanor  tried to get off the bed but I stopped her.

"Oh no you don't. I've put you on bed rest, just tell me where it is and I'll get it."

Eleanor rolled her eyes and pointed to the wardrobe. "The bottom of the wardrobe."

I got up, opened the wardrobe door and saw a box wrapped in birthday wrapping paper.

I picked it up and walked back to the bed. "This it?"

El nodded. "Happy birthday, Lou."

I smiled back, ripping the paper off and opening the box. It was a picture frame with a photo of us from our wedding day.

"Thanks baby," I said kissing her. "It's lovely."

I put the box to the side and pulled El onto my lap.

"I'm twenty-three," I sighed. "I'm getting old."

"You're not getting old. You're twenty-three." Eleanor replied wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Yeah, but I still feel old." I sighed.

"Quit complianing. You're not old," Eleanor gave me a light tap on the shoulder. "Now, me and baby are hungry, let's go get breakfast."

I stood up and picked Eleanor up bridal style.

I carried her down the stairs and to the kitchen. I helped her sit down in a chair at the table and walked to the cupboard.

"So what do you fancy for breakfast?" I asked.

Eleanor shrugged. "I don't know...I'll just have some toast, I'm not feeling very well."

I got the bread and butter out and made the toast. "Do you want to go to hospital?"

"No, not until I'm in real labor. Just give me some pain killers."

I prushed the lever on the toaster down and went up stairs to mine and El's bedroom where the pain killers were on Eleanor's bedside table.

Once I grabbed them, I went back to the kitchen.

"There you go, love." I said handing the box to El.

I got a glass and filled it with some water and gave that to Eleanor too.

She took two tablets and a gulp of water.

After breakfast we went to the living room where we were met by mum, Dan, the girls and Eleanor's parents.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" They yelled.

I put El back on her feet. "Thanks everyone."

"This is from us and the girls." Mum smiled handing me a box with wrapping paper covering it.

"And this is from us." El's dad said handing me an envalope.

I ripped the wrapping paper off the box and opened it. It was a pear of new football boots.

"Thank you." I said giving mum a hug.

I opened the envolope, it was a gift card for Top shop.

"Thanks." I smiled.

That night:

We had just had dinner and were sitting in the living room, watching 'How the grinch stole Christmas'.

"Louis." Eleanor whispered poking me in the arm.

"Yeah?" I asked looking at her.

"I'm going to go upstairs and take a nap..."

I cut her off. "I'll carry you..."

It was El's turn to cut me off. "Louis, I'm sure she isn't going to come just by me walking up a flight of stairs."

She kissed my cheek and got up. "I'll see you in a bit."

I watched Eleanor walk out the room and heard her footsteps up the stairs.

"Give her some space, Louis," Eleanor's mum said. "You've been carrying her around the house for that past couple of days."

"Yeah but what if she goes into labor and I miss it."

"You won't miss it, she'll be crying for you."

We continued watching the film until we heard Eleanor yell.

"L-LOUIS!" She cried.

I got up and ran up stairs as fast as I could.

"El, where are you?" I asked poking my head around the bedroom door, only to see she wasn't there.

"I'M IN HERE!" Eleanor yelled from the bathroom.

I walked into the bathroom and saw Eleanor on the floor crying her eyes out. Her legs infront of her.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"I-it's Honey...she's coming." Eleanor cried with tears running down her face.

"Ok, babe, come on we've got to..."

Eleanor shouted. "SHE'S COMING NOW! YOU'RE DAUGHTER IS COMING RIGHT NOW!"

My eyes went wide and I franticly looked around for a towel or a blanket to wrap Honey up in.

Once I found a towel drapped over the side of the bath, I sat infront on Eleanor and helped her get ready to deliver.

"Ok, babe, next time you want to push, push."

After a while, a little cry filled the room.

"El, she's...she's..." I could talk, I was speechless.

"She's what? What's wrong?" Eleanor began to panic.

"That's the thing...there's nothing wrong...she's perfect." I said with some tears running down my cheeks.

I wrapped Honey up in the towel and passed her to her mummy. "Meet Honey Johanna Penelope Rose Tomlinson."

Eleanor took her and looked down at the little baby. "You're right, she is perfect. Our baby girl."

I sat next to El and wrapped an arm around her. "I delivered my daughter..."

"How many twenty-three year olds can say that." Eleanor joked.

We heard footsteps come up the stairs.

"Louis, Eleanor, what's going on? We heard a baby crying, are Ernest and Doris alright?" Mum asked. "Where are you two?"

"We're in here mum." I said not looking up from Honey, who had two big blue eyes like mine.

Mum walked in and stopped in her tracks. "What happened..."

She looked at us like we had both grown two heads.

"Eleanor had the baby?"

We both nodded.

Mum was quiet for a few seconds before she ran and yelled down the stairs. "ELEANOR'S HAD THE BABY!"

I looked at El and laughed. "Best birthday ever."
