Patch Our Hearts

Epilogue

Third person P.O.V.

"To Harry and Abby, the new parents of Ava Ann Styles," Nolan said, raising his Styrofoam cup filled with coffee to the others'.

"To Harry and Abby," the rest of the group mumbled, hitting glasses together and taking sips.

Harry ran his hands through his hair, overjoyed. It was four a.m., and he'd just gone through hours of labor with Abby. The outcome was a beautiful baby girl who looked just like her mother. His best friends had been there the whole time, sitting in the waiting room or cafeteria of the hospital. 

Abby was laying on her hospital bed, Ava sleeping in her arms as her mother watched the baby sleep. Even though she had been to the hospital countless of times, she would say this would be her favorite; if you could have a favorite.

Harry thanked everyone, the bags underneath his eyes showing more than usual, as he headed back into the room with his newborn.

Nolan watched the proud father leave as he sipped his coffee.

"Well I better get going, Maria is waiting for me." He stood, nodding at everyone. Liam got up to hug him, and he noticed Louis had fallen asleep.

His girlfriend wasn't the only reason he had to depart, Nolan also had an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in a few hours.

Ryder smiled at Nolan, Carina telling Nolan to say hello to Maria for her, before looking over at his own girlfriend.

"I hope we could be in that room one day," Ryder said, nodding his head towards the room.

"We could meet Ava later, let Abby get her sleep," Carina mumbled, still half asleep as she put her head onto Ryder's shoulder.

"No I mean you and I having a child," Ryder smiled, and Carina's eyes met his.

Carina was speechless, her mouth open a little. 

"Not right now, just sometime-" Ryder started backtracking in panic.

"Sometime would be amazing," Carina whispered, connecting a kiss with Ryder.

"I love you so much," Ryder whispered the truth, because he was a few weeks away from proposing to his life-long best friend, who was also the love of his life.
