Liam.

After helping Aubri up the stairs and into the ballroom for our reception, Harry pulls me aside and motions to Aubri & Harlee before whispering urgently, "ahh we have a bit of a situation here."

This is the fastest I've ever heard Harry speak.

Really observing the two, my wife appears to be talking quietly to Harlee while she can't seem to catch her breath. It also looks like Harlee got her dress wet... oh!

Running over to them, I kneel before Harlee and Aubri almost yells at me to get them to the hopsital. Harry, who looked frozen in place, snaps to attention and runs to go find Paddy and Paul and we carefully walk Harlee to the van before zooming to the hospital, the other guys and family jumping into vans to follow.

Pulling into the emergency room, Harry and Aubri help Harlee into a wheelchair and they take her in, with Harry following close behind and Aubri makes her way over to a row of seats, but instead of sitting, she's pacing the ground and looking anxiously at the doors every few moments. I laugh as she goes over to the nurses desk to inquire about exactly who is allowed in the back with Harlee. I'm guessing she didn't care for the answer she got because in no time, she's sighing and back to pacing the ground. If I didn't know any better, you would think it was her child.

Pulling her into my arms, I finally manage to get her to sit down and wait as everyone else starts to pour into the waiting area of the hospital. Niall strolls in with a duffle bag and hands it to Aubri. Noting her confused expression, "To change. Paparazzi just figured out we pulled a switch on them." Only then do I notice that everyone else has changed into vacation wear instead of wedding clothes. Aubri nods and heads in the direction of the bathroom to change and when she emerges, her dress is in a garment bag that paddy takes from her and stores back in the van and she's now wearing a simple white sundress and her hair is twisted into a side braid. She hands me the bag and I go and change into jeans and a white tee shirt and sneakers.

Interlocking fingers with my wife, we both pop up when the nurse calls our names. The small woman opens the door leading to the maternity ward and she hands us scrubs to put on over our clothes. We walk a short corridor where we come to another door, and on pushing that open, we see Harry in the hallway with tears streaming down his face as he looks through a window. Aubri instantly tenses and I have to admit that my own heart is beating a mile a minute. Harry wipes his face on seeing us and smiles brightly, "They won't let me in there anymore because Harls needs her rest. Come on," Harry grabs Aubri's hand and they almost sprint to the nursery. Her attention is immediately searching for the baby, since Harlee kept the gender to herself.

Aubri gasps as she reads "Fletcher Edward Styles. A baby boy!" She tackles Harry in a hug and they admire the small child that's fast asleep in the hospital bassinet. "He's perfect," she turns and gushes to me. I look through the window and she's right- the little boy is a dead ringer for his dad but i see traces of his mom. The same nurse that brought us in allows us into the nursery and directs Harry to a large rocking chair before placing a receiving blanket over his shoulder and lifting his son out of the bassinet and placing him in his arms.

"Feeding time," the woman explains as Aubri sits on another rocking chair with her phone out, snapping pictures of it all. The nurse then hands Harry the bottle and explains a few simple things to him before standing off to the side so he could feed and bond with his newborn. Harry's attention is solely on the baby in his arms & I have to admit, it's making me excited to have my own children with Aubri. Harry looks like he's fallen in love with the little one. Harry glances up to smile at us and then he gasps.

"What is it?" Aubri is immediately on alert, "what's wrong?"

Harry stares at the baby in amazement, "he has my eyes." Turning the baby so we can see his face clearly, we realize he's is telling the truth. The little one has the same emerald green eyes as his dad while he blinks and looks around his surroundings with unfocused vision. Fletcher reaches a little hand, covered in protective mittens, and when Harry places in finger on the mitt, closes his tiny hand before falling back asleep. Shifting the baby onto his shoulder, the nurse directs Harry on how to burp the baby before allowing him to place his sleeping son back in his bassinet. Placing a kiss on the child's forehead, the nurse closes the nursey door and opens up the adjoining room where Harlee is. Seeing her wide away, Aubri skips into the room and sits on the bed and the two women hug and immediately start gushing about the baby. Harry walks over to kiss Harlee's temple and I kiss her cheek before we leave them to go tell everyone else the good news.

Stopping at the gift store, we buy a few teddy bears for Harlee and I pick up a special teddy bear for Aubri and then we grab some treats for our waiting friends and family.

Harry, pushes a teddy bear dressed in blue out the door before stepping out and exclaiming, "It's a boy!" Everyone laughs before Zayn goes "Because the teddy bear in all blue didn't tell us that already." Showing everyone the pictures I took of the baby, they all congratulate Harry and I get a warm feeling in my chest. All these people here are my family and I would do anything to keep them safe.

Reality sets in as it dawns on me that Niall said the paps were now on the hunt to find ot where we had gone and what we've been doing. That means now, more than ever, Aubri, Harlee and now little Fletcher need protection from this crazy life we live. The fans know where we live and that makes for mayhem.

We've got to move.
