*5 MONTHS LATER*

You rolled out of bed, your feet were the size of elephant feet, your stomach was the size of China. Six months pregnant already. You felt like you were going to explode.

It was spring time, you took the spring and summer semester off of college so you could prepare the nursery and not have to miss school when you deliver the babies.

You got up and made some breakfast. You moved into Harry's flat about a month ago, you wanted to be closer to his mum Anne. It had been 6 months since you talked to your parents. They haven't tried calling you since you told them your news about Harry and you.

As you got ready to go to your six month check up you took a shower. You hadn't worn make-up in a long time. You were just too drained to do any of that stuff anymore. All you ever wanted to do was sleep and eat.

You put on a pair of leggings that you just bought to fit your butt these days and a baggy sweater. You put your hair up in a pony tail grabbed your phone and left. You drove yourself to the doctor’s office. It felt awful not having your husband there with you but of course he had to be gone.

You got to the doctor’s office and they took you back immediately, you pulled up Skype on your phone and Harry was on.

You: Hey babe!

Harry smiled: Hi! Are you going back now?!

You: Yes! I'm so excited!

Harry: Me too! Let's see how big you are!

You: You just saw me on Skype last week!

Harry gave you a pout face and you had the doctor hold you phone as you stood sideways,

Harry smiled: They're getting so big!

You: Yeah, and kicking like crazy!

Harry laughed; you set your phone up so Harry could see you and the baby monitor. They put the cold gel on your stomach again. They found your babies.

Ultrasound Tech: There they are!

You laughed and looked back at Harry he was tearing up. You looked back at the monitor.

Ultrasound Tech: Are we wanting to know the sexes or keeping that a secret?

You looked at Harry and he nodded: We want to know!

She looked closely at the monitor: Well this one right here is boy....

You: Benjamin!

You could hear Harry laughing and crying at the same time.

Ultrasound Tech: and this one is a girl!

Harry broke down crying and so did you.

You whispered: Darcy..... My baby girl...

They wiped off the gel and handed you the picture. Being pregnant was the most incredible thing in the world. You grabbed your phone and talked to Harry for a bit. You talked about how excited you both were he was coming home in a month. You could hardly wait.

You went to the bed store and got both of the babies cribs, diaper changing stands, toys and books. You read to them all of the time already but you just loved it. They kicked every time you did, they must have loved the sound of your voice.

You got home and Anne was sitting in the driveway. She and Gemma helped you carry everything in. The painters came in later that day. They kept the door closed so the scent wouldn't affect the babies. While everything was being set up you just sat there and ate. It sort of became a hobby, every three hours you would have a new meal.

Gemma and Anne stayed over that night.

Gemma: Sooo?! What did you and Harry decide on names?!

They both were staring at the ultrasound.

You: The boy is Benjamin and the girl is Darcy.

Gemma looked up and smiled: That was always Harry's favorite name.

You: I know.... It's a lovely name.

Anne was tearing up: I'm going to be a grandma!

She came over and hugged you.

That night with Anne and Gemma really made you feel like one of the Styles. They were family to you, more important than your own flesh and blood these days. You seemed to love them more than your own. Anne was more of a mother to you than your own mother was.

You: I’m going to turn in.

Gemma yawned: Yeah me too!

You gave them hugs and went back to yours and Harry's room. You crawled into bed and fell fast asleep.

*May 16th 3AM*

You woke up to a pain in your stomach. You sat up, and held your stomach.

You: Ahh!

You tried to get comfortable but no position was helping, the pain went away and you lay back down. Ten minutes later you felt it come back it was worse this time.

You: OW!! AH! OW!

You heard Gemma and Anne run down the hallway.

Gemma: What's going on?

You: I don't know!

Anne: They're contractions.

Your eyes widened: What?! No they can't be I'm not due for another three months.

Anne ignored your comment and threw a phone to Gemma.

Anne: Call Harry his babies are coming.

Anne uncovered the sheets.

Anne: Okay good your water hasn't broken.

The pain came back.

You: Ahhhhhh!!!!!!

You screamed on the top of your lungs. Anne put two pillows on the ground you put your knees on one and your elbows on another. This position felt better.

Anne: What did....?

Gemma: Next flight in thirty minutes he'll be here in two hours.

Anne grabbed her coat and so did Gemma. They helped you off of the ground and put on your shoes and coat for you. You were still screaming and breathing the technique this stupid pregnancy book told you to do. It wasn't helping!

They put you in the car and drove to the hospital.

Anne: She needs a room now! These babies are coming very soon!

You heard a dripping noise on the ground, you looked down. Your water broke...

The pain was back; you were breathing and screaming all at the same time. You sat in that hospital bed for what seemed like an eternity, your contractions weren't close enough for them to give you a shot for the pain.

You heard someone running down the hallways and screaming “WHERE IS SHE?!” You noticed that husky voice... it was your husband.
