Under Pressure *Completed*

chapter 28

*Niall*

I'm woken up by a throbbing pain in my, well... entire body! Everywhere hurts like I've been shot by a thousand bullets all at once.

"Harry" I whisper to him and clutch my stomach curling myself up into fetal position like i always do when I'm in pain.

I look at the clock and its only... 3:30!!! What?! It can't be, why is this baby keeping me up all the time! Well, it probably will. You know it will.

"Harry please" I say a little bit louder and whine at the pain thrashing through me.

"What? Wher- Oh Niall! oh my god are you ok babe?" he opens his eyes wide to wake himself up, sitting up a bit more, his nickname makes my heart flutter.

"No, it's like everywhere hurts.. especially.. my stomach" I complain, not meaning to but I'm in so much pain right now, and ugh, I can't cry because it isn't that bad but it's bad. But not crying bad.. yeah you get it.

"Aww boo, is there anywhere in particular that really hurts?" he asks leaning over to me, I unfold myself and wrap my arms round Harry, he rubs my back and that's the spot. I relax into his warming touch, his hands are lovely and warm.

"My back" I mumble into him and he rubs my back soothingly in big circles, with his big warm hands.

"I'm sorry to wake you up Harry, Im just in so much pain" I whine and let Harry comfort me.

"It's alright boo, I've told you before it's alright to wake me up, even if it's just a bad dream and you want a cuddle, I'll be awake in a whisper" he kisses my cheek and snuggles into me.

"I knew I could count on you" he smiles and rubs my back even more, digging his fingers in everywhere and it's helping, he has magic hands. I shut my eyes in the relief I'm getting and forget about the pain for a minute.

"Do you want me to get you some water and paracetamol?" Harry's voice is like an angel in the morning

"Yes please" Harry kisses my forehead and leaves the room to get the required equipment.

I lay down and die silently. Is this what girls are on about when they complain about periods?! cos now I understand.

I start thinking about this baby and when it's born.

What if it's a boy?

Through the toddler years, he'd be super adorable! "Baby Jakey!", I can imagine when he's a teenager too.. "Jake Horan! Get your ass outta bed!"

I laugh quietly at the thought of it and try to take my mind off the pain.

What If it's a girl?!

Little Scarlett Horan.. or to be honest whatever Harry wants to call her! Whatever he wants.

"Hey little girlie!" I can see a little Scarlett laughing as her dad tickles her and teases her.

or as a teenager.. telling me or Harry that she thinks she had her first period. I'd take care of her as I understand what pain is. Or get Ellie to help her.

I smile at the thoughts and don't cringe at all thinking of my little girl on her period. It's normal.

Just then Harry returns with the promised water and paracetamol, also a hot water bottle, some more fluffy blankets and some hot chocolate! (A/N hot cocoa for Americans)

"You're literally the best boyfriend ever" His smile fills the room with light as he sits next to me in the dark room and let's me take the medicine, as I'm sitting now propped up against the head board, Harry puts the hot water bottle on my lower abdomen, instantly relaxing my tense muscles there. He flips the blanket around the back of is both and puts his arm round me.
