One year later

"Baby!! Harry, the baby, the baby...Harry...the baby is coming!!!" shouted Zayn from their living room.

Zayn heard a loud thump, then a crash upstairs. "Are you alright?" he shouted from the bottom landing.

"Yes, I'm coming", said Harry. "FUCK , I think I broke my ankle".

"Hurry up", said Zayn, as he saw Harry limping down the stairs, before accidentally sliding on the last one and landing in a heap at the bottom. Zayn laughed, "Are you ok? Seriously, did you break something?"

"No, stop laughing, you ass-hat", said Harry, as he stood up and shook his foot, then grabbed his right forearm and rubbed it. "I'm fine. Do you have everything? We might be there a while".

"Yes, yes. I've got everything. Shit, of course I have everything, let's GO", said Zayn excitedly. The two raced for the door, picking up a backpack stocked with supplies as Harry knocked over a house plant in the process.

"Leave it, just leave it", said Zayn. "Let's get to the hospital".

They ran out to Zayn's car and hopped in.

"Zayn! Come on! What the fuck are you doing?" shouted Harry as they sat in the car for 4 seconds and they still weren't moving.

"God dammit, I forgot the keys", said Zayn as he opened the car door, "stay here", he said as he ran for the door of the house. Hopping three steps, he landed on the top and shoved his shoulder into the door while his hand tried to turn the doorknob, but it didn't move. "OH FUCK", Zayn looked back at Harry who was waiting impatiently with his window down. "You locked the door", shouted Zayn.

"Of course I locked the door, I'm not an idiot", said Harry, as he climbed out of the car and ran to the steps where he handed Zayn his house keys. "Hurry the fuck up, Zayn".

Zayn, grabbing the key and unlocking the door in two seconds flat, raced back into the house where he tripped over the house plant Harry had knocked over and almost broke his own ankle. "SHIT!" he said, limping through the house to the kitchen where he kept his car keys.

"Could you move any slower?" asked Harry from the bottom of the step outside the house.

"Shut up, you wanker", Zayn shouted as he found the key to the car and ran back out of the house.

"Did you lock it?" Harry asked Zayn.

"Shit", Zayn said, hurriedly as he climbed the four steps to the entrance and locked the house again.

"Can we go now?" asked Harry, glaring at Zayn.

"Shut up", Zayn said as he passed Harry and threw his arm around his shoulders and squeezed him tightly.

Harry laughed at how stupid Zayn was and mocked him as soon as they both got into the car. 'Yes, Yes, I've got everything....of course I have everything', he said, mimicking Zayn's words. "Everything except the car keys, which we need to like...actually DRIVE somewhere", he grinned.

"You're such a brat, remind me why I love you", Zayn said as he stuck his tongue out at Harry.

"Nevermind, can we please get to the hospital? I don't want to miss anything", Harry said.

They quickly parked the car in the hospital parking garage when they arrived and raced inside. Zayn was texting Liam on the phone and relaying the messages to Harry as they walked.

Finding the information desk, Harry spoke to the clerk at the counter, "Where is the place...you know...where you have babies...well not "you"...but where people, women people...where they have babies...what's it called...the place where the babies leave the womb", he said.
