Shades Of Styles

Long Imagine 10

I stare at the ultra sound of my daughter, she will be here in 2 short weeks, I can't believe it's been 9 months already. Harry is still in shock, I am too a little. 2 children is going to be so difficult.
"Alright, I'll go get that printed out for you and we'll see you guys back in 2 weeks." Our doctor smiles at me, wiping off the jell.
"Harry are you gunna be okay?" I ask with a laugh.
"Y-Yeah. It just got really real." He says, staring at the wall.
"Harry, you're acting crazy, this isn't our first baby."
"Yes! But it's our first since our first. We're going to have two now." He yells like I didn't realize.
"Harry, it'll be okay." I assure him.

We go home with our most recent picture of our beautiful baby. When we get home we see Darcy and Anne playing dolls in the living room.
"Darcy!" I call, she turns and sees me. She runs to me and I pick her up.
"Where's the baby?" She asks.
"I told you she won't be here for another 2 weeks." I explain.
"I just want to meet her already." She huffs.
"Soon, okay?" I assure her as I set her down. She nods and goes back to her dolls. I take the ultrasound photo out of my purse and place it on the fridge next to her first one. 
"Can you believe it Anne?" I ask her as I admire the pictures. "Can't believe it's been almost 9 months." I brush my hand over my bloated stomach.
"Yeah, I remember when I was pregnant with Harry, Gemma was 4, Harry was only a week away and I was so nervous, I was scared to have 2 children. Harry's father wasn't worried a bit. He was excited because he'd finally have his son. But when Harry was born I wasn't nervous anymore, I looked into those beautiful eyes of his and all I could feel is love." Anne assures me.
"That's how it felt with Darcy, I was so happy to have her in my arms, any scared feelings I had, disappeared." I shrug, turning to Darcy and Harry as they play.
"I hope our next baby is a boy though, Harry would be so happy to have a boy running around."
"I don't know, ever since Harry was little he's always talked about raising a little girl." Anne smirks.
"Oh yeah? Well with Amelia on her way he seems very on edge."
"Of course he is, two girls is gunna be really tough. Girls are hard to manage." Anne laughs.
"Tell me about it." I laugh with her.

2 days Later
I wake up, a sharp pain shoots through my lower half and I know exactly what it is, I reach in between my legs and I feel the wetness, clarifying that my water broke.
"Harry." I shake him and he stirs. "My water broke." I say louder and in 2 seconds, he stands and turns the light on.
"Are you sure?" He asks and I nod. I get out of bed slowly and grab my phone to call Anne, she answers within two rings because I warned her, if I ever call this late at night, it could only mean one thing.
"On my way." She says before I can even tell her what's going on.
Harry has our overnight bag in hand and walks me to the door.
"We can't leave until Anne gets here. Should we wake Darcy?" I ask.
"Yeah." He nods. He places the bag down and we walk to Darcy's room.
"Darcy. Love." Harry whispers as he kneels down to her level. She slowly wakes up and looks up at us.
"Is the baby coming?" She asks.
"Yes she is sweetie." Harry smiles. "Grandma Anne is coming and when Amelia is here Grandma will bring you to meet her." Harry assures.
"We love you." I tell her and we give her a bunch of kisses.
"I'm gunna go back to sleep now." She yawns and lays down. We leave the room and close the door. Anne is already in the living room.
"Thanks mum. We will call you when we're ready to have you." Harry tells her, grabbing the bag and we head for the car.

As we rush to the hospital I feel a contraction and I let a yelp as I cry, clutching Harry's arm. When it's over I release him from my grip and let out a breath.
"What was that, like 15 minutes apart?" Harry asks. I nod and let out a few more breaths.
When we get to the hospital we are quickly admitted and I get dressed in my hospital gown and set up to the monitors. Harry sits on the chair next to me and holds my hand as we wait.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Styles. Good to see you again. And so soon." Our doctor greets us. "Let's just get a look, to see how dilated you are."
She sits down in between my legs and feels inside.
"You're just about 2 centimeters, we got a long way to go.  Sit tight." She winks and leaves the room.
"Only two?! This is gunna be a long night." I cry out.

By 2pm I'm only 6 centimeters with contractions that are 7 minutes apart and I want to scream at someone.
"If this baby doesn't get out of me right now I'm going to reach in and pull her out." I scream. Harry winces next to me and I start crying.
"Who's ready for an epidural." The nurse asks as she comes in.
"Me. Please god me." I beg, my grip getting tighter around the bed post.
Once the epidural is in, I can feel myself calming down and after only 5 minutes I'm so relaxed I can't even tell if I'm still in labor.

I wake up to a knock on the door and then enters our doctor. The light flicks on and I wince.
"I'm just going to do a quick check, to see how far along you are." She informs me.
She checks and then there's a smirk on her face.
"You, Mrs. Styles are ready to start pushing." She tells me. "Let's get dad awake." She tells the nurse. I watch as the nurse walks over to Harry and he wakes up.
"Baby time." The nurse jokes. Harry jolts up and runs to me.
"Okay, on the count of 3 I need you to push for 10 seconds." She orders. Harry grips my hand and after 3 I push as she counts for 10 seconds. Its really not that bad with the epidural.
"Okay (Y/N) I'm gunna need another big push, ready?" She asks and nod, I throw my head back and push as hard as I can for 10 seconds and then I release, letting out a breath.
"One more, we need to get the shoulders" she tells me. "It needs to be big."
I push with all my energy and by the end of it I hear a small cry coming from my new baby and I start crying as they hold her up for me.
They place her on my now naked chest and I cry as I hold her. I watch Harry cut the umbilical cord and then they take her from me.
