"harry, can you hand me a bottle please?" louis yawns, cradling raven close to his chest. the little one was rooting against his hand when he was tapping on her tiny nose, so louis assumed she was hungry. she wasn't fussy at all, she was actually very quiet. it made louis nervous. weren't babies supposed to make so much noise?

"of course," harry said softly and got a bottle prepared, sitting beside louis in the large hospital bed. "can i see her?"

"she's right here," louis pouts. "see? here she is."

harry narrowed his eyes at his fiancé. "gimme the baby."

"my baby."

"our baby," harry holds the tiny bottle up in his hand. "our baby needs to be fed and i want to feed her."

louis glances down at raven and purses his lips. "daddy is a stinker," he whispers to her, but said it loud enough that harry could hear him.

"mhm," harry kissed his cheek. "you need to rest, baby."

louis sighs but lets his love scoop their child into his arms. he laid back, pulling the blanket up over his body and watched fondly as harry talked to raven while feeding her. she sucked her bottle down like a champ, maintaining eye contact with her father the whole time.

she had bright blue eyes just like louis'. she was practically him made over, just with darker hair. her tiny fists were balled up against her chest as she ate and louis draped one of her baby blankets from the side table over her so she wouldn't be cold. even though the cold air would kill germs, it was still freezing in the hospital.

"we love you so much, baby girl," harry murmured. "you're so beautiful, just like your father..." he continues. "i hope you end up being his twin, because i can never get over how cute he is. and with two louis' around, i would die a happy man."

"you're so cheesy," louis blushes. harry turns his head and shrugs, snuggling his daughter closer.

"it's true. both of my babies are the most beautiful people in this world."

"i love you," louis takes his hand and rests it on harry's arm, stroking his skin with his thumb.

"i love you," harry kissed his forehead. soon raven was finished with her bottle and harry was able to get a little burp out of her. it was almost a silent one until she let out a small grunt after and it made harry laugh a little because she definitely was a miniature lou.

"we get to go home tomorrow," louis rests his head against a pillow behind him. "the doctor said i have been walking around good and haven't shown any complications from the surgery."

"yay," harry grins. "back home in our own bed."

"speaking of home," louis hums, "is raven's crib in our room?"

harry nods. zayn and niall had dragged it across the hallway when they went home. they also fed the dog and their reptile companion, sending the new parents pictures of them playing around. they wanted to make everything as stress free as possible for louis. harry was still shook up over nearly losing his two loves but the three of them were lucky enough to make it out alive and sit here today in a hospital room with louis' heart monitor beeping with prompt beats and raven wrapping her parents around her tiny little fingers. louis barely remembered what happened since he was asleep but he woke up in a blank white room with doctors whirring around to hook him up to machines and take ultrasounds to check on the baby. it was scary, but he was just glad to be alive.
