Labor Pt. 2

-VERY LONG, VERY IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE IN THE END, FT. AN APOLOGY-

*First off, i wrote that chapter like last year the day after my concert so if it's bad, it's probably because of my emotional distress*

*LET ME JUST TELL YOU FOR A MOMENT THAT I WOKE UP EARLY ON A SATURDAY TO EDIT THIS POORLY WRITTEN PASSAGE AND MY COMPUTER REBOOTED WHEN I WENT TO HAVE A SLICE OF PIZZA AND I GOT SO ANGRY BC I ACTUALLY FIXED IT UP A BIT SO NOW I POSTED IT THIS WAY BECAUSE IM FAR TOO ANGRY AND UNINSPIRED TO TRY AND REVISE THIS AGAIN.*

-Liam Payne-

My hands were clammy, I had lost count over how many times I've swiped them down my pants to get rid of the sweat beading up under my palms. This was it, today was the day. Mia and I would both walk out here with new life cradled in our arms and it would change our lives from the moment we set foot outside.

Just think about it, in at least two or three days from now I would be pronounced a father.

"Oh god," I sigh to myself and I keep a face pace while making my way down the halls of the hospital. My body was gushing with emotions I felt like my ribs were rattling with anxiety and like I'm shivering so much I'll end up throwing up. I was never really fond of hospitals but today, in this moment, the hospital was my best mate. Also, the maternity ward was much more sensible than any other. The walls were a warm eggshell with a pink stripe down the middle.

Oh god, what am I on about? My mind was such at such a scrambled state. All at once I was trying to find Mia's room, indulge in the moments before becoming a father and admire the interior designing.

Is this what being a father does to you?

I can't even imagine having someone so small call me their daddy. It was all so weird. Everything was hitting me now, just as Mia was ready to bring our baby into the world.

Finally I arrived at the door the nurse at the desk directed me to. As I approached it I noticed the door already wide open, and a tedious moan emerging from the room. It sounded like a pain filled moan, as if they were trying to pull through a moment of utter discomfort and agony. It only took me a moment to register it as Mia's voice and I walked straight in as quick as my feet would allow me.

My poor love was already in a hospital gown, bent over the bed, keeping her arms out in front of her while she cried out. I could see her arms shaking and the tears rushing down her face. She hadn't noticed me until she heard me let out a long sigh.

"Liam," My name leaves her mouth like honey, a longing tone. I can see her relax a little but that's only her relief to finally see me.

She tries to hold onto the night stand next to her and waddle up to me but I meet her there, she wastes no time clinging onto me like I'm her last hope, Like everything else around her is collapsing and I'm the only one who can protect her.

"Oh Li," She breathes before the swell of tears bleed into my shirt.

"It's ok baby, I'm here now. I'm here, I won't leave your side for a second." I promise her, having to squeeze my eyes shut so I don't break down along with her. I'm supposed to be her strong hold, her rock. If I start crying, we're all going down.

"Here let's get you to the bed," I offer but she shakes her head. "no no no, I don't want to."

"Mia, c'mon you need to rest."

She hums a no, gripping my shoulders for support while she tries to even out her breathing but it's no use as her sniffles continue of and her breathing hiccups.

"Where's Hannah?" I ask looking around the room not spotting the blonde haired girl anywhere.

"She went to find a nurse," Mia says and almost as soon as she's done speaking Hannah rushes in with a nurse calmly walking in.

"Hello dear, how are you feeling?" The nurse says with a warm smile.

Mia just groans, her grip tightening on me once more.

Oh god, I don't even think I have permission to say "Heyy Lovies!" I know you all want to cut my head off for not posting in literally almost a year. Believe me though, I have been on Wattpad every single day since then working on other things I can promise you that, I just simply have a crazy fear of posting something then immediately losing interest. Now, what seems to surprise me the most is that you guys are still diligently asking me to wrap up the book! I know I should, and believe me I have wanted to, but my writing style has changed so much and I find it very hard for me to write in first person anymore. I know that many people cringe at the thought of third person ( i did too, trust me) but I needed something more challenging to take on with my writing and I also didn't feel to comfortable with writing in first person anymore.

I am willing to put forth effort to finish this book, who knows maybe even add in a few extra chapter after the birth but I will be taking some time to decide whether I will write it in first or third person. Personally, I'm leaning towards the third person so you can have the quality writing and get to read the next few chapters quickly and not have to wait another few months as I procrastinate on first person (which is the main reason I haven't written all along & also due to lack of interest)

So hopefully all of you haven't abandoned me, cos' I certainly have not abandoned you or this book. I'm still terribly greatful for the views and comment and votes and I hope that you guys aren't so upset with me! x

Comment your thoughts on the book so far, maybe which POV you would prefer? Thank you very much lovies and you will be hearing from me again very soon! xxx
