With the labour/pre-labour stuff, I have no clue if it's similar for males to go through what girls go through, but I'm going to assume it is. Judging by that, I've kinda just spoiled this chapter😂

Andy's P.O.V

Jack shuffled behind us as we walked into the house, the rest of the boys all doing their own thing.

"Bro, you home?" Brook asked, walking out to the hallway. When he saw Jack, he froze in his tracks, obviously unsure of what to do. "Uh, guys...?"

"Brook, this is Jack. Jack, this is Brooklyn, Rye's older brother."

They shook hands, and the hold lingered until Rye cleared his throat, making the two blush lightly.

"Where's Mike?"

"Right here," the boy smiled, also greeting Jack. "We've got a lot of people in here now," he laughed.

"And soon another little one," I giggled. We went into the dining room and sat down to eat.

"Oh, Andy. I placed your hospital bag by the door, just in case," Jon said, smiling. I nodded as a thanks and he sat down.

Jack and Brook seemed to connect pretty easily. Although the age gap between them was the biggest, it definitely didn't seem like it, where their personalities were so similar. Any time Brook whispered something, though, I smirked when Jack blushed, then tried to hide it. He caught my eye and gave me a look, making me laugh.

Later

I yawned and told Rye I was going upstairs, where he told me he was coming anyway. Lying down, I couldn't ignore the back pain that I had throughout the whole day, and Rye massaged the area.

"Any day now, and we'll have our little girl," he smiled, kissing my lips passionately.

"Can you believe she's due the day before our anniversary?" I laughed.

"Well, it'd be pretty damn perfect if she did come then, wouldn't it?"

I felt Aliana kick lightly, groaning a little.

"She'll probably love football like you, Beaumont," I said with a laugh. "What do you think she'll look like?"

"I have no clue, baby. But I know she'll be beautiful."

Yawning again, I closed my eyes, and I could hear Rye singing softly.

"Your singing voice is incredible," was the last thing I said before falling asleep.

Early next morning

My eyes snapped open, and I checked my phone, groaning when it said 5:35am. Closing my eyes, I shifted a little, to feel something strange underneath me. Trying to sit up, it was as if someone was pressing down on my stomach and I cried out.

"Babe?" Rye opened his eyes, looking up with a concerned expression. He helped me sit, and pulled away the duvet. "A-Andy, I think your waters have broken."

I looked down and sure enough, there was a wet patch on the bed. I panicked a little, only to have the same clenching pain.

"C-contractions," I gasped, screwing my eyes shut. Rye jumped out of bed and grabbed my phone.

"BROOKLYN! MIKEY!" He scrolled through my phone as the two, followed by Jack and Jon, ran in. "His waters broke. I'm calling Ethan, and Holly." Ethan was my doctor, Holly being my midwife.

Jack and Mikey put their hands under my arms, helping me out of bed. My knees buckled and I collapsed back onto the bed, followed by yet another contraction.

Jon got a flannel, wiping away the sweat on my forehead, as I tried to stand up, taking deep breaths.

"Okay, Holly said to get to the hospital now. Come on, babe," Rye said, helping me too. Mikey and Jon offered to stay and I gave them a weak smile, going down to the car.

"Get his bag," Rye said to Jack and strapped me in, getting into the driver's seat himself. I groaned with another contraction, counting 20 minutes after each one and trying to take deep breaths.

"I love you," Rye laughed, kissing me on the lips softly. I giggled, and kissed back.

"I love you too, Rye. Let's go and meet our daughter."

At the hospital

Rye's P.O.V

As soon as we'd arrived, the doctors had rushed Andy away to start the cesarean, whilst Jack and I paced outside in the waiting area anxiously.

"I know this is bad timing, Rye, but I really am sorry for being a burden to you guys. I just... I didn't know what to do, and Andy honestly means so much to me," Jack said, trying to stop his hands from shaking.

"It's fine, mate. But right now, let's just focus on Andy and my baby."

I watched as Ethan walked out, coming towards me.

"H-how is he?" It had been 3 hours, and only now had someone come to us.

"They're just finishing up. I came out here to tell you that she is a month premature, but it's absolutely nothing to worry about. From what I can tell so far, your daughter is a healthy baby, Prince Ryan."

I sighed in relief, shaking his hand. "Thank you so much, Ethan. You're a star."

"It's my pleasure. We'll only be about five more minutes then we'll get her cleaned up. Andy will be asleep for about 15 minutes when you go in," he nodded. I thanked him again and he walked away.

"Holy shit, I'm a father," I laughed, still not being able to believe it completely.

"I know. How does it feel?"

"Strange, but I can't wait."

***

"Here she is," Holly said, bringing in a little bundle. Andy gasped, taking it from her.

"Oh my God, she's gorgeous," he whispered. "Hi, baby girl."

I leaned over, and an overwhelming wave of emotions passed over me. I hadn't really believed in what people had said, about not truly knowing what love is until you have your first child. Now, I knew. She was pink, with wisps of brown hair. Opening her eyes, I couldn't help but well up when I saw she had Andy's ocean blue eyes. He handed her to me and I smiled down at her, happy tears running down my cheeks.

"What are you going to call her?" Holly asked.

"Aliana Rose Beaumont," Andy smiled, and I kissed him passionately. Jack had left a little while ago with Brook to get Mikey and Jon, and they all rushed in.

"My niece," Brook gasped, carefully taking Aliana from me. "God, she's gorgeous!"

"Wonder who she gets that from," Andy laughed.

Aliana started crying and Brook handed her back to Andy.

"Seems she doesn't like you, bro," I chuckled, kissing Andy's forehead. My brother scowled, shaking his head.

Andy yawned. "I'll come back in a bit, angel. Okay? Get some rest," I said, taking our daughter from him gently.

Andy nodded and smiled weakly. "See you later."

I decided to go and call Mum and Dad, as well as Andy's parents, who said they'd be here tomorrow.
