TOUR [ H.S ]

71. Alexander.

Katie:

"H-harry." I panted out and all heads were turn towards Harry who was rushing himself to dress up for a more suitable outfit in the delivery room.

He immediately ran over to the side of my bed and held my hand tightly,he looked extremely nervous.
"Hey.." whispered Harry as he gave me a nervous smile and i could see his eyes starting to water up already.

"You made it.." I said with tears pooling in my eyes.

"I promised."

Our attention was then focused on me when i felt another contraction,a muffled groan coming out from me."Alright we're gonna need you to do your second push Katie." Instructed the Doctor and i nodded my head quickly,spreading my legs wider and taking in a deep breath before attempting a push as i breathed out.I felt my walls expanding and i knew that the baby's head was already at the surface.

this was it.. i have to keep pushing now.

"Sit up for me love.." whispered Harry as he helped me up slowly,his hands supporting the back of my neck carefully.

God this hurt like a fucking bitch but there's really no turning back right now.

"Just two more pushes and we're good Katie,on the count of one to three i am going to need you to push as hard as you can.You understand me hun?" i started to sob because this was all too pressuring.I was scared and everything hurt.I want my son to come out as healthy as possible,i really don't want to mess anything up.

Harry noticed that i was crying furiously and shivering,so he pushed my hair away from my face so that he can get a better view of me, "I know you're scared my love but this is it,you're going to push with all your strength and i'm going to hold your hand through it all okay?" said Harry as he leaned his forehead against mine.

"O-okay.." i answered him,my voice breaking at the end.

I shut my eyes tightly and waited for the doctor to count,it is now or never. "Start pushing in 3,2,1."
instructed the doctor and so i did.

Everything felt like a blur to me,the sounds of everyone talking were muffled to my ears and i could see the smiles on the nurses faces.Harry kept repeating sweet reassuring words into my ears and it definitely helped a lot. "Last one hun." said the Doctor as i saw him start to position his hands, "Push the hardest you can." He added and i nodded my head.

"3"

It's going to be worth it,it's going to be worth it.

"2"

You're going to love him with everything that you are.

"1"

You won't regret it Katie.

I took a deep breath in and pushed as hard i could for the last time ever and then i heard.. a baby's cry.

I opened my eyes slowly and looked at Harry immediately.He was full on crying with a big smile plastered on his face,i've never seen him like this.

I then watched the nurse approaching towards me with my baby in her arms and i started crying once again the moment she handed my son to me.I looked down at him slowly and my heart just soften at the sight.His eyes were glued shut,his cheeks were red and chubby,his lips were shaped just like Harry's and his fingers were extremely tiny and delicate.Everything about this baby just reminded me of how Harry looks and i couldn't help but smile.

I wanted this.

"O-oh my god..." I heard Harry whisper and i look up to make eye contact with him.

"I'm a dad." he said more clearly this time and i chuckled as he leaned in to give me a sweet kiss on the lips before pulling back and shaking his head in disbelief.The look on Jeff's was indescribable,even he was crying.

I was intrigued with the way my baby looks,he was just perfect.I already feel the emotional connection that every mother feels when they have a child,i never thought i would be able to experience it.It is such a surreal feeling to know that i'm going to be raising this little human in front of me for many many years.I didn't know why i felt so scared in the first place because now when i finally get to hold him in my arms...i felt complete.

"Congrats Kat,he's perfect." said Jeff,placing a kiss on my cheek.

I was really glad that Jeff stood by my side before Harry could make it,i didn't deserve him at all. "Thanks for taking care of me Jeff." i thanked him personally and he nodded his head,giving me a small smile to let me know that it was his pleasure.  

I still felt sad knowing that my mother or Anne couldn't be here to see the baby but as i looked at Harry whispering lovely words to our son with tears of joy... it made me realise that maybe this was all i ever wanted.

Harry:

Perfect.

He was the most perfect human being i've ever laid my eyes on and i felt so lucky knowing that he was mine.All my worries just vanished the moment i saw my own child in the doctor's hands,it's still so surreal.

Katie is one of the strongest people i've ever met in my life.After her mother passed away,she never had the proper time to heal because the baby came a little too quickly.I've never seen her complain about making dinner for Katherine and i after having such a long and stressful day.I've never seen her shed a single tear in front of Katherine.I can see that she was definitely trying to be  someone that seemed mentally strong so that Katherine would grow up with the influence of that.I know that it's tough because i had to deal with it as well..especially after Des left mom,Gemma and i.It was stressful to keep putting on a fake smile in front of them constantly but i knew i had to fake it till i make it and i'm glad it paid off.

"Alex.." i whispered out without thinking and Kat immediately looked up at me,a confused expression plastered on her face.

I was genuinely confused as well because it just slipped out of my mouth from out of nowhere,

Alex..?

I looked at my baby once more as i gently stroked his little cheek with the sides of my index finger.
"What?" Questioned Kat.

"He's Alex,Alexander." i said,very surely this time.

I then saw the smile forming on Kat's face and i knew she was happy about it. "H-harry,He is an Alexander.Alexander Styles." she mentioned and i couldn't help but feel this huge amount of joy in me when she mentioned my last name in our baby's name.

Alexander Styles,he is.
