'Niko' I called from where I was sat in the bathroom, tears streaming down my face

'He just went to the shop' I heard sharky say from the other side of the door 'is everything ok?'

'No' I strained out, crying into my hands

'Can I come in?' He asked worriedly

'Yeah' I cried, not caring that I was sat on the toilet with my knickers and leggings at my knees, he had seen me in all kinds of states

'Oh Brooke' sharky breathed out as he sat on the bath so he was next to me and let me cry into him

'I'm bleeding' I sobbed in a whisper

'I know, it's gonna be ok' sharky cooed and rocked me 'let's get you cleaned up and I'll get us to the hospital'

I nodded as sharky began wiping the blood from my legs, I was just still, unable to move.

'I need niko' I gulped as sharky pulled up my knickers and leggings and helped me stand up

'I'm gonna phone him' sharky nodded, I washed my hands and we left the bathroom

'I'll go and get Theo' I wiped my eyes and sharky nodded, holding his phone to his ear

'Niko, mate, you need to get back here now' I heard him say as I walked in the room where chunkz was playing with my baby

'Are you ok?' He asked worriedly, noticing my tear stained face

'No' I whispered and shook my head, holding back the tears 'I just came for Theo, sharks is gonna take me to the hospital when niko gets back'

'Why? What's wrong?' He asked with panic in his voice

'I'm bleeding' I said before taking a deep breath and biting my bottom lip to keep the tears back

'Shit, ok well I'll come' chunkz nodded 'we all will, for support'

'Thanks' I sobbed 'I need as much of it as I can right now'

...

We all piled into chunkz car, niko was still no where to be seen though. George and Kenny were riding in George's car right behind us.

'How do you feel now?' Aj asked from where he was sat in the passenger seat, turning his whole body to look at me

'Like I'm losing my fucking baby aj, how do you think I feel?' I sassed without thinking 'sorry, I didn't mean that I'm just in pain and really worried'

'It ok' aj nodded 'I get it, stupid question really'

'Ok we're here, you lot go in and I'll find somewhere to park' chunkz instructed as he pulled up at the entrance

Sharky helped me out of the car and aj got Theo out of his car seat, Kenny then ran over and said George was doing the same as chunkz.

...

'Can someone please just phone niko again?' I asked as we all sat in the waiting room through gritted teeth in pain as tears streamed down my face

Sharky pulled out his phone as he sat with Theo on his lap and pressed a few buttons before holding it to his ear.

'Mate where are you?' He finally asked

'Can I talk?' I mimed after a bit and sharky nodded

'Brooke wants a word' sharky said before handing me the phone

'Where are you?' I seethed

'Babe I'm so sorry, I was at the shops then there was no ubers' he explained 'so I walked to the nearest taxi rank and they had no available taxis'

The nurse called my name making me glance up, we all stood up and followed her into the room.

'I have to go' I took a deep breath 'just be here soon, please'

...

'Brooke, this baby is coming' the nurse but her lip 'right now'

'What? No' I shook my head as all the boys looked worried 'I'm only 7 months'

'You've had a baby before haven't you?' She asked calmingly and I nodded 'do these feel like contractions?'

'Yeah' I whispered with a nod

'Yeah, because you're in labour Brooke' she nodded sympathetically 'so are any of these men dad?'

'No' I gritted my teeth as I felt the urge to push 'he's on his way, he needs to be here, I'm not having this baby until he's here'

'I'm afraid you might have to' she looked down between my propped up legs 'this baby is not waiting around for daddy to be here, if you pick two people to stay here so if dad comes he can be the third'

'Sharks and George' I nodded 'are you ok with Theo though boys?'

'Yeah we're fine' chunkz nodded, he had Theo on his hip 'I'll keep phoning niko'

'Thanks' I called as they left the room

'Argh I need to push, come on niko' I cried out as I squeezed George and sharkys hands

'On three darling give me a nice big push' the nurse cooed 'one, two, three'

'A-ahh' I screamed as I pushed as hard as I could

'Good girl, on the next contraction I want an even bigger push ok?' The nurse cheered me on

'I can't' I shook my head 'where is he? I need him here'

'Come on, you're doing so well' sharky brushed my sweaty hair out of my face

'Yeah, Nikos coming, don't worry' George nodded 'just keep doing what you're doing, he'll be here'

'Argh' I pushed again, letting out another scream

'Brooke? Brooke?' I heard shouting as the door flew open and niko sprinted over 'baby I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry'

'Just come here and do something' I struggled out as I was still pushing and crying

'That's it honey, it's nearly over' the nurse reassured me 'come on, one more big push'

'Owww' I pushed one final time before crying filled the room

'Well done baby' niko kissed my forehead as I panted 'I'm so proud of you, I'm sorry I wasn't here for all of it'

'We're proud of you too' sharky said with a smile, squeezing my hand

'Yeah, well done' George nodded with a smile

'Well done Brooke, your baby is going to have to go straight to the nicu' the nurse explained 'but congratulations, it's a ...'
