My Soldier (z.s.)

Nineteen

*4 Months Later*

Harry was gone and Zayn was extremely pregnant. Taking care of Delilah became a chore because his stomach got in the way too much. He couldn't wait to see his baby girl for the first time.

It was March 29th and he was due any time now. But he felt a weird inkling that today might be the day.

Zayn was heartbroken that Harry would only get to see their beautiful baby over FaceTime, but he knew he'd find a way to make it work.

What he didn't know, was that Harry had already booked a flight home to be there after Zayn's surgery.

He was going to be there for the birth of his new baby girl.

Zayn's contractions were developing quickly and he knew, the minute he sat down that his water had broke.

The chair became sopping wet and his stomach was cramping terribly.

Zayn: "Del, grab baba his phone, hurry!"

She rushed quickly to the table and fetched Zayn's phone. He immediately called Niall to watch Delilah while he went to the hospital.

Niall: "hello?"

Zayn: "water just broke, need you to come stay with Del."

Niall: "were on our way"

Zayn called his mom next, to take him to the hospital. He knew he wouldn't be able to withstand the contractions well enough to drive himself.

Trisha: "hello?"

Zayn: "mom I need you to take me to the hospital, the baby is coming"

Trisha: "coming darling"

Zayn: "thank you"

He sighed, his contractions finally soothing for a second.

Delilah: "baba?"

Zayn: "hmm?"

Delilah: "is Delaney coming?"

Zayn: "she is, your gramma is gonna come take me to the hospital while you stay here with Uncle Ni, Uncle Lou, and Avery okay?"

Delilah: "mhm, when will I get to see her?"

Zayn: "pretty soon baby girl"

She smiled and kissed Zayn's belly before he FaceTimed Harry, not knowing if he'd answer.

Harry: "hey babe, you okay?"

Zayn: "the baby is coming Harry"

Harry: "oh my god"

Zayn: "my mums on her way, Del is staying with her uncles and...I'm gonna have our second baby."

Harry: "I can't wait to meet her"

Zayn: "I wish you were the one driving me baby"

Harry: "me too my love, but I'll be home in a month okay?"

Zayn: "I'll call you when she's born"

Harry: "I love you with every inch of me, be strong okay?"

Zayn: "mhm, I love you too"

Zayn blew Harry a kiss before Niall, Louis, Avery, and his mom all came rushing through the door.

Zayn stood up and walked to the door, thanking Louis and Niall, kissing Delilah goodbye, and rushing off to the car.

Once they'd made it to the hospital, they immediately took Zayn back. They were ready to operate almost instantly.

Trisha kissed him goodbye and wished him luck before they wheeled him away and put him asleep for the surgery.

While Trisha was resting in the waiting room, a happy Harry walked through the doors.

Trisha: "Harry!"

Harry: "hey Mrs. Malik!"

Trisha: "Zayn said you wouldn't be here love"

Harry: "I know, I wasn't supposed to be, but this means too much to him and I can't wait to surprise him."

Trisha: "Delaney is gonna be absolutely beautiful, you two make gorgeous babies"

Harry chuckled and sat down beside her

Harry: "it's all him"

She tapped him on the shoulder, protesting his comment.

An hour passed and the doctor came out to grab the visitors.

All 3 uncles, Delilah, Harry's mum, Zayn's mum, and of course Harry.

Doctor Withers: "who would like to see the baby first?!"

Harry stood up

Harry: "he uh...he doesn't know I'm here because I'm supposed to be over seas so I'd like to see him first if that's okay?"

They all smiled and nodded before Harry followed the doctor down the hallway to Zayn's room.

He peeked in the door first, finding Zayn with a tear stained face, holding Delaney.

Doctor Withers: "Zayn"

He looked up at her

Doctor Withers: "I have someone here who wants to see you first"

Zayn: "who is it?"

Harry walked in and Zayn's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Zayn: "babe!"

Doctor Withers grabbed ahold of the baby while Harry met Zayn with the most gracious kiss.

Zayn: "I thought- how are you- what?!"

Harry chuckled

Harry: "I'm here, I couldn't miss this baby."

Zayn: "do you wanna hold her?"

Harry: "of course I do"

Zayn slid over, his stomach extra sore. He left a space for Harry to sit next to him on the bed at Doctor Withers placed a sleeping Delaney in his arms.

Harry: "holy shit she looks just like you"

Zayn: "I know...Delilah is a spitting image of you, and Delaney looks identical to me. We've got both."

Harry: "they're both the two most beautiful girls I've ever met"

Zayn cooed at Harry and they pressed their lips together before focusing their remaining attention back on the baby.

Once everyone else came in they all took turns holding Delaney and rocking her back and forth.

Trisha: "my god she looks like like you Zayn"

Harry: "that's what I said! Now I've gotta worry about 2 gorgeous babies having boyfriends."

Zayn: "that's the downside huh?"

Anne: "especially since they're both so beautiful"

Delilah smiled, her dimples pressing into her cheeks...just like Harry.

Their family was complete, and nothing made them happier.

Zayn: "will you always be my soldier babe?"

Harry: "I'm forever and always yours."

Zayn: "we make some beautiful kids don't we?"

Harry: "the prettiest"

Their lips met, while Delilah and Delaney sat contently in their laps, all at the same time as their moms were snapping family photos.

This was their idea of a perfect life.
