-:-:-:-

I wake up to a sharp pain in my stomach.
I feel something wet and panic.
"Zayn...Zayn..." I say, shaking him.
He wakes up and immediately sits up.
"What's wrong?"
"The baby's coming."
"Shit."
He jumps up and grabs his phone, multitasking as he helps me down the stairs.
"Heather, it's time. We're on our way now...Yes ma'am."
As he helps me down the stairs, I panic.
"What if the ba-"
"Call down babe. You're gonna stress yourself out."
I nod and just let him take me to the car.
"I'm going to go get the bag okay?"
I nod and try to relax.
There's no need to panic.
The baby won't be here for a while anyway. It'll be okay.
Zayn runs back out and jumps into the car.
"Now I'm telling you to calm down. The baby won't be here for a while." He nods.
"Yeah...Yeah you're right."
-Liam's POV-
I wake up to my phone ringing. I groan and bring it to my ear.
"Hello?"
"Liam? It's Heather, Kelsey is at the hospital. The baby will be here soon. I just thought I'd let you know."
"Okay. Thank you."
I smile like mad as I shake Grace awake.
"Hey baby, I'm going to the hospital. Do you wanna come?"
"Why are you going to the hospital? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Kelsey is going into labor."
"Oh my god! Really?!"
I nod and get up, starting to get dressed.
She follows suit, throwing her hair in a bun.
She just puts on one of my shirts, some shorts and runs down the steps.
"Hurry Liam!"
I smirk as I throw on my shirt.
"Coming babe!"
I run down the steps and grab my shoes, slipping them on as quick as possible.
-:-:-
I walk into the waiting room and seeing Heather sitting there, her foot tapping like mad.
"Liam!"
"Hey Ms.Matthews. How is she?"
"Good. Nothing's really happened yet. Just contractions."
I nod.
She sees Grace and freezes.
"Now who's this?"
"This is my wife Grace."
"Oh! It's so nice to meet you dear."
"You too Ms.Matthews."
"I'm going to check on her."
"Alright."
I look at Grace with a smile.
"As you okay? You look jumpy."
"Yeah. I'm just really excited."
"Yeah...Me too." I say, sitting down and having her join me.
"Li?"
"Hmm?"
"Can we have a baby?"
"Of course babe. Whenever you want."
She smiles.
"Thanks...I love you."
"I love you too."
"I'm sleepy but I wanna know how the baby is doing and everything."
"Go to sleep. I'll wake you."
She nods and lays her head over on my shoulder, shutting her eyes.
I slip my hand in hers, trying to soothe her.
The door opened and Heather came over.
"How is she?"
"Good. The baby's coming so I had to leave."
I nod.
"How long have you two been married?"
"Only a couple months."
She nods.
"How have you been since...you know?"
"Um good. I mean after I got away, everything has gotten so much better."
"That's good. I know her life has completely changed for the better. When we lived together, especially when we first started, she was so depressed and I felt so bad for her. She was scared of everything-then again I don't really blame her. Then after she met Zayn, she started feel safer. She trusted him to keep her safe, which he did. After losing his sister he couldn't afford to lose anybody else-especially someone that he genuinely loved. He'd probably die if he lost her."
She smiles.
"I'm so glad he's been there for her. She's needed someone after that traumatic experience. I'm glad you were there for her as well. Without you, she probably wouldn't even be here. I have a personal question."
"Okay go ahead."
"Did you and Kelsey date?"
"Yeah...How'd you know?"
"I can tell by how you look at her. Is that why you started dated Grace?"
I nod. How'd she know?
"Do you still love Kelsey?"
"Yes. I always have."
"Have you and Zayn ever fought about it or anything?"
"All the time. I went dress shopping with Kelsey and she ended up picking mine and that caused a fight. I called her 'beautiful' and he wanted to punch me. When I called her 'gorgeous?' That's a completely different story. He wanted to murder me. She calmed him down though."
"So do you really love Grace?"
"Yes..."
"Are you sure you love her? Or do you still love Kelsey?"
"I think I'm just trying to get Kelsey back and this is the closest I can get."
"I'm sorry. Does anybody know?"
"Just you...I didn't even realize. I mean, I knew I loved Kelsey but..."
"Y-You love Kelsey?"
Shit.
I turn and see Zayn standing there in scrubs, baby in his arms.
"Yeah...I do."
"I knew it! I've said it all along."
Tears slip from his eyes.
He turns to Heather.
"She wants you back there. She wanted Liam too but I'm just gonna tell her that they went home." She nods and leaves the room.
He turns to me. "I suggest you do so."
I gulp and stand up carefully, making sure to not wake Grace.
"Can I please just see the baby?"
"No."
"Zayn please...Please. I'll do anything."
He sighs.
"Fine."
I walk over to him carefully and smile down at the baby. It was a boy.
"Hey Ash."
I play with his fingers.
"There. You've seen him now go."
Tears fall from my eyes.
"Don't tell Grace or Kelsey. Please."
"I have to."
"No...No Zayn please don't."
"I might not tell Grace...right now. I'm telling Kelsey though."
I sigh and walk back over to Grace.
"Tell her the baby didn't make it. I never want to see either of you again."
"No. Zayn, don't do this. Kelsey's my best friend."
"I don't care. You lied to me. You lied to both of us."
"And I'm sorry. I knew that if you found out you wouldn't let me near her."
"You're right I wouldn't."
"I'm sorry."
I say before shaking Grace awake.
"Has the baby been born yet?" I look back to see Zayn was gone.
"It didn't make it."
-Kelsey's POV-
When my mom walks in, I immediately feel relieved. Then I see her face.
"Mom? What's wrong?"
"Zayn and Liam are fighting. They're not yelling or anything but..."
"Oh god...Not again. What happened?"
"It's best if Zayn told you."
I nod.
"Is the baby okay?"
"Yeah it never got physical."
"Good...Who will I be mad at?"
"Eh...neither."
"That's a shock. I usually get mad at Zayn."
"Well, Zayn has a right to be mad."
I nod.
Zayn enters.
"Babe what happened?"
"Fucking Liam."
"What happened? What did he do?"
"He loves you."
"Zayn we've been through this. He doesn't love me."
"Oh yes he does. Heather heard him admit." He says, handing me Ashton.
I look at her.
She nods.
"He's head over heels."
"That's why he married Grace. You two look almost identical. He doesn't even love her. He just wants you."
"No...No that can't be true. Why would he marry her if he doesn't love her?"
"He's trying to convince himself its you."
I sigh and kiss Ashton's head.
"I'm so confused."
"I know..."
"So he's loved me this whole time?"
He nods.
"Wow."
"Does...Does this make you change your feelings about him?"
"No. No of course not. I don't like him like that."
He nods and kisses my cheek.
"Well, you were right baby."
He smiles a little, kissing Ash on the head.
"Then again he doesn't have a tattoo of my name on him and I'm really attracted to that."
I say laughing.

Please don't hate me.
