My Baby Daddy || Michael Clifford

Chapter 20

(A.N// Double update. Whoop whoop)

*Michael's P.O.V*

I swear I was imagining it that day. When Harley said she wouldn't give up. She couldn't of said it. She was out cold. It's been months since the accident now, it's April 5th, 2014 and I've become a full time dad. I take my job as being a dad very very seriously .....most of the time.

Harley's in a coma, she has been for 5 months. The doctors are doing everything and anything that they can do. They say. She's been transferred from the hospital in Paraguay, to The Royal London Hospital so she's closer to home.

Me and Harry are completely fine now, and the media has calmed down a lot. The fans are really careful around us when they see us In public, scared that if they touch us, they'll injure us. I find it really cute. Most of the time. Depends on my mood.

I've been staying with Harry at his place while in London, I do travel back and forth a fair amount of times, going back to Australia, taking the twins with me when I go. But I want to stay in London because that's where Harley is, that's where Harry is and that's where the twins are. Harley wouldn't want them to stay in Australia without her, she'd want her mum, Gemma and Harry around.

I still have the scar from the shards of glass that attacked my skin. It's quite unpleasant. It's not on my forearm or anything it's on the top half of my arm, from around my shoulder to my elbow, so I always wear long - sleeved tops.

"Michael" Harry called from downstairs. I was currently in my room, with the twins, on my laptop.

I sighed and shut my iMac, getting up. Lexi and Ethan sleep in here now, I don't like being away from them. They were currently in their large play pen. I put like 8 baby gates up one half of the room and filled it with toys and cushions and blankets, a safe baby area. The other half was my stuff; my bed, TV, wardrobe, and desk.

"What?" I yelled back at him from my bedroom door frame.

"Paul just called. We've gotta go for rehearsals" I sighed and yelled back an 'OK'. I quickly changed into a black pair of skinny's and my black and white long sleeved top.

"Come on munchkins" I giggled at them and opened the gate. They can walk now and talk slightly, they can't pronounce long sentences but basic vocabulary.

Lexi got up and ran out of the gate, Ethan following her. I grabbed their hands before they could run out of my room. I walked down the hallway, to the stairs and then sat them both on my lap and began to slide down the stairs as if it were a slide.

As soon as we got to the bottom of the stairs, Harry took Ethan and took him out to the car. I did the same, taking Lexi. After I buckled them both in, I ran back inside, getting the baby bag from the living room and my phone and wallet from the kitchen counter.

"Who's driving?" I asked Harry. He have me a are you kidding me look and then got in the drivers seat. I pouted and and sat shot gun.

-------

As soon as we got to the studio, Lou took Lexi and Ethan, taking them to go play with Lux. I thanked her as I grabbed a bottled water and went outside to the other side of the building.

Many fans were out there. I stopped at a group of girls who looked to be 14/15 year olds. They were all really pretty.

"Oh my god, Michael!" The red haired girl gasped as she saw me come over to her group.

"Hi girls" I smiled at them

"Can you sign this for me?" The fizzy blonde haired girl asked

"Yeah sure" I smiled. I took the black sharpie from her and signed her 5sos phone case. I handed it back to her and took a few pictures with her before I moved along to say hello to a few others.

I stopped at a shortish blonde girl, probably 13 years old.

"Hello. What's your name?" I grinned at her as she started at me in awe, from behind the rail. "Hi, um Daisy"

"Well Daisy, do you want a picture?" I asked her sweetly. She reminds me of Lexi. She nodded her head furiously, then frowned.

"But I don't have my iPod. I left it in the car" She pouted

"How about we take it on my phone?" I asked her. She grinned and nodded. I took out my phone from my back pocket and snapped 4 selfies of us. "Do you have a sister, or a brother?"

"I have a older sister called Misty" She nodded

"Does she have facebook, or twitter?" I asked. Daisy nodded "I'll put these on there, ok? Just ask your sister to go on my profiles ok?"

"Ok. How's Harley by the way?" She asked hesitantly. The other fans stopped shouting and screaming, quieting down to hear my reply. I looked them all over and frowned.

"Well she's not getting worse" I smiled sadly. "I best get back to rehearsals, it was nice talking to y'all. Love ya"

I sighed deeply, before going inside and rehearsing the songs that I had wrote.

"What we gonna start with?" Calum asked. One Direction were rehearsing In the other building.

"Beside you!" Ashton yelled "I love that song so much! And to think that Mikey wrote it about a can of beans. Brilliant" Luke sniggered

"Yeah.. A can of beans...." I nodded, pursing my lips, going along with what I told them originally.

Ashton started hitting his box thing as Luke, Calum and I started playing. We're playing acoustic. Calum went straight into the first verse. Luke following after. I just played the guitar. As soon as we got to the chorus I started to sing with them, but quietly. I'm like a back up singer in this song.

"She sleeps alone.

My heart wants to come home.

I wish I was, I wish I was beside you.

She lies awake.

I'm trying to find the words to say.

I wish I was, I wish I was be-beside y-you."

----

"Night baby girl" I whispered, kissing Lexi's forehead. "Night baby boy" I did the same to Ethan.

"I love you. Mummy will be home soon...... I hope" I breathed. I got into bed and cuddled up to my pillow, letting sleep over come me

*Harley's P.O.V*

"Miss Styles can you hear me?" A voice asked me seriously. I just groaned

"She's awake" Another continued "Harley, open your eyes"

"Nooo" I whined. "I'm tired"

"Miss Styles, you've been asleep for five months, you cannot be tired" Another voice chuckled.

I groaned and opened my eyes, coming face to face with 3 unfamiliar people. I looked at my surroundings and groaned, the place was white and disgusting. I was in a hospital. I don't like hospitals.

"Who the hell are you people?" I asked confused. The man only chuckled

"I'm Dr Terrance Blake, this is Mr Denny, and Dr Kasie Elise. You've been in our care for 23 weeks now. Do you remember what happened?" Blake asked me, as Dr Elise examined me.

"Uhhh" I rubbed my eyes "Something about a car crash. I dunno, it was ages ago, you can't expect me to have perfect memory?"

"No we don't. We were just making sure you didn't have amnesia" Mr Denny said. I rolled my eyes.

"Well anyway, it's nice of you to have finally woken up" Blake smiled before walking out with Denny, who gave me a half smile and a stuff nod.

Dr Elise pressed lots of buttons and flicked lots of switches on some machine. "Just press the button, if you need anything. I'm just going to inform your mum that you've woken up" She smiled before leaving.
