I wake up in the middle of the night to my phone ringing. 2 am, it's too early. I reached for my phone and pressed the answer button. "Hello?" I said still half asleep. "I've gone into labour, please can you come down to the hospital?" said my best friend Emma in panic. "Uh, yeah. I'll be there soon" I said. "Ok, thank you," she said. I hung up and placed my phone back down. I felt a lot more awake after hearing the big news. "Harry," I said, shaking him awake. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Emma's in labour, we have to go down to the hospital," I said. He sat up in an instant. "Really?" he asked. "Yeah, I just got a call. Come on," I said slipping out of bed. We quickly got ready and drove down to the hospital. We are both very close to Emma and her husband, Gary. They are both lovely people. "Couldn't the baby wait till the morning?" Harry groaned as I parked in the hospital car park. We went into the reception area. "Hello, I'm here for Emma Williams," I said. "One minute," she said. I was so excited. She typed on her keyboard way to quick for me to register. "Ok, ward 3, room 98. Just down the there", she said pointing down the hall. "Ok, thank you," I said. I grabbed Harry's hand and dragged him down the hall. "(Y/N), calm" Harry said. "No, I've waited a long 9 months," I said. He chuckled as I walked through the doors to Ward 3. I scanned every room number. 98. I knocked on the door then slowly entered. Emma was sat at the end of the bed, holding her bump. "Hey," I said walking over. Harry followed behind me. "Hey," she said. "How are you doing?" I asked. "Not good, in a lot of pain right now," she said. I've known Emma since I was 8. She's my closest friend so I was excited to find out she was having a baby. We waited for what felt like hours. When Emma was ready to have their baby, me and Harry sat in the waiting room. We were finally allowed in. "This is baby Oliver," Gary said as Emma held the sleeping baby. "Aw, he's so cute," I said. She handed him over to me. His skin was so soft. Harry stood right next to me, rubbing his thumb on Oliver's head. I spent a lot of time with Emma and Oliver. I was getting a little obsessed with him. 

Two weeks later 

"I'm home," I called as I stepped into the house. I just spent the afternoon at Emma and Gary's house with baby Oliver. "Hey babe, did you have fun?" Harry asked, looking up from his phone. "Yes," I said as I leant down and placed a kiss to Harry's soft lips. I sat down on his lap and he wrapped his arms around my waist. "Did they kick you out for being there too much?" Harry asked as I rested my head on his shoulder. "No, I just wanted to come home," I said. "Come to see me?" he asked. "Yeah," I said. He rubbed my arm as it was pretty cold outside. "Did you want to have a baby?" I whispered in his ear. "Now?" he asked. I lifted my head, nodding. "Really?" he asked with wide eyes. Harry and I have been dating for 5 years and he's been asking for a baby since forever. "Of course I do, babe," he said. I giggled and pressed my lips to his.
