"But since I tell you, it's okay. I may be eight and a half months pregnant, but I'm fine. I won'tt give birth now. So let me go to his last concert. Besides, it's here and you work here too so don't worry," I said to Niall.

"Are you sure?" Asked my husband again.

"I'm sure and certain.

- Okay, but if there is something wrong, you call me even if I'm at the operator room.

- Promised."

I hurry to get ready since it's soon time that I join Stefani at her concert. I still take a long hot shower and get dressed taking care to put my converses and not heels as usual.

"See you tomorrow Niall. I love you," I say before kissing her.

"I love you too. Pay attention to yourself.

- Pay attention to yourself too. Don't lose too many patients.

- I'm going to try. But I really have to leave if I don't want to be late so until tomorrow my angel.

- See you tomorrow, darling."

I'm going to join Stefani at the concert hall and park behind on the seats reserved for the members of the team. I climb the few steps of the stage with great difficulty and say hello to everyone with a wave of the hand.

"Oh, how are you?" Stefani asks me.

"I feel a little tired and fat but hey, it's like that. I can't do anything about it.  

- If you can do something about it. I specifically told you to stay at home calm instead of coming to work. You know, I can manage without you for a concert.

- It's good, I'm two weeks of childbirth and I have no contraction yet," I say, holding my stomach.

"Exactly it's soon and it's not because you have no contraction that it can't happen at any time. So stay somewhere, in my dressing room for example and rest.

- The girls aren't here?

- No, but they won't be long since the concert begins in about four hours. Oh well, talking about them, they are there watching."

I turn my head towards the still empty room and see them running towards the stage then throw themselves in my arms.  

"Is it a girl or a boy?" Perrie asks.

"I don't know yet. We didn't want to know.

- And you still live in the villa?" Asked Jesy.

"Yes, it's closer to the hospital where Niall works and then that's where we have always lived. And we still have our independence."

We continue to talk a bit, but the girls have to go and repeat, so I left them and went to Stefani's lodge. I took my phone and sent a text message to Niall.

"I think I have contractions."

I'm waiting for an answer that is not long in coming. He answers almost immediately.

"At what frequency?

- A little over two hours. I believe.

- No, it's ok, but don't do anything. Stay calm otherwise you will give birth sooner than expected. Promised?

- Promised."

It's now time for the concert, the Little Mix have just made their entrance on stage. I am behind the scenes quietly, sitting in a chair next to Stefani who is watching them closely. When suddenly, I emit a slight cry of pain.

"It's okay? What is happening?" Stefani asks me panicked.

- Just a contraction. Don't worry.

- At what frequency?  

- An hour now.

- Because you've had it today and you didn't tell me?

- I got it, but it was two hours apart so it didn't matter. Niall told me. So now will enjoy your concert. It's the last of your tour."

She looks at me one last time before going to warm up her voice and make some makeup retouching.

The girls come back, and Lady Gaga takes their place on stage. My contractions are now about thirty minutes apart and are more and more painful. I then go to Stefani's lodge and try to relax by practicing meditation. It calms me a moment, but not long enough since they are every fifteen minutes now and last more than two minutes. It was then that one of the girls came back to the box having heard me scream.

"My god Katy. But you're bad here. Contractions?

- Barely every fifteen minutes. It's horrible. I think I'm going to give birth tonight Perrie," I said, shouting the end of her name.

"Alright Alright. Breathe. Breathe well. I'm going to get the girls and tell Stefani.

- No, she's on stage; you can't.

- She's finished soon anyway, and she won't leave you that way then, trust me. I come back soon."

Perrie.

I leave the lodge and run to the girls and tell them that Katy is about to give birth, but they must go to join her so as not to be alone.

Now, I have to warn Stefani who performs on the stage, but in a rather discreet way. I then go out backstage and dance to come quickly to her. The fans are even more screaming. She looks surprised that I'm here and I understand her, but I have no choice. I'm waiting for a blank in his song and approaching his ear "Katy is about to give birth, you have to take her to the hospital now." She looks at me even more disturbing and signals to the musicians to stop playing.

"I'm really sorry, but I have to stop this concert. One of my friends who is pregnant is about to give birth, so I have to go and support her. She needs me. Really sorry for not finishing my tour properly."

The fans are screaming that it's not so important for the end of the show and that she needs to go there urgently, that they understand. So we leave behind the scenes and while she removes micro and everything else that must stay, I go see Katy.

"Katy! Don't worry, we go to the hospital. Stefani arrives, she went to get a car to put it in front and leave quickly."

Katy.

I then put it up with the help of the girls and go from behind to avoid the fans, but also to go faster to the hospital. We go there as fast as we can without making offenses. Once arrived, we head to the maternity ward or ask to see the doctor who followed me.

"And beep Dr. Horan, please. Say his wife is about to give birth," I said calmly, breathing well.

I'm then taken to a single room and while I'm changing to a more correct outfit, I see Niall running with his white coat.

"Why didn't you call me sooner? Why didn't you tell me you were coming or that your contractions were getting closer?" Niall asks.

"Sorry. Just sorry, but I'm here now doing your job as a husband and future father," I said, raising my voice slightly.

It's after a few hours of suffering, but also of happiness that I finally give birth to two beautiful babies. A girl, Joanne Horan and a boy, James Horan.
