forty-one: a baby for the weekend pt.2

It took nearly an hour for Harry's doctor to make it to his room, the middle aged woman walking in with a flustered look on her face. She is quick to check Harry's vitals, going over his charts and asking how far apart his contractions appeared to be. Within five minutes of being in the room, Doctor Winters already knew that there was no way of stalling off Harry's labor and she instantly orders preparation for a c-section as Harry was a boy and didn't exactly have the right parts to deliver a baby. Harry panics at that though, grimacing as another contraction hits him but he still voices his concern.

"He's early, we can't... He's not ready yet." Harry says, looking panicked as Zayn gives Harry's hand a reassuring squeeze. Zayn keeps checking his phone in hopes Niall's plane had landed, but all he was getting were texts from Louis who was currently still trying to get a hold of Niall and was panicking just as badly as Harry was.

"Your baby will be fine, Harry. The nurse who checked you in earlier already did an ultrasound and your baby's lungs are developed and he's just above the weight criteria. He's just done baking is all, he's ready to be here." She says reassuringly but Harry was still freaking out. Niall still wasn't there and there was no way Harry could do this without Niall.

"Can we please just wait until Niall gets here?" Harry practically sobs out and Zayn is once again tightening his grip on Harry's hand.

"H, you gotta calm down." Zayn whispers, earning a glare from his friend before Harry turns his attention back on Doctor Winters who looked apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Harry but I don't think we can wait much longer. The longer we wait, the more at risk we're putting your baby and you. The sooner we get him out, the better." Doctor Winters says and Harry's full on freaking out now which wasn't helping the situation. Zayn decides to try and call Niall again, walking out of the hospital room for a moment while Doctor Winters tries to get Harry to calm down. 

But Niall still doesn't answer, allowing Zayn to leave a voicemail. 

"Uh hey, Niall. Just calling you.... again cause well... Harry's having the baby and you're not picking up your phone, mate. He's flipping shit and I really pray to god that you get here soon cause they're gonna take him in for a c-section in a few minutes. I gotta go try and calm H down... just get here." Zayn says, taking a deep breath before walking into the hospital room yet again. Harry was still freaking out, but he wasn't yelling at Doctor Winters anymore. 

"We have to wait for Niall, he's gonna be here. He's gotta be here." Harry says, looking at Doctor Winters frantically. 

"He's on his way, H..." Zayn whispers for what already felt like the millionth
and Harry's face falls at that, tears once again falling down his cheeks.  

"I can't do this without Niall." 

"He'll be here, H... He's just gonna be a little late is all. I'll cover for him if you need me to." Zayn offers and Harry can't even bring himself to say anything because Niall wasn't here. Niall was gonna miss it.

-------------

Niall gets home from the airport after being stuck in traffic for nearly two hours. The first thing he does is plug his phone in as it hadn't gotten the chance to charge the night before and had died while he'd driven his mother to the airport. A confused expression crosses his face when he sees all the missed calls from both Louis and Zayn when his phone finally turns back on. He listens to the voicemail first, almost dropping his phone as he frantically grabs his car keys.

-------------------

"Alright Harry, this is gonna feel a bit like a pinch at the base of your spine. You'll start to lose feeling in your bottom half in a few minutes and once you're completely numb we're gonna take you into the operating room." Doctor Winters says, having Harry sit up on the bed before placing the needle into his back. Harry winces at the feeling, gripping Zayn's hand a little too tightly.

----------------

"C'mon c'mon c'mon. Pick up, H." Niall whispers as he goes as fast as he can, he was almost to the hospital but he was still worried about Harry.

--------------

"Has he called?" Harry asks Zayn one final time as they roll Harry to the operating room. Zayn bites on his lip before shaking his head, his heart tugging at how Harry's face falls.

"He'll be here soon, H." Zayn reassures, pushing the hair on Harry's forehead back.

------------------

Niall finally reaches the hospital, running straight to the front desk as he gasps for air. He can barely get out Harry's name before the nurse directs him in the direction of the room Harry had been in. Niall runs in that direction, reaching the doors in a matter of a minute only to find the room empty.

"Shit. Motherfucking shit." Niall curses, pulling at his hair as he tries not to panic. He had to find Harry, he couldn't miss this, he wouldn't miss the birth of his son.

---------------

Zayn has to step out of the room, the sight of blood making him queasy and Harry had told him to see if he could get to Niall one last time. Zayn shakily dials Niall's number, putting his phone to his ear as he swallows but then he catches sight of Niall standing just down the hall. Zayn nearly drops his phone in shock, almost unable to say Niall's name to catch the younger boys attention.

"Niall! Shit mate, you need to get in there." Zayn shouts, catching Niall's attention and the Irish boy comes running towards Zayn now.

"Where is he? Where's Harry?" Niall asks in a rush and Zayn is quick to give Niall directions. 

"You're probably gonna want this." Zayn says as an afterthought, handung Niall the green apron he'd been forced to wear. Niall wastes no time in getting to that room, only to be stopped at the door by an attending nurse.

"Sir, you can't go in there."

"No, that's my fiancee in there. He's having my baby... I can't miss it." Niall says, his voice holding a desperate tone to it because he was so close to crying right now. He was right outside the door, he could make out Harry laying on a bed with a sheet covering his lower half. The nurse looks a little hesitant at first, but she finally steps aside.

Niall walks into the room, all eyes turning to look at him. Harry has to crane his head so he can see, a relieved expression on his face. Niall slowly walks to Harry's side, sitting down on the chair Zayn had previously been sitting at 

"You made it... I knew you would." Harry whispers, happy tears falling down his cheeks which Niall wipes away with his thumb.

"I wouldn't miss this for the world, Dollface." Niall whispers back, leaning down to kiss Harry's forehead.

And then the sound of a baby crying filled the room.
