Perrie POV

I sat up and started screaming bloody murder. I don’t know what’s happening. I looked at my clock and saw that it was 3:23 in the morning. I started clutching my stomach. Something obviously isn’t right. The pain is unbearable. I look down at the sheets and there is blood drenching the white sheets. Zayn spent the night and he’s trying to relax me but it’s not possible. Him and I both don’t know the problem that’s occurring. I can’t be in labor, I have plenty of more months to go.

Zayn helps me to the car, his sweet words are encouraging but still I can’t block the suffering.

“Harry something is wrong with Perrie! I don’t know what’s happening but she’s screaming and there’s blood, meet us at the hospital? I can’t do this alone.”

“AAAGGHHH! Zayn!”

He rested his right hand on my thigh trying to comfort me.

“Tell the others.”

He hung up the phone and once again tried to sooth me with words of comfort.

When we approached the hospital Zayn put me in a wheelchair and yelled for help. Nurses came to my rescue putting me in my own room examining me. My OBGYN doctor came in and discussed the problem with the nurses.

“Perrie, you are going into early labor.”

“Wha-what? Why!?”Zayn asked.

“Well, I hate to be the one to deliver the news but there is some complications with your baby.
Her heart isn’t so strong right now. We need you to be strong Perrie. You need to deliver your baby, now.”

What? What complicatons? There can’t be any god damn complications! I’ve been doing everything right ever since I knew about my baby girl! I never drank, smoked, eaten sushi and other crap. What did I do wrong? My eyes became glossy but I know I have to go through with this if I want my baby to live.

“Push Perrie. You can do this, I know you can.” Zayn smiled at me and kissed my sweaty forehead. If he really believes in me than I should believe in myself.

Riley POV

Harry and I were the last to get to the hospital. Just like me everyone else were in there pajamas. Eleanor was biting her nails, Juliet is bouncing her legs, and the boys were, well, trying to act tough but they were very eager.

“What’s happening? She isn’t due until a few months.”

Louis walked over to me and explained everything. There’s something wrong with the baby? No. No there can’t be. Perrie is healthy and the baby should be too. What the hell!

“Well how is Perrie doing?”

“She’s doing the best that she can.”
Harry walked to my side and was about to wrap his arm over my should but I denied it.

“Don’t! Don’t touch me! I know what it’s like to lose someone and I don’t want Perrie and Zayn to feel the same. I have you to hold me in you arms but now they won’t be able to hold their poor innocent baby!” I pushed Harry aside and sat opposite of everyone else. Harry respected that decision and sat next to Nial in silence.

A little over an hour has past and Zayn came out in slacks. Everyone stood to their feet within seconds.

“She’s here guys. Aha. My baby girl, Christine Riley Malik.”

Riley? Zayn looked at me when he mentioned the name Riley.

“Do you want to meet her?”

“Well duh!” We all said in unison.

Zayn led us into Perrie’s room and there she was lying in Perrie’s arms. One of the cutest little creatures ever. The girls and I ran to Perrie’s side wanting to be the first to hold Christine.

“She is so precious Perrie!”

“Can I hold her!?”

“Hold on you guys!” Perrie laughed at Juliet and Eleanor. “Thanks El, and you guys will get a chance to see her but I want her God Mother to hold her first, Riley?”

Perry held Christine out towards me. God Mother? I can’t be. Is that why Christine’s middle name is Riley?

“Yes, that’s why her middle name is Riley,” Perrie giggled. Am I that predictable?

I took Christine into my arms and held her close to my chest. I will cherish this little girl forever, even if she’s not mine.

“Now give her up Riley she’s mine now!”

“I had her for half a second Juliet!”

“Just imagine you holding our baby in your arms.”

I turn my head abruptly to the left to stare at Harry. “I’m sorry, what?” I asked that question because I was scared. I knew exactly what he said but I wish I heard him incorrectly. He can’t be serious right?

“Just imagine it Riley. You holding OUR baby.”

I quickly, but gently, pass Christine to Juliet making sure the baby is comfortable in her arms. I brushed my fallen strands of hair out of my face. I walked towards the door passed Harry without saying a word. I was halfway out the door when I turned back around.

“I am so happy for you both, Zayn, Perrie. You have a beautiful baby girl. I can’t tell you how honored I am to be her God Mother. I will always take care of Christine when in need. I have to leave I forgot um, I have to, you know I just need some air, excuse me.”

I was passing through the waiting room when I heard footsteps behind me, thinking they were Harry’s I turned around. Sure enough it was him. I stopped in my tracks and he did the same.

“Riley…”

My eyes bulged out of my sockets. I don’t want to have this conversation. I don’t know how it will turn out. So I did the only thing I know how to do. Run. I turned on my heels and just ran out of the hospital. I ran across the parking lot, I ran, ran, and ran. I don’t know where I am going, I’m just letting my feet do the work.

Harry POV

She took off. She just took off. Riley didn’t even let me explain. I just told her the truth. Isn’t that what she wants. Honestly is the best thing in a relationship. I decided not to chase after her. I think she’s been scared enough for one day. I walked back to Perrie’s room where everyone still was.

“Were you caught up in the moment or were you actually serious?”Juliet asked me.

“No, I was serious.” Everyone gave me blank stares.

“Harry, you and Riley are seniors in high school. We all are. Zayn and I didn’t plan this. We would have waited much longer for this lovely miracle. Not that I’m disappointed it happened but it’s the truth. Riley is so young and has gone through so much. Don’t you think it’s a crazy idea to start thinking about kids? And you’ve never really seemed interested in them to be honest.”

Normally a comment like that would get on my nerves but Perrie does have a point. But her point in my head is invalid. I want kids, I want kids with my girlfriend, my love, the love of my life, Riley Elizabeth Shawn. I have seen her with kids, she would make the perfect mother. She would teach me so much. I want this so badly. I don’t care how young we are we are both old enough for this to happen. All I need is Riley’s answer.

“Lad, you’re not even married and we haven’t graduated high school and gone off to college. Give it some time,” Liam said with he arm wrapped around my shoulder. I just shrugged it off. I don’t like the fact that my best boys are trying to change my mind about this whole ordeal. This is my decision not their’s. I was about to say another reason why Riley and I should make a baby but we were interrupted by a nurse.

“Oh whoa! You sure do have a lot of support here Zayn and Perrie. I hate to break up the party but visiting hours are over. Zayn of course you can stay as long as you want. Also I must put the baby back in her incubator and hook her up to the IV and other wires. We need to watch and maintain her heart. So far Christine is doing wonderful but it’s just a precaution.”

Juliet handed Christine over to the nurse. I never got a chance to hold her which got me in a blue moon. I wanted to see like how it is holding a new born baby. I wanted the experience, I wanted to be prepared when my baby comes. It will happen, I know it will.

We all shuffled out of the room to give Zayn and Perrie their relaxing alone time. It’s not visiting hours but I am still allowed to linger in the waiting room which is what I did unlike the others. They wanted their sleep. I promised them if there’s any news I would give them a call. As soon as I slumped down in those awfully uncomfortable chairs I texted Riley.

To Riley:
Riley I didn’t mean to frighten you. Please tell me where you are. I need to know that you are safe. Call me. I love you.

An hour has past and Riley still hasn’t gotten back to any of my texts or phone calls. I have left so many messages and the girls have tried contacting her to, the boys are out looking for her but no luck so far. I can’t think of any place she could be. No one could have grabbed her since Jake and his men are gone. I decided to stand up ready to leave the hospital to look for her myself when I heard something terrifying over the intercom.

“Emergency emergency! Code blue in Perrie Edwards room! I repeat code blue!”

The baby. Christine.
