Nurses flew by me running like the fucking wind. I followed close behind them passing a few. The hospital door was already opened so I just barged in seeing Perrie in hysteria and Zayn trying to calm her down but I can tell he was in distraught as well. I looked over to see Christine lying there helpless really. The doctors and nurses were doing what they could to help her slowly beating heart.

“Sir you need to get out only family members in here.” The nurse was shoving me out the door but I wouldn’t have it.

“But she’s my sister that’s my sister Perrie!” even though she isn’t Perrie is. She’s my sister.

The nurse gave me a quizzical look. I’m sure she knew I wasn’t telling the truth but she also knew I wouldn’t stop till I could stay so she let me remain. I walked across the room beside the doctor injecting Christine with god knows what. Christine was hiccuping, gasping for air, eyelids slowly closing. I grabbed hold of her frail little fingers.

“No, no, no, no, no! You stay with me okay? You’re mom and dad need you, I need you. Louis, Liam, Niall, Eleanor, Juliet, Riley, everyone! You haven’t seen the world yet okay?”

The monitor beside me started to beep at a more rapid pace. I looked back down at Christine. Her hand fell from around my finger, eyes completely closed, and no more hiccups escaped her small chapped lips.

I could hear Perrie screaming, asking for her baby, Zayn cursing at the nurses trying to tell them how to do their job right. I crouched down so I could be closer to Christine.

“Christine. I’ve been in this position many times with my girlfriend Riley. She’s been in and out of the hospital. You hear me? In and OUT. She’s survived so much and so can you. You are both fighters. Plus you have her name as your middle one. I watched her suffer and I watched her recover from it all. So I am going to do the same for you. I’m going to watch you recover.”

The doctor covered the baby’s face with an oxygen masked and started pumping air into her lungs. The monitor still has a rapid speed of beeps going. Then all of a sudden it was one long beep. One long green line appeared on the monitor screen. The doctor still didn’t stop pumping. Come on Christine!

“I’m sorry if I say I need ya,
But I don’t care I’m not scared of love
Cause when I’m not with you I’m weaker,
Is that so wrong,
Is it so wrong,
That you make me strong.”

I waited and waited and waited, which felt like a couple hundred years but nothing. The doctor sighed into his medical mask and started to remove the oxygen mask from Christine’s face. No.
I bowed my head not wanting to except the truth in front of me. But right beside me I heard a frail voice.

“I’m sorry if I say I need ya,
But I don’t care I’m not scared of love
Cause when I’m not with you I’m weaker,
Is that so wrong,
Is it so wrong,
That you make me strong.”

I looked up from the floor to see an exhausted Riley. She has sweat covering her face, mascara running down her cheeks, and shaky hands. She kept repeating those lyrics that I made for her.
And then there was a beep. A beep and another beep. All drifted apart but they were there. And coughing occurred from Christine’s mouth. Coughing and her gasping for air.

“My baby!” Perrie cried.

Riley POV

My feet took me to a creek. I could hear the frogs, crickets, and owls all around me. My legs were tired out. I collapsed on some bushy grass which felt good to the touch. I sprawled myself out in the shape of a star and looked up into the night sky. A baby, he wants a baby. Now? When? With me, really? Can we afford it? Do I want this? Will I be a good mom? Will Harry be a good father? Are we cut out for this? So many questions are obviously racing through my mind. I just wish he didn’t bring it up at a time like this, with Christine with everything we’ve been through. My phone went off and I saw I got a text from Harry. I know he didn’t mean to scare me off but he should have had an idea it would have! I didn’t reply because how do I respond to that?

---

I haven’t left my spot. I’ve still been in the same position starring up into the starry night. My phone has been buzzing nonstop. I’ve listened to messages read the texts but I can’t reply. I checked the time and thought that everyone would have left Perrie, Zayn, and the baby by now. I decided to make my way back to the hospital.

---

I’m crying and I don’t think I will be able to stop. She’s not breathing. My attention is on Harry and his large hand around Christine’s.

“No, no, no, no, no! You stay with me okay? You’re mom and dad need you, I need you. Louis, Liam, Niall, Eleanor, Juliet, Riley, everyone! You haven’t seen the world yet okay?”

My presence is still unnoticed.

"Christine. I’ve been in this position many times with my girlfriend Riley. She’s been in and out of the hospital. You hear me? In and OUT. She’s survived so much and so can you. You are both fighters. Plus you have her name as your middle one. I watched her suffer and I watched her recover from it all. So I am going to do the same for you. I’m going to watch you recover.”

And in that moment I knew.

“I’m sorry if I say I need ya,
But I don’t care I’m not scared of love
Cause when I’m not with you I’m weaker,
Is that so wrong,
Is it so wrong,
That you make me strong.”

That song always works but Christine still isn’t responding. I’m going to make her respond gosh damn it! I walked next to Harry and sang to Christine. My hands were shaking, tears were still spilling from my eyes, my voice not dominant but it was there. I sang until I heard the beep. That one beep was all I needed. I fell down to Harry and collided our lips together. I wanted him. I needed him. My hands brushed through his long chocolate locks, his hands on my hips squeezing them lightly.

“I’m sorry baby I didn’t…”

“Ssshhh… I want to.”

“You want to what?”

“What I just saw made me realize that you can be the perfect dad out there. In that moment I knew. What you and I just did. We can do it. Harry lets do it. Lets have a baby! I want to be with you, I want to graduate with you, travel the world with you, marry you, have your kids, I want it all. Not now but when the timing is right I want it."

I starred into his emerald eyes. He has no emotion at all which is worrying me. He furrows his brows at me and begins to smirk.

“You’re just in it for the sex aren’t you? I mean last night was pretty amazing.” He gives me a wink.

“You did it!?”

“Perrie!”

“How was it!? Is he good like everyone says?”

I covered my beating red face with all three of them laughing at me. We were interrupted by the doctor.

“I checked her vitals and everything seems to be in check once again. We just don’t know if Christine will have an episode like this again. It’s 50/50. I’m terribly sorry this is happening to her, you both. It must be very hard to watch.”

“Doctor there has to be a solution. I can’t just watch my baby girl go through with this the rest of her life.”

“There is a solution but we don’t make them anymore.”

“Make what?” I asked.

“A Heartmate II. It’s the only thing that can cure Christine but no one makes them anymore. If someone was willing to donate their own then that would be miracle.”

I have a Heartmate II. I’m her God Mother and I’m suppose to protect her. I’m suppose to… save her.
