Panic
[Harry's POV]
"Wait, what?" Louis says, completely stunned. Jordan grips his hand tightly, and I can't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
"Chloe. Has. Gone. Into. Labour." She says slowly. "Niall just rang me; he's taken her to the hospital and we need to go there now! She's asking for me." Jordan smiles slightly at that, but endless worry is etched into her features.
"Which hospital?" Louis asks before I have chance to say anything.
"Uh… erm… The one… The one you went to in February." She stammers, unable to remember the name of it.
"Leighton." I say, turning the engine on. "Don't worry; I'll get us there as quick as possible."
"Thanks." They both put their seatbelts on and start talking, but I ignore them and focus on the road. I glance quickly in the rear-view mirror and am hit with another pang of jealousy when I see their entwined hands. Get over it, Harry. The thing is; I can't quite work out who I'm more jealous of. I mean, I'm not in love with Louis or anything… at least, I don't think so… I just don't want him to be with anybody else because I don't want to lose him. But I especially don't want him to be with JJ. That's really selfish… All through my life JJ has been there for me, and I've been in love with her since I was 11, but we just don't work as a couple, and it's taken me so long to realise that. I just want her to be happy, and if that means that she's happy with someone else, then fine. But why Louis?
"Harry, are you even paying attention?" Louis pokes my shoulder. "You just ran a red light!"
"Fuck. Sorry." I shake the thoughts from my head and focus on the road.
[JJ's POV]
Harry turns into the hospital car park and parks in the nearest space. He jumps out of the car and pulls the seat forward, and Louis gets out clumsily and pulls me with him. We both head towards the entrance, and Harry grabs two hoodies out of the car and then locks it. He runs to catch up with us and then hands Louis a red hoody and tells him to put it on. Harry puts his purple Jack Wills one on and then grabs my hand out of habit and I squeeze it reassuringly, finding myself unable to let go. Louis opens the entrance door for us, and I drag Harry towards the front desk.
"Uh, hi, is Chloe Horan here?" Wait; what? Harry and Louis raise their eyebrows at me and I laugh. "Sorry, Bishop; is Chloe Bishop here? She's having a baby."
"Hang on, love." The nurse checks the computer, and then looks up at me and frowns. "What are your names?"
"Jordan Jones, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson." I say quietly. Why does she need to know that?
"Well, usually we don't let people in who aren't family, but I've been told to let all of you in. She's in the maternity ward; down there on the left, take the first right and then left again. Room 3." She points in the right direction and then waves me on. I grab Louis' hand and pull him with me, and Harry follows us. They both pull their hoods over their heads (Oh, now I understand why they need them…) and we all stop outside Room 3.
"You first." Louis waves me forwards, and I run inside and head straight for Chloe, who is sat on the side of the bed arguing with Niall.
"Chloe!" I wrap my arms around her and she folds into my embrace. Then she gasps and pulls away from me, and Niall instantly grabs one of her hands.
"Just lie back on the bed and stop being so fucking stubborn!" He says, allowing her to squeeze his hand while she tries to get through the contraction. She sighs and lets go of his hand, and he smooth's her hair out of her face. "Is it over?"
"Yeah. This is fucking painful!" She covers her face with her hands, embarrassed that everyone is looking at her.
"Shall we go and get a coffee, Harry?" Louis says quietly, realising that Chloe just wants some space. Harry nods, and they both walk over and kiss Chloe on the cheek before walking back to the door. They try and convince Niall to go and get a drink, but he refuses to leave Chloe. They give up in the end and then leave the room.
"I'm scared, Twin." Chloe says, shaking slightly. She sits up against the headboard and whispers "I don't want to do this."
"Hey, hey, hey, it's gonna be okay!" I grab her hands and make her look at me. "You've got me and the boys, Liam and Zayn will be here in a bit with your mum, and we're all gonna be here for you, okay?" She nods and then hisses in pain as she's hit with another contraction. A midwife comes bustling in with a clipboard in her hand and walks up to us.
"They're getting closer together." She says, and Chloe nods. "You need to get changed into the gown we gave you when you got here, okay?" Chloe frowns and mutters "disgusting fucking things" before nodding at the midwife, who smiles slightly and then leaves again. Chloe hisses in pain, but rather than clutching her belly she clutches her head.
"What's wrong?" Niall asks, instantly panicking.
"I just have a really bad headache, that's all." She smiles at him, grateful for- but slightly annoyed at- his worrying.
"But that's a sign of high blood pressure! I should get the nurse." He goes to leave but she grabs hold of his hand and pulls him down on the bed next to her.
"Don't leave me." She grabs hold of his hand tightly and is hit with another contraction.
"I won't, I promise." He rubs her back and allows her to squeeze his hand (which is pretty brave of him considering she's stronger than she looks!). I look at them together and start to feel like a third wheel, but I still smile; they're going to make great parents. By looking at them, you wouldn't even know that Niall isn't the biological father. I wonder if Niall will propose to Chloe… I know they've only been together for 5 months, but they're having a child together (kind of…), and it's so obvious that they are madly in love… My phone rings, interrupting my thoughts; it's Beth. I press "decline".
"I'm just going to get a drink, okay? I'll be right back." Chloe looks like she's about to protest but I leave the room before she can say anything. I find the nearest toilets and hide inside, and then I ring Beth back.
"You put the phone down on me!" She says angrily.
"Hello to you too. Yeah, it's because I'm in the hospital; Chloe's having her baby!"
"What; really? Oh… Please ring me when she's had the baby and tell me whether it's a girl or boy!"
"Yeah I will. What did you ring me for?"
"Just to check if you're okay. Have you spoken to Louis about everything yet?"
"Yeah… kinda… No, not really… I'll speak to you later, okay? I've got to go." We both say goodbye, and then I hang up on her. I quickly check myself in the mirror, and then leave the toilets. I head straight for the nearest drinks machine and get a hot chocolate, and I'm just taking my first sip when Liam comes round the corner and scares the shit out of me.
"Bollocks!" I manage to drip boiling hot drink on a part of my chest that is bare and hiss in pain.
"Sorry!" He gasps and grabs a napkin from the machine. He hands it to me and holds my drink while I clear myself up.
"Moron!" I glare at him and he laughs. "Did you manage to get hold of Chloe's mum before you came here?"
"Yeah, and she brought Joyce with her." Everybody knows the whole story now, including Jack's death. "They're in with Chloe now, so everybody else left to give them some space, except for Niall; he refused to leave, and Chloe wouldn't let him anyway. She's asking for you though." I look down at my feet guiltily; I shouldn't have left.
"Did Zayn drive you over?" I ask, taking my drink back off of him. He nods, and I start walking towards Chloe's room.
"Yeah; we've kind of sorted things out now… Well, we're not arguing anymore, which is a start." He slips his hand into mine and I smile, but I start to get the feeling that something's wrong. I ignore it and take another sip of my drink, and then Louis sprints around the corner and nearly runs into me, causing me to spill my drink all over myself again.
"Bollocks! Louis!" I shout angrily and give my drink to Liam again so I can clear myself up… again.
"Jordan you need to come with me now." The panic in his voice makes my heart jump into my throat.
"What's happened?" I ask shakily, forgetting all about the drink that's all over my chest. He doesn't answer; instead he grabs my hand and pulls me towards Chloe's room. I let go of him and run ahead, and when I get there everyone is gathered outside except for Emma (Chloe's mum) and Niall. "What's going on?"
"I don't know if you should go in there, Jordan." Harry takes my hands in his and pulls me away from everyone else. "Chloe… uh, Chloe's bleeding… a lot. Niall is in there, and so is her mum. Everything's going to be okay, but you should probably stay with us." I shake my head violently and push him away and then run into the room.
"You can't come in here, miss." A nurse says, trying to push me away, but I resist her. Chloe is sat on the bed, wincing in pain and surrounded by blood, and the doctor is examining her. Niall is stood at the back of the room with his arms awkwardly around Emma, trying to calm her down.
"We're going to have to do an emergency C-section but we need your consent, Miss Bishop." The doctor says anxiously, and the nurse immediately lets go of me and helps Chloe to lie down on the bed. The doctor walks over to the phone and calls someone, but I don't hear any of his conversation; I'm too focused on Chloe. Tears are flowing steadily down her cheeks and she reaches for me as a nurse walks over to her with a clipboard. Chloe looks at Niall and her mum for assurance, and they both tell her that signing the consent form is the right thing to do. I run over and take her hand and try to assure her that everything is going to be okay, but there's nothing I can say to calm her. She signs the form, and the nurses instantly ready her to be moved.
"We need to take her up to theatre now, miss, so can you move please." A nurse says to me, and I squeeze Chloe's hand reassuringly before moving to stand next to Niall and Emma. Emma instantly pulls me into her arms and hugs me tight, and then all we follow the nurses as they wheel Chloe's bed out of room. Everybody stands in shock as Chloe is wheeled past them, and then they all try and comfort me, but there's only one person I want right now; I hold out my hand, and Louis grasps it tightly and follows as the nurses rush Chloe into the operating room. None of us are allowed in and we're all directed to the waiting room, but Niall, Emma and I all refuse to move. Louis puts his arms around me and refuses to leave me on my own, and Zayn, Liam and Harry head towards the waiting room. Joyce manages to convince Emma to go and sit down in the waiting room with them, and then Niall sits on a chair outside the operating room and stares at the doors, anxiously waiting for someone to come outside and tell him what's going on. I start to cry, and Louis tightens his arms around me and tries to calm me down.
"It's going to be okay, babe." He says, kissing the top of my head. I try to calm down and he pulls away from me and pierces my eyes with his orbs of blue. "They'll look after her and the baby, Jordan."
"I know." I nod, and he wipes away my tears. Then I go and sit in the seat next to Niall, who grabs my hand tightly. "Are you okay?"
"No." He whispers truthfully. "I'm so worried."
"So am I."
* An hour later *
"Jordan, wake up." Louis shakes me slightly, and I sleepily open my eyes. I'm sat on his lap but I quickly jump up and look around for Niall; he's stood by the doors talking to a doctor, and I run over and grasp his hand. Louis walks over and grabs my other hand, and the doctor regards us all anxiously.
"As I was saying to Mr Horan; Chloe is stable, and the bleeding has stopped." He wrings his hands.
"What about the baby?" I ask quietly, and the doctor's expression instantly changes to one of sorrow.
"I'm sorry, miss, but the baby was stillborn." The doctor says, and it takes a minute for what he said to sink in. Niall covers his mouth with his hands and tears well up in his eyes.
"No." I shake my head in denial and Louis wraps his arms around me and tries to calm me down. Tears tumble rapidly down my cheeks and I start to shake. "No, it can't be…"
"I'm so sorry, miss. We had to give Chloe general anaesthetic, so she is still unconscious and unaware what has happened. We're going to take her to recovery now, and when she wakes up you may go in and see her, but no more than 2 people at a time."
"Was… was it a boy or a girl?" Niall asks, wiping away the tears that are trickling down his cheeks.
"It was a boy." The doctor answers and Niall sobs quietly. The doctor apologises again and leaves, and Niall sits down on the chair with his head in his hands.
"You said… you said everything would be okay." I cry, pulling away from Louis, and his eyes brim with tears.
"I thought it would be." He whispers, and he pulls me back into his arms. "I'm sorry." I melt into his embrace, sobbing for my lost godson.
Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry! Don't hurt me! ;D what do you think? Review and tell me! :3 love you guys! xD xXx
