I sighed staring myself in the full length mirror; i was fat and it was doing my head in. I poked my stomach slightly, Nicholas was telling me he could hear two heart beats now not one, that always made me smile. at least it was living. Liam had done all the scans but I didnt want to know what it was yet; I was secretivly hoping for a girl. Solange appeared next to me "You ok?" She asked staring into the mirror with me. "Yeah...not long now ay?" I whispered, Solange shuck her head. "No Liam says any day now" I nodded. "Erm Solange? Can i tell you something If you promise not to freak out?" She nodded "I wont" "my water just broke..."
***Solange***
"Oh my god! Ok ok!" I pushed Lucy out the bathroom down the staries into the frontroom where Liam sat reading his paper "Dad!" I cried, he jumped up, his paper crumpled next to him. "Lucys water broke!" Liam paled slightly before taking Lucys hand, Nicholas who was sat on the sofa next to Quinn jumped up. Liam pulled Lucy into the hospital room and lay her gently on the bed. "Are you ok?" He whispered. Lucy shrugged "Ive had worse" She said bluntly "Ok ok just breathe for me ok?" he whispered as he bent low over the counters collecting werid medical equpiment; I watched my brother take Lucys hand. "You sure your ok?" He whispered, she nodded slightly "Im fine, ive told you im fi-" She broke off screaming loudly; Nicholas' eyes went wide and his face paled more. Ive never seen him look so scared.
***Liam***
"Nicholas!" I cried, throwing a oxygen mask to him "Put it on Lucys mouth for her" Nicholas nodded placing the mask over her mouth and nose "Lucy I want you to breath for me, deep breaths come on." She nodded and closed her eyes, taking deep breaths; her heart was slowling down worryingly. "Come on your almost there" I whispered.
***Lucy***
I couldnt feel anymore, the breaths Liam told me to take where burning my lungs; each breath felt like another one of Jamies stakes punchering my chest. I heard crying which wasnt mine. It was high pitched, more like wailing then crying. Nicholas removed his hand from mine, causing my eyes to snap open, I tried to snatch for his hand, somes hand. "Lucy. Lucy look at me" I looked up at Nicholas, he was clutching in his arms a small baby. "Its a girl" He whispered, I looked at up in amazement. "Elyon" I whispered gently. Nicholas smiled; It was the name I had wanted for a girl; Elyon. I sighed gently closing my eyes. "Lucy? Lucy!" I heard Liam shout "Whats wrong!" Helena asked, she had heard the screaming and come running "Her heartbeat!" Solange screamed.
***Helena***
Her heartbeat was too slow for any of our likings. "Lucy!" Solange screamed, she raced forward clutching her best friends shoulders "Oh god Lucy open your eyes now!" Nicholas grabbed hold of her hand shouting loudly at her. Lucy's eyes flutted gently, a deep sigh came from Solange who buried her face into hair, covering her teary eyes. Lucy lifted a sweaty hand up to Nicholas face; "I love you" She whispered, his eyes lolling into her head. Nicholas let out a scream. "No Lucy! You cant! No!" He yelled, Her hand slipped from his face but he grabbed it tightly, sweat pouring from his own face. "I cant lose you" He whispered before sinking his teeth deep into her limp wrist.
