Danny's eyes widened, "But you're not due?"
Louise winced as she got another contraction, "I know that!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him closer, "Don't leave me!"
Daniel brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it softly, "I'm not going anywhere!" He smiled softly
Daniel followed them into the labour room as a doctor grabbed him, "Are you the baby's father?"
Daniel nodded, "Yeah why?"
"I need to talk to you."
"What about?"
"You do realise that if this baby is born today, she will be premature and her chances are low."
Daniel nodded
"Now from your partners latest scans, your baby hasn't been putting on a lot of weight recently, she is a very small little girl."
Daniel nodded again, "I know."
The doctor nodded at Daniel, "Just so you know."
"Can I go in now?"
The doctor shook his head, "Let them do an initial examination first."
"That's what they said to my Dad 4 hours ago and they never let him in while his wife gave birth! I'm not missing my baby being born!"
"I'll try and get you in there as soon as she goes into labour."
Daniel shook his head and looked behind him as he felt a hand on his shoulder, "Are you ok Dan?"
Daniel turned round to see Nick, "She's gone into labour."
Nick nodded, "I know, I heard."
"What if she doesn't survive Dad. That doctor said she's gonna be a very small baby."
Nick pulled Daniel into a hug "Listen to me, you were 4lb 12oz when you were born and you were fine." He pulled away from the hug slightly and looked down at Daniel, "it'll be fine! Now you go into that room and be that support that Louise needs and just remember, I'm right out here."
Daniel nodded and smiled before opening the door to the labour room. He walked over and stood next to Louise, grabbing her hand and kissing it softly again, "I promise I'm not going to leave you babes."
...
Nick sat with his chin on his hands waiting for someone to leave the room opposite, Zoe was sat next to him in a hospital chair with baby Charlie wrapped up in blankets in her arms, "How long is this going to take?" Nick asked impatiently
Zoe sighed and rocked Charlie in her arms. She looked up as the door opened, out walked Daniel with a wide smile on his face, Nick shot up and walked over to Daniel, Daniel put his arms around Nick and started to cry, "What's up Dan?"
"She's perfect!"
"How heavy was she?" Zoe asked from further down the corridor
"5lb 1oz." Daniel said as he pulled away from the hug, "Do you want to see her?"
Nick and Zoe both nodded as Daniel walked back into the room. He walked back out moments later with a tiny bundle in his arms, grinning proudly "Dad, Zoe, meet Scarlett Maisie Jordan."
A/N: Thought I'd leave it there as its now 11:41pm. I'll update again tomorrow :) I thought Daniel deserved some form of happiness :P
