It's complicated.

It's complicated - Chapter 41

Flora p.o.v

"We've tried everything!" I groan shifting position, I can't ever get comfortable anymore the bump just gets in the way too much. I'm fed up with being pregnant I actually waddle instead of walk these days. 

It's Christmas eve and I'm a week overdue of when twins are usually born, we got all exited last week and nothing happened, I'm totally ready to spend my christmas in labour. 

"What else can we do apart for sit it out then? Chill out" Says Harry. 

"I want to get it over with" I complain. Poor Harry I do more complaining than anything else these days. 

"Well it'll be over when it's ready to be" He says massaging my hand softly. 

Everyone's round here, and they all look like they're having fun, but I would kill for a glass of wine right now. 

"What else induces labour?" Asks Harry putting the question the the rest of the group. 

"Sex!" Says Louis instantly. 

"Seriously!?" Says Harry open mouthed. 

"Apparently so" Says Louis. 

"Yeah I heard it does" Laughs Juliette. Harry turns raising his eyebrows at me. 

"Pfft, you'd be lucky" I say bursting his bubble, everyone laughs at him. 

"What about Curry?" Says Lauren. 

"What eating it?" Asks Niall exitedly. 

"No shit sherlock" Says Louis. The prospect of eating Curry and at the same time helping my current situation seems a great prospect right now. 

"Sounds good" I nod. 

"Whose hungry?" Asks Zayn. This is greeted with a chorus of things along the lines of yes. 

"Happy now?" Asks Harry. 

"Yes.." I say unsure. 

"God, you are tough to please these days" He says, but with a hint of a smile anyway. 

"Ooooh sorry, must be the hormones" I say. 

"Yeah I bet" He says raising his eyebrows. 

"Well s'cuse me but this is the whole point, I'm using my best efforts to get rid of them" I say grumpily. 

"Sorry, I understand" He says trying to be serious.

"Good" I frown, getting up and heading into the kitchen to see what I can else I can eat before dinner comes. 

 We've all soon polished off our body weight in curry and personally I'm not feeling anything apart from full.  I decide I'm going to help clear the plates to try and get things moving maybe. 

"Let me do it?" Says Harry. 

"No it's okay!" I say picking up as many as I can. Everyone looks at me incredulously, I'm not gonna drop them or anything. 

"What!? I'm not disabled! god" I say going through to the kitchen.

It seems like I spoke too soon as a pain shoots through my abdomen and disapears almost as quickly as it came, and everything I was holding comes crashing to the floor. 

Before I can react I hear voices calling my name and 9 people come rushing into the kitchen. 

"Oh my god what happened?" Says Lauren, as she rushes to pick up the plates and the others follow, I lean against the counter steadying myself. 

"Em, nothing, just a.. twinge thing, you get them sometimes" I say, I mean there's no way I'm in labour, that's not what it feels like.. is it? Something suddenly strikes me, I don't know what labour feels like, why ever didn't I ask. 

"Are you sure you're okay?" Harry asks he's gripping onto me anyway, looking at me intently, his turquoise eyes all concerned and cute. 

"Yeah, sure, I just need.. the toilet?" I say, almost questioningly , I just wanna be alone to prepare for another one. 

"Oh..okay.." He says eyeing me. I smile and rush into the bathroom. 

Before I even have a chance to take a deep breath it's like someone has tipped a bucket of water down my jeans and onto the floor. I look at the tap, it's not even fucking on, how did that happen...

"Shit!" I just about manage to squeak. I grab some toilet roll mopping it up, but I barely have time to before that pesky pain comes back again, exactly the same as last time. 

My waters have just broken, and I am getting contractions, I'm fucking in labour, ON CHRISTMAS EVE. 

"Flora are you okay?" I hear someone's voice outside the door, I think it's Zayn. 

"Emm, kinda.. can you get Harry for me please?" I say, trying not to let desperation kick in, I'm totally not ready for kids, omg why didn't I think about this. 

"Baby,are you okay?" He sounds so panicky, that's just what I need, he's meant to be the calm one. 

"Depends which baby you mean" I call back, not even trying to be funny, just so I can say something as I embrace the next pain. 

"Open the door" He says. I groan as I stand up. 

"Harry?"  I say questioningly, even though he's right in front of me. 

"Yes, what's wrong?" He says frowning. I take a deep breath telling myself to stay calm.

"My waters just broke" I say wincing. 

"Shit! what does that mean?" He asks. 

"And.. I'm getting contractions" I say. 

"Oh my god, you're in labour!" He says, he's definitely panicking now. 

"Guys! Flora's in labour!" He shouts out the door before I have a chance to react. 

I have my audience within a few seconds. 

"Did your waters break!?" I hear Faith ask from the back. 

"Yep" I say, them being all exited makes me more nervous. 

"Road Trip to the hospital!" I hear Louis shout from the back. 

"Someone get her bag" I hear Harry say as I'm bundled into the car.
