Icarus Rose [TRANSLATION]

Chapter Fifty Two

August arrived and everyone had an eye on Zayn, as he seemed to be about to give birth with every step he took, Liam wouldn't let go of him and every time they got even close to him, he growled, for which only his siblings could get within a certain distance and the only people allowed to be alone with the omega were Harry, Shawn and Barbara.

Harry already had a much more noticeable pregnancy belly, they already knew it would be a girl and of course their grandmothers had been the first to find out, every month they had been in charge of sending them copies of their ultrasounds, Lillibeth and Jane were excited to see their first grandchild in their arms, Molly and Sophia had made paper crowns for themselves, their sisters and niece, Harry nearly cried when they showed him. The pregnancy was going quite well, it was already out of risk and that couldn't have made them happier.

But it hadn't been easy at all, the first three months Harry woke up crying, with both hands on his belly trying to protect his future puppy, always afraid of losing her, sometimes he disconnected from the world while caressing his swollen belly, whispering nice words until Louis would bring him out of his own thoughts, reassuring him that everything would be fine, kissing and cuddling him until he fell asleep, at every obstetrician appointment they mentioned that omega concern, and the doctor assured them that everything was in order. The baby was healthy, and Harry's therapist was helping him, until well into the second trimester, all of that seemed to be a sad memory, Louis was proud of how far his omega was progressing.

And in the early morning of August 21, Zayn began to have very strong contractions, so much so that he woke up everyone on that same floor with the piercing cry that he had released.

"Love? Are they coming?" Liam asked, quite scared, suddenly Harry and Louis bursted into the room.

"No, you idiot alpha. I'm just yelling to see how many morons I can scare!" Zayn growled and got up from the bed, holding his lower back with both hands. He looked at his alpha, who was still on the bed looking at him with narrowed eyes. "What are you doing there staring at me?! Call the doctor, I'm having your kids!"

Only at that moment Liam finished reacting and jumped out of bed, took his phone and asked a couple of guards to accompany them to the infirmary, just as he requested that they go for Dr. Jackson.

"Calm down, Zee, breathe, you can do this," Harry whispered as he helped the omega forward, if it wasn't a serious situation, Louis would have laughed to see the two omegas trying to get out of the room.

Liam hurried to open the door for him, where at least five guards were already waiting to escort them, Niall and Shawn came running, their pyjamas rather awkwardly arranged.

"Weren't you short of more guards, Li?" Niall asked teasingly and Liam growled in his direction. "Just kidding, don't be bitter."

The six of them ran towards the infirmary, Shawn and Harry were with Zayn, holding his hands and helping him into his robe, Barbara arrived a few minutes later, excited to see her first grandchildren born.

The doctor didn't even take five minutes to arrive, he arranged everything he was going to need and asked everyone to leave, even Liam, that was the protocol because some alphas got too aggressive seeing their omegas suffer so much with childbirth.

They spent approximately seven hours waiting outside the infirmary, Liam pacing the hallway, listening to Zayn's heart-rending screams, Harry had started to get nervous hearing Zayn's suffering, Louis was trying to calm him down, and Shawn and Niall were playing with the alpha's phone.

"How can they be so calm?" Harry asked at some point in the night, stroking his belly and not letting Louis stray too far.

"Simple, we're not expecting a baby like you guys," Niall replied, shrugging his shoulders in indifference, Shawn looked at him with a nervous little smile, but the alpha didn't even notice, "besides that Dr. Jackson is the best obstetrician you are going to find, Curly, don't worry."
