Half A Heart (sequel to Louis' Sister)

Chapter 7

*Niall's POV*

I held them in my arms. Alexa and James. they're so beautiful.

Louis came and took James.

I stared at Alexa. she's beyond beautiful. my little princess, my little girl.

I promise that I will take care of her and protect her. And my little prince, James. I will risk my life for all three of them.

My beautiful fiancé, soon to be wife, my son, and my daughter.

I looked at Chris. She was sleeping.

The doctor walked in. she saw all of us in here.

"Who's the father?" she asked.

I walked up to her.

"Can we talk outside for a bit?" she asks. I nod.

I gave Liam, Alexa. and pecked her forehead before walking out.

"Is everything ok?" I ask.

"Well, we did some testing to see if they were ok because your wife had a fever through labour, and it's your daughter" she says.

"What about Alexa?" I ask.

"She has Leukaemia" she said.

"No. she can't possibly have cancer" I say.

"I'm very sorry" she says. and walks away.

I walk back in.

"Everything ok?" My dad asks.

I hug my mum. she hugged me back. as I cried on her shoulder.

"She has leukaemia" I whisper.

"Who does?" They ask.

"Alexa" I say.

My mum cries while she holds me. I feel like a child crying to my mum. but I don't care. I love my princess and I vowed that I would protect her, her brother, and her mother.

I will do anything to help her fight it.

"No. it's bullshit" Johanna says.

"It's ok mum" Louis says.

"Hey, are you ok?" Chris asks.

"Hey" I say. I kneel down and grab her hand.

I move her hair away from her face. I looked at her and started to cry.

"Niall what's wrong? Is it one of the twins?" She ask.

"Alexa" I cry.

"What about Alexa?" She asks.

"She has leukaemia" I say.

"What?" She starts to cry.

She gets up. She gets out of bed and walks towards them.

"Chris, you can't get out of bed" I say.

I hold her back.

"I have to see her!" She says.

"Chris, you need to calm down and take a seat" I say.

She stopped half way. The machines started to beep. Doctors rushed in and put her on the bed.

"Is she gonna be ok?" I ask.

"Possibly" the doctor says.

Fuck.

Why? Why couldn't I be me the one in pain instead Chris? Why couldn't I be the one to have cancer instead of Alexa? Why?
