Delilah's POV
"I do."
"You may kiss the bride." The vicar announced. Smiles erupted on everyone's faces within the church. I couldn't help but smile as well, the sight in front of me brought a tear to my eye, and I'm not one to normally cry.
"I can't believe Louis finally got married." I sniffled out.
"Neither can I." Harry joked as he sat next to me, rubbing small circles on my hand with his thumb. "I suppose after he saw how happy we were when we got married, he couldn't wait." He beamed looking directly in my eyes.
"I love you." I muttered before pecking his lips. As Louis and his bride, Violet walked down the aisle, massive grins spread across their faces.
"I can't believe Louis found someone to put up with him." Harry whispered into my ear.
"Well Violet's just like him, they make a great pair." I whispered back. Everyone got up to give them a round of applause as they made their way down the church. Harry grabbed my hand and helped me stand on my two, swollen feet. As I stood up something didn't feel right, I look down at the ground and looked back up with fear written all over my face.
"Harry?" I asked calmly.
"Where is all this water coming from?" He asked dodging the puddle with his feet.
"Harry?" I asked slightly louder this time.
"Is the roof leaking or something?" He questioned, still ignoring me.
"Harry!" I demanded this time.
"Or has a pipe burst?" He quizzed, he was spinning around investigating the area, totally oblivious to me.
"HARRY MY WATER JUST BROKE!" I finally shouted, it definitely got his attention, as well as everyone else's in the room. Harry froze and turned to look at me, the colour had been drained from his face, he was slowly becoming a ghost.
"W-what?" He stuttered.
"I think I'm in labour." I gasped, holding onto my stomach as I felt a contraction.
"Now?" He asked wide eyed.
"Yes, now!" I shouted back, I had to sit down the pain was unbearable.
"Can't you just hold it until after the ceremony?" He asked stupidly.
"Oh yeah, let me just put having a baby on hold, let me just shove a plug up there and hope for the best!" I growled as the pain intensified.
"I'll take that as a no..."
"Ya think?"
"Someone call an ambulance!" He shouted, finally the realisation had kicked in.
"I'm so sorry Louis, Violet, this should be your day." I stammered out, grasping my stomach as the contraction subsided for a while.
"Hunny, this isn't your fault, and this is such a magical moment, you shouldn't be apologising." Violet replied sympathetically.
"Flooding the church on my wedding day? How could you Delilah?" Louis gasped. "I'm just joking, I didn't think this day could get any better." He added, Eskimo kissing his new wife. "But now I'm about to become an uncle." He grinned.
"Harry is that ambulance here yet?" I asked gasping for air, as the pain returned.
"He's about a minute away." Liam announced running in.
"Deep breaths." Harry said, trying to calm me down. It was working for a little while until the pain increased, I could barely breathe. Everyone was clearing out the church to give the paramedics room. Niall, Zayn, Liam, Violet, Louis and Harry all stayed by my side as I tried not to scream.
"Does it hurt?" Niall stupidly asked.
"No Niall, it's a walk in the park." I answered sarcastically. "I want to be a sea horse." I randomly announced.
"What?" Louis asked, he was even taken back by my random outburst.
"Male sea horses give birth." I managed to choke out.
"I don't even what to know how." Zayn replied wide eyed.
"The paramedics said don't push yet." Liam announced as he was holding a phone to his ear, I assumed on the phone to the ambulance crew. I nodded in response, trying my best not to concentrate on the pain. The doors of the church suddenly swung open and two paramedics dressed in their uniforms came hurdling through.
"Can you tell me your name hun?" One of the paramedics asked.
"Delilah." I replied breathing deeply.
"Okay Delilah, we don't need you to push yet, we're going to get you on the back of the ambulance."
"Okay." I stammered out.
"We'll give you something for the pain then too."
"Great." I replied gasping for air.
"Can you walk?" He asked. I slowly shook my head, the pain was far too intense to try and walk. "Okay, we'll get the wheel chair." He announced before telling his co-worker to get it.
"I'm so proud of you." Harry murmured into my hair, before placing a soft kiss on my temple. I grabbed his hand and tried to smile at him.
"Ready?" The paramedic asked as soon as the wheelchair was present. I nodded in response. "Okay, on the count of three we'll help you up and onto the chair." He informed. Once again I nodded waiting for further instruction. "One..two...three." He spoke, helping me to stand up on three, along with Harry and Liam who were on either side of me. I quickly sat down on the chair, relieved to not be stood up anymore.
"Thank you." I managed to say.
"Let's go!" Louis shouted charging after the paramedic who was pushing me fairly fast in the chair out of the church.
"Who's coming with you?" The paramedic asked me.
"Me, I'm her husband." Harry answered for me already climbing inside the ambulance.
"We'll meet you there." Liam said, darting off towards the other boys who were already climbing inside a car.
"Okay." Harry replied waving him off.
"We're just going to check how dilated you are." The paramedic informed. I nodded in response and grabbed back hold of Harry's hand as he proceeded to do what he had to. "Okay, you're about 7cm dilated, when we get to hospital you'll probably be ready to push." He announced. "Gas and air?" He asked. I took it straight from his hand and began sucking on the pump. The pain subsided a little, but as another contraction began I could barely take it.
"Shh, shh, it's okay." Harry whispered into my ear.
"We're almost there." The paramedic spoke. As the contraction ended, I was so grateful for the gas and air, we pulled up to the hospital. "Okay, here we are." He smiled. The doors quickly swung open and I was wheeled off the back and straight into the hospital. One of the places I hated most. I was put straight into the maternity ward and surrounded by nurses. They quickly helped me onto a bed and changed me into one of those dreaded hospital gowns, which I still despised so much.
"We're just going to see how dilated you are, okay?" One of the nurses asked. I nodded in response and close my eyes. I felt Harry's lips against my forehead. He was the only thing that was helping me through this. "Okay, you're almost 10cm dilated, we'll get another nurse to check and then we'll let you push. Looks like this one is eager to get out." She beamed. Get another nurse to have a look? It's not a zoo, you can't just come and have a look anytime you want, I thought.
"Do you want anything for the pain?" Harry asked.
"More gas and air." I gasped. He quickly handed me the tube and watched as I suffered another contraction. I heard a disturbance outside the door, I didn't really need to second guess what was going on. The door flung open and in came the other boys and Violet, still dressed in their tuxes. I felt sorry for Violet, she was running around in her wedding dress.
"How's she doing?" Liam asked, directing it to Harry.
"Amazing." He grinned, holding onto my hand tightly. "She's gonna start pushing soon." He announced.
"I can't wait." Louis replied bouncing up and down. In the past several years, he still hadn't changed a bit. Louis was no longer the 19 year old with wind swept hair across his forehead, he was the 25 year old with wind swept hair still across his forehead. Just like his behaviour, some things never change.
"Are you ready to push?" One of the nurses asked as she pulled on her rubber gloves. In all honesty I was completely petrified but there was no turning back.
"I don't have much choice." I joked.
"Okay, when you next get a contraction you're going to push for me. Place your chin on your chest and just push." She informed, I nodded in response. We all waited in suspense for the next contraction, it felt like it was never going to come.
"Any time soon would be nice." Harry joked causing everyone in the room to laugh. I whacked him round the back of the head with my free hand, still waiting in suspense.
"Right when you need one they just stop." Violet spoke.
"Maybe the baby's gone into hiding." Niall added. I couldn't help but laugh at him and his adorableness.
"Anyone hungry?" Louis asked as we were all just waiting, not really saying much.
"Yeah, I fancy a hotdog." Niall grinned.
"I was looking forward to some wedding cake." Zayn added.
"Does anyone want anything from the canteen?" Louis questioned.
"Hotdog!" Niall shouted.
"Can I get a water please babe?" Violet asked.
"Liam?" Louis asked.
"Uh, maybe a water for me too."
"Anyone else?"
"Uh, yeah can I have a-" Zayn started until I let out a scream.
"Maybe food can wait." Louis announced.
"Okay Delilah, we need to push, remember what I told you." The nurse responded to my scream. I tried my best to push, it didn't feel like a lot was happening. "Keep going, you're doing great." She said trying to reassure me. The pain was extreme, I had never felt pain like this before, I had heard it was equivalent to breaking 36 bones at the same time or something, I always thought that was an exaggeration but now my opinion had completely changed. "Keep going!" She insisted. "I can see a head." She beamed.
"You're doing amazing." Harry whispered into my ear.
"Are you ready? It's going to come out any second." The nurse grinned. I continued to push, wishing the process would hurry up. I should be grateful for the fact my labour was quick, it hadn't even lasted an hour, some women are in labour for up to two days or something crazy. "One final push." She asked.
"One more push." Harry grinned. I gave it everything I had and pushed my best.
"Here it comes." The nurse excitedly announced. "Keep going!" She added, as she held my baby on its journey out. I was finally able to breathe again. "Congratulations on your baby boy." She smiled. Harry's face lit up, as did mine, with joy, delight and relief. "Now onto the next one." The nurse announced.
"W-what?" I asked feeling as if I wanted to faint.
"Still one more to go." She smiled.
"What?" Harry asked this time.
"Did you not know you were having twins?" She asked confused.
"TWINS?!" Me and Harry shouted at the same time.
"Give me a big push?" She asked ignoring our confusion. I continued to push, no matter how much it hurt. I could hear our son crying from the other side of the room which gave me the strength to continue. "Okay, it's coming, just one more push." How many 'one more pushes?' is she going to ask I thought. "Here it comes." She added. "Keep going, keep going!" The next thing I knew was I could hear crying. It brought a tear to my. "Don't worry, there isn't anymore." She joked, finally something I could be relieved of. "Congratulations on your baby girl." The nurse smiled.
"Can I hold her?" I asked.
"We'll just clean her up, would you like to hold your soon?" I quickly nodded as she placed a little bundle of joy wrapped in a towel in my arms.
"Welcome to the world Justin." Harry quietly said as he pecked him on his small head. We had already decided on a name for him. The nurse walked over and placed our daughter in Harry's arms, I have never seen him so happy. It was such a sweet sight.
"What are we going to call her?" I asked quietly.
"Taylor?" He asked.
"I love that name." I smiled sweetly and turned back to look at little Justin who was now asleep in my arms. Harry was cradling Taylor as she drifted to sleep in his arms.
"Awwww." Louis gushed.
"Do you want to hold him?" I asked Louis.
"I'd love to." He beamed back. He walked over to the bed, I carefully placed Justin in his arms and watched as he made funny faces at the sleeping baby. I knew it would only be a matter of time before he had his own little 'Louis''.
"I bet they grow up to be a miniature Harry and Delilah." Niall grinned.
"If that happens, I am not babysitting!" Zayn announced, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Well done hun, you were amazing." Violet spoke as she wrapped her arms around me.
"Thank you." I whispered to her. As she pulled away I was greeted by another pair of arms; Liam's. He gave me a subtle kiss on the forehead before pulling away. The room was filled with silence as we were all in the presence of two beautiful things. Justin, Taylor welcome to the world, it's not always the nicest of places but it sure can we a lot of fun. And as Ronan Keating once said; Life is a roller-coaster.
