Lost To You

~ Audrey's POV ~
*5 Months Later*

I sat in my one bedroom apartment. Looking to my ceiling, with my head propped up against a pillow. I was here. Still in Hawaii after eight months...my summer vacation has turned into a reality. A home. My uncle sent me all of my stuff, and here I am. Living on my own like the soon to be single mother I am.

Ridiculous.

I'd seen him. Exactly six times I had seen Harry since the break up. He made eye contact with me seventeen times, and he smiled at me four. Over the course of five or six months he only smiled at me four times. And I only smiled at him three. Whenever his gaze met mine my heart would flutter and I would end the day by crying myself to sleep. I missed him. I missed him so much, that I've turned numb. Without him I'm nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I'd ignored him. I'd ignored Joseph at all times, and Deborah still doesn't know he kissed me. I plan to keep it that way. He messed up, and he should have the balls to tell her.

"Audrey!" Deborah came rushing through the door, her bag slung over her shoulder and her hair all disheveled around her face. She pushed her bangs back and looked at me.

"You're late! I was afraid you weren't even gonna come!" I yelled, getting up from the bed.

"I'm sorry! I just got your message. How far apart are they?" She asked and looked at me with concern.

"Like, sixteen minutes. Let's go!" I put on my oh-so comfortable ducky slippers and we headed out the door.

Well, this twenty year old is about to have a son.

///

"Oh my god!" I screamed and clutched my baby bump as another contraction hit me. Pain scorched through me. Fire burning my skin as Deborah brought a cool towel to my forehead.

"Audrey." Zayn's voice was cautious as he lead all four boys into the room where I was staying.

"Hey." Deborah greeted for me, and I squeezed my eyes shut as my previous contraction died down.

"You're still thirteen minutes apart...it could be two to three hours until you go into labor, Ms. Manville." Doctor Blue informed me and all I did was nod and groan. Once the doctor left the room, I turned to the five boys. Harry. Of course he would be here. I love him for that.

"Damn...you look aw-" Liam covered Louis' mouth with his hand and I glared at the boy.

"I'm about to have a fucking child, why don't you trade me spots and tell me if you care about your appearance." I snapped and Louis smirked.

"Sorry." He said and I threw my head back onto the pillow.

"I hate this. Just want to fast forward through all the painful shit then be able to hold my baby in my arms. This sucks." I huffed and Deborah laughs.

"I'm sorry, Aud. Just...keep a positive attitude okay? Everything will be much better." She tried to assure and I almost laugh.

Positive attitude.

"Whatever." I mumble and look at the ceiling.

"Audrey, what's it like?" Niall asks, looking at me like he really wanted to know the question.

"Hell. Have you ever been? I have and it's a lot like this." I say and Deborah opens her mouth in shock.

"Audrey! Stop it. If you keep being mean to yourself this will only get worse." She says and I sigh.

"Fine! Niall it sucks. It really does." I tell him and Deborah smiles in approval.

Ugh.

"Do you need anything? Food? Water? Punching bag?" Louis jokes and I laugh.

"No, I could just use your face." I snap at him for making fun of me and Deborah sends me a glare.

"Hah! That was a good one!" Zayn doubles over in laughter and I take a hair tie off of my wrist.

"Deborah, could you put my hair up?" I ask her and she nods while taking the elastic and tying my hair up in a knot at the top of my head. I thank her and sip at my water while the boys take my mind off of the whole baby thing before Joseph walks in. I tense.

"Audrey, why do you always turn to stone when Joseph walks into a room?" Liam asks and I look at my fingers.

"I don't..." I try to convince.

"She kissed me and now things are awkward." Joseph lies and I clutch my water bottle tighter.

"You did what?!" Deborah shrieks and steps away from me, eyeing me like some kind of monster.

"Oh my god! You're ridiculous, now is when you start this with me? Now?!" I hiss and look to Deborah.

"You are so full of bull shit." Joseph mutters and I throw my water bottle at his chest, he looks at me with a smirk and I nearly lose it.

"Me? Okay, whatever. I don't even care what you tell her. But you, have no right to come in here and act like you're innocent. That's ridiculous, Joseph. You know it and I know it. I have too much shit going on right now, and I'm kind of trying to have a baby so if you could save the lies and the drama for a different time that would be great." It was silent. I was fuming and Deborah was beyond confused.

"You kissed her?" Deborah asked and Joseph argued back while I felt another contraction coming.

"Shit! Guys!" Zayn gestures to me as I cry out in pain, the burn of the contraction filling me once again as one hand found my found stomach and the other squeezed the arm of the bed for support.

"What do we do?!" Harry asks, running a nervous hand through his curls.

"Hold her hand!" Liam yells and I squeeze my eyes shut when I feel a large hand cover my own. I dug my nails into the skin on the persons hand and he hisses as tears slick down my face.

Harry.

Harry was holding my hand.

Harry was reassuring me.

Harry was fucking right next to me.

"Audrey! Fuck that scared me." Harry said as my back hit the pillows again, my breath coming back to a normal pace.

"These stupid ass contractions happen every thirteen minutes, and they will only get closer together." I murmured and wiped the tears from my cheeks.

"Every thirteen minutes? I'm sorry." Niall said sympathetically and I shrugged.

"Audrey I don't know who to believe here..." Deborah looked at me to Joseph in a nervous act.

"I'm not in the mood to defend myself so, can this wait? Please?" My plea sent Joseph rolling is eyes and walking out of the room. He knows I'm right. He's a little dip shit.

"Audrey...I-I need a minute." She mumbled before leaving the room to follow Joseph.

"Mother fucking dick face. He decides to tell her today? Someone needs to punch him." I say, mostly to myself and Liam laughs.

"You've got a lot of anger in there, don't ya?" He teased and I smiled sarcastically.

"So...what happened?" Louis asked and I huff in annoyance of the topic.

"It was such a long time ago...after the beach when I was painting and you three were there...." Zayn, Louis, and Harry nodded in confirmation. "After that I went to the hotel and I was...something was up with me....I was either crying or yelling." Niall chuckled and I smiled. "And Joseph was like...hugging me and shit then he kissed me. I should have told Deborah right away but I was fucking scared...I didn't know what to do so I moved out to that apartment. I don't ever want to be near him again for hurting Deborah like that." I looked up from my fiddling fingers and all of the boys were looking at me with wide eyes.

"He kissed you, and after months and months of hiding it from Deborah he blames you?" Louis says and I nod.

"Damn, girl. You need to start fighting for yourself. Audrey, you're sweet and that's why we love you...but you can't always do this. You need to be honest with yourself and the people around you. Joseph kissing you...he saw you as vulnerable. You were probably crying because you saw Harry so soon after the break up and he looked at you as and easy target. I don't know what his intentions were but, either way you should let him know you're not taking his shit." Niall said and I looked at the blonde.

"That was the nicest thing you've ever said to me." I say in sheer disbelief. He laughs and I crack a small smile that lifts the edges of my mouth.

"I'm sorry I haven't said nicer." He apologizes and I roll my eyes playfully.

"I'm joking, Niall. You don't need to apologize, silly." I said.

"You're telling me? You apologize for everything, Audrey!" He exclaims and I scoff.

"I do not!" I defend.

"Yes you do." The five boys say in unison and I huff.

"Maybe I just have a lot to apologize for." I cross my arms over my chest and I bite the inside of my cheek.

"Audrey, no you don't-" Harry starts but the doctor cuts in after entering the room.

"Audrey, how are you feeling?" Doctor Blue asked and I look at him.

"I feel fine...I'm a little nauseous." I shrug and he looks over something on his clip board.

"Hmm...you shouldn't be nauseous. Are you sure?" He doubles checks and I nod. "When was the last time you've fed yourself and the baby?"

"Uhh...breakfast...?" I said, not exactly sure of the time.

"It's 2:30 in the afternoon, Audrey. Eat something and I'll be back in half an hour." Doctor Blue says before leaving.

"What do you want?" Zayn asks, taking his keys out of his pocket.

"I'm not hungry." I say and they all look at me disapprovingly.

"Audrey, you're eating okay? Tell the man what you want to eat." Louis says sternly and I huff.

"I...I don't know! You pick something out." I say and Zayn widens his eyes.

"I don't know what you like!" He defends.

"Go to that taco place near the condo. Get her a chicken taco salad with black beans and medium chunky salsa." It rolled off of Harry's tongue like it was meant to be said. He remembered.

"Audrey?" Zayn looked to me for confirmation and I nodded.

"Yeah...that's right." I smiled softly and it got quiet as everyone looked at me.

"Do you want something to drink?" Louis asked and I opened my mouth to say no but Harry beat me to it,
"Mango soda." He mumbled while scrolling through his phone.

"I'll go get that then. Anyone wanna join?" Niall and Louis and Liam joined Zayn to get my food while Harry stayed.

"You remembered." I whispered and his head snapped up from his phone to look at me.

"You got that every time we went there...we went there a lot, Audrey." He said with a smile and I laughed.
"I guess we did..." My mind raced with memories of me and Harry sitting in the small taco place laughing about something or talking to one another...god I miss that.

"Audrey....I never got to tell you how sorry I am. I said some things and rethinking them now...they were really harsh. I didn't mean any of it and I really am sorry." I was quiet. He did say some things but I've moved past it...I'm over it.

"It's okay...honestly, I deserved them. And I didn't mean anything I said either...I don't hate you. I can't hate you, Harry." I small laugh came from him and I smiled. "What?"

"Nothing...I remember all of the times you said you just wanted the pregnancy to be over, and sometimes you even said you didn't think you could go through with it. And here you are, hours away from giving birth to Nova."

"Crazy...you guys have helped me so much, did you know that? You five boys are the reason I'm having this baby right now." I told him and he cocked his head to the side. "I wouldn't have anything to stay here for...I would be home with my dad right now. Not here with you guys." He smiled.

"I'm surprised your still here anyway. This was a vacation and now it's your home." He said and I nodded.
"I know. I like it here and this place feels like more of a home then California ever did." I widen my eyes as another contraction makes it's way to me.

"Fucking contractions." I say and squeeze my eyes shut as I sit up in pain.

"Shit." Harry mutters and he's by my side in seconds. His hand is my reassurance as I clutch it harder. I grit my teeth and curse. "It's okay." Harry soothes nervously and let out a sigh when the pain leaves me
"It hurts Harry." I whine and he intwines our hands while he brushes the stray hairs from my bun out of my face. His lips press to the back of my hand and I sigh.

"You're so close, Aud. I'm so proud of you." His whispers and I almost don't hear it.

"Harry, when I saw you here today...something inside of me changed. I don't know what it is but I don't know if I want to find out." I say, not looking at him.

"Is it good or bad?" He whispers and I shrug.

"I think it's good...I don't want it to be bad." I flick my gaze to his momentarily and he's looking at me intently.

"I miss you, Auds." He mumbles and I close my eyes.

"I miss you too. I don't like not being with you...it hurts though, Harry. Whenever I get home and I saw you that day I-I break down. You're a reminder of what I can't have." Tears brimmed my eyes as I opened them and looked at Harry. He was searching my face for something he would never find.

"What makes you think you can't have me? That we can't have each other? Audrey, I love you. I know it's not what you want to hear right now but I do. I love you with every single cell in my body and you should know that by now. We have been through so much, nothing is going to change. We can both be miserable for the rest of our lives or we can accept the fact that we are good for each other. We can accept that our love for one another is too strong to let go of."

"I love you too." I say. He dips his head down and kisses me. The sun could be blowing up , and the universe could be reborn and I wouldn't even know it. All I feel is Harry above me, below me-everywhere. I can barely breathe but I think that his lips might be better than oxygen at the moment. He pulls back an inch, his eyes burning into mine.

"Do you know how much I've missed that?" He whispers and my heart pounds against my ribcage. I can't respond. I'm in shock. Instead I tilt my head up and press my mouth to his once again. He urgently clutched the side of my face, his fingers trailing along my jaw, dipping into my hair, and running down my neck as he kissed me. I sighed into his mouth and let my fingers work into the rigid muscles of his arms. God he was beautiful.

"Ahem!" We ignored the rude boys at the door and Harry deepened the kiss, his tongue caressing mine in the sweetest way imaginable. We parted, his focus still on me and mine on him. His eyes were swimming with delight, something I haven't experienced in months.

"Are you two done?" Louis asks and Harry groans.

"Can't you take a hint?" He asks and the boys shrug before walking into the room and handing me my food.

"Thank you! I'll pay you back-" Zayn cut me off.

"No you won't. It's okay, Aud. You're about to push a baby out of your body the least I can do is buy you lunch." I narrowed my eyes at him and put my food on the side table before propping myself up and sitting cross-legged on the bed. The boys found chairs and things to sit on as they shared around to-go boxes.

"So, care to explain what we just witnessed?" Niall smirked and Harry threw a piece of chicken at his face.

"What exactly did we witness?" Liam cocks an eye brow and I look at my salad.

"I don't know." Harry shrugged, "I'm trying to figure it out."

"Same here." I agreed and the hospital door swung open, Zachary was there with a beanie on over his-what I'm assuming-messy hair. I dropped my fork into my box and my mouth fell open.

No.

"Audrey...god, Deborah called me two days ago saying you were due soon...and-and I don't know! I couldn't stay away." I blinked at him. What?

"Well, this is fantastic!" I said sarcastically and the boys sent him glares.

"She...she-well....Audrey since your single now I-I...you need me. I'm the father of that baby and I'm here to take responsibility." I almost laugh at him. What a loser.

"Who said I was single?" I asked.

"You're still with that British dude?" His words are disapproving.

"I never said that." I say.

"So...you're not with anyone?" I shake my head.

"Nope."

"You're single then." He confirms.

"No. I'm taken...I'm just not with anyone." I tell him, and he looks at me in confusion.

"That makes no sense, Audrey." Zachary looks at Harry and then back to me.

"It doesn't need to make sense. Get out." I snapped and Zachary cracked his knuckles at his sides. A habit of his that I hated.

"Okay...so you're taken. But I'm still the father of that baby." This time, I do laugh at him.

"You're ridiculous! Zachary, you left me. We were together for years and when I need you the most you make me do it alone. But, I'm over it. You had months to turn the whole thing around and you didn't. You can't walk in here the day I'm giving birth to my child and demand to be the father. Nova won't need you because he's already got people that are going to love him more than you ever would." Zachary dropped his mouth open in offense and I shrugged before taking a bite of my food.

"Who's Nova?" He asks and I roll my eyes.

"None of your business." I muttered and Zachary comes right next to my bed side.

"Audrey...why do you hate me so much?" He asks, his voice thick with sadness.

"You don't even know do you? You were so drunk that night...I wouldn't expect you to anyway." My eyes are stuck on my food, it's taking everything in my trembling body to fight the urge to punch him.

"When? What? I'm lost." He mumbles.

"Nothing."

~ Harry's POV ~

Audrey and I had been through so much. Indescribable bliss and devastating sorrow. Our love ran so deep, and yet, it seemed our wounds ran even deeper. Some of those wounds had seemed unbearable, inflictions impossible to recover from.

One had been talking to my friends about Audrey in bed. The day I sent her over the edge of heartbreak by gossiping about her intimate life.

Another had been the day she left me. Broke things off because she thought she wasn't good for me. She'd torn us apart when we needed each other the most.

I once believed the other had been the day I'd walked out of the hotel room about five or so moths ago. I couldn't imagine hurting any worse than that moment, when I'd snapped the door shut to block out the overwhelming sorrow of the woman I loved, a wall put up between us because neither of us knew how to deal with the pain.

"God dammit, Audrey just tell me." His hands clutched her face, forcing her to look at him. He held her perfect face in his filthy hands, he thinks he can touch her after what he did? Hell no!

"Don't touch me." She spat, hitting his hands away the second he released his grip on her his hand was only brought back to smack her cheek. The sound of his hands slapping her cheek sent a ripple of anger through me. The chair I was sitting on was pushed back with force as I pinned this dickhead to the wall by the hospital door.

"Are you out of your fucking mind?" The asshole's voice rang through.

"Yes. After everything you've done you have the nerve to slap her?" My hands fisted in the collar of his shirt.

"She needs to be put in her place! I've done it before, it's not a big deal." He wheezed, and I let go of his shirt, my arm cocked back and fury blinded me as I slammed my fist into the underside of his jaw. His head rocked back, a guttural groan roared from his throat.

Audrey's undying presence nipped at my soul, teased an taunted as I bore down on this asshole who thought it was okay to physically hurt her.

I hit him again, the strike landing on his cheek. He stumbled back, his own fury mounting a resistance as he surged forward. His fist connected with my nose. Pain exploded, splitting my vision. Blood gushed, and I saw red. I lost it, losing myself in the pent-up rage that I'd harbored for so long. I anger for her, anger for me, anger for this asshole, anger at the injustice of this fucked up world.

Her desperate voice hit my hears. "Harry, please, stop." I stumbled back, aggression still curling through my senses as I glared down at the piece of shit who was continuously hurting her.

"You rape her, hit her...and you had the guts to try and get her back? You are not worthy of being with her...do you know that? You are not worthy of her time, and you were never worthy of her love." Audrey whimpers in the background, as a I clench and unclench my bloody fists.

"Rape her?! What the fuck? I didn't do shit." He said and stands to level his gaze with me.

"Try and remember the night you took her virginity." I snap and he looks to the ground as he goes into deep thought.

"Harry." Audrey sniffs and I turn to face her. Tears streak her cheeks as she looks at me.

"God, Audrey let someone defend you for once...he needs to know what he did." She chokes back a sob, shutting her eyes closed.

"Audrey, are you okay?" Liam whispers and she nods. But I know her well enough to say she's not okay.

"Audrey did you tell them I raped you?! What bull shit!" He exclaims and Audrey rolls her teary eyes.

"It's not bull shit! I remember everything, Zachary...you came to my house in the middle of the night while my parents were gone on their vacation and you were completely wasted. You forced me into it-I didn't have a choice. The next morning you woke up and acted like it had been the most romantic thing in the world...like it meant something. But it didn't mean shit because you did it under alcohol, and you did it to hurt me." Another sob escapes her shaky lips and I nearly fall to my knees. It breaks me in literal pieces to see her this way. "And you know what I did? I pretended it was okay...that it was just a drunken mistake but the moment you found out I was pregnant and you left me I knew it wasn't okay. I knew it was more than just a slip up."

I watch as Zachary shrinks back, regret leaving his bloody face as a frown upholds his mouth.

"You want to know why I hate you? I hate you because you treated me like trash, you lied, and went behind my back while we were together. You hit me, and yelled at me once you found a new flaw to reck my self esteem with. You pretended that you loved me...who the fuck has the heart to treat someone like shit and then tell them three minutes later they love them?" Her rhetorical questions sent Zachary into full despair, eyebrows furrowing as he listened to Audrey's truthful and expected words.

"But, I have to thank you. If you hadn't gotten me pregnant I wouldn't have come to Hawaii to hide from my parents. If I hadn't come here then I never would have met Harry, or Louis, or Niall, or Zayn, or Liam or any of their friends and I would still be with you. These people taught me how to trust and love when I thought no one ever could. You made be believe that every fucking man was a selfish bastard and these five guys right here showed me otherwise...they love this child and I love this child more than you ever will or ever even could. And you, Zachary, don't get to be in his life because you don't deserve this child's love. You don't deserve to be the father because you don't get that tiny piece of hope. You don't get the joy of being a father because you walked out on us." Her tears had dried and a sense of bravery overtook her features.

Nothing could make me more proud of this woman right now. She's in the middle of having contractions and she is still dealing with Zachary's shit and standing up for herself.

"A little harsh don't you think?" Zachary muttered and she shakes her head in denial.

"No, I don't think. You have no idea how much I've wanted to say those things to you...no idea." I smile at Audrey, and sense the other boys' pride as well.

"Whatever. I don't need this shit. You'll probably be a fucking awful mother anyway, raising a bastard child with five dick head's at twenty years old. You're truly sad, Audrey. Truly fucking sad." Zachary seethes and she blinks at the asshole. Fucking maniac.

"Please leave...please." She whispered and he turns on his heel before storming out of the room. "Harry, are you alright?" She asks me and I furrow my eyebrows.

"I'm fine....boys can you give us a minute?" They each nod and shuffle out the room to leave Audrey and I alone.

"Harry." Her voice cracks. A plea for me to explain all of this to her. To help her through her unending pain.
"I'm sorry, Auds....I really am. I didn't want to cause a scene today...but he was just pissing me the fuck off and it had to be done." She doubles over in pain as another contraction takes over he body. God, this is torture. Watching her pain come and come again continuously. Her fingers dig into the back of my hand and all I can do is sit here and hope that after this baby is born things will be less chaotic.

"I can't do this..." She whispers. I run my thumb across the back of her hand, a sob tears through her throat the sound is heart breaking. Utterly heart breaking.

"Can't do what?" I ask, a trembling breath leaves her lips.

"Not today....I can't deal with Joseph or Zachary...not today. Too overwhelming and it makes it so much harder when you have contractions to deal with every ten minutes." I brush the backs of my knuckles over her cheek and she winces.

"He thinks it's okay...to hit you. He-he's done it before?" I ask and she shrugs, brushing it off like it's no big deal. "You stayed with him. After everything he did, you stayed with him. Why?" My voice dropped to a whisper.

"I don't even know, Harry. He could be really sweet when he wanted to be." She sniffs and wipes the tears off her cheeks.

"Okay...let's just act like he was never here." I suggest and she nods.

"Yes. Please." She mumbles and her gaze shifts to met mine. "Harry...what are things between us?"

"Audrey...I really want to just jump back into a relationship with you, and be with you. Like, I really really want to. But, I think we need to reestablish our bond. We haven't talked in months, Auds. We need to keep it light, for now. Just for a little while until things go back to normal. You have the baby and get settled and then we'll talk about a relationship." Audrey peered at me through her thick lashes, a small smile forming on her pinky lips.

"Okay...yeah. Harry, I've missed you. You have no idea how much I've been hurting without you." I brought her hand to my lips and kissed her knuckles.

"Yes I do. Because I've been hurting without you too."

~ Audrey's POV ~
*Two Hours Later*

"Where the hell is Deborah?" I yelled as my contraction died down.

"I don't know, but you're going to need to start pushing soon." Doctor Blue says and I groan.

"Not without Deborah. She's been gone for three fucking hours!" I raise my voice and the doctor sighs.

"Okay...for now you need to send the five boys out. Unless you want one of them to stay." He informs me and another contraction hits me.

"Harry! Harry! Stay with me!" I breath in through my nose and out of my mouth to calm myself.

"You heard the woman! Get over there!" Louis exclaims and Harry nervously makes his way over to me while the boys leave.

"Audrey! God, I'm sorry! I had lots of thinking to do an then I realized you were due really soon so I rushed over here and got to you in time, thank god. How are you?" Deborah exclaimed while a look of concern washed her features.

"I'm just fabulous! Certainly not about to push a baby out of a keyhole." I said sarcastically and she was on the other side of the bed in seconds.

"Audrey, are you ready to start pushing?" Doctor Blue asks, while stretching some gloves on.

"Yes! No! Fuck just get this baby out of me!" I demanded and Harry looked at me worriedly.

"Okay okay..." He kneeled in front of the bed, looking between my legs as I panted.

"Fuck, I can't do it. I can't do this. No. Get me out of here." My breathing was shallow as I shook my head repeatedly.

"Auds, it's okay. You've come this far and in the next thirty minutes you'll have you're baby. Just bear with me okay?" Harry ran a cool hand down my cheek and I nodded.

"Great...alright on the count of three you need to push. Just one big push." I nodded, my grip tightening on Harry and Deborah's hand.

"One...two...three!" I pushed, with everything I had in me. Fire scorched my body, a burning feel covering me whole as if someone had set a match to my skin.

I screamed out in agony as I pushed for the second time. Dr. Blue complimented me and asked me to continue my pushes. I dug my nails into the back of Harry's hand and he encouraged me through the pain.

God. It felt like I was on fire. I screamed, as my eyes screwed shut.

A thrill of energy rose up in the room, a cheer of encouragement. "You're almost there, Audrey. Give me one more big push," Dr. Blue coaxed. Sweat drenched my forehead, soaked my hair. I clenched the two hands at my side as I bore down and cried out.

For a moment, there was silence as my son slipped into Dr. Blue's hands. Time seemed to stop as I watched the frantic movements that had slowed in my mind, the doctor held him in a blue blanket, one hand at the back of his neck as he almost tipped him upside down, the other suctioning out his mouth and nose.

Blood wrapped him, covered him completely, this little boy that already held my heart. My vision blurred. Then he cried. These shrill, shocked cries that welcomed him into this world, another blanket was tossed on my belly, and they set him on his side, the two nurses roughing it over his tiny body.

And he was crying. The precious sound rattled through the room as his little arms and legs flailed. Shaking uncontrollably, I reached for him, palmed his head with an unsteady hand. He reacted, tilting against my hand as if seeking me out, a stutter in his cries as his mouth twisted at the side because this child already knew me.

I wept, tears of relief and tears of joy, a torrent of emotion spilling from my mouth. Harry smoothed my hair back that was drenched with sweat, he dropped his forehead to mine. "You did it."

I pulled the baby to me, my nose pressed softly to the top of his head as tears spilled down my cheeks.
"He's beautiful...just like his mommy." Deborah said and ran her knuckles across his cheek. I want to say something but the words just don't come.

///

"Oh my god! He's so cute!" Niall gushed as he rocked my child in his arms.

"I bet you're tired." Zayn chuckles and I nod.

"Giving birth isn't as easy as it looks." I say and he laughs.

"We're proud of you, Audrey. Nova is finally here! What are you gonna name him?" Louis asks and I look at my sleeping child in Niall's arms.

"I dunno." I shrug. "You guys name him."

"Oh no no no! That's too much pressure!" Niall says and hands the child back to me.

"God, Niall chill out! I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about all of you. Pick a name...." I clarify and look at the sleeping boy in my arms.

"Ashton."

"Drizzle."

"Christian."

"Dylan."

"Timothy." The suggestions are thrown at me repeatedly and I laugh.

"I like Timothy." I say and Harry smiles.

"That was my idea." I laugh and glance at the baby.

"Yeah...Timothy! I like it." I smile widely and Liam puts his arms out, asking permission to hold him. I hand him the baby and he looks at him intently.

"Timothy's perfect." Liam says and I nod.

"Timothy!" Louis exclaims and I smile, as I look at Harry who is grinning at me.

"What?" I ask.

"I'm just really proud of you, Auds."
