I am finally safe and sound in the hospital. I don't remember much of the birth but I know she. YES SHE! is healthy and they are getting her from the nursery now.

I sit here with El, Soph, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn. My parents have gone down to London but I have called them and are on their way back.

The room is silent, but a nice comfortable silence.


Then the moment has arrived. I see Harry walk in with Anne, cradling our beautiful baby girl. "Time to say hi to mummy." She kisses her tiny forehead and passes her to me carefully.

I hold my beautiful bay girl in my arms and just admire her. I can't believe it she is here. Harry and I are parents. I can hear people's reaction around us and complimenting her.

"Wow she's so tiny." Niall grabs her little leg. I start to cry, dam hormones. "Bridget you ok?"Harry takes my had as he sits lefts side of the bed on a chair. "all good." I keep looking at her.

"have you thought a name love?" Harry asks me. I scoot over in the bed and allow Harry with us. My mind thinks.


"I don't know yet." I tap her little nose.

"Louise has a nice ring to it." Louis says and we lightly chuckle.

"How about India." harry says referring back to the old piano later in the church we got married.

"It's perfect. India Styles." I smile.



"Hey everyone." We can see Perrie on Zayn's phone via FaceTime.

"Perrie Edwards meet, India Styles." I show India best as I can so Perrie can see.

"She's so tiny." Perrie smiles on the other end of the screen.

"I gotta go, my taxi is here." She says we all say goodbye. "Love you all." She blows us a kiss.

"We might get going" Sophia says and comes around to hold India one last time, then Liam does the same.

"can we come tomorrow." She asks and I happily nod. "See you then love." Liam passes her back to Harry.

"We might go too." Louis and El, Zayn and Niall say their goodbyes.



"How you feeling baby?" Harry plays with my hair as we lay down on the bed together. India is back at the nursery. "a bit sore and tired."

"Well you did almost give birth at a music festival." He laughs.

"Harry I need you to promise me something." He shuffle his head so he looks at me. "Anything"
"If something was to happen to me, promise me you will look after her and give India the best life possible" I say with a tear rolling down my eye.

"Bridget, please don't talk like that." He strokes my cheek. "No Harry, I nearly died out there lucky the ambulance came when they did or god knows what could have happened." It really has put things into perspective.

"Bridget you and I are going to give our baby girl the best possible life we can. Together, always and forever." He pecks my lips, and I drop this very touchy subject.

---

"Because Harry we don't need godparents." I say as I clean up India's room that is at my parents house where we all live now.

"Why not.?"

"Because we have all our friends and our parents. No labels needed."

"I think India needs a set of people who will look out for her and teach her things we can't."

"Ok fine who do you suggest??" I ask him crossing my arms.


"Ummm." He takes his time. "Exactly we don't need any. We have our friends that's enough." I walk out of the room.


"Bridget please for me." He follows me into the kitchen.

"What do you mean for you Harry" I fill the kettle with some water, then let it boil. He makes no sense. "I'm going to go for a walk." He runs a hand through his hair. Ok then.




"Sleep tight princess." I tuck India in her cot and kiss her forehead.

Nothing can come between
You & I

I Sing softly as her little green eyes flutter off to sleep.

I take the baby monitor and sit on the couch and flick through a magazine.

About another five minutes I see the front door unlock and Harry appears back from his walk. I look up at him then back to my magazine.

"Where's India?" He asks as he takes a seat next to me. "I just put her down." I avoid eye contact with him. "Look I'm sorry about the whole situation before" He huffs. "It's whatever." I bluntly reply.

"Bridget don't be like that." I don't respond.

"Did you hear her crying last night?" He diverts the subject back ti India.
"Of course I did I got up four times, to check on her" I put the magazine down on the table in front of me.

"Well I got up the other times." He raises his voice and stands up. So I stand up. "Can you please keep it down India is sleeping." I slightly raise my voice.

"Your the one yelling now."He acts childish. Then I hear her cries.

"Good one Harry, you woke her up." I take the monitor. "Whatever I'm going to the gym" He yells.

"Yea it's nice for some people to get away."I yell back and head to the nursery. I am so mad right now but I will not take it out on my daughter.

"Hey honey, mummy's here" I pick her up and hold her letting her small head rest on my shoulder.

I sit on the rocking chair as she still cries. I tap her back I try to calm her but it's not working.
"Shh come on baby." I reach for my phone keeping my balance and try and call Harry, but his being stubborn and not answering.

"I know, I know daddy will be home soon." I lay her back down and rub her little stomach.



I am laying on the couch it has been an hour and his still not back. I try and call him once again. "What." He snaps "Where have you been?" I hold the phone to my ear and shoulder and pick up India who is still crying.

"Gym. I'm coming now."

Seconds later I hear the front door open and I go to the living room and see him dump his bag on the floor. He takes India from me and automatically her crying eases. "Hey princess why you crying.?" He taps her back.

I sit on the couch and throw the pillow on the floor out of frustration. "I might take her to Liam's all the boys are there."

"NO harry." I snap.
"What why"

"Because she is not a toy you can pass around." I go to take her but he backs away.

"Oh I'm sorry if my memory can recall you wanted to almost give this toy up!."

I swear to god if he wasn't holding her I would have smashed him to the ground now.


"Really you wanna throw that in my face." I try not yell too much, I don't want to scare her.

"Well you made decisions without me. I can't make a simple on as godparents for her."

"My god Harry. You want godparents, go then pick some godparents." I run a hand through my hair and go to my room and slam the door.


I am so tired I gave birth only three weeks ago I have been up day and night feeding, burping, changing India I haven't had a good night sleep in god knows since when. Harry he gets an escape he goes to school or the gym he is making my blood boil right now, but to throw the adoption in my face is really low.
