Changing My Life

Amy's POV
Being pregnant is not joy. Number one you pee a lot, number two you eat a lot number three you whine a lot. I pity the guys because they have to deal with my moods. Freddie and Emily are never effected, I'm always happy around them. I just want Thomas out already.
I'm 9 months and still pregnant. Ugh, I thought he would come early or something but nooooo.
Liam is an angel. He cuddles with me, lets me eat the whole fridge, lets me cry on his shoulder and carries me to the toilet to pee. He's so caring.
I'm currently on the sofa watching reruns of The Vampire Diaries, crying every time someone dies or someone starts to date or even kiss. I'm literally a mess. I swear Freddie as a baby was nothing like how I'm acting right now.
I got up to pee again and then took a long relaxing bath. Everyone was at the studio except for Liam who was sleeping. Poor guy has been dealing with me and that is HARD. I sometimes annoy my own self. How is that possible ?
Any way I got out of the bath and put on my robe and grabbed a tub of Ben and Jerry's and ate it while watching their old video Diaries. I almost choked to Louis's famous 'SUPERMANNNNN' or 'NO JIMMY PROTESTED' or my personal favorite 'SHE'S MINE'. I watched them till like 4pm. Liam woke up and the boys came back. I was playing soldiers with Freddie or whatever I guess it's like playing dolls with girls but it's soldiers anyway when my phone rang so I picked it up.
"Hello."
"Hello Mrs.Payne it's Doctor Turner. How are you ?"
"Oh hi, I'm good how are you ?"
"I'm doing well thank you, anyways I called because I have to ask you some questions because you were suppose to give birth like a week ago."
"Okay, should I be worried ?" I asked panic visible in my voice. Liam noticed and joined me.
"Well let's see, do you pee a lot ?"
"Yes like a hundred times a day."
"Okay, are your feet swollen or your hands ?" I looked at them and Liam checked my feet since I can't see them with my stomach, he shook his head no.
"Uh not really no"
"Okay, rest as much as possible. You should be fine."
"Uh, should I be worried that he hasn't come yet, or be induced or -"
"Breath, your'e fine. He'll come when he's ready."
"I'm really anxious and scared to give birth and this wait is making it worse." I started shaking and Liam was calming me down.
"Don't worry he'll come soon I promise and you'll be fine. I will guide you through it."
"Thanks a lot doctor Turner, see you soon I hope."
"You're welcome, call me if you're in labor. Breath and stay calm you should be fine."
"Thanks, have a nice day." We ended the call and me being an emotional train of hormones started crying. Liam managed to calm me down after 2 hours. Damn I was a mess.
We ate dinner and then I took Freddie for a bath, best I could with my huge bump. Liam helped me up the stairs and I put Freddie to bed after reading him a story.
"Bye Thomas I'll see you tomorrow." I gave him a weird look, him and his belly talk. I kissed him goodnight and went to bed myself. Emily insisted on sleeping with me saying she wants a cuddle, I just shrugged and let her because I love cuddling with her.
Dream
"Aren't you excited mommy ?"
"Yes very, I can't wait for tomorrow." I hugged Emily tightly and then we squealed excitedly.
"I can't wait to see the look on Freddie's face when he meets him and when daddy sings him to sleep."
"Oh yes, I can't wait to hold him. Do you think he'll look anything like me Em ?"
"Yes like you and daddy. I can't wait for you to be happy mommy."
"Thanks Em ."
" But remember Thomas needs you whatever you do don't let go." I sighed.
"Promise me mommy."
"Alright I promise."
"Mommy you have to get up, it's time" I gave her a confused look.
"Time for what ?"
"Wake up. WAKE UP."
End of Dream.
"Wake up mommy, you peed again!" Emily screamed.
I jolted awake panting, Liam was sleeping next to us. It was 9am. I was thinking of my dream. It was really confusing. I rubbed my belly and then my eyes widened because I peed myself. UGH. Wait a minute I don't pee this much to soak trough the sheets.
"Oh my goodness Em, he's coming" I said and she screamed with happiness yet Liam still laid asleep. Geez.
"Liam, Li ?" He stirred.
"Yeah babe."
"My water broke" He hummed and then jolted up. It was really funny. I found myself laughing along with Emily. Why was I laughing ? Damn hormones better than crying or panicking. I grabbed my phone while Liam got dressed and called doctor Turner.
"Hey, my water broke. We'll be there in 15 hopefully" She told me she'd meet me outside with a wheelchair and we hung up.
I got dressed best I could and Liam helped me up.
"Wow you're happy today."
"Good dream, plus hormones." He laughed and we made our way downstairs.
"BOYS I'M IN LABOR BYE." I screamed and heard 3 loud thuds and then running feet.
"I told you I'll see you tomowwow Thomas." Freddie said kissing my belly. I smiled at him and ruffled his hair while the boys ran around the house like mad men.
"Let's go get Thomas" Niall exclaimed and Emily squealed for the billionth time this morning, we laughed and got in the car.
Within 15 minutes we got there. As promised doctor Turner was waiting outside with a wheelchair.
"Hey there, ready to meet him ?"
"Yeah." She wheeled me to a room and everyone stayed outside while she hooked me to a machine and stuff and checked how dilated I am.
"You are 3 centimeters, you won't deliver till later or maybe even tomorrow, we don't know depends on how fast you dilate."
"Okay thanks." the doctor left and I turned to the 4 grinning idiots who came rushing through the door when the doctor told them to come in.
"What ?"
"You seem happy." Louis chirped.
"I am actually, I wanna see him so bad." I smiled rubbing my belly. "We all do"
"Uh, did someone bring the baby bag ?" I asked and everyone raised their empty hands and I sighed.
"Well I can't get it because I'm cuffed to this thing." I joked and everyone laughed. Wow I was in a really good mood. Harry volunteered to go get it while Niall went to get all of us lunch. Freddie was sitting on my bed talking to my stomach and excitedly squealing with Emily as usual while Liam and I were chatting. Louis was calling Danielle.
"Are you gonna cut the cord ?"
"Yeah."
"You hold him first and then I hold him because then they go clean him up."
"He's gonna be so cute."
"Just like you, I bet he's going to be exactly like you." We smiled and watched as Emily and Freddie talked to Thomas.
4 hours later we had eaten lunch and I was 6 centimeters dilated he said that I would give birth soon. I was chatting with Liam who was laying on the bed next to me when a sharp pain made me grab his hand and squeeze it to death. I groaned in pain and Liam tried to calm me down but the pain was 10 times worst than period cramps. After it passed I breathed heavily and started shaking.
"Am, you can do it. You're strong I know you are." He said in a calm voice.
"I-I don't think I can Li. That was hell and it will get worst." I started crying and the doctors came in. Liam explained that I had a contraction and they wrote some stuff down.
"Would you like the epidural ?" Someone asked, I don't know who. I was too scared to do this to focus. I nodded yes and the doctors left.
"I'm sorry Li, I have to have it."
"It's okay baby, I don't like seeing you in pain." He hugged me and I cried on his shirt. The doctors took forever to come and by then I had 4 more contractions each one getting worse by time. I was a crying mess, Liam's hand was purple from all the pressure I was putting to it. They gave me the epidural and I calmed down.
"Li give me your hand." I said worried.
"Here, are you in pain ? Your'e not suppose to." He said worrying.
"No, I wanna see what I did." I examined it. "Li, I'm sorry but it hurt so bad."
"Hey, hey. It's okay, it's the least of my worries right now. You are feeling a heck lot more worse than me. Don't worry about me okay." He kissed my forehead and I cried myself to sleep. Louis had to take Freddie home. Niall and Harry left as well with Emily because I didn't want the kids to see me in pain nor was I in a mood to have anyone here except for Liam. Liam had called his parents to inform them along with Ashley and some people.
When I woke up from a dreamless slumber a pain shot through my lower abdomen and I clutched my stomach groaning in pain. Liam was asleep on a chair next to me and woke up from me screaming in pain. He gave me his hand but I refused it, I don't want guilt for hurting him right now. When the pain eased I took deep breaths and laid down getting somewhat comfortable.
"Why didn't you take my hand ?"
"I don't want to hurt you, I managed don't worry."
"No I wanna help as much as I can, please let me help you"
"By hurting yourself, no Li."
"Amy, I couldn't care less if you chopped my hand out when I see you like that it hurts please let me help you." I cried more seeing him like this. Doctors came in and checked me again. He said I was 9 centimeters and that I will soon push. Liam informed everyone and I told him to make them stay outside because I don't want to see anyone at the moment. I was a mess and not in the mood for people. Liam agreed and told them when he called them.
An hour later along with 10 more bloody contractions I was ready to push. My legs were held by Liam and the other by a kind nurse. I took a deep breath and started pushing when the contraction hit. It hurt like, I don't even know how to describe it. It was excruciating pain. It felt like someone was cutting through me. I could feel Thomas though and that gave me a slight relief and excitement but nothing could ease the pain.
"Keep going, your'e doing great."
3 pushes later.
"I can see the head, keep going." Thank gad.
2 pushes later.
I felt his shoulders come out and then the doctor pulled him out. I felt relieved.
"It's a boy." I cried tears of joy, Liam cut the cord and put him in a blanket while he held him in his arms.
"Hello Thomas, welcome to the world." Liam cooed, he looked in awe at him. I smiled closing my eyes feeling very tired.
"Get them out of here, stat. She's loosing a lot of blood."
"What ? Amy stay with me please don't let go." That's all I heard before I blacked out.
---------
"Mommy, you promised not to let go for Thomas." Emily screamed at me.
"Huh ?"
"Wake up please, for me, Thomas and daddy."
She shook me multiple times I was so confused.
"They need you." I panicked.
" EMILY !!LIAM !! THOMAS !!"
--------
When I woke up a doctor was next to me and I jolted up.
"Where's Liam and Thomas ?" I tried getting out but he pushed me down.
"Calm down ma'am. I'll get your husband."
"What happened how long was I out ?"
"You lost a lot of blood. We almost lost you, but your'e fine now. It's been 2 hours."
I sighed and he went to get Liam. After a while Liam came in almost breaking down the door, he hugged me tight and kept mumbling but I couldn't understand.
"Li calm down I'm fine." He pulled away and as I was gonna catch my breath he crashed his lips to mine.
"Don't EVER scare me like that again." I nodded and kissed him again.
"Where's Thomas, I wanna hold him."
"He's getting weighed and stuff."
"Can you grab me the bag ? I want to dress him up." He laughed and got me the bag.
"Am, he's been born 2 hours ago, don't break him please." I laughed and shook my head.
I picked out a cute blue onesie that said 'Daddy's cowboy and mommy's prince'. I laid out diapers and stuff basically unloaded the whole bag. Liam sat next to me as we went through the stuff.
"How are you feeling ?"
"My chest hurts and I can't feel my legs." He laughed.
"Are you going to breast feed ?" I shrugged.
"I'll try I guess but they hurt really bad." I whined and put my head on his shoulder.
A nurse came in and told me it's because I need to pump. She helped me to the bathroom and I pumped 2 bottles and felt better. I walked out after cleaning myself up and got back to bed. Soon enough a nurse came in with a small incubator. We smiled at her and she left. Liam picked up Thomas and gave him to me.
"Hi." That's all I got out before I started crying. He grabbed my nose and I kissed his tiny hand and his forehead. He's so perfect. Liam took a picture.
"He hasn't opened his eyes yet, he will soon and I want him to see us first." I smiled and Liam sat back next to me. I dressed him up in the onesie and put on his diaper and cleared away the stuff back in the bag, I cuddled up to Liam with Thomas in my hands and we just stared at him.
"He's perfect Li." I smiled and kissed his little nose. He squirmed in my hands and let out a small cry. I shushed him and we sang Little Things to him. I sang it to him every time when I was pregnant and he used to stop kicking me when I did. He calmed down and opened his eyes. We smiled widely at the sight of our son seeing us for the first time. He touched my lips with his little hands. I kissed his hand and smiled with tears in my eyes.
"Hi, baby I'm your momma and this is your dadda." He smiled up at us at the sound of our voices.
"Hi" Liam said and we kissed.
"I think you should meet your sister and uncles and your best friend and grandparents and aunts" I said laughing. Liam got up and came back with Emily Louis, Danielle and Freddie.
"Is he here ? Is he here ?" I smiled at Emily's innocence and waved her in. She came inside grinning widely as she climbed on my bed and took a look. "He's so cute".
"Be careful Freddie, he's really small" Louis said sternly. I smiled at them and Freddie climbed next to me. While Louis and Danielle came to take a look, Louis was recording.
"Hi Thomas, it's nice to see you." We awed as he kissed his head.
"Your'e so littwle how he gonna pway with me ?" He said to me.
"Not yet silly when he grows up a bit more." We laughed and Freddie frowned a little but then smiled down at Thomas. I sat him up a bit and gave him Thomas gently. We took loads of pictures. Then Louis and Danielle held him. Danielle will soon give birth and I can't wait.
They left and Niall and Harry came in but Freddie and Emily stayed. That kid won't leave his side.
"Mini Liamy." Harry said and I laughed they held him and we took pictures.
"He's so cute Ams." Niall said. I smiled at him.
Karen and Geoff came in and did the same.
"Oh Amy, you did so well sweetie." I smiled as they held him and took pictures.
"Thanks mom." We hugged and then Ruth and Nicola came in and even Ashley. They squealed at the site of Thomas and fan girled about stuff. It was so weird. When they took pictures Simon came in.
"Oh Amy, Congratulations. I'm proud of you both." I smiled and hugged him while he held Thomas.
"Thanks Si, you helped me become who I am today." He smiled and after a while left. Freddie threw a tantrum when he had to leave but I promised him he could come again tomorrow and after a while obeyed. Emily left with them as well after taking like a billion pictures with him.
First night at the hospital we experienced breast feeding and first diaper and first bath and stuff. I forgot how exhausted I was until I realized it's 4 am.
We slept for a while and then a lady came in, in the morning and we signed the birth certificate. At noon we signed the release papers for me and at 4pm Thomas was released as well. We left the hospital and drove home. We were so happy.
When we got home there was a huge 'Welcome home Thomas' sign in the living room and presents. It was just the boys and Liam's family. We opened the presents and gave Thomas a cute bunny that me and Liam bought him. He wanted to eat it but he wants to eat everything so. We all ate dinner and I breast fed Thomas in my room. After everyone left it was 8. Me and Liam put Thomas to bed in his crib then tucked Emily in and we went to get some sleep before he wakes up for his night feed.
That night we slept happily knowing our son Thomas Alexander Payne was born September 4th at 10pm. I guess he was my birthday present. I'm just glad that my life has changed for the better and having a family is all I could ask for.
