Chapter Sixteen: It takes two

"Move and I'll shoot you too." harry gritted out.

Zayn stood there trembling, terrified to move. He kept glancing over at Louis who sat slumped over in the chair, blood started to pool to the floor. "But he needs help!" Zayn said, trying to reason with Harry.

Harry glanced at Louis then back at Zayn and shook his head. "Nope, not falling for it." Harry said as Zayn's face began to scrunch in pain. His contractions were starting and he knew they would only get closer and closer together.

"Harry, You either put the gun down and call an ambulance for both of us, or you are going to have to deliver this baby yourself." Zayn said as he got a second contraction that almost brought him to his knees. Harry adjusted the gun so that when Zayn moved due to the contraction, Harry still had a good shot.

Zayn couldn't stay on his feet for long and he fell to his knees and almost curled into a ball on the floor when he got his third contraction. Harry watched him carefully but didn't move the gun for a better aim.

Harry sighed and after five minutes, sat the gun down and went to Zayn's side. Zayn pushed him back almost immediately and cried again in pain. Harry then reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone and called for an ambulance. The operator told him it would be about half an hour before they got there. "Half an hour?" Harry asked with a hint of frustration.

"This baby will be here in half an hour!" Zayn yelled so loud that the operator on the phone that was only a couple feet from Harry's ear, heard.

Harry hung the phone up and sat it down beside him. "I'm s-sorry. I shouldn't have shot him." Harry said sounding genuinely remorseful. Zayn just looked up at him with disdain.

Suddenly the front door of the daycare opened and in walked hellen. At first she didn't see the chaos that had just unfolded but after a few moments, she saw something that pulled her attention to the three men. "Zayn?" She asked, not sure what was going on because the lights were off but only a few lights in the building remained on.

"Hellen!" Zayn excalimed, "Be careful he has a gun!" Zayn added, warning her of what she was walking into.

"I'm not going to shoot." Harry said with regret all over his voice.

Hellen reached for the light switch and flicked it on. "Oh my word!" She said instinctively covered her mouth. She then quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone and Harry stopped her.

"I've already called an ambulance, they're on their way but it'll take 30 minutes." Harry said, now in the verge of tears. "And my waters broken." Zayn said and cried out in pain as another contraction washed through him.

"Okay." Hellen said and then helped get Zayn into a position to start pushing. she helped him get his trousers off and his underwear. In that vulnerable moment Zayn didn't even care that Harry was able to see his privates.

Harry asked Hellen if there was anything he could do to help. "Yes, go get some towels and some warm water." Hellen said. Zayn told Harry where they were at as he stood up. Harry nodded and took off to get the towels.

"I need to push." Zayn said through gritted teeth.

"You're not fully dilated yet." She said, "After two more contractions okay." she added.

Harry came rushing back with the towels and then took off for the water. Harry had brought back every towel the center owned which was over 30 towels. Hellen helped him through the first of two contractions he would have to endure before he could push. Harry arrived with the water as Zayn was in the middle of the second contraction.

"Uh, ma'am, I see something down there." Harry said as he slowly knelt down by Hellen's side with the water.

"That's the baby's head. He's crowning." Hellen said softly as if they were experiencing a miracle first hand. To Harry it was, because he had never seen the miracle of child birth before.

"Okay Zayn, you can push on the next contraction." Hellen told Zayn, who nodded and grabbed his shins and pulled his knees towards his chest and bared down to push. The head that Harry was watching appear came out quickly and then he watched Hellen scoop her finger into the baby's mouth to clear the airway.

Harry looked back up at Zayn who was catching his breath before the next contraction. Harry felt the overwhelming thought to look over at Louis who was pale and lifeless in the chair. Harry knew that Louis didn't have much time left, if any at all. He also knew that if Louis died, he would go to jail for the rest of his life.

Zayn's groan broke Harry from his thoughts and brought his attention back to the baby that was coming into the world. The shoulders were making their way out with Hellen's assistance. "Grab a towel Harry and open it so I can wrap the baby in it." Hellen told Harry who scrambled and fumbled to get a towel open in time.

Harry managed to get the towel open and moments later, the baby came out. Harry didn't know why the baby was covered in some sort of goo. Just then Hellen smacked the baby on the back.

"W-what are you doing you'll hurt it." Harry said panicked and ready to reach over and stop her hand from doing it again. "This helps get air into the baby's lungs. I'll know it helped when they let out their first cry." Hellen said and smacked the baby's back a second time, which resulted in the baby crying out and started the baby's continuous cries.

Harry sighed a visible sigh of relief but was shocked when Hellen laid the baby in the towel that was in Harry's arms. Harry looked down at the baby who was crying softer now and just looked so tiny. He was in awe of this little baby.

Hellen got up with a little struggle due to her age and grabbed scissors of the desk. "You didn't say you needed scissors." Harry said softly as he watched Hellen sit back down and then reach for the umbilical cord. "What are you going to do with those?" Harry asked.

"It's very important to cut the umbilical cord as soon as possible after the baby arrives." Hellen said. Hellen had been a nurse on the labour and delivery ward for nearly 30 years. This was information Zayn knew since he worked so closely with Hellen.

Harry looked the baby over and noticed it was a boy. "A boy." he said tearing up.

"What?" Zayn asked half asleep. "The doctor said it was supposed to be a girl." He added.

"Well I know what a penis looks like and this baby definitely has one." Harry said chuckling a little as the red and blue lights of a police car started flooding the room. The sounds of a police car and an ambulance started filling the room and that made the baby cry.

Within minutes, a few men rushed into the center and over to them. One medic started checking Louis over and moments later yelled, "Got a pulse!" to which Harry again sighed.

A second medic radioed that they'd need another ambulance rushed over right away before kneeling down to check Zayn's vitals. The man checked Zayn over and asked if the after birth had came out yet and she replied with a no.

"After birth? What's that?" Harry asked. Hellen chuckled a little at the lack of knowledge Harry had about babies and pregnancy but only because she was so use to people around her knowing what was going on.

"After birth is the sac that holds the baby. It comes out of the mum after the baby or babies arrive if the mum is having multiples." Hellen said. "But a second baby could take hours to arrive after the first if there is multiples." She added. Harry nodded and looked back down at the baby in his arms that was fast asleep.

It seemed like hours that Harry sat there by Hellen. Louis had been rushed off to the hospital just minutes after the medic found a pulse. Harry was holding the little baby boy's tiny hand with his finger and was oblivious to the fact that Hellen had delivered the after birth and was now helping a second baby come into the world.

Harry looked over after a few minutes of pushing and realized that instead of a head between Zayn's legs, there was another set of legs. "What's happening?" Harry asked.

"The twin is breach, which is very dangerous." The medic said who then told Hellen to move and he stepped in to assist. Harry felt something inside himself that was uncomfortable with having this strange man look at Zayn's privates. He said nothing because he knew this man was a medical professional and could help.

In that moment, Harry had so many questions but he knew now wasn't the time to ask. He moved out of the way and held the baby boy close to his chest. Zayn was trying to stay awake and push the baby out. Harry felt the need to hold his hand and help him through this.

The medic helped the second baby out and luckily the afterbirth came out seconds later. "It's a girl." The medic said and Zayn smiled. The medic cut the cord and handed the baby to Hellen who was waiting with a towel in her arms.

The second ambulance showed up and the three medics helped get Zayn and the babies onto the gurney and into the ambulance. Before they were out of the building, the police officers walked over to Zayn to ask what had happened.

Zayn looked at Harry and then at the Police officers.
