*Elena's POV*

Jane and Louis are watching Leo lovingly, as he gets cleaned up. He's currently getting his footprints done.

He's such a gorgeous boy.

He looks just like his Dad. Louis should be happy about that. While everything is watching and admiring Leo,

I'm alone with Harry, who refuses to leave my side.

"You can go see Leo, Harry," I tell him.

"No. I'll see him later. I'm not leaving your side," Harry says.

Fine. I can't argue with that. I hold Harry's hand, as he gently strokes mine with his thumb.

The sound of Leo, screaming, echoes through the room. He's definitely got a set of lungs on him. Duh, they gave me steroids for that. I look across the room.

Jane and Louis are hugging each other so passionately. Looks like they won't be letting go anytime soon.

"I'm glad I could make them happy," I say to Harry.

"But, what about your happiness. I'm pretty sure the first pregnancy you wish it was yours," Harry says looking at me worried.

He has a point I suppose.

"I know. I know. My turn will come though. I'll have my own baby one day,".

Harry is looking at me more worried then before.

My eyes begin to water and overflow. Tears gently trickle down my cheeks. I wipe them off.

"Those aren't happy tears, Elena," Harry says.

"I know Harry. It's because their not," I admit.

"What's wrong!?" Harry asks holding both my hands.

"Now is not the best time to tell you. I'll tell you when Jane and Louis go," I tell him.

"I have a feeling I know what it is," Harry says.

"Then please don't mention it right now," I say.

I'm getting quite emotional now. Tears stream down my face.

I don't want baby Lee to go. He's been inside me for 9months.

He can't leave me now. I'm feeling so empty inside now. I knew I'd get attached.

I keep saying to myself 'Elena, it's Louis' and Jane's. Leo is 100% not mine,'.

But no matter how many times I tell myself that, I still want to keep him. I really thought I wouldn't get attached. The more I think of it, the more the tears come down.

Harry is staring at me like a worried puppy.

The nurse folds Leo up, like a little Taco.

"Here you go Miss Edwards ," the Nurse says handing me Leo.

I hold Leo gently and look at him.
