"Evie just try and relax baby, its gonna be fine"
"YOU WANNA SWAP PLACES MEDDOWS?! YOU WANNA PUSH THIS BABY OUT?" I yelled back my sweating grip tightening around Rogers large hand. I heard a nearby nurse giggle and I couldn't help a small smirk creep to my lips as I saw Roger trying to think of an acceptable response
"Okay honey, you're nearly there. A few more pushes" the midwife smiled up at me
"Good god Evelyn you look awful" Freddie had peaked his head around the door.
"Fred you're lucky I'm pushing a child out of me or I'd come over and kick your ass right now" I growled
"Feisty, I like it Evelyn. Roger is a lucky man" he laughed back, before being dragged out of the room by 3 nurses as he frantically snapped some photos on a disposable camera.
"Okay Evie last push, let's go" I could feel the sweat pouring down my brow as I pushed as hard as possible in one final attempt to get this damn kid out of me. Suddenly the pressure was relieved and I heard a few cries
"Oh my god baby, you did it!" Roger leant down peppering my forehead with kisses, I was still breathless and couldn't let go of Roger's hand.
"Congratulations you two, here is your beautiful baby girl" I gasped and I watched Roger's eyes light up as a warm, tiny bundle of blankets was placed into my arms. A tear trickled down my cheek and I heard Roger sniffling above me. I laughed a little and whispered
"She's beautiful" Roger kissed me on the forehead and reached out a finger as our little girl curled her tiny hand around his single finger. Roger looked at me, his face beaming in a state of pure happiness.
"I love you and I love you" he said addressing the both of us. I cried as I looked at the both of them my heart shattering with unbelievable amounts of love.
"Welcome to the world baby Flo"
---------------------------------------------------------
"You called her what?" Vanity screamed from the outside the delivery room
"Florence Ziggy Taylor-Lily" Roger stated plainly
"OH MY GOD I LOVE IT, NOW LET ME SEE MY BEAUTIFUL GOD DAUGHTER!" Freddie ran dramatically into the delivery room, quickly followed by our excessive entourage of closest friends. I was still lying with baby Flo in my arms unable to wipe the permanent smile from my face.
"Bri, Chris, john, holly, Fred, Jim, V, Katy" I smiled "I want you to meet Florence" in that moment all seemed to pause in the world as Florence opened her beautiful piercing blue eyes, her long lashes batting at the adoring crowd
"Oh we said they'd be beautiful, but I didn't realise THIS beautiful" Holly smiled
"We did good baby" Roger grinned at me, gently kissing my forehead.
"I love you Meddows" I said leaning up to kiss him.
"I love you Ziggy" I smiled down at little baby Flo.

"EVIE CALM DOWN"
"I AM CALM"
"YOU'RE NOT CALM, YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED"
"I know, I cant believe it Vanity"
"Well you look beautiful, everyone is already at the church. We gotta go Evie"Â Holly said sipping on her 3rd glass of champagne
"Okay lets go, Roger sent you a Rolls you're dad can't stop staring at it" Vanity laughed, We all stepped out of my parents house. We were getting married in the most beautiful church in my local village, it was where I had always dreamed I would get married when I was younger and now I was with the man of my dreams and the most beautiful baby girl. On top of that I have one of the most successful fashion lines by a British designer and therefore I got to design my own wedding dress, with the help of Vanity of course. Roger had looked after baby Flow whilst Vanity and I spent way too much time in my studio. We had moved out of the apartment, beautiful as it was we wanted to raise little Ziggy somewhere with a garden. Roger has bought one of the biggest houses in London, he still won't tell me how much he payed for it.
He and Ziggy and adorable together, her little face always breaks out into the cutest smile as she sees him. She is so lucky to have his beautiful blue eyes and insane eyelashes. Although I am a little bias, she is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and I love her more and more every day. Roger plays with her all the time, he has even bought her a mini drum kit, though she can barely wrap her tiny fingers around the sticks he cheers with joy every time she bashes tunelessly on it. He loves me, I still can't quite believe it, he wants to spend his life with me. I am going to be Mrs Lily-Taylor I still cant wrap my head around it. EVERYONE always said he would be unfaithful, he never was and I'd trust him with my life so I know he never will be. He keeps pushing me to get a dog, he is desperate for Ziggy to grow up with one I wont admit it but he is slowly wearing me down.
"Okay, okay let's go" I smile, my hands trembling a little as i pick up my dress. The church is only a short drive away and as soon as we arrive my breath hitches. It was even more beautiful than I had pictured. In the new spring flowers were blossoming in the afternoon sun. I couldn't help but smile, everything was picture perfect. There was an area of paparazzi that luckily were under control but went insane as I stepped out of the car. I smiled and answered a few questions before linking arms with my dad
"Are you ready birdie?" My dad said, already tearing up
"I'm ready" I smiled back as we walked toward the church that was elegantly decorated. As soon as we entered a beautiful guitar version of "here comes the bride" was played by a grinning Brian. Roger stood at the end of the isle looking incredibly nervous, it was very unlike him. I smiled at him as he looked back lovingly. Freddie sat in the front row with ziggy on his lap, george and jim on either side. She was smiling happily as he held one of her tiny hands in his. It was picture perfect I genuinely couldn't have imagined a more beautiful wedding
As we got to the end of the isle my dad kissed my cheek and I stood infront of a grinning Roger
"You look beautiful Evie" he smiled
"you dont look too bad yourself meddows" I winked causing him to laugh. He smiled and took my hands in his, John had got ordained in order to marry Roger and I (Rog thought he would be the safest option as he usually could control his level of raunchy jokes longest)
He spoke beautifully eveyone was laughing and crying all at the same time, I wouldn't have had it any other way. Baby Ziggy even managed to not cry, considering how many nights she had kept Roger and I awake it was very impressive.
"Do you Evelyn Dove Lily take Roger Meddows Taylor to be your lawfully wedded husband?" John smiled
"I do" I grinned back at Rog, tears coming to my eyes.
"And do you, Roger Meddows Taylor take Evelyn Dove Lily to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
Roger grinned at me "oh yeah, I do"
"You may now kiss the bride" John smiled. Roger swooped me into a loving kiss and our guests erupted into a series of whoops and yells.
"IM MARRIED" Roger shouted causing everyone to laugh.
The wedding after party was so incredibly fun, it was one of the most memorable nights of my life. It was lined with A list celebrities and had eveyone we loved there, Vouge even wanted to do an issue surrounding the wedding. Considering Roger and I left on my Harley I dont think we made the best impression. But we loved it and that was all that mattered, Freddie sang at the wedding and it was incredible.
I love Freddie, I tell him that every time I see him. I dont want to regret anything when he goes, we all know now. He has it, he has aids, Roger cried every night for weeks he was genuinely heartbroken. He has known Freddie for so long, he was losing his best friend. But Freddie was determined to have fun with his time left and create as much music as possible, so the boys have all been working really hard to help him do that. He has Jim now too, and I dont think I have ever seen Freddie so happy. He takes photos everywhere he goes now, this has resulted in some very bad photos of me and Roger usually when we are naked but we also have so many beautiful memories I will never forget.
Brian and Chris were happy as could be and Chris was pregnant. I had given her all the advice I could about the pregnancy. Holly couldn't help but laugh as she had already had 3 children of her own, the wedding was really her chance to let loose so she was pretty drunk by the time she reached the church. Her and John lived in a beautiful big house just outside of London. They live near Roger and I, their kids love Ziggy and all look after her so wonderfully. They cant wait to babysit for Auntie Evie and Uncle Roger, it's the cutest thing.
Vanity if course looked beautiful in a hand sewn dress of her own. Hidden boutique was flourishing and she had opened up several shops up and down the country. Her and Katy were still in the most beautiful relationship ever, they were honestly the best aunties ever to Ziggy. We had kind of given up on calling Florence or anything along the lines of her actual name, Bowie had spoken so everyone simply called her Ziggy. He was absolutely delighted to find this out.
Roger and I were still madly in love, eveyone called us crazy for putting up with eachother for so long. I was married to the love of my life, and honestly. I couldn't be any happier. He was the perfect father, friend and one husband. I will always love him and he will always love me
THE END
