When Niall wakes up he goes downstairs to make breakfast when his mother comes downstairs. "Good morning, mum!" "Good morning, precious! How are you? Did you sleep well?" "Yes, how did you sleep?" "Fine, but I kept waking up!" "Are you alright?" "I feel fine, a bit of a headache and tummy ache but that's not gonna kill me!"
Niall takes his toast out of the toaster and makes it for his mother. "Here, eat this, you might feel a little better after it!" "Oh, Niall, what did I do to deserve you!", Maura says squeezing Niall's cheek after taking the toast. She takes her first bite while Niall starts to make himself a toast. Maura quickly stands up and rushes to the bathroom. "You alright, mum?" "No!", his mum says and Niall can hear her pain in her voice.
Niall runs to his mum, brings her into the livingroom and brings her her shoes and jacket. "Put these on! I'll bring you to the hospital to get you all checked up!" "It's probably just a bug!" "We're getting you checked up!" He grabs his shoes and then holds his mums arm while walking to the car. "Where's your coat?" "Don't need one!" "It's absolutely freezing out! Of course you do!" "No, it's more important to get you to the hospital!" He starts the car and drives off.
When they arrive at the hospital Niall rushes to the front desk after telling his mum "Sit right here, on the chair! I'll get a doctor!" He comes back with a doctor who then explains "Mrs. Horan, you seem very pale! Your son told me what complaints you have so I'd like to take a good look at you and keep you here for a while!" "Is it anything serious?", Niall asks. "I can't tell just by looking at her here! I have to do a few checkups and I'll get back to you when I know more! Why don't you wait in the visitors room?" "Ok!" The three of them take the lift upstairs and the doctor points Niall in the direction of the visitors room.
Niall walks in and makes himself a tea before he sits down on the couch. He takes out his phone and starts cancelling his plans for the day. A few minutes later he hears someone open the door. "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't know that someone was in here!", a female voice apologieses. "No poblem, come on in! I probably need the company right now!", Niall explains and the girl comes in and closes the door again.
"I'm Niall!" "Ciara!" "Nice to meet ya! May I ask why you are here?" "My dad! He fell down the stairs!", she says looking down at her feet and Niall can see she's holding back her tears. "Oh, god! That's terrible! Is he alright?" "They don't know yet!" Niall walks over towards her and pulls her into a hug. "I hope he's alright!" "I hope so, too! I can't loose him aswell!" "Oh, god! I'm so sorry to hear that! I must be lucky that my mum 'only' feels sick!"
"Do you wamt a tea? Or a coffee?", Niall asks her and she replys "Tea. Black, please!" Niall goes over to the kitchen isle and feels the teapot to see if it's still hot. "Shit!", he yells. "What's wrong?" "The teapot is boiling hot!", he explains and she starts laughing. He holds his hand under some cold water and then makes a black tea for Ciara.
"I would suggest you wait a minute or two before you start drinking your tea!", Niall says putting the tea down on the little table infront of her. They both start laughing. "Got any siblings?" "Yeah, an older brother Greg, he doesn't live with us anymore though! He recently moved together with his girlfriend!" "So he's a good bit older?" "Yeah! How 'bout you?" "Got four small brothers!" "Really?" "Yep, I always feel like I'm the mum in the house because I'm the only girl! Well, and the oldest out of all my siblings!"
"I bet it get's pretty wild at your house then!" "You should see it! There's no words to describe the chaos!", she laughs and picks up her cup of tea. Only after Niall saw that Ciara didn't burn herself he himself picks up his tea and takes a sip. "How old are your brothers?" "Twelve, nine and five! I brought them to my neighbours before we left if that's what your hinting at." "I kinda was!", he laughs. "I'm sorry to have to do this but do you mind if I turn on the tv? There's a golf tournament on in five minutes and I would really like to watch it!" "You like golf?" "No! I love golf!" "Me, too!" They both make themselves comfortable on the couch and turn on the tv.
While they sit there watching golf they keep hearing footsteps outside in the hallway and voices of the doctors walking by. They keep yelling of joy when their favorite golfer wins at the hole and yell of annoyance when he doesn't. All of a sudden the door opens and both of them expect them to tell them to be quieter and not yell around that much bur that doesn't happen.
A doctor walks in. "Ciara?" "Yes! That's me!", she says and they both stand up. "I have some news about your father..." Niall puts his arm around Ciara who is very stiff knowing how scared she must feel. "Is it good news?", Ciara asks with hope in her eyes. "It is! It's very good news!" She releases a loud sigh and hugs Niall. "He's ok!", Ciara whispers. "He's ok!", Niall repeats.
"He has a bruise on his head and twisted his ancle but he's gonna be fine! We'd like to keep him here for one or two night to make sure he is alright but it looks very good for him!" "Thank you so much!", Ciara says running towards the doctor and gives him a hug. "I'm sorry to interupt this, but... do you know anything about Maura? Maura Horan?"
"Who are you?" "Niall. Niall Horan. Maura Horan's son." "Wait a second I'll go check and see what I can find!", the doctor says and leaves the room. Ciara jumps into Niall's arms and kisses him. "Oh, sorry, I didn't...", she starts but Niall kisses her to show her it was fine. The door opens and the doctor comes back in. "Your mum is fine! She had some rotten foot which made her feel bad. It seems like she got a food poisoning. She should be out in the next few hours though!" "Thank you, doctor!", Niall says and shakes his hand.
He leaves the room again and Niall and Ciara hug again. "I'm so happy for you that your dad is ok! He could have injured himself seriously!" "And I'm glad your mum's alright! I once had a food poisoning and that wasn't nice at all!" Niall hold Ciara tight until there's a knock at the door. "Sorry for interrupting again, but, Ciara, your dad wants to talk to you!" Niall kisses her goodbye.
