At the hospital

Heather's POV- before she wakes up

  I slowly hear my surroundings and can feel something in my mouth and my breathing getting easier. I open my eyes and see a really handsome guy staring down at me with a stethoscope in his ears, checking my breathing. He tells me his name and that he's a doctor and asks how I'm feeling and what my name is, in which I respond and tell him.

 I start to get acquainted with everything around me and remember that Zoey gets out of school in a little bit. I sit up and start to feel dizzy. Harry gently eases me down and says that he wants me to go to the hospital. I tell him about Zoey, in which his response is, if my husband or a friend could get her. This makes me sad, as I think of Zayn and I tell him that my husband died six years ago and Call Karina, one of Zoey's friend's mom's. "Hey, K, can you pick up Zoey when you pick up Emily? I had an asthma attack and have to go to the doctors". She tells me of course she can and hopes I get better.

 I then turn to Harry and see him looking sad. He tells me that he's sorry for bringing up Zayn and it surprises me that he's so thoughtful and empathetic. Usually no one really cares how I feel when they bring up Zayn, they just think it's wrong that I'm a single mother. I tell him thanks as I get loaded in the ambulance and hear that we will be going to Mercy Hope Hospital. It's supposed to be my day off, but I guess I'm going to work today.

We get there and Harry takes over for the paramedics, taking me over to an empty room and helping me get on the bed. My breathing has almost gotten back to normal, but Harry still wants me to have a breathing treatment just in case. He hooks me up to the machine and starts talking to me. "So Heather, how old is your daughter and what's her name?" "She's six and her name is Zoey. She was born after my husband died, so he never got to meet her, but she looks just like him. She has brown eyes and a big wide smile with my hair color. She loves reading and animals and wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. She is my world", I tell him and he smiles.

 Gosh he has a nice smile, I think as I blush. "She sounds lovely. I love kids. They are so cute and I have always wanted a kid, but have yet to find the right woman", he tells me and I smile. I notice he has an accent, and question him about it. "Where's your accent from?" "I grew up in England, then came to the states for my residency. I've lived here for about four years, but the accent's stayed". 

As he was talking, I see Liam, the chief of the hospital, walking over, looking kind of mad. "Styles! Where have you been? I have been paging you for last ten minutes. You were supposed to have clocked in half an hour ago!". "Sorry Dr. Payne. There was an emergency at the park and I had to help. I'll get going and clock in now". 

That's when Liam looks over and sees me. "What are you doing here Heather? Isn't today your day off?". "Um, yeah I was kind of the emergency at the park. I had an asthma attack and Harry saved me. I'm just here until he says that I can leave", I tell him while my cheeks burn red of embarrassment. "Well, feel better", he says and smiles.

 While this exchange is happening, Harry is looking at me all confused. Once Liam is out of the area, he turns to me and asks, "What just happened? You work here? Are you a doctor too? How have I never seen you before?" I smile at him and answer him. "Yes I work here. No, I'm not a doctor. I work three floors up as a pediatric nurse. We probably have never met because ER doctors don't usually visit with pediatric doctors or nurses and if you work more weekdays and have weekends off, then there's even less of a chance that we would have seen each other". "Oh, yeah I do get weekends off, but I go up there all the time. My best friend, Louis is a doctor up there, so I'm sure I would have seen you sometime. I don't know. Hey, why did Dr. Payne allow you to call him Liam? I've worked here for four years and still can't call him by his first name". "oh, I know Louis. To the kids he's Dr. Silly monster, though. Maybe we have seen each other, just didn't pay attention. And ha-ha. Liam lets me call him by his first name because we first me on a blind date set up by my best friend, Niall. We quickly figured out that we weren't right for each other and he found Sophia soon after, which worked out perfect for him. Now we are just good friends and he occasionally helps me look after Zoey if I have to bring her to work. She knows him as Uncle Liam and Sophia and he are her godparents". "Wow, small world. I'm never letting Louis live down the Dr. Silly monster though. He's going to kill you and I. I have to get ready for my shift though, so I'll be back. Until then just continue with the breathing treatment and rest some". He walks out the door and I slowly fall asleep.

Harry's POV

                I get to the locker room and luckily have an extra pair of scrubs in my locker. I don't have time for a shower, so I just put on my scrubs and put on lots of deodorant. I then walk out and clock in. I grab my first patient's clipboard and go see them. It was someone that fell out of a tree and needs stitches. I walk in and see a little boy about ten years old. I say, "Hi, I'm Dr. Harry. Can you tell me what happened?" He tells me what happened and I start taking a look at his arms and legs and first just do a normal exam, just to make sure that nothing else is hurt and clean out the wound.

 I then start getting the needle ready to numb the area, in which he starts freaking out. "Hey bud, it will only be a pinch, I promise. This will help me make you better. Close your eyes and count to ten and it will be all done". He closes his eyes and I quickly stick the needle in and plunge the medicine in. He whimpers, but soon relaxes. "Dr. Harry, my arm feels funny", he tells me and I get ready to start sewing his skin back together. He sees the needle and thread and starts to panic again. "Don't look at it. Turn your head away or close your eyes again. You'll just feel a small bit of tugging. If it hurts at all, squeeze my leg okay". He nods and closes his eyes again. I sew up his arm and clean it again. I then give him something for the pain and send him off.

                I continue helping my patients and when I look at my watch, I see that I've been here for three hours already. I go over to Heather's room, and see her just starting to wake up. "Hey Heather, are you feeling better? Anything hurt?" I ask as I get my stethoscope out and start listening to her lungs. The wheezing is gone and she tells me, "I feel better, thanks Harry for looking after me", and gives me a smile. I smile back and help her off the bed. 

Once she's on her own two feet, she gives me a big hug, in which I return and she stands on her tippy-toes and tries to kiss my cheek. However, I move my head just a little and she ends up kissing my mouth instead. Oh my God, I felt sparks in that kiss even more than I used to feel with Taylor! Heather quickly breaks off the kiss and turns a bright shade of pinkish red. She then runs away before I can say anything else.

I know, a little cliff hanger, but that just means that if y'all want to know what happens next, then you have to vote. Let me know what y'all think :)
