Why are you looking down all the wrong roads?
When mine is the heart and the salt of the soul
There may be lovers who hold out their hands, but
They'll never love you like I can, can, can

"As the surgeon who'll be performing the surgery it's my job to tell you all the risks, and one of them is Zayn not surviving"
"There's always risks with every surgery, and Zayn is already weak"
"We'll try, and I've already put him on the list, but-"
Tony blinked "I'll take care of it"
~~~~~
"Do we-"
"I mean I want to get to know him" Stiles said looking at Tony
Derek hummed "He seems fun"
"Up until like, 3 days ago we all hated him"
"I CAN HEAR YOU!!"
"Hush and act like you can't"
Tony rolled his and walked away
"WHERE WILL YOU GET A LIVER?!"
"I HAVE MY WAYS"
~~~~~
Tony blinked, he was alone for the first time in days
He took a deep breath before he sat down on the floor with his head on his knees
"Hey sweet thing"
Tony let out a grunt as Claire sat down beside him "You ok?"
He shrugged "Is it bad that I wish I was on the bed he's on instead?"
Claire gave him a small smile "No. It's you being a good younger brother"
Tony lifted his head from his knees and looked at her "You think so?"
Claire nodded "Yeah, 100%" She smiled "Ya know, I do see the difference between you both"
Tony smiled "Yeah?"
"Yeah" She whispered, before they both leaned ahead and pressed their lips together
~~~~~
"Tony is gonna go get you a liver" Liam mumbled "That's crazy. Isn't it?"
"Very" Zayn mumbled
Liam gasped "Oh my god, you're awake. I need to call-"
Zayn held Liam's hand "No."
Liam frowned "But-"
"Please. I just want you for a moment"
Liam stayed quiet then sat down, holding Zayn's hand in between his own
He pressed his lips to Zayn's knuckle and Zayn squeezed Liam's hand
"Do you need anything?"
Zayn slowly shook his head "Just you...."
Liam smiled "What about everyone who loves you out there?"
Zayn shrugged "I want my sunshine, my Jaan"
~~~~~
"He's awake, Yaser" Trisha whispered. Looking through the glass
Yaser smiled and kissed her temple "You doubted our boy? You doubted our son who's been fighting all his life?"
Trisha laughed quietly "I worry about our kids, I can't imagine just being ok with one of them being hurt"
Yaser chuckled and nodded, she looked over her shoulder at her 4 year old grandkids playing together while they laughed
She whispered "They deserved to grow up together Yaser"
Yaser frowned "They still have time, they're only just 4"
She shook her head, then turned towards him with a weak smile
"I'm not talking about them, love"
~~~~~
"You will go in one by one, ok?"
"But why?"
"Baba can't have too many people in the room with him"
Estrella nodded "Ok" and Connor stepped back
She was decked out in ICU gear then walked in, the nurse holding her hand while they walked towards the bed
"No jumping on him, ok?" The nurse said and Estrella frowned
"Baba is hurt, why jump?"
The nurse blinked then shook her head, she sat Estrella down on a chair and Zayn turned towards her
"Who are you?"
Her eyes widened "Did you forget me, baba?" She whispered
Zayn shook his head slowly "If course not, I'll always remember my little lady"
She smiled and giggled "You scared me baba"
Zayn chuckled "C'mere"
Estrella got off of the chair and sat on the bed with help from the nurse and threw her arms around Zayn
He hugged her, pain rose up through his chest but he hugged her, and kissed her temple
She pulled away and traced her finger from the middle of his eyebrows and down the bridge of his nose
Then tapped the bottom, Zayn chuckled and laid back
"I love you, baba"
"I love you so much more, little lady"
~~~~~
They watched Connor and Zayn through the glass, Connor was talking and Zayn's eyes were half way open
Then Connor said something that made Zayn's eyes go wide and Connor laughed with his head dropped back
Zayn blinked and shook his head before he smiled, he said something then Connor helped himself on to the bed and kissed Zayn's cheek
"You raised him well" Trisha said, looking at Liam
Liam smiled weakly "My parents did so much wrong with me. I want to be sure my kids won't go through the same"
~~~~~
Zayn got moved to a regular room and rubbed his face, Liam walked into the room and smiled
"Kids are gone with your parents, one of your brothers is off on a hunt and the other is fighting to be the favourite. Everyone else is waiting to see you but they agreed to wait until tomorrow"
Zayn dropped his hand and motioned for Liam to come closer
Liam walked towards him and sat down on the bed
"Are you ok?" Zayn mumbled, twisting the ring around Liam's finger
He laughed "You almost died. I betrayed you, Zayn" His smile fell "How do you still care about me?"
Zayn shrugged "Because, you're my Liam." He said "I get why you did, what you did and I won't lie and say it doesn't hurt" He furrowed his brows "But I just can't imagine going through the rest of my life and not having you"
Liam smiled "Hospitals are our thing, huh?"
Zayn chuckled "Yeah. They are"
~~~~~
Tony put the liver into the cooler and Claire kept on looking at him wide eyed
"How are you sure it'll be good for Zayn?"
Tony chuckled "He's a universal blood donor, and he's not much of a drinker" Tony looked at the dead man in the corner of the room
"That doesn't mean he's a good man though"
Claire blinked and scrunched her nose "Is it a Malik thing?"
Tony snorted "Yeah"
