New World [Gay Chandler Riggs/1D fusion fanfic]

Chapter 19

AN: Hi guys don't forget that Lucas's name is now Cole :)

Cole's POV

I sat in the office  where my parents and I slept at night; Dad was still bleeding heavily  from the gunshot wound he got during the fight where I got knocked out.    "Liam you have too, you're the only one with any medical experience"  Dad was saying as Pops and Zayn cleaned the desk inside the office,  Chandler was downstairs watching the baby. 

"Harry this is  completely over my head, I've never done any surgery!  My job as a  firefighter and a paramedic was to treat minor injuries and stuff! It  was more serious my job was to keep people alive until they arrived at a  hospital! Where people like you would take care of them! Liam  protested, terrified "You're asking me to cut you open and look for this  bullet!" "Liam, you're the only one that can do this" Dad repeated.

Zayn held the blade of  Chandler's knife, the sharpest blade we had, over the fire from  Chandler's lighter to sanitized it.  Pops set towels, bandages and  cleaned, boiled water near the table; Liam took a deep breath as he took  the knife from Zayn and Dad laid down.  "Harry, this might help" Pops  said as he held the bottle of tequila Chandler found yesterday. 

Dad took four long  drinks before coughing and laying back down; Pops unwrapped the bandages  as Liam slowly lost the color in his face while Dad said "Cole, my son,  you have to hold my legs; we don't have any anesthesia so my body will  instinctively try to protect itself from the pain and I don't want to  kick you by accident".

Pops offered a clean  sock that he folded and handed to Dad who bit down on it and nodded to  Liam.  Pops took Dad's wrists and held them above his head before  pressing their foreheads together. "Harry on the count of three,  one...two...three" Liam said as he sunk the blade went into Dad's side.

Chandler's  POV

I sang loudly to the  baby, ignoring the pain in my leg; Harry's screams were exactly the same  as my own parents when they were attacked by walkers and it took  everything not to cover my ears and curl into a ball.  The baby stared  at me, as if trying to decide if I was insane or just plain crazy, she  was quiet though which I was beyond thankful for.  I was careful to keep  her from my wound which was still bleeding but finally seemed to be  slowing down thanks to the shirt I wrapped around it. 

After what felt like  years the screaming stopped and I could finally stop sing-shouting.  The  baby smiled at me and tried to pat my arm like it was trying to comfort  me, but because she couldn't fully control her limbs she just ended up  slapping her little hand on my arm repeatedly, which made me smile.  She  tried to investigate my leg but I laid on my back and held her in the  air before gently shaking her from side to side, making little airplane  noises as she "flew" through the air. 

I looked as the door  opened and Cole, with a bandage over his nose, was standing there  holding several things in his hands, Katelyn stood right next to him.   "Cole, are you ok?" I asked as I held the baby in the air, temporarily  forgetting about her, he nodded "Yeah I'm just here to give you first  aid while Pops takes care of Dad and Liam checks in on Jordan and  Aurora" he said as he walked to my sleeping back and sat on it, setting  down everything he held in his hands.

"I'll take the baby off  your hands" Katelyn said holding out her arms.  I glared at her and set  the baby on my chest; if she thinks I was going to trust her or her  family with the baby after Jordan what did, these people were bigger  idiots than I thought they were. 

I glared at her until  she felt awkward "Well...if she becomes fussy or anything I'll be  upstairs" she said before leaving.  Cole looked at me "I don't trust  them" was all I said as I kissed the baby very softly on the top of her  little head and chuckled as her soft hair tickled my nose.  Cole  shrugged and looked at my leg "Let's get you cleaned up yeah?" he said  as he took the baby in my arms and laid her against one of the sides of  his dogs who was lying down, the dog  just sniffed at the baby but  didn't move afterwards.
