This Love (Niall fanfiction)

Chapter 52

Niall's P.O.V

I was confused whenever the doctor had informed me about Cleo's asthma issue. I guess I can understand how it slipped her mind on not telling me. If it slipped her mind.

Maybe she just didn't want to tell me. I can't stop rocking back and forth in my seat in the waiting room. Cleo hated hospitals and I feel bad because she's here. Even though it's not my fault.

I don't understand how she even threw up. Or how any of this happened. It happened so fast. I try to look on the bright side and think about how she's in better care now. It's been a little over two hours waiting for any sign of a doctor to tell me anything. I think about last night and how Cleo was so happy and outgoing.

And loud.

I can feel my face heat up and I look down and let out a laugh. Making me recieve odd looks from other people in the waiting area.

A female in all white with a top knot bun walks over to me. I keep my head down because I knew my cheeks were still a little flushed. She taps me on my shoulder.

"Mr. Horan?" She says rubbing my back trying to comfort me. I guess she thinks I'm crying.

"Yes?" I say looking up at her.

"You can see her now, if you'd like." She says. I stand up and she walks me down the hallway and up the elevator. We chatted the entire time about Cleo. She told me what happened and what's going to happen. She had an asthma attack.

I open the door smiling wide at Cleo. She's laying down in the white bed with her hair in a little ponytail, since her hair is short now. She's wide awake and sits up a little.

"Niall!" She says with a big smile. I don't say anything. I just reach my arms out and embrace her.

"I missed you." I say with my face burried in her neck.

"I missed you t-"

"Don't ever scare me like that again." I say cutting her off.

"Sorry. Oh, Niall I have to tell you someth-"

The doctor came in and told me to go out and sign a few papers to get Cleo released from the hospital cutting off Cleo talking. I tell her to hold on and leave.

I walk a few feet before reaching the counter and signing all of the papers. I have a few signatures left to leave on the papers whenever the same doctor came up to me. She propped her elbow up on the counter, getting comfortable.

"So.." She says weirdly. She was unfortunately starting to annoy me. I just wanted to check out Cleo and leave. I hated everything about the hospital. Even the scent. It smells like old gloves.

"What?" I say dryly.

"Aren't you excited?"

"To get out of here? Yes, I'm excited."

"No, silly. I mean about Cleo being pregnant!" She says swatting me on the shoulder.

I drop the pen, my jaw, my phone.

Everything. I just stood there in shock.
