Complications

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Help! Help! Doctor, nurse he's seizing!" Harry screamed as if someone was murdering him making Niall literally jump off the chair and onto the ground. Before they knew it they were escorted out of the room so that the nurses and doctors could try to figure out what was happening to Louis.

Harry was pacing back and forth while Niall was sitting on the floor with his head in his lap as he tried to wrap his head around what was happening. Harry chewed down on his fingernails as it felt like forever for something to come out to tell them what could be the problem.

As the doctor came out he had an unreadable look on his face, not really knowing how to tell them that Louis would need surgery to save his life. Just as the doctor was about to say something Jay and Dan had arrived looking really worried.

"Great, you're all here. So, what you just witnessed wasn't an actual seizure that was caused by his concussion, it's because his brain is swelling that it's putting pressure in his skull and his body doesn't know what to do about it. We think the best thing to do right now is to go into emergency surgery and take out the part of his skull where his brain is swelling and keep it out until his brain heals."

Jay nodded, his eyes filled with tears. "Will the babies be okay during the procedure?"

The doctor nodded, "Of course, we'll have the OBGYN monitoring them during the procedure to make sure there are no complications. I'll go call for a transport to the OR and he'll get the surgery as soon as we can squeeze him in. But, in the meantime, go to the waiting room just outside and someone will come get you after we bring him back."

"Thank you doctor."

He smiled, "No problem, it's just what I do. Saving lives on a daily basis, he will pull through. He's already beat the odds multiple times, just one more bump and it should be smooth sailing."

"So, when his brain heals will you put his skull back in place?"

The doctor nodded. "We will put it back, we won't keep it out of him for too long."

Harry snuck back into Louis' room and kissed his forehead before he followed the rest of them out to the waiting room to eat the food with them.

Louis sighed as he was finally able to see the light through his eyes, his family was nowhere to be found. It made him really confused, "What's going on?" He asked out loud and the strange figure reappeared.

"Just another bump in the road. These are all just tests for you and your family. This will tell you who wants you or the babies. And hey, the ones who decided who they want more may actually surprise you."

"You mean Harry will surprise me?" Louis scoffed, knowing Harry he would pick the babies over Louis. The strange figure disappeared before Louis got an answer out of him, leaving Louis alone once again. He decided to visit a few of his favorite memories he had with Harry.

"Oh, sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going. I will pay for more food and maybe a new shirt?" Louis frantically as he realized he bumped into the new kid at school and managed to get him to spill all his food all over him.

The taller boy looked at Louis as he brushed himself off. "It's alright, you don't need to. It was my fault too."

"But, I was the one who was looking down at my phone as I was walking."

"And I was the one staring at you as I collided into you." He smiled making Louis blush. "I'm Harry by the way, and what's your name cutie?"

Louis' blush moved to the tip of his ears before he replied. "Louis."

**

"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?" Harry asked as he walked up to Louis from behind him, getting a slight jump from startling him.

Louis turned around, his cheeks bright red. "No one ever has told me that before, why?"

Harry shrugged. "Because you are and you're really adorable when I make you blush."

"You are such a flirt. You must do this to everyone, right?" Louis trying to make it seem that Harry really didn't like it and that he just pitied him.

Harry shook his head. "Well for one, I don't openly flirt to just anyone. Just the ones who are just a tad shorter than me, has these really nice blue eyes and a really nice bum." Harry winked at him before he left him standing there looking more flustered than he had been before.

**

"I missed you, why were you gone for so long?" Louis asked as he accepted the hug from Harry who hadn't shown up in school for a week.

"Someone gave me mono, I wonder who that could have been?"

Louis couldn't help but blush from the guiltiness. "I'm sorry, I didn't think I was still contagious when I let you drink from my smoothie!"

"Well, you still were and my mom was furious. She didn't let me out of her sight, she thought I was hooking up with random people even when I told her it was from me sharing a drink with you."

Louis couldn't help but laugh, he always loved it when Harry told him the funny stories of what his mother always did. "I'm still very sorry, I didn't know."

Harry shook his head, shrugging. "Not like I'm mad at you or anything. I got to watch netflix all week. Watched all of Full House, NCIS and Criminal Minds."

Louis pouted. "But, you were supposed to finish Criminal Minds with me."

"I was bored, I'm sorry."

"It's fine, I'll still make you watch it with me anyways."

Harry chuckled. "Alright, sounds fair. Now, come on we have a date with a blonde haired freak and the two doofuses at the diner in ten minutes." Louis chuckled at the nicknames Harry had for Niall, Liam and Zayn.

Louis smiled as he was pulled by Harry, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster as he thought about the potential idea of dating Harry. He just didn't want to get hurt.

Harry couldn't help but look through the photos on his phone, a smile grew and grew on his face as he recalled all of the memories from them. He remembered the first time Louis and him had met, how he wore his food from bumping into Louis. The countless flirting, everything. He just wanted Louis back and he doesn't know why he tried to divorce him in the first place. He should have just listened to his mother and adopted when they hadn't gotten pregnant after the first year.

Harry sighed, he hopes that the last thing he remembers of Louis would be the time meeting with the lawyers. He wanted to make it right, but how?

He already messed up, he doesn't want to make everything ten times worse than it already is. But, he could at least try to see what would happen. He just need to think of a plan and he would need some help.

He sighed hoping that Niall, Liam and Zayn would be on board to help him. He needed to make it right, he wanted to change for the better. He wanted to change for Louis.
