Lovin' Styles

Ready - Chapter 73

Skye's POV:

"Call me if you need anything. Anything at all." Were the last words I heard Niall say before he left for the police station. I nodded and went back to the kitchen, busying myself with cleaning.

I heard the door creak open. "Niall?" My call echoed throughout the empty house.

"Not Niall..." I heard a voice growl. I grabbed my phone.

"Niall someone broke into the house-"

Hands covered my eyes and I covered. I whirled around to me a grinning Louis.

"Lou, you scared the hell out of me. That was not funny. Now Niall's going to be all worried, ugh, Louis!" I shrieked.

I heard a car pull into the driveway and groaned. "You," I poked him in the chest. "Are dealing with an angry Niall."

Louis rolled his eyes. "Nothing I can't handle."

Niall burst through the doors, a gun in his hands and a crazed look in his blue eyes. His eyes locked on me and his face turned red. "Where is this so-called murderer?" He seethed.

"She never said the person was a murderer. She just said someone broke into the house!" Louis piped up from the corner. He was munching cheerfully on a carrot.

"Louis," I warned as I gritted my teeth together.

Niall pointed at me. "You, you..." his angry tone dropped. "So you're alright?" He asked quietly.

I managed to choke out a, "Yes." He nodded and kissed my cheek before leaving me and Lou in the house. 

"What just happened?"

"Not too much of an angry Niall, huh? Told you I could deal with him." Louis said smugly and stuck his tongue out at me. "I gotta get back to Li. See you later?"

"Yea, sure." I said. Louis slipped on his jean jacket and hopped into his car.

Riley's POV:

Today the doctor's would take another X-ray. I was a bit nervous, but crazy excited that I would be able to get out of this stupid wheelchair.

"Babe?" I heard Harry murmur. His hand stayed secure on my thigh, his thumb rubbing back and forth on top of my jeans. "Whatever happens, just know I love you." His eyes stayed focused on the road, but I could tell he was dying to kiss me by the way his eyes darted over to meet mine every few seconds.

"And I will forever love you, Mr. Styles," I said happily.

"Why, thank you, Mrs. Styles."

The wedding had been last week, but I still hadn't gotten used to the fact that I was finally Mrs. Styles. I loved it.

"Oh, my first design class is next week. When does your flight leave?" Harry and the boys were finally leaving for their tour next week too, and Skye (and hopefully Izzy) were going to be staying with me, Noah and Logan.

"4:30 am on Saturday. You and the boys don't have to see me off."

"No, we want to! I mean, I want to, which means the boys have to come with me an-"

Harry parked the car in the lot and reached over and kissed me softly. "I love you, but shut up." He teased. I giggled and got out of the car. Today I had on the brace, too lazy to get wheeled around. Plus, when I'm in my chair, people look at me funny.

"Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Styles!" The woman at the front desk greeted us. Harry and I looked at each other excitedly when she said our names. "Dr. Li just got here. Room six, follow me." Harry grabbed my hand and lead me to the room. He opened the door, his arm wrapped around my waist. The minute we entered the small room, the smell of anti-bacterial soap, and new latex gloves filled my nose.

"Ew." I said. "I hate the smell of hospitals."

"And that," Harry reached in my purse and pulled out a small squirt bottle. "Is why I brought this." He spritzed the air, the room now smelling of sweet flowers. 

"And that, is why you are the best husband in the world." He chuckled and kissed me.

"Riley, Harry! So good to see you two!" Dr. Li appeared behind us and gave us both hugs before we sat down in the hard plastic chairs. "So," Dr. Li pulled out the files. "You are getting your X-ray today. And this will decide if your spine is adapting, correct?" She checked the info with me. I nodded and Harry gave my hand a supportive squeeze.

"Let's go!" She brought me to a room with a hospital gown and a pair gray socks on a bench. "Put these on, and then we can begin the process!"

"Fun. Process." I grumbled as she walked out of the room. Mere minutes ago, I was excited. Now I just want to know.

"C'mon. The sooner you get changed, the sooner you'll be out of the brace, and the sooner we can go home to our kids." He held up the hospital gown.

"Ugh, fine. But turn around." I demanded. 

"Riley, we're married-"

"Just turn around!"

"Fine."

I slid off my clothes and slipped on the plastic-like material gown. I threw the socks at Harry, signaling for him to turn around.

He turned around and looked at me. "Good girl."

Dr. Li poked her head in. "Ready to start?"

"Ready as I'll ever be."
