Scarlet

          Niall jumped out of the car as I pulled up at the entrance of the hospital. I drove around to the parking lot and parked my car and took a deep breath. Niall didn't have his car with him and he didn't have the time to get home to get his car so he asked me if I could take him to the hospital. I didn't even think twice. His son was in hospital. I was going to drop everything to get him to his son and to make sure everything was alright.

I got out of my car and locked my door. I took the short walk to the front doors of the hospital and headed to the front desk to find out information about where Wesley was. Luckily before I could take part in any social interaction, I saw Jezebel in the waiting room. I was relieved when I saw her. I walked over to her and she looked up at the sound of my shoes padding against the floor. The extremely clean floor with the scent of alcohol in the air. The typical hospital scent which made you feel sick to the stomach.

"Scarlet, What are you doing here?" She stood up and hugged me. Jezebel was one of my closest friends. We lost contact once I moved apartments. She was my neighbour back in my old apartment.

"I drove Niall. What happened? Is Wesley okay?"

"He's alright. He got an extremely high fever, but he's okay. He ate a cookie. It had cinnamon that I didn't know about and he's allergic. But the doctors gave him some medicine and he's going to be okay." She told me. "It wasn't as bad as we thought."

I nodded and felt a sense of happiness knowing that Wesley was safe and alright.

"Thank goodness. Niall was freaking out on the way here." I told her as I sat down.

"Are you two okay now? The last time I checked you vanished off the face of the planet." She nudged my arm.

"I don't know, actually. I met him last week. And we just had coffee earlier and just chatted. We didn't get to finish our conversation though." I shrugged. "How've you been?"

"I've been good! Ian and I got engaged!" She told me.

"That's amazing. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you." I told her as the door slid open that led to the ER.

Niall walked out with Wesley in his arms. Wesley had his arms tightly around Niall's neck, his face hidden away.

"He's okay. Thanks for calling me and bringing him here Belle. You can head home. Text me when you get home." Niall hugged Jezebel. She bid farewell to the both of us and tickled Wesley's tiny feet before she headed out.

I stood, leaning against the wall as I stared at Niall.

"Urhm could you maybe drop us home? If you don't mind obviously." He asked, biting his lip.

I nodded and pushed myself off the wall. "Yeah, yeah. Of course. Let's go."

We began making our way out of the hospital.

"Hmm?" I heard Niall speak softly to Wesley. I heard small whispers. I turned my head to the two of them. Niall had a small smile on his face.

"Why don't you ask her?" Niall asked Wesley.

I looked at Wesley, who now was peaking from behind his hands. I stuck my tongue out at him causing him to giggle. Even though he just got out of hospital, here he was giggling and being happy. This kid is the cutest.

"He's wondering if you'd carry him. He doesn't like his dad too much anymore." Niall said, pouting slightly. This caused Wesley to giggle even more

I was shocked at his request. But agreed anyways.

"Come here." I reached over for Wesley as he curled up into me. "How are you doing?" I asked him. He simply hid further into my hair.
