CHAPTER 24

<<Zayn's POV>>
<<The next day>>

The next day, I woke up super early like normal. From our little 'adventure' last night, which involved a lot of energy, Niall was terribly tired. But he woke up and went to meetings and did his normal political things. I looked at me ring and imagined that sweet day. Niall told me that we would have a judge instead of a usual archbishop because none would bless the marriage. I was okay with that. Safaa and I went to the kitchen and she taught me how to make baklava. It was a terribly complicated process and I do not remember how to make it, but Safaa was quite patient.

As we put on layers of honey, and walnuts and butter, Liam and Louis came out with mussed hair and cheerful smiles with a slight hint o' cheekiness on them. They were up to something naughty. Nurse Johanna came by and informed that Liam has another doctor's appointment tomorrow to check up. We gave her some o' the dessert. She loved it and Safaa blushed. Then, Niall and the Marchioness came by with Crystal. We all snacked on some baklava. It tasted okay, but I'd rather me chocolate mousse. Crystal said that she ordered a new set o' lace from France and fine cotton from the Ottoman Empire and Niall could try his hands at clothes when he got a break. O' course, Harry immediately joined.

"Zayn, would ye like to try somethin' new?" Safaa asked

"Sure, what is it?" I accepted. Safaa went into the kitchen and returned back to the parlour with a bowl o' creamy dip and pita bread.

"This is eggplant Baba ghanoush, ye dip it with pita bread, it helps maintain youth." Safaa explained. As if on cue, Nancy immediately took some bread and ate a huge bite. We all dug in and enjoyed it. But then we heard a shrill shriek, it came from the library. We all stood up and ran, Crystal tripped on her heels, but quickly got up.

"What the hell was that!?" Niall asked, frantically, running towards the library. We got there and Louis was holding Liam, who was lying in his lap, hyperventilating shallow, he was quivering and I immediately knew that something was not right.

"P-p-please, take us to the hospital, NOW!" Louis pleaded, picking Liam up, tears falling doon his face.

"O' course, Harry, forget the carriage, get the thoroughbred racer, now!" Niall commanded, Harry nodded and was already sprinting. Everyone ran out o' the way and we all frantically ran to the door. Safaa grabbed her khimar and Harry was already there, with a sleek, white horse. Louis and Liam got a head start.

"Ye know what to do, Niall," I said, he nodded, we hopped into the nearest taxi and crammed ourselves into there. We had to take two to fit everyone. Within two minutes, we were at the hospital, even though it was aboot one in the afternoon and July, it was still a bit chilly because this is Ireland. We rushed into the hospital and quickly ran as Harry signed us all in. With people seeing Niall as king and Nancy as a noble, they all cleared a path and we went into one o' the wards.

The sight was horrifying, Liam's face was blue and his nostrils were flaring and his mouth wide open. I couldn't see much with all the doctors and nurses blocking me view, but Louis was sobbing in a lacy handkerchief as he stood out o' the way. Liam's shirt was ripped off and nurses tried to get him oxygen and other things.

"Move, make way!" a doctor shouted, wheeling Liam's bed into the halls

"What the fuck is going on?" I asked. Johanna came up and explained,
