Bellevue Hospital Center

It's already been an hour since Zayn arrived at the hospital and no one bothered to tell him what was going on with Liam. All he knew was that he was stuck in the ER due to the wound on his head. The police didn't even show up to clarify what had happened. He was worrying, close to crying due to frustration and fear. Evan and Niall has rushed to the hospital immediately after Zayn texted them and decided to take care of the kids whilst giving the young latter the chance to calm down.

It wasn't really working. For almost half an hour, Zayn has been pacing back and forth in the waiting room, anxiously chewing at his fingernail as he impatiently waited for someone to walk in and tell them what happened. He didn't even text the others yet about the emergency, wanting to wait until things cleared up. He was hoping for the better, wanting nothing more but for his boyfriend to be alive and well.

"Zayn, it's going to be fine." Evan tried to assure the latter, watching him walk around the waiting area.

"No, no." Zayn shook his head, on the verge of tears once again. "This was not supposed to happen. I was supposed to come home to- to Liam being well and not- not visiting him in the fucking hospital- shit!" He frustratingly punched his fist into the wall, causing Kai to flinch at that. He frowned and cuddled into Niall's side, burying his face into his shirt.

Zayn winced at the pain, looking down at his fist to see the blood and bruises forming on the back of his hand. "Zayn." Evan said softly and stood up, walking up to him. He pulled him into his arms. The younger bloke tried to resist him, mumbling no's and pushing him away, but his ex only tightened his hold until he gave in, sobbing into his sweater.

"This is all my fault." Zayn cried, clutching onto the fabric. Evan just silently rocked them back and forth, rubbing at his back soothingly to calm him.

Niall was calming Kai whilst rocking Kennette's carrier to let her continue her sleep after her crying session earlier. It was a tough night for all of them, everyone praying and hoping that the brunet was alright.

"Mister Malik?" The familiar voice of doctor Hamilton filled the room, making everyone look up. Zayn pulled away from Evan, wiping his eyes and sniffling.

"Y- Yeah?" He asked, looking at the man.

"I have good news and I have bad news." The doctor started, looking down at the clipboard in his hand. "Which one do you want to hear first."

"Good news." Zayn said, rubbing at his arm.

Doctor Hamilton nodded. "He's going to be fine. He suffered a minor concussion as well as a severe head injury. We managed to get the pieces of glass out of his head and stitched up the wound." He explained, everyone sighing in relief. It felt as if some type of weight was lifted from zayn's shoulders.

"What's the bad news?" Evan then asked.

The man looked at him, sighing after. "We had to put him into a coma due to his injury to protect his brain from any type of swelling or internal infection. It's not a very long one, just a temporary one but it might cause him to lose parts of his memory. We're not quite sure how much, since the head injury was very deep plus with him hitting his head on the floor and losing a lot of blood, it could be a lot. He'll recover very soon though and until then, you can visit him as much as you like." He informed them, Zayn's heart dropping into his stomach.

He stood there frozen, not sure whether to move or not. He couldn't even speak. All he knew was, his lover was in a medical coma. Sure, things would turn alright eventually, just like the doctor said. But he knew things were going to change after that and he was afraid.

"If you want, you can go see him." Doctor Hamilton suggested, looking at zayn. The younger boy looked up and stared at him before nodding his head silently. He walked over to Kai and gently picked the boy up, ignoring the pain in his hand. He grabbed Kennette's carrier and walked out of the waiting area, making his way towards the room where Liam was located in.

He walked in after the nurse opened the door for him, thanking her with a groggy voice. He looked over at Liam's body, his eyes tearing up. His head had a bandage wrapped around it, his body laying completely still on the bed. His skin was pale, due to the loss of so much blood. The only sound in the room being the beeping of the heart monitor connected to him.

It broke zayn's heart to see him like this.

"Is daddy going to be okay?" Kai's soft voice asked, his hand playing with zayn's necklace.

"Yeah babe, daddy's going to be alright." Zayn said, sniffling. "He's going to be alright." He smiled a little, wanting to encourage the four year old. The boy could see through his smile that there was something wrong so he just nodded his head.

Evan and Niall appeared behind them. "If you want, we can take the kids home with us and have them stay until Liam is well." The blond suggested, rubbing zayn's arm assuringly.

"That- that would be great." Zayn agreed and nodded. "Thank you." He whispered afterwards, handing the carrier over to Evan and Kai to Niall.

"Baba?" Kai questioned confused, not sure what he was doing. Zayn placed his hand on his cheek and smiled a little.

"You have to be a good boy for daddy and I, okay?" He said softly, caressing the boy's cheek gently. "I'm going to stay with daddy until he's awake and well. You'll be with your sister, uncle Evan and uncle Niall, babe." He told him and sighed softly.

Kai pouted, his bottom lip trembling as his eyes began to water. "B- but I- i don't wanna go. I wanna stay with- with you." He was on the verge of crying, the tears rolling down his face.

"I know baby." Zayn kissed his little hand. "But you have to do me the favor and stay with uncle Evan and Niall okay? Just for a little while. I promise me and daddy will pick you two up as soon as we can."

Kai sniffled and wiped his eyes. "Can you give daddy a kiss for me?" He suddenly asked, giving Zayn his best puppy dog eyes.

"Of course." The dark haired beauty smiled fondly at that and nodded. He looked over at Evan and Niall. "Please take good care of them." He begged them.

"We always do." Evan assured with a soft smile. "We'll get their things and we'll come visit you soon. Take care zee." He told him, kissing his head.

Zayn thanked them and said goodbye to Kennette before watching the four leave. He wrapped his arms around himself and turned around to face Liam. Rubbing at his arms, be sat down on a chair beside the bed, grabbing one of his lover's hands and placing a gentle kiss on the back of it.

"Please wake up soon." Zayn whispered softly and rested his forehead on top of it, closing his eyes and praying that his boyfriend was going to wake up soon enough. Wanting nothing more but to lay in his arms and hold him tightly.
