DON'T HURT ME DADDY (Harry Styles)

24

Harry had hardly moved all day. He was laying on the sofa, naked, except for his pull up. He got up a few times for a wee or to get changed, other than that he stayed put.

Louis was sitting close by, while his brothers were playing in the garden.

"Don't you want to play outside too Lou?" Liam asked.

Louis shook his head, looking at Harry. "No, I want to stay here in case Harry needs me." He said sadly. He really was a loving, caring brother.

He was missing the happy little boy who loved cuddles with his big brother. Louis wished he would recover quickly.

"I'm sure he won't mind, love. Go get some fresh air for a bit!" Lucy  said.

Louis sighed and got up, walking to the door slowly, making it out to play football for a bit.

"I'm worried about Lou!" Lucy said to Liam as he put his arm around her. "He's always so down when Harry's ill."

"I know, guess it shows just how much he loves him."

Harry was fidgeting quite a bit as they talked. It hadn't gone unnoticed.

"I should wake him soon, nearly time for his meds." Lucy said as she reached forward to get her cup off tea.

Harry started whimpering.

"Harry...you ok baby?" Lucy asked, she got up and sat on the floor next to him. His back was covered in beads of sweat. His hair was soaking wet. She felt his forehead. "I'm sure he feels hotter than before!" She fretted. "Can you pass the thermometer please Li?"

Liam handed the item over and Lucy managed to get it in Harry's mouth. She waited for the beep then read the tiny screen.

"Oh god Li! His temps gone way up!" She yelled, starting to panic.

"It's ok, don't panic."

That's when Harry started fitting. It was a horrible thing, having to watch your helpless child seizing, but they couldn't do anything, but make sure he didn't hurt himself.

"Call an ambulance Li!" Lucy shouted, as Liam picked up his phone, with shaky hands and dialled 999.

*****

The sound of the sirens bought the boys indoors.

"Mum...Dad... what's happened?" Louis cried as he saw the paramedics dealing with Harry on the floor.

He was unconscious, very pale, sweating and now and then he would shake.

Liam had called his Mum to come and watch the boys. They knew this was serious, so both of them would accompany Harry to the hospital.

His Mum arrived in record time, before they had left in the ambulance.

"Why can't we see him Li?" Lucy was crying into Liam's shirt.

"Let the doctor's see to him first, I'm sure it won't be long." He tried to reassure her, but he kind of needed reassuring himself.

He wiped tears away, wanting to be strong for his wife.

"Mr and Mrs Payne?" A young nurse with long dark hair and blue eyes appeared where they were waiting.

"Y-Yes!" Lucy stuttered.

"Follow me please"

They followed the nurse down a corridor at the end of a hall, and went into a room, with just one bed inside.

When they went in, they saw their tiny boy laying in bed. He had two IVs in his hands. He looked very ill. His skin was a deathly grey.

They were fearing the worst.

"Please...take a seat." The doctor said. He must've been in his thirties, had brown curly hair and brown eyes.

"What's wrong with him?" Liam asked, holding Lucy's hand as tight as possible without hurting her.

"I see from Harry's notes that he had a bladder infection. I'm afraid it's progressed to a kidney infection."

"But...the seizure?" Liam asked.

"Children can be prone to seizures when they have a high temperature. Harry's was 103.6 when he was brought in, that's more than likely the cause of it. Obviously, we need to keep a check on that."

"Is this infection serious then?" Liam asked.

"Fairly. He'll need to stay here until he's better. He's in quite a bit of pain, so we've given him painkillers as well as the antibiotics. We've placed a catheter in him too." The couple nodded.

"Can we stay with him? Is that allowed? He won't want to be alone. He's been through a lot!" Lucy asked.

"Yes, I see from his notes, about his past. That won't be a problem, but I'm afraid only one of you can stay in the room overnight."

"We can take turns. You stay tonight love?" Liam asked, seeing as he didn't think Lucy could bear to be away from Harry.

"Ok. Can you go home and get some things for us?"

"Course love. I'll go now. I'll be straight back." Liam left the room, running out of the hospital, to his car that he had followed the ambulance in.

*****

Lucy was sat at Harry's bedside, holding his tiny hand in hers, kissing it over and over.

"Mumma is here darling. You won't be alone. You'll never be alone. We love you so much. We just need you to get better and come home. You can do that... can't you baby?"

She felt Harry's fingers move in her hands, but he didn't wake up. At least he heard her though.

"Please get better!"  Lucy wept.

I always love writing sick fics, don't know why.

Hope you're enjoying the story.

All the love xxx
