Chapter 5

“Dad! Wake up! The doctor is here.” MG shook her father awake and Liam opened his eyes sleepily. The doctor from yesterday was in the room and Liam looked around. Niall was awake, sitting up; looking better than yesterday.

“Good morning. I am here to make sure Mr. Horan here is in good standings to go home.” They doctor went over to Niall and moved MG off the bed. MG had changed into some of her pajamas she and Perrie had bought.

Liam watched him check up on Niall. After looking over him, he gave him some medicine to take. It was a lot of medicine- 3 tablets and 3 teaspoons of something liquid.

“You are fine to go home. He will probably be a little tired and feeling sick from the medicine. It is just for his lungs and everything. If anything happens this week regarding his breathing, please do not hesitate to bring him in.” The doctor shook Liam’s hand and Liam thanked him.

Niall got up out of the hospital bed and felt weak. He stumbled and held on to Liam’s arm as he stood up and walked to the door. Madeline-Grace looked from Liam to Niall in great concern. She had been awake when they were talking to Louis. She had kept her eyes closed and listened intently.

Liam buckled Niall into the backseat. MG slid in alongside him and sat in the middle seat. Niall was out of it, his head dropping and then snapping up as his eyes opened.

“Daddy, go to sleep. It’s Ok. We are gonna go home and then you can sleep in your own bed after you eat some real food.” MG sounded scared, but her face didn’t show it.

“MG, baby, do you want to sit up here with me?”

“Uh huh.” She got out really quickly and went to the passenger seat.

“You Ok babe?”

“Uh… yeah. I’ll tell you later.”

“Ok sweets.” Liam kissed her forehead and started driving. Niall was on the meds and they were taking effect.

“Liam, ‘m tired but my tummy hurts.” The 30-year-old said unhappily. He had lain down across the backseat bench and had his arms tightly around his stomach.

“Hang in there babe. We are almost home. Yell if you feel like you are going to be sick.” Liam looked in the rearview mirror at his boyfriend. His eyes softened and he started to frown. The doctor had said that he would be tired and feeling horrid, but it didn’t seem right.

“LIAM!!!! Pull over!!!!” Niall screamed, sitting up really fast. MG plugged her ears and squeezed her eyes shut. Liam pulled over to the side of the road and Niall got out. He squatted down and put a hand over his mouth. Liam got out and stood in front of MG’s window so she wouldn’t see.

FLASHBACK

“MG baby, do you want to go out for dinner?” her mother asked from the front seat.

“Yes Mummy!!!”

“Where?”
