Hope you are all well!
Niall Horan and Kristyn were engaged, and he was currently not on tour. During times that Niall wasn't on tour, he was a dentist as a side job. It kept him occupied while he was on breaks from tour, and also brought in some extra money, plus Niall just really enjoyed it. Kristyn was really proud of all of Niall's many accomplishments, but she was terrified of the dentist. It was one of her biggest fears. Kristyn knew she hadn't been to the dentist in quite sometime, but Kristyn wouldn't have ever told Niall that, because she knew he would make her go. That's why when she started having awful aching pain in her mouth, she knew she couldn't tell Niall. Kristyn woke up with her mouth absolutely throbbing, and immediately began to panic. She laid in the bed and contemplated what to do. She decided the only option she had was to try and hide it from Niall. So, she did everything she could to keep him from noticing. Everything was going well until Niall got hungry, and made the two of them dinner. "Hey Kristyn," he called from the kitchen. "Yes, babe?" Kristyn asked, her mouth hurting as she said it. "I made dinner. Come eat," Niall said sweetly as he sat her plate on the table. Kristyn's heart sank, she couldn't even think about eating right now with the pain that was radiating in her mouth. "Okay," she said getting up anyway, and hoping it was something soft. Unfortunately, she saw that it wasn't going to be easy to eat at all. Niall had made hamburgers, something Kristyn usually loved, but it was making her sick to her stomach to think about eating currently. "Thank you, baby!" Kristyn said as she sat down at the table. "No problem!" Niall said taking a bite of his hamburger. Kristyn tried to take a bite, but instantly regretted it. Niall noticed Kristyn's grimace of pain, and he cocked his head to the side in confusion. "What's wrong, babe?" Niall asked her as he sat down his food. Kristyn sighed and finally came clean saying, "my mouth has been killing me all day. It's like my teeth and jaw are throbbing." "Why didn't you tell me sooner, baby?" Niall asked her with a concerned look. "I...my old dentist was really terrible...he was abusive and would hurt us and stuff, and it's just made me really afraid of the dentist...I was afraid if you found out what was going on, that you would make me go to get it checked," Kristyn said and then went into more detail of what her old dentist did. Niall stood up and came over to her, and pulled her into a hug, and he could feel her shaking. "Everything will be okay," Niall said as he pulled away to look her in the eyes. "I promise, but let's go get it checked," he said smiling and kissing Kristyn on the nose as she nodded nervously.
Niall drove Kristyn to his office, and turned on the lights. "We will start with some x-rays and just a general exam," Niall smiled as he told her everything he was doing. "None of this will hurt, I promise. I'm just looking, okay?" he said and Kristyn nodded as he put the bit in to take her x-rays. After looking at her x-rays and in her mouth, Niall finally had a solution. "Well, it looks like you need your wisdom teeth removed and then four other teeth," he said sitting down on the stool. Kristyn felt her stomach turn at the news, and her panic worsened. "Also, your teeth are a little crooked and you have a small overbite," Niall told her as he looked at her x-rays some more. "I used to have braces years ago, but my dentist never gave me retainers," Kristyn explained to Niall. "You'll need braces again," he told her and she nodded. Since Niall still had braces and his were clear, Kristyn asked if she could have some like his, and he agreed. "It's okay," he smiled as he started getting some needles set up with numbing solution. "Would you rather be asleep or stay awake?" he asked as he got ready to start. "Stay awake. I don't really like the idea of not knowing what you're doing," Kristyn said nervously, and Niall laughed a little. "Okay, babe. I'll get you started on some laughing gas," he said pulling the nub over her nose, and then gloving up. "Now, you just breathe that in, and can you open up for me, baby?" Niall asked as he was ready. Kristyn opened up, and she was doing really good until the needle hit her gum. The second it made contact, Kristyn tensed up and started crying. "Hey, you're doing great, babe!" Niall encouraged as he numbed. "Everything is okay, Kristyn. You're still doing great, babe!" Niall said rubbing her shoulder between shots. Then, Niall moved back to numb her wisdom teeth and he got a stronger numbing medication. "Okay, babe. These are going to take just a little longer to do," Niall said and Kristyn nodded as he started. He was right, these hurt a lot more too. Kristyn cried the whole time he was numbing her, and Niall felt awful. "It's alright, baby! You are okay! You're doing so good, you are almost done," Niall said over and over as he tried to hurry and finish up.
Niall finally started numbing and was ready to start on the procedures. "Alright, babe. We are starting," he said wiping her tears gently, and then getting started on removing the teeth. It didn't take long for Kristyn to exhaust herself from the crying, and she eventually fell asleep while Niall was doing the removals. Niall went ahead and put her braces on, and got everything finished as quickly as he could. Niall woke up Kristyn after he finished, and he smiled at her. "You're all done! You did great, babe! Ready to see your braces?" he asked and she nodded as she felt the weird sensation from them in her mouth. "Here you are," he said handing her a mirror. Kristyn inspected the clear braces as Niall said, "they look good!" "Thank you! I don't like the way they feel," Kristyn said running her tongue over them. "You only have to wear them for eight months, just to correct your overbite," Niall said and she smiled. "Okay," she smiled as they got up and left after Niall cleaned up.
After Niall drove them home, they walked in and headed up to their bed. They held each other close, and fell asleep for the night. The next morning, Niall felt Kristyn shifting under his arms. "Good morning, babe. How are you feeling?" Niall said kissing her forehead. "Sore," she said rubbing her cheek. Niall hopped up and brought her some medicine, and made sure to take great care of her for the next few days.
