Hope you are all well! Much love!

Niall and Kristyn were engaged, and Kristyn was currently at the orthodontist waiting to get her braces off. Niall wasn't with her, because he had to do some stuff in the studio for "Heartbreak Weather." Kristyn was alright with him not being with her, because she was terrified of the dentist, but she was typically okay with the orthodontist. She sat in the seat, and was more than ready to get her braces off. She was getting impatient when her orthodontist, Dr. Jason, came into the room. "Hey Kristyn! Are you ready to get your braces off?" Dr. Jason asked as he sat down on his chair. "Absolutely!" Kristyn said as he gloved up. "Okay! I'm just going to check your bite and everything and make sure you're good to go then," Dr. Jason explained and Kristyn nodded and opened so he could examine everything. "Everything looks great!" he said after looking around, and then grabbing the tools to take them off. Kristyn was relieved when she felt them finally off, and he cleaned them for really good for her. She ran her tongue over them as he reached to hand her the mirror. "They look great!" Dr. Jason said as Kristyn looked to see herself. "They do! Thank you!" Kristyn said still inspecting them. "No problem! Here are your retainers, and you'll also need to get your wisdom teeth taken out soon," Dr. Jason deadpanned, and Kristyn's heart dropped at the news. She nodded as her stomach turned in a knot, and they said quick goodbyes. Kristyn knew she needed Niall, and she went straight to the studio from the appointment.

Kristyn drove quickly to the studio, and made her way into the room he was in. Niall was writing music with someone when he saw Kristyn walk in the door, and he went to hug her. "Hey babe! Can I see your teeth?" he asked excitedly, and Kristyn flashed him a quick smile. "They look great!! Are you okay? What's wrong?" Niall asked as he noticed how nervous Kristyn looked. "The orthodontist said I have to have my wisdom teeth pulled...you know how afraid of the dentist I am," Kristyn said looking down at her feet, and Niall felt awful for her. He was quick to pull her in close to him, and rub a hand down her back. "It's okay, babe! It's a simple procedure! I had it a few years back, and it was a breeze. I'll go with you," Niall smiled and Kristyn nodded as she made eye contact with him. He grabbed her hand, and he walked her over to the couch to sit with him. After a while longer of working on the album, the two of them headed home. "I'm going to go ahead and call to make your appointment," Niall said as they got settled in their  house. Kristyn sighed at his words, and knew she wasn't going to get out of it. Niall dialed Dr. Todd, their dentist, and waited as a receptionist answered. "Hi! I'm Niall Horan, I'm calling on behalf of my fiancé, Kristyn. We need to set up an appointment for her to get her wisdom teeth taken out," Niall explained to the lady as he put her on speaker while he took his shoes off. "Okay! Let me check our schedule!" she said and they heard her typing on the line. Kristyn took a breath in an attempt to calm her anxiety, but it was hard. "Looks like we can get her in tomorrow!" the receptionist said, and Niall looked at Kristyn. Her heart sank all over again at the news, but she nodded in agreement knowing it needed to be done sooner than later. "That sounds great!" Niall confirmed with the lady, and they got the details worked out. Niall went straight over to Kristyn and held her close. He knew how nervous she was, and he felt awful.

The next morning, the alarm went off super early. Kristyn rolled over to turn it off as she huffed at the noise. "Morning, babe," Niall said waking up. "Morning," Kristyn said. She was already feeling anxious, and her stomach was turning since she knew she couldn't eat anything. "Do I have to do this?" Kristyn asked already knowing the answer. "I'm afraid so babe," Niall replied to her. "I hate this," Kristyn said looking at the ceiling as she referred to the surgery. "I know, babe. But it'll be over before you know it," Niall comforted and then they got up to get ready. Kristyn made her way out to the car as she followed Niall, and was clambering to try and find a way out of her dreaded future, but it was no use. So, she buckled up and tried to steady her breathing on the drive to the office. They arrived about ten minutes later, and Kristyn was thinking about how she wished the car ride had been longer. "Ready?" Niall asked as he parked the car. "No, but I guess I don't have a choice," she said as she unbuckled and followed him in. She signed herself in, and then they made their way to sit in the horrendously uncomfortable waiting room seats for her name to be called. "Kristyn?" an assistant said as she opened the door, and Niall and Kristyn both stood up. "I'm sorry, you can't come back with her," the assistant stopped him, and Niall nodded. "That's fine," Niall said taking a step back, and Kristyn looked at him. "You're going to be fine. I promise," Niall said kissing her, and she walked back hesitantly with the assistant. The assistant had everything sat up and ready to go while they waited for Dr. Todd to walk in. A few minutes later, Dr. Todd walked in the room, and he was carrying the IV in his hand. The moment Kristyn's eyes went to the needle, she started bawling. "What's wrong?" Dr. Todd asked seeing her so upset. "I want Niall, I want Niall," she repeated over and over again, and Dr. Todd tried to talk to her to get her mind off of things, but it wasn't working. Dr. Todd leaned her back in the chair, and then he started to try and give her the IV. "Okay, just a little pinch," he said, but Kristyn wasn't having it. She continued to repeat "I want Niall," every time he went to put the needle in, and he finally gave up and decided to have the assistant get Niall from the waiting room.

The dental assistant returned seconds later with Niall, and Niall saw the sobbing and crying state that Kristyn was in. "What's wrong, babe?" Niall asked as he went over to the chair and sat down next to her as he grabbed her hand. "I saw the IV needle and I freaked out, Niall. I can't do it, Niall! All I can focus on is the needle," Kristyn said, getting herself even more worked up. "Hey, everything will be alright!" Niall said looking straight into her eyes, and gained Kristyn's full attention as he worked to calm her down, and it worked. "Ready?" Dr. Todd asked with a smile, and Kristyn nodded as Niall continued to keep her mind off the IV that Dr. Todd was putting in her hand. "Great! It's in! Now, can you open up for me so I can put the mouth prompt in?" Dr. Todd asked, and Kristyn did just that. "Awesome! Now, we wait," Dr. Todd said as they waited for Kristyn to fall asleep. Kristyn fell asleep shortly later, and Niall stood up to return to the waiting room. "I'm sorry for Kristyn's behavior, she is just really afraid of needles and the dentist," Niall apologized before he left. "Oh, it isn't a problem! I see this kind of thing all the time!" Dr. Todd assured and Niall went back to the waiting room as Dr. Todd started the procedure.

About an hour later, Dr. Todd returned to the waiting room to retrieve Niall. "She did great! She should be waking up soon!" Dr. Todd explained as he took Niall back to the room Kristyn was in. Niall entered the room, and sat down next to Kristyn as he waited for her to wake up. He held her hand as he waited, and she finally woke up a little later. "Hey babe! Are you ready to go?" Niall asked Kristyn as he moved some hair out of her face. Kristyn nodded and Niall stood up to get the assistant. She came walking in with a wheelchair, and Niall helped Kristyn stand and move into it. "Alright, to the car," Niall said pushing his fiancé, and then helping her get situated. He drove them home, and got her in and laid on the couch. He cuddled her for a while, and Kristyn snuggled into him deeply. When it started getting late, Niall looked down at Kristyn who was beginning to doze off again. "Ready for bed, baby?" Niall asked kissing her head, and she nodded under his touch. "Alright!" he said as he brought her up the stairs, and they climbed into bed together. "Thank you for taking care of me, I love you," Kristyn said as Niall turned the lamp off. "Don't thank me, its my pleasure! And I love you too!" Niall said before cuddling her as close as humanly possibly and they fell asleep cuddling happily.
