Hope you are all well! Much love!
The next morning after the wisdom teeth removal, Kristyn woke up and was in horrendous pain. Kristyn's mouth was absolutely throbbing, and it caused her to cry as soon as she felt the horrid sensation. Niall woke up to sniffles and sobs coming from the other side of the bed, and he took a second to gather his bearings when he realized Kristyn was crying. "Babe, what's wrong?" Niall said as he rolled over concerned as he heard her. "My mouth hurts a lot," she said as she held her cheek. "Awe, babe. I'm sorry! I'll be right back," Niall said as he ran downstairs to get her painkillers, water, and ice packs. "Here you go, babe. Try this," Niall said as she downed the medicine, and then he laid the ice packs on her cheeks. "How's that?" Niall asked as he climbed back in bed next to her. "Better. Thank you, babe," Kristyn said and he smiled at her as he said, "anything for you, babe!" And it helped Kristyn feel better a little better after a bit. They continued this process for the next week, but it hadn't worked much. It was enough to numb the pain for a little bit, but Kristyn was still really swollen and in tremendous pain. Kristyn felt like the pain had only gotten worse, and she hadn't slept very much at all during the week. Niall woke up one morning, and found Kristyn wide awake, and he could tell she's in pain. "Still hurting, babe?" Niall asked as he pulled her close, and she nodded. "We have to go back to see Dr. Todd," Niall said knowing something wasn't right; Kristyn shouldn't still be swollen and hurting so badly. Kristyn's heart dropped at the news, and she shook her head no. "It'll be okay, babe. You need to go through. I'll be with you the entire time," Niall said sitting up, and grabbing his phone to call the office. "Hi! This is Niall Horan, I'm calling on behalf of my fiancé, Kristyn. She had her wisdom teeth taken out a week ago, and she is still really swollen and it terrible pain," Niall explained and Kristyn sat as she heard the receptionist tell him to bring her in. "Okay! We will see you soon," Niall said hanging up, and Kristyn looked at him. "We are going to go in now, and they're going to take a look at it," Niall smiled at Kristyn comfortingly, but she was still nervous as ever.
After convincing Kristyn to go, Niall drove them to the office. He had a hand on her back to comfort her, and they got her signed in. Kristyn shook as she sat in the waiting room for the dental assistant to call her. She wasn't feeling good at all, and the last thing she wanted to do was be back at the place she hated the most. Niall kept a hand on her knee, and he could feel her shaking under his touch. "You're alright, babe," Niall said as the door opened, and an assistant emerged. "Kristyn?" she said and they stood. Kristyn felt her stomach churn, but she approached the door anyway and Niall was following behind her. "I'm sorry, sir. You can't go back," the assistant said, Kristyn's heart shattered into a million pieces. "Okay," Niall said with a frown and turned to look at Kristyn. "You need to be brave, Kristyn. You can do it, babe," Niall said and Kristyn started crying right then and there. "I need you," Kristyn said and Niall's heart broke as he moved to quickly pull her into a hug. "Everything will be alright, baby," Niall said as he embraced her. "I need you, babe. I can't do this without you," Kristyn replied and Dr. Todd happened to be walking past the door when he heard what was going on, and he popped his head into the waiting room where they still were. "Niall can come back with you," he said and Kristyn instantly felt better. "Thank you!" Niall said as they followed the assistant back to the room. They got into the room, and Kristyn sat down hesitantly in the exam chair. Niall sat right next to her, and grabbed her hand with a reassuring smile. A few seconds, Dr. Todd came in and started setting up. "So, I heard you are still experiencing a good deal of pain, and I can see you're still pretty swollen," he said as he leaned her chair back. Kristyn nodded as she watched his every move. "Okay, I'll just take a look then," he smiled as he grabbed his mirror and explorer after sitting down on the stool. "Open nice and wide for me," he directed as he got closer, and Kristyn went to open her mouth. She immediately regretted opening her mouth, and she winced because it was still so tender. Dr. Todd looked around, and it didn't take him long to identify the problem. "Niall, would you mind to walk out to the hall with me?" Dr. Todd asked as he took the tools out of Kristyn's mouth, and her face turned into a confused look. "Yes! I'll be right back," Niall smiled at Kristyn and let go of her hand as he followed Dr. Todd out into the hall. "What's going on, doc?" Niall asked when he saw Dr. Todd's concerned face. "It's worse than I have ever seen before. The stitches are grown over the sockets, and Kristyn has some puss pockets that need to be drained. Another problem is I need to numb her for this, because it would be very uncomfortable to deal with if I don't numb her," Dr. Todd explained with a sigh, and Niall nodded at him in response. "I'll go get the strongest numbing agent," Dr. Todd said before Niall re-entered the room with Kristyn. Kristyn looked at him knowing something was up, and Niall smiled at her as he sat back down and grabbed her hand. She was just about to speak up when Dr. Todd resurfaced, and her attention was immediately drawn to the needles in his hand. Kristyn whimpered and Niall ran his thumb over her knuckles. "Okay, Kristyn. So basically, what's going on is your gums are very infected, and you have some puss pockets that need to be drained. I need to numb you for this, cause it'll be very painful if I don't," Dr. Todd explained and Kristyn felt like she could throw up at the news. Kristyn immediately started crying, and Niall took that as his cue to move even closer to her. "Everything will be okay, babe," Niall said as he rubbed her hand more. "Can you open for me?" Dr. Todd asked feeling horrible for what was about to happen. Kristyn's eyes met with Niall's as she looked at him for reassurance, and he smiled at her. "You can do this," he encouraged and Kristyn trusted Niall, so she opened her mouth. "Great! Little pinch," Dr. Todd said as he started to numb Kristyn. The moment that needle hit her gums, she started crying and Niall tried to keep her mind off what was going on. "You're doing so good, Kristyn," Dr. Todd said powering through the numbing. "You're alright, babe. I'm right here," Niall said as he rubbed her shoulder, and Dr. Todd finally finished he numbing after what felt like an eternity. Dr. Todd worked quickly to get the stitches out, and drain the puss pockets. Niall continued to give her little encouraging words every once in a while, and it was making her feel much better. "Okay, Kristyn. I'm just cleaning everything out with some salt water, and you'll be good to go," Dr. Todd said as he rinsed everything really well. Kristyn was excited at the news, and was ready to just be back at home. "Great job!" he said a few short minutes later, and leaned the chair up. "That'll make you feel much better once the numbing goes away," Dr. Todd said as Niall helped her out of the chair. "Thank you, Dr. Todd," Niall said as they started out the door. "Thank you," Kristyn said and he nodded. "Anytime!" he said before they walked out and Niall took her home. "You did a great job!" Niall said as they walked into their home, and he shut and looked the door behind them. "Thank you!" Kristyn said with a weak smile as she made her way up to their bedroom, Niall walking closely behind her. They climbed into bed, and Niall pulled Kristyn close to cuddle. "I love you. Thank you for being there for me," Kristyn said and she snuggled closer to him. "Absolutely, babe! I love you too!" he said as he pulled her as close as humanly possible. They fell asleep happily in each other's arms, and luckily, Kristyn was feeling better when she woke up.
