Hope you are all well! Much love!
Niall and Kristyn Horan were very happily married, and they knew everything about each other. So, when Kristyn started acting a little weird, Niall knew immediately that something was off. "You alright babe?" Niall asked as he sat down next to Kristyn on the couch. "I'm okay," she smiled trying to hide her secret that she had been having some pretty intense mouth pain. "I know better than that," he said kissing her cheek, and when she tried to cover up a groan of pain, he found out exactly what was bothering her. "Is your mouth hurting, babe?" he asked looking at her, and she sighed knowing she couldn't keep the secret any longer. The whole morning she had been trying to cover up the fact that she was in such horrendous pain; she only ate soft foods, she would hide the fact that she was holding her jaw from pain, and she was careful not to talk too much. "Yeah, it's bothering me," she admitted after a second. "You need to go to the dentist," Niall said getting concerned for his wife as he reached over and grabbed her hand. "No, Niall. I'm fine. It's just a little pain," Kristyn argued back. Kristyn was terrified of the dentist, and Niall knew that. "Please, babe, you don't need to let mouth pain just sit like that, we need to figure out what's going on," he said back to her, and Kristyn shook her head. "I'm fine, Niall! I'm sure it'll be gone by tomorrow," she said but she knew that wasn't true, because it had only gotten worse over the past few days. "Kristyn, I know you're scared, but I promise everything will be alright. Plus, I'll be with you!" Niall encouraged after they had gone back and forth about it for a few minutes. Kristyn thought about it and finally nodded knowing that Niall was right. "Okay, let's go get you checked out," Niall said kissing her gently, and going to put his shoes on.
The ride to the dentist was silent. Niall held Kristyn's hand as he drove, and rubbed his thumb over her knuckles to try and help soothe her nervousness. He played some music lowly in the background, and Kristyn tried to settle her nerves. The drive to the office seemed too short as they pulled into the familiar gray building. Kristyn could feel her heart starting to pound a little, and she rubbed her arm nervously as Niall parked the car. "Ready, babe?" he asked taking the keys out of the ignition. "I guess so," Kristyn said and got out of the car. Niall walked around and met her at the end of the car, and grabbed her hand as they walked into the office together. "It's alright," he whispered to her as they stood at the front desk, and signed her in. "You can take a seat, and you'll be called back shortly," the receptionist smiled, and they thanked her as they walked over to the seats. Niall kept a hand on Kristyn's bouncing knee, and held her hand with it simultaneously. Kristyn tried to distract herself by looking through an old magazine that was on the table next to her, but gave up when it wasn't easing her fears any, and she tossed it back on the table. They sat a bit longer waiting for her name to be called, and shortly the door opened. "Kristyn?" the dental assistant asked as she looked in the room. Niall smiled at Kristyn as he stood up, and she followed suit and walked to the door, and they followed the dental assistant back.
"So, first, we are going to just get a few x-rays," the assistant said as they got back to an exam room. "Okay," Kristyn said as she sat down in the dental chair. "Okay, just bite down on this for me," she said putting the piece in for her to bite onto. She got Kristyn set up and took the x-rays, and then she took them and sat them in Kristyn's file. "I'll have Dr. Todd review these, and he will be right in," she smiled before she walked to the door. "Thank you," Kristyn said as she walked out. Kristyn waited and shifted nervously in seat, and Niall sat in the chair next to the dental chair and held her hand. "Hi guys! How are y'all doing?" Dr. Todd asked as he walked in, and put some gloves on. "Pretty good!" Niall answered. "I'm alright," Kristyn smiled as she wiped her now sweating hands on her pants. "Good deal! So, I looked over your x-rays, and I looks like you're going to need two root canals," Dr. Todd announced with a frown. Kristyn immediately started bawling at the news. When Kristyn heard the words "root canals" she knew that it was going to be a lengthy procedure, and on top of that, it meant needles as well. "Hey, hey, it's okay," Niall said as he pulled Kristyn into a hug. "It's going to be alright, baby! Shh," Niall said as he rubbed her back, and rocked them side to side a little. "I'm right here," Niall said pulling back a little to wipe Kristyn's tears. Niall did everything in his power to comfort Kristyn, and Dr. Todd got an idea. "How about you let me give you some laughing gas? It'll help relax you," Dr. Todd offered and Kristyn nodded. "Okay," he smiled and pulled the oxygen nub over her nose. "Okay, nice slow deep breaths," he instructed and Niall kissed her cheek. "Follow me," Niall said breathing with her nice and slow like instructed. "Great job, Kristyn! Now, I'm going to put this mouth prompt in, so you don't have to hold your mouth open the whole time," Dr. Todd explained and Kristyn opened so he could place it. "Alright, now you can relax," he said and tried to focus on Niall to distract herself from him prepping the needles.
"You're doing great, baby!" Niall encouraged his still crying wife. "You are! Okay, Kristyn, you're going to feel a small pinch, okay?" Dr. Todd said and Kristyn's heart pounded even more as she saw him bringing the needle closer to her mouth. "Okay, here we go," he said gently poking her with the needle which resulted in Kristyn crying even more. "Hey, baby, it's alright!" Niall said fumbling for an idea to help calm her. "I see us in black and white, crystal clear on a star lit night, in all your gorgeous colors, I promise that I'll love you for the rest of my life," Niall started singing, and he was relieved to see that it calmed Kristyn down a little bit. He continued to sing to her, and he held her hand tight. Dr. Todd let the numbing sit, and when he knew that she was numb, he got straight to the procedure. "Close your eyes, babe," Niall said and continued to hum to her, and eventually Kristyn fell asleep during the procedures.
"Thank you, doc!" Niall said after Dr. Todd finished everything. "No problem!" he said as he shook Niall's hand. "I'll see you guys soon," Dr. Todd said as Niall picked his out cold wife up, and carried her out to the car. He gently sat her in the car seat and buckled her in, and then drove them home. He put the car in park, and carried Kristyn into their house. After shutting the door with his foot, he walked them up to their room and laid her down on their shared bed. He slid his shoes off and laid down next to Kristyn, and pulled her as close as humanly possibly and fell asleep himself. They slept for a few hours, and he woke up to Kristyn moving under him. "Hey baby!" he said as he pushed her hair off her forehead. "Hey," she said lowly and yawned as she stretched. "How's your mouth?" Niall asked knowing Dr. Todd said there was a possibility of her being in some pain. "Sore," she said and Niall nodded as he leaned over to the nightstand and grabbed the medicine and water bottle he had previously set out. "Here you go, babe," he said and Kristyn smiled at him. "Thank you, Niall," she said after taking the medicine. "Know what might help?" Niall said cheerfully as he got an idea. "What's that?" Kristyn smiled at his cuteness. "Hot tub," he said with a huge smile. "Say no more!" Kristyn said as they got out of the bed, and got their bathing suits on. They went down to the hot tub and cuddled close as they watched the sunset. "I love you," Kristyn said as she looked up at Niall. "I love you!" Niall replies snuggling her closer.
The two of them sat in the hot tub for quite a while, and then they decided it was time to go in after the sun had fully set. Niall got another idea as they were drying off and putting on some comfortable clothes; Kristyn loved her brother Liam, also Niall's bandmate and of course friend, so he decided he would invite him over to hang out. "Hey!" Niall said as Liam answered his phone. "Hey mate, what's up?" Liam asked. "I was going to see if you wanted to come over and hang out for a while. Kristyn had to have some root canals today, so I know she would absolutely enjoy seeing you, it would get her mind off of things. Plus, we just want to see you! We could watch movies or something!" Niall explained and Liam nodded. "Of course, I'll be right there!" Liam said sliding his shoes on and driving to their house. "Hey sis!" Liam said walking in, and she ran over and hugged him. "Hey Liam!" she said and he kissed her cheek. "You doing alright?" Liam asked as he followed them into the living room to sit down. "I'm doing alright, little sore from the dental work, but Niall has been taking great care of me. It's so great to see you!" she said and Liam smiled. "It's great to see you guys too!" he said. It wasn't uncommon for them to see Liam often, but it was always nice to see each other nonetheless of how often. "Let's put on a movie!" Niall said and they all liked that idea. They decided on watching Disney movies, and as they first one started, Kristyn laid her head in Niall's lap. Niall's hand immediately went to her hair as he ran his fingers through it, and Liam watched them with a smile. The rest of the night they watched movies, and enjoyed each other's company as Kristyn recuperated from the day's events.
