Hope you are all well! Much love!!
It was certainly no secret that Liam was afraid of the doctor, and the boys knew that. Unfortunately for Liam, he was due for a checkup and leading up to the appointment, he was a nervous wreck. "I still don't see why I have to do this, I feel fine," Liam said sitting in the waiting room. "Because, it's still important to get your yearly checkup to make sure you're healthy, babe," Louis said leaning over and kissing Liam on the temple. "Liam Payne?" the nurse asked as she opened the door. "Ugh," Liam said as he stood up with the boys. He hadn't slept much the night before, his heart was pounding, and he was shaking like a leaf. "You're okay!" Harry whispered to him as they followed the nurse into the exam room. "I hate this," Liam said back in return, and Harry laughed a little at him. "Okay, just take your shoes off for me really quick and stand on the scale," she said and measured how tall he was and his weight. "Great, now I'm just going to have you cover each eye and read the chart off across the room for me," she said, and Liam held his hand over his eye. "A, P, Q, D, F, C, N," he read off perfectly. "Great! Now, you can just take a seat on the bed for me," she said, and Liam looked to the boys for comfort immediately. "I'm just going to take your blood pressure and ask you a few questions," she explained knowing that Liam seemed nervous. "O-okay," he said holding his arm out for her. "Blood pressure is perfect! Okay, how would you say your diet is? Are you getting plenty of fruits and vegetables?" she asked as she opened his chart. "I am!" he said and explained what he typically ate in a day to her. "Okay! How much exercise do you get?" she asked. "I go on a run every morning, and I go to the gym several times every week. I play soccer, tennis, I get plenty," he explained, and she nodded. "Okay! The doctor will be right in!" she said, and Liam sighed a breath of relief that he had a second to calm down.
"Liam, you are doing so good, babe!" Niall said as he sat next to Liam on the bed. "You really are!" Zayn said to him. "We haven't even got to the worst part yet...I hate it here. Can't we just be done already? I think I'm perfectly healthy," Liam said, and Louis shook his head. "No, babe. We know you are nervous, but you need to do this," Louis said walking over and standing in front of Liam holding his hands. "I really hate this. I just wish they didn't have to do checkups...plus, the lady told me that I'm probably due for shots when I called to make the appointment," Liam said as he shuttered in fear. "Baby, even if you do have to get shots, it's just going to be a quick pinch. Plus, we are going to be right here with you the whole time," Harry said as he walked over to where they were all standing, as well as Zayn. "Thanks... I-I just don't want to do this," Liam said as tears started to well up in his eyes. "Hey, don't cry," Niall said pulling Liam over to lay on his shoulder. Niall rubbed his back, and the doctor came in seconds later.
"Hi! Nice to see you guys again! How are we doing?" Dr. Denise asked as she washed her hands. "We are good! Liam's just a little nervous," Zayn explained to the doctor. "There's no need to be scared, you're going to be just fine! Niall, you can stay on the bed with him though if you want!" Dr. Denise said, and Niall nodded as Liam continued to lay on his shoulder. "Okay, I'm just going to have you sit up for me, and I'll check your eyes first," she smiled, and Liam sat up anxiously. Niall grabbed his hand, and the doctor grabbed the tool and shined the little light in his eyes. "Great! And you don't have any problems with vision, correct?" she asked. "Nope," Liam said as she reached over and grabbed the otoscope. "Good. I'm just going to have a quick look on your ears," she said. "All cleat there. Now, say 'ah' for me," she said picking up the tongue depressor. "Ah," Liam said opening his mouth as she put the popsicle stick in his mouth and checked. "Awesome! I'm just going to listen to your heart and lungs now," she said getting her stethoscope and running her palm over the medal part to warm it up. She lifted Liam's shirt and rested it on his chest. "Okay, take a few big deep breaths for me," she instructed, and Liam took a few as she moved the device along his chest and back. "Everything sounds great! Your heart is beating a little fast still, I can tell you're nervous! I promise, there's no reason to be scared, you're doing great!" she said, and Liam nodded trying to relax himself. "I'm just going to feel your lymph nodes," she said, and started running her hands along Liam's neck and throat. "Great!" she said and finished up anything else she needed to do quickly. "Okay! So, while I was looking over your chart, it appears that's you're going to need four shots," she said, and Liam's heart dropped. "Four shots?!" he asked, and Niall rubbed his back. "Yes, but I'll be super quick! It's just a small pinch," she smiled before walking out to get the needles.
"Four needles?!" Liam asked her again. "It's okay, baby! Please don't panic," Harry said as all of the boys went back to where he was sitting. "I can't do four shots! What am I supposed to do?!" Liam asked as his nerves began to get worse and worse. "All you're supposed to do is just relax," Louis said moving the bangs off his forehead. "I can't relax! I have to get out of here," Liam said about to hop off the bed, but Zayn walked in front so he couldn't get off. "Li, listen to me, babe. It's going to be alright," Zayn said taking Liam's face into his hands. "You are going to be just fine! We are all right here," Zayn said running his thumbs over Liam's cheeks. "Let's just do this later," Liam said as tears started to run down his face. "Shh, baby. Take a deep breath," Niall said still sitting next to him on the bed, and the doctor walked back in. "Awe, Liam. It's alright!" she said feeling awful that he was crying and nervous. "Let's just talk first," she said sitting down on her chair in the room and sitting the tray of needles down on the table. "Okay, so it's four shots. We will do two in your legs, one in each, and then two in your arms, one in each as well. It's just a tiny pinch, and the boys can do whatever they need to make you feel better," she smiled, and Liam looked at the boys who gave him reassuring nods. "O-okay," he said, and she smiled. "Okay! Let's get started," she said as she stood back up, and the boys assembled around him where they were out of the way. Niall continued sitting next to him on the end, Louis sat beside him in the other side, and Zayn and Harry stood close by, so they could continue talking to him and he could see them. "Alright, we will do the first one in your right arm," she said lifting his sleeve up. "Now, I'm just rubbing the alcohol swab on," she said, and Liam watched her. Niall grabbed his left hand again, and Liam squeezed as Dr. Denise picked up the needle. "Okay, just relax your arm for me. Take a deep breath in," she said, and when he did, she inserted the needle. "Ow," he said quietly. "Not too bad though, right?" she asked, and he nodded a little as she put a bandaid on. "Left arm now," she said as she cleaned his arm off, and Louis got his right hand. "Okay deep breath in, 1,2,3," she said and got the needle in quickly. "Great! Two more!" she said, and she pulled his shorts leg up a little. "Okay, same thing. Deep breath in," she said, and Liam tucked his face into Louis neck. "One more!" she said, and Liam had only tensed up a little. "Okay. 1,2,3," she said, and finally Liam was done. "All done!" she said cleaning up everything, and Liam sighed in relief. "Thank you," the boys said before going out to the car. "Thank you boys for taking care of me," he said, and the boys all smiled at him. "Of course, Liam! We love you!" the boys said, and they went to get ice cream to celebrate their boyfriend doing so good at the doctor.
