Liam's Pov

"I'm afraid I have news on Ariella" he said and I felt like I may throw up. He looked nervous- as if he was going to give us bad news. If he was going to give us good news, than he would smile and be cheerful, so that we wouldn't worry. This can't be good. My head was spinning and my heart was pounding.

"The wound to her stomach has caused her to lose too much blood and he will not survive if she does not get the blood back into her system." He began, "Unfortunately, Ms. Ariella has a rare blood type that we do not provide here, so we cannot help her" He concluded, bowing his head.

Louis and I looked at the doctor in disgust and shock. What do you mean you can't help her? I mentally yelled. You're a doctor and this is a hospital so fix it! I continuing mentally yelling, not having the audacity to yell at a doctor. I've never heard of a hospital not carrying a blood type.

"What do you mean you can't help her? This is a hospital, isn't it your job?" Louis snapped at the doctor sassily, folding his arms over his bare chest. In any other situation, I would've snickered at his boldness and pulled him back, but this was my fiancé on the line.

"I'm sorry we don't provide her blood type" he said firmly, hugging his clipboard to his chest.

"What does that even mean?" Louis spat. "You're a hospital" Louis stated, "how can you not carry all blood types?" He scoffed, furiously.

"What blood type is she?" I asked nervously, cutting Louis off from his rant.

"O positive" the doctor replied, looking from Louis to me.

"I'm O positive!" Louis nearly shouted in his face. The doctor gave him a weird look, but took a deep breath and continued.

"Would you consider being a donor for Ariella?" He asked.

"Hell yeah, let's go" Louis answered sharply,  quickly ushering the doctor along. I breathed a sigh of relief, as did the other boys. Thank god for Lou

"thank you" I voiced sincerely, putting my hand on his shoulder.

"of course man, she's family" he said slapping my shoulder and handing me Ari's phone.

The boys stepped in front of the Doctor and bombarded him with questions such as, "when can we see her," and "is she even awake?" The doctor held his hands up, seeming stressed with all the questions.

"As soon as we get this young man's blood circulating through her body, you can see her" he said gesturing for Louis to walk in front of him. "First we have to prep him, test him and filter the blood to ensure its healthy so if you'll excuse us," he nodded and ushered Louis along and I watched until they disappeared through the back doors. I collapsed on the chair and breathed a half sigh of relief. The blood will be healthy and she will be okay, I told myself repeatedly.

"She's gonna be okay mate" Harry said, sounding happy for me. I smiled in relief, his words comforting me. I put my hands back behind my head and tried to relax, until I  suddenly remembered something important.
I bolted out of my chair and ran to the doctor before he shut the door.

"Wait!" I shouted after him "what about my baby?" I asked feeling fearful of the answer.
He sighed and looked at his stupid clipboard before delivering the news.

"I'm afraid the baby didn't make it Mr. Payne, and if we don't get this blood injected, neither will you wife" he said harshly, giving me a fake sympathetic smile and closing the door in my face.

Who the hell does he think he is?? I growled to myself, feeling the anger boil up inside of my. I turned and lightly punched the wall with the side of my fist in frustration.

"come on why don't we go outside?" Harry suggested, trying to guide me to the exit.

"No I'm fine" I said yanking myself from his grip before returning to my seat. I sat bent over with my elbows on my knees and my head on my hands, trying to clear my head.

"Wanna talk about it?" Niall generously asked, taking a seat beside me.

"The baby didn't make it" I growled, getting emotional- I hated crying in front of people, it was emasculating. I ran my hand over my face and sat back. "I didn't even know she was pregnant" I expressed, quietly. "And I didn't even know if I wanted to be a dad" I admitted, "the chance came and went too quick for me to process, but now that it's gone," I shrugged my shoulders and leaned forward again. "I want it back"

Niall put his hand in my back and patted it, reassuringly. "I'm sorry man," he soothed.

"Hey," Zayn interjected, sitting in my other side. "I know this isn't exactly what you want to hear, but just remember that Ariella barely escaped death" He reminded me, "If Louis hadn't given her that gun then the man would've used his knife and killed her. I know it's hard, I can only imagine how you feel right now," he admitted, seeming to put himself in my shoes, "but the important thing is that we're here for her, just like we're here for you." He finished, coming out of nowhere with that uplifting speech.

"What he said" Harry added with a small chuckle, smiling down at me.

"Thanks guys" I said graciously, lightening up a little "that means a lot and your completely right" I said smiling and dapping Zayn to show my appreciation.

"And besides" Harry began "you can make more babies!" He teased, trying to lighten the mood. I felt my cheeks grow slightly pink as I laughed at his stupid comment. Zayn and Niall on the other hand were clutching their sides laughing at his sense of humor.

I felt my pocket vibrate all of a sudden, and I pulled out Ariella's phone- Simon was calling.

"Hello?" I answered, clearing my throat.

"Ariella hello, I have received your calls and no I haven't been in touch with the boys but I don't want you to worr-"

"Simon it's me" I cut off his long ramble, sensing his nerves.

"What?" He questioned, stunned to hear my voice. "Liam? Where have you been?? We've been worried sick and your poor fiancé has been-"

"Simon we're fine," i interrupted him, "I'll explain everything" I told him, whispering to the boys to let them know who it was. I explained to Simon everything from the beginning at the hotel, to the doctor who just infringed us about Ariella and her blood type. The only thing I left out was the baby, because I didn't feel comfortable talking about that yet.

After what felt hours, I was done, and he took a few minutes to soak it all in. Just as he began to speak, Louis burst through the door with bandages covering his wounds.

"Guys Ariella is awake!"
