Full Circle

Chapter 4

On the drive home Niall had instructed Liam to try and keep Louis from sleeping. He didn't have much luck as his brothers eyes kept rolling back. Liam was relieved when they pulled into their driveway. "You go ahead and open the door Li" Niall told his son. When Liam had got out Niall went and put Louis arm round his neck before carrying him in.

Harry couldn't help but gasp when he saw Louis, he slapped his hand over his mouth as he composed himself. "Lie him here" he said quietly once he'd composed himself. Niall lay him on the sofa and put him in the recovery position before he went to get some ice and a wet cloth to try and clear up some of the blood.

Harry knelt down by Louis and pushed his fringe back, soothing him as best as he could. "What have you done Lou" he said softly, Louis groaned in response before his eyes rolled back and he closed them.

Niall handed Harry the ice pack which he held softly on the egg on his sons forehead. Liam stood to the side watching on in horror as his brother deteriorated. His dads were speaking in hushed, stressed voices which made things worse because he didn't know what was going on.

All of a sudden Louis shallow breathing became more laboured and he started being sick again. "I'm calling for an ambulance" Niall said as Louis began to shake. Harry nodded and continued to comfort his son. "You're okay sweetie" he whispered as Louis let out a gurgling noise at the back of his throat. Liam suddenly came next to his dad and helped pay his twins brother which helped bring up the sick he was choking on. Harry smiled "thank you" he whispered although to broke his heart because it was obvious how Liam knew what to do. "I'm going to get a few things together before the paramedics arrive, are you okay here?" Harry asked as he hear Niall ending the phone call. Liam nodded and took over from his dad comforting his comatose brother the best he could.

Niall was waiting at the end of the drive for the ambulance and could have cried with happiness when they arrived. He led them to Louis who was now tinged blue and shaking. They instantly got to work taking the boys vitals and setting up an IV as well as oxygen. They were also asking Liam questions about what he had been drinking and how he had hurt his head. When they had finished they took him in the ambulance to the hospital. Harry rode with him and Niall drove him and Liam.

When Liam and Niall arrived Harry was in the waiting room alone and crying. "Where is he?" Niall asked wrapping his husband into a hug. He shrugged, "they said they would come and get us when he is stable" he whispered.

The doctors were giving Louis fluids and checking his vitals to see if there had been any changed. Not only were they concerned about the alcohol poisoning but his lip needed stitching and they were worried he had given himself concussion. After half an hour the doctor came out and brought them to see Louis. "I'm Dr. Kline" he introduced himself, "your some is stable for now, he is very lucky not to be in a coma or worse. With the amount of alcohol in his system it is a miracle." He explained, "he's currently receiving fluids and oxygen".
"Why is he still shaking?" Liam asked anxiously.
"It's just a side effect from the poisoning as he comes round that should stop" he reassured them, "but he do need to keep a close eye on him because he's given himself a nasty concussion" he said.
"Oh Lou" Harry said, "I can't believe this has happened".
"I can" Liam said sadly. Niall just wrapped him in a hug and for the first time that night Liam let himself break down.
