32 Love Emse - 1d medical

5 januari 2011

"It doesn't feel right Alex," Gina whispered into her brother's ear. "You want her to grow up just like us?" Alex spat back making sure he didn't wake the two year old.

Gina slowly shook her head and continued walked behind her brother. Alex hold his 5 year old sister Esme sleeping in his arms.

"Esme doesn't deserve this and you know that Gina," Alex said holding back his tears, "the two of us can flee but she's too young and way to unstable for it."

The snow landed softly on Esme her skin while Alex softly wiped the white snow off her bloody face.

Alex wanted to safe his sister and didn't want her to ever feel it again.

When Alex came back from school with Gina, Esme was nowhere to be found.

He had yelled and screamed in their apartment and prayed for his sister to come back.

He was aware of the fact that their parents abused Esme and he wasn't keen on it.

He wanted to protect his baby sister but he knew he could only protect one person at the time.

When their parents returned with Esme, Alex was beyond shocked. She got burning spots all over her body, her face was covered in blood and she was limping.

Gina saw as well and quickly picked Esme up who was crying in her sister's shoulder.

"You'll be safe," Gina had spoken to her. She ran with Esme upstairs and quickly packed her small bag.

"What you doing?" Esme hickuped.

"Alex and I will make sure you're safe alright? You'll be sleeping with someone else for sometime and you'll love them."

Esme was to tired and wasn't progressing anything that Gina just said.

"Tired," Esme told as she yawned. Esme was getting herself more comfier and went sleeping.

Gina heard footsteps running on the stairs. "Oww God she's sleeping?" Alex pointed to Esme. Gina looked up and sadly nodded.

"We need to get her away right now," Alex told as he picked Esme up. Gina followed with the small bag and they went downstairs softly.

"You have a plan Alex?" Gina asked.

"We're here," Alex said as he came to a halt. Esme her feet were freezing cold and was covered in snow.

Gina looked up and saw that they were standing infornt of a big building. "Wait this is your fucking plan?" Gina asked.

Alex nodded and walked towards the entrance of the emergency room of the hospital.

He got a piece of paper out of his jacket and wrote something down on it. Love, Esme.

He laid his sister down together with her small bag just across the entrance on a bench. "Please Esme forgive me for what I'm about to do. You'll be safe here. Mom and dad can't handle kids so Gina and I will be leaving soon as well. Please be safe and kind to the people who will find you."

He placed a soft kiss on her head when he turned around. He furiously wiped the tears from his face.

"What do we do now? Wait?" Gina asked as her brother quickly walked past her.

"No. No we're not, I can't bare that right now. Let's head 'home'," Alex told as he aircoted the word home.

Gina turned around, waved to her little sister one last time and despeared behind her brother into the dark streets of London.

——————————————————

Liam just finished a small casus in a hectic shift. He was almost finished with his shift. He couldn't wait to go home and snuggle with his boyfriend, Louis, and 3 sons. Harry was their oldest who just turned 7. He had the most beautiful smile in the world and Liam hate to admit it but Harry got away with lots of things by just using his smile. Harry loved to bake with Louis and drawing, he was a creative lad to be fair.

Zayn was their middle child who was 6. He differed 10 months with Harry. He was shy and wasn't really talkative. He loved drawing and reading. He had a rough past and had been with Louis and Liam for only 5 months so Liam didn't blame the boy.

Niall, their youngest, was a different story. He was with Liam and Louis almost since the day he was born. He was 5 years old and a happy little lad. He had lovely blond hair and loved playing with his brothers. He was the most energetic 5 year old that Liam had ever met.

Liam walked outside the hospital. It was getting dark already and it was snowing. The weather predicted a blister at the end of the night. Liam walked across the hallway and stood outside the entrance in order to light up a sigrat.

"Oww come one," Liam spoke to himself as his lighter didn't work. After a few tries and swear words of Liam the lighter worked and Liam could be enjoying his sigrat. As he stood against the building he saw something right across the street. There was something placed on a bench. Liam, being completely himself and curious, died his sigrat and slowly walked towards the bench shivering from the cold.

He waited as an ambulance passed and now the shape became clear for Liam. It was a little human that was laying on the small bench. Liam quickly picked up his pace.

"Fuck fuck fuck," Liam swore as he reached the girl. He quickly checked for a pulse and looked around to see if someone was missing the girl or just left behind. He turned back to the girl and saw a note lying in her hand. 'Love, Esme' it stated. "Hey girl let's bring you inside yeah?"

Liam picked the girl up and that's when he noticed the bag covered under the snow. He quickly pulled it over his shoulder as he rushed inside the hospital. He knew this girl was getting hyperthermia and she needed to be examined by Liam.

He practically ran through the emergency doors into an empty cubicle, well at least Liam thought it would be empty. Liam's resident Mike was just sitting on the bed and doing some school assignments. He immediately shot up when Liam marched through the doors with an unconscious looking girl.

"Doctor Payne what on earth?" Mike asked clearly in a state of shock.

"Yeah I don't know either but get her fucking temp and set up the monitors. I think you'll need to leave the assignment for what it is and get into some practical work here," Liam said as he searched through her bag.

"Really no nothing?" Liam said clearly getting frustrated.

"What's wrong?"

Liam sighed and opened the little girl's hand. "Here," Liam pointed to the letter, "this letter belongs to her. It's the only thing I found including her backpack. I only know her first name. I don't know what she did their out there and if she was left behind or not. I have absolutely nothing. The only thing I do have are the wounds on her head. In order to make sure I got the right diagnosis I think we need to fully undress the girl."

Mike looked weird at his tutor. Yes he had seen lots of things in this neighborhood and he chose this emergency department because it was pretty diverse but an abandoned girl in the snow wasn't his top casus he hoped to get on.

" What are you insinuating?" Mike asked softly.

"I think her parents will never show up, I'll only have her front name and that she was abused by those who were supposed to love her," Liam sighed as he quickly wiped a tear away. He had been there several months ago with Zayn. He was brought in, well brought in not really more like thrown out of the car inform of Liam's feet while he had just gotten Niall for his checkup. Liam was shocked when the car drove away and left the boy there. They left him with no note no nothing, just like Esme her parents did. Liam didn't even know if Esme was her real name or from some else and that the Esme girl actually dropped the poor girl on the bench.

"Alright I'll be setting up an IV and see if I can wake her up," Liam spoke. As he pinched the IV in her hand and hung a bag of fluids he carefully made his way to the girl. She was wrapped up by Mike in a ton load of blankets and duvets. Still she was shivering. Liam felt bad for the girl and would love to take her home if she didn't have anywhere else to stay.

"Hey gorgeous can you open your eyes for me?" Liam asked as he carefully rubbed her sternum. The girl was moving around a bit and slowly woke up.

"Hello to you my beautiful lady. You're in the hospital. What's your name love? My name is Liam and that's Mike."

"Esme," Esme softly spoke. "Alright Esme," Liam said as he began to write things down, "do you know what happend?"

Esme knew what happend. She knew every singel detail. She trusted this Liam bloke but she knew what she would be getting if she spoke. She would be getting punishment, worse and worse for eveytime she spoke. Today guys had burned her with candle wax and died sigrats out on her fragile body. One guy actually bend her knee the complete opposite way and she even heard it snap.

Esme just stared at Liam. And wasn't giving anything price to him. Liam sighed being here before.

"Alright Mike I want you to check the camera of the entrance. It looks like she has been placed there between 4 pm and half past 4. So it's only half an hour watch. Call me if you know something," Liam ordered wanted Esme to feel safe and just spit the whole story to her. Mike nodded and left of to the security department.

" Hey Esme," Liam softly said and sat down next to her on a chair," you hurt girl?" Esme looked at Liam with tears in her eyes. Liam sighed and stood up in order to pull her in a hug. "You're safe," Liam spoke as he kissed her forehead, "you hurt somewhere?"

Esme pointed to her leg. Liam nodded and pulled the duvets of Esme since she was warmed up enough. When Liam did that Esme began to shiffer but that was normal.

"I need to undress you to see Esme. I'll leave your underwear on," Liam spoke afraid of the reaction of her. He knew that if Esme was actually absuded, she wasn't keen on Liam undressing her. Esme looked with begging eyes at Liam to not do it but Liam shared a sad look with Esme and told her he needed to do it.

" I'll be gentle," Liam spoke as Esme still looked with bloodshot eyes towards him. She wanted to refuse so bad but just didn't have the power to do so. She finally gave in and Liam pulled her dress over her head.

Liam was shocked, no he was humalitated, with the sight. Esme her body was covered in bruises and burns. Liam knew he had to stay professional but it was getting to much for Liam. He had been here before and he just couldn't think that someone could do something this cruel to children. He needed to go right now before he would eventually lose it infornt of Esme who had been so brave throughout.

"Alright Esme," Liam said holding back his tears, "I need to go for a bit but Mike, the other doctor who was just here, will be checking you over. He isn't going to do anything to you, I'll promise." Esme had cried and had begged Liam to stay but Liam knew he had to take a step back on this case and set up the things for the replacement and foster care of Esme. He had to discuss it with Louis as well but he would agree right away if Liam spilled the whole story.

Liam speed walked to the security department where Mike was just waiting at the printer. "found them?" Liam wanted to know. Mike made an agreeing sound and handed Liam the paper over.

"Thanks mate. Could you check Esme over. Take a look at her head wound and take her up for an Xray. Just fill Emse Payne in since I don't know her actual last name and I think when you're done than she would actually be named like that," Liam quickly spoke out as the two of them walked back to the cubicle," if you need me I'm in the cafetaria setting things up with social workers and other people in order to set up the foster care system."

"So you're leaving her with me than?" Mike asked as he stood still in front of the cubicle. Laim nodded and told Mike he should be fine. Mike entered the cubicle and Liam waited for a bit outside until he heard Esme talking back to Mike. He genuinely thought Mike would be fine with Esme in there.

Liam walked into the hospital cafetaria, opened his MacBook and sat down waiting for their social worker to pick up the phone. After a few rings the women picked up.

"Yeas hello it's Liam Payne speaking. I was wondering if I could talk to you about a possible adoption?"

****

"Alright and we're done," Mike said as he put the kit away. He just got Esme her X rays back and saw that her ankle was badly sprained. Just to be safe Mike put some bandage on it. "I'm tired," Esme softly spoke. Mike smiled and looked at the sleeping girl. She had cried many times and throw up everything Mike had given her to eat. When Mike weighed her there was an alarming 19.8 kilogram son the weight scale.

"Just go to sleep love," Mike reassured Esme as he stroke through her hair. Mike had to stitch her head with a few stitches but nothing major was shown. Once Esme was asleep he pulled a nurse inside the cubicle since he needed to talk with Liam. "Can you watch her for a bit?" Mike begged the nurse. The nurse gave in and Mike ran towards the cafetaria.

Liam was on the phone with Louis who agreed with Liam that there was room for one child. They lived in a massive villa and became foster parents almost as soon as they lived there. Louis would be coming around with the children so he and Louis could sign the forms.

Mike came walking in and Liam spotted him. Before Mike could say something Liam immediately raised his hand and pointed to his phone. "Alright Louis I'll see you soon with the boys. Love you," Liam ended the phone call and walked towards Mike.

"What's wrong?" Liam asked as he was chewing on a piece of wood where he stirred his coffee with. "I think we have a problem. She's way to underweight and she can't keep anything down. I tried giving her a piece of bread but within two minutes it had left her system. Than I tried an apple but that left her system even sooner so I have no idea on what too do now?" Liam nodded already knowing the problem. Esme hadn't had proper feeding since the day she was born probably so Liam knew he needed to use the feeding tube for at least a week and than he could break it off step by step.

The boys left of to the cubicle where Esme was laying. Liam looked at the notes that Mike had written down.

"Yeah most definitely under weight. I'll be using the feeding tube on her for at least a week and see how strong she'll become," Liam explained Mike as he packed the things he needed, "can you take a look in her bag pack if you can find something like loose clothes? And unpack the whole bag please since that will be her nutrition bag from now on."

Mike gave in and grabbed jogging pants and a warm loose fitting sweater. He also drew a circle on the bag and got the scissors out to cut a cross in her backpack where her tube would be connected to the pump. Liam was busy with the pump and cutting the tube the right way.

Liam got the tube under warm water so that Esme her system wouldn't reject it. Liam was watching Esme sleep but knew she had to be woken up in order to instal the tube and he most definitely needed Mike for it. "Mike can you get behind her back and make sure that she's sitting half up. Please place your arm under her armpits like you do when you're laying someone down just before they faint," Liam instructed his intern who was done cutting the cross. Mike did as asked and woke Esme up first.

"Alright Esme I'm going to be honest with you," Liam said as he sat across Esme with the tube in his hands and wearing gloves which made Esme gulp, "this isn't to be pleasant so you can scream and cry but don't try to get away since it'll only hurt more promised?" Esme looked with tears in her eyes to Liam but nod her head. "Alright then I'm going to start," Liam said and looked at Mike who nodded and steadied his grip on Esme.

It was a true hell. Liam was just starting when she already began to cry. The little girl was terrified. Liam got until her windpipe and needed Esme to swallow. "Alright Esme listen very carefully because I need you to swallow. Can you do that for me?" Esme cried but swallowed to much like of Liam because now he could shove the tube further down her throat. "Good job girl one more time please?" Esme swallowed again and Liam managed to get the whole tube in. "Good job Es," Liam spoke as he pulled Esme in a hug.

Liam fixated the tube to her nose by putting plasters in her nose. The tube wasn't able to move anymore. Liam got up while Esme snuggled more into Mike his chest. Liam got a few colors and sat back on the bed. "Which color do you like?" Esme pointed to the orange and Liam cut of a piece.

"Alright Esme," Liam said as he grabbed Esme and put her on his lap, "it hadn't been a easy day for you right?" Esme shook her head. "But I love you," she spoke to Liam. Loam cuddled with her. "The tube in your nose," Liam spoke, "that's needed to get you back to eating. And maybe than you can play with your new brothers." Liam reached over and pasted the orange bandage on her cheek with the tube in between. Now Liam was sure that it would be lasting for at least a week.

"What do you mean by new brothers?" Esme shyly asked as she got more and more comfortable in Liams lap. "Well let's just say that you're going to stay with me for a while. Well at least if you would like to. Than you'll be living together with my boyfriend and our three sons. Harry, Zayn and Niall. They will be here anytime soon. Would you love that?" Esme her eyes lit up and for the first time today Liam saw her smile. It was the most precious moment of the day.

Esme looked at her clothes she was wearing. "But than I need to wear something else than this," Esme said regering to her hospitalgown. Liam laughed and nodded. He luckily hadn't attached the feeding tube yet so he could dress Esme into something comfortable quickly. "This should do the job," Liam said laughing as Esme looked mad at him for dressing her into some jogging pants and a sweater. Either Gina hadn't packed her dresses or Liam was just trying the girl. Liam now certainly knew that Esme was definitely a girly girl who would love to dress up and would be wearing dresses 24/7 if it was going to be her call.

Liam connected the tube to the pump and Esme noticed that their was something getting into her system. When Esme wanted to ask further Liam got interrupted by his boyfriend who was standing by the door.

"Oww hey boys. This is Esme your new sister," Liam introduced the boys to the girl who was wearing an orange bandage on her face with a tube connected to it and the worst of all, at least in Esme her eyes, was wearing joggins and a sweater.

"Daddy why does she have this thing in her nose?" Niall asked tugging at Liams trousers and pointing at Esme her nose.

"Well Esme can't eat properly so daddy has given her this thing that she can still eat and maybe someday she'll be able to taste Harry's lovely cakes. Your papa and I need to leave for a bit so please be nice to Esme because she her parents weren't really nice to her," Liam stated as Zayn immediately shot up by the word 'mean parents'.

" Just like mine?" he asked carefully. Liam nodded and went through Zayn his hair. "Yehah just like yours buddy," Liam softly placed a kiss on his forehead and left with Louis to fill in the forms. He let Mike watch the youngesters and he would eventually make the call if Esme was allowed to leave today or that she had to stay overnight.

Harry immediately jumped on her bed and made his way towards Esme. "Hey I'm Harry but everyone calls me Hazza. That's my brother Zayn and that little one is Niall," Harry said pointing to his brothers. Zayn just stood there awkardly while Niall jumped up and down because he wanted to lay on the bed as well but was way to small to reach it. Mike laughed and placed Niall on the bed.

" Who is you?" Niall asked with his face fully towards Esme. Harry pulled Niall away a bit.

"I'm Esme," she shyly spoke. Niall eventually escaped Harry's grip and went back to Esme.

"I like you," Niall said as he placed a slobby kiss on her cheek. Zayn on the other hand wanted to leave anytime soon and disappeare in his room since he kept getting flashbacks of him laying there on the bed. He loved to have a sister but it hurt him to know that she had been through the same hell as he went.

"So you're going to live with us?" Zayn suddenly asked. Niall shot up. "Yeah Zayn papa said in car." Niall was still having difficulty with reading and writing even properly sentences were most likely challenging to him. Zayn walked to Esme as well. He saw the panic in her eyes and felt sorry for the girl. He wanted to leave but when he was about to his parents were back.

"So boys and Esme we ready to go home?" Louis asked. Everyone nodded. Liam grabbed Esme and helped her putting on her bagpack. "You want me to carry you or can you walk?" Liam asked as he zipped Nialls jacket on by Esme since she didn't have a jacket either and Louis brought one from Niall to the hospital. "Walk please," Esme spoke as Liam placed her on the ground. Niall immediately ran towards her and hold her hand.

"I know car," Niall happily spoke to Esme who was beyond happy. Liam and Louis watched their four children walking towards the car and knew they were complete.
