22 Wait But You Had A Concussion Right? - 1d Medical

"If she doesn't show up in a minute I'm calling the police."

"Li calm down you know Rachel," Niall tried to reassure his husband.

The 1d boys were on holiday in Australia. Harry and Louis children were there as well, the 4 year old Jason and his 5 year older sister Anastasia.

Nialls and Liams daughter was 12 year old and had been surfering the whole afternoon but when Harry and Louis went to the beach with their children and Niall and Liam their daughter Rachel was nowhere to be found nor was her surfboard.

When they headed home they thought that Rachel would have been there but that wasn't the case either. Liam and Niall where home for over an hour by now but Rachel still hadn't showed up.

Suddenly Niall heard the front door close from their Holliday house. He slowly stood up and found a bleeding Rachel from a severe headgash on their doorstep.

"omg what happened," Niall said as he sprinted towards his only daughter.

"I I do-," Rachel said as she began to see black spots and swaied on her spot. Niall grabbed her quickly before she passed out in his arms. Niall lifted her in bridal style and ran upstairs because he knew that Anastasia and Jason were down and would most likely freak out. He laid Rachel down into his and Liams room and tried to wake her with no success.

Niall sighed and knew he had to get Liam because he actually was trained in first aid and a professional medic but getting Liam ment leaving Rachel alone. Niall just knew he had to get Liam and decided to yell for him at the top of the stairs.

"LIAM," Niall yelled close to crying. He heard a door open and saw his husband's face filled with panic as he heard Niall practically scream with worry.

"what is it?" he asked stikk not know that his only daughter laid passed out on his bed.

"Just come," Niall said as he sprinted back to his bedroom. Liam followed quick and stormed into his bedroom. He found Rachel passed out on his bed with a head gash and a nose bleed.

"alright what on earth happenes," Liam wanted to know when he placed Rachel into a recovery position.

"Don't know," Niall responded, "she stumbled upon me while she closed the door." Liam nodded while he tried to get some response out of Rachel by pain stimulation.

"Hey girl open your eyes for me," Liam said as Niall softly stroke his daughters hair. Liam sighed as Rachel was still out like a light.

"Ni go get me a wet cloth and my first aid kit so I can stitch up her head," Liam said as he checked Rachel's pulse which was slow but regular.

Suddenly Rachel began to stir but Liam kept her on her side. "Hey your fine yeah I'm here yeah I'm always here," Liam reassured Rachel who was slowly regaining consciousness. Rachel began to cry out of pain. "Dad it hurts so much," Rachel cried out as she fell into Liams side.

"Shhhh," he tried to hush her as soon as Niall came running back in the room.

"Omg Rachel your awake," Niall said as he practically threw the stuff towards Liam.

"It hurts Papa," Rachel said as she snuggled into Nialls chest.

"Alright Rach," Liam said as he was carefully cleaning the wound, "it might sting a bit but I'm going to stitch up your head and going to do some tests on you"

Rachel nodded while her dad got two syringes ready.

"Niall hold her down because you know how afraid she is with needles," Liam whispered as Niall held Rachel close. Niall sighed and softly nodded while he stroke Rachel's hair.

Liam got right in front of Rachel and without a warning he placed the first syringe next to the gaping wound in Rachels head.

She wanted to pull away as soon as she felt the metal touch her forehead bur Niall kept a steady grip on her.

"If you pull away it only hurts more you know," Liam said while he also managed to get the second syringe emptied in her head.

"Alright I'm stitching up alright," Liam said as he prepped the needle and the stitches. Just as Liam as about to stich up Rachel's head she quickly covered her mouth which indicated for Liam that she was about to throw up. He quickly grabbed a bucket to put under her chin. As soon as Rachel saw the bucket she forcefully threw up. "Shhh," Niall said trying to sush her.

"Yeah you clearly have a concussion," Liam sighed while she kept throwing up.

Once Rachel was done she laid herself  back on Nialls chest.

"I'll be done soon little one," Liam said while he once again tried to stitch up his daughters head.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Ana, Jason, Rachel foods here," Harry yelled through the house. Rachel laid on her bed while Jason laid next to her playing on his Nintendo.

Rachel got a mild concussion so Jason could play next to her only if he promised to not put on the sound too loud.

" let's go, " Rachel said as she lifted up Jason and walked with him downstairs. Jason tangled his hands into Rachel's hair and closely moved his hands towards her head which was now covered with plasters to hide the stitches.

"How about we leave that for me," Rachel said laughing as a wave of dizziness and a sharp pain hit her. Rachel lunged forward and grabbed the right side of her stomach. Jason grabbed on for his dear life because with this move he was almost thrown foreword.

"Watch it," Harry, who appeared behind them, said while he grabbed Jason from Rachel.

"Hold on sec," Harry started to notice that Rachel began to look pale and clutched her stomach, "hey easy girl. You alright?"

Rachel shook her head and pointed to the spit where it hurts the most. Harry didn't grew concerned since Rachel got a minor concussion and this usually was a side effect of it.

"I'm sure you'll be fine yeah because you know you have a concussion and some people get sick it's completely normal."

Rachel nodded into Harry's side as the stabbing pain in her lower right abdomen slowly passed.

All three of them made their way downstairs.

" Finally," Liam said as he was just done putting the pans on the table,       " wait what's wrong? " Rachel made her way towards her dad and cried softly in his waist.

"don't feel good," she mumbled between sobs of pain and agony.

Liam tried to hush her and laid a comforting hand on his daughter's head. "it's just a side effect of your concussion believe me," Liam reassured her.

"how about we're going to eat and than you go resting and if you don't feel fine you call always call us and maybe when you're better than we can all head to the beach," Liam suggested. Rachel slowly nodded and slid into her spot.

'you alright?' Niall mouthed to Rachel who slowly shook her head.

Liam set up the last food and before Rachel knew it a strong smell of meatballs hot her nose. The smell alone made her want to gag and when Louis wanted to give her a meatball she kindly denied it. Louis sadly looked towards her while she got some veggies.

After dinner the boys cleaned the table and did the dishes while Rachel, Jason and Anastasia went to the garden. Their holiday house had a big pool and a huge garden with it. In the garden was a climbing frame as well to much like of Jason who already was upside down hanging on a pole.

"Be careful Jas," Rachel said as she was about to sit down on a chair that stood aside of the pool. Before leaving the house, Rachel grabbed a book from the table. Once she plopped down in her chair she opened her book.

Jason was still hanging on the climbing frame and Anastasia was practisching her smash on the wall with her volleyball.

"Rachel help me," this made Rachel look up from her book and saw that Jason got himself tangled in the climbing frame. She had to laugh at it and walked towards Jason in order to free him and give him a more comfortable position. "Here you go monkey," Rachel laughed and got back to her book.

Halfway through her book Rachel began to feel a stabbing pain in her lower right abdomen. She lunged forward and violently threw up.

The sound of vomit hitting the ground made Anastasia look up from her ball. She saw Rachel bend forward and throwing up. Her eyes widened and rushed towards her friends side. "Rachel what's wrong," Anastasia desperately asked while Rachel kept throwing up.

"Uncle Ni," Anastasia yelled from the garden. Niall - who was actually busy doing the dishes and chasing Harry with soap - ran in the garden with Harry closely behind him. He saw his daughter throwing up and not close to stopping that act. Niall made a rush towards Rachels side and sushed her.

"Let it all out," Niall said as he pulled his daughters hair out of her face. Rachel was extremely sweaty that her hair practically was glued to her head.

"Get Li," Niall directed Harry, "and get the kids inside."

Liam was upstairs doing some hospital administration since some of his workers had fallen ill and he was chief so had to reschedule every shift.

"Li," Harry said as he entered Liams room, "it's Rachel you have to come." Liam sighed, took of his glasses and followed Harry quickly into the garden. He saw Rachel bend over a bucket and Niall trying to sush her.

Liam sadly shook his head as he made his way towards his husband and daughter.

Liam slowly laid a hand on Rachel's back and slowly watched her dry heaving above the bucket.

Once she was done she slowly slid into her dad's arms. Niall got up to empty the bucket while Liam picked her up in bridal style.

"Alright girl," Liam said as he walked into their house, "I'm going to lay you down on the couch and then we'll see what we're up to next."

Louis, who sat on the couch, made room for his bandmate while he laid Rachel down.

"Lou can you please keep an eye on her?" Liam asked, "I still need to find replacer at the hospital and Niall can't handle puke as good as you can."

"Always," he responded while he scooped up a half sleeping Rachel and laid her across his lap.

"Thank you so much. Once I'm done I'll be down checking her." Louis nodded and Liam left the room in order to go back upstairs to make some calls to keep his department from falling apart.

Rachel had fallen asleep and Louis was checking his phone when suddenly she began to stir." Hey girl what's wrong," Louis said while he checked Rachel over who looked like she was going through a nightmare.

"Hey wake up for me little one," Louis said trying to wake her up. Her eyes shot open and fearfully looked towards Louis. "I kn-oow what happend," she managed to stutter out. "you remember what?" Louis asked as he helped Rachel sitting back up.

"I got a really annoying stabbing pain in my stomach so I didn't pay attention to the waves anymore. Once it had subsided I realised I wasn't on my surfboard anymore but on somebody else's. A boy had hit me while doing a nose dive. He insisted that he took me back to shore and took a closer look to my wound but I refused and said that my dad was a doctor. The boy left me and I grabbed by board who another girl had brought back to shore. After I grabbed my board I thought I saw Jas but I thought it was impossible and I had hit my head so hard that I began to hallucinate. I thought I knew the way back but it turned out I had walked for four hours in a circle on bare feet and a surfboard in my hand. I kept getting a tremendous pain in my stomach and I still have."

Louis sighed and pulled Rachel into a hug." it's all over girl, " he said.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Ahhhhh," Rachel screamed once she woke up in the middle of the night. Her hair was pasted to her head due to the amount of sweat.

She cramp fully clinched onto her stomach. Her bedroom door shot open and a wide awake Liam was revealed.

He flicked the lights on and rushed towards her side.

"Shhhh," he tried, "what hurts?" Rachel was too weak to speak so instead she pointed to her right side of her stomach. Liams eyes widened and quickly picked her up.

"Li what on earth," Niall asked as Liam walked passed his husband who stood half asleeot against their bedroom door post.

"I'm taking her to the hospital," Liam explained while he placed a kiss on Niall's cheek and covered Rachel's shivering body with a jacket of Niall which laid on the ground.

"You go back to sleep, I'll call you when I know something."

Niall nodded, kissed Rachel and watched Liam leave with Rachel in his arms.

The ride towards the hospital was horrific. Every bump got Rachel into tears and screams of pain. Once Liam parked the car he rushed towards his daughter's side and grabbed her out of the car.

"Please help me," Liam cried once he bursts through the door of the hospital. A young looking male looked up from his work.

"Fuck that's Rachel," the boy said as he left his reception. Liam looked stunned by the sudden words of the boy with a nose piercing.

"Wait how?" Liam looked in disbelieve at the boy.

"I nose dived my board into her head earlier today but when I insisted I would take her to her house she refused and told that her dad was a doctor," the boy from the reception explained. Liam nodded and the boy left in order to come back with two young looking males sprinting their way.

Rachel hid her face in her dad's stomach while the two males introduced themselves as Calum and Ashton.

Liam explained the situation and his place as doctor in the United Kingdom. Both Ashton as Calum luckily sighed and explained that neither of them had worked as a medic for more than three months.

"Just follow us and we'll be your helping guides but if you want you can do everything yourself," Ashton said as Liam followed closely behind with Rachel.

She was about to pass out once her dad laid her down on the table.

"Hey keep your eyes open for me," Liam said as he slowly tapped on her cheek. Rachel made a soft moan out of pain to much dislike of Liam.

"Alright so she has a fever, throws up, a stabbing pain in her right abdomen, dizzy, has a mild concussion."

Ashton immediately ordered an echo while Calum booked an OR.

Liam got an IV in Rachel's arm who was still screaming in pain and agony.

"here," Ashton said as he wheeled an echo machine towards the two. Liam got the gell and put it on Rachel's stomach and passed the echo machine towards Ashton.

"You make the diagnosis," Liam said. Ashton thanked him and looked around in Rachel's stomach.

"Here," he said as he pointed towards a pretty inflamed appendix. Liam nodded and Calum returned. With one look on the monitor he called an anesthesiologist.

"Count down for me from 10 to 0," Micheal the anesthesiologist told Rachel. Liam scrubbed in for surgery since their hospital was also short staffed and didn't have an available surgeon at the time.

Ashton would do the procedure while Liam would look with him if he was doing it right.

" Alright scalpel," Ashton asked Calum. He made a small incision in her stomach and began the three quarters during procedure.

"Alright it looks fine to me," Liam said nodding and happy with the outcome. Rachel's appendix was about to burst when Ashton successfully removed it.

"I'm going to call my husband and you take her to the recovery room please," Liam instructed Ashton and Calum who both nodded.

Liam called Niall who immediately picked up.

"She made it," Liam said before he went into a full sobbing mode....
