Louis wakes in a hospital bed, there's a drip and some oxygen in his nose. The room is empty and he's sore. He vaguely remembers what happened, he remembers Dan, Jax and Rhys but he also remembers Harry and Scott, it's blurry but he remembers them coming into the office.

Louis notices he is still in his work clothes, which means he must be in the emergency department. He isn't awake for long before a doctor comes in, she seems lovely and she smiles at Louis.

"Hi there Louis, my name is Dr Casey, it's nice to see you awake" she says kindly.

Louis smiles slightly.

"How are you feeling?" She asks as she takes Louis chart out and flicks through it.

"I'm fine" Louis tells her.

Casey stops looking through the file, she looks straight at Louis and raises her eyebrow.

"Umm" Louis says

Casey continues to stare

"I'm sore" Louis admits and Casey nods her head and goes back to the file.

"You've been through the ringer, you have a slight concussion, bruises, two broken ribs and how long has your kidney been sore for?" She asks.

"Um, a few days" Louis tells her.

"You have a pretty bad kidney infection, I've put you on some strong antibiotics through the drip to hit it on the head, we're lucky it was caught early" she tells him.

"Um.... So can I go home" Louis asks shyly.

Dr Casey sighs.

"It depends, do you have someone I can discharge you to? Someone reliable to care for you? You will be out of action for a week at least and you're on strong pain killers and antibiotics. I can't send you home alone" Dr Casey says.

Louis knows his brothers won't make it here in time to be with him, he also doesn't want to burden Harry and Scott. Hospitals bring up such bad memories for him though, he really doesn't want to stay. Speaking of Harry and Scott, he has no idea where they are, he hopes they aren't in jail.

"Well, um, I think I do, but I don't know where exactly they are?" Louis says more of a question.

Dr Casey puts the file down and smirks, she then goes to open the door.

"This pair?" She asks fondly as Harry and Scott walk through the door and head straight to Louis side.

"Lou, are you okay darling" Harry asks as he reaches Louis and kisses his forehead.

"I'm okay" Louis says.

"We were so worried" Scott tells him as he too kisses Louis and swipes his hair off his forehead.

"Scott your eye, are you okay, I'm so sorry" Louis says, Scott's eyebrow is cut and he has a small bruise around the bone.

"I'm fine darling, I promise" Scott reassures as he kisses Louis gently.

"Are you hurt Harry?" Louis asks looking to Harry.

"Just some small bruises, nothing for you to worry about baby" Harry tells him with a smile.

Casey looks on fondly.

"These two have been trying to bribe my ER staff for information and to see you, if I didn't know them I would have kicked them out long ago" Dr Casey says.

"We didn't know you we're working or we wouldn't have told the nurse we were Louis husbands" Harry says with a slight blush.

Casey chuckles.

"Well you're lucky I was on shift or security would have been escorting you out" Casey tells them with a knowing smile.

"Sorry Case, we were just worried" Scott says sheepishly.

"If I wasn't your sister Scotty I would have thought you were off your rocker, but I can see Louis means a lot to you both" Casey says.

"Thank you Case" Harry says.

Casey just nods with a smile.

"Now, discharge, can I release Louis in your care and trust you will look after him and follow all discharge instructions?" Casey asks Harry and Scott.

"Absolutely" both boys says.

Casey nods and goes to organise the discharge papers.

"It was lovely to meet you Louis, I'm sorry it wasn't on the greatest of terms but I look forward to seeing you again" Casey winks as she leaves the room.

"She's your sister?" Louis asks.

"She is, she's the best, you'll love her" Scott says.

"I can't believe you said you were my husbands" Louis says with a small chuckle careful not to hurt his ribs.

"We really thought it would work, but apparently they needed proof" Harry says.

"We weren't past forging some documents, we were lucky Casey found us when she did" Scott says.

Louis smiles with a slight blush, he can't believe Harry and Scott would even do that for him.

Scott and Harry then get Louis ready to leave, Louis is so sore and it's a slow walk to the boys rover, Louis refusing a wheelchair.

When they finally make it, Scott buckles Louis in gently and Harry drives about 10k under the speed limit, not risking Louis's safety for one minute.

When they pull up to Scott and Harry's they both help Louis into their penthouse apartment. It's slow going and Louis is so sore.

"It's okay darling, you're doing really well" Scott says as they walk towards the lift. 

"I'm so sore" Louis says, his voice cracking at the pain.

"We know baby, let me carry you hey" Harry says gently as he swoops Louis up in his arms bridal style before Louis can protest.

Louis relaxes a little in Harry's arms and Harry holds him closely as they enter the lift and ride up to their floor.

Harry and Scott bring Louis into their apartment, the place is massive and Louis is in awe. There's a huge entry way that steps down to a cosy lounge area and small bar, the left of that there is a huge sunken lounge area with the most plush carpet Louis has ever seen. Behind the lounge is a huge kitchen with floor to ceiling windows that go around the entire side of the penthouse showing off the London skyline, there is also an open dining room that overlooks the view it's amazing.

"We're going to set you up in our room okay Lou, the bed is comfy and big, there's also a tv and everything in there for you" Harry tells him.

"Will you stay with me" Louis asks vulnerable as Harry and Scott open the door that leads off the lounge area.

"Of course baby, anything you want" Scott tells him.

Harry and Scott then help Louis undress and redress in a pair of pyjama pants that are surprisingly Louis small size and one of Harry and Scott's huge university t shirts, it swims on him, just the way Harry and Scott like.

They place him in the middle of their bed and hand him some pain killers.

"Now, just rest okay Lou, we can talk about everything in the morning when you're feeling better ok" Harry tells him.

"I need to call my brothers" Louis says as he rests back on the pillows.

"Already done, they arrive tomorrow" Scott tells him.

"Thank you, for everything" Louis says vulnerably.

"You're welcome sweetheart" they both say.

Louis doesn't even get his next words out before he's passed out, fast asleep.
