Out of the Darkness

Harry POV:

It was a bit hard getting the hospital to allow me to bring a dog in, but once i explained my reasons, they agreed. I took her up the elevator with me, and luckily no one tried to stop me.

Finally i reached the critical condition ward, and started walking the dog (who was named Nessie) down the hall. I stopped at the nurse's break room, happy to find a few in there that i recognized.

"Hello, ladies." I say, giving a winning smile. "I talked with some people downstairs, and i was cleared to bring Nessie here around to some of the hospital rooms to cheer the patients up. I just wanted to let you know."

The all are very nice, and tell me that this is a great idea. They pet Nessie, and then a few of them go out to visit the patients and make sure that they are okay with me bringing a dog into their rooms.

After leaving the nurse's room, I continue down the hall until i reach the conference room. I'm excited to see the boys' reactions. I open the door loudly to find the four of them sitting around the table, joking around. They all immediately stop talking and look at me.

Louis breaks the silence. "Umm, Harry? Why do you have a dog?" he asks

I close the door behind me, and take Nessie off of her leash before grabbing a chair and sitting next to Zayn. Nessie starts going from guy to guy, prancing about and wagging her tail. They all pet her, and play with her while looking at me waiting for an answer.

"Well, for the past few days it has been very cheerless in this hospital, and i wanted to do something about it. When Zayn commented this morning that that it was depressing here, i got the idea to bring in a dog to visit all of the children and teen patients!" I tell them excitedly. "So i found and ad for an old dog whose owner who was elderly and couldn't care for her anymore. I went to the woman's house and picked up Nessie when you guys were eating."

"Aww, what a good lad!" Says Niall, slapping me on the back. They all like the idea, and soon we are ready to begin making the rounds. I put Nessie back on her leash, and we lead her down the hallway.

Although it is sad to see all of these patients in such a lowly state, it is amazing to see the affect that Nessie has on them. The kids' bored faces immediately light up when they see Nessie. I hope that she will help take their minds off of their pain. All of the nurses, patients, and their families are very excited, and the mood on the floor is already improving.

When we start getting towards the older children they recognize us, and we get pictures with them, and sign things. All of the guys and I are having a great time, and the afternoon flies by. By the time that we are done with the last room, it is 4:00 in the evening. Samantha's doctor finds us.

"Hey guys! Samantha is ready to be moved now," he tells us. "I would like to thank you guys for visiting all of the patients with Nessie this afternoon. It was very uplifting for them."

We are happy to hear this, and arrangements are made so that Nessie will stay at the hospital, and the nurses will take turns bringing her around to visit the patients. We go out to get her some supplies at Pet-CO, and we give the hospital money to care for her. By the time we are done with this, Samantha has been prepped and moved into an ambulance.

The ride to the hospital is quick, and the second we get to our house, there is a flurry of activity as furniture is moved, medical equipment is set up, and Samantha is brought into the house. They set up her bed in our living room, near the kitchen. The doctor gives us lists of emergency information, and tells us that a nurse will be in to check on Samantha at 9AM, 1PM, 6 PM, and 9 PM every day until she is out of her coma.

By the time everyone leaves, it is 6 in the afternoon. We are all relieved to finally have some time to ourselves. The doctor said that it is fine for us to just be ourselves, and do whatever we want in the living room and kitchen. He tells us that some coma patients can hear what is going on around them, while they are in their coma, and that this would be good for Samantha.

Liam turns on the big flat-screen TV and we begin watching a football (soccer) game while Zayn orders Chinese food for everyone...
