Vivienne Shaymen woke with a jolt. For one, she was hot as hell and felt... Oh god, she thought, hopping out of bed and trying not to wake her husband. She want straight for the bathroom, throwing up right in the toilet. She wouldn't be able to sleep now. Jeez Viv, relax, she thought to herself. It was just a dream. And the truth was, she couldn't even remember the dream.
Viv wasn't sick or anything, just startled. Throwing up had made her feel just a little better. She silently crept from the room she shared with Louis and down the hall to check the thermostat. Oh great... it's broken. That explains why its so fucking hot in here...
She sighed in frustration and made her way to the baby's room, pulling her hair up into a ponytail. The baby wasn't even asleep. He was lying there, awake, his hazel eyes taking in the dark room as he chewed, or rather sucked, on the sleeve of his pajamas. Which were much too heavy for how hot it was in there.
Frowning, Viv lifted her baby from the crib and took him to the changing table, stripping him down to his diaper. She kissed the top of his head and carried him out to the living room where she set him down in his carrier for a moment. Jeez, she was in a pair of Lou's boxers and a tank top and she was still hot.
She didn't want to wake Lou by going back into the bedroom, so she went over to the closet and grabbed the fan in there. She plugged it in in the living room and then went into the kitchen where she grabbed a drink of cold water, rinsing her mouth out. She pressed the cool glass to her head, closing her eyes. It felt really good. Silently cursing their broken heater, she grabbed herself a rag and ran it under some cold water before ringing it out and heading back into the living room.
Turning on the TV, the volume on low, she laid down on the couch with the fan blowing on her. She picked up the baby and laid him down on his stomach on top of her, a hand on his warm back, rubbing it. She had a blanket nearby if he started to get too cold. The cool rag rested on her forehead and she laid there with her son, unable to sleep. The baby curled up on top of her, his head against her chest. He had his thumb in his mouth, sucking on it and listening to her heartbeat as he watched the colors on the screen.

(WOW LOL)
Louis woked up confused. Last time he checked it was winter... but he was sweating. He didn't have any blankets on either. His brown eyes turned golden as he looked next to him and saw Viv wasn't around. He listened to hear if Louie was crying, but he wasn't. He narrowed his eyes and swung his legs over the bed....
He made his way down the hall, trying to be quiet so incase something bad was going on he wouldn't give away his place. He came around and saw the flashing colors of the T.V. and the low volume. Then he saw Viv and Louie. Louis cocked his head and then walked up to them both. "Why is it so hot in here?" he asked alittle tiredly....

((Hey, I couldn't sleep, I had to do something...)
The fan was making things cooler for Viv and the baby. Viv's eyes went from the TV to Louis as he walked out. "The thermostat's broken," she said, pulling herself into a sitting position so that there was room for Lou on the couch. Louie Jr. continued sucking his thumbs, his hazel eyes wandering over to Louis. Viv sighed and looked at Lou. "It's cooler over here..." She smiled at him and Louie made a baby noise from her arms, almost as if in agreement.

Louis cocked a brow. "Oh..." he said plainly. He went to sit next to Viv and Louie, but could only take a few minutes of the heat. "That's it..." He sighed. "I've got to fix this." He growled and walked over to the little box on the wall. He studied it for a few minutes, not knowing how to really fix it, but you know Louis, he thinks he can fix anything...

"Lou..." Viv said, getting up and following him over to the thermostat. Louie just kinda watched his dad get up and leave, whining slightly. Viv carried him with her and stood behind Louis, her brows knitting together. "Are you sure you can fix it? You might just break it even more... Maybe we should call someone to come and fix it in the morning...."

Louis poked at the thermostat. He didn't know how to fix it, but how hard could it be.He blinked away and within another second he was back with a screwdriver. He heard Viv and he said, "Well that'll cost money... and take too long." He said putting the screwdriver in the one hole to unscrew it. After he took the screw out the plate to the front fell off and he poked the stuff inside. It sparked and then made a loud bang and a pop. Louis ducked his head and screamed....

Viv rolled her eyes as he said this and watched him. She flinched as the thermostat popped and Louie Jr. started to cry loudly. Viv held him to her, trying to calm him down. Lou's scream didn't help. "Are you alright?" she asked Lou. She had that tone in her voice. The one that just said, You dipshit. I knew this would happen.

Louis uncovered his head and he looked up, "Ummm.. yeah.." He said with a small frown. It already started to get cooler. A smile crept over his face. "I DID IT!" he said happily. He kissed Viv on the cheek. "Arn't I amazing?" he asked with a happy smile...

"What?" Viv said, noticing it started to get cooler as well. She didn't believe it so she went over to the thermostat, observing it. "Lou, the inside of this thing is fried..." she said, backing up in case it exploded or something. "I think it's still broken..." She looked at Lou, thinking it was cute how excited he got when he thought he fixed it.

Lou frowned. He walked up closer to look at the burnt thermostat. "Oh...." He said running a hand through his short hair. "Well... it's cooler for some reason. I'm happy." He smirked and then went back to sit on the couch, a happy sigh coming out of him...

Viv sighed and carried the baby over to the couch, switching off the fan. She sat next to Lou with her head on his shoulder as the apartment grew steadily colder... and colder. Louie started to whine as he got colder and Viv had to wrap him up in the blanket. "Now it's too cold..." Viv said to Lou, trying to warm up Louie and shivering.

Louis sat for awhile and then too started to get too cold. "Shit..." He said with a small growl. He took some blankets off the couch a"Sorry... damn I was excited I thought I fixed it." He sighed...

Viv frowned and laid against Lou, trying to get warm. Louie was whimpering and whining in her arms because he was too cold. "I'll b-be r-right b-back," Viv said, her teeth chattering. She got up, able to see her breath by now in the air. She carried her cold baby into his bedroom and set him onto the changing table. He was crying by now and Viv put a pair of footie pajamas on him. She thought for a moment and then put a hat on his head and then his snow suit, pulling the hood on it up. He seemed disappointed that he couldn't suck his thumbs, but he was warmer now. Viv then went into her bedroom and pulled on one of Lou's hoodies and a pair of his older and smaller sweatpants over the boxers she had taken from him to wear. She went back out to Lou with at least ten more blankets and a sleeping bag, the baby in her other arm. She dropped the blankets on Lou and curled up beside him again, still cold.

Louis went and put on two sweatshirts, a girly hat that was Viv's, but it was really warm and two different colored gloves. He put on a few more pj pants and then looked at Viv coming out with a bunch of blankets and a sleeping bag. "Hmmm... this might work..." He said smiling....

Viv rolled her eyes as she saw Lou wearing her hat and held Louie close. He had stopped crying, but she was worried about him still being cold. Louie laid his head on her chest and Viv had to smile at her baby. She snuggled up beside Lou and Louie grabbed the string on the heat Louis was wearing, observing it before he started to chew on it.
