Lelia had been tossing and turning in her sleep. She was somewhat twisted up in her blankets and a cold sweat had broken out on her forehead. She groaned lightly in her sleep as Benjamin started to cry in the next room over.
The sound of his cries woke ger from her lighr and uneasy sleep. She stumbled from her bed, waking Rudi who had been sleeping beside her. He followed after her, his tail wagging a little as he followed her out into the hall.
She made her way down the hall and toward Aiden and Chelsey's room. "Aiden," she called in a soft, upset tone... just before she leaned over and threw up on the hallway floor...

Aiden woke as he heard Ben's cries. He grunted and pushed himself out of bed, trying not to wake Chelsey. He scratched his head and walked out into the hall in just a pair of gray pj pants as he heard Lelia call him. "What's wro-" he was cut off as she threw up on the floor.
"Ugh," he said, stopping and then walking around her. He felt her forehead and shook his head, holding back a curse. "Lets go, back in bed." She had a fever and he felt a little bad. He grabbed the trashcan from the bathroom and led her into her room, putting the trashcan beside her bed. "Lay down, I'll be right back." He made sure she laid down before he walked down the hall to see what Ben needed, deciding to clean the barf off the floor when he was done taking care of the baby.

Chelsey hadn't been sleeping to soundly and woke up when Aiden got out of bed. She got up and walked out hearing Ben crying, avoiding the puke on the floor at the last second. She met Aiden in the baby's room. "I'll take him hun...he's probably hungry and needs a changing. Take care of Lelia, she needs it." She gave him a soft smile with a quick kiss and walked over picking up their son. She walked into the kitchen with him and proceeded to heat up a bottle.

Aiden kissed Chels back and then sighed. "Yeah..." he said before he went and grabbed a few things like the thermometer and a cool rag. He went back into Lelia's room and sat on the sid of her bed. "Open up," he said, sticking the thermometer in her mouth and under her tongue. While he waited, he went out into the hall and got something to clean up the barf before he went back into her room...

Lelia listened to everything Aiden told her to do. Her stomach was rolling and she couldn't help but whine a little bit. She kept her mouth closed around the thermometer and waited for Aiden to come back in to take it out. Rudi jumped back up into her bed and she scratched him behind the ears, happy that he was there.

Chelsey watched Aiden go back and forth as Ben continued to drink his bottle down quickly. She shook her head and headed back into his room and set him on the changing table. She quickly changed him and he stopped fussing, but refused to go to sleep. She continued to hold him, trying to get him to sleep as she walked back out to where Aiden was. She stayed out of his way, silent as she rocked their son in her arms.

Aiden finished cleaning up and put everything away before washing his hands and heading back into Lelia's room. He smiled tiredly at Chels and kissed her cheek, running a hand softly over the little amount of hair on Ben's hair. He sighed and walked into Lelia's room again, taking the thermometer from her mouth. He groaned and shook his head. It was a bit higher then he had thought, but low enough that he wouldn't have to take her to the hospital or anything. He sat beside her and put the cool rag over her head.

Ben had fallen asleep again, so Chelsey smiled back at Aiden as he kissed her cheek. She walked back into his room and laid her son down in his cradle. He didn't wake and she walked back to Lelia's room. "She okay?" She stayed by the door, the smell of the dog really bothered her. She gave in and walked in, her nose wrinkled, and sat down next to Aiden, looking at Lelia. She still had a tired, soft smile on her face.

Aiden looked over at Chels and sighed. "She has a fever," he said, shaking his head. "Probably a stomach virus or something." He kissed Chels on the cheek. "I'm gonna run to the store to grab a few things for her..." He said to Chels, making a mental note of everything he wanted to pick up. Crackers, ginger ale, stuff like that. Maybe a few coloring books. That always helped.

"Okay, I'll stay here." Chelsey smiled sweetly and joked slightly, "Maybe some vanilla ice cream." It was something that she had craved along with nachos and a few other foods while she was pregnant. Though she loved the ice cream. She looked down at Lelia and gingerly reached out to pet Rudi.

Lelia hald the cool rag to her forehead and watched as Aiden got up to leave. She frowned and leaned over to throw up in the trash can. This was not fun. She Rudi looked up at Chels as she went to pet him and then sniffed her hand before allowing her to continue on withj petting him. He rolled onto his side, his tongue lolling out of his mouth.

Aiden smiled tiedly and nodded. "Of course," he said, leaving the room and walking silently down to their bedroom. He threw on a t-shirt and a pair of shoes and grabbed his car keys before he left. If he tried running in this tired state, he would probably run into a tree.
It took a little while to get to the store. After all, headquarters weren't exactly located right next to a CVS or a Giant. He ran in to the store in his pajamas, his hair a mess, and grabbed what he needed before hurrying back to his car.

Chelsey smiled as Aiden said he would get some ice cream. She turned and looked back at Lelia who was leaning over and throwing up. Her expression changed as she stopped petting the dog and gently rubbed Lelia's back. She remembered how that felt all to vividly. She checked the rag, it had warmed up somewhat. "I'll get you another cool rag..." Her voice was soft as she walked out into the kitchen and cooled the rag down.
She walked back into the room and sat down on the bed again, "Here..." She placed the rag on Lelia's forehead and tried to get her to lie back. "You should lie down, that should help a little." She sounded unsure.

Lelia nodded slowly and listened to Chels, lying back down. "Thanks," she said quietly as she placed the rag on her head. Rudi stood up and turned around a bit, getting comfortable and lying back down. He let out one of those dog sighs and peered up at Lelia and Chelsey. Lelia watched him and then scratched him behind the ear a bit. She had a feeling sh wouldn't be getting much more sleep that night. "Do you know any stories?" she asked, looking up at Chels, her face a bit flushed from the fever.

Chelsey shook her head, "Sadly I don't for how much I've read." She shrugged her shoulder and gently pet Rudi. "If I did, I don't think that they would be as good as you're brother's..." She smiled, Aiden was going to have to be the one telling their son stories. She could read them, but other than that, not make any up that were decent. "I can read to you if you want, from one of your books...?" She offered softly.
