Mr. & Mrs. Hunt

Sick Days pt.2

OWENS POV
I opened my eyes and Amelia was asleep next to me. I hoped she would feel a lot better today. I took today off of work. I walked downstairs and the kids were already getting ready for school.
"Good morning," I said as I walked into the kitchen. Finn ran over and jumped on my leg.
"Good morning Finn," I smiled.
"Morning dad," Caroline said.
"Good morning," Maeve said.
"Good morning daddy," Logan said.
"Did you guys eat anything yet?" I asked.
"No," they said as they zipped up their backpacks with their lunch boxes.
"Why don't I make pancakes?" I said.
"Yay!" Logan said, "daddy can I bring Finn outside."
"It's cold outside," I chuckled.
"Please?" He asked.
"Sure," I said, "go run around with Finn but don't get too sweaty before school." He nodded and opened the back door and ran out with Finn.
"How's mom?" Maeve asked.
"I don't know she's still asleep," I said, "is Lucas up?"
"No," Maeve said. Lucas probably wouldn't go to school either, so I'd stay here with him and Amelia, and hopefully neither one of them is too sick. I finished the breakfast pancakes and put them on the counter.
"Logan!" I said as I opened the back door. Him and Finn came running inside and I filled his bowl with dog food. The kids went off to school and I want to go check on Amelia and Lucas. I opened Lucas's door and he was fast asleep. I felt his forehead and it was still warm from yesterday so I figured he could stay home from school. I walked back into the bedroom and Amelia was up packing her laptop bag.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Work," she said weakly. She looked up at me and she was super pale and I could tell she still didn't feel good.
"I called out for you last night," I said.
"Owen," she complained.
"Amelia come on I took the day off too, you need rest," I said.
"Fine," she agreed and got back into bed. I let her snuggle into me and she smiled.
"Did the kids go to school?" She asked.
"Yup, Lucas is going to stay home his head still felt a little warm," I said.
"Gotcha," she said.
"How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Still bad," she reluctantly answered.
"I'm sure you'll be fine to go to work tomorrow," I said.
"Yeah," she said. I turned the TV on as she snuggled into me.
AMELIAS POV
I wanted to go to work so badly. Ugh. Owen was downstairs making Lucas lunch. I was standing in the bathroom and I couldn't tell if I had to throw up or not. Ugh. I just wanted to feel better. I just wanted to go to work actually. That's what I really wanted. I sat down next to the toilet and threw up whatever was left in my body. I flushed the toilet and leaned my head against the wall.
"Hey you okay?" Owen asked as he stood against the doorframe.
"Yeah," I said.
"I made Lucas pizza bagels do you want some?" Owen asked.
"Sure," I said. I got up and walked downstairs and Lucas was watching cartoons on the couch.
"Hi buddy," I smiled.
"Hi mommy," he said.
"Are you feeling better today?" I asked him.
"A little," he said, "are you?"
"Yeah, a little," I chuckled and walked into the kitchen. Finn ran over to me and I smiled as I pet him.
"Here you go," Owen said as he handed me a plat and a glass of water.
"Thanks," I said and sat down at the table. He sat down next to me and kissed my head.
"Daddy I'm done with lunch," Lucas said as he came into the kitchen.
"Put your dishes in the sink okay?" Owen said. Lucas nodded and put his dishes in the sink and then went back to watching cartoons. I hated being sick. I hated it so much. It made me feel so helpless and useless, and I couldn't go to work. My whole body aches and I just wanted to scream.
"Hey what's wrong?" Owen said as he looked at me. I hadn't realized I was crying. I wiped my eyes and put my dish in the sink.
"Nothings wrong," I said.
"Amelia," he said and help my hand, "what's bothering you sweetheart?"
"I just hate being sick," I cried, "it makes me feel so useless!"
"You're not useless," he said and hugged me tightly, "we all get sick sometimes I promise it's okay."
"My body is so achy," I complained as I hugged him tighter.
"I'm sure a bath could help with that," he said. I looked up at him and he wipe away my tears.
"Really?" I said.
"Yeah let's go upstairs," he said. We both walked upstairs and Owen started the bath water. We both got undressed and got in the tub. I leaned up against him and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Feel more relaxed?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said. I felt him kiss down my neck and then on my shoulder.
"I love you, and I hope you feel better tomorrow," Owen said softly.
"I love you too," I said.
