Maxence looked about the place, every time he came he wished the twins had a nicer home knowing they were probably lucky to have a roof over their heads. Theo sat down on the couch as the doctor opened up his medical bag. Alice stood there biting her lip anxious about the diagnoses Theo looked up at the doctor through blurry eyes.

 "Alice I may have to check you cause you been close to Theo likely chances you might have it at as well," 

Maxence started though Alice didn't want to believe the doctor at all.

 "I'm feeling fine," she replied. "Doctor....," 

Theo struggled to stay upright though Maxence went to work he pulled out the infrared thermometer and placed it on Theo's forehead.

"Have you been experiencing this illness for more than an hour or so?" 

Maxence asked as he watched the digits on the thermometer tick over.

"I have had the inkling of a cold for a day or so, it was only today I was coughing and sneezing," 

It was then Alice chimed in.

 "Theo why didn't you tell me you were sick, you just said it was nothing. I could have gone to the doctor sooner," she berated she paced about the room.

"I can take care of myself, Alice. I'm worried about you mostly I swear," 

Theo watched her clearly, getting herself into a stressful mood. Alice paused and looked at Theo.

"Theo doesn't worry about me I can take care of myself," 

Theo's eyes widened and his mouth fell agape with disbelief Alice soon left the room in tears.

Maxence felt the strain of the fight then took that into account though the thermometer settled upon 36.6 degrees which gave him some relief.

"Ok you're not showing signs of a fever, are you experiencing a sore throat? Breathing troubles?" 

Maxence went through the possible symptoms though Theo wasn't sure.

 "I just been sneezing and coughing nothing else"

Then another sneeze came out which Theo just caught within his scarf. 

"That's a good sign though things could change slightly if you start experiencing some serious problems like breathing and stuff might need to be hospitalised," 

Theo's eyes widened at the mention of the hospital that he righted himself up on the couch.

"So what's the diagnosis here? Do I just have the flu or this virus? I want to know," 

He asked in a desperate tone the doctor took off his glasses for a moment and rubbed his forehead before placing them back on. Alice drifted back into the room though she lurked by the doorway listening.
