~Sick~

--Aiden's P.O.V.--

Today I got a call from the boys and Nefeli's school, asking me to go there immediately and pick up my little sister.

She had a stomach bug.

When I heard how she was sick, I nearly lost my mind. I would be alone with her for the rest of the day until the boys return from school. Lemme not say anything about Chris and Noah, they would gonna return home after 2 am and they had too much work.

I brought Nef home and helped her lie on her bed after she changed into her pajamas. "Do you need anything farfalla?" I asked her, pulling the covers up to her neck. (Butterfly)

"No, Deny I'm fine, I just wanna sleep" she got comfortable under her duvet and rolled on her side.

I chuckled and kissed her forehead, before I exited the room, leaving a soft-smiley, sleepy girl behind me. Ah, I love that nickname so much, I could listen to her calling me that all day long.

Seeing her all sweaty and breathing heavily made me more worried than I have ever been. I of course had taken care of my little siblings when they were younger and sick, but I had never taken care of my sister again.

Wait-

I had...

13 years ago:

A shriek mixed with crying echoed the house, which was coming from the baby room on the second floor. The scream pierced my poor, 9-year-old ear, terrifying me truly much.

I run straight up to my baby sister's room, worried, trying to hold all the medicines, toys, diapers, and a medicine I was holding at this point. I was home alone with a truly sick Nefeli, while all my brothers and my parents were out.

Noah and Chris were with mum and dad somewhere I didn't really understand, something like a trip and the twins and Cole were at school and as the oldest here, I was on duty for my sick Neffie. Grandpa had allowed me to skip school since he had to go to the family company.

I don't really know what the business is but okay. Oh well, it must be something really boring anyway. Only papers papers papers papers... Nothing interesting. When I grow up I won't even care about it, I will be a firefighter and I will protect people. It's not like it's necessary to follow that job.

I rushed into the baby room and near my baby sister only to see tears rolling down her rosy cheeks. I scooped her in my arms and laid her tired body on my chest, rubbing her tiny back so she can stop sobbing.

My poor toddler, it's the first time she experiences temperature and she is suffering a lot... I gave her a kiss on the forehead and brought her to my room, laying down, belly to belly as I laid down on my bed, as she had now calmed down. Well, that was fast... I was expecting it to take longer. Oh well...

I kissed her little forehead and I let her sleep in my arms peacefully, sucking on her thumb. She was so cute when she was sleeping, I could watch her all day long sleeping.

I closed my eyes, drifting to sleep as well when loud crying pierced my ears and tears wetted my blouse. The stomach bug was more intense to babies than to kids and toddlers. Her crying was sounded desperate and really in pain.

"Hey hey hey hey, no more tears farfalla, your big brother is here" I kissed her buttoned nose and placed her on my bed completely. (Butterfly)

I laid next to her on my side and put my hand on her tiny stomach, rubbing it softly, in order to calm her down as I wiped her tears away with my thumb of her cheekbones and cheeks.

And it worked. The sobs and the tears slowed down and little by little vanished. Nefeli was looking at me with her still watered, shiny eyes, while her bottom lip was trembling and she had placed her tiny palms on the back of my larger hands.

"Are we alright now Neffie? Does your baby tummy still hurts or we are good?" I asked her, still rubbing her stomach.

She only nodded and smiled widely at me.

"Yayyyy!" I cheered and kissed all over her tummy multiple times, bringing to the surface loud baby giggles as she kicked her chubby legs in my direction.

I chuckled and let her rest as I grabbed the medicine from the nightstand next to us, pouring some in a spoon "Now I want you to open your mouth for me, angelo, okay?" (Angel)

"Blieh" she stuck her tongue out and shook her head stubbornly. Okay, I will be honest, that medicine was really awful. It tasted like fish soup mixed with apple juice and I cannot blame a baby for not liking it. But it was helping with stomach bugs, so she had to take it.

So I had to think about something. And the only thing that was coming to my mind was only that...

"Look Nef! The train is coming! Vroom vroom! Open your mouth for it baby to get inside!" I moved the spoon in an airplane motion and made train noises to amuse my baby sister.

And it worked.

She giggled loudly and opened her mouth wide for the spoon- sorry, the train to enter her mouth to take the medicine.

Her face scrunched up and she stuck her tongue in disgust. Well, looks like her brothers are not the only ones who don't like that awful medicine. But she had to take it, or else the pain would not heal at all and she would keep crying all day long.

"Bad" she pouted and rolled side to side as her cute tiny nose was still scrunched up.

I giggled at her and copied her face in a mocking way, getting her to giggle as well. I couldn't stand listening to my baby sister shrieking with pain and not helping her so her smiling face was sending a wave of relief inside me.

Neffie suddenly yawned and gave me grabby hands to hug her and my heart couldn't help but melt. This girl was a literally cuddle seeker, so am I. She is my cuddle buddy... Well, everyone's but still.

I lied down on my side and spooned her, still rubbing her tiny stomach. I felt her breathing calming down as she was sucking on her thumb while soft snores were leaving her, so I fell asleep too. And lemme tell you the bug had vanished at that point...

I chuckled at the memory and shook my head. She is the same girl she was 13 years ago. The same cuddle bug. The same ticklish girl. The same cute baby. The same girl I remember... Even tho she is now taller and with more hair.

Well... Not too tall but still.

My thoughts tho were interrupted by a loud groan coming from upstairs. Those stomach bugs are a curse after all... They were waking her up even now she is nearly 15!

Ugh, I mean I knew what to do when she was 1, I would give her that medicine. But that medicine is only for babies, I didn't have the tiniest idea what to do now... What if she just was on her period?

Just then an idea popped into my mind.

"Hey, Nef! Wanna cuddle?!"
