Chapter 70 (Atlas's POV)

January 1st

Grayson- 37 weeks

Atlas's POV

"Sissy back!" EJ shouts as Em walks through the front door. She was obviously hiding something in her shirt and I roll my eyes at how obvious it was.  She had gone shopping for Seren's birthday in 10 days.

"What you got their Em?" I ask as our brother clings to her leg. "My arms are obviously empty... I don't have anything" she sneers looking away.

"What about Seren's gift?" I ask getting a terrified look. "I got distracted" she cries bending down to EJ's level. "Sissy has to go real quick can you go to Atlas" she whispers Emerson nodding and hugging her leg before running over to me.

Emerald quickly runs off I'm assuming to her room as I poke EJ's cheek. He giggles looking at Ash. He had his head on my lap fast asleep. "Is bofend okie?" The child asks peering up at Asher.

"My boyfriend is just a little sick" I sigh rubbing his forehead. Asher groans bringing the blanket up to his chin. "did you may him sick" he asks giving me a stern pout.

"Of course not" I whisper and his face softens. The little boy climbs up into the couch making room under the blanket for him. He clings close to Asher and kisses his head "be better" he whispers, Ash starting to move around in my lap.

I caress his cheek with my thumb trying to calm him. Emerson seems to have enjoyed enough of his 'boyfriend' time because he soon slides out of the blanket. "I love you Ashy bye-bye" he mumbles while I give him a hurt look.

He quickly comes over to me patting my knee "I love you too" he cheers before doing his adorable run. I don't know where he went but he went somewhere. I just chuckle at his run it was so cute and clumsy. "Atlas" my tiny boyfriend mumbles making me look down at him with worry.

Him being sick was normal but it was never good. "Yes, love?" I ask as he sits up from my lap. Holding the blanket around his shoulders. "I don't feel good" he whispers looking forward with teary eyes.

"I know Angel, I know" I whisper kissing his forehead. He wipes his nose laying his head onto my shoulder. "It hurts" he cries as I rub his shoulder trying to comfort him. "What hurts... you gotta talk to me," I ask, he just holds his head.

"My head" he whispers moving another hand to his head. I stand putting a pillow in my place. He gives me a sad look reaching for me. "Don't leave me" he mumbles so I flash him a quick smile. "Hey I'll be right back I just need to get you some stuff" I explain and he nods looking away.

"Lay down for me," I tell him helping Ash into a laying down position. I give him a quick kiss before running to the kitchen. Grabbing a clean rag I damp it while also retrieving a glass of water.

Only to hurry back over to Ash. I force him up so he can drink just to lay him back down again. "I'm right here" I comfort him laying the cool rag on his forehead. He shivers crying slightly.

I sigh taking the blanket from him. "No please I'm cold" he begs reaching for the blanket.  "Angel, you have a fever I can't" I give him a sympathetic look as he cuddles up to himself shivering.

"Atlas please" he pleads with me while I force myself to look away, this was absolute torture. With a groan, I lay it on his feet.  "That's all I can't have you overheating" I sit on the floor holding his hand. "Are Dad and Papa going to be home soon?" He asks holding the rag to his head.

"Soon Angel, Soon" I whisper kissing his hand. "It really hurts" he whimpers closing his eyes. I move my other hand to his head trying to massage his scalp and soothe the pain. "I know I'm sorry" I coo giving him a worried look.
