HopexJosie:Hosie

Chapter 3

THURSDAY OCTOBER 26th, 2028

"Hey Hope."

"Hey you okay, you look a little pale?"

"Yeah, my stomachs been upset for the past couple weeks."

"Why haven't you said anything. Come on lets go to my room you can lay down there and I'll get you some tea and soup." Hope says picking Josie up and placing her on her hip.

"I could walk."

"I know, but you aren't feeling good so suck it up and let daddy baby you." 

Josie sighs and lays her head on Hope's shoulder. By the time they get to Hope's room Josie is asleep in her arms. Hope gently lays Josie on her bed and smiles down at her placing a kiss on her head before going over to her art easel putting a new canvas on it and starting to paint. An hour and a half later Josie wakes and runs into the bathroom startling Hope. Hope follows Josie into the bathroom finding the girl leaning over the toilet hurling. Making her way over to Josie Hope pulls her hair out of her face and rubs her back.

"Sh its okay baby, sh."

Hope continues to rub Josie's back shushing her in an attempt to comfort her until she is done hurling. Josie goes to stand, but Hope swoops her up into her arms and carries her back to bed.

"Do you want tea, soup, ginger ale, water?" 

"Some water to rinse out the taste please."

"Sure thing." Hope grabs a water bottle out of her mini fridge she has by her bed.

"Anything else?" Hope asks after giving Josie the water and she takes a sip.

"Cuddles?" 

"Of course baby."

Hope climbs into bed next to Josie and Josie cuddles into her side resting her head on her chest. Josie falls asleep while Hope plays with her hair and hums.

7 pm

"Hope have you seen Josie?" Alaric asks knocking on her door.

"Yeah now shush shes sleeping." Hope says after using magic to open the door.

"Okay I didn't see her at dinner so I got worried."

"Yeah no she wasn't felling good so I brought her back here to take care of her."

"Is she better now?"

"I don't know she said her stomach has been upset for a couple weeks and she threw up earlier, but she doesn't seem to have a fever or anything else wrong with her."

"Okay I'll leave you two be then. I'll talk to you both tomorrow. Good night."

"Good night Dr. Saltzman."

ONE WEEK AND A DAY LATER: Friday November 3rd, 2028 

"Baby I'm worried you still aren't feeling good and you keep throwing up. Please I'll go with you we'll skip classes and go to the nurses' office or the ER." Hope says after setting Josie on the edge of her bed after the younger girl finished throwing up for the second time this morning.

"Ugh fine I'll go to the nurse, but will you carry me?" 

"Yes of course now do you wanna try and eat something first?"

"Sure some toast sounds good."

Hope smiles and picks Josie up and carries her towards the cafeteria. Hope sets Josie down at a table before going to get some toast and ginger ale for her.
