Charlotte's P.O.V.

Alright, 1 day passed by fairly bearably. 

Aidan FaceTimed me every 2-3 hours and we texted each other throughout the day so much. I also FaceTimed Elodie, who is staying with grandparents meanwhile. 

Today I had 3 classes, did loads of paperwork and prepared all salary for my employees: teachers, cleaning stuff, guards and gardener, who takes care of backyard. I earn exceedingly a lot, so everyone gets handsome, decent salary without delays. 

Right now I am grocery shopping. It is 6PM and I just got out of work. 

"Hi, James. How are you? How are Jessica and Elodie?"- I spoke contentedly, answering his call, and put a box of blueberries in the cart. 

"Hi, Charlotte. We are good, but my granddaughter isn't. Elodie has fever and stomachache, we cannot calm her down and she keeps asking for Aidan and you."- he stated in worry as I heard her sob on the background. 

"I am on my way."- I immediately replied and we exchanged see you soons. 

I left everything behind and left Harrods in rush, getting in my car and driving off quickly. I know where his parents live since my boyfriend and I dropped Elodie off together. 

In matter of 10 minutes I parked in front of their mansion and dashed out of the car as James opened the door, meeting me. 

"She feels awful."- he said in worry, leading me upstairs to her room, only for little beauty to meet us in the hallway.

"Lottie!"- cried Elodie, rushing to me with tears in her gorgeous, caramel-brown eyes. 

"Shh, I am right here, sweetheart. Everything will be fine."- I cooed her, picking her small self up in my arms. 

I carried her back to her room, seeing distressed Jessica. I nodded at her, silently exchanging hellos, and she smiled at me in return. They left us alone, giving us a moment. 

"My belly hurts and it's so parching."- she sobbed, holding me tightly, as I sat down on her bed. 

"I will look after you, beautiful, I promise. It's going to be okay."- I spoke tenderly, laying her down in bed, complying as she lightly pulled me to lay with her. 

I cuddled her tiny self and laid my hand on her belly, gently rubbing it, feeling her relax almost immediately. 

"Shh, everything is going to be fine, honey."- I cooed her lovingly, kissing her cheek affectionately, and she clung to me more securely, crying in my chest quietly. 

She is very hot and it can be felt with the tiniest touch. I saw medicine on her night stand, so she should feel better with time. 

I stayed with her, soothing her down and cuddling her, keeping my hand on her small belly. Elodie slowly calmed down, nuzzling into me more and more as I gladly hugged her closer to myself. 

"I will make you a cup of tea and then I will cuddle you for some more, alright, sugar-bear?"- I said calmly and she nodded, blinking away tears. 

"I will be right back, beautiful."- I assured her and kissed her forehead. 

I got up and tucked her in as she held her unicorn securely. I went downstairs, seeing James and Jessica drink coffee in the kitchen. 

"How is she?"- asked with a comforting smile James. 

"A bit better. She isn't crying, but she says that her belly hurts a lot and she is very hot to the touch. Do you have ginger tea?"- I responded, sighing in worry.
