Gently rubbing Zahir's back, Cassia attempted to quiet him down as he cried on her shoulder. The stomach bug that he had come down within the last days only making him beyond miserable, being that his immune system was so weak. Meaning when he got sick, he got sick really badly to the point where everything hurt and his symptoms were terrible.
"You feel like you're going to throw up again?" She asked him, turning her head to try and look at him better. The angle being a little weird since they sat on one of the couches in Cepheus' dimly lit living room.
"I don't know, but it hurts." He sniffled, raising his head from her shoulder to stare his glossy green eyes into her brown ones. Sighing, Cassia grabbed the trash can again to place right down next to the couch.
"I'm going to lay you back down with the can right next to you, try and take a nap baby. And if you feel like you're going to throw up again then do it in there, because I have to finish cooking and feed your brother. Do you want to eat something?" She scooted over, gently laying his small body down onto the couch that he was originally on.
"No" He said in a small voice, Cassia poking out her bottom lip as she attempted to pull the blanket up to cover his body. But he immediately stopped her with his hand. "I'm hot"
Furrowing her eyebrows, she felt his forehead and neck to realize he was burning up. An obvious fever which would explain the sweat coating his back. "Alright, take that shirt off and I'll turn the AC up. You're not going to camp tomorrow." She tapped him, before standing to her feet.
"I can have a popsicle?" His bright eyes looked up at her as he wiped at his damp face. Nodding her head, Cassia fixed her bonnet while glancing over at the time.
"Yes, but lay down first and I'll be back in a minute." She sighed, running her hand over his curls before making her way towards the closest downstairs bathroom. Needing to wash her hands and freshen up so that she didn't pass what Zahir had down to the other kids.
"Mommyyyy!" Crystal sang, skipping down the stairs just as Cassia came making her way out of the bathroom. Stopping to allow Crystal to fly past her, Cassia glanced over at Christian who was hitting one of his trucks on the ground.
"Yes ma'am" She mumbled, walking back to the kitchen to finish up the mashed potatoes. Crystal close behind her with Christian paying neither of them any mind.
"Okay so I've been doing some thinking...and I want to go vegan-."
