Flu Season Pt 2

Heyyyy everyone! Sorry for the delay on this one I meant to have it up yesterday evening but ended up getting too tired to keep writing. Anyway hope you enjoy!

{Dil's POV}

So acause of Grandpa's talky box I learneded that aliens got hurted by germs. That was only the starts of it all though. I spent up until after my nappy time with Grandpa and Grandma which was lots of fun! I even got to have some chocolate pudding for snacky time. After my nappy time though my mommy came to gets me and this time Tommy was with her. We ended up going to the doctors acause my mommy said it was time for his and mine's checkup but I wasn't gonna have mine until a couple more days. Everything was going like norman whenever we have to go to the doctor where they checks and makes sure you're growing and stuffs. That was okays until the doctor said something about a foo shot!

{Normal POV}

Dr. Schachter was going through the usual routine six month checkup with Tommy, checking his height and weight and overall physical wellbeing. Also checking over his leg from the time it had gotten broken by a freak accident.

"Well Tommy it looks like you're good and healthy." Dr. Schachter chuckled as he flipped through his charts

Quickly scanning through them all to make sure he got everything he needed to check over as he nodded.

"Alright Mrs Pickles, everything seems to be looking great! Before I let you go it is recommended that Tommy here gets his flu shot. The strain is going around, especially in young children and I'd think it'd be best to get him vaccinated to keep him and his brother as protected as possible." Dr. Schachter explained

"Oh! Absolutely, anything to keep my two boys safe." Didi complied

"Great, I'll go ahead and get that ready so we can get you guys out of here." Dr. Schauchter said, getting up to leave the room momentarily

Tommy didn't seem too fazed about getting a shot, to him this was nothing after realizing the first time that the shots never really hurt that bad. Plus he got to have a lollipop after! Dil however was a little more wary of the idea of a shot as he clinged to Didi's dress, he couldn't quite remember due to being too young at the time but he did remember something he got at the doctor and how his finger hurt and his mommy wouldn't let him suck on his finger to make the pain go away.

Not too long of a wait later, Dr. Schaucter returned with the materials needed as he began to prep the syringe before sliding his chair over next to Tommy. Taking an alcohol pad, he slightly rolled up Tommy's shirt sleeve as he then swabbed Tommy's arm to clean it.

"Alrighty Tommy, this is your flu shot, this is going to keep you nice and safe from the nasty germs of the flu." Dr. Schachter explained as he carefully administered the shot into Tommy's arm before removing the needle and replacing it with a cotton ball. "Great job! Now would you like a Reptar bandage or a Goober one?"

"Reptar!" Tommy exclaimed, happily

"Haha I should have known." Dr. Schachter chuckled as he placed a Reptar bandaid onto Tommy's arm. "And you are good to go! How about a lollipop for the road?" Dr. Schachter asked, handing Tommy a green lollipop.

Moving back over, Dr. Schachter began to clean up the contents from the desk as Tommy climbed down from the exam table and back over to his mom and brother.

"Now he might feel a bit tired and achy, along with the chance of a slight fever but just treat it as you would a normal cold and he should be just fine." Dr. Schachter explained to Didi while Tommy showed off his bandaid to Dil while sucking on his Lollipop

"Thank you so much Doctor." Didi thanked

"No problem Mrs. Pickles, and I'll be seeing you later on this upcoming for Dylan." Dr. Schachter waved as Didi got up, holding onto Dil while taking Tommy's hand

"Yes we'll be seeing you then." Didi nodded as they left the exam room

After checking out with the secretary, Didi left with the boys out to the car to make their way home.

"So what did you dos while I was over Chuckie and Kimi's house, Dil?" Tommy asked looking over to his brother

"Mommy tookeded me to the tired home with Grandpa and Grandma and we listened to Grandpa's talky box." Dil started to explain, "And and Grandpa's talky box talked about how the alieums tried to take over the whole entire world afore and I founded out that they defeated the alieums acause of our germs, whatever those are, hurting them." Dil finished explained

"Ooh I know what germs are, those are the icky creatures that make us sick and give us colds and tummy buggies and stuffs." Tommy said

"Oh is that why the doctor gaves you a shot?" Dil questioned

"Uh huh! He did says that it's supposed to protect me from the germs. That's also why we babies get booster shots sometimes." Tommy answered with a nod

"Neat! So we don't have to worries about no germs making us sick or big mean alieums hurting us neither." Dil beamed as he kicked his feet happily.

It wasn't too long before Didi arrived back at their home, carrying Dil inside as Tommy ran ahead to the front door step. Setting Dil down in the living room, she switched on the T.V to Reptar to allow the boys to watch as they played.

"Now you two play here while mommy starts getting dinner ready for this evening." Didi said as she then went off to the kitchen.

Hearing Reptar's roars rumbling from the speakers of the T.V, Tommy climbed up onto the couch to watch. Dil on the other hand wasn't currently interested in watching the Reptar episode airing as he crawled over to the side of the couch where he last left his Goober doll to play with for the time being.

After a little bit of time had passed Tommy found himself starting to shiver a little, suddenly feeling cold. Seeing that the show had gone on a commercial break, Tommy took the opportunity to go and grab the Reptar cover from his bed to wrap around himself as he made his way back downstairs. Climbing back on the couch, he made sure to try and stay as covered as possible as he violently shivered. By the time the commercial ended, Reptar's loud roars boomed through the T.V speakers once again as Tommy frowned and whined. His head was suddenly hurting, and boy was it bad. Thinking maybe the T.V was just a little too loud, Tommy reached for the remote as he turned down the volume.

"What's the matter, Tommy?" Dil asked, noticing Tommy turning down the television

"Nothing, it's just my head hurts a little. I thinks I'm getting a headlake." Tommy mumbled, trying to bury himself more in the blanket as he continued to shiver. Dil, not thinking much of it, shrugged off his brother's headache as he went back to playing while Tommy ended up nodding off on the couch.

What will happen to Tommy? Find out next time!
