"Hot lemon water with honey, ibuprofen, tylenol," my mother lists down a bunch of things for Seraphina and dumps them in my arms, "Get these to her, tell her to stay away from showering more than necessary, no cold food items, no stressing herself out, and to take a shit ton of rest!" she rambles while I try and keep up with her motherly advice. 

"Mamá tienes que hablar más lento, maldita sea, no puedo entender nada! [mom you have to speak slower, damn I can't understand anything!]" I grunt and she gives me an apologetic smile while tightening the watch around her wrist, "Lo siento hijo, solo estoy preocupado por ella [I'm sorry son, I'm just worried about her]."

I sigh and balance the things better in my arms, trying not to drop the pills or the boiling hot water, "Yo también, mamá, y voy a estar todo el día con ella y cuidarla. no te preocupes. [me too, mom, and I'm going to be with her all day and take care of her. don't worry.]" I say and she smiles, "Sé que lo harás, cariño [I know you will, sweetie]"

"¡Tengo una reunión ahora, dile a Leo que se cuide y nos vemos más tarde! ¡cuídate tú también! [I have a meeting now, tell Leo to take care of himself and see you later! take care of yourself too!]" she informs me and kisses my cheek before walking away, "¡Por supuesto! [of course!]" I call out and turn to make my way back to my room from the kitchen. 

I reach quickly since I took long worrisome strides to be next to her in lesser time, I open the door to see Leo comforting Seraphina on the edge of the bed, her head resting on his shoulder while his arms are draped around her. I place the stuff on the desk and walk over to them, "Ella esta mejor ahora? [is she better now?]" I whisper to Leo and watch Angel flutter her eyes open at the sound of my voice. 

He hums and gently soothes her, I smile at his gesture and she looks at me with a faint smile on her lips, "Vinnie?" she mumbles and I grin. "I'm right here, my love, don't worry," I assure her and take her hand in mine. 

She smiles a bit more and my heart leaps in joy, "Thank you, Leo, you should go get breakfast," she mumbles and he laughs, "It's almost afternoon, darling, but sure. You're sick and delirious, Vince... she's all yours!" with that my brother places a gentle kiss on the top of her head and pats my back before walking out, "Mamá te dijo que te cuidaras por cierto! y de mi, parte cuídate [mom told you to take care of yourself by the way! and from me, take care]" I call out and he flashes me a thumbs up & a smile. 

I focus my attention back on Seraphina who has her nose adorably scrunched up, but the tip of her nose is red and her eyes are watery, she's really sick, "I need to t-talk to him," she confusingly murmurs and I shake my head, placing my hands on her knees to maintain her balance. "You're sick, amore, what you need is to rest," I whisper and she half-surely nods. 

She doesn't give herself even a minute before letting her body slump forward in her daze, I luckily catch ahold of her and wrap my arms protectively around her waist to keep her stable. "Okay sweetheart, let's get you to bed," I huff out and slip my arms underneath her legs and her back, carrying her bridal style.
