SCARLETT
Having to take care of a sick kid is not easy, i would never have thought that it would be this hard, especially when they are going through heavy grief
"Y/n, you gonna have to calm down for me love. Your gonna make yourself sick again and we don't want that hmm" I hummed rubbing Y/n's tummy as she cried heavily on the sofa
"I WANT MAMA" She screamed arching her back and covering her face with her hands. I blinked back my tears, seeing her this upset breaks my heart every-time it happens, because there is truly nothing i can do to help her.
"Y/n, it's alright" I say softly placing my hands on her legs to stop them for kicking, she lay on her back lengthways so i had to move to sit near the bottom of her body but moved up when her legs started kicking
"i just want my mama" Y/n sobbed looking at my heartbrokenly, i frowned reaching my hands under her armpit's and taking the chance to lift her onto my lap.
"i know you want your mama honey, but- i'm so sorry" I whispered bringing her as close to me as possible and rubbing her back underneath her t-shirt.
"But what did i do, i didn't do anything to lose her, w-why me" She cried softly fisting my hoodie with her hands
"you didn't do anything wrong your right sweetheart, it was an accident that had involved you and your family. Believe me, i saw what happened love" I cooed rocking her on my lap and flatting her hair at the back.
"y-you did?" She hiccups wrapping her arms around my neck and messing with my hair motioning like she was putting it up in a ponytail then letting it fall again then repeating her actions as i spoke
"Yeah. Me and Lizzie were walking down to get some coffee i think, we looked over and saw your car get hit by a drunk driver who was stupidly drunk in the morning, it broke my heart and i ran over to see if your car was alright" I explain tightening my hold around her
"oh" She says quietly, clearly not knowing what to say, she ticks her head away into my neck and i instantly feel her forehead heating up against my skin
"You need some more medicine love" I sigh standing up from the sofa with her in my arms still. She whines softly, unwrapping her legs from my waist causing me to almost drop her
"Jesus, you almost gave me a heart attack" i pant securing her in my arms, she mumbles a soft sorry, re-wrapping them around my waist again letting me grab what was needed.
"Right, here we go hun" I say sitting her on the counter, i poured the right amount of medicine on the spoon and lifting it up to her mouth. She looked at me with a pout, telling me through her eyes she didn't want this
"I know babe, but it's gonna make you feel less icky" I say placing my hand underneath the spoon so it doesn't spill. I bring it forward letting it linger by Y/n's lips giving it a little push so it touches them before she finally accepts and opens up her mouth, taking in the liquid and swallowing.
"There we go" I smile placing my hands on her legs and watching her face morph into disgust as she finally starts to taste the medicine. After i finish putting it away, i help Y/n down from the counter and tell her to take a seat whilst i grab her a snack.
"Do you want some toast" I ask searching around for some bread, i hear a small agreed hun so i pop a slice in, going against two so i don't make her feel worse
"What do you want on it sweetheart" I ask looking around for some options, she replies with nothing making me turn around with a raised eyebrow
"Nothing? Do you not think it'll be a bit dry with nothing on" I ask thinking about how crumbly and just flavour-less it would be. She shakes her head indicating that she does want nothing on it, i turn around picking her plate up and placing it in front of her and going around sitting beside her with my phone.
