Wednesday woke up to the loud sound of her parents bickering. Her head and throat still hurt but it didn't hurt enough for her to complain about it which is pretty okay in her eyes.
"Wednesday come here" her mother calls out, noticing she's awake
She studied her mother's face while walking over to her. Her back was still really sore. Her mother had slight eyebags and she looked really tired. Had she slept last night?
"Mm" she hummed signaling her mom to talk
"Okay so you have a fever which means you won't be able to attend to your class tomorrow either, is that okay? Actually don't answer that because you don't have a choice" her mother said standing up and giving her father his coat.
"Go lay back down hun your father will be bringing you breakfast in a few minutes, right Gomez?"
"Yes, I'll be back my little raven" he said heading out
This bed she was in was highly uncomfortable and there was no way she was willing to sleep in the bed her mother was in. Her lower back made it difficult for her to move and walk and though she would never say that out loud her mother seemed to notice.
"Here you go hun" her mother said handing her painkillers and some water
She gave her mom a thumbs up. She feared that if she opened her mouth to talk her throat would start to feel worse considering the fact that I was already hurting a bit with everything she swallowed. She quickly took them with water, her throat hurting as she swallowed down the pills.
"It is pouring out there" her father said walking in with her breakfast. Strawberry yogurt and an apple. "Here you go, sorry this is all they had today" he said handing her her breakfast.
She gave him a thumbs up before opening the yogurt, only to realize that she didn't have a spoon. She looked up to ask her dad for a spoon but her parents were on the other bed talking about something. She didn't want to have to get up or talk so there was only one thing to do. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at her father.
"Yes Wednesday" he said looking over at her
Her quick reaction was to act as if she was holding a spoon and eating yogurt, trying to make him understand.
"What?" He said completely clueless
"Spoon Gomez, she needs a spoon" Morticia said clearly
"Oh! Yes of course hold on" he says reaching through his pocket to get the spoon. He finally got the spoon out of his pocket and gave it to her.
As she was about to dig into her yogurt her mother spoke up.
"Gomez you can't just give her a filthy spoon that you had in your pocket, we all know how disgusting your pockets are" she said walking over to Wednesday grabbing the spoon from her hands
"Okay fine I'll go get another one, I'll be back" he said walking out the door

Since Gomez went to check on Pugsley and uncle fester, she was left with her mother alone. She was currently being asked questions by her mother.
"So any crushes? Drama? Favorite things to do here?" Her mother asked her while she was reading a book.
Wednesday really had to think about the first question. Did she like anyone? No of course not she would never be okay with such affection showing affection is a sign of weakness. Yeah nope no crushes at all.
"Can I go to the library?" Wednesday asked ignoring her mother's question
"Yeah sure just make sure you take a coat cause it's raining out there, and I want you back in ten" Morticia said flipping the page to her book
"Okay I'll be back in a bit" she went out into the hallway. It was almost lunch time so she had to do this quick. As she was walking towards the library someone walked into her.
"I'm so sorry" they said
She looked up to see Enid
"Oh hey Wednesday!" Enid said cheerfully "hope you're okay after last night"
"Yeah I'm alright thank you" she said about to walk off
"Where are you going? Shouldn't you be resting?" Enid asked
"I'm fine," she said as she walked over to the library. She wasn't fine. Her back was still hurting and her head was also somewhat hurting due to how cold it was outside.
The moment she entered the library, she spotted thing. She walked over to him asking him what he was doing here. Apparently he was here so he could help find a way to cure Wednesday but he seemed to be having no luck.
"Thing help me find a suitable book to read because my mother is annoying me" she asked while looking through the shelves. They had been looking for a while. She knew her mother would be mad at her for being out longer than ten minutes because she already had a fever. That was until thing found the book she used to love to check out of her elementary school library "Food Fight!" By Carlo Diggory Shields keep in mind she was 5.
She had asked thing if he wanted to come along with her back to the room but thing said he was having a nail painting session with Enid. Once she got back to the room her father was already in the room.
"Where were you Wednesday?" Gomez asked
"I told you to be back in ten minutes; an hour and a half is not ten minutes" Morticia said in an angry tone "your fever could have gotten more severe"
"Well it didn't so stop being so scared over nothing" she hissed back walking over to her bed
____________________________________________________
Wednesday for sure jinxed herself. She was feeling tired, weak, and every time she blinked it stung. She heavily made her way to her mother's side of the room while her father was out buying them dinner.
"Mother" she said groggily
"Oh dear are you alright? You look terrible and not the most pleasant kind" her mother said "see what happens when you go out while you're sick" her mother said taking her temperature. 100.8°F
"I'm sorry" she says tiredly
"It's okay next time listen or just don't go at all" her mother says leading her back to her bed about to tuck her in
"I'm pretty sure I can tuck myself in thank you" she says pulling the blanket over herself.
'Yup she's still the same good old Wednesday' Morticia thought as she walked back to her side to grab Wednesday's medicine they had prescribed her.
"When will father be coming back? I'm starving" she said tiredly
"Don't fall asleep yet, you still have to take your medicine and eat" Morticia said handing her the medicine.
"You could just wake me up when he gets here" she says after taking the medicine her swallow felt like the inside of her throat was getting peeled off
"I'm back! And I brought your favorite Wednesday, vegetable soup" he said handing her the container full of soup. Though she loved vegetable soup she didn't feel like she would be able to eat any of it. After setting it on her bedside table, she began to feel nauseated. Maybe she could just sleep the feeling away.
"Are you planning to eat your soup my little raven?" Her father asked her worried because he had never seen Wednesday turn down vegetable soup before.
"I'm fine, I'm just gonna take a nap" she said turning over and falling asleep.
