"Fuck it." You finally caved in and kissed Joel passionately.
He kissed you back and pushed you to lean on the fridge. The fridge shook because of your weight and you gasped. But he ignored it so you put your arms around his neck and continued kissing him.
But it felt like it was only for a second then you heard Sarah cry from her bedroom. Joel and you rushed to her to check on her.
"What's wrong, babygirl?" Joel panted as he stopped at the doorway.
"Hey, hey. I'm here, sweetheart. I'm here." You lifted Sarah from the crib and smelled her butt.
"Not smelling anything." You were confused.
You had fed her. She didn't peed or poop. So what was the reason she was crying?
You felt something was off. Her cheeks were flushed. It was redder than usual. Then you put the back of your palm to her head and it felt warmer.
"Joel, get the thermometer please. Hurry." You were panting as you panicked.
Joel rushed to find the thermometer and handed it to you. You immediately checked her temperature using the thermometer.
"Joel.." You showed the thermometer to Joel.
"38°C?" Joel put his hand on his forehead.
"We need to go to the hospital, right now." You rushed to get your jacket.
Joel got his keys and ran to the car. He drove as fast as he could to get to hospital and go to the emergency room. Sarah had a fever. On her birthday.
"Help! Please! My daughter. I think she has a fever." Joel begged the nurse.
"Please, she just turned one today." You begged as you held Sarah in your arms.
"Okay, please come here." The nurse guided you to a bed and called the doctor.
The doctor examined her and treated her. She was now sleeping on the hospital bed. You sat beside her as you caressed her head while Joel was doing the procedures and paid the bills.
"We can go home now." Joel came beside you and rested his hand on your shoulder.
"Okay."
At home
"Hey, babygirl. It's still your birthday today. I forgot to tell you, your mama told me to tell you that she said happy birthday." You kissed her cheek.
"Ma-ma." Sarah babbled.
Joel and you froze and stared at each other. Jaws dropped.
"Did she just-" Your eyes widened.
