Tony POV
It's evening now. Hailey has been sleeping for hours. I think I should wake her up. I guess a hot chocolate would be nice to give her when she wakes up.
....................................................
Tony made a mug of hot chocolate and came out of Kitchen.
Robert
Where are you going?
Tony
It's hot chocolate
Robert
For whom?
Tony
Ofcourse for Hailey, Dumbo!
Robert
Oh! Dad and mom has gone to Dad's office, as Mom has to sign some documents regarding her soon-to-be wife of our dad. So they have gone there. Dad told that they would come late tonight. So they asked us to take care of her.
Tony
Really? I'm very excited to have Hailey here. Hehe...
Do you wanna join me? I'm gonna wake her up...
Robert
Nope... I'm good(Cold)
Tony
Okay then... It's your loss...
Tony humming some song, while going upstairs to the room where Hailey is sleeping. He knocked twice, there was no reply. So he decided to open the door and enter inside.
As expected, Hailey was sound asleep. But, instead of looking good after all this napping, she looked rather pale. Tony shrugged and decided to wake her up. He called her twice, but she didn't budge.
He got worried and shook her. That's when he noticed that her temperature was way higher than normal. He placed his one hand on her forehead and the other on his. He could tell that Hailey was burning. He became worried as hell.
He decided to wake her up first. He shook her and called her name..
Tony
Hailey? Hailey sweetie? Can you wake up for me bud?
Hailey
--------------
Tony
Hailey? Hailey honey?! (Shaking her)
Hailey
H-hmm???
(Voice is groggy due to the sleep)
Tony
Had a good nap?
(Sad smile)
Hailey
Hmm... (sleepy)
(she rolled to the other side and tried to cover her face too with the duvet)
Tony
Nah sweetie. You have a fever, Hail. Here, have this hot chocolate. It may feel good for your throat.
Hailey
(shaking her head as No)
Hailey tried once more to cover herself with duvet. But, Tony firmly removed it from her. Hailey whined cause of cold. Tony sat on the bed.
He let his hands slide under her arms and tried to make her sit on bed. Hailey was very sleepy that she didn't mind Tony making her sit by picking her up like a kid. But nevertheless, whined due to the lack of soft mattress.
Tony smiled at her. He made her lean on the headboard and sat opposite to her. He took the hot chocolate from the night stand and slowly brought them to her lips. Due to the contact of the mug with her lips, Hailey opened her eyes slowly and saw Tony trying to make her drink the Hot chocolate.
She was too sick to hold the mug by herself. So she let him hold it, and also she liked Tony very much that she didn't mind feeling guilty for letting him hold it for her.
Tony too didn't mind, rather felt very happy for how safe and secured she would have felt to let him help her to drink it up. She very slowly drank fully and sat there again with her eyes closed.
Tony took a tissue from the nearby tissue box and wiped her lips, which held few droplets of hot chocolate. Hailey tried to lay down again...
Tony
Hailey sweetie? How about we give you a little check up?
This was enough to wake Hailey up from whatever tiredness she was feeling. She avoided making eye contact with him, hoping he would let her sleep, cancelling her check up.
Tony
Sweetie?
Hailey's silence made Tony understand about her objection towards the check up. He didn't want to loose the comfort she has gained in him, so he decided to take it slow.
Tony
Okay Hailey... Then you just take rest. I will wake you up for dinner. Is that okay bub?
Hailey was happy inside, but decided not to show it. She just nodded her head and laid down after covering herself with the duvet.
Tony closed the door after him and came down looking worried. Robert saw him and decided to ask him what's the matter.
Robert
What happened?
Tony
Hailey has fever (worried). But she doesn't look happy about us giving her a check up.
Robert
(thought for a while)
She wasn't happy when father mentioned us being doctors too! I guess something is wrong here.
Tony
Do you think so? Wait, let me call mom and ask.
Robert
Okay ...
Tony tried calling her mom, but she didn't pick up the phone. He tried calling her dad. He also didn't pick up the phone.
Tony
They aren't picking up the phone
Robert
There's only one way to get this situation better!
Tony
And what is it?
