I woke up and the sunlight seaped through the curtains, making me squint at the light before rubbing the tired out of my eyes and standing up. I buttoned up my flannel all the way before groggily heading downstairs, "Mummy!" Stella cheered and ran up to me, but stopping and hugging my legs gently. "Hey baby girl, thank you for being careful." I smiled and kissed her head, "Feeling better babe?" Calum asked and I shrugged, still feeling gross. "What's wrong mummy?" Stella asked, "My tummy's icky and my throat hurts but I'll be fine, it's just a flu." I smiled and bent down to her height. "Nurse Stella and Dr.Papa are gonna take care of you." She smiled and I giggled, "Open your mouth and say 'ah'." She instructed and I did as I was told. "Papa, come here." She asked in worry, "Mummy's throat is red." Calum walked over and looked in my mouth. "Mikey, you got sick didn't you?" He frowned and I nodded as I stood up, "Can the doctors make me tea to feel better?" I smiled and Stella nodded, running off to the kitchen and pulling Calum along. "Where's Luna?" I coughed, "Asleep in her crib, don't worry." Calum smiled and I nodded, going back up to the bedroom and I laid down, my belly gargled and I mentally groaned at the pain, I closed my eyes and fell asleep, even though I didn't mean too.

I walked into the bedroom with Michael's tea and saw him fast asleep, hugging his tummy. I put his tea down on the nightstand and pulled the blanket over his waist, I went to Luna's nursery and saw her fast asleep, then going downstairs and seeing Stella fast asleep on the couch. I put a blanket over her and went up to the bedroom, but I didn't see Michael in the bed. I walked into the bedroom bathroom and saw Michael with his head in the toilet, staring down at the puddle of vomit in the bow infront of him. "Aw, babe." I cooed and knelt down next to him, "It hurts." He whimpered as he laid in my lap. "I know babe, I know." I cooed and flushed the toilet, helping Michael stand and walking him to the bed, laying him down and laying next to him. "How's Stella and Luna?" He asked, "They're both asleep, don't worry about them." I cooed and wrapped my arms around his waist, pulling him into my chest and planting a kiss on his pale neck. I snuck my hand under his flannel and rubbed his tummy, "Hey Cal." He whispered. "What princess?" I asked, "Will you always love me?" He asked. "Of course." I smiled, "Even if I got really fat? Or really skinny?" He frowned as he turned towards me, "I will love you no matter what. You're my one and only Michael." I smiled and held his cold hand, "You're my one and only too Calum." He smiled and I kissed his knuckles, then put my other hand on his forehead and smiled when I felt his fever had lowered, he ran his fingers through my hair and a weak smile grew on his face. "How did you get your hair so soft?" He giggled, "I don't know." I shrugged and pulled him into my chest, he wrapped his arms around my neck and nuzzled his head in the crook of my neck, planting a soft kiss on my neck and I kissed the spot under his ear. "Mmmmm, you smell nice." Michael hummed, his warm breath giving me goosebumps. I rubbed his back with my thumb and noticed his breathing changed, signaling he had fallen asleep. "Sweet dreams princess." I whispered against his skin, kissing his neck one final time before falling asleep as well.

"Mummy!" Stella cheered as I came downstairs, I picked her up and spun her around in my arms, making her burst into a fit of giggles. "You're all better!" She cheered and wrapped her arms and legs around my neck and waist, "Yep, no more ickies." I smiled and hugged her tight, walking into the living room and seeing Calum sitting on the couch with Luna on his lap, sucking on her green dummy and giggling about something. I sat down on the love seat and held Stella on my lap, "Mummy, I wanna sister." She stated and I bit my lip. "Did you forget about Luna?" I laughed, "No silly, I just want another sister." She shrugged as if I could make one appear out of thin air. "Maybe when Luna is older, in a couple years." I smiled, "Maybe?" She asked. "Maybe." I grinned and kissed her temple, rubbing her arm and hugging her to my chest.

"Hey Cal." Michael asked as we got into bed, "Yeah?" I asked as I pulled him to my chest and kissed his neck. "Have you maybe, I don't know....thought of having another kid?" He shrugged and held my hand, "I have, but we did just have one about 2 months ago." I smiled. "I know, but I want another baby after Luna gets older. I don't know how much older, but-" I cut him off by turning his face towards mine and planting a soft kiss on his lips, "When she's older." I clarified and a smile grew on his lips as he closed his eyes and drifted into dreamland with me.
