"Good morning!"

Tulip raised her eyebrows as she just stared at me, she opened her mouth to say something and just spat out letters making both of us confused. "What the hell?" She asked making me smile as I shook my head.

"What was that?" I asked as she sat up, "I do not even know" She said as she rubbed her face. "I'm going for a run," I said making her smile. Tulip has a cold and when Tulip has a cold, she is very contagious.

I mean that in the sense that she sneezes and coughs into the air and genuinely acts like the world's biggest baby.

She quickly got dressed and we left the house, "Should I even be running while sick?" She asked making me blink. "You are so dramatic," I said as we started to stretch.

She started to jog making me sigh as I jogged after her, "So how are you feeling?" I asked making her sigh. "I mean with the whole everyone living with us now," I said.

"Oh, I love it! Natale finally has people his age to keep him company, I finally have a grown woman and you have a grown man. I feel like that show friends" She said making me smile.

"I was talking to your mom and she says when it's summer she and everyone will move into the house next to us," She said.

"Really? That should be interesting" I said as we started to run. We talked about our plans for summertime up until we reached the mountains.

"I will never get over this view," I said as I sighed and turned around to look at Tulip. She stared at me making me squint at her as I smiled.

She covered her eyes as she just started to hiccup and cry making my smile fade. I pulled her into my grasp making her wrap her arms around me.

"What happened? Tulip what's going on!?" I asked as I tightened my grasp on her. I slid my hands down and picked her up and she just sobbed into my chest.

"It's okay you're alright," I said as I rubbed her back. She eventually stopped sobbing then I carried her back home, I placed her back in the bed and then covered her with a blanket.

"I have to go take care of everything so will you be okay by yourself?" I asked making her nod as she looked at me, "I'll be back" I said as I kissed her head.

I walked over to the bathroom and took off my shirt, I turned on the shower as I took off the rest of my clothes and dropped them in the dirty clothes hamper. I did everything I needed to do in the bathroom then quickly changed into black sweats and a white wife beater.

I made my way to Roman's room to see him still asleep, I walked over to his windows then opened up the curtains allowing the sun to shine into his room. "Seriously?" He asked as I smiled and turned to face him.

"Yep," I said as I pulled the blanket off his body, he groaned as he stood up and walked into the bathroom as I walked out of his room. I walked over to Arabelle's room to see her staring at something on her desk, "Can you wake up Emir for me?" She asked.

"Yeah, you alright?" I asked and she gave me a thumbs up making me close her door and then walk next door to Emir's room. I walked inside to see him still sleeping, I walked over to the windows and opened up the curtains.

He groaned as I walked over to him and pulled the blanket off his body, I picked him up and placed him in front of the bathroom door making him rub his face as he walked inside.

I walked over to Jason's room to see him doing push-ups with a sleepy Ophelia on his back, "Clive is already showering" He said making me raise my eyebrows. It is so funny seeing your childhood friend be an actual parent.
