She wakes up with a headache, Laura is still asleep beside her, seeing as it's only 4 am. She gets out of bed, stumbles out of bed and into the bathroom, stripping off her clothes and steps into the shower, blindly turning on the shower, hoping the water will soothe her headache and her aching body. 

After spending 15 minutes underneath the hot spray, she dries herself and leaves the bathroom, padding into the bedroom where Laura is just waking up, snapping on the bedside light on her nightstand. 

"Morning babe." Laura says sleepily, Bradley closes her eyes as the glow of the light causes her head to ache even more. "Hey." She mumbles, walking into the closet. She opens her eyes and digs around in her underwear drawer. She feels awful: her head is hurting, her entire body aches and she just wants to go back to bed and sleep until she feels better but she has the morning news this week. 

As she's pulling on her black bra, arms wrap around her naked waist. "Hey, you okay?" Laura asks her softly, concern in all three words. Bradley leans into her touch and shakes her head, not having it in her to lie to her girlfriend. 

"No," she says, a slight whine to her voice. "I'm not, I have a headache, my body aches and I wanna sleep, but I've got the morning news anchor." Laura unwraps her arms from her waist and kisses Bradley on her cheek. "Change into your pyjamas and get into bed, you're not going into work today, I'll call Alex." Laura walks out of the closet before Bradley has a chance to protest. 

Dressed in a clean pair of pyjamas, with her hair brushed, Bradley crawls into her side of her bed, hearing Laura talking indistinctly on her phone to Alex. The bed is still warm from where Laura lay, she burrows down into the covers and silences her phone and shoves it underneath her pillow. 

"Alex has given us both sick days and is taking over the rest of the week. She says to get well soon." Laura says coming into the bedroom carrying a small tray. She places the small tray on Bradley's nightstand. Bradley smiles at her girlfriend as Laura hands her two Aspirin and a hot water bottle. 

"Here, take these, then go back to sleep, you'll feel better when you wake  up." Bradley takes the two Aspirin with  a gulp of water, places the hot water bottle behind her back and snuggles into the bed, giving her girlfriend a sleepy smile as her eyes close, not seeing as Laura presses a kiss to her forehead before she leaves the bedroom.

When Bradley wakes up two hours later, her headache has disappeared temporarily and her aching body has eased a little but she needs the bathroom so she walks into the bathroom. After using the bathroom and washing her hands, she walks back into the bedroom and sees Laura leaning against the bedroom door frame. 

"How you feeling?" Laura asks, entering the bedroom. Bradley gets back into bed, looking at her girlfriend. "I'm feeling better than two hours ago. Join me?" She asks Laura with a pout she knows that Laura can't say no to. Laura rolls her eyes playfully and walks over to her side of the bed, slinging an arm around Bradley's stomach. 

"Thank you for taking care of me." Bradley whispers, Laura kisses her cheek. 

"I'll always take care of you, Bradley." Laura responds. 

"I love you, Laura." Bradley whispers sleepily. Laura smiles. "I love you too, Bradley, get some sleep, I'll be here when you wake up."

Wrapped in Laura's arms, Bradley falls asleep sick and in love.
