**Carina woke up with the shivers.. she didn't know why she was shivering so bad , but she put on Maya's Seattle fire department sweater on and breastfed Niccolas ... she was rocking him to sleep **
1h39 am
Carina: shhhhhh it's okay bambino ! Ouhhhh why is it so cold in here!
**Kathleen woke up to get a glass of water, she heard Carina say something about being cold! She came up the stairs and went to see if everything was alright! **
Kathleen: everything alright in here?
Carina: what? Oh I'm feeding Niccolas and I just randomly got the shivers really bad and I can't stop shaking. That's all!
**Kathleen came back to her daughter in law's room with the thermometer in her hand and took Carina's temperature! **
Kathleen: ohhh Carina ! You are burning up ! Here open your mouth and I'll take your temperature!
Carina: what ? No it's okay you really don't have to be doing that!! I'm fine!!
It's the middle of May ! Who gets sick in the middle of May ?
Kathleen: nahhhh uhhhh ! Open ! It's fine!
** Two minutes later and The thermometer beeped and sure enough Carina had a fever of ninety nine point eight . Carina was doing a laying breastfeeding in the living room and it's somewhat easier for her and her excess of milk. **
~~The thermometer beeped ~~
Carina : it's high isn't it?
Kathleen: yea , ninety nine point eight!
Carina: fuckkkkkk ! Why am I getting sick from I don't know what now , it always happens when maya's pregnant and needs me to be the perfect wife and help her with her pregnancy...
** she was feeling so bad and like Maya deserved better than her, She put her hands on her eyes and cried.. which it eventually woke Maya up and she came downstairs to see what was going on ! **
Kathleen: ohhh Carina , it's not your fault... stop being so hard on yourself with that!
Maya : mom ? What's happening? Ohhh
Babe ! Hi. Why are you so upset?
Carina; hi , I'm sorry I am not a perfect wife, I'm always sick when you need me the most....
Maya : woah babe , I'm not blaming you for anything... it's not your fault that you get sicker than me... I'm feeling better now I barely have any Braxton hicks contractions now. I'm twenty something weeks pregnant and I'm fine! I'll take care of you,
Carina: okaaaayyyy , thank you for not blaming me for getting sick every now and then... I don't know how my immune system got so weak over the years....
Maya : it's okay..
Kathleen: well you got it covered now I'm going back to sleep now, take it easy Carina !
Carina: thank you for taking care of me, I'm not even your daughter...
Kathleen: I'm just doing what moms do, and I know your mother would be doing the same thing for you if she was still there... finish your herbal tea and get some sleep.. I'll wake up with the kids tomorrow.. okay?
Carina : alright.... Thank you!
Maya : thank you mom for taking care of her too ! I really appreciate it. Now come on babe, I'm going to cuddle with you and your blanket in our bed.
**Carina agreed and got up and she was still breastfeeding Nicco and she was feeling better knowing that she didn't have to feel guilty about being sick...**
Carina: thank you for not blaming me or even worse leaving me because it is kind of weird that every time you are pregnant and in the last trimester something always happens to me, when you were a week away from giving birth to Gio and Tore my dad unfortunately died a couple days before they were born and I couldn't grieve him properly , now with this pregnancy... I'm randomly feeling like shit, weak , shivering and having a fucking fever of ninety nine point eight.
Maya : babe , you know I never want you to feel like that again , you don't control when you are sick and I will never hold it against you, I'm doing much better now with the pregnancy, I haven't had a Braxton hicks contractions in two weeks and I have lots of energy now, I know you're going to be there for me when I go into labour so I'm definitely not worried about that, not even for one second okay ?
