Happy Little Family [M. Reader x Assistant RF Wally]

🌡| Sickness, Part I |🌡

((I'm back y'all 👋))

[TW: Vomiting]

*Flu season came around and it didn't take long until Jay got sick. You know how other kids are, unhygienic, hyper, and messy, it was bound for the poor boy to get sick from one of them. However, the whole household came down with the flu within a week, both you and Wally had to call out sick due to that.*

—————[2:18 PM]—————

*You're cooking chicken soup since Wally had a fever and Jay had to be watched over by someone. Your symptoms weren't as bad as your husband's but you still felt fatigued and sluggish. The soup was almost done, you're just waiting for it to cool down. Your thoughts were interrupted by Wally yelling from upstairs.*

"JAY IS GETTING WORSE!!"

*Wally shouted, you immediately rushed to get to the bedroom and you saw Jay covered in his own puke.*

"He's getting worse, I think it's about time we took him to the hospital...His fever just spiked too.."

*Your husband explained to you, worry etched on his face. You gave a nod in response and helped Jay change into clean clothes, thankfully he hadn't gotten too messy from that. *

"Get changed and then turn on the car, I'll be getting some stuff for in case we need to stay overnight."

*You said sternly, a tone you only used since you knew it made people follow your orders. Wally did as he was told and you packed a backpack that was filled with extra clothes, food, water, and other necessities.*

—————[4:59 PM]—————

*The drive to the hospital wasn't long, what was long was having to wait almost three hours in the waiting room with a sick toddler. So you were very relieved when you were finally able to enter. Thankfully, nobody had to stay overnight, the doctor prescribed Jay with a medication that will prevent him from throwing up. You and Wally checked out and were able to go home.*

—————[7:24 PM]—————

*You hadn't realized how much time had passed until you looked up at the clock. You gave an exhausted sigh and walked over to the kitchen to serve the soup, it was still warm and very aromatic.*

"Yummy!"

*Jay exclaimed as he used his small spoon to eat, the action put a small smile on your face. The meal was light enough for him to eat without issue. Things were starting to wind down as night set in.*

"Ah, I didn't know you were so good a cooking..."

*Wally crooned, his voice coming out slightly hoarse due to his sore throat.*

"Well, usually you'd be the one cooking dinner but the flu made us switch things up."

*You replied, stirring your spoon in the soup, you didn't have much of an appetite after the stressful day.*

"I know that tone, darling! You must be exhausted, I'll cuddle you after dinner, okay?"

*Wally said with a mildly flirtatious wink at the end that made you blush.*

—————[8:30 PM]—————

*You and Wally were cuddling, like always. Jay was in his room sleeping, but occasionally you went to check up on him.*

"I love these moments..."

*Wally confessed, his neck buried in the crook of your neck. You nuzzled him in response.*

"It's nice being off work, even if we have to spend our time sick..."

*You yawned and shifted into a more comfortable position. It would probably be another one of those night where you fell asleep on the couch and Wally carried you to bed.*

*You were right, you fell asleep shortly after. But now the flu is going to get worse for you, and Wally is going to be walking on eggshells trying to help both you and Jay.*
