"We're going to the hospital, okay, sweet girl? Everything will be fine." Hayden stands up, quickly puts on his boxer shorts and sweatpants, I'm still naked when Hayden comes dressed, he takes Anakin out of my arms so I can get dressed.
We quickly get in the car. Hayden drives to the hospital faster than allowed.
"Okay, the nurse said the doctor won't take long." Hayden hugs me while tears are still rolling from my eyes.
After twenty minutes the doctor came and told us that Anakin had nothing serious or life-threatening. When Anakin had his blood drawn, I cried even harder when he started crying.
I wish I were in his place, that's how it must have been for my mom when one of us was sick, she always wished she was the one who was sick, just so she wouldn't see us suffer.
At home I lay Anakin on the bed between us after I gave him a suppository in the hospital and of course I cried because the suppositories can be damn uncomfortable. Anakin sleeps peacefully, his fever goes down a little but I still can't sleep.
"Get some sleep, sweet girl." says Hayden, who also can't sleep.
"I can't." I whisper and look at Anakin who is snoring quietly, his cheeks are red and his mouth is slightly open.
I trace the outline of his nose with my finger, then stroke his flushed cheeks with my finger.
"I wish I were in his place." I whisper and lie down next to Anakin, his hand clutching my finger.

"Good morning, sweet girl." Hayden is sitting with Anakin in the kitchen, feeding him baby food.
"Good morning, my beauties." I say and kiss both of them on the cheek.
Hayden slaps my butt, which makes Anakin laugh, and hearing him laugh is by far the nicest thing I've ever heard.
"I took his temperature and he's back to normal," says Hayden.
"That's good news," I say and sit on Hayden's lap and kiss his mouth.
"There's coffee and breakfast." Hayden murmurs against my lips.
"You're the best husband." I smile and get up from his lap. He slaps my ass again and Anakin laughs loudly.
"I have to run some errands." I tell Hayden as I get dressed and sit on his lap.
"Mmmh. Are you needy today, wife?" he asks.
"Yes, so needy, husband." I say and press my mouth to his.
Hayden turns me onto my back and kisses my neck, which makes me giggle. "Hayden, I have to go shopping." I say and pull on his hair to make him look at me. "When I get back we can continue." I kiss his cheek and he rolls off me. It's good when you have a little time for yourself as a mother. This half hour did me good. I was able to do my shopping in peace without a baby whining.
At home I see that Anakin is lying on his father's chest and is sleeping soundly, as is Hayden. Both have their mouths slightly open and are snoring quietly. I quickly take a photo of the two of them and put my phone back in my pocket. I put the sanitary pads and all the things a woman needs in the bathroom cupboard.
Then I lie down on the bed with my two boys and snuggle up to Hayden. I close my eyes happily and fall asleep.
When someone touches my face and gently pulls my hair, I open my eyes and look into two blue eyes. I smile and gently take Anakin's hand from my hair before he puts it back in his mouth.
"Hello, sweetheart." I say and press kisses on his face, which makes him squeal.
"And what about the sweetheart's father?" I turn my head to Hayden and smile at him.
I kiss Hayden's mouth and stroke his chest with my free hand before gently pushing him away because he has deepened the kiss and Anakin tries to pull our faces apart with his small hands.
"Have you done your shopping?" Hayden asks and strokes my hair.
"Yes. Only women's things." I mumble.
Anakin touches my shirt and I lift him up so he can sit on my stomach. He babbles to himself. Hayden puts an arm around my waist and nestles his face in the crook of my neck.
