One too Many

Chapter 34

Ian

A ringing sound causes me to crack my eyes open. It's still dark.

I feel a soft body pressed against mine.

My Tiny Beauty.

The ringing continues until someone turns it off and then I hear shuffling on the other end of the bed.

The dim light filtering in from the hallway through the open bedroom door helps me see around the dark room a little better.

My girl's back is pressed against my front. The little guy is snuggled up to her, with her arms wrapped around him.

Asher, which I guess was on the other side of the bed, is hovering over the bedside table holding a small container and taking what looks like... I squint my eyes to get a better look, pills...
Those are pills. Why would he need pills for-

Shit! Her medicine! Fuck!!

I jerk right up startling Asher.

"What the fuck man?" He whispers yell at me.

"Her medicine!" I whisper back urgently.

"Yes. I'm going to give it to her now." He whispers back.

"What time is it? Did we miss a dose?" Fuck! I shouldn't have slept. I will never forgive myself if anything happens to her.

"Calm down, Ian" Asher calmly tells me as he sits back on the bed. "I didn't sleep in case I missed the alarm and this is the first time it rang so this is the first dose since she slept."

A sigh of relief leaves my lungs and I can breathe again. Thank Goodness.

"Why are you guys whispering?" Someone's breathy whisper fan across my ear.

I raise my hand and smack Cole upside the head. Idiot.

"Ouch, dude." He grumbles at me as he rubs his neck.

I hear the sniggering and quiet talking of the others but I completely ignore them and turn to my baby girl to wake her up only to see her awake, smiling softly at us.

"Time for medicine, baby." I tell her as I lean down and kiss her warm, juicy lips.

"When did you wake up, Angel?" Asher asks as he maneuvers Johan away from her so she can sit up.

"Around 10 minutes before the alarm rang. I got used to waking up before my medication time. I was contemplating how to get out of bed without waking you guys up when the alarm went off." She explains her voice thick with sleep.

"When we are with you, you don't have to worry about these things. Okay baby?" I slide my arm under her shoulders and then pull her up to a sitting position.

"Hmm." She leans against my chest coughing a little.

I go to brush the hair out of her face but when my hand comes in contact with her cheek I freeze in my tracks.

"You're burning up." I tell her as I rest my forehead against hers to check her temperature better.

A second later, Asher is all over her. Checking her temperature anywhere he can touch. The twins and Dom hang back to give us some room despite their worried looks.

This is not some mild fever. She is legit burning up. My hand is basically sweating from how hot her face is. Fuck.

"Fuck, Angel. Do you have a fever reducer or something? You're like a furnace. Jesus Christ." A sweet giggle escapes her as Asher fusses over her.

"I'm fine. I promise. The fever is very normal. Taking my medicine will help with it." She opens her palm in front of her and waits for Ash to drop the pills in her hand.
