delilah
"how are you feeling?" eloise walked into my room with a pout.
"like shit." i said with a congested nose.
"i got you some soup, and ill let you know where the hot chocolate powder is. i'll hide it again once you feel better." she told me.
"thank you." i took the soup from her hands. "how's juni? i miss her."
"she's playing with iris right now. nathan and i are gonna take them to the park before sunset." she told me.
"that's good, send me videos." i smiled.
"i will, also..." she paused for a second. "luna called."
"why'd she call you?"
"well... you were asleep for 24 hours straight so she called me. she was just asking about juniper." she told me.
"and? get to the point before you catch what i have, im probably extremely contagious."
"she heard you were sick and asked if she could finally have juni overnight again. i told her you were the one that needed to approve of that and she needed to talk to you. so maybe just call her." she told me.
"fine." i sighed. "now get out, you can't get sick with nathan here and who gonna take care of the girls?"
"i'm leaving!" she walked out and closed the door behind her.
i grabbed my phone and called luna. "hey."
"you sound like shit."
"thank you, i'm aware." i replied. "you want juniper tonight?"
"yes, please." she replied quickly.
"tell me why, tell me exactly how you're going to get her ready for bed." i told her.
"i'll make her, mac and cheese. her favorite and then im going to shower her and make sure that she brushes her teeth, and that her hair is fully dry. the room shouldn't be too hot or too cold. she likes bed time stories so im going to read her dr. suess she usually just falls asleep then, but if she doesn't ill tuck her in and kiss her forehead. i'll make sure she knows that im right outside the door, she'll fall asleep. i have to check on her two times minimum before i go to sleep myself." she told me.
"wait at least half an hour after dinner before giving her a bath. the room shouldn't be below seventy degrees luna." i replied.
"yes, okay. got it. does that mean i can have her over night?" she asked.
"yes, talk to elle. she and nathan are taking the girls to the park later. maybe you can be with them, talk to them, im going to back to sleep." that phone call just took all of my energy back to zero. the two sips i had from the soup went right back out seconds later. my fever wasn't budging either. "nathan!!!" i yelled.
"what?" my door swung open.
"i need to go to the doctors and get an iv drip or something. i feel like im dying." i sat up.
"okay, let me get the car heated up." he said.
"make sure the girls are in their room when i get out please." i said.
"i'll do that."
the next two hours were a roller coaster, constant throwing up, snot everywhere, felt like i was dying, then nathan was yelling at the poor nurses for the hold up and i slowly but finally started feeling better. i smelled like and looked like absolute shit. "juniper wants to talk to you." nathan flipped his phone screen to my face and handed me it, then proceeded munch on his chips he got from the vending machine.
