I hear low mumbling as I go in and out of sleep. Feeling hot I yank the blanket off of my face, frowning when I feel a bright light around me. Shutting my eyes I move away from the hard wall my body was facing.

I couldn't get too far as I felt a light tug pulling me towards the body again.

An agitated groan leaves my mouth as I push myself onto my elbows,

"Munchkin what are you-." I squeeze my eyes as the voice causes my headache to increase. Eventually, I force my eyes open, only to have them close tightly when I see a blurred view of the living room. My head starts to feel heavy and I fall back onto the soft surface I was lying on, kicking the blanket off my body.

I feel a cool hand against my forehead and let out a content sigh, moving my head toward the person.

"Munchkin you're burning up!" Recognizing Gabe's voice I open my eyes and look at him tiredly. I try my best to say I'll be alright but my sore throat didn't allow the words to escape me. Trembling hands are placed around me as they shift my body, placing me in a comfortable position. "Sandro you need to come here, now." I hum and move away from the voice, "N-N-Nono" I whisper through my scratchy throat. Nono always makes me feel better.

"What was that sweetheart?" Gabe places his hands on my burning forehead, moving some strands of hair out of my face.

"N-No-"

"Gabriel what happened?" a deep voice questions loudly and I shut my eyes tightly, tears starting to slip through because of my pained head and frustration of not having Nono.

"WHY IS SHE CR--"

"Poor baby's sick," Gabe whispers and moves the person away, "she keeps saying no, and I'm trying to figure out-"

Two more familiar voices join in, speaking on top of one another. My expression causes them to quiet down and move away from the couch. A rough hand soon replaces Gabe's soft one and places my favorite stuffy beside me. I sigh in content and hug Nono closer to my chest, also snuggling closer to the hand.

A couple of moments later Gabe lovingly whispers me awake and gently sits me on the couch, handing me some medicine. Although it was a bit blurry to see what exactly I was given, I take it without doubt and gulp the cool water.

"Shh, slowly there." a voice chuckles.

The water that dripped down my chin was wiped by another hand and I was moved back to lay on the couch.

The addition of a cool rag and gentle hands massaging my head eventually lulled me to sleep.
