Getting Sick: Part 1

*Leo's POV*

I woke up the next morning with Spencer in my arms. I heard a knock on my door and quietly moved away from Spencer. I walked over and unlocked my door, opening it.

It was Donnie.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I was wondering where you put the ibuprofen. Ava has a headache," he replied.

I walked over to my dresser and picked up the pill bottle. I returned to my door and handed it to Donnie.

"Here."

"Thanks," he said as he left.

I closed my door as Spencer started to wake.

"Morning," I said with a smile.

"Morning," she said groggily.

I sat next to her. "Did you sleep well?"

She nodded. "Yeah."

"Good." I leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

She smiled before stretching. "I'm starving."

I stood and extended my hand. "Shall we go eat then, m'lady?"

She giggled and took my hand, playing along. "Why yes we shall, good sir."

I laughed and led her into the kitchen. Usually Mikey was there making something, but this morning he wasn't. I peeked into the living room asleep on the couch next to Jewel.

"Looks like we're going to have to have cereal."

Spencer rolled her eyes. "I don't want cereal. But I'm hungry, so what do you know how to make?"

"Water," I replied.

She groaned. I could tell she was still tired. She was only ever grouchy when she didn't get sleep. Or when someone was pushing her buttons. This is the reason I keep her away from Mikey.

I put a hand on her shoulder. "How much sleep did you get last night?" I asked gently.

She sighed and mumbled something.

"What?"

"3 hours," she whispered.

My eyes widened. "You said you slept good."

She looked away from me. "Yeah. For three hours."

I sighed. "I'm gonna make you some toast, and then you're going back to sleep."

She sighed again, knowing I wouldn't take no for an answer. "Fine."

I smiled and put the toast in the toaster. When it was done, I handed it to her. She didn't like butter on her toast.

"Thanks," she muttered. I watched her half heartedly eat her toast.

'Okay.' I thought. 'Something's up. She didn't sleep, and now she's not eating.'

"I'll be back," I told her, leaving the kitchen and headed towards the lab.

I knocked on the door. "Don?"

"Come in!"

I walked into the lab and saw Donnie put a glass of water on the table. Ava was holding her head.

"Is this a bad time?" I asked.

Donnie shook his head. "No. Ava just has a small headache. What's up, Leo?"

"Something's wrong with Spencer," I told him. "She didn't sleep last night and now she's not eating."

Donnie looked focused. "Where is she?"

"Kitchen," I replied.

He walked past me holding his first aid kit. I followed him into the kitchen. Spencer had barely touched her toast.

"Spencer," Donnie said, sitting next to her. "How are you feeling?"

Spencer shrugged. "My stomach hurts a little. And I have a headache. And my entire body feels sore."

Donnie looked through his box. "In like a, 'I just need to rest' kind of way, or an achy kind of way?"

"Achy," Spencer replied.

Donnie nodded and closed his box.

He stood up and began to leave the room.

"Stomach flu," he said to me as he left.

I looked at Spencer, who had begun to nibble at her toast again.

"Come on, Spence," I said taking the toast from her hand. "You need rest."

She gave a disappointed whine when I moved her away from the toast.

I chuckled. "Your toast will be there when you wake up."

She reluctantly let me lead her into my room and onto the bed. After a few minutes, Spencer was sound asleep.

*Raph's POV*

I had gone out of the apartment for air. When I came back, Katelyn was sitting on the bed, leaning up against the wall. She looked exhausted.

"Kate?" I asked.

She looked over at me and sneezed. "Hey."

Her voice sounded awful. "Are you okay?" I asked.

She nodded. "Yeah I'm *sneeze* fine."

I walked over to her. "You're not fine." I felt her forehead. She was burning!

"You're burning up!" I told her.

She sneezed again. "Did you bring any food?"

"Only some leftover pizza," I replied.

She sighed.

"You want soup?" I asked.

She nodded with another sneeze. "Yes please."

I nodded and handed her a blanks with my pillow. "Prop yourself up and use this blanket. I'll be back as soon as I can."

****time skip brought to you by me not knowing what to write!****

I walked back into the apartment, holding some soup. I saw Katelyn with her eyes half closed on the bed.

"Hey I'm back," I told her.

"Hey," she said. "Did you bring that soup?"

I nodded. "Yeah. How do you feel?"

"I feel fine," Katelyn replied. She sneezed again.

I walked over and felt her head. "You're still burning up."

Katelyn pushed my hand away. "I feel fine. Really."

I handed her the soup. "Eat this. You'll feel better. After, you'll get some sleep."

She sighed. "Fine. If you insist."

I watched her as she ate the soup. She handed me the empty bowl after a few minutes. I put he bowl in a bedside table and watched her as she fell asleep.
