Minji Imagines (gxg)

when your child is sick (requested)

The sound of the bedroom door opening before small but hurried footsteps approached you caused your eyes to fly open.

Mia rarely ever wakes up in the middle of the night and when she does, it usually means that something has happened.

You rolled over and turned the lamp on before her little hand could even touch your arm.

"Mommy?"

You reached over and shook Minji's shoulder to get her to wake up.

"What's the matter, baby?" You asked her and watched her put her hand over her stomach.

"My tummy hurts badly."

Minji was wide awake right away upon hearing that Mia wasn't feeling well.

"Just your tummy is bothering you?" Minji asked.

She shook her head.

"What else hurts?"

"Nothing but I'm hot."

You leaned forward and felt her forehead.

"Minji, she's running a fever." You said worriedly.

"I feel like I'm gonna throw up," Mia whined before reaching out for you to pick her up.

Just as you went to pick her up and pull her onto the bed with you and Minji, she threw up everywhere.

Minji gasped and felt her heart ache in her chest over the sound and realization that her baby was sick.

"Oh, honey," You said as Mia stopped puking just a few seconds later.

It hadn't lasted very long but the damage had been done as the bedroom floor was covered in puke, as were her socks and clothes.

"Mommy," She cried as Minji came over to her.

"It's okay, baby," She soothed and picked Mia up. "Don't worry, we've got you. Let's get you changed and all cleaned up."

Mia shook her head and whined in discomfort.

"What's wrong?" You asked as you got up from the bed.

Mia started to gag so Minji rushed into the bathroom and gently placed her on the floor before she threw up into the toilet.

As Minji cared for her and comforted her, you took the time to clean up the mess on the hardwood floor.

After you were done, you went into Mia's room to get her some clean pajamas just as Minji began to clean her up as she finally seemed done vomiting.

"Is she okay?"

"I don't know." Minji sighed as she finished cleaning Mia up. "She still feels warm and she threw up quite a lot."

You noticed how tired Mia seemed to be too which wasn't anything abnormal considering it was three-twenty in the morning and she's usually sound asleep by now.

But she looked more exhausted than usual and all you wanted was to get her back into bed.

"Oh, my poor baby," Minji said as she comforted Mia when she curled up in her arms, whimpering and crying.

"Are you feeling better, honey?"

She just closed her heavy eyes and nodded tiredly at you.

You grabbed a washcloth and wiped her warm cheeks and then the rest of her face.

"Should I run her a bath?"

"Tomorrow. She's exhausted."

You nodded at your wife before gently brushing your fingers through Mia's hair.

"Besides, she's clinging to me like a koala right now. I don't think she's letting go anytime soon."

"Should we put her in our bed for the night? We both know we won't get any sleep whether she's in our room or her own."

"Yeah, I think that's a good idea." She agreed before carefully standing up from the floor with Mia still secure in her arms.

While she carried her back to your shared bedroom, you went to Mia's room to grab a couple of things for her.

Her favorite stuffed animal and her favorite blanket - both things that she can't seem to sleep without.

You returned to the bedroom to see your daughter cuddling up to Minji and when you handed her favorite blanket to her and watched her cover Mia up with it, she seemed much more comfortable.

"I brought your favorite stuffed animal too."

Minji placed the stuffed puppy in Mia's hand and she snuggled up to it instantly.

"There we go, baby. Sleep tight and have sweet dreams." You whispered as you climbed into bed with your girls.

"If you feel sick again or you need anything, you can wake us up right away."

Mia was already sound asleep by the time Minji told her that but she knew it already anyway.

"It's going to be a long, sleepless night. I can feel it already."

"Me too," Minji replied, yawning after. "Let's at least try to get some rest while she sleeps. I love you."

"I love you too."

You pulled the blanket over your chest and closed your eyes to try and sleep, though you knew with the worry you felt for your very sick little girl that sleep wasn't going to come easily for you tonight.

All you wanted was for her to feel better.
