The rest of the week went fairly well for Chloe, and today was Saturday. Of course today was the one day this week Chloe wasn't feeling well, and of course it had to be the same day Norah was coming for dinner. Beca had come over early that morning with her kids because Jesse was away on a business trip in Australia. "Chlo? You here?"
"Yeah I'm in bed with Camila, I don't feel well." Chloe called from her room.
"What's wrong?" Beca asked, slightly concerned.
"I have a horrible migraine. I haven't gotten sick yet and I don't think I will, but I just feel bleh." Chloe sat up and put her head on her hands.
"I'll go feed Camila breakfast, try to rest a little bit. Norah is coming tonight."
"She already ate. I definitely need to rest a little bit. I haven't even thought of what to make for dinner yet."
"I'll figure it out. I'll take Camila with us and we'll go to the store. take some aspirin too. Your headache will feel better."
"Ok, thanks so much, Becs. What time is she coming?"
"Three, I think, so we have like 2 hours. Don't worry about anything, just get ready."
"Ok, thanks so much."
Beca took all three of the kids to the store. "Alright, everyone behave and you can get candy, ok?"
Camila looked up at Beca. "Aunt Beca, is my mom ok?"
"Yeah, she just has a headache. One of her students is coming for dinner. Do you guys have any idea of what to make?"
"Spaghetti and meatballs?" Harper suggested.
"Sure! We'll go get that stuff. Then we can get soda and I'll make cookies."
Camila ran up to Beca. "but I thought mama wasn't feeling well?"
"She's gonna take some medicine and she'll feel a little bit better." Beca smiled. "You don't have to worry about it, sweetie. She's ok."
"Ok."
Beca quickly got the stuff for dinner and loaded the kids back in the car. "I'm back Chlo, I'm gonna start cooking. She'll be here in an hour."
Chloe called from her bedroom, "ok, I just feel like shit, but I mean I think I'll be ok, it's just these side affects and the lack of sleep catching up with me."
Beca popped into the room. "Ok, rest up Chlo, I'll keep her company for a bit."
"Thanks so much, Becs."
"No problem."
Beca cooked until she heard the doorbell ring. "Hi! You must be Norah. I'm Beca."
Norah smiled. "Oh you're Ms. Beale's best friend."
"Yeah!" Beca said. "She'll be out in a bit, she's not feeling too well, so I think she's just resting. I'll go get her."
"It's ok, she can rest if she needs to." Norah said nervously.
"I'll give her a few minutes. Have a seat! Would you like anything to drink?"
"I'll have a water if that's ok..." Nora said quietly. "Is Ms. Beale ok?"
"Yeah, she's just having some thing with her meds and the side effects. You can go check on her if you want. She's excited you're here."
Nora nodded and went to Chloe's room and knocked on the door. "Ms. Beale? You ok?"
"Yeah, you can come in, Norah." Chloe said. "How are you?"
Norah walked into the room and sat down on the edge of the bed. "I'm alright, how are you?"
