Katie's POV

After Jen and I spoke in the hallway I went and sorted out the dinner and Jen went up to Scarlett, she's really worried about her and she doesn't need to be. After dinner I went upstairs, I don't know what Jen did and I leave it that way. I don't want to tell Jen yet, she's wanted to kill me enough today. I'll wait till the right time.

I'm sitting on my bed in blue and white check pyjama bottoms and a light grey pull over hoodie with my laptop in my lap just browsing out of boredom. I set my laptop aside getting up and go into Scarlett's room to see how she is. It is only like seven thirty, she'll be up. I creak the door open and peer through seeing Scar awake with Huggy in her lap. She looks at me when she hears the door and smiles weakly.

"Hey," I grin enthusiastically to her and jump on her bed.

"Hi," She giggles and I tickle her chest with my finger.

"How you feelin?" I ask curiously, she was in pretty bad shape this morning.

"Bad," She replies and I frown looking at Huggy in her lap.

"What you doing?" I smile to her in an attempt of conversation.

"Playing," She mumbles looking down at Huggy in her lap.

I prop myself up on my elbow and rest my head on my hand.

"Wanna watch a movie?" I ask her and she looks up and grins so I wiggle my eyebrows.

"Yes please," She giggles and I laugh getting up and grabbing the tv remote.

"Can we watch in your room?" She asks me.

"There's no sheets on my bed Bug," I tell her sadly.

"Why do you want to do that anyway?" I smile slightly at her and sit back down on the bed.

"Comfy," She says and I smile.

"It's comfy here too even for me the person who doesn't fit on your bed cause I'm too tall," I joke and she giggles.

"What you want to watch?" I laugh at her.

"Oh actually I know," I interrupt her.

"Have you seen Toy Story yet?" I ask her and she shakes her head.

"Oh god I'm so happy, I get to be the person who introduces you to Toy Story," I laugh and she just looks at me in confusion.

"You shall see young one," I ruffle her head and go to ask Jen if she wants to watch it.

"Where you going?" She asks me in a worried tone.

"Just gonna ask Mom if she wants to watch," I reply and close the door behind me.

There it is again! It keeps rolling off my tongue. Maybe I am ready to say it? I don't know! Fuck it I'll think about this later.

"Jen," I call as I dismount to last step of the staircase.

"Yeah!" She calls back from what I'm guessing is the living room.

I walk in and stand in the door way. She sits on the couch with her feet on the coffee table and her laptop in her lap and glasses on.

"I'm about to introduce Scarlett to Toy story," I laugh and she smiles.

"And you right there geek," I mock her in a thicker northern Irish accent than usual. Closing her laptop and taking off her glasses she laughs at my voice.

"Yes I'm," She pauses and raises her hands to form quotation marks.

"Right here," She mocks and I laugh walking further into the room and sitting on the coffee table in front of her.

I go to open my mouth but am interrupted by the sound of feet coming across the hall.

I look to my right and am greeted by Scarlett in the doorway.

"Sweety what're you doing out of bed?" Jen asks her and I interrupt her.

"It's okay she's goin back in one sec," I tell Jen and she looks back at me and back to Scar a few times.

"You said you would watch a movie," Scarlett pouts and I snigger.

"Will everyone shut up!" I tell them and they both look at me.

"Thank you," I laugh.

"Now Jen would you like to be a child again?" I ask her and she laughs at me.

"I'll take that as a yes," I laugh and stand up holding my hand out for her to take.

"Hell yeah," She corrects me and takes my hand. I pull her up and she walks over to Scarlett in the doorway sweeping her off her feet as Scar giggles and marches up the stairs with me behind her.

"How about my room," Jen says and walks into her room.

"Thank god for that, I don't fit on that hobbit bed of hers," I laugh.

"You and me both," She replies and puts Scar on her bed.

"Could you get the thermometer from the bathroom?" Jen asks me as she feels Scarlett's forehead.

"Uh yeah," I reply and grab it quickly and give it to Jen.

"Keep it under your tongue," Jen tells her and Scar nods with the thermometer in her mouth.

"How was she today? I didn't get to ask." I ask Jen in a guilty tone.

"She was okay. She has a temperature though and a headache every now and again," Jen sighs back and sits down beside Scarlett rubbing her head soothingly.

"Not to bad, it's probably just a virus," I reply and she nods back.

We are interrupted by the beeping of the thermometer and Jen quickly grabs it and reads it.

"102 degrees," Jen looks to me.

"Is that bad?" I ask her cause I have no idea.

"Yes that's bad," She mutters.

"Hold on," I tell her and she does. I grab my phone from my room and come back into Jen's room googling about body temperatures.

"Here there's an article that says if 102 degrees lasts more than two days then you should see a doctor," I try and reassure her and she nods uneasily.

"She'll be fine," I squeeze her shoulder soothingly and she nods.

"Now come on let's watch the movie," I smile to her encouragingly and she nods and forces a smile.

"Come on Jen!" I shout enthusiastically and she laughs.

"The joy of references," I laugh at her as she gets into bed making herself comfortable.

"Especially from my movies," She tells me and I laugh.

"So what if it's from your movie," I smirk and get on top of the bed. I'm on the left with Scar on my right and Jen beside her.

"This is iconic," I laugh referring to Scarlett seeing toy story for the first time.

In response Scar smiles weakly and curls into Jen's side.

She's not in good shape I can tell but she'll be fine. It's nothing serious.
