Sophie had been acting a bit weird lately. She was a lot more tired and she was coming out of her headspace more. So the boy's decided to figure out what was wrong with her.

Sophie had woke up not that long ago and she had just finished eating a few minutes ago so she was wide awake by now. She was now up in her room playing with her barbies. 

"Hey Soph?" Ashton called from downstairs. "Can you come here?" He shouted to her. Next thing you know you can hear little feet hitting the steps and Sophie appeared at the bottom of the stairs. "Can you come here babe?" He asks patting his lap lightly. Sophie didn't move though. She just stood there. She had a slightly scared emotion on her face.

"Sophie's a big girl, isn't she?" Ashton asked softly. Sophie nodded a bit, looking down. "Come here" he says softly, patting the couch beside him.

Sophie then comes over and sets beside him, looking down at her lap and playing with her fingers. "Are you feeling okay Sophie?" Ashton asked softly.

"Yeah... why?" She asked a bit confused. "No reason, I just wanted to make sure my baby was okay" he says softly. "I'm fine Ash, thanks. I'm going to go back up to my room." She says and gets up, going back up the stairs and disappearing.

Ashton laid back on the couch and closed his eyes with a sigh. As Ashton did Calum walked in and sat next to him. "Hey" he says softly, brushing Ashton's hair back out of his face. "Hey..." he mumbles, his eyes still closed.

"What's wrong baby?" Calum asks softly, laying his head on Ashton's shoulder lightly. "I just want the best for Sophie, ya know... I don't know what's wrong with her." He says sounding irritated. "Maybe it's just a faze that she's going through, give it time" Calum say softly, moving a bit so he sat in Ashton's lap with his head on Ashton's chest lightly. Ashton smiled a bit. "Maybe."

Later that day Calum and Ashton were in the kitchen, Calum was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for Sophie while Ashton stood behind him with his arms wrapped around the smaller boy's waist and his chin on Calum's shoulder lightly. "Soph!" Calum called to her when he finished and he heard footsteps coming quickly.

Sophie appeared beside the two, sneezing. "Hey, you okay baby?" Calum asked softly, looking at her, seeing that her nose was red and her eyes were a bit red. Not a crying red though. Like a sick red. "I-I-I'm f-" she starts talking but gets interrupted by a few sneezes and a cough. "Hey, is my princess sick?" Calum says placing a hand under her chin, examining her face. She looks down a bit. "Hey, go up to your room and we'll get you some soup and me and Ash will be up there in a minute." Calum says softly.

They watch as Sophie nods and makes her way up the stairs and to her room. Calum turns to Ashton and places his hands on his chest. "She's sick, Ash" Calum mumbles sadly. "That's what wrong with her". Ash looks down a bit.

As long as they've had Sophie with them, you can tell that Ashton doesn't like it when Sophie's sick. He thinks he has to do everything in the world. Which is nice. But he knows he can't really do anything so he feels really bad. None of the boy's like seeing Ashton like that.

"Hey, she'll be okay. I bet she wants her daddy, so go up there and make her smile" Calum says softly, placing a hand on the boy's jaw and lightly kissing him. He gets a response of Ashton kissing him back and his arms around his waist, pulling Calum to him. Calum giggles lightly and places his hands on Ashton's chest. "Go take care of Sophie, I'll be there in a second" he says sweetly.

He watches Ashton leave and go up to Sophie. He really did love this little family that they had. He loved the boy's and Sophie. They meant everything to him.

He smiles to himself and gets Sophie some soup. Once he's finished he goes up the stairs quietly.
