Regular season is over and it's now playoffs. I've had to either stay home or watch the game from above with Tuukka due to my constant queasiness. I've never been sick, or just felt like this, for this long. It's been a little over a week.

"Babe, you should really go get checked out." Tyler says after coming home from the morning skate, the morning after their first playoff game in the first round against the Capitals, in which they won in overtime.

"It's just a bug, it will go away." I say, sipping in my cup of tea from the island, watching Tyler fix himself some lunch.

"Most bugs don't last this long." He looks up at me, concern on his face.

"I don't want to go to the doctors Ty." I whine, pushing my cup away and resting my head on the island top.

"You've got to though, what if it's something serious?"

"Well then if it gets worse, then I will go to the doctors." I look up at him as he looks back at me, clearly getting upset.

"I'm calling your aunt and scheduling an appointment." He heads for the bedroom to retrieve my phone. I chase after him, but I'm too late. He's got my phone to his ear and seconds later, he's talking.

"Hey Tia, it's Tyler, Meghan's boyfriend."

---

"I'm good, how are you?"

---

"Well she hasn't been that great, she's sick or something and I was wondering if she could come in and see you?"

---

"That'd be great, thanks."

---

"Alright thanks again, bye." He hangs up, passing me my phone and walking passed me and out of the room.

"Really Tyler?" I ask, sliding my phone on the kitchen counter.

"You've got an appointment at 2:30 tomorrow." He turns around and faces me.

"You can't go." I point out, seeing he has a game at 3.

"Well you can, Tuukka can always go I'm sure." He leans against the counter.

"Definitely not."

"You're not backing out, it's scheduled and your aunt is expecting you."

"You're a pain in my ass." I sigh, going and lying down on the couch. Tyler joins me at the end, resting my feet in his lap and playing with my toes. I jump as the apartment door swings open loudly.

"Hey hey, guess who?" Brad says, followed by Tuukka, Patrice, and Torey.

"What are you guys doing here?" I sit up.

"We haven't really seen you that much since you've started not feeling good, thought we'd stop by." Patrice says, sitting down on the couch next to me, Tuukka in the chair, Brad and Torey taking a seat on the floor.

"I've seen Tuukka." I motion over to Tuukka.

"Well he's your brother, I'd hope so." Brad says.

"You guys are practically her brothers too." Tuukka laughs.

"Are you feeling any better?" Torey asks, crossing his legs.

"I have my moments, on and off mostly. It sucks."

"She's going to the doctors tomorrow." Tyler says.

"Well that's good, I was going to call Aunt Tia if you didn't." Tuukka says, looking over at Tyler, then back at me.
