Family With Him (Aarmau Fanfiction)

Taking care of gramps

Aaron's pov
I'm really worried about Dad. So worried that it's hard to work. Last time he was this sick, I was only twenty. My mother called me and said that dad couldn't do anything because he was sick and asked me to help around the house. I agreed because I didn't have much else to do, but that was years ago. Dad was younger. He is much older now. I hate to work while he's downstairs miserable, but if I don't then he'll insist that he do it. I trust Alina has everything under control.

This is so hard! I didn't think gramps was this sick. I need help! I can't ask dad because I know he's busy. I don't know how to make soup! I can barely heat up canned soup!
Gramps is taking a nap right now, but he'll need to eat when he wakes up. Maybe I can call the maid cafe and ask Laurance to bring some soup to my house. The cafe isn't that busy during this time of day and he's done it before.
I grabbed my phone and dialed his number.
"Hello, this is Lau.."
"Uncle Laurance! I need your help! My gramps is sick and I need soup!" I said.
He laughed.
"Please, Laurance! I need help." I asked desperately.
"Sure. I'll be there soon. What kind of soup?" He asked.
"Chicken soup will do." I said.
"Okay. See ya."
I put my phone down.
Okay now that that's done I have one less thing to worry about.
Wait! Temperature!
I can't exactly take it now that he's alseep, but I can at least prep to take his temperature and maybe get out some medicine. Like Advil and some cough medicine.
Dad came back downstairs and wemt straight for coffee.
"Tired?" I asked remembering it was only 9am.
He nodded and started back up the stairs.
My Irene I hadn't noticed the bags under his eyes until now. He really needs some sleep. That's it. I'm taking care of my dad and my gramps today.
I texted Laurance I needed two soups. He sent the thumbs up emoji.
Dad is going to be as comfortable as possible while working. I'll be sure of it! As for gramps I need to focus on helping him get well.
Gramps was slightly awake so I took his temperature. One hundred and one. It's still at a good level. I made him take some medicine. He soon fell back to sleep.
Luckily he woke up just as Laurance dropped the soup off.
I took one up to dad and thanked me. I then handed some to gramps. I watched carefully as he ate.
Then I got a text.
"Hey Alina are you still up for today?" Dawn asked.
"Oh I'm soooooo sorry, my gramps is super sick. You can come over and help if you want."
"Um. No thankyou. I'll just go out with Tyler today I guess. I hope your grandfather gets better."
I knew she would end that conversation fast when I mentioned sickness. She really wants to go to the dance this weekend. She has put so much into it. Since I told Micah I wasn't really down for it anymore, I haven't even thought about going.
I looked at the clock. It's eleven now. Dawn really slept in.
I heard the a knock on the door and answered it.
"Hi. I heard your grandfather was sick. So I came to help!" David said.
I backed up.
"Wow that was quick." I said.
"Hey! He's technically my great uncle. Hold on, he's my mom's uncle, so that does make him my great uncle. Right?" He asked.
"I think so." I said.
He shrugged.
He walked in tried to help me in every way he could. This day might not be the worst.
