Cole x Lloyd

~•°~•°~

"Daddy!" A young blonde girl cried, erupting in a coughing fit. Another brunette girl sneezed and coughed, trying to get the same cry out.

Cole and Lloyd rushed into the girls' room, looking down at the two sick girls. The couple was still in pajamas, and there faces looked more worried than tired.

"Lloyd," Cole started, looking at his blonde husband. "Get the medicine and the thermometer."

Lloyd nodded without a word and pushed past Cole to get to the bathroom. Cole walked into his girls' room and sat on the bottom bunk of the bed. The blonde reached up to grab her father. She pulled him close and coughed and sneezed into his chest.

Cole patted her on the back. "We'll get you cured, Emma." He reached up to pat the brunette's hand. "Same to you, Molly. Just try and relax."

Molly and Emma nodded. Emma let go of her father and lay back down. She sucked in a deep breath but erupted in another coughing fit.

Lloyd rushed back into the room. A thermometer was in one hand, and a purple medicine that was barely visible in the dimly lit room was in the other. He handed both to Cole and stepped back to watch his partner do the work.

Cole reached over to Emma's head and set the thermometer on her forehead. He felt her shiver underneath it, but she stayed quiet.

The mini machine beeped, and Cole removed it from his daughter's head. "You don't have a cold, nor a fever." He concluded. He poured the medicine in a small cup, about halfway, and instructed Emma to drink it. She hesitated but soon gulped it down.

"Eww!" She exclaimed before sneezing. "Heads up, Mols! This tastes like a skunk!" Lloyd and Cole heard a smile giggle than three, shrill coughs.

"Let me see it," Lloyd said. Without wait for an answer, he took the medicine cup and the medicine from Cole and poured a bit, less than half. He reached up and gave the purple liquid to Molly. When she didn't take off, Lloyd opened her mouth and dumped it in it. Reluctantly, she swallowed.

"Ewww!" Molly whined, then coughed. "You were right, Em! Tastes horrible!" The two yawned in unison and sat back in bed. Their eyes closed, and soon, snuffling came from both of them.

"Love you!" Cole and Lloyd whispered, pecking their children on the head. The tiptoed out of the room and plopped down on their bed, falling asleep almost instantly.

"DADDY!!!"

"Oh god!"

The couple practically fell over their own feet trying to get Emma and Molly in the car to get them to the hospital so they could see if they had a fever or a cold.
