Choni Family One Shots and stories

Rowan is sick Part 1

Toni's POV:
It's 6 am on a wednesday morning. Our alarm goes off as usual. I turn over to my wife Cheryl, to find her beautiful, bright red hair sprawled out on her pillow. I just sit for a moment and admire her beauty. She slowly starts to wake up and opens her gorgeous brown eyes.
"Good morning honey", Cheryl says while stretching.
I just smile and say good morning back. We kissed for a few minutes before starting our morning as we always do. I go downstairs to prepare breakfast and lunches for the kids, while Cheryl goes to wake them up.

Cheryl's POV:
Toni and I kiss quickly before starting our morning routine. I can hear her turning on some soft music in the kitchen, while getting everything ready for breakfast. Meanwhile I wake up our beautiful kids. First one is Jason, because he is the easiest to get up. I open the door slowly and turn on the light. He lets out a groan but opens his eyes immediately. It always makes me smile to see how much he looks like my dear brother Jason. His bright red hair and beautiful brown eyes.
"Good morning baby boy", I say as I make my way over to his bed. I always give my kids a kiss on the head and make them drink some water. Hydration is the key to our morning routine.
"Get ready and then come downstairs to eat some breakfast alright?". He just nodded and yawned, clearly not fully awake yet.

I make my way to Rowan's room next. She is definitely not a morning person at all. I always make sure to wake her softly, because we found out she just needs a few more minutes to fully wake up and get ready for the day. Routine is the key for her. Without it she will be grumpy and shut off. I walk to her bed and sit down on it. I always start by stroking her beautiful long locks while gently trying to wake her up. After a few moments she cuddles into my side and lays her head on my chest. I just smile and watch her for a few minutes before making sure to fully wake her up. She sits up and stretches before saying her good mornings.

I make my way to the rest of the kids' room. I let them stay in bed a little longer., while I start preparing their clothes and backpacks. After I'm finished, I help the little ones getting dressed and brushing their teeth. After we are all done, we make our way downstairs to the kitchen. Toni and Jason are already sitting by the table, talking quietly about some stuff I can't fully make out.

After a good 20 minutes, the whole family starts eating breakfast and talks about their days. Jason has football practice, Rowan is free that day, Rose has gymnastics and Finley swim practice. Josie and I will stay home, while Toni is working. By the way, Toni started her career as a professional Photographer while I studied to become a kids psychologist, helping little kids who are being abused at home. Toni has her own studio and I my own office. I took some time off after Josie was born and have now to start going back to work.

Toni's POV:
"Alright my sunshines, lets go and get to school", I said after all the kids finished their breakfast. They all went upstairs to get their jackets, shoes and backpacks on. After they made their way back downstairs, we said our goodbyes to Cheryl and piled into our van. I first drop the little kids off at primary school and then the twins plus Rose to high school. We all said our goodbyes and I love you's after we seperade our ways. Today is going to be a chill day for me. I only have some editing to do.

Cheryl's POV:
After Toni and the kids all got out of the house, to go to school, I started putting the dishes from breakfast away. After I finished that, I made myself a cup of coffe, while sitting down in the living room to check my emails. After I finished that, I started to do some laundry. Let me tell you, five kids means lots of laundry and dirty clothes. 
Just as I was about to finish the second load for today, my phone started ringing.
"Hello?", I answer.
"Hi, is this the mother of Rowan Blossom-Topaz?", a female voice asks.
"Yes, I'm Cheryl, her mother, is something wrong?", I ask a little worried. We have never gotten a call from Rowan's school before.
"Rowan is at my office right now, saying she is not feeling well and wanted to know if it is possible to come and pick her up?". The woman, I suppose the principal says.
"Of course, I will be there in 10". And like that we hang up. I quickly grab my purse and keys and go to the car.

10 Minutes later:
I pull into the schools parking lot and lock the car. I make my way inside to the principals office, already spotting Rowan's long, red locks from the end of the hall. She does look really pale, even more pale than usual.
"Hi baby girl." I greet her. I hug her and she snuggles close to me. I put the back of my hand to her forehead only to find it burning. My poor baby I thought, as I continue to stroke her hair.
"Are you ready to go home cutie?" I ask her. She gives me a weak nod and a little smile, before getting up and walking towards the car.

At home:

I tell Rowan to go and lay down in either her room, our room or the living room. She immediately goes to Toni and I's room, laying down on my side of the bed, snuggling into my pillow and inhaling my scent. She has always been such a momma's girl, so it doesn't really take me by surprise. I go to our bathroom and get the thermometer out. I make my way over to her and put the thermometer into her ear, waiting for the beep.
The thermometer read 102.5, which is pretty high but nothing alarming. I give her some medicine for her fever, before getting up to lay down next to her. She instantly snuggles into me and lays her head in the crook of my neck. I rub shooting circles on her back and hair. I can tell she is fighting sleep, by the way she leans into me more heavily and her breathing becoming more even. I stay a little longer to make sure she is fully asleep and get myself up from the bed. I go downstairs to call Toni and letting her know what is going on. She tells me to make sure I tell Rowan how much she loves her and to feel better.

I just hope she will sleep off her fever. I hate when my babies are sick, however won't say no to those sweet sick cuddles.
