The First Times

First Sickness

The next day after Benny's first time over with his mother, Ana started to feel sick.

The blizzard had stopped and Ana insisted of going out with Benny before he left so they could do snow angels. The grown ups went with them and the kids were playing for what seemed hours, but were only twenty minutes before Mrs. Troyer decided to go home. Neither Ana or Benny looked really upset, knowing they would see each other at school the next day.

By the end of the day, Ana was getting very sleepy and was without her scarf and hat, claiming she was too hot. Thankfully for her, classes were about to be over and Nico was picking her up that day. Benny waited next to her for Nico, who was worried the second she saw Ana. One look at his daughter and he could tell she was getting sick.

After getting home and making her take a bath, Nico put down Ana for a nap, hoping she could feel better later. However, Ana woke up several hours later, with higher fever and ruddy nose. Nico looked torn between calling a doctor or calling Will. Also, Ana was adamant into seeing both Nico and Will, calling for him weakly.

Not reaching the decision if it was stupid or not, Nico decided to dress Ana and take her to the Hospital. She could see Will and, if it got worst, the doctors there could take a look at her. Unfortunately for them, Will had taken the car, which made them take the bus. Nico was checking Ana every single second, while Ana was struggling to keep awake.

"I don'd feel so good, Papà..." She finally mumbled softly once they were on the bus. Nico smiled in acknowledgement and sat her down on the seats, him from the hallway side, while she had the window.

"I know, Ana... That's why we're going to see him..." He explained to her.

"You dhink he'll be mad...? Dhad I got sick?" Ana wondered, worried. Nico looked at her as if she was crazy, playfully obviously.

"Why you think so, Ana? He's never gonna get mad because of that, especially at you..." He told her, sweetly, while stroking her hair.

"Whad if he geds mad ad you? I don'd like when you dwo are mad ad each other- Achoo!" She sneezed, using a little tissue to blow her nose. Nico sighed and cleaned her nose, before pulling her onto him. "I don'd like when you dwo ged mad..." She repeated, before leaning on him closing her eyes. It took Nico seconds to figure out she was asleep.

"I promise he won't get mad at me and we won't argue..." He promised her, kissing her forehead. He looked outside the window, really hoping the trip didn't last long. At the moment, the last concern on his mind was Will's reaction to their arrival. As soon as they arrived to the Hospital, Nico carried her down, her head on his shoulder.

Crossing the front doors, Nico headed directly to where he knew residents took naps. It would be the perfect spot for Ana to rest a little while he looked for either Will or a doctor who could look at her. To his immense luck, Will walked through the door that moment, with the intention of taking a twenty-minute nap.

To say he was shocked was too little.

Knowing that words wouldn't help the situation, Nico let Will check Ana wordlessly. Ana woke up a minute or two and smiled when seeing him. Despite the need to tear a new one to Nico, Will smiled back at her, reassuring her that everything was going to be fine and that he would get some medicine for her. Ana nodded before falling asleep again.

When Will returned with the medicine, he was wearing his trench coat and scarf along. Nico took the hint and picked Ana up, walking out of the Hospital. Will was so angry he decided against driving and guided them towards the bus stop, that seemed to be waiting for them. Immediately, the small family climbed up and Will couldn't wait a second longer to express his sentiments.

"What possessed you taking her out in her state?" He whispered yell at Nico, who sighed as he had been waiting that reaction.

"She wanted to see you." Nico admitted, also low. "She kept calling for you and wouldn't had stopped until she did-"

"You should had insisted harder, Nico." Will complained. "She's not like me or you... She could had gotten pneumonia!"

"Could you please keep your voice down?" Nico asked, a small glare on his features. Not a 'shut up, I hate you', but a 'please, mind the situation before yelling'. "Even if I could had convinced her, she was going to insist until she saw you there..."

"Nico, the temperatures are getting really low..." Will stated, trying to control his temper. "I'd hate to have her rushed into the Hospital because she 'wanted to see Daddy'." He quoted at the end while Nico just shook his head and kept quiet.

"I'm not gonna dignified that with an answer, Solace." He said while placing Ana better in his arms and using his hands as thermometer. He frowned a little, hoping she had a little fever.

"When we're getting home and placing her in her bed, we're so gonna talk about this..." Will stated, serious.

"I promised her that we wouldn't argue..." Nico quickly replied, not looking at him. "We're gonna talk, because if I hear you raise your voice at me again..."

"Fine. We'll talk. But you can't escape this one."

This is taken from Mortals: Meet... part 2. I had to fix some things to fit the timeline of the story, which I'll fix for the revise version too later. Please, I apologize for my continuity errors (though, part of me wants to keep them, like Conan Doyle).
