Demi POV

Waking up this morning feeling like absolute shit, but I got up anyways to hit the studio today. I turn to find an empty spot next to me with a smell lingering in the room. Pancakes and Waffles. Y/n makes the best pancake and waffles I've ever ate. I fight my headache to get down stairs before they're all gone.

Making it to the kitchen I see Aly at the table chowing doing on some bacon and Y/n at the stove finishing up the pancakes.

"Good morning." Y/n smiles but it soon turns to more of a concern. "Baby... You don't look so good." She put the food down on the table before placing her hand on my cheek.

"Demi, you're burning up!"

"I'm fine. It's a busy day. I'm gonna eat and head to the studio." I say. "No. You're gonna eat and go back to bed." She demanded rather than insisted. "I'll be fine, babe. I promise."

"Here. Eat. I'll get you some water." She said. I ate some before she came back with the water. "Thank you." I sip on the water for a bit until I feel it all coming back up. Rushing to the nearest bathroom I crash to the floor barely making it to the toilet.

I wasn't long until I felt someone pull my hair back into a ponytail and start rubbing my back. "You know you aren't going to the studio any time for a few days, right?" She said softly. I didn't respond due to the vomit still coming up.

"That's it baby, let it out." She soothes still rubbing my back.

"I'll be right back. I'm going to get your water." She kissed my head before leaving the room.

"Are you okay?" A little voice said as I look up to confirm the face of the little girl. I can't say much but just nod with a forced smile.

"But you're sick..." she looks down. "Hey. I'll be okay. There's nothing to worry about. I'll be better in a few days and I'll take you to the movie you've been dying to see." I smile at her softly before letting my head fall back down looking at floor.

All of a sudden I feel her arms wrap around me.

"Aly... Sweetie... this bug could be conta-."

"I love you, Momma." She smiled as Y/n came back with water. "Aly baby, give her some air."

"It's fine, babe." I smile at her as she nods handing me the water. "Alright, let's get you back upstairs and in bed." She takes my arm gently helping me up, with Aly alongside me holding my hand.

We get up to the room finally and I take a seat on the bed attempting to grab my phone until Y/n grabs it for me.

"I've already called your manager and the studio. They said to get better soon and be sure to rest." She smile kissing my forehead. "Now, come on. Let get you settled back in bed."

"Thank you, baby." I say grabbing her hand. "I love you." She says as pulls my hand up to her lips and places a soft kiss. "I'm gonna go call your mom to see if she'll let Aly stay with her a couple nights until you get better." She says and kisses the top of my hand again. "I'll be right back."

My eyes flutter open once I feel a cold wet rag on my forehead. I see Y/n in the bathroom for something. Most likely medicine. She rushes back to my side.

"Here, baby. Take this." She hands me 3 pills hopefully to decrease my temperature. I take them one at a time and grab the water glass from off the night stand. Attempting to place the glass back it falls to the ground.

"Ugh. I'm sorry, I'll go ge-." I try to get up but I'm stopped by her arms placing me gently back on the bed. "Baby it's okay. Lay back down, let the medicine kick in, I'll get it." She rubs my arms soothingly understanding my frustration with myself.

"I'll be back." She pats my thigh before leaving the room.

My eye flutter open once again and I see Aly sitting on the bed by my legs dangling her feet of the edge.

"Hi, sweetheart." I smile. "Hi." She returns with a sweet smile. "How long have you been sitting there?" I ask. "I don't know. I'm not good at estimating time yet." She giggles.

"Estimating is a big word, you're a very smart kid." I say and she just cheeses a big smile.

Soon my mother walks in the room.

"Oh, my baby." She says walking over to my bedside. "Mom... Don't be over dramatic. I'll be fine. It's probably just some bug." I say.

"You mean, you haven't been to the doctor to see what is wrong?" She looks a little upset. "No. So far it's just a fever and bad migraines. I'll be fine. Y/n is taking care of me. It's fine." I start growing frustrated.

"What if it's not, Demetria. This could be serious." She starts getting louder and I put my eye back to Aly. She looks furious.

"Don't yell at her.. she is sick and needs to get better... you yelling at her like that won't help!" She tries keeping her voice down. "Alyson... that wasn't very nice." Y/n says walking in. "But she yelled at Momma for not seeing a doctor and it made her upset." The little girl leaps off the bed crossing her arms.

Y/n walks over, bends down some for her and Aly to be eye to eye. "Dianna is Demi's mother. She just trying to do what best for her daughter. Just like I do for you." She says. "So, I think you owe Dianna an apology for being rude."

Aly scruffs and walks to my mother, it takes her a few minutes to say it.

"I'm sorry, Didi." She hangs her head down and my mother being the sweetheart that she is takes Aly's hand.

"I'm sorry too, baby girl. You were right I shouldn't have raised my voice." My mother says sweetly to the little girl in front of her.

"And to you, Demi. I'm sorry." She leans down to kiss me on the forehead. "I love you."

"I love you too, mom." I smile. "We better get going before traffic starts getting bad." My mom looks to Aly and nods. "Call me if y'all need anything." She continues and they both walk out.

"Wait, I forgot something." Aly runs back in grabbing Y/n to give her a big hug. "I love you, Mommy." Y/n leans down to give her a kiss on the forehead before she walks to me. "I love you, Momma. Get better, soon." She says kissing me on the cheek. "We love you too, munchkin. Be good." I say as she jogs back to the doorway.

"She said she was taking her guitar with her. She wants to play for you when you get better." Y/n giggles. "She very talented for her age." I smile. "How are you feeling?" Y/n comes to sit next to me on the bed. "So, so. I still ache all over." I say.

"Are you feeling well enough to have a bath? It'll help with the aches and help you rest. I won't make it too hot since you're running a fever." She says grabbing my hand and rubbing her thumb along my finger.

"I actually think the fever has gone down." I smile. "Thank you." "How about cuddles?" She smiles. "Please?" I beg holding my arms up some for her to wrap hers around me.

We get settled, I'm resting my head on her chest and my free arm is wrapped around her waist. "Get some rest. I'll be here when you wake up." She says softly.

My eyes fight to stay open but before I knew it I was dreaming of the 3 of us traveling places.
