Dianne PoV
As joe puts the phone down I look to the small child clinging on to me. She looked more pale than before with a slight red shade appearing on her cheeks and neck. 
"Shall we go downstairs gorgeous"
"No I don't want to" this was a different side to India, normally so obliging and polite however today those words were not in her vocabulary
"What if I carry you?" I say trying to reason with her. She thinks for a moment before nodding her head and wrapping her arms around my neck. I stand up with her gripping on to me tightly with her head resting in the crook of my neck.
As I carefully walk down the stairs I get to the sofa in an attempt to put her down so she could sit under the blanket from yesterday whilst I make myself and her a drink. However I was clearly far to optimistic as when I tried to release her from my grip she only clung on tighter
"No dianne don't leave me pwease stay with me" she says starting to cry into my shoulder.
"I have to precious I need to make a drink ok, I'll be as quick as I can"
She shakes her head, clearly not going to win the fight I scoop her back up and put her on the kitchen counter. She attempted to grip on still but was far to weak to hold on anymore. As I leave and turn around to make my coffee and get india some juice I hear her start to cough, I thought nothing of it until I hear her crying. I look round to see that she's thrown up all over herself and on to the floor. I immediately stop what I'm doing and rush over to her. She reaches out for me but before I do anything I pull her pyjama top and bottoms of leaving her in her underwear so she's no longer covered in the mess. I pick the crying child up trying to soothe her and take her into the bathroom. I turn on the tap and with my one free arm and put some bubbles in. I sit down on the toilet seat and grab a wet wipe to clean her mouth. I readjust India's position so im cradling her like a baby,
"Shh shh poppet it's ok, your alright"
"I was sicky see"
"I know princess I'll clean it up in a minute don't worry"
"I'm sowwy"
"Don't worry these things happen"
"Are you mad?"
"Not at all"
"Will daddy be mad"
"Of course he won't baby, me and your daddy love you far to much to be mad at you ok?"
"Ok"
With that I take get her ready to put her in the bath and wash her, thanking the gods her cast is waterproof, She sits there and stares at me with her big blue eyes, that are identical to joes, she looks as though she wants to say something, but doesn't quite know how.
After she's out the bath I dry her down and get her re changed into a new set of pyjamas at her request. I pick her back up and once again she places her head into the crook of my neck. I sit her down on the sofa and put on a Disney movie for her to watch, before I start washing the floor and cabinets down and putting her dirty clothes in the wash. I make each of us a drink before rejoining her on the sofa. She snuggles into my side and continues watching the movie, I stroke her head and notice she's falling asleep. Not wanting to wake her I resist moving her only to find myself falling asleep, clearly the events of the past few weeks have caught up with me.

I woke up to the sound of keys in to door followed by it being opened. I see joe come in with his smart suit on making him even more attractive than I thought possible. I put my fingers to my lips signalling that India was asleep and to be quiet.
"Hey how was it" I ask in a hushed tone
"They said they'll phone me later either way"
"That's amazing, how'd you think it went?"
"Good as it could really, hows Madame?"
"Been eventful to say the least, we had a lot of tears, a lot of hugs and quite a bit of puke" I say chuckling slightly
"Oh my god I'm so sorry you had to sort all that out, she's rarely sick trust it to be the day I'm gone!!"
"Hey it's fine I washed her cleaned the clothes and the floor, everything's good now"
"Thank you" he says kissing the tip of my nose
"Daddy?"
"Hi poppet you feeling better"
"Yeah, daddy I was sicky everywhere" she explains putting emphasis on the word everywhere, which to be honest was pretty accurate to say the least.
"I know my angel but it's all ok now we are both here"

For the rest of the evening we were all sat just watching movies until it was time for India to go to bed. Since we didn't want a repeat of last night joe allowed her to sleep with us,, after checking if that was ok with me about 400times!!
Joe went to get india changed and ready for bed, whilst I did the same. the doors to both rooms were open and as India's room is opposite to joes I mistakenly heard a small, quiet voice say
"Why don't I have a mummy?"...
