Heh

Hiccup's p.o.v

My eyes flutter open in the dark bedroom. I haven't a clue what time it is. I'm aware of the lack of heat next to me, where I had gotten used to south sleeping. For some reason, I have a massive feeling that something is wrong. It's probably just the loneliness, but I have an overwhelming feeling that I absolutely NEED to check on bailey. My chest constricts in fear, and I slide out of bed, slipping on some sweatpants over my boxers and quietly making my way to baileys room. I open the door. Bailey is sat up, clutching her stomach with one had, the other gripping the mattress. She doubles over and throws up over herself, and i surge forward
"Hey, Hey Sweetheart, calm down" I hold her shoulders to keep her upright
"D-dad" She rasps, before throwing up again
"Oh, baby. Come on" I help her to stand up and guide her into the bathroom, switching the light on. I help her strip her shirt and shorts, leaving her in just her undergarments. I hold her hair back as she keeps throwing up into the toilet until she's just dry heaving.
"It's okay, baby. It's okay" I whisper to her, rubbing her back as she coughs and gags. Gods, I hate it when she gets sick. It always makes me feel so powerless. With every heave of her body comes a new wave of helplessness, knowing all I can do is soothe her. I grab a hair tie off the shelf and tie her hair back in a scraggly bun, and grab a flannel.
"Here baby, come on" I help her up and bring her into my bedroom. She tries to get the thick duvet, but I stop her
"No sweetheart, you're too warm" I say
"B-But I'm s-So..." she shivers
"I know. I know. I'll get you a thinner blanket" I walk to my cupboard and pull out a thing blanket, draping it over her. She cuddles into it, tears leaking from her eyes. I lay next to her and gently bring her against my chest. She presses into me, shaking and crying
"It's okay baby. Try to get some sleep" I whisper, holding her close
"D-Daddy" she whimpers. again, my heart constricts. She only calls me that if she's really scared on in a lot of pain, and since it must be the latter option, my heart breaks for her all over again
"I know..." I kiss the top of her head and grab the flannel again, wiping it over her forehead and shoulders
"Go to sleep baby. I'll be here when you wake up" her eyes close and soon her shaking stops. I don't stop wiping her forehead and shoulders. After a couple hours of this, the sun comes up. At around 8am, she wakes up. She doesn't look any better than she did yesterday
"W-were you d-doing that all n-night?"
"Yeah. Don't worry about me, sweetheart. How are you feeling?"
"No better... my tummy really hurts, and so does my head and throat" I sigh and cradle her in my arms
"I know, sweetheart."
"Wheres ana? And south?"
"They went to souths parents yesterday. A family emergency, I think. They're supposed o come back today. Stay here, sweetheart. I'll get you some crackers and water" she bonds and buried herself into the blanket. I leave the room and head downstairs, pulling the crackers out of the cupboard. I put some ice in a glass and fill it with water, before dumping the rest of the ice in the bowl in the sink, and filling it with water before dumping a few tea towels in it. I put the water and crackers on a tray, before bringing it up. She's dozing off, so I place it on the table next to her and go downstairs for the bucket. I also bring a pan up. I take one of the towels from the bowl and move the blanket, draping it over her.
"N-no... too cold..."
"I know, baby. I've gotta get your temperature down. You can have the thick blanket now, though" I grab it from off the floor and tuck her in.
"When you're ready, the crackers are there" I gesture
"I just wanna... stay with... you right now" she manages in her tired state. I know she's quite out of it, but the fact that all she wants right now is me still makes me smile.
"I'm not going anywhere princess. I just need to call south. I'll back in a moment"
"No... don't go" her voice cracks, and she winces
"Okay, I'll stay here." I sit down on the bed, and she rolls over, placing her head in my lap. I slide down a little so she'll be more comfortable, before grabbing my phone off the desk. I cal south
"Hey babe. You okay?" She asks once she picks up
"Is it alright if you stay with your parents for a few more days?"
"Why? Is everything okay?"
"I'm afraid not. Bailey is really sick, and I don't want you or ana catching anything"
"How sick?"
"The sick as in if she doesn't eat any better in a  few hours, I think I will have to call an ambulance"
"Oh god. Uh, yeah, we can stay for a few more days. Where is she now?"
"She's asleep in my bed. She doesn't want me to leave the room."
"Daddy's girl. Call me if anything changes, okay?"
"I will. In any case, How are you?"
"Better than Bailey. Morning sickness is a bitch, but I'm okay. Anas still asleep"
"I'm sorry. I remember astrids morning sickness was the worst."
"I'm fine, worry about Bailey for now. Call the doctor, he'll be able to tell you if you should take her to hospital"
"Will do. I love you"
"I love you too"
I hang up the phone and then call our local doctor.
"Hello?"
""Hi, it's hiccup haddock. I need an emergency home appointment"
"For who and why?"
"It's my daughter, Bailey haddock. She's really sick. She was fine yesterday"
"Okay, is there anyone in the house that could catch whatever she has?"
"No, my fiancé and step daughter are out of the house"
"Okay. The only appointment I have open is in half an hour. Is that okay?"
"Perfect. Sorry for such short notice
"It's fine." The call ends. I dress Bailey in one of my shirts and put one on myself. Soon, there is a knock at the door. I open it, and it's the doctor
"Hi. Where is she?"
"She's sleeping right now, should I wake her up?"
"If that's okay" I take him upstairs to my bedroom
"Bailey, honey, wake up" I kneel
Next to her and tap her cheek
"Mm..."
"The doctor is here." I help her sit up.
"Hello Bailey. How do you feel?"
"Like toothless ate me up and spat me out" She rasps. I chuckle, and so does the doctor. Said cat meows indignantly from across the room.
"Okay, I'm just gonna do some tests, okay?" He does some different things, like taking her temperature, listening to her heart and lungs and some other stuff.
"It seems like viral gastroenteritis"
"Um... what is that?"
"Ah, Yeah, sorry. It's the stomach flu. I'm afraid there isn't a definitive medicine I can give her. It just has to run its course" he explains
"Oh... is there anything I can give her at all?"
"How old is she?"
"14, almost 15"
"Then She should be able to take some ibuprofen, paracetamol and if it's really bad, some cocodamol, though I don't recommend it. Just keep on trying to bring her fever down. I will prescribe some strong painkillers and some sedatives to help her sleep. Is that okay?"
"Perfect. Thanks doc"
"That's quite alright" he writes out the prescription and gives it to me, then leaves. I call south
"How is she?"
"Stomach flu, not much we can do apart from keep her fever down and keep her asleep as much as we can. She's contagious, but it isn't very contagious. I'm probably gonna get it, and then we'll be stuck because you couldn't take care of me because of the pregnancy" I chuckle
"Just at least try not to get it?"
"You say that like I actually WANT to get the stomach flu" she laughs
"Yeah, Yeah. Are me and ana in the clear to come home?"
"Yeah, it should be fine, though I'd feel better if you slept in the spare room, because I don't want you to catch it"
"You're so protective" she teases
"Maybe. I'll see you soon"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
