Just Like Mum

Hope y'all had a good Mothers Day, despite the coronavirus. Enjoy x

Kirsty's POV:

"He's feeling pretty under the weather and he's got a fever, I don't think he'll be able to make the trip tomorrow." I told Jack's Mum over the phone. Jack was meant to be going back to Ireland for a week to visit his family, his flight was tomorrow morning, but in the last few hours he's gotten really sick with flu-like symptoms. I could tell he felt really bad and that he really wanted to go on this trip but he knew and I knew he wasn't well enough.

"Oh no, that's a shame but I want him getting better. Maybe I'll fly over next week and visit instead." His Mum suggested.

"That would be nice, don't you worry though. I'll take care of him." I said, I was no stranger to a sick Jack.

"I know you will, Sweetie. I have to go now, hope Jack feels better really soon." Jack's Mum said signing off.

"Bye." I replied before hanging up. I turned round and saw the little munchkin curled up in a little ball under the covers, snoring quite congestedly as he slept. I crawled over near him with the vicks vapo rub and gently rolled him over onto his back, I pulled down the collar of his hoodie so I could see his chest before I put the gel on my fingers and rubbed small circles on it. Jack stirred in his sleep.

"Sh-sh-sh, it's okay Jackie. I'm just rubbing vapo rub on your chest to help you breathe easier, try to relax." I whispered softly to try and soothe him back to sleep, instead he opened his eyes wider and tried to sit up.

"Baby, you need to lie down." I said trying to carefully prop him against the pillows.

"Bud *cough cough* I-I need do sdard packing." Jack said, he was all stuffed up he couldn't pronounce his worlds properly.

"Aww Jack, you're too sick to go to Ireland. You need to stay home and rest." I said empathetically, I knew how much he was looking forward to going to see his family and to be with his Mum on Mother's Day, but the last thing that she would want is for Jack to push himself and get worse. I noticed his eyes welling up with tears.

"Hey, hey, it's okay Baby. I knew you're upset, your Mum thinks it's best you stay home and she is coming over to visit once you're better. You'll see her very soon." I told him, wiping a tear away from his cheek.

"I miss *cough cough cough* her s-so much." He stuttered, his lip quivering.

"She misses you too, Jackie, I know she does more than anything." I said softly as I laid him down, I snuggled up next to him and ran my hand through his soft brown hair. I lightly kissed his neck before he yawned.

"I think somebody's sleepy." I cooed, I pulled the blanket over us both and turned the lamp off as I let Jack drift off.

"Sleep tight, Munchkin. Hope you feel a little better in the morning." I whispered as I wrapped my arm around him, making him feel safe.

Jack's POV:

I woke up because the light from the curtains was in my eyes, making my head hurt even more. I rolled over onto my side where I could feel Kirsty was sleeping. I snuggled up next to her and nuzzled my face into her neck for comfort, that's all I wanted right now. It wasn't the same as a Mother's touch but it was nice, if only I could have been well enough to go home and see my Mum again. It had been so long, I missed her so much. I could feel my eyes well up with tears, making them feel sore and irritated as I sobbed.

"Aww Jackie, what's wrong." I heard Kirsty say softly as she wrapped her arms around my trembling body.

"M-Mum." I cried, all before I got a strong urge to cough. I put my face in the crook of my elbow away from Kirsty as I did so, I felt her hand gently rub my back.

"Take it easy, Baby. Try and calm down." Kirsty said, as my coughing fit subsided I felt phlegm at the back of my throat that I needed to cough up. I reached over to my bedside table and grabbed a tissue which I put to my mouth and spat it, I immediately threw it away.

"There you go, Baby. You alright now?" Kirsty asked me, coughing wise I was fine but I still felt horrible. I shook my head and whimpered, Kirsty laid me back down on the bed so I felt more comfortable.

"Aww Munchkin, I'm so sorry. You're still missing your Mum, aren't you?" She said softly as she rubbed my chest. I nodded and pushed my lips out into a sad pout.

"I'm sure we can get her on video chat or something later, would you like that?" Kirsty offered.

"Thad would *cough* be gread." I said, as long as I get to talk to her. But we would have to wait until later as she would be at work.

"Okay, I'll snuggle you until then. Come 'ere, Bubs." Kirsty said opening her arms out for me, I crawled into them as she cradled me. The size difference made it look a bit awkward but I didn't mind.

"Is that nice?" She asked me, this couldn't have been a nicer feeling. It was a feeling all too similar.

"Jusd like Mum." I replied, I still remember when my Mum used to hold me and snuggle me when I was sick or when I was sad. That was a long time ago but I remember it like it was yesterday.

"Aww, I am glad." Kirsty said before kissing me on the forehead as she started to rock me slightly.

We video called my Mum later that day, it was nice to talk to her again and see her. And I was very much looking forward to seeing her during her visit, it actually made me feel a little better.
