Gemma's POV: " I called my boss at my place of employment to let her know that my little brother is sick and that I wasn't coming into work so I can take care of him, and she is being a pain in the bloody Arse. "

Lisa: " Seriously Gemma. " She says getting agitated.

Gemma: " What is the problem? " She says trying to not sound frustrated on the phone.

Lisa: " We have a huge project that we are working on, and everyone has to be at the office. " She says sounding agitated on the phone.

Gemma: " I am aware of that, but my little brother needs me more than anything right now. " She says on the phone, hearing feet running to the bathroom and the door closing upstairs.

Lisa: " Okay, fine. You can take the day off, but you need to be working on the project at home, while you are taking care of your brother, No exceptions. " She says to Gemma on the phone.

Gemma: " Thank you so much. " She says to her boss on the phone, sighing in relief.

Lisa: " You're welcome, bye. " She says before hanging up the phone.

Gemma: " Bye. " She says back to her boss before hanging up the phone.

Harry: " Gemma. " he calls from the bathroom upstairs.

Gemma: " Yes. " She calls to her brother from downstairs.

Harry: " Can you please get me another roll of toilet paper? " He calls from the bathroom.

Gemma: " Yes, are you having diarrhea again? " She calls from the living room.

Harry: " Yes. " He calls back from the bathroom feeling extremely embarrassed.

Gemma: " I'm coming. " She says grabbing another roll of toilet paper from the closet in the hall and walking upstairs and into the bathroom to give her brother the toilet paper.

Harry: " Thanks. " He says to his sister groaning again.

Gemma: " You're welcome, I'm going to see if there is any medicine to help calm your stomach down and to help with the diarrhea. " She says briefly rubbing his back and then going into a cabinet looking for something to help calm her brothers stomach and to help with the diarrhea.

Harry: " Okay. " He says looking at his big sister tearfully.

Gemma's POV: " Harry is sick and he feels miserable. He has been throwing up and having diarrhea constantly. I told him that I would see if there was anything in the Medicine cabinet that would help settle his stomach and help with the diarrhea. "

While Gemma is looking for some medicine to help settle her little brothers stomach and help with the diarrhea he is having, her cell rings letting her know that someone was calling her.

Gemma: " Hello. "

Anne: " Hey sweetie. " She says to her daughter on the phone.

Gemma: " Hey Mum. " She says back.

A: " Are you at work? " She asks.

G: " No, I'm at home. " She says.

A: " Do you have a day off or something? " She asks her daughter.

G: " No, I called in and told my boss that I wasn't coming in today because I have to take care of my little brother. " She says on the phone.

A: " You didn't have to do that; Robin was home, and he could have taken care of Harry until we got off work. " She says to Gemma.

G: " I know but he has so much to do for work, so I decided to call in work so I could take care of Harry." She tells her mom.

A: " Okay then. How is Harry doing right now? " she says on the phone to Gemma.

G: " Well, Harry isn't doing all that great at the moment. " She says to her mom.

A: " What's going on? " She asks her daughter on the phone feeling concerned about his well-being.

G: " Harry is having diarrhea again and I just bought another roll of toilet paper to him. " She says rummaging through the Cabinet.

A: " Has he drank his Pedialyte yet? " She asks her daughter.

G: " No but I will make sure he does as soon as he gets out of the bathroom. " She says to her mom.

A: " Good, he needs fluids. " She says on the phone.

G: " Is there any medicine that could help calm his stomach and help with the diarrhea? " She asks her mom.

A: " Yes, there should be something that will help calm Harry's stomach and help with the diarrhea. " She says to Gemma.

G: " There are these upspring stomach settle drops in the cabinet. " She says to her mum on the phone.

A: " Yes, you can give Harry that. " She says to Gemma on the phone.

G: " How many do I give him? " She asks her mum.

A: " Only give him one. " She says to Gemma on the phone.

G: " Okay. " She says to her mom on the phone.

A: " There is some soup in the cabinet as well for him if he feels up to eating. " She says on the phone.

G: " Okay. " She says to her mom on the phone.

A: " Well, sweetie my lunch break is over now. " She says to her daughter.
