Nursing

Hello guys!
I just read that tpn manga will be back with a new last chapter at the end of the year 😀
As I was reading the article I was like:
"YEEEESSSS, THE YEAR IS ENDING WITH SOMETHING GOOD AT LEAST!"
I was so happy I teared up a bit.
So I told myself rather than sitting on the couch doing nothing, why not another chapter!
Tell me your thoughts in the comments, and share me your thoughts on the good news that are going out lately of this awesome show. Also comment some topics you like me to write about.
Enjoy ❤️
                                                                      

-so... How are you feeling? - Ray spoke after handing Emma a glass of water.

- I'm feeling better... - she nodded, taking the glass so she could drink to kill the thirst in her throat.

Literally after staying in the bed for half a day , Emma's fever got the worst of her that day. It was summer, she was hunting with Don and Nat. They told her to stay in the shade so she won't suffer from a heatstroke or whatever, but still she insisted on looking for some birds.

Emma knew that Nat didn't like bugs and lizards, not just him. Many of her other siblings don't like them, so she was doing her best for them to have a good lunch.

-alright, I think that's enough- Don showed Emma so she can put her bow and arrow down.

-then, let's go back- she smiled at the pair and started heading back to the shelter. Unlikely, catching birds was hard that day. The sun was burning the wind, the dust was getting mixed with the air, it was a pretty hot day in the middle of the summer.

After getting back to the shelter, Emma had to do laundry with Nat and the younger kids. Ray, Anna, and Jemima were preparing lunch while Don and Gilda and some of the other kids were getting the tables ready.

The water got splashy when doing laundry, the younger kids wanted to play with the cold water so they can forget how hot it was.

-it is a hot day after all... - Nat said looking at Emma as he brought more dirty clothes. She was washing the dirt with sweat dripping from her face.

-yeah... But still, they may catch a cold after playing for too long-  she whispered to him, cleaning her forehead from her sweat.

-Enough playing, Thoma, Lanni. We need to finish before lunch is read_ nhaa!-  Emma got drenched after Thoma and Lanni splashed the water on her.

Rossie and Alicia got drenched too, but unlike Emma only their faces got wet. - okay, little kids. You're gonna wash these alone while I dry Rossie and Alicia... Nat come with me. - she demanded as the two started panicking and begging for forgiveness.

-HURRY OR YOU'LL MISS LUNCH- Emma said  with a low voice, giving them a scary look. Thoma and Lanni could do anything but give up and do what they were told so they won't miss lunch.

-I'll go help preparing food with Ray- Nat said as he handed a towel to Emma so she can finally dry Rossie and Alicia off.

-okay- she replied and started drying her younger siblings. She forgot how wet she was even though the water got her from head to toes. Even though she was cold she dried up her siblings added the towel to the laundry.

Then she changed her clothes and added them too. Feeling all dizzy didn't stop her from helping the others preparing the tables.

And after lunch Emma and Ray had to go search for more clues in the books of the reference room. The pair took some books and started searching.

- okay, give me the other book- Ray told Emma as he finished reading the book in his hands.

-are you okay? - he said as he heard her panting, her breathing was heavy, and her walking wasn't that steady. She didn't respond.

He stood up from his chair to take a clear  look at her as she collapsed and Ray caught her between his arms.- Emma!! H-hey! -.

He sat down with her on the ground, he touched her forehead and as he felt it was burning, his heart trembled. "she has an awful fever!".

He noticed that her breathing got even heavier, coughing and squeezing the hand that she put on her chest, he realized that the pain was coming from her chest. Her face was very pale and twisted as she was almost squealing.

His eyes got wide as she wasn't responding to his calls. Ray got really worried, he sensed Emma wasn't that lively at lunch, he wanted to talk but his work needed him.

"her face is turning red! Is she unable to breathe? what should I do?

I better take her to the infirmary"

Clearing his thoughts he fastly picked her up and ran to the infirmary.

Laying her on the bed, he called Anna who was in there. She started examining Emma fastly.

Ray wanted to bring Zack and the Elder ones to have a better look at her condition, she was gripping his hand really tight.

- I've got this! Don't worry. - Anna said taking some medicine in her hands. Ray understood that Emma's condition wasn't as bad as he was imagining so he stood silent holding Emma's hand and patting her back gently after laying her on her side so her breathing can get easier.

After a while, Anna realized Emma's condition - it's nothing out of control, just a fever... What made her collapse is her high temperature actually. Her breathing was heavy because of the humidity of the air which caused her pain in the chest. If she rests and takes medicine she'll be fine. - she reassured Ray and he sighed in relief.

-I'll nurse her, can you make dinner tonight? - he asked Anna while looking at Emma's hand gripping his.

-why don't I nurse her? - she said in confusion. In terms of health care knowledge, Anna should be nursing Emma with no issues.

-I guess the one nursing her won't sleep tonight, we need to cool her head so her temperature will go down, let me do this. - Ray stated and Anna knew what he meant, he did not want her to keep an eye on Emma and go sleep deprived the other day.

After all, Ray used to be fine with getting less sleep, he always kept watch at night when the group is out.

-okay, if anything happens tell me then... I'll tell everyone so they won't miss you two on the table. Of course I won't let them in... Make sure to give her her medicine - Anna demanded giving it to Ray and preparing to leave.

- don't worry, she'll be in good hands-

Hours later, the elder ones checked up on Emma, she was resting now her breathing got easier and her temperature was getting down.

Ray took a look at her sleeping face, now that her breathing is fine, he relaxed a bit and smiled. He sang the lullaby he always adored while gently nuzzling her orange hair and as the lullaby ended, he caught her smiling in her sleep.

While replacing the wet towel on her forehead, he leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"you'll be okay, sleepy head"
