Steve awoke to something pulling on his sheets. Instantly the soldier sat up in bed. Steve looked down to see a four-year-old peter standing there. The blond lifted the child into his arms.
"Hey buddy what's wrong?" he asked.
"I don't feel good." peter replied.
"Where does it hurt."
"My tummy." Peter said nuzzling into Steve's chest. Steve felt peter's head. He definitely felt hot.
Steve could feel movement from the other side of the bed.
"What's goin on." tony said hazed.
"Pete isn't feeling to well, his tummy is hurting and he does feel a little hot. Steve answered. Tony sat up rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Can you hold peter while i get the thermometer?" the blond asked
"Yeah. come'er peter." tony grabbed Peter and sat him in his lap, rubbing soothing circles in Peter's back
Steve rushed to get the thermometer and returned shortly.
"Okay Pete, open your mouth." Steve placed in his mouth and waited. a minute passed and he heard the beep.
"102.4" Steve read " I think we should take him to the hospital. He said Tony thought about for a moment and decided that they should just encase his fever rose.
Steve got Peter buckled up and started the car. Thankfully Tony had been sitting in the back and had a bag handy because Peter ended up using it. The hospital was about 10 minutes away.
Tony signed them in and Steve held Peter. Rocking him back and forth. 5 minutes later they took them back. The doctor walked in and examined Peter. After he was done The doctor said Peter had a severe case of the flu he then continued to explain what Peter could and couldn't have. He said that they should try Gerber instead of soup because his tiny body was still used to that and Peter hadn't really been introduced to soup so they didn't want to startle his stomach. Also he could only have water or Gatorade and NO DAIRY at all. HE looked over to see Peter sucking on his thumb immediately he said for them to not let Peter suck on his fingers because they have a bunch of germs "you should get him a passe instead." he said "I also recommend Children's Motrin for the flu." Steve thanked the doctor and signed out. Tony buckled Peter in and they stopped by the store to get everything and headed home.
When they got home Tony got the crib out because Peter was still small enough to fit in it and put it together in their room. Steve grabbed Peter's bear, blanket, and his sippy cup. he put all the stuff in the crib. Peter was having trouble falling asleep and started to cry because he stomach was really hurting Just then Tony remembered the medicine they got and handed Peter to Steve. He came back with a cup full of Motrin and gave it to peter. He reluctantly drank it and 20 minutes later peter had fallen asleep. Steve put peter in his crib and left the bars down encase Peter had to get up again to throw up. Finally about 4 The parents where exhausted and were so thankful that they had the day off but unfortunately it was only Monday. They still had the rest of the week to deal with
