A/N: Hey all! Here is a new story that I've had floating in my head. It's partially based on Taylor Swift's Ronan. Just want to see what ya'll think. Please R&R!

"Liam! Come on, honey! Time for dinner!" Rachel called from downstairs in the kitchen. Her call was met with silence.

Liam had stayed home from pre-school today. He was sick. She was hoping some food might help him feel better. She figured he might be asleep so she made sure Audrey was securely snapped into her high chair and made her way up to his room.

His door was open so she went in. He was lying on the bed under the covers. As she approached him, she could see a thin layer of sweat covering his forehead. She rested the back of her hand on his forehead and then his cheek. He wasn't just warm. He was burning up. She was a bit worried. He was only complaining of a tummy ache before.

Rachel decided to gently shake him to wake him up. He moaned and rolled onto his side.

"Come on baby, wakey, wakey." She said smiling at the 4 year old.

Liam slowly opened his dark brown eyes. "No." He whispered.

"Oh come on. I made your favorite for dinner; mac-n-cheese. Audrey has already started on her share." She said rubbing small circles on his back.

"Fine." He said not bothering to move. She waited and he didn't do anything.

"Liam? Coming?" She asked.

"I don't want to move." He said. She giggled and grabbed on to his arms and pulled so that he sat up. "Mommy, carry me."

"Oh, no. Not down those stairs." She said trying to pull him to his feet.

He eventually got to his feet. She held onto his hand as they walked down to the kitchen. Liam immediately sat in a chair and waited for his food. Rachel grabbed a bowl and scooped him some mac-n-cheese out of the big pot. She sat the bowl in front of him expecting him to devour it. He just sat there looking at it.

"Baby, how are you feeling?" She asked with concern.

"Bad." He said. He looked weak. He definitely wasn't being himself.

"How about tomorrow, I take you to the doctor?" She suggested.

"Kay." Was all he said. He normally hated the doctor. He must really feel bad.

"But until then, I need you to eat. Even if it's just a little. You need to eat. I'll get you a glass of water." She said turning to retrieve a glass.

Rachel eventually got him to eat about 5 spoonfuls of mac-n-cheese. She got him back upstairs and put him back to bed. She'd get him to take a bath in the morning. She spent the rest of the night caring for Audrey. She made sure she sanitized the surfaces that Liam had touched. She wanted to make sure her two-year-old didn't catch anything.

Once Audrey was bathed and rocked to sleep, Rachel called Kurt.

"Hello, Rachel."

"Hey, Kurt."

"What's up, princess?"

"Well, I need a favor."

"What kind of favor?"

"The kind where you get to spend a whole day with your favorite niece."

"Well, now that sounds fun. And when should I expect mini princess?"

"Tomorrow…" Rachel said hoping he wouldn't mind how late the favor was asked.

Kurt sighed. "I guess I can move some things around. What time?"

"How about 9 tomorrow morning?"

"Sounds good. Might I ask why?"

"Liam isn't feeling to good. I need to take him to the doctor."

"Okay. Any idea what he has?"

"I don't know. He's just really tired and he has a fever. I just want him to feel better."

"Yeah. Well, listen, I gotta go. I'll see ya tomorrow at 9."

"Thanks Kurt."

"Anything for you, Broadway Babe."

She hung up and prepared for bed. Once she settled into her bed she glanced at the photo on her bedside and said a silent prayer. She turned off the light and fell asleep dreaming of the man of her dreams.

What's going to happen to Liam? What about Rachel's man? Stay tuned to find out.
