Chapter 1
It was Friday morning and Clay was packing his suitcase. Quinn came into the room and kissed her husband on the neck.
"Stop," Clay said that tickles.
"I'm going to miss you when you're gone all weekend, " Quinn said.
"I'll miss you too," Clay said.
"It seems like you just came back and now you have to leave again," Quinn said.
"Well this time it's not for work," Clay said.
"Yep," Quinn said. "You're spending the whole weekend at Duke visiting Logan."
"I wish you could come," Clay said.
"Me too," Quinn said. "But with Zoe running a fever, I don't want her to get the campus sick."
"You're right," Clay said.
Clay zipped his suitcase and gave Quinn a kiss.
"Well," Clay said. "I'm off to Duke."
"Give Logan a hug and kiss for me," Quinn said. "And tell him Mommy loves him."
"I will," Clay said.
"Bye sweetie," Quinn said.
"Bye," Clay said.
After Clay left, Quinn went into Zoe's room where Zoe was crying.
"Mommy," Zoe cried.
"Oh baby," Quinn said softly. "I know you don't feel good."
"It's so hot in here and I feel sore," Zoe cried.
Quinn felt Zoe's head.
"Oh wow," Quinn said. "You're really burning up now. I'm going to call your doctor."
"Okay," Zoe cried.
Quinn suddenly felt a sick at her stomach.
"Oh no!" Quinn said before throwing up in Zoe's trashcan.
"Mommy?" Zoe asked.
"Mommy's sick too," Quinn said. "I'll go call the family doctor."
"Okay," Zoe said.
The family doctor was busy, but Quinn was able to go to an AM/PM clinic. Inside the examination room, the doctor examined Zoe.
"She has strep throat," the doctor said. "She'll need to be on antibiotics for the next few days."
"Okay," Quinn said. "But what do I have?"
"Let's see," the doctor said. "You have no fever, your throat isn't really red. I don't think you have strep throat."
"But I've been feeling very nauseous lately," Quinn said. "And I'm so tired all the time."
"Well it's definitely not strep throat," the doctor said.
