"Shawn come on you overslepted by a lot come on hurry up I have to work out of the area today"
"Dad I don't wanna go to school I'm too tired"
Shawn's moan of a reply shocked me a big, "what no excuses today?"
"Too *cough* tired"
"Hey Shawnie you feeling sick or nauseous?" I asked genuinely concerned in Shawn's health usually he's up before me working on his excuses.
"Dad I'm just tired I don't feel sick" Shawn said sitting up
"Well in that case get you but around" I commanded I little quieter than usual. The entire time keeping my eyes on him. Sure he seemed a little slower than usual but he said he was tired. And it's not like I can check him for fever usually he overheats himself in his sleep with the blanket.
~~~Time Skip~~~
I just got a call from the school about Shawn I need to go pick him up. He's just lucky I had to stay for the two hour debriefing before I had to head out for the case its a three to five hour car ride depending on traffic and all I have to do is check up on making sure a couple of no trespassing chains or okay and then interview a person from their home.
I check my watch, shawns going to have to come with me this time around.
I arrive at the school and pick Shawn up, I'm not exactly sure why I need to since they called my office and the intern picked it up .
On the road I decide I mine as well here what Shawn did this time. "So Shawn why did I have to go pick you up?"
"I don't know"
"What do you mean you don't know"
"I was in class listening to the teacher since Gus wouldn't look at me when I made faces at him. Next thing I know teacher is shaking me awake and told me to go to the nurse. I feel asleep in her office and next thing I know your picking me up from school."
I stare at him trying to figure out if he's lying. I notice he just about falling asleep so I decide he's not.
We've been on the road for about an hour and a half now , half an hour in Shawn fell asleep. I hear movement next to me and I just figure shawns waking up he'll probably be asking for a bathroom break since he hasn't gone since this morning so when i hear him speak urgently I don't think anything of it.
"Daddy pull over"
I pull over not noticing the -dy added to dad. I hear the door open but then I hear a thump and puking. I get out and rush over to Shawn rubbing circles on his back while whispering hushed nothing's. When he was done I tried to call down the crying kid.
Setting him in the truck seat sideways I grapped the babywhips I use for after fishing and clean up Shawn. I check her forehead and am alarmed at the fever. "Shawn" I spoke softly "Why didn't you say you didn't feel good?"
"Tired daddy, okay feeling"
Catching the almost baby like Talk I spoke again. "Well what's wrong now?"
"Head owy, sleepy, tummy icky?"
"Are hot or cold" as if in response Shawn shivered and started whimpering.
"Daddy I's *coughing fit, tears* cold"
I knew I should call work. Grabbing my spare sweater from the back (also for fishing) I wrap Shawn in it as he fall asleep. I call the chief and explain the situation, lucky there is an understanding and I get the next couple of days off.
I pull over at a rest stop and tell Shawn I will be right back, as I start walking in I here the door open. Turn around to see Shawn trying to climb out wrapped in the sweater thumb in mouth, he succeeds and runs to me hugging my legs "Shawn you should be in the truck" I said in surprise and Shawn just breaks into tears
"But daddy *sniff* i's was *sniff sniff cough sneeze cough*"
"Woah Shawn calm down it's okay you can come in with me" I say as I take him in I grab the stuff I need for him along with some ice for his fever.
Just we get into to the parking lot Shawn starts gagging.
