Gabe had been running around all week so he could pretend to be sick.
But, the morning he woke up. He felt terrible.
He opened his eyes and felt weak.
He tried to get out of bed but had a coughing attack.
He finally got out of bed and walked to the stairs.
Tess heard him coughing, "Allie, I'll have to call you back" she said sounding confused and hung up the video chat session and walked out into the hallway.
"Gabe. You sound like your lungs are going to fall onto the floor" Tess said to him.
hnn'ESSH'uh!"
"I'm going down to tell Dad. I'm so sick" Gabe said in a hoarse tone.
Tess felt his forehead for a fever.
"Yeah, I would. You don't sound good and I think you have a fever" Tess said to Gabe and she went back to her room.
"Thanks.." he said glaring at her and sniffling.
Gabe walked down the stairs. He started coughing again.
"Dad…" Gabe cried, looking for Jack.
Jack turned around and saw him.
"Gabe! Why aren't you ready? Are you packed?" Jack said in a panic.
"I feel really sick" Gabe told Jack and sneezed.
Jack ran over to where Gabe was standing.
"Oh no" Jack said sounding very worried.
Jack took Gabe and directed him to the couch.
"Lie down" Jack said to him.
Jack felt Gabe's head. "Yup, you have a fever alright. We'll see what Grandma thinks is best, don't worry" Jack told him in a calm tone.
Just then, Grandma came through the door.
"Whose ready?!" She shouted.
"Well, we have a dilemma" Jack replied.
She turned to Jack and saw Gabe.
"What do we have here?" Grandma asked.
