"Al are you okay?" Piper asked softly, so she didn't scare her girlfriend. As soon as Alex looked at her Piper could see what was wrong. Alex was pale her eyes glazed over she had a blanket wrapped around her and was visibly shaking. "I'm not feeling so hot Pipes." Piper reached out placing her hand on Alex's forehead. "Babe you're burning up."
She went to the bathroom grabbed a washcloth running it under cold water she returned to Alex and sat down behind her putting her legs on either side of her girlfriend letting Alex lean back against her. Piper placed the washcloth on Alex's forehead, and she could feel the heat radiating off the brunette's body. Alex sighed closing her eyes enjoying the cooling sensation on her warm skin. Piper knowing this would not drastically bring her girlfriends fever down was trying to think of something else.
"Have you taken anything?" "No, not yet." "I'm gonna go get you some Tylenol," Piper said handing Alex the washcloth.
Alex took the pills from Piper and sipped some water she leaned back against the arm of the couch closing her eyes. Piper felt bad for Alex she usually never gets sick. When Alex does get sick, she turns into the biggest baby it always makes Piper laugh. Her girlfriend who Is always in control 'Miss calm cool and collected' is whining and pouting because she doesn't feel good. A small part of Piper likes being able to take care of Alex she doesn't like or want Alex to get sick, but Alex is always taking care of her it nice to return the favor.
Piper had sat behind the brunette again and held the washcloth on Alex's forehead wrapping her free arm around Alex hoping it would help break her fever they sat there for a while Piper listening to Alex's labored breathing. Piper felt the brunette had stopped shaking and figured the Tylenol had finally started working. Piper knew that Alex's fever had to break; otherwise, it would get to high she decided to run her girlfriend a cooling bath to try and get her temperature down. Piper got up and went into the bathroom and turned the water on testing the temp not wanting to make it to cold.
She went and got Alex helping her up off the couch unwrapping her out of the blanket. They walked to the bathroom, and Piper helped Alex out of her pajamas and then started removing her own. Alex raised an eyebrow at Piper's actions.
"Just because you are sick doesn't mean I'm gonna let you sit in a bath alone," Piper said as she climbed in the tub leaning back against the side. Alex followed and sat down between her girlfriend's legs and leaned back against Piper's chest. Piper wrapped her arms around Alex's folded arms and gave her a kiss on her shoulder and then another right behind her ear. Alex slides down a little bit and lets her head fall back on Piper's shoulder closing her eyes. Piper leaned her cheek on the top of her girlfriends head, and the two sat there for a while motionless Alex was enjoying the cool water, and Piper was enjoying holding Alex. The water started to get too cold for either to sit there.
"Come on babe let's get you to bed," Piper said in a whisper. Alex sat up slightly letting Piper get out of the tub first, and she wrapped a towel around herself and then turned to help her girlfriend out of the tub and dried her off. The two walked to the bedroom, and Piper found a pair of sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt for Alex.
Alex pulled the clothes on enjoying the softness and warmth and then climbed into bed waiting for Piper to follow. Piper got into bed sitting up slightly so Alex could lay her head on her chest. Alex could near Piper's heartbeat lulling her to sleep Piper rested her lips on Alex's forehead and was relieved to feel that the fever had gone down. She kissed Alex's forehead and let her hand rest on the brunette's arm stroking it softly and hey soon fell asleep.
