Chapter 4
She was startled awake in the middle of the night when she heard something in the bathroom. She turned and found Ryan not beside her in bed so she assumed he was in there and went back to sleep. When he came out he was pale and shivering despite the fact that it was summer outside, with beads of sweat laid out on his forehead.
"Are you okay?" she asked, voice still thick with sleep, as he crawled in beside laying in a fetal position still shivering. "Yeah, I'm fine. Go back to sleep" he replied, as cough after cough got hold of him. "To hell with sleep Booth, look at you" she said as she reached across the bed and felt his forehead. "You're burning up, we need to get you to the ER.'' She stated as she was out of bed pulling on a pair of sweatpants. "Alex no'' he stated "I'll be fine in the morning I'm not sick I just have a stomach bug or something it will be gone in the morning."
"Yeah right, you're not sick and I'm not Indian" she mumbled more to herself and didn't think he would hear it. "You're a sexy Indian, though" he smirked when another bunch of coughs started again. "I make you a deal, if I'm not better in the morning you have every right to take me to hospital and I'll stay there for a s long as I have to. Deal?" Alex bit her bottom lip while pondering upon this deal. "Ok. But if you feel worse you wake me up, I'll call in sick." She wasn't even sure if he heard the last words she said because she heard him snore a while later still curled into a little ball next to her.
She took out more blankets and covered him with it and went to sleep herself, hoping that when morning comes this bug, or whatever it is Ryan's having will be gone.
