Later that evening, Brian entered the apartment and found Olivia dozing on the sofa, Noah in her arms; he carefully draped the blanket over them before setting to work on dinner.
"Bri..." he heard Olivia whispered as she entered the room with Noah on her hip.
"Liv, you feeling okay?" He asked, taking Noah and feeling her forehead.
"I'll be fine"
"Go and get some sleep and take some Tenylol" he insisted upon feeling her fever.
"But..." she started before feeling her stomach roll.
After throwing up, she laid in the bed with a cool cloth on her forehead; Brian sat next to her and took her hand.
"Try and get some sleep; I'll feed Noah and settle him then come back in"
She sighed and gave a weak smile; when he came back in two hours later, she was still sleeping but moaning softly. He hated seeing her suffering and wished he could help her somehow; stroking her hair back, she groaned and opened her eyes.
"Hey, still feeling rough?" He asked softly.
"Mmm"
"You've got a bug; do you feel nauseous?"
"Not really"
"Headache?"
"Yeah"
"I'm not going anywhere" he said, wrapping his arm around her and holding her close.
By the time Noah had woken at 2 the next morning, Olivia's headache has eased slightly; she sat in the rocking chair and held his close and she soothed his cries.
"It's okay Noah, mommy has you"
By the next time she awoke at just after 8am, her headache had all but gone and she was feeling better; she turned her head and saw Brian looking at her.
"Hey, I phoned work for you; said Noah wasnt well and you weren't feeling too good either" he explained.
"Thank you"
"You hungry?"
"A little"
"I'll do some breakfast and we can have a lazy day with our son"
"Sounds perfect"
He kissed her before leaving the room, allowing her to stay in bed a little while longer until Noah awoke.
