It was 1.47 am , (Your Name) and Seven woke up to their son tugging on their blanket
It was Ethan.
"Ethan… What are you doing here? …"
"Dada…" He stretched his two hands, asking Seven for a hug.
"Buddy, what's wrong? …" Seven sat up, carrying his son onto his lap.
(Your Name) sat up as well.
He stuttered, he was trying his best to say the words.
"Lucien… Si…Si…"
"Lucien is what buddy?..."
"Lucien… Si…Sick…"
"Sick?"
"He crying… He say he no move…"
"I'll go check on him."
(Your Name) got out of the bed, rushing to the kid's room.
"Dada…"
"Yes Ethan? …"
"Lucien ok? …"
"I don't know… Mama is checking on him know…"
It was a while, but soon heavy footsteps could be heard approaching, (Your Name) was carrying Lucien.
"He has a high fever… He coughed out blood as well…"
She was crying, her voice weak.
Seven was blank for a moment.
He carried Ethan onto the bed.
"Buddy… Uncle Saeran is going to look after you okay?… Me and mama are going to bring Lucien to the hospital …"
He didn't understand, he just gave a confused look.
Seven got up and ran to Saeran's room.
"Babe… bring him to the car first…"
"Y-Yes…"
He knocked on the door a few times.
Saeran opened it, rubbing his eyes.
"Saeyoung Hyung… You are aware it's 1 in the morning right? …"
"Yes, I'm sorry, but it's Lucien… He's very sick, me and (Your Name) are bringing him to the hospital but we need someone to take care of Ethan…"
There was a few moments of silence.
"Don't worry, you can count on me."
Ethan ran up to his father, hugging his leg.
"Ethan, dada has to go now…"
"No!"
"Ethan please…"
"I come too dada!"
"Ethan listen…"
He bent down, ruffling Ethan's hair.
"The hospital is not somewhere for children ok? … There are many sick people there… You might get sick as well… Do you understand? …"
He crossed his arms and pouted his lips.
"Ethan… Listen to your dad… Lucien needs to get better okay? ..."
"Yeah… When Lucien gets better we'll go to the zoo as a family alright? …"
He tried to give his son a reassuring smile.
"O-Okay…"
"That's daddy's good boy…"
He ruffled his hair once again.
Ethan stretched out his hands, now asking Saeran to carry him.
When he was in Saeran's arms, he buried his face in his Uncle's neck.
"Please drive safely and update me of Lucien's condition Hyung…"
He nodded and gave a faint smile.
"Yes… I promise… Please take care of Ethan as well…"
He bade goodbye to his brother and son before leaving.
Lucien coughed out so much blood on the way to the hospital, he was crying, obviously in pain and discomfort.
(Your Name) was crying, she was trying to comfort Lucien. Seeing how distressed his wife and son were, his heart could not help but ache..
They were nearly at the hospital, but Lucien's condition just seemed to continue worsening.
"He.. He's coughing up so much blood…"
"It's okay… We are nearly there…"
When they reached, Ethan was rushed to the Emergency room.
"Doctor… What's wrong with our son? …"
"We aren't sure… We'll be examining him now…"
"Y-Yes…"
"Alright, please wait outside…"
Seven nodded.
They sat on the chairs outside of the Emergency room.
Seven was trying to comfort (Your Name), she was still crying.
"(Your Name)… It's going to be okay… Lucien is going to be fine…"
"He was fine in the afternoon… Why is he suddenly so ill? …"
"…"
He couldn't speak, he told (Your Name) not to worry, but he was just as worried and concerned…
And so they waited and waited…
It was a 3 hour wait, but the news they received made it all worth it.
The doctor came out of the room.
"Doctor… Our S-Son? …"
"Everything is okay now… the blood was from a sore throat , but he will still have to stay in the hospital because his temperature is abnormally high for a toddler."
"Yes… Thank you…"
"Don't worry Saeran, the doctor says he is fine. He has to stay in the hospital because of his high fever though…"
Seven was on the phone with Saeran, (Your Name) was sitting beside Lucien's bed.
"Ethan just won't sleep… I read him bedtime stories, gave him milk, he just won't listen hyung…"
"Ahh…"
"Let me talk to him…"
"Okay, wait…"
Seven could hear Saeran put down the phone for awhile, it wasn't as clear but he could still hear Saeran's voice.
"Ethan! Come here! Your dad wants to talk to you!"
He could here Ethan shout.
"DADA!"
"Hey buddy!"
"Dada! Lucien… Ok-okay? …"
"Yes, he's fine buddy! But he still has to stay in the hospital for awhile okay?"
"H-He not coming home? …"
"It's okay, the doctor says if he gets better he can come home soon!"
"Mama? … Papa?... No come h-home?"
"It's only for a few nights buddy, we can't leave Lucien alone can we?"
"N-no…"
"I w-want to s-see L-Lucien…"
"Well, Uncle Saeran will bring you here tomorrow okay?"
"No! I want Lucien now!"
"Buddy, hey. Lucien is sleeping now… Even if you come here, you can't play with him…"
"…"
"Why don't you go get some sleep? And then tomorrow when Lucien is awake you can come talk to him! How's that?"
"O-Okay…"
"Alright… Go get some sleep okay?"
"Y-yes…"
"Okay, bye buddy…"
"Dada… W-Wait…"
"What is it buddy?"
"D-do Lucien w-want ChuChu? …"
"His Kangaroo? ..."
"Y-yes…"
"I'm not sure… Why don't you bring it for him tomorrow?"
"Y-yes…"
"Is there anything else buddy?"
"Y-yes…"
"What is it?
"G-Goodnight dada… T-tell Mama g-goodnight t-too…"
"I will… I love you buddy… You should sleep now…"
"Y-yes… L-love y-you t-too dada…"
The next morning …
"Mama…"
(Your Name) awoke from the gentle tapping on her knee.
It was Ethan.
"Ethan! …"
"Mama!"
He tried to climb onto (Your Name)'s lap.
(Your Name) giggled before helping her struggling son.
"Hello (Your Name)…"
"Hello Saeran!"
"Where's Lucien and my brother?"
"Oh… Seven brought Lucien to see the doctor… They need to give him a checkup…"
"I see…"
He smiled.
"I'm happy he's fine."
"Yes… Me too…"
Ethan started tugging her shirt.
"Mama… L-Lucien?"
"Lucien is with daddy honey."
"I b-bring ChuChu…"
He got down from his mother's lap and ran to the bag.
He took out Lucien's Kangaroo.
"Oh! Lucien will be happy!"
"Y-yes! …"
The door opened.
Seven was carrying Lucien.
"E-Ethan! …"
"L-lucien!"
Lucien wiggled his fingers, he wanted to get down.
"You want to go down buddy?"
"Y-yes papa…"
"Okie, be careful…"
He placed Lucien on the floor.
Ethan waddled over.
He started patting Lucien's head.
"I brought Chuchu!"
"ChuChu!"
"ChuChu!"
They started giggling and talking in somesort of baby language.
Seven, (Your Name) and Saeran giggled along as well.
They were relieved that Lucien was okay…
They were also happy that Lucien and Ethan were so close.
Ethan took pride in being the older brother, and Lucien simply adored him.
