Rutter Family Adventures Chapter 12: Sick Day
(No One's POV)
Nina and Fabian Rutter were in the kitchen eating breakfast with AnnaBelle Marie and Jonah. It was 9:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning, and Kacie was still asleep. It was ok that she was sleeping in since it was a Saturday and the kids didn't have any school. But Kacie wasn't asleep. She was lying in bed with an upset stomach and a hot forehead.
(Kacie's POV)
I was lying in my bed in AnnaBelle Marie's room (Kacie and AnnaBelle Marie share a room) holding my stomach. It hurt really bad and I didn't want to get out of bed. I reached for my phone which was under my pillow and I texted my dad to come upstairs to my room because my stomach hurt and I felt sick. After I sent the text message, I lied back down and I waited for my dad to come upstairs. When my dad came upstairs and he came into my room, he sat down on my bed and he checked my forehead. After he checked my forhesd he said, "You feel hot. I'm going to go get the thermometer." He went to go get the thermometer and then he came back and did a test. "100.4 degrees. You are definitely sick." He stood up and he said, "Your mom and I will take care of you today. Do you need anything?" I shook my head and he nodded. "Try and get some sleep. Text me if you need anything." I nodded and my dad left the room. I turned on my tv and watched tv and then eventually I fell asleep.
When I woke up it was 12:00. I noticed my tv was off and my light was off. Someone must have turned off my tv and my light I thought. I stretched and my stomach wasn't hurting that bad before but I was thirsty. I reached for my phone and I texted my mum asking if she could bring some tea upstairs for me. After that, I lied back in bed and I waited for my mum to bring me tea. When my mum finally arrived with the tea I asked for, she set it down on my bedside table and she asked, "How are you feeling?" "A little better. My stomach is still hurting though." My mum nodded and she felt my forehead. "Your forehead isn't that hot. It must have went down. I'm going to go get you some Advil so you can take it with your tea." I nodded and my mum went to go get some Advil. When she returned, she gave me the Advil and I put the Advil in my mouth and I took a sip of my tea. I put my tea down and I smiled at my mum. "Thanks for taking care of me. Also thank dad to." My mum smiled and she kissed my hair. "No problem sweetie. Would you like to watch some tv?" I nodded and my mum turned on the tv and she put on Once Upon A Time (And this is the BEST show! If you haven't watched it before I recommend you watch it). My mum smiled at me and then left the room. I pulled the blankets over me and I watched tv sipping my tea whenever I was thirsty.
At 5:00 I felt better! My fever was gone and I felt healthy. I got out of bed and I walked downstairs to see my family in the living room. When Jonah saw me he asked, "Are you feeling better?" I nodded and I walked to my mum and dad and hugged them. "Thanks for taking care of me while I was feeling sick." My mum and dad both smiled at me and said, "No problem. Were glad that your feeling better." "I am to." I sat down on the couch next to AnnaBelle Marie and I hung out with my family. Sick days suck. But when you have people who take care of you, the sick day is awesome.
