Fun fact: Did you know Angelica Schuyler also had a child named Phillip? THE PHILLIP LEGACY MUST GO ON! So um yeah.. I just thought that was kind of cool.. Okay, on with the story.
Theodosia was so excited. Everyone now knew about them being engaged. It was mid-afternoon. Theodosia assumed Phillip was still asleep, yesterday was a long night. She slowly creaked the door open, "Philly? Are you awake?", whispered Theodosia.
She creaked the door open a little more and peeked in, "Phillip?" Theodosia saw Phillip and Carrie were talking.
"Carrie..", whispered Phillip, "You know I can't do this.."
"Do what?", asked Carrie.
"I can't pretend to hate you any longer..", he said, inching close to her, "You know I love you."
"Well you're going to have to fake it until your wedding night.", whispered Carrie, tracing his lips with her finger, "Then you'll object in the middle of the wedding, just like we planned."
"But, it's just so hard.. I'm not sure if I can pretend to love her anymore.", said Phillip.
"Shh.", silence Carrie, "After you do this, we can run off together."
Carrie headed for the door. Phillip grabbed Carrie and pinned her to the bed. Theodosia's eyes widened as she watched Phillip pull Carrie into a pationate kiss. Carrie didn't hesitate before she slipped Phillip's shirt off and began to feel him.
Theodosia couldn't move. It was worse than the last time. The last time she misjudged the situation. She knew what she was seeing. Theodosia rubbed her eyes. THIS WAS NOT HAPPENING. Phillip could never do this to her! He couldn't. Why did she have to be so gullible? He was using her the whole time! The tears streaming down her face burned. Neither Phillip nor Carrie knew she was standing there.
Something in Theodosia's mind just snapped. Theodosia screamed. She woke up next to Phillip. It was just a dream. That didn't really happen. Thank the Lord.
"Theodosia?", whispered Phillip, "What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing. Sorry to wake you.", Theodosia whispered.
"Aww did someone have a nightmare?", teased Phillip, "You're adorable."
"It was- it was- it seemed so real..", stuttered Theodosia.
"Did you dream about me?", asked Phillip, wrapping his arm around her and tugging her close.
"Well, yes. You and Carrie were starting some explicit things in front of my face, and you broke my heart."
Phillip stiffened, "Theodosia? Do you think you had this dream because.. possibly you don't trust me?", asked Phillip.
"No- it's just.. I don't know.", said Theodosia.
"Don't lie to me, we're engaged. Truth is the foundation of relationships.", mumbled Phillip.
"I just don't want to lose you.", said Theodosia. She scooted closer to Phillip and kissed his cheek, "When Carrie kissed you when I walked in.. were you enjoying the kiss?", asked Theodosia.
"Dosia.. do you think I'm going to cheat on you?", asked Phillip.
"No.. I'm just.. scared.", whispered Theodosia.
Phillip scooted closer to her and used his free hand to cupped her face. He leaned in, closing the whole gap between them, "Dosia I would never.."
"It seemed so real..", repeated Theodosia.
Phillip hesitated but leaned more in anyways, "You know I love you, right?"
Theodosia smiled and kissed his nose, "I do."
Phillip picked her up and cradled her in his arms as if she was a baby. "You're such a tease, you know that? I leaned in for a kiss and you kissed my nose."
Theodosia giggled and leaned in. Phillip tilted his head to meet hers. Theodosia kissed him on the nose again and leaned her head back.
"Dosia... why must you torture me?", moaned Phillip.
Theodosia laughed at his disappointed face. She slid her hand under Phillip's chin and pulled him close. Before Theodosia could do anything, the excited Phillip attacked her lips with his. Theodosia could feel herself almost melt in his arms. Phillip enjoyed the sweet taste of Theodosia's lips.
Phillip broke the kiss and smiled at her, "Mmm.. that wasn't so hard was it?", he teased.
"Do it again.", mumbled the tired Theodosia, "Please.."
"You're so cute Dosia.", whispered Phillip, tilting her chin up. He leaned and slowly kissed her. Theodosia giggled and kissed him back.
Theodosia rolled over, hoping to give Phillip some more space, but Phillip pulled her back on top of him, "Where do you think you're going?", teased Phillip, "I need someone to cuddle with!", he whined.
"Honestly Phillip, you sound five years old. Would you like me to get you a plushie or a teddy bear for you to cuddle with?", asked Theodosia.
Phillip moaned, "Fine. Be that way. I know you want to cuddle with me. You can't resist me.", said Phillip proudly.
"I think I can.", laughed Theodosia, "But I'm starting to get cold.", she said, snuggling into his chest.
"They always come crawling back!", said Phillip.
"You know how your dad walked in on us when we were having a moment?", asked Theodosia, "We should really pick up where we left off, don't you think?", she asked with pleading eyes.
"Aww! How can I say no to the most precious girl on Earth? Okay how about tonight?", asked Phillip.
"Deal!", smiled Theodosia, "Can we get up now? It's 7:30."
Phillip moaned, "Why do you always get up so early?'
Theodosia tried to pick him up to carry him, but he was too heavy, "Ugh! Why are you so heavy?", asked Theodosia.
"I might seem heavy to a lady who weighs 80 pounds.", mumbled Phillip.
"Hey!"
"Okay, okay I'll get up.", said Phillip, 'Oh, I better change."
"I'll leave so you can change. Meet me downstairs?", asked Theodosia.
"You know..", said Phillip, stepping forward, "You don't have to leave.", he said with a smirk.
"Trust me Phillip, if I stay and watch, I won't be able to wait until tonight.", teased Theodosia and walked downstairs. Phillip moaned and got dressed as fast as he could. He chased after Theodosia
Everyone was already up, Including Burr, who always sleeps in until 9:00.
"Good Morning.", smiled Phillip as he sat down and pulled Theodosia into his lap.
"That was fast!", exclaimed Theodosia.
"I can't keep my lady waiting!", said Phillip.
The doorbell rung. Alexander got up. The doorbell rung four more times. "Coming!", shouted Alexander. He opened the door to see Angelica. She ran in.
"ELIZABETH! ELIZA- ELIZA PLEASE HELP ME!", cried Angelica, holding her baby in her arms, "ELIZABETH!"
Eliza came running. "What's wrong?", asked Eliza. Tears streamed down Angelica's face, "Angelica?"
"BABY PHILLIP! MY LITTLE SON IS REALLY SICK!", she sobbed, "I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH HIM!"
Phillip and Theodosia immediately got up and ran over.
"I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH HIM! HE CANT TALK.. H-HE CANT TELL ME!", sobbed Angelica. The baby's face was bright red. Baby Phillip was wailing in pain.
Phillip immediately picked up the baby and held him in his arms, "I think he has a fever!", he said putting his hand on the baby's forehead, "He's burning up!", Phillip took the baby out of the blanket and rocked the baby in his arms. The baby stopped wailing and fell asleep after a few minutes.
"Wow.", said Theodosia, walking over to Phillip, "You're very good with children."
Phillip smiled. He held the baby in one arm and wrapped his free arm around Theodosia.
"So how many children are we going to have?", asked Theodosia.
"As many as you want, Dosia.", said Phillip with a grin.
Their precious moment was interrupted by a loud cry from Angelica.
"Don't worry Angelica! We're going to get a doctor for your baby! Baby Phillip will be okay, I promise.", soothed Eliza. Alexander went out to get a doctor.
"Don't worry Mrs-"
"Call me Angelica, dear.", sniffled Angelica.
"You're baby will be okay.", whispered Theodosia and hugged her, "I know he will."
The doctor arrived and began to check out the baby in the guest bedroom so it wouldn't cause a huge scene. Angelica could not stop crying. Theodosia and Eliza ran into the kitchen to make cookies for Angelica to try to make her feel better. Eliza put the cookies in the oven and they waited for them to bake.
They heard a moan.
"Phillip?", called Theodosia. She took off her oven mits and walked into the living room to see Phillip laying on the couch, face red, and tears streaming down his face.
"..D-D..Dosia..", moaned Phillip, and reached out for her.
"PHILLIP!", cried Theodoisa. She put her hand on his forehead but immediately pulled it back, "Oh my god! Phillip you're so hot!"
"Th-thank.. you-", he murmured.
"No! Phillip you're burning up! You have a really bad fever... the baby probably got you sick!", exclaimed Theodosia.
"I don't feel very good..", whispered Phillip, "I.. I don't-"
"Shh!", soothed Theodoisa, "Stay there! I- I'll be right back...", she said and ran into the kitchen. She grabbed a cloth and poured cold water on it and ran back to Phillip. She only left for a minute and Phillip already looked worse. Theodosia put the wet cloth on Phillip, but it didn't change his temperature. She slipped his shirt off to find a huge rash. "Oh my!"
"ELIZA!", shouted Theodosia. Eliza came running. "Phillip had a fever! And an awful rash! What do we do?", cried Theodosia, "Is he going to be okay?"
"I'll get the doctor!", said Eliza, running into the room where the doctor was.
Theodosia cupped Phillip's face, but Phillip shoved her hand off, "No.. Th-Theodosia... I don't want you to get s-sick..", he mumbled, "D-Don't t-touch me.."
Theodosia nodded, "Get some rest. The doctor will be here soon.. don't worry."
The doctor, Eliza, Alexander and Angelica all came running out. The doctor inspected him. There was silence for a moment.
"Scarlet Fever.", the doctor said grimly. Theodosia froze in place.
"What's that?", asked Angelica, "Is it bad?"
The doctor sighed, "Scarlet fever is an infectious disease, which causes a high fever and a bad rash, also a dry and bumpy tounge, there is no treatment, no cure."
Theodosia ran upstairs as fast as she could and slammed the door. Burr ran after her.
Burr opened the door, "Theodosia, honey?"
"L-Leave me a-alone..", sobbed Theodosia, "J-Just go away!"
"Theodosia.. I know this is hard for-"
"HE HAS SCARLET FEVER!", Theodosia began to sob uncontrollably, "J-JUST LIKE MOM DID."
"Theodosia! Phillip will be-"
"He-He's gonna die!", whimpered Theodosia.
"Don't say that!", scowled Burr.
"It's true!", choked Theodosia.
Burr sighed, "If that's true, don't you want to see Phillip and spend his last moments with him?"
"I.. I- I can't see him like this..", she choked.
"He probably really misses you.", whispered Burr.
"I'll be down in a minute.", said Theodosia, wiping her tears away.
Burr walked downstairs, "Status report?"
The doctor looked at Burr with a sad expression on his face, "The baby's getting better but Phillip may go quick."
Authors note: ...Well the baby's gonna be okay, hooray..? Poor Phillip didn't deserve this. I'm being so mean to my characters XD
