Chapter: Cold
"I told you that if you went out Patrolling in the rain you were going to get sick!"
ACHOO!
Leo groaned, pulling the blanket up to his chin. He took his brothers out patrolling the night before and although it appeared like it was going to rain he ignored Eveline's warning and went out anyways. Now all four turtles were stuck in bed with the flu and fevers. Eveline took it upon herself to call Casey to take Master Splinter to Aprils so he wouldn't get sick as well. He had left worriedly but felt relieved when she said that she would care for the turtles. She wore a pair of pink and black scrubs and a facemask.
"I'm sorry."
Leo mumbled, unable to speak loudly because of his sore throat. She sighed softly and rung out a wet rag, gently placing it on his forehead.
"It's alright. Just try to get better kay? I'll bring you some warm tea after I check on your brothers. Try to get some rest in the meanwhile."
He nodded and snuggled into the warm blankets. She smiled softly and walked out, shutting the door behind her silently. She sighed and shook her head.
"1 turtle down, 3 more to go."
She turned and walked down the hall, stopping at Raph's door. She gently knocked and was greeted by a loud snore. She opened the door, peeking inside. He was sound asleep on his bed, something that she had requested he have a long time ago. The blanket was covering his feet only. He shivered and curled in a ball, moaning softly. She walked over and re-adjusted the rag on his forehead. She pulled the blanket up and covered his body. He sighed before snoring again. She giggled gently and quietly walked out, shutting the door silently.
"Evieeee!" Mikey's voice sounded from his room in a hoarse tone.
Eve quickly made her way toward his room, silently opening his door.
"I'm here Mikey. What's wrong? Do you need more blankets?"
He groaned, the blanket over his entire body and head. He listed it slightly, eyes nearly red.
"No. Can I have something to drink? My throat hurts badly." He whispered, rubbing his throat.
"Sure. I'll be right back."
She quickly made her way downstairs toward the lab to check on Don, who she found tossing and turning in his sleep. She rewet his rag, wringing it out before placing it on his forehead. She covered him back up and rubbed his cheek until he calmed down. He hummed softly before snoring softly. She smiled and walked out, shutting his door.
"Okay. 2 turtles sleeping and 2 awake wanting tea."
She nodded to herself before hurrying into the kitchen, setting the kettle and warming up some water. She got two mugs out and filled them with the hot water, adding tea bags and honey. She stirred them before making her way back up to Leo's room. He lifted his head when he spotted her and sat up, moaning gently.
"Becareful Leo."
Eve placed both mugs down and helped him sit up fully. Once he was upright and comfy she gave him the tea.
"It's hot so wait for it to cool some before drinking. Do you need anything else?"
Leo blew on his tea softly before shaking his head.
"No thank you. I'm going to try to sleep after I drink this. Thank you very much for taking care of us Eveline. How are my brothers?"
"You're welcome and there okay. Raph and Don are asleep and I'm going to give Mikey some tea as well. You both got sore throats while Raph and Don got most of the fever. Sleep is the best way to heal up though."
He smiled and took a large gulp out of his tea, sighing blissfully.
"Don't let me keep you then." He said softly.
She nodded and smiled, petting his cheek.
"Get some sleep love. Hopefully you'll all be healed soon."
"Hopefully."
They chuckled before she picked up Mikey's mug before walking out and going to his room. She knocked gently before receiving a muffled 'come in'. She walked in and shut the door behind her. Mikey was curled up, coughing into his hand.
"Oh sweetie."
She walked over and put the mug down, gently rubbing his neck.
"Come on. Sit up."
She helped him up, soothing him with soft words till he stopped coughing. He whined, rubbing his throat. She picked up the mug and gave it to him.
"Here. Drink this. It'll help your throat."
Mikey nodded and blew on it softly a few times before taking a small drink. He sighed and took a few more sips before it was empty. She took it from him to put it on his side table. He laid back down, whining softly. When she went to stand he quickly reached out to grab her shirt. She blinked and looked down at him. His large blue eyes stared at her in a helpless way. She sighed and took off her slippers before crawling into bed with him. He moved over to give her room and once she was settled he buried his face in her chest, churring softly. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and gently pet the back of his head. He nuzzled her neck gently before he whispered a soft 'thank you' and fell asleep. She smiled and kissed his forehead through her mask.
"Goodnight Mikey."
A-A-ACHOO!
Raph chuckled, arms crossed and leaning against the doorway. Mikey sat beside Eveline's bed, bottom lip trembling in a pout. Leo shook his head silently beside Raph.
"She should have known better."
Don muttered, placing a wet rag on the sleeping, very sick, Eveline. She hummed in her sleep, snuggling in her blankets and sighing at the brush of Mikeys fingers on her forearm.
"This is all my fault." He muttered, defeated.
Don smiled slightly at him.
"It's all our faults Mike. She was taking care of us for over two days. She was bound to get sick."
Leo placed a hand on Mike's shoulder.
"Don't worry. When she wakes up we'll all take care of her."
"You bet." Raph said, giving him a thumbs up.
Mike smiled slightly before turning back to Eveline's flushed face. She moaned gently and surprisingly took his three fingered hand into hers.
"Hmm…get better guys." She mumbled softly in her sleep.
The turtles all smiled and shook their heads.
