I took like three naps that day and I frankly don't care. They were all with Jake snuggled up to me and I fell asleep instantly. My Dad came about four when I was in a deep sleep under Jake's arm with the thickest blanket we had because I was shivering like crazy.

"How is she?" I heard as I pretended to be asleep.

"She's good. The only problem is she won't tell me if she's hurting or not." I heard Jake's voice and it sounded sad.

"That's a small problem." My Dad says. "She's done that ever since she could talk. She doesn't like adding to the drama that keeps threatening to suffocate her."

Jake coughed. "Do you mind if I go home and take a shower and change my clothes? I don't know how long I'm staying."

"Sure." My Dad said. "Depending on how she heals, I'd pack a bag."

"Thank you for letting me stay here sir." Jake said. "I'll be back." I heard him close the door and the sound of his iron man suit being put on.

I burrowed deaper into the blanket, trying to catch Jake's smell.I heard my Dad sit in his reclinor and turn on the TV to quiet, I felt myself fall asleep.

"Peggy, Peggy do you want to go to school today?" I felt myself being woke up.

I groaned and sat up. "Dad?" I looked up into the darkness.

"No, it's Jake." Jake knealt down beside me.

I felt my side and groaned. "Oh my god. I don't want to go to school until these stitches come out."

Jake nodded and pulled the blanket up to my neck, I didn't even realize I was shivering. "I guess no school today then." He touched my cheek. "Look at you! You're freezing."

I held my arms out. "I'd be warmer if you'd cuddle with me."

Jake smiled and slipped under the blankets with me. He pressed his warm body to my freezing one. "Better?" He felt my forehead. "You're burning up!"

My teeth chattered. "I'm f-f-fine." I sputtered out.

"I think you have a feaver." He said and wrapped his arms around my waist, his hand falling on my stitches.

"W-w-what time is it?" I curl into his neck.

"Six." He stroked my knotted hair. "I'm sorry I woke you up so early."

"It's f-f-f-f-fine." I chattered out.

"You have an appointment today to check on the stitches." Jake said. "At three."

"I-i-is my D-d-d-dad h-h-here?" I ask.

"He's up but hasn't left yet." Jake said and pulled the blanket tighter around us. "Maybe your feaver will break before your appointment. Try and sleep, I promise I'll wake you up when they get here."

I nodded and curled farther into his neck, clinging to him like a drowning man would for life. I fell into a lighter sleep than I have in the past.

"Peggy, they're here." Jake shook my shoulder lightly.

I wrapped the blanket around me and sat up, only to fall back onto the couch in pain. "Hey guys." I tried to blink the black spots out of my vision.

Everyone rushed to my bedside. "Are you okay?" Anna asked.

"I'm fine." I lied.

Jake felt my forehead. "You're burning up again."

I tried to protest but Sophie held me down. "You're not fine." She said. "Now tell us how you really feel."

I looked at Jake. "Get me a painkiller." I said. "I can see blackspots." I told them. "It hurts."

Jake came rushing back in with a glass of water and a pill. "My happy blue pill." I mumbled.

Anna gave Jake a worried look as I swallowed the pill. Jake gave me a worried look as well.

"You guys should go to school." I said. "Stop worring about me." I took Anna and Sophie's hand.

"I can't go to school when my best friend got stabbed!" Anna said and everyone murmed in agreement.

"Don't worry about me." I coughed.

Sophie frowned. "How can we not worry about you?"

"Take my happy blue pill." I suggusted.

Everyone frowned. "Come on Peggy. You're not even like yourself anymore." Lucas said.

"Just go to school, Jake's here to take care of me." I said and coughed once more. "I have an appointment today, we'll give you updates."

Sophie nodded. "Like hell you better!" She said. "We'll call you during lunch, Mrs. Nelson has asked us to give us updates on you."

I nodded. "I can't promise you I'll be awake though."

Anna pulled at my hair. "But can I french braid your hair before we leave? Then you won't have to brush it."

I nodded. "My brush in on my dresser."

Jake helped me sit up with a glass of water. "Do you want breakfast?"

I laughed but it turned into a cough. "The thought of food right now seriously makes me want to throw up." I said honestly. "But thanks anyway."

Anna came back in and started brushing out the tangles and Skaar, Lucas and Jake whispered back and forth.

So in fifteen minutes, my hair was done in two french braids and Anna was crying.

"Bye." She kissed my cheek again and hugged me. "Feel better."

After everyone had hugged me and said goodbye. Jake looked like he wanted to cry again.

"Jake, it's okay." I said and put my hands in his hair.

He sniffed. "No it's not." I could see the tears running down his face. "I feel like I'm doing something wrong."

Even in my sick state, I hauled him up onto the couch from the floor. "Listen here Jake." I said. "You are the best nurse a girlfriend could ask for. I don't think anyone else's boyfriends would stay with them when they got stabbed. Nobody could ask for anyone else." I grabbed him by his ears. "Only girlfriends get to cry if they think they're doing something wrong, okay?"

Jake wiped his eyes. "Okay. Captain America's daughter should heal fast, the hole in her body should close." He leaned in and kissed me.

I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck to pull him closer. "Love you." I whispered.

"Love you too." He whispered back and put all of his weight on his elbows, which were on either side of me. "You're so beautiful." He muttered.

"Even in sweatpants?" I asked.

"You know, most girlfriends wouldn't want their boyfriends to see them like this?" He said.

"Yeah, and who said I'm like most girlfriends?" I said.

Jake rolled off me and laid on the floor. "Do you need anything?" He asked.

"Yeah, can I have some more water?" I held up my empty glass.

He smiled. "See, now we're getting somewhere." He hopped up to grab my empty glass.

I smiled and wrapped myself in a few more blankets that we had hanging over the end of the couch. By the time Jake came back, I was half asleep because I was starting to get warmer.

"Hey... You feeling better?" He set the glass on the coffee table.

I nodded. "I feel warm again."

Jake smiled and sat criss cross apple sauce on the floor beside the couch. "Do you want to try walking again?"

I nodded and he helped me up. I stood up all by myself. Jake crossed the livingroom.

"Okay, try walking to me." He held out his arms. "I promise I'll catch you."

I nodded and took a step foreward, a little bit on pain exploded on my left side but I still took another step. I had about three steps left to Jake and I was breaking a sweat.

"You can do it Peggy." Jake held out his arms.

My legs felt like jell-o but I had one more step left. I advanced with my left foot and fell into his arms.

"Whoa, that's enough walking for today." He caught me and picked me up like a bride. "You know by the time we're married, I'm going to have a lot of practice at this." He said and set me down on the couch.

I took a long drink of water. "I think my feaver's gone."

Jake felt my forehead and smiled. "Yeah, it's gone. Can I check your stitches?" He asked.

I nodded. "Sure." I lifted up my tanktop to reviel my bandages.

Jake carefully unwrapped them and took a look at the twenty stitches that stretched across my side. "They look good. I think you're healing pretty fast. Just for school you might need to be in the wheelchair." He kissed my forehead. "I'll go make you some toast." He got up after he wrapped the bandages back up.

"Only toast!" I yelled.

Jake smiled and walked into the kitchen. I put my laid my head back into my pillow and began to drift off to sleep. I was half asleep when Jake came back in with a plate of toast. I was begining to shiver again, but not as bad.

"Hey... You're appointment is in a couple hours, why are you shivering again?"

"I-it's not a-as bad a-as b-b-before." I chattered.

Jake felt my forehead with the back of his hand. "I don't think those stitches are comeing out today."

"Great." I hissed under my breath. "J-j-just what I need. Come snuggle with m-m-me." I whined.

Jake put on a painful smile and slid under all the blankets. "You're still warm but not as bad." He wrapped his arms around me.

I breathed in his smell that made me woozy. "I-I-I love y-y-you."

"I love you too." He said. "Do you need another painkiller?"

I nodded. "My side is starting to hurt again." It was true, there was an ache in my left side.

Jake got up and tucked the blankets around me. "See, if you told me if you need stuff, you'd feel better." He walked into the kitchen. He came back with my happy blue pill and a fresh glass of water. "Here you go. Do you want to watch a movie?"

I nodded and swallowed the pill. "Your pick."

He walked over a put Expendables two in the player and laid back under the blankets with me. I watched the opening credits and then fell asleep under Jake's arm.
