Jake opened his eyes to Marley's head lying on his chest and drawing circles with her fingers on his bare chest.
"Hey, beautiful."
Marley looked up at Jake through her eye lashes, before leaning up and kissing him softly on the lips, letting her hand reast on his cheek "Good morning."
"How did you sleep?"
"Great, what about you?"
"I slept through the night, but just because you were with me, and because of all the energy we used last night."
Marley blushed and laid her head back on his chest. "We should get up soon. I mean we're both still half naked and Liv could wake up any minute."
Marley attempted to get up but Jake wouldn't let her. "No, stay with me. Just for a few minutes, then we'll get up and take a shower."
"Nice try. I'll get a shower, then you can get one. I don't want Liv to catch us." She chuckled before relaxing in Jake's arms once again.
"You win." Jake smiled and rubbed her back.
"I love you, Jake."
"Love you too, Marls. Can I ask you something?"
"Of course you can, you know that."
"I want you and Liv to come stay with me once we get back to Ohio. I want to wake up with you like this every morning, and I want to make breakfast with Liv and tuck her in."
"I don't know, Jake. Is there enough room at your place for us?"
"Yeah, you'll sleep with me and we can make one of the extra guest rooms into a room for Liv."
"I would love to, and I'm sure Liv would too."
"That's perfect."
"We should get up."
"Go take a shower, I'll wait until you get out."
"I'll be right back."
"Okay, love you"
"Love you too." Marley walked into the bathroom.
Jake laid in bed and waited for Marley to get done in the shower. Almost twenty minutes later Marley caame out if the bathroom only wrapped in a towel.
"Oh come on!"
Marley smiled innocently.. "What?"
"You're naked under that towel."
"Well I'm going to get dressed, you go get a shower. Breakfast should be ready when you're done, I'll be in the kitchen."
Marley walked into the closet and put on some jeans and sweater. When Jake finished in the shower, he got dressed and walked into the kitchen to see Marley making home made waffles and some sausage. He walked up behind her and kissed her cheek.
"Smells good, babe. Is Liv up yet."
"It should be done in a few minutes, Liv is still sleeping. I checked on her and she is knocked out, snoring a little even."
Jake chuckled. "Well at least my angel is getting some rest. She's been nonstop energy these past couple days."
"Mommy?" Liv said sleepily as she walked into the kitchen.
Jake walked over to Liv and picked her up. "Good morning, Liv."
Olivia laid her head on Jake's shoulder. "Are you hungry, Liv?"
Liv just nodded her head. Jake held her and walked over to the table to sit her down just as Marley walked over with a plate.
"Thank you, mommy."
"Your welcome, what do you want to do today?"
"I don't know, I don't feel good."
Marley sat down at the table across from Liv. "What's wrong, Liv?"
"My tummy hurts and my nose is stuffy." Marley put her hand on Liv's forehead.
"Jake she's burning up, can you grab me the thermometer in the bathroom cabinet?"
"Be right back." Jake went to the bathroom and grabbed the thermometer before coming back to the table and giving it to Marley.
"Open up, Liv."
Olivia allowed Marley to put the thermometer in her mouth, once Marley pulled iy out she looked at the temperature.
"Her temperature is just below 101."
"Come here Liv." Jake motioned for Liv to come to him, she stood up and he lifted her up.
"We're going to make you feel all better, Liv."
"Thanks, Jake."
"I'll take her to her room, maybe she should get a bath, it might make her feel better. Do you want to take a bath, Liv?" Olivia nodded her head.
"Okay."
Jake took Liv into her bedroom and grabbed her favorite pajamas, then he took her in the bathroom and ran the bath.
"You'll feel better, I promise. When you get out you can lay in your bed and mommy and I will help you."
Liv gave Jake a hug. "Thank you, Jake."
"Your welcome sweetheart. I'm going to go talk to mom for a minute, you think you'll be okay?"
"Yeah."
"Just yell for me or mommy when you're done."
Jake walked into the kitchen to see that Marley was cleaning up. "She okay?"
"Yeah, I just think she caught a bug or maybe it's food poisoning. Either way she'll get better."
"I'm going to run down to the store to grab some things for her, will you keep an eye on her?"
"Absolutley, once she's done in the bath I'll get her to bed."
"Thank you, I don't know what I'd do without you."
"It's fine, go to the store quick, we'll be waiting."
Marley pecked Jake's lips before grabbing the keys and getting into the car. Marley drove to the nearest grocery store and grabbedd everything she could think of that Liv would need. Marley got tissues, tons of fluids, ingredients to make her special chicken noodle soup, a can of chicken noudle soup to hold Liv over, medicine, a teddy bear, and she went to another store to buy all her favorite movies. Marley tried to get home as fast as possible.
Jake heard Olivia call his name so he went into the bathroom.
"Are you ready to get out?"
"Yes."
Jake grabbed a towel and helped Liv out of the bath tub, he then helped her put on her favorite pajamas that had frogs on it.
"Want a piggy back ride?"
"Yeah!"
Jake got down on his knees and Liv jumped on his back, he stood up and carried her to her bedroom. He put her on the bed and opened the blinds for some light. Just as he did he heard Marley walk in.
"In here, Marls!"
Marley walked into Liv's room and sat on the bed next to Liv, she left most of the bags in the kitchen except for the one with the teddy bear and movies.
"How are you feeling?"
"A little better."
"Well, I got you some things." Marley pulled out the teddy bear and Liv held it.
"He's cute." Liv smiled and Marley was so happy she could make her daughter smile.
"I got you these too." Marley pulled out Cinderella I, II, and III, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, The Princess and the Frog and Tangled.
Olivia smiled and grabbed The Princess and the Frog. "I want to watch this one, it matches my pajamas."
Jake laughed at Liv's reaction and grabbed the movie from her and popped it into the dvd player.
"Lay down, Liv." Marley said before tucking Liv in.
"I'll be back with something to drink and eat that will make you feel better."
Jake and Marley walked into the kitchen ans started unpacking the things Marley had bought. "Can you take her one of those drinks, I don't want her to get dehydrated."
Jake took the drink to Liv, he even opened it and put in a bendy straw. Then, he walked back into the kitchen.
"Anything I can help you with, Marls."
Marley smiled. "You can help me make chicken noodle soup."
"Okay, let's start."
Jake and Marley made the soup and gave some to Liv, who was starting to feel better. The entire day they took care of Liv and when she fell asleep they were so exhausted that they went right to bed.
