Day 5 for #OQPromptParty is Prompt #93 'Regina Is Sick, Her Men Take Care Of Her'.

Regina didn't like being sick, the idea of being unable to go about her daily business filled her with dread; but her head had been pounding for 2 days straight and she had woken up last night drenched in sweat and running a fever.

"You're not going anywhere, madam." Robin said, placing the back of his hand on her forehead. "You're burning up and you look like hell."

"Well aren't you charming? Regina sighed, "I have things to do, I don't have time to be sick!"

"Regina, you're probably ill because you haven't taken a sick day since you were born. You're burning yourself out babe; you need to take some time out." Robin said sternly, kissing her softly on her temple.

Regina groaned, "Fine."

"Besides, I can assure you Henry, Roland and I are more than capable of taking care of the house for one day whilst you rest up." Robin smiled, pulling on some shorts and a t-shirt.

Regina snorted, "Last time I left you all alone you almost burnt the damn house down."

Robin rolled his eyes, "Well, I'm sure we've all learned from our mistakes. You get some rest, and we'll be fine okay?"

Regina sneezed loudly, her head in agony, "Okay, I fold. Maybe I could do with a day of rest."

"Good, now, you just lie back and relax and I'll be up later with some soup and hot tea." Robin smiled, before shutting the door behind him, immediately running into Roland and Henry who were standing outside their bedroom door.

"Is Mom sick?" Henry said, cocking an eyebrow.

"Much to her distain, yes. So we're going to let her rest for the day okay?" Robin said quietly.

"What's dis…dis… dista…distain?" Roland said, struggling to say the word right.

"It means she's not very happy about it, you know how much she likes to be in control. But she's agreed to take a rest day, and I've assured her we're more than capable of sorting out the house well she does so, so are you with me?"

Roland raised his fist into the air, "Yeah Papa!"

Robin smiled, "Right, I need to run to the grocery store and get your mom some fresh soup. Can I trust you two to make sure you Mom is well looked after whilst I'm gone for thirty minutes?"

Roland nodded and Henry shrugged, "Sure thing, Dad."

When Robin arrived home half an hour later the house was eerily quiet.

Thinking the worst he plated up Regina's soup and bread, and grabbed some cutlery before heading upstairs hoping he didn't find the house in absolute chaos.

It wasn't usually a good sign when the house was this quiet.

What greeted him was something quite different, Roland and Henry were on the bed next to Regina fast asleep, their arms wrapped tightly around her.

Robin smiled to himself before gently tapping on the door, all three of them rousing slowly at the sound. "I brought soup." Robin said, moving towards the bed.

"We were looking after Mommy and keeping her safe." Roland said, rubbing his eyes.

Henry chuckled, "Yeah, and I guess we kind of fell asleep in the process."

Regina pushed herself up in bed as Robin handed her the piping hot soup, "Thank you."

"It seems I needn't have worried." Robin smiled, kissing her temple gently.

When Regina finished her soup, the boys left her to get some more rest.

"I'm really proud of you two, you know." Robin smiled, "You did a fantastic job of looking after your Mom whilst I was out."

Henry and Roland both smiled proudly.

"I guess we better get a start on the chores though huh?" Henry said, looking around the living room.

Robin chuckled, "Tell you what, why don't you be in charge of looking after your Mom, and I'll do the chores?"

Both the younger boys grinned happily, "Love you, Dad!" they both said in unison.

"And I love you too." Robin smiled.
