Another little twist, this is a little sad.... set a year later

Sky wandered back to the bedroom to check on Oliver after he had been heard crying loudly. Sophie had put him to bed only 20 minutes ago has the toddler had seemed under the weather.

Walking into the room, Sky heard Oliver's cries now only sobs. "Ollie Boy" he said walking over to his son's bed in the corner of the room. Oliver looked up at him with his round brown eyes, no longer sparkling but instead blood-shot and red from his tears. His cheeks were cherry red.

Sky felt Oliver's forehead with the back of his hand, the young boy felt as if he was on fire. "Oh Ollie" Sky said worriedly. He lifted Oliver in to his arms, the toddler was boiling but shivered as if he was cold.

Oliver's tears stopped as he snuffled and whimpered into Sky's shoulder. "Everything Ok?" Lucy asked happily skipping into the room. "Go get your mum, Lucy, tell her your brothers ill" Sky said. Lucy's sweet smile disappeared as he said that but she did what her dad told her.

Sky knew what was wrong with Oliver was not a normal cold or flu but a much worse flu. One that would put an adult into bed, he hated to think what it could do to his two year old son. Oliver coughed violently suddenly, clinging to Sky's t-shirt his tiny hands shivering slightly

.

Moments later, Sophie come running into the room. Sky could see the fear in her eyes when she saw Oliver curled up against Sky's chest. Donna stood in the doorway. Sophie grabbed a blanket from the drawer and wrapped it around Oliver's tiny body.

"We should get him to the hospital just in case" Donna said, Sophie nodded tears rolling down her cheeks. She took Oliver into her arms and cradled him close to her chest.

"Come on lets go get him checked out" Sky said. They rushed towards the car, Sam joining them. "Daddy" Lucy shouted, running after them as fast as her little six year old legs could carry her.

Sky grabbed her to stop her. "Stay here Lucy Lu" He said firmly. Lucy hugged him tightly, weeping into his chest. "Don't worry princess" he replied kissing her forehead before jumping into the jeep.

Arriving at the hospital, the group ran to the children's ward emergency room. It seemed like hours before Oliver was placed into a bed. He was quickly hooked to an antibiotic drip to bring his fever down and to a temperature monitor.

His whimpering stopped as a nurse gave him a sleeping drip so he was calm. Sophie and Sky held his hands, which every now and again shivered. Donna and Sam could say nothing but just stood there. Oliver fell asleep quickly.

Sophie stared at him with tears in her eyes. "I'm a terrible mother" She sobbed turning to Sky and burying her face in his shoulder. "Soph, why would you say a thing like that?" Donna asked wanting to hug her daughter but knowing Sky could comfort her like she wanted so badly.

"I should have stayed with him, kept an eye on him" Sophie cried, resting her head on Sky's chest. "This would have happened whether you were there or not" Sky said soothingly. "This is not your fault." He moved strands of hair that stuck to her tears away from her face and kissing her tear-stained cheeks.

Donna and Sam thought it best to leave them be. "Why our family, Sky?" Sophie asked, her tears still rolling unable to stop. Sky sighed wrapping his arms around her and holding her close, just letting her sob into his chest.

"First Lu, then me, now Ollie. You're the lucky one who holds this family together" Sophie said, her voice muffled by her now slowing sobs. Sky smiled at her, still holding her in his arms. He rocked her slightly while whispering soothing words into her ear.

"Everything will be fine my baby. Things happen, sadly unlucky to us but everything will be ok?"

Oh, Sky is so lovely. He comforts Sophie brilliantly and is always there for her. Wouldn't you want a husband like him. I would.
