It was the next day since Elena escaped from the house, she wasn't feeling good, not at all. Her nose was stiffy, she was sleepy, bellyache, headache, and she was hot and cold at the same time. She looked at the clock and saw 06:35. She wasn't on the couch anymore instead she was in her crib, still swaddled. She coughs a good time and she kicked the blankets away, what made Damon awake, she didn't mean to. He walked into her room.

" 'm Sworry I didn't mean to.." she apologized, he felt her head and immediately he knew she had a fever.

"Hey, no worries it's okay… It's just a bit early, just please don't be this early all the time.." He joked. He picked her up and placed her on the changing table, as soon he was done with the changing he got a thermometer and got her temperature to be certain. '105° or 40° (celsius)' "I think someone is sick…." he said joking

"Damin? I-i don't want t-to to be sick." She said as tears began to form in the deep brown eyes.

"Hey... Its okay everyone gets sick huh? Don't you think?" he tried to comfort her she nodded as Damon picked her up at bounced her lightly.

"Ye... Damon, I don't think that helps to bounce her…" Stefan said Damon looked surprised towards him "So you're still alive?" he joked. "Really funny, you should give her a medicine helps," Stefan said seriously, Damon walked to the kitchen to look for a medicine "YOU SHOULD GET HER TYLENOL ITS SPECIAL FOR KIDS!." Stefan screamed before he almost left

"Ey where are you going?" Damon asks before he could leave, "I Damon are gonna keep an eye out for Klaus for Elena." He said with pressure on the I as he touched Elena's nose, "Bye guys." as he used his vampire speed to get out of the house. "Well let's get some medicine in you," Damon said,

"Dami, I don't want medicine," Elena groaned as she rubbed her eyes. She could barely keep them open.

"I know it's yucky, but it's going to make you feel better," Damon told her. As he put her down on the kitchen table

"Okay," Elena whimpered She felt her Damon put one hand on her back to support her. Elena slowly opened her mouth and let Damon feed her the yucky purple syrup.

"Here, El. Do you want some water?" Damon offered once Elena had all of her medicine down.

Elena nodded her head and took a few sips of the water he gave her.

"Good job, Elena," Damon said, as he gave Elena a kiss on the top of her head. Damon fast got a blanket for Elena and put it around her and picked her up and went to the couch,

"What about a movie?" Damon suggested, Elena yawned and rubbed her eyes "yes.." Elena said as she laid her head on his chest and slowly closed her eyes.

Elena opened her eyes and saw Stefan smiling down at her.

"Hi little one," Stefan said as he brushed the hair out of Elena's face. he could feel the warmth from the fever.

"Hi Stef," Elena said as she rubbed her eyes and reached her arms up for him.

"How are you feeling?" Stefan said as he picked Elena up and held her on his lap, wrapping the blankets back around her.

"My tummy still hurts," Elena complained.

"I'm sorry," Stefan said as he rubbed Elena's back gently. Elena had gotten sick a few hours later, luckily they made it to the bathroom.

"How about I take your temperature?" Stefan suggested.

"Okay," Elena said. She opened her mouth for Stefan and waited.

"It hasn't come down," Stefan whispered, worry filling her voice.

"I thought I heard somebody awake in here," Damon said as he came into the room. "Look what I have for you!" Damon said as he held up Elena's favorite medicine!.

"Dammy, I don't want it," Elena complained as she turned her head into Stefan's chest and covered it with her blanket.

"Come on, Elena," Damon said as "Pleaassee do it for me." he tried

"Just drink it really fast. I have your water right here for you," Damon tried. Elena still wouldn't come out.

"Come on little one," Stefan said as he pulled the blanket from Elena's face and sat her up gently. "You know.., You're not going to get better if you don't take it."

"Fine," Elena said as she stuck out her lip. She watched Damon move the little cup of medicine towards her, and she slowly opened her mouth. She drank it and quickly reached out for her water. She took a few small sips and gave it back to Damon.

"How about we try to eat something, now," Stefan said "No.. I'm not hungry," Elena said, "Wait what?! you don't want to taste the most delicious soup of the best cook Damon?" Stefan acted childishly in the hope that she would eat it. "Okay then.." she giggled. As Damon sped away to make some soup Elena said "I know Damon isn't the best cook ever, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings." She said whispered honestly Stefan showed a smile.

She took a few bites and while watching a movie. Elena sat on the couch with Damon and Stefan on either side of her. She had 2 blankets to keep her warm. She snuggled in and waited for the movie to start.

Much to their surprise, Elena made it through the first movie without falling asleep. She then tried convinced Stefan and Damon to let her watch another one. Damon looked down about a half an hour into the second movie and noticed Elena's eyes starting to droop. he grabbed the pillow that was beside him, placed it in his lap, and tried shifting Elena so she would be laying down instead of sitting up like she was now.

"No, Dammy," Elena said once she realized what Damon was trying to do. "I can't see the movie if I lay like that."

"Alright," Damon said with a sigh, allowing Elena to stay sitting as she was.

"Come here, El," Stefan said as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close. This caused Elena to rest her head on his chest.

Damon couldn't help but roll his eyes at the very sneaky move. He got Elena to lay her head down with actually laying all the way down. His little plan worked. Elena was out like a light within minutes. Damon and Stefan weren't too far behind her.

"Stefan…" Elena moaned.

Stefan sat up quickly. he looked up and saw the credits rolling on the TV. Then, he looked towards Elena. he knew that look. Elena was going to be sick again.

"Come on, fast Stefan said as he scooped Elena up into his arms and rushed to the bathroom.

Damon carried Elena back to bed, while Stefan got a cool cloth for Elena's head and fetched her blanket from the couch.

"It's okay, peanut," Damon said as he laid Elena down and pulled the covers all around her.

"Here, let's check your temperature again," Damon said as he held the thermometer to her mouth.

"No, I don't want to," Elena groaned as she pushed it away and snuggled lower onto the bed. Every time they took her temperature, she had to take more medicine. She didn't want to take any more of that yucky stuff.

"Come on, El. Open your mouth for the best cook ever." Damon tried moving the thermometer towards her mouth once more.

Elena turned her face away and pulled her blanket over her mouth.

Elena was never a difficult child but now Elena was obviously going to put up a fight. They knew they at least needed to get some medicine in her. They didn't need the thermometer to know she had a fever. They hoped they could get Elena to take her medicine willingly, but they were ready just in case it needed to be done the hard way. Damon gave Stefan a nod and she gently took Elena's blanket away.

"Steffie, no," Elena cried as she reached out for her blanket.

"Elena, we won't take your temperature, but you at least need to take more medicine," Damon told her as he poured some from the bottle and into the little cup.

"Dammy, no," Elena whined.

"Open up, El," Damon said as he moved the medicine towards her.

Elena just clamped her mouth shut and stared him down.

"Elena, please," Stefan said with a sigh. "I know it doesn't taste good, but it's going to help."

Elena just shook her head. It was not helping. She already took some, and she was still getting sick.

"Elena, you are taking this medicine. We can do this the easy way or the hard way," Damon told her with a raise of his eyebrows.

Elena frowned as she looked up at Damon. She looked over to Stefan, who nodded his head. Elena crossed her arms and scooted farther away from Damon and that yucky medicine. She was not going to take it.

"Alright…" Damon said as he reached the cup of medicine out towards Elena.

Elena swatted her hand, trying to knock the cup away. Damon was too quick this time and easily moved it away without letting it spill. He gave the medicine to Stefan knowing what they were going to do.

"Elena…" Stefan warned.

"I'm not taking it. You can't make me. I don't want it!" Elena shouted as she kicked her legs and waved her arms about, trying the make her mommy drop the medicine.

"Elena, please. Stop," Damon said as he took her in his arms and gently held her so she could no longer move her arms and legs.

"Dammy, no! Stop! Let me…" Elena started to shout, but before she could finish she tasted that yucky medicine in her mouth. Elena closed her mouth and glared at Stefan. She wanted to spit this gross grape stuff right at her.

"Don't you dare spit that out Elena," Damon told her in a no-nonsense tone.

Elena frowned as tears started to form in her eyes. She swallowed the medicine and then started to cry. She didn't want to be sick anymore. She hated this. Why couldn't she just get better?

"It's okay, Elena. It's okay. It's all done," Damon told her as she loosened his grip and gently rubbed her arm.

"Here you go," Stefan said, giving Elena her blanket back. She brushed the hair from Elena's face and gave her a kiss on the top of her head.

Elena snuggled her blanket and continued to cry in Damon's arms. After a few minutes, she cried herself out and was asleep again. Damon carefully laid her down onto the bed. Stefan placed the cool cloth on Elena's forehead, hoping it would help bring her fever down.

She only slept for about an hour after her little tantrum over the medicine. They tried getting her to eat when she woke up, but she wouldn't. She had refused to eat even a bite since those few spoonfuls of soup. Stefan and Damon tried everything they could think of to get her to eat. She slept on and off throughout the rest of the evening and got sick one other time. They had to fight her when it was time to take her medicine again and could barely get her to take even a few sips of water. Her fever hadn't come down much either. She didn't seem to be getting any better.

"Stefan any solutions for this?" Damon asked in a hushed tone. The little girl was still really sick and Damon actually was getting worried.

"I don't know Dam. Let's just see how she is when she wakes up," They didn't want Elena to get dehydrated and become even sicker. They knew they would need to take her to the hospital if her fever wasn't broken by the time she was awake. They also knew Elena would not be happy about going there, but they might not have a choice.
