Chapter 6 : Ava Adrore
Elizabeth woke up at the sound of her daughter's voice. She sat up in the bed, seeing the form of Robert next to her made her wish she could stay in the warm place but she got up and went to her room. Ella was playing with her teddy bear but as soon as she saw her mother she jumped at her throat. They went to the first floor to have their breakfast. Ella started to ask her mother what they will do during the day. After a little debate, they decided to go to skate at the ice rink . But Elizabeth was worried, she wasn't sure Robert would agree to come with them to skate and wouldn't get hurt by their plan without consulting him. Robert awoke around three hours after the girls. He was a little surprised to not find Lizzie by his side but thought it was normal when he saw what time it was. He snaked a little on the flour, going to the bathroom, the toilets but still no clue of where Elizabeth was. He looked through the window and a huge smile grew on his face: Elizabeth and Ella were in the garden, playing in the snow. The little girl was on her mother and they were throwing snowballs to each other. Robert hurried to put his clothes on and ran outside. Before he could reach them, a big snowball hit his neck. He turned around and another hit him in the face, under the giggles of Ella. He couldn't help but smile. He moved toward Lizzie and kissed her good morning:
"-How are you? He asked touching her wet clothes.
-A little cold but good. She responded with a grin. And you, did you sleep well? -The beginning of the night was alright, he told her with a knowing look, but the morning was cold..
-I'm sorry that you had to wake up alone but my little miss needed me...
-I understand.. he approached her and whispered in her hear But I'd have loved to wake up in your arms... she just responded with a giggle" They stayed playing in the snow for quite a long time, since Ella's lips turned purple... they came back in the warm home and took hot chocolate. Before changing to go skating, they ate a bit. Once arrived at the ice rink , Ella wasn't sure anymore if she really wanted to skate. Seeing all those people down on the cold ice scared her a little. Robert saw that in her deep blue eyes; he took her little hand and help her to make the first move on the frozen surface. Elizabeth joined them in a second and they started to move around the ring slowly, Ella tucked between both them. They enjoined the moment, simply being with each other, like a family. Elizabeth moved her hand from Ella's to Robert's back and snuggled against him. He watched her do so , this time it was her with purple lips. He smiled coyly and made the final way to the concrete. He first put Ella out and then went out himself. He turned toward his girlfriend, who had beginning shaking badly. He extended his hand to her. She gratefully took it and hurried in his arms. She stayed so for a moment which seemed like an eternity to her, she felt so good there, he was so warm, his hand was softly caressing her neck, his hot breath against her cheek and she could feel the love emerging from their love. She could feel his love warming her and her love to him touching him a the same time. That was the more peaceful moment she had shared for a long time. She would have liked this moment to never end.. but Ella wouldn't. She grabbed her step father 's sleeve and tried to attract his attention. She wanted a hug too. He stepped back from her mother and rose her, then came back to Elizabeth, taking near him his two girls. Elizabeth wasn't that warmed and Robert was perfectly aware of that so he decide that coming home would be better. Even in a hot bath, she couldn't warm. She still felt frozen. Robert entered and saw her under the water. The mirror was covered with condensation, the atmosphere was heavy because of the hotness but when he saw her emerge from the water her lips were still a bit purple and she seemed to be quite cold: "-You're still cold? He asked, even if he was pretty of what the answer was.
-Yeah. I can't warm up. She answered, a bit angrily.
-You want me to join you and try to warm you up? He asked both seductively and coyly. He wasn't sure she would accept and promised to himself he wouldn't push her.
-That's perhaps the best idea I heard to day. She responded with a huge grin."
After an hour in the bath, some addition of hot water, caresses, and kisses Elizabeth was still frozen. Robert couldn't find a way of warming her up so he suggested they go out of the bath and try to dry. He helped her out, put a towel, which have preliminary put on a heater, around her shoulder and another around her heavy hair, and she was still cold. He assisted her to dry her hair, nothing, she started shaking again. She wore a pant, ski socks, a sweater and a wool jacked but she felt still bad. Robert decide it was time to take her temperature , but she hadn't any. He proposed her to go bed and she agreed. A few minutes later, she was sleeping like a baby, her boyfriend rubbing her back to allow her to calm down.
He took care of Ella and himself, perfectly well, he thought. And that was right. He played with her and her Barbies for a long moment, explaining her that her mommy was too tired now to go down. He gave her a bath, with lots of bubbles and yellow ducks. He surprised himself finding it pleasant. Before reading her a bedtime story, he made them diner. It was, to his biggest surprise, neither burned nor indigestible. The pasta was good, the sauce was a bit less, but it was okay. They chatted about anything, in fact Ella chatted but he wasn't sure he understood everything. Then he helped her to brush her little teeth and put her to bed. After that, he put her to bed, she asked to be read stories and he did so but she wasn't sleeping after a long moment, she was missing her mother, so he sang to her: "Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world Dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die Drinking mercury To the mystery of all that you should ever leave behind In time"
He didn't have to sing any more than the chorus and she was already sleeping deeply. He adjust the covers on the little body, kissed the child's pink cheeks and left quietly the bedroom to enter theirs.
Elizabeth was still sound asleep so he decided to clean his teeth, changing into pyjamas and going to find her in the warm bed. When he enters in, it was all soaked, he caress Elizabeth's hair which were hanging at her neck by all the sweat she had produced . He removed some of the covers to cool her but when accidentally he touched her forehead, she was so hot! He replaced the covers back, run into the bathroom, coming back with a thermometer and a damp cloth to apply on her soaked head . Doing this he woke her up but she didn't say anything, she was feeling so bad. Her head was pounding, she was having trouble seeing, her hands were shaking, and a bad feeling of nausea passed over her body. She reached out of the bed and let go out the content of her stomach. Robert watched her, he was too shocked to say or do anything. A while after that, he had regained his composure and was helping her move to the bathroom, in fact he was nearly lifting her because her legs were too weak to carry her. He sat her on the cool ground, allowing her a little break. She was so pale, he had never seen her like this before, she looked so fragile, her body curled in a little ball, her breath heavy, he couldn't help but take her in his arm. She opened her eyes briefly, looked up at him and came back to what seemed to be sleep. He steadied her against the bath tub and left to bring the thermometer. When he took hers, it was 40.1°C. He had been worried early but now, it was most than worry, it was almost fear...
He was a doctor since quite a long time but facing this situation, he didn't feel he was exactly acting as one. He watched her sleepy form one more time and decide he needed to do something. He went searching his for his doctor's kit and administered her some medication to allow the fever to fall. As he injected her , she didn't even move. He called her name, alarmed that she didn't respond to that, she only barely opened her eyes. Deciding that she needed to be in a comfortable room , he picked her up and put her back in the bed. He removed all the covers, which were dirty from her sweat and vomit. He cleaned the ground, put new covers on. He decided that he needed some sleep too and seeing that Elizabeth's status wasn't moving, he entered the bed, took Lizzie in his arm to make sure that he'll feel her if she moved and quickly fall asleep too.
