Chapter 7: Awake in your arms

Rosetta had told the boys to watch over Lily, while she went in the kitchen to start dinner. Nick had decided to take the first watch.

Two hours had passed since Rosetta had starting making dinner, but neither of the boys was hungry, so they where glad that dinner wasn't ready.

Chris came out of the room and said, "It's your turn to watch her." Nick went into the room. He knew that Chris didn't want to leave, but he knew that is would be disrespectful to Rosetta if he didn't listen to her.

"Chris come in here, quick!"

"Tell, Rosetta that she is freezing cold and that these cover's aren't enough."

Chris ran out of the room and into the kitchen, "Nick said..."

"I heard."

She left the stove and went to Lily's room.

What she was going to suggest was already being done.

"Good, smart boy. I'll get you when dinner is done."

Nick was about to say something else but Chris had walked in, and then he went back out. Not even saying a word to his brother.

Nick was about to leave, but Lily said, "No." Nick knew it was only the fever speaking, but he needed to talk to Chris.

Nick could smell the stew, his mouth was watering in hopes that is was done. He heard footsteps coming and in walked Chris.

"Where's Rosetta?"

"I told her I would bring you you're food."

"Chris you do know that I had to strip down she needed my body heat to warm her."

"I know, but seeing you like this and...just... I just want her to get better." that was all he said as he walked out going to go get his own food.

Chris had come in the room to tell Nick his two hours where up, but he found Nick asleep and Lily in Nick's arms, but before he walked out of the room Lily looked at him.

"Chris, what?" She looked at Nick and that his arms where around her. "Chris I...we didn't."

"I know. Do you know why you're in bed?"

She laid there for a moment still in Nick's arms wondering what she last remembered.

"I remember playing in the snow, that's all I remember."

"You came down with a fever, and some how you got the chills, and Nick it was his turn to watch over you, so he was using his body heat to warm you up, and I guess he fell asleep."

'I'm better now." She squired out of Nick's arms, knowing that would wake him up.

"Nick I need to get my robe, and you need to put your clothes back on."

Even though Lily had satin lingerie on, she still felt like she needed a robe on, "Chris, I'll be out in a minute. Nick close your eyes."

Lily got up put on her robe and told Nick to get his clothes on, and then she went into the kitchen.

"Rosetta, we have to leave tomorrow."

"I figured. I heard you woke in Nick's arms."

"Yes, but I was asleep and having a bad fever."

"True, but your heart still knows who you want."

"It might but I still don't. I will admit it did feel nice in Nick's arms though."

Nick didn't get his clothes on at all he just fell back asleep. Chris was getting sleepy as well so he went to the room and slept on the right side of the bed, while Nick was on the left side.

Lily staid up through out the night and she tucked Rosetta into bed, then went to bed her self knowing since it was three in the morning and they had to get up at eight, so she only had five hours to sleep.

Morning had come and once again, she found herself waking in a brother's arms, and then she looked, it was Chris's arms she woke in to.

She squirmed out of Chris's arms hoping that would wake him up but he just staid asleep. She showered, got dressed, and then woke up Chris and told him to get ready.

Lily said goodbye to Rosetta as well as the boys did, and then they were out on the road faster since Nick was driving. They where headed for New York City, and they still hadn't called Miranda and Larry.

Authors Note: I have the next couple of chapters written but I don't know when I'm going to post them, just figured I would let everyone know that.
