I don't own EoA and this story is pre-amulet

King Raul walked into his toddler daughter's bedroom. His wife and oldest daughter were having a mother-daughter day, his in-laws were having a date. It was just him, his nephew and youngest daughter.

"Buenos días, Esteban," Raul greeted his nephew who was sleeping next to the crib.

"Tío Raul," Esteban said sleepily.

"You are such an overprotective primo," Raul joked. He went over to the crib, a bad smell hit his nose. He looked at Isabel, her cheeks were flushed. He put his hand on her forehead, Isabel was sick again. Raul took Isabel out of her crib and brought her to the changing table.

"Tío Raul, is Isabel ok?" Esteban asked.

"I think she has a stomach bug," Raul replied changing Isabel's extremely full diaper. Raul loved his daughters and hated them seeing sick, but little Isa was such a sickly little girl. A couple of months earlier she nearly died of pneumonia, her breathing was still weak.

"Isa, mijita,."

Isabel started to cry. Raul felt his heart break a little every time he had to hear in cries of pain. Isabel signed 'daddy sick'. At two-years-old Isabel still couldn't talk. The royals were learning sign language and Isabel was picking it up the quickest.

"Isa, what is hurting you?" Raul asked. Isabel pointed to her stomach as she sat up, and vomited all over herself. Isabel started to cry even harder. Raul carried her to her bathroom and started to run the bath.

"Tío Raul, is Isabel ok?"

"Esteban can you get Isa some new pajamas?" Raul asked taking Isa out of her vomit covered nightdress. Isabel started to fuss again. Raul put her over the toilet, as the toddler started throwing up.

"Poor baby, esta bien, papi esta aqui."

Isabel let out a few heart breaking sobs.

"Mi pobre bebe," Raul whispered as he put Isabel in the bath. After Isabel was done with her bath Raul brought her back into her room and got her dress. Isa was fussing as Raul brought her into the sitting room.

"Esteban, can you bring some diapers for Isa, her tummy is really upset."

Esteban nodded and grabbed a lot of diapers and wipes.

"Will Isa be ok?" Esteban asked.

Raul didn't know what to tell his nephew, Esteban was very close with Isa. When Isa had pneumonia and was in the hospital Esteban spent every night in the nursery waiting for her.

"She has a tummy bug, ask Alacazar if he as any potions for her?" Raul asked.

"Ok," Esteban said walking out of the sitting room. Raul asked a servant to bring some breakfast up for them and some medicine for Isa.

"Alacazar said he can make her potion. Tío Raul, are we eating breakfast in the sitting room?" Esteban asked.

"Si, Isa is napping, poor baby," Raul said as Esteban sat on the couch next his uncle.

"Tío Raul why is Isabel so sickly?"

"I don't know, it is just the way she is. Hopefully she will grow out of these sickly phase soon."

Raul talked with Esteban as they ate breakfast and Isabel napped. Isabel started to cry as she woke up. Esteban put Isabel on his lap.

"Isa, want me to read you a Santo book?"

Isabel snuggled into her cousin. She sighed 'yes, book.' Esteban smiled and grabbed a picture book from the table. Esteban started to read to a Santo the Science Jaquin book to her. Isabel laid a feverish cheek on his chest.

"Esteban you love your cousin."

Isabel buried her head into his chest. She whimpered again. Esteban sniffed and immediately turned his head away.

"Tío Raul, Isa needs a new diaper."

Raul took Isabel and sniffed her diaper.

"Someone needs a new diaper."

Raul put a mat on the ground and started to change Isa's diaper. The smell of the full diaper was one of the worst smells that Esteban ever smelled. Isabel began to cry again. Raul put her over a bucket.

"Poor baby, papi is going to make you feel better soon," Raul whispered petting the toddler's back. Raul read Isa's body language and picked her up. He whispered a lullaby to her. Soon she was napping again.

"Esteban, want to play a game of chess?" Raul asked as Isabel napped on the couch. Esteban nodded and went to get a chess board.

Raul and Esteban played a game. They played a few games until Isabel woke up screaming.

"Isa prima, you are going to be ok, cousin Esteban is here," Esteban whispered in her ear picking her up. Isabel looked up into Esteban's face and sign 'cousin, sick'.

"I know, prima, I got you," Esteban whispered into Isabel's ear. Isabel buried her head deeper into his chest. Isabel signed 'I love you'.

" I love you too," Esteban whispered as he rocked Isabel. Raul gave the kids a smile and put a hand on her forehead.

"Poor baby, Papi is trying to make you feel better," He whispered kissing Isabel forehead. Isabel turned her face and buried it into Esteban's chest. Isabel cried into his chest. Isabel threw up all over Esteban.

"Prima It's ok, you're sick," Esteban comforted as Raul took the vomit covered Isabel from her cousin's arms. Raul looked at his vomited covered nephew, Esteban was still in his pajamas.

"Esteban get clean up, I'm going to clean up Isa," Raul said. Esteban went to his bathroom to clean up and got dress. Isabel was crying so loud that the whole castle could hear her. Esteban walked into Isabel's room to see her face bright red. Raul was rocking her as she screamed bloody murder. Raul was singing a lullaby to the screaming toddler.

"Esteban can you go get a d-o-c-t-o-r," Raul spelled out. Isa cried out louder. Esteban went out of the nursery to get the royal doctor.

"Good afternoon your majesty. Is Princess Isabel sick again?" The Doctor asked.

"Yes, she has a really upset tummy, she has been throwing up and having diarrhea since she woke up. She is also running a fever."

The doctor took the toddler from her father's arm brought her to the changing table and did a check up. Isabel was screaming bloody murder as the doctor checked over her.

"Doctor, what does Isa have?" Raul asked.

"She has a nasty stomach virus. Keep her hydrated, and let it pass through her system," the doctor said picking up Isabel and bringing her back to her father.

"Thank you doctor, I will," Raul said taking Isa back. Raul put Isabel in her crib. Esteban looked at the crying toddler.

"Isabel, prima, you are going to get better soon."

Esteban sat down next the crib and got a book and started to read to her. Isabel looked over at her cousin and stop crying.

"Prima, you are gonna feel better soon, I promise."

Raul smiled at the cousins giving Isa a bottle of water.

"Isa, drink up, it will make feel better."

Isabel drank some water from her bottle before taking another nap.

Esteban laid down with his pillow and blanket and also took a nap.

"Esteban? Papi told me Isa is sick."

Esteban open his eyes to see his other cousin Elena.

"She is, she has a stomach bug," Esteban said getting up and taking Isabel out of her crib.

"Esteban, are you the primo ever," Elena said.

"That is true."

Elena sniffed the air and immediately turn her head away.

"Eww, Isa, papi, mami, Isabel needs a new diaper," Elena yelled running out of the room. Esteban looked at Isabel who buried her head into his chest. Isabel looked up and signed ' I love you, cousin'.

"I love you too, prima," he whispered hugging her closer.

"But not your smelly diaper," Esteban said pinching his nose. Isabel laughed as Raul came to change her diaper.
