"Why do you need to see my daughter?" Joe demanded. Caitlin took Jenna from Cecille.
"I don't know. I just know that Jenna is crying way too much, and she shouldn't be." Caitlin admitted. She walked with Jenna, Joe, and Cecille into the lab. Ralph was still on a bed, out like a light.
"Do you think it could be anything serious?" Cecille's voice quivered. Joe rubbed her back and kissed the top of her head. Caitlin shook her head.
"Nothing too serious." She said. Both Cecille and Joe took a deep, happy breath. "It could be colic, a disease that almost all babies get, maybe a common cold, maybe overfeeding, or…. Or…" She had a realization.
"Or what?" Joe boomed. Caitlin took Jenna's blanket off of her. She looked all around the baby's body. Then she found it. A small red bump on Jenna's leg. Actually, a series of bumps.
"Chickenpox." Caitlin confirmed. "That's not good."
"Why not? I thought you said this wasn't anything serious."
"It's harmful for babies. Maybe even deadly." Joe and Cecille looked at each other in extreme fear. "I'm not exactly a pediatrician, but since we caught it so early on, I think she'll be okay."
"You think or you know?" Joe asked. Caitlin looked down in disappointment and handed the baby back to Cecille.
