It was in the middle of the night when Santana awoke. It was hot, too hot. She felt like she was burning up and her stomach trembled. Walking the few metres to the bathroom, she pressed her arms against her abdomen, like the pressure could somehow ease the pain. Every step hurt and she was starting to feel dizzy, when she finally made it to the bathroom, she quickly splashed cold water onto her face before she suddenly felt like throwing up. She made her way over to the toilet as fast as she possible could before she threw up her last meal. To say that she felt horrible was an understatement. She barely managed to flush and brush her teeth to get rid of the taste in her mouth, as the pain in her stomach overcame her like a wave. She whimpered as she carefully slid down the smooth wall of the bathroom.

Brittany awoke by the sound of the toilet flushing. She turned around on her side, trying to sleep again but as she opened her eyes, Santana still wasn't back in bed.

"Santana?" She asked into the darkness. "Sweety, are you alright?" She waited several moments, but as she didn't receive an answer, she pushed herself up to get out of bed.

"San, are you in there?" Brittany asked once she had reached the closed bathroom door. She was about to ask again when she heard a soft whimper that sounded like someone was in pain. Santana. Opening the door, Brittany looked around only to find her girlfriend against the opposite wall, her eyes watery while she pressed her hands against her stomach with a painful expression.

Brittany felt her heart break when she saw Santana like that.

"Sanny!" She whispered as she made her way over to her. "What's wrong baby?"

"It hurts." Santana cried out quietly.

"What hurts?" Brittany asked concerned.

"My stomach." She said as a tear fell down her cheek.

"No, baby, don't cry."

"It's just that my stomach hurts and i'm dizzy and i feel so sick." She said tiredly. "And i just threw up and my stomach still hurts so bad." she cried out.

"I know, baby. Let's get you back to bed, okay? Can you walk by yourself or you need me to help you?"

"I think i can walk." She said as she pulled herself up, trying to regain her balance.

Santana walked over to the bedroom followed by Brittany before laying down, and Brittany pulled the sheets over her.

"I'll get you something to make you feel better and then you'll try to sleep, okay?" She asked but it sounded more like an order. Santana nodded in response, closing her eyes as Brittany went down. A few minutes later she returned with some pills, a glass of water and a heating pad.

"Sanny?" She whispered, trying to figure out wheter she was asleep or not.

"Britt." She mumbled. Brittany sat down on the bed, placing the glass of water and the pills on the nightstand before pulling the covers back and pulling Santana's shirt up to place the warm heating pad on her belly.

"Santana you're hot." She said worried after she had felt the temperature on her forehead.

"I already know that, baby."

"You know what i mean."

"It's so warm here." She sighed in attempt to kick the covers away.

"No, leave them there." Brittany argued, helping her to sit up a little to give her the pills.

"Okay, baby, try to sleep. Wake me up if you need something or if you are feeling any worse. Okay?" She said, crawling under the covers.

"Hm." She heared her weak voice. "Love you."

"I love you too, Sanny." She replied, smiling before tiredness took over her.
