Jade POV

"Well, I liked it" Tori says when the edits appear on the screen.

"Seriously Tori? The movie was two hours long and you were pratically straddling me with your face hiding in the crock of my neck for… let's say… one hour and 59 minutes?"

"And I really enjoyed it" She smirks and then kisses me. She gets up from me and glances at her phone while she goes in the kitchen.

"Hey, it's 16:45. Go and wake up your sister or she will never go to bed tonight"

"On my way" I don't want to have to deal with her all night. Last time she didn't want to sleep because she thought that sleeping would be boring. Who would ever refuse to sleep because it's boring! I don't wanna think what could happen if she oversleeps during her nap.

So, I gently push Blade off me, yeah, my lap was full during this movie, and walk toward Emmie's room. She is peacefully sleeping with Scissor at her feet. Good cat: always watching out for her.

"Baby, wake up!" a growling it's what I receive back.

"Come on! Don't you want a snack?"

"No" her voice comes feeble and miserable, so I start to brush her hair away from her face with my fingers and…she is burning! "I don't feel good"

"Yeah, I've noticed. Come here. Let's get you down and find the thermometer" I pick her up and wrap a blanket around her sweaty body.

"Tori! Where is the thermometer?" I yell as I go downstairs, but I quickly change my tone of voice a soon as I ear Emmie make a protesting noise.

"In the cabinet in the bathroom, why? What's wrong?" she asks coming to the stairs.

"Can you please go and bring it back here? She is very hot" I motion to the once again sleeping girl in my arms "I'll lay her down on the couch"

As soon as she I settled, Scissor jumps on the couch too, snuggling at her feet and meowing at me.

"Yeah, I've seen, I'm taking care of it" I say petting her.

Tori comes back and starts to re-wake Emerald up: "Emmie, wake up baby girl"

"I'm tired…I don't feel good"

"We know baby, but we need to see if you have a fever. Can you sit up, just a little bit for us?" I try.

"Can't I just sleep please? I'm really really tired". She doesn't even open her eyes. Now I'm seriously worried. What should we do? I don't know!

"Ok, how about this" Tori says picking her up. She sits on the couch and sit Emerald on her lap. Her eyes are still closed, but at least she is sitting up. "See? All good. Ok, now let's try this. Open up baby".

She leans her head on Tori shoulder and accepts the device in her mouth. Oh, 'mama bear Tori' on her duty; I love this side of her. Now we have to wait, so I stand up and sits beside them on the couch and start petting Scissor, as a tide of horrible scenarios is making its way in my head.

Tori POV

Bip-bip Bip-bip

"finally!" Jade growl. Ok we waited at most for two minutes, but honestly, I'm starting to panic too. Yes, Emerald has been ill sometimes in the past, but you could always see the special sparks in her eyes… and now they are closed.

"Oh, gosh!"

"What what what what?" this can't be good, this cannot be good in any way. "How high it is?"

"106" oh my. Ok this is bad. And look at J! She seems like she's going to be sick. Fine, cool yourself Tori, this is something that you both can handle, yes? No. Not no! Yes, right? Yes. Ok.

"J, look at me. Call the doctor and tell her everything. Then we'll do what she'll say." She nods and starts the call.

"Baby, are you awake?"

"Mmh-mmh" well, that's a start. "Tell Tor-Tor, are you feeling pain or are you only tired?"

"Pain" comes the whispers. "Where does it hurt honey?"

"Head…kiss it all better?" My poor innocent baby sister in love. I gently kiss her temple, if only I could more and take her pain away…oh! Here comes Jade. "So?"

"She said to give her some Tylenol and to control her temperature: if it comes down, we continue with the Tylenol; if she doesn't get better, tomorrow we'll bring Emmie to her; if it becomes higher we go to the hospital right away. Oh, and she can sleep" Yeah, that's a pity. I have her on my lap now. You see, when Emerald is ill she becomes a little clingy. Don't get me wrong I love cuddling with her but if she is sick and you have her on your person, you will never, ever put her away (just saying, now her hands are attached in closed fists at my shirt collar).

"Well what do you recommend?" I ask Jade motioning to my actual situation

"What if we give her the medicine and then you lay down here with her on top of you while I start dinner, sounds good?"

"Sounds perfect" She prepares the Tylenol, so I take the child Smart choice Jade, well played. "Hey Emmie! Are you still awake cupcake?" She nods. "Good. Now, I know you don't like it, but you have to take the medicine. It'll help you. But you have to sit straight and open your eyes for me, just one second, ok?"

"…K" Wow, that was easy. She takes it all without pausing a minute. She must feel horrible. I check on her and she seems to be out again so I look at a paler than usual Jade:

"You know I love you, right?" I kiss her before laying down.

"I know, but I don't mind hear that again and again and again" and with that she goes in the kitchen.

"T…or-…or?" Oh, poor thing

"Yes, baby? I'm here"

"don't leave…me. Ok?"

"Don't worry kiddo, I've got you. You're stuck with me for a looong time". I say rubbing her back.
