The next day Elliot woke to Mai breathing really harshly and thrashing back and forth. Not only that, but her face was flushed bright red.

As soon as Elliot saw that he felt her forehead to find that it was really warm; Mai had a fever.

About a minute later he went to go find a thermometer to find out what her temperature really was.

When he found out what her temperature was he took her to Wesley right away.

"Wesley!" Elliot yelled carrying Mai down the basement stairs.

"What is it Elliot? What's wrong?" Wesley asked worried as he heard the worry in Elliot's voice

"It's Mai; I think she has a fever." Elliot said as he gently laid Mai on the table.

"Well let's take a look see." Wesley said as he examined Mai and took her temperature.

Indeed she had a fever of 101.5.

"She does indeed have a fever so I'd keep her in the house. She'll be fine with rest and plenty of fluids." Wesley said.

"Yeah, I'll do that. Thanks Wes." Elliot said as he carried Mai to bed.

As he was walking upstairs Zoey came out of the guest room.

"What happened? What's wrong with Mai?" Zoey asked.

"She's fine; she just has a fever is all." Elliot said as she opened his door for him.

"Oh, ok. Hopefully she gets well soon. But hey, I'd love to stay but I have to go help mom and dad with something. I'll be back for my shift. See you later." Zoey said quietly as not to wake up Mai and slipped out.

"Ok, see you then." Elliot said as he laid Mai down on the bed.

"Da-daddy?" Mai asked quietly.

"Shhh…Go back to sleep baby." Elliot cooed softly as he rubbed her forehead.

"O-ok." Mai said quietly falling back to sleep.

"Don't worry I won't leave you, I promise." Elliot said as he sat by her side.

About an hour later Elliot fell asleep, his arm around Mai's waist protecting her.

Wesley came in not but a few minutes later to check up on them. When he saw them he put an extra blanket over Elliot.

A few hours later around Noonish Elliot woke up and Mai was freezing…

Well there you go.

What'cha think?
