The next morning, Chloe came down and noticed that the turtles were under the blanket holding each other and shivering. She felt their foreheads and they were really hot.
"We need to get you into cool water," Chloe told the turtles. "Two of you can use the tub down here and the other two can use the one upstairs."
"Donny, why don't you and Mikey take the one down here?" Leo suggested.
"Sure, Leo," Donny replied.
"I'll get the bath ready down here first and then I'll do the upstairs one," Chloe said and the turtles nodded in agreement.
Mikey and Donny slowly got up and followed Chloe to the bathroom. She filled the tub with cool water and had Mikey and Donny get in which they did. The two of them snuggled up together. After making sure they were fine, Chloe left the bathroom.
Leo and Raph were in the tub upstairs. Chloe had filled the tub with cool water, made sure they were fine, and left the bathroom.
"Where did Chloe go?" Raph asked.
"Mikey and Donny are in the other bathtub and Chloe can't be in two places at once," Leo said.
"That makes sense."
"Right now I want to get better."
Raph nodded in agreement and put an arm around Leo. The two of them snuggled up together.
A little later, the turtles were on the air mattress under a blanket and Chloe was checking to see how high their fevers were. It turned out their fevers had gone back up to 104°F.
Chloe left the room and came back with cold washcloths. She put them on the turtles' foreheads and made sure they were covered with the blanket. The turtles slowly fell asleep. Chloe headed for the kitchen to make more chicken soup and peppermint tea.
Chloe peeked into the living room and saw that the turtles were snuggled up together and sleeping. She decided to put the tea and soup in the fridge and heat them up when they were awake.
The turtles were eating the chicken soup and peppermint tea that Chloe had just reheated for them. After Chloe cleared the dishes and left the room, the turtles went back to sleep.
Chloe headed for her room, got into her bed for a nap, and fell asleep. A couple hours later, she decided to go see how the turtles were doing.
She entered the living room and found the turtles still sleeping. They woke up a few seconds later.
Chloe felt the turtles' foreheads and noticed they were still hot but not as hot as they were that morning. She checked to see if their fevers had gone down and it turned out each of them had a 102°F fever.
"You should stay in bed for a while longer," Chloe told the turtles. "If you need me, I'm going to check on the cats and then I'm going to bed. Any of you need anything right now?"
The turtles shook their heads. Chloe tucked them in and walked away.
The turtles snuggled up together and fell asleep. They slept peacefully through the night.
