A/N: How would you all feel about me adding a story that's just a few drabbles and One shots from this story?
The week had come and gone and Jessie was sitting on the couch hoping that Rachel would wake up before he left so that he could say goodbye, he came to adore her little side almost like a little sister he always wanted to keep her safe and out of harm's way. Unfortunately she was still fast asleep in the nursery, and judging from the four times she woke up crying last night plus the coughing fits he assumed that she was getting sick and he was worried. Shelby was just coming up the stairs with a load of laundry.
"Hey, Shelby? Rachel feeling okay?" he questioned.
Shelby sat the laundry basket on the piano bench in the living room and took a seat next to Jesse on the couch and leaned back as she let out an exhausted sigh.
"oh I don't think so , she was up all night last night and she felt like she was getting a fever I'll probably make an appointment with pediatrician today and see what's up." She said.
Just then a car horn sounded outside, Jesse got off the couch and Shelby led him to the door.
"Well I hope Rachie gets better ," he said as he exited the house and hugged her.
Shelby waved from the porch and went back into the house and picked up the phone, and dialed the number of the doctor's office and made an appointment for later that day. After getting off the phone with the doctor Shelby went to get Rachel, she hated having to wake her up and preferred letting her wake up on her own but her sleep schedule was off as it was and she needed to check on her anyway. Shelby entered the room and walked over to the crib she looked down at her baby, she looked miserable her hair stuck her face with sweat and she was very pale.
"Rachie," she cooed as she rubbed the girls tummy. "Come on honey you need to wake up sweetheart it's time for your ba-ba," she continued until Rachel's eyes flittered open and looked up at her mother.
"Mommy," She whined as Shelby picked her up and bounced her on her hip. "I no feel good," she laid her head on Shelby's shoulder.
"I know baby," Shelby sympathized as she stroked Rachel's hair. "We're gonna go see Dr. Woods, today"
Shelby took Rachel over to the changing table and changed her out of her sleeper into a purple onsie she felt warm so she just left the pink cargo pants off. Shelby carried Rachel down to living room and sat her on the couch and went to make her bottle. Shelby returned with the bottle and settled Rachel on her lap before putting the nipple to her lips. Rachel wasn't even halfway done with her bottle when she started to fuss and spit the nipple along with some of the milk.
"What's the matter baby," Shelby said as she wiped Rachel's mouth.
"I no want anymore Baba," Rachel cried.
Shelby put the bottle aside, pulled her baby close and rocked her until they left for the doctor. Before leaving Shelby grabbed the bottle off the in table by the couch.
Once they arrived at the doctor's office Shelby checked in and they sat and waited in the waiting room. The room was crawling with children from 6 months all the way up through their teens. But Rachel just hung close to Shelby and nobody seemed to take notice. When the doctor finally came out and called Rachel's name. She whined and became twice as fussy.
"C'mon baby it's our turn," Shelby said helping the girl to her feet and leading her to the doctor.
The doctor checked Rachel's temperature and blood pressure and asked Shelby about her symptoms. The whole time Rachel hid her face In the crook of Shelby's arm
"Well she just has a case of the flu keep her hydrated give her some Tylenol and she should be better with in a few weeks," Doctor woods said shacking Shelby's hand. Shelby smiled before looking down at Rachel.
"Can you tell Dr. Wood's goodbye Rach?" Shelby cooed. Rachel looked up bleakly and waved quickly before hiding in Shelby's side.
"I see you found a solution to that bladder control problem you told me about." Doctor Wood's said, noticing the bulged on Rachel's bottom
