I don't own Big Time Rush
Mrs. Knight sat on the couch with Kendall who lay in her lap; well he kinda passed out from exhaustion after he puked. She didn't mind if her son lay in her lap she liked it actually it remaindered her of the old time when Kendall was 4 or 5 and he would let her baby him but now he is older and hates it.
Mrs. Knight had just left a sick Kendall to go wake up Katie for school.
"Katie, honey get up" Mrs. Knight said as she sat on the edge of her bed rubbing her back.
"Where's Kendall?" Katie asked. Kendall normally woke her up unless he wasn't going to school, but why wouldn't Kendall go to school? She thought to herself.
"He's still sleeping on the couch" Mrs. Knight said softly knowing she was use to Kendall waking her up in the morning
Katie ran out of them room looking for Kendall ready to wake him up. Mrs. Knight forgot they had this little game where the one who sleeps in late gets jumped on by the other and Katie had a head start to the living room.
"Katie" Mrs. Knight whispered loudly but her daughter ignored her and jumped on Kendall which resulted as Kendall waking up and coughing. Katie didn't get what was going to so she started yelling at him to get up. But Kendall had no response; instead he coughed into his pillow while Katie jumped on his back only making it worse.
"Katie, get off of him" Mrs. Knight scolded her for waking Kendall up. She rubbed Kendall's back until the coughs subsided.
"Why?" She asked softly wanting to know why did she just get yelled at for something they always did to each other, and what was wrong with her big brother, she was only 8 and she loved her brother to death, she would die if something bad happened to him.
"He sick so please keep the noise level down" Mrs. Knight said as she spoke to her daughter sadness was in her voice.
"What do you mean sick?" She asked.
Mrs. Knight let out a chuckle at all the questions Katie had for her big brother and making sure he was OK. "He's just been puking all night long, I have to still get his symptoms from him but I think it's just the flu" Mrs. Knight said getting off of Katie's bed and followed her in the living room.
Katie looked over at Kendall again and saw that he looked tired, his green eyes were closing. "I'm sorry" She choked out as she rushed over to Kendall giving him a kiss on the nose.
"It's OK baby sis" He whispered out, his voice sounded rough and it hurt to talk but he saw the sad look in her eyes and felt bad. He reached out and wrapped her into a hug. He muffled out a cough in her hair.
"Kendall, why don't you go back to sleep" Mrs. Knight said as she heard Kendal's coughing and it didn't sound too good.
Kendall shook his head no. "Gotta coach the team, and walk Katie to school" he muffled out as he swung his legs over the side of the couch and standing up, slightly swaying.
"Kendall, sweetie lay down. You're sick and you need to rest" Mrs. Knight said softly as she pushed Kendall back down on the couch so he was sitting down, but Kendall was choosing to be stubborn today.
"No, I gotta" He said as he used all his strength to stand back up, but this time he almost fell if his mother hadn't been there he would have been face down on the floor but lucky his she caught him when he stumbled.
"Sweetie, please lay down you can hardly stand, I will be driving Katie to school and I will call the coach so you don't need to worry. OK?" She said as she supported her son.
Kendall coughed harshly into his fist while his mother rubbed his back and eased him back down on the couch. Kendall nodded his head and laid his head back down on the pillow that his mother had put out for him to lay down.
"OK honey I will be home in about 20 minutes" Mrs. Knight said softly before Kendall fell asleep again.
Katie finished getting ready for school, she then grabbed all the money she has been saving in her piggy bank and brought it out to the car where Mrs. Knight was waiting for her.
"Mom can we go shopping?" Katie asked as she started to count her money, she had about 50 bucks from her birthday.
Mrs. Knight never expected to hear those words come out of her daughter's mouth; she always hated shopping and would do anything to get out of it. "Why?" Mrs. Knight asked as she pulled out of the drive way.
"I wanna get Kendall something special for Christmas, it's only 3 days until its Christmas and I want to get him something special." Katie said as a sweet voice.
"Sure we can go after school, but I have to get the guys to come and watch Kendall for a bit them, OK?" She said as she pulled up to Katie's school.
Katie nodded her head furiously and hopped out of the car and waved to her mom who made her way back home. When she entered the house she wished she would have seen Kendall sleeping peacefully like when she left the house but instead his head was hanging over the bucket she had left out for him just in case and he was finishing emptying his stomach out in the garbage.
"Kendall" she cried out as she rushed over to his side and rubbed his back until he had stopped heaving. He slumped heavily into her side and let exhaustion set in. Mrs. Knight grabbed a towel and wiped his face clean, getting the extra puke off of his face.
"Mom, can I have some medicine?" Kendall asked softly as he looked at her with his bright fevered eyes. A couple of tears had fallen down, and Mrs. Knight wiped them away as she got up leaving Kendall on the couch and grabbing the medicine from his room.
"Here" Mrs. Knight said as she handed him some fever reducers, along with ibuprofen to help his other symptoms.
Kendall let out a harsh cough and swallowed the pills, leaning back into his mother's embrace glad that no one else was here to see his weak moment, but right now he could care less he felt like crap.
"Kendall, I think I am gonna make a doctor appointment for you" Mrs. Knight said as she stroked Kendall's matted hair off of his sweaty forehead.
Kendall shook his head disagreeing with her idea, he hated doctors there was no specific reason why but he just hated them. "No" He mumbled.
"Kendall you are sick, and I want you to be getting better not worse" Mrs. Knight said knowing that Kendall would feel like crap on Christmas day if he didn't go and get checked out by a doctor.
"Mom, I don't want to go" Kendall said sternly not caring if he was sick on Christmas even though when the day would come he would regret it and hate himself for not getting Katie a present yet, or even his mom or friends.
"Kendall I will not watch you puke your guts out, I want you to go. It will be in your best interest to go." Mrs. Knight said getting irritated by Kendall's stubbornness. Yes she loved him dearly but living with someone this stubborn is hard.
"How about you take me shopping for Katie and the guys and we can go after" Kendall said making a deal. He wasn't really up for Christmas shopping but it had to get done when he was feeling somewhat decent because from here on out it would go downhill for a while.
"Fine, but no arguing with the doctor or me, you can't fight me when it is time to go and if you look, act or seem too go shopping I will do the shopping for you after we go to the doctor" Mrs. Knight said as purposed her side of the argument.
"Thanks mom, you're the best mom ever" Kendall said as he hugged her with one arm and slowly sat up.
"Yea I don't think so" She said as she helped Kendall stand up and gave him a kiss on the jaw before he wobbled out to his room to get changed.
Kendall came out a few minutes later wearing all hockey stuff, hockey sweat pants, shirt, sweat shirt, hat. Mrs. Knight let out a chuckle when she saw how much hockey stuff he had collected over the years and it was a lot.
"OK mom I'm ready" Kendall whispered out as he came over and stood by the door.
"You are not leaving this house without a jacket" Mrs. Knight said handing him his winter jacket.
Kendall shook his head mumbling something under his breath as he slipped on the warm jacket. "Better?" He asked.
"Much, now we can leave" She said as she opened the door and watched Kendall slowly making his way over to the car almost falling twice. "Be careful honey" Mrs. Knight said as she watched Kendall catch himself of the hood of the car.
Kendall felt like crap driving to the store, his head pounded, his stomach was in knots, he was shivering uncontrollably and his mom had the head on full blast and it was pointing at him, his lungs ached with each breath he drew in, and worst of all he had the urge to hurl all over the car but he knew he had to wait until the shopping was done.
Mrs. Knight pulled up into town and they both got out of the car, Kendall went into a harsh coughing fit which lasted almost 5 minutes people on the streets were giving him worried looks. "Kendall, are you sure you're up to this?" Mrs. Knight asked her son when he regained his breath again.
Kendall nodded his head and headed into the store, it had everything, from toys, to books, to sports, and well really everything that he needed he could get at this store.
Kendall headed off to the toys looking for Carlos and then settling on some action figures and a new video game he has been dying to get. He then went on looking for James; grabbing him a new mirror since Carlos broke the last one doing his last stunt, and a new comb since Kendall and Carlos took the other one to prank James but forgetting where they left it, it was kind of a classic for them
Kendall was getting really tired and his mom was noticing that when he was leaning against her for support when he looked at the shelves or how he squinted his eyes to read what the box said, but his brain was in pain and could barely make out the words so she read it to him. "Kendall, I can get the rest, do you want to go back to the car and wait?" She asked rubbing his back as he coughed into her shoulder.
Kendall shook his head and walked up to some stickers and picked some out for Carlos. "Just gotta do Logan, Katie, and you" He mumbled as he walked over to where the books were.
"Kendall, I don't want you to overdo it, remember" She said as she stroked his hair as he sat down and placed his aching head in his hands.
"I know but I'm almost done, please let me finish" He pleaded as he looked up at her.
"Fine" She said giving into his request.
"Thank you mama" He said as he gave her a kiss and looked at some books, but started to rub his temple when it was beginning to be too much.
"How about I pick out a book for Logan while you do the rest?" Mrs. Knight suggested after giving Kendall a concerned looked.
Kendall nodded his head and stood up and walked off to find her present. He had picked out a scarf that she had been wanting and a picture frame to put the pictures he had saved over the summer. He then went to look for Katie; he wanted to get the best thing he could find for here. He then spotted some big stuffed animals. He picked the biggest teddy bear off the shelf and made his was over to the fabric place. He wanted to make his mom and Katie a blanket hoping that they would love it.
Kendall picked out some fabric then bought the fabric and his mom's present before she could see it. Kendall was beginning to feel extremely ill and wanting to lie down any moment. He found his mom who was waiting for him. She noticed the look on his face and gave him a sad smile.
"Done" He said as he rested his head on top of hers, h was kind of glad that he was taller than her she made a great place to lay your head down.
"OK let's check out and head to the" She said softly as she placed the items on the counter for the lady to ring up.
"OK the total is one hundred and forty dollars and forty cents" The lady said. Kendall pulled out his money and handed it to her; he had made at least 400 bucks because working triple shifts at the market and walking dogs when he had spare time. "Thank you and happy holidays" She said.
"Mom, I don't feel so good" Kendall mumbled out as he puked on the side walk.
"Oh honey" She said softly rubbing his back ignoring the stares they got from people that walked passed them. "You're burning up" She said softly as she removed her hand from her forehead. "Come on lets go to the doctors" She said as she lead Kendall back to the car.
The car ride was silent, a few coughs came out from Kendall otherwise Mrs. Knight focused on the slippery road while Kendall tried to keep his food down.
"Were here" Mrs. Knight said as she stood up and walked over to Kendall's side and opened the door and helped him up and led him into the building.
Mrs. Knight had Kendall sit down in the waiting room as she scheduled the appointment. "OK It will be about 5 to 10 minutes" The lady said behind the desk. Mrs. Knight nodded and came over and sat back down by Kendall who looked like he was dozing off. He rested his head on her shoulder and got comfy next to her and fell asleep.
"Kendall Knight?" A nurse asked as she came out and called for them.
Mrs. Knight had woken Kendall up and she had lopped his arm over her neck and pulled him up so he was standing. They slowly made their over to the nurse; she looked really nice she looked like she was in her late 40's long blond hair and the same height as Mrs. Knight.
After the nurse had taken Kendall's weight and height she had brought them in the room. She then took his temperature which was 104.8 which was not good. She then took his blood pressure and asked him questions where he answered with a one word or a nod.
She then left the room and his doctor them came in a few moments later.
"So Kendall I hear you're a little under the weather" the doctor said as he gave him a sympathetic look. He had known this boy since he was a little boy, and he knew he hated the doctors so he tried to make it fast and easy.
Kendall only looked at him with his fevered eyes, showing no attempt to talk to him not because he was afraid because he was so tired and just wanted to sleep. Mrs. Knight had picked up on Kendall's vibe and started talking for him.
"So what seems to be his symptoms? He asked as he looked at Mrs. Knight for the answer knowing Kendall looked too tired to answer, he was barely sitting up on his own.
"Well he has been coughing a lot and it doesn't sound good, tired, vomiting, shivering uncontrollably, headache, fever over 104, stomach cramps, sore throat, he doesn't say much" Mrs. Knight said as she rubbed Kendall's shoulder.
"Kendall son, how do you feel?" He asked Kendall looking directly at him and waiting for an answer.
Kendall let out a sigh and started to talk his voice was barely audible. "Headache chills, achy, tied, throat kinda hurts, hard to get a good breath and my lungs kinda hurt a little" Kendall mumbled out not bothering to look at the doctor.
"OK well with his symptoms it sounds more like pneumonia instead of the flu, but it could be both. I just have to listen to that cough and breathing and maybe take some blood" The doctor said getting up patting the bed so Kendall would come and sit on it.
Kendall pushed himself up and wobbled over to him.
"OK Kendall can you take a deep breathe?" He asked when he pulled out his stethoscope and pressed it against Kendall's warm skin sending a chill down his spine.
Kendall took in a deep breath but ended up whimpering out in pain after his 3rd deep breath, he couldn't take the pain any more.
"OK we will take some x-rays instead because it looks like it is painful when your son takes in a deep breath" the doctor said as he looked at Kendall pale face and saw the pain.
The doctor finished his check up and concluded that Kendall did have the flu and had a good chance of pneumonia, they took x- rays and looked at them and sure enough he had pneumonia, the doctor prescribed medication and plenty of rest.
The doctor bid Kendall and Mrs. Knight a farewell.
Mrs. Knight took Kendall back home and brought him into her room again since the sheets were on and they were nice and warm, she gave him the medication and he was soon out like a light.
