A/n: I just couldn't resist! Plus, it's technically tomorrow, so here's another one :)
"Someone has a fever." Thomas concluded as he felt Maci's forehead for what had to be the hundredth time today.
About a week ago Kaci had begun to come down with something, probably some bug going around the school. It wasn't anything serious, but they had allowed her to stay home for the past two days when her fever seemed to really pick up. And now it seemed as though her sister has caught it too.
"So I can't go to school?" Maci asked. Now usually, this would make Thomas second guess the situation. Usually when a child pretends to be sick, that's the first question they ask. But today was different. Maci's temperature was starting to get pretty high, and she didn't sound as if missing school was the best thing in the world.
"Why, did you wanna go?" Thomas asked.
Maci nodded her head. "Today our class was gonna throw a party." she says, her voice rough and raspy. "We've been really good and we gained enough points in the class last week, so we had scheduled it for today." she said.
Thomas smiled. Fourth grade was probably one of his favorites. "Well, how about when you feel better, we'll order a pizza, and we can all sit in the living room and watch a movie together."
Maci smiled. "Okay Dad. How's Kaci feeling?"
Thomas' smile seemed to falter a bit. "She's getting there. I should probably go check on her. You get some sleep." he said, making sure she was tucked in tight.
"Okay Dad." she said with a yawn, before closing her eyes.
Thomas exited out her room, leaving the door open a bit, before proceeding down the hallway to where Kaci's room is located. "How is she doing?" Thomas asked, as he stood next to Minho.
"She just fell back asleep." he says, "Her temperature is starting to go down, but it's still up there." he says, sounding worried.
"Did you give her the medicine the doctor prescribed?" Thomas asked.
"Yeah. How's Maci?"
"Not as bad." Thomas said. "Still has a sore throat and a headache."
"We should let them sleep." Minho says, guiding his husband out of Kaci's room, closing the door slightly behind them.
Over the next couple of hours, the two check in with each of the children. Maci seems to be doing somewhat better, her temperature was slightly higher than usual but still okay. Her sore throat has went down quite a bit, and she said she didn't have a headache anymore. Kaci on the other hand, still had a stuffy nose and was coughing, but her temperature was finally starting to even out. Thomas worried if it had got any higher they would have to take her back to the hospital.
"Who wants soup?" Minho asked, a cheery smile on his face.
"Ooh, I do!" Maci said, with her usual head nod. "Chicken Noodle?"
"Is there any other kind?" Minho asked, placing a steaming bowl of soup in front of her, with crackers on the side.
"What about me?" Kaci asked, starting to sound a lot more like herself than before.
"You get creamy tomato soup." Thomas says, giving her a bowl. "And a grilled cheese sandwich of course."
"Yum!"
"I've got tea!" Minho says, bringing over four mugs for everyone to drink out of. "But be careful, everything is really hot!"
"Okay Daddy." both girls reply. Soon enough, everyone is sitting around the kitchen table, enjoying a family lunch together.
"Are they sleep?" Thomas asked.
"Yeah, I finally got Kaci to get back in bed." Minho said, sounding exasperated. "She's feeling a lot better now. I think she should stay home another day, but I think she'll be okay."
"Maci?" Thomas asked.
Minho rolled his eyes. "Maci's a drama queen."
Thomas snickered. "She gets it from you."
Minho couldn't help but to laugh at that. "She's feeling a lot better too. Says the soup really helps."
Thomas smiled. "Doesn't it always?"
Minho was just about to reply, when he abruptly halted to let out a sneeze.
Thomas sighed in defeat. "Here we go again…"
