The next morning Melissa got up early as she had to work a morning shift she had figured that Ethan would be somewhat better by then due to him being a werewolf. She also figured that the rest of the pack would be around as well, she definitely knew that Aiden would make sure Ethan was ok and she also know that Scott would get in touch with her if anything happened to him.
She knew all the boys upstairs were sleeping but she just wanted t double check with the twins as she knew sometimes they would get up early on Saturdays, but she figured that they wouldn't as Ethan had gone to bed early last night. As she approached their room she heard a small whimper followed by a growl. She wasn't sure which one had growled but she recognised the whimper she'd heard them a couple of times when Ethan had been napping the last couple of days. She then heard another growl that sounded like Aiden had said "Ethan relax."
She opened the door and saw Ethan lying on his belly with the blankets just below his bare shoulders; he was looking at his brother Aiden who was talking softly to him and rubbing his back. She went over to him and said "Aiden is he ok?"
Aiden looked over her and said "yeah he just had a little nightmare. He'll be fine he's just going back to sleep now."
Melissa then whispered to him that she was heading to work but she left a note with instructions for Ethan's meds and said "don't worry if he doesn't want to take the pain meds ok. He says they just make him sleepy and he doesn't really like it too much."
Aiden looked at her and said "yeah strong pain killers mess with him that way. Like when he takes his one for migraines he needs to lie down for a little while."
Melissa then said "how is he for those I know back after Mike got bitten we talked about getting him some more, but I had completely forgotten about until you mentioned it."
Aiden then said as he was still rubbing his brothers back "yeah I think it's because he's afraid to get an MRI. He doesn't really like enclosed spaces much. He's not as bad as Isaac is tough."
Melissa then said "I'll see if I can talk to someone about it today and if he does need one I'll have you there and anyone else he wants."
Aiden then said "can you watch him for a minute well I use the bathroom?"
Melissa nodded as Aiden walked off to the bathroom. Well he was gone Ethan stirred a little and Melissa rubbed his back and said "just relax your safe ok"
Ethan mumbled "thanks pack mom," which brought a smile to Melisa's face as Aiden came over and got back into bed. He looked at her and said "is he ok?"
Melissa replied "I think so he kind of moved around trying to get comfortable so I just rubbed his back as it looked really tense."
Aiden said "thanks I think I'll go back to sleep unless anyone else is up."
Melissa said "nope just me right now."
Aiden replied as he rolled over in bed and pulled himself close to Ethan who whimpered for a second. He then opened his eyes and started looking for something. Aiden realised that he wanted his stuffed wolf from Danny, and was looking for it too well trying to help him relax. Aiden said "to him just relax Eth your ok, will find your stuffed wolf ok." As Aiden said this he thought in the back of his mind "man I hate when he's like this why couldn't I have a normal twin who wasn't like this when he was sick?"
Melisa was just about to leave the room when she heard what was going on she ended up finding it on the floor she figured Ethan must have dropped it or knocked it out of the bed at some point. He warped one arm around it and said "thanks mom" and then closed his eyes and murmured for Aiden to cuddle him.
Aiden looked at his brother and said "sure thing bro, just remember your always safe in my arms ok."
Ethan replied sleepily with a yawn "thank Aid, as he closed his eyes and drifted back to sleep. Melissa then pulled the blankets up over their shoulders and both of them said together "thanks mom.
