Chapter 5. Sick Day
Jenna woke up the next morning feeling very warm but...not from Balto.
A few moments later Balto woke up he looked at his girlfriend and smiled.
"Good morning Jen." Balto said.
"Good *cough* morning *cough* Balto." Jenna said followed by a few coughs
"Jenna are you okay?" Balto asked concerned about Jenna's coughing.
"Oh I'm fine its just..." Jenna started but she didn't finish because she let the most sickening nastiest cough that Balto had ever heard in his life.
This made Balto concerned about Jenna's health.
"Jenna are you sure you're okay?" Balto asked her again.
"Balto I don't *cough* feel so well." Jenna said.
Balto placed a paw on Jenna's forehead he was shocked by how hot it felt.
"Jenna you're sick you need to stay in bed." Balto said.
Jenna nodded as Balto got up and tucked her in.
"There now Jenna do want me to get you anything?" Balto asked.
"Can you get me some soup at least and a glass of water." Jenna replied
"Alright then I'll get on it right but for you get some rest." Balto said.
Jenna nodded before laying her head down to get some rest.
Balto then immediately got to work he was able to get Jenna some soup and he fixed her a glass of water.
Once Balto was done he served Jenna her soup and her glass of water.
Jenna ate her soup and drank her glass of water.
"Thank you Balto." Jenna said.
Balto smiled and he nuzzled Jenna.
"Your welcome Jenna are you feeling better now?" Balto asked.
"Not really my fever is getting worse." Jenna said.
Balto placed a paw on Jenna's forehead it was a lot warmer than it was before.
"My god a fever like this is gonna some medicine." Balto said.
Jenna couldn't help herself and she giggled at Balto's comment.
"Okay Jenna I'm gonna go to town and find some medicine for your fever stay here and get some rest I'll be back shortly." Balto said.
"But what about Elizabeth and Steele what if you bump into them?" Jenna asked.
Balto chuckled and he nuzzled Jenna tenderly.
"Don't worry about me Jen I can handle myself now get some sleep alright I love you." Balto said.
"I love you too Balto be careful." Jenna said before she rested her head down and she closed her eyes to go to sleep.
Balto then gave Jenna a little kiss on the cheek.
Balto then walked down the ramp of his boat unaware that he was being watched by a pair of eyes.
A few moments later...
Balto ran into Elizabeth on his way to get the medicine, "Great, here we go again." Balto thought to himself
"And just where are you going, mutt?" Elizabeth asked, getting in Balto's face
"None of your buisness." Balto said, walking away from Elizabeth, who whistled as if giving a signal
Steele jumped out and tackled Balto, "Hello there Bingo, and just where are you going?" Steele asked
"None of your business Steele, now get off of me!" Balto said, trying to wiggle his way out
"Oh no you don't!" Steele said, putting his foot on Balto's lower area, "Now, again, where are you going?" Steele asked, increasingly putting pressure on his crotch.
"I'm going to get medicine for Jenna, okay?! Now could you get your foot off my crotch!" Balto shouted in pain
"Aww is the poor puppy sick? Makes my job easier!" Steele said hastily, letting off Balto's area
"So you and Jenna are dating now eh?" Elizabeth asked, "Well we can't have that now can we Steele?" Elizabeth said pulling out a knife
"Indeed we can't Elizabeth." Steele said evilly.
Steele ran at Balto again, but missed and ran into a trash can again
"Whew, should I run or just deal with it now, I'm going for it!" Balto said to himself, standing up and bared his teeth at Elizabeth.
"Do you honestly think you can stand up against me? I have a weapon!" Elizabeth said.
Doesn't matter to me, just forget the knife is there and just tackle her and disarm her! Balto thought to himself, running towards Elizabeth
Elizabeth slashed the knife, Balto avoided and bit her leg, causing her to throw the knife and fall to the ground. "CRAP!" Elizabeth shouted in pain
"That's what she gets, now I don't have to worry about that anymore, and I can go get the medicine!" Balto said to himself.
Elizabeth spoke, "Hey mutt! Be prepared for a rude awakening tomorrow! I'd forget Jenna if i were you!" Elizabeth snarled.
"Not going to happen, I'm just going to get the medicine and go home to Jenna." Balto growled, walking away.
"Ugh..." Elizabeth fell unconscious on the ground and Balto went to go get the medicine.
One hour later...
Balto walked back home with the medicine he needed for to cure Jenna's fever, Balto was concerned about what Elizabeth told him what did she mean by "Rude Awakening"?
Were Steele and Elizabeth going to kill Jenna? Who knew but for now Balto will need to focus on getting the medicine to Jenna.
Balto arrived back at the boat with the medicine Balto walked up the ramp of his boat and walked into the wheelhouse Jenna was sound asleep.
Balto smiled as he listen to her deep breath and he then smacked out of it and he shook Jenna.
"Jenna wake up." Balto said as he shook his girlfriend awake.
Jenna woke up with a yawn and she looked at her boyfriend.
"Balto what is it?" Jenna asked.
"Jenna I've got the medicine." Balto replied.
"Well about time." Jenna said.
Balto chuckled and he poured the medicine into a small bowl.
Jenna then drank the medicine from the bowl.
"Now Jenna the medicine could take a while before it can take affect on your fever." Balto explained.
Jenna nodded.
Balto then laid down next to Jenna who curled up and rested her head on Balto's front paws.
"Balto you look so worried what's wrong are you okay?" Jenna asked.
Balto didn't want mention his run-in on Elizabeth and Steele because he didn't want to scare her but he told her other wise.
"Jenna while I was on my way to get the medicine I ran into Elizabeth and Steele." Balto explained.
Jenna gasped in horror.
"You got into a fight with Elizabeth and Steele are you hurt?" Jenna asked.
"Steele kicked me in the crotch but aside from that I'm fine." Balto replied.
Jenna the signaled Balto to continue.
"I manage to take both Steele and Elizabeth down and Elizabeth then told me that tomorrow me and you we're gonna have to face a rude awakening tomorrow." Balto explained.
Jenna then grew scared.
"Balto what are we gonna do?" Jenna asked.
"Don't worry Jenna if Steele and Elizabeth lay one single paw on you I'll make sure they'll burn in heck." Balto said.
"Balto whatever their planning to do please promise me that you'll protect me from it." Jenna begged.
"I promise." Balto said.
Jenna smiled and she nuzzled Balto.
"Thank you." Jenna said.
Jenna then curled up again as Balto held her tightly to his chest and she closed her eyes to go to sleep.
"Goodnight Balto, I love you." Jenna said as she closed her eyes.
"I love you too Jenna goodnight." Balto said.
Jenna then fell asleep in her boyfriend's tight embrace.
