In Sickness and in Health
Gently, Sara pushed open Prince Gil's room. Once inside, she saw the doctor examining Prince Gil. Sara cleared her throat and the doctor looked at her.
The doctor introduced himself and shook Sara's hand. "Hello, you must be the one assigned to take care of this young prince…am I correct?"
"Yes. You are. I'm Sara, Prince Gil's personal maid."
"I'm Albert Robbins. You can call me Doc since most people call me Doc."
"Nice to meet you, Doc." said Sara
Doc smiled. "…You too Sara. Well, I better tell you what to do…this prince can be stubborn at times."
Sara smirked. Believe me Doc…I know that he is stubborn. No use in pointing the obvious.
"He will wake up soon…and when he does, he will try to scratch. Don't let him, okay? Because if he does scratch…well, that will not be a pretty sight. But then again, this prince is very stubborn so I assume that it will go to the point where you have to tie his hands."
That should be fun…
"Anyway, I just hope that it wouldn't come to that situation. After all, we wouldn't want our prince with scars, would we? So, take good care of him because if the prince will be covered in scars…well, I imagine the Queen wouldn't be too pleased."
"So…does he have certain medications that he needs?" asked Sara
"Well, I gave Dorothy a bottle of Eirah syrup and a bottle of Aphlea oil. Give Gil a spoonful of Eirah syrup after every meal, and rub Aphlea oil on his whole body after his bath. Of course, since measles cause fever, you will have to make sure that he doesn't do anything. He is restricted to bed rest. Also remember to put a wet washcloth on his forehead. Always close the drapes for the sunlight may hurt Prince Gil's eyes. Since Prince Gil is restricted to bed rest, he will get bored so you must stay here and keep him company. You also have to assist him in taking a bath because he will scratch." said Doc
Sara shivered. Rubbing oil on his whole body…assisting him in taking a bath…Oh my.
"I assume you already had the measles when you were young?" asked Doc
"Yes, yes I did."
"Well, since you already had the measles, you should probably sleep with him every night."
"Wh...What?" stammered Sara
Doc chuckled "No, I know what you're thinking about and it's not that. I meant that you should be beside him every time he sleeps. You can sleep on the floor or the chair beside the window but I imagine that it wouldn't be comfortable. Plus, if you aren't beside him and he does get up…you wouldn't hear him or feel him move and that might lead to an accident."
"Okay…" answered Sara. She was hesitant. Not that she didn't want to sleep beside him, she did. Really. But she worried that her heart might break. After all, when Prince Gil gets better, he is sure to find a suitable wife at the ball that the Queen planned. But still…it wouldn't hurt to dream. So she decided to do it.
Author's note: I don't know one single thing about measles so I just made stuff up. That's okay…It's my AU. Therefore, it's under my control. MWAHAHAHA. LOL =)
