When they get home

''ok go lay on the couch while I run upstairs to get some sweats that you can wear for tonight hangon I'll go get them.''Clair says and runs upstairs

Rory lays weakly on the couch.

Clair comes down and see's how sick Rory is ''hey sweetie wake up up for a minute here go and change.'' she tell's Rory and gives Rory the sweats and Rory goes to change in the bathroom then comes back to lay down.

''I want to take your temperature.'' she tell's Rory and gets the thermometer and sticks it in Rory's mouth ''shh just relax.'' Clair tell's her

The thermometer beeps a few minutes later 102.3 and Clair takes it out of Rory's mouth

''oh boy hangon sweetie.'' she says and calls her husband and Luke

At the gas station his cell phone rings.

''hey how she doing?'' he asks her

''well she's definitely sick listen could you pick up some baby asprin,popsicles,gatorade, and some of those noddle soup cup things I want to try to keep her hydrated so she doesn't get dehydrated so I won't have to bring her to the hospital tonight?'' she asks him

''yea sure anything else?'' he asks her

''no thanks hun I think that will do it.'' she tell's him

''ok see you in a bit.'' he hangs up

Clair sit's on the couch and puts Rory's head on her lap and strokes her head and Rory falls asleep.
