Warning: Illness

Frederic is holding me. I am shivering. Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra are in the room. Frederic sighs.
"I have so much work to do. I haven't had time." He announces. He rocks me. Rapunzel comes forward.
"I could look after her." She offers.
"Are you okay with that?". She nods. "Thank you so much.". He lays me down. "I'm going to go work. Rapunzel will take care of you.". I coo. Frederic, Eugene, and Cassandra leave.
Rapunzel picks me up.
"You are going to have fun with me.". She bounces me. I giggle. She kisses my forehead. She sets me down. She sits me up. She grabs a white bowl of broth. She puts it to my lips. I drink.
"Do you want a bath?". I hum. "Yes? Okay. Let me go and get the tub ready. You can sleep.". She pulls the cover up. She leaves. I hear splashing. Five minutes later, she comes back. She picks me up. She walks over to the bathroom. She grabs a pink towel. She lays me down. She undresses me. She picks me up. She sets me down in warm water. She takes a pale pink cloth and washes me. She splashes water on me. She washes my hair. She pours freezing water on my hair. I squeal. "Shh, it's okay. Look, we're done.". She picks me up. She lays me down on the towel. She rubs the towel on me. She puts on a purple nightgown and nightpants. She picks me up. She walks over to the bed. She lays me down and tucks me in.
She grabs a copy of The Hunchback of Norte Dame with a green cover, sits on the bed and reads it to me. I fall asleep.
