Chapter 33
*Nat*
I woke up that morning, to a very cold bed. I think after I shrugged Nick off he went to sleep somewhere else. I went into the babies room, and saw Lexi and Michael sleeping. I then looked around for them maybe walking or something but I couldn’t find them. As I walked down the stairs I saw the living room empty, so I walked into where our family’s sleep when the spend the night to help. I saw Nick sleeping on one of the beds, with Andrew on his chest. I just started to cry at this site. Nick start to wake up, while I was standing there. “Nattie?” he asked. “Yeah.” I sniffled.
“Come here.” he said barley up. I crawled up in the bed with him. “I think he’s sick.”
I looked at him and noticed his puffy red eyes. “Have you been up all night with him?” he nodded.
“Then why didn’t you wake me?” he looked at me trying not to wake the baby. “I know that this is my fault that you had take him out, so I called the doctor and he helped me. So that’s about all I did.”
“What’s his temperature?” he rubbed his back, and looked at me. “last time I checked it was 100 degrees.” I rubbed his back and felt his head. “Dude this boy is burning. Umm. I should call my mom and tell her to pick up one of the other two, and take them away for here so he can get better, and we won’t have 3 sick babies.” he sighed. “Alright.” I almost got off the bed, when he pulled me back.
“I’m sorry.” he said. I put my fingers to his lips, “we can talk about this once he’s better, then we can talk.” he nodded as I gave him a hug.
After I called our moms’ I got the other babies and waited for them. Once my mom came, she told me what to do, I knew most of it. I swear I did. After they left, I went too where Nick and the baby was.
Nick’s eyes were closed, but he wasn’t sleeping. “Nick? They left.. You want something to eat? I’ll cook it.” I said. He opened his eyes and yawned.
“Or do you want to sleep, and then we can talk?” he nodded. I started to leave when I heard a noise that sounded like my name. “Did you say something?” I asked.
He nodded, “sleep next to me.” he said patting the empty spot next to him. “Nick, I want to eat something. I could get it and lay next to you.” he started to look really sad, “now. Please. I need you.” he said in this voice I never heard him from before. “Alright.” I said laying next to him, he put his arm around me. “Thank you.” he said. “I’m sorry, I ..” I started to say, “no, later.” he said softly. Later on he woke up and I looked at him. “Are you okay?” I asked as he looked down at Andrew still sleeping. “I think so, as long as everything is okay with us.”
“Look Nick, I just didn’t like the idea about you not keeping your promise and I flipped out. I’m so sorry.” I said kissing his cheek. “I’m sorry too, I should of called. Then this one wouldn’t be sick.” he said putting his hand to Andrew’s head. “He feels a lot better.” Nick said smiling. “That’s good. Let’s get you and him some food.” I said sitting up. “You too.” Nick said smiling at me. “I love you.” I said as he sat up. “I love you too baby doll.” he said smiling.
