"dad we're home what is the problem." Isaac yelled as the three of them entered into the house.
"Its Zac." Walker told them.
"Whats wrong with him." Joey asked with concern in her face.
"He got real sick and your mother went out to the store. I need you guys to watch the kids while I go to the pharmacy and get some medicine for zac."
"What kind of sick is he." Taylor asked.
"He has been puking up and as a fever and is complaining about a headache and then he says his cold but he's burning up. I don't know what to do some am just waiting for your Mom to get home soon until then I thought I should go to the pharmacy to get some flu stuff."
"Wow poor Zac I had that last year its awful. I was sick for a week and plus it made me real weak." Joey told everyone.
"So what did you do for it." Walker asked her.
"I just took some flu junk that is about all you can do till it goes away."
"Thanks Joey. I am off now guys." Walker got his coat and walked out the door.
"I'm going to go check on Zac guys." Joey told Isaac and Taylor. Joey waked up the stairs to Zac's room. She knocked on the door then opened it slowly. "Zac" she talked softly. Joey now fully entered the room and pulled a chair up next to Zac in his bed.
"Joey" Zac smiled at her.
"hey Zac how are you doing."
"Not so good Joey. I feel so weird."
'I know you need to just lay here. Your dad went out to get you some stuff."
"Joey"
"yes"
"Could you put on some music."
"yeah what do you want." Joey walked over to his CD rack.
'I don't know just put something on."
Joey looked over the CD's "Hey I didn't know you had this one." Joey held up Mariah Carey's Christmas CD. 'I was looking all over my room for this CD. Since it is three weeks till Christmas I thought I would listen to it."
"Um Joey I have a confession to make."
"Zachary Walker Hanson you did not steal my CD did you." Joey placed her hands on her hips. "You are a very bad boy. " She turned around and faced the other way. "Fine if you want to steal CDs from me I guess I just want give you your Christmas present."
"I'm sorry Joey."
Joey turned around and looked at Zac. Slowly her frown turned into a huge smile and went over to Zac.
"I knew you were playing with me."
"Now could I ever be mad at my Zaccy."
"Nope am just to cute."
"Yeah whatever you say Zac." Joey leaned down and placed a small kiss on Zac's' check. "Now I want you to stay here and go to sleep"
"Yes mother" Zac laid back down in his bed and closed his eyes. Joey got up and walked to the door. "Joey don't go. please stay."
"OK I'll stay." Joey walked back to the chair she was seating in. Joey looked at her watch. it was 9 o'clock. "What to do." She said to herself. she looked down at the floor and noticed a notebook on the floor. Joey picked it up and look at the first page. It was Zac's drawing pad. "Wow these drawings are good." Just then there was a knock at the door and Mrs. Hanson walked in.
"Hey Joey. Taylor told me you were up here. Hows he doing." Diana asked her.
"He's sleeping right now. I think he's OK now but from what Walker was saying he sounded bad."
"Yeah he told me. Do you think I should wake him up. I got some medicine for him to take."
"Yeah. it would be good for him to get that medication in him."
"Zac honey wake up." Diana gently shock him.
"Mom your home." Zac said went his eyes still closed.
'Yes. Now I want you to sit up and take this." Zac did as she said. "I'm going back downstairs if you need anything just call me or get Joey to get me." She kissed Zac on the head and left leaving him and Joey.
"You know what Zac, I should be heading home now."
"No Joey please don't go." Zac grabbed her hand.
"OK Zac." Joey sat in the chair once again.
An hour had pass and Joey had started to get real tired. Joey put down the book she was reading and looked over at Zac. "Zac how long have you been awake." Joey notice him staring at her.
"Not long, what are you reading."
"I don't know. Some book I found on your shelf. "
"Oh, are you tired." Zac noticed how she yawned in every sentence she spoke.
"Yeah I guess I am."
'here" Zac moved over in his bed and patted the bed for her to lay there. "You can sleep here if you want to."
"Zac I don't know your sick you could puke on me."
"Joey I promise I won't puke on you."
'Well OK." Joey got on the bed beside and fell asleep.
"morning Joey." walker greeted in the kitchen.
"Morning." Joey went to the table and sat next to Taylor. "hi Tay."
"Hi Joey" He smiled at her.
"Joey I want to thank you for staying with Zac last night." Walker told her.
'it was no problem. ohmigod what time is it."
"It is 9." Taylor told her.
"I'm late for school"
"Joey calm your mom called this morning and said you didn't have to go today."
'She did"
'yes. Now sit down her and eat some breakfast my mom made French toast."
