“Mommy …”
I woke up to that call, followed by a coughing and sniffing sound – a sound that didn’t bode well.
Fuck, I sighed. I really didn’t have the energy for one of the kids to be sick with all the s**t that was going on those days – but hey, that’s what a mother’s job is.
So, even if every single cell of my body just wanted to sleep some more, I opened my eyes.
Amber was in bed with Liam and me: her eyes were red and puffy, as well as her nose, and she crawled into my arms, crying. “Mommy I don’t feel good …”
“Oh, baby,” I murmured, taking her into my arms. As I pressed my lips to her forehead, I realized she had a fever. “It’s nothing serious, I promise. You’re just cold from jumping in the lake … now we go downstairs and drink something warm, all right?”
