"Yes Gabriel?" Diana asked.

Gabriel smiled slightly when he realised it was her, reaching for the blankets with his free hand.

Sammy covered Gabriel back up. Diana squeezed Gabriel's hand.

Gabriel pulled the blankets tight around himself with one hand, moving closer to where Diana was, resting his head against her hand; too tired to sit up to hug her.

"Just rest," said Diana. "We're here."

"Just did..." Gabriel muttered.

"You need all the rest you can get Gabriel," said Diana.

Gabriel gave a small nod, groaning quietly as he got comfortable again.

"You don't have to sleep if you don't want to," Diana told her son. "Just relax, okay?"

"Okay..." Gabriel mumbled, sounding as if he didn't really know what he was responding to.

"You poor thing," said Diana. "I haven't seen you this sick since you were just a baby."

"D-don't like it..." Gabriel muttered.

"I know honey, I know," said Diana.

Gabriel mumbled something before starting to cough.

"Gabriel?" Sammy asked. "How long before I came was the last time a nurse checked your temp?"

Gabriel shook his head and mumbled again.

Sammy sighed, getting up to get the thermometer.

Gabriel muttered quietly, shivering under his blankets.

"Shhhhhh," Diana soothed gently.

Gabriel whimpered and curled up more as he kept shivering.

"Is there anything I can do?" Diana asked

Junior Posts : 169 Join date : 2012-02-16

"Cold...." Gabriel whined.

Junior Posts : 500 Join date : 2012-02-10

Diana nodded. "I know sweetie, I know."

Gabriel started couching, wrapping his arms around himself, in pain.

"You want me to sit up there with you, hold you like I used to?" Diana asked.
