Tender Loving Care

Monte made a worried sound, moving closer.

Lennon pouted more, his arms still folded.

Sammy moved to kneel down to Lennon's level. "Lennon?" she asked. "You alright?"

Lennon nodded and looked away, turning to face Monte instead.

"Lennon, sweetie I just wanna help," said Sammy.

Lennon made a nervous sound, slowly looking back at Sammy.

Monte took Lennon's hand, squeezing it gently.

Lennon gave a small smile, holding Monte's hand tightly.

"I'm right here Len," said Monte quietly. "It's okay."

Lennon smiled and nodded. "I know..."

Sammy smiled, watching them. "What's the matter Lennon?" she asked.

"Throat hurts." Lennon said quietly.

Sammy frowned, moving a hand to Lennon's forehead.

Lennon made a nervous sound, freezing as Sammy reached out to touch him.

"It's okay Len," Sammy said softly. "Don't be scared, it's alright."

Lennon nodded and slowly relaxed, closing his eyes like Adam would when trying to calm down.

Sammy smiled at the similarity, but frowned when she felt Lennon's forehead.

Lennon opened his eyes, looking worried when he saw the frown. "W-What?" He asked.

"You're pretty warm Lennon," said Sammy. "Your daddy told me where I could find your medicine, when was the last time you took any?"

"Before daddy went..." Lennon said after thinking about it.

Sammy nodded. "It's probably time for another dose then."

Lennon nodded, brushing hair off his face afterwards.

Sammy went to get the medicine

Lennon moved to curl up on the couch, laying his head on its arm.

Monte watched with a worried expression
