Teddy PoV

It was Monday morning, so the kids were getting ready for school after the weekend, it was actually quite quiet inside our little flat, then I heard Ro get sick in the bathroom.

"(whispers "shit") Rowan, Sweetheart, are you ok?"

"No"

There was a little bit of a pause before Ro walked into the living room, looking half asleep and deathly pale, she then sat on my lap and buried her head in my shoulder.

"Daddy, I got sick"

"I know Baby girl, I know"

"Can I still go to school Daddy?"

"(Sighs), No Darling, (kisses top of head), you can't go to school when you've been sick"

"But I don't feel sick anymore Daddy"

"(Sighs), I know Rowan Sweetheart, but going to school when you're sick will make you feel worse than you do now, because you're pushing yourself to do more than your body can cope with at the moment"

"But how long will it be until I can go back to school Daddy?"

"Well Darling, usually it's about 48 hours after you last get sick, so the minimum should be Wednesday"

Ro then curled up on top of me as I laid down on the couch, she looked so small and fragile at that moment, I then heard Mikey get sick, so nobody was going to school that day.

"Daddy"

"Yeah Baby"

"I got sick"

"Come here"

A couple of hours and a phone call to the school later, I had 2 sleeping bodies on top of me, they both looked quite peaceful, though Mikey woke up a few minutes after that.

"Daddy"

"Yes Sweetheart"

"Why is the sky blue?"

"Well, I don't know why Mikey, that would be a question for you to ask Uncle Georgie"

"Ok Daddy, I love you"

"I love you too Buba"

Mikey went back to sleep after that, obviously only waking up to ask me that question.

I stayed like that all day, what we do for our sweet little angels, seriously though, I would've stayed like that forever if it meant that they'd be comfortable.

A couple of hours after that, Georgie came home, and he looked a little scared, for some reason.

"Hey Teddy wha-"

"Yes Georgie, Ro and Mikey have a stomach bug"

"Have you been there all day?"

"Yes, you try moving at all without waking a couple of sick children up"

"I don't think that I could though Teddy"

"That's my point Kiddo, duh"

"Oh, that makes sense, so do you want a cup of tea?"

"Sure Georgie boy, just don't put-"

"The milk in first, seriously I did that one fucking time after Mum taught me how to make tea, because I genuinely thought that everyone had it that way and now you tell me every goddamn time I make a cup of tea"

"Oh boo hoo, stop acting like a 5 year old"

"Hey!, screw you too Daddyo"

Georgie then walked to the kitchenette, doing whatever the fuck he does when he makes a cup of tea, he then walked in with two cups of tea and a sandwich.

"You hungry there Georgie boy?"

"No Teddy, I'm not actually hungry"

"Then why did you make a sandwich Georgie boy?"

"Well Teddy, that's because this sandwich isn't for me"

"Then who's fucking sandwich is it then Georgie?"

"It's your sandwich Daddyo, duh"

"Look I'm not bloody hungry Georgie"

"Well if you haven't moved from the couch since this morning when you found out that both Ro and Mikey had the stomach bug, it means that you haven't eaten anything since at least then, if not then last nights dinner, so take the damn sandwich Dad"

"Ok ok ok Georgie, I'm taking the damn sandwich"

"Good"

So I took the sandwich from Georgie and ate it even though I wasn't feeling that hungry, because I knew that I couldn't exactly tell him off for not eating a few months ago if I did the same thing at that point, since then I would've actually been a hypocrite, and I try not to be one when I can avoid it.

"Thanks Georgie"

"You're welcome, see was that hard?"

"Georgie, you know that you're lucky that I have two sleeping children in my arms"

"Yes I know that I am Teddy, but do you feel better now that you ate something"

"I do feel better actually Georgie, though what would be even better is a cup of tea"

"I'll make you one now Teddy"

"Thank you Kiddiwink"

Georgie then made some more tea for the both of us, and as much as I sometimes make fun of him and shit for his tea, he actually makes a decent cup of tea, but I wouldn't be an older brother without being annoying in some shape or form.
