Comfort
Purely self-indulgent fic because I'm currently feeling the same way Roxanne is and would loved to be treated the way she is right now. These 3 will be in the other original fics as well so there will be more explanation about them I promise.

Roxanne collapsed onto the sofa in her house. She felt absolutely miserable, colds always had that affect on her. She just wanted to curl up and die. She could hear Buster scratching at the kitchen door to get out to her but right now she didn't have the energy to move. She curled up and fell asleep quickly, a nap might help her feel better anyway. When she woke up an hour later she was covered with a warm blanket and her terrier lay beside her watching her. It wasn't until she spotted Alex standing in the kitchen doorway she realised he must have put it there. The Italian smiled and walked over to her placing his hand on her forehead to check her temperature.
"How are you feeling? You had me worried when I came in and you were asleep and Buster was still locked up. You had him worried too he hasn't left your side for the last hour."
"I'm feeling a bit better now having you back helps, I missed you." Her fiancee had been in Italy for 2 weeks visiting his family.
He kissed her gently on the forehead. "I missed you too. I was half expecting to come back and find you and Mark had killed each other."
"No we managed. Where is he anyway?" She patted the sofa and Buster jumped up beside her curling up on her lap with a lick to her face. He was better than any hot water bottle and always managed to cheer her up.
"Still at work some hold up in the case and it over ran. He says he's sorry he can't be here when you're sick."
"It's just a cold it'll be gone in a couple of days." She sneezed making Buster jump and earning her a glare from the mutt. "Sorry puppy I can't help it. Do we have any of the cold medicine left?" She asked Alex hopefully it was the only thing that could possibly make her feel better at the minute. He smiled again and walked out of the room to come back with a tray of soup, hot tea and the cold medicine. "I got this while you were asleep now eat up you'll feel better I promise"
Soon the soup and tea was gone and she was curled up in Alex's arms nearly asleep. He was speaking softly to her in Italian but her brain couldn't work enough to translate it. Whatever it was it was making her fall asleep. She felt herself be lifted and placed into a soft bed but she wasn't aware of anything beyond that until the next morning when she woke up in strong arms. Looking at the clock she panicked slightly she was supposed to have been in work 20 minutes ago. "Mark I have to get up, gotta go to work."
"No Al called in for you they're not epecting you in today. Just go back to sleep sweetheart. You need it to recover." She didn't need telling twice and snuggled back into his arms falling asleep almost instantly.
