Sick

[jazlyn_ahad]

Jazlyn walked into the room where Ami, Abu and Dr. Kav were sleeping. "Abu! Ami!" She whined, trying to wake them up. Her chin and the front of her night shirt was covered in vomit and her usually curly, bouncy hair was stuck down to her forehead as she sweated profusely. Tears streamed down both cheeks. "Abu, please, I don't feel good." She

Nick woke up gently his eyes peeling open as he squinted in the dark, "What is it sweetheart?" He asked standing up before frowning as he saw her and feeling her head. "Ok, come on, lets clean you up." He murmured taking her hand and feeling her temperature with his free hand. "Oh no, come on, lets get you into the shower." He whispered taking her to the bathroom and taking off her night shirt and underwear sitting her in the tub and cleaning her up gently.

Kavanagh stirred at Jazlyn's voice, but it wasn't until her and Nick had gone into the other room that he become fully conscious. David was still fast asleep, spread out across the bed, he could sleep through anything. Cal kissed him softly on his forehead, then slipped out of bed, grabbing a dressing gown and putting it on as he headed to the bathroom.

"Hey, everything ok?" He asked in concern, noting the soiled clothing.

[jazlyn_ahad]

Jazlyn sat in the bath like Abu told her too. But now she was cold. She started shivering and couldn't stop. "Abu, my paiat hurts. Make it stop. Please." She said, still crying and clinging to him as he washed her. Her body limp and energyless.

[majorlorne]

Ok sweetheart." He replied wrapping her in a towel and drying her off carrying her into their room and pulling out some underwear and a t shirt before picking her up again.

He looked over at Cal, She's sick, I'm taking her over to Beckett.

[doctor_kavanagh]

Cal nodded, standing back helplessly. He wasn't sure what he should do and Nick seemed to have it under control. "I'll come with you." He whispered. He glanced at the sleeping David as he passed the room. "Should I wake him? Or should we let him sleep. I suppose there's no point in worrying him too." He said, deciding as he followed Nick and Jazlyn out of the room.

[majorlorne]

Nick smiled reassuringly back at him as he held Jazlyn tightly carrying her to the infirmary, calling the nearest doctor to have a look at her sitting on the bed and settling her on his lap so she could be seen to whilst he held her.

[jazlyn_ahad]

Jazlyn clung to him as they waited. Her crying had settled down, but occasionally she would moan softly as she moved and a spark of pain ran across her tummy. She was still too hot, but she didn't want to move away from Abu.

[majorlorne]

Nick knelt down softly, "Jazlyn...where was the other blood?" He asked trying to soothe her by running his hands through her hair.

[jazlyn_ahad]

"Everywhere. Blood everywhere." She shuddered and curled tightly into Lorne's body, trying to blot out the rest of the world. "Please Abu. I want to go home. To Ami. Please. Let's go."

[majorlorne]

He sighed softly and cuddled her, "Jazlyn, you trust me don't you sweetheart?" He whispered softly. "Abu will always look after you won't he?"

[jazlyn_ahad]

She nodded. "Please Abu. I don't like it here. I don't want needles. I want to go home." She said crying again, tears flowing unchecked as she realised she wasn't going to get out of this.

[majorlorne]

Nick frowned, "IT's all right I'll stay here." He murmured worried

[doctor_kavanagh]

Cal nodded agreeing and they both took a seat at Jazlyn's bedside, silently watching the little girl sleep, their hands still interlocked. After a while, Cal turned to look at Nick. "Someone should go tell David. He'll just panic if he wakes up to find no-one there. Will you be ok by yourself for a while?" He asked gently, not wanting to leave.

[majorlorne]

Nick nodded, "I'll be fine." He murmured softly squeezing his hand. "You should go and tell him."

[doctor_kavanagh]

Kavanagh squeezed his hand back then leaned in to kiss him. "I'll be back soon, ok. Comm me if anything changes. Love you." He murmured, before leaving.

David wakened with a start and rather inelegant snort, if he did say so himself. Days in the lab without rest, nights without eating until the database-reorganization was finished had made him....well sleep like the dead, frankly. He rolled over and groaned, long arms spreading across the bed, fingers tangling in the sheets as he set in for a really spectacular stretch. After a moment he paused, sat bolt upright, and glanced around--he was....alone. Far more alone than he'd went to bed, Cal's nose buried in his nape, Marc's legs wrapped with his

[majorlorne]

Marc tapped his earpiece, David, you up? Jazlyn's in the infirmary, she's sick, think you can come down?" He asked softly so as not to wake the little girl.

[doctor_kavanagh]

Cal was almost back at the quarters and sighed inwardly at David's voice, and Nick's slightly frantic response. He hadn't wanted him to hear it over the comm. He tapped his comm to added himself to the conversation. "Hey Davey, I'm coming to you, be there..." He broke off as he entered the room. David was standing frozen in place, worry and fear evident on his expressive face. Cal quickly crossed the room and pulled him into a hug. "She's going to be ok." He murmured into his ear. "They're kids, they get sick."

[david_parrish]

David buried his face in the crook of Cal's shoulder for one brief, selfish moment, then pulled away, digging around for a fresh tshirt and jeans. He got the tshirt over his head and the jeans up, but not buttoned, before he had to go to Cal again, hands on his lover's warm, famliar shoulders.

"she..sh-she's ok, right? I mean, you wouldn't be here if she were really s-sick---what has the doctor s-said...is she.."

he took a moment to calm himself, eyes closing as he swallowed thickly, all color leaving his already-pale face. When he opened his eyes again, he pulled at Cal's hand, trying to button his fly and bring them both to the door at the same time.

"I-I'm n-not good with sick, Cal-not kids, es-specially not my...not Jazlyn."
