An alarm goes off, ripping me out of a deep sleep. My arms flail around until it finds what it is looking for. Attempting to turn it off, I knock my phone off the nightstand, and it lands on the hardwood floor with a thud. I jump out of bed and regret it immediately. The throbbing in my head and the persistent body aches send me crawling back into bed.

Jack’s bed.

I hear a groan coming from behind me and a shuffling of blankets. As he lies there, the blanket tightly wrapped around him, his sunken eyes lock onto mine.

“You okay over there?” I ask.

“What time is it? I slept like shit.”

“It’s seven o’clock.” I tug at the blanket underneath me, but I don’t have the strength to pull it free. Fuck it. I’ll just freeze. “Were you kicking me all night?”

His hand reaches up to pull the blanket away from his face. The bloodshot eyes and ashen skin are telltale signs he caught Silas’s bug. “Whoa.”

“What?” Using every ounce of energy, he attempts to sit up. Reaching over, I place my hand on his chest, urging him to lie back down.

“Just stay there. Let me get up, get some medicine or coffee or something for you. Us.” Moving slowly, I pad my way to the kitchen and turn on the coffee machine. Already out of breath, I rest against the counter as the coffee brews. The machine emits a series of beeps, each one feeling like a sharp needle poking my brain. Fumbling through the cupboard, I find what we need before I pour two cups of coffee.

Still wrapped in his blanket, Jack emerges from the bedroom only to bypass the kitchen and crawl on the couch. He slips his shaky hand out from under the blanket and takes two pills and the mug from me.

“Your body hurts too?” I ask, curling up on the other end of the couch and wrapping the throw blanket over my body, the chills setting in.

“It hurts so much.” His eyes close, and his head gently falls back against the couch.

“We need to call into work. There’s no way we can go in like this,” I say, getting up to find my phone. Jack reaches out and grabs my wrist.

“I already texted Wolf and Nate. Winnie will hold down the fort and Nate is handling my team today. I texted the daycare, too.”

Leaning back on the couch, I sigh with relief. Walking down the hall to find my phone seemed too far, anyway. Last night was rough. After the third or fourth time cleaning Silas up and giving him little sips of water, Jack and I eventually crashed into his bed, since it was closest to Silas’s room.

“Momma! Daddy! What’s for breakfast?” Silas pops into the living room, bright eyed and bushy tailed, looking very rested and very healthy.

“How you are feeling, buddy?” Jack asks.

“Great! Oh no, Daddy. You sick?” Silas comes over to Jack and places his hand on his forehead. “You hot, Daddy,” he says with a furrowed brow.
