—————————————————————————

Liam's pov

We have just finished our take me home tour. We are all having time with our families. It is just me and both my sisters at home because my mum and dad are on holiday for a week. It is about midnight and I can't sleep. I feel really sick to my stomach. I curl into myself gripping my stomach as a strong cramp rips though me. I whimper and feel a tear slip down my face. I feel a gag and I instantly throw up on my bed and the floor. I instantly start sobbing.

Nicola's pov

I get woken up by crying coming from Liam's room. I am instantly up and I rush to his room. I hate it when my baby brother cries. I open the door and see the heartbreaking sight of Liam sat up in bed with vomit all down him and on the bed and floor. He looks up at me and starts crying again. I say to him "Oh Liam. Let's go and get you cleaned up yeah" Liam nods and I step over the puddle of vomit on the floor and I help Liam out of bed.

I start to lead Liam to the bathroom but he suddenly stops and slaps a hand over his mouth. I say to him "Are you going to be sick?" Liam nods urgently and I quickly drag him to the bathroom but we don't make it in time. He gags and throws up right outside of Ruth's bedroom door. He starts crying and Ruth opens her door and pouts at the sight of our baby brother sobbing over a puddle of vomit. I rub Liam's back whilst Ruth rubs Liam's stomach with one hand and smooths his hair with the other whilst I am holding him up. Once he finished Ruth says "I'll take him to help him clean up since you handle cleaning up vomit better than me" I nod knowing it is true and I carefully move Liam to Ruth and I go downstairs to get the cleaning products.

Ruth's pov

I take my poorly brother into the bathroom and I run a bath on the colder side but not to cold. I grab the thermometer and place it in Liam's ear and I press the button. Once it beeps I take the thermometer out of Liam's ear and say "39.3. Let's get you out of these vomit covered clothes and into the bath." I help him out of his vomit covered clothes but I leave his boxers on and I help Liam into the bath he whines and tries to get out of the bath "I wanna get out" I say to him "A few more minutes baby." I gently wash Liam's sweaty hair and I make him sit in the bath for five more minutes before I get the thermometer again and I place it in his ear. Once it beeps I take the thermometer out of his ear and say "38.5. You can get out now buddy." Liam reaches his arms to be picked up. I grab a towel and pick Liam up carefully so I don't drop him. I pull the plug out of the drain.

I gently carry Liam into his room where I help Liam to get dried and dressed. I smile at Liam as Nicola comes in. She says "Let's all go and cuddle on the sofa downstairs yeah and get all snuggly" Liam nods and reaches to be carried again. I pick him up and carry him downstairs. I see that Nicola has put out the sofa bed and made it look all cosy. I gently lay Liam down and he whines wanting a cuddle. I lay on one side of Liam and Nicola lays the other. He snuggles in with both of us and soon his eyes are drooping shut but he is trying to force himself awake. Nicola gently rubs Liam's stomach and I gently smooth his hair and soon his soft snoring can be heard.

I look over at Nicola and she says "Our poor baby brother" I nod in agreement and gently kiss his forehead. He smiles in his sleep. Both me and Nicola decide to go to sleep as well.

The next morning Nicola's pov

I get woken up by the sound of Liam crying and liquid hitting the bottom of something metal. I look at Liam and see him throwing up into the bucket I put down for him with Ruth rubbing his back. I gently smooth his hair and Ruth looks over at me. I say "How long have you been awake for?" Ruth responds "Not long. Probably about five minutes" I say "You should have woken me up" Ruth responds "I would have done but Liam didn't want me to" I nod and Liam looks up from the bucket. He looks worse than he did last night. I say "Oh my poor baby brother. Do you not feel well?" Liam looks at me and shakes his head with tears running down his face. I gently kiss his forehead and say "Oh Li you are baking. You stay with Ruth and I will go and clean the bucket out and get a thermometer" Liam nods and cuddles into Ruth needing comfort.

Ruth's pov

Liam cuddles into me and I can feel the heat radiating off of him. Liam says "I'm tired Roo" I respond "I know little bro. We just need to wait for Nicola then you can go back to sleep yeah buddy" Liam nods and yawns. About five minutes later Nicola comes back in and hands the thermometer to me and puts the clean bucket on the floor. I gently put the thermometer in Liam's ear and press the button. Once it beeps I take the thermometer out of his ear and say "Your fever is 39.9. We need to cool you down" he says "Me no wanna bath" I respond "Let's take your jumper off then and put a cold cloth on your forehead and neck then we will go from there" Liam nods and I help him to take off his jumper.

Nicola comes back with the cloths and we put them on his head and neck. I say to him "Get some sleep bud. We will be here when you wake up. He nods and falls asleep.

A week later no one's pov

Liam felt much better after 5 days and thanked Ruth and Nicola for looking after him and they enjoyed the rest of the time Liam got to spend with his family
