(Authors Note: Sorry for the delay, life has been chaos but I'm back in track with writing. Next chapter will be the conclusion and there is a little surprise after that ;3
Anyways. Enjoy this new entry)
Almond was in the kitchen preparing breakfast, he had woke up a little late than usual as it was his day off and wanted to treat himself for a change and to also treat his now 6 month old baby girl Walnut who was looking a bit down than usual in her high chair
He noticed that thinking that she might be getting hungry and picked her chin as he planted a small kiss in her forehead
"Its okay sweetie, I'll give you your food in a second; hope you like it"-he said that while placing a bowl with a brown mush, she looked at it curiously but she just grunt in discomfort and sniffle a bit as she pushed the bowl; the young detective noticed and got a bit concerned from her reaction
"Huh? You're not hungry, Walnut? What is it sweetie?"-Almond asked her but she just grunt again, Walnut just keep sniffling and soon enough she throw up a bit that landed on the tray; the young detective got concerned at that and soon Walnut started to cry hysterically
"Oh sweetie, shh shh shh. Its okay, its okay"-the detective said while wiping her face, he picked her up and patted her back while bouncing her to calm her down, the baby cookie was still sniffling while clinging to her dad's shirt wanting to be comforted
She kept sniffling and she then let out a loud sneeze that manage to cover both her face and her dad's shirt in snot, this caused Almond to start to panicked
"Oh curd! I better take you to the doctor, poor thing; why I didn't noticed this earlier?"-he said to himself while picking up her bag, swaddling her in a blanket and rushed out the door to the nearest doctor. Inside the waiting room, Almond was shushing his very upset daughter as she was whimpering he touch her forehead and was burning hot which ring many alarms in his head
"Oh no, she's got a fever, what do I do? Hope she is okay, I can't loose her! Not my baby too!"-He was about to get immerse in his negative thoughts when he was called in. Once inside, the doctor did the regular check up on the baby cookie, Walnut was whining and whimpering wanting to get out but having her dad holding her tiny hand the entire time make her calm down
After her check up, the doctor sighed and call the young detective
"What is it doctor? Will she be alright?"-Almond asked all concerned
"She'll be okay, sir. Its just the flu and-"-the doctor was cut off mid sentence
"What? The Flu? B-but she is just a baby, she can't have the flu, right?"-the young detective panicked while swaddling Walnut
"She can, but don't you worry. Nothing like medicine to treat her sickness and a nice warm bath to lower her fever can't do to cure her. Just make sure she is taken care properly and to not expose her to sudden temperature changes"-the doctor said while giving him a note, Almond sighed in relief as he thanked the doctor and got out to get what his daughter needed
Back in the house, the detective was struggling to give baby Walnut the medicine, all his attempts ended with her just refusing and getting fussy with every attempt
"C'mon sweetie, is just medicine"-he cooed but Walnut kept refusing until she opened her mouth to scream and got surprised by getting a spoonful of the medicine in her mouth; she quickly gagged and spat a bit
"No, no, no, don't do that. You need to take this honey, its for you to be a happy baby again"-Almond said to her while wiping her face. He then took her to the bathroom and draw her a warm bath as the doctor said; Walnut still felt miserable and was whining all the way and tried to get out many times
After her bath, Almond dried her up, placed her in a clean diaper and dressed her in comfy warm clothes; the baby cookie was trying to get off of them but she was too tired to even do so and her being sick didn't help, she then let out another cry but this time it was tired one
"Oh, Walnut. Its okay, you'll be okay. I understand you don't like all of this but its for your own good"-the young detective said while cradling her, he sat with her on a rocking chair as he patted her bottom, Walnut was whimpering as she let out a small sneeze which cause her to whine a bit but she soon hear the soothing heart beats from the detective as he placed her close to his chest
He was slowly calming down from all the struggle, he didn't want to see his baby daughter sick but it was all hard for him, still wishing his partner was there to help him or to clam him at every moment he felt a rush of panic; Almond soon saw that Walnut has fallen asleep in his chest, he just sighed and placed her inside the crib and wiped the little bit of snot she had in her nose
"Don't worry, sweetie. Daddy will make you feel better...I promised"-he muttered as he gingerly patted her head and leave the nursery to have his, now cold, breakfast
By the next day, Walnut was happily cooing inside her crib as she was trying to grab the little toys from the mobile; her dad walked in as he let out a yawn, he had spent almost all the day of yesterday making sure she had her medicine and all the instructions needed
"Heh, feeling better now, eh? Good morning, you little missy"-he said as he picked her up and kiss her cheek, she giggled a bit before sneezing a bit bit she was no longer sniffling or having massive snot explosions. After getting changed and dressed, both cookies headed to the kitchen to het breakfast
"Well, we may not had the breakfast we wanted yesterday but...at least we-"-Almond was trying to finish his sentence but he soon let out a loud sneeze scaring his daughter, he soon also sniffled a bit and rubbed his nose as he sneeze yet again
"Looks like I got sick too, heh"-he said as he sighed, Walnut just giggled in response, the young detective chuckled at that. At least both were still getting that breakfast they wanted while having a sick day as father and daughter
