"baby, i don't feel so good." billie mumbled.

i frowned and placed my hand on her forehead. "it feels like you've gotta a fever, bubbie."

she crossed her arms and let out a long sigh. "i hate being sick. it fucking sucks."

"i know. i'm going to go see if we have any medicine, alright?"

she pouted. "okay."

"i'll be right back."

i walked down stairs and smiled when i saw brendan in the kitchen. "hi. do you know if we have any medicine?"

"for what?"

"bil has a fever."

he shook his head. "we ran out a few weeks ago."

"can you please go and get some?" i begged as i gave him my best puppy dog eyes. "please please please please?"

he sighed. "fine. i'll be back soon." he grabbed his keys and started walking toward the door.

"thank you! i love you!" i shouted as he opened the door.

"love you too, loser!"

i went back upstairs and into my room. billie was laying in my bed, her arms still crossed as she stared up at the roof. i let out a small laugh. "you good?"

she looked at me and pouted, shaking her head. "no. i just want cuddles."

i smiled and walked over to her, laying down beside her on the bed. she wrapped her arms around my waist and laid her head on my chest. "we don't have any medicine so i made bren bren go get some."

"sounds good."

i ran my hand through her hair. "whenever i was younger and i got sick, my mom would stay in my room with me all day and we'd watch my favorite shows. she would bring me soup and i'd always get so happy because it the only time she would let us have food in our rooms." i recalled, smiling at the memories.

"it sounds like she was a great mom."

"she was." i smiled sadly. "she was, hands down, the great person i've ever known."

i leaned my head on top of billie's as she rubbed my side comfortingly. it was silent as we laid there, just enjoying each other's presence.

after a while, i heard a knock on the bedroom door. "come in!"

brendan walked in with a bottle of water and some medicine. "here you go." he said as he sat it on my bedside table.

"thanks, dude." billie said, moving one of her hands from my waist to give him a thumbs up.

"no problem."

we sat up and i gave billie the medicine and water bottle. she took it quickly and i put it back on the bedside table. "i'm sleepy." she said in a baby-like voice.

i laughed and nodded, laying back down, pulling her back into a cuddle. "let's sleep then, baby."
