"How're you feeling?" asked Specs, taking his regular position at the edge of her bed.

"...About the same." She replied softly and sadly. She frowned a little as she looked at her hands.

Specs smiled reassuringly, taking her hands in his. "It'll get better, I swear," he said as he looked deeply into her eyes. "This is nothin', you'll get over it and next thing you know, you'll be working and reading again. And I'll be here every step of the way."

Tears filled Tag's eyes, and she immediately looked away from him. Why did he have to be so amazing?

"Lil, what's wrong?" said Specs, his eyes wide with concern when he noticed her eyes watering. Did he say something wrong?

"Oh, nothing's wrong." She sniffed. "You're just so sweet."

"Are you sure I didn't say something wrong?" he asked once again, his hand gently touching her cheek.

"No, of course you didn't." Now she was completely embarrassed. She tried to blink back her tears, but that just made them fall.
"I think I'm just tired."

"Do you want to take a nap?" he asked, ready to leave if she wanted to get some rest. He was willing to do anything to get her back on her feet again.

She nodded, knowing he didn't like to see her cry. She turned away from him and shut her eyes tightly.

"I'll stay here until you fall asleep," he said quietly, gently kissing her on the cheek.

Tag managed to pull herself together and tried to fall asleep.
After about 15 minutes, she sighed and turned to lay on her back. "I can't sleep."

"It's alright, you don't need to if you don't want to," he said reassuringly. Specs had been patiently humming a tune that he heard a couple newsies singing while Tag attempted to sleep. "I can run to the house and grab a book and read it to you. How does that sound?"

Tag attempted to take a deep breath and failed, spurring another fit of coughing.

"Or not," muttered Specs, taking the water from the table and handing it to her once again. He hated leaving her when she wasn't feeling well. Reading can wait another day.
