He shook his head. "I couldn't get outta bed. I wanted you."

"Jeez. David! I would have found you eventually." she said, taking his hand. "of course you get sick when your Momma isn't here..." she sighed, wishing she knew how to help him. She got up and put a cool washcloth on his forehead, hoping to cool his fever.

He coughed again, a hacking kind of cough. His head was spinning. His whole body was shivering, despite his fever, and he clutched her hand. "Erin...I--I'm cold..."

"you have three blankets," she muttered, giving him a horrified look. He had the shivers, this didn't look good. She squeezed his hand. "just shut your eyes baby. I can give you something to knock you out if you need it."
She needed to get a doctor, he looked awful.

He nodded, mumbling something about medicine and sleep, still holding onto her hand.

She watched him for a moment, trying hard not to panic and cry. She lit the stove in the living room, trying to make it warmer in the apartment for him.

He coughed, shaking, even though he was wrapped in blankets. He'd never felt so sick in his life, and he was half-delusional.

"Dave," Erin whispered, back in the room and at his side. "I'm going to go get the doctor. Is it alright if I leave you?"

He whimpered. "Don't want you to go..." He didn't want to be left alone.

"okay," she replied, biting her lip. "how's your stomach? Do you feel any nausea?"

He shook his head. "Fever..." He couldn't even formulate complete sentences at this point.

"Oh god." she was just about to go searching for any of those magic sleeping pills when there was a knock at the door. Erin raced to the door, opening it.
"Trixie! Oh thank you god!"

Trixie blinked at her, then put her hands on her shoulders. "Erin, calm down. You stay here with David, I'll go get a doctor. Eli oughta' be home soon, too."
