I'm feeling under the weather and Chris is taking care of me. He made me his grandma's chicken soup and now we're having a hot bath. He runs a very hot bath, adds the bath oil and it fills the room with fragrant steam. "This will help open up your airways..."

He gets in first and I settle in with my back against his chest."Mmmmm..."

"Just relax and breathe deeply..." He presses a kiss to my temple. "Just relax."

Ordinarily I wouldn't be so much as relaxed but aroused but right now I am feeling just sick enough that I do relax... I find comfort in the scent of the water and his body. "Mmmm..."

I start to massage his shoulders and feel his body relax against me. "That's it..." I smile. "Just sleep tonight...okay...?

[ersatzach]

"Okay," I say. It's rare for us but... I think I do need to rest. "Sorry..."

[chris_w_pine]

"Why on Earth are you sorry? You need to rest," I say and kiss his shoulder. "We can cuddle and connect that way."

[ersatzach]

"That does sound nice..." I say.

[chris_w_pine]

"Okay. I'll be right back." I get out of bed quickly and get the fireplace going. As soon as I do...the animals stream in to sit around the fireplace. "Okay...let's get our cuddle on and keep you warm."

[ersatzach]

He gets back in bed and wraps me in his arms. "Mmm... that's better..."

[ersatzach]

I look up at the tv. "I wasn't really paying attention but it appears we're watching The Princess Diaries 2." I grin.

[chris_w_pine]

I look at the screen and... "Ohmyfuckinggodweare," I say. There I am with my really big hair.

[ersatzach]

"Look how adorable you are," I say.

[ersatzach]

"What were you going for with that?" I giggle.

[chris_w_pine]

"Uh...well...nondescripteuropean..." I say sheepishly.

[ersatzach]

"It is what I call it...you're the most cute..."

[chris_w_pine]

"You're feverish..." I laugh. We actually watch the movie. "More adorable than Anne? Because she's awfully cute."

[ersatzach]

"Anne does seem sweet," I smile.

[chris_w_pine]

"She got drunk one night at dinner and tried to set me up with her brother," I laugh. "She was texting him and he was seeing someone at the time and just told her to go home and sleep it off."

[ersatzach]

"Me too..." I say. "I'm not feeling so hot... I'm gonna close my eyes..."

[chris_w_pine]

"Here..." I say and reach over to the nightstand for some of the medicine and a bottle of water. "Take this and then sleep, okay, baby?" I help him take the pills and drink some water then get him settled in. "Sleep now..." I whisper.

[ersatzach]

"You're so good to me," I say as I start to drift off. "I love you..."

[chris_w_pine]

"I love you..." I press a kiss to the top of his head. As he falls asleep, I flip away from the Princess Diaries and look for a movie to watch. I turn the volume down so I can listen to him breathing.

I sleep on and off and every time I wake up Chris wakes up too and makes sure I have what I need. I wake up for good at around 8 am. "Mmmmm..."

[chris_w_pine]

I feel him stir in my arms and it wakes me. I rub the sleep out of my eyes. "Hey..." I mumble. "Are you okay?"

[ersatzach]

"Maybe some coffee... eggs?" I ask. "I'm a little hungry... and you look tired."

[chris_w_pine]

"Nah," I say with a dismissive shake of my head but he cocks an eyebrow at me. "A little...but coffee and food will help." I kiss him softly.

[ersatzach]

"Soft boiled, please," I smile.

[chris_w_pine]

"Okay, baby," I say softly and kiss his lips. "Good morning, darling."
