Care for me

Dom sighed as he walked up the stairs, he needed to go get a file before he could go and catch up with Joy.

"Dom, Dom, do me a favour, take this, go check Natasha's temperature, and I got her some tea" said Lulu as she handed Dom a thermometer and a flask.

"Why can't you do it yourself Lulu?" asked Dom in confusion.

"I really need to pee right now, I am even wasting time here explaining to you, just do it" said Lulu as she rushed in the opposite direction and Dom shook his head, sometimes he wondered if Lulu would ever grow up.

Dom just walked into Natasha's room as Natasha was sitting in bed, as if she was thinking.

"Where is Lulu?" asked Natasha in a muffled voice as she sniffed.

"She needed to pee, so she sent me in here" said Dom as Natasha blew her nose and she groaned.

"How do you feel?" asked Dom as he gave Natasha the thermometer and she put it in her mouth.

"Horrible" replied Natasha as she could not remember the last time that she was sick, this was just so horrible, everywhere hurt and her bones were aching.

"You hate being sick" said Dom as he removed the thermometer from her mouth and he frowned, her temperature was still too high.

"Who doesn't?" replied Natasha as Dom handed her the flask and she drank the tea as Dom placed the back of his hand on her forehead.

"You are burning" said Dom.

"No, I am freezing" replied Natasha in sarcasm as she held her blanker closer to herself, she was actually freezing though.

"You have a fever" said Dom as he was worried, he did not think that it was this serious, but she was so hot.

"I don't care, I'm freezing" said Natasha as Dom removed her blanket.

"No, no, bring it back" said Natasha as she was freezing, but Dom did not listen to her at all, he folded her blanket and put it in her closet as he brought out one of the bedsheets.

"Use that, I am going to call Doctor Freddie" said Dom as Natasha covered herself with the bedsheet.

"No I'm fine" replied Natasha.

"Natasha, don't be stubborn, you have a fever and you are shivering" said Dom.

"Don't act like you care for me all of a sudden" said Natasha with a scoff as she shivered.

"Of course I care for you, you are Joy's mother, and if Joy was here, she would agree with me" said Dom.

"I don't need you to come here and pretend like you care for me" said Natasha.

"I am calling Doctor Freddie" said Dom.

"Don't you dare" said Natasha with a glare as Dom sighed and he walked out of the room as Natasha scoffed, of course, he didn't listen to her, how could she had expected him to actually respect what she wanted to do.

Dom walked back into the room a few minutes later with a bowl of warm water and a cloth as he dipped the cloth in the water and he squeezed the cloth.

"What are you doing?" asked Natasha in confusion.

"If you don't want me to call Doctor Freddie, then this is the next best thing" said Dom as he placed the cloth on Natasha's forehead.

"Just leave me alone, It's that easy" said Natasha with a scoff as she drank her tea.

"I'm not that heartless Natasha" said Dom.

"I told you, don't pretend like you care, you don't, you never cared" said Natasha.

"That's not true Natasha, I did care, you know that I did, and you know why I stopped, but it was wrong on my part" said Dom as Natasha scoffed, she could not take this.

"I don't want you caring, we are on our own you know" said Natasha.

"I'm sorry Natasha, I will keep on repeating it until you realize that I am truly sorry" said Dom.

"And I will keep on telling you the same thing" said Natasha as she drank her tea as her phone rang and she picked it up.

"Hi Chloe" said Natasha with a sniff.

"Yes, I am sick" said Natasha.

"Oh I forgot about that meeting" said Natasha.

"It's fine Natasha, we will reschedule" said Chloe.

"But no, this is the third time we've rescheduled, the meeting should go on, I will be there" said Natasha.

"You are not going anywhere Natasha, not like this" said Dom as Natasha ignored him.

"Natasha really, I will handle it, don't worry just focus on getting better" said Chloe.

"No, this is unprofessional" said Natasha as Dom took her phone.

"Hey!" said Natasha in anger as she turned around to quickly and her head started to shake.

"Hi Chloe, don't listen to Natasha, do what you need to do, Natasha is not going anywhere" said Dom.

"Alright, tell her to get well soon" said Chloe.

"Will do" said Dom as he ended the call.

"You had no right, no right to take my phone like that" said Natasha.

"Natasha, you can't be serious, you need to rest, you are not going anywhere, I won't let you go anywhere" said Dom as Natasha scoffed.

"Give me my phone you… you… Mr. White give me my phone or else" said Natasha in anger as Dom sighed and gave her phone to her.

"Don't you ever try that nonsense again" said Natasha in a frown.

"Alright, I am sorry, but you shouldn't not get so worked up, It will only make you feel worse" said Dom.

"You make me feel worse, you just being here is worse" said Natasha as Dom sighed.

"Where is Joy?" asked Natasha with a sniff.

"She went to Neil's house to see the puppy" said Dom as Natasha's phone beeped as she saw she had a message from Pete.

"How are you Natasha?" asked Pete.

"I am horrible Pete, I am sick" replied Natasha.

"Ouch, get better soon" said Pete as Natasha smiled.

"I will" replied Natasha.

"So how was your date son of the law? Was it another psycho lady?" asked Natasha.

"Well no, my date went well, I went out with Lia, and I like her" replied Pete.

"You owe me money, I set the two of you up, call me to plan the wedding" replied Natasha.

"Slow down Natasha, it's just one date not a proposal" said Pete as Natasha laughed.

"Right" said Natasha.

"Get well Nat, I have to go now" said Pete.

"Thanks Pete" replied Natasha as she smiled and put her phone down as Dom wondered who she was talking to that got her in such a happy mood all of a sudden, but he did not dare ask, he knew that she would tell him it was none of his business, which it was not.

…

"Ethan I have to now, my daddy isn't here yet" said Joy as she petted Pluto for one last time as Pluto barked.

"Well alright then dummy, see you" said Ethan as he made Pluto stay while he and Joy walked to the front of his house and he took off the garbage bag and oven mitts on her hands.

"Thank you for letting me see Pluto Ethan" said Joy with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah, you are welcome" replied Ethan.

"See you later Ethan" said Joy with a giggle as she ran back in the direction of her house.

…

Joy opened the front door as she rushed straight to the bathroom to wash her hands, just in case she got some fur on them.

Joy dried her hands with a towel as she ran up the stairs to see Natasha.

"Mommy, mommy, do you feel better?" asked Joy as she entered into Natasha's room to see Dom and Natasha there together.

"I feel better my darling, thank you" said Natasha with a smile as Joy climbed into her bed.

"But why Is there a wet cloth on your head mommy?" asked Joy.

"That's to keep me cool my darling" said Natasha with a smile as Joy looked at Dom who nodded assuring Dom that everything was okay.

"My darling, don't stay so close to me, I don't want you catching what I have" said Natasha with a smile.

"It's better for one of us to be sick than all of us, whose going to take care of who when we are all sick?" asked Natasha as she laughed.

"Okay mommy" said Joy as she nodded and she got off the bed.

"Is this better mommy?" asked Joy.

"Much better my darling" said Natasha with a smile.

"I heard you went to go see the puppy at Ethan's house" said Natasha as she blew her nose.

"I did mommy, and Ethan said that his daddy said he could keep the puppy, and the puppy is a girl" said Joy excitedly.

"Ethan said that she is an America eskisis dog" said Joy as Dom and Natasha laughed.

"It's Eskimo my princess, an American Eskimo Dog" said Dom with a smile as he corrected her.

"Yes a Eskimo dog, thank you daddy" said Joy with a smile as Dom smiled at her.
