Sick.

Divean was getting ready for work when Snow suddenly sprung up from sleep. She looked around to see him look back at her.

"Morning " he smiled.

Snow blinked trying to figure out something.

He chuckled walking to the bed.

Snow's eyes widened and she fell back in bed pulling the covers tightly over her head.

"If you don't get up now, you will be late for your meeting," he said.

"Okay you can leave " she murmured from under the covers.

"This is my room and am not done getting ready " he said.

She felt his weight leave the bed and the sound of his footsteps walk away.

Snow got out of bed quietly and rushed to the door.

Divean looked back when he heard the door close, he chuckled.

.....

Snow seemed absent-minded the whole day at work, like her mind was somewhere else.

During lunch break Patty questioned her.

"Are you okay?" Patty finally asked her.

Snow nodded.

"You don't, you haven't even noticed all the mistakes you have been making all day" she let out.

"Huh?"Snow blinked.

Patty sighed.

"Was he angry with you for drinking?" she asked.

Snow placed aside her fork.

"No he wasn't..." she said.

"That's great...we thought he would, " the one seated next to Patty said.

"Boss is strict but I guess it's with his wife " they all giggled.

Snow smiled.

"Last night was great especially when the boss defended Patty "

That's right last night Snow had slapped Lydia, she had wanted to hurt her even a little after what she had done. But now she felt it wasn't a good choice of action. What if Lydia decided to come for her like Carol did?

Snow frowned, if Tom knew who Snow was then why didn't Lydia doo I?. That meant what Carol said was true that Tom was just using her for his needs.

Snow noticed the silence around her and looked up to see her friends all quiet. All eyes looking behind her.

She turned to see her husband.

"You haven't touched your food?" he asked.

"Oh..I...am not that hungry," she said."what are you doing here?"

"Looking for you?" he said.

Snow stood up,"Is something wrong?"

He nodded.

"what?".

"Me?" he answered.

She frowned but he took her hand and placed it on his forehead.

"You're burning up!"

He nodded again.

"I think am sick " he said.

"Ahh..you think. You are sick " she frowned.

She turned grabbed her phone then his hand and led him away.

"Sorry guys need to go " she mumbled as they left.

.....

"Constance " Divean called.

Snow looked back at him, they were in the car heading home from the hospital. She had dragged him there got him checked and got the prescribed drugs.

"Feeling uncomfortable?" she asked.

"You didn't eat anything since morning," he said.

"Am not hungry, I will when I feel like " she said loosening his tie.

"But..." she stopped him.

"No buts lay back and rest, we are almost home," she said. His temperature was getting higher.

The doctor had said it would lower when the drugs took effect.

When they got home, he took a shower and got in bed on her orders.

His mother brought in some food for him. She fed him and then his medication.

He could feel his whole body ache but was too drowsy to fully feel it.

"How is he now?" his mother asked.

"Better, his temperature is back to normal," she said.

She had been watching over him while he slept.

"Am glad he has you by his side " she let out as she left.

Snow smiled and looked down at the sleeping man.

He had done a lot for her, more than she had expected, so this was nothing.

Am the lucky one to be by his " she muttered taking his hand.

Snow woke up when her hand was tagged on. Opening her eyes she looked up to Divean who was groaning in his sleep tightly holding on her hand.

"Please don't leave me..." he cried out.

"Ahh..." she moved closer fo him, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"We can't go on without you " he muttered.

Snow frowned seeing a tear flow down his face.

"Am right here, Divean. I won't go anywhere " she answered.

Her fingers brushed against his cheek wiping the tears.

His eyes slowly opened, those deep blue eyes filled with tears.

Snow got closer, "Am right here " her voice low and calm.

He breathed raising his hand to touch her face.

She smiled.

"Snow " he smiled.

"Yes "

"Snow " he called again.

"Yeah "his eyes filled with a warmth.

"Snow " he repeated.

She chuckled.

"Am right here, Divean " she answered.

His hand pulled her down to his chest hugging her, she felt him trembling.

"Are you cold?" she asked but he didn't answer and kept holding her.

"Divean let me go so I can get you something to warm you up " she mumbled.

The silence was all she got.

She sighed, kicking off her shoes Snow got into bed, and moved back so I could join you. He loosened his arms letting her go.

She pulled the covers over them both and laid him down in her chest, holding him.

"Rest you need it " she whispered to him.

"Snow, don't leave " he muttered.

"I won't I promise," she said to.

His eyes soon closed and he went back to sleep. Snow bent down to his forehead placing a warm kiss.

"Get better soon".
