up.
As tired and sick as Eric and I start feeling, the two kids seem to be getting more energetic, more well by the second.
“Great,” I moan sarcastically, “it’s a miracle, they’re getting better.”
“I’ll call the nanny,” Eric offers.
“Oh no you won’t!” I call out, watching Joseph tottering off to his closet and Megan curling up in a blanket instead, both losing interest in the story and both looking like they’re nowhere near going back to sleep.
“One, it’s too late to call. And two…” I start to tell Eric, but lose my train of thought.
“Oh my god! What’s wrong with me? I never get sick, this is terrible.”
Little Joseph reappears from his closet, dressed in his doctor’s outfit. The one we got him for his birthday, it has a little stethoscope and thermometer, the whole bit.
“Down mommy, daddy, ” He tells us both. “Doctor look at you.”
I look to Eric, who’s already stretched out, ready for his exam. His eyes meet mine as he shrugs, laughing to himself.
“What are you waiting for, this is free health care and this kid just cured himself, I’m having what he had!” he exclaims, and although it hurts, I laugh out loud and get down on all fours, climbing into their little fort, snuggling up next to Eric as Dr. Joseph casts his eye over us both.
“Thick,” he proclaims, after a thorough sweeping of his oversized plastic thermometer and a quick listen of daddy’s chest.
“You stay here, we look after you,” he announces, grinning.
“Sounds good to me,” Eric murmurs, closing his eyes and drawing a blanket up over us both.
I’m not sure if he’s really that tired or just pretending for the kids, but I gladly burrow into him a bit deeper, feeling my eyes grow heavy with the sounds of Megan and Joseph as they work medical miracles, turning their room upside-down as their dad and I get a little much needed sleep in between thinking about how we’ll fare dealing with two little monsters if both of us are under the weather for a few days.
“Are you awake?” I ask, Eric, and he makes a single sound that tells me he is, barely.
“We caught what they had,” I tell him, stating the obvious.
“Uh huh,” he groans, “came on like a son of a bitch,” he murmurs.
“Daddy!” cries Megan. “No bad words,” and I feel Eric putting his hand over his mouth before letting it drop back around me, pulling me a little closer.
“I love you, baby. All of you,” Eric says louder, so we can all hear him. “Sick or not, I love you all and thank goodness we have a doctor in the house,”
“In sickness and in health, right?” I ask dreamily, reaching my hand out for Joseph, who slumps down next to me and I cover him up with our shared blanket, hearing Megan shuffle in on her dad’s side.
“For richer or poorer,” Eric chimes and I have to snort a laugh, I can’t help it.
“Yeah, not so much of the poorer I’m noticing, here’s hoping it stays that way.”
I feel Eric’s arms shifting, and we all squeal a little, then sigh as he holds us all in his huge arms as he growls, telling us all he loves us one more time.
All three of us, with him making four snuggled tight in one big warm cocoon. The sounds of the kids breathing getting shallow as they calm down then drift off to sleep again, followed by Eric’s own sounds of sleep makes me feel like the luckiest, happiest, most blessed woman alive.
Close to my man.
Close to my babies.
Closest to heaven on earth.
