A laugh escaped her lips as she nodded, murmuring a word of gratitude before rolling through the door and heading to the table, resting the tray for the cake lightly atop it. "Dessert time!"

Drake smiled and sat next to Janice, "Wakey, Wakey, Sleepy head. Dessert's here!" he poked the girl gently in her arm then smiled up at Chloe, "Want to cut it?"

Chloe giggled, nodding. "Sounds good to me. And don't even bother- she won't wake until she's ready. Which'll be in a couple minutes after she smells the food more easily."

Drake laughed lightly, "Alrighties." he took the knife and started cutting it, "Hand me a plate, please." he said and started lifted a piece of the pastry up on the knife he cut it with and held it up on one side with a finger.

She nodded happily, holding up a plate for him. "One plate, as you asked."

"Thank you." Drake smiled and placed a piece on it, "Here you go" he passed the plate back to Chloe and picked up a different one to put a piece on it for himself.

Chloe smiled simply, nodding. "Thank you." She then looked to the food, taking a small bit. She noticed Janice stir in her sleep, but not wake up. "She looks exhausted. I'm sort of worried now..."

"She's been running around all day, and yesterday, it may just be that she's exhausted." Drake said and looked from Janice to Chloe, "Or she may be sick, would you like the doctor to take a look at her?"

Chloe got out from under the table and rolled over to Janice, putting the back of her hand against her forehead. Frowning, she looked to Drake and nodded. "She's warm, so I'd rather be safe than sorry. Would it be alright?"

"Of course it would be alright, that's what he's here for." Drake said, "Want me to carry her, or do you want to take her up to the doctor's office on your lap?" his voice stayed calm although he was worried for Janice.

"Um... Can you carry her? I'm sorry... If I were to hold her in my lap, I couldn't move, so you'd end up having to help both of us. It'd be easier if you just carried her, no?" She smiled to him weakly, getting out from the table and rolling over to try to help Janice at least wake up a little bit.

"I can carry her." Drake nodded and also went over to Janice "Hey, little one, time to wake up." he laughed lightly then smiled at Chloe.

Janice waved it off and continued to sleep. Chloe frowned and looked at Drake. "We should hurry."

"Indeed" Drake said and lifted Janice, slowly and carefully. "Can you press the button for the elevator?" Drake asked Chloe as he entered the hallway sideways from the door to the dining room.

Chloe nodded, already ahead of him in thought and pressing the button as he spoke. When the elevator opened, she rolled in and made sure to keep the door open for him. "What floor is it again?"

"I believe it was the 3rd floor." Drake said and stepped to the corner of the elevator.

Chloe nodded, pressing the button to floor three before just watching lights at the top change as they moved to different floors.

Drake waited patiently as the elevator reached the 3rd floor, once there he stayed in the elevator giving Chloe time to get off the elevator first.

Chloe nodded, getting off and murmuring a soft thank you. "Which way is it from here?"

Drake followed her off, nodding slightly at her thanks. Then softly he jerked his head left and said, "This Way, Left." He started walking at a brisk pace in the direction, reaching the office in about thirty seconds. He walked through the door and called the doctor over, "We've got a problem here, doc." The doctor came from his desk stead fastly and had Drake place Janice on one of the beds.

The Doctor checked her pulse, her temperature, dilation of the eyes, color of the tongue, her breathing and blood pressure. He tried to hook Janice up to an IV and a oxygen mask as safety precautions.

"Is she going to be alright, doctor? What's wrong? I've never seen her like this before... I'm really worried..." She was as worried as any mother would be, watching her daughter carefully.

(i was hoping you'd put what she got as readings for those things. xD )

"She's got a bit of a fever and her breathing is a little bit slower and shallower than it should be for REM sleep. A day or two in here, and some antibiotics and she'll be fine," the doctor smiled and looked at Drake.

He went over to Chloe and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

Chloe wanted to say something, but she didn't even know what it was. She stared at her lap, startled. She couldn't remember the last time Janice had gotten sick. She hadn't noticed any signs of ailment in the girl earlier on until she didn't wake up for food. She'd seemed fine. How could Chloe not have noticed? Pathetic... I can't even see a difference in my own daughter when she's sick...

"She'll be fine" Drake said and rubbed her shoulder lightly. "It's probably just a case of the sniffles" he looked to the doctor with the question 'Will she be okay?' splattered across his face.

The doctor looked from Drake to Janice and back to Drake again, he nodded his head in agreement that it was just a case of sniffles.

(godmodish?)

((Eh? I don't see any noticeable god-moding. Am I missing it? o_O))

A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she murmured a soft word of gratitude that it was just sniffles and nothing much more severe. "Thank you, doctor. I'm glad to know it isn't anything too big..."
