"Mr. Hilton. There is a call for you on line one" my assistant comes in and says. When I ask her who it is from, she says that it's from Lilly's school. Quickly I pick it up, of course I do because they would only call me if they can't get ahold of Juliet.

"Hello. Is this Mr. Hilton? Miss Lilliana Hilton's stepfather?" The man says who introduces himself as the school nurse. "Yes, this is him. Did something happen to Lilliana?" I ask and bounce a knee. A nurse wouldn't call unless something was wrong.

"We need someone to come pick Miss Lilliana up from school. She is sick and has been throwing up, so she is excused from school until she feels better" the nurse says and tells me that they tried to get ahold of Juliet, but she isn't picking up. "I will try to get ahold of her mother, but if I can't, I will come pick her up shortly," I say and hang up.

I've never been around when Lilly has been sick before, she seems like a pretty healthy girl, so this makes me nervous. But of course, I need to pick her up if I can't get ahold of Juliet. I head over to Selena and ask where she is. But Selena says that Juliet is stuck in a meeting that she can't get out of. "Okay. Then I will go pick up Lilly. I don't want her to be with the nanny when she is sick" I tell her and tell my assistant to cancel the rest of my day.

There were probably important things I need to do today at work, but Lilly came before work. She is family and I don't want her to be without either her mother or me when she is sick. I know I'm not her father, but I like the fact that I'm her stepfather.

I get to the school and find the nurse's office and knock on the door. A male opens the door and introduces himself as the nurse that I talked with earlier. Lilly is curled up on a chair and I go over and kiss the top of her head. "Really to go home princess?" I ask her and she whimpers but nods. The girl is not feeling good.

The nurse hands me her backpack and I take Lilly's little hand in mine as we walk to the car. She doesn't say much but she holds my hand tightly.

The whole way to the apartment she holds my hand and leans her head on my shoulder in the backseat. It makes me sad to see her like this, usually she is so bubbly and a firecracker.

We get to the apartment and when we get inside, I take her up to her room "How about we get some cuddly clothes? Take your temperature to see if you have a fever before we cuddle and watch a movie?" I ask her and she nods.

I get a pair of pajama pants and a plain t-shirt out of her closet and put it on her bed. "Can you change on your own or do you need help?" I ask her but she wraps her arms around my legs and sniffles against me. "Willy, it hurts" she whines. This girl isn't someone who usually whines, she must be in a lot of discomfort. After holding me for a little bit she asks for help, so we get her uniform off before getting her in her comfy clothes.

Just as we get her in her clothes she vomits, and it gets on her making her sob "It's okay Lilly. Let's get the clothes off again and get you in the shower" I coo her and pick her up under her armpits to get her into the bathroom because she has vomit on her feet and legs.

Putting her down next to the shower I turn it on and help her strip again. "Willy my tummy" she cries and I'm about to start crying too. Seeing her in pain is painful for me too. I don't want my little girl to be in pain... well she isn't mine... but she feels like she is... I don't know.... But I like the idea of it. It's terrifying but it's also heartwarming. She is so special to me, and I don't want to lose her.

"Do you need help in the shower princess? Or do you want privacy?" I ask her before we take her underwear off. Of course, I don't want to make her uncomfortable, she is a little girl, and I don't want to make her uncomfortable. "Help me, Willy. I don't want to be alone" she cries, and I take that as consent.
