"Are the twins okay with taking medicines?"

"Not really, good thing is, this fever reducing med tastes like strawberries. I actually taste it the first time I had to give it to them.  It tastes good."

She gave the cup to me and urged me to give it to my sweet princess.   In all honesty,  I am a little worried because this is the first time that I am going to deal with a sick kid, let alone my sick little daughter.

"Princess, can you show daddy how you take your medicine?"

"I don't want med'cine daddy, is yucky!"  She whined, scrunching her nose.

I look at Maine, right now, I will just say forget it, if my princess doesn't want it, then she'll not having it, but she gave me a nod on the head, urging me to make Katie take it.

"Mommy said, this one tastes like strawberries."  I coaxed.

"I don' wan' it daddy."  She cried.

"Do you want to play with Enzo, Uncle D and Auntie Angel tomorrow?"

She nodded.

"Well how can you if you don't feel well?  Remember Uncle D promised that you will ride the big ferris wheel tomorrow?"

She nodded again and pouted, "oh-kay,  I wiw take the med'cine, daddy."  She takes the cup from me and drink all the syrup in the cup.  She made a very cute silly face,  while Maine snapped a photo. 

"There,  that's my strong princess!"  I hugged her so tight and kissed the top of her head. 

"Mommy can I have wat'r?"

"Yes you can sweetie,  you are so brave,  mommy and daddy are so proud of you."  Maine tells our daughter, caressing the top of her head.

"Daddy, what's a little peanut?"

"Huh?"

"You said, mommy has a little peanut?"

"Oh dear!"

"Oh that, I am going to let mommy taste some little peanuts tomorrow sweetie."  

"If I feel better tomorrow, can I taste it too?"

"Yes you can sweetie, just feel better."  I cupped her head, pressing it on my lips, giving it a lingering kiss.

My kids are so smart!

"Hon, put her down on the bed, she'll not wake up." I heard Maine's voice telling me.

I open my eyes, and the face of my beautiful fiancée is the first thing I saw

"Are you sure? I don't want her to wake up again. She's fine right here." We are all in our bed, Maine, Katie and I. Katie is sleeping on my chest and I can heat her lightly snoring.

We've been up mostly all night, until the medicine has taken effect, and then Katie fell asleep but she wouldn't let us put her back on her bed.  So we decided to just take her to our bedroom,  but then she wouldn't let me put her down to our bed too.  Hence, the sleeping on my chest.
