"JishJish?" Ruby said as she pushed open the door to his room.

"Oh, no, RuRu," Josh quickly said, picking Ruby up and carrying her outside of the room. "We aren't gonna be in daddies' room today."

"Why not?"

"TyTy's real sick right now," Josh said. "We don't want you getting sick too."

"TyTy's Sick?! We gotta go save him!"

"He's ok," Josh said. "Well... he'll be ok. We don't need to save him."

"I wanna go hug him," Ruby said, getting off of Josh's lap. She waddled to her daddies' room, going to the bathroom and finding her TyTy throwing up in the toilet.

"Ew," she said, her nose scrunched up.

Tyler looked at her, smiling exhaustedly. "You're telling me."

"I bet daddy still thinks you're handsome, though," Ruby said, waddling up to him and sitting in his lap.

"Daddy's very nice," Tyler said. "He always says I'm handsome."

"Because you are," Josh said from the doorway.

Tyler looked up, blushing deeply with a shy smile.

But that soon came to an end when he started throwing up again.

"EWWWWW!" Ruby yelled, getting off of his lap and quickly exiting the room.

"And now that she's gone, I can also say you're even sexy while throwing up, too," Josh smirked.

"Shut up and come hug me," Tyler said.

Josh chuckled and sat down behind him, hugging his husband and kissing down his bare spine. "You're burning up, baby."

"I'm cold," Tyler pouted. "Snuggle me."

"I'm snuggling you!" Josh exclaimed. "The best that I can without getting vomit on me."

Tyler just pouted as he leaned forward and threw up into the toilet again. "Well, we've been together 10 years. Married for four. Maybe I can afford to get your vomit on me at the expense of snuggles."

Tyler wiped his eyes. All the gagging at made tears flood his eyes.

"Awwww, baby," Josh pouted, hugging his husband closely. "I'm sorry you're so sick."

Tyler just leaned back, resting the back of his head against Josh's shoulder.

"You want me to go get you some Gatorade? Saltines?"

Tyler shook his head.

"Baby, you've gotta eat," Josh said. "Throwing up on an empty stomach is 20 times as bad."

"I want you to stay and hold me."

"Ruby can come snuggle with you."

"She thinks I'm gross."

"In her defense, at this point in time, you are kinda gross. But she'll still come snuggle with you."

"I don't want her getting sick too," Tyler said before throwing up once more.

"I gotta go get you something to put on your stomach, baby," Josh said, getting up. "I'll just go to CVS. It'll be quick."

Tyler nodded weakly.

Josh kissed his warm forehead and slid his shoes on. "Hey, RuRu, I'm going to get TyTy some stuff to make him feel better. He really wants a snuggle partner."

"But he's bein' yucky," Ruby said. "He's throwin' up all over the place."

"Well," Josh said. "Yeah, you're right. Puke is kinda gross. Maybe just go talk to him?"

"Ok," Ruby said, getting up and waddling to go see Tyler.

Josh smiled and headed to CVS.

"Why're ya sick, TyTy?" She asked from the other side of the door. Tyler had closed it for her so she wouldn't have to see him puking.

"I dunno," Tyler said.

"Maybe ya ate too much Taco Bell."

"Maybe," Tyler said with a light laugh.

A little while later, Josh returned home with everything.

Tyler ate his crackers and drank his Gatorade as he sat in his husband's lap.

Eventually, three days later, he was feeling ok.

And Ruby would finally snuggle with him.
