Lauren Holiday knew there was something up with her when she woke up Friday morning. She felt tired, even though she had plenty of sleep the night before. She shrugged it off and got ready.

After she got ready she made her way down to Moe and Kling's room. Kling opened the door. "Hey Lauren!" she greeted. "You here to see Moe?"

Lauren nodded. Moe came to the door a few minutes later. "Hey Mama," Moe said. "You ready for this week??"

This week the girls had off and Moe was coming home with Lauren to see Jrue. Lauren smiled and nodded. "Hey, is everything alright?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"I'm sure Moe."

The two of them headed to Lauren's room to hang out. Throughout the day, Lauren kept drifting off, being awoken by Moe shaking her arm or yelling her name. Moe eventually gave up and told Lauren to get some sleep, and that she would wake her up later. Lauren fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The next day, Lauren felt even more tired as she and Moe got on the plane. Moe was begining to get worried at this point. She slept the entire flight and Moe woke her up as they were landing. "Laur, you okay?" she asked.

"Just tired Moe."

"Okay, well the plane's about to land."

"Okay."

When the planed landed Moe helped Lauren up. She looked awful. They walked outside and found Jrue there to pick them up. "Hey MoMo!" he said, giving her a hug. "Hey Laur."

He kissed the top of her head. He brought both of them into his arms. "I grabbed your stuff, I knew which ones they were, let's get home."

When they got home, Moe and Lauren both went upstairs to put their stuff up. Moe walked into Lauren and Jrue's room to find her lying down. "Laur, you gotta stay up," she said gently. "You won't sleep if you don't."

She groaned and sat up, leaning her head on Moe's shoulder. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine Moe, just tired."

Moe sighed and faced her. "Laur, tell me if you start feeling bad."

"I will, don't worry so much."

Jrue called them downstairs. "Who's ready to go out?" he asked.

"We are!" both girls said at once.

The three got into the car, Lauren shotgun, Jrue driving, and Moe in the back. Lauren rested her head on the window. "You okay babe?" Jrue asked.

"Yeah, I'm just sleepy."

He rubbed her back then turned back to the rode. "Moe guess where we're going."

"Where Papa?"

"The Italian restaurant with the great macaroons!"

"YES!"

Lauren laughed at the two. They pulled into the Italian restaurant and got out. They sat down soon enough, and the waiter came and took their orders for drinks and food. While they waited, Jrue asked about how everything had been.

"It was really fun," Lauren said. "Moe did great."

"Thanks Laur, but you were amazing."

"Aw so were you."

Jrue chuckled. "My girls."

After they had finished eating, they ordered macaroons for dessert. Moe realized Lauren wasn't eating her's. She shrugged it off and continued eating her own. As soon as they finished and boxed Lauren's for later, they drove home. Lauren immeadiately crashed into bed and fell asleep. Moe chuckled at her then went downstairs to see Jrue watching basketball.

"Hey Papa," she said.

"Hey MoMo, is Laur asleep?"

"Yeah."

"I'm getting worried about her, she usually doesn't sleep this much."

"I'm a little worried too, but I'm sure she's fine. We did have an awful lot of training yesterday."

"That's true. So how are you?"

"I'm doing good, you?"

"Pretty good myself."

Moe's phone went off in her lap.

<Al>

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know, Tobin caught a nasty stomach bug. I don't mean to alarm anyone, but I'm just warning you guys in case, since we were all super close those last few days of training

<JJ>

Awww poor thing! Tell her I hope she feels better!

<Christie>

You better take care of my girlfriend Morgan

<Al>

I am, don't worry Pres

<Moe>

Hope she feels better!

Moe looked up to see Jrue staring at her. "I swear I'm going to have to take that thing away from you."

Moe chuckled. "Sorry, Tobin just caught some stomach bug and Alex was warning everyone."

"Leave it to Alex to warn everyone on the team."

"Haha yeah."

After a few more minutes of watching basketball and Moe constantly checking her phone, Jrue said he was heading to bed. Moe decided to do the same. She fell asleep almost instantly.

...

Moe woke up to shuffling outside her door. She was a very light sleeper and even this woke her up. She sat up a little and looked at her phone on the nightstand, it was 2 am. She groaned and sat up, deciding to investigate the shuffling.

She opened the door but saw no one there. She then heard a sound she dreaded, someone throwing up.

She walked slowly to the bathroom, knocking on the door gently. "Laur? Is that you?"

She heard a gag before a weak, "Yeah."

"Can I come in?"

"Sure."

Moe opened the door to find Lauren curled up into a ball, leaning against the bath tub. "Oh Laur."

She sat down next to her, placing a hand on her forehead and cheek. "Geez Laur," she said, pulling away. "You're burning up."

Lauren suddenly shot up and threw up again. Moe grabbed her hair and held it behind her head. She took her other hand and rubbed circles on her back.

When Lauren finished Moe grabbed a wash cloth and wiped her face. "You done Laur?"

She nodded weakly and Moe scooped her up. She brought her to her room, so they wouldn't wake up Jrue. She put a trashcan by her bed and laid next to Lauren. Lauren snuggled up to her, Moe's arm wrapping around her. "If you get sick don't hesitate to wake me up."

She felt Lauren nod against her stomach. She rubbed her back a bit before dozing off.

Moe woke up five more times before six that night with Lauren getting sick. She made sure to get two trashcans so that when she threw up she could wash one and not be worried about her getting sick again.

At six Jrue woke up to shower. At this point both girls had just decided to reside in the bathroom, and he walked in on Lauren curled into a ball, leaning on Moe for support. "Moe? What happened?" he asked, getting next to them.

"She got sick, I think she caught the same bug as Tobin."

Jrue placed his hand on her neck, wincing at the amount of heat coming off of her. "I'm gonna get a thermometer," he said. "You good?"

"I'm good."

Jrue left the room and Lauren threw up. He came back while she was in the middle of it. He rubbed her back while Moe held up her hair. When she finished she rinsed out her mouth and Jrue had her put the thermometer in her mouth. When it rang he took it out. "103, geez, Lauren."

He scooped her up and asked Moe to get the trashcan. She did and brought it to the couple's room. Jrue was stroking his fingers through her hair. "Thanks Moe," he said, taking the trashcan.

As soon as the trashcan reached her, Lauren threw up. Jrue sighed, it was going to be a long few days.

A few days later, Lauren was feeling better, unfortunately...

"MoMo? Is that you?"

"Yeah, Lauren I threw up."

"Oh boy..."
