Just a little one shot of Eleanor being sick and Helena looking after her :-) Hope you enjoy :-)
Eleanor's Point of View
I woke up with a splitting headache and a killer cough. Pair them with a runny nose and aching limbs and you have the perfect flu. I was in the middle of a choking fit when my bedroom door burst open. I pulled my covers over my head to keep warm and to try and hide from whoever burst in.
"Eleanor, get up." Mum's annoying voice rang out.
"Go away." I mumbled. Sounding hoarser than I thought I would.
"Eleanor I don't have time for this. Get out of that bed right now!" Mum complained.
Next thing I knew my covers were ripped from me. I immediately started to shiver as I curled up into a ball.
"My god you look terrible." Mum exclaimed.
"Thanks for the compliment." I snapped, but I missed the concern in her voice.
Much to my shock I thought I was hallucinating as I felt her hand on my forehead.
"You have a fever." She commented.
"Well I'm bloody freezing so can I have my covers back?" I moaned.
Mum immediately returned them to me as she hovered at my bedside.
"What are you doing?" I questioned as I slowly looked up at her.
"Deciding what to do to make you feel better." Mum replied.
I looked at her unconvinced as I tried to push myself up. However mum stopped me with a gentle push down.
"Stay there." She scolded.
"I wasn't going anywhere and who is the sick one here? Why are you being…..ACHUUUUHHHHH" I Sneezed.
"So nice." I finally managed to finish before another round of sneezing began.
Mum went and got me some tissues before replying.
"To be honest we haven't had a lot in common lately. You do your thing I do mine. All we seem to do is fight in the middle before going back to silence. This reminds me of when you were little and I was the only one who could make you feel better….." Mum trailed off.
"But I suppose you don't remember that. I will have someone bring you something….." Mum added but I cut her off.
"I do remember….It was nice….You brought me…ACHUUUUHHHH" I tried to say.
"Tea and soup with a Wispa Gold bar to make you feel even better." Mum finished for me with a small smile.
A silence fell as we both tried to process the first real conversation we had in what felt like years. Finally I decided to break it.
"Um mum…..I could really murder a Wispa Gold right now." I laughed.
Mum let out a laugh as she nodded.
"Coming up Len and thanks for calling me mum. I hate when you call me Queen or worse." She told me.
"Yeah…..sorry about that." I muttered.
"Forgotten. Now try and get some rest I will be back as soon as the soup is ready." Mum smiled as she headed off.
A short while later I was woken again by a gently shaking. It was mum and she was dressed in something I hadn't seen her wearing in years. Pyjamas. Not only that but she had brought in a giant TV and DVD player for us to watch.
"Here is some headache tablets, your soup, tea and of course a Wispa Gold each." She grinned.
Mum then proceeded to climb into bed beside me as she turned the TV on. As the DVD started I soon recognised it as The Princess's Diaries.
"Thought this seemed appropriate." Mum smirked as I began to drink my soup.
"Always a comedian." I laughed as she hit play.
"Mum what if you get sick too?" I asked as the film began.
"Then we have time to watch the sequel." She smiled.
"I missed this….." I said but mum cut me off.
"Len you're doing what you always do. Stop talking during the film!" Mum joked.
"My lips are sealed." I replied.
Mum opened her arm for me to lean against her and I soon found myself cuddled up against her feeling instantly better.
I really did need my mum to make me feel better, oh and of course the Wipsa Gold she brought with her….
Please let me know your thoughts, hope you enjoyed :-) I really wanted a Wipsa Gold writing this lol
