*Caitlin's POV*

I woke up coughing with a headache. I felt pretty sick as I laid in bed next to Shawn.

He rolled over at the sound of me coughing. "Good morning, ba-" his smile went away when he looked at me, "You look a little sick, love. What's wrong?"

"I'm probably getting sick," I told him, "My throat hurts and I didn't get much sleep last night."

Shawn had a concerned look on his face as he felt my forehead with the back of his hand like my mom used to do. "You might have a fever," Shawn guessed, "Do you want to get up?"

I shook my head no. Shawn continued to give me worried looks.

"Shawn, I'm not dying," I remarked, "You don't need to overly worry yourself."

"Yeah, but I can tell you're in pain and I don't want you to be," Shawn said and sat up, "I'm going to get you some warm tea for your throat."

"You really don't have to," I insisted.

"Caitlin, I know I don't have to. I want to, "I want to help you feel better. I'll be back." He stood and I didn't stop him.

I closed my eyes, my head lying on the pillow. In a few minutes, Shawn was back and I opened my eyes again.

"Did you fall asleep?" he placed a cup down on the nightstand.

"No, I'm just a little out of it," I replied. I slowly started to sit up. Shawn guided me even though he didn't need to and got a couple of pillows to go behind my back. I leaned on them.

"Here, darling," Shawn handed me the cup, "There's some tea and I have some medicine for your headache."

I took them both from him, taking the medicine. "Thanks, baby," I sipped the tea and it helped my sore throat a lot.

"Oh, shoot, Shawn," I remembered something, "Don't you have to go to the studio today?"

"Already took care of it," he mused, sitting down next to me, "I called the guys and told them I was sick and I can't come in."

"Well, that's kind of a lie," I chuckled, but then started to cough.

"Not really. You're sick and I want to take care of you," Shawn spoke.

"You didn't need to call in sick to stay with me," I put in.

"Yes, I did," Shawn smiled and gently put his arm around me, "I didn't want you to be here all by yourself."

I broke in, "What if you get sick?"

"Doesn't matter. As long as I get to be with you." Ugh, he was so sweet. "And I won't get sick," he added.

"Mmhmm," I gave him a "yeah right" look and coughed into my arm.

"Let's watch a movie," Shawn suggested and grabbed the remote. We flipped through Netflix for a while before deciding on something. For the rest of the day, we watched movies and ate snacks. Shawn continued to worry about me and literally not let me do anything for myself.

The next day, I woke up feeling a lot better. I sat up and looked over at Shawn.

"Ugh..." he groaned, looking a little pale.

"Looks like you're sick now," I teased.

"Yeah," he smiled faintly, "It was still worth it though."

Then, the roles were switched as I took care of him.
