William frowned when Sarah-Gabrielle sneezed after coughing a few times. Carefully, he leaned down and placed his lips on her forehead, feeling her temperature. He frowned. "Does she feel warm to you?" he asked Mike, concerned.

Mike touched her forehead. "A little. I'm not too sure what's the right temperature for a baby's forehead, but she might have a fever..." He chewed on his bottom lip. "Great, just when the doctor leaves."

William frowned and started waddling towards the door, hoping to find the doctor. He walked up the road looking for the doctor and shouted once he saw the man. The doctor immediately turned around and came back towards the house.

Mike felt even more nervous, thinking that maybe the doctor would find out what he had done. What would William say? Instead of hiding, however, he stayed close to his boyfriend.

As the doctor approached William, he immediately put his hand to the baby's head, somehow knowing why she was crying. He thought for a moment before frowning. "I think she might have a cold," he said quietly.

Mike faked an utterly confused expression, mixed with concern he did have. "Does she need medication? What do they have for babies?"

"If the coughing and sneezing gets worse, then you should call me back. But for right now, bundle them all up in blankets, keep them warm, and feed all three well." William nodded, listening as his daughter continued to cry.

Mike nodded, hoping it would simply cure itself. He touched his daughter's nose, cold compared to her forehead and cheeks. "Should have been careful."

William nodded at the doctor as the man left again. William waddled as quickly as he could to get Sarah-Gabrielle back into the house, making sure that Mike followed.

Mike indeed followed, peeking over William's shoulder to look at their child. Calm down, Bill. If you start getting stressed I won't know what to do.

William frantically looked around the room for anything to wrap all three children in. He made sure to take deeper breaths to make sure that he didn't panic.
