Going anywhere at the moment sounded horrible! The room was spinning
slightly and he just didn't think he could manage.  He could see the worry
in Julia's eyes though.  "If you really think I need something....call down
to the desk and have it sent up."

Julia adjusted the blanket around her and went to the phone next to the
couch, reaching out with her fingers to gently trace against his forehead as
she spoke to the manager at the front desk.  No fever at least.

"Thanks." she ended the call and hung up bent to kiss his forehead "They're
bringing it right up, just relax for a little bit."

She traced the back of her fingers against his cheek and straightened, only
to swallow as Amelia decided to start doing what seemed to be the Olympic
swimming dash, if there was such a thing. And because it would probably
worry Derek she kept it to herself and gave him a half smile before heading
toward the bathroom with the excuse of starting the hot water for the
shower.  She did hope he didn't notice the fact she closed the door to
'start the hot water'.
