"Oh," Derek said suddenly realizing, he just hadn't thought of that.  Not
with his own "illness."

"No," he admitted.  "It hasn't arrived yet, but...I'm feeling better.
Really," he added wanting her to know that he wasn't just saying that.

Just then someone knocked on the front door and Julia smiled a little and
kissed his cheek "Go take the medicine and them come back so I can wash your
back."

"That is.. if you want me too." she added with a little wink.  Her stomach
was settling down, thankfully, and color was returning to Derek's face.  But
that didn't mean he had to skip taking medicine that would keep him feeling
better.  She 'shooed' him to go take it and backed toward the shower door,
slipping off the blanket and tossing it at him before chuckling and closing
the door behind her and stepping underneath the heated water.  She closed
her eyes and turned her face up to the spray, the warmth making her feel
better as well.
