Lara's POV
"Muma" Alannah shouts causing me to jolt up. I sit up and look around my room to see Alannah was no longer beside me.
I pick my phone up to see it was 3am.
I hadn't long fell asleep. I sit up and rub my eyes before following the faint sounds of cries into the bathroom.
When I open the bathroom door Alannah was rocking on the bathroom floor crying.
There was also sick all over the bathroom floor.
"Hey come here." I say leaning down and hugging her.
"Muma I don't feel well." She says and I nod.
"Come on let me help you brush your teeth." I say helping her stand up.
She stumbles slightly so I pick her up and put her on my hip.
I brush her teeth before taking her back into bed. I put the back off my hand on her head to feel she had a temperature.
"Do you want some medicine?" I ask and she nods.
"Alright I'll go get it just stay here okay." I say and she smiles weakly.
I walk downstairs quietly so that I don't wake up Nicole and David.
I go into the kitchen and grab some kitchen supplies. I then also grab some medicine before heading back upstairs.
I go into my room and see Alannah lying in bed. I put the cleaning supplies down on my desk and then sit beside Alannah.
I help her take her medicine and once she takes her medicine she falls to sleep almost instantly.
I head into the bathroom with the kitchen supplies and begin to clean the sick up.
I'm just thankful she didn't throw up in our room. I get on my knees and begin to scrub the bathroom floor till it's back white.
When I finished cleaning the bathroom it was easily 4am. I get into bed beside Alannah and she was still Asleep.
I felt her head to see she still had a temperature. She cuddles into my arm sending me to sleep.
I wake up to my alarm and sigh. As soon as I switch my alarm off Alannab jolts up and tries to get to the bathroom. I sigh as I watch her little legs run into the bathroom.
She actually threw up in the toilet this time which is good.
I follow after her and when she stops being sick she begins to cry.
"Mama." She cries and I hug her again.
"I know bub, I know." I repeat and hug her tightly.
"It hurts." She cries and I sigh and rub her back.
I take her back into my room and sit her on my lap on my bed and she cries into my chest.
A knock on the door causes me to take my head from resting on Alannah's and turn to the door.
"Is everything alright?" Nicole asks once she sees Alannah's state.
"Alannah isn't well so she won't be eating breakfast today." I tell her and she nods.
"I'll leave some out for you." She says and I smile and thank her. She's so kind.
Alannah had cried herself back to sleep so I gently placed her down in my bed before cleaning the toilet from Alannah's sick.
I go into my room and choose out an outfit for today when there was a knock on my door. I turn to the door to see Nicole standing there smiling sympathetically.
"We're heading off to work now." She says and I smile.
"Have fun." I say and she smiles and says goodbye before leaving.
I quickly get in the shower whilst Alannah was asleep. Once I get out I put on a maroon jumper and some black jeans.
I quickly slide on some black socks before heading into the guest bedroom to blow dry my hair.
Half way through blow drying my hair Alannah comes in holding my phone out for me to grab.
I see that Jax was on the phone and I smile and pick Alannah up. She instantly puts her head into my chest and plays with my hair when I talk to Jax.
"Hello." I say and the laughs from the other end stop.
"Oh hey." Jax says.
"What's up?" I ask.
"Gio fuck off." Jax says which leads me to be confused. "Sorry Gio is being an asshole today" Jax says emphasising 'asshole' which makes me laugh.
"What are you doing today?" He asks and I look down to Alannah.
"Um being a nurse." I say.
"Why?" He asks confused.
"Alannah isn't well." I tell him and I hear a loud bang.
"For fuck sake Gio my moms going to kill you!" He says and I giggle.
"Look you sound busy just call me back later." I say.
"Uh okay." He says probably distracted.
I end the phone call to see Alannah looking up at me.
"I'm in the middle of drying my hair but I promise I'll cuddle you after I blow dry my hair." I say putting her on the guest bed and she nods.
After I blow dry my hair I take Alannah back into my room. I sit her down on the bed.
"Let's change your pyjamas." I say and she nods slightly.
I stand up and head over to a drawer where I pull out some doc mcstuffins pyjamas.
I help Alannah get changed and then I pick her up and rest her on my hip before grabbing my phone.
We get downstairs and I put doc mcstuffins on for Alannah.
Alannah sat with her head in my chest and her legs wrapped around me. I sat there on my phone just scrolling through social media when I heard the doorbell ring.
I gently try to move Alannah off of me but I woke her up.
"I'll be two minutes someone at the door." I say and she nods.
I walk over to the door which I then unlock and open.
"Hello!" Gio shouts in my face.
"Shhh." I say and point to the living room.
"Sorry." Gio whispers and Jax chuckles softly before bringing me in for a hug.
"You look tired." He whispers and I pull away from the hug and shrug.
We go into the lliving room and I sit down on the sofa and Alannah climbs back on my lap.
She puts her head on my shoulder and then puts her hands in my hair.
Jax sits beside me and puts his arm around me. Gio then sits on the other sofa.
"What are we watching?" Gio asks looking at the tv.
"Doc mcstuffins." I say in a duh tone and he sighs.
"But she's asleep." Gio moans and I look up at Jax then across to Gio.
"What do you want to watch?" I ask going to hand Gio the remote but Jax takes it from me before I could.
"I wouldn't let Gio choose." He says and I raise an eyebrow.
"That was one time." Gio complains and I look between them both confused.
"You don't even want to know." Jax says and kisses my cheek.
"What's wrong with Alannah?" Jax asks holding one of my hands.
"She threw up last night and has a temperature. She also threw up this morning but I haven't checked her temperature yet because all she doing is sleeping." I tell them.
"Is she going to be okay?" Gio asks and I nod my head.
"Its probably just a bug or something that's why if I knew you guys were coming round I would of told you not to." I say and Jax and Gio furrows their eyebrows and look at each other.
"Why?" Gio asks.
"Well you are busy people and I don't want you to get sick." I say and Gio smirks.
"If we were to get sick would you come round and nurse us?" He asks and I just let out a soft laugh.
"Um no." I say he looks at me with a hurt expression on his face whilst Jax just laughs.
Half way through the movie Alannah woke up and climbed down from me before running out.
I stand up and walk after her.
I get in the bathroom and she was crying and hugging herself.
"Hey it's okay." I say and she nods and cries.
I pick her up and she puts her head in the crook of my neck as she cries. I play with her hair before flushing the toilet. I clean up a bit which was quite hard considering Alannah was cuddling me.
As we walk out of the bathroom I start to head up to my room when Jax walks out of the living room.
"Do you want help?" He asks in a hushed tone, putting his arms out to carry Alannah.
"No its fine she gets really clingy and cuddly when she's not well." I say and he nods.
We get to my room and I gently lie Alannah down on the bed.
"Jax." Alannah says when she sees him.
He smiles at her sympathetically before she opens her arms waiting for him to hug her. He smiles at her before leaning down and hugging her.
When he pulls away she turns to me and smiles before tapping the bed beside her. I get into bed beside her and she cuddles in to my arm like she always does.
When Alannah falls asleep I ask Jax to pass me one of her cuddly bears which he does.
I replace my arm with her bear and stand up. Jax was sat at my desk just typing on his phone.
"Is Gio still downstairs?" I ask and Jax looks up from his phone at me and nods.
"Yeah he's watching tv." He tells me and I nod and yawn.
"What time did you go to bed last night?" he asks and I shrug.
"You should go to bed earlier you know." He tells me, putting his phone away.
"I know." I say and yawn again.
He then laughs slightly before telling me to come and sit with him. I go to walk and get another chair but Jax pulls me on to his lap.
"That's not what I meant." He says and I blush.
"You are so cute." He says and I smile before looking down to the floor.
"Maybe you should have a nap." He says and I shake my head.
"No I'm not really tired plus I have to wake Alannah up for her to take her medicine in half an hour." I say and Jax looks at me firmly.
"Go to sleep I'll wake you up in half an hour." He says.
"Don't you have to go back to work?" I ask and he shakes his head.
I put my head in the crook of his neck.
I don't mean to be weird but sat this close to him you can smell how nice he smells. He smells really nice but he is very uncomfortable.
"You're not very comfortable." I say taking my head out of his neck and he just chuckles.
"It's the suit Tesoro." He says whilst taking his suit Jacket off.
"What does Tesoro mean?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
He shrugs playfully and I roll my eyes causing him to chuckle. I put my head back in his neck before falling to sleep very quickly.

"Lara" Jax says in my ear.
He then kisses my cheek and repeats my name. I sit up properly and run a hand over my face before yawning.
"Thank you." I say standing up and he smirks at me.
"You can sleep with me whenever you want." He says and I slap his shoulder causing him to laugh.
I walk over to the bed and put the back of my hand on Alannah's forehead.
She still felt quite warm so I began to wake her up.
When she sat I smiled at her whilst she hugged me.
"Time for some medicine." I say and Alannah nods.
I grab the medicine from the nightstand and help Alannah take it. She then hugs before I pick her up.
"I think Gio has been downstairs for far too long on his own." I say and Alannah takes her head off my shoulder.
"Gio and Jax are still here?" She asks both Jax and I laugh.
"I've been here this whole time." Jax says and she looks at him curiously before I nod at her.
Jax stands up and grabs his suit jacket.
I never really got to look at him without his suit jacket on but he looks good. You can really see his muscles now and he just looks amazing.
"Do you want me to take her?" Jax asks putting on his suit jacket.
Alannah opens her arms to go over to Jax and he takes her straight away smiling.
We get into the living room and Gio was sat on his phone.
"Finally. Fucking hell what were you doing?" Gio asks putting his phone into his back pocket of his black jeans.
"We were talking." Jax says as he sits down on the sofa.
"Sure you were." Gio says and I then sit on the sofa.
"Do you always sit so far away from your boyfriend's?" Jax asks while handing Alannah a toy. Considering I've never had one, no.
"No." I say and he puts his arm out pulling me towards him.
We watched another film which Alannah stayed awake for.
But after the film it was time for Jax and Gio to leave because they had to go back to work. I walked them to the door with Alannah on my hip.
"See you later." Gio says hugging me us both from the side slightly.
"Bye Gio." I say and Alannah waves before putting her head in the crook of my neck.
"I'll call you later." Jax says and kisses me and I smile and nod.
"Bye Alannah I hope you feel better." Jax says and kisses her forehead.
She smiles slightly and waves at him. Jax gets in Gio's car and heads off.

I spent the rest of the day on the sofa cuddling Alannah.
"I'm home." Nicole shouts opening the door.
"Living room." I say softly as I hear her heels click across the floor.
"How are you guys?" Nicole asks.
"Auntie Nicky I'm sick." Alannah says causing Nicole to frown.
"I know your mom told me but if there's anything you need, come and tell me." She says and Alannah nods her head softly.
"Have you eaten?" Nicole asks me.
"Shoot" I say. I had completely forget to eat.
"It's okay I'll do dinner in a minute." Nicole says and I smile softly.
"How many days now?" Alannah asks.
"Fourteen." Nicole says excitedly.
Alannah smiles softly before climbing on me. She sits in my lap and puts the side of her face against my chest.
Alannah didn't have dinner. I didn't want her to eat it and throw it up so I was just simply going to let her have some plain crackers or dry toast.
But whilst me Nicole and David had dinner Alannah was fast asleep on the sofa.
"What did you do today?" Nicole asks as I take a sip of my water.
"I basically cuddled with Alannah all day. Oh and Jax and Gio came over for a bit." I say and they nod.
"You should invite Jax over for dinner." Nicole says and David coughs before looking at Nicole with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh no I uh don't think we're at that part in our relationship yet." I say and Nicole just laughs.
"Okay well whenever your ready you should invite him around." She smiles.
Once we were finished with dinner I helped Nicole with the dishes. After doing the dishes we went into the living room.
I go in with some medicine as I'm going to have to wake Alannah up in a bit. Once I go into the living room David was watching the news and Alannah was sat beside him playing with a toy.
"I didn't know you were awake." I say and Alannah looks up and smiles before climbing over the sofa to me. She sits down beside me and puts her head on my hip.
After giving Alannah her medicine we say goodnight and head up to our room.
We get into my room and I get some clean pyjamas for Alannah before helping her brush her teeth.
I put some tv on and we watch some Doc mcstuffins.
I had been watching Doc mcstuffins for a ridiculously long time when my phone ringing pulled me away.
It was a facetime off of James.
"Hello." I say as he pops up on the screen.
"Hey, I just got off the phone with mom and she told me Alannah's sick." He says and I frown and nod.
"Awh can I talk to her?" He asks and I go to give Alannah my phone when I realised she was asleep.
"She's asleep." I say and quickly grab the remote off the night stand so I can switch the tv off.
Once I switch the tv off I head over to my desk and lean James up against the wall.
"How are you?" He asks and I yawn and he raises an eyebrow.
"I'm tired, like really tired." I say and he sighs.
"When was the last time you got more then five hours sleep?" He asks and I shrug.
"I fell asleep around three last night but minutes after I fell asleep Alannah started throwing up." I say yawning.
"I got about thirty minutes earlier when Jax came over but I had to give Alannah her medicine." I say and he nods.
"I'll be home in fourteen days and you'll be able to sleep then." He says and I smile slightly. Very true.
"Anyway how's LA?" I ask and he smiles.
"Its good, really good." He says and I smile.
"Good, I'm proud of you." I say and his smile grows.
"Thank you Lala." He says and I roll my eyes playfully. I haven't been called Lala in so long.
"You know I hate it when you call me Lala." I exclaim and he just laughs.
"Sorry Lala." He says and I roll my eyes playfully whilst shaking my head.
I yawn again and he smiles sympathetically.
"Maybe if you go to sleep now, you'll be able to fall to sleep." James says and I nod.
I say goodbye then end the call.
I go into the bathroom and put my hair in a messy bun.
I then get changed into some pyjamas before lying beside Alannah.
But like I predicted. As soon as I got in bed I was no longer tired.
