Stef woke up to find Lena no longer sleeping beside. She tries to remain calm, Stef got up off the couch and folded the blanket up, and went in search for Lena upstairs. Stef check the kids rooms, then she went up to the third floor. No sign of Lena
Stef tried not to freak out, she went back down the steps. Stef heard sounds coming from the master bedroom, she enter inside and found Lena wrapped up in a huge quilt on the bed. Stef noticed it was quite warm in the room, she went into the bathroom to get the thermometer out the medicine cabinet. Stef came back
And squatted down in front of Lena
She placed her hand on Lena's forehead, baby your burning up
Why didn't you wake me up to tell me that you weren't feeling well Stef said
I'm fine please don't make a big deal out of this, plus you were sleeping so peaceful. I thought if I took a cool shower and I would be alright. Lena replies, remember what Dr. Garland told us before we left the hospital
Now open up so I can take your temperature. Stef replies, Stefanie l'm not a damn child, Lena states. Stef ignores Lena's comment and shoves the thermometer in Lena's mouth
Stef can't believe how childish Lena is being, she just shakes her head at Lena pouting. Stef sees where Nyla's gets it from, the thermometer beeps
Stef takes it out Lena's mouth. She reads it, out loud 102. Stef gets up and goes rise it off in the sink. Then she came back out the E-suite, And sees Lena has her eyes close. Stef heads downstairs to Call the hotline on the paper, to see if they have any suggestions as to what to do
Stef quickly Dials the number
The phone rings three times before somebody picks up. Hello the woman says when she answers, yes my name is Stephanie Adams Foster. Dr. Garland gave me this number to call
in case my wife is experiencing side effects from her procedure she had today, Stef responds. Ok what is your wife's name. The older woman asks
Lena Adams Foster she was seen earlier today at the hospital, Stef said
Ok what are her symptoms the lady questions, she has a fever of a one hundred & two Stef informed the woman. First apply an ice pack to the groin area and forehead, trying giving her a fever reducer. For any reason that doesn't work, bring her into the emergency room. The nurse explains
Thank you so much for your help
Stef ends the call, she heads to the kitchen and take out two ice packs from the freezer. Stef knows Lena's gonna be pissed, she also grabs a bottle water from the refrigerator
Stef heads back up to the bedroom
Lena's laying in same position as she left her in. Babe you need to sit up and take this pill, it will help with your fever. Stef says to Lena
Lena slowly pulls herself up into a sitting position, Stef opens up the drink for Lena. She takes the medicine and drank the water behind it,  Stef sees Lena only has on her bra and panties. Love this might be a tad cold, the nurse on the phone told me this should bring down your temperature, Stef places the cold pack inside Lena's underwear. Lena yelps out loud and applied the other one under Lena's uninjured armpit.
Lena bites down on her lip, She covers herself back up with the blanket. I'm sorry honey your not feeling to well, Stef tells Lena
I know l'm acting like a big baby
But I don't mean to Lena Stefanie
