It has been a few months since I have last been sick. I am glad I haven't been sick in a while. It is about 3am and I have been woken up by Oscar crying. I carefully get out of bed knowing Niall needs to get up early in the morning for work. I quietly leave the room and go into Oscar's room. I see him sat up in his toddler bed crying. I say "Hey buddy. Why are you sad for?" He looks up at me and says "Papa. Icky tummy." I pick him up and gently walk around the room with him to try to calm him down.Soon his sobs turn to sniffles and he says "Monkey papa." I pick up his monkey from his bed and give it to him. I ask "You have an icky tummy Ozzy bear?" Oscar nods and says "Yeah papa." I ask him "Osc do you want to sleep with daddy and papa?" Oscar nods
I take him into the bathroom and I grab the thermometer and the Calpol out of the cupboard. I then carry him into my bedroom and I see Niall sat up in bed. He asks "Is everything alright Li?" I say "We have a poorly two year old" Niall pouts and says "Oh Ozzy. You feeling Icky?" Oscar nods and says "Uh huh" I sit Oscar down on our bed and put the thermometer in Oscar's ear and press the button once the thermometer beeps I take the thermometer out of Oscar's ear and say "38.5. Let's get some Calpol in you before your temperature gets any higher." Oscar nods and I measure out 5 ml of Calpol and say "Open up then Oz." Oscar opens his mouth and I put the syringe in and he takes the medicine. I say "Why don't you try to get some sleep Ozzy" Oscar nods and says "Papa cuddle" I nod and lay down next to him. He cuddles into my side and falls back asleep.
A few hours later still Liam's pov
I get woken up by Oscar crying again. I sit up and see him covered in vomit. Niall walks into the room and says "Oh buddy. I'll call Oscar's nursery and your management then take Luna to school." I nod and Niall leaves the room. I say "Let's get you cleaned up buddy." He nods and I pick him up and carry him into my bathroom. I run a bath for him and help him to get undressed to his nappy realising he has had diarrhoea. I put his soiled clothes in the washing basket . I take off his soiled nappy and put it in the bin. I gently wipe him down. He cries and I realise he is really sore. I say "I'm sorry buddy." I quickly finish wiping him and say "Let's get you in the bath." Oscar nods and I put him in the bath and gently wash his hair. Niall walks into the bathroom and says "I have called your management and Oscar's nursery. They both said that they hope Oscar feels better soon." I nod and Niall says "I better get Luna to school. I'll get out of work early to pick Luna up from school" I nod and say "Have a good day at work" Niall nods and says "If you need any help just call." I nod and say "See you later" Niall nods and says "See you later" he leaves the room
Once Oscar is clean I say "Let's get you out buddy." Oscar nods and reaches up to be carried. I smile sadly and I grab a towel and unplug the drain. I gently lift him up wrapping him up in the towel. I carry him into my bedroom and then out to his room. I put him on the nappy unit and grab out a nappy and put it on him. I gently rub nappy cream on him then tape up the nappy. I then pick him up and then say "What pyjamas do you want to wear buddy." He says "Toy stowy pwease papa" I nod and grab his Toy Story onesie and put it on him
