Everyone was already downstairs.

Sydney was reading some kind comic book, Enzo was leaning his back against the counter with coffee in his hands, Achilles was reading the newspaper while Gabriele was busy doing his work in his laptop.

While they were in their own world, Sydney heard her first.

He heard a little whimper coming from the stairs and he already knew who that person is.

He immediately went towards their baby and kneeled down in front of Luca.

Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were glassy with big fat tears rolling down of her cheeks. She was rubbing her eyes, trying to remove the sleepiness.

"What's wrong, topolina?"

Luca whimpered again, hiccuping as she walked towards Sydney. No-one was still aware of her presence.

"I don't feel so good... " Luca whimpered, practically falling into Sydney's awaiting embrace. She sighed softly at Sydney's cold temperature.

"Jesus Christ, Lu." Sydney muttered, protectively carrying Luca. "Did you cook yourself? You're burning up."

"Mmm... Syd... " She whispered, snuggling closer to her brother. "I 'ont feel s' gud... "

"Shh, I know, baby girl, shhh. We're gonna take care of it, okay?"

In truth, Sydney was getting scared. This might just be a common cold or something but it's still scary as shit seeing the only girl in the Cattaneo family get sick.

It's always like the end of the world when it comes to Luca. Jeez.

Enzo, having some kind of weird mother instinct, walked from around the corner.

"What's wrong with Luca?" Was the first thing he said when he first saw them.

"I swear that you're starting to creep me out." Sydney said with a soft laugh. "You just pop outta nowhere whenever Luca's hurt or in danger."

"It's my powers." Enzo said with a nod but Sydney shook his head in disbelief.

"Powers? More like creepmometer. A sixth sense where creep and mom mixes together."

"Should I be offended?" Enzo raised a questioning brow at him.

Sydney snorted and sh urged. "Should you?"

Enzo then walked closer and touched Luca's forehead. The cold touch made Luca sigh with relief.

Sydney gave her to Enzo since he'll know what to do.

"Hey, you there." Sydney beckoned the maid nearby.

The maid, Sydney thinks that her name is Sheila, walked towards him with a small smile plastered on her face but he didn't miss the fear in her eyes.

"Yes, sir?"

Sydney's icy glare made the maid flinch. In reality, Sydney wasn't actually glaring. It's just the height difference that's making him look like he's glaring.

Luca rested her head on Enzo's shoulder. "Enzo... I 'on't feel so good... "

"Yes, I know..." He whispered then looked back at Sydney. "I'll take her upstairs. Be gentle with the maid, Sydney. Gentle..."

The man nodded. "Yeah, yeah."

"You're not listening, are you?"

"Hell no."

Enzo rolled his eyes. "I'm taking her."

He walked upstairs.

Sydney then looked back at the maid. "Inform my father that Lu's sick. We're gonna take her back to bed."

He then walked past her and began walking up the stairs, following his eldest brother.

The maid bowed her head at him. "Yes, sir."

Sydney then stopped. "Oh and get something for Luca. I think she's got a fever."

The maid nodded. "Of course."

When she didn't move from her spot, Sydney rolled his eyes at the maid's stupidity. "Well? Did your feet get chopped off? Get moving already!"

"I heard that Luca's sick?"

Enzo shushed him. His hand was patting Luca, trying to get her to sleep but she was still whimpering in pain.

Gabriele only gave him a blank stare before moving towards them. "Where's Syd?"

"Blowing off some steam."

Gabriele raised a brow. "What? What made him tick?"

"The maids."

"Oh, so that's why he fired them all."

"Yeah and now I don't have a single servant to give me a wet towel and a bucket filled with cold water." He looked at him expectantly.

When the man noticed that, he gaped at Enzo. "Oh, wha— So, now you're making me your maid?"

"No, I'm making you a responsible brother for Luca now fetch me what I ordered, brother dear." Enzo smirked when he saw the irritated frown on Gab.

"Don't call me that."

"M' dyin'... " Luca mumbled in irritation. "Don't... Fight in mah room, hool'gans."

The two gave her a blank look before looking at each other again.

Gabriele shrugged. "Huh. Wha'dya know. It takes one lil' fever to see a little demon."

Luca tried her best to glare at him but it seems that her eyes were feeling heavy at the moment. She huffed.

"M' not little."

Enzo chuckled. "Well, everyone's going to disagree with you, dove."

"Shuddup."

Enzo looked at his brother again. "Bucket. Towel. Now, Gabriele."

The man rolled his eyes. "Jeez, who pushed your mom button today? Oh wait, don't answer that."

Luca groaned. "Gabi!"

Gabriele immediately rushed towards the door in lightning speed and hummed. "Sure, sure. Don't get mad you little demon."

She mumbled something incoherent.

"What? I can't hear you, you little spawn!"

Enzo leaned towards Luca and nodded when she repeated what she said.

Enzo then glared at Gabriele. "She said that you're the demon."

The man smirked. "Aren't we all?"

"Quit chatting and start moving, Gabriele."

With that, he left.

Luca tugged the hem of Enzo's shirt and he turned his attention back at her. "What's wrong, bambina? Do you need a drink again? Food? Is the room too hot?"

She giggles weakly. "M' fine."

Enzo smiled and laid down next to her. He wiped the beads of sweat on Luca's forhead.

"Sydney made you drink your medicine, right?"

She made a face. "Bitter. Was bitter."

"And it's for the better."

"Mmm... " She hummed in response. "S' gonna kill meh... "

"Shush, now." Enzo said while patting her again. "Go to sleep."

Luca wiggled closer to Enzo and nodded sleepily. "Kay... Nighty-night."

"Good night, bambina."
