You Should Take Care Of

Tommy is feeling sick, but Buck and Jee-Yun (and Mittens the cat) are determined to make him feel better.----Climbing out of his car, he headed into the house and pushed the living room door open slightly.“Hey, Evan.” He called, but all he got back was a meow and a small groan. And pushing it open more, he realized that Evan wasn’t there, but instead, Mittens was lying all stretched out, her head and her paws resting on a small lap.“Uncle Tommy?” Jee-Yun asked, still half-asleep, and Tommy crept over to her, sitting on the opposite side of the couch from Mittens.“Hey, what are you doing here?” he asked, feeling himself smile as the four-year-old laid her head on his side and stretched as far as she could to give him a big cuddle.“Mommy’s sick.” She replied quietly. “Uncle Buck came. We made cookies. Peanut butter ones.”“Mmm, my favorite!” Tommy said softly.“I know, made them for you.”“She insisted.” Tommy glanced up to see Evan standing in the doorway, watching the two people (and cat) that he loved the most, all cuddled in together. “She asked what your favorite was and said that we should make you them because you were at work.”
