a sick day for the twins

Today is Saturday at the Oakley household!


Last night, the boys began to not feel the best and when they woke up today, they were definitely sick.


Sparrow and Archer both have caught a stomach bug, unfortunately, and all they wanted to do was cuddle with Tyler. So of course, Tyler was cuddling with them already.


"How was your guys feeling now?" Tyler asks softly, petting Archer's hair lightly.


"I feel like I'm gonna puke. But it doesn't happen." Sparrow says, referring to his nausea.


"My stomach hurts a lot. I don't wanna be sick." Archer whines, resting his head on a pillow.


"I'm sorry, I wish I could make it better for both of you. Do you two want popsicles or soup?" Tyler asks, thinking of some foods they might be able to keep down.


"I want ice cream!" Archer says with a little grin and Tyler plays with his blondish red hair.


"Ice cream might make your tummy hurt worse, bud." Tyler says as Archer frowns, really wanting a big ice cream cone with sprinkles.


After feeling nauseous all day, Sparrow finally throws up, causing Tyler is gag a little but he is happy that Sparrow won't be feeling nauseous.


"Ewww!" Archer says as he hides his face.


"It's okay, Sparrow. It's okay, bud. Do you feel any better?" Tyler asks Sparrow as he rubs Sparrow's head.


Sparrow nods and lays his head down. Tyler grabs a wash cloth to wash Sparrow's mouth and face.


"I think I have to poop." Archer says as he stomach hurts some.


Tyler thinks it's funny that boys have potty humor but sometimes he doesn't need to know when they are going to the bathroom.


"Go ahead, bud. If you have an accident, that's okay." Tyler says as Archer gets out of the bed and runs to the bathroom, making it in time.


"Mommy, when are we gonna get better?" Sparrow asks quietly, feeling a bit dramatic since he also has a low grade fever.


"Hopefully within a day or so. I'm sorry you feel bad." Tyler says, handing a lion to Sparrow, his favorite stuffed animal.


Sparrow hugs his stuffed animal, which he usually only sleeps with, and sighs as he leans against Tyler.


"I think I do want some soup, please. And crackers, the plain ones." Sparrow says as his twin flops onto the bed.


"I want that too. But I wanna keep cuddling." Archer says with a sad look.


"You two need to rest your tummies right now. You just threw up and you went number two. Let's drink some water and just cuddle for a little bit." Tyler says to Sparrow and Archer.


Tyler turns on Disney+ and finds a movie to watch with the boys. The boys pick to watch Ratatouille.


Forty five minutes into the movie, Sparrow falls asleep and an hour into the movie, Archer falls asleep.


Tyler texts Troye in the meantime, just chatting a bit and telling him about the day so far. Troye always makes sure to check on the boys often and help if needed.


Archer wakes up an hour later, because of some more stomach pain.


"Mom, is there some medicine I can take? My stomach really hurts." Archer says in a whisper, looking up and relaxing the movie was over.


Sparrow wakes up shortly after, sitting up a little bit. His fever went down but he still feels sick.


"Yeah, bud. I can give you some medicine! It is going to taste yucky, but it will help your stomach. Sparrow, do you wanna take some medicine too? It will help with your nausea." Tyler says to Archer and Sparrow.


"Okay, I'll take some." Sparrow says as he continues to lay in bed.


"Okay, let me get some medicine and some drinks for all of us." Tyler says as he leaves the bedroom to go downstairs.


Just then, Tyler's iphone begins to ring, it is Korey wanting to FaceTime him.


Archer picks it up and answers it, even though Tyler told him and Sparrow to not answer his phone to respect his privacy.


Tyler never goes on the boys tablets or other devices unless he absolutely has to.


"Hi, Uncle Korey." Archer says as he coughs some and rubs stomach.


"Hi, Archer! What's wrong?" Korey asks with a frown.


"I got the stomach bug. So did, Sparrow." Archer says as he shows Sparrow laying next to him.


"Hi, Uncle Korey." Sparrow says softly to Korey.


"Hi, Sparrow! I'm sorry you two don't feel well! Where is Mom?" Korey asks the boys.


"He is getting us medicine!" Archer says as Sparrow gags a little, dry heaving but not throwing up.


Korey doesn't know that Tyler told the boys not to answer his phone, so he doesn't think much of it.


"Make sure you guys get some rest, it's very important." Korey says and sadly smiles.


"We will!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison softly to Korey.


Tyler soon comes back up with some medicine and ginger ale, setting it down when he sees Archer and Sparrow FaceTiming Korey.


"Boys, what did I say about answering my phone? You two know better than that." Tyler says softly but firmly, not wanting to upset his kids that were sick, but he wants them to respect the rules.


"Mommy, I'm sorry! I just wanted to ta-talk with Uncle Korey." Archer apologizes, crying a little, because when you're sick, it can make you feel bad emotionally too.


"I'm sorry, Mommy." Sparrow says softly as he begins to cry a little too.


"It's okay, Archer and Sparrow! I'm not mad! I'm not mad! Don't worry! You two guys know for next time." Tyler says as he kisses Archer and Sparrow's cheeks.


Tyler then gives Archer and Sparrow their medicine and ginger ales so their stomachs can start feeling better.


Tyler picks up his iPhone and smiles at his boyfriend Korey and Korey happily smiles back at him.


"Hi, Korey!" Tyler says with a cheeky grin.


"Helllooooo!" Korey says playfully to Tyler.


"How are you doing?" Tyler asks Korey softy.


"I'm doing well! How are you? It seems like you are busy with two sick little ones. Do you need anything? Is there anything I can do?" Korey asks Tyler softly.


"I'm doing pretty well! I am a little tired but I'm good! Last night was rough with these two but they seem a little better today. Hopefully by tomorrow they will back to their normal selves. And I don't think we need anything, thank you though! I miss you and love you." Tyler says to Korey, whispering the last thing.


"I miss you and love you too." Korey whispers to Tyler making Tyler blush and smile.


"Uncle Korey should come over!" Sparrow says with a little smile.


"Yeah! He should come over!" Archer says as he coughs.


"Maybe in a few days! I don't want him to get what you guys have." Tyler says to Sparrow and Archer.


"We are contagious!" Sparrow says playfully making himself and Archer giggle.


Tyler and Korey also giggle at Sparrow and Archer.


"I hope you guys feel better, soon! Stomach bugs suck, huh?" Korey says and the kids make faces and giggle.


"Yeah, it does! But at least we know it's not the nasty virus!" Sparrow says and smiles a bit.


"We've been cuddling and watching movies, Uncle Korey!" Archer says and lays upside down on the bed while Sparrow drinks some ginger ale.


"At least that sounds good!" Korey says and chuckles.


"Sparrow, drink slowly, buddy. It's easier on your tummy." Tyler gently advises.


Archer cuddles with Tyler and Tyler kisses his forehead.


"Well, I'll let you guys go! I'll come over when you guys feel better!" Korey says to Archer and Sparrow happily.


"Bye, Uncle Korey!" Sparrow and Archer both say in unison as they wave at Korey.


"Bye, Korey! I'll talk to you later. Love you." Tyler says, whispering love you making Korey smile.


"Love you!" Korey whispers back before he ends the call.


Sparrow cuddles Tyler again, curling up a bit. It was comfortable to him. Tyler kisses his forehead as well.


"Do you guys want to watch another movie? Or have some popsicles, if you could keep them down?" Tyler nicely letting both kids cuddle him.


"Yeah, I'd watch another movie. Like Night At The Museum!" Archer says excitedly, sitting up a little more.


"I think I can handle a popsicle. And I love Night At The Museum!" Sparrow says, wanting to do something not boring.


"Archer, do you want a popsicle too?" Tyler asks Archer and he happily nods.


"Two popsicles coming right up and then we can watch the movie!" Tyler says as Sparrow and Archer both cheer.


Sparrow and Archer both lay down and yawn, feeling sleepy again. 


Tyler smiles at his boys before going downstairs to get two popsicles.


"Luckily this doesn't last forever." Archer says and rubs his eyes tiredly and Sparrow nods in agreement.


Tyler brings up one grape popsicle and one blue raspberry popsicle, handing them to the boys


"Thanks, Mom. Grape is my favorite." Sparrow says with a grin as he begins to eat his popsicle.


"Yes, thank you! I love blue raspberry!" Archer says and shows off his identical smile.


"You're welcome! You guys seem better since taking a nap so that's good! Hopefully by tomorrow we can start slowly eating regular food." Tyler says as he texts troye an update.


"Yeah! I want ice cream!" Archer says making Tyler chuckle.


"Yeah, there is a new ice cream place by our school!" Sparrow says with a cheeky grin.


"If your tummies feel better by then, we can definitely get ice cream! Whatever topping you two want too!" Tyler says and both twins cheer.


Archer pushes some hair out of his face, giggling when it pokes his eyes.


"I need to get a trim! It's in my eyes. Can you put my hair in a bun, mama?" Archer says happily and Tyler nods


Tyler is a little surprised since his boys never called him mama, but he didn't hate it.


"I need a haircut, too! My shaved sides are growing into hair." Sparrow says and feels his own hair.


Tyler fixes Archer's hair and places it in a bun.


"Maybe in a few days you two can get some haircuts!" Tyler says with a smile.  


Tyler turns A Night At The Museum on and he, Archer and Sparrow all happily watch the movie together.


For the rest of the day, Tyler, Archer and Sparrow cuddle with each other!
