Chapter 2: Vision- Sheldon

                CSI Dr. Sheldon Hawkes walked into the bedroom he shared with his husband BAU Unit Chief Derek Morgan. Derek had just come back from spending almost 15 days out of town on cases. They were in Texas three days, Florida four days, East Tennessee two days. He got a chance to come home for a day before they were sent back out to Kentucky for three days and Missouri for other two and a half. Needless to say, Derek really missed his family and his husband. Sheldon was glad to have some more help. When Pen wasn’t on the travel rotation things were fine. But this time she was on the same rotation as Derek; although she tried to get off after the case in East Tennessee.
Sheldon asked as he took out his contact lenses in the bathroom, “Everybody in bed?”
“Yep, checked on them myself. Everything ok for in the morning?”
“Yeah, lunches are made, permission slips signed.” Derek rubbed his eyes. Sheldon batted his hands away.
“You could mess up your eyes by doing that.”
“Can’t help it; read too many e-mails.” He blinked. “But my eyes aren’t too tired to look at you.” He said pulling his husband closer to him to kiss him.
“Mmm…does daddy need a play date?” He teased.
“Oh, yes with papa as his playmate.” Derek smiled and kissed Sheldon as he tried to quickly unbutton his shirt. Sheldon quickly broke the kiss. “What is it?” Derek asked.
“Did you hear that?”
“Hear what?”Derek listened for a few seconds. “I didn’t hear anything. I think you’re being paranoid.” He went back to kissing Sheldon, making it to his neck before Sheldon stopped him again.
“There. I just heard it again.”
“What exactly did you hear?”
“A knock or something…”They listened. They each heard it that time. It was a knock at the door followed by…
“Daddy? Papa?” Both men dropped their heads, sighed and said together,
“Ben.”
“I thought you said everyone was asleep?”
“They were, when I checked.”
“Well, you’re gonna have to turn around before we let him in.” Sheldon said as he indicated to Derek’s aroused state. Derek turned towards the open doors of his armoire. “Come in.” Sheldon called.
                Five-year-old Benjamin MarKes came into his parent’s bedroom. His very sandy-blond curly hair was sticking to his forehead and he carried his favorite teddy bear with him.
“What’s going on bud?” Sheldon asked, kneeling in front of his son.
“Papa, I don’t feel so good.” The little boy replied.
“What’s wrong?”
“I feel hot and itchy.”Sheldon immediately felt his forehead and the little boy was burning up. “And my tummy is in cycles.”
“Cycles?” Derek turned to see Sheldon usher their son to the bathroom. “That’s a new one.”
“That’s their twin speak for nausea.” And they got to the toilet just in time for Ben to throw up. Derek winced at the sound and walked to the bathroom door to make sure they were all right. He heard footsteps behind him.
“Daddy, Binky’s throwing up all over her bed.” He turned to see their daughter Fiona standing there. Derek threw his head up as if to say What now?
“Ok, sweetie. Let’s go and check on your sister.” She took his hand they walked down the hall to the girls’ bedroom.
                Little Bianca was sitting on the side of her bed, her nightgown and sheets covered in vomit. None of the food she had eaten for dinner seemed to digest. He could see just about every pea, carrot, and spoonful of mashed potatoes she had eaten. And her chocolate milk.
“I couldn’t make it to the bathroom.”
“It’s ok baby. I’ll get you cleaned up.” He went to her dresser and took out clean nightclothes for her. “Fi, can you go into the bathroom and help your sister change her nightgown while I change her sheets?”
“Yes sir.” Bianca’s comforter and blanket were actually ok, but the sheets and pillowcases were a different story. By the time he had stripped the bed, Sheldon had made his way to the boys’ room with Ben.
“Doug are you feeling ok?” Doug was sitting on the side of his bed, looking like he wanted to throw up. He shook his head no. “My tummy feels funny.” Sheldon nodded and nudged him into the large jack-n-jill bathroom shared by the bedrooms. As soon as he did, Doug threw up. Derek stuck his head in to see who had thrown up.
“Shel, can you check their temperatures? I think Fi has a fever too.” Sheldon reached into the medicine cabinet and found the ear thermometer. He had each of the kids stand in front of the tub and he checked their temps by ear. Before he could get to Fiona, she had thrown up.
“Wow. Everybody’s throwing up. Ya’ll make me think dinner wasn’t too good.”
“Dinner was ok Papa,” Bianca said. “we just don’t feel good.” As Sheldon helped her put on her clean nightgown, he noticed a few bumps on her back and stomach. He was trying to remember if he has seen them a few nights before when he gave them their baths. And he was wondering why Tara, their part-time helper didn’t say anything before leaving last night.
“Bianca, how long have you had these bumps?”
“I saw the ones on my tummy this morning.”
“And what did you do when you saw them?”
“I scratched them and water came out of them.”
“Mine too Papa.” Ben said.
“All of you have bumps like this?” Sheldon asked. The kids nodded. “Let me see.” They all lifted a shirt and pulled up a pants leg to show Sheldon the bumps. “And you scratched them? All of them?” They nodded again.
“What are they Papa?”
“Looks like you all have chicken pox.”
“Chicken pops?” Doug said. “Are we gonna turn into chickens?” His face turned into a worried frown.
“The word is pox; p-o-x not pops p-o-p-s. And no you won’t turn into chickens.” Derek came into the bathroom to check on everyone.
“We dealing with a 24-hour bug or something?”
“I wish. We’re in chicken pox land. You want to go to the store or shall I?”
“Chicken pox? All of them?” Sheldon nodded. “I guess you go. I don’t even know what to get.”
“Well, they no longer have the old green, black and yellow box we had, I know that.” Sheldon sighed. “Ok, first everybody should brush their teeth to get the yucky taste out. Give them the chewable aspirins for the fever. Try some crackers to settle their stomachs. And some sweet tea.”
“Sweet tea? What will that do?”
“I don’t know the scientific reasoning, but it helps bring the hives out faster. It helps with dehydration too.”
“Ok, kids you heard Dr. Papa.” The children stepped up on the counter length stepstool they installed to help them reach the sink.
“I’ll be back as soon as I can.” Sheldon kissed Derek’s cheek. “Rain check on the play date?” Derek nodded.

                Sheldon walked into their neighborhood Walgreens and headed down the beauty products aisle looking for the Aveeno products. He grabbed a few bottles of the oatmeal bath and lotion. He walked towards the dollar aisle to look for socks or mittens they could wear so they wouldn’t scratch so much. He then remembered to call Eric Delko, his lab’s assistant director.
“Delko?”
“Hey Eric. It’s Sheldon. I’m sorry I’m calling so late. Hope I’m not interrupting.”
“I’m still up and no you’re not interrupting. Donnie’s in the kitchen putting his lasagna together for dinner tomorrow. What’s up?”
“Chicken pox crisis at my house.”
“How many?”
“All four.”
“Ouch. Glad it’s not us over here.”
“Believe me, I know. I’m at Walgreens now getting some stuff. I’m gonna come in about seven in the morning and leave around noon. I have to be on the FBI conference call at nine in the new lab so I can demo the new machine. I’m gonna see if Derek won’t mind going in around one or so. Can you cover after I leave?”
“Yeah, it’s no problem. Tomorrow is Donnie’s half day so he can pick up Marisol and Jess. Ryan’s scheduled to supervise overnight. Do I need to call in Hodges for Wednesday morning?”
“I don’t know yet. I’ll let you know after we put the kids to bed tomorrow.”
“Cool. Let me know of you need anything else.”
“Thanks, I will.” He hung the phone. He had found some gloves. Next, he went down the food aisle and racked up on Jell-O, crackers and apple juice. He grabbed another bottle of children’s aspirins and headed to the pharmacy to make sure he had what he needed.
                Derek had managed to get everyone to brush their teeth and take an aspirin. All four of his babies were sitting at the kitchen table with crackers in front of them and sweet teas in their cups.
“You don’t want to gulp the tea; sip it. Eat a cracker and sip a little more.”
“What is that supposed to do daddy?” Ben asked.
“It’s supposed to help settle your stomach.”
“Settle?”
“Yeah, stop the cycles.”
“Oh ok.”
“Daddy’s gonna make a phone call ok? You guys just keep sipping your tea.” Derek phoned Helen Anderson, his most senior SSA and the assistant for their team.
“Anderson?”
“Hey Helen, it’s Derek. I’m not calling too late am I?”
“Perfect timing. Boyd and I just finished a Skype call to Michaela.”
“How is the college freshman?”
“She’s good. Just finishing her shift at the library. What’s going on with you?”
“Chicken pox has invaded our family.”
“All four?”
“Yep.”
“Sweet tea, Aveeno and Jell-O were our best friends.”
“Sheldon’s gone to Walgreens now. Anything else that you can think you that will help?”
“Soup and crackers, but I bet you’ve got that covered.”
“Yeah. I’m gonna stay here in the morning and try to get some sleep. I’ll Skype the conference call from my home office and try to come in after one or so. I’ll double check with Sheldon and see what his schedule is. There’s no way either of us can take care of four sick kids at once. Four well kids is tiring enough.”
“Been there, done that. I doubt that we’ll have anything but consults tomorrow anyway.”
“If we get called out, I may not go with you at all or I may join a day or so later, depending on the case. Make sure Garcia is off rotation this week. I’m sure she’ll want to spend some time with the kids.”
“Absolutely. Anything else?”
“Nothing I can think of. See you on the call.”
“Good night Derek.”

                When Sheldon arrived, the kids were getting sleepy; a combination of the fever and being up so late. They managed to get them upstairs, applied the anti-itch lotion and explained the reason for the gloves. They discussed the plans for the next day and Derek went downstairs to make Jell-O and call Garcia. She was always up.
                The husbands managed to sleep a little with the aid of the baby monitors one in each room and garbage pails by each bed. Derek’s eyes seemed to open every time he heard a cough or bed sheet rustle. Sheldon left at 6:30 so he could drop off the permission slips for their field trip the next week. He also let them know why the MarKes were out of school. He arranged for Garcia to pick up their homework and he headed in to the lab.
It was a little after 10 a.m. and Derek had almost made it through his entire conference call before Fiona came into his office and climbed into his lap. Not something that he wanted Director Strauss to see but it was unavoidable. Everyone on the office waved to her and she meekly waved back.
“Anybody else up beside you?”
“I think Doug.”
“Ok. You hungry?”
“A little.” She said, trying not to scratch her face. The sweet tea had done the trick. The hives were up and out.
“Well, everybody, I will see you after one. Let’s me see what will stay down this morning.”And he signed off the call.
                The kids all managed a half a piece of toast, a few spoonfuls of Jell-O and a half a cup of juice. He gave them another round of children’s aspirin and let them watch some TV. About 15 minutes later, Ben was throwing up and Fiona about 10 minutes after that. Bianca and Doug seemed to be ok for the moment. Soon they all were asleep. Sheldon walked in the door about 12:30. The kids were just waking up. They thought they would try them with some soup broth and more toast. They weren’t ready for soup yet but they all managed to eat a full piece of toast and a little more Jell-O.
                After lunch, Sheldon decided to try the Aveeno bath and see that would make them feel better.
“This is definitely not the stuff we had.” Derek commented.
“No it’s not. It’s much better looking and smelling.”
“I just hope it works.” They bathed their children, applied the lotion, put them in fresh pajamas and down for a nap. Sheldon went downstairs to eat clean up from the kids’ lunch. Derek changed his clothes and grabbed the two monitors for his husband to keep with him. He wasn’t in a suit today. Jeans and a nice shirt would have to do. Strauss could complain all she wanted but she didn’t live in his house. Besides, she was just visiting; she’d be leaving in a few days. Derek kissed Sheldon and was off to the office. Not having much sleep, Sheldon soon fell asleep in his favorite chair with the monitors sitting on his chest. Pen seemed to be calling his name three times in a row in order to wake him up “Sheldon, Sheldon, Sheldon.”

“Sheldon, Sheldon, Sheldon” became the “buzz, buzz, buzz” of a call coming through his cell phone. The doctor blinked his eyes, trying to figure out where he was. The bedroom of his apartment? Wasn’t he just in a house, napping in a recliner? “buzz, buzz, buzz” He finally picked up the phone.
“Hawkes?”
“Aha, I figured you were asleep. You never take this long to answer my call.” The voice of his boyfriend Derek came through very clear.
“I’m sorry. I fell asleep waiting for your call.”
“Interesting dream?” Sheldon thought.
“Yeah, pretty interesting.”
“Was I in it?”
“Yeah, but it wasn’t romantic in any way. Well, I take that back. If you like the idea of being a family man then it could be a little romantic.”
“What happened?”
“We had four five-year-olds with chicken pox.”
“Four huh?”
“Yeah. Why? Does that mean something to you?”
“Maybe. Something in a dream I had. I wonder if they are related.”
“Care to tell me about it?”
“Yeah. You ready to be shocked?”
“Try me.”
