Aerith looked down, sitting back down again. She curled up on the couch, Ynyr lying on her stomach, her arms protective around him.
"She'll be okay..." she promised.
"... She has to be."

The Doctor and Zack were hard at work for some time before Zack returned with a sooking Ashlynn nestled sleeping in his arms. She whined slightly in her sleep, but the screaming had stopped.
"We have to keep her fever in check and the doctor is going to consult some people to see what he can do. He thinks the fever is her body working over-time to fight an infection that's been caused by the Mako..." He winced slightly, knowing this news wouldn't be well received, "As long as we can help her beat the fever he's confident her body will fix the infection."

Aerith felt her fingertips tingle with magic as she carefully readjusted Ynyr.
"What can I do?"

Zack shrugged slightly, "We just have to keep her cool, and yet warm at the same time..." he shook his head, "To break the fever."

"I can do that," Aerith said hopefully.
She just wanted to help... But she didn't know how to heal someone of the presence of Mako in their system.

Zack looked at Aerith softly for a moment before he walked over and sat beside her.
"Alright... what should we do first." He asked with a gentle smile.

Aerith touched Ashlynn's forehead with a cool hand before she looked up to Zack.
"Perhaps... change her into something lighter... we can wrap her in blankets if she gets cold."

"Alright." Zack said, offering the baby girl to her mother, "I'm going to go get some clothes for her." Once Aerith took her Zack would stand and disappear into the other room for a moment.

Aerith nodded, holding Ashlynn gently beside her brother. She kissed her tenderly, hating how her skin burned against her lips.
"Please get better baby..."

Ynyr whined and began to cry, little fingers reaching out towards his sister.

"Oh no, no, honey please..." Aerith begged, shifting Ynyr gently closer to his sister. She wasn't worried for his health - Ashlynn was clearly not contagious.
"Shh..." she soothed gently. "It's going to be okay..."
She cringed when she saw Ashlynn's eyes flutter open, but the little girl didn't start screaming again. She gave a couple of sniffs, before a poorly coordinated hand reached for her brother's and her eyes closed again.

When Zack returned the two children were clutching each other and sobbing quietly, he stopped and sighed, putting the clothes down for the time being, not wanting to disturb them, he sat down next to Aerith and drew her into a hug, knowing that she needed one.
"See, little Yn knows what to do too." He stroked Aerith's face softly.

"He loves her so much..." Aerith whispered, trying not to cry herself.
She looked up to Zack, leaning into him, kissing him gently.
"They are so perfect... I don't want anything to ever happen to them. Not now, not ever."

Zack shook his head as he kissed Aerith back softly, fingertips brushing her cheeks.
"I'd never let anything happen... i try my hardest to stop these things... sometimes i fail." He cast his eyes down, numerous past hurt surfacing in their depths, "But i am NOT going to let anything happen to you, Ashlynn or Ynyr ever again." His voice was filled with determination.

Aerith gave a small smile up to Zack, trying to reassure and encourage him.
"You haven't failed us yet," she whispered to him.
"We're all here, aren't we? You're a wonderful father and I don't think I could have done better than you."
She kissed him again.
"I love you so much."
