RP: My baby is ill! Date: March 2, 2006 Characters: Ella, Justin, Millicent Location: Their home, the shack Private/Public: Private Rating: PG Warnings: Sick Ella Summary: Millicent is through waiting, her daughter is ill and she's bringing her to the Shack.

Ella coughed, stiring in her bed, a pitiful whimper escaping her.
'Mummy, it hurts,' she said weakly. 'Can you make the hurt go away.'
