Alaska pov.

Austin and I were playing with our siblings when his temperature started to drop and he started shaking. He grabbed on to my sleeve and pulled me down to his height.

"Juneau I need to throw up, can you come with me?" He asked, trying to hide his gagging from the others.

"Yeah, but we need to tell dad ok?" I told my brother. He nodded and held his stomach with his free hand, still tugging on my sleeve with his right hand. I gently picked him up and excused us from our siblings as we made our way to dad. Once we told him, he followed us to the bathroom and got some medicine for Austin.

"Juneau, what's my temperature at?" Austin asked, his voice gaining a rough scratchiness to it. It threw me off as his accent became more prominent. I grabbed the thermometer and pointed it at Austin's forehead and saw that it went up to 100° Fahrenheit.

"Austin you have a fever, your temperature is 100° Fahrenheit." I told him.

"But I feel cold as hell." He replied, the rough scratchiness still there.

"Here Lone Star, take this, it'll help with the fever and your throat." Dad told Austin.

"Thanks dad." Austin replied, taking the medicine dad gave him.

"Ok both of you, you can go back to the living room, but stay on the couch, tell the others it's a movie day." Dad told us, we nodded and I picked up Austin and carried him to the living room, and told the others that it was a moive day, and they quickly set up the living room with Russia's help. I put Austin on the couch while I helped our siblings set everything up, but made sure to stay in his line of sight.

Texas pov.

Once everyone finished settin' up for the movie day, Juneau came back and sat next to me, wrappin' her arm 'round my waist. I leaned into her makin' myself comfortable, Russia sat on my right to make sure I was alright and that I had enough space to comfortably lay down in Juneau's lap if I wanted to sleep.

"You good there Austin?" Juneau asked. I hummed in response curlin' in closer to her.

"Mary, can you pass me the remote please?" Dad asked.

"Here you go dad." Mary replied, handin' dad the remote. Dad opened Disney+ and we started to watch Rio. We started to sing with the birds and some of the others started to dance along. At some point Juneau started playing with my hair. I started fallin' asleep half way through the movie, sliding down into Juneau's laps so I didn't hurt my neck.

Alaska pov.

"Dad Austin's asleep, and it's getting close to lunch time." I told dad, he nodded and got up to see who's cooking lunch and when would they be finished.

"Poland is making lunch with Germany, and it should be done in a few minutes." Dad told me. I nodded and nudged Austin.

"What's up Juneau?" Austin asked, his voice still raspy, and a bit deeper than it was earlier.

"Lunch is almost done." I told him.

"Thanks for wakin' me up." He replied. After a few minutes we heard screaming from one of the rooms. Russia got up to check and came back with Australia holding a snake.

"I left her outside, you gotta believe me mate, Belarus didn't want her in the room, so I left her in the pet house. I don't know how she got in there." Australia complained, struggling to get free. Dad walked in, just in time to see Russia and Australia with his snake.

"Florida did you move the snake?" Dad asked sternly. The sibling in question nodded. Dad sighed and walked away.

"I'll go put her back in her enclosure." Australia told Russia, and was let down. Once dad came back with plates for everyone we continued the movie and enjoying the day. As the movie ended, we chose the movie Maleficent the mistress of evil. Once we finished eating, Kota got up and took the plates to the kitchen and came back to continue the movie. I felt Austin shift his head into my lap again, so I started playing with his hair. His hair is so soft and fluffy, he never let's anyone touch it normally, but it's the only way I get him to sleep peacefully. I felt him relaxing into my touch, and continued to watch the movie. I might be younger than Austin, but he's my little brother in terms of height. Once he was fully asleep I kept playing with his hair to prevent flashbacks and night terrors for the time being.

"Alaska, is Texas asleep?" Russia asked.

"Yeah, he needs to rest anyways." I replied.

Mexico pov.

The kids were watching movies today so they could wind down and have a chill day, while some of the other countries catch up on office work.

"Hey Mexico, do you know where Zealand went? I haven't see her at all today." Australia asked.

"Have you checked the living room? I think everyone who finished catching up went there to join the movie day." I replied as I finished working. "We can head there together, I just finished catching up myself." I told him, he nodded and we walked to the living room and sat down in a free space, near Zealand. Confederate and NATO joined us not long after, pretty soon it was close to dinner and Russia got up, with Ame right behind him. I looked at Alaska and saw that Lone Star was asleep. "Hey Alaska, can you wake Lone Star up? It's almost time for dinner." I told my niece, she nodded and nudged the Texan in her lap.

"Mornin' Juneau." Lone Star spoke, his voice horse from the cold.

"It's almost dinner Austin, dad and Russia just left for the kitchen." Alaska told her brother.

"Thanks for wakin' me Juneau." Lone Star replied, softly to not strain his voice anymore. Once Russia and America came back with dinner, Maple and I got up and helped pass out the plates, and everyone started eating. It didn't take long for everyone to finish eating, and retire to their rooms for the night, Alaska picked up Lone Star and went to bed.

"I'll watch them tonight, you look exhausted Nada." Confetti told Maple.

"Thanks Confed, I'll see you guys in the morning, night." Maple replied triedly and walked to his room. We had said our good nights to the others then retreated to our rooms for the night.
