Author's Note

I decided that i wanted to change the age for some of these chapters so indigo is only 3 years old in this chapter.

Thunder: indigo‘s father

Lightning: indigo’s mother

Ear infection

Indigo: mummy!

Lightning: ugh what time is it?

Thunder: it’s about 2:00 am why?

Lightning: because indy’s screaming I don’t know why

Indigo: MUMMY!

Lightning: I’m going to go and see what the problem is

Thunder: ok what you say

Indigo had woken up with an awful pain in her right ear and had been screaming for her mum for about an hour. Lightning had finally woken up from the screaming and gone into to indigo’s room to see what she was crying about. When she walks into her daughters room, indigo’s face was stained with tears and she looked rather flushed. Indigo finally saw her mum coming into the room.

Indigo: mummy! (hiccup)

Lightning: oh baby whats the matter?

Indigo: (crying) I don’t feel very well!

Indigo’s mum felt her forehead

Lightning: you feel very hot, is anything in particular hurting?

Indigo: (wails) my ear!

Lightning: ok, ok shh let me have a look. She looked at indigo’s ear and it looked very red and sore.

Lightning: oh baby I think your ear might be infected

Indigo: make it go away!

Lightning: Oh I can’t right now darling, I’ll get you some calpol and you can come and sleep with me and daddy for the rest of night, and I’ll call the doctors as soon as it opens. She got indigo the calpol and took her back into her and her husbands bedroom.

Thunder: you’ve been a while, is everything ok?

Lightning I think she might have an ear infection, I’m going to call the doctor first thing tomorrow

Thunder: ok but right now let’s all try and get some sleep. They all fell asleep in the big bed for the rest of the night.

When indigo woke up her ear was hurting twice as much as it was the night before, when she woke up her parents were not by her side as they had already woken up, and her mum had already called the doctor.

Indigo: mummy! (Hiccup)

Lightning: it sounds like she’s up

Thunder: she wants you, you go up and get her I’ll finish making breakfast

Lightning: ok but I can’t see indy wanting anything:
Indigo was heavily sobbing when her mum walked into her room

Lightning: hey what’s the matter?

Indigo: (crying) you left me!

Lightning: I was just downstairs with daddy baby, he’s making breakfast do you want anything to eat?

Indigo: shakes head

Lightning: ok baby lets go downstairs and I’ll check your temperature again. They went downstairs and and lightning checked indigo’s temperature again , and it had risen about 2 degrees.

Thunder: how is she?

Lightning: her temperature seems to have risen

Thunder: ok what time is her appointment?

Lightning: 10:30

Thunder: ok

(At the doctors office) lightning had driven herself and indigo to the doctor’s and it hadn’t been a pretty journey. Indigo was in a lot of pain with her ear and her fever seemed be getting higher despite the fact her mum had given her more calpol. They were sitting in the waiting area at the doctors indigo had fallen asleep in her mums arms. They had been waiting for 20 minutes when they were finally called in to see the doctor.

Doctor brown: so what seems to be the problem here?

Lightning: my daughters ear is really red and sore and her temperature seems to be sky high, I think she might have an ear infection.

Doctor brown: (turned to indigo) ok can I have a look sweetie? He went to touch indigo’s ear

Indigo: N-no!

Lightning: hey shh calm down the doctor just wants to look at your ear so he can make it better.

Indigo: but it hurts!

Lightning: I know it does but it won’t get better if the doctor doesn’t look at it.

Indigo: ok.

Doctor brown: ok so it looks like indigo’s ear is infected, i suggest plenty of rest and calpol to keep her temperature down and I’ll prescribe her some antibiotics for the infection, I’m guessing you want it in a liquid form?

Lightning: yes please

Doctor brown: ok I’ll be right back. He went out back to fetch the medicine.

Doctor brown: here you go just give it to 3 times a day for the next 4 days and she should be right as rain in no time.

Lightning: ok thank you

Lightning had given indigo the medicine in the car and indigo had fallen asleep in the car. When they got back to the house she was beginning to stir and eventually woke up, her mum carried her into the house and put her on the couch then covered her with the blanket that they had thrown over the couch. Indigo realised that her ear was still really hurting and she started to sob.

Lightning: hey what’s wrong?

Indigo: my ear is still h-hurting!

Lightning: oh baby it’ll take a few minutes for the medicine to work

Indigo: but I want the hurt to go away NOW!

Lightning: shh shh I know you do, why don’t we have a cuddle on the sofa and watch Mickey Mouse?

Indigo: o-ok (she wiped her eyes)

Thunder: does anyone want anything to eat?

Lightning: no thank you love , are you off to work?

Thunder: yeah I’ll not be home late tonight

Lightning: ok: Lightning had indigo in her arms has she was rocking and shushing her daughter as she kept crying that her ear was hurting.

Lightning: shhh shhh come on baby I know it hurts but try to get some sleep you might feel better once you do. Eventually after a lot of soothing talk and rocking indigo finally fell asleep in her mums arms, when she woke up she was a little groggy but her ear wasn’t hurting as bad anymore.

Lightning: hey sweetie you feeling a little better?

Indigo: yeah can I have a drink please?

Lightning: yeah I’ll get you one and your due for some more medicine. She fetched indigo her drink and medicine. When thunder entered the house from his shift at work.

Thunder: hey

Lightning: hey how was work?

Thunder: same as usual, hows Indy?

Lightning: she seems better than she was a few hours ago

Thunder: that’s good I’ll go and see her

Lightning: ok would you take this into her( the drink and medicine)

Thunder: yeah ok. After about 4 days indigo’s ear infection started to heal up and she was feeling a lot better. She was starting to her energy and her appetite back and was back being the wild child she usually was.
