Hanna simply nodded, closing her eyes, her hand still resting on her forehead. "Alright." She looked up at him, frowning. "I think we may have some orange juice downstairs. I'm not sure." She sighed softly, feeling completely helpless. "Sorry. I feel like I'm being a bother." She said right before a coughing fit gripped her.

Jake nodded, getting back up from his seat again to head towards the door. "It's no problem, really." he told her, about to leave the room when Olivia stopped what she was doing noticing her brother was leaving. "Jake...." she whined, Jake explaining himself before she spoke any more. "I'll be right back guys. Stay here, and don't make too much noise. Hanna doesn't feel good." he told them, leaving for the kitchen without another peep from either of them.
He entered the kitchen again, opening the fridge to find the orange juice in there just like she said. "Now..where are the cups?" he asked himself, looking around the kitchen searching for the right cabinet. He was about to open up another cabinet then, when he heard the front door open and shut. Jake's head flew up, wondering who was coming in. "Uh, oh...this is gonna be awkward." he muttered to himself.

Hanna sighed and laid out on the couch, closing her eyes. This sucked. She hoped Jake didn't have a hard time finding the things he needed.
Maximillian walked up the front stairs, sighing. Another day at work, he was tired. He opened the front door. "Hello?" He called. "Anybody home?" Getting no response, he shrugged and walked into the kitchen, pausing when he saw someone in the kitchen. Frowning, he said, "Hello...? Who are you?"

Jake couldn't help but keep his gaze on the doorway from the kitchen, with the orange juice carton still in his left hand. "Um..hi." he managed to stumble out the words. "Oh..I'm Jake. I'm uh, a friend of Hanna's. You her brother?" he asked curiously, still feeling a bit awkward about this sudden introduction he was practically forced to have.

"Yeah, I'm Maximillian." He kept his frown in place as he closed the door and walked further into the kitchen. "Where is Hanna?" Hanna had heard the front door open, and heard Maxi's voice, but she was too tired to get up, and she didn't have the energy to call out to him. She only hoped that he would be somewhat nice to Jake.

Jake nodded his head towards Maximilian, in a way of greeting him. "Oh. Um, Hanna's upstairs in the guest room. I was just getting her some juice, on account that she's gotten a bit sick from--um, earlier today.." he stumbled out, about to continue on with his business but realized he still had no idea where the cups were. "Um..you think you could show me the cupboard that holds the cups?"

"Sick? Hanna hasn't been sick in years. How did she get sick?" He moved towards Jake and pointed to a cabinet by the fridge. "It's in that one." He sighed a bit and went back to the front door. "I'm gonna go buy some medicine for her, but knowing her she won't take it." Maxi opened the door and then turned back and said, "Hey, uh. Thanks for helping my sis." With that he turned and left.

"Well..." Jake shrugged at first, "she kinda saved my brother from drowning." he grinned wider, turning to grab the cup from the cupboard, pouring the juice into it before placing the carton back in the fridge again. "You're welcome." he smiled to the boy, leaving, heading back upstairs once Sebastian left. He opened the door to the Guest Room, finding the two little ones slowly starting to crash, as their arms and legs were spread out across the bed. He chuckled softly, before turning to Hanna then, handing her the orange juice he promised her. "Here you go. Oh, and, apparently your brother is heading off to the store to pick up some medicine for you. Just a heads up." he told her, his voice sounding more calm than he thought it would.

Hanna looked up when she heard Jake come back, and sat up slowly, smiling. "Thanks." She sat, taking a sip of her juice, only to choke on it when it went down the wrong way. She held her hand to her chest as she coughed, sighing once she calmed down. "This sucks." She said with a small pout.

Jake nearly jumped back when she started coughing again, immediately placing a hand to her back, patting it gently. "Careful." he muttered to her, finally taking a seat next to her. "Just keep drinking, the orange juice should help some. The medicine should help too, when your brother comes back with it." he told her, biting his lip then, thinking of how he met up with her brother. "He's cool, by the way. You're brother that is. I can tell he really cares about you."

Hanna nodded, sipping her juice slowly. "Yeah, he's the oldest out of all of us so he kinda took on the responsibility of father." She took another sip of her juice before setting it aside and laying her head on the back of the couch. "I should probably go to my room, I don't want to intrude on you anymore." She made no move to leave though, since she still didn't have any energy.

"I see." Jake nodded, glancing over to his siblings, spotting Sam already dead asleep while Olivia was still squirming around a little, but was getting real close to falling asleep as well. He turned back to Hanna then hearing her thought of what she should be doing. "Well, only if you want to. And don't worry about it, its not intruding if I invite you to stay in here." he told her, stealing one of her earlier lines she had told him before. "But if you still don't think you have the energy to even get up, then perhaps you should stay in here to rest." he reassured her again, with a light smile approaching his lips again.

Smiling a bit at hearing her own words come back to her, Hanna shifted a bit, trying to sit up. "But where will you sleep?" Hanna didn't want to take his spot, but she really didn't have any energy to go anywhere. She shifted over to the corner of the couch, since she was small enough to curl into the corner, and rested her head on the arm of the couch, leaving enough room for Jake to sit, and possibly stretch out.

Jake was about to answer, with the floor. But once he saw Hanna curl up in the little corner of the couch, his smile grew brighter. "I'm sure I'll come up with something." he replied, getting himself comfortable on the other side of the couch, not bothering to stretch out his legs as he was already used to curling into a tight ball. "And even if I don't find this couch comfortable for my own taste, I'll just sleep on the floor." he shrugged, "I can sleep pretty much anywhere, really. Being poor...I guess you could say I've gotten used to it." he explained, finding the other corner of the couch to be a lot more comfortable than expected.

Hanna smiled when she felt the couch move from Jake getting on, and couldn't help the light blush that spread on her cheeks. She curled tighter into a ball and sighed at his statement. She found herself wishing she could help them more than this, but she really didn't know what else she could do. "That sucks." She whispered.
