Jude rubbed Winston's back through the coughing fit, waiting for him to catch his breath. Once he did, he offered him the glass of water. "You okay, sweetheart? The cough will probably get worse before it gets better. You're not whining, you're lamenting to the person you're in a relationship that you feel ill because you are ill. Some people only get very mild symptoms and sure, the world is healing, but it can still be a nasty virus for some. It can make you feel pretty crap for a bit. Just let it run its course. Reecy will still be here when you're feeling better and you're back to testing negative." Winston's muscles felt a little knotty with tension so he made sure to work them gently. He didn't want to make his aches and pains worse. "Being a godfather is getting all the fun parts of kids but still being able to give them back at the end of the day. Don't be terrified, they're just little people, really. Babies are loud and messy, sure, but once you get the basic skills of taking care of the, they're a breeze. Wanting or not wanting kids isn't always a static thing for people. Our wants and desires can change. But I do really believe some people just don't want or need that to be a part of their life. And it is for life. Not to mention stressful. It changes everything, so it's not surprising some people just don't have it on their radar. I think you'd be incredible with children if you needed to be but I can also see that it's not something that feels natural to you. Don't worry, it's a learn on the job assignment. Your godson or goddaughter are going to adore you and vice versa. It will happen. Trust me."
