"Chris wake up baby."

It was 5 in the morning and the Glee Cast had an early call today. They had to be in the studio at 7 to start rehearsing and then filming. It was going to be a long day.

No sound from Chris.

Again Amber called him to wake up, but Chris lay fast asleep. Amber hated waking people up, especially if they looked so peaceful in their sleep, but this was urgent because Chris and Amber had less than an hour to get ready.

Amber decided to pull the covers on him this time and surprisingly it worked.

Chris moaned and pleaded for Amber to let him sleep more. "Amber just five more minutes, I promise."

"Ok fine, but if you don't wake up in five minutes I'm pouring water on your face!"

Five minutes later Chris woke up and trudged to sit down at the breakfast table.

"Here, I made you some pancakes and some coffee." Amber said.

"I'm not hungry, but I'll drink the coffee. That I need." Chris said with a laugh.

"What do you mean you're not hungry! Chris you have to eat something, today's going to be really long. Who knows when they're going to feed us over there!"

"Ugh fine, I'll have one pancake. But that's it."

An hour later, Chris and Amber were on their way to the car to get to the studio.

"Amber, do you mind if you drive this time? I'm kind of dizzy, and I think I need to catch up on my sleep."

"Sure sweetie. And I told you, you should've eaten some more food! That one pancake isn't going to last you for the whole day!"

"No, no, it's not that I'm hungry. I ate enough. I just have a minor migraine. I think that after I get some sleep, I'll be fine."

"Ok, whatever you say….."

The car ride was long and quite, since Chris was quietly sleeping in the passenger seat. Amber put some music on, but it was low enough so Chris wouldn't be woken up by the sound. Amber hummed quietly to her favorite songs. Before she knew it, they had arrived at the studios. She saw some of her other cast mates arriving too. Heather, Cory, and Mark were all getting out of their cars carrying a coffee in their hands.

Once again, Amber nudged Chris to wake up, but he wouldn't budge. She felt kind of worried for him. He actually looked a little paler than normal and she wondered if he was getting sick or something. She felt his forehead for a fever and realized it was warm. This concerned her even more.

Amber decided not to wake him up this time. She didn't want him losing sleep when this was the time where he needed it the most. She called Cory, who had parked the closest to her car, to come and help her with Chris.

"Hey Cory, you can come over here for a minute? I need some help."

"Sure. (walks over to Amber's car.) Ok what's the problem?"

"Well Chris kind of fell asleep on the ride here. I don't want to wake him up. He kind of looks like he's having early symptoms to a cold or something. He's definitely paler than normal and his forehead is also warmish. I want him to sleep as much as possible because today we'll be working all day. He needs his sleep.

"Ok well help me get him out of the car, and then I can carry him inside. Besides he's only like 20 pounds! This will be easy."

Carefully, Amber and Cory got the sleeping Chris successfully out of Amber's car, without waking him up, and then Cory hoisted Chris up effortlessly bridal style, and started walking with Amber towards the entrance of the studio.

Once they entered the studio, they met with a confused Ryan Murphy.

"What happened to Chris? Is he ok? Did he fall somewhere? Did he get injured?"

"Ryan, Ryan, relax he's ok. He's just a little tired and we didn't want to wake him up." Amber budded in. "Also he might have a slight fever."

"WHAT!" Ryan shouted which caused Chris to wake up.

"Oh sweetie, go back to sleep." Amber advised. "We'll wake you up when it's time."

With that Chris closed his eyes again and went back to sleep within seconds.

This time a little more quietly Ryan questioned, "Wait, Amber, did you say that Chris has a fever?"

"Well I'm not positive, but he did seem a little warm when I touched his forehead."

"Yeah he does seem a little warm even right now," Cory who was still holding Chris stated.

"Well you know what, I have a couch in our main practice studio. We can put him there on the side and wake him up when we need him." Ryan said.

"Yeah but don't we need him for our big dance number that we're filming today?" Cory asked.

"Well, we'll see on how he's doing. Right now he just needs some rest. He'll probably be over the whole thing when he wakes up nice and fresh."

Cory and Amber both nodded in agreement.

Cory and Amber followed Ryan where he showed them where to place Chris. Cory placed him down easy and steadily on the couch and Ryan brought over a blanket to cover Chris up.

"There, that should do it." Ryan said.

"Aww, he looks like an angel." Amber smiled.

"He sure does." Cory agreed.
