Realistic or Modern Be Ready For Me

By the time Carmen arrived as well she was sore and exhausted and just trying to keep it together long enough to see him awake and know that he was okay, heading up to where Nick had said they had put him and signed in, going to see his room. She noticed him stood in the doorway and just swallowed a little. "How's he doing?" She asked him quietly, heading in there and just frowned seeing Laura sat with him, not about to make a scene right now. "They get his temperature up yet?" She asked, frowning again when Laura answered for him. "Honestly, I wasn't talking to you. I'm trying to keep it that way because I'm not here to stir shit up. I got so many questions for you but right now, I wanna know how he's doing." She muttered, stepping out of the room when Nick guided her to, planning to sleep in the waiting room anyway.

Her Mom frowned and looked over at him, stepping over and placing a hand on his shoulder, "Will? Sweetheart?" She asked frowning more when he didn't respond at all and just continued to stare at the wall. "Do I need to get someone?" She asked, looking back to Max and went to hold her hand again, squeezing it in reassurance. "Honey I don't think he's gonna be able to be here right now." She frowned

Laura frowned when Carmen walked in and rolled her eyes when she started to ask questions "Obviously they have with the lack of blankets." She spat with a roll of her eyes before turning her attention back to Noah.

Nick quickly escorted Carmen out and shook his head a bit "They got his temp up. Its not perfect yet but its better than it was. Ignore her though alright?" He said quietly before sitting with her "They're keeping him sedated until tomorrow, once he gets fluids and atleast a few meals in they're wanting to send him to an actual mental hospital." He explained to her with a heavy sigh.

Max gulped and gave a small nod "Okay....can you call his mom for me? Maybe she could be with him and Maya." She said quietly trying to not break down in tears at the fact he would be missing the birth of their son and couldn't help it.

She sighed and just nodded. “I wanna know how the fuck it’s got this bad and she didn’t think to say anything to anyone. I don’t expect a single person to fix him but fuck me he didn’t get to this state overnight.” She mut5ered, rubbing at her face. “I need to go make a call but I’ll be back in a minute.” She told him quietly, heading out to go give her brother instructions for the animals

Laura had stepped out to talk to the nurses and asked for her to be kept out of the room while her and nick were gone, going to sit down again wi5h him and sighed. She still planned to leave him but she was too stubborn to let it be carnen who was there when he woke up.

She nodded and got it organised for his mom to come pick him up, staying with her the whole time instead, rubbing her back gently to try and soothe her. “I know this isn’t how you guys planned for it to go but you know he wants to be here.” She 5ikd her.

Nick gave a heavy sigh as he ran a hand over his face. He blamed himself a bit for not checking in sooner on him but he also had his own life to live and he just thought Noah may have wanted space.

Max cried quietly as she held onto her mother and nodded some "I know....I just feel like I'm loosing him completely." She said through sobs

Laura sat with him the next morning, smoothing his hair away from his face and frowning a little. “Noah I’m here. I’m right here.” She told him as he’d been asking since he woke up ‘where is she?’, still assuming he meant her. In reality she had assumed that carmen only knew what had happened because nick had told her. Not that in his crisis state he’d called carmen.

“You won’t honey. He’s just hitting a bump in the road.” She tried to reassure her. “But you got something more exciting to worry about right now. Did you guys pick a name yet?” She asked her, trying to keep her positive.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah frowned deeply when he woke up to see Laura there. He didn't remember much of the night, only that he had called Carmen at some point. "Where is she?" He asked again for what seemed like the hundreth time just as Nick walked into the room.

Max nodded some and placed a hand to her stomach "We decided on William James." She said quietly just trying to keep positive now like her mother told her.

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned when Laura just kept saying that she was right there. “Hey man…. If you mean Carmen, she’s in the waiting room.” He told him. “How you feeling?” He asked him, knowing they probably still had him drugged up to keep him calm. “What do you remember?” He asked him gently, sitting down on the other side.

She nodded to her and smiled some. “I think that’s lovely. I bet maya can’t wait to meet him.” She smiled, just keeping her occupied so she wasn’t dwelling on what was going on with will.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah perked up a bit at the mention of Carmen "I don't....remember anything. Other than Carmen.." he said quietly looking at his best friend "Can I see her?" He asked completely ignoring Laura now.

The baby didn't take nearly as long as Maya did to get there. Within 5 hours Max held their son in her arms smiling happily down at him "You think his mom could bring Maya?" She asked her mom quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

He shook his head. “Not right now man. She’s finally eating something. Laura I need you to leave now…. I’ll call you when you can come back. Go get some lunch or something.” He told her firmly, waiting til she stormed off in a huff. “You scared us bad last night…. Stood on your front lawn soaking wet in your underwear, screaming about saving people…. They uh…. You’re gonna go get some help for a while once they’re satisfied you’re okay to leave.”

She nodded and kissed her head, going to make the call for her and give her a minute with the little one, calling Maria and spoke to her for a minute before heading back in and smiled at her. “She uh… she can bring her in about an hour.” She told her, not wanting to stress her out too much right now.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah gave a small nod and frowned deeply as he ran a hand over his face "I don't....shit I just want to see her." He whispered closing his eyes as he felt some nausea run over him since he had nothing on his stomach still "Food....they got anything?" He asked quietly actually having an apetite for the first time in a while.

Max nodded smiling as she looked at the baby in her arms "God he looks just like Will." She said quietly letting a few tears fall "Is he okay?" She asked frowning when her mom said nothing "Mom....did she say if Will was okay or not?"

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded. “I’ll see what they can do alright? Then I’ll send her in.” He promised.

Carmen finished up with her lunch and soon headed in to see him having not slept a wink, going over to him silently, sitting on the edge of the bed and took his hand in hers tightly.

She nodded. “He’s alright. He’s just…. He’s still really hazy is all. She’s worried because he’s not really recognising his surroundings. But his sister is gonna go keep an eye on him while she brings maya down.” She told her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah smiled happily when he saw her walk in "Hey.....Nick's getting food for me.." he said quietly before squeezing her hand gently "He told me...what happened. I'm sorry....I only remember calling you." He said softly

Max nodded and gave a heavy sigh "Alright....I just...I hope it passes soon." She murmured before letting a few tears fall.

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded slowly, frowning. “I’m just glad you’re doing okay.” She told him quietly, “and you can take my advice or you can ignore it but if this is how you’ve ended up with Laura, then you need to drop her and move on…. Because I don’t… I don’t want the next call to be that you’re dead.” She choked out. “Maybe we didn’t work out but I will always care about you Noah.” She told him quietly, reaching over with her bandaged hand and gently pushed some hair out of his face.

She nodded and looked down to the baby, smiling. “Oh look at him sweetheart.” She smiled. “I thought I’d come stay with you for a few days while you get settled if you like.” She suggested. “I know you know what you’re doing but it’s a lot right now and I want to help if I can.” She told her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah let a few tears of his own fall "What happened?" He asked as he gently took her bandaged hand in his. He looked over it gently and tensed when she said it had been him last night "I-I stabbed you?" He asked quietly before letting more tears fall "Carmen....shit Carmen I'm so sorry."

Max nodded appreciatively "Yes, that would be great." She said quietly before kissing the top of little Will's head "Got a head full of hair just like Maya did."

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head and frowned again. “I already know that. It’s alright. I promise you it’s alright.” She coaxed, “they’re gonna make me leave in a bit alright? But when you are doing better, we should go have a catch up.” She told him quietly.

She nodded and smiled at him, glancing over at the door though when it opened and Will stepped through the door with maya holding his hand, looking much more like himself now and she shook her head at his timing of surprising his wife.
