Realistic or Modern Falling. Fading Away

[decadent-rider]

He nodded slowly. “And I assume you want me to shut my mouth when I do meet her? Babe she hasn’t been to see you in months. She wanted you to go to her while I was practically dying for a whole week? I don’t want her around our kid from everything you’ve told me” he told her seriously.

She nodded and smiled some. “I gotta get started on the next one too…. We gotta start working out this touring situation though cause no overlap is not good. Edens gonna think we aren’t together at this rate.” She sighed a little, starting to feel a little rough around the edges while Eden moved to watch the tv a little, cuddling into her dads leg, grabbing fistfuls of his leg hair and pulling on it hard.

Max sighed heavily and gave a small nod "I've already had it out with her about that. Look I know she won't be in our child's life, we can agree on that. If I get this done now though, then I'll probably not have to deal with her for the rest of the pregnancy." She explained hoping he would understand.

Noah yelped when she pulled his leg hair and nodded some "Yeah we definitely gotta figure that out. I'll make sure that it is known to my team." He murmured before handing her the phone and kissed her cheek gently "You feeling okay?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded. “Just like I’m coming down with something.” She sighed a little. By the following morning she was running a high fever and spending most of her time hugging the toilet bowl, mumbling a thank you when Noah brought her a bottle of water and the puke bowl in bed, “I got Eden, I can set her up with the tv and her playpen, she’ll be fine. I’ll be fine.” She mumbled exhausted and frowned when he just laughed at her.

He sighed but nodded and went to sit at the table. “Alright. But I’m going with you and I don’t promise to be on my best behaviour with her if she starts acting up.” He told her seriously.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah gave a soft chuckle and shook his head some "I don't think so, I'll pack her bags and take her up to the studio with me." He said before kissing her forehead gently "I want you to rest."

Max gave a small nod and kissed his cheek gently "I won't stop you." She murmured

 

[decadent-rider]

She grumbled but nodded. “Thank you.” She mumbled, trying to get to sleep after that to rest it off.

Nick looked up when he heard the now very familiar sound of Eden yelling and smiled seeing Noah bringing her in. “I only handed you off yesterday little one. Already back for more?” He chuckled. “She replacing folio then?” He asked Noah.

He spent the rest of the day just trying to recoup as much of his energy as possible but he was still worn out the following morning and got up to make himself coffee and go sit in his office to get some work done, jumping when he heard max come in. “I need to put a bell on you or soMerging. Scaring me every time I’m in here.” He smiled, reaching for her to come closer.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah chuckled softly and set her bags down "Carmen is under the weather. So I brought the little one to help." He said before handing her to Nick while he set up a little play area for her.

Max giggled softly and smiled happily at him "Sorry, I don't mean to." She murmured before going to sit on his lap kissing him gently "I just wanted to come in and make sure you slept good."

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled and nodded, holding her close. “I’ve definitely slept worse” he smiled and kissed her cheek. “You got work today? If not I thought I’d schedule a house viewing.” He told hee.

He nodded and smiled bouncing her a little until the play area was set up and he put her down in it but she was already sobbing for someone to pick her up again, reaching for hee dad when he was trying to talk to Matt.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small smile and shook her head some "No work today. They're working me up a new schedule since I crash around 7 now. No way that I can do night shifts anymore." She murmured

Noah frowned as Eden started sobbing and gave a small sigh. He picked her up and went back to Matt just hoping she'd stay calm "As I was saying, I gotta make sure that our tours don't overlap with Carmen's. Just so that Eden has atleast one of us there at all times."

 

[decadent-rider]

She was content enough as long as he was holding her, playing with his chain a little and occasionally grabbing at his face while he was trying to work, squealing happily

Jolly stepped over a little while later to take her for a bit, smiling at the sigh of relief from Noah, “she’s getting to be a handful huh.” He chuckled hearing her saying dada over and over.

He smiled and shook his head. “Oh my poor baby. Seven?” He chuckled a little “I’ll make sure I schedule both the viewings way before that then.” He teased a little and kissed her cheek.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah gave a small sigh of relief as Jolly came over to Eden later that day to take her off his hands "Yeah, I didn't think she'd be this clingy." He said before running a hand over his face "I think we may need to look into Daycare, that way she can start socializing with other babies." He murmured

Max laughed a bit and cuddled him some "You laugh but its a real struggle." She said before kissing under his chin "You want me to leave you alone so you can do some work?"

 

[decadent-rider]

He shook his head. “I was away for two weeks. And I know that to you… two weeks is like a whole year, so go get your breakfast and come sit in here cause I only got a little to get done.” He told her, smiling as he watched her practically running out

Eden squealed and wriggled trying to get down, going over to where the now abandoned play area was set up for her, grabbing a book and her cuddly before heading back over to her dad and trying to hand him the book. “Mama!”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah gave a small sigh and picked her up smiling a bit "Mama is at home honey, I can read to you though." He murmured hoping she would be okay with that and not throw a tantrum.

Max giggled excitedly before she got up and rushed out to make her breakfast. She came back around 10 minutes later and set herself up on the fouton to eat while he worked quietly.

 

[decadent-rider]

He had been leaning against his desk and holding his side until he heard the door open, jumping a little and looking
Like hee been busy working. “I’ve emailed the realtor about those houses. Should get an answer here soon.” He smiled a little, cracking on with some editing.

She pouted a little at him but let him take the book, not really paying attention, instead looking around the room and watching everyone working, eventually falling asleep cuddled up to Noah

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled some as he came in and nodded "Sounds good, I was thinking....what if we got a puppy? Keep me some company while you're gone and our baby could grow up with it." She said giving a small smile while she ate her berries happily completely unaware he was in pain again by how well he was hiding it.

Noah smiled softly as he fell asleep against him. He got up and set her up safely on the couch before he sat beside her with his laptop to start mixing a few things he had on there.

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded. “We could get a dog. But we gotta wait til we get the house beautiful cause we can’t have pets here remember?” He asked her, smiling a little as he watched the realisation cross hee face. “And maybe we wait til I’m home for a bit longer than just a couple weeks? What are you gonna do on your own with a puppy and heavily pregnant?” He asked her, getting his work finished up within the hour and checked his emails. “I’m gonna go shower then I got an errand to run. But I’ll come back and pick you up so we can go look at those houses this afternoon.” He promised.

Carmen was still feeling awful when she called Noah halfway through the afternoon. “Hey handsome… how’s our tiny terror doing? She let you get any work done?” She asked him quietly. “You finally gonna let me get her into daycare?” She asked him. It had been Noah pushing back on daycare the whole time because he didn’t want her away from them but she was hoping he was understanding how little they got done with her around.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max thought long and hard before giving a small sigh "Yeah you're right, well alright then, another time for the puppy." She said giving a small smile to him. As he finished up and said he was leaving she gave a small nod and yawned some "Well thats alright, I might gp take a nap on the couch."

Noah answered his phone quickly when he saw Carmen's name and smiled some "Hey beautiful....she's uh...a handful for sure." He said before chuckling a bit "Yeah I think daycare might be something we need to look into. How are you feeling?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She sighed a little but nodded. “I’ll email you the three I like and book a tour.” She told him. “I feel like death but the fever has gone down at least.” She mumbled.

He nodded and sighed a little. “Alright. Get some rest.” He smiled, kissing her gently. “I love you.” He murmured, going to get freshened up and headed out to the hospital for an appointment he had, worried that something was going wrong but he didn’t want to freak her out in case it was nothing.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah gave a small sigh and nodded "Alright, well I'll be home in a few hours and I'll baby you okay? Get you whatever you need." He murmured with a small smile "Do I need to pick anything up before I get home?"

Max woke up an hour later and frowned not seeing Ricky home yet. She sent him a quick text to make sure he was okay before yawning and rubbing at her eyes.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and shook her head “No i got what I need I think.” She told him quietly, frowning. “Hey where’s Eden? Is she with you?” She asked him frowning a little.

He sighed as he got back in the car and called her. “Hey, I’m on my way back, be ready to go okay?” He told her. “I’ll be fifteen minutes.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah gave a small smile and turned the camera to show her Eden passed out next to him on the couch "She's just napping next to me." He said happily before turning the camera back to face him "You want anything special for dinner? Soup or something?" He asked.

Max was ready by the time he got back but was still a little worried hoping he was alright "You get everything you needed to done?" She asked softly as they got into the car smiling widely as she noticed him open the door for her again "You haven't do that in a while."

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned a little and watched him. “Where are you? I don’t… I thought you were at home…. Am I not at home?” She asked him frowning a little and trying to sit up. “This looks like home.”

He nodded and smiled, getting back in and kissed her cheek. “I’m not allowed to look after my pregnant wife? Mrs. Olson?” He smiled at her, driving them to get her a Starbucks first before heading to the first house

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah frowned deeply and sat up quickly "I'm at the studio babe, remember?" He asked worriedly about to start packing up depending on her answer

Max smiled sweetly and blushed lightly "I can't have too much of this now, they said to reduce caffiene." She murmured as she sipped at her drink

 

[decadent-rider]

“I know they did… which is why you get one Starbucks a day. No more.” He told her, taking her hand. “We can start buying the caffeine free soda too.” He pointed out, parking up outside. “This has a good school district.” He told her, taking her hand when she got out

Carmen frowned and shook her head. “But you were only here five minutes ago.” She frowned, “where’s Eden?” She asked again,

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a big smile and squeezed his hand "Who would have thought we'd be thinking about what school districts are best." She said happily as they walked up to the house.

Noah shook his head some and quickly closed his laptop "No babe we've been gone a couple hours. Listen I'm coming home now okay? I promise."

 

[decadent-rider]

She hummed in response, starting to fall asleep and frowning when he yelled on the other end. “What? I’m just tired.” She told him slurring a little.

He shrugged a little and frowned. “Hey babe I left something I. The car, I’ll be right in.” He promised, pecking her cheek and heading back to the car for a moment to compose himself from everythi g going on in his mind right now. He went back up to the house after just a couple minutes and smiled as he greeted the realtor, taking maxs hand again and giving it a gentle squeeze, walking round with her
