Realistic or Modern Falling. Fading Away

[Forever6A7X]

By the next morning Max was at the hospital with Ricky, Rory with Vinny thankfully for the day. She held his hand tightly and gave a small smile seeing him waking up "Hey there, how are you feeling?"

Noah woke up the next morning and groaned softly feeling Eden jumping on the bed "Eden....its too early." He murmured smiling though when she cuddled between him and Carmen "Ooooh okay good morning princess." He said quietly before wrapping his long arms around her and Carmen

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned a little, trying to move but stopped when she pushed him back down. “What’s… what are… why am I here?” He asked her confused, remembering going to pick up Rory but after that it was all fuzzy. “Where is he?” He asked looking around for him.

Carmen grumbled a little but scooted in close, pulling Eden in tightly to her. “If you ask real nice daddy could put some cartoons on for you, til we are ready to get up.” She mumbled, smiling when she heard Noah groan but felt the bed shifting, waiting til he came back and snuggled in close. “Dad to the rescue.” She murmured, “what time is it?” She asked him, burying her face into his shoulder

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small frown and sighed a bit "He's with Vinny for the day. Already at daycare, he's going to pick him up for us too." She murmured as she got him settled back down "You had another minor heart attack.."

Noah cuddled him close to her and sighed softly "Mmm its 7." He muttered quietly before he started to drift off again

 

[decadent-rider]

She sighed a little and set a timer for an hour before drifting off with him again. She got up once the timer went off and gently nudged Noah awake as well, “why don’t you take tiny terror out to get coffees while I get ready then we can take her to the park after that?” She suggested.

He frowned and shook his head. “But I don’t… I don’t understand. I’ve been good. I’ve been taking the right meds and I’ve been eating good and everything they told me to.” He frowned “It doesn’t… not fair.” He mumbled, giving her hand a squeeze.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah groaned some as he woke up again but gave a small nod "Alright, when do you want to tell her about the baby?" He asked as he sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

Max nodded and squeezed his hand gently "I know baby, I know. We're going to try and get some answers okay? They're gonna come talk to us soon.," she murmured softly

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded slowly and reached for her to come a little closer, placing one hand on her stomach with a little help. “How’s little one doing?” He mumbled, watching her tiredly. “Maybe… maybe we need a holiday. Like a real holiday, go see my parents for a couple weeks? They keep asking about when are we gonna bring Rory next?” He suggested quietly.

She smiled and watched him, walking over and pulling off his snore strip gently, kissing his forehead. “Once I start showing I think… I don’t want to risk telling her and it doesn’t work out.” She said a little quieter, pulling away to carry on getting ready for the day.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small smile and let him rubbed her stomach gently "They're good. I think that sounds like a good idea, we can relax and tell them about the baby." She murmured softly

Noah gave a small nod and got ready for the day. He stepped out of the room and called for Eden to come get dressed so they could go get some coffee and juice for them.

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded slowly, looking over when his doctor walked in ‘good timing if you’re awake, I got some good news and bad news…. Good news is the tests we ran came back with no indication of anything serious going on… bad news is they all came back inconclusive… which means we don’t know why you’re having these episodes. I know the hospital in France said it was a heart attack but that’s not quite accurate. It’s similar to a heart attack but not the same so we’re gonna send you home with a monitor to wear for a few days to see if it picks up on anything but other than that there’s not much we can do for you.” He told him sincerely

Eden ran to her room to get ready, demanding to wear one of her princess dresses, not wanting to put normal clothes on. She eventually got her dad to cave and happily left the house with him, reaching to be picked up. “Daddy I wanna go Disney world for my birthday.” She told him. “That’s what mommy said.” She confessed.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned a bit and gave him a small nod "Is there a specialist we could possibly talk to about this as well?" She asked

Noah raised an eyebrow as he held her "Huh? Mommy said you want to go to Disney for your birthday?" He asked frowning a bit as she nodded "I see, well is there something else you wanted to do?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head. “I want bluey cake.” She told him “mommy say Disney really fun.” She told him, holding onto him tightly while he carried her, “daddy I wanna go on shoulders.” She told him, wriggling to try and get up there, giggling when he helped lift her up, holding onto his head for balance. “I’m super tall!”

He nodded. “He’s being transferred to the cardiologist this afternoon but theres not much else they will be able to do for him.” He gestured for max to step out with him as rixky had fallen asleep again. “The other possibility is that this is all psychosomatic… im aware of how that sounds but with all of the tests coming up inconclusive, it’s not that big a stretch.” He told her gently. “He’s going to be discharged this afternoon after they come to see him but obviously if you need to come back do. I would strongly recommend that he goes home and just rests for a good couple weeks.” He explained.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah chuckled happily and gave a nod "Well Disney is super fun, amd I am sure we can do a Bluey cake." He said before helping her get on his shoulders "Yeah you are! Tallest girl in the world! Hold on tight!" He said before starting to do a very small run to get there loving to sound of Eden's squeals.

Max took a deep breath and nodded a bit "Alright, well we will make sure he rests and relaxes completely." She murmured before thanking him and going back into the room.

 

[decadent-rider]

He woke up shortly after again looking at her confused. “I don’t understand… there’s clearly something not right.” He told her frowning.

Carmen heard them get home a little later, grabbing her phone and heading downstairs to feed the cats. “You two have a good time?” She asked them, frowning when Eden pointed at her. ‘Mommy you’re busted’ she looked up at Noah confused seeing the smug look on his face. “What did I do?”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod and sighed heavily "We'll talk to the specialist okay? They'll be able to figure it out." She murmured not wanting to mention that it might be psycological right this second.

Noah let Eden run off to play before handing Carmen her coffee "Eden tells me that you are the one who suggested going to Disney, not her." He said before sitting down "She said all she wants in a Bluey cake."

 

[decadent-rider]

She blushed a little and looked up at him. “I may have encouraged her along the way. .. but wouldn’t it be so cool taking our daughter to Disney?” She smiked, kissing him gently. “God I gotta learn how to bribe hee better though little blabber mouth.” She giggled.

He frowned but nodded and squeezed her hand again. “I love you.” He told her quietly, “I feel like I’ve trapped you though.” He murmured.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah rolled his eyes and laughed a bit "I'm not opposing it am I?" He said happily before kissing her cheek "But we gotta find out if she wants just a simple Bluey cake or like that damn duck cake." He said giving a small laugh

Max shook her head some "You haven't done anything Ricky. I don't feel trapped at all." She said softly before kissing him gently "So don't go thinking that you did."

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and pulled her phone out. “I already contacted the woman who did our wedding cake. It’s not gonna be as crazy but she had some great kids stuff remember? So I’ve booked her for Edens party.” She told him. “I’m not here for that remember so I e sent you all the details and given them your email to contact you… listen this is the first birthday she’s gonna remember properly and I want her to know she has a mom and dad who love her” she told him frowning some. “It’s also probably gonna be the only birthday she remembers where she’s an only child.”

He nodded and sighed a little. “I should call my therapist when we get home. Maybe go do a few sessions before this next one arrives…. How long til we know what we’re having? You might end up super outnumbered….. you think you’d ever like to move out to California?” He asked her curiously.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah gave a small nod and smiled some "Its going to great babe, I promise." He murmured before pulling her in close to him "She's going to be a good big sister." He murmured watchimg as Eden came down with her baby doll in hand pretending to feed it.

Max gave a small smile and rubbed her belly gently "At 4 months we'll find out. I'm not sure about California....I quite like it hear. Plus its near your specialists if we ever need anything." She said softly

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and sighed a little. “Baby you wanna go to the park? Then we gotta stop at the grocery store okay?” She told her, reaching for her to come over.

He nodded. “There’s more out there… and it’s closer to friends that have kids… i just think…. That it’s some…. Something to … to… it’s….” He trailed off as he started finding it harder to breathe, frowning at her a little.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eden smiled happily and nodded "Okay mommy!" She said excitedly before running over to take her hand "Can I bring my baby?"

Max frowned deeply and pressed the call button repeatedly "Hey, baby look at me. Take deep breaths as much as you can, come on follow me." She said as she started to try and match breaths with him.

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded "You can but it's gotta stay in the car okay? Cause we aren't losing another toy at the park." She pointed out, heading out to the car with her to get her in while she waited for Noah to be done inside, sighing when he was taking forever "Right.... we gotta go back in honey, I don't know what your Daddy is doing." She sighed, getting her unbuckled aain and took her back inside, frowning as she found Noah in the kitchen looking stressed, "Hey... You coming? What's wrong?" She asked worried until he turned to show her a photo of Eden on his shoulders from that morning "What's.... oh." She sighed seeing it was a post on the internet from some random fan. "It's alright... it's just one photo." She told him quietly, rubbing his back

He was doing his best to follow with her but it was only a few seconds later that he blacked out and started seizing, the room filling with staff as they moved her to the edge to try and get him settled again.

Vinny had been carrying Rory down the hall and seen the staff rushing into his room so carried on walking with the kid "Come on, why don't we grab a couple snacks to take to your Mom? You think she wants something sweet or salty?" He asked him, keeping him distracted as they walked past the room, catching Max's gaze for a moment.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah had been staring at the photo of him and Eden for a good ten minutes now. He'd just gone on his secret social page to look at a few things when he saw it plastered everywhere. He looked at Carmen as she came in and shook his head a bit "Why do people think its appropriate to post our child somewhere without our permission?!" He yelled out of frustration.

Max caught sight of Vinny frowning deeply. She moved out of the room when they asked her to leave and gave a heavy sigh trying to keep herself put together for when Vinny came back.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and rubbed his back "I don't know honey... it's alright... You can't change it alright? Why don't we go and I'll make a post later asking people to take them down and if they see not to share." She told him, "Come on, we promised her the park." She murmured, going to get Eden back in the car again, sighing a little. She sat on the bench, keeping a close eye on her "I know that you're really strict on her not being posted... What is it that's bothering you so much with it?" She asked him, leaning against him a little

He came out of it shortly after a little disoriented but kept trying to get up until they got Max back in and he saw her face, reaching for her and frowning. "Home... Wanna... Home." He muttered, just scared and not trusting to be away from home when they didn't seem to know what was wrong with him anyway

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah gave a heavy sigh "Creeps, thats my problem with it. What if some psycho fan gets it in their head that Eden could be theirs just like they do with me? Its weird enough that they photo shop photos of me with them, what if they were to do that with me and Eden?" He explained shaking his head "I just want her safe from that shit."

Max came in and nodded some "We'll get you home okay? I promise." She whispered before looking at the nurse who had stayed back "When can I take him home?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned a little and nodded, “if he wants to leave that badly we can let him go home now. We can’t exactly force him to stay here.” She explained, going to get his discharge papers.

She nodded and sighed a little, kissing his cheek. “She’s gonna be just fine. She’s got a great dad watching out for her.” She smiled at him, going over when Eden was calling to be pushed on the swing. “I’m coming I’m coming.” She smiked, helping her out.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod and thanked her before turning her attention to Ricky "They uh....they think it may be psycological, stressing so much." She told him gently as she took his hand in hers "But we're going to figure it out okay? I promise."

Noah gave a small smile and nodded before she left. He watched them happily just happy to see the two of them in a better space than before.
