[KneelingAngel and Gilmore ] A Long Road Home

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie laughs and nods hugging her sister. "Agreed, see you later hun." She closed the door after her sister. She turned and walked up to check on Adelaide. She smiled her daughter was fast asleep in her crib sucking on a pacifier. Effie walked to there room and set the bags down.She saw Clay laying down. She walked over and gently ran her nails along his arm."hey love."She said and kissed his cheek.Effie waited for Clay to come around.


Bormir was awake in the living room watching tv. James was asleep with maxi in there bed. Both were clean and in pajamas. The house was cleaned up and James was on his back. Maxi layed on his chest with James arms wrapped around his son.Maxi had a pacifier in his mouth instead of his fist.

Justice ended up running home. There were these sounds in the bushes and it was like she saw Annabelle EVERYWHERE! She crashed through the front door and slammed it shut, trying to catch her breath before looking out the nearest window. There were sounds in the living room and she cautiously tip toed to the opening. "Garh!" She gasped and grabbed her heart. "Jesus Christ Bormir. What the hell are you still doing up?" She questioned.


Clay opened his eyes and rolled on his back. "Oh hey, darlin." He groaned tiredly and pushed himself up, rubbing his face. "No tears I see, so I'm guessing that it went well… Wait? Did you color your hair?" Clay questioned with a tired and confused frown. "What time is it?" He had to blink his eyes a couple of times. It was so hard to wake up sometimes.

Bormir looked up and threw popcorn at her."hey you okay there. And what not like I have to be any where tomorrow. You look pale as shit. You okay?"he asks. He gave her small smirk."look like you saw a ghost or maybe a evil doll."He says and smirks. He was just teasing her.


Effie smiles."hey love, nope no tears. We worked it out and had fun for once. Yeah just did black on the bottom. Why dont like it?"She asks with a small frown.She just wanted to do something different. And she was still blonde just with black under neath and straight hair."Time I think about 11 at night. "She says. She sat next to him and leaned into him.

"Screw you." Justice said and looked around a bit, just to make sure that there were no dolls around. "You guys need to prepare for the tour, so don't make it too late, alright?" She grabbed some of his popcorn and walked up the stairs to her room. She opened the door and smiled at what she saw. James and Maxi were so cute. She turned on the nightlight on the nightstand and took a picture of them with her phone. She softly stepped out of her clothes and into her pajama's before crawling in bed next to them. She snuggled closer into James's side and closed her eyes. It was so nice to be back beside him.


"No, I like it." Clay smiled and kissed her cheek, pulling her down with him, into the pillows. "I'm just glad that you two made up again. I missed that smile on your face." He mumbled and buried his face in her hair, slowly closing him eyes again and yawning. "This bed feels so much better with you in it." He held her closer and fell asleep.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Bormir rolled his eye's. "Thats your husband's job. So no thanks."He says. He watched her look for dolls."dude I was kidding. Okay I am going to be now no need to take some of my snack"He said. Bormir shook his head as she went upstairs. He followed shortly after her cleaning up. James's felt her get into bed. He looked over."hey pumpkin your back. Doing okay?"he asked. "Like the hair."He mumbles tiredly and wrapped a protective arm around her.


Effie smiles at her husband. "Yeah, and glad you like it. Yeah smile is back my darling."Effie agreed to his last statement and fell asleep in his arms.


......


The month passed almost painfully slow for the band. They wanted to get on tour it had been a while. And I mean a long while. Effie had packed enough for her, Clay, and Adelaide.


Today was the day the tour kicked off. They got on the bus, Effie and clay got one bedroom with Adelaide. James's and Justice got the other with Maxi. Bormir got the comfy couch in the back. The one up front was to hang. Effie got there room set up as the band loaded up the equipment. She had stocked the fridge with baby food and cabinets with all they would need.She had scolded the guys."I swear to god you get high and eat the baby food I will kill you."She says.

"No one is touching the baby food and no getting high, no drinking on this bus if the kids are on. We are 8 different bands on this tour, go have fun with them unless I have the kids with me." Justice said. She wanted to make this tour also safe for the kids without ruining the fun of being a band. "This tour is about the band, so I'll be having the kids a lot. Just hang like you did when I was here a month ago. Bormir." She said and turned to the guy. "This is a six month tour. A different country every week and a show five out of seven days. It's going to be hard, so please don't do anything stupid. Alright." Justice clapped her hands. "Any questions about the Alive tour so far?"

Effie sighed and laughed. "Trust me Adelaide isn't leaving my sight much. Mommy will keep her safe."Effie said to Adelaide as she sat in her lap making gurgling noises at Maxi. She laughed as they communicated in baby talk. Effie watched them. Adelaide squealed and laughed kicking about.


James and Bormir shook there heads"nope can we go."Bormir asked.James laughed as he held his son."chill dude will be going soon.Love chill will be fine and come on sit, we been on tour before trust me."he says. Effie leaned into Clay for comfort. She was excited to go on tour m

"I can't sit down because I'm stressing." She said and started dancing in her feet. "I just got to do one last check up, okay?" She jumped out of the bus and goes do her thing.


Clay watched in silence. He was so happy to be back on tour. This was what he wanted. He grinned and kissed Effie's cheek. This was the life.

James nods."okay baby. Thats no problem. Just relax after that. Why you stressing everything is okay, babe. What can I help with?"he asks. He hated when his wife stressed. James held maxi and he made a groaning noises as his dad stood. He started to cry, he wanted to talk to Adelaide. He screamed and cryed louder as James bounced his son.


Effie turned to him and sighed. " I am going to the room. I am putting this one down after she eats. Adelaide was crying as well."Effie kissed clay. She put fed Adelaide and layed with her till she slept. However Effie fell asleep with her and was wrapped around her daughter.

Justice came back after half an hour and dumped herself on the couch with a sigh. How hard was it to keep eight bands under control? Really hard, and why was every manager so easy going? No wonder everything always went wrong. She opened the fridge and grabbed a Monster can. It was good to be back in the states, that's where the tour started after all.


Clay walked to their room after a couple of minutes when Effie hadn't returned. He saw her asleep and smiled softly, tucking her in under the sheets and kissing her and Adelaide's head.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James smiles. "Hey chill baby."He says and kisses her cheek."want a message baby?"He asks her.He wasn't ready to go back to the states, but he knew she was. Bormir sat on his couch in the back and listened to music. He was very excited.


Effie moved."hmm hey baby."She says Tiredly. She moved and looked up at her husband."She looked around. Why did she fall asleep so quickly. She shrugged and sat up."ahh fuck."She says she had a headache. She sighed and leaned against the wall.

"Do you know how hard it is to keep more then forty grown men in the right bus?" Justice sighed and leaned over James's lap, closing her eyes. "I just need some good rest." She sighed and kissed his abs through his shirt.


Clay got Effie a glad of water and kissed her head. "Want me to get you some medicine?" He asked as he combed through her golden hair.

Effie shrugs."sure love.stupid Migraines are back."She says. She rubbed her temples. She use to have bad migraines. They went away and now they were back she hated them. She would have to find out after the tour what was wrong. Effie waited for clay to get back. Once he was back she took the medicine and pulled him to her."I love you babe. I am glad we are on tour together as a family."She says


James smiles down at her. He picked her up and toom her to there room. Maxi was asleep. He closed and locked the door. He kissed her and pulled her shirt off "let me give you a back massage. Just relax please love."He says. He lays her down and use lotion to gently rub her back.He rubbed his wife's back till he felt all the tension leave her. He kissed her neck and sighed. "I love you babe."

[KneelingAngel]

Clay smiled and combs a hand through Effie's hair. "Me too, but rest, alright? I don't want you sick already." He lay down next to her and looked at her and their daughter. "She's getting big." Clay smiled, looking down at Adelaide. "And getting beautiful, just like her mother." He leaned towards Effie and kissed her lips. "I love you."


Justice enjoyed the attention she was getting, James was really good at massages. She was almost asleep when he kissed her neck and sighed. Justice frowned a little and turned her head, looking at him a little concerned. "Are you alright?" She asked, Justice turned around, not caring to cover herself up and looked at him. "There's something on your mind, isn't there? I'm sorry if I make you worry when I stress out, there's just so much to do."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

She pressed her lips on Clays harder. She pulled him close.Effie pulled away. " I will be okay my love.I love you so much."She says. She smiled over at Adelaide. "I know my baby is growing up."She says. She snuggled into Clay.


He smiled and pulled her in. James smiles and kisses her cheek. " I am okay just odd with out Luke. You stressing out stresses me out but I can handle it." James says and winks.

Clay pulled his girls closer and held them tightly. "Just rest." He whispered and kissed Effie's head.


Justice smiled sadly and hugged James around his waist. "I can fix something if you're not ready yet. If none of you are ready for this then just say so and we can go back home. I'm sure everyone will understand, it's only been four months." She sighed and kissed his cheek.

Effie smiles at him and moves so there was no room between them. She closed her eye's and fell asleep. She started having a nightmare again. She whimpered and twitched in her sleep. Effie woke after a bit and slapped Clays hand away."No don't. "She said.She stopped seeing him. She turned and cryed into her husband.


James shook his head."no I need this . We need this." James says. He pulled her close and sighs, he kissed her and breathed her scent in.James just hugged her close. He was on the verge of tears. He hid his face into her neck, he sighed and sniffed. He just needed to hold his wife.

Clay woke up as Effie tossed and turned in his arms. He sat up and was about to shake her awake when she suddenly slapped his hand away. He saw her tears as she started to cry and held her close as she sobbed. "It's alright darlin'." He said and softly rocked her, shushing her and combing through her hair as he held her close. "I'm right here, love, nothing and no one will get you."


Justice didn't say anything, but just held James close. This was hard, for all of them. They had lost a brother and best friend, its hard to move on and four months is short. Justice got tears in her own eyes, she hated seeing James hurt. She pulled him back a little and cupped his face, wiping away his tears with her thumb and kissed his lips. "You don't have to be so strong all the time, James." She mumbled softly. "It's okay to let everything out, that's why were here." She whispered with a sad smile. She wanted him to be okay, she would give him as long as he needed.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie stopped "oh my god I am sorry live didn't mean to hit you."She cryed.Effie clung to him." I am so sorry babe."She says. Effie felt bad, she bit her bottom lip. She hid into his chest.


James sighed kissing her as she wiped his tears." I am man woman."He jokes."yeah I know, just hard to let it slip.He pulled her close again and kisses her head sighs."how are you is the question. I will be fine." He says

[KneelingAngel]

"It's okay." Clay said. "Didn't feel a thing." He said, trying to make it less bad, he knew how guilty she felt. "Do you want to talk about it? Do you maybe want me to get Justice?" He asked worriedly, he really hoped she was okay.


"I'm fine, it still feels a bit weird without horny Luke and lusty Char, but I'm okay. I didn't spend as much time with him as you did. I'm just worried about you, that's all." She nuzzled her head in his neck and sighed happily. She saw Maxi wake and yawn, stretching his tiny body as he sucked on his pacifier, looking at his parents cuddling. "How did you get him to stop chewing his fist?" Justice questioned.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie clung to him and shook her head."no please don't leave me."Effie said. She was scared. She bit her bottom lip, "it was about you.you got shot on tour by some crazed fan and didn't make it."She says she clung to him."please don't go anywhere. "She says


James looked over."oh Effie did it not me."He says. He shrugged. "She is good and I am okay, well I will be."He said and smiled at her.He kissed her head."our son is darling."


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

Clay sighed and hugged Effie close. "It's going to be okay." He said and rubbed her back. "Not even a bullet can take me away from you. I won't leave you." He smiled and kissed her head.


Justice smiled and kissed James's cheek before picking Maxi up. "You hear that Maxi?" She asked the baby. "Daddy finds you darling, but you're just a little rascal aren't you, and you're getting so big too." Maxi smiled and his mommy and hugged her face.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie sighed and hugged him.Effie sighed, " you married a crazy person."She sniffs and wipes her eye's. Effie looked up at him."I can't live with out you." Effie says and smiles.


James laughs and sighed. He sat up. He walked over to the door."want something to drink?"He asks.he saw maxi pop out his pacifier and says Mama and Dada.

[KneelingAngel]

Clay smiled back and wiped Effie's tears. "You're my world, Effie, that's why I married you. Nothing can take me from you and I'm not going anywhere, because you are all I need." He smiled and kisses her lips.


Justice smiled at her baby boy and kissed his head before turning to James as he walked out. "Maybe some coffee?" She asked, not really knowing what she wanted. "Just give me what you're having."


She smiled and tried to hand Maxi his pacifier back, but the baby refused, sucking on his three last fingers instead.

Effie melted as touch and kissed him. She was being emotional, from being tired and getting barely any sleep lately. She had a feeling something would bad. So she had been staying up and worrying as she watched over clay and Adelaide sleep. She sighed holding on to her husband. She clung to him like there was no tomorrow. ( thinking Clay gets shot on tour by some crazed fan. Doesn't die obviously. Thoughts?)


James got her Tea and himself tea. It was odd being sober on a tour. He sighed sitting with his wife and son.


...


Later that evening. The band is sitting on the couch they were practicing. Effie and James were messing around with vocals. Effie laughed as the sung a song together. They were in harmony, but it was a fuck around song. They didn't rhink it be any good. When finished Effie nods."not bad think we should add it?"She asks him.James shrugs "why not. Definitely something different for the band."He says. Effie noda and writes it down on the paper.
