[Dark_Psycho]

Bormir James and Mac left.Effie turned her head slowly. She focused on her sister. It took a minute to adjust to actually looking at her sister. Effie frowned slightly and bit her bottom lip.She finally spoke. "Hey."She said and swallowed hard trying to keep back the tears that were screaming to escape her eye's.

Justice got tears in her own eyes by just looking at Effie. She leaned towards her sister and gave Effie a tight hug. She wanted Effie to know that she was there for her as a sister. Justice just wanted Effie to give her even just a bit of her pain, Justice wanted Effie to know that she wasn't alone in this and that everything would turn out fine.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie clung to her sister in tears. She held tightly and just clung to her. She bit her bottom lip."its my fault, and am going to loose him aren't I?"Effie asks in tears. She didn't know what to do. Effie clung to her sister in tears."I can't loose him.Effie says

[KneelingAngel]

"Stop it." Justice said and pulled back, softly shaking her sister by the shoulders. "You are not going to loos Clay, do you hear me?! We are not join going to loose another band member. "Clay is a strong guy, if the doctors say he will make it with some rest, he will make it with some rest. When he's calmed down enough and strong enough, then we are going to fly him back to England. He will not die!" She snapped at her sister. "Now pull yourself together." She told Effie. "You also have a daughter you need to take care of. Adelaide needs her mother too, I know that you're hurting right now, but your emotions are exhausting your baby… Everything will be fine, Effie." Justice said softly and wiped her sister's tears. "Clay will pull through and you'll be able to see him tomorrow evening, okay?" She asked with a soft smile.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie nods and wiped her eye's. She stepped back and sighed. "Let me get Adelaide to bed."She says. She kissed her daughter's head then hugged her sister. Effie but her daughter to bed and sat on the bed. She refused company of the other's. She just sat waiting to hear about her love. She finally fell asleep wrapped around her daughter. Ahe clutched her phone. James sighed and sat. He stared at the floor. "I feel bad fir her I don't know what I do with out you."he said and pulled Justice close.

Justice broke down when James held her close. She slapped a hand over her mouth and started sobbing softly, it was her fault that this had happened. She hadn't expected for this too happen and it had only been a short distance between the concert and the bus. She should have known better. What would she have done if it had been James who had gotten shot? Was it that hard to just have a normal year once in a while?

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James just held her tightly. "It's going to be okay. This isn't your fault baby doll. " he sighed and just held her. Bormir was drinking.


.....


The next day Effie woke to Adelaide fussing. She fed and changed her and waited impatiently for a call to see her husband. She was playing with Adelaide and sighed.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice woke up in the bed, feeling tired and exhausted. James must have brought her hear after falling asleep next to him during her breakdown. Justice wiggled herself closer into James and sighed as she kissed his chest, she didn't even want to think of losing him. EVER!


Clay's eyes basically flew open and bolted up right as the memory of the shot returned to him. His heart started racing, some thing started bleeping and his chest hurt like hell. A nurse came running into the room and immediately started to call for back up as Clay pulled the tube from his throat. Four men had to pin him to the bed as he struggled, screaming for his wife. The doctor could see it all, the only way that Clay was going to calm down was with Effie, so the doctor called her and told Effie to get to the hospital.

James pulled her close in his sleep. He had stayed up late and was talking to mac and Bormir. He rolled over curling around her when he heard a knock. Effie had gotten a call to go see Clay. She swallowed hard."will you look after Adelaide for a bit please I don't want her to see Clay like this."She said. James nodded tiredly. "Sure, eff he mumbles and curled into Justice.


Effie thanked them and went to get dressed. This was the call she had been waiting for.She made a b line for the hospital. "Mrs. Danvers to see Mr.Danvers."the nurse called up the doctor and lead her to Clays room. Effie breathed and went in.she saw clay struggling against 4 guys.She cleared her throat. "Let him go, Love I am here. I am here."She said and walked over to his side. She started to cry with joy.She bent down and locked her lips on her husband's. She was careful with him, but her lips wouldn't leave his.

Clay's eyes snapped wide open when he heard Effie's voice and the moment her lips crashed on his, he felt like he was in heaven, but the adrenaline stopped working and a sudden pain coursed through his body and chest. He collapsed in bed, trying to keep breathing. One of the male nurses gave him some sort of calming and painkilling medicine, which made him almost go as limp as a noodle. "If anything happens, you have to call us." The male nurse said and left with the other three, leaving Effie and Clay alone.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie nodded and smiles down at clay she kissed him gently and sighed wiping her eye's. "You scared me love."She said and took his hand kissing it gently. She ran a hand through his hair and sobbed happy tears.She shook her head and layed it on his forehead. "Don't leave me please love I need you. "She said

[KneelingAngel]

Clay looked at Effie, confusion and a bit of pain clear on his face. "What happened?" He asked with a raspy voice. Last thing he could remember was collapsing to the ground and a pain in his chest, but why did he feel like they had cut him open and stitched him back up. "How bad was it?" Clay could guess that it had been really bad, but he wanted and needed to know what had happened.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie birthday her lip."babe you were shot, by some crazed fan. Almost died on me. You got a new heart."Effie said. She kissed his forehead.She was in tears."but your okay now."She says.

[KneelingAngel]

Oh, so that was what happened… Wait what? Clay's mind swirled around. "Did you just say they gave me a new heart?!" He looked down at his chest that was still bandaged up. No wonder he was hurting and having a hard time breathing. Clay just kept staring at his chest, he didn't really know how to respond. He had someone else heart inside of him… He wanted his heart back! Everything he had gone through was in there and now that he thought about it, this heart felt emptier then his heart. It was weird.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie nodded to him and sighed. "I am sorry I couldn't loose you and your heart was failing."Effie said. Effie watched him. She bites her lip.this was still her clay.She held his hand gently.

[KneelingAngel]

Clay slapped a hand over his mouth, tears appearing in his eyes for the first time in years. He had really almost died! clay bit his lip and shook his head. "I'm so sorry, darlin." He mumbled and kissed her hand. He didn't even want to know in how much pain he had put Effie in. "Where's Adelaide?" He asked. He had just almost died, leaving his wife without a husband, but worse of all, he could have left Adelaide without a father. That was the worst of all.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie shook her head."I am so sorry love."Effie was on tears."Adelaide is in bus with James and Justice. I didn't want her to see you like this."She says she curled up next to him careful not to hurt him. "Your going to be okay love. "She said gently.


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

"Please." Clay begged and pulled Effie closer. "I just want to see her, I almost… I almost died." He said, tears spilling from his eyes. "I just want to see her, or just hearing her voice over the phone… You two almost lost me, Effie, I promised that I would always be there for her, for you, and I broke it. I…" He rubbed his eyes, breathing in shakingly. "Please." He said again. He had never felt this weak before..

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie nods and calls James."hey put Adelaide on the phone. "She said. James groaned hearing his phone. He answered. "What?"he sighed. "Yeah okay." He walked and picked Adelaide up.Effie held Clays hand. She held the phone and said "Adelaide its mommy. Want to talk to daddy." Adelaide started to cry.Effie held the phone up to Clays ear.Adelaide was crying"Dada"

[KneelingAngel]

Clay's eyes teared up more by the sound of his baby crying out for him. He carefully sat up with a slight groan and took the phone from Effie, weakly pressing it to his ear. "Hey baby girl." He said on the phone with a lump in his throat. He had to keep himself together, but it was just so hard. "You be a good girl, okay? Don't give the others a hard time… Daddy will see you soon, alright?" He bit his lip to keep his emotions in. He never really was one too show too much emotion, but sometimes you saw what life was worth with all it's treasures. Clay handed the phone back to Effie and he lay back in bed, rubbing the tears from his face. "God, I feel so weak." He whispered, hating himself for the state he was in.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie said thanks to James and hung up.Effie kissed him"Relax baby please. I know you don't like this any more then I do.I want you to rest your going to be okay.I love you. "She said and burried her head into his neck. She curled up to him, she hummed slightly and ran a hand a long his chest. She was gentle and careful not to touch his wound. Effie ran a hand through his hair and kissed him gently."your okay my baby. Shhh relax honey."She said

[KneelingAngel]

"I can't!" Clay said, looking at Effie with teary eyes. "Look at me, I got shot! I could've… I could've died! Don't tell me to calm down when I almost lost my life!" he cried, tears rolling down his face. "I can't… I don't know… I…" He pulled her closer and buried his face in her hair, sobbing softly. He was scared. He wanted to see his baby girl. He wanted to go home.


A nurse walked and turned to Effie. "I'm sorry, Miss, but your husband needs his rest, doctor's orders. You're allowed to visit him again in a couple of hours if you would want to." She said with a soft smile and left the room again.


Clay just held Effie close to his side, his face still buried in her hair. "Please don't go…" He whispered. "Don't leave me…" He could feel himself getting tired, but he didn't want to go to sleep. What if his new heart gave in and he didn't even see his daughter yet? He DID NOT want to sleep.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie sighed and held him. She kissed his cheek "sleep, babe I will be right here."She said. She looked at the Nurse."please I can't leave him, dont make me go. Please, this is my husband. I will make sure he sleeps."Effie begged her. She clung to Clay and watched the Nurse leave.she ran her hands through his hair."shhh it's okay love rest I will have them bring Adelaide in for when you wake up."Effie said.Effie kissed his cheek and massaged his head gently.She sighed and looked at him."Love your fine now."She said


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

Clay only hummed in response as Effie massaged his head and closed his eyes, falling asleep.


Justice opened an eye tiredly. Adelaide stopped screaming, but as soon as James removed the phone from her tiny ear she started screaming again, which made Maxi scream as well. "I'm going to kill Clay when he get's out of the hospital." She grumbled tiredly and got out of bed to calm the screaming babies.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James sighed and just rocked Adelaide. He sighed. "Now now calm down Justice or Effie will kill you. "He joked and got Adelaide to quite down finally. "My goodness, you have some pipes on you baby girl. He looked at his phone and saw effies text. He texted back saying yes.


Effie just layed next to him humming and massaging his scalp.She had his head in her lap, Effie closed her eye's and sighed she had texted James about Adelaide. Effie got his reply and sighed relaxing. Her husband was going to be okay.Effie fell asleep with him next to her.
