[KneelingAngel and Gilmore ] A Long Road Home

[KneelingAngel]

When Clay woke up again, his body was awake, but his mind was still so tired. He didn't know what time it was, the heart monitor was driving him halfly insane… The only thing that was nice was Effie curled up against him. He smiled softly and nuzzled her hair with his nose. He didn't think he could love her more, now after what happened. He never wanted to let her go.

Effie woke slowly to his movement's. She smiled," you need to rest love."She mumbles into him.Effie sighed grabbing her phone. She texted James to bring Adelaide. James kissed Justice" I will be right back. "He brought Adelaide to Effie. He smiled. " hey man glad your okay, you look great.well I'll see you later okay."James saya to Clay and walked out. He walked to the bus and went to sit down with a sigh.Effie held Adelaide and sighed."see here is daddy. "Effie says.

"I don't want to rest." Clay mumbled sleepishly. "I'm not tired." He whined into her hair, but then she send a text and James came walking in with Adelaide. He scoffed, the best he could without hurting himself, at James. "I've been better, but thanks." He smiled weakly and beamed as Adelaid smiled at him. He teared up as James left and put his hand on Adelaide's head. "Hey baby girl." He smiled. He wanted to hold her, but doubted if Effie would let him, he was barely strong enough to raise his arm, but he didn't care.


Justice watched James go and come back. "That was quickly." She said. "I thought you would have stayed for at least a couple of minutes… How did he look?" She asked, biting her lip as she fed Maxi his food.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James shook his head."couldn't didn't want to get Effie kicked out he is only allowed one visitor. And he looked I don't not great."James said. He put his head in his hands. James wasn't doing well with this.


Effie walked over with Adelaide and sat next to him with her. She wasn't going to let him hold Adelaide cause she didn't want to hurt him, but she let Adelaide lay on her stomach next to him. Adelaide curled into her father's side. Effie sighed and sat next to the bed letting Adelaide cling to her father.

Justice put Maxi on the floor and sat down next to James, rubbing his back soothingly. She could tell that this had scared him, and she didn't blame him. "Everything's going to be okay." She promised. "We always manage to get ourselves back to the top… They'll probably want to keep Clay here with his heart, so we'll be stuck in America for a while before we can go home… I know you don't really like being here." She said and kissed his cheek softly.


Clay smiled and combed his hand through Adelaide's hair. He loved her tiny body clinging to his. He wished that he could hold her, but he knew he wasn't strong for that yet. Clay loved carrying his daughter and everybody knew it, so it was slightly heartbreaking that she couldn't even lay on his chest. "Thank you." He said and looked at Effie. He knew that she didn't want Adelaide with him, but he just wanted to be with his family.

James sighed and sniffed and wiped his nose.James tryed not to cry." This is so screwed up, I am glad he is okay.I just I dk."He said and bit his thumb."yeah America kinda sucks no offense love."James leaned into her and sighed. "I feel bad for Effie."He said and sighed.


Effie looked at her husband and watched her daughter. It wasn't that she didn't want him seeing his daughter, she just wanted to keep him from hurting or being hurt by Adelaide. Effie nods to her husband. "Of course love."Effie said and bit her bottom lip. Adelaide just layed next to Clay.

Justice smiled softly and hugged James close. "We'll go back home soon. I promise." She kissed his head and smiled into his hair. "America does suck maybe a bit." She joked. Maxi came crawling up to them and pushed himself off the ground, with help from the couch. He smiled at his parents on wobbly feet and wanted to be picked up by his daddy.


Clay looked at Effie from the corner of his eye and sighed. She was quiet, more quiet then he would like her to be. He didn't know if it was something he did or if it had more to do with what happened. "How are the others?" He asked, trying to get her talking again. He loved Effie's voice and loved it when she talk. He would never get tired of it.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

(Why are you awake )


James nods and sighed. He wiped his eye's. He looked at his son and picked him up leaning into the couch. He smiled," my little man."He said and did an airplane."here we are your flying. Oh who is a good boy." James said and pulled his son in.James kissed his cheek. "Good boy."


Effie looked up."hmm? Oh I don't know shaken I guess."Effie said.She gave a forced smile. She wasn't mad at him, she was just worried and hated the fact he was in pain.

(Because I can =^^= Just watched 10 episodes of Love Stage, so I finished that… Last post and then I'll check my tumblr before going to bed ^^)


Justice smiled at James and Maxi. She leaned into James's side as he kissed their son's cheek. She was really tired. Maybe it was a good thing that they stopped the tour. She was exhausted from taking care of every little thing and Clay getting shocked wasn't really her most favorite dream. Justice closed her eyes and fell asleep again, a few minutes wouldn't hurt, would it?


Clay just nodded and turned to Adelaide when he noticed the bit of a forced smile on his wife's face. He was alive now, right? Nothing could go wrong anymore as long as he stayed in the hospital, so he didn't quite understand why she was so tensed up. She should be happy… Clay sighed and just grabbed her hand, lacing their fingers. He didn't know what to say that would make her forget all of this. He just wanted her to know that he was there again.

( Okay miss )


James held Maxi and wrapped one arm around Justice. He kissed her head and closed his eye's with a sigh.He finally opened them and looked at his family. He smiled, he was glad They were safe. He mived gently and covered justice up. He played with Maxi till he git tired. He fed changed and layed maxi down."good boy sleep well."He said. He walked out and picked his wife up and layed her in there bed. He kissed her and went to the couch. He turned on the tv, and flipped through the channels. He cried himself to sleep on thw couch. He hated crying infront of Justice.


Effie had been staring at the wall behind him. She jumped at his hand and looked down at him. She placed her head on the bed next to him. She sighed and moved to kiss his hand.

Effie had barely eaten a thing the whole month Clay had been in the hospital. She wouldn't leave his side, the band had come in to see him.James would bring Adelaide back and fourth. The doctors finally released Clay to go, back to England. He wasn't allowed to lift more then five lbs for the next couple of months. He was only allowed to hold Adelaide sitting down. Effie fussed over him as the doctors helped clay get into a wheelchair. "Nothing strenuous for a while no band or fights, just relaxing and being pampered by your wife."the doctor says. "Your free to go home." He said. He left and Effie turned kissing him."ready my love."She asked

Clay wasn't liking his condition at all! He loved that his wife was around him, but he wanted to at least carry his daughter and walk around. He sighed and leaned back in the wheelchair that he hated so much. He nodded his head when Effie asked him if he wanted to go home. He was done with the states, he had missed his house, but he still felt a bit sad that he couldn't do scrap. He didn't really like relaxing, he had done that for long enough.

Effie took him to the door. She wheeled Clay out and helped him up."Babe? "She said stopping before the bus."are we okay?"She asks him. She kissed his cheek gently. She didn't want him mad or pissed.


James looked up." Oh here comes. Clay and Effie. Finally get to go home."He said and watched maxi and Adelaide play.

[KneelingAngel]

Clay sighed. "Yeah, we're okay." He said. It was partly the truth... THEY were okay, but HE wasn't. "I just really want to go home." He said as he rubbed his face, waiting for Effie to get him into the bus. He hated waiting, which is why he hated not being able to do anything himself.


Justice looked out the window before turning back to James. "I have a feeling that the faster we leave the better, Clay doesn't look very happy." She mumbled softly.

Effie pursed her lips.She helped Clay up into the bus, she knew he was lieing to her.Effie got him to the couch and sat him down. She was in a funk especially she hadn't eaten much. Effie say down a bit away from him. She picked up Adelaide and sat her next to Clay."Let's go I dont want to be here anymore."Effie said.


James looked at the look on Effies face."yeah let's go. "Hey man."He said to Clay and offered him a smile.

[KneelingAngel]

Clay bit his lip on the inside and nodded his head once. Even though Effie placed Adelaide besides him, he knew that Effie was pissed off. She had stuck to him like glue and now all of the sudden she wanted to sit away from him. It wasn't his fault that he got shot! He didn't want to be like this, weak and unable to do anything. Wasn't he allowed to be even just a bit angry at it all? "Hey." He said to James. "Bus still standing I see." He joked, trying to break the negative tension he felt inside of him.


Justice walked up to the bus driver and sat there as Frank started to drive. She didn't want to be near the others. She had a feeling that everything was going to go wrong pretty soon.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James nods."Yeah, see your alive.Glad you are alive and well."James said."so you relax just let me know if you need anything. Let me know. "James says" I got to get this one to bed."He nods to maxi. He picked up his son and nods to Justice to follow him. He closed the door once they were in the room."holy shit that was tense. "he said.He held Maxi close.


Effie bit her bottom lip and sighed as the bus started to move. She pulled her knees up and rested her head on them. Effie breathed in a sigh of relief. Why did this happen to them.

[KneelingAngel]

Clay watched James pick up his son and disappearing into his room with Justice. His chest hurt. How long would it be before he could do that to Adelaide again? When she was five and too big to carry? He hated it. But now that James, Justice and Maxi were gone, Bormir in the back on his couch playing a video game or whatever, the air in the bus didn't get any better. He looked down at Adelaide and petted her head, because that was the only thing he could do. She reached her tiny arms up to him, but he couldn't even pick her up, so he just kissed her head and looked out the window.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie felt the air thick and heavy. Effie sighed and ran a hand through her hair. She got up and went to grab Tea. She made, him one and brought him a cup and gave a small smile. "Here your favorite."Effie said and hands it to him gently. Effie looked at him."you need to talk me love."Effie said and say back on the counter. The air still tense. She worried her bottom lip.

[KneelingAngel]

Clay's eyes teared up the moment Effie handed him his tea, but he didn't want it. He gritted his teeth as he put it on the table. Talk. She wanted him to walk? About what? There was nothing he had to say to her. Her answer was right in front of her. "I don't want to talk." Clay said. He would have walked away, but he wasn't strong enough to do that yet either. "Isn't it obvious?" He asked a bit harsh. "I want to go home. I want to pick up my daughter. I want to make love to you. I want to play the drums. Go on tour. But no, I'm not allowed to do anything. I can't walk, I can barely hold a cup of tea. Is that what you want to hear? That I feel useless and weak?" He huffed and looked out the window again. He did not want to do this, not here.
