[KneelingAngel and Gilmore ] A Long Road Home

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie watched him and cringed at his tone."I have done nothing, but be there for you and yeah it sucks, but you get to be pampered and feeling weak is part of being human.we all feel weak at times. You got shot for fuck sake I thought I was going to loose you. I mean what do you want me to do I am only one person and I am stretched thin as possible at the moment. I am doing everything in my power to keep your thick skull alive and well because I love and need you. It's only for a few months and you dont think James, Justice, Bormir, or I dont want to go home. No we very much want to be home as well." Effie said and matched his tone."you know what do what you want I am not your mother."She said. She grabbed her cup and walked for there room. She sighed and sunk to the floor as she closed the door.She breathed gently.

"Fine." He said and picked up Adelaide, holding her close to him as he stood up on unsteady legs. He was going to walk, carry as much weight as he wanted and do whatever he wanted. Effie wasn't his mother, he knew that, he understood that she was worried about him and wanted to pamper him. But that was not what he wanted. He wanted her to help him get stronger, not treat him like glass. He survived, didn't he?! What was wrong with trying to get stronger as soon as possible?! Clay growled and managed to get some baby food from a cabin, but his legs gave in and he landed on his ass. He stayed there and fed Adelaide, he was going to prove that he was strong enough, his new heart would have to adapt to him, not the other way around!


Justice sighed at the fight/argument that was going on on the other side of the door. She bit her lip and hung her head. Both of them needed to give each other space, and if this tension wasn't over the moment they reached to the mansion, she was going to ground them both! They were both acting like a bunch of teens.

Effie locked herself in the room for the rest of the trip.Effie had fallen asleep on the bed curled up under the covers.Effie had stopped eating due to the fact she was mad. She left Adelaide with Clay, and the band.


James had helped Clay a bit, but let him do his own thing.He looked at Justice with a go talk to her look."you need to talk to your sister and don't yell. See if you could get her to eat. I will talk to Clay."He says.


He sighed and went over to Clay."Hey dude can we talk? It's cool if you don't want to, but dude come on your being silly with this whole Effie thing.

[KneelingAngel]

"Of course." Justice said and kissed James before walking over to Effie's room and knocking on the door. "Effie, it's me. I understand if you don't want to talk to anyone, but will you please come and eat something?" She asked sweetly. "You don't even have to eat with us, I could bring you some food if you want, but you have to eat something."


Clay glared at James. "It's not an Effie thing." He growled, feeding Adelaide another mouth full. He had gotten a bit stronger during the trip, but his chest pains had grown a bit too. He knew it was his own fault, but he would ignore the heart pains and go to the doctor when they get home.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie groaned and got up. She unlocked the door and looked at her sister with a sigh. she pinched her nose."Thanks, but I am not hungry."Effie said. She was, but didn't want to go out. She closed her eye's her head was killing her."I feel sick any way."She says.


James sighed. "No? She hasn't eaten in days and you been taking care of Adelaide like a single father and living on the couch. Your over working your self. Go talk to her before Adelaide is motherless and fatherless. Your strong dude, but you still need to rest. You just got a new heart. If you over exert yourself there goes your life and Effies, then I really will be pissed."James says

[KneelingAngel]

Justice looked at her sister with a sad smile. "Like I said you don't have to come out and you're probably feel sick because you haven't eaten anything. I can get you something light, like a croissant or just a piece of fruit like some grapes. Please, just eat something. If not for yourself then for me, please." She practically begged. Her sister looked horrible, pale and quite skinny. This whole situation was worse then she thought.


"Then get pissed." Clay snarled at James. "I'm still here, my heart will adjust to me soon enough, Adelaide is not going to loos any parents and Effie not eating is her own problem." He said. "It's not my fault that she doesn't even want to walk past me. I've had enough rest at the hospital, I'll probably have to rest again when they check me in london, so right now I'm going to do whatever I want." Clay huffed and glared at James. "I don't want to talk about this until we are back home." He said and winched at the pain in his chest. Adelaide started whimpering and Clay picked up his daughter, softly rocking her against his shoulder.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James grabbed Adelaide from him."uh uh she is your wife and I am not loosing a best friend. And she will if you dont go talk to Effie. You dont get your daughter back till you talk to her."James said and walked away with Adelaide to the room he shared with his wife and son. He quieted Adelaide and got her to lay down. Clay was being stupid.


Effie sighed "give me a minute."She says. She closed the door she changed into different sweats and a sweat shirt. She brushed her hair back. She looked in the mirror, her face had lost weight. She was pale and her hair had list shine. She unlocked the door and walked out she walked to the table slowly and sat down gently. She groaned and held her nose.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice turned to Clay when Effie closed the door to change. "If you don't mess this shit up, then we are going to have a very big problem." She threatened and walked into her room. She watched James lay Adelaide down in their bed and leaned back against the door. Effie was probably going to kill her for making Clay make her food instead of her, but if everything worked out well, she might just keep herself from another hospital ride. "God, they're like us." Justice said towards James. "Let's just hope that they can make up like we do." She added with a sad smile.


Clay watched Justice walk away. He wasn't scared of her!


But when Effie walked out of their room, he saw how skinny and pale she was. Her hair had lost the golden glint to it and her cheekbones were sticking out a bit more. He sighed when she walked right past him as if he wasn't even there, taking a seat by the table. He felt really sorry, mainly because it was his fault. He didn't know it was this bad! Clay stood up weakly and limped into the kitchen to get Effie some food. He placed the plate on the table and dropped himself in front of her on a chair. He had just reached it before his knees gave in. Clay couldn't look at her for some reason, feeling guilty to his core, and played with his fingernails.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James nods and sighs. "Well you two are almost the same person."James says. He looked at Adelaide and smiled. "Good little girl."He sighed and sat down."this is crazy we had just gotten Effie to eat normally before you came along and she is back to not eating. Clay maybe a friend, but I am very protective of your sister."James says.


Effie looked at the plate and pushed it away. She looked at her husband and bit her lip.She sighed and sunk to the floor infront of him and lifted his chin. She kissed him fully on the lips and wrapped her arms around his neck.She was super skinny and he had been shot.She sighed and leaned her forehead on his.

Justice sat down next to her husband and leaned into him. "You're a good friend, my love." She said and kissed his cheek. "Thank you for taking care of her when I couldn't."


Clay was shocked when his wife kissed him, but kissed her back as he wrapped her arms around his waist. "I'm so sorry, darlin." He said as they touched foreheads. He didn't know what else to say then sorry and I love you. What else could he say? He was a wreck, she wasn't eating… He could only cry into her shoulder.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James sighed"don't thank me I tried and I failed obviously. And a good friend wouldn't take there kid away to get them to talk."He said. He smiled at her and kissed her."I love you pumpkin."He says


Effie nods and holds him."I just love and care about you."Effie says. She sighed and held him the best she could. She shook slightly.She was feeling sick again.She closed her eye's and hid her head into his neck.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice sighed, but smiled up at James. "You did what you had to do. It may not have been the right thing to do, but it was the best thing. It's not healthy for Adelaide to be in that tension. Look at her, it exhausted her." She said and looked at the small girl in the bed. "You did what you had to do." Justice told her husband and looked him in the eye dead serious. "You're a good friend, a good husband and a good father, no matter what happens or anyone says."


Clay held Effie closer, there wants anything more he loved then having her in his arms. He kissed her lips, but suddenly felt a pain in his chest like he couldn't remember. He grabbed his shirt and tried to breath, but before he knew it, he started seeing black spots and passed out.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie screamed and held him.She looked at him"Clay? Love baby please. "She said. She shook him gently.


James smiles"thanks love."He kisses her. he heard Effie scream. He moved and ran out."Effie, oh shit Frank drive to the nearest hospital now."He says.He knelt next to Effie." Effie it's going to be okay. Hun you look like your going to feint hang in there."James said to her. Frank drove quickly to the hospital. The nurses got Clay in and wheeled him to a room.Effie couldn't breathe she did finally pass out. James caught her."Eff," he shook her."hello need a doctor over here, my sister just passed out." He says. Nurses help get Effie into a room. where James had to explain what happened to Clay and Effie. The nurses nod and shoo him. James sighed and went to sit in the lobby. He ran a hand through his hair and huffed.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice hurried after her husband when Effie screamed. Everything happened so fast, Effie passed out, they drove to the hospital and both Effie and Clay were taken in. James went with the nurses as Justice went back to get the kids and kicked Bormir, who was sleeping on his couch. "Come on." She told him and told him what she had seen as they hurried in the hospital. "James." She said when she saw him. "What's going on?" She asked as she tried to calm down both the babies.

James sighed and bit his lip."well they are injecting Effie with a sugar food formula to hopefully wake her. Clay I don't know yet."He said. He took Maxi gently and held him. Bormir walked in and sighed.He listened to James."This is not good."he said."shit here comes the doctor" he says.James bolted up right."what's going on is Clay okay? How is Effie has she come around? "He asks bombarding him with questions.

[KneelingAngel]

"Bormir, calm down." Justice told him. "Here." She said and handed him the kids before turning to the doctor. "Can we go see them?" She asked him.


"Ms. Effie is awake, we are trying to get as much food into here as is healthy enough. Her husband is a different story, he over worked himself. Because his heart is still so weak he had a minor heart attack. Did something happen that could have caused this? When did he get his new heart?"


"Just a couple of weeks ago." Justice told the doctor. "We were on our way back home."


The doctor nodded. "I suggest no more traveling for Clay, he is too weak to do so, he shouldn't even be out of the hospital in the first place. They released him too early. I will fly him to the nearest hospital near your address if you wish, this could have been serious. Effie may travel again, but I would like for her to stay here for the night... Now if you could please fill in these forms, if have other patients I need to take care as well." He handed Justice a couple of forms and left.


Justice looked at the other two band members, not knowing what to say. All she knew that she had tears in her eyes. They had been so close to losing another member, maybe even two.

James grabbed the doctors arm. He held Maxi and nods. "Can we see her?"he asked."what about Clay can we see him.what is going on. How long will he have to stay in a hospital. Its been a month and a few days. "James said.


Effie sat in her hospital bed. She still was refusing to eat so they were force feeding her through a tube. Effie had her arms crossed.

[KneelingAngel]

The doctor sighed and got his arm out of the man's grip. "Fine, you may go see Effie, but Clay will need his rest. The only person who's aloud to see him is his wife when she's fully recovered." The doctor walked away and Justice hurried to Effie's room. She sighed when she saw her sister, something was still very wrong. Effie still looked pale, maybe even a bit paler now that she had that tube in her nose. "Guys, give me a sec." Justice pleaded and closed the door behind her, leaning back against the hard surface and scanned her sister's face. "I'm guessing you don't want to talk about it."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie looked at her sister and looked away."not particularly no."She said. She avoided her sister's gaze.Effie sighed. "What exactly do you want to talk about. "Effie said.


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

Justice frowned. "I don't know, you're the one eating from a tube." She said. "I can see that something is bothering you… What happened? Are you feeling a little better now? Adelaide is really worried about you, both of you." Justice played with her finger nails for a couple of seconds, not really knowing if she should tell Effie about Clay, but her sister had a right to know. "Clay had a heart attack, that's why he collapsed." She said, biting her lip.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

"Yes it's my fault he is back here."Effie said finally and sniffed. "I did this to him. He had a heart attack because of me. He git shot because of me. If he had never met members he wouldn't be here in the first place."Effie said."He wouldn't have been shot and he wouldn't have had a heart attack. It's all my fault and I can't do anything about it.except starve myself. Only way I could think that was good enough punishment for even landing him here in the first place. "Effie said and breathed in. She was freaking out on the inside and finally let it out.

[KneelingAngel]

"Effie, calm down." Justice said and hurried to her sister's side, grabbing her hand. "This is not your fault, do you hear me?" She scolded. "There was no way that you could have known that Clay was going to get shot. I should have given you guys a bodyguard, so it's my fault that the fan got through, but Clay getting shot is no one's fault except for that crazed fan. You think you're putting yourself through punishment, but do you know what you're doing to Adelaide?" She asked, he eyes softer. "Adelaide suffers from this too, you know. The both of you are exhausting your baby…" She said and sighed, sitting down on a chair beside the bed. "What if Clay would have died, would you have done the same? You're still a mother, Effie, no matter what happens you still have to live for those still around you, especially your baby." She said with a small smile and let the other's in.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie sighed and looked at her sister. "Have you ever heard if someone Dieing because there other half did. Justice I literally can't live with out him.He is almost a perfect extension of me and I just didn't care because I was mad at myself and him."She says. She stopped talking as the other's came in.James walked over and hugged her tightly. "I thought we went over this no eating thing. You broke your promise."He said. "We will have to make a new pact it looks like. I am glad your okay, but seriously that was so stupid."James scolded her."I know I...I'm sorry."She said. He hugged her and sighed. Some one wants to see you. Adelaide shrieked drom Bormirs arms and cryed. She wanted her daddy and mommy. She saw her mother and wanted her. Bormir brought her over and Effie took her baby into her arms. She kissed Adelaide as Adelaide curled into her mother. Effie sighed and layed back holding her.
