Realistic or Modern Look What Happened To Icarus

Carmen frowned shaking a little and watching the doors he would have gone through, just running a hand through her hair. “I... oh god I don’t want to lose him.” She whimpered a little. “I know we got divorced but goddammit I still love him Travis... the kids can’t not have him.” She whimpered shaking still and waiting quietly after that, getting up and pacing for a while until she heard his name called and jumped up to go find out what was going on, frowning when they explained to her they couldn’t tell her anything but under the corcimstances she could go see him, just nodding and following the nurse through to the room they’d placed him in, sitting next to him and taking a hand in hers tightly.

He frowned some and watched her. “Max I’m so sorry really I am and I never planned on standing you up, there was.... a family emergency.” He mumbled glancing back at Lizzie staring out her window at them. “Please... if you could come over to mine I’ll make us some dinner and I’ll explain everything.” He promised her reaching out towards her before thinkjng better of it.

The nurse came in checking him over and gave a small sigh "A doctor will be in to explain his situation in just a moment, can I get you anything?" She asked quietly as she looked at Carmen

Max frowned shaking her head and stepping back from him "No you can tell me right now Richard no more beating around the bush. You tell me now or this....whatever the hell it is is over!" She said angrily at him "I'm not a young girl anymore! Im not doing this shit anymore!"

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head watching him carefully and thanked her quietly just reaching over and cupping his face with her free hand, stroking his cheek while she listened to the various machines keeping him alive and monitored, a few tears slipping through. “Don’t you dare leave your kids. Don’t you dare leave me.” She whimpered

Richard swallowed and watched her. “Lizzie called me. Nina and Jake were arguing and she said Nina was smacking my brother around.” He muttered. “She was scared. I wasn’t leaving her to deal with that alone.... so I went to pick her up last night and things took longer than expected.” He told her quietly. “Then I took her home this morning to get a few things. I was gonna come right over so we could talk but again... took longer than planned.... Nina doesn’t want her anymore. They want their own kids and I want my daughter back.... we told her everything.” He explained quietly. “That’s What has kept me the past day or so.” He told her quietly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

The doctor came in and gave a heavy sigh as he looked at Carmen "Mrs.Pascal, your husband has suffered from severe head trauma. Right now he is in a medically endused coma so he can heal quicker and with less stress on his body. He has a broken leg from the hip to the foot its shattered. It will take very intense physical therapy and still it will never be one hundred percent again. He has internal bruising but we have not seen any signs on internal bleeding which for how bad the crash was is a blessing. If he wakes, he will most likely have memory loss, the extent of it though is unknown." he explained calmly to her as he sat near her.


Max frowned now feeling like a complete dumbass for how she had acted "So....you got Lizzie, then went to get her things the next day and told her everything?" she said giving a heavy sigh as she watched him some shaking her head a bit "Thanks for making me look like the biggest dumbass there is..." she muttered before she went in and hugged him tightly "You better not be lying to me Richard Madden."

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned pulling her in close to him as tightly as he could. “You really thought that after coming back here and seeing you again and falling in love with you all over again, having you stand by me through all the hell ive been through the past few months that I would stand you up on purpose?” He murmured softly and kissed her forehead. “I love you max. More than any woman I’ve ever known.... except that my daughter will always. Always. Come first.” He told her seriously and kissed her head again holding her to him tightly.

She frowned shaking her head. “Ex husband... is he gonna make it?” She asked him “Tjats all I wanna know.” She muttered thanking him when he said he couldn’t give a definitive answer, watching him leave before calling her mom to bring the kids down so she could talk to them.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max nodded some and let a single tear fall giving him a small smile "Thought maybe I got a little too attached for you or somethin." she said softly before she kissed him gently "I love you Richard." she whispered stroking his cheek some before she busted out laughing as she heard a gagging sound come from behind them and seeing Lizzie having rolled down the window 'Yucky kisses!!'

Her mother brought them down a little later due to traffic and sighed softly "Charlie is getting everything sorted at the hotel, he said he would be here in the morning." she murmured before she stepped out of the room so she could talk with the kids privately

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned and thanked her quietly before turning to the kids both stood holding each other in the corner of the room. “Hey you two... look... I know this is really confusing and I know you’re both scared ... but daddy had a big accident while he was at work today, he got really really hurt and I wanted you both to come see him so he can feel better. He can’t wake up right now but he knows you’re here. And he loves you both so very very much.” She murmured to them letting them both get closer until they had to leave and she sent them back with her mom, sitting on the edge of the bed and gently rubbing his arms, massaging them softly to keep him from getting too stiff and to keep her mind occupied.

Richard smiled and held her close. “Oh hush you.” He chuckled. “You wanna come over for pizza?” He asked her quietly, kissing her nose. “I love you too max... very much so. She’ll go to sleep after we eat then it’s just you and me.” He murmured.

 

[Forever6A7X]

The nurse came in to look him over giving Carmen a small smile "Talk to him, they say it helps get them back." she said softly to her before she left her to it.

Max gave a small nod and kissed him gently "That sounds nice." she said softly before she went inside to get her shoes on and her purse "Lets go." she murmured before getting in the car "Hello Lizzie, how are you?" she asked

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen nodded and thanked her before turning to face him, starting to talk to him in Spanish, still massaging his arms gently and just trying to keep it together. She would be lying to herself if she said she didn’t love him anymore and as she sat with him she was beginning to see the mistake she had made in getting divorced, eventually she was crying while she spoke, her voice breaking in places until she fell asleep in the chair next to his bed, squeezing his hand tightly.

Richard smiled some as she chatted at max a little while he drove, sending her to play in the lounge while he got started on sorting dinner keeping max in his arms though. “I go in for a medical tomorrow afternoon with work. If I’m cleared for duty then I go back to work but it’s on my file that I’m now officially retired from frontline work.” He told her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled softly and nodded some "Thats good, I just hope this will help you." She said softly kissing him gently before she let him order the food "So Lizzie is living here now?" She said quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned feeling movement around her hand just a little disoriented for a moment before the noise from the machines was waking her up again some more and looked over seeing pedros eyes open and his fingers twitching some, standing up quickly and pressing the call button. “Pedge it’s alright, just stay still okay? You’re gonna be okay.” She coaxed gently and went to grab someone to help, staying out of the way.

He nodded and pulled her into his arms, kissing her head “she’s gonna start living here now... she wanted to come here a while ago but now we’ve made the decision.” He murmured tiredly “I’ll have w load of paperwork to go through to sort everything out over the next few days.” He mumbled and nuzzles his face into the side of her neck.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Pedro woke up and frowned not remembering at all what had happened. He trying to move but it was excrutiating pain and he had a tube down his throat starting to panic and freak out. He didn't notice Carmen until he heard her voice and instantly relaxed

Max nodded softly some smiling softly "Mmm well I'm here if you need any help okay?" She said softly kissing him gently "Mmm we need some fun time soon.." she said smirking a but

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen quickly brought someone back to help and stayed close to him as she could while they went over checks and talked to him, eventually watching them taking the tube out and stayed as close as she could for comfort until they were left to privacy for a while again. “Hey.... oh god Pedge you scared us so bad.... your plane went down. Drone got pulled into the engine.... I... I thought you weren’t gonna make it.” She told him quietly “The kids wanna see you when you’re ready. They were really worried.” She murmured softly.

He smiled some and kissed her neck, nipping at it gently. “Soon. Very very soon. Once she’s in bed.” He murmured quietly and kissed her softly. “Mmm I love you max.” He murmured to her and held her to him, swaying gently.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled happily at him as they swayed and gave a small nod "I love you too." She said softly glancing at Lizzie as she came running into the room playing a game with one of her dolls

Pedro frowned as he listened to her looking over at her some "What kids babe? My brother's?" He asked quietly letting his hand rest on her cheek frowning more at her expression "Carmen? Mí amor whats wrong?" He asked softly

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned watching him carefully. “Pedro what year is it?” She asked him quietly feeling the dread seep in and when he said 2010 she swallowed back tears and just shook her head. “Alright... listen papí, it’s a lot later than that... when your plane came down you suffered severe head trauma... the doctors said you would probably forget a couple bits but... Pedro 2010 is ten years ago.” She told him quietly. They’d only just gotten married then and weren’t yet trying for a kid. Pedro ten years ago would be shocked to hear they were now divorced so she could hold off on that for now.

Richard smiled some watching her. “Hey you want apple juice or orange juice for dinner?” He asked her and went over to his fridge to get the carton out for her, pouring her drink then went to get the wine out for him and max, kissing her head. “Mmm... so you’ve got soccer camp tomorrow huh?” He reminded himself looking over at his little girl as she nodded then he turned to max. “So that means... I got you... all to myself.” He mumbled quietly to her kissing her cheek and put the wine away then went to get the door when pizza arrived.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Pedro frowned some as he listened to her and shook his head some "Ten years ago?! No no we just got back from our honeymoon not too long ago! And I just got my letter for a new assignment!" He explained meaning the secret assignment. He started freaking out some as he thought about it more wondering what he had missed but it only made his head hurt worse and caused him to yell out in pain

Max smiled happily as she sat with him blushing lightly when he said they's be all alone "Soccer camp huh? That sounds like a lot of fun!" She said trying to seem less like her teacher right now

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head slowly and took his hands in hers. “Shh Shh don’t hurt yourself... you’re not going on assignments anymore, you’ve been off those for almost four years pedro... they said you would lose memories, it’s okay, it’s okay, we can help you try and get them back... just rest for now okay?” She murmured gently getting him to lay back, staying near him. “We have two beautiful kids Pedge... a daughter we called Lily, she’s just turned nine, she’s deaf but she’s a firecracker... takes after you.” She murmured gently. “And a little boy, Javier but he insists on Javi... he’s recovering, he’s been really sick for almost six months... he’s got leukaemia but he’s getting better.... I know right now you don’t remember them but it’s okay, take your time.” She murmured to him, squeezing his hand when she felt his grip tighten on her as well.

Richard smiled as she nodded. ‘Yeah Lily gonna go too and I got real good at sign language so I can help her out.’ Richard smiled and kissed her head. “Alright kiddo, that’s good but she’s gonna come in a few days remember, tomorrow is about making new friends.” He reminded her and set the pizzas down, tucking in quickly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Mac smiled more as she listened to her "Wow that sounds like a lot of fun Lizzie, I'm sure you'll both have a fun time." She said happily before she started to eat her pizza as well. Once they got to bed she layed with Richard kissing him lovingly "So how do you feel about her knowing?"

Pedro frowned and looked at her heartbroken squeezing her hand tight "I...
I don't...I don't remember any of it." He whispered letting a few tears fall "Two kids? Really?" He asked quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen nodded and pulled her phone out, showing him pictures. “Last year we even talked about adding one more ... Pedge... I... I know you’re scared and I promise to be here to help you through this... I just... we aren’t married anymore.” She told him quietly glancing down at her now empty hand. “We got divorced a couple months ago.” She explained slowly staying close still.

Richard smiled and lay with her, pulling his shirt off and lay back, pulling her into his chest. “It’s like a weight has been lifted... hake wasn’t the happiest about it... she’s still callling me uncle Richard but I get it, it’s gonna take time.” He murmured watching max gently. “Would you ever want your own kids?”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Pedro let his hand fall from hers when she said they weren't married anymore "We....no....Carmen no...." he whispered looking at the pictures of the kids before he broke down shaking some causing his monitors to start spiking left and right

Max nodded softly and kissed him lovingly "Yes I would love to have children of my own." She said quietly tracing patterns on his chest gently

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled and watched her. “I think you’d make an incredible mom... we just have to see where this keeps taking us.” He murmured softly and ran his fingers through her hair gently.

Carmen frowned taking her phone back and shook her head and grabbed his hands again. “Pedro look at me. Look at me, deep breaths it’s gonna be okay, you’re okay, hey, it’s fine I’m right here and I’m not going anywhere.” She promised. “Try to breathe.” She coaxed getting worried.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled softly at her and kissed him gently moving to straddle his waist "I think we would make adorable babies." She said smirking some before kissing him deeper

Pedro looked at her shaking his head more "What did I do?" He whispered knowing it had to have been him to cause a divorce because he knew he would have never divorced her but he knew it was probably him that pushed her over the edge.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned some and paused just glancing at his monitors for a moment before answering. “I lost my husband a while ago and I’ve been living with a soldier for too long... our children were living with a soldier not their father.” She explained quietly. “But it doesn’t change the fact that I will always always always love you.” She told him quietly. “And I’m not going anywhere while you recover, I’m here for whatever help you need.” She promised him. His family were all on the other side of the country so he didn’t have anyone else really.

He chuckled quietly. “I already know I make a cute kid and I’m sure you would too.” He murmured, pulling her down closer to him. “I think... my energy is finally back enough to be on top again.... unless you want to keep the switch?” He murmured against her lips.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Pedro frowned as he listened to her shaking his head some "I.....I'm so sorry Carmen." He whispered before he turned to look away from her ashamed of himself for what he had done.

Max smirked some "Mmm how about half ajd half." She said before she got down to business with him. She lay with him afterwards and panted softly smiling some at him

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen shook her head and made him look at her again. “It was for the best for both of us.” She mumbled though she didn’t really believe that. “Get some rest, I’ll be here when you wake up.” She promised and rubbed his arm gently.

Richard rolled over to sit on the edge of the bed panting heavily for a minute before laying with her again and pulling her in close. “Okay so maybe I’m not quite... back to one hundred.” He chuckled quietly and kissed her head. “But I’m getting there.” He promised and held her to him, pulling the blankets over then and kissed her head repeatedly.
