[Forever6A7X]

Noah did everything he could to stay awake for her "Tired....hurting.....hard....hard to breathe..." he panted as he did his best to try and calm down "Stay....calm.."

Max smiled happily seeing Bill's name pop up on her phone. She answered quickly while she finished getting Erik's hair done "Hey! You get out early?" She asked while sending Erik off to get his shoes.

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded slowly “you’re doing so good. Just keep talking to me okay?” She coaxed, only leaving him when she needed to open the front door and stood to the side while they worked, finally able to call Ragnar. “Hi dad. Hey me and Noah won’t be able to make it tonight.” She told him and went on to explain what was happening while she got her shoes and jumper so she could ride with them.

He smiled a little, walking out to get in the car that his family had sent to collect him. “Something like that… told you I’d call soon as I was out.” He chuckled. “You having a good time with your kid?” He asked.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ragnar frowned as he listened to her explain everything and nodded some "Do you want someone to be up there with you? I can send Jolly." He said while he sat back in his chair ready to makw the call if she asked him to.

Max smiled a bit more and nodded "Yeah I am. He's so happy to see me, I'm feeling a lot better too." She said happily helping Erik with his shoes as he came back "Good job bud, give me just a minute to talk to my friend okay?" She said gently to him before turning her attention back to her phone call "Are you going straight home?" She asked him

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and shook her head a little. “No… no dad I need you.” She whimpered a little. It wasn’t often she begged for him to come help. They’d all been raised to be independent but after everything that had gone on lately she was desperate for her dad.

He nodded. “I am indeed. Well… home to stay with a brother.” He chuckled. “When can I see you?” He asked her. “I don’t wanna scare your kid or anything.” He nodded to his driver and got in the back of the car.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ragnar sat up straighter when he heard her ask for him and sighed quietly "Alright, I'll be there in 30 minutes." He murmured before he got up to get ready fully "Carmen and Noah will not be joining us tonight. I'm going to see them at the hospital." He informed Aslaug hoping she didn't throw a fit.

Max bit her lip hard at his question "I um....I'm not sure honestly. He's being very clingy, so it might be a little while. We could face time later though if you want." She said softly hoping he'd understand. She liked Bill a lot, but she didn't want to bring him around Erik just yet.

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled. “Beautiful I ain’t going anywhere. He’s your priority.” He sssured her. “Just looking forward to finally seeing you where we don’t gotta sneak around.” He told her smiling.

Carmen got out and followed them as far as they would let her once they arrived, going to sit in the waiting room once they took him through to an emergency room, sitting with her face in her hands until she heard her fathers voice, standing up and hugging him tightly, “I can’t keep doing this.” She sobbed.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled happily, beyond thankful that he was so understanding. "I know, I can't wait either. I'm kinda under watch still, my brother in law wants to make sure I stay clean." She said softly before hearing Hvitserk's voice "Let me call you later okay? We're about to sit down for breakfast." She murmured before saying goodbye and going to the kitchen to see Hvitserk and Amma.

Ragnar got there as quickly as he could. He was thankful to find her in the waiting room and immediately wrapped his arms around her when she hugged him "Its going to be alright, the gods won't take him. They told me so." He whispered to her

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and shook her head. “He was okay. He had the fever but he was alright and he went to take a shower and it just… got worse so quickly.” She whimpered, “I’m pregnant. And we’re both so excited but I just need him to take it easy until he is fully in the clear.” She rambled.

Hvitserk raised an eyebrow at her with Erik already down there. “What friend were you talking to?” He asked her chuckling and nodding over to Erik. “He spilled the beans the moment he came down.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ragnar couldn't help but break into a smile when she mentioned being pregnant "I know, the gods told me as well." He said quietly rubbing her back gently "It will be okay, he will come out of this."

Max laughed lightly and smiled "Someone I met at the get away." She explained ruffling Erik's hair "He wanted to see how I was doing, and wanted to see if we could meet up." She explained as she sat down "But he understands little man here is my top priority, so I won't be going out for a little bit."

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded slowly. “Just be careful. Addicts shouldn’t stay friends with each other.” He muttered, taking his coffee and heading to his study to get some work done.

Carmen just held onto him tightly, needing nothing more than her dads comfort right now until eventually they were calling Noah’s name and she pulled away to go see how he was doing.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small sigh and nodded "I know Hvitty, I'm being careful I promise." She said quietly before turning to Erik "What would you like to do today baby?"

Ragnar followed behimd her as they went to the room. He frowned some when he walked into the room seeing Noah awake but on an oxygen mask and hooked up to all kinds of wires.

 

[decadent-rider]

She sighed quietly and went to sit on the edge of the bed, “hey, how you feeling?” She asked him quietly, smoothing his hair out of his face. “Did they come talk to you yet?” She murmured, frowning at how high his temperature still was.

Amma smiled as Erik shrugged and said something about playing with his toys before running off. “I tell him every day is like to borrow some of his energy.” She told her. “Carmen and Noah won’t be at the dinner tonight. But everyone else will. Possibly no Ragnar… have you spoken to hee much?” She asked, stretching out a little before putting her plates in the dishwasher along with Erik’s.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah shook his head some and took a shaky breath "Tired, I'm tired." He whispered looking a bit confused seeing her dad there "Is....is everyone okay?" He asked quietly

Max laughed lightly and nodded "I'd get so much done with that energy." She said before frowning softly at the mention of Carmen "No I haven't, I was hoping I'd be able to speak with her tonight." She murmured "I owe you both by the way, I cannot thank you enough for what you've done for Erik."

 

[decadent-rider]

she nodded slowly and squeezed his hand. “Yeah everyone’s okay baby…. They’re trying to get your fever down still…. But they think that the kidney might be rejecting.” She murmured, frowning as she watched him trying to stay awake. “Rest puppy. Just rest okay?” She coaxed, chewing on her lip to stop from crying until he was out.

Amma sighed and nodded. “Yeah. Have you apologised to him yet?” She asked her frowning. “Cause the shir I have watched him go through this past year. The way you have treated everybody? I understand that you have been in pain but you were not the only one. And while everyone was trying to help you out you were trying to make everyone else worse.” She muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned a bit a gave a small nod "I haven't yet, but I will soon." She said quietly getting up after that and making her way to sit with Erik and watch him. She gave a small sigh as she sat down trying to process everything and how she needed to apologize to Hvitserk, because Amma was right.

Ragnar sat beside her and rubbed her back gently "I'll make sure he is at the top of the list if it is the kidney rejecting." He murmured quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded slowly, frowning a little, "He never asked for any of this. None of us did but Noah... Noah was just a lost kid who got picked up by that family and handed a gun. I've talked with Jolly about it so much... He's being blamed for something that wasn't his fault." She muttered, wiping her eyes a little and taking a deep breath. "How is mother taking Lagertha living in the area again?" She asked him smiling a little.

Erik looked up at her and went to sit on the couch next to her with one of his toy cars. "Mama.... Am I gonna get a new Daddy?" He asked her frowning a little.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ragnar gave a small sigh but chuckled quietly when she mentioned Lagertha "Oh she is loving it.." he muttered with another chuckle shrugging "I haven't been to see her yet though."

Max sighed softly at his question "Oh honey I'm not sure, if you do it won't be for a while." She explained quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

She sighed a little "You should. Bjorn mentioned the other day that she is missing your company. The two of you will always be connected. There is no escaping that. And I truly believe that is Lagertha that you will be united with one day together in Fólkvangr." She told him, frowning more when a few alarms started going off and she stood up, moving out of the way

He frowned a little "But it's not fair that everyone has a Daddy but me." He mumbled, pouting up at her. "Mama I wanna go home." He muttered, "We go home tomorrow yeah?" He asked, hopeful.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ragnar stepped away with her as the alarms went off "Mmm you think so? Don't tell your mother....but I think so too." He said quietly watching them start to look him over.

Max sighed heavily and held him to her "I know its unfair baby. I wish I could bring him back." She murmured before kissing the top of his head "I'll talk with uncle Hvitserk okay? See what we can do."

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen nodded slowly, not taking her eyes away from Noah until they had him settled again, just going to sit by him, squeezing his hand gently, "I'm okay now I think Dad... I'll call you if anything changes." She told him quietly, standing to hug him tightly once more and thanked him then went to sit with Noah, scrolling through things on her phone to wait for him to wake up again.

He nodded a little and just cuddled into her some. He spent the whole day attached to her side until they were going to his grandpa's for dinner, running off to play with his cousins the moment they got there, excited to have kids around again.

Bjorn was the first to see Max and smiled, "Oh there she is. It's good to have you home." He smiled, hugging her tightly and stood up again, "How are you doing?" He asked. His and Ivar's relationship had always been a little strained, especially with how large the age gap was between them especially but he had a great respect for the one woman who had been able to tame him a little

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah was awake hours later groaning softly "Carmen..." he whispered as he reached for her trying to get her attention "I'm.....sorry..." he whispered looking at her with pained and terrified eyes.

Max smiled happily and hugged Bjorn "Hey, its good to be home. I'm doing better, got a better head on my shoulders now." She said softly as she followed him into the house "How are you? And Gunnhild?" She asked quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

She smiled a little at him and moved a little closer. “Hey, hey you’re gonna be okay yeah? You’re gonna be alright. I’m right here. They got your fever down to safer levels.” She murmured. “Hey you think it’s a boy or a girl?” She asked, trying to distract him a little to cheer him up.

He nodded and smiled. “That’s good to hear. Things are good. My mother moved nearby recently which makes it easier for the children to see her and the above board work is going well.” He told her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah nodded some and took a deep breath "Mmmm girl, I think.....I think I'd be a good girl dad." He whispered squeezing her hand gently "What do......what do you think?"

Max nodded and smiled some "Thats great to hear. I'm glad your mother is closer too, bet the kids love seeing her." She said softly before waving at everyone as they got to the kitchen.

 

[decadent-rider]

She smiled and nodded. “I think you’d be a great girl dad…. But you’re gonna be a great dad whatever we have. I see the way you are with the kids at family gatherings… you’re gonna be great.” She murmured, “Is there anything I can do?” She asked him, wanting nothing more than to snap her fingers and have him better, worried sick about him.

He nodded a little and glanced at the time. “Is Ragnar back yet?” He asked his step mother, frowning when she said he’d been called back to the hospital again but this time by Noah’s doctors.

Bill sat at home with a cigarette, rubbing at his face and trying to focus on the tv while he did his best to be patient and not bother max but it wasn’t going very well and he was still glancing at his phone every five seconds

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah gave a small smile and nodded a bit "Think.....think your dad would want a grandson?" He asked softly knowing they were currently outnumbered by girls right now.

Max gave a small frown at the mention of Noah, hoping that he was okay. She grabbed a drink and went to sit down pulling out her phone as it dinged and smiled some seeing Bill's name 'Hey there, whats up?' She responded
