Realistic or Modern Second Chances

[decadent-rider]

Jon grit his teeth, shaking his head. “Nah. Nah I haven’t had a day off in a month! I told you I have an emergency.” He snapped at Jackson. “Fucking call Alex or something.” He muttered, pausing when he heard why they couldn’t and sighed heavily. “Hang on then.” He hung up and looked at max. “They want me on a run. Apparently Alex and carmen got caught up with their kid being sick….” He muttered

Carmen looked up at him and frowned, swallowing back her tears. “I don’t…” she didn’t get to finish her sentence when his mother walked into the room.

“Oh dear Leo…. I didn’t… I didnt think it would be a problem I didnt. It was only two.” She muttered, stepping over towards her grandson when Alex blocked her.

Max frowned softly as she listened to him giving a small nod "Well lets put this stuff back, take you home okay? Then me and missy ma'am here can come back for some shopping." She said before turning attention to Ana as she yelled at them.

Alex frowned more about to say something before he heard the door open. He turned around and quickly shielded his mother from his son "You're not welcome here." He muttered before processing what she had said "Wait what do you mean only two? What did you give him?!"

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned, barely able to process it when Cathy explained Leo wasn't wanting to go to bed cause she'd let him nap in the late afternoon and so she gave him two of her tablets to get him to go to sleep because they made her drowsy enough, "You gave my three year old, a thousand milligrams of your medication?!" She snapped at him, jumping up to go speak to his nurse to let her know what they'd just found out

Jon shook his head "No let's finish here then I need to go as long as it's okay with you to watch her?" He asked frowning, not liking having to ask that big a favor but right now it was necessary

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex looked at her wide eyed "You did what?!" He yelled pushing her out of the room "Get out! Get out of here and out of my life.!" He spat before going back to the room with Carmen and the Nurse now in it.

Max gave a small nod smiling softly at him "Of course I can. You uh...you mind if I steal your guest room?" She asked softly before looking around

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen just shook her head, gripping at Alex’s hand tight as she possibly could, watching them work on her little boy whilst she felt a mixture of guilt and helplessness

Jon thankedher quietly, lifting Anna up when she was getting a little fussy, trying to soothe her some. He’d always liked kids and the idea of having kids but he hadn’t ever met the right woman after max. So he was trying to see this as an opportunity instead of a problem

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex sat with her and took deep breaths while the ultimate feeling of guilt consumed him "I should have never let her back in my life.." he whispered. This hadn't been the first time she had ruined him. He stopped talking with her right after he dropped out of school when he found her OD'ing in their house.

Max smiled wide as she watched him hold Ana. She watched as the little girl started to calm some in his arms "Just bounce her lightly. She probably just wanted out of her carrier."

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head and held him tightly. “No honey no this… this is all on her. Not you. She was doing better. I made sure of it before I let her have Leo for the night I… this is not our fault. If we think like that…” she trailed off and just shook her head


“Hey, I know how to handle babies like this. I’m just not good at the full time taking care thing. Carmen used to bring Leo to the club house all the time when he was this little. When she needed a break and he’d come play with uncle Jon.” He chuckled.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex quickly wiped his eyes and nodded some "He'll...he'll be okay. They're figure this out." He said softly before kissing the side of her head as he pulled her close to him

Max laughed lightly as she grabbed some packs of onesies "Oh yeah? Well you look good with a kid in your arms." She said happily

-3 weeks-
Jon had been up since four in the morning with Anna, trying his best to make sure she was being taken care of well but truly he was exhausted and he felt bad constantly asking Mac for help. He had her next to him in the club house for now, trying to feed her lunch.

Carmen was a wreck. Well and truly. Leo still hadn’t woken up and after being questioned for hours by the cops after reporting what Alex’s mother had done , they had managed to practically convince her that it was almost entirely her own fault that it had happened. She hadn’t eaten, barely slept and she wasn’t really talking to anyone except Alex and his nurses, refusing to leave the room except for when Alex was forcing her to go shower and get some rest.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max drove up to the clubhouse that day for lunch wanting to check in on Jon and also be in a safe space. Her ex had been uping his appearances lately and she knew he was following her by this point. She walked inside and smiled widely as Ana squealed pushing the bottle from her when she saw her "Well hello sweet girl!" She cooed taking the baby into her arms "And how are you today?"


Alex sighed heavily as he sat outside smoking a cigarette trying to keep it together. Things were looking worse, Leo's nurses were trying to prepare them for it but it wasn't helping. It had been literal hell these past few weeks. He thought Prison was bad but honestly he would rather be there. The police had torn Carmen apart and while he tried to convince her none of this was her fault she didn't seem to listen at all.

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon groaned a little and grit his teeth. “Here. You feed her then.” He snapped a little, passing her the bottle as well, going to get a drink from the bar. Part of where his frustrations lay was how much max had been around when she’d made it clear enough she didn’t want to be with him anymore. He figured she had no idea how bad this was hurting him having her there but also not his.

Carmen stepped outside and found Alex on a bench, going to sit with him for a minute, pulling her knees up to her chest. “They took him for some tests. Said it would be about an hour.” She mumbled, leaning into him.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned softly at him taking the bottle and started to feed her. She took a deep breath about to ask him something before she noticed her Ex's car pull up on the Cameras 'Jon! Come help this guy!' She heard one of the guys yell. She went wide eyed and rushed to stand infront of him "Don't say anything about yourself to him Jon....please."

Alex stomped out his cigarette before he pulled her close "Lets hope this is the one to find out whats wrong." He said quietly kissing the side of her head gently

 

[decadent-rider]

She just nodded and frowned, pressing her face into his shoulder. “I don’t know how much more I can take.” She mumbled, shaking a little.

Jon frowned and shook his head. “What the fuck are you on about?” He muttered, glancing outside “Why would he? Do you know him?” He questioned her before heading outside and over to him. “Hey, what you here for?” He asked the guy

 

[Forever6A7X]

Tye looked the guy up and down smirking a bit "Think it needs an oil change." He said before trying to see if he could see into the club house"Is Maxine here? I see her car in the parking lot."

Alex sighed softly nodding some "Yeah I don't think I can take much more either." He said quietly letting a few tears fall

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned and held onto him tighter. “I’m so sorry. I should have made her spend a night at our house with him first.” She whimpered.

Jon shook his head. “You’re here for an oil change. That’s it.” He told him, taking the keys. “You can sit in the office of the garage. Clubhouse is off limits.” He told him seriously.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex frowned more shaking his head "Shush, this is not ypur fault understand? You and I both had no idea what she would do." He whispered before kissing her cheek

Tye frowned some and gave a nod "Can you have her call me? Its important that I speak to her."

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon frowned and turned around. “Tell you what. How about instead, you get in your car, you drive away from here. You leave max the fuck alone. And if I see your face around here again you’re gonna regret ever speaking her name. Get out. We’re done here.” He snapped at him, chucking the keys back at him and going into the club house. “Hey! Who the fuck is that?!” He questioned her, taking Anna back into his arms, bouncing her gently

Carmen frowned, heading back inside with him after a while and waited in his room until they were bringing Leo back, asking to speak to Alex alone for the moment

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max looked at him as he took Ana back and frowned more seeing everyone staring "Follow me." She mumbled not wanting her business out there fully as she pulled hik towards his apartment. As they got inside she gave a heavy sigh "He's my ex....we dated for a few years and it ended badly. I was pregnant and I-I had an abortion. Things were already getting physical and I couldn't allow a child to come into that. I ended things right after and he found out, he lost his shit and nearly killed me.." she explained before letting a few tears fall "I got a restraining order and tried to keep on living there. He stayed away for a year then started stalking me. So I left...and now he is here stalking me again."

Alex stepped out with his main nurse "Whats wrong?" He asked softly rubbing at his eyes a bit

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and had Leo’s doctor come over to speak with him. “Mr. Ludwig… one of the tests we ran for Leo this afternoon was a brain function test. I’m afraid the results of that show us that there is very very little left and if he did survive this he would have a very low quality of life.

Jon frowned some and listened, sighing heavily. “Why did you wait this long to tell me?” He muttered, “right. He’s been coming to your place? I’m coming over tonight. This time when he comes over let him in the house. He’s gonna be fucking dealt with.” He told her seriously

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex went a bit wide-eyed and took a shaky breath "Excuse me? No...fuck...there has to be something you can do." he said nearly begging now as dread started to sink in. How was he going to tell Carmen? He knew this would completely break her and if they lost Leo he knew she would probably be next.

Max frowned a bit shaking her head some "Jon please...you don't have to do that. I can handle him. I'm sorry you got dragged into this." she said softly. She watched as Ana stared at him feeding some "He won't come back, I'll make sure of it."

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head "We can continue to do everything possible to help him recover but the damage was done when he was brought in and the medications were mixed unknowingly.... We can't reverse anything... If it is you and your wife's wish to keep trying then we will... but it's not likely going to be what is best for Leo." She explained as gently as she could.

Jon shook his head, clenching his jaw momentarily. "And how are you gonna make sure of it? Call the cops? Cause that's clearly worked so well this far in... Do what I'm telling you to and you won't ever have to hear from him again." He promised her, staring intensely at her "Max.... I promise." He told her sincerely. Part of it was that he didn't want her to be the one to have blood on her hands if things went south but the other part of it was that he was pissed some guy was treating her this way in the first place.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex took a deep breath and gave a small nod before running his hands over his face "Alright...uh thank you." he said quietly before he stepped back into the room. He looked at Carmen trying to figure out how he was going to tell her everything.

Max took a deep breath tensing at how serious he was being. She gave a small nod before sitting down "Alright...just...alright." she whispered watching him "How has she been today? You look like you haven't slept." she murmured trying to change the conversation

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon raised an eyebrow "I've knwon you too long for that to work with me. I'm not finished. You should have told me sooner so I couldn't handled it for you already. Even if we aren't together you still have club protection." He reminded her.

Carmen glanced up at him and frowned "He's feeling a little warm today." She mumbled, going and getting some baby wipes from her bag and gently wiping at his face to cool him off a little "I don't want him uncomfortable even if he doesn't notice." She told him quietly, "What did they want with you?"

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max sighed heavily and pinched the bridge of her nose "Being gone for ten years and suddenly showing up asking to fix my problems is kind of shitty." She said before standing up "I can set up my guest room for you alright?" She murmured before leaning up to kiss his cheek "Thank you Jon."

Alex watched her moving to sit next to her slowly. He took her hands in his before taking a shaky breath "They....they did a brain function test. They said he barely has any left...and....and that if he makes it his quality of life will be very poor...but...they don't-they said there is nothing else they can do." He explained before letting tears fall and looking up at her "I'm so sorry my love.."

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen sat there silent, barely reacting to the news besides staring at the wall, not really hearing Alex beyond that until his doctor came in to ask what they would like to do going forward. “If.. if it’s really that bad… if he’s hurting… then we should be letting him go…. I… just do it.” She mumbled, getting up and leaving the room.

Jon frowned some but nodded. “Alright. I’m gonna go get this one down for a nap.” He told her, chuckling a little to himself over how weird his life had become with a baby being dumped on his porch.
