Realistic or Modern Second Chances

[decadent-rider]

Jon sighed a little and shook his head "I'm good... How's uh... how's Carmen holdin' up?" He asked him quietly, keepign Max close to his side for comfort for her once they were in the kitchen, not about to add to Alex's load what had happened that morning "Tyler texted me... He really come oer and ask you to go to work this morning?" he frowned, really hoping that it wasn't true

Carmen could hear them all chatting downstairs but she couldn't bring herself to get up and go see them. she knew and appreciated that they were only trying to help but she couldn't face even the thought of being around other people right now let alone talking to them so she gathered up his blanket and went to go lay down in their bed again

Alex frowned as he brought up Tyler and nodded a bit "Yeah, I almost threw my kutte at him and said keep it. This is getting ridiculous Jon." he muttered before taking a deep breath "Leo he....he...it hasn't been 24 hours and they expect me to go up there? Act like nothing happened? Like my wife doesn't need me here or that I need to be here with her?" he said starting to get worked up while Max left to wander upstairs.

Max listened to Alex for a bit until she managed to go find Carmen. She knocked quietly on the door not opening it but speaking through it "Hey Carmen...I'm out here if you need anything alright?" she said softly before sitting outside the door. She knew Carmen all too well. She knew she wouldn't be up for talking or doing much of anything right now, but she wanted her to know that she had someone there for her.

Jon frowned and held his hand up “he’s being dealt with. His days are numbered but you gotta give me and Jackson a little more time to get it all set up.” He told him seriously. “How is she doing?” He asked him, getting himself and Alex a beer out the fridge to help him settle.

Carmen frowned trying to muster up a thank you but the words died in her throat and she could do no more than lay there staring at the wall, clutching Leo’s favorite blanket. She’d felt awful that she hadn’t packed it for his sleepover at his nana house but now she was glad it didn’t smell like the woman.

Alex moved to sit with him at fhe dining table shaking his head a bit "She barely speaks, won't eat. I'm about to have to force her." He murmured before sipping at his bottle "It was my fucking mother Jon....she...she fucking gave him two tablets of her medication so he would sleep. They got Carmen thinking its her fault for us leaving him with my mother."

 

[decadent-rider]

He sighed heavily and shook his head. “Jesus. I knew she was bad with you but she seemed to be better few times I’ve bumped into her.” He muttered, talking with him until he finished his drink and stood up. “Call if you need anything.” He told him, calling for max and finally took her out of there to go pick up Anna. “That makes me wanna see me little girl right now.” He muttered sighing again.

Carmen heard the door open a little later and just reached for Alex, still feeling dizzy from not eating but she really didn’t even feel hungry.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max got up and left with Jon nodding softly "Yeah I could go for some Anna cuddles right about now." She murmured beforr she started to doze off in the chair. She had barely slept the night before and it was now starting to kick in after her adrenaline was wearing off.

Alex came up to the room a little later with food "Hey beautiful. I brought you a banana and some broth. You gotta eat babe." He murmured as he sat on the edge of the bed placing the broth on her nightstand and handed her the banana.

 

[decadent-rider]

She let him put it in her hand but just stayed staring at the wall, barely moving and not acknowledging him until she felt his hand on her face. “Not hungry.” She mumbled.

Jon picked Anna up and left max to sleep the whole time, heading over to his place and getting his little one inside before finally going back out and waking her up. “Hey… come on, you can sleep in my bed.”
He told her quietly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex frowned as she completely stared off into space. He placed a hand on her cheek shaking his head some "Baby you have to eat. I can't loose you too."

Max whimpered on and off as they rode out. She jumped as she felt him shake her awake quickly rubbing the sleep from her eyes "Huh? Oh no, no I'm okay." She said softly

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head. “Not hungry.” She repeated but place her hand over his, giving it a squeeze.

Jon nodded, helping her inside then went to get Anna out her car seat, “oh there’s my little princess.” He cooed to her. “I didn’t even mention her to them. I didn’t think they needed to hear about this right now.” He sighed.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex looked at her with concerned eyes shaking his head more "You need to eat Carmen, you'll get sick. Please don't make have to force feed you." He said quietly

Max smiled softly when she heard Ana squeal at him "Yeah right now is not the time." She said softly before going inside with the two of them. She smiled softly as she tickled Ana's little feet to make her squeal "She is just too cute."

 

[decadent-rider]

She didn’t say a word and just put the banana down, moving his hand away. “I’m fine.” She muttered. “Did you call your father?” She asked him quietly. Both their fathers had been a part of the MC and his dad still was, just in a different chatter so they hadn’t been able to see him much.

Jon smiled tiredly. “Are you sure you wouldn’t want us to try again?” He asked her, not caring how blunt he was being. He missed her terribly and he wasn’t sure he could have her around him much longer if it had to be just friends.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex frowned more and shook his head a bit "No I haven't...I'll call him later." He muttered before turning her chin to look at him "I love you Carmen." He murmured before pecking her lips.

Max watched him a bit before placing a hand on his cheek. She smiled very lightly before leaning in and pressing a soft kiss to his lips "No, I would be lying if I said I didn't miss you terribly. I just...I wanted to be sure we're both in a good space before we did anything." She explained

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and rolled his eyes. “You could have just asked people if I was a still tweaking.” He pointed out.

Carmen didn’t say a word in return, just placing her hand over his on her face and leaning into his touch.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned shook her head some "Wasn't looking at just the tweaking Jon." She murmured softly kissing his cheek "I wanted to make sure we were both doing alright." She said softly giggling as Anna slapped at his face "Oh someone wants attention huh?"

Alex let a few tears fall as he watched her some "I love you.." he whispered kissing her forehead gently

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned, pulling him in closer and trying to pull him on top, still not speaking.

Jon chuckled and tickled her tummy a little. “I guess so… why don’t we go get some dinner. My treat.” He told her. “I’m back at work tomorrow but tonight I’m all yours.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex frowned a bit but moved to lay next to her cuddling up close to her "I love you." he whispered again trying to figure out how to help her the best he could.

Max gave a small nod "Would you be okay if we ordered in? I uh...I'd like to just stay here." she said softly before moving to sit down on the couch. She was trying her best to not relive the events of that morning but she was still a bit shaken up.

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon nodded. “Yeah, see if you can find somewhere that delivers.” He told her quietly, getting Anna payed down for a little while, moving to sit with max and pull her close.

Carmen frowned shaking her head and tugged on him to get him on top of her, kissing him a little desperately.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max curled into him as he pulled her close taking in his scent before she broke down crying clinging to him like a safety blanket. She was terrified, scared to death it was a nightmare or that Jon would get caught for what had happened.

Alex kissed her lovingly frowning some when she started to tug his shirt off "Carmen...Carmen baby stop...are you sure you want this?" he asked quietly cupping her cheeks in his hands

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and frowned more. “Come on.” She mumbled, tugging on his joggers to get them off as well, just wanting something to take her away from the moment.

Jon frowned and pulled her in close. “Hey, it’s alright, I got you okay?” He murmured, kissing her head repeatedly. “He’s been dealt with and he’s never gonna get you again.” He promised her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex layed with her afterward panting a bit before wiping the sweat from his brow. He stayed quiet as he turned over to look her over giving a small sigh as she stared off into space.

Max nodded softly wiping her eyes "Sorry...I guess I forgot how to properly be an old lady huh?" She said giving a small laugh to try and ease up "They don't usually cry about this stuff."

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned a little and just rolled in closer, pulling her top back on, curling up into him. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now.” She told him softly, “I still feel like I’m gonna wake up and it was all a horrible nightmare. I can’t… this can’t be real.” She mumbled.

He smiled and shook his head, “and if I wanted one of them I would have picked one by now. But I pick you. Every time.” He murmured, kissing her forehead repeatedly and wiping her tears. “You hurt me so bad but I never stopped loving you.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex pulled her in close to him and nodded some "I don't know what to do either. I could go to the club, throw myself in it and forget this ever happened. But I can't be that man anymore, he is the reason this shit happened." He said quietly

Max looked up at him and nodded softly cupping his cheek gently "You don't know how many times I wanted to come running back...but I never thought you'd want to see me again." She said softly

 

[decadent-rider]

He chuckled quietly and just pulled her in closer. “You’re home now.” He murmured, resting his head against hers and enjoying the quiet.

She frowned and just gripped at his hand. “I love you.” She mumbled quietly, starting to fall asleep

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max nodded softly keeping close to him kissing his cheek gently "So how are you feeling about her now?" She asked as she looked over at Ana who was still asleep in her little rocker.

Alex held her and nodded some "I love you too." He said softly before starting to drift to sleep as well

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen slept on and off til morning, getting up early and wandering out back to sit with a coffee and cigarette but ultimately just staring at the back fence, a blanket wrapped around her shoulders and not touching her coffee.

He smiled a little, watching her. “We’re getting into routine. Tyler is one foot out the door anyway so the fact he was pissed I had to step back a little didn’t matter. Still doesn’t. Me and Jackson are waiting for the right time to take him out.” He muttered. “He’s running this club into the ground and he took Alex down with him and now he’s expecting us to all run around for him.
