Realistic or Modern Shoulda Woulda Coulda

[Forever6A7X]

Henry went to be near her head giving a small laugh "You got this beautiful." He murmured. He broje out into the biggest smile when he heard crying fill the room "You did it babe, you did it." He said happily kissing the top of her head repeatedly as he cried happy tears.

Max looked at Hvitserk crying shaking her head some "I don't know. I came home and found him passed out on the floor." She whimpered

 

[decadent-rider]

She breathed heavy and just watched everything around her for a minute, well and truly spent. ‘We’d like to take them both in just in case to get them both checked over.’ One of the medics told Henry after letting him cut the cord “you gotta be fucking joking if you think I’m gonna stand up right now.” She muttered, frowning some just feeling really out of it and not looking great.

Hvitserk just frowned and watched as they were gonna start moving him. “Wait wait wait he’s got… shit hold on.” He told them going to get Ivars journal from his desk he always kept just in case, taking it back down to them and showed them his list of medications and condition before going back to max to help comfort her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Henry cut the cord and smiled wide seeing his daughter for the first time. He looked at the medics and frowned softly "Can't you get a stetcher for her?" He asked the medics

Max took a deep breath frowning more as they startes to cart him off "Where did you get that journal? I haven't see it before." She murmured

 

[decadent-rider]

Hvitserk frowned at her and raised an eyebrow. “It’s his medical stuff. He writes everything in here from his day to day and keeps the back free to track what medications he’s on and whatnot.” He told her frowning. “He’s not shown you this has he?”

Carmen frowned when they said they were bringing one up but she would need to get up to get on it and she just frowned and shook her head. “I can’t stand right now.” She told them seriously, reaching for her daughter and wanting to hold her, relaxing a little once Henry took her and placed her in carmens arms. “Oh hey Lana. Oh hey baby girl it’s mommy.” She murmured to her, forgetting anything else happening right now besides holding her little girl

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned more taking the journal and looking through it shaking her head some "No....I never knew he had it. Hvitserk I'm scared. He's getting worse and I can't loose him. I can't do it without him." She said quietly putting a hand absentmindely to her stomach.

Henry frowned more shaking his head some "I'll pick her up" he mumbled before handing Lana to Carmen smiling widely. He took a couple photos of them before kissing the top of her head "You are the most amazing woman. God I can't believe she is here."

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and shook his head "He's being stubborn about these surgeries but they would help him so much." He sighed quietly, taking her out to his car to drive her to the hospital

Carmen didn't even hear him, just staring at their daughter in awe, "Here... You wanna hold her daddy?" She asked him, smiling as she passed her over to him, "Oh... Once we get going you should call your mom." She told him exhaustedly, laying back again and startted passing out from being so worn out.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max nodded and followed him out to the car "I've been trying to get him to do them, but he just won't listen to me." She said softly before buckling up.

Henry smiled happily and took her into his arms "Hello my little princess, oh you are going to be so spoiled." He said happily before giving her a small nod "Yeah I'll make sure to facetime her." He murmured looking over and seeing she was fading "Hey hey...try and stay up baby, just until the medica get you on the stretcher."

 

[decadent-rider]

She hummed in response, not really hearing him again or that they'd got the stretcher up to them bu she passed out completely shortly after, not coming around for a few hours and finally waking up to the sound of Henry on the phone with someone, almost yelling about suing the hospital.

He sighed quietly and shook his head "I get it,,, he doesn't want more but. he's gonna need them before things get too much worse." He muttered, dropping her off, "Call me if you really need me but otherwise he won't want me there." He told her, making sure she got inside okay before heading home to let his family know what had happened

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod thanking him before hugging him tight. She looked at Ivar as she entered his room seeing he was still out. She looked over seeing a nurse checking over his charts "Is he okay? What happened?"

Henry sat there on the phone with his mother while Lana lay in a cot next to Carmen sleeping. He was venting to her about everything that had happened and that he was furious still with hospital and how they handled everything.

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned a little and carefully started to move to sit up, leaning back still though and smiled tiredly at him, reaching over once he was off the phone. “Hey… you don’t need to sue them babe. I’m okay, our little bug is okay… everything’s fine.” She murmured, smiling more once Henry had put Lana in her arms before sitting with her again. “She looks just like you.” She murmured.

She glanced over at her, making sure she was family before clearing her throat. “Hes had a lung collapse. And we suspect a minor heart attack.” She explained to her. “He should be waking up here soon. Let us know when he does.” She told her and left her to privacy.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Henry saw Carmen awake and quickly said goodbye to his mother. He picked up Lana and placed her in Carmen's arms before sitting with her "No, they deserve to be sued. Sending a pregnant woman away like that. I can only imagine what they've done to other mothers." He muttered

Max felt her breath catch her throat when she heard what happened. She gave the nurse a small nod and thanked her before turning her attention to Ivar.

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned some and rest her head back watching him continue to rant until she cut him off. “Henry. If you truly want to sue them fine. But right now… your daughter is here. First one.” She murmured and pecked his lips tiredly. “You get to do skin to skin yet?” She asked him quietly, glancing up when her midwife walked in and smiled. “I guess it’s time to feed her yeah?” She asked her quietly

He started coming around half an hour later and just looked over at her sitting by the bed, noting that her wedding show was on the tv. “You will survive without that trash love.” He mumbled, smiling tiredly when he saw her jump a little.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max jumped when she heard him speak and quickly muted the TV "Ivar don't scare me like that!" She said before moving to face him "How are you feeling?"

Henry shook his head some smiling as they came in to help her feed "I'll do it once she eats. I want her first contact to be with you." He said softly

 

[decadent-rider]

She just nodded and leaned back, going through it with the midwife before being left with Henry in peace again, "They sort out discharge papers yet?" She asked him quietly, "I'm assuming we can go first thing in the morning."She murmured to him, not able to take her eyes off their little girl. "Our little Lana." She smiled, looking up at Henry finally and smiling at the look on his face "What you looking so smug for?"

Ivar frowned some and reached for her hand "Like someone put me through a meat grinder." He smiled a little at her "I love you."He whispered "What happened? I remember going to the fridge and that's it." He told her quietly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Henry pouted a bit as he watched their daughter some "Those are my boobies." He pouted but gave a small laugh unable to keep up the fake hurt any longer "They did say your discharge papers will be ready tomorrow." He murmured before kissing the top of her head

Max frowned deeply "You lung collapsed....and they think you had a heart attack." She said softly before she finally broke into sobs hiding her face in the bed. The fear of possibly loosing him becoming too much for her.

 

[decadent-rider]

I”not anymore.” She mumbled exhausted, resting her head on his shoulder. “When’s your mom getting in?” She asked quietly, starting to fall asleep again, well and truly spent.

Ivar frowned some and gently coaxed her to sit with him, cupping her face “I’m okay though.” He tried to reassure her, giving her hand a squeeze.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Henry gave a small laugh before smiling a bit "She'll be here the day after next. I told her to wait until we get home." He murmured running his fingers through her hair.

Max shook her head as she sat with him picking up his journal "You're not okay Ivar... you're getting worse. You'll die soon if you don't get better." She whimpered

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned some. “You weren’t meant to see that.” He sighed a little, rubbing at his face. “Look I’m fine, I don’t have any other options right now anyway.” He pointed out.

Carmen nodded tiredly and gently burped lana once she was done. “Alright dad… shirt off, she wants time with you now.” She mumbled tiredly and carefully passed her over once he was shirtless, taking loads of photos for him before falling asleep again.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned more at him shaking her head "You do have options Ivar, you have the surgeries that we have been trying to get you to do for nearly a year." She said before wiping her eyes quickly

Henry chuckled softly and threw off his shirt before taking Lana into his arms. He smiled widely as he held her close to him "She is so perfect." He whispered

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned some and shook his head. “I can’t. What if they don’t work like the last two?” He questioned her

Carmen smiled tiredly at him again, going through the photos he had taken and smiled wider. “Kal was there the whole time?” She asked him

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max looked at him taking a deep breath "And what if it does? I know you hate them, I know all you've ever done is got through surgery after surgery." She whimpered before looking away to compose herself "What of our child though? I don't...I can't...I don't want you to die before ever meeting them."

Henry nodded happily "Oh yeah, refused to leave. Even growled at me and went to bite. Finally got him out of the room once they took you out." He murmured

 

[decadent-rider]

She smiled tiredly. “I can’t wait for them to meet her tomorrow.” She mumbled, resting her head back and drifting off. She was home by the next morning and they were managing to settle into their new dynamic in private for once. Plus she was incredibly grateful for his mother’s help and guidance until she’d had to go back home to Jersey. She woke up early in the morning to the sound of crying though, the day after his mother had gone home and immediately felt a sense of dread, jumping up and rushing to check on Lana before realising it was coming from downstairs. “Henry?! Baby you okay?” She called, taking Lana down there with her.

Ivar frowned and just watched her, about to answer when he started feeling weird again and just managed to go limp against her before blacking out and beginning to seize up, alarms blaring through the room

 

[Forever6A7X]

Henry had been thankful for their private settling into their new lives. His mother had been a god send for the two of them and both dogs were already warmed up to Lana. He looked back at Carmen after being up from the morning having gone to check on Kal. His eyes blood shot from crying so much Kal's head in his lap "Carmen...Kal....he...he's gone." He said quietlyb

Max went wide eyed and quickly got up pressing the call button repeatedly. She moved out of the way as the nurses rushed in.

 

[decadent-rider]

She stood staring at him for a minute before setting Lana in her rocker and kneeled down next to him. “Oh Kal sweetheart.” She whimpered. “What happened?” She asked him, holding on tightly to Henry, seeing Link coming over looking upset as well and she cuddled him close.

He was in and out for a few hours after that, finally coming around properly at two in the morning, seeing max sat there staring at him again, barely able to move and realising he had a couple more wires than before

 

[Forever6A7X]

Henry shook his head some before he started crying quietly again "He wasn't in the room when I woke up. I came to check on him and found him. My guess is in his sleep." He whispered

Max couldn't sleep after everything. Seeing him in a seizure foaming at the mouth on continuous loop in her head. She was terrified now and refused to take her eyes off of him.
