Realistic or Modern Something in the Orange

[Forever6A7X]

Max was ready to go off on her before Bill stood and excused them "How could they just think that its okay?!" She said as they got into the car taking deep breaths to calm down.

Ubbe came in and smiled a bit following her to the kitchen while he sent Karl to the lounge "His surgery is next week correct? I'll make sure to have men there at all times." He said to her giving a small smile "How are you and my little niece doing?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She noddded and sighed. “She’s fine. Making me puke all morning.” She grumbled. “Can’t wait til she’s here… are you two getting on okay? Cause he wouldn’t tell me what your conversation was about the other day.” She frowned.

Bill sighed and shrugged, driving them back. “Listen it’s fine. I’m sure I’ll be okay, I’d rather leave than start a fight. Work is violent enough without dragging it home too.” He mumbled

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe chuckled some "Asta did that to Torvi as well. Always had her sick." He said before giving her a small nod. "We're getting on just fine. Just a small disagreement on how to handle something. It's been handled now though so we are fine." He assured her.

Max gave a heavy sigh but nodded some "I just don't want you to go backwards. You've been doing so well." She said squeezing his hand gently

 

[decadent-rider]

She sighed a little and just shook her head. “Boys and their quarrels. “The papers are in here.” She told him quietly, taking him to the study and got them gathered up. “If you don’t mind though, I’d like to get back to resting. We got a long week coming up and we would just like to deal with it quietly.” She told him, heading back upstairs to their room with a bowl of cold water and a flannel, sitting on the edge of the bed and gently making it into a cold compress for him, laying it over his forehead.

He smiled and glanced over at her as he pulled into the parking garage. “Love… I’m going to be just fine.” He promised her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe gave a small nod and smiled some "Thank you, we'll get out of your hair. Call us if you need anything okay?" He murmured kissing her forehead before he took his son and left.

Max gave a small nod and smiled a bit "Alright." She said before kissing his cheek and got out with him

 

[decadent-rider]

By the time they got home he was starting to eat his words, paying the taxi driver and getting in the elevator in the building to get to their place, shaking by the time they got to their front door “We don’t know that she’s the one who’s made me sick.” He muttered after catching maxs scowl.

Carmen lay wide awake the morning of his surgery, staring at him and frowning until she heard his stomach growling which caused a smile, thinking back to the previous night where he’d been a saint and gone to pick up her pregnancy cravings whilst not being allowed to eat or drink anything.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max scowled at him when she noticed how he was shaking "Yeah yeah." She muttered before helping him inside "Go lay dow , I'll make you a warm towel press."

Aemond gave her a small sigh and watched her "This no eating is for the birds. I do not recommend." He muttered kissing her hand gently

 

[decadent-rider]

She smiled and gently brushed her thumb across his cheek. “And it’s gonna stop you from choking to death later on. When we get you home I’ll make anything you want “ she murmured, giving his hand a squeeze. “She’s kicking again.”

He just nodded and hauled their bags to just inside the door, going to their room to get some rest, feeling like he just had a cold for now but feeling like it might get worse and just worrying about how max was going to cope, not wanting her to stress more

 

[Forever6A7X]

Aemond smiled widely placing his hand where she was kicking "I can't wait to meet her and spoil her rotten." He said happily

Max came back to him a few minutes later placing a warm rag on his forehead "You don't have a fever thankfully; but hopefully this can help with the chills." She murmured pulling the comforter over him.

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and just nodded, giving her hand a squeeze. “Love you.” He mumbled, trying to tug on her to lay with him

Carmen smiled, gently tucking his hair out of his face and shook her head. “I’m not letting you raise a brat though.” She warned, sighing as the alarm went off. “We better get going.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled softly "I love you too, let me get in my night clothes and I'll come lay with you." She said softly before getting up.

Aemond chuckled some "But of course, we'll make sure to have her well balanced." He said before sighing as the alarm went off

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded and just watched her tiredly, falling asleep before she was even in bed, still shivering and before long was coughing in his sleep.

She got up and got dressed into comfy clothes, making sure they had their bag ready each for the next couple days, giving his hand a squeeze. “You ready to go?” She asked quietly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max stayed awake most of the night keeping an eye on him. She was worried sick now about him and as the night progressed he only got worse. By the next morning she had medicine out for him and was trying to get ahold of his doctor for an antibiotic.

Aemond sighed heavily but nodded some "As ready as I'll ever be." He murmured before squeezing her hand back. He let go of her after and took their bags downstairs to get into the car.

 

[decadent-rider]

Bill woke up to the sound of an automated voice telling her she was third in the queue, sitting up and hunching forward to try and breathe.

She just nodded and sat in the back of the taxi with him, watching the world go by and once they arrived let him organise everything until they were left in his room to wait for a little while. “I’m really sorry… but I’m going to lose my shit if I don’t eat. I can go in the hall if you want.” She mumbled as she started rummaging through her bag

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max sighed heavily placing her phone down and on speaker when she felt Bill moving "Hey, easy now." She murmured as she helped him up "How are feeling?"

Aemond chuckled softly as he sat in the bed just waiting for them to take him back "Don't worry about it beautiful, eat. Our little one needs it."

 

[decadent-rider]

She just nodded and pulled out a few quick snacks, scoffing them down before going to sit with him, resting her head on his shoulder "You doing okay?" She asked him quietly. They'd already done all his pre stuff and it would be another few minutes but she was starting to feel how tense he was getting.

He frowned and just squeezed her hand twice, "Can't breathe." He grunted, trying to get into any position that would help but it felt like his chest was on fire and there wasn't much he was able to do about it

 

[Forever6A7X]

Aemond gave a small nod and took a deep breath "Yeah...just uh...shit its getting close huh?" He said quietly giving her hand a tight squeeze.

Max frowned deeply quickly going to get his breathing machine. She had brought it on the safe side and was thankful for it now. She quickly got him set up just as she heard the doctor's voice echo on her phone "Just a minute!" She called before running to the phone when she got it started "Hello? Yes hi, I need antibiotics for Bill. He's gotten bronchitis."

 

[decadent-rider]

Bill frowned more just shaking his head "Fuck sake's! Are you fucking stupid?!" He spat at her, "I need a hospital not antibiotics!" He wheezed out, feeling like he was going to be sick on top of all of it,

She nodded and smiled "You're gonna be fine okay? With just a little luck it'll be some scar tissue build up from the crash and we can get you home and better within a couple days." She murmured, kissing his cheek, looking up when his nurse came to take him through "I'll be right here okay?"

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned more and quickly ended the phone call before calling 911 "No I'm not fucking stupid Bill!" She screamed at him before leaving the room and getting an ambulance to them.

Aemond gave a small nod and squeezed her hand gently "You're right, I'm sure it'll be just fine." He said before kissing her gently just before they took him back

 

[decadent-rider]

He groaned a little and lay back again after that, feeling like it was hours before paramedics finally arrived and came in to look him over, barely aware of what was going on around him, 'And how long has he been like this? We're gonna take him in, he's down to 92% oxygen saturation. Alright, we're gonna move him, you can come with us if you want to.' He passed out after that, going in and out for a long while until he came to in a room, feeling just as awful as he did before.

She smiled and kissed his cheek, watching him go and soon sat down to pick up her book to try and get her mind off the whole thing

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned softly and explained everything to the paramedics. She looked over at Bill when she heard him groaning "Hey....hey stay calm; they got a tube down your throat to help you breath." She explained before giving a heavy sigh "I'm sorry I didn't call them sooner." She whispered having been beating herself up the whole time about it.

Aemond was wheeled in a few hours later by nurses and completely passed out "He'll be asleep for a few hours, the surgery went well though. The doctor will be in once he wakes up; but if you'd like to talk to him now I can get him for you." One of the nurses told her

 

[decadent-rider]

he frowned as he watched her, slowly becoming more aware of everything attached to him while he fumbled around to try and find her hand, eventually feeling her fingers in his and gave them a squeeze,

She smiled and nodded. “Thank you. That would be good.” She told her, getting up and moving closer to him, bringing her chair with her then got settled again, “I can call his mother once I’ve spoken to his doctor.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max saw him fumbling for her hand and gently took his in hers. She gave him a saddened smile and wiped her eyes before pressing the call button to let them check him over.

The nurse gave a nod and smiled softly at her "Give me just a few minutes to get him." She explained before leaving the room and them to privacy.

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and thanked her, just taking aemonds hand and watching him carefully. She had never thought in the beginning that she could ever love him. Especially not after Joseph but now she was in a better place than ever before.

He frowned and just gave it a couple quick squeezes before falling asleep again, his nurse popping in and giving her a sympathetic smile “did he wake up for a bit?” She asked her, doing the checks and sighed “they should have the MRI results ready for you shortly.” She explained.

 

[Forever6A7X]

The doctor came in about ten minutes later and gave a small smile to Carmen "Sorry for the wait, had to get unscrubbed and fill out some paperwork." He said gently to her before sitting down with her "Surgery went as smooth as we could have hoped for. They're runninf tests on the mass to see if it was cancerous or not, by my eye though it looked to be a build up of scar tissue from his wreck though. We should have those results within a few hours." He explained

Max gave her a small nod and sighed heavily "Yeah he woke up briefly." She said before giving her a small thank you as she left.
