Realistic or Modern South Side Rivalry

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith gave a heavy sigh but nodded some. She knew Pedro was doing this for her safety and she appreciated it, but she couldn't take it any longer in that house without him by her side. She heard a car pull up and perked up some rushing to the door once she heard it open. Quickly she engulfed him in her arms not knowing about his injury "Oh my love I've missed you more than you'll ever know." She whispered before she kissed him lovingly

Clayton held her to him smiling softly taking his attention away from his papers for the time being "Hey beautiful, how are you doing?" He asked softly rubbing her back gently before he let a hand absentmindedly rest on her stomach. He had been wanting to try for kids but he knew she wasn't ready and he wasn't going to push for it either

 

[decadent-rider]

He grunted a bit and moved away, keeping her on his good side and kissed her head. “You ready time go home?” He asked quietly, sighing as he watched her unbutton his shirt and stayed still while she looked over the three separate bullet wounds he’d sustained over the few months.

she shrugged and said nothing, taking his hand in hers and gently messing with his fingers. “I’m worried..... Clay I think I might be pregnant.... I think I was ignoring the signs.... but I... what if it’s not yours.” She mumbled shaking a bit

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith nodded softly and smiled for the first time in months but it soon faded when she saw him wince. Quickly she moved to face him and unbuttoned his shirt gasping when she saw how bandaged up her was "José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal! Why didn't you tell me about this?!" She said giving him a small and worried glare

Clayton frowned some but gave a nod kissing her temple gently "If you are I support whatever you want to do. You wanna keep it then we will, you wanna give it up for adoption then we can arrange that." He murmured to her

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned some and shook her head. “I want a baby and I want it to be yours.” She whimpered quietly holding him as tightly as she could, pressing her forehead to his shoulder. “I just want a baby.” She mumbled, getting up to go get him a beer after another minute or so, “I’m going to bed.” She murmured pecking his cheek and wandering upstairs

he frowned at her shaking his head. “You didn’t need to know. I’mfine.” He muttered. “Come on, go pack your things and let’s go home.” He told her quietly, “I’ll explain on the way back.” he muttered

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clayton gave a small nod and sipped his beer "I know baby, I love you." He said softly sighing as she said she would be going to bed "Alright babe....I'll be up as soon as I can." He murmured

Lilith gave a heavy sigh but nodded and left to go get her things. As she came back she found Pedro and Oscar talking in the living room. She sat down next to him and took his hand in hers "Ready." She said softly

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen nodded and stood up, squeezing his shoulder gently before heading up there and getting herself ready, curling up under their covers and waiting for him quietly.

he nodded and with a little help from Oscar stood up, grumbling about getting old before taking her hand and walking her out to the car letting Oscar get her things. “Well... Jon is dead. The whole family is out of the city.” he explained. “It’s safe to be home.... Ben took him out.” He told her quietly. “Unfinished business.” He muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clayton came up not too long later and got in bed with her pulling her in close to his body "I love you beautiful." He whispered before nuzzling his face in her neck

Lilith frowned as she listened to him giving a small nod "My sister, is she okay?" She asked quietly while looking out the window instead of being by his side like she normally would be

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded. “Far as I’m aware. She hasn’t really left her place. Clayton is back on his feet mostly... things are starting to get better.” He assured her then drove in silence, his free hand going to his chest every so often. He knew he should have told her mire but he wanted to keep her safe.

carmen smiled tiredly at him and curled in close, rubbing his chest as she eventually drifted off to sleep.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith frowned softly and looked over at him seeing him hold his chest "Pedro whats wrong?" she asked moving some to sit with him "Pedro please, don't hide stuff from me." she said quietly starting to worry more about him

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and glanced over at her with a pained expression, thinking his next words through very carefully. “The uh... well... two of the bullets... are still in there.” He told her sheepishly as he continued to watch the road.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith looked at him in shock "What?! How did that happen?! Pedro you have to get them out!" She said starting to panic with worry "Pedro what happened?!"

 

[decadent-rider]

“It’s been a mess Lilith. Jon got everybody in his back pocket. Trapped the rest of us from doing anything so we didn’t get taken in to the police.... including not being able to go to the hospital when injured. Jeez clay almost died cause they had to get him out of there before he was ready to be at home.” He mumbled sighing quietly. “But I’m alright. Just worn out.” He muttered. “I’ll take care of it.” He promised, hitting city limits then and took her home. He’d sold the main house now and where they’d been living had become the official residence. Once he pulled up he took her out and went straight upstairs with him to take her to bed.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith listened to him and frowned some giving a small nod "Okay..." she whispered before she got up and went straight up to bed with him curling up close to him "I love you Pedro." She whispered softly to him before she eventually fell asleep

 

[decadent-rider]

He held onto her through most of the night, keeping her in his arms and smiling some when he woke up early, heading downstairs and went to get coffee, sighing heavily when he dropped a spoon, leaning down to pick it up and in that small movement felt the worst pain he ever had, yelling out and dropping to his knees, panting heavily

carmen woke up early and went to take a shower, leaning against the wall and getting lost in her thoughts, jumping out of her skin as she felt arms go round her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith layed in bed peacefully for the first time in a long time thankful to be with him again. She shot up hearing his yell and quickly rushed down to him gasping softly as she saw him on the floor falling to her knees next to him and wrapping her arms around his shoulders "Pedro whats wrong?!"

Clayton got up that morning and groaned softly. He smiled hearing the shower going and got up to join her. He stripped down stepping into the shower with him and wrapped his arms around her "Mmm good morning." He murmured frowning as she jumped "Oh shit...I'm sorry babe, I didn't mean to scare ya."

 

[decadent-rider]

She pushed him away and just glared at him. “In what goddamn universe did that seem like a good idea?!” She yelled at him standing there shaking.

Pedro frowned trying to catch his breath but it didn’t seem to help at all, starting to cough and splutter, drops of blood falling to the floor as he started to slump forward

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clayton frowned some and looked at her with saddened eyes "Sorry, just thought I'd have a shower with you." He muttered before he yanked the curtain back and got out grabbing his towel and leaving the room closing the door loudly on his way

Lilith frowned and rushed to the phone calling 911 asking for an ambulance to come to their place and help them out

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen leaned against the wall and sank down to sit on the floor shaking and sobbing, screaming and burying her face into her hands resting her best to get rid of the memories playing back in her head.

Pedro grunted and looked over at her. “Lilith... cmere.” He grunted “Call Ben.” He muttered shaking a little. “Take you to... the office.” He tried to get out before he passed out on the floor.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith frowned and did as he said but as the paramedics arrived along with Ben she refused to leave his side wanting to make sure he was okay.

Clayton got dressed and sighed heavily sitting downstairs in his study waiting for her to come down so he could go get ready himself

 

[decadent-rider]

She eventually pulled herself out of the shower and into their room again, getting dressed slowly but surely and wandered down to the kitchen getting herself a large glass of wine as she sat at the table frowning as she saw clay come in.

Pedro grunted loud coming in and out of consciousness, staring at her face in case he missed it but he reached over to her hand one last time and gave it a gentle squeeze before he blacked out again and lay there motionless in the back of the ambulance. Ben grabbed her quickly, holding her back while they left with him and kept her pinned “Get in the car I’ll take you there but get in the damn car.” He muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clayton came into the room frowning some as he saw the glass of wine in her hand "Little early for wine don't you think?" He murmured making himself a cup of juice

Lilith frowned and tried to get out of Ben's grasp then finally gave up and got in the car with him "Don't lie to me Ben....how has he been?" She asked softly

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned watching them take off with him. “He’s not been great. Worried about you and worried that he wouldn’t be able to bring you home. I told him to send me to collect you but he insisted. He shouldn’t have been travelling with two bullets stuck in him.” He muttered shaking his head driving down to the hospital and took her inside, going to wait with her.

Carmen frowned some and looked over at him. “Since when do you care at what time I start drinking?” She muttered. “I’m exhausted.” She muttered tiredly “I don’t... I want to be rid of these images in my head and they won’t go away.” She muttered shaking again.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith nodded softly and gave a heavy sigh "This is not good." She whispered going in with him and waited for Pedro to get out "Should they be able to take them out?"

Clayton frowned and went over hugging her to him "Shhh baby its okay I promise. I'm here alright? I love you." He whispered kissing her temple gently

 

[decadent-rider]

Ben frowned looking over at her. “You want me to lie and tell you he’s gonna he just fine? Or tell the truth and say I have no idea and his chances aren’t great.... he’s barely slept. Been at the office either working or trying to get Jon out the picture or worrying about you.” He told her slowly. It was a few hours before someone came out to collect them and let them know he’d made it and was asking for Lilith.

Pedro was propped up in the bed on the ward looking pale as the sheets around him and a thin veil of sweat covering him. “Hey sweetheart... you okay?” He asked her quietlg teaching for her hand shakily.

Carmen shook her head. “I know you do. I know clay but right now that’s not doing much to get this all out of my head. Zack was killed because of me. Tom and Jack were killed because of me and now .... I’m just tired of feeling fucking helpless.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith frowned as she listened to him shaking her head some. As they called his name she quickly made her way to his room. She took his hand in hers and nodded some "I'm fine I promise, you rest for me okay? Don't exert yourself." she murmured stroking some hair out of his face


Clayton shook his head some giving a small sigh "You aren't helpless babe, you're the strongest woman I know. Those men were not killed because of you, they were killed because a sick bastard decided he wanted to fuck with us. Not your fault at all."
