Realistic or Modern Turning Up the Heat

[decadent-rider]

She whimpered a little and burst into tears again, "Please, just leave me alone." She muttered. She didn't do well with these people on a good day but she was awful at taking comfort from them on her bad ones and right now would be considered a very bad day indeed. She waited quietly until she was allowed back into the room going and sitting next to his bed seeing they'd intubated him again and he looked so much worse, just taking his hand and placing it against her cheek.

Clayton looked up at her and frowned, "More? Oh for crying out loud I don't want more." He grumbled, laying back compliantly now, "Can you lay with me?" He asked her quietly, reaching for her hand carefully.

Max gave a small nod and took his hand cuddling into him as she lay with him "I love you babe." She whispered stroking his cheek gently

His mother came in and sighed heavily letting a tear fall as she saw her son "They called and told me what happened." She whispered sitting on the opposite side holding his other hand

 

[decadent-rider]

She just nodded and frowned. “He’s just gone into cardiac arrest.” She mumbled tiredly and watched him carefully

Clayton smiled at her some. “I love you too... what did Jeff want? I remember him coming in here and then I think I passed out.” He mumbled tiredly, sitting up a little and holding her close to him.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max shook her head some "Nothing for you to stress over, I handled it." She whispered stroking his hair back some. She knew if she told him what Jeff he would worry and become angry and she didn't need him to have any more on his plate

His mother gave a small nod and pressed his hand to her face pulling out her rosary and wrapping it between their two hands

 

[decadent-rider]

She left to get something to drink and to give them privacy, frowning when she bumped into a guy outside the room who looked furious and was staring at JD. “Can I help you?” She asked feeling a little protective over him right now, hearing him mumbled something about not his daughter “I’m sorry ... i ... I can’t hear you.” She told him.

He just nodded and watched her some more until they came to get him for the MRI. “Can you bring Jax here?” He asked as it would be time for her to go get him now.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod biting her lip "I'll try, I love you." She whispered before they took him through and she went to get Jax from school.

Carson growled and looked at the woman with pure hatred in his eyes "That should be my daughter in that goddamn room surviving right now! Not that piece of shit!" He spat before storming off

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and went to get food then came back and sat down next to his bed again, “I uh... Carla I need to go see my dogs and feed them and whatnot. I will be back soon as possible but I need to make sure they’re okay.” She told her quietly and thanked her when she assured he she would let him know if he woke up before she returned.

Jax ran up to her when she got there smiling big at her and reaching to be picked up. “Momma!” He screeched happily.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled widely seeing her son in a good and affectionate mood today. She always cherished it when he was like this "Hey baby boy!!" She said happily picking him up and hugging him close "You have a good day?" She asked smiling as he nodded and pointed at the car "Alright we are headed to the car."

Carla gave a small nod and sighed heavily as she prayed for her son.

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled and held onto her tightly resting his head on her shoulder. “Is daddy back home?” He asked her. “I wanna see daddy.” He told her while he waved bye to his teacher.

Carmen got back to his place and started getting the dogs sorted so they would be okay on their own again in a few hours but frowned when she saw they’d gotten into his laundry and she went to put w couple loads on, on autopilot with worry until she came across two lingerie sets that were 100% not hers just tensing up and biting her lip trying not to think the worst. She would at the very least keep quiet about it until he was okay.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled wide hearing him being this worried about Clayton "No buddy he is at the hospital remember that place? Where they help you get better?" She asked softly as she buckled him up "We have to see him there."

JD woke up late that night grunting at the tube down his throat but he was too weak to try and tug it out.

 

[decadent-rider]

His Mom frowned some and and gently took his hand again, "Jorge it's alright sweetheart, it's okay." She coaxed gently, stroking his cheek, "Your heart stopped mijo, you're worse off than they originally thought." She explained seeing him looking at where Carmen had been, "She went home to your house sweetheart, she needed to spend a night with the dogs but she'll be here in the morning, you found an amazing woman, she's staying here til you can go home, she said she's gonna get your place tidied up today so that when you go home everything is ready, she got all your laundry done already." She smiled at him a little.

Jax nodded, "Okay... But only for a little then we go home." He told her. He didn't like being there, it was just all sensory overload for him a lot of the time and it freaked him out. He played with his toy trucks on the way to the hospital, in a good mood and a little talkative today, moreso than normal at least.

Clayton had just finished eating when they walked in and he smiled holding his arms out for Jax, helping him climb onto the bed, cuddling him close, "Hey bud, how was school?"

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled softly and snapped a photo when Jaxon wasn't looking while he talked with Clayton telling him how he had a good day and that he had mac and cheese for lunch "That sounds like such a great day baby." She murmured running his fingers through his brown locks. He looked so much like Jeffrey sometimes and then sometimes he looked a lot like her.

JD nodded some and looked over at his mom giving a small thumbs up before he closed his eyes and relaxed giving her hand a squeeze. He was still away but he wanted her to know that she could still talk even with his eyes closed.

 

[decadent-rider]

"Get some rest, you need as much as possible." She told him quietly and rubbed his hand before leaning back in the chair and pulling her book out she'd bought at the gift shop downstairs. "Your Dad is gonna come see you tomorrow afternoon, get some sleep." She assured him the left him to it, staying quiet in the room.

Clayton smiled some watching him, "I think that sounds like the best day, hey how about when I come home tomorrow we measure ou again, see how tall you're getting." He suggested as he started getting fidgety and wanting to go home, "I'll callyou in a bit." He told Max smiling needing to let her know what the verdict had been but not wanting them to have to deal with a full meltdown there

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max picked up Jaxon and nodded softly "Sounds good babe I love you." She murmured kissing him gently before she got Jaxon to the car "Don't worry sweetie, we'll get home and have your favorite chicken nuggets then have a bath and if you're good we can watch an episode of whatever show you want." She said happily trying to keep him in a good mood.

JD grunted in response and soon fell asleep again next to her.

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen got there mid morning the next day and went to sit with him again, frowning as she passed the same guy from yesterday out in the hallway by the cafeteria, but she ignored it and went to see that he was awake and they had taken the ventilator out finally, "Hey handsome, how you feeling?" She asked him quietly, "Looks like the some of them have started drying up finally." She murmured, tsking his hand in hers then dropped it when she remembered the lingerie she found last night.

Jax nodded and sat in his car seat going quiet again and just staring out the window, starting to scratch at his head a bit, repeating until they got home so by the time they were there he'd scratched a little bit of his scalp raw but he didn't say anything, just reached out to be picked up and held onto her super tight.

 

[Forever6A7X]

JD nodded some and gave her a soft smile "Hey gorgeous, mom said you did my laundry thank you." He whispered completely forgetting that the new set he had gotten her were in there so that he could wash them and give them to her without them being all hard and itchy.

Max got him home and frowned seeing the raw spot on his head holding him close to her "Jaxon baby what have I told you about scratching?" She asked softly kissing the raw spot gently

 

[decadent-rider]

He grumbled a little bit held onto her tightly and rest his head on her shoulder. “Mommy I want doggy.” He told her with a big yawn.

Carmen just nodded and watched him. “You need to get more on top of that.” She teased gently then took his hand again and sighed quietly just watching him and worrying. “I’m staying here for a couple weeks now.... and I’m starting to wonder if maybe moving here would be a better idea.” She mumbled.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max nodded softly knowing he most likely could never handle having a dog around 24/7 unless it was a service one. She had thought about it before but the amount was too much for them to spare at the moment. She got him up the next morning and sighed softly thankful he hadn't had an accident that night "Goodmorning baby boy."

JD chuckled softly but frowned softly "Babe, if you don't have to." He murmured pulling her hand to his lips kissing her knuckles

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned shaking her head. “I don’t like being five hours away from you J. And I really don’t like it when there’s an emergency like this one. We’ve put up with long distance for long enough.” She muttered and watched him some.

Clayton was just waking up when he heard a knock on his door and looked over, frowning at Jeff being there and trying to reach for the nurses button but quickly Jeff stepped over and took it away. “What do you want Jeff?” He muttered. “You’re not supposed to be here.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max walked down the hall trying to calm herself thinking about Jaxon's melt down he had about going to school today. She nearly kept him but she knew he wouldnt be good in the hospital. She went into the room glaring at Jeff as she saw him "What the fuck are you doing here?" She growled

JD nodded some and kissed her hand again "Then when I'm better I'll get transfered back, that way you can be with Josh still." He murmured softly

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned watching him some seeing how he was breathing and just shook her head. “We’ll talk when we get you home okay?” She murmured watching him carefully and gripped his hand. “J there’s a guy here who keeps coming by your room.... he seems real angry and I need to know if I should be worried and get someone keeping him away from here.” She mumbled.

Clayton frowned watching them. “He was trying to get me to agree to persuading you to give him time with Jax.” He muttered feeling a little worse for wear that morning.

 

[Forever6A7X]

JD frowned more and held her close to him "I would say something....I dont...I dont know who he is." He whispered not knowing that the little girl he had tried to save didnt make it.

Max frowned and started to grow angrier by the minute "I swear I'm going to hurt him." She growled shaking her head

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned wat hing him a little and nodded. “They’re taking the dressing off today and they gotta leave it open for you to heal better alright. Keep your hands off.” She reminded him, kissing his head and curling up in the chair again just watching him carefully.

Clayton frowned as he watched Jeff leave, sitting up some and reaching for her. “Hey, they’re running a couple more tests today. They’re not entirely sure why I’m getting these.” He mumbled.

 

[Forever6A7X]

JD nodded some and looked over at her "I wish you could lay with me." He murmured frowning as the pain meds strarted to wear off "Babe....shit....pain meds...please." he whispered shutting his eyes tightly

Max frowned and held onto him as she sat in bed with him "The MRI didn't tell them anything?" She asked while she cupped his face sighing heavily

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned and rubbed his knuckles, worrying about him and trying to get him more painkillers but the button wouldn’t press cause he’d had his fill of them for the day already. “I can’t sweetheart I’m sorry.” She murmured.

He shook his head. “No but they’re gonna try do another one and they’re taking a couple blood tests.” He mumbled, pressing his forehead to hers.
