Duo Enim Unus (7:16 AM)
alaizalmelmichellson:
Lai could feel the bile she was trying to bite back rise all the way to her throat as she swallowed nervously. On accident she swallowed her gum, sputtering for a moment before shaking her head and collecting herself. “Fuck,” she mumbled as she rubbed at her throat. “Shit, baby I am…I really am sorry…” she whimpered into his neck, after settling back into the crook of it....

Duo Enim Unus (7:16 AM)
alaizalmelmichellson:
Lai took the gum and popped two sticks into her mouth, already feeling the need for her cigarettes. No, no cigs Lai, Big Red…evertime you’re nervous, just…Big Red, she calmly chanted to herself as she chewed, twiddling her thumbs. Part of Lai wanted to shimmy onto his lap, and just snuggle him while she cried. She was so worried, so fucking worried, and to hear him say it...

alaizalmelmichellson:
Lai let out a sigh that sounded more like a hiss as she glared at the OBGYN. Dr. Meredith though just smiled at the pair, obviously used to odd reactions. “I have been doing this for thirty years, I know twins when I see them, look.” she stated sweetly, pointing to the little blips on the screen. “There are two distinct fetuses here, they’re further apart, so I am guessing...

alaizalmelmichellson:
Lai felt nauseous as the OBGYN turned on the machine and told Lai simply to breathe, but even that was hard as Lai squeezed Lyle’s hand a little tighter. She felt too young to be doing this, way too young to be pregnant, but it happened, and now she had to face the music. A squeak erupted from her as Dr. Meredith slid the wand in, Lai wincing at the clod metal that invaded...

alaizalmelmichellson:
Lai poked at her new phone, making little faces at it as her and Evan babbled about random things, especially her visit to the oncology ward. Icy eyes trained on the iPhone screen as she gnawed on her chapped lip. Propped up against pillows, Lai sat on the bed, sans sheets, in a little jean shorts, black, loose teeshirt, and white socks that Liam had picked up on his way...

Duo Enim Unus (7:16 AM)
He felt like he hadn’t slept in days. It took a second to realize that in reality he really hadn’t slept in a few days. He’d spent a majority of the night talking to his brother in law, and when Liam vanished into Evan’s old room Lyle sat out on the fire escape until it was time for him to come to the hospital. His eyes felt like they were gritty and on fire. Shoulders...

Can’t sleep so I guess it’s late night book shopping for me.

Lyle's Logs (6/30/12)
[[MORE]]God…I thought it would be enough to see Alaizabel up and happy. I thought that would fix what I see every time I close my eyes. It didn’t. It eased every other problem, but not the horrifying shit I see in my nightmares. I knew there was a reason I was happy not dreaming. This is so fucked up. I spent such a long time talking to shrinks after that whole suicide thing. Which...

CONNECTED WITH LIAM:
Mental trauma huh…? Sounds like I need a padded room when you lay it out like that. But yeah man, as long as you don’t mind the fact that the fridge is empty and there is an odd amount of Jack bottles in the garbage can. And if you could give me that therapists number that’d be great.

CONNECTED TO LYLE:
-silence then a small cough- Well, when I see all of it, I usually know there are ways to fix it. But I am a doctor, so I was introduced to all of it slowly, all the possible scenarios. For you, I honestly would suggest a therapist…I know I nice woman, really sweet lass, who deals with trauma victims. If you want I can come over though, keep you company...

Oh wow…I am so sorry to hear that Lyle, really I am. -sighs- But yeah, what do you need?

CONNECTED WITH LIAM:
Uh…hey. It’s late I am aware, but my sister’s said that you lead odd hours so I was hoping that there was an off chance that you were awake.
CONNECTED WITH LYLE:
Oh hey, yeah, no I am awake. -coughs- I don’t think I’ll be sleeping much until Evan is home, but what’s up Lyle? Something the matter?
CONNECTED WITH LIAM:
Yeah…-clears...

Aftermath(10:18 PM)
Warning~! Violent dreams and vomit aren’t okay.[[MORE]]His stomach ached, as did his knees. That wasn’t a feeling he’d had since college. Slipping down to lay on the floor, cool linoleum soothing fevered skin. It was easy enough to fall asleep on his own, much easier then he thought it would be. Then again he’d gotten a grand total of two hours of sleep over the past two...
Sleeping in my own bed for the first time in what feels like six years. Even if there should be a wife next to me.

I came home to a woman named Holly who looks like Ke$ha and accused me of robbing my own home.

Nimis Cito (1:01 PM)
alaizalmelmichellson:
Lai shuffled in bed as best she could and looked at him with big, wide eyes. “I would like a kiss first…then some water,” she smiled, happy to know how dedicated he was to her. Lai giggled softly, knowing damn well she’d do the same though if he was hurt and in the hospital. Someone would have to pry her away from her husband, and even then they’d fail, or have a foot up...

alaizalmelmichellson:
Lai smiled softly, placing a hand over his on her stomach. “Well, maybe I am not as shocked…to hear I was in a coma for that reason then,” she muttered, still getting used to her own voice. She didn’t care about the blood really, if it was true about the whole day she was gone, Lyle really needed to wash up. But she didn’t want him to go, she wanted him to crawl into bed...

Nimis Cito (1:01 PM)
alaizalmelmichellson:
Lai stopped poking her mouth with her tongue, eyes getting a little wider than they already were. The words didn’t sounds right together, at all, especially with her still reeling over the fact that she was in a hospital bed, for what she was guessing was a while by the sight and smell of him. Pregnant. brows furrowed at first, concentrating, focusing. Then giggles,...

alaizalmelmichellson:
Lai didn’t like the feeling of the too lumpy pillows. But Lyle had blood on his hands, and part of her didn’t want to argue with a man with blood on his hands. Blinking slowly, silvery blue eyes focused on her husband. He smelled, and her nose scruntched. She felt like a little girl using her body for the first time. Wiggling her fingers, and toes. Lai could feel her ring,...

alaizalmelmichellson:
Everything felt heavy, and whatever she was laying on hurt. Was it the floor? She couldn’t recall. Something scratched at her….legs, yeah legs as she tried to move. they were to heavy. She wanted to scratch at the itching, but couldn’t. Lai tried to mentally check her body parts. Legs were there, heavy but there, arms, hands and fingers, her torso…her torso had just been...

Nimis Cito (1:01 PM)
Why couldn’t it just be enough that his sister was awake and healthy? Because his wife way laying in front of him in a coma attached to tube after tube with a fetus in her stomach. Since Evan had woken up Lyle had moved his chair to sit right beside Alaizabel’s bed. His fingers idly played with the too-starched bed sheets. Everyone else had gone to get lunch, Roy with a kiss to his...
[[MORE]]Tomorrow. I’m gonna get her back tomorrow. And she’s gonna smile and call me a Bunny and it’s going to be al-fucking-right.

livskye replied to your post: Evan is stable, looks awful but is a smart…
I’m glad. I’m sorry this happened, Lyle.
Aren’t we all.
[[MORE]]Evan is stable, looks awful but is a smart ass so that’s a good sign. If only that was enough.

News of Sorts (12:50 a.m)
thaniellaimjoseph:
Liam felt a huge weight lift off his shoulders as Lyle questioned his child health. The words came quicker now, steadier. “I am almost ninety percent sure the child if fine. Her body’s been building up hormones, and when she was stabbed her body automatically went in to protect the fetus.” he said calmly, ocean eyes growing weary. This entire night had drained him more than...

He didn’t want to do it, he didn’t want to say it. Lyle deserved to know but the words form on his lips burned away from fear and utter nerves. He would have happily given the news some other time, maybe during a check up. Or maybe, he would’ve been on the receiving end if they took a test within the next week. He jst didn’t feel like this was the way to tell him, not when he...

He didn’t know how to start it. Congratulations? You’re a father? Your wife’s been stabbed and the reason she’s in an induced comma is because you and her are expecting…None of this felt right as he took a deep breathe. “I’ve cleared everyone to stay, seeing as you’re her husband, and the trauma of it all has effected you greatly, I said Jean and Kitty were your moral...

His hands shook as Liam breathed slowly, exiting the office and operating room. Trying to smooth his hair down flat, ocean eyes scanned the paper again. Pregnant. He didn’t want to have to tell him this news, not after what happened…Walking into the OR waiting room, which was deserted save for three people. Liam cleared his throat. “I have good news,” he started, shoving his...

Lyle's Logs (6/28/12)
[[MORE]]I can’t lose her, I just fucking can’t. I can’t lose another person. I don’t want to make assumptions about who did this, but…no that’s not what matters right now. Nothing fucking matters right now. If…if she goes so do I. I can’t fucking go through this with another person I love. Not ever again.

Round Two; Part Three (12:10 AM)
He was a heavy sleeper usually, the list of things that could wake Lyle up in seconds ranged from blow jobs to Alaizabel leaving to do something in the middle of the night. Sadly enough this time it just so happened to be Alaizabel leaving in the middle of the night. Snuffling quietly to himself the man rolled over into the warm spot on the bed left by his wife. She was probably just going to the...
