McKensie and Lara III
Lacey shook her head "I can't be...it was so quick, what if I am...if have to have the baby cut out of me because I'm so small...that's what the doctor said..." She sat back down and hugged her stomach "I can't do this..."Lydia squeezed his hand "come on you...I need you to pick out your bow tie..." She kissed his cheek and nuzzled it "oh baby is moving!" She said putting his hand on her stomach "feel it?"
Iliana smiled softly, shaking her head. But she sat down by her friend, squeezing her hand. "Lacey… that's what the surgery was for, to make sure you weren't too small anymore. You'll be fine." She promised, putting an arm around her gently. James sighed, following her. "Alright…." he complained, shrugging. His smile was soft however. His eyes immediately widened at her comment, and he bent, placing his hands on her stomach. "Baby… that's amazing!" He said, feeling the little life move around slightly. "That's our child!"
Lacey shook her head and sighed "the doctor told me its a wide enough cut for Maxwell but not for pushing out a baby...I'm still too small, Illi...I don't know what to do..."Lydia smiled and nodded running her fingers through his hair "not just one little cell anymore...it's a little person..." She gasped seeing a mirror in the hall and seeing that she was noticible now "oh my gosh we need the wedding now!"
Iliana sighed softly and shrugged. "Then you'll get a c-section, and that'll be a much shorter labour than most women have to go through." She said, smiling for her. "Don't worry, ok?"James smiled softly, loving their baby already. He kissed her stomach and pressed his face against it, hugging her. "I love you both." he whispered. "I love you both so much." He smiled at them in the mirror and shook his head. "It's only in three days, remember? You won't get much bigger by then…"
Lacey swallowed and nodded "ok...ok, I'm sure I'll be fine...I just can't imagine being awake and having the baby cut out of me..." Shd sighed shaking her head "I'm not pregnant...I'll just miscarriage it somehow..."Lydia swallowed and nodded "your right...your right..." She ran her hand over the bump and sighed "I'm going to be a mom...everyone will know every detail of my pregnancy...and I have to do it on the Royal birthing chair which I was born on..."
Iliana shook her head. "Of course not! They put you to sleep Lacey! My goodness… if they did it awake… that would be scary." She said honestly. Then she paled. "Oh no… Lacey, you mustn't. Please don't do that!" She cried. James hugged her gently, running a hand through her bangs as he tucked them behind one ear. "You'll be queen. You don't have to do any of that if you don't want to. You'll rule England, literally. Anything you say goes." He said, kissing her gently. "And even if you uphold tradition, I'm sure, since you're such a strong woman, that you'll do beautifully."
Lacey sighef and shook her head "I just wanted to have the kids normally...i wanted the perfect family with Maxwell...you could probably have kids just fine...and you don't even want them."Lydia sighed "I have to...my mom already showed it to me...I won't force my daughter to do it...that will end it..." She kissed his head "Mmm I love you so much...come on up I need to lean on you...feel a little lightheaded."
Iliana looked down at her feet, feeling like she should feel badly for all this. She was perfectly happy, and she could be having kids, so didn't that mean she should be? "But if you can't have kids normally, then at least having them differently is better than not having them at all, right?" She asked softly. James nodded slowly, standing again. "Whatever you wish baby." he whispered, smiling down into her eyes. He kissed her quickly, and then scooped her up into his arms, carrying her to the nearest sofa where he let her rest.
Lacey shook her head "no...I don't want anymore surgeries and scars Illiana..." She started to walk back up the stairs and slipped on an ice cube as she came tumbling back down. She gasped in pain not being able to get up "Illi call Max please..."Lydia smiled and snuggled close "it's ridiculous how tired I get, I'm like a fragile lilly not tough sarcastic Lydia...I don't like it, I just want to work and cook and not be laying in bed all day."
Iliana was about to ask what she valued more, less scars, or more children, when Lacey suddenly slipped and tumbled down the steps. Iliana immediately ran up, calling for Maxwell. "Lady Lacey fell down some steps!"James laughed then. "You are not fragile. You are strong, and working all the time. You need a break! And a baby might be a good way to give that to you." He teased, kissing her. "I insist you rest more, you need your energy and strength."
Lacey felt the blood and cringed feeling the pain from the cramps and winced tears streaming down her face "I wasn't serious...I was just upset...oh gosh it hurts!" She gasped rubbing her pelvis "Max!"Lydia smiled and sighed kissing him lovingly "thank you for not saying I'm fragile...I will rest and revive myself but I still have wedding planning...I need the flowers and the bridesmaids..."
Maxwell came running down the steps and scooped her into his arms, his eyes wide. There was blood. Where was it coming from!? "Lacey!? What happened? What's hurt? Is anything broken? Are you alright!?" He asked, panicked. James smiled softly, kissing her back. "I shall get both for you, and you are going to bed this instant." He said, carrying her up to their room/rooms and lay her on her bed. "And once I am happy that you have gotten enough rest, then you shall see what flowers I have picked, and I'll have your bridesmaids come see you."
Lacey shook her head sobbing, she was bleedibg a lot, more then a usual miscarriage she ruptured something and leaned into his chest "I need my usual doctor Max...I lost the baby, and I think something is very wrong..."Lydia smiled and squeezed his hand "just Emma please...and you picked the flowers? Well what did you pick? I need to know it'll match my bouquet and you don't know it."
Max nodded, panicked, and rang up the doctor who came rushing in. "Baby… What baby!?" He said, stressed beyond belief. Had a baby he didn't even know he had died? What was wrong with his love? The doctor came in and got Lacey on a bed, examining what was wrong. James nodded, "On it." He promised, ringing for Emma to come up stairs. Then he shrugged. "Roses, because I figured those are a staple. But I wanted the white roses. And a couple of those white kind that have the edges of the petals a soft pink. Oh, and forget me nots. Is that alright? I can send them back if they don't work."
Lacey sighed wincing as more blood came out, she shook her head "I was so upset about having the baby c-section but now I can't have one at all..." She shook her head wishing she could just turn back time. Lydia gasped and started to cry "that's exactly what I wanted James? How did you even know? What about light yellow roses? For the flower girls..."
Maxwell was crying as he held her, so broken that his baby died, that his girl was bleeding, that everything seemed to be coming apart. "I'm sorry baby girl… I should have been there… I should have been there…" He murmured as the doctor found what was wrong and quickly fixed the issue, wiping up the remaining blood. James smiled softly, kissing her head. "Maybe we're more alike than you know." He whispered, putting his arm around her shoulders and hugging her. "Light yellow roses would definitely make the flower girls look adorable." he agreed. "I think the kingdom will love our wedding."
The nurse frowned helping her "honey...I wouldn't recommend you trying to have a baby again...you ruptured your uterus...but we have come up with a brand new incredible way to put your baby in some else's body."Lydia kissed him lovingly "I love our wedding...and that's what matters it's just me and you right now...I love you so much. We work perfect together..."
Maxwell backed off as the nurse started talking to Lacey. All he heard was, don't have a baby again. And, ruptured uterus, and putting a baby in some one else's body. He just sat in a chair and cried quietly about his lost baby, and his hurt fiancé. James nodded, leaning back against the headboard. "I agree." he said, kissing her cheek. "We most definitely work well together. It's why I proposed to you." he teased, smiling.
Lacey took him into her arms and held him "hey it's ok...I'm ok...Max, please don't cry baby...I love you...maybe we'll try this new experimentation...we could ask Laila or a maid...I want a baby Max..."Lydia laughed "oh that's why? I thought it was because I made you smile more then anything rlse...I mean you were dull before I came into your life!" She teased and kissed him.
Maxwell held onto her and cried. He never cried. Ever. "You… You… blood… baby…." He mumbled incoherently, stressed. Iliana was there, and she watched them mourn with a sorrowful look on her face. She didn't want to have kids. She didn't want to have kids at all. But she felt so guilty… her friends being this way, when she was perfectly healthy…
James smirked and shook his head. "Yeah that too." he agreed. Then he laughed. "Oh was I?" he said. "Touche." he kissed her back, and then gently tucked her under the blankets. "But I was serious about resting." he said sternly. "go to sleep for a bit, ok?" he said, kissing her forehead.
Lacey held him and cried too, she laced her fingers in his hair and sobbed shaking her head "baby...it'll be ok...it was my fault, I should have just been grateful..."Marcoux pulled Illiana away and sighed "you don't have to say yes if they ask...you have no obligation to do this..." He reminded not wanting her part of some wacky experiment.
Lydia sifhed and nodded nestling in the pillow and closing her eyes falling asleep instantly.
Maxwell shook his head, kissing her face. "It wasn't your fault. Not your fault, Lacey. Not yours." he mumbled, hardly coping with all of this. He had just lost a child, and been told that the only way to have another one would be by using another woman. Illiana bit her lip, shaking her head. "But I have to. I was there. I could have stopped her from helping. She said a million times how scared she was about having a kid after the surgery, and how lucky I was to be healthy. I would die of guilt if I said no." She said, covering her face with her hands.
Marcoux hugged her tightly "but you don't want a baby...it wouldn't be yours Illi, you'd give it to them...how would you be able to do that?..." He was so worried about her "let's just discuss it with them...no one saying yes yet ok?"Lacey saw them come back in "Illi I can't ask this of you...I'll find a willing msid or something...I can't ask you to have something of mine that you don't want."
Iliana swallowed. "No. I don't want a baby." She agreed. "But I do love my friend, and I feel incredibly guilty for all of this." She admitted, looking up at Lacey. "Lacey… I… I'm sorry about your baby. And I…" Tears sprung into her eyes. "I'm sorry."Maxwell bit his lip. Part of him hated that this all was happening, hated the helpless guilty look on Iliana's face. And part of him… well wanted to the depths of him for Iliana to offer to bear their child.
Lacey hugged her tight and sobbed "I'm so sorry Illi...but will you do this for me? Please...I'm never going to have a baby otherwise...and I can't do that...I mean I can adopt but...it's not the same..."Marcoux sighed pulling Maxwell in the hall "how does this work? I mean...this isn't a simple thing...you will be putting a baby in Illi...I don't understand how that works..." He started to pace "we only want the foxes..."
Iliana felt that overwhelming guilt again and she swallowed, nodding as she hugged her sobbing friend. "Y-yes." she said, choking on the word because she was crying too. "Yes I will." she whispered. Maxwell's forehead was creased with concern as well. "From what I heard, we just transfer the two cells into her, not even a baby yet. If it grows, it worked, if not… then you try again. Its just like having a regular baby, just the cells didn't come from you, or your partner." he explained. "I know you guys didn't want kids… and I'm really sorry for pushing this on Iliana. You certainly won't keep the kid… it's just nine months."
Lacey sobbed and hugged her tightly "I love you Illi...thank you so much...thank you for being my sister...my best friend..." She looked at the dictor "how do we start?"Marcoux sighed and swallowed nodding and pat his back "alright...I'll help her through it...I'm sorry for your loss...and I'm still pretty uncomfortable about it...but Illi wants to help."
Iliana nodded, hugging her back. "You're welcome." She whispered, not looking at the doctor, because honestly, she was terrified. The doctor was setting up her instruments, and she smiled. "We just need an egg from you, and a cell from the father, and we'll put them both inside your friend." she explained. So if you and the father could come back here," She motioned to the adjoining room. "I'll collect those.
Maxwell nodded. "Again, I'm sorry man, and thank you so much." he said, jogging in after the doctor into the other room.
Iliana was trembling like a leaf now. Insert? Cells? Right. Cells that were going to grow into a baby in her stomach, ballooning her out and then tearing her apart as they left. Lovely. But she had to help Lacey… she wanted to help her friend.
Marcoyx went to sit by Illiana he took her shaking hand and kissed it "you are the most incredible woman in the world...you are so selfless and loving, I'm proud of you and I'm here for you all the way ok?..."Lacey smiled and took Maxwell's hand smiling at him "this will work...maybe I should light some candles...set the mood?" She teased and leaned on his shoulder feeling hope over the pain of losing her baby.
Iliana immediately hugged him, not able to hide that she was trembling like a leaf anymore. "thank you." was all she managed to whisper as she clung to him for strength and support. Maxwell laughed softly, shaking his head as he undressed and sat on the bed beside her. "You're hilarious." he joked. "I do feel horrible for Ili though. Having to do this." he said, as the doctor went to Lacey and collected what she needed. It was more embarrassing to get the cell from Maxwell, but he distracted himself by talking to Lacey, and focusing on her. And then the doctor said she was done, and carried a little baggy back into the other room.
Marcoux hugged her tightly and kissed her deeply as the doctor came in with the tube and sighed looking at the doctor "how is it going to work...I need to know everything..." He said taking her hand starting to get anxious again "I have panic attacks..." He said honestly and sighed trying to fight it.Lacey sighed looking at Maxwell and pecking his cheek "I know...I feel sick with guilt, but I need a baby...i can't stand that I can't have one...but now in a few minutes hopefully it will start..."
The doctor nodded as she shifted Iliana's position and got set up. Iliana looked to him, worried, and squeezed his hand. She needed him to be strong for her right now, because she couldn't be strong for him. The doctor explained while she set up and did it. "We just insert the cells into her uterus." She said simply. "And from there on, it's just a normal pregnancy, she said, slipping the tube into Iliana who winced and tucked her face against Marc.
Maxwell smiled, hugging her. "I know." He whispered. "I know, baby." He kissed her temple and looked down at her. "We'll still have a family. We'll have a beautiful little family."
Marcoux held her close and sighed feeling like he was hyperventilating, he kissed her gently and sighed "all over..." He whispered over and over and just hugged her tightly his body trembling trying to seize but he wouldn't let it. He kissed her hair "you ok?"Lacey nodded and held him close "maybe we can adopt afterwards? I just want a big family and I'm not forcing Illiana to do this again...it isn't fair to her..." She got dressed and helped him "what a night...how was the palace?"
Iliana closed her eyes and just breathed until it was over and then she immediately curled up in his arms, clinging to him. "I'm fine." She whispered, keeping her face tucked tight against him, so that he wouldn't see her tears as they fell. Maxwell nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea." He said. "We can adopt lots of kids who need homes and have a big family like we wanted." he promised. "But having one kid that is actually ours will be nice." He got up, dressing. "The palace was fun. Marc had his foxes running around, and the queen had a little fit, if I may say so. And James and Lydia both seemed a little overwhelmed…"
Marcoux started to seize and just held onto get, he buried his face in her hair trying to breathe through it. He wished he could be stronger for her but this all was too much.Lacey laughed lightly "oh that would be funny...poor foxes they just wanted to play...and I bet they are overwhelmed their wedding is in three days...and it is much more elaborate then ours.."
Iliana gasped when she felt his body tense and start to seize. She wrappedher arms around him, kissing his face gently as the tears continued to fall. How had this all gone so wrong so suddenly? It was shocking, and Iliana felt alone. "I'm sorry Marcoux, I'm sorry for causing this." She whispered.Maxwell nodded, laughing with her. "It was. Marcoux looked horrified, and so did the queen." He chuckled. "An three days is incredibly close. I have no idea how they do it." He said honestly. "I'm very glad we have more time to plan ours."
He finally managed to calm down and just lay by her holding her close to him, he sighed deeply and pressed his lips to her "you didn't...I'm still here for you, I promise...it's a hard day for all of us...I just wish I could make you feel better...that's what the fiancé is supposed to do..."Lacey smiled and nuzzled him "sweet little animals...never been much of an animal lover but they are well behaved...Illi said they are going to be the ring bearers..."
Iliana could feel the relief washing over her when he stopped seizing and she crumpled into his arms, holding onto him. "Just being here is doing everything for me." She said softly, not able to stop trembling. She was pregnant... With her friends baby.... This was a nightmare.Maxwell nodded. "They are quite cute." He agreed, "even though they are foxes, they're quite cute." He kissed her cheek, standing. "And they'll make cute ring bearers too. Speaking of ili, we should go check on her..."
Marcoyx heard whimpering and slowly sat up seeing the twins at the doorway looking at him with their big dark eyes "look who was worried?" He smiled picking up the kits and laying them on Illi "just focus on them..."Lacey sighed and nodded "yes...but I feel so guilty Max, it was obvious she didn't want this...but I was just so hopeful...am I a horrible person? I don't want her to hate me...but I need a baby..."
Iliana bit her lip, and then smiled as he picked up the twins and put them on the bed. She gathered them into her arms and pet them both, letting their little dark eyes and cute personalities calm her and help her forget. "Hi babies..." She whispered. "I love you." She whispered.Maxwell nodded in understanding and sighed softly. "I know baby, I feel bad too," he said honestly. "But I do want this baby as well, you definitely aren't a bad person. Iliana did agree..." He pointed out. "She could have said no."
Marcoux smiled watching them stay relatively calm, they were like dogs when it came to understanding the mood of the room and how to best help. He kissed her temple and sighed lacing his fingers with hers "we are getting married tomorrow..."Lacey sighed and nodded hugging onto him and resting on his shoulder "you're right...I should think positively right? I mean she did agree and of course she'll be upset for a little while but we'll all be there for her..."
Iliana looked up then and nodded, suddenly remembering that. They were getting married! She should be happy! Iliana put on a small smile then, reaching over to squeeze his hand. "Yes we are. And I have a surprise for you tomorrow night." She whispered, kissing his cheek. She hoped he would like it.Maxwell kept his arms draped loosely around her and he nodded. "That's right. Think positive." He agreed. He kissed her cheek. "Iliana agreed, and once this is over, she'll have her normal life back knowing she helped you and we'll have a kid." He whispered, smiling.
Marcoux smiled and nuzzled her cheek "I'm sure I'll love it...I am going to wear a rubber though...we don't need an incidents with the baby." He said thoughtfully and scratched the foxes' belly loving "they got in trouble with the queen today...and tried ice cream cake for the first time."Lacey nodded and smiled holding him close "and next week we will be married...and can start our new lives waitibg for our family to begin..." She smiled and tightened her hold "let's go see Illiana..."
Iliana nodded in understanding, but she was a little saddened by the fact that even their relations with each other would be hindered by this thing in her stomach. "I can't wait." She whispered, none the less. Then she laughed. "Oh no!" She said, petting their heads. "That must have been a sight to see!" Secretly she thought it cute.Maxwell nodded, kissing her hand. "Exactly." He agreed. "Let's go." He walked into the adjoining room with her and looked at Iliana and mMarc on the bed. It didn't go unnoticed that her cheeks were wet from crying. "How are you doing?"
Iliana looked up and the happy moment ended as she remembered again. "I'm alright." She said simply, "I'm doing ok, nothing feels any different yet." She said, talking simply about her health.
Marcoux sighed hating that they came in and reminded her, she was smiling and laughing again till they came in. He stayed with her though but really he wanted to give Max a piece of his mind!Lacey nodded and swallowed "probably won't for some time..." She had obviously been crying and Marcoux looked angry and she had never seen that side of him "would you prefer if we just let you guys be?"
Iliana looked down, chewing on her lip. That's right. In just a little bit she would be blown up like a balloon, with a child that wasn't hers, that she didn't want... She folded her hands over her stomach, feeling lightheaded. "That might be better." She responded, not looking at Lacey. "I'm sorry."Maxwell was surprised by the anger on his friend's face. They had always been close and he certainly never expected to see that kind of anger directed towards him. He swallowed, looking down. "We just wanted to make sure you were ok. Thank you for doing this." He said, then he wrapped his arm around Lacey and walked out with her.
Lacey started to cry realizing this wasn't going to make them closer it was seperatibg them and causing anguish with their relationship. She sobbed and held onto Maxwell. As they walked to their room.
Maxwell held Lacey close to him for the whole walk back to their room, where he bundled her up in his arms and just let her cry against him. "It'll be alright." he whispered into her hair. "It's going to be alright." He said gently. "She just needs some time to adjust to the idea."
Marcoux sighed and helped Illiana get dressed and kissed her "today I just need to be mad...but after this we have to try and love them still, I mean this is going to bring us closer together...it won't work if we are angry or guilty or any negative emotions." Lacey sighed and nodded "will you try on your tux for me baby...wedding planning will make me happy..."
James nodded in understanding, and clapped him on the back. "Alright then. Send my best wishes to Iliana, and best of luck with the wedding." he said. Then he grimaced. "Yeah, so looking forwards to that."
