McKensie and Lara
Liv sighed "her and I have the same mission, he's the sweetest kid on earth...I just don't know, a specific gene sequence could start attacking it but I don't know who has that much power..."Ash smiled weakly, she was exhausted and a headache was starting "maybe I could sit in that chair?..."
Zach grinned and nodded "see? You can do this! You want to try it on your own?"
Damon sighed and kissed her forehead "no use worrying about something that hasn't happened..."
Mae felt like he had ripped out her heart, she didn't make him happy...the kids...she nodded and sighed.
Dem frowned a little. "Power?" He repeated, confused. "You're looking for someone powerful enough to heal him?"Jude nodded, helping her over to the chair, where he gently lowered her. "You did great. I usually don't get out of bed that fast." He complimented.
Taylor looked down at the ground moving below her. "I... I could try..." She said nervously, still scared she was going to fall over.
Lexi nodded, sighing softly. "I'm sorry. I try not to." She said softly. "Just with everything that has happened..."
Torch winced, realizing how she may have taken that statement. "I'm just making things worse, aren't I?" He shook his head. "This was what I was talking about." He mumbled. "I'm... I'm going to go upstairs again." He turned, looking rather down cast and headed for the stairs.
Liv nodded "sort of, just their DNA when I combine it with his it could fight off the cancer."Ashlynn smiled "you're pretty active and strong though...do you ever rest?"
Zach smiled "I'm still here to catch you!" He assured, and showed her how to push off with her other foot.
Damon nipped her nose "let's watch a chi k flick, this is the only time ill ever offer this!"
"torch!" She called up but the door to the study slammed she sank to the couch in a pathetic ball of tears.
Dem nodded in understanding. "If you need any of my dna I'd be happy to donate." He offered, not wanting Ashlynn to get hurt through this kids death.Jude sighed softly, "I figure I have to do as much as I can before my time runs out." He said, shrugging.
Taylor giggled and pushed herself slowly forwards, grinning. "Look! I'm doing it!"
Lexi grinned. "Then I suppose I better take you up on that offer." She said, hopping up to grab the cheesiest movie she could find.
Torch huddled in the back of his study, holding his head in his hands. He hated how he always ended up making his family miserable or cry.
Liv nodded "I might take you up on that...it needs to be really powerful though."Ashlynn hugged him tight sniffing "I'm not going to let you..
Zach grinned "look at my hot skater chick!"
Damon sighed and went to make some popcorn.
Mae felt her spirit slowly sink into the metaphorical back closet, it had been threatening to for awhile since Micheal was born now she lost the will and crumbled.
Dem shrugged lightly. "I have no idea how powerful my genes actually are, but my dad and mom are both pretty strong... so I'd assume my DNA is powerful." He said, smiling at her. Jude pulled away from her, holding her at arms length so he could look in her eyes. "Ashlynn... its not something you can change, you have to know that."
Taylor smiled brightly, her cheeks flushing with colour.
Lexi got out the movie and put it in, starting it up. It was the first chickflick they had watched together.
Torch let himself slide to the floor and he just curled up, trying not to cry.
Liv kissed him softly "you are the strongest man I know..."Ashlynn shook her head "I will! I'm not giving up on you...and you shouldn't either."
Zach caught her by the waist and pecked her cheek though he wanted more...
Damon snuggled up close and smiled "you ready?"
Michael was screaming and Mae wouldn't even pick him up from the playpen she just stared into space.
Dem blushed then. "That wasn't really what I meant..." He said, smiling a little. Jude backed up a bit, shaking his head. "Ashlynn... I'm dying. I'm dying ok? And there's nothing anyone can do about it!" His eyes teared up and he ran from her room, his IV wheeling along behind him. Jude rarely cried, not unless he cared.
Taylor squeaked in surprise and then smiled, kissing his lips gently. "You naughty boy." She whispered. "We're in a public place mister." She teased.
Lexi rested her head against his chest and nodded. "Yup. Here it goes." She said, clicking play on the remote.
Torch looked up slowly, hearing the screaming, and he swallowed. He knew he would have to get up sometime. So he stood up slowly and walked out, going to the nursery to pick up Michael. He rocked him, but the boy wouldn't stop crying. He walked downstairs with him. "Mae? I think Michael's hungry..." he said, looking up slowly. "Mae?"
Liv smiled and pecked his lips "still the truth...maybe it is your DNA, who knows? When I'm feeling well enough ill get a sample tested."Zach grinned "so...I'm a big demon in a little tiny body that has needs! We don't go through puberty it just happens!"
Damon fed her a piece of popcorn, he rolled his eyes at the cheesy begining. This was going to be a long two hours.
Mae didn't even respond, she was l like a zombie just staring blankly blinking ever so often.
Dem smiled a little then. "Great. More needles? Ah man. One of us gets out of the hospital and the other goes in." He teased her, shaking his head. Taylor laughed and rolled her eyes. "Yeah yeah I know. As far as excuses go that's a pretty good one. But at least hold off while we're out in the park, ok?" She said seriously, raising an eyebrow.
Lexi looked up in time to see him roll his eyes and she smirked. "Oh, is this already too sweet for you to handle?" She teased, eating another popcorn, before giving him one.
Torch frowned, worried. "Mae?" He asked again, waving a hand in front of her face. "I did this..." He whispered, feeling even worse than he had before. "Oh Mae. Maybe you were always better off without me..." He whispered, his eyes tearing up.
Liv laughed lightly "actually all I would need is a swab from the inside of your cheek, no needles no blood no hospital stay."Ashlynn gasped "Jude! Wait!" She tried to go after him but fell without the assistance, tears streamed down her face not only from the pain but that he ran off...
Zach nodded "agreed! Let's try the mini pipe for you ok? I need a distraction!"
Damon frowned reading a text that disturbed him greatly "Torch..."
Dem brightened. "Well that sounds much more do able. I hate needles." He said honestly, shuddering. "Don't know how you and Ash can take them. Jude had run to his room sobbing, lying on his bed again as the doctors worked on him. They didn't comment on his crying, and he didn't want them too. He didn't want to talk about it. No one seemed to care that he wouldn't be around for long.
Taylor smiled nervously. "Are you sure I can do it?" she asked, looking at it a little frightened.
Lexi frowned and paused the movie. "What's wrong?" She asked softly.
Liv smiled "I numbed her arm with a special cream so she wouldn't feel it, me on the other hand wimp out every time!"Ashlynn was losing consciousness from her head laying this way on the floor, she saw red spots and than nothing going limp on the tile.
Zach nodded "this is the kids one, even if you fall it doesn't hurt...like going down a playground slide."
Damon swallowed "I think my best friend is sucidal..."
Dem smiled a little then, shaking his head. "Well that makes me feel better." He said, smiling up at her. The doctors ran in when her monitor went off and they got her back into bed.
Back in Jude's room, because of his stress his situation had passed into critical.
Taylor smiled bravely and nodded. "Ok. Let's try it then." She agreed.
Lexi paled. "What!?" She asked. "What about Mae? Can we stop him? What happened to make him do that?"
Liv blinked her pager was going off like crazy, she grabbed it off the table and her face paled "shoot...I've got to get out of here!"Because of the fall, the bleed had begun again. Liv was the only one that could safetly take care of it!
Zach grinned and helped her at the top "just stay grounded and balanced, you ready?"
Damon showed her the text, it made him sick the way his friend thought about himself
Dem stopped her with a hand. "No. Liv, you're not ok right now... you need to rest!" He protested, not wanting her to get hurt. Taylor nodded slowly and took a deep breath. "You make it sound so easy." She said, chewing her lip once before she pushed off and slowly rolled down the ramp, wobbling here and there but over all she stayed up right.
Lexi read through the text slowly and she frowned. "That does not sound good." She whispered, shaking her head. "We need to go see them Damon, before he does something stupid."
Liv shook her head "it's your sister Dem...please, I'm fine...I'm the only surgeon that has that kind of skill."The doctors managed to get Jude, stable again they tried to convince him to stay in bed for once and not wander about the halls.
Zach cheered and grinned running down and spinning her around "that was awesome firefly!"
Damon already had his coat on and was helping her with hers before grabbing the keys and heading out to the car.
Dem paled and he swallowed, nodding slowly. He scooped her up gently, and flew them both to Ash's room.Jude was not happy about being bed ridden, and he made that as clear as he could by grumbling about hating his bed.
Taylor beamed brightly, giggling a little. "I couldn't have done it without you!" She said, kissing him quickly.
Lexi drummed her fingers nervously, tense for the whole ride.
Torch had boarded himself up in his study, setting the settings for lockdown. He couldn't bring himself to leave, but he could stay near Mae for fear of hurting her further either.
Liv went into work mode, she quickly changed into scrubs and put on her surgical mask wheeling her bed into the operating room.The nurses tried everything to make him happy, pudding...books, but nothing seemed to work!
Zach laughed and held her close "wanna try it again?"
Mae moved to the kitchen table slowly and just sat and stared, it was like she was there but no personality or life.
dem followed after her, worried sick. Ashlynn looked so frail, but he trusted Liv with her. He knew she could help.Zachary folded his arms and shook his head. "Just leave me alone!" He begged, curling up on the blankets.
Taylor smiled and nodded slowly, "I'd like to try again." She agreed bravely.
The second they arrived, Lexi jumped out of the car and ran inside going to find Mae. When she did she took her hands in her own. "Mae... It's me, Lexi. Are you ok?"
Liv shook her head "sorry love, I still can't have you in here! Just wait in the waiting room...I'll keep you updated I promise!"The nurses sighed and did just that, they had never seen him like this...
Zach nodded and led her back up and put the board down for her.
Damon rushed upstairs to Torch "Torch! Come on, where are you?"
Mae blinked getting a little response but notice as she lay her head on the table.
Dem swallowed and shook his head, not liking that but he couldn't argue, he knew he couldnt. "Ok. I'll be waiting." He sighed.Jude pulled the blankets over his head and let himself cry. He was dying, he knew it, and he could feel it more and more these days.
Taylor followed him up the ramp and carefully climbed onto the board, smiling at Zach before pushing off and down the ramp.
Torch heard Damon and he sighed softly, closing his mind. He returned to the drawer in front of him where he was selecting knives. He was confident that no one could get in or out of his study.
Lexi frowned. "Stop it Mae. You're stronger than this. snap out of it!" She said, "you can't give up now."
Liv nodded waiting till he was gone before going to work. She was in pain most of the time, but had to just focus on saving Ashlynn. Jude's mother timidly walked into the hospital, it had been so long...and though her husband forbid it she needed to see her son.
Damon rattled the door pounding on it "come on Torch! This isn't the answer!"
Mae started to cry finally breaching the surface "nothing makes him happy...and I can't fix it..."
Dem paced in the waiting room, worried about his two girls, both were hurt and he couldn't lose either. He swallowed and forced himself to sit and wait.A nurse was there to direct Jude's mother to his room. "It would be good if someone could cheer him up again." She said as she left her there.
Torch swallowed slowly, selecting a long knife from the drawer. "You can't stop me." He said softly, closing his eyes.
Lexi bit her lip, gathering her into her arms. "Mae... Why would you think that?" She asked, surprised.
Liv finished the surgery in a couple of hours and allowed Dem to be with her in intensive care. She sank down in her favorite supply room falling asleep.His mother gently put her hand on his back "Jude?...it's mommy..." She whispered softly stroking his hair.
Damon heard the swift sound of a knife going out of his hilt "Torch! Stop this, let me in so we can talk! Please!"
Mae swallowed "he said nothing makes him happy anymore...I can't raise two boys on my own...Zach already thinks he causes his dad pain!"
Dem walked in to see Ashlynn as soon as he could. "Ash?" He whispered, squeezing her hand, "are you feeling ok?"Jude flinched and he looked up, wiping his tears. "Mom?" He asked softly, almost not believing it to be true. His family had abandoned him.
Torch let the knife run along his thumb , leaving a fine red line. It was very very sharp. "And what good would that do? I have no place here. I hurt Mae, and I can do nothing to help her. Leave me alone Damon." He said, chewing his lip hard to keep the emotion out of his voice."
Lexi swallowed. "Did he say those words exactly? Or did he just say he wasn't happy?" She asked. "He needs you Mae. If there's one thing I know about you two, it's that you're both extremely sensitive, him maybe more so."
Ashlynn hadn't woken up yet, she was on more machines with a tube coming out of her incision draining the blood.She gathered him in her arms and smiled "hi my little superman...I missed you so much."
Damon shook his head "I'm.not leaving you alone! If you die I'm.bringing you back!"
Mae sighed "I can't help him! I can't help anyone!"
Dem sighed softly, kissing her forehead. "Get better soon." He whispered, hoping Liv was ok as well.Jude smiled, starting to cry all over again. "I missed you too." He whispered, hugging her tight.
Torch growled softly to himself. "You can't bring me back if you can't get in here." He snapped, digging the knife into his hand. "I'm done Damon I'm done hurting her."
Lexi swallowed. "That's not true. He loves you. You need each other."
Liv came back and pecked his cheek "there was a lot of damage Dem..."She kissed his head and rubbed his back "I'm staying with you...I left your father, he was the one that wouldn't let me come...I can't leave you alone Jude..."
Damon started throwing his weight against the door trying to break it down "you die she dies!" He reminded "and if she doesn't she'll be heart broken!"
Mae nodded and bit her lip "I don't know what to do..."
Dem looked up and swallowed slowly. "Will she be ok?" He asked, worried. Jude smiled, hugging his mother tight. "I love you... I love you so much." He mumbled, hiding his face against her.
Torch glared at his bleeding hand, trying to ignore Damon. He wasn't going to kill himself. He knew better than to do that. But he was going to make sure Mae didn't ever have to see him again. He would make sure there was no physical way for him to get out of this place.
Lexi shook her head. "The same thing I do everytime Damon and I have a problem, talk to him." She said seriously.
Liv sighed "I really hope so...we'll have to see when she wakes up...the fall was the worse thing that could happen to the bleed."She rubbed his back "we are going to find a cure, dr Liv is so close! Than we can go back home...or go on vacation!"
Mae nodded and went up the stairs "Torch! Please...I love you so much..,I need you!"
Dem frowned a little, nodding. "what I don't understand was why she had gotten out of bed in the first place..."Jude shook his head, closing his eyes. "There's nothing they can do Mom..." He bit his lip. "I'm... I'm dying..." He mumbled.
Torch winced, leaning his head against the wall. "Mae.... I can't hurt you again..." He whispered, suddenly weak.
Liv sighed "the nurses just said they found her..." His mother shook her head "dr Liv just told me they just need a powerful DNA and it will fight the cancer...you can't give up..."
Mae shook her head "I need you...please i love you so much, I can't live without you..."
Dem shook his head. "She wouldn't have done that on her own. Must have been that kid." he said, frowning a little. "I'm not sure if he's good for her."Jude looked up at his Mom. "Think so?" He asked softly. "I don't want to die Mom. Before I thought it would be a wonderful adventure, and I'd just try to have the best time I could... but then I made a friend, and now it's scary. I don't want to die any more." He mumbled, looking down again.
The knife dropped from Torch's hand and he slowly moved to the door, unlocking it. He sighed and looked down at his healed but blood covered arm and felt sick.
Lexi walked upstairs finally to check on them, seeing Damon and Mae waiting by the door. "Is everything going ok?" She asked softly.
Liv frowned and shook her head "Jude is one of the sweetest kids...I doubt he even knows...he would be at her bedside if he did..."His mother smiled softly "you made a friend? Who is it?" She was overjoyed that her son had support and love that he wanted to live.
Mae jumped into his arms and held him tightly crying hard "Torch...don't scare me like that again..."
Dem sighed softly. "I don't want Ashlynn to get hurt Liv... and when..." He swallowed. "If that kid dies, she's be devastated." He said softly. Jude smiled a little, happy that his mother was happy. "She's a couple rooms down. Had a stroke I think." he said, shrugging. "Her name is Ashlynn."
Torch hugged her tightly, his fingers running through her hair. "Mae... I'm sorry. I can't hurt you again, it seems like it's all I do these days..." He mumbled, his eyes watering.
Liv sighef and gave a half smile "I know Dem...I'm working on it, but right now I need to focus on getting Ash to wake up.She smiled "we should visit her, maybe wheel you around the hospital."
Mae shook her head "don't leave me...I love you so much...I just want you happy!"
Dem nodded in understanding, looking over at Ashlynn on the bed. "Anything I could do to help?" He asked softly. Jude rolled his eyes. "I don't need a wheelchair Mom! My legs work just fine!" He protested.
Torch nodded, burying his face in her neck. "And I just want you safe." He said, shaking his head a little. "I love you Mae."
Liv smiled "can I get some of your DNA? If I heal Jude he could be her support and hope." She said grabbing Jude's file.She laughed lightly "alright alright!" She took his hand and led him out in the hall "you sure you are ok?"
Mae nodded "I love you so much more...let's get that blood cleaned..." She said lightly touching his hand.
Dem nodded, willing to help wherever he could. "Of course." he promised, looking over at her, "What do you need me to do?"Jude trotted along happily beside her. "Yes Mom, I'm just fine." He promised, leading her down the hall to Ashlynn's room. When he saw her he paled, looking over to doctor Liv. "Is she ok?" he asked softly.
Torch nodded, pulling away enough to look down at his arm. He winced. "Yes, lets." He agreed.
Liv was going to answer when Jude came in. She bent down to his level "she needed another surgery, we'll know more when she wakes up..." She shook his mother's hand "this man might be the Dna we've been waiting for Lesa!"Lesa hugged Dem tightly, not even caring about that he might not save her son. She was just grateful he was trying.
James woke up and stretched quickly heading to the kitchen to make his wifey some breakfast! She was carrying their child! It still hadn't really hit him.
Zach showed her different tricks and riding on ramps, he was just so happy to be with her all day instead of being at home.
Damon smiled feeling like things were going to work out "let's head home."
Mae led him to the bathroom and washed his arm with a warm wash cloth.
Jude frowned a little, looking over at Ashlynn in worry. "I hope she's ok." He said seriously. Then he looked back at Liv. "So... I'm going to live?" He asked hopefully. Dem was a little startled when the strange woman hugged him, but he smiled a little, patting her back awkwardly. "I'll do my best to help him."
Emily was still fast asleep in their bed, her body exhausted from all the strain of carrying a child, not to mention becoming a new demon.
Taylor was learning quickly, and enjoying boarding very much. When the sun started to set, she smiled over at him. "Want to go to McD's and grab a snack and head to my place?" She offered.
Lexi nodded in agreement, looping her arm through his. "Yes lets." She agreed, "pregnancy has given me an appetite."
Torch stood still, just watching as she washed the blood off him. He loved how careful she was, how much it looked like she cared.
Liv smiled "didn't I tell you I wasn't going to give up? That's the plan...and if that doesn't work I'll keep trying Jude ok?"Lesa smiled "thank you...I'm sorry it's just being told by everyone that your son is a lost cause can be so hard...you are the first to give me hope."
James set it up on the little bedside table by their bed, he'd let her sleep...she needed it. He went back to work on the blueprints for the dream house!
Zach nodded eagerly "heck yes! Maybe your parents will let us have a sleepover!"
Damon had almost forgot, what with the excitement and chaos! He rubbed her stomach and nodded "let's."
Mae cupped his face and kissed him deeply leaning him against the shower door. Her legs wrapped around his waist.
Jude smiled brightly then, so relieved and he hugged her tight. "ok. Thank you so much." He said, thrilled. Dem smiled down at her. "I'm glad I could be the cause of that hope." he said honestly, "It makes me happy to know that."
Emily woke a few hours later and turned over to see the food on the table by the bed and she smiled softly. "Thanks James!" She called, before starting to eat the food he had made.
Taylor grinned, taking his hand as they walked towards McDonald's. "We can always try." She said, winking.
Lexi smiled and got in the car with him, looking down at her slight baby bump with a small smile. "What do you think we'll have this time?"
Torch was slightly surprised by her kiss, but it wasn't unwelcome and he immediately responded by kissing her back passionately, his hands tangling in her hair.
Liv smiled and let him go, she led them all out of the room. She didn't want to disturb Ashlynn even in the comatose state. She pulled Dem over to the lab and had him sit on the chair "I lied...I'm going to need some blood love." She said sheepishly.Lesa smiled as Jude gave her a tour of the entire hospital, they went back to his room and watched movies.
James smiled pulling away from his desk and walking back to the room. He pecked her lips "good morning my love...how are you doing?"
Zach laughed lightly and then stopped as two men were coming towards them, they wore suits and sunglasses. He grabbed Taylor's hand tightly "run!"
Damon drove back home and smiled to the side at her "it's high time for another baby boy don't you think?"
Mae had him in the shower clothes off quickly, she needed this time with him. She was protected so no surprises.
Dem followed her into the lab, sitting when she told him to. He swallowed nervously when she said she needed blood. "Ah great. I hate needles." He grumbled. Emily smiled at James when he came up and she reached out her hand for his. "Hey baby," she said softly. "How's your work going?" She asked.
Taylor caught sight of the men and she gasped in fear. She took off sprinting in the other direction. "Who are they!?" She panted, her eyes wide.
Lexi laughed softly, nodding. "I suppose it is." She agreed, smiling a little. "Two girls, two boys, that would make a lovely family." She agreed.
Torch was busy kissing her lips and jaw and neck, enthralled by her, her scent, her touch.
Liv nodded sympathetically, she got an idea and had a nurse come over. She cupped his face and kissed him deeply while she was keeping him preoccupied the nurse got the blood quickly. "All done!"James smiled and kissed her palm "it's doing good, making some great progress! How are you feeling? Did the baby keep you up?"
Zach felt an electric buzz and his body went stiff. They had shot his back and he couldn't move. "Just keep running!" He cried out scared for her.
Mae felt so loved and intimate it had been a long time since they had time together. After the days events she wanted him to know how much she loved him.
Dem laughed softly, shaking his head. "You sneaky fox. It worked I suppose, if you were trying to keep me occupied." He smiled. "When will you know if it helped?"Emily smiled. "Thats great. I can't wait to see some of the things you are working on." She said honestly. "I'm feeling quite well after that nap. The baby hasn't been bothering me much." she smiled.
Taylor gasped and stopped, spinning to run back and fall to her knees next to him, scooping him in her arms. "I'm not leaving without you!" She cried, weaving light around them, hoping to ward off the men who were drawing closer. Soon there was a dome of pure light around her and Zach.
Torch felt so much better, his heart felt lighter and he kissed her gently. "Thank you Mae. I needed that." he whispered, hugging her close.
Liv started mixing the blood in the machine splitting the DNA away "I'm going to insert it in Jude's veins right now. Ill keep an eye on his results and then we'll know!"James nuzzled her and nipped at her "you'll see soon enough, can I get you anything?"
Zach groaned, there was a barb attached to his back that was blinking. He couldn't move and he was losing consciousness quickly.
Mae nuzzled his chest "you're my guy...I love you so much! Even when I hated you I loved you..."
Jude smiled brightly at her. "Look you're doing it! You're recovering really quickly!"
Taylor nodded, pinching her lips together in concentration. "This is a little.... Exciting..." She said, her eyes wide as the board began rolling.
Lexi forced a smal smile, not really feeling cheerful at the moment..
Torch sighed softly. "It doesn't much any more." He said honestly.
