famille ne s'arrête pas dans le sang

“All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.” Katherine Ray...

[leohmccoy]

Leo was drawn to her side in an instant, before she could even finish her repeated plea for help; he rested soothing, steadying hands on her to provide some support along her back and abdomen. Whatever else was plaguing Leo at the moment – and there was plenty, the least of which was an actual plague – it all seemed to fall away as he held her. Unimportant, right this second. Instead other spikes of apprehension and tensions took their place like unwelcome vines of fear through his mind – her breathing was wrong, for one thing, too sharp and jagged for regular contractions, and the way she’d jackknifed over at such an angle. He purposefully slowed his own breathing with her pressed to his chest so that she would subconsciously follow his lead. 

“It’s all right, darlin’. It’s all right, we’ll get you to there. This doesn’t look like labor yet.” His eyes scanned her anxiously, and he brushed her hair gently out of her face. “Could be braxton hicks – the fake ones. Can you stand up straight for me?”

Leo's rush to her side, his arms around her, his voice in her ear - normally, all of these actions would've soothed her immediately, would've quelled any worry bubbling in her chest. But the pain was so sharp, and so severe, that Katherine couldn't help but gasp out an agonizing 'no' as she tried her best just to stay upright. She wanted to reach up and reassure the father of her children that she was okay - that they were all okay - but her hands were balled into fists around the edge of the table, and she wasn't even sure she could get another word out as a low groan escaped her lips.

The pain started in Katherine's lower abdomen. It had started as something small - something she'd easily dealt with, considering what worse pains she'd had to deal with in her life prior to her pregnancy. But as time progressed at a fairly rapid pace, the pain became more noticeable, less manageable, and the bloated woman was soon bent over the side of a dining table, her breathing labored. She'd been told that around this time in her pregnancy, "fake" contractions were a common symptom, and the best she could do was to breathe through them and allow them to run their course. But this pain was something entirely different, something she hadn't been expecting. It didn't feel.. Constricting, or like there was an uncomfortable amount of pressure building in her belly - it was sharp, and stinging, and it brought tears to the corners of her eyes as she gripped the edge of the table. Something was wrong, and she knew it. She'd asked a billion questions on what she was supposed to expect, that way when it came time, she wouldn't be panicking over the unknown. But no one had warned her of this kind of debilitating agony - which, of course, set her anxiety through the roof. Something was off schedule, something was wrong with her babies, or with herself, and all Katherine could do was bite back those burning tears as she tried not to collapse. "Please.." Her voice was unsteady, gravelly with the pain she was attempting to withstand. She tried again, this time a little louder. "P-Please, I need.. I need to get to the infirmary."

He traced her cheek, wiping away a few of the tears that fell. He broke the kiss to look at her, really look at her, and the hopeful smile stayed on his face. Hesitantly, carefully, he reached to rest a hand on the swell of Katherine’s stomach as he leaned his forehead against hers, eyes on his hand between them. Jesus, they’d grown so much –

Too much. The thought struck him almost immediately; he’d realized that, facing reality head on, no bullshit: he had to have died in Peru, killed by those bastards who’d kidnapped them, so if he was here now to hold Katherine he must have been brought back by Coin’s magic voodoo. But…how long? Had to be…six, eight months, at least. Guilt rose up his throat like bile and his smile faded. Katherine had been alone, pregnant, for eight months. “I’m so sorry,” he whispered quietly, leaving his hand on the curve of her stomach.

Katherine willing let Leo touch her as she took deep, shaky breaths. She knew he must’ve been realizing just how long he’d really been gone for, and the soft apology only made her heart hurt more. She’d thought, for so many months, that she’d have to go through this all by herself. The pregnancy, raising their children, everything that came with those experiences. And now, suddenly, out of nowhere, he was back, and it felt like all of the fear she’d been trying to swallow down and deal with on her own was bubbling straight back to the surface. She hadn’t wanted to put any of this stress on anyone else, but it was like she couldn’t hold it back with him. 

Her tears were falling harder now, faster, and Katherine’s hands moved down to his tattered shirt to grip it tightly. “I didn’t.. You.. I-I..” she began, barely managing to choke any of the broken words out as her breathing became more and more shallow. She knew this couldn’t be good for the babies, but she just couldn’t stop. She’d held so much in for eight months, how was she supposed to keep any of it in now? “You.. Y-You were gone..”

There were no words to describe the feelings rushing through Katherine at that very moment. Pain, sorrow, guilt, happiness, confusion, longing - they were all assaulting her at once as she stared at her once-dead boyfriend, leaving her mind with little capacity for anything other than the reminder to breathe. But even breathing was hard to accomplish as she watched him approach her. How was she supposed to react? What was she supposed to do?

Thankfully, she didn’t have time to answer those questions. Just as soon as the anxiety began creeping in, and she felt her weak knees begin to work again, Leo’s hands were on her face and his lips were pressed to hers. And suddenly, it didn’t matter anymore that he’d just been brought back to life. It didn’t matter that she’d gone so many months without the love of her life, just trying to find the will to continue surviving on her own. 

Because when his lips met hers, it was like no time had been lost at all. His lack of hesitation spurred her own, and, ignoring the large bump between them, Katherine reached up herself and put her hands over his own, easily returning the kiss. Tears were welling in her eyes, as was probably to be expected, but she didn’t care. He was back. He was home.

No, fuck, don’t touch her–

– what …the hell, where…

“..Leo.”

His name rushed from her lips before she had a chance to stop it. She didn’t know what else to say - how else to react.

When Katherine had initially been rushed down to the infirmary, her first concern had been for her children. They hadn’t told her why she was being summoned, so of course she could only think that some obscure test had come back with some sort of heavy news about her unborn babies. The last thought on her mind was that she would be seeing her children’s dead father lying on a table, some sort of needles and tubes on the counter beside his bed.

But.. There he was. And there she was. And there were the others - she vaguely recognized the faces of those others she cared about, Scott and Ember, but really, her focus was turned on why they were all gathered there. They were bringing him back? After all of the time she’d had to live without him?

It didn’t feel real. Not while she was waiting, and not even after his eyes had snapped open and he was screaming. Again - his name practically fell out of her mouth while her mind reeled. She was going to have babies soon. His babies. He was.. Dead, they’d found him dead, he couldn’t just suddenly be back. 

Katherine stumbled back a little, as she noticed Ember’s flying hug and Scott’s obvious instability. Not because she was in the way of either, or because she was scared - mainly because she was suddenly feeling very nauseous and needed the wall to lean against. He couldn’t have just left her, and their children, and everybody they cared about... And then just suddenly be back.

“I was crushing on my mentor. Crushing on my older mentor. I had to be out of my mind. He was seven years older than me. Old enough to be my…well, okay, nothing. But still older than me. Seven years was a lot. He’d been learning to write when I was born. When I’d been learning to write and throw books at my teachers, he’s probably been kissing girls.“ (insp.)

Death of me… ✝

[smileatthewolf]

[mumxinfinity-blog]

I never thought I’d be a killer 'cause there’s so much to lose. But if I can’t drink the water what else can I do? And although the axe is heavy it just sits in my hands. While you’re changing like the current, not a shore on land.

Every time I try to bring it down, you always turn my head around.

Make up your mind; let me leave or let me love you. While you’ve been saving your neck I’ve been breaking mine for you.
