"Don't be sorry." Shane said, turning away from Naomi. "I don't want to see you again." Naomi felt her heart stop at his words, tears filling her eyes. "Shane...y-you can't mean that..." Shane didn't get a chance to answer as he heard Max call him. He turned to the car, and then to Naomi before slowly walking to the car. He stopped right outside, not bothering to open the door as he crossed his arms.

Max couldn't help but hear what Shane had told Naomi right before he started walking over to him. His eyes suddenly turned from being so confident, to scared and even a bit weak. When he saw Shane standing next to his car then with his arms folded and a look that obviously was not pleased; Max opened his mouth slightly, about to say something, but instead just let it hang there for a short moment before actually saying something. "Look, Shane. I understand why your angry. But please...don't take it out on Naomi. Texting or in person. If anything, take it out on me. After all, I'm the one that got her pregnant. Twice. I'm the one that asked her move in with me. And I'm the one who proposed to her." he finished, a bit scared of what Shane's next response was going to be, but at the same time, he was relieved to get most of that uncomfortableness out of him. "So please. If you absolutely have to be angry with someone." he took a deep breath, closing his eyes. "Be angry with me." he reopened his eyes. "Naomi did nothing." From all those words being let out, it was obvious that Max really did care for Naomi a lot. And he only hoped that Shane could see how much love Max had for Naomi too.

Shane pulled his lighter out of his pocket, flickering it on and off as Max spoke. He glanced back to see Naomi had made her way to the porch and was staring off into space, tears steadily streaming down her face. Seeing her like this made him feel sort of bad, but not enough to curb his anger. He turned his look back to Max, his eyes narrowed with one hand back in his pocket, the other still playing with the lighter. "And why should I not be angry at her? She's the one who promised she'd never leave me." He fought to keep his voice calm but what he really wanted to do was yell and scream until he got his point across. He had to admit he respected Max for saying what he did, but it changed nothing. "I'll be angry at whoever the fuck I want to." He said, turning to walk away. He was done with this conversation, he had said what he'd wanted to say.

"And she won't ever leave you. Shane, Naomi only lives another block away. Its not like she lives in another country." Max reassured him, "You can come visit her anytime you want. And we'll for sure be visiting you practically every week. It's not like you'll never see or hear from her again." he tried reasoning, saying one last thing before he walked away just then. "Shane, no matter what happens, you're never going to lose your sister. I promise." with that, Max let him go, keeping an eye on him still though, just to make sure he wouldn't start yelling at Naomi again, who seemed to be bawling out more tears than before.

Shane all but ignored the last part of what Max said as he walked away, but the sound of coughing stopped him. He turned in time to see Naomi clutching her chest, her coughing growing worse before she slumped over, nearly falling off the porch. "Naomi!" Shane's anger at her vanished as he rushed over to her. He scooped her into his arms, having no idea what to do. "Naomi? Naomi wake up!"

Max was about to look away from Shane then, until he too heard coughing sounds followed by a thump come from where Naomi was at. "Nai!" he shouted, immediately bursting out of his car, diving over to Naomi, kneeling beside her as Shane had already cupped her into his arms. Max placed his hands over Naomi's, his face full with emotion that he hasn't been able to fell since he found out about his biological family. "Naomi, please. Wake up." he choked out, clutching her hands in his, biting his lip attempting to hold back tears that were just seconds from falling. "...I can't live without you." he whispered to her, just barely audible.

Shane was pretty much near tears, feeling like all of this was his fault. "Naomi. I'm so sorry." He whispered, a single tear sliding down his cheek. "I shouldn't have yelled at you like that." Naomi shifted in his arms a bit, and her eyes fluttered open. "S-Shane? I-I'm sorry." Shane shook his head. "You shouldn't be Naomi." Her face twisted in pain and her eyes closed again. "I-I can't breath." She whimpered after a second. "My s-stomach. It h-hurts." Shane stood immediately, cradling Naomi in his arms. "We've got to get her to a hospital."

Can't help but think about his own past again, suddenly getting all these flashbacks of the avalanche story he was told about him surviving it but his family didn't. Curse memory loss. he thought to himself, looking up at Shane and nodding in agreement to his plan. Just barely getting back up to his feet again, he motioned Shane to follow him back to his car. "You can sit in the back with her, I'll drive to the nearest hospital." he told, moving Arielle's car seat to the front in order for them both to fit.

Shane nodded and followed Max to the car, climbing into the back seat carefully. He laid Naomi's head on his lap, not bothering to put on his seat belt. "Shane?" Naomi's eyes opened again, and Shane frowned, worried about how pale she was. "Don't worry Naomi. We'll take care of you." He murmured, brushing her hair back from her face.

Max slid into the drivers seat, looking back to make sure the others were ready to go, before turning over the ignition and heading straight to the nearest hospital. Within around ten or fifteen minutes then, they were finally in the hospital parking lot, Max pulling in to a spot closest to the entrance. "Alright, we're here." he muttered, sliding out of the car and opening the passengers seat, to grab Naomi carefully from Shane's lap, waiting for him to hop out of the car before he went ahead and carried his fiancee to the ER.

Shane got out of the car after Max took Naomi and followed closely behind. Once they got inside, Shane immediately went to the receptionists desk. "I need a doctor. My sister fainted." The lady behind the desk calmly looked up at the panicked boy. "I'll need you to fill a few things out." Shane frowned, his anger rushing back. "I don't have time to fill things out! My sister fucking fainted! I need a doctor!" He all but shouted. The lady remained calm as she said, "Sir, I'll need to you calm down." Shane sighed, obviously frustrated and walked away from the desk, running a hand through his hair.

Max hurried to the receptionists desk just as much as Shane did. Although, when Max was about to tell them what happened, Shane beat him to it. And not so much calmly either. Max took a stand then, "Look, Miss, we can fill this stuff out. But please, at least take in my fiancee. She's fainted, we don't know what's happened, and not to mention she's newly pregnant." he tried reasoning with the lady at the desk, hoping with his much calmer voice, she would take Naomi in right away.

The lady nodded, smiling a bit. "Okay, you can come back to see the doctor but he," She nodded to Shane, who was fuming in the corner, "he has to stay here and fill out the paperwork. Okay?" She grabbed a clipboard that had paper and a pen on it and slid it to the edge of the desk and then stood, going to open the door. She gestured to Max and said, "Come, follow me."

Max nodded, "Thank you." then quickly glanced over to Shane with a slight shrug, hoping he wouldn't mind too much to be left with the paperwork to fill out. Max adjusted himself then, making sure she had Naomi tightly and closely to his body, as he followed the lady down the hall to the room she was leading him to. "Everything's gonna be alright, Nai. I promise you." he whispered in Naomi's ear, hoping she had heard him even a little bit.

Shane sighed, going to grab the paperwork and plopped into a chair, filling it out. The lady led them to a room and she opened the door, smiling. "The doctor will be with you shortly. You can go ahead and lay her on the bed if you'd like." With that she closed the door to leave the two alone. "Max?" Naomi opened her eyes, though it hurt her to do so, and looked up at Max. "I-I'm sorry." Her eyes filled with tears. "I told you I was a bother."
