Sometimes Love Isn't Enough

It Always You.....

**Poss Trigger Talk of Brain Sugery**

Also, for the purpose of this story Josh is single.

‐----‐----------------------------------------------------------------

Taking the bull by the horns, I phoned Brendons parents last night. It was a hard phone call to make, but they had to know. I've done my bit. I let them know what has happened it's now their decision whether or not they come to L.A. to see Brendon.

**TIMESKIP 3 days**

**Carlyns POV**

It's been almost a week since Bren's accident. The swelling in his brain has come down gradually, and thankfully, he hasn't had another seizure. He is scheduled for further brain surgery this morning. The neurosurgeon is hoping to remove all of his drains and to reattach the piece of skull that was removed during his emergency brain surgery. They will then hopefully be able to reconstruct his skull. Dr. Merrick has just come in to discuss the procedure with myself and Pete.

"This is a step in the right direction, Carlyn.  We can't be sure when Brendon will regain consciousness, but things are looking up. Whilst he is in this current state, his body is healing itself from the trauma it sustained in the accident. He was very lucky to survive a fall from that height." We than her and go to update everyone that has arrived to support us through today.

Management has announced that the Pray For The Wicked tour has been postponed indefinitely due to the accident. They will keep all media channels updated with Brendon's progress.

**Pete's POV**

Carlyn has just gone back to Brendons bedside. I remain in the waiting area with Patrick, Gérard, Josh & Tyler. Everyone is still in a state of disbelief and shock at the events that have happened in the past few days.
"Hey, Pete," Tyler states. "Carlyn looks a bit better today. Do you think she's coping, OK?"
"I think she is Ty, she's made of pretty strong stuff. The midwives have been great with her whilst she's been here. She actually has a scan this afternoon when Brendon's in surgery. Can one of you guys go with her? I need to head to the office to sort through some paperwork and stuff. " Before anyone can speak, Josh pipes up."I'll go with her."

**Carlyn's POV**

"Hey, Bren. How are you feeling today? I know I won't get an answer, but the staff have told us to talk to him like we would normally. I let him know that I have a scan this afternoon just to make sure myself and the baby are doing OK after the stress of the past week. I keep him up to date on the guys and the band. "Nicole, Dan & Mike came over last night for some food and to basically check that I am doing ok. I know everyone is worried but I have to believe that You can hear me and that you will wake up."

**Brendon's POV**

I can hear Carlyn talking to me, but I can't seem to catch her attention. She keeps talking about a baby. How long have I been here? We don't have a baby, do we? Why can't I remember? I hear another voice telling Carlyn that it's time for me to be prepped for surgery. Why am I going for surgery? Can someone please wake me from this hell I am locked in. I try to scream, but no one can hear me. Am I actually screaming, or is it just in my mind.

**Carlyn's POV**

Josh tells me that he is coming along with me for my scan today. I am pleased to spend some time with him as it's been a while since we have spent some time together. We first became friends many years ago.  He always seems to know how I am feeling and what I am thinking. He is, in fact, one of my best friends.   When you first meet Josh, he can seem quite quiet and moody and a bit syand offish.  In actual fact, he is incredibly shy, but once you get to know him, you will have a friend for life. He is an absolute sweetheart and just like a big cuddly teddy bear.

"Hey Carlyn, Brendon will wake up soon. He's going to be a dad. He's fighting to get back to you." He tells me, wrapping me in a hug.
"I know, Jish, but I can't stop going over our fight that night. I told him I didn't need him and that I could do this on my  own. What if he thinks that it's true and he stops fighting. I was such a bitch to him" Josh stops me dead in my tracks and looks me dead in the eyes.
"Carlyn, you can't keep torturing yourself like this. Brendon knows that you didn't mean that. Hell, everyone knows how hot-headed you both are. How many times have we all witnessed you both arguing? All hell breaks loose, but you always make up. Tou both said things in thecheatvof the moment.  Come on, let's go and see how you and this little one are getting on."

We just get seated when the sonographer calls my name. "Carlyn Urie?"
"C'mon Jish It's time for you to meet the littlest Urie."

The scan shows that the baby is developing nicely and the look quite settled, and most importantly, they remain healthy. The stresses of the last few days doesn't  seem to have affected them. I am so relieved to hear this as I have been so worried. If only the same could be said for me. I have been given strict instructions to take better care of herself and try not to get so stressed out. I can't help but laugh at her remark.  "Well, no shit Sherlock, that's easier said than done given the fact that my husband is currently in a coma and is fighting for his life in the Critical Care Unit." I respond curtly, leaving her speechless as I make my way out of the room.

**Later that day××

Brendon is now in the recovery suite after his brain surgery. Dr. Merrick has been in and spoke to us, and she is pleased with the outcome and with Brendons current stats.

Pete is adamant that he will be staying with Brendon tonight. He has instructed us that Josh will take me home once Brendon is back in his room and once I have seen him.

"Bren," I say. "Pete is gonna stay with you tonight. I'm going to head home for the night. Dr's orders, but I'll be back first thing in the morning. I don't know where you are just now, but I hope you can hear me. I love you, I need you. We need you. Our baby needs their daddy." I tell him as I place a kiss on his cheek.

When Josh and I arrived back at the house, I was surprised to see Tyler & Jenna, Gérard & Lindsey along with Meagan. "Hi guys!. Are we having a party that I don't know about?" I joke. Josh comes up behind me with a little smile. "With everything that has been going on with Brendon, you haven't had a chance to get the baby's room finished. We all decided to get together and do this for you both. There isn't  much we can do for Brendon, so we made ourselves useful here. " It's then I suddenly realise that the crib and dressers have been moved from downstairs. I have been so used to them being there that it didn't bother me anymore. "I don't know how to thank you guys, I really appreciate everything you have done for us," I tell them fighting back the tears that were threatening to fall. "Hey, we are all family," said Gérard "and families look after each other." Josh gave me a wink."Come on, let's go check this little munchkins nursery."
