Kingdom Of Cards chpt 4 N.S. story Bad Omens

Peace of mind

Noah's POV
I came sprinting down the hallway and bang on the hotel door. Eleanor answered within five seconds with a shocked face expression. I don't even wait to catch my breath as I lean in and kiss her hard. "Keep the baby. I'm sorry, I was scared ." I whispered while cupping her cheeks. "Jesus answered my prayer quickly!" She laughs before kissing me back. "I saw something and that was enough. I want you to keep the baby and we'll see what happens later."  She smiles in relief before hugging me. "We're not twenty but we're not old, so let's make the most of it." I smile too as we kiss again and walk backwards into the room.

I pick Eleanor up bridal style and gently set her on the bed. "Are you ok with this? " Ellie asked as I slowly crawl above her. "I am now. I kinda thought about it differently and.... if this is my last year, I want to spend as much time with you and Sebastian as possible. " she nods while wrapping her arms around my neck. "Noah, I love you." I smile and kiss her nose.
"I like you a lot." She jokingly frowns before I kiss her again.....

FRIDAY
I sat on the table again as Phil looks at the paperwork I filled out. "Ok, Noah I'm gonna have you take some more tests and you definitely need to start taking time to get medication flowing through your body." I nodded as he waves me down to follow him.
"In this room you'll need to sit for a few hours to get the medication in." My eyes widened in shock. "How many hours? I have things I need to get done, Phil" he nods as I sit down.
"At least three times a day, Noah "
"Two? I can't just sit here and do nothing." I asked as he cringes. "For this week, we'll start with two." I let out a breath as he reaches for a few cords. "Phil, how bad is it? " I lean back against the chair as he removes his glasses and looks at me. "It's worse than our last visit, but that's why you're here. When you just sit and let the medicine do it's job, then you have a significantly higher chance of overcoming this disease. You're a strong man, Noah... if you can over come twenty something suicide attempts, then you can beat this." I smirked and nodded as he kneels beside me. "Ok, let's roll up the sleeves." I pull my black long sleeve up as he slowly inserts a long needle.
"Just two more then I'll stop torturing you." I laughed as he slides the second one in. "This last one needs to hit a vein, just take a deep breath and relax your arm." I do as I'm told as the last needle enters my flesh. "Great! Ok Noah, I'm gonna go get the tests ready  then come get you in two hours ok?"
"Thanks Phil" he nods then slowly shuts the door.

I just sat there pretty bored if I'm being honest, so I pull out my phone and call, Eleanor.

After a few rings she picks up.
"Hey, Noah! How's everything looking? " I smile when I hear her cute voice. "Well it's worse than last time, but I'm just sitting here getting filled up with medication." I kinda laughed as so did she on the other end. "I feel so bad for you"
"Don't worry about me, how's it for going by you? Did you go for your appointment." I ask since she told me she wanted to check on the new baby.
"I did. It's too early to tell anything.
They can see the baby though, it's still so small in it's development." I nodded. "I should have my buddy Will come and check you out. I don't think you remember him, but he saved you in that accident years ago."
"Oh my god, I didn't remember until now." Will and I have kept in touch ever since and toured with his band. he's really a great guy. "Yeah, he's good people. Well babe, I've gotta go but I'll see you in just a bit." A smiling nurse was waiting for me at the door.
"Ok honey, lo- I know you hate that, sorry. I'll see you later " she was too cute sometimes. "Sure, bye hon" I then hung up and look up at the nurse.

"Hi Noah, Phil actually can see you now." She says as I nod. "Cool, thanks for coming down" she nods while walking towards my arm. "He also has some results for you to go over."
I don't know if that was a positive or negative thing?

As the nurse removes the needles from my arm, I stand up and follow her down the hallway.

Once we make it to Phil's room, she leaves. "Hi Noah, one of my patients canceled an appointment so I can get in now." I'm so ready to go back home. "Oh that's good. The nurse told me you had some results? " I ask sitting on the table again. "Yeah. So we do need to do more tests since it looked worse than last time. I'm gonna have you change into this then I'll be back okay?" He says handing me a gown. "Am I going for a MRI?" I joked. "You might have to, it depends on what we can see." he nods before walking out. I take in a deep breath before removing my shirt.....

Eleanor's POV
I was cooking some pasta when I heard a knock on the door. Is Noah home yet? I hope before jogging to the door. As I open it, I see Folio.
"Hey Folio!" I smiled as he hugs me.
"Hi sweetheart, these are for you." He says sweetly while handing me some yellow flowers. "Awe, Folio you shouldn't have." I said taking them from him. "Not a problem, Ellie.
I just want to say I'm so sorry to hear about, Noah. He literally just told us last week. " I nodded again as the thought broke my heart. "Thank you.
He's at the hospital right now, so I'll have to see what he says when he gets back." He sadly nods. "I feel horrible for him, especially with his Nana and everything." Noah was so close to her and till this day, he's not completely over it. She must've been his safe haven when he was a child.

"Me too. Do you want some pasta? I'm just cooking." He smiles again but declines my offer politely. "I'd love to but, my boys are waiting to go for a ride." I nod in understanding, "oh go on! I don't want to keep you waiting."
"Okay. I'll see ya soon, Ellie." He says giving me another tight hug before slowly pulling away. "Yes, have fun Folio!" We wave before going our separate ways.

Noah should hopefully be home soon.....
