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

Something to remember

Eleanor's POV
Noah and I were lying on his bed kissing softly and trying to enjoy our time together. We both know he doesn't have a lot of time left so we have to really cherish every bit of it.

I cup Noah's cheek as he slides his hand down my back, pulling me closer to him. "I wanna see you again" he mumbled as we briefly pulled away. "What do mean?" I question as we kiss again. "When I'm dead, where will you be?" I pull away this time as our eyes meet. "Baby, I'm gonna be home. I so badly want to go with you. Even if it meant I'd die, I'd still go." I whispered as he kisses my nose.
"I know I promised myself, but I think- I think I'm in love with you again, Eleanor." Those words I've been dying to hear him say, he finally said.
I truly believed he wouldn't ever love again.

"You- you love me?" I sounded so emotional. "You and my Grandmother were the only people I really loved.... I always lose them in some way though." I gentle rub his cheekbones as he holds my hand against his chest.
"Noah, you'll get to see her very soon" that was so heartbreaking to say, but at least there's someone he deeply loved that will be there for him.
He smiles at the thought of his grandmother before turning to face me again. "I hate myself for this, but I'm f*cking gonna say it." He sits up as I was still lying on the pillows staring at him. He leans in towards my ear and whispers......
"I love you, angel. Your my first and last love forever till we meet again." I then feel his cold lips against my neck.
My hand cups the back of his head as he just buries his face into my shoulder. "Noah, I love you so much"
"I love you too, baby girl" he whispered back as we just lie there in each other's arms.

MONTHS LATER
Noah's POV
"It's looking like you have days left, Noah. The medication can only do so much." Phil explains with lots of emotions in his voice. We've always been pretty close so it's tough for both of us.

I nodded as he helps me into my wheelchair. I'm so skinny and weak that I can barely walk, so I'm using a wheelchair now. "Thank you for everything Phil, I'll hopefully see you next week." He nods before giving me a hug. "God bless you, Noah " he smiles sadly holding the door open for me. "God bless you, too" we then go our separate ways.

I put my hat back on and slowly make my way down the bright hallway alone. Folio, Nick, and Jolly all offered to come help me, but I want to do this myself. Besides, they've been visiting me as often as they can but Jolly lives in Sweden, Nick and his wife are trying to buy a house, and Folio is hanging around the house in cause Eleanor needs to be taken to the hospital. So everyone is busy and has their own life to attend too......

Eleanor's POV
I was painting a picture with Sebastian in Noah's bedroom when I feel my water break. "Oh God" I whispered as Sebastian looks at me.
"Mom are you ok?" He asked setting his paint brush down. "The baby is ready." I said leaning into the wall.
I need to get to the hospital.

"FOLIO?" I yell as Sebastian grabs my hand and we head towards the stairs.
"YEAH?" he yells back. "THE BABY IS COMING!" Sebastian wraps his arm over my back as Folio comes to sight instantly. "Hey, it's ok, Ellie. Sebastian go get in the car buddy." Folio says as he and Sebastian switch places.
My legs were shaking as Folio guides me down the stairs and outside to where the car was at.

As we exit the house, I think of Noah.
He has to be here for this. "Folio, please call Noah" I whimper as his muscular arms guide me to my seat.
"I will, don't worry Ellie " he says calmly before closing my door and running to his side.

Sebastian sits in the backseat as Folio starts the car and pulls out his phone.

My legs were shaking as I was trying so hard not to give birth to Noah's and my baby in the car. The pain was getting worse, but what scared me most was not having Noah there.

I turn to face Folio as Noah answers the phone. "Hello?" He says slowly as Folio speeds down the street. "Hey buddy, Ellie's gonna have the baby.
I'm racing her to the hospital now." Folio explains as I reach over and squeeze his thigh. I didn't mean to, but the pain and stress was really getting to me. He tenses up but continues to focus on the road. "Oh f*ck, are you serious?" Noah questions as we drive through a red light. "Yeah, you gotta hurry man"
I tap Folio's shoulder so I can talk to Noah for a minute. I just need to hear his voice right now. Folio hands me his phone and I put it up against my ear.

"Baby, are you ok?" I asked holding my stomach. "Hi baby, I'm about to go into surgery." I cringed as a sharp pain ran down my back. I do my best not to say anything regarding the pain before responding to noah.
"Baby, I'm sorry" I said as I hear some movement on the other line. "Ellie?"
"Yes Noah?" My legs press against each other as my body tries to hold the baby in. "I'll be there." A small smile appears on my face just hearing him say those words. "Noah, I love you so much " I said breathless as a door opens and closes on his end.
"I love you so much too, baby girl.
I'll see you soon" he says calmly as I nod. "Thank you, Noah. Bye" we then hung up.

"I can't believe he said 'love' again " Folio says smiling at me. "I think he's trying to cherish everything." I grunt as we pull up to the hospital. "You're a good lady, Ellie... you two belong together " he says sweetly before pulling to the front door.

"Alright Sebastian, let's go!" Folio says making him laugh before they make it to my side. "Alright, let's get you in there" he says helping my out of the car gently. "Oh Folio! I don't think I-
"You got it, Ellie. We're almost there."
He reassures as we carefully walk inside.....
