He'd already spoken his displeasure over finding out that she had fainted at work and he hadn't been informed. Despite his wife's objections that it hadn't been necessary, he was going to have a nice chat with her boss about it. Call him the big scary marine walking up to someone's boss, but he wasn't about that. That and the fact it was starting to resemble a pattern that had been in the past had irked him a little. Now that they had talked it out and established that she was all right now he was back into his protective role. His hand running up and down her back, the other holding her hand, he was watching the envelope that was on the table. The fact she hadn't been curious enough to look at what possibly ailed her astounded him, he would want to know. Yet he only took her permission for him to open it for him to even reach out to it. "You're making this way more nerve wrecking than I'd like, just so you know." He told her, fingers nimbly working the envelope and pulling out the document. Eyes scanned the document, reading every line one by one for what they tested for. He was no doctor or nurse, but had plenty of blood work done he knew how to read these by now. "What did they tell you? I don't see anything that causes --" There it was. Printed black on white, pointing at him right in his face. HcG: 45,482 mIU/mL. "Oh my God." @norasinclair

Where: Noah & Nora's House

Nora drew in a breath, tense and strained, as she sat down at the breakfast island. The crisp, white envelope lay in front of both their prying eyes, just waiting to ripped open. She'd make the mistake of telling her husband she had passed out at work, needing a doctor's attention along with a few regular tests to rule out anything sinister. Now he was taking up the necessary, protective space beside her, taking most of her nerves and turning them into something positive. Unfortunately for them both, there were still some left behind, lingering deep in the pit of her stomach as it started to churn up every possibility that lay on the paper that was still unopened. She hadn't given much thought to how she'd been feeling over the past few weeks, instead chalking it all up to medical school nerves and trying to dance the delicate, tricky line between being an emergency nurse and would-be doctor without it breaking. Not really thinking it could be anything else. " I think you should open it. If there's something wrong, I want you to know first ".

PURPLE HEARTS (2022) dir. Elizabeth Allen, Ben Lewin

He could care less about them being in a public space. Enjoying the time he had with her after so long. Valentine's day had been a fleeting moment, and saying goodbye had been just as bittersweet when he waved at her in the departure hall. Not anymore though, not for a very long time. Where she would go he would follow. "You should've gone with vape, not cigarettes." He mused, smiling at his wife while his daughter nestled herself against his chest, as if it was her saying finally. Something he greatly agreed upon. He was occupied with the sounds leaving his daughter's mouth that he had only caught on, on Nora having readied his duffel bag and cleared the sign away, getting ready to leave. With a hand on his wife's back, he nodded at her question, his daughter secure in his other arm, rubbing her wandering hands over the stubble on his cheek, as if amazed by the roughness of it. "More than ready." He spoke, following alongside her. "You know." He chuckled. "That sounds like a perfect idea, honey." @norasinclair

END.

Standing in his unmistakeably protective aura, barely enough room to move except closer to each other, Nora felt as giddy as she had all those years ago, finding an unfamiliar comfort and keen desire in such an unexpected moment as the snow fell so hard and without warning on that serendipitous day, both of them warm and nestled deep in those Colorado mountains. An event now firmly planted in the recesses of her fondest memories. " Good, I was hoping it would " She chuckled, her rosy lips buzzing against his as she fought every instinct not to perform an indecent display of affection in front of the entire arrivals lounge. The closeness had been something she'd craved for so long, reaching for it every chance she could even going as far as flying halfway across the world so they wouldn't spend Valentine's Day apart. Yet hearing the way he spoke to their daughter impressed a proud smile into her dimples as he unbuckled her out of her stroller. " I tried to keep her on the cigarettes and black coffee diet but the girl's got an appetite " She insisted, rubbing her daughter's back as Nessie reacquainted herself with the most important man in her life. Despite missing her husband something terrible, she couldn't imagine what it felt like for their infant daughter. She wasn't old enough to understand such adult decisions yet she was still a part of the dynamic once they were made. Now they were together again, it was only a matter of time before Nessie turned into a complete daddy's girl. Lifting her husband's duffel bag into the empty stroller, Nora tidied away her homemade sign and sat it safely on top. She'd almost forgotten how much sleep she hadn't been able to get the night before until she stretched out her back with a soft but noticeable yawn. Perhaps Noah and Nessie could be persuaded to spend their first few hours together in bed so Nora could finally get some sleep ? Her smile curved upwards as she slid her fingers through his empty hand, her other hand curling around the handle of the stroller. " You ready to go ? " Nora wrinkled her brow a little, watching Nessie kick out her legs in excitement, keeping her father entertained with her animated burbling. " I was thinking we could maybe spend some time just us three ? In our nice warm bed ? ". @noahsinclaxr

"That's all right and fine. But when someone tells you to call them or that theyre ready to give you help, you need to push that thougth aside, because it doesn't apply." He told Donovan, not wanting him to keep thinking that he was 'bothering' everyone in his life. It was far from the truth. "Here's to hoping. It's hard to picture not having her around." He sighed, sometimes feeling like he owed his life to her. He had small triggers sometimes when he heard her bark in her sleep, it resembling the sounds from that fateful day. He refused to go there. Daisy would be just fine. "I'm proud of you Don. I really am." @donnymorgan

He knew that Noah did understand as they were both there. But it just took one seat different for how badly Noah was hurt vs. Donny. They both saw and heard things no one should ever see. Donny's leg to a big blow and that was the start of it. He had his own cuts and burns that thankfully did heal pretty well. But his leg was one thing he didn't recover from. It led to a blood clot that caused the loss of his leg and him to flatline. But the doctors were good and got him back but at the cost of his leg. He spent his recovery and hospital stay mostly alone in New York, as he wasn't close to his family at the time. He sighed as he smiled at his old friend. "I know I just I still don't like to bother people" he felt like he was still to many. Part of what he was working on about himself. "It is for sure, but I am going to more" different ones, and groups to help. "Oh she is that's great" he smiled glad for Nora. "I been talking to my brothers again" he smiled glad too. "It's a little weird but we are trying" he knew he did need them. "Oh no" he had to frown he knew that Daisy was a good girl, and always at Noah's side. "I am sure she will be okay" knowing Noah would take her to a vet. "I know me going to the hospital was big set back in ways... but it helped me" over living the life he was not living his place for days on end. @noahsinclaxr

"Oh that's a load of horse feathers." Noah scoffed, brows furrowed in disdain. Though despite his words, he believed the man immediately. Guess that was him scratching steak off of his 'out for dinner' list. He'd stick to a soup or chicken. "One can only dream." He snickered, letting out a breath. "I mean I can always say I have been privileged enough that I never needed to worry about financials, but medical school is a lot. At least we saved up for it before Nora went. She can save up for Nessie's college." Noah chuckled. And who knew, perhaps he'd find something he could do to roll in the cash in the future when the kids were at school. @jeremyxlieberman

He chuckled. "Let's just say I can have buy a four pack of steaks for the same price and buy all the fixings for them too." He told the man. "About thirty bucks." He gave the more recent price from what he heard when a co-worker went out to eat there the previous week. He laughed a little bit and shrugged. "Not sure that'd get you far, but you can definitely try." @noahsinclaxr

"Chase them with torches, the lot of them." He chanted, his Boston accent really pushing through on purpose. Boston always had been just an hour trip away from Salem. Witch hunts were part of it, right? "Oh? In a good way?" Noah asked, arching an eyebrow. All he wanted was to see his sisters happy. He got to with Haven, an extra pep in her step these days. Now he hoped Mallory would do the same. Yet when she explained he nodded, understanding it more than she knew. "Being true to yourself isn't often easy. I'm sure you made the right choice. It's certainly a commendable one." @malloryxsinclair

"One would like to think so," she laughed with a shake of her head, "yet, I know there are people out there that don't like chocolate and those people make me nervous." She told Noah with another laugh. "Yeah, it's kind of like being in an alternate universe," it had caught Mallory by surprise to say the least. "We were," she nodded her head, smile catching on her lips as she thought of her relationship with Michael. "We just had different paths ahead of us, starting off in our careers," it's not that she had stopped loving the other, "we didn't want to hold each other back and become resentful later on." @noahsinclaxr

[noahsinclaxr]

"Yeah.. I can get that." PTSD was no fun. Noah was in the same boat as Donny. If anything, he was able to know exactly what it was like for him, seeing as they had been in the same accident, heard the same wails of their comrades dying. Considering their injuries, though, Donovan had been less lucky than he had been. Granted, his hand was a reminder, as were the scars on his right side. The fact he had flatlined, stroked out and had been momentarily blind was something that was a distant memory, even if it had only been five years. The difference was that Noah had a better support system. He wondered if Donovan would've ended up better had he had the same, for he knew his family was a distant one. "Please, none of that. Even if I am in the midst of changing diapers, I would call with you."It would even be comic relief, if Donny was lucky. "I know that therapy is something we always frowned upon but.. It's good you're still going. And I hope it helps." He told him, nodding at his question. "They're good. Nora is studying for medical school. Nessie is growing like crazy. I have both my sisters with me now full time, couldn't be better. Daisy is worrying me though. She's skipped a few meals." And Donny knew from back during their service, that Daisy had quite the appetite. She had always been Noah's favourite k9 during his years of service. He was glad she got to live out her retirement with him. @donnymorgan

He looked at Noah for a moment and was confused too. "It wasn't going not me..." he said sure he wasn't speaking clearly or something. "Just my mind... the thoughts I get" he sighed. Noah knew he had a lot going on with Donny's PTSD and more. He taped his good foot on the floor. "You have a lot going on with work and a family.... I wasn't going to bother you or anyone" he didn't tell a lot of people what happened to him. He smiled at Noah for a moment "Doing better, more therapy but it helps" he smiled. "But how are you doing how's the family?" he asked hoping they all were doing well. @noahsinclaxr

[noahsinclaxr]

"I know it. Not sure I should. But I know." Noah wasn't able to resist the smile. One of his happiest times coming home, come to think of it, and most unexpected as well. No one had ever called him out on it; being to blame for a failed marriage. It had been an innocent kiss, an unintended one. But it had let to a great relationship which helped both of them grow as individuals, he didn't regret that. "Don't say that. Makes me feel like I have to offer up my next born child or something." He snorted, taking hold of her arm when she nudged him once more, as if to prevent her from doing so again. Yet he lightly shook her arm, a clear sign that he was embracing her jest. "Still don't know how you did it. But you always were built differently. Suppose I have to be glad if it made you realise you weren't made for the big city. Means I can bother you here now." @giovannaxwallace

Giovanna rolled back her eyes as the corners of her lips lifted into a smile. "You know the time," she chided Noah in a playful tone. "I'm glad to hear that you enjoy it," the way life had worked out for the both of them was seemingly for the best. Though her first kiss with Noah had led to her divorce, it had led her to a better relationship with Noah. One that wasn't pursued by her young teenage mind, the same mind that led her to get married by the time she was nineteen. Though she and Noah didn't work out- she could still find herself happy for the other. "Yeah?" She was not entirely surprised by the notion and yet, it still had not happened for her. "Maybe you were my last shot," she joked, nudging him once more, "Kidding, but yeah, who knows." She shook her head, "I like teaching, I finally feel the lift of the burnout from working in New York." Though many children were found, there were many more that had never been. @noahsinclaxr

[noahsinclaxr]

"Oh God, where to start." Noah sighed, sitting back in his chair as he gazed into the house, as if it would show him. He'd missed conversations like these, venting ideas with Johnny, talking about what had happened, new things. He had only spoken to him on the phone about all that had happened during the storm, and he wasn't going to bring it up now either. He was certain Johnny didn't need the reminder. "New bathroom, prepare a room for Nessie for when she outgrows the nursery. I want to redo the whole backyard, make a patio. Make a space for Nora where she can retreat. Like a hobby room. Make her a wardrobe from wall to wall. Paint all the walls, maybe a new floor on the top floor. Fix the laundry room, make sure the washer and dryer are higher so we don't need to bend down every time. Things like that.. One by one, of course. I'm not going to live in a house that's one big home depot and unfinished projects." @johnnyxwagner

Johnny had to give Noah a lot of credit for returning and not seeking out employment upon his return. He imagined a day that he'd be able to do so himself, but he he hadn't got to that point in his life yet. However, with Noah home more, it gave Johnny more of an opportunity to pop over to see one of his best friends - especially when he asked. "Yeah, probably," he chuckled, sipping on the cup of coffee that was given to him. "What's your list so far?" @noahsinclaxr

[noahsinclaxr]

"Boston is not much different. You clean the curb in front of your house, it would be littered again within half an hour." A young Noah had been very frustrated about it, trying to make the house look presentable while his parents had been at the hospital with his little brother and it would be filthy again as soon as he turned around. "That it does. When my sister moved here years ago I already had a sense of a tight knit community. Which is why me and my wife eventually made the move ourselves." Raise their future children. That he was able to do that with Ines already was the best feeling in the world. "That's a given." He chuckled, catching the bottle of water which he opened, taking a sip from it. "You lived here long?" @counselorapollo

"Well, at least we live in a small town and not the city. You ever try cleaning a New York City street corner? We'd have double this amount in about 30 minutes." Apollo said, looking over at him. He grabbed what he hoped was a balloon before tossing it into the garbage bag. "I think it says a lot about the town, that everyone is willing to give up some of their time to make sure it continues to look good. Might even bring in some new residents if we can land on a magazine cover or something." Apollo laughed, tossing the man a bottle of water. "We could always use some fresh faces around here."

"You weren't leaving to where, bud?" Noah asked, slightly tilting his head. When he mentioned having been in the hospital he figured that must be what he meant and he nodded. "You could've called me if you had to. You know I always make time for you." He told his friend, placing his hand on his shoulder and gave it a firm squeeze. "And now? Any follow up?" @donnymorgan

Hearing what his oldest dear friend said he smiled. "Good... much better" he said looking at him. "I did... I had bad few weeks it got worse... I just wasn't leaving" he looked down. "I went into the hospital for about two weeks" he said but he was much better now. Donny did still wish it all didn't effect him so bad, but he knew everyone did deal with their own feelings and issues on their own their own ways. @noahsinclaxr

[noahsinclaxr]

"I know, I know. I'm making a bigger deal out of it than I should." Noah nodded, not wanting his mother-in-law to feel like he was complaining, because he wasn't. He was excited that he got to spend all of his time with his daughter, especially after having been gone more than half of her life already. He was excited because Nora got to pursue her dream, go back to school, become what she always wanted to be. He just had to adjust to the fact he had been going nonstop for the past six months. Waking up at 4 am, getting back to his apartment after 6 pm, eat, sleep and repeat it all over again, and now he had to search for things to do. "Sometimes I feel you give me too much credit. But thank you." He mused, glancing over at the baby monitor before he sat down. "Then we'll come. We'd love to see what you're all up to over there. And I'm sure Nessie will like being with you too." He could vaguely remember his grandparents. Had they been around when Johnny got sick, perhaps him and Mallory would've had more of a childhood themselves too. Yet he would never complain about that either. It had gotten him closer to his sisters, after all. "Time to get my arts and glitter on. I'm sure Nora would love the fridge decoration." @emilybowen

A small nod of her head was all that Emily mustered at first, offering her son in law a small smile indicating that she understood. She too often found herself restless for awhile when she had schedule changes or big life events; she'd felt as if she'd barely slept for months after all three of her children were born. And it wasn't just anxiety related lack of sleep either. "I know it's an adjustment to what you were just doing." she nodded. "And I'm sure it'll take some time to get used to it, but, I trust that you'll figure it out. And if not, you have all the people around you to support you in whatever you need." she smiled. "I know it's an adjustment, but if anyone can handle it I'm confident it's you." she winked at him, placing her knitting needle in her lap. "I would love that." she smiled. "I've been trying to get some crafts and some story time hours thrown together and I'd love it if you brought Nessie girl." she smiled. "I know she's too little to do it on her own, but, it would be something you could do with her, yeah?" @noahsinclaxr

[noahsinclaxr]

Noah looked at the man, an eyebrow arched at the referral to Rustica. He was already making a mental note not to suggest it to the wife for date nights then, unless it was for special occasions. "Jesus, okay, I'll bite, how much is it?" Noah inquired, knowing that he would be blown away nevertheless. After he had seen the European prices he was certain that America would always astound him. "Might have to opt for tax evasion at this point." @jeremyxlieberman

Jeremy was out on lunch and while he wanted something form the diner, he ended up going to the bistro; thinking he could use something a little healthier. He was checking a message he got on his phone when he heard the man next to him speak up and he looked up at the menu board. "You shouldn't go to Rustica then. You won't believe what a 6oz steak is there now." @noahsinclaxr
