Realistic or Modern I Choose Death Before Dishonor

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and hugged her tightly rocking her gently to try and calm her down. “Have you called the police?” She asked her quietly glancing over to see maya was looking like she was about to start screaming her little head off so she nodded towards the bag on the coffee table. “Bottle in there Chris.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max shook her head taking deep breaths "No they dont do missing people until its been 2 days." she said sniffling some "Oh god Scarlett what if he leaves me?" she whimpered starting to cry more at that thought

Chris got the bottle and walked out to heat it up with the little bottle heater his mom got for them. He smiled some and fed her smiling softly.

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett shook her head some. “He’s not gonna leave you sweetie. He loves you. He’s just not in his right mind at the moment.” She told her quietly. “Maybe we should call them just in case.” She suggested and went to do it for her getting that answer back though that once it’s been two days to give them another call.

-2 weeks-

Scarlett wandered around with Maya cuddled up in her arms trying to get her to go down for a nap and glanced over at Chris sighing heavily. “How late did she keep you up last night?” She asked him smiling sympathetically, glad he’d been so good about taking the night shifts a lot as well.

Jon had gone to scavenge for food and come across a group of people the day before. He knew he was in trouble after he fired shots at them and at the very least injured two of the people but he was still sticking hallucinating he was somewhere else and he was only getting worse especially with a lack of food.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max went around looking for Jon again for the fifth time that day. She took deep breaths and quickly pulled over when she heard the phone ring. She answered quickly hoping it was good news 'Mrs.Bernthal? We just got a discription of a man who has attacked a family that fits the one of your husband. We have units on the look out for him he was seen in the national forrest area.' she quickly hung up and rushed out to where she said he might be.

Chris smiled and yawned a bit adjusting his new leg some "Around 3?" he said giving a small laugh "Ugh this thing itches." he mumbled taking it off to leg his nub breath "Ive got training at 5 tomorrow by the way."

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and smiled at their little girl as she yawned big but was clearly trying to stay awake “Oh but you’re so sleepy pretty princess. Mommy loves you and she knows you need some sleep.” She cooed going to sit next to chris. “Training? What for?” She asked him quietly.

Jon was on high alert as he started hearing noises all around the area. His head however was turning those voices into the enemy that was trying to take him out, each time it came from a different direction he swung around to try and get to it, pointing the shotgun he had every which way.

The police had been looking for him for a good half hour when they seemed to finally be closing in, finding a large clearing and the helis had been picking up heat signatures from there so they headed in that direction. “Shit. Eyes up the wife has just arrived on the other side.” One of them called out as they closed in, each of them with a gun pointed at Jon.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Chris gave a small smile as Maya finally passed out in her arms "For my leg, just to get more used it. Its still a little uncomfortable." he explained happily. He was so happy to finally be able to walk without crutches.

Max ran through the woods calling out for him wherever he might be "Jon! Jon please!!" she called gasping as she saw him. She walked slowly to him taking a deep breath "Jon? Baby?" she asked going wide eyed as he fired hitting her directly in the gut "J-J-Jon?" asked before blood came out of her mouth and she fell to the ground.

 

[decadent-rider]

He looked around starting to freak out, not understanding what had happened. He didn’t know how he had got there or why his wife was on the ground bleeding but he certainly saw the cops surrounding him and he thought it was them that had shot her so he turned fire on them but only got a couple rounds out before he got hit twice through the chest and dropped to the ground looking over at max confused and disoriented and mostly scared before he blacked out not coming around until late that evening and tried to sit up but groaned unable to move at all seeing he was handcuffed to his bed and trying to work out how he had got there.

Scarlett nodded and gently lay Maya in her travel cot they kept downstairs then snuggled in close to chris. “I have so much housework but for now I just wanna cuddle my hubby.” She giggled.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Chris chuckled softly and smiled softly "Im okay with that, but I can do the chores babe you rest okay?" he said happily before he kissed her gently

The officer came in and took a deep breath "Mr. Bernthal you are under arrest for the assault of multiple officers." he said in a very calm voice before he explained everything that had happened and let him know he would be recieving the treatment he would need to help his mental conidtion.

 

[decadent-rider]

He just stared at him shocked, shaking his head. “I don’t remember doing any of it... where’s my wife? I need to see her!” He whimpered bedding max there now more than ever.

Scarlett smiled tiredly and rest her head against his chest. “Mmm... I knew I married you for a reason.” She teased just cuddling into him. “So how did job searching go yesterday?” She asked him quietly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

The officer shook his some "At the moment sir she is in a medically indused coma to assure she heals properly....they said its not looking well." he explained "I can get you an escorted visit if you're willing to cooperate." he said in the same calm voice.

Chris chuckled some and cuddled closer to her but frowned a bit as she asked about the job search "Two interviews....neither of them took me." he said softly shaking his head a bit "Its not like Im going for heavy lifting jobs you know? Theyre simple but good paying...I guess Im not qualified enough." he mumbled

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned running her fingers through his hair. “I think maybe you should ask them why they didn’t hire you... cause they have to give you the answer. They’re not allowed to discriminate.” She murmured smiling over as spud wandered down the stairs. “Come here puppy mommy wants cuddles from you.” She called to him but smiled watching him going to lay protectively in front of mayas cot.

Jon nodded quickly. “Yes. I promise. I just want to see my wife. Please.” He begged quietly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Chris nodded some and gave a small sigh "Yeah I will." he murmured. He was back to normal but this job situation was getting him down a bit, he was trying his best to keep positive though. He smiled at Spud and chuckled some "He has been like that, since I put the cot up."

The officer nodded and went to get his doctor. They helped him out of the room and handcuffed him to the wheelchair before getting him in Max's room. Her center was wrapped up and a tube was down her throat to keep her breathing properly while she was in her coma.

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon sat there watching his wife and burst into sobs taking her hand in his as best he could and sobbing into her bed. “I’m so sorry baby I’m so sorry!” He cried louder shaking and breaking down as he leaned on the bed

Scarlett nodded some. “I know you’re trying honey and that’s what matters.” She murmured cuddling into him. “He’s a good dog.” She murmured yawning some and rest her head into his chest some more yawning again and starting to fall asleep snuggled up close to him.

 

[Forever6A7X]

The detective sighed some and left him to his privacy but stood outside of the door asking the doctor if there was anyone they could call to make sure she was alright when Jon had to leave

Chris nodded some.and smiled as she started to fall asleep. He yawned some and started to dose off with her.

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett slept fairly well for a while until she heard maya waking up and she got up carefully to go tend to her. “Oh sweetie did you have a good nap?” She asked her kissing her head and smiling tiredly.

Jon frowned getting back to the room and asking to make a phone call once he was back in the bed all his energy gone as they were explaining to him he had been out for a day and that he had almost bled out although he was lucky the bullets had only gone through soft tissue. He called up chris with his head in his hand and swallowed hard terrified to explain it to him.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Chris groaned softly as he started to wake up hearing his phone go off. He answered it and let out a sigh of relief "Oh man Jon is it good to hear from you! Where have you been man?!" he asked happily but his happieness soon faded when he heard Jon explain everything that happened.

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett looked up hearing him say jons name and finished changing Maya’s diaper then headed in there cuddling her close while she watched chris carefully.

“I fucked up real bad this time chris.” He whimpered. “I’m going to prison. I’ve really hurt people.” He sobbed shaking like mad. “Max is here. I shot her chris. I shot my wife. I didn’t know it was her. I still don’t know what happened!” He sobbed breaking down and having to hang up.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Chris frowned not able to say anything before he had to hang up. He gulped some and looked at Scarlett "He....he shot Max....he doesnt know what happened." he explained taking a deep breath "He said he is going to prison because he hurt some people but he doesnt remember anything."

 

[decadent-rider]

“He What?!” She shrieked scaring maya by accident and trying to soothe her when she cried but she just wanted her daddy so she passed her over. “Shit.... just shit.” She muttered at a loss for words as she tried to process what was going on.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Chris nodded taking a deep breath as he calmed Maya down "Go see her, I have Maya I promise." he murmured as a tear fell down his cheek but he had no idea it was there

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded thanking him quietly and pecked his cheek then rushed off grabbing her keys on the way and headed out to go see her.

Jon lay there feeling numb to it all now when his lawyer walked in not paying any attention to him or even acknowledging his presence at all

 

[Forever6A7X]

The lawyer sat on the bed and sighed heavily "Jon....we need to do a plea of insanity. You weren't in your right mind and I know you wont be able to survive in prison with how severe your ptsd is. I want to take this to the highest court we can because from what your records show you shouldve never been sent on this recent mission." he explained

 

[decadent-rider]

“Whatever works.... but if my wife dies.... I will withdraw that plea and let them send me to prison. It’s where I deserve to be.” He muttered not looking at him just staring straight ahead still.

Scarlett showed up at the hospital and got to Max’s room sitting down and watching her worried, rubbing at her face and just staring at her. She hated that the two of them were having to go through this especially after everything else. She felt she couldn’t blame Jon though. They all knew he hadn’t been right in the head enough to send back out in the first place.

 

[Forever6A7X]

-3 days-
The doctors stood in Max's room making sure to take precautions to get her out the coma and take the tube out of her throat. About an hour later Max fluttered her eyes open and glancing around. She gasped softly as she saw Jon and quickly reached for him "Jon....oh god youre okay." she whimpered

Chris sat outside Max's room with Scarlett letting her and Jon have their last minutes before they took him away today. He smiled some as Maya slept in her carrier quietly.

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett frowned watching them carefully rubbing at her face just glad to see max awake again.

Jon frowned shaking unable to reach her hand as his were both handcuffed behind his back as he sat down next to her on the bed trying to not cry. “Hey beautiful.... I’m so sorry. I’m so so sorry.”
