a/n: "Falling Asunder" is sorta Post "Left Behind", it takes place after that fic so you should have read that before you read this—it'll make more sense that way. There are going to be some wrong turns in this one—like you should have read "Left Behind" first, but some thing may not seem consistent so just bear with me—this takes place about a few years after Kevin Lorne and Michael Westen returned to Earth.
"I know that is marked for who this fic is focused on, but that's only because of what the fic is based on as well as the fact that Kevin has that same last name and stuff. This is for the future, because in the sequel I think that I'm going to do the BN/SGA= EvanLorne + Michael.W crossover again, despite the fact that it will take place on Earth and Lorne will not be mention (I don't think) as well as I don't think that the SGC will be mentioned at all."
Falling Asunder
Chapter 1"
Kevin Lorne, after a few trials full of error and almost-hospital visits, had found a way of having sex without the possibility of dying. Though every time he did participate in the act, there was also the chance of that. Kevin was a man and like every man, he had needs. He was satisfied at first with simple masturbation, for which was very much hard to do with his heart condition; the fast beat of his heart, the pumping of his arms, the rush of blood going South—the whole needed his heart to pump faster which in itself was a danger to him. But he had mastered a pace that would both give him maximum pleasure and keep his heart rate steady.
He had used his time getting used to having a normal life out of the Air Force for that and the fact that he couldn't work just gave him the extra time that he needed.
Not long after that, Kevin had met a girl, Amy Hannigan—he was sure the woman of his dreams. They had gone out for at least four months before the finally had sex—and Kevin wasn't a bumbling virgin either, having had sex with a few girls his own age form the girl's home a few blocks away—but that didn't mean he had mastered the art of sex with his heart added as an unwanted bonus. The first time he had nearly passed out on top of her, not having had sex with a woman since he was eighteen and joined the Air Force.
Kevin had obviously told Amy as much as his background as he was able; that he and his commanding officer had an op. that had gone wrong and he ended up getting shot, and being discharged in the aftermath of it all. She had understood and actually seemed to love him more because of it. Not long after they moved into her apartment together, and by joining forces were able to master the art of love-making. Later he had purposed to her and they were husband and wife. With their combined income; Kevin's government pension and the check that Amy got from being a surgeon, they were able to buy a house.
And then one of the most amazing things in the world had happened to Kevin; Amy became pregnant with his son—something of his own flesh and blood was going to be entering the world. Soon, in nine months or so, he wasn't going to be alone anymore.
But soon after Devin Lorne was born, did things start to go from happy and loving, to betrayal and hate.
"State your case, Ms. Hannigan." the judge said.
"I don't trust him with my son." she spoke.
"What does that mean?" Kevin demanded.
She ignored him, "It was fine at first; when Devin was a few months old, Kevin could sit there with him, no harm no fowl. But now that Devin is older and he's starting to crawl, I fear for my son's safety."
Kevin looked at her aghast. "You're implying that I can't look after my own son because of my heart?"
Amy turned to him, her gaze frozen. "Having children is a very active lifestyle, Kevin, and as you doctors have said: that kind of activity is not recommended."
"I have no trouble taking care of our son."
"I'm not trying to hurt you, Kevin; I'm just trying to lookout for our son."
"What is this really about?" Kevin asked, already feeling his heart squeezing. "You're on on-call all hours of the day and well into the night, never knowing when you're going to be called into the hospital; I stay home all day and take care of our son, like an actual parent."
"Only because you can't work."
"I was injured in the line of duty, Amy! You know this and as a doctor you know the true condition of my heart. I can take care of Devin, and I don't know why you can't see that." his hand unintentionally went over his heart, his hand clenching the material.
"Kevin—it's happening right now, can't you see that this could endanger our son?"
"It's happening right now because you're trying to take my son away from me." Kevin said, growing paler by the minute. "You know how much he means to me, how much family means to me."
"But this isn't just about you; I'm thinking about our son."
"No, you're thinking about yourself, trying to take Devin's father away from him."
"I've heard enough," the judge interrupted. "I granting custody to Mrs. Hannigan; Mr. Lorne with have visitation rights with supervision." he banged his gavel and that was that.
Kevin was in shock, not able to decide which to focus his gaze of horror on; the judge or Amy, the women that he loved and who he thought loved him back. Slowly he stared to back down the isle, his heart beating painfully within his chest before he turned and fled. If anything he had to see his son again before they took him away. He couldn't believe that he wasn't trusted to be alone with his own son. That was his flesh and blood, Devin was a part of him—he was family and that was all the Kevin had ever wanted in his life—Family.
note: I hope you liked and were possibly intrigued by this first chapter. I know that the beginning was a little weird and that it just skipped to Kevin being in trial for custody over his son, Devin. Michael Westen is going to be in the next chapter and there on.
