Tumblr media
A few weeks after everyone knew you were pregnant there were lots and lots of guesses of what the twins were, everyone particularly managed to gift lots of clothes, or any baby essentials. Your experience was so far okay..tho at night you’d wake joão up due to lower back pain. Some days there were fun days, some days there weren’t. whenever you watched the matches along with joão the team always made sure to feel you safe, especially since you werent much of an out going person now that you had twins living in your womb.
A week ago you had just finished putting up the cribs with the help of joão, now you two were currently at your checkup. you were currently 20 weeks pregnant.
“look at them..” you said, he was holding your hand in awe looking at his babies through the screen. how much they’ve grown, or how they were kicking and moving around. “they’re very active right now..” the doctor said slightly laughing, “is that a good thing?” He said concerned, “possibly a good thing, the twins are soon to end up getting in their birthing position!” she said moving the device around, “they already formed their eyes, their arms and legs too. they can hear you already so that explains the kicking..” she said happily, you looked at the monitor as the doctor began printing the copies of the ultrasound.
“i have their genders here..will you two like to know now..? or..” she said, liliana stood up. “i’ll take them! these two have a lot in their plate right now so..!” she said giggling, you smiled before she opened the letter, her eyes widened and her mouth dropped. you and joão laughed at her reaction, you could tell it was going to be a very very big surprise.. meanwhile the doctor began wiping the gel off, you looked at joão before she began to speak, “y/n may start experiencing more back pain..in these cases a birthing ball could be the solution.. it’ll help her slightly, it’s never going to be straight to labor. they’ll come in and go. On the bright side the twins will be put by the end of your third trimester!” she said, you gulped.
you sat up as joão helped you, you nodded your head. “after all..that should be it! if anything just give me a call or message, best of luck!” she said smiling walking out the room.
joão took the ultra sound photos from your hand, you giggled. “emocionado con tus bebés?” (happy with your babies?) you said swinging your legs, he nodded his head kissing your cheek. “si..cuándo sabemos..” (yes..when do we find out..) he said, you looked at liliana. “i’ll find a day, i havent planned out yet how to so, me and fermin will get to planning.” she smiled, you carefully got off the bed, joão held your hand as the three of you walked out the building. “los miró pronto! adios!” (i’ll see you soon! bye bye!) she said waving at you two, you waved back before she left. joão and you walked over to the car, he opened the door for you as you slid in sitting down on the seat.
he kissed your cheek, closing the door walking over to his side getting in the car turning it on, you poked your belly again earning a kick. “your babies kick very hard..” you said, he chuckled. “i know..i’m such a good kicker myself.” he said, you giggled, “what do you want to do when we get home, we have all day and i do not know when she’ll be doing the reveal..” he said, you twiddled with your fingers thinking, “um..well, we haven’t gotten the car seats for them..we havent gotten the sizes of the diapers yet..um, we’re missing a lot..” you said sighing loudly, he looked at you. “hey it’s okay, we’ll get half of it done today, then by the gender reveal we’ll possibly get more stuff thrown at us and then from there, we’ll pick up on what we need to take.” he said caressing your hand.
“w-we haven’t even packed up the bag yet!” you said whining, “look at me..” he said as you looked at him, “this wont be as perfect baby, we both know it from now on. this is your first time carrying a baby, your only 3 months away from that day. we’ll get everything done soon, trust me. we just take our steps okay? slowly.” he said, you nodded your head before he kissed your cheek, then kissing you as you kissed back. he continued kissing you, lips syncing with yours. “miss you..” he said in between, you giggled pulling away. “maybe when we get home.” you whispered against his lips, he bit your lip as you giggled again. “fine, don’t lie tho.” he spoke kissing your forehead, “we’re here by the way..” he said, you unbuckled your seatbelt before getting out. he chuckled at how quick you got out, doing the same thing.
meanwhile in the store..
“what sizes do they even need..” he said, you snickered looking at him. “size zero baby..” you said attempting to grab the box, joão pulled you away grabbing it for you. “hey!” you frowned, he chuckled. “your tummy will hurt baby..” he said as you nodded, the two of you walking to the stroller area. “do we need one-“ he said you shook your head quickly, “n-not yet..we need the car seats tho..” you said, he pushed the cart to the other isle. “so which one are we getting..” he said, you looked around shrugging. “want to wait after the gender reveal?” he said, you nodded your head. “it’s better for now i guess..let’s just go pay..” he said as the two of you walked to the self checkout.
he paid for the stuff before the two of you walked out he looked at you, “whats wrong?” he said, you looked at him shaking your head. “n-nada..” you spoke, little did you know. your heart and mind was stuck on the little makeout that had happened, he opened the trunk putting the stuff in the back, “you’re never this quiet..what’s wrong?” he said, you sighed going inside the car and into your seat. he tilted his head furrowing his brows walking to the driver side, sitting down on his seat. “y/n, you can talk to me about it, what’s wro-“ he tried speaking, your kiss shutting him up, he cupped your cheek kissing you back. you continued kissing him, your hand holding the back of his neck pulling him closely.
you continued kissing him, his hand traveling to your ass, while his lips began tracing down to your neck. he began kissing and slipping his tongue onto your skin, you moaned softly holding onto his shoulder, “someones going to see..mmngh..us..” you said, he pulled off after sucking on your skin. you frowned staring at him, “joão, if its a hickey i swear to god.” you said, he giggled. “check for yourself missy, it is a piece of artwork.” he spoke, turning the car on as you lowered the top opening the small cover you the mirror, “seriously.” you said looking at him, he smirked. “i had toooo..” he said in a teasingly tone before driving off.
“how are the babies..” he said, you poked your stomach waiting for some sort of movement as you shook your head. “sleeping, let them sleep..” you said giggling, his hand resting on your thigh. “why do we always have sex..” he sighed out, you snickered. “obviously cause you can’t seem to handle your little problems, you get out of hand when it comes to kissing anddd hormones too..besides its only been a month since the last sex we had, you’ll be okay.” you said, looking at the ultra sound photos. “they’re so tiny..” you whispered, he looked at the photos. “the babies?” he spoke forwning, “they got it from their mommy for sure.” he murmured, you smacked his thigh. “stop being mean.”
you put the photos back in your purse, you looked at him holding his hand he chuckled, “whats up now?” He said interlocking his hands with yours, you shook your head, “nothing..just..wanting you..” you spoke, he looked at you, “are we this impatient?” he spoke tilting his head, you shook your head smiling. “maybeeee…maybeee not..” you spoke, your hands traveling to his bulge in his pants. “don’t do it y/n.” he said glancing down at your palm, you pouted. “pleaseee..” you said, he smacked your hand off. you held your hand against your chest, he chuckled, “we’re home in 10 minutes babe, you can wait.” he said, you nodded your head as his hand went back to resting on your thigh.
“im bored tho..” you said looking at him, “what do u mean now..” he said looking back at you for a second, grabbing the remote opening the garage, you looked at him. you then looked away looking at the window ignoring his tone, “nevermind..” you said smiling slightly at him, he frowned. “are you sure? you can tell me anything..” he said, you shook your head before opening the door and getting out the car the second he finished parking, he furrowed his brows tilting his head. you went inside as he followed you, you went upstairs into the room and plopped yourself down on the bed.
he looked at you, turning around back facing to him ignoring him. he stood by the door looking at you sleep, you were fake sleeping as you heard him leave downstairs, you opened your eyes slightly sitting, you took them off before tip toeing to the window pathio. you slightly opened the door looking down at the pool, you saw joão in the water before you went back inside. The curtains flowing through the wind, you went to the bathroom changing into a pair of shorts leaving your oversized shirt on, going downstairs.
you quietly walked outside to the backyard, “what are you doing..” you softly spoke, he turned around looking at you. “nothing..” he said, you frowned. he looked up at you, “you look so pretty from up there..” he spoke turning around back against the wall of the pool, you giggled pulling your shorts down, tossing them somewhere on the concrete as you pulled up your shirt taking it off, your matching white pink floral set now exposed. you noticed his breathing increasing heavily, his eyes looking down at your boobs. “since when did you..” you got in the water, moving next to him wrapping your arms around his neck. “hmm?” you said tilting your head, “..when did you buy this..” he said looking down at the mesh material again, his hand caressing your breast. “..that’s a secret..” you spoke quietly, batting down your eyelashes innocently looking up at him, “remember you still owe me..” he said, you looked up at him cupping his cheek.
“i know..”
you spoke softly caressing his cheek, he leaned in kissing you. you giggled kissing back, his lips moving against yours. your hand moving its way to the back of his neck, fingertips running up his hair. he continued kissing you, his hands traveling to your ass, a small moan slipping through your mouth. he picked you up, your leg’s wrapping around his waist, he sat you on the concrete of the pool. you continued kissing him, his lips burried into your neck. you leaned your head to the side, his free hand pulling your thong to the side, his fingers rubbing in between your clit. you moaned softly, your hand holding onto his bicep, he sucked onto your skin on another area or your skin. your moans slipping out second by second, he rubbed in between the knib, finger near your hole.
you became impatient moving your hand off his bicep, your hands trailing down to the waistband of his shorts, you slightly pulled them off, hand finding his throbbing cock as your thumb ran over the tip. he whimpered at the unexpected touch, a small giggle coming out of you before you began pumping him into your palm. his fingers sliding inside you once you stroked him, you moaned again leaning your head to the side, your back arching feeling his slender fingers thrust slowly into you.
your palm continued to stroke him, his groans in your ear slowly turning into moans. you continued moaning at the thrusts of his fingers, your hand speeding up faster. his left hand roaming to your bra, he looked at you. he wanted to just unclip the lingerie top off you but at the same time, you looked.. adorable. you continued moaning, his fingers curling up inside you causing you to moan loudly. “m..more..” you whimpered out, before his left hand squeezedyour bra. you whimpered in between your moans throwing your head back, “how gorgeous of you taking my fingers in..” he whispered, pacing up the speed of his thrusts. you let out a whiny moan gripping onto his wrist, your hand stopped palming him as the distractions of the pleasure caught onto you.
“look down..” he whispered in your ear, you gulped nodding your head. you looked down at the water watching his fingers slid out of you, you felt your cheeks burning up at the embarrassment, your face all flushed with pink cheeks. “s-seriously!” you said, he chuckled kissing your forehead still thrusting his fingers into you. your moans getting whiny signaling him, “what’s up now baby?” he said tilting his head, you looked up at him whining. “m-more..” you said, he smiled softly. his fingers directly curling into your g-spot making you gasp out a moan, “yes..! r-right..r-right th..there!” you moaned out, he chuckled thrusting quickly into your g-spot. your moans turning into cries, your breathing turning into pants. your hands gripping onto the walls of the pool, your legs slightly opening up more.
“close to cumming amor?” he spoke, you nodded your head quickly. your head leaning back, moaning loudly feeling yourself close. your orgasms were quicker, technically another thing that threw you off during the pregnancy but as long as you and joão enjoyed yourselves then things were perfectly fine.
you gripped onto the walls tighter as he leaned closer to you, kissing you. you kissed back muffling your moans into his lips, his lips moving against yours, you pulled away in the middle moaning and panting, “let go..” he whispered against your lips. and just wih that.. you released yourself onto his fingers with a gaspy moan, your head resting on his shoulder after coming down. he kissed your forehead, rubbing your back. “a-another one..” you murmured, his eyes widened. “a-are you s-sure?” he gulped, you looked up at him, eyes all flushed as you nodded your head. you turned to look at the hot tub, your breathing heavy you couldn’t really speak so you pointed at the other small pool. he looked at you, “you sure?” he said, you nodded your head. he chuckled before picking you up, your legs now resting on the cold water making you slightly moan.
he chuckled, placing you on the cold surface of the square tiles. you moaned again feeling the cold touch your bottom, he looked at you sitting down before you pulled off your thong. he watched the lace floral string strip down your leg to your ankle, he gulped, his breathing increasing as you watched his chest rise up and down. you giggled, “come onnnn…” you said giggling before going down in the water, he sat on the tiles. you looked up at him, your arms resting on the tiles as you laid your head on your hands. “aw look how small you look down there..” he said, you rolled your eyes. “you’re not funny.” you said scoffing, he chuckled before you looked down at his shorts, he was still hard. definitely aching, you moved away from the tiles. your hand rested on his thigh looking up at him, he looked down at you.
“what’s up tiny baby?” he said, you looked down at his shorts. he looked at you realizing what your eyes were asking for, his eyes widened, “no y/n, you’re not going to.” he said you whined, “why not! other women do it in their pregnancy probably, i’m possibly not the only one!” you whined tugging on his shorts, his eyes widened. “you sure this will be a good idea for you? and the twins?” he said, you nodded your head with a smile, he chuckled watching you pull his shorts down. you grabbed his length again into your hand, you gulped kitty licking the tip. he shuddered at the feeling of your wetness, you swirled your tongue around the tip in circles licking off the pre-cum oozing out his cock. he groaned before you wrapped your mouth around the tip, tongue still swirling around him. his hand holding your cheek, you looked up at him as you took him in.
he moaned once you took his length halfway in, you bobbled your head slowly. your hand wrapping around what was left that you couldn’t take, he bit down on his lip watching you suck him. His hand ran inside your hair shifting it into a ponytail, your eyes began to water at the friction in your throat. he moaned once you began to slightly bobble your head quickly, you felt the bubbly feeling in your stomach hearing his moans and watching his facial expressions. You moaned happily around him still bobbing your head, “fuck..k-keep g..going..” he stuttered out between his moans, holding onto the back of your head guiding you through.
he continued moaning, the sounds echoing through the backyard. your cheeks flushing red at how impatient you were getting and how badly you already wanted him in, your pupil’s getting darker as he whimpered looking down at you. “s-so pretty..” he moaned out, you giggled between. you were particularly already drooling, spit was falling off your chin and on the sides of your lip. you bobbled your head quicker, the noise of you slurping on your saliva causing him to slightly hitch out a chuckle. his hand gripped onto your head, your hand holding what you couldn’t take slowly starting to stroke his length while your mouth did the job. “m-my gosh..i could just cum w-watching..y-you..” he moaned out, your vision now going blurry from the tears filling in.
he suddenly twitched inside your mouth, you pushed your head deeply, nearly taking him fully in. his back slightly arched moaning loudly, you swirled your tongue around letting your mouth rest but your tongue. his hand squeezing your ass, your cheeks were hot and red, why was that? the small praises he kept letting out between his moans. You raised your mouth up to the top, sucking around the tip. “o-oh fuck-“ he moaned out, as warm spurts of cum shot into your mouth. you swirled your tongue around, sucking up what was left before moving your mouth away with a ‘pop’ he breathed heavily as you pulled back, you sticked your tongue out giggling. he chuckled watching you swallow the rest of it in. “told you, good idea.” you smiled.
he rolled his eyes, you sat next to him on the tiles. he looked at you, “can’t get enough of you..” he sighed out, cupping your cheek kissing you again. you kissed him back, his hand holding your waist. You giggled between the kiss, your hand resting ontop of his dick, he bit on your lip signaling to stop. you winced before he pulled away, you looked at him. “let me guess..” he said chuckling, you frowned. “can we..pleasee..” you whined, his eyes widened. “you’re not exhuasted?” he spoke caressing your cheek, you shook your head. “y’sure you want to continue?” he said, you nodded your head again. he held your waist, “turn around..” he whispered, you nodded before you turned around. he spat down onto his member stroking himself, he let out a small groan kissing your shoulder. his hand holding your waist as he pushed himself inside your hole.
you rolled your eyes at the sudden pleasure stretching you out deliciously, you looked back before he began to slowly thrust into you. you bit down on your lip holding your moans, joão began groaning into your ear. you blushed heavily, you lowered your head slightly jolting forward due to his thrusts, your cheeks were already flushed, “want m-me..to move q-quicker?” he moaned out, you nodded your head in response as his hand squeezed your ass. you whimpered—moaning the second his cock began pulsating quickly against you. your hands holding onto the tiles, your moans slightly louder than joãos. you leaned your head back moaning uncontrollably, he kept whispering, “you’re doing so good”, “i love you” in your ear, He kissed your neck attempting to cover his noises. you struggled breathing as joão chuckled, “too much now?” he spoke, you whimpered shaking your head. “n-no! f-feels s..so..fucking g-good!” you moaned out, he chuckled.
suddenly he stopped, you whined looking at him, “why’d you sto-“ you yelped when he picked you up, you looked down as he got out the pool walking over to the small sofa area, he placed you down, your ass nearly hanging out the edge. “what’s this..” you said tilting your head, he threw both your legs on each of his shoulder, you bit your lip giggling. he slipped himself in, and without a warning began thrusting quickly again. you moaned loudly, his hand coming in contact with your mouth, your moans being muffled. “shh..shhh..they’ll hear us, you don’t want that right?” he spoke tilting his head, his hair being damped making you squeeze around him, you nodded your head to his question as he continued thrusting into you. The new position making you close your eyes shut, just seconds ago it wasn’t too much..
“mmhmmngh..m..more..” you moaned out, his thrusts making you dizzy, he chuckled thrusting harder into you. You cried out into his hand, opening your eyes—you looked up at him holding his hand, moving it off your mouth. “a-am..not th..that l-loud..” you panted out, he chuckled leaning closer to you. your knees now bending against the sides of his chest, “i-i know..” he said kissing you deeply, you kissed back cupping his cheeks. your moans and his whimpers sounding so messy, the kiss itself was messy and sloppy. his hand held your thigh, your moans slipping out milliseconds after each thrust he did into you, your hands cupped his cheek tightly before you pulled away, he rested his head against yours. you jolted forward within every thrust, “you’re doing s-so good..” he moaned out, you blushed heavily, your hand caressing his hair. his hand pulling down your bra, your boob popping out the material. distracted by the pleasure— he squeezed your breast, a whiny moan slipping out of you. his mouth sliding down above your breasts, sucking around the skin. your head tilted to the side, “t-too m..much..” you sighed out shakily.
“j-just a little..more baby..” he kissed your cheek, you giggled between your moans cupping his cheek kissing him, he kissed back smiling against your lips. You continued to kiss him, lips syncing with his, your moans muffling with his. you squeezed around him whining in between, he moaned feeling you tighten, his pace going in faster than he was. you moaned uncontrollably, pulling away from the kiss trying to catch your breath. you looked at him, “i-i..” you tried to speak, he caressed your head, tilting his head finding a deeper spot to thrust in. you gasped loudly, moaning louder he covered your mouth again. “s-shhh..” he said, your eyes heavy as tears filled in. “m-mmhmn!” you shut your eyes again, hands placed on the side of the white sofa. he held your hand leaning closely to you, “hey..” he murmured, you were in another state of mind. it had felt as if yourself just, went away. the pleasure was already too much for you to handle, especially with twins. “look at me baby..” his fingers caressed your cheek, your eyes gazed into his.
he smiled wiping the tears off your eye. he continued thrusting into you deeply, you felt yourself near the edge. “t..taking my cock so well..” he moaned out, you were moaning uncontrollably nearly breathless—his hands placed next to you looking down at you, “let go again baby..” he said, slightly lifting you up by your lower back, the new angle making you moan louder. “o-oh joão!” you screamed out, you gushed around him letting go of your orgasm, hitting you like a tidal wave. your eyes rolled back as you were shaking, your squeezing mess triggering his orgasm to burst inside you. he kissed your forehead, resting his head against yours. you gulped, feeling dizzy—everything was spinning, he fell next to you. you shut your legs to not spill anything out, you hummed slightly moaning, he sat up looking at you. you were looking away, you struggled keeping your eyes open as you were looking at the water, joão pulled you carefully towards him. your head turned to look at him, “h-hm..?” you said, he shook his head kissing your cheek.
“did i go to hard on you?” he said, you shook your head smiling softly at him, “n-no..probably the last time we have sex tho..” you said giggling, he smiled kissing your cheek again. “i don’t care, we both needed it..” he said, you smiled. “thank you..” you murmured, resting your head on his chest. you slowly began to fall asleep, “no, no, come on..” he said, you whined shaking your head. “i-it’s so comfy tho..” you murmured, his hand began tracing lines on your back. “let’s go shower then get going to sleep baby..” he said, you rolled your eyes. he chuckled getting up as you sat up looking at him, he picked you up again. you giggled resting your head on his chest again.

after a short quick shower..
“really..you had to pick the small little dress for me to sleep in..” you said, he nodded his head. “whattt..just one last time before your due soon..” he said, you giggled putting the small silk teddy pink dress on. he smiled kissing your forehead, you limped to the bed, laying down on your spot. suddenly feeling a kick again, “joãoooo..the babies are awakeeee..” you said teasingly, he looked at you, walking over to the bed then laying next to you. he rested his head on your belly, “what do you think they are..” you said playing with his hair, he chuckled. “easy..girls..” he said, you rolled your eyes playfully. “whatt..they’re kicking a lot by the way..” he said, sneaking his head under your dress. you blushed heavily, “mommy thinks you two are a girl and boy..but daddy thinks you two are girls..” he said, you giggled. “daddy also says you two are going to be very tiny..” he said, you whined. “leave them alone baby!” you said, he chuckled kissing your bump before popping out your dress.
“has she texted you about the gender yet?” he said, you shook your head. “no..not yet..probably will later on..” you said, he rested his head on your belly again. you smiled softly, “can we sleep..plea-“ a chime distracted you as you turned to face your nightstand grabbing your phone, “liliana just texted me..and it’s only..12:36am..” you spoke, joão snickered. “..you know what am thinking..” he said looking up at you, you giggled smacking his head playfully. “you’re such a dirty boy..let them be..” you spoke, the sounds of your nails tapping on the keyboard screen. he shoved his head back in your dress, he kissed your bump again, moving his hand around looking for the twins. “she just said that she has the things ready for the gender reveal..” you spoke tapping on his head, he popped out again looking up at you. “when exactly?” he said, you giggled looking at your phone again. “nevermind, she said she’s not telling anybody not even us..” you said, he looked at you. “i’m sure it’ll be anyday, don’t worry..” he said, you smiled.
he kissed your forehead, “..also, i have a match next week, i believe on sunday.” he said, you nodded your head. “i’ll be there..” you said, he smiled kissing your forehead, you giggled, “by the way my mon will be there too” he spoke, you kissed his cheek, “now let’s sleepp..pleasee..” you said, he nodded his head. he laid next to you, you rested your head on his chest. “we’re watching finding nemo by the way.” he mumbled, you rolled your eyes. “seriously!” you said, he chuckled kissing your cheek.
approximately the next week..
it had been 7 days since finding out, now you were sitting in the stands of a barçelona vs atletico de madrid match right next to liliana and next to you as well was joãos mother. “no te duele?” (does it hurt?) his mom spoke, you shook your head. “poquito..” (just a bit..) you said, the lower back pain was slightly catching up to you. for the past days, the nights were getting more comfortable to sleep. you even had to get joão to help with your back, or even get out the bed. “ya tienen nombres?” (do y’all have names?) she spoke, you shook your head. “no, todavia no..” (no, not yet..) you said, suddenly the stands began getting loud, liliana shook your arm. “look, look!” she said, you watched joão kick the ball into the net, the cheers and screams of the goal of your boyfriend, you were holding onto lilianas arm. The small celebration he did for you and the babies, you felt the waterworks coming in, liliana bursted out laughing. “don’t cry! it’s okay..!” she said wiping your tears away.
in the meantime you were followed by a few kicks thrown around in your womb, a small gasp slipping out your mouth at the last harder kick. “kicking?” she spoke, you nodded your head. “i’m pretty sure they’re happy..” she said, you giggled before sitting down.
after a bunch of cheers and celebrations, the fulltime left off with 3-0. two goals from your boyfriend, one from fermin, obviously had liliana screaming in joy. now you and joão were down in the pitch, you looked up at him as he kissed your forehead. “how do you feel?” he said, you smiled. “good, they kicked a lot throughout the game, maybe a few tears from your celebrations..” you said, he chuckled rubbing your back. “i’ll be back, fermin needs me to go check up on him on something..!” liliana spoke, you furrowed your brows. “don’t take too long on whatever lils!” You spoke as she nodded her head, “i won’ttttt!” she said running off into the locker rooms.
“what’s her deal?” he said, you smacked his arm. “dont be mean, as if you wouldn’t do the same.” he chuckled, “mmmhm..my jersey looks so adorable on you.” he said, you blushed heavily. “mmm reallyy..” you said, he nodded his head. his finger tucked the strand of hair behind your ear, you hugged him resting your head on his chest. “i’m proud of you..” you murmured, he smiled before you heard liliana screaming out your name through the tunnels. you saw fermin and liliana holding two big balloons, you looked up at joão. “surprise!” She said, your eyes widened. “we’re doing it here!?” you said, she nodded her head quickly. “everybody wants to know as well what baby sequeira is..soo..” she said smiling, you walked over holding the balloon, “white?” you said she nodded her head, “once you pop them the color comes out,” she said handing you the balloon before you saw fermin hand joão the balloon. “wait what do we pop them with!?” you said confused, she ran over to you giving you the pin.
“pop them at the same time!” she said, you started tearing up. joão looked at you, “don’t cry..if they’re not girls then it’s okay baby..” he said kissing your head, you nodded your head.
“on three..”
“one..”
“two..”
“three!”
he said before you both popped them at the same time, you flinched at the sound. the pink confetti and powder dusting into the air, the noises of the cheers from the stands while you were too entertained with the pink dust in the air. everyone had ran to joão congratulating him, joão hugged you kissing your head. tears kept flowing out of your face, “we’re having twin girls..” he murmured while you sniffled looking up at him, you smiled nodding your head. “m-mhm..” you said, he kissed you wiping your tears away with his thumb as you kissed back. he pulled away caressing your cheek, “why are you crying..” he said, you sniffled again. “i-it’s just hormones..” you said, joão smiled holding your bump. “two little princesses..” he murmured.
you giggled cupping his cheeks as you went in your tippy toes, kissing him passionately. he kisses back cupping your cheek, you smiled in between the kiss before you pulled away. “i’ll see you in a bit, stay with liliana and my mom, okay?” He said you nodded your head, he lowered down to peck your stomach. you giggled watching him walk away, liliana ran over to you. “two baby girls, aren’t you excited!?” she said, you nodded your head smiling. “he could not shut up about two baby girls..” she rested her hand around your bump, earning a bunch of kicks. “they’re really active, how do you tell which one is going to be which one?” she said, you shrugged. “am not sure..they can hear tho..” you said giggling.
after conversations with liliana and joãos mother..
“when are you exactly due?” his mother said, “once i hit 35 weeks..so possibly near the end of the 8 months..currently 3 months away.” you said smiling, the three of you were walking out the stadium to the parking lot. you winced in pain, stopping your movements from walking. “what’s wrong?” liliana said, you shook your head. “just a contraction..” you winced out, she tilted her head. “do you need to-“ she said before you shook your head moaning in pain, “n..no..they happen a-a lot now just for awhile..” you said, she held you by your waist walking you carefully to the car, “just breathe through your mouth, it’s okay..” she said, you nodded your head. you heard conversations coming through the locker rooms, joão hurriedly ran to you. he looked at you, “is she okay?” he said, you nodded your head. “i-i’m fine, just those cramps the doctor said..” you spoke, slightly standing up. he held your hand smiling, before pecking your cheek.
you and joão were now in the car after the goodbyes and the congratulations from the rest of the team, joão held your thigh looking at you. “soo..what names are we thinking of..” he said, you giggled shrugging. “i’m not sure..what do you think baby..” you said looking at him. “hmm..i have a few..” he spoke, his hand gliding to your bump again. “are they asleep?” he said, you nodded your head. “yea..we were out for awhile..” you said, he chuckled parking the car.
you went inside waiting for joão before he picked you up, you shrieked looking up at him, he smiled. “whattt..i had too..” he said, you rolled your eyes playfully before he walked upstairs to the room, placing you down. you walked to the closet, joão following you as he watched you roam through the closet. “you’re so small.” he said, you looked at him before taking your shirt off frowning, “i know, now hush.” you said, “um, can you help me..” you said, he turned around nodding his head. “bra?” he said, you nodded your head. he went behind you unclamping the bra, you held onto it before looking at him. “turn around, i know how you get.” you said as he rolled his eyes turning around, he was now facing your side of the closet. you had snatched one of joãos white tees, putting it on before you pulled off your pants. “you can look now..” you said, he smiled turning around.
“i dont get why you dont want me to see when you change..” he said, you frowned. “because you immediately start touching them and squeezing them and saying silly things.” you said walking over to him kissing his cheek, he slapped your ass as you walked out the closet into the bedroom. you plopped yourself carefully on the bed. “joão, we need to pick names for the twins..” you said, he poked his head out looking at you. “i’ll be there..” he walked out crawling on the bed before crawling to you, he hovered above you as you looked up at him. “wha-“ you spoke before he placed his lips on yours, lips dancing with yours. you kissed back syncing your lips with his, your hands cupping his cheek.
“j-joão..” you said in between, he continued kissing you. “shhh..” he spoke in the middle of the kiss, you giggled before he pulled away. “okay! names, now that these two little ones are on their way..” he said cupping your bump, you smiled. “hmm..i’ll say two..then you say two..” you spoke, he nodded his head holding your hand as you sat up. “okay..how about..elena and naomi..” you said, he smiled. “those are adorable..what about..rosalie and naomi..” he said, you giggled. “they’re very pretty names..i like rosalie..” you said, he giggled before ducking down. he shoved his head inside your shirt, you blushed heavily. “wakee uppp..” he said poking your bump, he chuckled the second your stomach twitched. “what do you two think..rosalie or naomi.. or elena and naomi..” he waited for a response, obviously a small kick. “they’re not answering..” he whined, you giggled. “maybee they want you to be nicer..” you said giggling, he huffed out before kissing your bump.
“mommy and daddy already planned out names..what do you two think..” he said, earning a kick making you gasp at the slight pain. “both of them are awake..” you said, he chuckled kissing your bump again. “mommy thinks elena and naomi..what do you babies think..” he said, you giggled after a small moment of silence. “i dont think they like it baby..” you said, he rolled his eyes. “okayyy..what do you princesses think about rosalie and naomi..” he spoke, two kicks to your stomach making you giggle. “i think that’s a yes..” you said, he chuckled kissing your bump again.
“..now goodnight, daddy loves y’all..”

We watched Emotion today. Aka, Fèlix's mental breakdown episode also featuring the weird Diamond Dance that feels like a cult meeting, but apparently isn't.
My SO was highly critical of the Diamond Dance's lackluster security. For an event of that caliber, security would be required to memorize the guest's faces to prevent interlopers. Marinette would never get in the door.
I was highly critical of the Diamond Dance in general because it and previous episodes (ex: Gabriel Agreste) implied that there was some sort of rich people conspiracy, but that never materialized, so on a rewatch, it just feels stupid. What was the in-universe point of this dance? What did previous dances look like if Kagami and Adrien only met this year, but were supposedly meant to be all along? Why waste production money having someone model this room? Nothing about this makes sense and it's clear that the writers put no thought into the lore of this world.
Moving on!
SO thought that Felix was Adrien acting under a senticommand to woo Kagami which is actually not an unreasonable assumption. It would have been an interesting twist, but then the show would have had to acknowledge just how messed up the sentistuff is and they're never going to do that. SO only got that it was Felix when Felix suggested leaving.
Marinette sneaking into the party instead of just texting Adrien like a normal teenager (or waiting until the next time she saw him) was painful to watch. She's supposed to be clever! Why in the world would she think that crashing the party was a good idea??? Who would see this as a romantic move? Writers, are you okay? The more you try to write the Adrienette romance, the more concerned I get. If that had actually been Adrien and not Felix, then this whole scene would have fallen apart. It's a clear example of writing for drama instead of writing logical characters.
When we saw Felix create Red Moon, I was asked to explain how sentimonsters work and, honey, I don't even think the writers know that. I have no idea how sentimonsters are an emotion brought to life while not appearing to have anything to do with emotions. And - in the case of the sentitriplets - somehow having a full range of emotions instead of just the one they're tied to. Akumas are more tied to emotions than sentimonsters (which is part of the reason why the peacock's power is so bland and derivative, but that's a rant for another day.)
SO is very sad that the cute bug girl & cat boy show is so poorly written and sees why I found this season depressing. He's seen that since Derision, but the more we learn about the sentistuff, the sader he gets because Adrien can never be free now.
We're both fans of narratives about abuse victims escaping abuse and finding freedom, but Adrien will never have true freedom. He'll always have to be paranoid about his rings. I can just picture his future kids wanting to go in the ocean with him and he can't because then he'd risk losing his rings and it's not like he can take them off and leave them behind! They're not even safe from theft when he's wearing them (thanks for establishing that Felix)! Just what an awful, awful thing to do to a person.
My SO and I enjoy family-oriented shows specifically because shows aimed at adults are often depressing. Family shows are supposed to be a way for us to relax because we know that good with triumph and that the ending will be happy, but ever since season four, Miraculous is the worst of both worlds! They keep introducing serious, depressing elements and then not exploring them or outright ignoring them because those things don't suit the intended tone of the show.
Miraculous never needed to be deep. I never wanted it to be deep. And it's not deep. It's as shallow as a puddle of water, but the writers clearly think that they're being deep and it's painful.
For example, this episode shows all of the rich kids at the Diamond Dance being selfish and rude because that's totally why people don't like the uber wealthy! They're all meany pantses! It's certainly got nothing to do with the 1% using their money to hurt the planet or manipulate society or cause housing crises or anything like that!
But we can't talk about those issue because this episode features Zoe, Felix, Adrien, Kagami, Chloe, Marinette, and Lila. Only two of those characters aren't uber wealthy (as far as we know) and implying that special babies Zoe, Felix, Adrien, and Kagami are part of The Problem is just not going to happen.
To be clear, I don't think that a bunch of 13 and 14-year-olds are actually part of The Problem, but if you want to address the issues with uber wealth and you've decided to make a bunch of your characters part of the uber wealthy, then those characters need to have or develop an understanding of the problem and a desire to change it once they're old enough to do so. They're not doing that in this show. They've just made it that wealth is some sort of meanness disease that the special babies didn't catch for some reason and it's asinine.

Bringing Good Tidings, Part 4: Epiphany
Here it is! Sorry for it being so late! This is the final part of a 4-part collab by myself and @endlessly-cursed, featuring characters by her as well as characters from @camillejeaneshphm and @that-scouse-wizard !!
Tumblr media
Bringing Good Tidings, Part 4: Epiphany
As Lachlann watched the Krampus snarl at the many guests, he moved in front of his children on instinct, as did Mathilde. The creature had dark grey fur and moved like a goat on its hind legs, though instead of hooves on the front trotters there was a pair of clawed hands. It had two long horns on its head that curled in different ways before tailing off, and on its back was a large red bag. Lachlann could guess what it planned on putting in there. It cackled at the frightened nobles who fled from it until they were shivering in the far end of the hall. That only left Lachlann’s family, Henriette’s family, Bruna and Betwixt as the last ones not cowering in fear.
“As always…” Mathilde muttered under her breath, holding out her free hand for the other three children to cling onto, Felix remaining in her other one.
Henriette, figuring that they would know at least something that could help, turned to Betwixt, and was surprised to see an expression of abject fear on their face. They saw her looking at them, and tried desperately to calm themselves. They failed. “...I-I apologise…I thought that I would never have to deal with it again…”
The Krampus snapped its neck to look at the group. “Ahh, if it isn’t the ickle Sovereign, no mummy or daddy to keep you from me now…and who do I have to thank for that?”
Lachlann’s grip on his wand tightened as Krampus creaked its neck over to scrutinise him. For the briefest of moments, it was as if the last decade or so had never happened, and he was a scared peasant boy with no idea what magical monstrosity stood before him. “...Anything they could do, Betwixt can do. And more, as a matter of fact.”
The Krampus’ eyes, goatlike with long black slits for irises, stared unblinking. “And what about you? You, who found himself at just the right place at the right time to inherit an abandoned kingdom’s worth of silver and magic? You are a very lucky peasant…but I think your luck may have run out.”
Lachlann considered looking away from the hungry gaze of the beast, but despite his fear a part of his mind considered the possibility of it striking at his children if he did so. But he couldn’t keep staring, couldn’t keep looking at his warped reflection within the goat-man’s eyes.
But then he heard voices to his left and right. “What on earth are you talking about?” he heard Mathilde say, trying not to let his breath hitch when he heard her take a step forward to stand by his side. “I was there, and I can tell you he did a fair bit more than that. He and Henriette saved countless people from meaningless wars and conflicts. The kingdom was just a bonus, really.”
“Indeed.” said Bruna, who he was even more surprised to hear walk forward, “And if his luck’s run out, he’s always got his foolish noble friends to save him, which we’ve often had to do anyway.”
Lachlann nodded silently, his face now level with the Krampus, this strange Fae-like barrier even stronger with the three of them standing together. Betwixt, breathing rapidly, turned to Henriette. “We might be able to get out of this…if we make the Krampus look away, it will have lost, and we can go on the attack.”
Understanding, Henriette directed her attention to the staredown, the Krampus trying and failing to insult Lachlann, with even his children joining in on the conflict. She stifled a smile as they yelled several irish insults that Lachlann must have taught them, even Fèlix was getting in on the act, blowing raspberries at the creature. Henriette marvelled at the Doherty family for a moment before clearing her throat just as the Krampus was beginning to get even more annoyed than it had been previously.
“Cease this!” He raved, his goat-eyes still unblinking in spite of his rage. “I will not be bested by a mortal family…especially not a cursed mortal family!”
Henriette cleared her throat. “You seem quite keen to criticise us, sir, but I’d say you’re ripe for criticism too. I assume you’re here on the invitation of a certain changeling advisor?”
The Krampus tapped on the floor with its hooves a few times. “Please do not distract me, I’m trying to kidnap these children. I’ll get to yours in a minute…maybe they’ll be able to continue their playdate on the way back to the Faewyld.”
“That’s rather what I was getting at. Why do you kidnap children? And why specifically at christmas? I don’t remember a Krampus going to Bethlehem after all.”
The goat stuttered for a moment, before bleating in disgust, still not looking away. “Bah! Typical! No consideration for how your funny little church took over one of the pagan festivals! All this revelry, and dancing, and flirtatiousness? It did not come from your God or his ministers. It came from us! And now we’re taking what you owe: the children you cannot raise right!”
Though it did not turn, Henriette still felt as if a pair of unblinking eyes were now on her too, just as they were on Lachlann. “It’s funny, there are so many more peasants than you noble types, and yet I end up taking far more of these children. I hear them, you know, bickering and gossiping like their parents, with the same disdain for everyone around them that you all have! So in a way, this is something of a gift for them. They get away from you, and have a chance to live free from your sins!”
Henriette thought for a moment that its eye had darted over to her, but it clearly wasn’t enough to break the spell. She felt like looking away, but she didn’t need to. She knew the faces that were standing behind her, just as Lachlann knew the faces behind him. Maybe she was afraid of what they might end up like. But with that fear came excitement at seeing them grow. No matter what might come, what mistakes they made or what tragedies befell them, she would be there for them, and she would make sure their lives were theirs to lead. She took a breath, looked the Krampus up and down, and said “Forgive me for not taking parenting advice from a creature that looks like a gargoyle done on a budget.”
The Krampus snapped its neck to stare at Henriette, the crack echoing through the hall as it realised that the sound was about more than its bones. Fred placed his hand on her shoulder, looking at her and smiling, before turning to the now nervous beast. “Thank you for silencing this prattling beast’s tongue, darling. If he dares to loosen that tongue against our family again, may I relieve him of it?” he asked, brandishing his large sword.
The Krampus scraped across the floor with its hooves nervously. “T-This wasn’t my idea, understand…i-it was that other fellow, the advisor…they said Oberon himself wanted me to do this…I’m beginning to think they might have been lying.”
“Mm, funny that.” Betwixt chuckled, stepping forward too. “Because now you’re going to listen to the Monarch of the Silver Kingdom. Leave, for these children are protected.”
The Krampus bowed its dark head in defeat. “Very well. I see now that you will not let your children go lightly. Not you with your three,” it bowed to Bruna, “not your…however many there are, it’s hard to count-” at which Henriette had to hold Fred back, “and not your five.” Before anyone could say anything else, there was a puff of black smoke, and the Krampus was gone. In its place were two small white goats, one with a label reading “to Lord Lachlann (Doherty) of Wexford” and the other “to Lady Henriette of Wessex”.
At once, the children all ran forward to pet the goats, giggling amongst themselves as the other nobles moved away from the wall and towards the others. Everyone else seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief, but Henriette and Lachlann then shot a look at each other. “Wait a moment,,” Lachlann said, looking at the goats. “Did it say…five?”
Mathilde chuckled, Henriette realising it before Lachlann when she saw Mathilde’s hand on her stomach. She had thought her dress was less tight than Mathilde usually had it, and what was more, Henriette had suspected the same thing was the case for her too, and felt her own hand move over her stomach. The Lady of Coventry chuckled at her husband. “Don’t look like I’ve poisoned you or something. I found out a few days ago, should be due around the Harvest season.”
Sam looked up amongst the gasps and cooing. “What does that mean?”
Caitílin looked as if she was about to mock him, but stopped. “It means that Mum’s having another baby!”
“Does this mean that there’s going to be another feast?” Simone asked, still smiling.
Felix started fidgeting out of his mother’s hands, clearly already getting jealous of the attention the baby a few inches below him was getting. Lachlann scooped him up and kissed Mathilde’s cheek, a warm and wonderful smile on his face. “Oh Tillie, that’s wonderful news, I’m so…I can’t put into words how happy I am.”
“You’ve said that every time.” she replied, smirking as she kissed him back, “But thank you, dear. And yes, Simone, though a small one.” She looked up at Bruna, hoping to see a look that confirmed she would be there, but the smile on her perfectly poised face carried a sadness with it.
“I wish I could, but I am expected to leave here tomorrow.” Bruna sighed, cupping Mathilde’s cheek in plain view of everyone else. “But I shall keep you and your lovely children in my thoughts. You too, Lord Doherty.” she said.
Lachlann blinked once or twice, looking out the doors the Krampus had come through, still ajar, at the starry sky outside. It was Henriette, though, who then spoke, her hand intertwined with Fred’s, Betwixt looking at the two goats with the many children. “Then perhaps we ought to spend this night together, in celebration.” she said, looking between the three knowing that they meant far more to each other than most marriages could articulate.
The two women looked at Lachlann, and at the toddler he was holding, and nodded in unison. “I’d love nothing more, my dears.” Bruna said, the sadness still present in her smile, but now with something more hopeful behind it too.

"Hey papa...?" A sleepy Antonio asked, burying his head in Felix's chest. "Where's Lola? Haven't seen her in a long time."
Felix held the boy closer to him. "I believe she's still in her room."
"But why is she there? Why hasn't she come out?"
Felix sighed. He knew the answer, and he knew Antonio was going to ask. He just didn't expect him to question this soon.
"Well, Tonio. Lola hears everything. She can hear Mira being sick and it makes her very upset. So she usually stays in her room until Mira feels better." He said with a sad smile.
Antonio looked up at his father with a sad look. "So she's hiding? Has she always done this?"
Felix nodded.
Antonio looked away, about to lay back down when he shot his head up and grabbed his fathers face.
"But Mira's feeling better! So she can come and visit us! Can you get her?"
Felix chuckled. His son differently had his blind optimism.
"That's a great idea. I can go get her later. But right now, it looks like someone needs a nap."
The boy nodded and laid back down. He fell asleep in a matter of minutes. He was right. Delores should be able to come and visit soon.
:3
Yeah that might be a part of the reason but it’s definitely not the main one 😭😭Dolores can only hold a secret so long, she’s bound to break out of guilt anyway, at that’s what I assume. And Antonio asks a lot of questions and the animals see a lot so. Good luck with that I guess <3
Love Fèlix for fueling his optimism though, what a great dad 😩

Another Encanto rant (fandom rant)
Another random Encanto take but I personally never thought Pepa, or even the whole family was villainizing Bruno in “We don’t Talk About Bruno”. A lot of fans seem to say that the whole family sucks because they painted him out as some villain only to go “jk we love you” in the end, and it’s one of those things where I can definitely see where they’re COMING from, but I disagree. So here’s my two cents. First, the only people who painted Bruno out to be some creepy monster was the VILLAGE. The village never understood how his power worked, and they instantly jumped to conclusions. The Madrigals however are his FAMILY. They knew him, and while they know that he’s not some monster, that didn’t mean they couldn’t be upset with him. We know that Alma was upset because she thought that he didn’t care about the family (since he left). As for the song, we know that after Bruno left, they all just stopped talking about him at one point because he was a sensitive topic, NOT that he was some monster. He was just gone, and they didn’t know why. They didn’t know if he was dead, if he left because he hated them, WHY he left, he just LEFT in the family’s eyes. A lot of people seem to forget that, because while we as the audience know why Bruno left and that he deeply cares about his family, the characters in the story DO NOT. 
10 years had past, which gave the family time to just get over him and now they don’t talk about him. When Mirabel brings him up in probably the first time in YEARS, everyone is quick to say they don’t talk about him. Pepa tells her that one day on her wedding, he told her it looked like rain and that made the hurricane come. She’s explaining her frustrations towards him, but she’s not VILLAINIZING him guys. She only said “Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin” because it’s clear she thought he was purposely messing with her or she legit thought it was a prophecy, (judging by what he said in the ending, I guess she thought it was a prophecy.) Even if Bruno just said that because he saw her sweating and was trying to lighten the mood, Pepa thought he wasn’t and it was an act of miscommunication, something that happens in families ALL the time. Pepa could resent him for that, for leaving, or maybe she WAS just saying that as an unhealthy coping mechanism to stay mad at him, (which is a popular headcanon the fandom has had) who knows, but I think it’s clear she didn’t see him as a villain. He was just a sensitive topic and she didn’t want to talk about him, just like the rest of the family, and I’m honestly sick of people painting this movie as black and white, (saying how Bruno is just good when the rest of the family sucks) when one of the MAJOR themes to this movie is about complex relationships. While “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” is the introduction to the movie trying to make us think he’s some bad guy, let’s be real guys, the only people who ACTUALLY were villainizing Bruno was the village, Alma, and Camilo, but we all know why Camilo did it, he’s just a goofball performer who heard the village talking about him and he just exaggerated things. So yeah long story short, Pepa and Fèlix were explaining their frustrations, Dolores was explaining how nobody could really understand his prophecies hence she understood him more and could hear him in the walls, Camilo was just being extra, and Isabela was just sharing one of the visions he gave her.
Then I see people say “But the family talked shit about him behind his back and pretended like it was nothing!” So………when it comes to the ending, yes…I’ve seen a lot of people say that the family should have apologized to Bruno, and while I agree, I still have to share how much I dislike how black and white the fandom paints everything to be, ESPECIALLY with the Alma apology scene because dear LORD, but I’m not here to talk about that. It’s clear that MOST of the people who say that just paint Bruno as the good guy and the family as the bad guys, even though the movie CLEARLY shows you that the family still cared about him deep down. This fandom needs to realize that you can still LOVE someone but hate them, or be upset with them at the same time. And yes, Bruno is a good person, we know that, and I’m pretty sure the family knows that, or that he used to be. The whole point when it came to Bruno was that while all the Madrigals were painted as perfect, Bruno was different as his prophecies scared people, not only making him a creepy omen to the village, but it’s implied that his family didn’t understand him well either, especially after he left, but as soon as he came back, they were all just happy to see him, to know that he was alive and well after YEARS of wondering what happened to him. That’s why Alma ran up to hug him, and that’s why his SISTERS ran up to hug him, and even Fèlix and Agustín were happy to see him. The movie showed that while Bruno left and the family stopped talking about him and even tried to make dew without him, they all still missed and cared about him deep down. And listen, I’m not going to act like I think the family shouldn’t have apologized to him as well, and I’m not going to act like the family isn’t flawed. They definitely are, but that’s the POINT. I hate to say it, but it feels like the side of the fandom that goes “Fuck the family they’re all horrible people Bruno is baby and did nothing wrong!!!” completely MISS the point of the movie. It feels like y’all are so used to watching other Disney movies who flat out told you shit and had a simple good vs. evil side so you’re desperate to side with the “good one” and portray all the other characters as heartless monsters when they were anything but heavily flawed. :/
And yeah, the last thing I wanted to touch up upon was the whole apology thing. The answer is yes, I DO think the family should have apologized to Bruno, but for me personally, it’s honestly for different reasons. Everyone wants the family to apologize to him for talking shit behind his back (even though they all had a right to resent him and even not really consider him family after leaving for 10 YEARS GASP unpopular opinion I guess) but I wanted the family to apologize to him just for everything he’s been through, and assure him that things will be better, and that he won’t feel alone. And when you think about it, that’s kinda what we got in the movie. A lot of people seem to overlook the lyrics to “All of You”, because you have Alma who tells him to his face that the miracle isn’t a gift, its HIM, and his sisters who tell him the words “No matter what happens, we’re going to find our way”, which is obviously implying that they’re going to get through this, and no matter what is broken, it’s nothing they can’t fix. The family was all under pressure and while they didnt act the best, they now know that can work to grow and better themselves and their relationships, hence why they had to work together to build Casita brick by brick, which is symbolizing them rebuilding the family. There could have been tears, hardships, make-ups, and apologies for all we know during that time the house was built, but whatever. If you want to say the ending was rushed, fine. If you want to say you found the ending unsatisfying and wanted a little more, fine. If you want to say that you thought the family should have apologized to Bruno, fine, but please STOP painting the family as a bunch of heartless dicks. Encanto certainly has a few flaws in my eyes, or just things that could have been slightly better, and y’all can disagree with me if you want, but I'm just sick of this fandom portraying the family as monsters. :/

Update regarding my writing.
(I will be bashing on certain characters, so don’t read if you’re easily angered by this.)
I will no longer be writing for Carlos Madrigal. Now I know I’m going to get a shit ton of backlash for this, but it’s my choice and you’ve gotta respect it. I have a few reasons as to why I will be doing this.
I honestly don’t like Carlos’ character. He seems a little too edgy for my liking and a lot of his content makes me really uncomfortable and I just…don’t like him as a character.
2. Most of the requests I’ve gotten for him are very…odd. I said it once and I’ll say it agin. I DO NOT WRITE YANDERE STUFF! I never have and I never will.
3. I am honestly not certain about his age. His canon age is 18, and that’s the age I’ve been writing him as, but seeing as most people in the fandom are 12-17 or so? It makes me highly uncomfortable to write for an adult dating a child. It’s pedophelia and I don’t tolerate it.
4. Again-his character. I’ve seen mixed things about his character as a whole and honestly, I don’t like how edgy and tsundere like he is. He just really irks me.
That’s all for Carlos. And in regards to Roberto, I don’t know if there have been mixed things on his age, but I will be writing Roberto as a fifteen year old. If you don’t like the way I write him or any other character, it’s simple. Block me. Don’t throw a temper tantrum in my dms.
And finally, I will now be writing for the rest of the Madrigal grandchildren. Again, I will be writing for Mirabel, Luisa, Isabela, Dolores, Camilo and Roberto. I will write Pepa, Julieta and Bruno, but only as parental figures or romantically, but in a harem with either Agustín or Fèlix. That’s all. Have a good day.

In The Darkest Hour
Marinette Dupain-Cheng was not, despite what most would claim, a normal girl, nor did she lead a normal life. Chloè had once claimed that the bakers' daughter held more secrets than Fort Knox, whatever that was. Though she wasn't entirely wrong. Marinette did hold many secrets. Family, friend, random stranger, it didn't matter who talked to her. Unless you were a member of the conversation, not a peep was to be heard about it from Marinette.
As much as it occasionally annoyed them to be unable to get gossip from the girl, the entire class greatly appreciated the girl's talent for secrets. When Chloè, Kim, Max, Alix, Nathaniel, and Juleka needed someone to talk to about being LGBT, Marinette was their only pick. The group quickly became close, Marinette asking their permission to tell the other LGBT classmates to talk to them about it. None of their other classmates could figure out why the group was so close, for which they were extremely greatful. 
Kitty Section was created under Marinette's careful selection, the girl gathering those that had shyly admitted to their preferred method of making music and introducing them, one on one, to Luka and Juleka for consideration of the band they wanted to create.
The one thing the entire class knew about the rest of their classmates was one thing that were in perfect agreement with: Marinette Dupain-Cheng was an odd individual, and no one wanted her to snap. Especially after the appearance of le Papillion. Many of her classmates worried about their secrets, as so very little was known about the girl. Though the class didn't realize it, the only students that did not fear Marinette's akumazation revealing their secrets were the LGBT kids, as Marinette had not only admitted to possibly being either ace or demi due to her lack of attraction to anyone, but they also knew she was keeping secrets before she knew how to talk.
As they gave the girl more and more secrets, she became more and more isolated. No one was willing to give up their confidant, but those that she didn't trust with a secret of her own began to avoid her unless they needed a conversation kept quiet. Marinette simply smiled a small non-committal smile every time they spoke to her while Madame Bustier nodded approvingly at the girl.
A delicate peace existed in the class. Marinette's friends were all extremely protective of her, especially after they learned just why the girl was so secretive. Everything came to a head when Alya suspected Marinette knew the identity of at least one of Paris's heroes after seeing Chat Noir enter a room at the end of his timer- and Marinette walk out seconds later.
In retrospect, Alya could have chosen a better place to confront Marinette than in the school classroom, interrupting Bustier's lesson so that the girl couldn't run away.
The bluenette, of course, denied knowing who Chat Noir was. Alya, however, refused to let up- her blog was at stake, after all.
"C'mon, Mari!" Alya whinned, ignoring the classroom's collective flinch. No one was allowed to call Marinette Mari, new girl or not. "Be a good friend! Do you know what you could do for my blog?"
Marinette glared at the girl. "It's always about what I can do for you, isn't it?"
"Marinette! That was too harsh," Caline scolded her student. "You're supposed to be the example, not the problem starter! She just wants a little help with her career!"
Marinette glared at the teacher. "I said that I don't know the identity of Chat Noir. She kept pushing, insistent that I did even though all she knows is that he entered a room shortly before I exited it. I remained in front of the door until Chat Noir let me know he was properly recharged and left. She wishes to know a secret he would die to protect despite his and his cousin's protests against her stalking them."
"That is highly uncalled for!" Caline scolded. "One should never be judged for curiosity."
"And one should never be judged for the keeping of ones secrets, so be they keeping their own or others'. She's lucky that they haven't filed restraining orders or complaints against her. She could easily be sued for invasion of privacy, charged with jail time for stalking, or have charges brought against her for posting un-consented photos, of minors no less, on a public forum without any kind of authorization- not to mention some of her theories could be considered slander and defamation of character." Marinette retorted, the majority of the class shocked by her sass. The quiet girl usually refused to speak when challenged about her secrets; she had never fought back before (Sabrina was surprised, but more because of Marinette's legal jargon. Perhaps she should attempt a friendship with the girl instead of fearing her closed-off mannerisms). Only a select few that remembered her as a child with no filter (Chloè, Kim, Alix, and Nino) or visibly held no regard to authority figures (Juleka) remembered the old Marinette. The Marinette from before her aunt and uncle's deaths. The Marinette that allowed people to call her Mari.
Irina Karasuma, neè Dupain-Jelevac, adoptive daughter of Gina, had disappeared off the face of the planet when Marinette was eight years old. Six months after her disappearance, the Russian woman was presumed dead- along with her husband. Karasuma Tadaomi was Marinette's favorite out of her adoptive relatives, and everyone knew it. He was the one that taught her how to fight, how to defend herself. He also taught her how to cuss someone out, in French or Japanese, and make them thank her for it. He was the one that taught her just how important secrets were from the moment she was born. Irina taught her, very reluctant, niece how to use her looks to her advantage, the art of flirting, and about seven different languages (plus how to flirt or cuss in many others). By the time her favorite family members vanished (not dead, never dead, they couldn't be dead), Marinette was able to speak nine different languages, not including her mother tongue, plus sing beautifully.
Two weeks after Bustier assigned her detention for standing up to Alya, Marinette found a strange box on her desk, a fox tail amulet and a strange little pocket fox contained inside.
🍯
Adrien Agreste hit record on his phone the second Alya interupted class. He didn't plan on being defended, had only hoped to get a good laugh to share with Felix, until Marinette spoke up. If he weren't so good at acting, Adrien wouldn't have been able to keep the tears from falling. He knew, without a doubt, that Marinette knew his identity- and Ladybug's as well. She hadn't quite managed to close her eyes in time when he detransformed in front of her. The girl had simply pulled out her lunchbox when Plagg mentioned Adrien forgetting his Camembert at home, offering the kwami her own.
"Let me know when your good to go." Was all the girl said before walking out of the room, the sound of fabric sliding against the door letting him know she was leaning against it. Several nerve-racking minutes passed before Adrien announced that he was transformed. He watched the door slightly shift forward as she got off it, though the door never opened. 
He had waited days for the girl to spill. Yes, he was well aware of her reputation. However, he was almost positive that his was too big of a secret to keep. After seventy-two hours of nothing happening, Adrien tracked down his cousin and visited Master Fu.
Master Fu had frowned at him. "We will watch her and see how the situation pans out. If she proves herself enough, I may give her a Miraculous of her own."
The next day, Adrien walked into the massage parlor with the recording of an absolutely unaware Marinette verbally attacking a classmate for trying to pressure her into spilling the secret.
The Guardian had watched the video contemplatively, analyzing the girl. "I think I know the perfect match." He finally said once the video was over. "But I am unsure… it has been several centuries since a true match for her surfaced."
Adrien left more confused than ever, though forgot about the strange encounter once his cousin saw the video. All of Adrien's being was suddenly focused on keeping Felix from taking legal action as Ladybug against the blogger.
🍯
Marinette stared at the small goddess. The fox stared back, then smirked.
"Most kits freak out when they see me." The fox commented.
Marinette smirked back, "I'm not most kits."
"Hmm. We'll see. My name's Trixx, I'm the Kwami of Illusion. My main power is Mirage, we'll be able to see if you can use any other power after we work together for a time. You have five minutes after using my power before you transform… until your an adult."
"Okay. Does this come with a catch? Do I have to fight akumas?"
Trixx grinned ferally. "Nope. All you have to do is not use my Miraculous for evil."
"Good. I think Kitsune would prefer to take out human criminals and night akuma over missing school."
Trixx nearly purred at her newest holder's words, eyes sparkling with pride, "That sounds perfect." It was brilliant for her kit, this one might even grow to be a full fox, to use a name of different origin to mislead people. Who would think a half-Chinese girl would use a Japanese name?
🍯
Marinette transformed with Trixx for the first time that night, fiddling with her weapon before ever leaving her room. She had a flute, the mouth piece pulling out to reveal a sharpened blade on the end, barbs set strategically down the blade so that it would catch without letting go. She slowly pulled the rest of it apart, each one leading to a blade of some sort. The middle had two blades, one on each end, while the others only had one- lengths varying. 
It didn't take more than a second to find the phone-like use, the girl calling Chat Noir to meet her at the Trodacero with Ladybug.
The two heroes beat her to the meeting spot, Huli Jinn joining them after learning how to move around as a Miraculous user. Her dark silver cloak settled around her, shifting and blending with the shadows.
Ladybug eyed her suspiciously. "Who are you and what do you want?" The blond demanded.
Kitsune smirked at him. "Call me Kitsune. I'm the holder of the Fox Miraculous. I thought it best to let you know I was active before you mistook me for an akuma." She lowered her hood and pushed the cloak back, revealing her appearance. Her dress was silver with blue ribbons and sleeves. The skirt had slits up both sides to prevent it impeding movement and the skirt and sleeves were removable- not that the boys knew that. A pair of loose silver pants and black combat boots hid under what most assumed to be a dress. Her Miraculous stayed tucked under her outfit, her mask matching her silver theme- excepting the orange curled fox tails on either side of her mask.
Chat visibly brightened. "So you're here to help us?"
"Not exactly. You two are heroes. You fight akuma no matter when or where they occur. I'm a vigilante- I'm focusing more on keeping the average Parisian safe. If an akuma occurs at night, I'll help you out. But you're on your own during the day. I have school, and I know you do too, but I'm already on thin ice with my teacher, and I have work I have to do. You guys can sleep at night while I keep an eye on things."
Felix eyed her. "Why is your name in Japanese?"
Marinette blinked at him. "My favorite uncle was Japanese. He taught me many things before he vanished a few years ago. I don't know if he's dead or not, I hope not, but I wish to honor his memory and all he taught me."
Chat grinned even brighter at her. "Are you a Honeypot?" He demanded. He only knew one of those, and if she was… "Master Fu said he might give you a Miraculous!"
The other two heroes eyed the cat. "How do you know who I am?" Marinette demanded.
Felix stared at the two. "You're the girl that knows who we are." He dumbly stated.
Marinette huffed. "Yes, I know who you are. Not that anyone would ever learn that for sure."
"What are you going to do about sleep?" Felix demanded. He refused to be the cause of another person being irresponsible about school. 
Kitsune waved her hand through the air. "I can exsist perfectly well by sleeping on the weekends and taking naps throughout the week. Foxes are at their peak at night anyways."
"Didn't you just say you're on thin ice with your teacher?" Ladybug demanded. Chat Noir simply looked highly concerned.
Marinette raised an eyebrow, though Adrien beat her to speaking. "Our teacher doesn't like her right now because she defended my hero persona against a classmate. Our teacher is all for Mar- sorry, Kitsune keeping secrets until those secrets could make someone else rise to the top. She got detention for protecting my identity and defending herself against the girl pestering her."
Felix narrowed his eyes. "So the teacher punishes victims for defending themselves against a bully harrassing them?"
"I wouldn't say that-"
"Yes." Kitsune interupted. "The teacher shows no care for the emotional state of a person being attacked, only for the well-being of the more agressive person. She has had several complaints filed against her, though no action has been taken. My allies and I are getting ready to go to the school board if nothing changes soon."
Felix nodded once in acknowledgement. "Good. I shall retire for the night, Chat, you should do the same. We miss enough sleep as it is." He turned around and muttered under his breath, knowing his cousin could hear him, "And you need to explain to me what a Honeypot is."
Marinette bit back her laugh, fully aware that Felix didn't know her Miraculous also came with heightened senses. "Goodnight, boys."
🍯
Adrien landed in Felix's bedroom, having laughed at the boy the entire way there. Their transformations fell even as Adrien teased his cousin. "Need me to explain what a Honeypot is? Didn't you say that I was the one who was sheltered? That I don't know anything if it's not in an anime?" Felix glared at his cousin. "Okay, fine! A Honeypot is someone who can lure their prey in by their looks and actions, and once they catch what their after, they can make their move. Marinette's aunt taught her how to be a Honeypot when she was little."
Felix eyed his cousin. "What anime did you learn it from?"
Adrien made several insulted noises before Plagg finally outed him.
🍯
Nearly a month later, Caline Bustier and Damoclès were told to pack their bags. The head of the school board called in a favor from an old friend in Japan. The principal had demanded to be allowed to bring one of his teachers with him. She quickly agreed. François-DuPont suffered a hit with the removal of the principal and a teacher for negligence. Hopefully their replacements would help nullify that hit. 
Asano Gakushuu laid his phone on his desk before buzzing for Nagisa. He started speaking before Nagisa could even properly shut the door. "I know you were planning on moving to Paris with Akabane when he got shipped off as an ambassador. I'm not going to try to change your mind." The again went unspoken. They both knew exactly who his best teacher was. 
Gakushuu was always surprised when Nagisa spoke to him- the boy had always been so silent. He hadn't learned until after they started working together exactly why Nagisa was the way he was. "Why did you call me?"
Gakushuu huffed. "Here's the deal. An old acquantence of mine called in a favor I owed her. She recently fired her principal and one of her teachers, and needs a suitable replacement for both. She asked me to take over, I agreed on the stipulation that I got to bring one of my teachers with me."
"Where at?"
"François-DuPont. It's a school in Paris. Instead of struggling to find a new teaching position in a country you are unfamiliar with, you can join me at this school. It's not far from the embassy, so you would still be able to meet Akabane for lunch or whatever."
Nagisa raised his eyebrow at his friend. "You do know that Karma prefers his first name for a reason. We're twenty-six, and have been friends since the end of cram school. Your rivalry should be dead by now." Gakushuu shrugged. Nagisa let out a heavy sigh. "What's my class like? How did the teacher I'm replacing run it?"
"I don't know how accurate my information is, all I have is what the superintendent knew. But the teacher and principal were terminated due to neglecting the students"
Nagisa facepalmed. "End Class bad? Paradise High bad? Or relatively alright?"
Gakushuu shrugged. "Possibly some combination of the first two. They did have one competent teacher for science and math. The terminated teacher was supposed to teach them almost everything else. We won't really know until we get there and assess the situation. They want us there ASAP."
"Of course. I'll tell Karma. Get me the school's address so that we can plan housing."
"I'll forward you all the information by the end of today. Use today to tell your students the news and pack. I'll begin the transfer paperwork. Do you have tickets to Paris already booked?"
Nagisa gave Gakushuu a bland look. "Karma and I leave for Paris this coming Monday. You need to focus more on your own paperwork, mine should be nearly completed."
Asano would never admit that he had been putting off Nagisa's paperwork for as long as possible in hopes that he would stay. Nope, not at all.
🍯
Marinette kept an eye on the new teacher as soon as he arrived. They had been stuck with different substitutes for nearly two weeks while waiting on him to arrive and all the paperwork to go through. The name Shiota Nagisa rung a distant bell in her mind, though she struggled a little with remembering where, exactly, she had heard his name.
"Greetings, everyone." His French was passable enough, though he had a noticable Japanese accent to Marinette's trained ear. "My name is Shiota Nagisa, though you can all call me by my given name. I hope we have a good year together." He offered them a small bow.
Marinette rose to her feet. "Greetings, Nagisa-sensei. I am Marinette Dupain-Cheng, class representative. Thank you for coming to teach us." She offered him a bow in return.
Nagisa gave her an approving grin even as Rose hesitantly spoke up. "Didn't he ask us to call him by his given name?"
Kim explained before Nagisa could. "His name's switched around, like mine! Last name is first and first name is last!" Kim boasted. "The new teach is like me!"
Nagisa hummed appreciatively. Le Chein Kim understood the basics, but not the proper terminology. "A little rough, but basically correct. Though I do not appreciate the interruptions. In Japan, a person's family name is given first and their given name second. It is considered rude to address someone by their given name or a nickname without permission. Dupain-Cheng-chan, please stay after school so that we can discuss the class."
"Yes, Sensei." Marinette acknowledged. 
"Now, in Japan, different honorifics are used to address someone. Here you use madame, mademoidemoiselle, and monsieur. It's a bit more complex in Japan. If you were to speak to an adult, you call them by their family name followed by -san. For example, a friend of mine also lives here. You would address him as Akabane-san. You would address females your age or younger by adding -chan to their surname, males with -kun. People in the grades above you would be addressed as -senpai, which can also be used for someone with more experience. A teacher, doctor, someone in a roll ment to educate someone is addressed as -sensei." Nagisa spent the first day explaining to them the cultural differences between Japan and France, flashing back to Bitch-sensei's less than conventional methods proving their usefulness. Several of his new students seemed to understand the different cultures very well while others seemed to let everything fly over their heads. 
The day finally ended, Nagisa ushering the students out so that he could finally learn just what he was dealing with. "Dupain-Cheng-chan, would you please explain to me how the class was run prior to my arrival? The principal and I were given minimal information about why we were being brought in."
Marinette slightly inclined her head. " Please, call me Marinette. My surname is a mouthful. Caline Bustier was our former teacher. She let bullies run rampant and punished the victims if they stood up for themselves. One of my classmates is obsessed with uncovering the identities of Paris's heroes. The teacher never warned her of all the legal action that could be taken against her for basically stalking underaged people. Césaire was convinced that I knew one of their identities and interupted the class to hound me about it. I denied any knowledge of who they were. She pressured me, insisting I knew and called me by a nickname I do not use. I told her off, the teacher scolded me and gave me detention.
"The former principal wasn't any better. He was easily controlled by people in a place of power, allowing bullies to rule the school even as he brushed an complaints about his teachers under the rug. I was chosen as class representative because my classmates trusted me to know better than anyone just what they wanted or needed without airing their secrets to the world. I am also one of the only students who was not afraid to tell Bustier and Damoclès that they were acting like imbeciles. My class is accustomed to not being able to rely on an adult in charge to handle a situation for them- especially if that situation is hostile. Now days they either handle it themselves or come to me."
Nagisa nodded. "If you wouldn't mind, I would like to began taking some of that responsibility off of you. It will take time for us to learn how to work together, but I assure you that I am not like Caline Bustier."
Marinette eyed the new teacher. "Anything my classmates tell me in confidence will stay with me. But I will attempt to speak with you about the class when needed."
Nagisa inclined his head. "That's fair. I would expect nothing less. What can you tell me about the class? I can't move at mach twenty, nor am I a verifiable genius, but I would like to be able to give all of my students what they need. I was under the impression that I am in charge of everything except mathematics and science?"
Marinette nodded. "Juleka, Mylène, and Nathaniel are all very reserved and shy. Juleka and Nathaniel prefer to hide in the background and let others shine. Mylène is okay as long as there's someone she's comfortable with nearby. Ivan is quiet and has a few anger issues, though he's pretty good at controlling himself as long as le Papillion is inactive. Kim has trouble focusing on class and retaining the information, he does better when he has something to do. I've been making him study with me, letting him practice sports, parkour, that sort of thing while I call out information and question him on the materials. He's not at the top of the class, but he is usually in the top ten. Alix can focus better than Kim, but also learns better when she has something to do. Césaire has a tendency to ignore the materials when the teacher is covering them in favor of working on her blog. She expects someone from the class to share their notes with her later on so she can pass. Sabrina takes care of helping Chloè study, since Chloè learns better with technical terms. Every now and then Sabrina calls me in for help for a particularly difficult subject because, where French sometimes fails, making Chloè learn the material in a different language works every time. Nino learns through music. Everyone else learns relatively well in the class and can mostly interact with new people. Adrien said his cousin's considering transferring in, he's asocial, not big on people, but smart."
"Thank you. I'll see what I can do about helping Le Chein-kun and Kubdel-chan have something interactive during class to help them. Do any of your classmates find music distracting?" Marinette shook her head. "Then I'll ask one of my former classmates for help with making a playlist to help Lahiffe-kun learn the material. What would you suggest to stop Césaire-chan from being on her blog during class?"
Marinette hummed contemplatively. "As long as she has an electronic, she's going to check it. Especially since she knows a few of our classmates will give her the notes."
Nagisa nodded. "I'll have her give me her phone before class. Would you do me a favor?"
Marinette eyed the teacher. "That depends on the favor, Sensei."
"It's nothing bad." Nagisa promised. "I'm just used to students being unwilling to help. I feel your classmates are more likely to listen to you right now than me. You have their trust, I do not. Would you be willing to ask them to stop giving Césaire-chan their notes? It would be different if she were missing class, but she's just not paying attention. She needs to learn that there isn't always going to be someone to cover for her."
Marinette blinked, surprised. "Of course, Sensei."
Nagisa considered the girl. "You have a Chinese and French heritage, yes?"
"I do."
"Where does the grasp on Japanese culture come from?" Nagisa questioned, deeply curious.
Marinette offered a small smile. "My family is very complex. My grandmother is the equivalent of an Italian gypsy and has a penchance for adopting people. My adopted aunt, Irina Dupain-Jelevac, married Karasuma Tadaomi. He taught me many things, including Japanese culture, before they went missing a few years ago."
Nagisa's mouth fell open. "You're related to Bitch-sensei? And Karasuma-sensei?"
Marinette snapped her fingers. "I knew your name sounded familiar! My aunt told me about her attempt at being a teacher and how much she struggled with it. She had a lot of pride in your class. Tadomi-oji-san did too, he was just better at hiding it."
Nagisa stared at the small girl. "They told you about us?"
Marinette shrugged. "A little, yeah. Is that all you needed, Sensei? I need to get to work."
"Y-yes, thank you. Have a nice evening, Marinette-chan."
"You too, Sensei." Marinette called as she walked out the door. She found something in her relaxing slightly with knowing that the new teacher was taught by her uncle. Though she did wonder how Adrien, and possibly Felix if he transfered in, would escape to fight daytime akumas.
🍯
Nagsia flopped on the couch once he got home, startling his husband. "Sup, Nagisa?" Karma asked. Nagisa smiled, even after over a decade his husband hadn't changed from the time they were at Kunikagawa. He even continued elongating his name.
"Guess who my class rep. is related to?"
Karma raised an eyebrow. "I literally have no idea."
"Karasuma-sensei and Bitch-sensei."
"What the fuck?" Karma lost all attempt at feignig disinterest, bolting straight up.
"She's French-Chinese, Italian grandmother. The grandmother adopted Bitch-sensei before she married Karasuma."
"How the hell did you figure all this out?"
"I had her stay after class to get a feel for the class. I was called in to replace a negligent teacher, so I wanted to know exactly what I was working with. After we were officially done, I asked her where she learned so much about Japanese culture, as she seemed to already know what I was teaching today. I was already thinking about Bitch-sensei and her teaching methods before she explained how she was adopted by Karasuma-sensei- as a niece. Apparently they talked about us."
"Holy fucking shit, talk about a full circle. How much does she know?"
"That's the problem, I have no idea. Nor do I know what they taught her." That was more worrying than how much she knew about their past.
🍯
Marinette texted Chloè as she walked. *Césaire's notes privileges have been revoked until further notice, excluding absences.*
*I was waiting on you to snap on her. 🙃*
*New teacher's rules for her. Former Class 3E- 🗡️*
*😮 …………… Trust?*
*With caution.* Marinette pocketed her phone as she walked in the bakery. She could give a good two hours in the bakery, design while cooking supper, and then take a quick nap before patrol.

“be quiet..” you said before she giggled, “got it miss sequiera! now do you want to go shopping now or..” she said before you shook your head, “let’s go to tomorrow..my stomach hurts..” you said before getting up carefully as she looked at you, “eat something that you normally don’t eat..” she said watching you walk around the kitchen, “desde cuando te sigue el perro?” (since when does the dog chase you?) she said as you giggled, “i don’t know..it’s been happening when i’ve found out about the baby..” you said before finding a lemon slice. “YOU’RE NOT GOING TO-“ she said before you looked at her, “they sound good right now..” you said before cutting up a slice as liliana watched you eat the lemon, “you’ve been eating the weirdest things..” she said watching you eat the lemon from the sofa, “uh huh..like what?” you said sucking up the juice.
“like, bananas with chocolate..lemons..ice cream but it can only be strawberry or chocolate..strawberries..ummmm..that’s all i can think of..” she said as you giggled, “well it’s their fault not mines..” you said smiling before the door opened to a joão and fermin, you looked at liliana as you walked over, “how was training..” you said throwing the lemon away as joão furrowed his brows, “estabas comiendo un límon??” (were you eating a lemon??) he said looking at you, “si por que?” (yes why?) you said as he chuckled, “you’ve been eating differently now days..” he said before walking over to you, his hand’s wrapping around your neck. “get off me, we’re not going for sex..i know what you’re usually up to..” you murmured as he chuckled, “you know me too well y/n..” he said kissing your cheek before you watched liliana get up and get her stuff, “i’ll be back tomorrow to pick up your girlfriend joão, we have something to do..” she said as he looked up, “okay, what time?” he said, “possibly around 1 to 2pm, i know you and fermin are off so just catch both to of y’all a break..” she said smiling before waving at you, both her and fermin walking out.
you looked up at him before turning around, “you’re off tomorrow?” you said cupping his cheek as he nodded, “yeah, then in a few days we have to go to my parents house for this birthday thing they planned out for me..” he said, a giggle coming out of your mouth, “mhmm..come on let’s go upstairs now!” you said before he carried you, you screamed being in a giggling mess, luckily he was careful with your stomach before he took you upstairs. he placed you down on the bed before you sat up, “you’re so clingy y/n..” he said as you giggled, “well, congratulations you’re also clingy urself mister sequeira.” you said giggling before he pinned you down, “no. no freaky stuff.” you said smacking his head playfully, “i’m not going to, you’re just so tiny and cute..i love having you as my girlfriend..” he said kissing your forehead, you smiled before kissing his cheek. “can we nap..” you said before he chuckled, “hmmm..well what if we watch something then you can fall asleep in the middle of it like usual?” he said as you nodded your head, he got under the covers before you sat on your knees, he held your hand before you crawled over to your spot, before going under the covers resting your head on his chest.
“are you excited for your birthday..” you said before he scoffed, “not really..i’m not too sure what they’ll throw for me..” he said a giggle coming out of your mouth, “i think it’ll be fun baby, you just have to not think any harsh things..” you said holding his hand before playing with his fingers, he chuckled watching you. “you’re acting like a baby..” he said before you bit his finger, “be quiet.” he chuckled hearing your tone before putting on a movie, you two watched the movie as you began to slowly doze off. he looked down kissing your forehead before he ended up falling asleep as well.
approximately the next day…
you felt the nausea slowly hitting you again, morning sickness was a bitch. you got up before kissing joãos cheek, walking over to the bathroom you slightly closed the door, looking down at your stomach. “can i just have one day where i don’t necessarily pu-“ you said before randomly gagging as you opened the lid, letting your guts out. you coughed up half the stuff you had eaten before you flushed down the mess, you turned the sink on, starting to brush your teeth hoping that didn’t wake up joão..you poked on your tummy slightly giggling. you heard a knock the second you had finished before joão opened the door, “estas bien?” (are you okay?) he said as you nodded your head, “si, por que?” (yes, why?) you said, his brows furrowing. “i heard you gagging..you threw up didn’t you..” he said as you looked at him, nodding your head. “y-yeah..! but i’m fine, i took medicine.” you said smiling at him before he kissed your cheek, “okayyy, i believe you..” he said watching you do your routine, “joão. are you seriously going to stand there and watch me.” you said looking at him.
“of course, why can’t i watch my i hope to fiancé do her routine of the day?”
“becauseeeee..i have to leave in exactly a few hours..” you said as he chuckled slapping your ass, “i’ll be in bed then..” he said, you scoffed watching him roll back onto the bed. “HEY WHY IS HE IN MY SPOT.” you said staring at him, he chuckled watching your temper and the pink headband on your head, “because my girlfriend is currently getting ready..” he said pouting before you rolled your eyes, taking your headband off as you finished before getting back on the bed. “..well now she’s here!” you said giggling. before he chuckled as you sat on his lap, he slid his hand inside your shirt. you looked at him, his hands caressing your waist before you felt them near your breast, “nuh uh!” you smacked his hands off as he pouted. “meanie..” he said as you kissed his cheek, “nope, now let me go get ready.” you said as he watched you get off, his arms crossing behind his head watching you walk to the bathroom.
you were now in the closet finding for an outfit, something baggy and not as tight for your stomach, you put on a pair of jeans and a white shirt, surprisingly baggy on you as you changed out of your somewhat pajamas. you walked out the bathroom, joão looking at you. “can i help u?” you said before he shook his head, “you look so cute..” he said as you giggled, sitting on the edge of the bed putting your shoes on. “ow..” you said before joão furrowed his brows, “what happened?” he said as you widened your eyes, he doesn’t know yet. you carefully sat up looking back at him, “nothing..can you help me put these shoes on..” you said before he nodded his head getting up walking over to you, he kneeled down helping you put the shoe on. “what’s wrong?” he said, you shook your head. “oh nothing..just a few stomach pain..” you said twiddling with your fingers, “period cramps?” he said as you nodded your head. “yeah..something like that..” you said before he put the other shoe on for you.
“you’ll be okay, just take some pills baby..” he said before getting up kissing you, you kissed back cupping his cheeks before he moved your hand away, “nope..it has to be fair..” he said as you whined, “you’re no fun!” you said getting up, he chuckled spanking your bum. you bit down on your lip looking at him, “really?” you said turning around before he looked at you, “i just had to..” he said before getting back on the bed, you giggled. “uh huh..what a touchy pervert..” you said hearing him chuckle. he looked at you, “so where are you going with liliana..” he said as you gulped, “store..she needs some stuff for her home..” you said making up a lie, he wrapped his arms behind your waist, pulling you back to the bed placing you on the mattress, he hovered above you before tilting his head, “you’re always good at that..” he said kissing you, you kissed back cupping his cheeks. you expected him to let go but he didn’t..he continued kissing you.
your hand holding onto the back of his head, you felt his lips trickle down to your neck. kissing your skin, “j-j..we’re going to get carried out..” you said before he continued placing his finger over your lip, “let me do my part..” he said as you whined, “please..!” you said before he bit down on your neck, a moan coning out of you before he pulled back. “you bit my finger so..” he said as you stared at him, “REALLY.” you yelled out before he grabbed your cheeks tightly, kissing you again. you kissed back whimpering into his mouth, “j-joão..” you said as he looked up at you, “hm?” he said before you sat up, breathing heavily with pink cheeks. “what’s wrong..” you said fixing your shirt before he giggled, “nothing..just messing around..” he said as you rolled your eyes, your phone chiming looking down at the text.
“lils is here! i’ll be back later!” you said kissing him again, he kissed back. you did not want to leave him alone, you wanted more, your hormones craved more. you cupped his cheek, still kissing him. “joãoo..” you whined giggling before he pulled away, “you owe me.” he said before you nodded your head, grabbing your purse before kissing his cheek. “love you!” you said walking out the room, going downstairs then outside. you walked to lilianas car getting inside before she looked at you, “you mind telling me why you were blushing and why your lipstick is currently smudged..” she said before your face turned red, “be quiet! that’s not a bad thing..!” you said sitting down on the passenger seat before she laughed, “you’re definitely going to raise horny babies..” she said before driving off to the store, “HEY.” you said looking at her as she laughed, “is it true tho? you’re hormones girl..” she said a loud sigh coming out of your mouth, “true..i don’t know what to do tho..” you said before opening the mirror from the top of the car, fixing your lipstick. she giggled watching you apply the lipstick, “so what store are we going!?” she said, “uhh..definitely the baby store and target..i need to find a box to put the little surprise..” you said before she looked at you, “sounds good! don’t you also have an appointment today?” you said as you nodded your head, “yeah..it’s a checkup..” you said fixing your makeup before she giggled.
“i’m surprised he doesn’t know..and his birthday is in two days too..” you said tapping on your tummy, no sign of kicking or moving. you sighed as liliana looked at you, “they’re awake y/n..just they can’t move yet..” she said smiling at you as you nodded your head, “two babies in one tummy is a lot..” you said thinking how birth could be for you, a horrifying nightmare. “well yeah, two humans and you’ll be pushing them both out. of course it’s a lot..” she said stering the wheel as you sighed, “i just don’t know who to be in the room once im in labor, i mean i’m already planning and he doesn’t know yet until two days.” you said wondering what else you had in mind, “i don’t know the genders yet, i don’t even have the rooms yet, not even rhe names!” you said before liliana grabbed your hand and held it onto your thigh, parking the car.
“you’ll be fine y/n.. that moment isn’t here yet but once it’s here i’ll hopefully be there and even your parents, especially joão, you’ll be okay.” she said as you smiled, “okay..! now can we please go to the store and look for baby items.” you said as she nodded her head laughing, you opened the car door getting out before hearing liliana close the door from her side as the two of you walked inside.
meanwhile in the store..
“so..do you know what you’re getting so far?” she said as you looked around, “i was thinking a few pacifiers..but cute ones..then a little bear plush..” you said as she giggled just already watching you plan out, “and then the confetti and the tests of course with the little polariods of the babies..” you said walking over to the pacifiers, “although..” you said grabbing a pack of pacifiers, you were in awe looking at the tiny bubs. “though..i was thinking we cover the top with parchment paper and i write like a little note on the top, so when he opens it..it’s there..” you said looking through the pacifiers, finding the right color you had in mind. a little beige brown one should do. “since when you’d get creative with this..” she said laughing as you looked at her, “since i started eating differently.” you said putting the pacifiers in the cart, “now the plushie section!” you said as she shook her head laughing silently, following you.
“do a bear one to match the theme of the pacifiers, i think it’ll be cute.” she said before you found a small bear, “this one, it’s cute..” you said in awe, the stuff making you already just want to push your babies out. you put the bear stuffed animal in the cart before getting another one as you placed it in the cart, “okay! that should be it!” you said as she giggled, “you sure you don’t want more baby shopping?” she said, “i mean i wish.. but i don’t know if they’re girl and boy or boy and boy or girl and girl..” you said as she giggled, “you’re right..let’s go and pay now, then.” she said before you two walked over to the cashier.
“32.33!?for all this..” liliana said as you giggled, “they’re maternity and for babies..of course it’d be expensive..” you said gulping before you paid for the stuff, “thank you!” you said before you two left the store. “now we go get the little box you want, and the confetti then your appointment?” she said as you nodded your head, “mhm, she called earlier already so i’ll just have to go through everything again.” you said before getting in the car, as liliana started the car getting in the driver seat. “so is the appointment now? or..?” she said driving off, “she said 1:30 this time..” you said looking at your phone, “perfect! we’re on time then! it’s currently 12:20! we can stop by and get the box really quick at target and find some sharpies and parchment paper including some sticky notes for the reveal and then we head off.” she said as you nodded your head, she smiled before driving to target.
you leaned your body against the chair poking your tummy, still no sign of nothing. just you playing with your stomach, “really y/n is that how badly you want them out..” she said laughing at you poking your stomach, “be quiet.” you said huffing out, you sat up before she parked the car. “okay we’re here, let’s just go in there, grab and go and that’s it.” you said before she smiled getting out the car as you got out the car, the two of you walking inside the store. “these babies are a lot..” you said as she giggled, “i’m sure joão will love them y/n, even more when he finds out you’re having twins.” she said as you blushed, before finding the section of the gifts grabbing the white parchment paper, “..and then two isles down you’ll find the sharpies and sticky notes..” you said as she giggled watching you talk to yourself before you walked over to the other isle finding the sharpies and the sticky notes. “okay we’re done!” you said before she laughed, “you’re missing the box..” she said giggling before finding one behind you, “this will do, now we could find some ribbon to make it look like a gift and he can open it from there.” she said finding a gold roll of ribbon. “here, this should do..now let’s go.” she said before the two of you walked to the checkout.
meanwhile after paying..
“okay, shopping is done..now let’s go to your appointment, which gives us 15 minutes to get there and it’s currently 12:50..” liliana said, you in the other hand putting your seatbelt as she had already done everything before driving off to the clinic. “i have to wait two days for this..” you said frowning, “two days for the reveal?” she said turning the wheel, “yeah, i hate waiting. i don’t even know what i’m going to do.” you said rubbing your tummy, poking on it again. “well it’ll definitely not get you to waking those two up.” she said giggling, “oh be quiet!” you said smacking her arm playfully, “i still don’t get it, twins on my first ever pregnancy..its so scary..” you said as she hummed in response, “true, but like i’ve said y/n, you’ll be fine!” She said turning the wheel before parking the car.
“What’s wrong now?” She said furrowing her brows taking her seatbelt off, “sleepy..” you murmured before taking off your seatbelt, “i’m pretty sure it’s the twins..” you said fighting off a yawn, she looked at you giggling. “It’s okay, lets just go in there, maybe you’ll wake up. You get to see them today!” She said as your mood lightened up, that’s definitely something you wanted to see. Your twins through the monitor. You opened the door getting out the car as liliana did the same before you and her walked over to the building. You went over to the front, “i’m here for my appointment..” you said before the nurse smiled at you, “y/n?” She said as you nodded your head with a small, “mhm” she handed you a packet again to fill, but longer this time.. “fill this out and the dcotor will see you in a few minites!” She said smiling as you smiled back grabbing a pen before walking back to fill out the packet. “More stuff to sign?” Liliana spoke as you nodded, “just the usual but i guess with the symptoms im experiencing or just more concerns..” you said before filling out the form.
“Your belly..it’s really grown from the last time..” she said as you smiled, “Well..we know who to thank!” You said smiling before getting up carefully walking over to the front desk, turning the form in. Just in time as a nurse came out, “y/n!?” She said as you walked over and liliana followed you. “Okay! Just step on here real quick..” she said as you stood on the scale, she smiled letting you know you could get off the scale before you stood off the scale, “okay, head to room 4 and the doctor will be there in just a few minutes!” She said smiling, “okay, thank you!” You said smiling back before you and liliana walked to the room, you sat on the parchment paper again. “Nervous about this one?” She said as you shook your head, “Not really..what if they grew! Or what if i start feeling them kick and move this trimester!?” You said happily as she giggled, “I think you will, those two definitely will.” She said as you giggled before a knock on the door.
“Hola hola! Cómo han estado!” (Hello hello! How have y’all been!) Just when the doctor showed up you smiled, “bien! Muy bien!” (Good! Very good!) You said before she closed the door, “y los bebès?” (And the babies?) She said as you giggled, “hopefully okay..” you said before she smiled walking over to turn the monitor on, “your belly has grown since the last visit, how have you been coping with the pregnancy so far?” She said putting on a pair of gloves, “just sleeping in a lot..i went out today to announce the pregnancy tomorrow..” you said as she gasped in shocked, “that’s amazing! Where are you announcing it?” She said before she walked over grabbing the gel, you lifted your shirt up to your tummy. “A birthday party..precisely my boyfriend’s birthday party..” you said as she smiled, “his birthday surprise im assuming?” She said, you nodded your head as she squeezed the gel on your stomach.
The coolness making you shiver sending small goosebumps to your arm. “Well! Let’s see what the babies have done lately and anything new for them on the sonogram!” She said before sitting down on the chair grabbing the transducer connected to the machine. Liliana looked at the sonogram waiting for the babies to appear, already happy to see the babies. The second she began to move the device there they were. “There they are..” she said smiling as liliana looked over at you to see your reaction, “Their legs and arms are already forming, both sizes of an avocado..” she said, a small laugh coming out of you. “You just turned 4 months today so the babies should start moving anytime soon now that their legs and arms are ready..” she said as you smiled, the sound of their heartbeat echoing through the room. “Their not really easy to tell their gender.. have you thought of what you hope they’ll be tho?” She said as you blushed, “I thought maybe boy and girl..or possibly girl and girl..i’m not sure..” you said, “What does the tia think?” She said as liliana laughed, “i think boy and girl..” she said as the doctor smiled.
“These two are slowly forming their sex so by the next checkup they’ll be confirmed wether its boy and girl or girl and girl or possibly boy and boy.” She said as you smiled widely, “Is there a way you could take a picture and write something on it..” you said as she nodded her head, “Of course!” She said about to print the ultrasound photos, “maybe something like..surprise papi! we love you!” you said as she nodded her head, liliana was filming the ultrasound you looked over giggling before she took the copies, “before we finish it off, is there any questions?” She said as you nodded your head. “Just a small concern..” you said. “Yes?” She said looking at you, “Is there any chance that i could possibly like..have sex..” you said as liliana giggled at the way you got nervous to ask. “Yes, feel free to just try and go along with your way, i’d say it’s hormones. Nothing bad at all!” She said smiling, “It might get comfortable but just try talking it out with your partner!” She said as you nodded your head before grabbing a paper towel wiping off the gel off your tummy as she turned off the machine. “Here are the copies of the ultrasound! Good luck with the reveal as well!” She said as you smiled at her.
“Have a good day to you two ladies! Adios!” She said waving before you and liliana said your goodbyes as she left, “are they kicking right now?” She said as you shook your head, “not yet..maybe later or tomorrow, not sure when ana..” you said before pulling your shirt down as you got off the bed walking over to the door holding onto the ultrasound photos. You two walked out the clinic before you got in the car, “isn’t that exciting! The babies are moving soon!” Liliana said as you smiled, “well yeaa, but we have to worry now about the box, it’s two of these babies..” you said as she laughed before starting the car driving back to her place. “Do you think joão went over to your house..” you said as she shrugged, “maybe, he’s probably being delusional again..” liliana said, you rolled your eyes. “Let him be..you two are still young..” she said as you giggled, poking your stomach. “Wake up..” you murmured as liliana glanced at you, “silly they haven’t gotten to hear you yet.” She said as you rolled your eyes.
“Ur no fun.” You said as she giggled, she parked the car outside the garage as she looked at you, “HE’S HERE. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO-“ you shouted before she covered your mouth, “just put the photos in your purse, we’ll go to the second living room and when we’re done i’ll put the gift in my car, then tomorrow when we’re there and its nearly time to end it or the gifts then you’ll just grab it out!” She said as you nodded your head, she unlocked the trunk before you got out. You put the photos in your purse before grabbing the bags, liliana walked in as you looked at joão.
"Didn't expect to see you here." he said as you gulped, "Well you're here yourself and you never told me..so.." you said as he chuckled, "what did you get.." he said as your eyes widened, “just stuff for liliana..” you said as fermin turned around, you smiled before walking upstairs quickly, liliana smiled at both the boys before chasing you. You sat on the floor on the second living room you grabbed the box out as liliana watched you, “you sure you don’t need help..” she said as you shook your head, “nope! as long as they dont think this is suspicious..” you said before grabbing the parchment paper, placing it in the box. “How are you going to get up from there..” she said sitting on the sofa as you shrugged, “I dont know..i’ll just get joão or you to help!” You said happily, she bursted out of laughter watching you put the paper confetti around the box, “can you hand me the bag with the baby items..” you said as she nodded her head handing you the bag over, “do you think he’ll be excited?” liliana said.
“i think he will..apparently fermin told me that he was talking about it like a few days ago when they went out..” she said helping you place the pacifiers infront of the teddys. you heard footsteps as you lookded at liliana, “alguien viene..” (someones coming..) you said as she stood up, she covered the entrance as fermin stood there. “y que hacen?” (and what are yall doing?) he said confused, “nada! ve pa bajo, te miro en unos minutos.” (nothing! go downstairs, i’ll see you in a few minutes.) liliana said, fermin tippy toed trying to see what you were up to, you grabbed the pregnancy test as fermin gasped. “NO JODAS.” he yelled out as you looked at him, “are you fucking serious!?” you said before trying to get up, you whined before getting up. “you can’t say anything. not even a word. this is for tomorrow.” you said.
“pero-“ (but-) you slapped his hand, “pero nada. tú no digas nada, mañana se dice y punto.” (but nothing, you dont say anything until tomorrow and period.) he looked at you as you looked back, “i know he’s your friend but this is a surprise, and yes I’m pregnant..” you said quietly, fermin looked at your stomach. “oh that explains the baggy clothes..” he said as you frowned, “baggy clothes? how do you-“ you said confused, “joão keeps mentioning you’ve been suspicious lately..” he said as liliana palmed her face. “ay ya callate! ya! ve pa bajo, te miro. Ok? Te amo!” (ugh shut up! stop! go downstairs, i’ll see you, okay? Love you.) she spoke kissing his cheek before she scooted him out, you sat back on the floor putting the 4 tests on the box, you sighed remembering the day. before grabbing the polariods from your bag, “he’ll be happy y/n..trust me..” she said as you smiled slightly, “hopefully..” you said placing the polariods next to the teddies, grabbing the parchment paper covering the top.
you grabbed a sticky note writing down on it, “open me!” placing it on the top of the box, “you’re writing two?” She said as you hummed in response, “si” you said before writing down on the note placing it ontop of the parchment paper as you closed the box before grabbing the brown lace. Tieing a bow on it, you smiled. “done!” you said before holding onto the table getting up, “so you’ll keep it?” you said as she nodded, “si, then i’ll put it in my car then tomorrow we’ll be there at the other house.” She said smiling as you hugged her, “thank you.” you said before she hugged back, “your welcome y/n, and of course to the twins..” she said smiling before the two of you went back downstairs.
joão looked at you, “are we leaving?” he mouthed out as you nodded your head, he chuckled at your words and at the sentence coming out of fermin before he stood up. “bueno..me tengo que ir ya..y mañana pues..” (well..i have to get going now..and tomorrow well..) he said before you walked next to him holding his hand, he chuckled kissing your cheek. “miss sequeira and mister sequeira..not surprised..” she said as you blushed heavily, “thought we talked about this.” you said rolling your eyes playfully, joão chuckled. “bueno, nos vamos ya!” (well, we’ll be leaving now!) you said before waving ‘bye’ at both of them as you and joão exited their house.
he opened the door for you as you giggled kissing his cheek before you got in as he closed the door before getting in his side, sitting down on the driver seat. He started the car before holding your hand, you were distracted looking out the window. “hey..you okay?” he said glancing at you, you looked at him. “yeah! why wouldn’t i be?” You said smiling, “you sure? you can tell me anything that’s going through your head, i don’t want you unsafe around me amor..” he said as you began tearing up, “no,no,no..what’s wrong..” he said before stoping the car in the middle of nowhere, you wiped your tears shaking your head. “h..hormones..i’m okay i swear..” you said sniffing as he furrowed, “still on your period?” he said as you nodded your head, “l-let’s just go home..” you said kissing his cheek, he wiped your tear kissing your forehead. “okay..we’ll go home and i’ll see what we can do..” he said as you nodded before he drove back home.
there it was..the little unexpected moment you knew was coming.
he parked infront of the garage before looking at you, “let’s go..” he said caressing your cheek, you smiled slightly before he got outside the car, you got out yourself carefully before you two walked in back home. he opened the door to floki running straight into you, you held him in your hands before going upstairs. “he loves me..” you said as he chuckled behind you, you went upstairs to the bedroom sitting down on the bed attempting to take your shoes off, “o-ow..” you whimpered out before he walked in and looked at you, “what’s wrong?” he said as you pointed at your shoes, “it hurts to bend down..” you said before he walked over to you kneeling down, “one leg on my lap.” he said as you nodded before he helped you take your shoes off. you placed your other leg on his lap as he helped you take it off. you smiled before you sat criss cross on the bed, you whimpered at the back pain. “my back..” you said as he frowned, “does it hurt?” he said as you nodded, you took your shirt off.
“jeez..your boobs grew..” he said as you looked up at him, “quit being a pervert!” you said smacking him, he shook his head. “nooo..you’re my girlfriend silly..” he said before he cupped your cheek, you closed your eyes as his thumb rubbed your cheek. “kiss me..” you mumbled before he kissed you passionately, you kissed back cupping both his cheeks, he pushed you down on the bed still kissing you. “j..you’re going to get caught off..” you said in between, “you still owe me..” he said as you whined. “i..i know..” you said before his kisses went down to your neck, you moaned softly slightly shifting around the sheets, “joão..” you said. his hands going inside your bra clip, you held his hand shaking your head. “please..l-later..” you said as he pulled away nodding his head, “though you might wanna get rid of your little friend..” you said as he looked down at his pants, “your fault y/n..” he said as you sat up shaking your head, “no it’s not!” you said getting up before walking to the bathroom, “i’ll be in the shower..can you feed floki too..i-i forgot to feed him before i left..” you said.
he nodded his head, he went downstairs before you closed the door a few inches turning the water on. you took your jeans off before you fully undressed yourself going in the water, you let the water run through your body and hair before poking your stomach, “i know you two are asleep..” you said sighing, you grabbed the bottle of shampoo pouring it on your hand, then spreading it around your hair before going in, you grunted loudly feeling a hard kick in your stomach as your tummy twitched. “g-great..” you murmured before you rinsed your hair off, the kicking coming back again. “j-jeez..you two kick hard..” you said giggling. you went quiet the second the door slightly opened, you looked around. before turning back inside the water, suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around you. you screamed before turning around, “why did you do that!” you said before he smiled, “why not..” he said as you giggled, you looked up at him cupping his cheek.
“want to..continue..where we left off..” you said running a finger down his chest, tilting your head. he chuckled before cupping your cheek tightly, you giggled before he kissed you deeply yet again pinning you to the wall. you held onto his shoulder his kisses going down to your neck, you moaned softly yet again his finges tracing down your waist. you breathed heavily, he continued kissing your neck as his finger slid inside of you. you gasped in between your moans, the warm water making it hot for you as it hit against your body. you whined before he began pumping his finger in and out of you slowly, you clenched tightly around him. He groaned at the tightness around your finger, he kept thrusting into your dripping cunt. “s-so good..” you moaned out leaning your head against the wall, your hand holding onto his arm. he added another finger, nearly almost throwing you off the edge.
you were breathing heavily his hand squeezing your boob as you cried out a moan, his fingers kept thrusting into you. you looked at him, your eyes teary from the pleasure already overstimulating you. “f..faster..” you cried out as he widened his eyes, “didn’t know you needed me this bad..” he said thrusting faster, the tip of his fingers brushing against your g-spot, you whimpered constantly in between your moans. you felt the burning sensation in your stomach again, “‘m gonna..gonna..cum!” you said gripping onto his bicep before releasing yourself on his fingers, you panted before he looked at you. “always taking my fingers too well..” he said kissing your cheek, you smiled lazily before you giggled. “i think you have a little problem yourself tho..” you said, he chuckled kissing you again. you kissed back before he pulled away, “i’ll see what i can do..” he said as you giggled.

meanwhile..
you were ontop of joão, rocking your hips back and forth. your hands on his chest, you were sweating, panting and moaning breathlessly. “t-too m..much..” you moaned out, he grabbed your hip tightly as you whined out before he thrusted his hips up against you. you were moaning breathlessly, nearly screaming after the..what round? oh yea, 3rd round. you arched your back as the tip of his cock brushed against your g-spot, “o-one more baby..fuck..o-one..more..” he groaned out , you moaned in response nodding your head. “s-sooo..close..gonna cum in you..” he murmured in your ear, he was moving you by your hips, stopping his thrusts before you got up moving your hips with the small strength in you. “c-close..!” you said before he caressed your ass. “come on..you can do it.. you’re doing so good..” he said before you felt your stomach burning up.
you leaned closer resting your forehead on his, you kept moving your hips quicker. “i-i love you..” you said softly in between your moans, “te amo mas..” he said cupping your cheek before your walls squeezed around him, you moaned loudly burrying your face in the crook of his neck, his cock almost slipping out as your pussy clenching caused his orgasm to trigger inside you. you panted heavily before he looked at you, “baby..look at me..” he said as you looked at him, you felt him slip out as you whimpered, “h-hey..” you breathed out smiling lazily, he chuckled moving the strand of hair away from your forehead.
“it’s midnight..” you said quietly your finger running a hand down his chest, “hm?” he said, “your birthday baby..” you said giggling before he smiled, “you’re so cute..” he said before he kissed your forehead, you slightly got off laying down in the middle, he rested his arm on the bed, head laying on his hand. you turned around facing him, your finger tracing around his chest. “since its your..b-birthday..tell me one of your wishes..” you said as he chuckled, “en serio..?” (seriously..?) he said as you nodded, “in the future..if we’re still together..hopefully.. i want a small family..” he said, your eyes looking into his. sparkles. “really..” you said, his head nodding in return. “yes..i’ll do anything, we can just stay home and be lazy with the kids when am off, we could help them make like a blanket fort and sleep with them..you know..” he said as you giggled, you smiled at him before sitting up, kissing his cheek.
“let’s sleep okay? maybe we can sleep in and then go to your parents house tomorrow..” you said smiling as he nodded, you got under the covers before he rested his head on your chest. “love you y/n.” he said before you kissed his forehead, “love you more..” you said as the two of you fell asleep.
approximately the next morning..
it was 12pm..surprisingly you and joão were knocked out. three rounds was very tiring for you, even for him possibly a workout due to his stamina.. suddenly, you felt kicking in your stomach a small whimper coming out of your mouth feeling the hard kick, you opened your eyes a bit, a sleepy joão still. his brown hair covering his face as you blushed, the sun slightly shining through the dark curtains, you looked around for floki himself as well. surprisingly he was plopped on the floor asleep, you sighed shakily before kissing his cheek, as you rested your head on his chest before falling back asleep.
2:56pm
“y/nn..wake uppp..” joão said shaking you slightly, you whined before moving around as your back was facing him. “come on..i don’t wanna wake you up but we have to get ready..” he said, you shook your head, “just..five more..minutes..” you murmured sleepily, he chuckled kissing your cheek. “love you miss sequeira..” he said before getting up, you were still asleep. your thighs were sore and your body was as well, not to mention two humans also..you covered yourself more with the blanket, still sleeping before you felt joão ontop of you. “get off..” you whined turning around, “come on we have to get going..” he said before you woke up, you rubbed your eyes looking at him. “three rounds is too tiring..” you mumbled before sitting up, the blanket falling off your chest as his eyes widened at the size of your boobs. “th-they’re growing..” he said as you slapped his arm, “quit looking!” you said before getting up, your legs felt like jello. wobbly and shaky, you careiflly limped to the bathroom. “i’m being honest tho!” he said before getting up, walking to the closet.
he squeezed your ass as you turned around, “hey! that’s enough! you had your turn yesterday!” you said before he kissed your cheek, you smiled before starting to brush your teeth. surprise surprise..the morning sickness went away. you poked on your stomach feeling the same kick, you grunted quietly before finishing, as you walked into the closet. “your boobs usually dont grow on your period..” he said before you turned around whining, “jesus that’s enough! they grow cause of hormones!” you said as he chuckled, little did he know. you were pregnant that’s why.. you put a pair of white panties on then a bra before finding a white dress, you looked down at your stomach that joão surprisingly didn’t ask yet. you put the dress on before fixing it on yourself.
he looked at you, “you look different..” he said as you looked at him, “different? how..?” you said before finding a pair of shoes, “your boobs and your facial features..” he said, you slapped his arm, “quit with the boob thing! it’s getting out of hand!” you said as he giggled behind you, “well they’re my favorite part of you too, you know that.” he said, your cheeks turning pink before you walked over to the bathroom doing your hair. “goddamn it j! the hickey is noticeable!” you said before he smirked looking at you, “good.” he said before you scoffed, “very funny mister sequeira..” you said rolling your eyes, grabbing the curling wand.
“soon you’ll be miss sequeira..” he whispered in your ear, you blushed heavily before he walked out putting his shirt on, you were nearly done with your hair..it was just some loose waves, you poked your belly yet again. two kicks this time, you smiled before finishing your hair as you went back in the closet looking for some shoes, you grabbed some heels before walking out the closet putting them on. “are you done..just like how you rushed me..” you said, “yes i’m done, you’re still short by the way.” he said as you whined, “this isn’t funny at all! come on we’ll be late!” you said before he pulled you in, you looked up at him. “my pretty girlfriend..” he murmured before leaning down to kiss you, you kissed back before he pulled away.
“let’s go now..” he said holding your hand, you held his hand back walking downstairs and to outside.
he opened the door for you as you got inside the passenger seat before he closed the door..walking over to his side he opened the door starting the car as he sat down on the driver seat. he drove to his parents house, his hand resting on your thigh. you looked at him, “what’s wrong now..” you said as he shook his head, “how come you didn’t get me a gift..” he said, you looked at him giggling. “that’s a surprise..you’ll love it a lot..” you said, his eyes wandered to you. “REALLY?” He said happily, you nodded while giggling. “mhm, i never lie baby.” you said playing with his pinky, he chuckled before parking the car.
“looks like liliana is here already..” he said rolling his eyes, you giggled. “calm downnn..come on now! let’s go!” you said before he kissed you, you kissed back cupping his cheek. his hand running inside your hair, “j..we’re going to..” you mumbled as he shook his head, “no..more..” he said before you pulled back breathing heavily, “l..later, we have to get going..” you said as he hummed in respone, “let’s go then!” He said before you got out the car, you waited for him as you held his hand, the two of you giggling after a small makeout in the car before the door opened. you stopped giggling before liliana looked at you, “the hickey explains…we’ve been waiting for you both!” She said before you looked down blushing, joão chuckled at your reaction before the two of you entered the house.
you greeted half his family before you sat on the couch, liliana plopping herself next to you. “that hickey is too noticeable y/n..” she said as you blushed looking at her, “we kinda got off guard yesterday and..” you whispered as she bursted out laughing, you smacked her arm rolling your eyes. “shut up..” you said, she rested her hand on your stomach. “so do they mo-“ the second she spoke, you felt a kick in your belly. she looked up at you with widened eyes, “..surpriseeee..! they move already..” you said giggling, she was still in shock. “calm down..they just started to kick yesterday, they can’t hear me or anybody. they’re not used to anything yet..” you said as she nodded her head, “oh..no wonder now..” she said, you giggled.
after a long dinner and conversations..
“bueno! ahora que ya se calmaron todos! quien tiene regalos!” (well! now that everybody calmed down! who has gifts or anything!) joãos mom spoke, you gulped before looking at liliana. “i’ll be back..” she said to fermin before she got up walking outside the house, you looked around looking for joão before running outside yourself chasing liliana. “WHERES THE GIFT.” you said before she giggled opening the trunk, “here, you ready for this? no more secret after this.” she said as you sighed loudly nodding your head. “ready than ever!” you said holding the box before the two of you walked back inside. you walked back to the living room where everybody was, “this one is for you..” you said walking to joão, suddenly everyone went quiet. you smiled at him before he furrowed his brows, “is this the surprise..” he said as you nodded your head.
“open it!” you said before he held the box walking to the front of the table, you stood next to him as he untied the ribbon. you gulped, you began balancing your weight on your toes, the anxiety kicking in. he opened the box as everybody was attempting to say what it was, “it’s probably a box of lingerie.” fermin said as you blushed heavily, joão chuckled shaking his head. “no, theres a letter.” he said holding the letter, looking down at the parchment paper. he held it as he looked down, “se que esto es muy temprano, pero te estamos esperando papi!” (i know this is early, but we’re waiting for you daddy!) his eyes widened. “no jodas y/n..you’re lying.” he said looking at you, you began tearing up before he opened the parchment paper. he looked down at the tests then the teddies then you.
“you’re lying!”
“a-am not..”
“TWINS!?” he said happily as you nodded your head, wiping your tears away. “mhm..” you said before he held the ultrasound photos, he looked at you before tears started flowing down your face. joão hugged you as everybody in the back kept saying “aw” or just gasping at the fact that you are now officially pregnant. joão was rubbing your back, before you looked at him, “how far along have you hid this?” he said smiling down at you, “four months..they just turned four months yesterday..” you said as he smiled, “do they kick yet..?” he said, you giggled. “i’ll show you that later..” you said before he kissed your forehead.
suddenly you pulled away from the hug and your bump was pretty noticeable now from the dress, everybody was congratulating you and joão.
“i knew all along too.” fermin said as you frowned, “you did. yesterday.” you said rolling your eyes playfully, “you’re an uncle by the way.” joão said to fermin as you giggled. “we can go home in a few minutes..” joão said, you nodded before you two walked around the house saying your goodbyes to his family. you hugged his mom as her hand held your stomach, “no te duele?” (it doesnt hurt you?) she said, you shook your head. “bueno..en la espalda si..pero el estomago no..patean muy feo..” (well, my back yes..but my stomach no..they kick ugly tho..) you said as she smiled slightly, “bueno deja que entonces joão te masaje, eso ayuda poquito..” (well then let joão massage your back, it’ll help a bit..) she said, your head nodded up and down before she hugged you one last time. “los miro cuando?” (when do i see y’all?) she said as you giggled, “gender reveal.” you said as she nodded, you and joão waved bye before you grabbed the box the two of you walking out the house.
“you might want to keep the box..the babies are already growing..” you said, he looked at you. “already..? when are you due?” he said opening the door for you, you slid in the passenger seat before you hummed, “in about five months..” you said, he rolled his eyes playfully before closing the door walking to his side sitting down on the driver seat, starting the car he drove back home. “so you hid it for four months..does that explains the weird food you’ve been eating?” he said as you nodded, “well yea..it’s weird..theres more changes too..” you said, he frowned. “like what..” he said holding your hand, “well..my boobs..floki chasing me around..” you said quietly, “your boobs are growing because of the twins!?” he said loudly, you giggled, “maybe..” you said, his eyes were widened and it was making you laugh. “you’re so cute..” you whispered, he glanced at you. “mhmmm..” he said before parking the car. you looked at him, “can you believe it tho..you’re going to be a daddy..” you said, he nodded his head as pink blush tinted over his cheeks before the two of you got out the car.
you and joão walked back in, you put the box down on the counter isle before he picked you up bridal style, “hey! i can walk you know that right!” you said, he shook his head. “no, heels make you tired baby, i know how you are..” he said kissing your cheek before walking upstairs, he walked to the room placing you down on the bed. he kneeled down resting his ear against your stomach. “can they hear me yet?” he said, you shook your head. “n-no..not yet, they’ve been kicking tho..” you said, he smiled before kissing your stomach. “if you poke a finger onto my stomach then they’ll kick, i guess they don’t like being poked or they do..i’m not too sure..” you said before he didn’t hesitate to poke your stomach, “i think the kicking is from their daddy..” he said as you giggled, your stomach twitching at the kick from the babies. “see..” you said before he poked your stomach again, “you think they’ll be tiny as you..” he said, you hummed. “mmm..maybe..” you said giggling before he kissed your stomach again, getting up. you sat up before getting up yourself walking to the closet, changing out of the dress into one of joão’s shirts. he looked down at your small figure, the shirt like a dress on you. you walked out before getting on the bed crawling to your spot.
joão laid next to you, before you rested your head on his chest. “your heart..it’s racing quickly..” you said, he looked down at you. “well duh..you’re right here and you’re carrying our children now..” he said, you smiled before playing with his fingers. “lils thinks its a boy and girl..” you said softly, he frowned looking at you. “i want a girl and girl..you know.. two little princesses running around..” he said, you giggled before he kissed your cheek. “i love you so much y/n..” he said, you looked at him, his eyes sparkling moving the strand of hair slightly away from his face. “i love you from the bottom of my heart..” you said before the two of you fell asleep.

Bringing Good Tidings, Part 2: Childermass Goes Awry
Here's my first part of this collab between me and @endlessly-cursed ! Apologies for the slight delay! Continuing from her last post, we rejoin Lachlann and Henriette as strange goings-on begin to threaten the holiday...
(Featuring ocs from @endlessly-cursed , @camillejeaneshphm , and @that-scouse-wizard )
Tumblr media
The next few days passed with much merriment from those in attendance, though Lachlann continued to worry about the nagging feeling that he was about to be caught off guard by something. As he mingled with the other guests, he was able to pass off any of his nervous glances as “Serf’s Intuition”, which always got a polite laugh from the other guests. But, of course, there was one person he couldn’t keep it hidden from. His wife, Mathilde, looked up at him in a way that only someone who’d studied his entire biology to know how best to poison him could know.
“What is it?” she asked at one point late on the 27th of December, the children already in bed by now (if not asleep, at least in their bedroom). “Is it about the Lord of Misrule business in a couple of days? I doubt you of all people would find it too humiliating, you always have been quite good at dismissing any funny looks.”
“It’s not that.” Lachlann said bluntly, shaking his head for a moment before shuffling closer. “And it’s not even about who that Lord of Misrule is going to be…if anything, I wish that were the explanation…”
“But it’s not, is it?” Mathilde raised an eyebrow at her husband. “You don’t get nervous when dealing with Betwixt. More…mildly irritated.”
“Can you blame me? They cursed our bloodline because of what happened back then…and whenever it comes up I try to tell them how I tried to find another way, but…”
Mathilde placed her hand on his shoulder. “You really can be quite stubborn sometimes. It would take a miracle to get Betwixt to like you, so I suggest moving on. Even they’ve learnt to do that, from what I’ve heard.”
“Oh yeah, that Spaniard woman they married. I honestly can’t believe they settled down after the strop they pulled when Hen- what?”
Mathilde pointed to the woman standing in the door, who had a friendly smile on her face as if recognising Lachlann’s utter embarrassment. “You are somewhat right, Lam.” Henriette began, walking forward and sitting down with the other two. “Betwixt never was one for mortal traditions…or monogamy. Still, they took the time they needed, met a nice immortal, and now they’ve got a family. In fact, I hear that Lady Sancha is expecting her 4th child, hence why Betwixt is only coming for one day.”
“Oh, how lovely for them!” Mathilde exclaimed, Lachlann detecting no amount of her normal snark. “The child must be due soon, in that case.”
“Quite soon, I imagine so, yes.” Henriette confirmed. “Seeing them will be a wonderful change from the routine of these feasts…not to mention tomorrow.”
“Don’t remind me.” Mathilde chuckled, looking over at the corridor that led to their children’s room. “How do your children deal with it? I think Caitílin is just about growing out of being fully terrified by it now, like Sam and Simone are, and Fèlix is still too young to fully understand what’s happening, bless him.”
Henriette smiled as Mathilde recounted their children. “I’d say it’s the same with us, yes. It’s always interesting to see who tries to act all tough and unafraid and who still voices their fears. Speaking of, we ought to get our sleep if we want to be ready for the Mass tomorrow. Still, it’s only for one day. How bad could it be?”
Lachlann bit his tongue and refused to comment on how dangerous it was to ask questions like that. “I suppose we’ll see. Goodnight, Henriette.”
Henriette made her way back to her room, where her husband Frederick was already sleeping. She didn’t blame him, considering how restless the children could get during Childermass. She laid down next to him, shuffling close. As she closed her eyes, she found herself thinking about Lachlann and Mathilde. To say they weren’t a traditional couple was something of an understatement, after all, he was a former serf and she was a former assassin who’d been tasked with killing him. They talked and acted like all the other couples in attendance, of course, but then there were moments when they’d mention what happened during the Mage Wars, and it was obvious how it had given them such a different perspective. They seemed almost untouchable, seeing as most other nobles were terrified of this new clan, too afraid to try to interfere with their matters. This was where Henriette’s mind settled as she drifted off: that her role in maintaining a noble family was one thing, but to get one started was an entirely different beast.
***
The morning silence was broken by the sounds of bickering from the next room. Lachlann leant forward, gently moving Mathilde’s arm from his side, giving her a brief kiss on the forehead. “I’ll handle it, darling.”
Mathilde hummed in relief, trailing her hand down his chest as she settled back in the bed. “Bless you, Lam.” she whispered, Lachlann smiling for a moment before getting dressed and heading out into the other room. Inside, he instinctively took a head count of his children. Caitílin, the oldest, was currently trying to force Fèlix, still very much an infant, into the arms of Sam, the second oldest. Simone, meanwhile, the second youngest, was seemingly content to watch this play out. Lachlann took a seat next to her, waiting for the others to notice him.
“Morning, Daddy.” Simone said, smiling up at him in that way all siblings do when they’re the one not in trouble.
“Morning, sweetie. What’s all the fuss about?” Lachlann whispered back. Simone simply chuckled and pointed to the others.
“It’ll be good for you!”
“I have no clue what I’m doing!”
“Time to learn, then! You’re inheriting the Line, after all.”
“Line, Line!” Fèlix laughed, clearly enjoying the rocking motion, before looking up and seeing “Daddy!”
Caitílin and Sam looked up and finally noticed their father, both stepping back leaving Fèlix staggering in the middle for a moment before Lachlann caught him, picking him up and holding him.
“All up and early, I see. Cait, didn’t your mother say it was your job today to look after your brother?”
“But why? If I’m not inheriting the Line, surely I shouldn’t have those responsibilities!” She said, sounding out the longer words in a way that suggested they weren’t originally hers.
“But I don’t know how to do all of it!” Sam pleaded.
“Neither do I, but you have to do it anyway.” Caitílin said, as if that ended the matter, her face dropping when she saw Lachlann’s expression, which made it very clear that it didn’t.
Lachlann cleared his throat. “Here, Sam. I’d like you to take your brother over to your mother’s room and she’ll get you something to eat. Simone can help you. Can you do that for me?” 
Sam thought out the process in his head, before nodding. “Yep! I can do that!” Simone looked over and nodded as well.
“Excellent. Now, Caitílin, out here please.” Lachlann said, pointing to the balcony overlooking the snow-covered fields. The youngest three Doherty children looked at each other, shrugged, and left the two in the room. 
They walked over to the balcony, Caitílin sighing as she leant against the wall. “I’m the only one who can see over the wall, the others need me to lift them up.” she said, proudly.
Lachlann smiled at her, before looking out over the fields. “Cait, where’d you hear about all this line stuff?”
She shrugged, tracing a pattern in the snow that had fallen onto the very edge of the wall. “Dunno. One of the other children at the feasts was talking about how since he’s the oldest and a man he gets to inherit the Line of his family.”
Lachlann nodded, understanding perfectly. “And you thought that meant we’d be giving this “Line” to Sam instead.”
Caitílin looked up at him. “Well, aren’t you?! You need a strong line to keep the family going, and that means choosing someone suitable. Well, I’m far more capable at most things than Sam, and I actually want to do it!”
Lachlann shook his head. “Cait, you do realise what a Line is, right? It’s a continued legacy going all the way back through noble families, all the history and betrayal and fighting.” He traced a line in the snow, all along the windowsill. Then, at one end of the line, he put a very tiny dot.  “We…don’t really have a Line yet. Your mother and I are the first Dohertys. That’s what you and Sam have been bickering about.”
Caitílin leant over, staring at the little dot in the snow. “...That’s our Line? That’s all it is.”
Lachlann nodded. “Pretty much, yeah. Not so important now, right?”
She shrugged, leaning back from the wall. “I guess not. Can we get breakfast?”
He smiled, taking his daughter by the hand. “Of course. Come on, let’s go and find the others.”
They left the room only to hear more yelling from the others, though this time it was not bickering.
“Mum, Dad! Look! It’s the Lord of Misrule!” came the yelling.
“On Childermass?” Caitílin asked, confused. Lachlann, however, looked more afraid. 
“Cait…don’t let go of my hand.”
***
For Henriette and Frederick, the morning seemed oddly quiet. She’d been expecting more arguments between Juliana and Denefigu. But no, there was nothing. At least not until there was a loud knocking at the door. Frederick shuffled in his sleep, clearly assuming it was one of the kids, but it was far too heavy for that. Henriette moved out of bed and got dressed quickly before opening the door, seeing someone who definitely was not one of her children. They were dressed in an incredibly odd costume, consisting of a large green overcoat, matching stockings, a bright gold and silver-covered shirt, and an olive wreath wrapped around a large jester-like hat. It could only be the Lord of Misrule, and that meant…
“Betwixt?” Henriette asked, surprised, watching them breathing heavily as if they had run all the way here. 
The Monarch of the Changelings looked up at her, nodding. “A-Apologies…M-Merry Christmas, I…I wish I could say I’m here early for a good reason.”
“I’ll say. It’s Childermass, you know, the day when all the kids are hiding, hoping Herod’s ghost doesn’t come back and get them.” Henriette explained.
“Yes, that’s what I mean.” Betwixt said. “But that’s Catholic tradition. While that and the Fae sometimes are intertwined…and by that I mean they stole from us and our worshippers….sometimes there are differences. Childermass is one of them, and it means that we have to go now.”
Henriette nodded, suddenly aware of how deafening the silence was. “Explain, Betwixt. If something has happened to my children…”
“Your children will be fine, I’m sure…provided we hurry and deal with this as quickly as we can and get them back inside before it’s too late.” Betwixt held out their hand to her. “Come on, we’ll Apparate.”
Henriette looked back at her husband. “Darling, there’s a bit of a problem. Get dressed and meet us down there, alright?” Turning to Betwixt, they took their hand. “How’s life now you’ve settled down, then?”
Betwixt couldn’t help but smile. “It doesn’t feel like settling down, I’ll tell you that much.” With a loud crack, they were gone, as Frederick prepared to bring certain non-magical elements to the fray.
They arrived outside in the snow, Betwixt taking a moment to adjust their tall hat as they surveyed the frost-covered area. “There!” they exclaimed, pointing out at a group of children surrounding someone who was wearing identical clothes to Betwixt, albeit with a strange mask covering the face. The two set off through the snow, their path bringing them past the castle gates. As they ran past, Lachlann and Caitílin emerged. Lachlann saw Betwixt. Betwixt saw Lachlann. The two slowed as they approached each other.
“Don’t tell me you think I’m responsible for this?” Betwixt asked incredulously.
“I wasn’t sure at first. I heard the Lord of Misrule was here on Childermass of all days, and you’re dressed as him, and we all know you’re not exactly a fan of Christian traditions like these.”
“I most certainly am not, that’s true.” Betwixt said, shrugging. “But even I am not enough of a fool to mess with the bizarre magicks of the Yuletide season. However…it would seem that someone is.” They pointed over at the other Lord of Misrule. The two looked back at each other for a moment, before sharing a brief nod, sprinting towards the False Lord.
Henriette followed closely behind, finding herself next to Caitílin. The eldest Doherty looked up at her. “Merry Christmas, Lady Henriette!”
“Merry Christmas, my dear child.” Henriette responded, noticing her children near the Lord. “Though it would seem someone is conspiring to take that merriment away.”
Eventually, they arrived before the False Lord, the children looking very confused as to why there were now two Lords of Misrule. The Fake looked like they were about to say some in-character nonsense to keep the children entranced, but only managed to get out “Well, well, well-” before Lachlann and Henriette blasted them with their wands, Lachlann using a lightning spell and Henriette using an orange and red hex that burned through the air like a flame. The Fake skidded through the snow for a moment before coming to a stop.
Betwixt blinked a few times. “Hmm. I’ll have to tone down what I had planned.” they muttered to themselves. “Still, we are in luck. For a second there I thought the real Lord of Misrule was there, and…” they paused, looking around at the children. “But that couldn’t be right, because I am the real Lord of Misrule!” they began, before catching themselves. “Apologies. It is still Childermass.”
The Fake slowly got to their feet, their mask having fallen away. Lachlann squinted at the face for a moment before raising a moment. “Hang on a second…weren’t you one of the Silver Kingdom’s Royal Advisors?”
The other changeling’s face contorted until the eyes were blank and the skin pale. “I assumed you wouldn’t recognise me, seeing as you were so callous with destroying our home. I am indeed Advisor Pridestone, and do excuse me Monarch, but I thought it fitting to try and teach these insipid mortals a lesson.”
Betwixt had their hand in their arms. “Oh, god, Pridestone, this does not help matters. Firstly, I have already dealt with enacting revenge on Lord Doherty, which means you don’t need to do it, nor do you need to get Lady Henriette’s family involved too.”
Pridestone sneered at her. “She worked with those abhorrent sorcerers that sealed our Kingdom, and helped build a school on top of it!”
Henriette simply sighed. “I apologise if my actions displeased you, my good sir. But I find your method of dealing with grievances to be rather heavy-handed and crude. Not to mention unoriginal, seeing as we all heard of the fascinating tale of a Piper in Hamelin who did something rather similar.”
Pridestone floundered for a moment, their blank eyes staring daggers at Henriette. “Crude?! Unoriginal?! How dare a mortal speak to me like that, I-”
They took a step forward, but were repelled by two more volleys from Lachlann and Henriette. Pridestone went flying into the snow, landing headfirst. Before anyone could say another word, the children erupted into a chorus of cheers, crowding Lachlann and Henriette as Pridestone got up and fled the scene. Lachlann found his own children had made their way closest to him.
“Dad! That was amazing!” Sam yelled, holding Fèlix in his arms who had taken to yelling “Dad! Dad!” over and over. Lachlann picked Fèlix up, nodding at all of his children, watching as Henriette did the same to those that were hers. At this point, a crowd of the other parents were coming out too, Mathilde and Frederick at the very front. But at that moment Lachlann’s eyes were on Betwixt, and their eyes were on the trees of the area, which formed a large forest. Mist seemed to be falling in. Betwixt turned to Lachlann.
“We played right into their hands.” they said, scowling. “I told you, bad things can happen when certain magical energies mix…Let’s just hope it goes away, and we can enjoy the festivities in peace…well, relative peace.”
Caitílin tugged on Lachlann’s arm, grinning, all thoughts of inheritance and family lines forgotten. “This is the best Childermass ever! Why couldn’t we do this every year?”
Lachlann shrugged, ruffling her hair, though he had a nasty feeling that by the end of this they were about to find out why exactly that was.

Okay, now I'm curious about the Alma and Mirabel switching au. How did Alma’s first interaction with the adults go? 'Cause now they think she's Mirabel...
Ok so to get into that, we gotta go back to when Alma first woke up as Mirabel, which was. Literally the day after the ceremony. Literally look in the mirror, sat there staring for a couple minutes and started freaking out. Silently of course, Lord knows even in a different body she can’t be caught out of line. BUT ANYWAY. After figuring out that she’s in Mirabel’s body, she picks up pretty quickly that Mirabel is probably in her body.
After more freaking out, Alma basically just tells Mirabel to stay in the candle room or the bedroom. Just don’t leave, at least she can figure someway to fix this. Which never happens. Alma eventually leaves the nursery (not before avoiding the family entirely, which is easy, they think that she’s Mirabel and needs some space after her ceremony). Dolores surprisingly doesn’t know, because Alma made sure to only talk to Mirabel when Dolores is asleep or so busy with listening in on something else that she won’t notice their conversations.
The cool couple. They see that she formally speaks, and she’s also very??? I don’t wanna say cynical, but definitely a little more critical. (Mind you, Alma is trying to act like a small child, or at least Mirabel, but it’s surprisingly hard.) Julieta is worried it’s because of the ceremony, and so is Agustín. Alma on several occasions almost called them by their first names, but she switched it up and corrected herself pretty quickly. Agustín gets her to help him around town whenever Julieta doesn’t take her along to the stand. (Alma had come to realize how many people came up to the stand for small, insignificant cuts).
Warm couple and Bruno notice, but they just think she’s a little sensitive from the ceremony—they do keep an eye on her though. Pepa is worried that she’s going to become saddened by everything, and Fèlix is worried she’s going to just become this boring person, like Abuela. Both try to cheer her up, and while Alma does put up an act, they still notice how stiff and slightly inept she is. Pepa ‘teaches’ her how to show (Alma becoming frustrated everytime she pokes her fingers, because she was a master seamstress, but her little fingers make it hard to not stab herself.) Fèlix helps her pick up the accordion and other instruments.
Also, in this AU, Alma hadn’t yet asked Bruno for the vision—she had planned to the day after, but obviously that had to grind to a halt, so Bruno’s still there. Bruno really just hugs Mirabel, or Alma, because he’s not good with words. Alma is very much confused, as she never realized how much Bruno hugged the grandkids, then again, she doesn’t realize a lot of things about Bruno (or the other adults really). He thinks it’s strange how she kind of just walks around, almost aimlessly, rather than going to play or color or sew. He doesn’t want her to be an outcast, so he actively encourages her to do some stuff—this is also when Alma finds out that she is not very good at coloring pictures, at least not with the five year old chubby hands she’s been stuck with.
While we’re here. Camilo is the first to notice. He actively went to the nursery to check on her, and he notices how…awkward she is. How she talks way too formally for their age and how she doesn’t know about some 5 year old stuff they discusses before. The grandkids are just a little confused. Mirabel is usually so cheerful, even in the worst of situations; so they find it strange how ‘Mirabel’ is so awkward around the younger kids, and doesn’t remember half the things they would talk about. Very confusing.
All in all, Alma is just trying to get by without blowing her and Mirabel’s cover. She knows that she’s probably not doing a good job, but clearly it’s fooling the family. And the whole reason she kept Mirabel hidden was because she was basically trying to teach her how to be a leader. Which doesn’t really go well, because it’s a 5 year old, she has the attention span of a fly and didn’t really retain much of what Alma was trying to tell her. Heck, most of the time, Mirabel just wings it.

what improvements (whether to the plot or characters) would you have given to Encanto if you were chosen to write or direct or produce the movie?
Oh gosh, this is an interesting question! There’s a few things I would have done, at the top of my head, here are SOME things! (Not in any order) If I have more, I’ll definitely share in the future! Also keep in mind these are all my opinions! ;)
Start the story a few days BEFORE Antonio’s ceremony, so the audience can get a good feel of each family dynamic, and how the relationship between Mirabel and her family is, so how the characters are on a NORMAL day, since in the film, the family is constantly under stress.
Show just a few more scenes of Isabela and Mirabel firing at each other, (more scenes or dialogue of Mirabel messing things up for her and being rude) so the relationship doesn’t come off as one sided like everyone thinks, since In reality it wasn’t.
Try to dive into Pepa’s side of the family just a TAD more, I know Pepa was included in the whole “all the family members are under stress with the expectations”, but Camilo and Dolores….not so much. (I mean I BELIEVE it, I just wish we saw more). I definitely would have added a scene where Dolores is speaking cockily of Isabela, how everyone favors her and pays attention to her, indicating to the audience that she feels left out, and in Isa’s shadow like Jared had said. I also would have maybe gave Camilo that line he had in the end of the junior novel, where he had said “I’d like to be myself”, again indicating to the audience that his shapeshifting has taken a toll on his identity crisis. As for Fèlix, I wouldn’t really change anything about him, because I would assume he has his own struggles as well, I mean he DOES have to deal with trying to convince Pepa that she can let her emotions out already, so yeah. One last thing I would do though, is that during the scene with Mirabel confronting Abuela, I noticed how Pepa’s side of the family weren’t even in the shot where Mirabel starts her small monologue, they were all in the background, so I would have put the whole family in front of the two, not just Julieta’s side. I would then tweak Mirabel’s lines, after she mentions Lusia and Isabela, she moves on to how Pepa always gets scolded for a cloud, how Antonio felt the night of the gift ceremony, how Dolores feels like her gift is more useful than herself, etc.
As said before, I would have tweaked the confrontation between Mirabel and Isabela. The song and everything is fine of course, but I would have had Isabela at one point during her song, (or maybe after, before Abuela comes in) admit that she was wrong as well in the dynamic, say that she will try to have a better outlook on her sister, and Mirabel of course will do the same. Basically just her acknowledging her faults.
Show everyone’s powers acting up or even gone near the end, rather than just Luisa and Camilo. I get that Lusia’s power was fading because she wanted to go back to being strong even though she had her talk with Mirabel, but I found it weird at the same time that it was only her who was losing her power, rather than the rest of the family as well. I would have maybe changed it to everyone’s gifts were slowly fading after the dinner scene, and then have Isabela be the last person who’s gift is still there, (so Mirabel can have her confrontation with her and the song) due to how much she’s pushed herself to be perfect over the years.
I’m sorry but I would have added more scenes of Bruno and Mirabel. They’re such a good duo! Also Bruno himself didn’t get that much screen time, so would have added him a bit more.
Okay so there’s definitely more than that, but I’ll share more in the future! Also if you disagree with any of these, that’s fine!
