Pride Month Writing Challenge, Day 18: Prediction (Erin Beaker/Cassandra Goth)

underrated ship of the century right here y’all… I think, long term, cassandra would reawaken erin’s love/trust in science. but this is just a short thing so yeah.

Cassandra thought it was odd that someone who claimed to be able to see the future would be so open about it. In the past decade or so, Cassandra’s family and all other families with magical abilities they knew, tried to keep their abilities as hidden from the public eye as possible. To see a magic user using their powers so publicly was highly unusual on its own, but to see someone with nearly the exact same powers as her was next to impossible.

The woman was insistent on reading Cassandra’s palms or whatever, but Cassandra was more concerned with the woman’s safety. Every time Cassandra asked her a question about her magic, the woman got more and more confused. At first, Cassandra attributed the woman’s confusion to being a language barrier issue. Eventually, Cassandra realized this woman was not, in fact, magic at all.

After a harsh but fair scolding, the woman was in near tears. Though Cassandra was in her full right to be upset, it was evident to her that the woman had very little knowledge of magic users or any other supernatural beings. Though she was in no way obligated to do so, Cassandra offered the woman a palm reading. Which she could actually do, because she actually had magic.

Cassandra couldn’t exactly palm read, but she took the woman’s hands anyway. Seeing this woman’s future was a bit difficult, as Cassandra didn’t know her that well, but she enjoyed the challenge. She took it as a sort of mental exercise.

“Okay, Erin,” Cassandra began. “Are you ready to hear what I have to say?”

Erin blinked, clearly surprised by the fact that Cassandra called her by her name without having asked for it first.

“Did you think I was joking about the magic thing?” Cassandra chuckled. “Because I assure you, I wasn’t. But we’ll just keep that between us, alright?”

Erin nodded, still a bit starstruck.

Cassandra let go of Erin’s hands. “If at any point this becomes too much, please stop me. I can sense that this may be a difficult topic for you.”

Erin smiled and took a deep breath. “Okay.”

“In short, there’s someone in your life who’s keeping you from achieving your personal goals.”

Erin’s smile immediately turned into a frown.

“You’ve been in conflict with this person for a very long time and have tried every way you could to mend your fractured relationship. You’ve become a completely different person to keep him from berating you again, but even that didn’t work. Now he just avoids you.”

Erin stared at her, speechless.

“You have a science degree. You like science, but this man has scared you away from it. That’s why you do all this mystical stuff, isn’t it? You use it as an escape. It isn’t really you.”

Erin blinked. “I… I suppose I never really thought of it that way.”

“You can’t let him hold you back any longer. If your happiness and truth make him angry, then you need to get as far away from him as possible. I know it’s hard to let go, but if he wanted to fix your relationship he would’ve tried a long time ago. Think about it. You’ve put so much effort into fixing your relationship with him and how much effort has he put forth in return?”

“None.” Erin muttered, her face red. She slammed her fist into the table. “My stupid brother has done nothing!”

“Exactly!” Cassandra reaffirmed.

Erin took a few moments to catch her breath and compose herself. “You know… I have been thinking about moving. For other reasons.”

“Besides your brother, you hate the desert sun. You’re from a cold place, I take it?”

“I… yes, how did you know that?”

Cassandra smiled. “Magic.”

Erin giggled, nervously rubbing her hands together.

“Am I… going to be okay if I leave?”

“When you leave, you’ll realize someone you admire and trust has an interest in science. As a result, your love for science will be suddenly rekindled, despite your past dramatic experience with it.”

Cassandra brought Erin to tears once again, but this time they were happy tears. Erin then dug through her bag and pulled out what looked like an old receipt and a pen.

“I hope I’m not being too forward, but… can I have your phone number? Just so I can keep you updated?” Erin blushed. “I-if you’re okay with that, of course…”

Cassandra took the pen from Erin’s hand and wrote her name and number on the back of the receipt. She chose not to sign her full name. That’d spoil the surprise.

Domestic

This is part of the CGW Universe ( @cordoniansgonewild ) with @leelee10898 @cocomaxley @ao719 and @speedyoperarascalparty. Guest writer @emichelle.

Pairing: Maxwell x Erin (written by @emichelle)

Disclaimer: I do not own TRR characters they belong to Pixelberry.

This is for a prompt request! Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy it!

It had been five weeks since the birth of their daughter, Erin had wanted nothing to do with looking nice or done up. Comfort was key, and she had found the most comfortable collection of her husbands tee shirts. Band shirts, sport shirts, goofy sayings, he had them all and she had squealed like a little girl when she stumbled upon them yesterday. He had been gone the last week for a few stops to sign and read his book, he was due back that night sometime so she wasn't sure how he would take her stealing his shirts...but truth be told she didn't care.

She spent the day in his tee shirt and a pair of pink boy shorts, caring for Cadence. She was such a perfect mix of the two of them but she could already tell she'd have her father's personality. She thought everything was just so funny. She always had a little gummy grin going on, and logically Erin knew that it wasn't a real smile but come on...she's Maxwell Beaumont's kid. As 7:00 rolled around it was time for her last bottle before bed, she laid cradled in Erin's arms propped up on the pillows in their bed.

"Daddy will be home tonight sweet girl. He's so ready to hold you again, he hasn't liked being away from you so much already. I think he might miss me too a little." She giggled as Cadence deadpanned up at her.

"You're right, definitely just you. My bad." She kissed her daughter on the forehead before finishing up her nightly routine and putting her into her crib.

Heading into the kitchen to clean up a little, she turned on some music to pass the time. She was squatted wiping down cabinets when My Oh My came on, Camila Cabello is easily one of her favorite singers right now. She began swaying her hips from her position on the floor, popping her hip and shimmying back to standing. Reaching up to wipe the backsplash the shirt rose up revealing her boy shorts and round backside as she continued to sway her hips. She hadn't noticed Maxwell come in.

He stood biting his lip, turning his head up towards the ceiling, "thank you".

He slowly stalked towards her, trying (and failing) to do the math in his head before his large hands wrapped around her waist. He kissed the side of her neck before turning her to look up at him, smiling at her huge grin.

"Hi baby."

"Hi. I missed you." He leaned down capturing her lips in a sweet kiss before it turned more heated.

He reached down grabbing her behind the thighs before pulling her up quickly as she landed with her legs draped over his biceps.

"Woaaahh there big boy, we've still got a week left." She ran her fingers through his hair as he kissed up the insides of her thighs, alternating between them.

He huffed, looking up at her with lust blown eyes. "You can't wear this anymore then. Where did you even find this shirt?"

"That is neither here nor there, the better question is where did you learn to do" she gestured around them with her hands, "THAT."

He grinned, "Oh you like that?"

She hummed her approval as her feet swayed idly, "I could get some use out of it, yes. But you didn't answer the question."

"Competitive cheerleading." He lifted the shirt, kissing just below her belly button before lowering her back down and heading to the fridge.

She stood there dumbfounded, "Uh...do you really think you're just going to drop that bomb and I'm going to ignore it!? You did competitive cheerleading?"

"No, but it's an amazing full body workout."

She scrunched her mouth together and drew her eyebrows in, looking super perplexed. "Well...alright then Mr. Beaumont. Go ahead with your bad self." She smacked his ass as he chuckled, smacking her back.

"Yeah you're gonna think go ahead. You've got a week, you better be doing stretches!" He called to her retreating form as she pulled his tee shirt up and flashed her ass at him.

"Promises, promises."

My Only Wish

Maxwell x Erin

Warnings: language, I have a problem.

This is my entry for @leelee10898 12 Days of Christmas fics! We’re on Day 6 guys and gals!

My song was My Only Wish (This Year) - Britney Spears Merry Christmas everybody, hope you enjoy!!

Erin sat in the floor of her and Maxwell's bedroom, wrapping paper and bows littered the floor all around her. She had tape stuck to her legs and arms, a big red bow stuck on top of her head, singing Christmas songs as she wrapped presents.

“I want a hippopotamus for Christmas, only a hippopotamus will dooooo! Don't want a doll, no dinky tinker toy, I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy!”

She continued wrapping a train set up for Bartie with Thomas the Train wrapping paper, sticking a pretty blue bow on top. I've already got my own hippopotamus to play with and enjoy, smirking to herself as she grabbed the next gift to wrap. A bath set for Savannah, worst sister-in-law ever. She rolled her eyes, wrapping that up in some purple glitter foil paper, the kind you can't tear for anything, and a red bow. She doesn't get to have a matching bow. Snickering she slid it over to the pile of already wrapped gifts.

“Have a merry, merry, merry fricken Christmas! I must be on Santa Claus' shit list! The tree, the gifts, the mistletoe kiss! Shoot, me now, I'm sick of all my relatives!”

Sliding the next gift over for wrapping and smiling to herself. Red and gold Gryffindor pumps for Gen, you're welcome Rashad. All wrapped up in gift wrap with little Harry Paw-ter cats and topped with a golden bow. Next was Anitah's, she was going to love this. A pair of Gryffindor feety pajamas! These are so cute, I need to get me some but ya know...Ravenclaw. Wrapping those in the same Harry Paw-ter paper but topping it with a red bow. She slid both of those to the side and leaned back against the foot of the bed.

“Have a holly, jolly Christmas. And when you walk down the street, say hello to friends you know, and everyone you meet!”

“Well I better get back to work so I can get this done before Max gets home. I've still got to think of something for him.” Grabbing a big, squishy Amazon package she opened it revealing a super fluffy throw blanket with a raven on it. Those of wit and learning will always find their kind. Pam is going to love this! Happily wrapping it in the Harry Paw-ter paper and topping it with a blue bow. Alicia's was her last one to wrap today and she was super excited about this one! A whole crate of JJ's Caramel Apple Pies! She's going to flip, she loves these things. She grabbed the beautiful festive paper for this one, with little santas and snowmen on it, and topped it off with a green bow.

“We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January. This is our place, we make the rules. And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear. Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?”

“Dammit Alicia you got this song stuck in my head, I was trying to be festive. Well, that's everybody's for right now, but I really need to think of something for Max. He deserves the world, I've got to give him something special.” Just then she heard footsteps and the unmistakable sound of Maxwell singing to himself.

"Santa can you hear me? I have been so good this year"

Is he singing Britney Spears?

"And all I want is one thing, tell me my true love is near!"

Yep, that's definitely Britney bitch.

"She's all I want, just for me, underneath my Christmas tree. I'll be waiting here, Santa that's my only wish this year!"

Only wish huh?

The following day was Christmas Eve, they had both stayed busy gathering last minute gifts and having a video Christmas with her family back home.

"I'm gonna hop in the shower real quick babe, then we can watch Christmas movies if you want. I even got the stuff for hot chocolate!" He waggled his eyebrows as he smiled at her before heading to the bathroom.

I really want to join him in the shower...NO...mission HoHo is a go. No time for that! She jumped up, grabbing a bag from under her side of the bed and changing into the red lace and mesh babydoll with an open front, and a matching pair of red lace boy shorts. Sitting beside the tree she grabbed a bow and stuck it on top of her head, scrambling to finish as she heard the shower cut off.

Max walked back into the room, boxers slung low on his hips and his hair still slightly dripping. Why does he have to be so distracting right now? She subtly licked her lips and smiled when he turned to look at her, eyes widening at her outfit.

"Well what do we have here?" He quirked an eyebrow, smirking before approaching his wife, kneeling down in front of her.

"You said you wanted your true love under the Christmas tree, here we are!" She smirked, holding her arms out.

“I can’t believe you heard that!” He laughed, “This is the best gift I could’ve gotten babe.” placing his hand on her crossed leg and rubbing his thumb over her smooth skin.

“But this isn’t even the good part.” she smiled, hand reaching behind her back to pull something out and lay it across her protruding belly.

His eyes widened, a smile spreading across his face as he let out a small huffed laugh.

"No way...you were right?" He couldn't shake the smile from his face as his fingers traced the design. "This is beautiful."

"Just like she's going to be beautiful." His eyes finally met hers, so much love shining in them that her breath caught in her throat.

He leaned forward, pressing a kiss to her forehead, "I love you so much." Then leaned down to press a kiss against her belly, "and I love you so, so much little girl."

She placed her hands on his cheeks, running her thumbs across his cheekbones, leaning in to kiss him sweetly and whisper against his lips "Your girls love you so much more, daddy. Merry Christmas." This time it was him who leaned in to kiss her, slow and deep.

“I definitely got more than I could’ve ever wished for with you, and this is only the beginning.”

“You’re always gonna be my Christmas wish Max.”

Santa can you hear me? I have been so good this year And all I want is one thing Tell me my true love is near He's all I want, just for me Underneath my Christmas tree I'll be waiting here Santa that's my only wish this year

Love You Through It

Maxwell x Erin

This is a guest fic for @cordoniansgonewild collectively written by @ao719 @cocomaxley @leelee10898 and @speedyoperarascalparty.

This is for two different prompt requests, hope y'all don't mind I put them together. 😘

December 21st

"I'm glad you finally finished painted so we could get in here and try to put all the little touches on it. I could've helped you know."

"You're not painting while you're pregnant, you weren't even coming in here if I could help it." Max stated matter of factly, dropping a rolled blush pink faux fur rug on the wooden floor of the nursery.

Erin stood on her tiptoes as he met her halfway for a sweet kiss.

"Let's put the crib together first, that way we can visualize where everything else is going."

20 minutes into building the crib she had tears in her eyes from laughing so hard. They had lost the allen wrench at least 5 times already, she had dropped the bed rail on his foot, but they were finally making some progress!

"Where...the hell...is the allen wrench this time!?" Max growled, quickly turning in a circle as Erin busted out laughing.

"It's...it's...oh my god I'm gonna pee!" She laughed even harder, motioning for him to stop as she grabbed the wrench from behind his ear.

"She's probably not even going to sleep in this thing, we're gonna feel real dumb then won't we?" He chuckled, tightening the last screw and stepping back flourishing his hands towards the crib "TA DAAA!!!"

She smiled stepping up beside him, placing her hand over her belly as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"I love it. Now let's move it over there!" She pointed to the opposite side of the room as Max sighed.

"You mean let me move it over there...all the way over there. Why?"

"I can help! I'm not completely useless you know. And there's more natural light over there, she'll be happier." She said as she picked up one end of the crib.

Max smiled down at her, for being so scared when they first found out about little miss she sure was going to be the best mom. It was like a complete transformation. He picked the other side of the crib up and they shuffled it over to the other wall, that he had painted with a white design over the light grey paint.

"Much better. Now, the rug can go here...we can put the rocker over there...she'll need a bookshelf for all her books…" he silenced her with a sweet kiss, taking her by the hand and twirling her.

She laughed as he spun her, "what are you doing?"

He pulled her back in close and began to sway with her, "What is it that you tell me? I'm just happy." He smiled down at her as he dropped her into a perfect dip, kissing her again.

"I hope our daughter is as go with the flow as you are, hopefully she has your temperament. Otherwise lord help the other kids at court." She chuckled, "I don't think they could handle a mini me."

"Well I happen to think you're pretty amazing. Our daughter is going to be so lucky with you as a mother." He twirled her one more time before they went back to decorating.

A faux fur rug, a grey washed rocking chair and ottoman, Max had ran out to get her a simple white bookshelf that stood 3 foot high that now housed a multitude of books. She had white curtains hanging over the two windows in her bedroom, and her closet was already full of little dresses and onesies.

"Now we just have to go pick out some decorations and bedding for her before she makes her debut." He smiled, looking around the room, eyes falling on her asleep in the rocking chair.

He chuckled, lifting her bridal style and carrying her back to their bedroom. It had been a long day, he was surprised she had made it without a nap anyway. She'd needed her rest, and truth be told so did he...tomorrow was going to be a rough day.

When you're weak, I'll be strong When you let go, I'll hold on When you need to cry, I swear That I'll be there to dry your eyes When you feel lost and scared to death, Like you can't take one more step Just take my hand, together we can do it I'm gonna love you through it.

December 22nd

Erin woke to the immediate need to pee, rolling out of bed and trudging to the bathroom. When she came back she saw that the bed was in fact empty, Maxwell's phone was still sitting on the nightstand though so she figured he must just be around. She made a trip down to the kitchen and back before she started to wonder where he had gotten off to. She checked her phone and saw that she had a text from Leo, "Just wanted to make sure he's ok today. It's always a hard day for him."

Her eyes widened, that's today!? She hurried to the spare bedroom down the hall and began carrying things into the nursery. She had gotten the decor already, she didn't want to tell him because it was to be a surprise. Today seemed like the perfect day to show him everything, since this was part of the reason she picked the theme. Today was the anniversary of his mother's death.

She got everything put up and it looked perfect, she was so happy with how it turned out and she hoped he would be too. She had another big surprise for him, she headed back to their room to turn on a home video. Watching as a tiny Bertrand and Maxwell ran around the room, the sound of their mothers laughter ringing out in the background. She smiled, she had found these videos a few months ago and she watched them when Max was gone. This was part of his surprise, she had something made special for him and their baby, and she was so excited to show him.

"What...WHAT are you doing!?" She jumped, turning to see Max moving quickly towards the tv before he ripped the cord out of the wall.

Her eyes widened as he turned towards her, eyes wild and breathing labored.

"WHERE DID YOU FIND THOSE!?" He shouted, moving to stand 2 foot from where she was standing by the couch.

"I-I found them in the library Max...I thought you might like to watch them, they're so adorable and your mother"

"YOU WILL NOT TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER, WE DON'T TALK ABOUT MOTHER!"

She could see the tears in his frantic eyes as he had started shaking. She gulped, taking a step towards him but he stepped back. She hung her head willing the tears to subside.

I was only trying to do something nice...to celebrate her, to bring him some sort of comfort...so much for that gift.

"I'm sorry Max." She whispered, walking past him and out the bedroom door.

He sat down on the couch, head falling into his palms as he tried to calm his breathing. Running his fingers through his hair he pounded his fist on the coffee table, turning to look towards the open door before he flopped back on the couch and heard a muffled noise come from a lump under his back. Sitting back up he saw a stuffed hippo with a little red heart on his belly. He picked the soft toy up, examining it before pressing the heart.

"I love you so much, my precious baby"

Tears immediately began flowing from his eyes as his hands started shaking again. He pressed the button again, hearing his mothers voice come from the toy over and over.

What have I done? I promised her I'd never hurt her...mother would be so disappointed. This is the most thoughtful gift anyone has ever gotten me. I've got to go find her.

He walked the halls until he passed the nursery, hearing soft sniffles coming from the cracked door. He gently pushed the door open as his eyes widened. Hippos?

She had decorated the nursery while he was gone, a beautiful hippo princess bed set was covering his daughters crib...a ballerina hippo mobil hung over the top of it...beautiful and meaningful animal pictures hung on the wall over the bookshelf and there was a rocking hippo with a tutu by the window. Then his eyes landed on her, sitting on the rug holding a smaller hippo that looked just like the one he had found.

She had one made for our daughter too...I can't believe I yelled at her…

Fresh tears streamed down his face as he fell to his knees behind her, pulling her back against his chest.

"I'm so sorry baby, so so sorry. I shouldn't have reacted that way." He kissed the top of her head, arms wrapping around her bump.

She shook her head, wrapping her hands around his biceps, "No I'm sorry Max, I was just trying to do something meaningful and surprise you. I shouldn't have assumed you'd be fine with it."

"No, no, I'm fine now I promise. I...found the hippo." He felt her stiffen in his arms.

"I wanted to surprise you with them, I thought you'd be happy we could include your mother in her life even in this small way."

"I love them, and I love you. So much. Mother would've loved little miss, this is so perfect. She would've loved you too, I just know it."

"So what do you think of the nursery? We can change it if you want." She muttered.

"I love it…I wouldn't change a thing. You know how much this means to me, my mother, the hippo...it's perfect."

"Max, I'm sorry I upset you, but surely you know I'd never do anything like this to hurt you...right?"

He could hear her voice catch and it made his heart clench. He did know that, he knew she would never intentionally hurt him, especially like this. He hadn't meant to react that way.

"I know you wouldn't. It was a knee-jerk reaction, I saw the video and I panicked. It's been so long since we've watched those...since I've heard her voice."

She turned, draping her legs over his one leg as she snuggled closer into his chest.

"She was beautiful, and she seemed like so much fun. You definitely take after her, in looks as well as personality it seems like. I see why she was so important to you."

"Father...he never loved me. He never loved anybody, but his image. Our image. That didn't change even when mother was so sick. He never wanted it to get out. House Beaumont didn't need people's sympathy." His lip trembled and he buried his face in her neck, pulling her in as close as he could.

She stroked her fingers through his hair, "She knew Max, she knew how much you loved her. She still knows how much you love her. She'll always be with you, ya know. She'd be so proud of the man you've become."

"She really would be." He mumbled into her hair, rubbing circles over her side with his thumb.

"You're an accomplished author, you sponsored the queen, you're an amazing brother, uncle, father, husband and friend."

He lifted his head as he spoke, "she'd be proud of me for being the man that you need. That my kids need. She wouldn't care about the fame or fortune, she never did. She'd be proud of me for finding you, for finding true love, and for holding on for dear life." He pressed his lips to hers in a breathtaking kiss.

And when this road gets too long I'll be the rock you lean on Just take my hand, together we can do it I'm gonna love you through it.

Does anyone else remember that real wedding mentioned in Lover? This is where my brain wanders late at night…

He proposed (he was determined to do it right) while they were on vacation in beautiful Santorini. They had just jumped from the edge of the cliffs surrounding Ammoudi Bay, falling fast and laughing loud, hands clasped tightly together as they landed in the warm water below. He got too excited, the adrenaline kicking in and he immediately pulled the ring box from the secure pocket of his trunks, asking her to marry him (again) right there in the water. She nearly drowned. From excitement, but also because she can't swim very well.

Their wedding was held at the Ramsford estate, she called it her dream come true. Their colors were a pale sage green and white. Neither being able to decide on one best man or maid of honor, each had four. You know who they were. Little Bartie was the cutest ring bearer, laughing his way down the aisle as his uncle made silly faces to coax him to the altar. In front of friends and family they read their handwritten vows, sealing their lives and love with a kiss this side of the Atlantic.

Their first dance was to Love Song by Adele, Maxwell initially picked it but they both agreed on it...both shedding a few tears as they danced close. The cake was a rich chocolate, with fresh strawberries and cheesecake filling between the layers. She smashed some in his face and he licked it off her fingers, their smiles never faltering.

I don't always have to be upbeat and happy, I don't have to cheer you up when I'm falling apart...when I'm dying on the inside. I can be mad, I can be upset, I can be down and you won't judge me...you listen to me and you help me deal with things. I don't have to be anything to be with you except myself and I fucking love you so much for that.

- Maxwell

Up in Flames

This is my entry for the 12 Days of Fictmas 2020, straight from the CGW AU @cordoniansgonewild created by @ao719 @cocomaxley @leelee10898 and @speedyoperarascalparty, and contributed to by lil old me.

Pairing: Maxwell x Erin (OC)

The wind whirled around them as they strolled through the Christmas tree farm tucked back in the countryside near Ramsford, Cadence and Bartie looked around wide eyed at all the trees. Some were decorated, some had been tagged, and soon they came upon a very large tree nestled in the back...with an enormous octopus topper sitting proudly at the crest.

"I can't believe we're out here doing this." Bertrand grumbled, pulling his sweater tighter around his body. Savannah elbowed him in the side, but it was too late. Erin turned with a face splitting smile.

"It's Christmas B, you have to have a real tree. The smell of it alone is just chefs kiss" she motioned with her hand before turning to see Maxwell preparing to cut the tree down with an ax. Her eyes widened, "Oh no, absolutely not! They will cut these down for you!"

"Truly they're both mad." Bertrand mumbled under his breath.

He watched as Erin tried to take the ax from Maxwell, only for him to hold it over his head out of her reach. She reached out and tickled him and he dropped it, nearly hitting her in the head, but they both laughed and shared a kiss before heading to get someone to cut the tree down. As he watched them walk away he thought back to the catastrophe that had brought them here.

••••• The Day Before •••••

Bertrand sat on the veranda along the side of the estate, enjoying his morning cup of coffee - black - when he smelled something terrible. He followed the smell to the back of the house, and as he rounded the corner his eyes widened in disbelief. Erin stood watch over a 10 ft tall flame, looking very pleased with herself. His shock turned to anger as he realized that the inferno was actually the faux Christmas tree they had been using for years. As he marched over to her, Maxwell came sprinting out the back door with his hands raised.

"Bertrand I told her we could get a real tree next year, that the staff had already put this one up!" Erin cut him off, smiling sweetly at her brother in law.

"You guys tell me every year we'll get rid of this thing and get a REAL Christmas tree, I took the liberty of doing away with it so nobody forgets and puts it up again." She narrowed her eyes at both the men, watching Maxwell's adams apple bob as he gulped and Bertrand's face go beet red.

Bertrand opened his mouth to speak, but Cadence and Bartie came bounding out the door before he could get started.

"Father!"

"Uncle Bertrand!"

They both threw their arms around either of his legs and smiled up at him. "I can't believe we finally get to go to the Christmas tree farm tomorrow, aunt Erin is the best!" Bartie blushed, "sorry uncle Max." He added sheepishly.

"Yeah mommy says we get to go get a beautiful tree, and decorate it ourselves!" Bertrand's eyes snapped back to Erin and she shot him a wink.

"That's right babies, a real family tradition." As she walked past Bertrand on the way back inside she leaned in to whisper…

••••• Present •••••

"Momma said fuck that fake tree, so now we get a real one!" Cadence cheered gleefully as they continued to skip around the Christmas tree that had been chosen, each holding an octopus tentacle.

"Yeah, fuck that fake tree!" Bartie chimed in, holding his small fist in the air. Savannah snorted trying to hold in a laugh as Bertrand just sighed.

Hxnsjsndbbdbdbdkddb. I just let out a squeal that made my bf look at me like i was crazy (i am a little bit!) For the prompt, can it be Erin's first royal ball/party? Mainly maxwell x erin centric but featuring the whole cgw crew too? The rating is up to you guys? THANK YOU TIMES INFINITY. Also no rush, just when you can! Ty ty tyyyyyyy!! - Previous anon that ask for the prompt 😭🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗

You are too freaking cute! Here you go! I hope you love it, it’s a mess and a half but I was excited to get it out, lol.

Erin sat in the middle of the Ramsford boutique, pouting...if we're being honest.

"I had these brought in, they should fit perfectly over your bump babe."

She glared at the back of Maxwell's head, mocking his speech about the formal dresses he had picked out for her to choose from. It was to be her first royal event, at his insistence, and she was fat and cranky and had no interest in attending whatsoever.

The Winter Gala, in fricken Lythikos...I'm from FLORIDA. I'm going to freeze. I'm going to be fat and frozen. I want to be like Elsa and let it go, and by it I mean Max and by go I mean BY HIMSELF. She rolled her eyes, groaning and causing Max to turn to look at her, eyebrow quirked.

"No"

"No what, Max?" She huffed.

"You're not getting out of going. You always do this, you've avoided them for almost an entire year now. I'm tired of fighting Adelaide off by myself." He was gesturing wildly with his hands, pretty sure he was fighting a losing battle but hoping for the best.

"Don't fight her off then."

His eyes widened. "Have you lost your mind?"

She shrugged. "Don't turn em' down, turn em' over." She giggled, his face a mix of exasperation and disgust.

"You looove me!" She taunted, blowing him a kiss before standing, waddling over to the dresses to see which ones he had found.

"I do, but you're being annoying this morning." He laughed, leaning over to kiss her on top of the head.

"I like this one best" she picked up a navy blue flowing gown with long sleeves, it had a light grey fur wrap with silver running through it hanging on the hanger also.

Max smiled, taking the dress from her and lacing his fingers with hers.

"You'll look beautiful!"

•••••••••••••

"You think they're actually coming this time?" Gen asked, sipping her Lythikos nog.

"10 bucks says she convinces him to just stay home." Alicia offered, tossing the rest of her nog back.

"I don't know, Max was pretty determined they were going to be here." Anitah added, shrugging.

"You know she'll eventually give in to him, it's why they work so well. It's always a joint effort." Pam smiled, watching her husband across the ballroom talking to the other guys.

Just then they saw people starting to turn towards the entrance, seeing Maxwell and Erin enter. He saw them and waved, making his way over to them with her hand firmly wrapped in his.

"Hey guys! We made it!" He beamed, squeezing Erin's hand as she smiled up at him.

"Glad I didn't bet money on that." Gen snickered as Alicia rolled her eyes, handing her a 10 out of her clutch.

"Glad you guys made it, Erin that dress is beautiful! And look at that bump, oh I miss it already!" Pam gushed, her and Anitah placing a hand on either side at the same time.

"She said it's too cold here for her too!" Erin laughed, smiling down at her friends trying to convince the baby to kick.

"I'm surprised you aren't bundled up more, don't you hate the cold?" Alicia asked, laughing at the expression on Erin's face.

"I literally fucking hate it." She whispered, "but look" she hiked her dress up to reveal grey, fleece lined leggings and fuzzy socks sticking out of her flats. Lowering her dress back down to cover everything, she laughed with the girls.

"You knew I wasn't going to come out here and completely freeze!" She looked up, eyes catching Maxwell's as he frantically motioned with his eyes at an older blonde woman standing precariously close and holding a martini.

"Adelaide wastes no time I see." Anitah rolled her eyes.

"She's just like her daughter...easy!" Gen added as the girls all laughed before Erin made her way over to where Max was.

His eyes lit up, silently thanking her for coming to his rescue.

"Oh Adelaide, I'd like you to meet my.."

"Erin" she cut him off, holding a hand out to Adelaide as she politely took her hand. "A pleasure to meet you Duchess, I've heard so much about you." She grinned, ignoring Maxwell's panicked expression.

"Oh really? Well have you heard all the rumors about Mr. Beaumont here? They say he's a very...gifted young man." Adelaide smirked, leaning closer to Maxwell.

Erin held her hands up about a foot apart, shaking her head. "Oh yeah, I've heard! I bet this one here could give the ride of your life!"

Max stood with a deadpan expression staring at Erin, wondering how the hell he got into this predicament, and better yet how he was going to get out of it.

•••••••••••••

"Erin just offered Beaumont up on a platter to the Duchess of thirst." Leo laughed, Liam spitting his drink and coughing as Rashad clapped him on the back.

"Are you serious?" Drake asked, still laughing. "I guess that's what he gets for making her come to this. Especially pregnant."

The guys all shook their heads agreeing, watching with wide eyes at the spectacle happening across the ballroom.

•••••••••••••

"I'm sure his wife doesn't appreciate such a beautiful specimen of a man. I could show him such a good time!" Adelaide dragged on as Max and Erin locked eyes, she threw him a wink and a smirk and he could only hope this didn't get crazy.

"I think his wife appreciates what an animal he is, very statuesque...Adonis himself should be jealous...hung like a horse...and that mouth." She fanned herself, "don't get me started!"

"Oh, you have been with the young Beaumont then?" Adelaide quirked an eyebrow at Maxwell, looking between him and his wife.

"Oh, over a hundred times. Sometimes five, six times a day!" Erin added some jazz hands for pizzazz.

"And what of his wife? I didn't think she would be so open to...traditional Cordonian marriage arrangements, given that she's from the states." Saying that last part with a hint of disgust, she let her eyes roam over Erin as she waited.

The tip of Erin's tongue ran along the edge of her teeth, a calming mechanism Max had seen many times, although tonight it was particularly exciting. Something about how she was giving Adelaide back as good as she got.

"This is actually his baby I'm carrying" Erin smiled sweetly, placing her hand protectively over her bump.

Adelaide scoffed, "What a joke his wife must really be then." She reached a hand out to touch her bump but before she could Erin's top lip quirked up at the corner, showing some teeth, and she let out a growl.

"Actually…I'm his wife. Lady Erin Beaumont, nice to meet you." She spoke through gritted teeth. "You're right about one thing, I don't really care much for the traditional Cordonian marriage" she did air quotes.

"Well then why are you here dear, surely you didn't want to hear what we were saying?" Adelaide laughed, looking to Maxwell for backup as he drew his eyebrows in looking at her like she was crazy.

"I'm here...Dear...because I'm saving my husband from the crazy cougar in the room. By the way, I bite." She leaned towards her snapping her teeth together before Maxwell grabbed her around the wrist, pulling her quickly towards the bathroom.

•••••••••••••

"And... there they go. Well at least they showed up this time!" Gen said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Honestly are we sure she's only having one baby? She's got to have like triplets in there at this point. That's all they do anymore." Alicia laughed.

"Oh like YOU'RE one to talk!" Anitah and Pam said in unison, all of them falling into a fit of laughter.

Olivia walked up, bringing the girls each another steaming mug of nog. "Could you four have found anyone else to match Maxwell and his ridiculous self any better?" She questioned, red lips turned down in the corners as she rolled her eyes, watching them bolt into the bathroom.

Pam and Alicia wordlessly high fived each other.
