This is the original that led to the rest of the set. It was inspired by someone looking for something similar to a set of borders from TS2 and failing to find them.

32 swatches: fish, balls, clouds, hearts, waves, 17 variations of elephant/dinosaur/bunny combo, 9 variations of penguins

Some swatches have been edited to improve their texture, and some are the original texture

Wall Borders for All Ages

Placeable wall borders to decorate your sims' rooms, extracted and recoloured from in-game wallpapers

This is the part that came from scrolling through TS4 wallpapers and finding things that would work as borders, but weren't necessarily mostly limited to kids' rooms

13 swatches: 6 variations of leaves, 3 colours of the Slide to Unlock wall, 4 variations of the Pastel Pop wall

See all the swatches and download here: https://curseforge.com/sims4/build-buy/wall-borders-for-all-ages

Wall Borders From TS3 Patterns

Placeable wall borders to decorate your sims' rooms, from patterns from The Sims 3

This is the part that came from discussing where to get more borders, because TS2 is images were not working at all. It's a mixture of different styes, for all ages

45 swatches: 3 variations of blue floral 4 variations of blue vines 2 kinds of trees 2 kinds of leaves 5 sets of flowers 2 unicorn swatches 2 butterflies 2 cowboys 5 kids space prints 2 blue with stars 2 sports (one a reverse of the other) cars pirate treasure animal portraits owls castles sea monster fish sheep ducks quilted abstract wave purple maze blue stucco

Wall Borders-Random Patterns

Placeable wall borders to decorate your sims' rooms, extracted and edited from random images in the game

This part comes from random things in the game that are not walls. It's a mixture of different styes, for all ages

43 swatches (42 if you get the CurseForge file, see below for an alternate download and what you'll be missing if you choose CurseForge): 3 ducks 3 hens 6 versions each of a cat and a dog with pawprints, including one with a transparent background 3 swimming fish fall flowers poinsettias 2 other flowers 4 variations of leaves with and without flowers with a transparent background 4 variations of leaves with and without flowers with a solid background hearts stars 2 versions of clouds 2 versions of bouncing dots/balls

Some swatches have been edited to improve their texture, some are recoloured, and some are the original texture

See all the swatches (again, so many swatches) and download here: https://curseforge.com/sims4/build-buy/wall-borders-random-patterns

Wall Borders-Butterfly, Teddy Bear, and Bunny

aka the ones I designed

Placeable wall borders to decorate your sims' rooms, created by me.

This part goes back to the original discussion of TS2 borders. There was one with a teddy bear on it that I wanted to have. The TS2 images that were available were not going to work, so I started with recreating that. Then I decided to do a version with a butterfly. And the bunny was a request--I don't think that one lives up to the original, but it's included

22 swatches: 7 butterflies 7 faded teddy bears 7 bright teddy bears 2 bunnies--to be added to since I have better inspiration now

See all the swatches (so many swatches) and download here: https://curseforge.com/sims4/build-buy/wall-borders-butterfly-teddy-bear-and-bunny

The Missing Swatch

When I made the random patterns file, I inlcuded this swatch

CurseForge's interpretation of Maxis's TOU says that I can't use it at all, even in with the rest of the swatches

If you get the file from CurseForge, that swatch has been removed. If you want that swatch, it's available here: http://www.simfileshare.net/download/4123031/

Only use one version. They are the same file except for the one swatch, and by using both you're just increasing the number of files in your game. Only one will load. I don't know which will win

Alternate download for the whole set (including the missing swatch): http://www.simfileshare.net/download/4123033/

So the final cause, if I recall my Aristotle (I was terrible at Aristotelian logic, or at least at what the badly illustrated homeschool textbook said was Aristotelian logic), was that my apartment has been growing irregularly more squalorous for months. Occasionally I would have a bout of energy and put my groceries in the pantry, but for the most part I've been doing well to keep up on the laundry. The proximal cause was... probably the coloring books.

Anyway, this morning I put on pants that were not sweatpants, probably for the first time in months, because going to get vaccinated is a festal occasion and one ought to look one's best. (I put on my cute top with the frilly shoulder straps and the little rosettes, too, since I figured it'd be smart to wear something sleeveless. And my combat boots with the pastel tiedye laces, in case of hiking, which also turned out to be smart. I was decked out.)

So then I went and showed a number of people my ID and my appointment email, and they poked me with a timy needle -- not as small as the one they used in the ER for the insulin that time, I didn't even feel that one, but a very nice thin needle compared to my usual standard of needles, which are the ones they use to try and get blood *out* of you, and often fail when you are me. Then they made me sit down for fifteen minutes in case I took an allergy, and then they gave me a lollipop (I got blue cotton candy, my favorite flavor) and a sticker with a hashtag on it and I left.

Then I got to wend my way back from the place where the vaccinations were happening -- it was a big event on the college campus, since they have a lot of nice big rooms and wide open spaces there -- and it happened I was coming back from a direction I do not usually wend my way from, and I dropped into Michaels. Usually I go to Joann's, because they have fabric, which Michaels doesn't, and Michaels is generally a bit froofier in the sorts of craft supplies they stock at least locally, but the Michaels and the Joann's are right across the street from each other, and I still haven't heard anything about my special order on the floss color that Joann's was out of. Michaels doesn't have the full range of DMC colors, but I took a look and they did in fact have the color I needed.

Then I wandered around some, because Michaels actually does have a bigger yarn selection than Joann's, and I found some Patons Kroy (my absolute favorite sock yarn for feel and texture) in a colorway I didn't loathe, which is *not* something I've been able to find since they stopped making that one colorway with all the orange and black and gray stripes, which I loved dearly and can't remember the name of. So I was like "this will be just the thing for that one lace scarf I was looking at that needs wool yarn in case it has to be blocked to look right", because knitted lace is like that and you can't block acrylic. You can "kill" acrylic but that's different and I'd rather not.

Um. Anyway. Then I wandered around some more, because I get into Michaels so seldom that it's handy to look at what-all they've got while I'm there. Over the past... week or so I have had a sudden bout of wanting to color in coloring books, because that happens to me sometimes; there was an impulse trip to the Walmart way out in the boondocks on the unlit road for Crayola colored pencils, because I decided I was not going to pay eight times as much for Prismacolors.

(The really infuriating thing about coloring books, in my opinion, is that right now you can either find the kiddie newsprint coloring books which are with us always, of course, or you can find "adult coloring books" which are *in-fucking-variably* filled with horses and lions and whales and other large charismatic mammals covered in what look for all the world like quilting patterns. If I wanted to color a rendition of a quilt filled with tiny stripes and polka dots, I'd get some graph paper! And the dots and lines and so forth are so tiny that you can *only* color them with colored pencils, because that's Adulty.)

(Yes, I know they sell coloring pages on Etsy and places. I've been avoiding the print shop for at least a month and a half now, when if I would put the things on my thumb drive and go to it, I could start getting my student loans out of default. I would never wind up printing coloring pages off of Etsy. No, I don't know why. Print shops scare me, perhaps slightly worse than post offices.)

Um. Where was I? So I had gone way far out to the Walmart nobody goes to which therefore often has interesting things in stock, and I had discovered that Crayola still does the glitter crayons I had coveted as a tiny, and they also make double-ended scented markers, which are like the coolest thing ever to the tiny early-nineties child I still am in my heart. So as of this morning, my kitchen counter was completely covered with... things. There was already the sewing machine and the Dr Pepper that doesn't taste like an old shoe, and the peanut butter and the elephant-shaped porcelain wax-warmer, but there had been a narrow slot where I could put a plate and eat my meals -- my only table having been co-opted a year ago by my workstation. Now that slot was filled with various Crayola products and a coloring book with mermaids in it, which at least had a few pages that could be colored partly with markers or crayons, instead of being entirely minced into geometric shapes barely larger than a pencil lead.

SO, what happened after I got vaccinated and found yarn and floss, is that I found out that Crayola still makes the *pearlescent* crayons I coveted even more as a kid. I had gotten one in a little sample pack included with my big 64-box, and it was very precious to me. It's long gone now, of course.

So of course then I bought the pearlescent crayons, and then I bitched at Leia for a while about how I didn't have any coloring books I could use these wonderful crayons *on* unless I wanted to go back to the Lisa Frank newsprint of my youth. (They did actually have Lisa Frank. I strongly considered it. But my tastes have evolved beyond newsprint.)

Then I googled some things, and I found Walmart listing a Crayola mandala coloring book. I went to look for it, and I didn't find it, but I did find a different coloring book with "stained glass" style pictures (sadly not on actual tracing paper, but it occurs to me that if I could source some tracing paper, which it further occurs to me that I haven't seen in years although admittedly I haven't been looking, that I could *trace them* and color them and tape them on my windows like the tacky '90s kid I am), which GLORY HALLELUJAH has spaces big enough to fucking color in!

...Michaels also had neon and metallic Crayola crayons. I might go back. They were 24-packs of each. The single silver and gold crayons from my mom's 64-pack were pretty much only used for Easter eggs in our house, so as not to use them up. I just -- I have a wealth beyond imagining of special effect crayons and markers available to me, and I'm struggling to find anywhere to use them. This seems backwards.

So anyway, then I also found a cute sundress big enough to go over my ass, and then I sat in the furniture section for a while and pondered buying a new table so I wouldn't have to keep stacking coloring books on top of the peanut butter jar in order to eat, and it occurred to me that if I took down my Christmas tree, which I've had up since the Before Times (having gotten it from in fact the same Walmart east of anywhere after all the rest in town were sold out of the particular model), then I would have a space along the back of the kitchen counter where I could hypothetically put a table.

So, because I am a sensible and moderate individual, I bought a thing of string to tie up the Christmas tree branches with, and did not buy a table yet. Then it was time for D&D, so I hurried home and put my vaccination card on the fridge and got into the voice chat and started taking down the Christmas tree.

Then it was five hours later, and I had started konmari-ing the whole apartment in order to have somewhere to store the Christmas tree, and I had discovered that my closet shelf was almost entirely full of empty cardboard boxes, so I had pulled all those out and rifled through them to make sure they didn't contain anything important, and after rescuing three cards from a friend and one glasses chamois, I stuffed most of the boxes in a trash bag, jammed the condensed Christmas tree and all the winter blankets and my air mattress and various other wintry things into the giant box my office chair came in, managed to get that giant box up onto the closet shelf (I have some soreness around my injection site but I honestly don't know if it's a side effect of the vaccination or a pulled muscle from wiggling a very large heavy box into a very tight space over my head), and moved the Goodwill oddities into a midsize box that I think I brought my workstation home in, but they just moved the remaining onsite agents into a much smaller room so I don't think I'm going to be asked to bring my workstation back for a while, and when I do go to bring it back I think the monitors will fit nicely in my washtub.

(I'm giving Goodwill my crockpot. After I forgot the garbanzos in it for three days until the chicken broth started to stink, I decided I am not a person who needs to own a crockpot. Also something like eight skeins of rather ugly yarn because I bought too much for the baby blankets I was making.)

(I'm not sure why I own a washtub. It's bright blue and plastic. It does have a use, which is to hand-wash my weighted blanket in occasionally, as of course you can't put twenty-odd pounds of glass baubles in a washing machine.)

(I certainly did make some life choices that led me here, did I not.)

Annnnyway, so now I have an almost empty three-drawer Rubbermaid dresser, an entirely empty and extremely large Rubbermaid tote (I'm pretty sure I could trap myself in there, but I haven't tried), a mostly empty square ottoman which is also a storage box, and a royal shitton of tiny things like office supplies and party favors that don't *go* anywhere.

"A place for everything" is the really hard part, you know. I achieved it once. Then I moved out of that apartment and have never achieved it again. Once things *have* places, then even if you don't have the spoons to put the peanut butter jar back in the pantry right *now*, you know it has a spot between the Hormel and the Chef Boyardee, and it's way easier than "oh god if I open the pantry there won't be any room and I'll wind up putting the peanut butter under the bathroom sink with the Johnnie Walker Black or maybe over the kitchen sink on top of the Thermacare back wraps."

(You're supposed to store whisky upright in a cool dark place, okay. None of the upper cabinet shelves are tall enough, so I could have put it either directly over the water heater or directly next to the oven. Instead it lurks behind the toilet paper, next to the Clorox wipes and the pre-pandemic Lush bath bomb, which I should... probably use at some point.)

Erm. So then I was pondering what-all storage I would need to source in order to begin having places in which to put things, *findable* places which is the real grail, and -- I think I took a pause to read Dreamwidth and someone linked me a plushie trilobite, okay. I haven't yet entirely decided whether to buy it, but it occurred to me that I definitely have no home for a plushie trilobite, any more than for the amazing Zaeed plushie currently trapped under my cross stitching or the Star Wars Build-a-Bear who was supposed to make Ewok noises until three weeks of freeze-thaw cycle in a malfunctioning package locker did for his electronic squeaker, or the poor American Girl doll languishing inside the ottoman.

So then I was like "we used to have that little net corner hammock for stuffed animals when I was a kid, we never could get it mounted right, but perhaps with fewer cooks that would be a good option". So I googled for one, and all I could find was an assortment of JUMBO five-or-six-foot-long double-deep toy hammocks, obviously necessary to keep your child from drowning in the flood of stuffed animals that have taken over beds in the past thirty years.

(Okay, I was pretty toy-deprived as a kid, the 1980s were not in general what you would call a time of less stuff in American households. Still. I have a twin bed. I can hardly even *find* a toy hammock that wouldn't be bigger than my bed in some dimension.)

So then, it being the aforementioned five hours later with a lot of D&D combined with hard physical labor in the middle, I said to myself, said I, "Hammocks are made out of net, and nets are made out of strings." And by god, if there is one thing I'm better at than another, it is making things out of string. I've never actually gotten around to trying out the whole process of making an actual fisherman's net, which is much more closely related to tatting than to knitting, but I have yarn and most of the possible knitting or crocheting supplies I would need to invent things.

Which, at long last, explains why I have paused to write this halfway through creating a triangular filet crochet toy hammock out of sparkly yellow yarn.

Joann's is having a 50% off sale on plastic storage whatsits tomorrow, but I think I'll probably spend a large part of the day putting office supplies into ziploc bags and hanging them in rows on the wall with pushpins so as to figure out what-all I in fact own.

#i feel like this probably needs at least a few warning tags #but i have no idea what those would be at this point

They were tangled up on the couch. Lizzie had her legs crossed under the quilt, nose buried in her new book about elephants. Westlie was curled against her so her cheek was almost brushing Lizzie’s hair; legs to the side, elbow on the back of the couch propping herself up. She was buried in her own book on wind patterns. Morgan was across the room humming a waltz under her breath, popping little candies she got from her last trip to the Reach into her mouth every few seconds. She’d gotten several bags of them, but Westlie had only seen her pull them out on soft, quiet nights like this.

Their little apartment wasn’t big. It was barely enough for the two couches, stairs to Westlie’s left, and tiny kitchen with a small table to her right. The entrance was behind her, no entranceway. The living room had come with the two couches, so they were old and stained. The wood floors creaked, and the wallpaper was a hideous lime green that was peeling in the northern corner where the water closet had leaked and started water damage. But it was clean, and it was getting patched. Morgan had thrown herself into projects and called in every single favor from every single journeyman she knew in London to learn construction. Little by little it was becoming home.

Westlie looked over at Morgan affectionately and smiled.

Morgan caught the end of the look and blushed. She seemed secretly pleased, but grumpy about getting caught off-guard, which was normal. Yeah, whatever.

Westlie made sure she kept the softness in her eyes. I’m proud of you.

You’re a fucking moron. But Morgan was still pink when she went back to her book.

After a few more minutes of reading, Lizzie yawned beside her. It was her second yawn in as many minutes, Westlie realized. The woman had started surreptitiously keeping track because it seemed a better tell than a set bedtime. After the yawns started to flow together and Lizzie’s head began drifting farther down into the book, Westlie gently rubbed her arm to get her attention. “Hey,” she whispered.

“Hm.”

“Bedtime.”

Lizzie yawned again as she stretched out on the couch and drooped so her legs hung off the side. She’d gotten a little bit taller, and Westlie noticed a few scrapes on her knees that hadn’t been there before as the blanket fell off. They were already scabbing over.

Westlie pushed herself off and gently folded the blanket while Lizzie yawned again.

“I’m too tired to move.”

“But awake enough to keep reading?”

Lizzie was shoving the book in her coveralls already with a guilty look. Westlie and Morgan weren’t going to stop her from reading past her bedtime because that would be hypocritical, but Westlie could sure as hell tease about it when she was sleepy the next day. Lizzie shamelessly handed the teasing back when Westlie was yawning at work anyway, so it came full-circle.

Westlie offered her arms to carry her up the stairs and Lizzie accepted like a small black-hair koala, balancing expertly on Westlie’s hip. She leaned her head on the woman’s shoulder and yawned again. She was still small for a ten-year-old, Westlie realized as she started up the stairs, which was the only reason they could still do this. Lizzie was still in that thin, wiry child stage, and she hadn’t gained much height since she’d been with them. Maybe an inch or so. She was still getting heavy though. By next year maybe, this would be impossible.

Westlie shifted Lizzie forward ever so slightly when she reached the top of the stairs and kissed her hair. Lizzie sank deeper against her shoulder with another little yawn.

There were two bedrooms on the tiny apartment’s second floor. It was Westlie’s executivie decision that Lizzie should have her own room if there was the option, because she deserved it, and because Morgan still occasionally fucked off to wherever she went in London, or came home at 4am, and in general, couldn’t be trusted to not leave the room empty 50% of the time. So they took the room at the end of the hallway, and Lizzie had her own small bedroom. Aesthetically it was quite like the living room; wallpapered in an ugly lime print with some peeling wallpaper in the corners. But it was hers.

Lizzie had started decorating it with little touches that made it not-so-ugly too. She’d found a crate and a vase from somewhere, placed them in the corner, and picked flower crystal to decorate. Westlie and Morgan didn’t give a shit about coloring on old wallpaper either, so she’d taken the bottom half of the room as her sketchbook. Little drawings of houses that were getting more and more detailed covered a third of the bottom wall at this point. There were some drawings of people with red hair; some diagrams of tunnels with a small figure with black hair.

Westlie flicked on the lamp with one hand, kissing Lizzie’s head softly as she turned down the covers. She leaned down and let the girl fall gently onto the bed. She turned her back after a moment to give her some privacy, examining the wall for any new drawings.

Lizzie tossed her coveralls onto the foot of the bed and flung herself back in bed with a thunk of the mattress.

Westlie smiled as she turned back around and she couldn’t resist leaning down and kissing Lizzie’s forehead again. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Westlie was never going to get tired of how easily the words came out now. They were hard-won, and they made her heart burst. She let her eyes run over Lizzie as she tucked her in, making sure everything was set. “Do you want me to keep the light on?”

“Yes, please.”

Westlie slipped over to the door, still smiling as she pulled it shut. “Good night, Lizzie.”

“Good night, love you.”

#liztlie au #i woke up and had this image and it was so cute I refused to not write it #fuck everything this is 100% the epilogue #this is how things turn out

Early

✦ Summary: This wasn’t how it was supposed to be - he came, and he came way too fucking early. ✦ Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female Reader ✦ Warnings: Angst, emotional distress, medical situations ✦ Word Count: 2.2k ✦ Author’s Note: As a NICU parent myself, let me just say: it sucks. It sucks so much. And big nasty emotions tend to bubble up and surge forward with stunning explosions because of it. ✦ Playlist: Here [Masterlist]

You had spent a full month comparing names, lists never quite matching up. Anthony was out - Steve had named his son that. And Steven was too much for a baby to live up to, obviously. Maybe a middle name? he had mused late one night in bed, hand splayed over the growing bump. You had gone over family trees for inspiration. I have Michaels, and Benjamins, and Hirams, and a Silas. Silas Barnes, whaddya think of that, babe? you had laughed.

Would he sleep in Becca’s room? Was she even old enough for that yet? Should he get his own or sleep in your room? God, what colors should you paint the room? Do you use the pack n’ play or buy a new bassinet? A co-sleeper, honey, are you crazy? This onesie or the gray one? Elephant plush or dinosaur? Timothy, what do you think of Timothy? After Dum Dum? How about Gabe? Gabriel? I like that. Gabriel James Barnes.

It didn’t matter now. None of those arguments or stupid late night ramblings mattered.

“Barnes. Mother. 1972381.”

“Just a moment, Mrs. Barnes.”

You hang up the phone and turn to eye the SHIELD agent mopping the floor by the elevator. The soft sounds of the TV in the waiting room merging with the wet swishes of the mop. A small buzz, then the doors to the ward are opening. The lights are blindingly bright in the hallway, compared to the rest of the dimmed hospital.

Placing the small container of milk on top of the long sink, you roll up the sleeves of your robe and push the hospital band higher on your forearm. Lathering the harsh soap into your cracked hands, the three-minute video starts playing as the sink starts up. Eyes dully watching the digital clock below the monitor.

“Talk to our dedicated staff about our Kangaroo care options.”

You roll your eyes as you rub up and down your arms. The video finishes and the sink shuts off. Drying your hands on the rough paper towels, you grab the milk and make your way down the hall. It’s quiet. It always is.

Babies don’t cry here. Parents do. Mothers and fathers broken by circumstance. Words of support and pictures of healthy children line the halls. The clicking of a keyboard from the office as the night shift nurse peers out at you. Your swollen feet softly stepping down the worn path to room five. Grabbing a mask from the dispenser outside the door before quietly making your way inside.

Karen, the room nurse, types away on her computer, soft light falling from under the cabinets. Beeps and hums from the monitors of six covered isolettes. She turns with a warm smile when you grab one of the disposable nipples from the counter.

“Hey momma, he just woke up. I already got his temp and diaper for ya.”

You nod numbly, “Thank you.”

She’s probably used to that at this point: the distant stare in people’s eyes, desensitized from too many tears.

Securing it on top of the small container, you make your way to the middle isolette, with its blue bear quilt and little name card - written in swirly letters: Gabriel.

The quilt is already pulled up on the side. You shrug into the colorful star-patterned robe. Setting the milk down on the table next to the recliner, you open the latched door. The temperature is warm inside as you reach out a finger to lightly touch his cheek.

“Hey, little man.”

His face is scrunched, nasal cannulas held in place by two round patches of clear tape on his cheeks. Monitor wires poke out from the bottom of his swaddle. Moving them off the hook by the isolette door, they drop to the floor. Awkwardly reaching in to lift him out through the small opening, keeping him steady as you settle into the chair, sweeping the wires to the side by your feet.

“Nice and easy, mister.” Angling his head up to take the bottle, moving the position when he brushes against the oxygen feed. It takes a moment before he’s truly latched and eating.

His heart rate beeps on the monitor above you, jumping high before slowly evening out to an easy 110. He’s doing better, taking in 2mL this time and keeping most of it down after burping. You hold him close on your shoulder, rocking gently in the recliner. Readjusting the little knit cap covering his small head.

You watch the sunrise beyond the white mesh curtains covering the windows. Alex, the morning shift nurse, takes over for the room. Carefully checking the monitors of the twins, the little girl in the corner, the two on either side of you.

“How’d he do?” He asks softly.

You gesture with your head towards the bottle, “2mL this time.”

He nods, writing it down before moving to sit at the computer.

No one ever gives you a time limit, tells you to leave and go back to your room. But you feel like you are expected to. Take his temp, change the diaper, feed, burp, then leave. How can you though? So tiny and alone in this room. He needs you. Needs to feel your touch, your voice, your heart.

This wasn’t how it was supposed to be. Six or seven more weeks and you were going to be ready. The bassinet was still in the box in the spare room. Clothes, that were now too big anyway, were unwashed. This wasn’t the plan. You weren’t prepared for this, even though you were helplessly thrown into it. Things like this were caught early, people were able to expect the situation and mentally prepare for it. It just happened so fast.

You readjust your hold, carefully moving him higher on your shoulder as the oxygen read starts dropping.

It was Braxton Hicks, it had to be. You remembered them from Rebecca. Taking a bath, while Bucky put her down to sleep, to soothe the tight pain in your stomach. But when you were drying off, you saw the little drops of blood running down your leg. It wasn’t spotting. It was blood. You had steeled yourself as your heart began to race, carefully cleaning yourself up before opening the door to call for Bucky.

The panic in your voice must have been obvious as he came running up the stairs with wild eyes, hands reaching for you as you dropped your head.

“We need to go to the hospital.”

There was no stopping it, no delaying it. He came. And he came way too fucking early. Bucky was nothing short of terrified, panic rising in his throat as you cried and pushed and screamed. He was whisked off to a group of specialists almost immediately. You watched helplessly as they flitted around with masks and towels as your baby wailed. You delivered the afterbirth and were cleaned up and you watched them placing a mask over his face. Bucky’s arm creaked on the bed rail as he squeezed down. He was taken from the room. You never got to hold him.

The attending pediatrician came in and explained the situation. They didn’t have the proper equipment, he needed to be in a NICU. You had both nodded numbly, emotionally spent. The obstetrician told you that sometimes these things just happen and there’s no warning signs. But he was going to be just fine, he was strong. He was transferred onto a gurney. Strapped in with bright yellow-green harnesses over a portable incubator. And you never got to hold him.

You discharged yourself early the next day, driving an hour away to the larger hospital with a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

You weren’t letting him go now, now that he was safe in your arms. Fingers rubbing little circles along his back as he sleeps.

They never outwardly said for you to leave, but they would gently hint and push. Alex does another set of rounds, stopping in front of the chair once more.

“The cafeteria just started serving breakfast for the day, Mrs. Barnes. Need to keep your intake up for this little guy.”

You hum in reply, savoring one minute more, before slowly standing and moving him back into the protective isolette. Pressing a kiss to your fingers and placing it on his temple.

“I’ll be back soon, baby boy.”

Closing the door and draping the quilt back over him. Shrugging out of the gown to put in the linen container, throwing away the mask.

He’s waiting for you outside the ward’s doors. The dark rings under his eyes do nothing to sway you as you brush past him.

A new agent is wiping down the glass case by the elevator now. You don’t like the look in her eyes, that sorrowful smile. Bucky follows you, walking just far enough behind. You take the elevator down to the ground floor. His eyes are burning a hole into your arm, but you refuse to look.

Exiting the elevator onto the busy floor, you make down a hallway away from the visitors and staff, he follows. Turning down a side hall, quiet and undisturbed. Leaning against the cold wall next to a rolling maintenance cart. He leans against the opposite wall, waiting.

“I can be strong here. I can do the feeds and walk down there every three hours. But I can’t keep doing this on my own,” you bite. Red-rimmed eyes boldly staring up at him.

He collapses, eyes closed as he breathes out, “I’m sorry, I just - I can’t - ”

“Can’t what? Be there for our son?” He flinches. “Get over yourself and fucking help me, Bucky.”

He stares, mouth gaping slightly. And then he’s pushing off the wall, wrapping you into a tight embrace as you break down. Every moment of the past six days rushing through your mind, tears you didn’t know you could still shed come cascading out with heaving sobs. He lets you slobber and snot on his shirt. Wipes the last of the tears from your face with his sleeve. Pressing a kiss to the top of your head, holding back his own emotions for your sake.

You return to the room you had been given. Assuming that Bucky had managed to pull some strings to get you a stay-over room for parents that didn’t live in the city. Convincing you to sleep, just for a little bit, baby. You’re still recovering, get it while you can.

He didn’t go down, the entire stay he remained outside the ward. They told him his arm was too much of a hazard, it couldn’t be properly disinfected. But you knew it wasn’t just that. He was scared. It had taken a massive amount of effort to have him hold Rebecca when she was born. And she was a healthy full-term baby. Gabe, he was too small; too fragile.

You felt guilty for so many things - you knew, logically, it wasn’t your fault, but something in your head kept saying you did this to your son. Bucky, God only knows what was going on in his head, because he wouldn’t talk about it. He was holding back from you, keeping his worries to himself. It was torture on top of the massacre you were experiencing.

The alarm doesn’t go off. You wake up naturally in the small twin-sized bed. Mouth dry with sleep, head foggy from actual sleep. But you stare at the clock and just about cry. The alarm wasn’t there. And Bucky wasn’t anywhere in sight.

You tried to pump as much as you could, just over 4mL this time. Hurrying down the hallway to the elevator, cursing the clock and your husband all the way. Of course, he wasn’t there - he hadn’t been for almost a week. Desperately grabbing the phone to the ward, you give the repeated phrase - not even needing to look at the hospital band for your number now.

“Barnes. Mother. 1972381.”

“Yup, just one second.”

You hate the washing station with every fiber of your existence. It takes too long and it’s keeping you from your son. Your son who needs you and is probably hungry and they should have called you, they should have called you down when you didn’t show.

Ripping off the towels to furiously dry your hands, you walk with a quickened pace to room five. Mask on, opening the door, and your heart stops.

Bucky glances over the brim of the face mask. Your hands drop as you slowly approach the recliner. Gabriel is curled up against his chest, face to the side, chest rising slowly. Tears well up as you kneel down next to the armrest.

“Hey.”

“Hey,” you exhale with a broken cry.

He shifts in the chair, carefully cradling Gabe with his right arm. You numbly realize he’s doing it one-handed, the vibranium arm is gone.

“I’m sorry - ” he starts, eyes clouded.

“Don’t, just don’t.”

He gives a little nod. Alex pulls up a spare chair for you to sit in and takes the milk from you to put in the mini fridge.

This wasn’t how it was supposed to be. But like everything life threw your way, you were going to do it together. You sit next to Bucky, leaning your head against his covered shoulder, staring down at the tiny babe in his arms. The soft beeps and hums of the monitor the only sound.

Precious || Zhu Xingjie

imagine this gif as the way xingjie looks at you sksksk my heart

Title: Precious

Pairing: Female!Reader x Xingjie

Genre: Fluff

Word Count: 1275 words

Summary: There are two things that Xingjie loves the most in the world: music and you.

A/N: I’m still pretty rusty at writing considering it’s been a while, so I hope this turns out the way I want it to. This is a long overdue gift to the lovely Meg aka @yanjuniverse who I miss and adore so much. She loves Xingjie to death, so this one is for you, love!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With a low drawn out yawn, you kept your eyes closed, not yet ready to leave your bed. Blindly, you reached beside you and tried to feel for your lover. To your disappointment, your hand only met with the feel of soft linen beneath your palm. With a pout, you opened your eyes and were greeted with empty space. Resting on top of the pillow beside you was a little note with what you recognized was his neat handwriting.

Got called in last minute to the studio this morning. I’ll be back ASAP x

You smiled at the little ‘x’. How cute. It was the little things that Xingjie did that never failed to make your heart melt. Although you were hoping to see his gorgeous face first thing in the morning, years of being together taught you that when duty calls, some things can’t be helped... just like your bladder right now. 9 am sharp.

“Every day without fail,” you sighed.

Now for the dreaded part: getting out of bed. Usually Xingjie would be the one to help get you up, but you were on your own this time. Maneuvering your legs over the side of the bed, you took a deep breath and heaved yourself up into a sitting position. A deep groan left your lips as you felt an ache in your lower back. Despite the gazillion pillows scattered around you on the bed, you often had difficulty getting into a comfortable position, much less get a proper consecutive eight hours of sleep.

Slipping your feet into your fuzzy pair of slippers, you sped walk as fast as you could to the bathroom. After relieving yourself, you headed out your shared bedroom and into the hallway. As you made your way down the hall of your home, you took your time to admire the decor.

The walls were adorned with photos both recent and old, creating a gallery of the timeline of Xingjie’s and your life. There were photos of Xingjie with the rest of the gramerie crew, the same wild boys that remain his best friends to this very day. Not too far away were photos of him as a trainee during Idol Producer, some being solo photos from his stages, and others being photos with other trainees he had befriended on the show. You smiled proudly at the more recent photos that showcased him at his own concerts, including his solo ones, with the arenas filled with thousands of screaming fans.

Of course, you had your share of photos as well. Most of them consisted of you with your family from back home. Smiling faces gleamed at you, belonging to your loved ones and friends you held dear to your heart. Scattered here and there were images of you and Xingjie from a few of your many dates and cherished times together. You laughed lightly at an old image of a deadpanned Xingjie dressed in a Huba costume after losing a bet with you.

The wall on the other side of the hallway was completely devoid of any photos. Instead, empty wooden frames hung lonesomely in front of you. Despite the vacancy of it all, you felt your heart flutter at the thought of finally being able to fill these frames soon.

Focusing back to your mini journey, you made your way to a creme painted door a few doors down from your own. Turning the oak wooden handle, you walked into the dainty room. You stepped foot on the large, plush light grey rug in the shape of an elephant. In the corner of the room, a four foot tall giraffe stood proudly. The walls were painted a cute pastel yellow. Adorable cartoon animals were drawn to match the safari theme of the room, such as lions, a cheetah, rhinos, flamingos, and hippos.

On the widest wall of the room was a giant baobab tree, its leaves a vibrant green and a rainbow of exotic birds perched upon its branches. Under the tree stood a mahogany bed frame complete with an earthy toned comforter set and a matching stitched quilt of various animal print patterns draped over the ledge.

Approaching the mahogany dresser, a single picture frame sat upon it. Picking the frame up, you fingers gently traced the white outlines of the monochrome photo. Despite the smile that appeared on your face, you felt tears pool your vision. You heard the front door open and footsteps walking in your direction, hearing your lover call for your name.

You felt a presence behind you and then felt a pair of arms carefully snake their way around your waist.

“Crying again?” Xingjie chuckled, his chest reverberating against your back.

Sniffling, you lightly smacked one of his hands with a pout. He only chuckled more, raising his other hand to wipe away a stray tear from your cheek with his thumb before resting on your waist again.

“These are happy tears. I’m just emotional. You know I can’t help it.”

“I know, I know. I’m only teasing.”

Leaning against his chest, the two of you fell into a comfortable silence as you held the picture frame between both your hands, the two of you gazing at it fondly. You didn’t know what Xingjie was thinking, but you figured it couldn’t be too far off from your thoughts.

“I can’t believe it’s almost time,” Xingjie mused. “It seems like only yesterday when it all began.”

You hummed in agreement, placing the frame back on the dresser. “To this day, my mind still can’t process the fact that this is really happening. I feel like it’s all a dream.”

“Luckily for you, it isn’t a dream. It’s all real.”

“Lucky me indeed,” you grinned at him.

Xingjie returned your smile, kissing your forehead lovingly. Focusing his gaze back to the black and white photo, he breathed in deeply before slowly exhaling. Although he looked calm on the outside, you knew he was just as nervous as you are.

“What’s on your mind, love?” you asked, tilting your head to lightly press a kiss to his jawline.

Xingjie didn’t reply, so you patiently waited until he was ready to speak his thoughts. After a momentary silence, he replied, “Do you think I’ll do a good job?”

“Do you want the truth?”

He looked at you questioningly as if it were obvious, but nodded anyway. Turning around in his arms, albeit a bit awkwardly, you caressed both sides of his face affectionately between your hands so that you two were making eye contact.

“I think you’ll do more than good. You’re going to be an amazing daddy.”

Taking his hands, you placed them onto the swell of your belly. As if agreeing with your statement, you felt the little being inside of you kick against his palms. You swear you’ve never seen anything more beautiful than the smile that immediately broke onto Xingjie’s face when it came to your soon-to-be child. He knelt down on one knee so that he was face to face with your belly.

“Hey princess, I know you’re excited to come out of there, but try and take it easy on your mother, ok?” he sweetly requested.

He placed a chaste kiss on your tummy for your little girl. You had to fight back a new wave of tears from the heartwarming scene. You loved your growing family so much. You felt extremely blessed that this was your life. Xingjie looked up at you in adoration, intertwining his hand with yours. You admired the way your wedding rings glittered against your fingers.

“Mommy and daddy can’t wait to finally meet you.”

Fall Classes @ MAAG! Treat Yourself!

New York Beauty Quilt Technique Class | Sarah Bond

2 Sessions — Saturdays, October 25 & November 22, 2014

2 pm — 6 pm

Class fee $65

This is a workshop style class designed for advanced beginners and beyond. This is a great technique for creating those perfect points every time. We’ll start the class with a basic, simple New York Beauty block and we’ll walk you through the basics of paper piecing. We’ll continue on to variations including flying geese, multiple sets of points and triangles, and long points with narrow outlines. You can try all the variations or just stick with the ones you like. We’ll provide new pattern sets at each class. During the last class, we’ll experiment with placement of the blocks so you can see how the different sets and arrangements of the blocks can create the contemporary or traditional quilt that is perfect for you.

It is not necessary to have all your fabric for the first class. You can add in fabrics as you go as the colors and textures start to develop together in your quilt.

We believe that anyone can draw, with one major proviso— you have to really want to. You can learn when you let go of your inhibitions. There is no end to the possibilities. This workshop will consist of both still life setups and posing the human figure. The medium is open, however, we believe the student should choose one that they are most comfortable with. Students 16 and older are welcome. Open to all levels.

Robert Finch, a modern day master of the art of drawing, will act as the catalyst in your personal journey of discovery.

Stim Toy Storage - At Home Stim Kits

Something I don’t see discussed too often is storage of stim toys, so I’m going to talk about some photos of the ways I’m storing my collection, now that I have a fairly large collection of toys. How often I use an item and how reachable I need it to be impacts a lot on how I store it and where.

Some degree of organisation can help with acceptance, I’ve found, as there’s less feeling of “things everywhere” and “toys for kids” and a little more sense of purpose or focus.

This is my “left over” or “spare” kit - comprised of items that are extras, usually from buying multiple items in a pack because I can’t find them for individual purchase, making too many of a handmade item (I tend to “samemake” in the way I samefood, once I find a pattern or design that works), gifts, or items I reviewed that I just didn’t click with. I like having an extra kit because I dislike other people touching my toys, so having toys meant for handling by others is great for sharing if I’m stimming in front of guests. It’s easy to put a box like this on a table, too, or bring to a community gathering. It’s also something I can show other people, with everything neatly laid out, and a full kit like this is great for introducing people to the idea that stim toys exist.

(I struggle to communicate stimming in the abstract, but putting someone’s hands in a box of toys and letting them explore while I talk is so much easier. I’ve found that NT folks new to stimming don’t necessarily click with any one or two toys I’ve showed them, but having lots of options means at least one “gateway” toy, and once they’ve happened across something that provides a positive/pleasing/relaxing sensation for them, they’re more open to other toys. It happened this way with Mum: she wouldn’t touch anything until I made my marble mazes, but she’s now got her own spinner, massage balls and hedge balls...)

This kit is housed in a cardboard box and two plastic trays which fit inside it. The smaller, more tangly and rattly items (like bead fidgets, marble loops, Tangles, spinners, hedge balls, telephone cord bracelets) are housed in the trays, as I can stack one tray on top of the other and simply lift the top tray out of the box, meaning I don’t have to burrow through as many little items to find things. Some things will still take some burrowing (there’s a marble maze in the top basket, hidden by everything on top of it) but it’s a lot easier to use, and less overwhelming, than my previous method of stowing everything loose in a box.

The larger items like Play-Doh tubs, stress balls and plush are stacked in the other half of the box, with large pieces like plush keyrings and bean bags sitting loosely on top, so I don’t have to move too many things to reach the tubs underneath.

Slinkies are great for neatly containing smaller items, just like a pen caddy or cup: the one in this box holds a stress ball and two makeup blending sponges. I’ve got one on my desk holding several Tangles, a sponge and a few Hama bead loops!

My cardboard box is 31 cm long, 24 cm wide and 11.5 cm deep. It’s deep enough to hold a full-size plastic Slinky and a full-size snake puzzle standing on its shorter end. I paid $2.50 AUD for this from Fantastic Variety, a local dollar shop, but I more often see boxes of this size between $3-5 AUD. The plastic trays I bought from the same store in a 3 pack for $2 AUD, and they’re 23.2 cm long, 15.5 cm wide and 6 cm deep. With all the toys in it, the box is quite heavy.

For this sort of thing, it’s often better purchasing in person (if possible) as you can check that any inner trays fit inside your intended box. For this kind of storage, with a variety of toys of many different shapes, you ideally want a box deep enough to fit two trays on top of each other, leaving the rest of the box for taller items.

There are sewing and gear boxes designed to take larger items, many with compartments and removable trays, but most of these are very expensive. This set up cost me less than $5 AUD and is easy to use.

Image description under read more cut:

[image description: two photos, taken on a blue, white and black night sky silhouette quilt cover, of a light brown cardboard box with a blue triangle pattern on the sides. The lid, face up, sits beside the box and hand-drawn text in blue Sharpie reads “fidget kit” followed by a curlicue. Two white baskets, sitting on top of each other, occupy the top half of the box.

The top basket contains various toys: jointed snakes, spinners, Tangles, hedge balls, a prickle ball, a bun squishy, a mini snake puzzle, telephone cord bracelets, a small penguin plush, Hama bead loops, a marble loop.

The bottom basket also contains various toys: roller bead lanyards, bead rings, balloon stress balls, telephone cord hair ties, bouncy balls, a makeup brush.

The bottom half of the box contains tubs of Play-Doh, tubs of kinetic sand, a long and green jointed snake, an elephant handheld chewable/teether, a black silicone bangle, a purple drawstring bag, a large snake puzzle, a mini Tsum Tsum-style caterpillar plush, a Bambi Disney Tsum Tsum mini plush, a coloured mesh stress ball, a pink minky fleece bean bag, a seafoam heart-shaped plush keychain, two bath toys, a pink/yellow/green glittery plastic slinky and a pink and red makeup blending sponge.

First photo shows the lid sitting beside the box.

Artists or art that turns me on and feeds my soul. This piece is called Girl With Pigtails by Sir Samuel Henry William Llewellyn, who was an English painter of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries

YOKE DU YOUR

Two elephants walk in the wilderness and spot a guy peeing at the bushes. One elephant nudges the other, “Man, I wonder how he ever manages to eat anything with that thing!”

WORDS TO LIVE BY

IDEA I LOVE, CROCHETspiration

Grab your crochet hook and a pair of rubber flip-flops and, oh baby, you will have boots to die for. Make them even better by weaving ribbons into your crochet, embellish, hand-dye, etc. If you have strong arches, these could be quite comfortable. If you have feet as flat as Donald Duck, well, you’re screwed. Here’s the tutorial on how to make a pair of your own boots: http://makeanddocrew.com/crochet-boots-flip-flops-pattern-video/

JUST BECAUSE I SWOON

Documented 1971 Valentino Couture Italian Vogue Audrey Hepburn Gown Dress

DESIGNER: Valentino Couture, published in the 1971 Italian Vogue, in a different print, on model Isa Stoppi. The same blue version of this dress was worn by Audrey Hepburn in Italian Vogue 1971. The white long sleeve version of this dress, also seen in the photo with Isa Stoppi, was shown in the exhibit Valentino Retrospective. $42,999

You might disagree, but although this dress costs a mint, it reminds me of something that Eunice might wear.

IDEA I LOVE!

I think painting on fabric is an amazing talent. It’s an amazing way to create your own fabric. Can’t draw? So what? There are so many cheating tools you can use – lightboxes, computer printouts, embroidery transfer papers… Why not try it. It won’t break the bank, and you might just learn to love it. Click on the link for more information on how to rock your fabric: http://uniqart.blogspot.com/2015/02/tutorial-painting-on-fabric-with.html

BE DAZZLED!

This is a vintage piece of costume jewelry from 1948. It is marked, Coro with Pegasus and designed by Adolph Katz. It is in excellent condition. $475 ‘

Here’s how you can own this piece: http://www.trifari.com/pages/cor1377.html

PATCHWORK, BABY! QUILTspiration!

Call me sentimental, but I love cheddar in a quilt. Make this easy traditional Album Patch quilt from McCall’s Quilting. Now, cupcakes, think out of the box.

IDEA I LOVE! KNITspiration!

These are the absolute cutest knitted pigs I’ve ever seen. I wish I could knit better; I’d try to tackle this. Instead, I’m going to have to sell my soul for one. Not only that, I’m guessing the knitting shops still don’t have pink yarn in stock after the run for the Women’s March hats (well, unless you’re in Franklin, Tennessee http://huff.to/2jzY8fT).

Here’s the pattern: http://blueskyfibers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Oink1.pdf

GARDENspiration

Yummy! Make a freshwater terrarium. It can’t be any easier. Here’s how to put one together for your home or office. Look, if this works out, say goodbye to the bathtub.

Here’s the tutorial: http://artseachic.blogspot.com/2013/07/diy-freshwater-terrarium.html

MUST HAVE

They say (whomeverthehelltheyare) that our phones are the filthiest and grimiest possessions we possess. No more, babycakes. I want to zap my smartphone with this sanitizer. Get one for you:

IDEA I LOVE!

A simple embroidery stitch can help you create the dopest border on napkins, collars, and almost anything (why not stitch on paper for homemade Valentine’s Day cards?). To learn the technique, click on the link:

TIP I LOVE

Isn’t this a great tip? Organize your seam ripper, marking pencils, and snips by using a suction cup soap holder! Take a look:

IDEA I LOVE

Dollar Store here I come. Grab several colorful bags of garden glass and glue them to a window. Glorious. It’s so darn simple, but if I were you, I would campaign for the death penalty for anyone breaking a stained glass window before you make yours. Start here:

http://www.hometalk.com/26593919/easy-stained-glass-window

… and VALENTINEpiration IS HERE

These are designed to be fabric heart coasters. I love them but I’d be afraid that the seams might tip my full glass of Old Turkey onto my rug, leaving me no option than to suck the juice from the carpet (like it hasn’t been done before). You could add a little ribbon to the top so they can be used as doorknob decor. I’d also love to see some embroidery accenting the fabric used for the hearts. Here’s how you make these pretty Valentine coasters: http://www.thirtyhandmadedays.com/fabric-heart-coasters/
