❤️‍🔥 Our coven mate ❤️‍🔥

Pairing: Cullens x Black!Reader

Summary The Cullens move to Pennsylvania, and find out they have another addition to their family, but they’re not sure how she’ll take it

After a while of Renesmee, learning that Pennsylvania is “where vampires originated”she’s been begging for them all to move there of course with a furry, companion.after a month or so of considering, complaining and convincing, in the end they given in and moved to Pennsylvania jake wasn’t all too Happy about the move, but went along with it for Renesmee.

The Cullens one for another glass house look sense Esme loved the look so much one of the reasons they were unsure if they wanted to move to Pennsylvania all the couples having their own respective cabins and staying in the woods, it wasn’t that different from Forks just didn’t feel as homey

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

You kissed your little sisters and little brother goodbye before heading off to work with your twin brother

“yo sis did you hear, seems we have a few new transfer students? I think Cullens is their last name apparently it’s a couple that adopted a bunch of foster kids seems pretty sick of you ask me.” your brother started some playful banter on the way to the restaurant you work at

“Well, that’s really nice of them.” You mumble turning down the music a bit “so how many of them are there? Are they all related?” You lean back in your chair more, trying to relax before your long shift starts

“no they’re not all related two of them are twins like us I think their last name is hale ones is Swan and the rest of them are Collins oh, and they’re all in relationships, which is kind of weird if you didn’t know that they don’t have the same last name” he leaned back a bit in his chair, slowing down a bit so you don’t make it to the restaurant too fast not ready to clock in yet

“and tell me dear Brother how do you know so much about them if they haven’t even been in town for a week” you were starting to grow a bit suspicious of your brothers behavior, and how much he knew about them. Sure it was abnormal for new people to come in town, but they had just been there for a week no way to know that much. right?

“Well, their adopted father is a doctor and he works at the hospital. I went in the other day for Sarah and Melanies, cancer treatment? Yeah, he’s really nice gave us the whole rundown …..because I was interrogating him.”you turned him, giving him a bewildered luck “no you didn’t. He’s new in town! now he thinks we’re weirdos, God I have to go in there tomorrow with Sarah and Melanie ,why did you do that?!”

“oh well, no time to fret we’re here.”your brother chirped out fast, pulling into the back parking lot mostly used for employees

“Just because we’re clocking into work, doesn’t mean we can’t talk about this.”You give your brother a wary look as you step out of the car. Your brother doing the same, locking the doors behind him.

the minute, the both of you step in to work one of your coworkers come up to you “OK y/n clock in and then you have a table they’re new in town so be extra nice you know the drill, and scar then you’re cooking tonight make sure to make everything as best you can”you both look at each other, knowing today was going to be much longer than expected “i’m right on it” your brother mumbles, pulling up his hair and putting on an apron, you in clock for both of you, and put on your own apron, tie your hair into a loose ponytail and step outside to serve your first table

You walk out and immediately notice which table is yours it’s a couple in all black the wife is wearing a beautiful black dress with a slit up the side and a low v line with 4 inch heels on. her elbows are on the table her fingers interlocked with her husband’s considering the rings, both of their hands are interlocked he’s wearing all black just like his wife clearly an expensive dress shirt, shoes, belt, and pants, all clearly expensive the blonde hairand pale white skin, just like his wife’s slightly contrasting with their all black outfits. They look like if they had to pull their eyes away from each other, it would cause physical pain. deep in conversation by the look of it,it hurts looking at them. They look like the perfect parents some thing you never got to have and you know you never would you take a deep breath pushing all the thoughts to the back of your mind and just remind yourself this is a 12 hour shift there first table by the end of this you’re gonna want to claw everyone’s eyes out.you walk to the table, put on your normal fake smile and going with normal routine

“my name is y/n and I will be your waitress for the night. i’m so sorry for the wait were short staffed.” Oh great now it looks like they’re eyes couldn’t be pulled off your form, even if they were tortured to. you could tell they were eyeing you up and down since they weren’t being very subtle about it.the wife is the first to snap out of it

“Oh, that’s no problem, dear we understand”she glanced at her husband and gave his hand a small squeeze, just so he’d pull his eyes away From you. Clearly seeing that you were slightly distressed by the unblinking stare,

“well, what can I get you for drinks tonight?” “Umm I’ll have a water and a bloody Mary. dear” “and you, sir?” “a water please love” for some reason you could feel your cheeks starting to burn a little many of your customers called you dear and love and other such nicknames but for some reason it felt different when they said it, although you didn’t even know them “i’ll go get those and give you some time with the menus” they both nod and give you a small hmh, giving you the go ahead to get their drinks

You walked back into the kitchen conversation with your brother about how in love they are, and their strange behaviors as you make their drinks.

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

Esme’s Body Tencent immediately wanting to follow you, unhappy you were so far away from her.

“Carlisle?…”

his eyes were still staring at the door to the kitchen “Esme do you think?…” “I’ll have to ask Alice when we get home for now. Will try our best to control ourselves. All right, baby?”

Esme and Carlisle ended up talking in a foreign language simply throwing back-and-forth thoughts of places they could bring you and languages. You could learn how fast do learn them. would you help Esme cook? Did you have any other family besides your brother in the kitchen with you? Would you enjoy her cooking? would your family enjoy her cooking? would you try to help her teacher Renesme? Would you treat Renesmee as if she was one of your little siblings?

would you help Carlisle unwind after work? Would you be a worried overprotective sister like your brother? Would you comfort your siblings if they had any fears with the treatments? Would they only want you to comfort them?did you go out of your way to help your family? Would you go out of your way to help them? What if the tasks were Some thing that could be dangerous for you, would you help even with small tasks? One thing they knew for sure though was whatever you would do and how ever you would behave. It would be absolutely perfect

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

When Carlisle and Esme come home Emmett was the first to greet them, sitting at the dining table legs kicked up onto the table reading a magazine Well Alice did Rosa‘s hair next to him. “so how was your anniversary dinner?” Alice chirped up

“good, do you think you could look in the future for a girl name y/n” alice gave her adopted parents a weird look before her eyes went unfocused.

“so who is this y/n?” Rose was clearly unhappy about they’re request to Alice

“she was our waitress”Carlisle said for his wife

“And?” Emmett had a feeling to what they were suggesting

“Carlisle what if everyone felt like they were mate it to one person? what would that make that person?” Alice blurted it out rather fast clearly nerved up by her vision

Jasper walked down from upstairs pulling alice close to him Clearly interested in, what Carlisle answer would be “a coven mate Alice” “don’t tell me your waitress is our coven mate” Rosalie glared at Carlisle and esme “she is”

The tension in the room could be cut with a knife. Carlisle and Esme left their room, Alice finished Rosalie’s hair Emmett and Rosalie went to their cabin Jasper and Alice doing the same

Truthfully, Jasper and Alice were excited to have a coven mate, maybe not about the sharing part but just from Alice’s vision, she could tell that you were amazing, and you’re going to be a perfect mate. Jasper was going to love you she just knew it,

Jasper was a bit nervous, especially if you were mate it to him, his need to have your blood would absolutely double, and he almost killed Bella because of a paper cut. this is going to be hard he wouldn’t be able to breathe around you.

Which meant he couldn’t talk around you, you might not like him,or think he’s creepy if he doesn’t talk, or what if you just didn’t like him altogether

“Jasper don’t worry she’s gonna love you”Alice could tell that Jasper was nervous

“what can you tell me about her is there anything about me that she’ll just like or I should do more around her?”

Alice’s eyes go unfocused for a few minutes before focusing again “well she likes your hair, your accent, hell that’s something we share.” Linking their arms together “she likes my bubbly, personality, my sense of style clearly, has good taste .oh, she likes when you turn your chair around and sit in it. You have history class with her. She tends to fall asleep then, so take notes for her.” “Why does she fall asleep which period is that?” Jasper was clearly worried. are you not taking care of yourself?

“it’s first period she usually works long night shifts with her brother, so that’s why she’s so tired she has two little sisters, Sarah and Melanie, and a little brother named Carter and a twin Devine but he usually just goes by scar y/n is the only one that calls him Devine and she pronounces the same way French would say guess it” Alice, giddily informed Jasper of your family

“close?” “mhmmm sadly, Sarah has a very weak immune system, and Melanie has cancer they go to the hospital together every Wednesday and Thursday just to check up on the health of them oh and their Carlisle’s patients now” Jasper stops, giving alice a serious look very different from his usually overly, and loved one. Jasper shuts the door behind him, finally in their cabin ”what is it?”

“How….. how does she feel about? everyone,not just us? And her family…”

“well first,” Alice’s eyes go unfocused once, and then twice she looks positively annoyed and frustrated “what darling?” jasper mumbles, holding Alice by the waist head in the crook of her neck

“I can’t see anything?!….” She tries one more time nothing she can’t see her little mate’s future, her can’t even see she little mate at work…. It takes everything in her not to immediately go to your restaurant

It’s fine tomorrow she’ll make sure she can see you in person and that you’re perfectly fine. Not a Scratch on your body and if there is well, there’s always time to get rid whom ever hurt you whoever hurt there a little mate

should I do part 2?

Shelby Clan (Platonic)- Secrets Pt 2

After arriving into the room and Grace shuts the door I start to get nervous as I sit down

"Ok YN I need you to be honest here. Is James hurting you?" Grace asks hands on hips, I feel as though I'm being scolded

"What? no" I shake my head but Grace raises a brow

"Show me your wrist"

"Seriously Grace nothings going on"

"YN I saw a bruise on there the first day I met you"

"You did?" Esme asks worriedly "YN if he is hurting you we can help, he can't go into business with the Shelby's, if they found out what he had done and you hadn't said anything then..."

"They would cut me? yeah hence why I can't say anything"

"So he is hurting you?" Grace now crosses her arms

"No you just... ughh"

"I heard from Lizzie that victims of abuse won't say anything in fear that they will get it worse"

"Abuse? no, he's just... passionate"

"Look Tommy and the others won't hurt you, they will protect you. I know it's hard to imagine, Birmingham's feared Peaky Blinders hate woman beaters, but it's true" Polly now speaks. There's no point in arguing with these woman, they're all stubborn and I know they know. Being a stupid weak person I break down into tears

"Oh YN" Esme puts an arm around me

"How long has it been going on for?" Grace asks sitting next to me

"Things were fine when we first starting to see each other, then after about a year it started as little things like telling me I looked weird in a dress or it was to short. It got physical after we got engaged" I look down at the ring

"Poll tell them not to sign any deals" Grace looks up at Polly

"No don't! he will kill me if I mess this up for him" Polly ignores me and opens up the door "Polly stop please" I get up and run out after her then stop realising everyone is now looking at my tear stained face

"Tommy don't you dare go into business with this man. He's been abusing his poor fiancé since they've been together" Tommy looks a mixture of shocked and angry

"John, Arthur deal with him"

"You can't be serious? she's bloody lying for fucks sake"

"Do bruises lie?" Polly crosses her arms

"Shes done them to herself"

"Arthur John"

"Oh come on. Your going to believe the whore?" John and Arthur drag him out of the pub with him yelling

"Room now" anger still laced into Tommy's voice. Defeated I turn around and walk back into the room.

When the door closes I expect it to be just Tommy and I and that I was gonna get a beating, but to my surprise Polly, Grace, Esme and Pollys son Michael are all in the room. It was Michael to make the first move towards me, making me flinch as he goes to take my wrist

"Hey it's ok. I just want to look" he gently says. I look at Grace who nods her head. I let Michael take my wrist in his hands. He pulls my sleeve up to see the fading bruise "this one should be gone in a day or 2. Which is the most recent?" Michael looks at me with soft eyes

"M-my cheek"

"Ok let's take that makeup off and take a look eh?" Tommy says and I nod my head. Polly goes to get a wet rag. When she returns I gently take off the makeup covering the bruise

"Bloody hell" Esme gasps "no wonder you had bright red cheeks today. What the fuck has he been doing to you?"

"This one will take some time. A couple of week potentially" Micheal holds my face in his hands as gently as he can. The door opens making me jump

"Fucking hell" Arthur yells looking at my face. Tears begin to fall down my face

"Right, YN your staying with Polly and Michael tonight. Tomorrow we will figure something out, but your not going back to him"

"Not that she can" John mutters

"No one has to know what he was doing if you don't want them. This can stay in here, he's gone now, for good"

"Why did you do this for me? why are all of you being so nice to me? I've been here a week that's all"

"Time doesn't matter. All that matters is that your now safe love" Polly puts an arm around my shoulder smiling at me.

Months have gone by and the Shelby's have basically adopted me as one of them. I now help out with paperwork at the betting shop, the brothers insisting though I only deal with legal stuff, but that's fine. They have quickly all become my closest friends.

Shadow of you [J.B]

Jacob Black x Fem! Vampire! reader!

Summary: Jacob is a shapeshifter now. Imprinting is something that will happen eventually. The reader is a vampire. She rather die before getting a mate. Suddenly Jacob imprints in her and the reader find her mate in him. Life and death. Hot and cold. The reader has some decisions to make

Warnings: none

Word count: idk lol

A/N: Ok first of ALL i’m so SORRY for not posting anything in like... four months lol. I know that i have to update part 3 of time with Jacob but inspiration has left me so i haven’t finished it yet. I’m halfway there and i hope i can update it as soon as posible. pls don’t kill me lol

Same note as ever, english not my mother language so yeah, excuse any mistakes. Enjoy!

"So, how long will you stay this time?"

"Long enough for me to get bored" you replied. Edward looked at you with a raised eyebrow "I may leave tomorrow or in a week, who knows?"

"I don't like what you do"

"You should be happy to see me" you said climbing on his back in one nimble move. Edward didn't flinch, instead he clutched his hands in your legs.

"I am, but I would be even more so if you didn't disappear overnight"

"It's in my nature."

"That's not what I meant."

"I'll stay for a good while this time, I promise" Edward got you off his back and walked slowly around your room. You hadn't been there in several decades and some stuff were covered in dust. Edward offered to clean your room and did it in a couple of seconds with his superhuman speed. You followed him and joined your hand with his. Your hands together were as cold as ever "I heard you're getting married and I couldn't miss the wedding."

"How did you know?"

"Alice" you said and that was enough for him to understand "She looked for me for weeks and when she finally found me she didn't hesitate to give me the good news. She even offered me to be the maid of honor. Of course I declined the offer."

"Why?"

"Because it would be weird to witness the wedding of the guy who broke my heart in the front row."

Edward shook his head and smiled slowly. Edward was first turned by Carlisle and after he turned Esme he turned you when he saw you badly hurt after a terrible car accident. Carlisle intended to make you a couple and you tried so hard to make things right, however things didn't work out when Edward decided to end what you had when he couldn't see you as anything more than a sister. Neither of you were in love tho, but both of you clung to the idea that your existence after death was limited to spending the rest of your existence together and you wanted to drag it out as long as you could, even though your misgivings about losing your human essence disgusted you.

You didn’t have a good relationship with Carlisle. In fact, he was the main reason you decided to leave the Cullen household. He had the blame for your miserable existence and the last thing you wanted was to share the same roof for centuries. Rosalie understood your feelings and although she had a more cordial relationship with her adoptive father, she also held a grudge against him for turning her.

So your relationship with Edward was over and you felt nothing for him other than affection as a good friend. As soon as Alice told you about the wedding you were happy for Edward cause he could finally be happy the way he wanted to.

What you didn't expect was that Edward's future wife was still a human.

"Shut it."

"You know I'm joking. I'm over it and I'm glad I got away from you. You're so weird."

"Anyway I appreciate you coming" Edward said squeezing your hand. He smiled wide "It was very important to me that my whole family were here with me on such an special day."

"You'll do fine" you comforted him stroking his arm. You could feel his nervousness and the wedding fear on his shoulders "I bet you've rehearsed your words over and over"

"You know me well."

"Did you give her your mother's ring?" you asked. Edward nodded. Before, when you were a couple and you two tried to keep the relationship afloat Edward promised it would be yours, but now it was Bella's, his fiancée "It's okay, it doesn't bother me, it doesn't bother me!" you assured laughing. The truth was that you didn't mind too much. “Don’t be sorry. It's better this way, she deserves it."

Edward walked back across the room looking through the shelves for a small box that had been hidden for a long time, he picked it up and walked towards you, showing you a rose gold necklace. He put it on you and his cool fingers on your neck felt like porcelain.

"This one is still yours though."

"I thought you gave it to Bella too" you said smiling. Edward shook his head "You should have"

"This one holds a special affection, different from the one that binds me to Bella. It will always be for you"

"I hope your wife won't get jealous when she sees me wearing it at the wedding." Edward giggled.

"Bella knows that and she's fine with it."

"All right, then."

"Carlisle still doesn't know you're back. He's been taking double shifts at the hospital."

"Are you forgetting that you have a sister who can see the future? Alice may have told him by now"

"She didn't, Alice wanted it to be a surprise."

"I know what you're thinking and I refuse" you said. You didn't need to have Edward's special gifts to discover his intentions. He wanted you to go all the way to the hospital where Carlisle worked and surprise him with your arrival. That wasn't going to happen. You weren't even sure you would stay home until Esme made you promise to do so. Edward frowned "Please, you know how I feel about that."

"He loves you."

"I'm sorry it's not mutual"

"Deep down I know you're grateful to him."

Your eyelids narrowed and Edward noticed how your gift sparkled in your eyes. You possessed the power of hypnosis causing others to obey you in everything just by looking at you. Your eyes would turn purple and at worst, completely black. Edward cleared his throat. You were so angry

"Grateful? Grateful, you say, for turning me into a beast?"

"I mean, thanks to him you were able to get to this point, to meet us, to have a family."

"You call this a family? I thought you understood, Edward. We're nothing more than a group of strangers bereaved by an uncertain fate. We are tied to each other because we have no choice."

"Bella does and she has decided to be with me. To be part of our own."

"She's making a mistake" you replied squeezing your eyes shut. You didn't want to hurt Edward "Even though I feel happy for you cause you finally found your mate doesn't mean I didn’t think thousands of reasons why giving up his human life is wrong. You know that. You understand this shit better than anyone."

"I knew it from the beginning."

"But if it is her decision and she wish to spend the rest of her existence as one of us then I respect that. We all think differently but if i could trade her human life for my existence as a vampire I would with no doubts"

"I know you would."

Suddenly the atmosphere became tense. No one was surprised by how much you hated your condition as a vampire and the way you cursed it every day. Your human life wasn't good at all, but what if it wasn’t? Your family had problems and most of the time you had to take care of your younger siblings and their upbringing, yet existing as a being without a heartbeat was terrifying. You wished you could feel warmth again, that your lungs would fill with fresh air, your fingers would caress the flowers and your heart would thump against your chest. Warmth. You missed that of all things.

Carlisle should have let you die. That was better than living as an empty shell.

Edward rubbed your arms, but his touch didn't comfort you. Remember the past tormented you and rekindled your desire to disappear forever.

"You can always change your mind" Edward said "I understand that you can't come to like who you are, but at some point something may happen that makes you see things from a different perspective. Maybe... you know, you can find someone who..."

"And doomed him to live an eternity by my side? I'd rather turn into ashes" you replied. You had always been reluctant to bond with someone, more so if that someone was an ordinary person like Bella "I would never do something like that. To change a person into a vampire, taking away their essence. I'm not that kind of a beast."

Edward sighed. It was a hopeless case trying to convince you.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, okay? Why don't we just take a walk, huh? How long has it been since we've competed to hunt?"

"Hunting? Even Alice is better at it than you! We can look for something in the forest, but let's not talk about a competition because you will lose!"

"You seem pretty sure about that."

"Ed, it was Emmett who taught me how to hunt, do you really want to do this?"

Edward rolled his eyes. No, he didn't want to

"Whatever."

You left the house heading deeper into the woods where you could find a good prey in a matter of minutes. You were good at it and honestly doing it with Edward was a lot of fun. He never shut up and talked the entire hunt, which allowed you to concentrate better on his voice and relax.

When you were both satisfied you prowled through the woods. Edward told you about his school days and you told him some stories from the places you had visited. You even told him about the time you stayed with the Denalis and how his hatred for shape shifters had grown after his confrontation with Laurent. Edward listened intently, pursing his lips.

You liked the Denalis. Even if you didn't consider them family they were kind to you and respected your position towards vampirism. They never tried to change your mind and listened for hours to your every complaint. Anyways, they already had their coven formed and you couldn’t interfere in it cause, for them, you were already a Cullen, even if you hadn’t taken Carlisle’s surname . Although you did with Rosalie's.

The truth was that being like this with Edward was relaxing. The forest was quiet and the starry night drew silhouettes among the trees. You both went down a hill that flowed into a river. You were about to cross it when Edward stopped you.

"Hold on. We can't cross the line, it's their territory."

"Do you still keep that silly treaty?"

"As long as we are here we have to. We are forbidden to set a foot on their land."

"Please" you said, rolling your eyes "I think it's more than clear that we're not the type to hurt people. So..."

You ran to the other end and in the blink of an eye you were on the other side of the forest. Edward was slow and stood with his hand outstretched trying to slow you down. You turned to him asking him to follow you, but the impact of a huge mass against your body sent you straight into the water hitting your head on the rock.

Edward came down to help you even though you didn't need it. You got up soaking wet and gritting your teeth you faced the thing that had pushed you. It was a huge brown wolf escorted by the rest of his pack. You were so furious that your vision was blurred for a moment, making you use your power against them. Edward squeezed your arm asking you not to.

"We can't hurt them."

"You won't be able to, but I..."

"We'll leave" Edward told them. The wolves growled "My sister just arrived and she doesn't know about the treaty" he lied. "She follows our diet and won't be a problem to Forks, I promise."

You were upset. Edward had no need to explain himself to them or offering apologies of any kind. That treaty was meaningless and you were free to loiter wherever you wanted. You wanted to confront them, but Edward forbade it. The wolf that attacked you earlier growled angrily and walked forward.

Your violet eyes locked onto his trying to hypnotize him, but the hypnotic effect was different than you thought. You felt a spasm run down your back and the feeling of wanting to get closer to him flooded your mind. You didn't know what was happening until the wolf howled, lay down in the brush and shook his head vigorously. Then he got up, looked at you for a few seconds and ran off.

The rest of the pack stayed in place. The big black wolf in the background approached Edward and growled something in the wind

"I know, Sam. I'll talk to Carlisle about this."

"Talk about what?" you said. Edward asked you to be quiet. The black wolf howled and the rest of the pack disappeared into the woods. Before he left he glared at Edward causing him to sigh wearily.

"I'll keep that in mind."

When the wolves were gone Edward and you left the river, walked back home and before you went inside you asked him for an explanation. He refused, but you insisted til you convinced him that it wasn't a good idea to use your hypnosis on him.

"What was it with those shape-shifters?"

"They were upset because you violated the treaty."

"A thousand year old treaty? Yeah, that's silly."

"No, it isn't. It's sacred."

"Living with Carlisle has changed you a lot, I see."

"Listen" he said, holding you by the shoulders "We can't go against the rules. That's not how we manage here and they have as much power in their lands as we have in ours"

"So we can't go beyond the riverbed?"

"You can" he tried to explain "I mean, I think so. You can do it now, I guess. Something like that."

You frowned

"What?"

"(Y/N), do you understand what happened just now? When that brown wolf looked at you and lay down in the brush in front of you?" you shook your head "It's... the equivalent of what we felt when we found our mate, He..."

"What?" you asked, atonished. Edward nodded "You're joking. Tell me it's a fucking joke, don't play with that!"

"(T/N)..."

"That's crazy!"

"We'll talk to Carlisle, we'll try to work it out."

"So what?" you laughed unfunnily as you tossed your hair back "What does this mean, that I'm part of his pack now or what?"

Edward closed his eyes.

"I think so. Yes"

"Bloody hell."

The Dream Wedding

Pairing: Idol!Jin x OC

Genre: fluff

Word Count: 3.1k (whoops?)

Warnings: slightly suggestive at the end

Summary: The day that Jin and Jasmine have dreamed of for years is finally here, and it's just as magical as they expected it to be.

“Are you sure, Jin? All of your family would have to fly out if we get married there.”

“And your family will have to fly to Korea if we get married there. And besides, a beach wedding in February sounds amazing, doesn’t it?”

Jasmine giggled. “Well, it is certainly us.”

“So, what do you say?”

“Ok. We can get married on Coogee beach.”

◇◆◇◆◇

“Zelda, what was the thought process behind this hairstyle?” Esme asked, motioning to Zelda’s space buns as she sat down next to her friend.

“Simple. My hair isn’t in my face when we are running around the airport.”

“But…you look like a child.”

“That I do. But it’s worth it for comfort.”

“Oh, come on, Esme, her hair is cute. I wish my hair would stay in buns like that,” Yuna commented as she shoved her carry-on in its compartment.

Zelda laughed. “I’m glad someone likes it.”

“It’s going to be odd to be landing somewhere that it’s sunny,” Rosaelia commented as she sat down.

“You’re telling me. We had a foot and a half of snow in Chicago when I left last week,” Zelda replied.

“What’s that in centimeters?” Yuna asked.

“About forty-six.”

Yuna’s eyes widened.

◇◆◇◆◇

“Did you say that you’re staying in your own room while we’re here?” Rosaelia asked Zelda as they walked through the airport.

“Actually, Tae mentioned something about me sharing with someone else, I think.”

“Do you know who?”

Zelda shook her head.

◇◆◇◆◇

Tae ended up being the one to pick the four of them up from the airport. He gave them a cheeky grin as he abandoned his seat and stepped out of the car.

“I think I’m gonna need some help fitting all of those bags into the back of the car,” he laughed.

“Sorry. I overpacked,” Rosaelia admitted as she dragged her three bags up to the back of the car.

“Oh, we never would’ve guessed,” Esme rolled her eyes playfully.

Once the bags had all found a place in the back and everyone was piled into the car, they were off.

“How have you all been?” Tae asked.

“Busy,” Rosaelia replied.

“Bored,” Yuna admitted.

“I’ve been fine,” Esme informed him.

Tae glanced at Zelda.

“You know how I’ve been.”

He grinned. “Did any of you hear about what happened in England last month?”

That caught everyone’s attention.

“No? What happened?” Esme asked.

Tae leaned back in his chair as they stopped at a light. “Nothing much. Jimin just tripped a waiter when we were at a restaurant. Ruined a girl’s dress.”

“Are you supposed to be telling us this?” Rosaelia’s brow crumpled.

“Sure. Who else would I tell? We all know the media would go absolutely bonkers if they found out he was within five meters of a girl.”

“Dang right they would,” Rosaelia rolled her eyes. “Those people need to stop living off of gossip.”

◇◆◇◆◇

That evening, everyone headed to Jasmine’s aunt’s house for dinner. She and Jasmine’s mother were cooking. Everyone had managed to cram into two cars to head over. Besides Jungkook, who no one had been able to find since everyone had gotten into town.

“He said he’s fine, and he’s got his bodyguards with him, so I think he’s ok,” Namjoon commented as he checked his phone.

“No one knows where he went?” Esme asked.

“Not that I know of.”

“That’s a little weird,” she furrowed her brow.

“I’m sure he’s fine,” Tae butted in. “He just has something to do before dinner.”

“And do you know something about this?” Esme asked.

“What? Nope. I know nothing.”

Esme side-eyed him, and Tae gave her an innocent smile.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at Jasmine’s aunt’s house, and Jasmine was excitedly standing on the porch to greet everyone. Tae slipped out of the car before anymore questions could be shot at him, and Zelda was quick to follow.

“Jimin, do you know where Jungkook is?” Esme asked.

“Nope. I thought we’d see him at the hotel.”

“Hmm.”

Esme asked around once they got inside, and no one had any clue where Jungkook was. Yoongi hadn’t even known he wasn’t in the other car, which was a surprise. Yoongi was generally the one who Jungkook told anything, so the fact that Yoongi knew nothing was odd.

Esme entered the kitchen to find Jin, a young man, and two older women running around the kitchen.

“Oh, hey, Ese! Glad to see you got in safely!” Jin greeted as he sauteed some vegetables.

“Do you know where Jungkook is? No one seems to know where he is. Well, except Tae, and he won’t tell us what’s going on.”

“Ah. That’s a secret.”

“You know where he is?”

“Well, not exactly. I have a brief idea of what he’s doing, but I’m not really sure. He’ll be here soon.”

Esme clicked her tongue. “All right. Guess we’ll just wait for him to show up.”

◇◆◇◆◇

Jungkook finally made an appearance right before dinner was ready…with a girl. Jasmine greeted both of them before leading them inside. The room went dead silent when everyone saw the girl standing next to Jungkook.

“Everyone, this is Astrid. She’s my girlfriend.”

“I knew it!” Tae exclaimed. “This is why you didn’t want me telling everyone you were going to the airport!”

“Tae,” Zelda nudged him. “Were we supposed to know you knew that?”

“It’s fine,” Jungkook laughed. “I just needed him to keep quiet until we got here.”

The girls were all quick to introduce themselves to Astrid, and then it was time for dinner.

“Where has Jungkook been hiding you?” Esme asked Astrid.

Astrid laughed. “Me? He’s been hiding me in France, I suppose.”

“France? You’re from France?” Zelda exclaimed. “That’s awesome!”

“You’re from America, right?”

Zelda nodded. “Born and raised.”

“And you,” Astrid nodded towards Esme. “England?”

“That’s right!” Esme agreed.

“Ohh, Tae?” Zelda turned toward her fiancé.

“Yes?”

“Astrid is my roommate?”

“Yep.”

“Ah. Ok, this explains a lot.”

“Hey! This isn’t fair! You get to know her before the rest of us do?” Esme frowned.

Astrid laughed. “If you feel left out, you can always join us. If that’s ok with Zelda, anyways.”

“I haven’t had a sleepover in years! It sounds awesome!” Zelda grinned.

◇◆◇◆◇

“Honestly, I never expected to be in Australia. Especially not for a wedding,” Astrid admitted. “And we shouldn’t have let her send us home with all these baked goods. I’m going to get fat.”

Zelda laughed. “Honestly, I was hoping they’d get married here, but I wasn’t going to give my opinion. So, how’d you and Jungkook meet?”

“You’re going to laugh.”

“It can’t be as bad as how Tae and I met.”

Astrid raised an eyebrow. “I was walking – or, running, I guess – out of a coffee shop, and ran straight into him. He replaced my coffee, and I thought that was the end of it. And then, it happened againthe next day! He gave me a napkin with his number on it before he left. We started talking, and after a few months we decided we were meant for each other.”

Zelda smiled. “That’s cute.”

“What about you and Tae?”

Zelda groaned. “Ok, so my best friend is a singer, and she invited me to go to the Grammys with her. At some point, I realized he was staring at me.”

Astrid gasped. “No! Not staring!”

Zelda laughed. “After that day, my best friend kept asking if I liked him or something. I didn’t. Eventually, she tricked me into meeting him again because they shot a music video with her. He and I started talking, and I guess it got a bit personal. We didn’t see each other for months after that, though. My friend invited me to a party they had after their concert, and he finally asked for my number. We’ve been together since.”

Astrid smiled. “Well, I feel like that’s a bit more realistic way to fall in love. Over time.”

Zelda flushed. “If I’m being honest, I stalked him for months on Instagram before we even talked the second time.”

“Well, you gotta do your research before dating a rich, famous guy.”

“Touché.”

“Hey, do you think Esme would want to head down to the beach?”

“That depends entirely on whether or not she’s spending time with Namjoon.”

“Doesn’t hurt to ask, right?”

◇◆◇◆◇

“Hey! I did not agree to having a pillow fight!” Jimin exclaimed as Tae assaulted him with a pillow multiple time.

Tae grinned for the split second before Jungkook smacked him in the head with a pillow, causing him to fall flat on his back.

“Do I need to call Zelda?” Jungkook asked.

“Please. I’d quite enjoy spending the night with her,” Tae smirked as he sat up slightly and leaned against his hand.

Jimin rolled his eyes. “You should’ve shared a hotel room with her, then.”

“She said no,” Tae grumbled.

“Guess you’re stuck watching anime with us then,” Jungkook grinned as he tossed his pillow back on the bed.

“Great.”

“Hey, cheer up. It’s only two more nights. Then we can all do whatever we please.”

“Oh, that makes me so happy,” Tae replied sarcastically as he leaned against Jungkook’s shoulder. “Fine. How many more caramel tarts do we have?”

◇◆◇◆◇

The next day was Valentine’s Day, so mostly everyone split up to spend the day with their significant other. Except Jimin, who decided to tour on his own since he had no one to spend the day with.

“Yoongs, did you see these dresses?” Rosaelia asked as she held one of them up in front of her. “I’ve never seen a pattern like this before! I love it! We have to get these!”

“Try them on. I’d like to see what they look like.”

Rosaelia smiled, heading to find a dressing room so that she could try the dresses on.

“Ok, what do we think about this one?” she asked, stepping out of the dressing room and spinning around in the dress.

Yoongi smiled. “You look great in it!”

“Awesome! Should I try on the two-piece?”

He nodded. She returned to the dressing room and emerged in the other dress a minute later.

“I might have to resize the top if we buy it,” she muttered, tugging it up. “It’s a bit loose.”

“It’s pretty, though. If you think you could fix it, you should get it.”

“Should I?” she smiled. “It is pretty. You’re right. I should get this one, too.”

“Now can we go to lunch?” he pleaded.

“Yes, my starving husband, we can go to lunch.”

◇◆◇◆◇

“I think you should try this one,” Esme said, holding up the mini cupcake.

Namjoon took a bite of it cautiously, chewing for a few seconds before swallowing. “Eh. Not the best one we’ve tried.”

“You’ve said that about all of them!”

“Ok, well, they’re getting progressively worse!”

Esme laughed. “Ok, I’ll admit the banana didn’t go with the cashew. Not really sure what they were trying to do there.”

“Eugh. That wasn’t nearly as bad as the blueberry and chocolate.”

“Yeah, I really thought that one would be a lot better than it was.”

“We’re not doing cupcake tasting next year for Valentine’s Day.”

“Deal,” Esme nodded.

“Hey, you’ve got something on your lip there,” Namjoon muttered, leaning down.

“What is i-”

Esme was cut off by Namjoon pressing a kiss into her lips.

“My lips,” he grinned.

“Ah. Of course. Still a flirt after nearly nine years.”

◇◆◇◆◇

Yuna stepped out onto the balcony. Hobi was leaning on the railing, staring out at the ocean.

“Hey, you should put your swimsuit on. Let’s head down to the beach.”

“What? Hanging out in the hotel isn’t good enough for you?” Hobi smiled at her.

“I want to swim,” she frowned. “Come on,” she tugged on his sleeve. “Let’s go. We won’t be able to swim once we’re back in Korea.”

“Ok! Let’s go get ready.”

They found themselves walking along the beach fifteen minutes later as the sun began to disappear behind the city. Hobi reached down, intertwining his fingers with Yuna’s.

“You know, it feels nice out here. It’s warm,” Yuna smiled as she dug her toe into the sand momentarily.

“Yeah. Nice change from Seoul at the moment,” Hobi laughed.

“It’s nice to have a break from wedding planning,” Yuna admitted.

Hobi let out a gentle ‘ha!’. “I agree. Tae and Zelda need to wait a little while longer until they get married.”

“Oh, cause December isn’t far away enough from now.”

Hobi chuckled. “No, it’s too close. I don’t want to see another tuxedo for at least two years after tomorrow.”

“Wow. You’re that tuxedoed out?”

“Definitely.”

Yuna laughed. “We should go swim.”

“But then we’ll have to shower!”

“But if we don’t swim, then we put our swimsuits on for no reason.”

“That’s true.”

“Come on,” she grinned, dragging him down to the water.

The two of them splashed around a bit, wading father out into the water.

“Ok, I’m not going out any farther,” Yuna giggled as she ran her hands through the water. It had risen above her waist now

Hobi sighed and wrapped his arms around her waist before staring up at the sky.

“Hey, you can see some stars.”

Yuna followed his gaze, smiling as she saw the stars.

“Wow, I don’t recognize any of these.”

“Yeah, me neither. I wonder which ones make constellations.”

Yuna smiled, turning her attention back to his face. The moonlight was reflecting on his face now that the sun had fully set. She reached up, wrapping one arm around his neck before laying her other hand against his cheek. He looked down at her then.

“You’re so beautiful. You know that?” she murmured.

He stayed silent, but a shy smile creeped onto his face. She ran her fingers over the short hair at the nape of his neck. A few moments later, she pulled herself up so that she could meet his lips. His eyes fell shut, reveling in the kiss for the few moments before she pulled away.

“Is there anything you’d like to do tonight?” she asked quietly.

◇◆◇◆◇

Jasmine rolled over in bed as she heard a knock on the door.

“Hey, Jasmine? You need to wake up. Your wedding starts in two hours.”

Who was at the door? What time was it, even? Jasmine squinted at the clock. Oh, wow. It was ten already. She sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes as she yawned.

“Jasmine?”

“Coming!”

She pulled the door open a moment later to find Zelda standing at the door.

“I was voted as your wake-up knock this morning,” Zelda smiled. She held up a bag. “And I brought you breakfast.”

“Oh, Zelda, you’re a darling! Come in. I need to get changed really quick before we go.”

Zelda stepped inside, closing the door behind her as Jasmine dug through her suitcase.

“Is Astrid awake?” Jasmine asked.

“Barely. She’s probably fallen asleep. We were up pretty late last night with the guys.”

Jasmine laughed. “We really should’ve scheduled the wedding for tomorrow.”

Zelda grinned. “Did you and Jin do anything yesterday?”

“Oh, yeah. Lots. I showed him around the city, and then we got dinner at this fancy sushi place. It was a lot of fun. What about you and Tae?”

“We went to the beach for the whole morning. You can probably tell. I’m a bit pink. Then we did some window shopping. We spent most of the afternoon sleeping, though. And then we went out with Jungkook and Astrid for dinner.”

“That sounds awesome.” Jasmine reappeared, tugging one of her socks on. “We need to get going. You might want to wake Astrid. Don’t want her to miss the wedding.”

Zelda handed Jasmine her breakfast. “I’ll go get her. Meet me downstairs in ten minutes?”

◇◆◇◆◇

At the venue, the girls were introduced to Jasmine’s other two bridesmaids. Then, it was time to get ready.

“Does anyone want caramel slices? My mom made them for us to snack on while we get ready,” Gabby, Jasmine’s cousin announced.

“You know, Astrid said that these are going to make her fat, but I’ll gladly gain weight to eat these!” Zelda exclaimed as she took three caramel slices.

“I need me about ten of those,” Jasmine informed everyone before taking five for herself.

Zelda and Yuna worked together to tie up Jasmine’s hair, which was quite the task with the texture of Jasmine’s hair. Soon enough, everyone was ready to go, and Jasmine was practically buzzing with excitement.

“I think you’re the first bride I’ve seen who wasn’t extremely nervous,” Yuna commented.

“I’ve waited for this day since I was fourteen. There’s nothing to be nervous about. Just excitement,” Jasmine grinned. “Heck, I could’ve gotten married in my pajamas and have been happy.”

“Let’s be honest, Jin would’ve agreed to that,” Esme laughed.

◇◆◇◆◇

The ceremony was far longer than had been intended. Jasmine and Jin had both cried so much that they had had trouble getting through their vows, and then their tiny ring bearer had decided he didn’t want to give them their rings.

Eventually, they made it to their reception. The dancing tuckered everyone out, and they were beyond ready to eat. Jasmine’s best friend, Olivia, was eager to give her speech.

“Everyday that Jasmine mentions Jin, I laugh when I think about how they met. I just can’t imagine meeting my high school crush all these years later – in a concert venue, of all places! – and rekindling that relationship. You two will always amaze me. I hope for a love story as grand as yours.”

After Jungkook had given his best man speech, everyone dug into their dinner.

◇◆◇◆◇

Once Jin and Jasmine had successfully escaped their family and friends, they headed to their hotel.

“I’m thinking we should go swimming tonight. Spend our night on the beach. What do you think?” Jasmine asked as she pulled all of her hair pins out.

“You’re kidding, right?”

“Yes, I’m kidding.”

“Does that mean I can help you out of this dress?” he asked, leaning over her shoulder to meet her gaze in the mirror as he rested his hands on her hips.

“Oh, you’d like to help me with that, would you?” she glanced back at him. She brushed her finger under his chin, grasping it ever so lightly. “You’re too impatient.”

He laughed, leaning down to press a kiss into her lips. “I am not,” he muttered.

This is part of the Dad!BTS series that can be found here

Twilight characters as random animals that I think are oddly fitting

(Also yes, I am roasting the animals as well)

Edward: He would be a Cheetah. Now I know, seems like a cop out just because of his speed but hear me out. Cheetahs are, at face value, pretty cool. They used to be my favorite animal as a child, but then I grew up.

Cheetahs, through no fault of their own, are severely inbred. Now thats mainly because of poaching, but the cheetas anxiety also comes into play. In captivity, cheetahs are usually given emotional support dogs. I will admit it is cute but it negatively affects the population. Excluding one in the wild, cheetas can be to anxious to breed and thats not good for conservation efforts.

Cheetahs can hit up to 80 miles per hour in a couple of seconds. They are designed for fast running and agility. Their claws are similar to that of a dogs for better traction and they have elongated spines for longer strides. They have a thin build, long legs and a long tail for balance.

This has downsides though. Many times after making a kill, it will get stolen for them by larger predators. Thats right, they get absolutely bodied by the other animals. I should probably make these shorter but I'm on a rant now, so I guess this will be semi educational.

Throughout the series, we see Edward over estimated his abilities and value, constantly getting bodied by others. He's essentially a perfect mormon, though thats on S'meyers. He constantly judges others, dehumanizing them to their baser flaws, without doing any self reflecting. Him viewing himself as a monster doesn't really count to me. While he definitely hates himself, the only thing he is truly demonizing is being a vampire.

Bella: Picking up from Edwards, Bella is a Chocolate Labrador. Yes, she is his therapy dog. I feel like this is really fitting for her. I know Golden retriever would make more sense, as thats the most common breed for service animals. However, I kind of focused on her appearance. Only at first though! I just know that Edward raved about her human qualities and that would pass over as animals as well. Her chocolate eyes and brown fur, very average and boring. Thats essentially Bella. Even Edward wasn't into her until he got a wiff. Labradors a very loyal dogs and while they have more personality than Bella, I just couldn't shake it. Their also very stupid. Ok that's kind of mean, they're not stupid but when it comes to love, then yeah they are stupid.

I used to have a lab, loved him to death, but god he was something else. Very much danger prone, from their own stupidity or their lack of survival instincts. I know that labs are almost aquatic. They love water, swimming, all that jazz. We can just say that bella has a few screws loose in her dna and is just "not like other labs."

Rosalie: Now she was hard. There are quite a few animals that I think would fit for her. I'll list the other ones, but that one I went with is the Swan. Like Edward, seems a little on the nose, but I have my reasoning.

I was going to pick a predator for her, as she is shown to be very vengeful and viscous. I would have pick some type of cat, most likely a purebred, from a rich family. It could still work, but the swan just speaks to me on this one.

Swan's are known for being beautiful, graceful, and are pictured as the symbol of love. They are also very vain. Edward constantly brings up Rosalies vanity. She was constantly valued for her beauty as a human, so of course that crossed over in the transformation. She was raised to be married into wealth, she was used as a bargaining chip to increase the family's standing.

Rose has a very strong character and makes her opinions known. She's assertive and aggressive at times. She's not afraid to get dirty.

Swans mate for life and like geese, are known for being great parents. I was also going to choose geese as an option for the maternal instincts. I was wary at first because swans can be really aggressive. Like actually, you think geece are bad? Yikes bestie...

I was conflicted because swans are known for drowning dogs and sometimes people. However, I can actually see Rose drowning Bella. It's not that unbelievable lmao.

Emmett: Now this one is just ironic. I only associate him with bears. Its inevitable, but picking a Grizzly or Black bear is too obvious. So I went a slightly different route...

So I was going to pick the Sun bear just because of looks alone. Like, I'm not exaggerating, it looks like someone wearing a bear costume. I don't think it fits him but I know for a fact that he would dress up as a sun bear and sneak into a zoo to see if anyone would notice. I'll put a pic of it here

Like look at this thing. I have no words...

Anyway, what I picked was a Sloth Bear. Now Sloth bears are mostly nocturnal, which either way works consider vamps don't sleep. Their diet is also odd but honestly so is the cullens. They're native to the Indian subcontinent, and are known for being aggressive towards humans. Its said that for the most part they're pretty calm, so I think its just fear of humans that make them act aggressively. Honestly, that's a good thing because they are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red list.

They have some similarities with sloths, which is where they get the name. They have long claws and unusual teeth. They are known to hang upside down from tree branches, and is described as having a messy appearance. Honestly, Emmitt has a messy personality. Sorry bestie but you're a lot of work.

Now heres the biggest reason for choosing this bear. Aside from Baloo from the jungle book being a sloth bear, they are known to run fades with Tigers. Honestly, how fucking badass is that!? Now I don't think there are recorded instances of a Sloth bear killing a Tiger, but when push comes to shove, they can hold their own and I find that incredibly impressive.

Carlisle: This one was somehow the easiest as well as the toughest. I know Owl seems like the obvious choice, and I can see it. However, I believe Carlisle values emotional intelligence as much or if not more than academic intelligence. He is so charismatic and values other's above himself. He might not be as Saint like as Edward thinks, but he does try and I think he genuinely cares about others. For that reason alone, I choose a Elephant.

Elephant's are very social animals and are extremely intelligent. I could rave about them for ages, I love them so much.

Now elephants live in a familial unit and are usually matriarchal. Bulls usually are on the outer edges of the herd or form little groups with other males. Honestly, they're not that bad aside from when their in musk.

In the group of males, the elder ones will teach the younger where to get the best food, water, how to use things as tools, and every other thing that will increase their odds of survival. This is really cute to me tbh, they do this because the females usually choose the older males because they've proved that they are intelligent and strong, that they have survived and will continue to for awhile. Teaching the younger males these things are to make the odds of them getting chosen to mate more likely. The whole unit just reminds me of a father that has to deal with rowdy teens.

Carlisle likes to take in strays, he might not have a herd but he will make one and teach them to thrive. That's how he envisions it anyway. He just has a found family and is trying his best.

Esme: Now this might seem like an insult, but I promise it's not! This is in no way misogynistic. I love cattle and ever since I took animal science in highschool, I have appreciated these grass puppies like they deserve. Call me Castro because I love cows.

Yup! I chose a Cow for her. Specifically a beef cow. That might sound weird but its because beef cows have higher maternal instinct than dairy cows. I'm thinking Scottish Highland based on vibes alone.

They are nicknamed the Gentle Giants of Scotland. Super maternal and sweet and ugh look how cute they are!

Esme came from a abusive marriage and had just lost her child, she was depressed and desperate. Her changing was, in a way, salvation. She just fits in. She adopts all these strays along with him and will protect them to the death. She might be gentle by nature, but don't fuck with her family. She lost her first one and she isn't going to lose this one.

Alice: She's an odd one. There are so many possibilities and maybe I'm biased, but I feel like she would be a Crow.

Ok listen, I'm definitely biased but it just feels right. Crows get a bad rap, they are so cool! They are so intelligent and have the ability to actually sit and think about the past, prest, and future. I forget what its called, but this was only seem in humans! Maybe other apes, I can't remember exactly, but either way its awesome. They do live in groups, or murders, and remember people and faces. They remember locations and are able to pass down information through generations. They essentially have their own language! They are able to use tools too!

Alice's story is really sad. When we first meets her, it revolves around the death of her mother and her institutionalized. She was essentially tortured and forgot everything from her past. All she had was the future and even that wasn't constant. Crows a often viewed as omens, they are associated with death. I personally believe that instead of being the cause, they just know something is going to happen. They are very inquisitive and can be creative.

If you befriend a murder of crows, sometimes, depends or the group, they will bring gifts. Its can range from food to shiny metals and colorful plastic. Hell, I think I've seen a post of one stealing things from people just to gift it to their human.

Alice's love language is gifts. Even if they are focused around fashion, she still goes out of her way to get something that will look good and at least be a little comfortable. By that I mean she tends to forget peoples comfort zones, but she means well.

Jasper: Honestly not to sure what to put for him. I know a predator would be more fitting, but for some reason I can see a donkey working. I know, seems like I'm clowning on the confederate. Fair, but I'm serious about the donkey thing. Honestly, it would be perfect if it wasn't a herbivore. Porcupine would also work.

Being a predator would make more sense. Given his backstory and his characterization, it wouldn't make sense for him to be a prey animal. Usually I wouldn't count this, but given his gore filled past and trouble with the diet, it seemed fitting.

I see him as a Big Cat. Honestly, vamps in general just give cat vibes. Jasper though especially have some cat like qualities, which originates from hunting and being a soldier.

I specifically see him as a Mountain Lion. Aside from him being blonde, he just has the predatory stealth to him. In midnight sun, we see him use his gift to make the nomads overlook him. He's honestly really powerful.

Mountain lions are known for being stealthy with an air of grace and power to them. They are stong animals. And I mean strong. They can jump 40-45 feet.

They're very elusive and quite. They stalk their prey and tend to attack from behind but don't think they won't hold their ground if need be.

Jasper was changed during the Civil War and forced to fight in the Newborn wars. He was a soldier as a human and as a vampire. He's able to feel and manipulate others emotions. He's covered in scars and is very intimidating.

He still struggles with the diet and honestly I hate how the others handle it. Like they have no room to talk. I don't want to defend the confederate but it just pisses me off. He has to deal with his hunger on top of everyone else's. Like damn, besties always on edge! Everyone doubts him which I don't think helps any.

Also, Mountain lions and Cheetahs can purr!

@aquanova99 I'll do a Volturi one too. That one will be fun lmao

“Do not mess with your moms attempt at time travel.” - she heard them but did not listen : chapter three

Description

Lizzie made a lot of mistakes. Mistakes she felt like she wasn’t allowed to make but no ones perfect, even superheroes, even her mom.

“Auntie Kelly!” Lizzie shouted, making a sprint for the woman. She tackled Kelly with her arms wide open tightly wrapping them around her. Kelly froze, a look of pure shock and confusion plastered over her face but she quickly wrapped her arms around the young girl.

Alex grimaced watching her wife stagger a few steps back at the sheer force Lizzie had let out. Lizzie was happy seeing another familiar face. She snuggled her face into the woman’s neck letting out a sigh.

“This-this is Lizzie,” Kelly says looking towards Alex.

“I’m so happy to see you!” Lizzie beamed pulling back. Kelly looked down at her and sent the young girl a smile. “Is Esme here? Did you bring her here? It’s so weird I’m older than her now. She’s like-like the older cousin you know. She’s my mission buddy, which is cool, we work-“

“Ah ah ah,” Alex let out lightly.

Lizzie stopped and froze for a moment. Her brain taking a second to catch up with her mouth. Right, don’t say that.

“I’m sorry,” Lizzie breathed deeply. She stepped back letting her arms fall to her sides.

“Hey it’s ok. You're excited there’s nothing wrong with that. Are you feeling stressed?” Kelly asked and Lizzie nodded. “I can’t imagine how stressful it is to not say too much. We’re here to help and if we have to cut you off there’s nothing wrong with that. You should be able to be happy and excited on the moments you can and we will help you.”

“Gosh,” Lizzie breathed out looking up at Kelly. “You're exactly the same.” Lizzie was grinning again and launched forward to hug Kelly tightly.

“I’m the favorite,” Kelly laughed winking at Alex.

Everything was just rushed which is what was always happening but WHEN THEY BROUGHT CAT GRANT BACKKKK

Bro I did not see her snorkeling to save the turtles but its Ms. Grant you never know

I AM SO HAPPY SHE BOUGHT CATCO BACK AND KARA I CANT BELIEVE SHE REALLY TOOK HER GLASSES OFF

omg omg

I just realized we are never, ever gonna see something new, not a new episode, no more new seasons

I mean since I was like 11 I would wait each year til it came out on Netflix to watch it, kinda that annual thing that forgot about until it was time to watch the next season

I remember I would watched Supergirl on repeat a few years back

Supergirl was my first favorite female hero

I am gonna miss her so much

I really wanna meet Melissa Benoist

Ok so I don't care you are able to get to see my top 5 I think maybe 6 female actress I wanna meet and why

1. Melissa Benoist-(Supergirl) Because she made me first wanna be an actress and two because she was there when not many people were(well just the show but I look put to her)

2. Emma Watson-(Hermione) We have the same name and Hermione showed me that even if you are born regular(muggle), extraordinary things can still happen to you, and the Harry Potter Books got me through my rough Middle School years

3. Daisy Ridley-(Rey Skywalker) She made me love Starwars and its weird because I can't remember what it was like before I watched it Also side note I went and saw The Rise of Skywalker first. That was my first Starwars movie. I know I know and then I went and watched 4 times total in the theater I loved it, and I remember before the first time seeing it I watched the last 15 minutes of the movie before to get a jist of what was happening and yeah

4. Elizabeth Olsen/Scarlett Johansson- (Wanda and Natasha) Funny enough I didn't really get into Marvel til the beginning of 2021, stupidly the first movie I watched was in 2019 Endgame, again, I know I know but I remember I was crying. I cried. I did, it happened and I only remember seeing it back then bc Oh well its the last one(i didn't know it totally wasn't) I might as well go see it. But then my friend beggged me to watch WandaVision and I got hooked, watched all the movies in a week sitting in my bed and then BOOM here we are. I was obsessed with Wanda at First and don't really remember when but Natasha just was my favorite I mean love them both but yeah.

New girl (Twilight au Witch x Edward) Part 2

WARNING: Here is part 2 cause why not! And if this has typos or is just bad I do apologize but thank you for reading!

Hope you enjoy !

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

The next day at school was interesting, watching people just stare at the Cullen's was a little funny. I can see why they would be fascinated with them. I just subtly nodded to Alice and walked around them, only to bump into Asher. “Hey.” He laughed, as I backed up a bit. “Sorry,” I mumbled, walking around him.

It was only until I got to the school doors that I realized that he followed me. Oh right. He said he was going to be a guide for me. “Forget?” he joked, walking with me in. “So what classes do you have?” We stopped a bit as I pulled out the schedule and handed it to him.

I waited as he looked it over before giving it back to me with a grin. “So you have a class with Edward and then with Alice neat.” I watched as he got a little shy when I continued to look at him, before letting out a little chuckle. “Does my guide know the way to my classes?” I joked as he seemed to snap out of it with a grin. “Yes, this way.” As we walked to my class we talked about our mornings and he started telling me about this play of Romeo and Juliet and how they are the ideal couple.

“No, they aren’t”

At first, I didn’t realize that Asher had stopped until I looked back and saw him catching up. “Why aren’t they? They are the main reason for the Romeo and Juliet tragedy. How can you say that.” I chuckled, at his enthusiasm. He must be a true romantic. “Don’t you think the whole ‘woe me and die with me’ thing a little funny. I mean I get why they are willing to die for each other but there were many ways they could have done it instead of that way and still be happy.”

His eyes seemed glazed like he was thinking about what I said. “Then how would they make it so they would be together?” He questioned as we reached my first class. “Talk later?” I saw Edward go into the classroom and dropped my head. “Huh? Oh yeah, talk later!” Asher grinned as he walked away.

Immediately after I entered the classroom I headed to my seat next to Edward and pulled out my Calculus book and waited for Mr. Varner to come into the room and write on the board the pages we would be doing. I took a piece of paper and started doing the problems while he explained them to everyone. Not once did I look at Edward as I did the math problems. Even when it was getting close to the end of class and everyone was chatting with their friends.

No sooner did the bell ring than I got up and walked out the door to see Asher walking towards me. He seems like he can brighten up a room. Together he walked me to my next class while we debated on if Romeo and Juliet were the ideal couples and every time I would come up with a good enough reason he would just fire back with some reason that they were meant to be together.

He left me at my next class saying that the debate was not over. I got to my seat to see Alice grinning at me next to me. “Hey, Luna having a fun debate with Asher?” I nodded as Mrs. Wilcox came over to me with a history book. “I’m sorry for not giving you one, it must have slipped my mind but if you need any help Alice said she would help you.” “Thank you,” I replied as she turned and started the lesson when the bell rang.

Alice seemed to be watching me and I listened to the lecture and took down notes. “Your handwriting is pretty.” She commented as she was writing down the same notes. “Thanks. Yours is pretty as well.” I told her, taking a glance at her neat paper. It was.

“Ok, that is all for today but class I need you to read chapter 6 and give a little review on it. Because next time is going to be a pop quiz.” Mrs. Wilcox said, looking around, stopping at me then going on. “Ok.” She smiled, turning to go back to her desk, as the bell rang.

Packing my stuff I made it to the door just as Asher came around the corner, panting. “You ok?” I asked, concerned, reaching out and placing a hand on his shoulder. “Yup. Just catching my breath.” He waved me off as he stood up and took deep breaths, calming down his heart.

After he caught his breath, we talked more but he kept insisting that they were. And at one point I agreed and he looked triumphant until I disagreed. The look on his face when I disagreed was hilarious. He seemed very determined to get me to agree with him.

I laughed at him as we rounded a corner and nearly ran into Edward. My body froze an inch from his. I took a step back and nodded my head to him, walking around him. Don’t wanna make him hate me more than he already does. He stepped in my way again. “I want to talk with you after school.” He whispered to me as he walked away.

“What was that about?”

Watching him walk away I just shook my head. Even I wasn’t sure. “No idea.” The next classes I have were fun. Drawing is something that always soothed me when I was feeling sad. And in English, we just had to write a poem of our own so that was easily done.

When it was time for lunch I got my food and sat at the empty table. Eating as I sketched, minding my own business as the lunchroom started to get loud. I threw my garbage away when I saw the Cullen's come in and sit at the table next to mine.

Not two seconds later Asher came through the door and came and sat next to me after he got his food. “Leaving a friend how nice.” I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at him. “I knew I would see you at lunch so I thought it would be fine,” I said, closing my sketchbook. “What were you drawing?” He asked, interested. Why not. I opened it again and put it out in front of him. It was a picture of Esme, she was smiling, with flowers behind her.

“You drew her so well. How long have you been drawing?” I shrugged, taking back the sketchbook. “My whole life. I enjoy drawing, it’s calming to me.” He nodded and ate his food when I started to hear the rain hit the window. A little gasp left my lips as I turned to the window and just listened to the rain. I must have zoned off cause then I felt Asher shaking my shoulder. Jerking to him I ducked my head to see Edward and who I am guessing to be Jasper looking at me, each with unreadable expressions. “Sorry.” Asher just laughed and reached over to flick my head, which I easily dodged.

“What was so distracting?”

“The rain.”

Before he could ask what I was talking about, I smiled, keeping my eyes closed. “Haven’t you ever listened to the rain?” I peeked to see him shake his head, confused. “You should, it is very calming to listen to. I’m sure you can easily fall asleep just listening to it.”

The silence was weird. I would think he would find it weird or funny but he said nothing and that made my heart start to drop. “I never thought of it that way.” Letting out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding had me resting my head on the table. He seemed to find that funny as he ruffled my hair. Thank goodness. I took a swat at his hand and lifted my head. “So, how is your day so far?” “Good yours?” Can’t complain today at least. “Good.” A ping went off in my head and as I focused on it, it led me into the mind of someone coming close to us.

Who though? Their mind wasn’t kind, to say the least, they only thought of hurting others. “Hello, you must be the other new student.” A girl’s voice said, holding out her hand to me. “Crystal.” I heard Asher greet her, he seemed confused about her being there. I stared at the ground as I shook her hand. The memories of her bullying others flood my mind but I block it off for the moment. “Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Luna.” I greeted her with a nod.

She let out a loud laugh. I get that the lunchroom was noisy but it seemed like she was trying to draw the attention of others. “Well, welcome, and if you need help I wouldn’t mind helping.” Her smile was very misleading when her eyes were clearly saying she wants nothing to do with me. “No, it's fine. I have him as a guide and I’ll think I’ll stick with him. Thank you though.” her smile dropped for a second before it was back and brighter than ever. “Ok, then.”

Even though she said that she continued to stand there politely, it wasn’t till Asher went to throw away his garbage that she got close to me. “Listen here new girl, what the hell do you think you are doing?” “Sitting here and talking with a friend?” I questioned, acting dumb. I held back my anger with what she said next. “Right. Like someone can be friends with that Cullen kid. My guess is you’re just using him to get to the other hotter siblings right?” She started to giggle but got cut off by me. “No. I’m not using him, and why would you care if you don’t seem to even know his name.” I defended Asher, I will not stand by as she talked bad about him. He is very kind.

That had her drawback a bit until she got in my face again. “I know what his name is you bitch I ju-” “Then what’s his name?” I interrupted her again, waiting patiently. “It’s . . . Henry of course.” Really? I stared at her for a moment shaking my head. “Wrong, now if you don’t mind please leave me alone.” As I was talking she snatched my sketchbook and was looking through it. I stood up to grab it but she held it out of my reach.

“You make such pretty drawings, would you like to join our drawing club?” Her voice was loud enough to get multiple people to turn and stare. “No, I’m good. Can I have my sketchbook back please?” My hand still out to grab it. “Sure.” As I grabbed it she got close to me and whispered. “Watch it, girl, I can make it so you never have friends here.” At that, I smiled and whispered back. “That’s ok. If you’re going to do that then I just need him as a friend.” Shrugging I pulled my sketchbook out of her hand. She glared at me and turned and walked away with a smile.

“Very rude to not even know his name,” I mumbled to myself.

Asher came back looking confused. “What was that about?” Ok, not going to tell him about that. “She wanted to know if I wanted to join a drawing club and I told her no thanks.” I shrugged, putting my sketchbook in my bag. “Ready to go?” I nodded as I got up and we walked out the door, and for some reason, I felt like someone was watching me.

We made it early to our class and sat in the corner and got back to our Romeo and Juliet debate. He gave up after a bit of trying to convince me about them being the ideal couple. I could tell he wanted to talk about it more but gave up for now. Even when we went to our next class and I was reading the history chapter and was writing a review on it I felt his eyes on me.

I started laughing cause he still looked like he wanted to say more but didn’t want to at the moment. I made it to my car when I heard someone call my name. Glancing back to see Asher running at me had me a little confused. Why come over here when his family is on the other side of the parking lot?

My silent question was answered as he got to me. “I’m going with you so you don’t bail out of coming over.” If I said I was going to come over I’m going to come over. “Fine.” I unlocked my car and he hopped in, turning the radio on and we listened to the radio on the way to his house.

Esme was standing outside to greet us. “Welcome back.” She grinned as she let us inside. I placed my backpack below where I was sitting and pulled out my sketchbook as we talked and waited for the other kids to get home. And I got that snack she was telling me about.

But as soon as the rest of them did get back Asher was already trying to get me to agree with him. “Asher! If they were the ideal couple then why did they die?” He stopped to stare at me. “If someone loves another then they would do everything in their power to protect them from even their own family and if they were so in love then they would have the guts to tell their families.” I stopped to take a breath. “Loving someone I’m sure means you put their feelings above your own and if they fell in love at first sight then they should have eloped and no one would have to die. And they could tell their family about it and it would be their family’s choice to accept them or not.” Asher was just stunned looking at me as well as the others.

“So do tell me why you think they are the ideal couple? I get that they are the woe of that century because of their love which causes their deaths.” I stopped to take a drink of the lemonade that Esme had handed me. He was silent as he thought of what to say. From the corner of my eye, I saw Alice and Edward close to laughing, while Emmett was just grinning as he watched us.

I waited patiently as he thought. “I...Um...Well, they...Fine.” He looked down in defeat. I’m sorry to bring your spirit down Asher. With a pat on his shoulder, I smiled at him. “You know if they are the ideal couple for you then why not just let it be for you?” When he nodded I sighed in relief.

“Then what’s your idea of an ideal couple?”

Shrugging a shoulder as I went back to my sketchbook I started to draw the view from their windows. “I don’t know to be honest. Maybe a couple who will not give up on each other or allow anyone to hurt them, I guess when you love someone you accept everything about that person.” I stopped as I shaded parts of the drawing. “I’m pretty sure when you fall in love it will be like a hurricane. Sometimes it’s unexpected, and sometimes it’s stronger than you think. But just like a hurricane, it can hurt you.”

A hand was placed on my shoulder which made me look up to see Asher, grinning at me. “You are a romantic aren’t you?” Rolling my eyes at him I pushed his hand away. “You are too. But isn’t that everyone? Wanting to be with someone that you don’t have to keep secrets from?” I stopped drawing at this point and just had it on my lap as everyone started talking. Not noticing that someone was staring at me.

It was close to nighttime when I headed home and Asher insisted on walking me home but I waved him off cause I drove here. He laughed and went back inside as I drove the short distance to my house. As I got out I went to open my door when someone clears their throat.

“Hmm?”

I turned to be met with Edward and Emmett in the tree line. “Can I help you?” I questioned, stepping closer unafraid. They were silent as it was getting darker. “Who are you?” Edward asked as the porch light started to be the only light around aside from my house lights. “Luna?” Emmett chuckled at his brother before he leaned against a tree. “I think he means what are you? You seemed to know what we are. So it only seems fair right?”

Does it matter though? My head tilted as I just looked at them. “Why? It doesn’t seem like it matters.” They started to protest before Emmett just shrugged “Fine by me as long as you don’t mean my family any harm.” and walked away into the darkness. With just me and Edward the silence lasted until I went to turn to head inside. “How do I know you’re not going to harm my family?” He asked as he grabbed my arm. A cold breeze blew past us and sent a chill down my spine.

Wanting to get inside I grabbed his hand on my arm and easily pushed it off. “You will just have to trust me, Edward.” I ignored his memories for the moment as I dropped his hand. Hugging my sweater to myself I waited as he was silent as the wind blew. I gave up after a few more minutes of standing in the cold and went inside.

After I ate with my dad I headed upstairs to make sure I had all my homework done and then just listened to music as I drew a little more before heading to bed.

Temptation Pt25

Temptation Masterlist

A few weeks later

I wake up to an empty bed, I presume Emmett went hunting. I get up and go downstairs to a panicked house

"What's going on?"

"Bella's pregnant" Rose smiles excitedly. I laugh out loud

"Good one Rose. Seriously what's going on?"

"Kat Rosalie isn't lying. Bella really is pregnant" Alice now says with a worried expression

"Ok I must have ate bad meat last night and I'm just having a weird dream" I close my eyes tightly "wake up Kat" I open one eye still with a scrunched up face

"What are you doing?" Jasper asks and I sigh opening my eyes properly

"Trying to wake up, but it's not working. How is this even possible?" I frown looking at Carlisle

"Im not sure"

"So male vampires can still... ya know... well actually we all know they can because we....."

"Woah babe" Emmett chuckles wrapping an arm around my shoulders

"Sorry. So female vampires are the ones who can't... but I'm only half, how come Emmett and I haven't ever had a child"

"I'm sorry Kat, I know how much you wish you had been able to be with your daughter and I know you would have loved another child" esme says pulling me into a hug

"So you'll help Bella then?" Rose asks me

"Help with what?"

"They want to kill the baby"

"Rose it's going to kill her" Alice argues

"Cant Edward turn Bella then she can have the baby as a vampire?" I ask

"I don't know, but that could also kill her" I then hear the car pull up outside. Then the door opens and quickly Edward is carrying Bella who looks like crap

"Holy shit" my eyes widen

"Edward" she weakly says "I need a bucket" Esme quickly runs off to find one and comes back before Bella throws up. Edward places Bella down on the couch

"So what are we going to do?" he asks folding his arms.

2 weeks later

"Is it true?"

"Hello Jacob how are you?"

"Listen, just give it to me straight" Emmett and I are sat on the couch opposite Bella watching her throw up the food she just ate

"This isn't good" i say as Rose walks over holding a glass of water

"Maybe Jake will knock some sense into her" Emmett mutters

"Jake? is that him at the door"

"She's here?"

"They came home 2 weeks ago" Carlisle sighs. I can hear foot steps walking up the stairs then Jake walks in. Rose is stood in front of Bella, Alice is sat in front of the tv while Jasper is behind her. Thomas and Esme are stood next to Emmett and I on the couch

"I'm glad you came"

"Close enough"

"What is your problem?"

"Jacob" I scold feeling the need to as if we are close, but of course we aren't. Him and Billy are my only living relatives and our families are enemies

"Rose it's ok" Rose moves out of the way over to Thomas. Jake sighs as he sits down

"You look terrible"

"Yeah, it's nice to see you too"

"So are you going to tell me what's wrong with you?"

"Rose, kat, you guys wanna help me up" I get off the couch and help Bella stand up with the help of Rosalie. Jake stands up staring at Bella's large stomach

"You did this!" Jake goes towards Edward but Emmett quickly stops him

"We didn't know it was even possible. Look at Kat and Emmett" Carlisle defuses the tension

"Well what is it?"

"I'm not sure"

"It's a baby" I look at them

"We don't know if it's human or not. Ultrasounds and needles won't penetrate the embryonic sac"

"I can't see it either" Alice stands "and I can't see Bella's future anymore"

"Like Ive told you all, I can hear a heart beating. It's not a vampire or at least it's not full vampire" I sigh

"We've been searching legends, but there isn't much to go off. We do know that it's strong and fast growing"

"Why haven't you done anything? take it out of her" Jake begins to get angry at Carlisle

"This is none of your business, dog"

"Rose" I frown "I'm still here and he is my great grandson"

"All this fighting isn't good for Bella"

"The fetus isn't good for Bella" Alice says between gritted teeth

"Say the word Alice, baby. It's just a little baby"

"Possibly" Jasper stands next to Alice

"Carlisle, you gotta do something"

"All of you just shut up!" I yell which shocks everyone "I'm sorry but no one here actually knows what it's like to grow a baby inside of you. You would die for that baby, if you had to chose your own life or the one inside you you would choose the latter. Ok yes not everyone has that opinion, but if you want that child then that's how you would feel. I'm the only one here who has been through this so I'm sorry, but no one here gets to decide what happens other than Bella. It's her body, her life not mine not yours so just everyone shut the hell up" I sit down on the couch with my head in my hands

"Thank you Kat" Bella weakly says

"Jacob I need to talk to you" Edward moves towards outside, Jake follows him.

Alec and his Cinderella

Word Count: 3,195 Alec x reader Part One Warnings: Alec is aged up. Fluff, Angst

Alec was sitting his room reading although he wasn’t enjoying the book; having read it many times before. He came to the realisation that he was bored; he needed a change of scenery, something new to do but he wasn’t sure what. “Are you ok brother?” Jane asked “You’ve been looking at the same page for ten minutes” Alec didn’t answer her right away “I’m just…a little bored. I mean I’ve read this book many times before….” “Well of course it’s your favourite” Jane cut him off “I know…but…oh I don’t know…” He ran his fingers through his hair “I suppose I’m…bored. We haven’t had a mission in weeks” Alec continued, Jane nodded “I didn’t realise it had been that long brother.”

Aro called a meeting with the elite guard “Thank you for coming dear ones. My brothers and I have something we would like to discuss with you. Renesmee is now fully grown and has requested the chance to go out into the human world; attend High School, see what it’s like but doesn’t wish to do so with her family. She got in touch to ask if it was ok for her to do so seeing as her father told Caius that he would keep her hidden from the human world” “Glad to see one of the Cullen children has a brain cell” Caius said snidely, causing the guards to smirk; Aro rolled his eyes at his brother and continued “She has agreed that one of you accompany her instead. I just need a volunteer” “No chance” Felix mumbled “I’ll go master. I think a change of scenery will be good” Alec replied “Fancy your chances with her do you?” Demetri asked winking at Alec “Oh yeah totally” Alec replied sarcastically and rolling his eyes.

“Will you be coming too sister?” “No. I couldn’t possibly leave Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum on their own for that length of time, imagine the chaos” Jane replied nodding in Demetri and Felix’s direction “Ha…I do love the affectionate nicknames you give each other” Aro said smiling “I doubt he’d say that if he knew some of the names we call her” Felix said low to Demetri, who choked back a laugh.

“That’s settled then Alec will be going to forks and the three of you will stay here and cover his duties. Although I might get Afton to cover Alec’s guard duties” Caius said with a wicked smile. “How soon do I need to be in Forks?” Alec asked “In a rush to see her are we?” Felix asked grinning “Grow up” Alec glared him. “You can leave as soon as you are ready, my boy” Aro answered “Give our best wishes to them won’t you Alec” Marcus said low “Of course master” He replied and returned to his room to pack.

Sometime later Demetri, Jane and Felix stopped by “So how come you volunteered so quick to go High School? I thought you hated humans” Demetri asked “Not to mention the Cullens” Felix added “I came to the realisation recently that I am bored and would like a change of scenery…and well this will provide me with that” Alec answered “Rather you than me mate…I mean the Cullens are bad enough but to be around that Dog all the time, no thanks” Felix said scrunching up his nose at the thought of the Wolf pack. “Just remember you have to play nice with the humans Alec…They’re your friends now so that means you cannot eat them” Demetri says smirking pointing his index finger at him; Felix and Jane cant help laughing “Get bent” Alec growled “Really sister?” He asked turning to face her “I’m sorry but that was funny, it was like weird dad advice” She said giggling “Don’t eat your friends…ha” She continued to laugh “If you need me to attend parent / teacher conferences, you only have to call” Demetri added smiling, Jane was practically doubled over with laughter “Can you…i-imagine it…Demetri attend-attending…those meetings...he’d flirt with all your teachers” “At least Alec would get good grades then” Felix added laughing “Thank you so much for your support in this…it’s truly overwhelming” Alec said not sounding amused “Sorry brother…you have my full support…honest” Jane said trying to sound serious now “Yes…you have my full support too…son” Demetri smiled and gave Alec a playful wink. “Mine too” Felix adds.

A few days Alec arrived in Forks, Esme collecting him from the airport “Hello Alec. It’s nice to see you. I trust you had a good flight?” She asked him “Hello Mrs Cullen. It’s nice to see you too. The flight was ok if you don’t count the child that spent half the flight crying and screaming” He replied “Sorry to hear that. No need for Mrs Cullen, you can call me Esme” “Thank you Mrs…Esme” He replied “We have set you up in Edward’s old room, there��s a bookcase full of books, a desk even a TV and a bed, should you wish to relax in your own space” She told him with a smile “Thank you for letting me stay with you” “You’re very welcome Alec. It’s the least we can do seeing as you are helping out Renesmee. I do have to tell you though there is one rule that must be followed during your stay. You aren’t allowed to…satisfy your dietary requirements shall we say in Forks. You will need to leave the city for that” “I understand…we have a similar rule back home…Volterra is out of bounds when it comes to...satisfying our dietary requirement” Alec responds.

Esme pulls up on the drive and sees Renesmee waiting for them “I should warn you Renesmee is really excited you’re here so…be prepared for a hug” Alec nods ‘surely she wouldn’t’ he thought to himself. “Alec! You’re here” Renesmee calls out; running and wrapping her arms around his neck giving him a hug, Alec hesitantly wraps his arms around her waist “Told you” Esme says smiling as she walks past them. “Ha…you owe me $10 Jas” Emmett calls out laughing.

That night Carlisle, Esme, Alice and Jasper sat in the family room with Alec and explained the cover story the school were told regarding himself and Renesmee. “It has been several years since any of our children have attended the school here; so we had to come with a plausible cover you and Ness, especially as no one really knows about her and I still work at the local hospital” Carlisle began, Alec nodded “Just a bit background for you first regarding us. Jasper poses as Rosalie’s twin and they use her last name Hale and it is known that they are the niece and nephew of Esme’s late brother. Emmett, Alice and Edward all use the name Cullen as Esme and I adopted them” Carlisle added. “Ok, so how do Renesmee and I fit into the family?” Alec asked “So Jasper had the idea that you and Ness should pose as siblings and use his last name of Whitlock. You would be the Carlisle’s niece and nephew and after losing your parents recently you have come to live with us” Esme explained. “That sounds alright actually. You’re good at this” Alec smiled. “Oh and we thought it would make sense if you and Ness were twins so you’d be in the same year at school” Alice added smiling “I have your new ID too courtesy of a friend” Jasper said handing Alec a birth certificate and passport “Thank you Jasper”

The day before school starts Renesmee pays Alec a visit “I’m going to hunting, would you like to come?” She asked him “You mean animals?” He asked in return his nose wrinkling at the thought “Not necessarily…I mean prefer your diet to ours…so I game either way” She smiled and he noticed the mischievous glint in her eyes “As much as I’d love that, I do not think your family would approve of you switching to my diet during my stay” Alec answered “Well then that means you can try our diet during your stay. Come on I’ll show you how to hunt animals” She sounded excited at the thought of showing someone how to hunt so he didn’t tell her that he had hunted animals previously on a mission albeit decades ago.

“Oh my god! You were so fast and you took down that Mountain Lion quicker than dad usually does” Ness said grinning as she and Alec entered the house “You taught me well Ness” Alec praised her “Thank you Alec” Edward chuckled having read Alec’s thoughts that he had hunted animals before but he appreciated Alec’s little lie and the hunting trip had helped them bond a little.

“Where have you been? Why are you with him?” Jake almost growled giving Alec a disgusted look “Shit” Emmett said from upstairs “Get lost Jake. Where I go and who with is none of your business” Ness replied “Come on Alec” She grabbed his hand and went to walk around Jake but he side stepped blocking her path “That is where you are wrong. It is my business” Jake raised his voice and before Ness knew what was happening Alec pushed her behind him and squared up to Jake “You have a problem with Ness, you have a problem with me! And for the record Ness doesn’t report to you, she can do whatever she likes. NOW MOVE!” Alec growled and stood his ground ready to defend Ness if needed, after all she was his ‘sister’ and no one was going to hurt her. Jake snarled at Alec and began shaking “Take it outside Jake!” Jasper warned from the top of the stairs “Don’t make me tell you a second time” “FINE!” Jake shoved past Alec on the way out “This isn’t over” He mumbled as he slammed the door behind him. “Thank you Alec” Ness said low “You’re welcome. Come on you promised me a movie night remember” Alec replied walking upstairs and Ness followed.

“I didn’t expect him to protect Ness like that” Emmett said to Jasper and Edward “Posing as siblings is easier if you think of one another as siblings” Edward replied “You mean he…he thinks of her a sister?” Jasper asked “Kind of. Think of it like this he is so used to having Jane around and doing things with her and although he knows she can take care of herself, he still protects and defends her. He has fallen into that brotherly role easily with Ness because A) she is alot younger than he is B) he didn’t like the way Jake spoke to her and C) he’s unsure if Ness could fully defend herself against Jake’s wolf form if she was ever put in that situation” Edward answered. “It’s a good thing he’s here then, maybe Jake will back off and respect her decision” Jasper replied.

Alec and Renesmee start High School the following week, the start of a new school year and Alec was surprised to discover that he was excited about this new venture. Although he missed Jane it was nice having Ness around and he had to admit he liked her company. Her view on things, on life was different; refreshing, as she was seeing everything for the first time, experiencing everything for the time and he had become fascinated by her and her reaction to the world. Ness introduced him to the world of Disney and the many princesses that lived within it. He decided to introduce Jane to the world of Disney once he was back at the castle.

The atmosphere at the Cullen house was quite relaxed compared to the castle; it definitely had a ‘family home’ vibe that he got used to very quickly, Esme and Carlisle making him feel as though he was part of their family from day one. He got along with Jasper easily as they would talk about history for hours; exchanging ‘war stories’ at times too. Emmett and Alec bonded over Emmett’s computer games; Alec would often beat him at Mario Cart, but would lose to him when playing Killer Instinct. Alice reminded him of Jane when it came to her knowledge of fashion trends; the season’s newest colours, her love of shopping and having her nails painted. Rosalie taught Alec about cars and he was amazed by her knowledge and love of them.

The first term of school went by rather quickly; Alec and Ness joined the chess team and Alec is elected the team captain. They both scored top marks in their ‘team project’ for history; Alec having been around during that time gave them an advantage.

They went to a school field trip to the Seattle Museum; something Alec and Ness found interesting and amusing “Hey, I’ve just realised something” Ness said low to Alec; who raised an eyebrow at her “You’re probably older than some of the exhibits Alec” Ness whispered “Are you saying I’m old?” “No not at all Alec…I’m saying you’re ancient” Ness said laughing “You say ancient, I say experienced, young one” Alec replied smiling “Young one? – Ha. You’re funny Alec” Ness responded.

A few days later Jake arrived at the Cullen house whilst everyone was out except for Alec and Ness “Ness! Ness! Where are you?” Jake yelled as he made his way through the house; Ness purposely ignoring him “So Alec, I’m struggling with question four, can you please explain it?” Ness asked as she and Alec were doing their homework together. “Of course. So…” “What the hell Ness? Did you not hear me call you?” Jake cut off Alec “And why are you here with him?” “I did hear you call and I chose to ignore you and what does it look like I’m doing?” Ness replied “Don’t take that tone with me!” Jake growled out “You should be at home not here” “You don’t own me Jacob and I don’t have to answer to you” Ness replied “That is where you are wrong! You belong to ME” He growled getting closer to her “And I forbid you to spend time with him outside of school. Is that clear?!” Ness didn’t answer “IS THAT CLEAR?!” He growled louder, mere inches from Ness when black mist swirled around him removing all of his senses but one – hearing “Listen to me Jake. Ness doesn’t belong to you, she doesn’t belong to anyone. Ness can do what she wants, when she wants and with whomever she wants. If you ever speak to her that way again I will RIP you to pieces and burn them. Is that understood…DOG?!” Alec got louder as he spoke. “Ness doesn’t want you. You should leave…NOW!” Alec added calmly but authoratively and returned Jake’s senses; Jake was preparing to lunge at Ness but Alec was quicker he pushed Ness out of the way and threw Jake across the room. Jake crashed through the glass balcony doors and landed in a heap outside, right at Emmett’s feet. “I think that means you’re not welcome here Jake” Emmett smirks as he steps over him making his way inside. Carlisle and Esme flash to Alec’s room to find Ness crying and being in Alec’s arms “You’re ok…I’ve got you. You’re safe…I promise” Alec whispered and tightened his hold on her. Carlisle and Esme took a seat on the bed and Alec filled them on Jake’s visit and apologised for the damage to the doors.

The High School decided to throw a ‘Winter Masquerade Ball’ with the emphasis on being the ‘mystery behind the mask.’ As ball got nearer, Alec and Ness went shopping for their outfits and masks. Ness picked a deep purple sleeveless floor length dress, a purple and black mask, and a pair of black shoes. Alec chose a dark grey suit with a deep purple shirt, a light grey tie and black shoes. His mask was black and grey. “I’m really excited, I’ve never been to a ball before” Ness said grinning ear to ear “I must admit it has been a long time since I attended a ball. The masters used to hold them regularly at the castle, but there hasn’t been one in quite some time” He told her.

Y/N attends the ‘Winter Masquerade Ball’ at the High School and Alec noticed her the moment she entered the school hall dressed in a pink sleeveless prom dress with white flowers scattered over the dress with a pink and silver mask. “Sorry Alec, am I keeping you from something or someone?” Renesmee asked with a smile when she noticed him look over shoulder towards the door “No…I…Er…What was you saying?” Alec responded “I was just asking if you think you’ll dance with anyone here tonight?” Renesmee replied “Well…erm…a girl in a pink dress just came in on her own, so I could ask her…but what about you?” “Go ask her to dance, I’ll be ok. I can ask Matt from English class” Ness replied “Thank you Ness. How will you which one is Matt, the whole point of tonight is the ‘mystery behind the mask’?” Alec asked curious “I heard Matt tell Lee what colour mask he’ll be wearing” Ness replied.

Alec approached the girl in the pink dress “Would you like to dance?” He smiled and held his hand out to her. “That’d be nice thank you” Y/N placed her hand in his and he led them to the dance floor.

They danced and spoke to one another throughout the night; never exchanging names. Alec found himself becoming intrigued by her; the way she moved elegantly around the dance floor with him, the warmth he felt holding her in his arms during the slow songs, her voice was soft and her laugh was quickly becoming his new favourite sound. “Would you like a drink?” He asked her “Yes, please a drink sounds good” She replied “Wait here. I’ll be right back” Alec made his way to the drinks table and got the girl a drink, making himself one too. He turned and started to make his way back to her when he saw her look at the clock and then turn and run from the room. Alec set the drinks down on a table of full of teenagers and followed her out; being careful to run at a human speed. He couldn’t see her; she had disappeared before he was able to say goodnight, before he could get her name or number, something he was going to do at the end of the Ball. He tried to pick up her scent, follow her to ensure she got home safe but that’s when he realised that he hadn’t recognised her scent whilst dancing with her, so that meant they didn’t have any classes together. ‘wait she had no scent, not one I can remember anyway’ he thought to himself. He felt frustrated as he had never felt so at peace around a human before and now he’s lost her; the only reminder that she was real, the only clue he had to try and find her was a silver shoe she left behind as she ran off into the night.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Landry should have been the one to join the diagnostics team

Long post incoming.

Remember when @playchoices made stories that actually told a story? When there was a slow build-up over the course of several chapters, drawing us in? Remember when everything happened for a reason? Remember when stories actually had a satisfying conclusion (because I don’t actually remember the last time Choices gave a book a satisfying conclusion)?

Landry joining the team would mean the drama would relate to MC and co, centring them to the story, possibly coming full circle to book 1. MC has spent this whole book like Jiminy Cricket: the conscience in someone else’s story.

Having just finished the penultimate chapter of what is likely to be the last book in the Open Heart series...all I feel is emptiness and I think it might be largely because I didn’t care about what was going on.

At the beginning of book 3 (I thought it was a strong opening chapter, but it was all downhill from there) there were a lot of points about things not being what they seem: Bloom’s unsettling attitude, all the shiny new upgrades, Binx, illusion cakes, cutting corners in research to get to the results quicker. I thought this could lead to something dramatic happening in the hospital: a collapse due to shoddy building work, or a fault in the electrics causing a fire (think the subway crash from book 1 chapter 14; dramatic but grounded). MC gets hurt and their LI goes crazy worrying about them and takes care of them for a couple of chapters (maybe the LI gets hurt as well, but I can’t stand the idea of Rafael going through the ringer for a third time) and then this leads to a court case against Bloom, he’s declared unsuitable to run a hospital or something and has to leave but court rules he has to keep funding Edenbrook or something, and then life can finally go on as normal.

Instead, we got a lot of plotlines that ended up dropping off to nothing, and a court case that appeared out of nowhere two chapters ago. Wow, PB, considering how much you’re worrying about funding, you’ve sure wasted a lot of filler on this book. You ruined Ethan for me as an LI by forcing him down my throat in book 2, and now you’ve ruined him as my MC’s mentor with book 3. And then I had to care about this court case that happened ten years prior to the start of the book? No! I still feel like I’m waiting for the main plot to get going and the book has reached it’s end!

I don’t have high hopes for chapter 16. I don’t think I even have hopes.

Why were you so weird about locking down our LI, given that one of the MAJOR complaints throughout 2 and 3 has been the distribution of screen time? And even when we had the chance to spend time with our LI you glossed right over it: my MC and Raf were about to get it on at the end of the last chapter and they forgot about that in favour of researching Ethan’s case. Would it have killed you to put a scene in before that? Heck, you could have ended the scene with MC looking for comfort, cue a diamond scene with the LI OF OUR CHOICE.

Why did you gloss over Bryce and Jackie’s storylines? Bryce’s family could have been handled better in book 2, and book 3 we see Keiki and his mom for one chapter and Bryce is forced to forgive and that’s that. Alternatively he gets too cocky in surgery, makes a mistake, accepts the mistake and moves on. Jackie had moments in book 2 that make me think she has self-esteem issues: “Go easy on yourself, OK?” “I’ll try” and everything about her chapter 12 diamond scene, but they were never brought up. Book 3 has her thriving as chief resident but one chapter she’s ignoring Jade’s strengths and in the next she realises she’s wrong and that’s all wrapped up. Storylines are usually a little longer than two chapters.

I’d ask why you glossed over Rafael but I already know he was supposed to be dead and a lot of his scenes were just there to keep us from complaining again. I see you @playchoices

Why did you try and set up this jealousy/insecurity plot with Harper and Ethan when that was going to go nowhere except for villainising Harper?

Why was there no PTSD from last year?!?!?!

Speaking of last year, all that drama with Esme boiling down to a scene where she either says hi or gives you the cold shoulder. Somehow I knew that would happen. Her entire character deserved better.

Caroline? I feel like her illness might have been part of the rewrites resulting in a few hastily added lines to remind us that she’s allergic to Bloom.

And the book 1 hearing didn’t have an effect on anything, not even someone being slightly suspicious of MC, and as far as we know Landry got away with all the shit he did. In hindsight, I shouldn’t be surprised that nothing else had consequences.

On the lighter side, the best parts of chapter 15 were Rafael reminding MC of how much he cares, and the chinchilla sensing when MC was upset and nuzzling their cheek. I would die for Spooky.

But I’m tired. I’m so very tired. I can’t even gather up enthusiasm for LoA or AVSP. I don’t want to spend diamonds on them, because LoA might not go anywhere, and AVSP is a one-shot. You have recently developed a pattern of badly-written, disappointing books, and now you’ve destroyed what could have been your crowning glory.

Damn, I thought I’d be angry writing this post but I don’t have the energy for that. Ah well, anything I forgot to say I can save for the finale I guess. In the meantime, I’m off to eat pizza, watch Friday Night Dinner, and write fanfiction to fill the gaping holes you have left in your story.

@playchoices I get that you can’t tell us everything. But you have GOT to do something soon or you will have no fan base left, and you’ll only have yourselves to blame.

Hello!:) Was just wondering if you could do a match up for me :) I was hoping it could be a Twilight one :D (if possible can you add gifs, how we met, and how our relationship is)

Some things about me~

I struggle with anxiety and depression quite bad, so many times I am kind of going through a battle in my head even if I look okay on the outside.

I am shorter and chunkier

I really love to cook and bake

I also love to be in nature ALOT and also adore water (sounds weird but I do lmao)

I identify as heterosexual

I also am an individual who age regresses at times to work through childhood trauma

I am a loner and I am super introverted

Once I'm comfortable though I am silly

I am super super loyal and I love to make people feel comfortable and at home

I LOVE TEA

My style is pretty gothic, sometimes pastel goth, or sometimes just straight up kawaii

I really like basic makeup

I also am a witch!

If you need to know anything else just message me :) tysm

Hello dear 💖 for this matchup I match you with:

Jasper Hale 🦇

And

Edward cullen🦇

- ok so both boys are attracted to you and both want you to be there mate. This would result in alot of fighting.

- jasper would know how to deal with your terrible days he can change your emotion. He would probably try to let you talk so he isn't manipulating you.

- ahhh your his short little wifey I can imagine you two just baking it would be adorable.

- your the type of woman Esme would accept your so warm and talented.

- Edward would probably teach you to play piano.

- you met through Bella when she was in school you took a liking to Edward.

- jasper met you through Edward even being the most beautiful person made his heart melt.

- your relationship with jasper is quite strong despite Edwards feelings.

- Edward would have the same amount as jasper. Your the one homey wifey that they would love.

- you have secret abilities due to your witchy side. You can do little enchantments to make them heal or even little jokes.

- your style is what they love about you.

- your first kiss with Edward would be very smooth and somewhere in a forest.

- jasper would have his first kiss with you in the house.

- you would have to choose wisely if you want to be a vampire or human.

- if you marry Edward he would protect you and even try to have a child with you. You would marry at the house and even have a half breed child. They have his hair and his eyes they have the ability to heal.

- if you marry jasper you would get married at the house but your child would be a halfbreed with his hair and your eyes. They have the ability to control water.

Anyways dear that's all I have for now:

Ta Ta 💫

Yay! Finally someone who will! I've been thinking a lot of this weird AU where theyre at the X school, tell me what you think! Prompt: Starting at the end of the movie, the gang finds themselves at the school for mutants. Sam & reader (name doesnt matter!) have a hard time fitting in/adjusting at the school and find themselves getting closer and closer, until they finally become an item!

Sam x reader

Your very nervous,

it’s the only think you can really think of.

Panic isnt right for the scenario.

And fear sounds to dramatic.

But your very nervous of this new Mutant school.

And that sounds correct.

Sam stands besides you, holding your hand in support.

You blush and look away. He doesn’t know you like him.

Shame.

Shame on you.

You want to feel excited that he’s holding your hand. It feels warm against your sweaty palm.

But you’ve seen him with Illyana. And are convinced he likes her.

“Hey Luke!” Roberto calls out.

You look over.

“That one metal guy asked for our last names. What’s yours?”

Truth be told, you’ve never told them your last name. You never wanted to. It was best to remain inconspicuous. Tell the least amount of information.

It was best.

“O is fine Berto.” You speak in your Yorkshire accent.

“Luke. O,” Illy states drily, “Wow I feel like I know you so much now.”

“Illy,” Sam mutters protectively. Him and Dani are the only ones brave enough to really say anything to her.

The Russian just rolls her eyes in response. Dani leans in, whispering something no one can hear.

Illy nods. But does nothing else.

“Shall we go’n now?” You ask.

Everyone nods but illy. Who instead pulls out Lockheed. Holding him close.

You think you understand. Lockheed was her comfort, her security. Something you wish you had right now.

Everyone walks in. But no one is at ease. The place is large. Filled with people bustling around. A guy with green skin nearly bumps into you, but Sam pulls you out of the way in time.

“Thanks,” you blush, “Uh, thanks.”

“Course.” He nods.

This blonde woman walks over. Briefly glowing blue. She blinks a few times and they dim to normal.

“Hello,” she introduces, “I’m Esme. Some call me Cuckoo, others stepford. But you can call me Frost.”

The others look at her apprehensively.

The blonde shrugs, “Esmes cool too.”

Her eyes glow once again.

“Ugh, be quiet!” She snaps.

You flinch backwards, and Esme offers a apologetic smile.

“Sorry,” she reaches up a pale finger, tapping it once against her mind, “Sisters.”

The woman doesn’t offer any more words then that. So you nod uneasily.

She starts to walk forward, and everyone looks at each other before following.

“We have a lot of cool things here,” the mutant starts talking, “Thermal rooms for Berto to flame in. Chains and gear outside for Sam. Courses for Rahne to run, and even something for Dani!”

Esme abruptly stops. You nearly crash into her if it wasn’t for Sam.

“How do you know who’s who?” Dani questions nervously.

She turns around, staring at everyone with intently piercing eyes.

“I know things. Now,” she swivels her head to glance at you and Illyana, “Your thoughts are unexplainable. I should say unhelpful. You, Luke, are thinking to hard.”

You blush. But you don’t know why.

The eyes trail to stare at Illy.

“And your having a conversation with no one?”

The Russian glares.

“Not true. I’m having one with Lockheed!”

Esme looks confused, “Where is he.”

Illy blushes, but holds up the puppet for her to observe.

You notice Dani grabbing her free hand. Rubbing her thumb over her knuckles soothingly.

Esme blinks, and then they glow again.

“Ah. He’s your friend. Back in limbo.”

Illy jerks, “How do you know that.”

The woman smiles, “All in a telepaths work.”

Everyone takes a subtle step back. So that’s why she walked in front of them. So they couldn’t see her eyes.

You immediately try and think of nothing, but somehow think of Sam instead. Esme looks at you with curiosity, but thankfully says nothing.

Her eyes glow again, momentarily making her face blank and stony.

“Oh.”

She looks embarrassed almost, “Um. I just received word that you aren’t needed at the main office yet. Your free to explore. Just don’t break anything.”

You look at her, trying to find an earpiece of some kind. She notices you and raises her eyebrow defensively.

Esme then turns around and leaves, whispering “Sophie! Phoebe! Shut up!” On her way out.

“Uh,” you turn back to your group, only to find them all gone except Sam, “Thanks for staying.”

He nods, “I wouldn’t leave you.”

You blush again. And look away.

The day goes on. As you and Sam struggle to find something that works for you. Roberto was psyched at being given clothes that don’t burn when he flames up. Rahne loved the obstacle course. And Dani was interested in practicing her powers.

Illy hadn’t said anything. Just gnawed on her thumbnail and talked to Lockheed.

You and Sam had tried to find the chain thing outside. But their was too many people. And it made Sam feel claustrophobic.

“I feel like we don’t belong here.” You confess later on.

He looks at you understandingly, “I get what you mean. Though I don’t think Illy likes it either.”

You roll your eyes, “She doesn’t like anything.”

“Hey,” he snaps quietly, “She has reasons not to like things.”

You nod, “Sorry. I forget.”

He looks at you. His kind eyes making you blush.

“Why do you do that?”

“H-huh?”

“Why do you blush around me.” He wonders.

“I-um,” you falter, “I k-Kinda like you.”

He doesn’t respond and you immediately get up to leave.

“Wait!” He grabs your wrist, spinning you around.

You don’t have time to process anything before he kisses you, his lips surprisingly soft.

“I like you to O.”

You smile.

Maybe this place was ok after all.

hey!!! I hope you liked this! Tried to incorporate everything you wanted! 🥰

Author Notes: So another chapter down. Just another chapter where we start to move the relationship between Bunny and Jack along. I’ve been playing a lot of Stardew Valley lately and I’m totally feeling the whole community thing. Expect this more and more in later chapters. Enjoy!

Gif Credit: Google

It’s been a week since Jack has been back from his work trip and it had taken that long for him and Esme to get back into the routine that they had together when he was home. It was weird for Jack to have to readjust himself to his routine with Esme after only a week away from her but he rolled with it and went along as much as possible. He found oddly enough that while he had been away Esme had picked up a few quirks from Bunny.

The most prominent one was that she wanted movie nights more often with him and then to discuss the movie right after finishing it. Jack loved that she was more into spending time with him and he kept reminding himself to thank Bunny for getting Esme into it more. As of right now the credits were rolling for The Swan Princess a movie that Esme had picked out for them to watch and Jack was comfortably relaxed into the couch with Esme curled up against his side.

“So what did you think of that one?” he asked fondly as he looked down at Esme. She turned and looked up at him with a soft sparkle in her eye.

“I liked it. Odette’s a different sort of princess. She was more wanting a connection with Prince Derek before she married him and he just saw her looks at first.” Esme said perceptively and Jack nodded along to her words. “But in the end he developed that connection with her that she wanted. I think the connection and friendship was there after they grew up together but he was just being a dumb boy.” Esme said and Jack was shocked that she sounded so much older than her ten years.

“Yeah boys can be dumb when they’re young, especially when they become teenagers. They’re just figuring out about girls and puberty.” Jack agreed along with her and she tilted her head at him for a moment.

“What’s puberty?” she asked curiously and Jack felt an instant sense of dread overcome his whole body. Esme probably had a few years until she went through puberty herself so Jack figured that he still had time before he had to worry about having that type of talk with her.

“Uh, well it’s-“ he began to explain and felt his throat starting to swell and close up on him and the words just seemed to die in his throat. He wasn’t ready for this talk with her about explaining how her body was going to change as she went through puberty and he knew she would have so many questions about what that meant and why it happened. “Let’s save that talk for another day how does that sound?” he asked quickly and Esme shrugged her shoulders and turned to reach for the remote that was on the coffee table.

“Ok Daddy.” She said easily as she turned the television off. Jack watched as she stretched wide reaching her arms up above her head and then moved them to either side of her body. She then stood up from the couch and Jack just watched in silence, she had grown up so much during the week that he was gone. And being around another woman for a full week had seemed to make her more secure in herself, there was just an air of confidence around her that wasn’t there before and Jack felt like he had missed where his little girl had started growing up. “Oh! Tomorrow do you think we can go food shopping after Dog Yoga? I want to make a homemade pizzas with you for dinner.” Esme asked excitedly as she turned to look down at him from her spot in front of the couch.

“Yeah I don’t see why not. While you’re at yoga I’ll be able to get the house together and then when you come back we’ll go food shopping.” He said nodding his head. Esme squealed happily and launched herself at him hugging him tightly making him groan softly at her collision.

“Thanks Daddy! I’m gonna get my pjs on.” She said and ran for her room. Jack laughed softly and stood from the couch tiredly. He moved the pillows all back into their rightful place on the couch before standing and stretching out his back groaning loudly and deeply as he heard the pops and cracks of his joints.

Just then movement outside his front windows caught his attention and he turned to see Cynthia and Dianne walking down the sidewalk talking animatedly. Sighing deeply Jack moved to the end table where one of his large horseshoe lamps sat and he quickly turned the light off hoping that Cynthia wouldn’t be able to see him from the sidewalk. That woman had begun to become quite the thorn in his side. Any time that he would be out of the house either leaving for work or picking Esme up from the bus stop and Cynthia was around she was practically glued to his side trying to catch his attention. She had upped her flirting to not so subtle touching and it seemed that the hem lines on her skirts and dresses were inching higher and higher up her legs while the collars on her shirts were cutting lower and lower on her chest.

The other day Jack had been standing at the bus stop waiting for Esme’s bus to arrive when Cynthia and Diane had come walking down the sidewalk on one of their many afternoon walks. Diane had greeted him sweetly with a kind greeting and a small smile before Cynthia had almost plastered her front up against his side and arm trying to sultrily greet him. Jack had been so shocked at Cynthia’s bold move as her fingers tried to intertwine with his. He had violently pulled away from Cynthia when he felt her fingers graze his softly. She had looked taken aback for a moment and Jack had to grit his teeth to stop the disgusted words that were on the tip of his tongue ready to berate her for her bold move.

When he had taken two large steps back from her Cynthia seemed to have collected herself and tossed her hair over her shoulder before directing a sultry smile at him. Jack had still been gritting his teeth holding down the disgust and the sharp words he had ready for her. Never in his life had he met someone who was either too self-centered or too blinded to catch a hint. There had been plenty of people he had met who weren’t as sharp as him but with a little leading from him they normally got it, but this woman just wouldn’t stop and Jack was starting to think that she just out rightly chose not to understand that he wasn’t interested in her.

“So Jack, what do you say you and I go out for an early dinner? You drop the little one off with Bunny and we go have ourselves a lovely evening just the two of us.” Cynthia said flirtatiously as she fluttered her eyelashes at him as she leaned forward. Jack stared at Cynthia’s face as she smirked softly at him and winked at him, out of the corner of his eye he could see that the way she was leaning forward towards him was showcasing how low cut her top was. If he dared to actually look he was sure he’d be able to get a full view of her cleavage. But resolutely Jack kept his eyes on her face and saw the frustrated strain start to show at the corners of her eyes. This woman was trying so damn hard to get him alone.

“Cynthia aren’t you married?” Jack asked curiously as he crossed his arms across his chest. Diane gasped softly as her hand came up to cover her open mouth and her eyes widened perceptively as she heard his words. Cynthia darted her eyes angrily over to Diane and then simpered in front of Jack as she turned back to him. Jack knew he was being blunter than he had been normally but he was tired of being put in these situations where Cynthia constantly flirted with him when he had tried to show her he wasn’t interested. He figured maybe Cynthia wasn’t catching the signs he was giving off and he needed to be more firm with turning her down. And not only now with Diane here as a witness Cynthia wouldn’t be able to say that she didn’t know he wasn’t interested.

“Oh my husband doesn’t mind at all.” Cynthia said with a dismissive wave of her hand as she smiled at Jack, her eyes dragged up and down his body and Jack instantly felt like he needed a hot scalding shower. “He’s always away working and I just get so lonely without him home.” She lamented woefully and Jack tried not to roll his eyes.

“Well I’m sure Diane doesn’t mind keeping you company.” Jack said with a shrug of his shoulders. He was truly impressed at how many ways this woman could try and flirt with him but it was starting to annoy him that she wasn’t listening to him when he said no.

“No she doesn’t but sometimes I just need to spend some time with a man.” Cynthia insisted as she nodded her head eagerly. Jack’s eyes darted over to Diane and saw that the woman looked a little crestfallen at how easily Cynthia dismissed her company and presence and he started to grow irritated with Cynthia.

“Look Cynthia I’m going to frank with you.” Jack said frustrated as he waved his hand in the air with agitation pulling at his movements and muscles. “I’m not interested in spending anytime with you. You’ve proven to me that you don’t care about your marriage and keep flirting with me and trying to get me alone. I don’t appreciate it and I’m not interested in you.” He said with finality as he stared at her dismissively.

“Oh my this is a serious conversation to walk in on.” Came the soft shocked voice of Bunny from behind Jack, she was standing not far behind him holding onto Butter’s leash as the small dog growled softly and glared at Cynthia. Everyone turned to look at her and Butter, as Jack watched warily as Cynthia flushed bright red in the face at Bunny being witness to him telling her he’s not interested in her. “Hello Diane, how are you doing?” Bunny asked awkwardly in a soft voice as she turned to the woman who was still wide eyed with her hand covering her mouth. Butter still focused on Cynthia with a soft rumbling growl sounding from his chest every few minutes. Jack grinned softly at Bunny and she awkwardly shrugged her shoulders at him, he was silently amazed that she could come into a heated conversation and instantly settle it with her relaxed concern for someone.

“She’s fine, do you mind? I was talking to Jack.” Cynthia snipped out at Bunny as she was still red in the face from embarrassment and Butter barked sharply as he moved to stand protectively in front of Bunny. Cynthia’s eyes sparked angrily as she glared at Bunny heatedly and Bunny shrugged her shoulders.

“So then talk to him. I can still ask how Diane is doing while you’re talking.” Bunny reasoned with a hint of confusion in her voice as she looked at Cynthia bewildered. Cynthia huffed angrily at Bunny before clenching her fists at her sides and stomped her foot slightly into the sidewalk. Jack watched as Bunny turned to Diane completely ignoring Cynthia’s little display of tantrum. “I hope you’re doing well Diane. I heard from Jeremy that your company is taking on a lot more architectural projects in the area. That must be exciting.” Bunny said conversationally and Jack watched idly as Diane looked at her surprised before a brilliant smile slipped onto her face and she nodded her head at Bunny.

“It is exciting though a little overwhelming I have to say.” Diane began to explain and Bunny nodded along to her words as she smiled at Diane.

“Honestly Diane! No one cares about your new workload!” snapped Cynthia and Diane instantly stopped talking as Bunny looked at Cynthia with a furrowed brow and a disapproving gaze. Jack watched as Bunny rested a hand on Diane’s forearm for a second and moved a little closer to her.

“I’d be more than happy to hear about it. Just let me know when you’re free and we can go grab a coffee.” Bunny said softly and smiled at Diane who looked like she had tears forming in her eyes. Cynthia suddenly stepped close to Bunny making Butter start to growl louder and Jack felt himself grow instantly alert, the way Cynthia was approaching Bunny seemed to aggressive and Jack wanted to be ready for anything in case Cynthia made a move to hurt Bunny.

“She doesn’t want to go for coffee with you.” Cynthia hissed angrily and Bunny looked at her shocked before taking a step away with her hands raised.

“The offer will always be there, just let me know.” Bunny said to Diane as she shrugged her shoulders and kept stepping back. “Alright we gotta get going on our walk. See you guys later!” Bunny said happily as she pulled gently on Butter’s leash and turned to Jack as she walked around him to continue on their walk. Jack felt a slight panic fill him as he felt Bunny move past behind him and he knew he didn’t want to be left with Cynthia.

“Hey Bunny wait up. Want some company on your walk?” Jack called out to her as she stepped away from the three of them. She turned and looked back at him smiling brightly.

“Only if Es is coming too.” She compromised and Jack chuckled softly at her.

“Oh only interested in spending time with Es huh?” he asked as he began to step towards her and away from Cynthia and Diane. He felt slightly guilty for leaving Diane with an angry Cynthia but being around Cynthia was never something that he was comfortable with and he reasoned silently that Diane was her friend.

“Wait Jack!” cried out Cynthia and felt her hand brushing against his forearm, which he pulled away quickly.

“Sorry Cynthia I have to pick up my daughter and then we’re going for a walk with Bunny and Butter.” He said over his shoulder not bothering to look at her as he continued to follow Bunny.

The loud screeching of the school bus breaks rang through the air and Jack felt the panic and dread instantly fall away from him as he saw the bus stop and Esme bounced down the steps with a happy bright smile on her face.

“Bunny!” cried Esme ecstatically as she raced over to the woman almost tackled her to the ground with Butter dancing around them happily and barking loudly. Jack forgot completely about Cynthia as he watched Esme embrace Bunny and wrap her small arms around Bunny’s hips as she hid her face in Bunny’s stomach. The utter happiness on his little girl’s face was just breathtaking as he watched the two of them laugh and greet each other like it had been years since they saw each other.

“Well would you look at this pretty bow you have in your hair! Where on earth did you get that?” Bunny asked exaggeratedly and Esme giggled at her as she looked up at her resting her chin on her stomach.

“From you silly. You made it for me. Remember?” Esme replied back grinning and Bunny pretended to think about what Esme said as she tapped a finger to her chin and looked up towards the sky. “Bunny!” cried Esme grinning widely up at her.

“Alright, alright, I remember. I’m glad you enjoy them and your Dad knows how to put them in your hair.” Bunny said teasingly as she grinned over at Jack who rolled his eyes at her teasing.

Jack was brought back to the present as he saw Cynthia stop in front of his house and hold gently to the top of his white fence using it to stretch. He watched silently as she first leant forward with her head pointed down to the ground and then arched her back out pressing her chest outward. Jack rolled his eyes as he noticed how tight her evening workout clothes were across her chest and he sighed before closing the blinds and turning away from the front window.

He wondered when Cynthia would stop trying to catch his eye with her tight short clothes or her overtly flirting. He wondered if it’d come down to her losing interest because he wasn’t taking to her flirting or if it be because of something completely different. Sighing softly Jack shook his head and turned away from the window and walked back to Esme’s bedroom.

*-*-*-*

The next morning after breakfast Jack was finishing up the dishes and setting them in the drying rack when the doorbell rang loudly through the house. Jack smiled softly as he heard Esme’s pounding steps go from her bedroom to the front door. He heard her stop at the door and grunted softly as she peered around the front window to double check who was at the door. When she saw it was Bunny she let out a loud squeal before opening the door quickly and flying out of it to tackle hug Bunny.

“Bunny!” Esme cried happily and Butter began to bark loudly as he danced around Bunny and Esme in pure joy.

“Good morning Es.” Bunny said brightly as she laughed softly from her spot holding onto Esme and Butter. Jack walked out of the kitchen and met the trio in his front doorway holding the door open for them. “Good morning Jack.” Bunny said kindly as she looked up at him with a soft warm smile on her face. Jack stood there silently in awe at the picture of a happy Bunny and Esme clinging to each other in greeting as Butter danced around them on his toes. It looked so domestic as if Esme was greeting Bunny after a long period of time away from each other, it made Jack’s heart thud heavily in his chest as he watched with perceptive eyes. “Are you ready to go? I told Mercy that we’d get there a little earlier and help her set up the table and brochures she ordered from me for her new yoga studio that she’s opening in a week. She wants to keep it up for when we have the community get together later this afternoon.” Bunny said grinning down at the little girl.

Jack watched as Esme nodded her head eagerly and rushed into her bedroom to grab her backpack. Bunny had generously bought Esme a yoga mat and a personalized sparkly water bottle a week or two ago once Esme had shown her that she was interested in continuing to attend the yoga classes.

Jack was grateful for Bunny sticking with Esme in her new workout routine and stepping up to make sure that Esme stuck with it. She had even gone to the tai chi studio with Jack and Esme the first time. Jack, after looking over Bunny’s brochures she had acquired for him, had talked to Esme about signing her up for the class. She had shown interest and had asked if Bunny would joining her and while Bunny hadn’t been able to commit to the class Jack had found after rearranging his schedule with work he was able to join her. Esme had been excited to do a class with Jack and Bunny had shown up for the first half of the class in support.

He remembered the way Bunny’s eyes had lit up as she saw the two of them dressed in their brand new uniforms. She had snapped a few pictures of them together before class and then a few action shots of them during class as well as some pictures of him and Esme with Sensei Liu which she happily sent to him with the caption Badass Tai Chi Duo.

Looking back at Bunny as she stood in the doorway holding Butter’s leash dressed in skin tight black and teal yoga pants and a loose fitting teal racerback tank top with a pair of gray and black sneakers on her feet, he smiled softly down at her. She was such a bright spot in their lives now, always willing to help when it was needed, always looking out for them, and it didn’t hurt that she was such a pretty woman who’s personality enhanced her beauty even more so. Jack stood there watching her silently as a heat began to grow in the pit of his stomach, he felt an itch under his skin to be closer to her, to touch her and when he leaned forward Bunny looked up at him suddenly with curiosity in her eyes.

Her eyes widened almost comically as she saw how close he had gotten to her and Jack watched delighted as a blush rushed across her face. He saw her hands grip onto each other and begin to twist her fingers together, it was her nervous tell when she was around him he had found out. Oddly enough Jack hoped she never got rid of that tell around him, he loved watching her become a little nervous around him it made more at ease that he affected her like she affected him.

Bunny suddenly took a step back and Butter yipped as her sneaker caught one of his little feet under it and she began to fall backwards. Jack reached out and effortlessly wrapped his arms around her waist catching her before she could fall and hurt herself. Bunny was breathing heavily as she stared up at him in surprise.

“You okay?” he asked as his eyes danced around her face. Bunny’s hands were gripping Jack’s bent elbows in her palms and Jack felt as electricity ran from the top of his head down to his toes at the soft silky feeling of her skin against his. He looked into her eyes trying to figure out if she felt the same thing as him, but her eyes were darting around his face in curiosity and confusion not allowing him to get a read on her.

“Yeah, yeah I’m ok. Sorry.” Bunny said softly as she stared up into his eyes taking in soft gasping breaths.

“Not your fault, I got too close.” He reassured her as he still held her still in the same position. Jack was aware of how large his hands were spread along her lower back supporting her in his grip, his fingers intertwined at the middle of her spine on her lower back and his palms held most of her back. The weight of her was easy for him to hold up and support and Jack felt the urge to pull her closer to himself just to feel her body pressed against his own. But he stopped himself when he heard Esme’s pounding footsteps from behind him. Slowly raising Bunny til she was on her feet Esme stopped short next to Jack and looked at the two of them with a shrewd look in her eyes.

“What happened?” she asked curiously as she stood next to Jack and Bunny looking from one to the other.

“Nothing, I just tripped on Butter and your Dad caught me.” Bunny said easily as she pulled her hands away from Jack’s elbows. Jack had to bite his tongue to stop the soft groan from falling from his mouth as he felt her skin drag slowly against his skin igniting that fire in the pit of his stomach. Jack breathed through his nose and sucked in a deep breath causing Bunny to look up at him. He shook his head slightly and she looked down at the ground silently almost ashamed. Jack wanted to wrap his arms around her waist and drag her up against his own body just to see if she melted against him like he thought she would.

“Oh ok. Can we go now?” Esme replied eagerly as she danced in place impatiently. Bunny nodded as she smiled brightly down at Esme.

“Of course let’s get going.” Bunny answered easily and Jack watched as she stepped back further from him taking the delicious heat she stirred up in him with her. Jack’s hand twitched at his side in his desire to pull her back into his arms. He wondered silently what she would do if he pulled her back and kissed her softly. Would she melt against him in want and desire or would she push away from him in confusion or embarrassment? Jack stood there watching as the little trio began walking out of the house and towards the main field area in the community. Just as Jack was closing the door Bunny turned her head to look back at him and he smirked softly at being able to catch her looking back at him.

Shutting the door he stood there with his back to it as he fist pumped the air at finding out that Bunny is just as affected by him as he is by her. It had been a long time since he’d ever felt like this about another woman, and while Maria would always be his first love Jack was starting to feel comfortable in the fact that maybe his heart was big enough for another.

*-*-*-*

Jack walked slowly down the aisle pushing the shopping cart as Esme flitted from side of the grocery aisle to the next picking up things that she’d like during the week to eat as well as some extra things for the community get together today. Looking down at his watch Jack figured they had about another half hour to shop for groceries before they had to leave to be able to make it to the get together on time.

“Hey Daddy, Dad, Daaaaaad!” Esme drawled out trying to get his attention until Jack looked up from his watch.

“Yeah peanut?” he asked as he tilted his head up to look at Esme, movement behind her caught his eye and Jack nearly groaned out loud when he spotted Cynthia and Diane walking together as Diane pushed a shopping cart in front of her. His eyes darted around the aisle trying to find a way out of this dreaded situation but could find no way out.

Cynthia had suddenly spotted him and Jack watched as her bored expression she wore while Diane talked about something instantly lit up with joy. She raised her hand and grandiosely waved at him.

“Oh Jack!” she called out in a high pitched tone that just grated on Jack’s ears. Curiously though Jack watched as Diane looked up at him after she had lost Cynthia’s attention and seemed to deflate a little bit. Jack wondered what that was about but quickly let that thought go as Esme and Cynthia began demanding his attention.

“Daddy, which one do you think would be better to get for the party? Bunny likes these ones but Jeremy said Bunny has weird tastes.” Esme explained as she held up two different bags of chips. Jack looked over the bags in her hands, one was salt and vinegar while the other was sour cream and onion.

“Get one of each that Bunny can have the flavor she likes and the others can have the other flavor. There’s gonna be more people bringing chips to the party too so don’t worry too much about it peanut.” Jack said easily and Esme nodded as she put the bags in the shopping cart.

“Hiya Jack!” said Cynthia brightly and Jack looked up to see that she and Diane had come to a stop right next to their cart. Jack nodded to her pleasantly and then nodded at Diane as well who smiled softly at him in greeting.

“Hello Cynthia, hello Diane. How are you two?” Jack asked kindly, he didn’t want to stay long to chit chat with them not wanting to be in Cynthia’s presence for very long.

“Doing well-“ Diane began to respond and Cynthia quickly interrupted her.

“We’re doing just fine now that we’ve bumped into you.” Cynthia said sultrily and Jack felt his ire grow as his eyes darted over to see Esme looking up at Cynthia weirdly. Jack wasn’t too keen to openly outright flirt with women in front of Esme, that’s why Cynthia was blunt with her flirting he didn’t appreciate her doing it right in front of Esme. He grinned at his little girl as he saw her eyes squinted and her nose scrunched up on her face in disgust and confusion.

Cynthia moved from Diane’s side to step closer to Jack and Jack leaned back away from her as he got a huge whiff of her perfume. Jack cleared his throat as the sickly sweet perfume curled in his nose and he began to cough loudly. He held up his hand to Cynthia and stepped back to continue coughing as he covered his mouth.

“Daddy? Are you okay?” Esme asked concerned as she moved over to him and patted his back. Jack nodded as he finished coughing and hugged Esme to his side in gratitude.

“I’m fine peanut. It’s just too much perfume that’s all.” Jack replied. He could see Cynthia’s lips turn downward into a frown at his words before she sent him a smirk.

“Do you like it? It’s this French perfume that I found that’s supposed to be made from a very rare flower extract. I get it imported from Paris.” Cynthia informed him, Jack looked at her with a bewildered look at the notion that she would have an expensive perfume imported that didn’t even smell that great to begin with. To Jack that sounded like a waste of money, but then again Jack was more frugal with his money and saved most of it so that him and Esme could live peacefully for however long they wanted to.

“It’s very sweet. Not really my preference.” Jack said honestly as he nodded his head. “Well anyway ladies, we gotta get goin’ or we’re gonna be late for the get together.” Jack said as a way of easily extracting himself from his conversation.

“Oh! Well we’ll see you there!” Cynthia said happily as she clapped her hands.

“But Cynthia I thought you said you wouldn’t be caught dead at one of those things?” Diane asked surprised and Jack’s eyes darted over to the woman and saw her brows were furrowed over her eyes as she glared at Cynthia.

“Nonsense Diane, I never said that.” Cynthia said as she waved her hands around in the air. Her high pitched tone was drilling into Jack’s brain and he could feel a headache coming on.

“C’mon peanut, let’s get goin’.” Jack nudged Esme and he began pushing the cart away from Cynthia. But just as he was passing her Cynthia’s hand reached out and gently grazed against his forearm. Jack looked down and watched Cynthia’s long red nails dragged across his forearm where his plaid shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbow. He watched as they created bright red scratches on his skin and he realized that he didn’t feel anything when she touched him. Relief rushed over Jack and he grinned over at Esme as he pulled away from Cynthia without a look back at her.

“Have a good day Diane.” He said kindly to the woman as he passed her while pushing his cart away. Before leaving Jack noticed that Diane had smiled and looked relieved that he had said goodbye to her.

“Bye Jack! See you at the get together!” called Cynthia and Jack simply ignored her as he continued walking down the aisle with Esme.

“Daddy, why is that lady always so close to you when we see her?” Esme asked pensively and Jack shook his head slightly.

“I don’t know peanut. She just likes standing really close to me.” He said tiredly before directing her over to the produce section to pick up their weekly veggies and fruits.

*-*-*-*

The sun was beating down on the large main field as Jack walked along the sidewalk, Esme skipped at his side while holding his free hand. Jack could hear the low chatter of those that already arrived begin to grow as the two of them neared the park.

Finally the two of them reached the park edge where the get together was meant to be and Jack’s eyes widened at the large group of people that had gathered. He spotted the Parker’s and Turnbill’s sitting together at a picnic table in the shade laden with food dishes. Henry Mills and Lyle Boggs were standing around one of two grills that were being used to grill hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken. There were two long foldable tables not far from the grills that had brightly colored table cloths on them and held multiple side dishes as well as multiple bottles of soda, iced tea, and different flavored lemonades.

“Hey Jack! Esme!” Called Henry as he waved at them smiling brightly. Jack waved as well with a smile on his face. He looked around to find Sarah and spotted her laughing at a separate table along with Bunny who was shaking her head as she laughed along with Sarah. There were already a few girls heading over from the soccer field area over to where Bunny and Sarah were.

“Daddy, can I go see Bunny?” Esme asked eagerly as she looked up at him. Jack nodded down at her and smiled as he watched her race off over to Bunny and Sarah who both greeted her with happy cheers and warm hugs. Bunny looked up after giving Esme a hug and waved over at Jack who easily returned her wave with a smile. He watched as she turned back to Esme and Sarah to begin setting up their picnic table for something.

Jack turned back to the grill and grinned at Henry and Lyle who happily welcomed him over to their area after he dropped off more chips and drinks at the right tables with Mrs. Rogers.

“How are you two? Long time no see Lyle.” Jack greeted the two men. Lyle nodded his head knowingly and grinned over at Jack.

“Yeah I’ve been on assignment for a few of the local newspapers. Their full time photographers have been caught on different projects and they needed help. So I’ve been away for a few weeks.” Lyle explained proudly. “My wife Heather has been watching over our son and daughter while I’ve been away.”

“That’s great!” Jack says happy for Lyle. “Is your wife here today?”

“No she went into the office for a few hours to catch up on some work that required her to be at the office. But she should be able to come stay for an hour or two afterwards.” He said easily. “The little ones are both over there by the playground with the other parents and kids.” Lyle said and Jack nodded along to his words before turning to look over at the playground.

There were quite a few kids here at the get together and luckily there were even more parents to keep a watchful eye on them as they played and ran around the park. Jack gazed around the playground looking to see if he could find Esme but didn’t see her playing with the other kids. He knew she would be able to go on the playground and still play but would be much slower than the others. But as he turned his head he heard her laughter ringing brightly through the air.

He looked over to where he heard her and smiled as he spotted her still hanging out with Sarah and Bunny. He watched silently as the three of them set out a purple table cloth on the picnic table they were at and began to lay out numerous bottles of nail polish. There was a small group of older girls hovering around them and he smiled watching as they all chatted and waited patiently for Bunny and Sarah to finish setting up. Bunny was dancing around the table exaggeratedly with Esme before she twirled Esme and grabbed another little girl’s hand and spun her into an over the top waltz. All the girls roared with laughter at Bunny’s antics making Sarah shake her head at Bunny and laugh along with all of them. Jack chuckled softly as he watched Bunny suddenly jumped into doing the robot dance as the girls all squealed and began doing the robot dance as well. He smiled as he saw Esme dancing along with a few girls that he didn’t recognize but they all looked like they were having a great time together.

“Jack, would you like some iced tea?” Called Mrs. Parker who stood over by the table with all the drinks lined up. Jack turned his head to look at the elderly woman and smiled kindly.

“I’d love some, but let me help you.” He responded as he moved over to her.

“You’re too kind.” Mrs. Parker said, smiling at him as he helped her pour out two cups of iced tea. “So how long has it been since you and Esme have moved in?” She asked conversationally.

“Almost two months now.” Jack said, nodding his head. “It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long and yet it feels like we’ve been a part of the community for years.” Mrs. Parker nodded her head in agreement and smiled warmly at his words.

“That’s the magic of this community. We take care of our own. We make sure everyone is doing alright. It’s just how our community works.” She said softly and Jack looked over at her fondly. “I’ve been growing some strawberries in our greenhouse. If you and Esme enjoy strawberry jam I’ll make you some.”

“That would be lovely. I always love a good jam.” Jack said gratefully for her offer. Mrs. Parker patted his forearm softly and smiled at him. Jack felt a pleasant warmth start to fill him at the kindness of his neighbor and he knew he was starting to grow very fond of them all. He didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing yet. He didn’t know if it was a luxury that he could afford especially with him having to make sure that Esme was protected. Would he be able to relax in a place such as this or would he always have to be on guard?

“Yoo-hoo!” Came a loud high pitched call and Jack felt as if a bucket of ice water doused him. His body tensed and he gritted his teeth in aggravation. “Helloooooo! Jack, over here!” Cried out Cynthia.

Jack shuddered in place and Mrs. Parker looked over at him with a sympathetic look on her face. Out of the corner of his eye Jack could see Cynthia trying to walk quickly towards him in her high heels that kept sinking into the grass. She had changed outfits since the grocery store and was now in a bright red flowy sundress that had a deep v-neck and the hem was just at her knees. Dianne was trying to keep up with her and was unfortunately falling behind Cynthia as she carried a large tray of food in her hands and had a few grocery bags hanging from her arms.

“Jack, why don’t you go over to Bunny’s little picnic table. Cynthia doesn’t like kids.” Mrs. Parker suggested softly and Jack whipped his head down to stare at Mrs. Parker in surprise. She winked at him wickedly and gestured her head over to where Bunny, Sarah and Esme were at the picnic table with all the other girls surrounding them.

Jack quickly made his way over to the picnic table as he heard Cynthia calling out for him. As he finally got close enough he could hear all the girls chattering over each other and giggling loudly. And right in the center of it all was Bunny, Sarah and Esme.

Bunny was laughing happily as she leaned over a little girl's nails diligently painting them a pretty pink color with stern concentration. Jack came to a stop behind a wall of girls who stood in front of the picnic table watching. Jack stood above them all and stared at the set up that Bunny and Sarah had going. The table was littered with bottles of different colored nail polish, nail stickers, and what looked like little tiny gemstones that he had no idea what they were used for. Sarah was sitting next to Bunny on the opposite side of the table painting another little girl’s nails a bunch of different colors on each nail. There was a boom box set down in the grass, at the base of the tree that the picnic table was under, playing a upbeat radio station softly so as not to be too loud for Bunny and Sarah to hear the girls.

Jack looked back at Bunny as she looked up from the nails she was painting and watched as a bright happy smile spread across her face. His eyes danced around her happy face as a smile spread across his face as well and then his eyes dipped down to her shirt. Jack immediately felt himself tense as he spotted the worn white shirt she was wearing, it was obviously chosen for that fact so that she wouldn’t mess up newer clothes of hers. But it wasn’t the actual shirt but what was written on the front of her shirt.

‘I heart cowboys’ stared at him from the middle of her shirt and Jack couldn’t help but find the irony in the phrase. He watched as Bunny stood from the picnic table and he had to hold in the groan that wanted to crawl up his throat and out of his mouth when he saw the rest of her outfit. Not only was she wearing a shirt that struck closer to home with him than she knew but she was also wearing a pair of denim shorts with bright embroiled sunflowers decorating them. The shorts were tastefully long enough to cover everything respectfully but they were tight enough against her skin that they made Jack’s mind race with thoughts of sliding them slowly down her hips and legs. The shirt she wore was overly large and the front of it was tucked into her shorts giving him a clear view of the prettily embroided sunflowers that adorned the shorts all over.

“Everything alright Jack?” Bunny asked kindly as she tilted her head at him for a moment. Jack’s eyes darted quickly up to her face and saw she was smiling at him with a look of confusion on her face.

“I need an escape.” Jack hissed out softly and Sarah looked up at him with a furrowed eyebrow at his words.

“Yoo-hoo! Jack!” Came Cynthia’s cry and both women looked over at the high heeled woman standing over at the food tables waving at them. Sarah burst out into surprised laughter and ducked her head trying to hide her reaction as Bunny pressed a hand to her mouth trying to hide her own laughter.

Bunny grinned at Jack after she was able to get a hold of her laughter. She gestured to the spot in front of her as the little girl she had just finished with was getting up eagerly before she ran off to go show her mom her newly painted nails.

“Have a seat.” Bunny offered and the girls that stood in front of Jack began giggling and whispering to each other before they parted for him. Esme was standing next to Bunny grinning from ear to ear as she clapped her hands together and jumped in place. “Are you alright with me painting your nails?” Bunny asked as she took her seat once more just across from Jack. He nodded his head distractedly as he looked back over to the grill area surreptitiously.

He easily spotted Cynthia with her arms folded over her chest as she pouted and complained to a tired looking Dianne. Dianne was busy setting out the dishes that she had brought for the get together and fluttering around the table and showing Mrs. Parker what she had made. Jack smiled softly when he saw Mrs. Parker place a tender hand on Dianne’s shoulder and squeeze slightly, he knew the older woman was thanking Dianne for cooking for them.

“So ladies should we let Jack here pick the color? Or should we put it to a vote?” Bunny asked the group of girls that were now surrounding the picnic table once more. Jack looked around the group with surprise as they all seemed to surge around him silently protecting him from Cynthia’s eyes. The girls all looked at each other with mischievous looks on their faces.

“Vote!” They all cheered and Jack whipped his head around to Bunny who was grinning happily at their excitement before turning to Esme. He watched as Esme squealed softly and pressed into Bunny’s side as the woman chuckled softly.

“Bunny, I think we should vote for the two top and let Esme pick out of those two.” Said a little girl who sat next to Jack on his right. He looked down at her smiling softly before looking over at Esme who nodded her head happily. Butter barked somewhere nearby and Sarah laughed happily.

“I think Butter agrees.” Sarah said happily and Bunny shook her head before looking over at Jack. Her eyes were sparkling at him in amusement but there was also an uncertainty in them.

“I’m game.” Jack said as he stared at Bunny, reassuring her silently. She nodded her head at him and began to pick out some colors for the girls to vote on. Sarah held up a pretty dark purple girl that most of the girls downvoted. Bunny held up a sky blue color and the girls all cheered for. Jack watched as they all narrowed down the colors to a bright fuschia and a bright neon orange color. Jack’s eyes widened slightly at the choice of colors before snapping his eyes to Esme who was grinning mischievously at him. “Es, think hard about this choice.” Jack began to tell her sternly and she grinned widely at him.

“Oi, you said you were game.” Bunny teased Jack and he looked over at her to see her smirking softly at him as Sarah nudged her side with her elbow. Sarah chuckled softly as she leaned over another little girl’s nails painting them a deep red color with little gold sparkles.

“She’s right Jack. No swaying Esme’s choice.” Sarah warned Jack and he huffed softly at her. Esme grinned at him as her little hand reached out and pointed to the fuschia color and Jack breathed a sigh of relief. He’d have an easier time hiding the fuschia color as opposed to the neon orange color on his nails. Bunny smirked softly at him and shook her head at him silently.

“Alright fuschia it is. Should we make his nails sparkle girls?” Bunny announced and asked the girls around her who all cheered loudly at the prospect of Jack getting sparkly nails. Bunny turned to Esme who was nodding her head. “Yeah Es? You’re the final say in all of this.”

“Yes, he needs sparkly nails.” Esme said happily as she clapped her hands. Jack watched as a little girl came over and hugged Esme tightly around the waist as they all cheered and began to dance around the table.

“Sparkly nails it is.” Bunny said smiling as she gathered the nail polish she would need to paint Jack’s nails.

After she got everything ready Bunny turned to Jack seriously and held her hands out to him palms up. Jack smiled at her as she grinned back at him before he placed one hand in hers. Jack felt electricity shoot up his hand from where they touched and he gasped softly as his eyes darted over to hers.

Bunny was staring down at their hands surprised with her lips parted and Jack could see that she was just as affected by his touch as he was by hers. When her eyes traveled up to his he could see that they were dilated and she was breathing heavily slightly. She shook her head before smiling softly at him and dragged over a clear bottle of nail polish and a weird stick over to her.

“So what’s that you’re going to put on my nails?” Jack asked curiously as he watched her hands pick up the weird stick.

“Well first I’m going to push back your cuticles and clean them up. Then I’ll massage in the cuticle oil. The clear nail polish is base coat so that the nail polish doesn’t stain your nails. We’ll probably do two coats of the fuschia and then one coat of gold sparkles before a top coat to seal it all together.” Bunny explained as she then began using the weird stick to push back and clean up his cuticles.

“Yeah and then Bunny’s got hand lotion that will make your skin nice and soft.” Esme said knowingly as she turned back to her new friend and began to giggle. Jack looked over at Bunny who nodded her head as she concentrated on Jack’s nails. Jack sat there listening to all the girls chattering around him before he felt Bunny’s hands moving his into position as she began to massage the cuticle oil into his skin. Jack focused on the feeling of Bunny’s fingers gently massaging the skin around his nails and could feel how soft her skin was against his.

“Do you use a lot of lotion?” Jack curiously as he looked up from Bunny’s hands to stare at her face. She smiled and nodded her head.

“Yeah I have dry skin, it runs in the family so lotion helps with that.” Bunny explained as she finished massaging his skin.

“So Jack, Henry said you’ve got a career in business. What kind of business?” Sarah asked kindly as she finished another set of nails for one of the girls. Bunny looked over at Sarah and smiled warmly before turning back to Jack and began painting his nails with the top coat.

“Oh security.” Jack said easily as he sat at the picnic table. A group of the girls had left after they had all gotten their nails painted and soon the group around him had dwindled down to only a few girls. Esme was now sitting next to both Sarah and Bunny and handing them the necessary bottles of polish which they would always thank her for. “I work in security, have my own branch that me and my business partner Tequila are in charge of.” Jack lied effortlessly and watched as Sarah nodded along to his words. Bunny had quietly looked up at him listening to him give out more information about himself. He could see a curious look in her eye as she sat there listening.

Jack felt slightly guilty lying to Sarah and Bunny but he knew that it was a necessity to keep himself and Esme safe. He couldn’t be too careful with who he shared their personal information with. He had to make sure that he and Esme were safe no matter what. Especially after what the two of them had gone through during and after Maria’s death. He could never put Esme through that ever again, which made his new developing feelings for Bunny so confusing and conflicting with his plan to always keep Esme away from that loss she went through.

Jack sat there silently thinking about what his feelings for Bunny could mean for him and Esme. Would he let Bunny in so soon after Maria’s death, was he truly ready for that? He had thought so when they were flirting in front of Mr. Quinten’s house but when he truly thought about the implications that could come from following his feelings he wasn’t so sure now. Staring down at the table Jack’s eyes caught sight of Bunny’s neatly manicured nails painted a subtle beige color with sparkling gold flecks.

Was he really ready for someone else in his life? In Esme’s life? Jack felt conflicted as he had thought he was ready and that his heart was ready to open up to someone else. But what if this relationship that he wanted with Bunny brought more strife to his and Esme’s world? Was he ready for that?

“Jack? Are you alright?” Bunny suddenly asked softly. Jack looked up and saw that he and Bunny were the only ones at the table now. Looking around in panic for Esme he saw that Sarah was helping her pick out a cheeseburger and sides to eat for lunch. He turned back to Bunny with a sigh of relief and nodded his head.

“Yeah, yeah I’m alright.” He said softly. Relieved that Esme was in safe hands.

“Are you sure? You kinda spaced out on me.” Bunny asked uncertainly as she gazed at him quietly. Jack looked at Bunny for a moment searching her eyes as she gazed at him with concern. All Jack could see in her eyes was concern and worry for him. He knew that while he was now having second guesses about developing something with Bunny she was someone he would want to have at his side. Someone as caring of not only him but of his little girl also. But there was still doubt in his mind as to if he was ready to let his heart open freely to her.

“Yeah I’m okay just thinking.” He answered her truthfully. Bunny turned his hand in hers and began to paint gold sparkles onto his fuschia colored nails.

“If you need to talk about anything I’m here.” Bunny said with a shrug and Jack smiled at her admiring how willing she was to helping him even if she had no idea that she was the one causing him the worry.

“Have you ever wanted something so badly but weren’t sure if you were ready for it? And kept having second guesses?” Jack asked softly. He watched as Bunny stared down at the picnic table silently for a long moment before looking up to him with knowledgeable eyes.

“Yes. Weigh the pros and cons of whatever it is that you want. If the pros outweigh the cons then go for it. It’s going to be more difficult for you since you also have to weigh the pros and cons for Esme too. But if whatever it is would better your and her life I would go for it.” Bunny said solemnly as she advised him. Jack nodded his head slightly at her words and knew that she was right in her advice. He would have to seriously consider if having Bunny in his life romantically and not just platonically would benefit both Esme and himself. And if he decided that she would be something that they couldn’t live without he would have to share with her everything about their lives.

Just then Bunny grinned proudly down at his nails and moved his hands so that he could see his nails. Jack looked down and laughed, shocked at how well his nails had come out. They were so pretty. He looked back up at Bunny and saw her waiting for his evaluation.

“They look great Bunny. Thank you.” He said happily and Bunny blushed softly at his praise. He cradles Bunny’s hand in between both of his and she smiles fondly at him with soft eyes gazing into his own from across the table. Jack feels his heart thud heavily in his chest as electricity once again rushed through his body as his hands slide against her soft one. He could see her alluring eyes gazing at him softly and her long eyelashes fluttered softly against the flushed skin of her cheeks.

“No problem Jack.” She says softly before nodding her head and ducking her head at his rapt attention.

As the two of them grew more flustered with each other they didn’t see Esme walking back over to the picnic table with Sarah. While they didn’t see their soon to be companions Esme watched the two of them with calculating eyes and her mind began to try to figure out what was going on with Bunny and her Dad.
