What Naps Are Like With Them (Everyone)

In celebration of my first post kinda blowing up, I wrote a little something for all the characters, including Luke! (platonically for him, of course)

Again, thank you guys for all the love on my Satan Reacting to Montero fic <3 I’ll be working on requests after this.

Also, no beta we die like Lilith.

»»————-　♔　————-««

Lucifer

➼ Never sleeps, e v e r

➼ His brothers would destroy the House of Lamentation in his sleep

➼Took a while to convince him to take a nap with you because of this

➼ His brothers listen to you more than they listen to their older brother, so you begged them to behave for a few hours so that their older brother can rest for once

➼ You will use your pact if you have to, just please let this man sleep

➼ You made sure to pick a day where you know Lucifer hadn’t slept the night before due to his workload

➼ Seriously, you had to talk to Diavolo about that

➼ You both got into your comfiest pajamas and played some soft classical music for ultimate relaxation

➼ You thought about taking a picture of hm while he slept

➼ He saw it coming and had you sleep facing away from him with his arms wrapped around you so you couldn’t turn around

➼ Smart bastard

➼ If you complain about it he’ll laugh at you

➼ Hey, at least you get cuddles

➼ Luci here looks so calm and peaceful while he sleeps, it’s adorable

➼ No wonder everyone tries to take a picture of him sleeping

➼ He’s a heavy sleeper, so you end up having to wake him up after a few hours

➼ He thanks you

➼ He’s well-rested and in a good mood for the rest of the day

➼ His brothers obviously take advantage of that

»»————-　♔　————-««

Mammon

➼ Unlike most of his brothers, he actually has a decent sleep schedule (most of the time)

➼ However, if you wanted to take a nap with him, he wouldn’t say no

➼ Well, he’d say no, but then say yes immediately after

➼ “Whaddya mean you wanna take a nap with me? Do I look like Belphie!?”

➼ Blushing like crazy while complaining, as usual

➼ “Fine, I’ll go nap with him, then.”

➼ “Oi! Come back here! I changed my mind, I wanna take a nap!”

➼ Tsundere baby

➼ Obviously, you tease him about it

➼ “Jealous, huh? I thought that was Levi’s thing.”

“Shut up! Are we gonna cuddle or not?”

“I said nap, not cuddle.”

➼ Cue the pout

➼ The definition of the 🥺 face

➼ Please love this child

➼ “I’m kidding, of course we’re gonna cuddle.”

➼ Usually a little spoon

➼ Unless he’s in a jealous mood

➼ If he is, he will hold on to you like his life depends on it.

➼ More teasing, obviously

➼ If you think about it, Greed and Envy are very similar

➼ Poor baby wants love

➼ New drinking game: take a shot every time I call Mammon a baby

➼ I shot of water, I know you’re dehydrated

➼ Anyways, naps with Mammon = cuddles

➼ Either you’re holding him to you or he’s holding you to him

➼ f o r e h e a d k i s s e s

➼ Mammon gets nightmares about what happened with Belphie sometimes, so lots of comfort cuddles

»»————-　♔　————-««

Leviathan

➼ “Levi, did you sleep at all last night?”

➼ Obviously not

➼ He was up all night binge watching the latest season of “The Magical Ruri Hanai: Demo Girl”’s spin-off series

➼ Why would you even ask?

➼ “Levi, did you stay up all night?”

➼ He looked away, a little embarrassed. “Uh, yeah.”

➼ “Levi, honey. You need to sleep. It’s not good for your health to be staying up so late.”

➼ Leviathan.exe has stopped working

➼ You’re worrying about him?????

➼ And you’re calling him honey?????

➼ Are you trying to kill him?????

➼ “You must be exhausted. Wanna take a nap?”

“Oh, uh. Yeah. I guess I could use a nap.”

“Alright. We should go to my room, since there’s more room on my bed than in your tub.”

➼ Wait you meant a nap together????

➼ You’re really trying to kill him.

➼ Usually, he’d make fun of you and call you a normie.

➼ But he was currently too busy dying.

➼ If somehow you managed to resurrect him and get him to your room to nap, then you’d know this shy boi is a little spoon.

➼ Does this really come as a surprise to anyone? It shouldn’t.

➼ He’s blushing like crazy the whole time.

➼ “Levi, if you can't sleep with me here, I can leave.”

“No!”

➼ He does sleep eventually.

➼ Sweet baby cuddles you in his sleep.

➼ Wholesome af

»»————-　♔　————-««

Satan

➼ As the most responsible one in the family, he has a pretty good sleep schedule, so he doesn’t normally take naps.

➼ However, if you ask him to, he’ll agree.

➼ If it makes you happy he’ll do it <3

➼ He’s not really touchy-feely and won’t initiate any cuddling.

➼ Dude that you asked to nap because you were tired and wanted to sleep.

➼ Nah bro, you just want cuddles.

➼ While he won’t initiate any cuddles, if you make it more obvious that you want some, he’ll give them to you.

➼ Big spoon

➼ If you want him to be the small spoon, he will, but he’ll be flustered af.

»»————-　♔　————-««

Asmodeus

➼ “Asmo, wanna sleep together?”

➼ Could you have made a poorer word choice?

➼ No, you could not.

➼ This boy literally made the lenny face.

➼ “Asmo, I meant a nap.”

“Well, I suppose that’ll satisfy me for now.”

➼ You then proceeded to smack him with a pillow.

“Hey! Don’t mess up my hair!”

➼ You had to wait for him to take off his makeup and change his clothes and stuff.

➼ It’s a process.

➼ Cuddle’s tf out of you.

➼ He’ll be the big spoon or the little spoon. It doesn’t matter to him, so you can decide.

»»————-　♔　————-««

Beelzebub

➼ Takes naps with Belphie a lot and thought it was cute that you also wanted to nap.

➼ Pre-nap snack first, though.

➼ Then he’s ready.

➼ Sweet boi will enjoy the nap whether he’s a big spoon or little spoon.

➼ If you’re happy, he’s happy <3

➼ You kiss his face a lot.

➼ He thinks you’re the cutest little human ever when you do that.

➼ I’d say soft Beel, but when is he ever not soft?

➼ Not counting the custard incident

➼ He Likes to kiss the top of your head while you sleep.

➼ He definitely snores.

➼ It takes some getting used to, but you’re not gonna let keep you from cuddling your big boi.

➼ It honestly feels really safe and comforting to just be wrapped up in his arms.

➼ Equally comforting to have his head resting against you.

➼ Overall just really soft.

»»————-　♔　————-««

Belphegor

➼ You don’t even need to ask. He’s the king of naps.

➼ Being around Belphie for an extended period of time makes you sleepy.

➼ You’re not sure if it’s because he’s sleep or if it’s because he has some sort of sleep-power.

➼ Any time you cuddle you end up taking a nap.

➼ Do I even have to say it?

➼ S m a l l s p o o n

➼ The smallest spoon.

➼ As the youngest, he’s the most spoiled, so he’s really really clingy and just expects you to drop whatever you’re doing at any given time to nap with him.

➼ I mean, you’d probably do it even if he didn’t expect you to.

➼ He does this adorable thing when he’s sleepy and he sees you nearby where he’ll go up to you and wrap his arms around you and rest his head against your shoulder and just say “Sleep, please.”

➼ You will stop whatever you’re doing no matter what and go up to the attic to nap with him.

➼ Not an exaggeration. It’s happened while Lucifer was talking to you before he he was p i s s e d.

➼ It was obviously intentional

➼ But how can you say no to his cute face?

➼ He seems to be able to keep you from having nightmares and you sleep 100x better with him than on your own

➼ Softest boi

»»————-　♔　————-««

Simeon

➼ While he may dress like a stripper, this man is an angel and is pure™

➼ Anything you want, you’ll get. How can he ever deny you a thing?

➼ He can’t.

➼ You want naps? You get naps.

➼ You want cuddles? You get cuddles.

➼ You want sleepy kisses? You get sleepy kisses.

➼ Hotel? Trivago.

➼ But seriously, sleepy kisses are definitely a thing.

➼ Especially forehead kisses.

➼ Big spoon. He likes to hold you.

➼ Sweet boy loves you so much 🥺

»»————-　♔　————-««

Luke (Platonically)

➼ Purgatory Hall has weekly movie nights, and they invite you over a lot to join them.

➼ You and Solomon have a very long list of human world movies you want Simeon to watch, but the poor man can’t figure out how Devilflix works for the life of him, so group movie nights are the only way.

➼ Not that any of you mind, of course.

➼ Luke begged Simeon to let him join you guys (he has a pretty strict bedtime)

➼ Simeon lets him occasionally if the movie is appropriate.

➼ Luke insisted on sitting next to you and sharing any treats he made that day.

➼ Poor baby ended up falling asleep not even halfway through the movie.

➼ Solomon obviously made fun of him.

➼ “Looks like it’s naptime for the little chihuahua.”

“Don’t tease him!” You say, defending Luke.

➼ At some point, Luke shifts so that he’s leaning against you in his sleep.

➼ You coo at how cute the ‘lil cherub looks.

➼ Aaaand then you proceed to fall asleep as well.

➼ You woke up the next day still on the couch. You were pretty confused since Simeon usually carries anyone who falls asleep to their bed (or the guest room, in your case).

➼ Then you realize Luke still asleep and wrapped around you.

➼ HE IS THE MOST PRECIOUS BABY EVER

➼ You assumed Simeon didn’t want to attempt moving one of you and risk waking the other so he just left you too

➼ Whatever it was, you went back to sleep with the little cherub snuggling you

»»————-　♔　————-««

Solomon

➼ Purgatory Hall sleepover!

➼ Everyone had already fallen asleep, so you asked Solomon if he’d be alright with you two sleeping together.

➼ Not a good idea.

➼ You’re both settled in his bed and you’re about to drift off to sleep when this silly little sorcerer decided to tickle you.

➼ You s h r e i k

➼ “Solomon!”

➼ “Keep your voice down, dear. You wouldn’t want Simeon hearing and getting the wrong idea, now. Would you?”

➼ The s m a c c you gave him though-

➼ “Can I sleep now, or are you gonna keep bothering me?”

“You know you love me.” He grinned.

“Well, duh. But I also love sleep.”

➼ He does let you sleep after that.

➼ You fall asleep first, and one look at your sleeping face and he falls in love with you all over again.

➼ You’re so p r e c i o u s.

➼ He held you close to him as you slept, pressing soft, featherlight kisses against our forehead and nose, careful not to wake you.

➼ He’s a bitch until you fall asleep, pretty much.

»»————-　♔　————-««

Diavolo

➼ It wasn’t intentional for you to fall asleep, really.

➼ You’d had a long day, and you had been sitting with the demon prince at his palace as he told you about his day over a cup of tea.

➼ It wasn’t like what he was saying was boring.

➼ No, it’s just that you were so tired, and the sofa you were sitting on was so comfy, and Diavolo was talking so much.

➼ It didn’t help that the tea that Barbatos had prepared was especially soothing.

➼ You couldn’t help yourself. You dozed off.

➼ Diavolo continued talking, and probably would’ve gone on for a long while without even noticing if Barbatos hadn’t cleared his throat and gestured towards your sleeping form.

➼ If it had been anyone else, he would have deemed it disrespectful.

➼ But it was you, and he had realized a long time ago that he was incapable of being upset with you.

➼ “It seems they’ve had a tiring day, my Lord. I suggest you let them rest.” Said Barbatos.

“Of course. I wouldn’t dream of disturbing them.” Carefully, he made his way over to you and pried the teacup from our hands so that you didn’t move and break it in your sleep.

➼ Then, he removed his suit jacket and draped it over you like a blanket.

➼ Not gonna lie, even Barbatos was a bit shooketh.

➼ He didn’t say anything, though.

➼ Diavolo kissed your forehead lightly and had Barbatos bring him the last of his paperwork for the day, which he finished quickly while remaining by your side.

➼ After that he picked up our still sleeping form and brought you to his room where he tucked you in.

➼ He sent Lucifer a text saying that you would be staying the night at the palace then went to sleep after answering a few emails.

➼ He snores loudly, but you somehow managed to sleep through it.

»»————-　♔　————-««

Barbatos

➼ Diavolo set up another palace retreat (because I said so)

➼ You had been assigned a room with Luke and Beelzebub that time.

➼ It went good at first, and everyone was sent off to sleep at around 10 p.m.

➼ At some point in the middle of the night, you awoke from a particularly nasty nightmare.

➼ You were more scared than usual when you woke up, since the room you were in was not your room at the House of Lamentation.

➼ It took a while for you to realize where you were and calm down, but even then you were to afraid to sleep.

➼ Slowly, you exited the room, careful not to disturb Luke and Beel.

➼ You made your way to Barbatos’ room and knocked softly.

➼ Briefly, you wondered if he was asleep, but then he opened the door.

➼ You silently panicked when you realized your hair was a mess and your clothing was rumpled from sleep, but your disheveled appearance didn’t seem to faze him.

➼ “Hello. I was just about to prepare for bed. Is something the matter?”

➼ Suddenly, you felt very, very silly to come to such an ancient, powerful being for help with a little nightmare.

➼ “Sorry, it’s nothing. I apologize for bothering you. I’ll leave.” You said, your cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

“You never bother me, my dear. Would you like to come in?” He asked, opening the door wider and stepping aside.

“Yes. I would like that.”

“Is something bothering you?”

You blushed. “I had a nightmare. I couldn’t go back to sleep after that. I know, it’s silly.”

“Of course it isn’t.”

“Can I... Can I stay here with you tonight?”

“If it would make you feel better, you may.”

➼ Barbatos tucked you in then sat next to you, gently running his hands through your hair. He began singing an old song in some ancient, forgotten language. His voice was soft and soothing as he sang, and you found yourself unable to stay awake even if you tried.

➼ “Goodnight, my dear.” He whispered, pressing a kiss to the top of your head.

I’d like to request hc’s of the Brothers and Diavolo reacting to an MC that’s so cute, she could pass off as a doll. If she stands perfectly still, she could pass off as a full sized doll until she moves again. She has adorable doe eyes, wears cute clothes (Lolita fashion or just has an anime girl style), and even makes cute desserts. If the usual MC was weak and frail to them already, Doll!MC seems so dainty, precious, and fragile; these guys would ban paper if she ever got a paper cut.

Oooooo this is really interesting! I can just imagine Doll!MC just making everyone so scared every time she moves because they could probably hurt themselves just bumping into a wall because they look so fragile lol. These were short, so hope you enjoy!

Update: here’s part 2 with the other Undateables!

The Brothers and Diavolo Reacting to Doll!MC

Lucifer

...maybe he made a mistake in picking you for the exchange program after all

You just look so delicate, and just so pure.

You have definitely made cute little snacks and brought it to him while he locked himself in the office with paperwork

He lowkey highkey likes it no matter how he brushes it off with the usual thanks. Keep doing it, MC, he really appreciates it

When you get in trouble and he gives you the usual lectures, he can’t look into your eyes for long

Geez, he already can’t stay mad at you for long but now he can just feel his resolve cracking

If you get hurt oh Diavolo prepare for helicopter parent Lucifer

As soon as you accidently cut yourself in the kitchen (it would be the tiniest cut, barely noticeable), you’re no longer allowed in the kitchen unsupervised and can’t handle anything with a sharp end (whether its a butter knife or kid proof scissors that would be safe for Luke to use unsupervised)

“Let me do it for you, I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“Lucifer, thank you but I’ll be okay. It’s just a frosting spatula it’s not sharp-”

Will punish his brothers 10x worse and demons 100x more if he finds out you got hurt (doesn’t matter what the injury is, could be so much as a paper cut there will be hell to pay)

Constantly checks on you when he can’t see you in person

Handles you so lightly that you barely feel his touch

Move over Belphie, you’re the baby of the house now

Mammon

Protective x100000

Is still tsudere around you, but doesn’t insult you as much

Who are you kidding as soon as he looks into your cute doe eyes, he forgets what he’s saying

Complains about having to do stuff for you but doesn’t mind at all really. He loves it because it feels like you’re depending on him, and that makes him feel worth something.

“C’mon human, let the Great Mammon carry your books! You’re gonna hurt yourself and I don’t feel like hearing Lucifer’s mouth today!”

It was just your planner and a small recipe book that Luke gave you, and it weighed less than 10 pounds but okay. You don’t complain either when you see that he genuinely wants to help and do these things

Basically your loud guard dog and secret service agent rolled into one

He’s gotten into trouble more than once for “protecting you”. A student barely bumped your shoulder and Mammon already tackled him. Lucifer was not pleased (but he secretly understood)

He can’t help it that you’re weak and surrounded by hungry demons! It’s a pain to go through this much effort to just protect you, since you look so helpless

MC he’s just worried that you easily break if a demon so much as breathes on you but he likes that he can protect you because he knows that he can keep you safe. You’re just too cute and sweet okay??

Also stand in his room after watching a horror movie to freak him out and he’ll be sounding like Mariah Carey lmao

Leviathan

RURI-CHAN IS THAT YOU??!

Is for sure having an otaku/weaboo freakout moment

You blend in with figurines so well, every time you come into his room he asks you to stand next to them so he can feel that his collection is complete

He does it sometimes when he streams so people can think he has a rare limited-edition life sized doll that they can’t get. Makes him feel superior

DRESSING YOU UP IN COSPLAY 100%

You’re like an anime character but in real life and he does not know how to handle it

Can’t stare into your eyes, it makes them too flustered because he’s used to seeing it in his otome games and not from an actual person that he likes

Who needs maid cafes when he has you? You even dress and make anime themed desserts (once he built up the courage to ask you to make it for him)

Has to calm his beating heart every time he talks to you, you’re too precious for him MC!

Your like his very own idol, minus the singing and dancing. However, if you can sing and dance....

Levi.exe has stopped working

Satan

Thought you were a real doll until you introduced yourself

He really thought that someone brought you to life Pinocchio style

You looked like a princess from the many stories that he read, and he was smitten

Treated you so graceful and elegant like until he had his rage moments, which he told you to stay far, far, far away from him until he calmed down completely

Secretly placed a hex on you to where if someone tried to attack you or touch you with harmful intentions, they would be somehow be subjected to looking at their worst fear

You were wondering why that random stranger was just staring wide at you with extensive terror, but then you saw Satan grinning, so you left it alone. You thought it was just some weird demon thing

Loved when you made him cat-themed desserts

If you wore cat ears while doing it, he will turn extremely red

If you meow for him, he won’t know how to handle himself

Asmodeus

You are just the cutest thing he has ever laid his eyes on!!

Besides from himself of course, don’t get it twisted he’s still #1

He has most definitely had more than one photoshoot done with you both. And you guys have been trending on the Devilgram a couple of times already

Really you guys trend at least twice a month, and his fans love you!

They always ask where he got the doll from but he always laughs and says that “it’s a secret”

Imagine their shock when they see you walking and talking at RAD, some are amazed and some are downright scared

Fashion shows!

He lives for dressing you up in cute clothes. Your style already suited you and he had great tastes so the new outfits he got you were just *chef’s kiss*

The cute little desserts that you made for him, he always posted it on the Devilgram before he ate it. They were just so cute MC and he couldn’t not show his fans!

Is the most careful brother when it comes to keeping you out of danger. He refused to let his body or skin damaged, and he wasn’t about to let it happen to you either! You are both way too dainty and fragile to let anything happen

Also spa days and self-care nights weekly!

You’re the perfect match made just for him MC

He finally has someone that can understand his struggle of being beautiful, bless you MC

Beelzebub

Soft boy is scared of touching you :(

He towers over you, and he’s scared to even be near you

It takes some time, but he starts to warm up to you

Is always gentle with you, no matter the scenario

Holding hands? He is hardly gripping your hand, said hand fitting loosely in his

Getting hugs? He’s meagerly holding you, not wanting to crush you

You once complained to Beel that it wasn’t fair to get half done hugs (if you were hugging, you were getting a real hug, not a scared one).

He made you swear that if he was hurting you to let him know, so now you have your very own signal to use for him just in case

He was very tempted to wrap you in bubble wrap and just carry you around like that

He LOVES your sweets, even more than Luke’s and Barbatos’

No matter the size, he loves them, mainly because you made them and it was made with love, just for him

It always makes him feel so warm inside, and he doesn’t feel his appetite gnawing at him like usual

No one is dumb enough to try anything with you both in his presence and not, unless they want to end up either a: deep into the ground or b: into his stomach

You just make him feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and he just loves everything about you. He just loves you

Belphegor

Hm, you look cute

For a human

Acts like he doesn’t care, but you’ve caught him blushing before (he still does it too)

Won’t outright admit that you’re charming in your own little way, but he does in his sarcastic way like usual

“MC, you’re such a half-pint. You’re like my personal sized teddy bear.”

Has cuddled with you like you were his personal teddy bear (and still does, but you don’t complain at all)

Has a secret sweet tooth and eat your desserts whenever you make it just for him (and he doesn’t even share it with Beel, that monster)

Demons just have to look Belphie in the eyes, watch him flex his claws, and they all of a sudden forget about whatever they were planning. Good

He hates that you look so fragile, but at the same time he kinda likes it

You just look so soft, and you’re just so kind

It makes him feel like he’s protecting and caring for you, and that makes him feel calm and peaceful

Please make sure that he’s okay MC, he’s scared that he’s gonna mess up again

Diavolo

The Prince of Hell is both surprised and pleased at your appearance

Do all humans look this charming or is it just you??

If someone as soft as you can survive living and going to school with demons, then this is great

Knew that you weren’t a doll, but still liked to admire you like one

Has asked more than once for pictures, you are just too enchanting!

Wants to have a portrait painted of you so he can hang it up in the castle

LOVES you baking for him! Loves when Barbatos does it too (even though it is kinda part of his job), but it feels different with you. It feels...domestic in a sense. Makes him feel like Diavolo, your friend and very interested in being your boyfriend, instead of Lord Diavolo, the prince that will be residing over Hell in the future

No one would be foolish enough to hurt you. If someone was, they wouldn’t even get the chance to lift a finger before they were directly dealing with him. Don’t take his kindness for weakness, he still is a demon after all, the future King of Hell to be exact

Was scared of touching you at first, but quickly grew out of it! He can handle his own strength, and you guys also have a signal to use just in case he does squeeze a little too tight

Will want to dress you up in royal clothes (if you were okay with it). Nothing is wrong with your current style, as a matter of fact it suits you! He basically just wants to play a fancy game of dress up/have a fashion show with royal clothing

Will take 100s of photos, no exaggeration

Asmo will be jealous, so be warned

Plus, he wants to know how his future lover/ruler would look in a crown so he can start taking measurements. You can never be too ready, right MC?

and all i've seen is green eyes and freckles and your smile

juke | childhood friends to lovers | title: everything has changed // taylor swift

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"Hey! Can I make pies with you?" A voice chirps.

Luke looks up from his serious work, sweat building on his forehead, and meets the eyes of a girl from his classroom. She's Julie, he thinks, though it could also be Flynn or Thea or Penny. They all sit together.

"It's chocolate," he explains, digging his fingers in the mud. "Do you like chocolate?"

"I love chocolate!" she yells, collapsing in the sandbox beside him and tucking her cloud of curls behind her ears.

Their jeans are stained and their elbows are scratched, but by the end of recess, they've baked about a dozen different cakes and have 'tried' a few as well.

"My mom makes the best cakes," she babbles as the bell rings, the two sauntering to the spot Miss Bloom would be waiting. "Like, real cakes, and I help her."

"That's cool." He stuffs his tiny hands in the pockets of his jeans. "I like cake too. My mom doesn't make it though."

"Then how do you know you like cake?"

"We buy it from the store, duh!" he laughs. "My favourite's confetti cake."

She hums in agreement. "I like peanut butter cherry a lot."

He gawks. "Whoa! That sounds crazy!"

"Do you wanna try a slice sometime?"

They go to stand in line with the other kids of their class, Miss Bloom counting their heads.

"Sure!"

—

The class goes to the zoo the next week, and Luke and Julie stick together as newly formed best friends. She holds his hand when he's scared of the zebras, and he helps her stand a little higher on the gate to get a better look at the llamas.

She, Flynn and Luke make the biggest collage of pictures and drawings the class had ever seen.

She feigns reading his hand and tells him his future is bright, a word that sticks with him and starts using for the rest of year.

She also tells him they'll be best friends forever and it gains her the biggest hug in the world.

Second grade ends and all of her friends go to her house to eat peanut butter cherry pie and listen to music in the garden as they play games.

She links pinkies with Luke at the end of night. "Friends forever?"

He grins, missing a front tooth. "Forever and more!"

—

"Reggie's parents are fighting," Luke quips, both of them upside down on the monkey bars.

Julie looks at him. His face is turning red. She wonders if she looks the same right now. "Fighting? Like, yelling ?"

"I don't know." He tries to shrug but his arms just flop around. "He just says they're fighting. Maybe they'll get a DJ."

Her nose curls up. "A DJ?"

"A DJ... like when moms and dads aren't together anymore."

She giggles. "A divorce, silly!"

Alex and Reggie trudge to their spot on the playground and mount themselves on the monkey bars.

"What are we taking about?" Reggie asks.

Alex pouts. "I don't wanna go upside down. What if I fall?"

"I've fallen and I'm still alive," Luke counters.

Alex shrugs and sits on the bars, but doesn't drop upside down. He can still listen like this.

"About your parents," Julie says, "about fighting."

Reggie makes a face. "I just don't like it. Like, I'm loud, but they're loud!"

Luke makes a noise of excitement, not unlike a strangled animal. He puffs, hoisting himself up. The rest follows and suddenly Alex isn't alone.

"Let's do a sleepover!" he exclaims. "My house!"

Everyone hollers and agrees. Julie raises her hand. "Can Flynn come too?"

"Why?"

"Because Flynn is fun and my best friend too!"

Alex smiles. "I like her too."

Reggie wiggles his brows. "Like like?"

"Ew, no!"

"So?" Julie stresses, looking at Luke.

He shrugs. "Sure. She can come too."

—

They're ten when Luke yells, "Ew, no, I don't like Julie!"

The girl in question who had been making their way to the group of boys, ready to ask Luke, Alex and Reg to play, balks at his exclaim. He doesn't like her? But they're best friends!

Hurt and offended, she stomps the last few meters and yells his name.

"Luke!"

He turns around in surprise. "Jules!"

"What do you mean you don't like me?!"

All the boys start laughing and snickering, muffling their mouths or blatantly pointing at her. She crosses her arms. Boys are so stupid!

"I don't!" he rushes.

"WHAT?!"

"I don't like like you," he clarifies, annoyed by the boys.

She stops for a moment. "Well, duh."

"Ya see," Luke grins, "Julie and I are just tight, okay?"

Bobby shrugs. "Whatever. You're still a sissy for being best friends with a girl!"

Anger floods her senses once more and she makes a consecutive decision right then and there. Pounding forward, she takes a resolute turn to Bobby and then slams her foot on his.

He yelps in agony, grabbing his foot and falling on the ground.

"That's what you get!" she yells.

"Yeah!" Luke and Reggie exclaim.

"Uh, guys—" Alex stutters.

They turn around to an angry mister Trent. Great, she thinks, now she's getting the blame for what Bobby started!

At least Luke doesn't like like her. That would've been a disaster.

(She gets detention, but it's worth it. Bobby stops bothering her.)

—

(But then Luke steals her first kiss that summer when they're by the pool playing truth or dare because Kayla wants to be adventurous. She's been obsessed with the idea of kissing and pushes Luke and Julie to do it.

It's brief, light as a feather and kind of weird, but she doesn't hate it.

His face turns bright as a cherry and she's kind of embarrassed for a day, but then they're cool and just don't talk about it.)

—

Reggie's parents divorce when they're in the sixth grade and they hold many more sleepovers.

—

"Don't move," Julie orders, carefully putting toothpaste on his pimple, "it's gonna work, I promise."

Luke groans. "You promise? It's HUGE!"

"It really isn't," she lies, because it's probably as big as the Kilimanjaro.

"I wanted to be cool on the first day of middle school and now I have a pimple," he whines, falling back on her bed when she's done.

Capping her toothpaste, she shrugs. "You're cool... just with a pimple. We're still biking together, right?"

"Of course!"

—

She feels the first prick of jealousy when Luke is dubbed 'the cutest boy of seventh grade' and all the girls start swarming him or asking her what he likes.

Well, he likes rock music and poking snails and her mom's pies. Does that help them make Luke their boyfriend? She doesn't think so!

"They're stealing my friend!" Julie grumbles to Flynn as they're both watching Thea make a move, or whatever that means.

"Luke isn't gonna stop being your friend," Flynn reassures. "But boys are dumb. So, I don't know."

Luke feels his first hit of jealousy at the eighth grade spring fling dance when he sees Nick asking Julie to dance during some sappy Ed Sheeran song. He thinks she'll say no, but to his baffled surprise, she says yes! To Nick! Why would anyone want to dance with Nick?! Luke swears the kid eats his own boogers.

"Why is she dancing with Nick and not with me?" he nags, standing beside Alex and Reggie as they're hoarding food.

Reggie grins. "Jealous?"

"Uh, no!"

"Sure."

—

It kind of gets awkward after that.

In the summer between eighth and ninth — aka, the start of freaking high school! — they both undergo major bouts of puberty.

Luke gets a growth spurt and constantly has aching knees, Julie graduates from a training bra to an actual bra because she suddenly has boobs and she's scared it'll change things.

Now, she also looks different from the guys. They'll still like her, right?

Julie swaps her glasses for contact lenses since it's easier and Luke buys his first guitar from mowing lawns all summer long.

Because of that, he lost a lot of his baby fat.

Suddenly, her best friend is kind of… attractive.

—

Luke gets his first girlfriend in freshman year and it isn't Julie and she hates how it comes as a surprise to her that… well… it isn't her. It's Thea, of all people. Guess that one move she made in seventh grade paid off.

According to Luke, they go on dates to the movies sometimes, or hang out at the skatepark, and kiss when no one's looking.

"I've kissed plenty of girls," Reggie boasts, noting his Bible summer camp experience. "Catch up, Luke."

"Me and Thea kiss a ton!" he exclaims, but it doesn't sound convincing. "Like, a lot!"

Alex and Julie share a disgusted look from across the cafeteria table. He came out as gay this year to them and Julie doesn't like girls, so these conversations are useless to them.

"Can we talk about something else?" she whines. "This is boring!"

Luke shrugs. "Pearl Jam brought out a new album."

The one statement diverts the conversation completely, much to her enjoyment, until Thea walks to their table and steals Luke from them.

Julie sees red.

Alex asks her if she likes Luke during a quiet moment.

"No," she mutters. "Not like that."

"Okay."

"You don't believe me?"

"No... not really."

—

They break up after three months and right then, Julie and Nick get together. He's sweet and kind and smart and cute and when he kisses her, he's soft and careful. She likes it. She feels safe around Nick.

He teaches her a bit of lacrosse, she teaches him how to make empanadas.

It's clear Luke doesn't like him though.

"He's so boring, Julie," he says. "I don't know what you see in him."

"What did you see in Thea?" she challenges him.

"She was cute," he shrugs, "and nice. And she's a good kisser."

She smiles, victorious, and crosses her arms. "There you go. Your explanation."

His face sours. "I don't believe he's a good kisser."

"Want to try for yourself?"

He rolls his eyes. "No. Whatever. Have fun on that date of yours," he mutters the last, grabbing his shoes and walking out her bedroom.

She's angry and distracted during the entire date and she hates herself for realising weeks later that Luke was right. Nick is boring.

Sweet, but boring.

She breaks up with him after three months — as long as Luke and Thea were together — and suddenly she understands why Luke behaved the way he did.

Why she behaved the way she did.

They're playing truth or dare in someone's basement at a birthday party, all carefully drinking from a can of cheap beer, when Carrie dares Luke to kiss Julie.

He kisses her… and then they keep kissing.

The group hollers when they don't separate after three seconds and go insane when his hand slips up her cheek and it prolongs to ten.

Their faces are red and awed when they pull back and the others in the circle look like they've won the Olympics.

"Talk?" Luke rasps.

"Yes."

He grabs her hand and pulls her out the circle, everyone ooh-ing and ah-ing, thinking they're gonna do something scandalous. They find themselves in an empty hallway. Luke lets go of her hand and starts nervously scratching at his neck.

"So, uh, that kiss, uh—"

"I liked it," she blurts. It's the biggest risk of her life, but she takes it anyway. "What, uh, did you think?"

"Yeah!" He rushes forward, sudden surge of excitement. "Yeah, I liked— I really liked it. I- I wanna kiss you again."

She smiles. "You do?"

He blushes. "Yeah."

"Okay," she giggles.

And then he's right there, cradling her cheeks while she's holding onto the hem of his t-shirt and it's sweet and warm and way different than when she kissed Nick. It's more.

She really likes him. She really really really likes Luke to an insane degree.

They talk and share little kisses on the couch for the entire night, giddy and dopey. Her heart is bursting! It may be one of the best moments of her young life.

—

"Hey," he grins, kissing her square on the lips as he meets her by her locker.

It's the start of senior year. Only a few more months until freedom and the beginning and end of milestones, but Luke's a constant.

To her, he'll be a constant forever.

"Hey," she smiles, grabbing his hand. "Ready to go?"

"Ready when you are."

Re-sharing some of my fics under the new Mandalorian genfic tag. Calling all other genfic writers to come share yours, too, under “#noromo mando.” We can love our reader inserts and OC romances and slash fics, but let’s show some love for non-shippy stuff too!

Probably all of my followers who wanted to read this one have done so, but here it is one more time, in case it makes someone else smile: The post-Chapter 16 Christmas Special. It's Life Day at Luke's Jedi school, and Din Djarin's come to spend the holiday with Grogu. Featuring laughter, cookies, family. Plus Luke and Din having a pretend lightsaber battle with cardboard wrapping paper tubes.

Can You Beat My Uncle in a Fight? (read it on AO3)

He still has to work. That makes his schedule unpredictable.

Sometimes the work is for the New Republic. He’s not sure how he feels about that, yet. The rules haven’t changed: find them, bring them in. Alive if possible. Otherwise not. Din looks at the row of carbonite slabs in his new ship’s hold and thinks, Miggs Mayfeld. He kind of had a point.

The new ship isn’t bad. It’s good, actually. It’s got sleeping quarters that were built for sleeping. Amazing to wake up each morning without every muscle aching. Years back, he’d chalked that up to getting older. Accepted it as normal.

He’d accepted a lot of things as normal.

The ship’s on course now for Miriyan, where the jetii’s school sits in a clearing, surrounded by tall trees. He’s a day late, but it can’t be helped. Job ran long. He’d rather have let the quarry live, but sometimes things don’t go the way you want them to.

The school is a nice place. Peaceful, if you don’t count kids sparring with pretend lightsabers in the open courtyard. That part makes it feel homey though, if you’re a Mandalorian. In fact, he’s been meaning to talk to Luke about that. Those kids could be much further along. Maybe he should offer to help.

He finds himself shaking his head, thinking about it. A jetii sorcerer trusting a Mandalorian? And vice versa? Ancient enemies, the Armorer said. But it turned out, when he brought it up, Luke barely knew anything about it either.

“Yeah,” he said, “apparently that was a thing. Do you mind?”

And Din said, “No.” And that was that.

In fact, the main reason he takes these New Republic jobs is because Luke recommends him. The young jetii’s heart seems to be in the right place, even if the work is sometimes iffy. Din can’t exactly explain why he trusts him.

But if he weren’t running on instinct right now, he’d probably grind to a stop altogether.

Miriyan’s sky is golden with sunset as his ship touches down next to an X-wing, a couple of A-wings, and a freighter that looks like it’s seen better days. It’s a hike from the airfield to the school, but he knows the way. The forest rustles around him. Now and then a twig snaps or something scampers. Luke said Miriyan didn’t have any large predators, but Din still keeps a hand near his blaster.

By the time he gets to the courtyard, the day has settled into evening. Light from the main building’s windows stands out, looking welcoming and warm against the blue of late twilight.

Din knows by now that he doesn’t have to knock. He presses the catch on the simple wooden door and steps into the common room. He barely has the chance to take in the cheerful chaos--groups of people gathered in comfortable chairs and seated on the floor, colored lights strung about the rafters and a bright blaze in the large fireplace--before he’s surrounded by children clamoring, “He’s here, he’s here! Grogu he’s here!”

Grogu’s still only halfway across the floor, toddling on his little legs, so one of children runs back to get him. Din can’t follow without running down another child, so he waits for the boy to bring Grogu to him. The boy’s got a bright smile that looks a lot like Luke’s. The smile turns shy when he’s actually facing a tall, beskar-clad Mandalorian.

Din kneels down to his level. He’s careful to say, “Thank you,” before lifting Grogu from the boy’s hold. The little arms immediately reach out for him, settling around his neck as the child snuggles his head into the space between his breastplate and chin.

“I missed you too, kid.”

When he looks up again, the children are still gathered around, watching with rapt attention. “That’s the cutest thing ever,” one of the little girls breathes. Din’s grateful to see Luke on his way over. A jetii rescuing a Mandalorian might not exactly go with the Creed, but he’ll take it.

“All right, all of you. There’s hot chocolate over by the fire. Get going! Scram!” Luke’s voice is kind, underlaid with a sense of laughter. The children giggle as they scatter.

“Job go ok?” Luke asks as Din straightens up, shifting Grogu to the crook of his arm. The child coos happily, looking from Luke to Din with big eyes and a bigger smile.

“Well enough,” Din says. “I’m afraid you won’t need to have a trial.”

“Ah,” Luke says. “You ok about that?”

No one’s ever asked him that before.

Finally Din shrugs one shoulder, and Luke nods. “Come sit with us. You’re a lot more interesting than that hot chocolate, the kids are going to be all over you again any minute. They’re a little more shy with my sister. Maybe we can buy you a bit of a reprieve.”

Din follows him across the large hall, weaving their way through groups of adults and children. Everyone’s got mugs of warm drinks and plates of snacks. Every now and then, as he passes, he hears an adult scolding a child: Shhh, don’t stare!

The lights aren’t just decorating the rafters, they’re strung around the large windows, too. Boughs of some kind of fir tree decorate the walls. Must have been brought in from the forest.

He has a vague idea that this is how people decorate their homes for Life Day. He’s never celebrated it. He’s never been invited to the home of someone who does.

Grogu babbles happily on the way. Din has no idea what he’s saying. “Did you?” he asks when the child pauses for breath. “Yes? Really? That sounds fun.”

Luke leads him to a group of squishy chairs arranged in a corner. “My sister Leia,” he says, and a lovely young woman with intricately braided hair nods hello.

“It’s so nice to meet you,” she says. “Luke says Grogu goes on about you non-stop.”

The boy who’d brought the child to him is sitting at Leia’s feet. Din looks over at Luke. “Your son?” he asks.

“My nephew. Ben. He belongs to Leia and Han.”

Han is apparently the man slouched comfortably in the chair across from Leia, a tumbler of what looks like whisky in his hand. “Welcome,” he says. “Can I get you something? For a mystical sorcerer, Luke stocks a pretty good bar.”

“No, thank you.”

Han’s unfazed. “Luke wasn’t sure if you’d--” He waves in the direction of Din’s helmet. “Let me know if you change your mind, yeah?”

“I will.”

Luke’s pulling another chair over. He slides it into place next to Leia, then collapses into the empty chair on her other side, kicking his feet up onto the low table in front of them. Din settles into the chair, Grogu on his lap. The baby reaches for a plate of colorful cookies that Luke’s boots narrowly missed. “Those aren’t yours,” Din starts to say, but Ben immediately lifts the plate so the child can reach.

“Which one do you want?” Ben asks, as Grogu stares at the plate in delight. “You can have two if you want.”

The chair is comfortable. The room is warm. The chatter all around feels friendly. Grogu’s weight against him settles something in his mind, a part of his brain he hadn’t even realized had been on high alert for weeks.

Luke seems to sense that he needs a minute. He’s chatting quietly with Leia and Han, something about Outer Rim settlements, until Ben finally throws up his hands and announces, “You’re all so boring!”

“Ben,” Leia starts to scold, although Din notices she’s hiding a smile.

Han just grins outright at his son. “I guess we are. Too much talking. You have a better idea?”

Ben looks like he wants to say something, but he’s suddenly shy again. He sidles over to his father and whispers.

“You better ask him,” Han says. “Go on, I’m pretty sure he’s not going to bite.”

Ben whispers again. Din, curious, taps the mic control on his helmet to turn up the sound. He catches the end of Ben’s question. “....beat Uncle Luke in a fight?”

It’s not polite to listen in like that, so Din waits until Ben, still standing close to his Dad, repeats the question.

“I read about Mandalorians. You’re the best warriors in the galaxy. Could you beat my Uncle Luke in a fight?”

Luke bursts out laughing. “I don’t know,” he says to Din. “Could you?”

Ben’s waiting for an answer. Grogu’s bouncing on Din’s lap now, waving his hands and babbling again. It sounds pretty insistent.

Luke answers Grogu seriously. “We could find out. I don’t know if your dad wants to, though.”

Something in Din’s brain short-circuits for a second at the phrase “your dad.” While he’s recovering, Luke and Ben are discussing options.

“I don’t think a lightsaber fight would be a good idea, Ben. Do you?”

Ben looks around the busy room, at children chasing each other, at families laughing. “No. Someone might get hurt.”

“That reminds me,” Luke says. “You still have that Darksaber?”

“It’s back on the ship. More trouble than it’s worth to carry.”

“Have you learned how to use it?” Bo Katan asked that once, and the scorn in her voice was nearly as sharp as the laser blade. Luke sounds genuinely curious.

“I’ve trained with swords,” Din says. “I can’t really practice with it on board. The ship’s not made of beskar.”

“Good point,” Luke says. “I destroyed more than a few pieces of furniture when I was learning.”

Ben’s not letting this go. “He knows how to use a sword,” he says to Luke. “I bet you’re really good at it,” he adds to Din.

Din finds himself smiling behind his helmet. “I’m not too bad.”

Just then, tumult and shouts from across the room have Luke getting to his feet. Din slides his left arm protectively across Grogu’s middle as his other hand hovers by his blaster. But it’s just a bunch of kids play-fighting, and most of the noise turns out to be laughter.

Somewhere the kids have found a bunch of cardboard tubes, and they’re cheerfully batting each other with them in a boisterous approximation of a lightsaber battle. It’s nothing like the carefully orchestrated sparring Din has seen on other visits here. This is a free-for-all. Kids are getting bonked on the head and whacked on the back, and they’re all laughing like mad the whole time.

Luke’s family have abandoned their comfy chairs and come along to watch.

Din’s with them, mystified by the whole thing until Leia explains. “They’re from the paper we use to decorate gifts. If you’d been here last night, you’d have gotten to see. We made a party out of getting everyone’s presents wrapped.”

Her tone is kind. Luke must have told her he’s not familiar with this whole Life Day thing. But Din’s having another moment: Gifts. He didn’t even think of gifts.

“Don’t worry,” Leia says, apparently realizing. “We made sure there’s something for Grogu. The children wanted to wait until you got here to open presents, so we’re doing that later tonight. You’ll get to see.”

Why are these people being so nice to him? It must all be for Grogu. He’s grateful. “Thank you.”

While they’re talking, Ben grabs up a spare cardboard tube and dashes into the fray. He immediately gets bopped in the shoulder and spins around to hit the other kid on her backside. Leia smiles, Han starts cheering Ben on, and Luke--Luke’s got a maniacal sparkle in his eyes.

Din watches, impressed, as Luke shifts into Jedi Master mode. His face goes solemn, his back is straighter, every movement suddenly more measured. He strides into the fray, the children’s own movements slowing as they watch him. They don’t seem afraid. It seems more like respect.

Luke gently takes a cardboard tube from one of the older boys, who hands it over and steps back. The Jedi Master moves into a fighting stance, cardboard tube balanced in his hands and looking for all the world like a lightsaber--if it weren’t so completely absurd.

“All right, Mandalorian,” he says, and his tone’s filled with laughter and that solemn expression’s turned back to a grin. “Let’s see what you’ve got.”

There’s no saying no. The kids are all cheering now. Even the parents are getting in on it. “Two credits on the Jedi Master,” one of the men calls out, and someone replies with, “My bet’s on the Mandalorian,” and Leia’s got her head in her hands but she’s laughing through her fingers.

“Looks like you don’t get a choice,” Han says, offering to take the child. “Go on, wipe the floor with him.”

Ben holds out another cardboard tube. Din, half amused and half horrified by this whole thing, reaches out and takes it.

It’s close. Din’s not sure if Luke’s holding back, but he sure isn’t. It’s only sparring, of course. He knows how to do that without hurting his opponent. Not that getting bopped with cardboard would do much harm anyway, but the goal is not to get hit. He’s breathing hard but he can still hear everyone cheering as he forces Luke back toward a corner, then has to duck and roll, narrowly avoiding the Jedi’s sudden counterattack.

He should probably be embarrassed. This is about the furthest thing from dignified that he can imagine. Mandalorians train with real weapons, not these… they’re not even toys. They’re pretend things.

This really should not be so much fun.

The battle ends when Luke finally manages to land a blow. Din’s on his back on the floor, Luke leaning over him. He’s already got one boot against the jetii’s stomach, ready to throw him back across the room, when that cardboard tube sneaks in low and connects with a pauldron. In a real fight a hit against his armor would barely have registered. But this isn’t a real fight.

Din concedes with grace, accepting Luke’s hand to pull him to his feet.

All around them, credits are changing hands as the kids run up to surround them both. Din expects them to congratulate Luke, but mostly they want to talk to him.

“How’d you do it?”

“You almost beat him!”

“Can you teach us?”

“Master Luke, can he teach us?”

Luke’s brushing dust from his shirt and trousers, still grinning. “I don’t know, maybe. Let’s let him catch his breath, ok? We can ask him later.”

By the time they get to opening presents, Din’s exhausted. Watching the kids open their gifts is nice, but he’s content to sit back away from it all, Grogu snuggled on his lap again as the two of them let the party go on around them. Ben brings Grogu’s gift over. The child tears happily at the colorful paper, adding it to the cheerful litter of wrapping that’s now covering the floor. Inside the box is a plush toy in the shape of a bantha. Even the curled horns are made to be soft.

“He told us about your adventure on Tatooine,” Ben explains, as Grogu examines the toy with delight. The child cuddles it to his chest for a moment, then holds it out to Din.

“You want me to tell him?” Ben asks the child. Din realizes, startled, that Luke’s nephew must be jetii, too. Of course he is, though, why wouldn’t he be. Maybe Han and Leia are, too.

“He says it needs a hug from you.”

Din accepts the little plush and speaks to Grogu as though he’ll understand. “How about if you both get a hug?”

Grogu chirps happily.

Ben translates, “He says yes.”

Din gathers the child and the toy up together, gently wrapping his arms around them. Ben nods, and then there’s that smile that looks so much like Luke’s.

“I’m glad your dad’s here, Grogu.” He pats the child’s head, flashes Din one more grin, and leaves them to have some time together. As a family? Din thinks, looking over Grogu’s head at parents and children looking at gifts, sharing cookies, and laughing together.

As a family.

Danielle looked at the small sleeping bundle in her arms and smiled lovingly. Her niece was only six hours old and already she adored her.

Lucy Blakiston Houston was born after what Sarah called an enviable labour, Emma barely had time to get from lunch with Tom and Danielle to the hospital before she was ready to be brought to the birthing suite. She, Danielle and Jack tried to calculate if she had been in labour at the house, but going by her pleasant demeanour and lack of pain, they ascertained that no, it was only four hours of actual painful contractions.

Danielle had spent much of the past month juggling training, work and being effectively Emma's minder since Jack still had to work and Emma was on maternity leave and did not want to be by herself all day. Diana was in London with them more than she was at home in Suffolk but Danielle was the one that Emma could depend on most.

Danielle confessed her slight “issue”, so to speak, with Emma only for her friend to actually confess that there was a girl at work feeling the same way. She used the fact that she could help Emma to prepare for her baby as a distraction from her minds ridiculous idea that she should have her own. She and Emma prepared everything that was small and meticulous outside of such things like cots, cradles and other such things. She even went to the birthing class with Emma that Jack could not make and acted as chauffeur to doctors appointments. Having the ability to help her friend so much made Danielle feel as though she was of some use and able to make up for being such a terrible friend when she was dealing, badly, with her own madness.

“What else do we need?” She asked as she insisted on holding Emma's purchases.

“Steriliser and I was going to look at breast pumps,” Emma explained.

“Scratch them.”

“What?”

“Tom got you a steriliser and I got you a breast pump, that really good Medela electric one.”

“Wait, you and Tom went buying baby stuff?” Emma couldn't help laughing at the idea of her brother's fans seeing him purchasing baby items.

“No, he just gave me the money to get you stuff and I went and bought them online because if I was seen doing that, people would lose their little-warped minds and poor Luke would have to be signed into a lunatic asylum.” Danielle laughed. “Not to mention, I would probably be reported to Social Services for risking an unborn child with all my training.”

“Why would anyone choose to do what you do?”

“Why do people choose to do anything? Jack has run marathons, so has Tom.”

“And I called them mad before, during and after such. You are doing a marathon after doing two other acts of madness first.”

“Well, you're consistent if nothing else.” Danielle joked. “So anything else?”

“Bed?”

“That can be arranged.” Danielle smiled. “How about I cook you a nice lunch and give you some frozen dinners first?”

”Best sister-in-law/best friend ever.”

“I am not your sister-in-law.” Danielle pointed out.

“You and Tom are together long enough to call you that,” Emma argued.

“If it gets me auntie status, I'll bear it.” She joked.

“You already had that status.”

“Good to know.”

With a text to Tom and Jack, they arranged a lunch at Tom and Danielle's home and had food there. Halfway through the meal, Emma felt small twinges of pain that quickly became more painful. Taking note of the length of time of each pain and the time between them, Danielle was able to inform her friend that it was regular and consistent enough to be classed as labour.

She drove them to the hospital as she was most likely the one that would remain calm. Tom had the duty of going to their home to retrieve the hospital bag, as at thirty-seven weeks, they thought she would go over like so many first time mothers would, but the baby clearly did not take after her uncle, Danielle joked to a bemused look from Tom. She also gave him the last of their purchases from the day to drop off to the house for when Emma got out of the hospital.

A mere four hours later, Lucy had arrived in the world.

Tom and Danielle waited patiently as both sets of grandparents met their grandchild first, then, after they went in. Tom looked at his niece fondly, joking that the family had yet another woman in it, and with the women in the family being so independent and strong-willed, Lucy was no doubt going to join a proud tradition.

“Of course she will, and with you two as one set of her Godparents, how could she not be?” Emma smiled.

For a moment, Danielle and Tom didn't really react, having not really heard the words used fully, but as they replayed in both of their minds, they paused and looked at each other before looking to Emma and Tom, who were both smiling at them. “Sorry?” Tom was adamant that he had heard them incorrectly.

“Well, she has a set of godparents on both sides and we were hoping that you two would be the ones from the Hiddleston side,” Emma explained with a large grin.

“I...really?” Tom looked at his little sister and then to the small little girl that she created. “I am not sure I am suitable for such a duty.”

“Hence why we asked Danielle too, to balance it out.” Emma joked.

“Oh, ha-ha.”

“I thought it was funny.” Danielle laughed. She looked at the small baby. “Who were you in a past life to say you're getting stuck with us? What crimes did you commit for such a penance? Poor Mammy and Daddy are never allowed to do anything reckless or stupid for the rest of their lives now.” Danielle gave Emma a playful look. “Don't worry, I'll live it on your behalf.”

“You can do whatever you want and you choose to do some stupid length thing?” Emma scoffed.

“Yep, because I can.”

“I rather my baby. Can I have her back, by the way?”

“When she's a teenager.” Danielle joked as she walked back over to the bed and gave Lucy to her mother. “I love the hair, it must be said.”

“She had no hope with both sides.” Jack shook his head, indicating to both his and Tom's auburn hair before looking at his daughter's own auburn tufts.

“It's gorgeous, and I see a risk of curls. She is just gorgeous.” Danielle smiled rubbing her little fingers with the back of Lucy's hand. “But of course she is, just like her Mammy.”

“Best friend ever.” Emma smiled.

Tom looked at his phone. “Em, Sarah and Yakov are here. We'll go and give you a chance to talk to them for a few minutes, visiting hours are over in twenty minutes.”

“Okay, I am supposed to be out in the morning.”

“I can bring some food to yours to help you?” Danielle offered.

“Please. I have none of that ready. I thought she'd be longer.”

“Well, she decided to be early, so just text me whatever you need to be done, I will sort it and that will allow you two to deal with family, yourselves and Lucy okay?’ Danielle offered.

“Best friend ever.” Emma smiled. “Thank you.” She gave Danielle a small hug before Danielle gave another finger rub goodbye to Lucy.

Tom came over, having given Jack a hug and gave his sister a kiss on the cheek. “Congratulations Emma, Elle is right, she is beautiful, like you, with a little bit of Jack.”

“She has good genes.” Danielle smiled as she gave Jack a kiss on the cheek. “If you need anything from, let me know, okay? Taxi service, laundry, whatever.”

“Thank you, Elle.” Jack hugged her close. “By the way, your lasagne…”

Danielle laughed. “I will do one just for ye.” She promised as they said goodbye and walked to the lobby.

Tom had his arm around her. “How are you?”

“I want to steal Lucy, she is too cute.”

“Don't steal our niece. She's at the eat, sleep and poop-only stage.”

They quickly met Sarah and Yakov in the hallway. “How cute is she?” Sarah asked excitedly.

“Ovary hurting,” Danielle warned. “Wait until you see her.”

Sarah smiled and urged Yakov on. “Come on.”

“We'll see you tomorrow.” Tom beamed as they went one direction and his sister and her husband went the other.

Danielle and Tom drove their cars home at a reasonable speed before Danielle began tidying up after their earlier meal, whose plates had to be left on the countertop as they dealt with the impending arrival of Lucy.

“Are you alright?” She looked at Tom curiously. “With how your mind is at the moment and seeing Emma's baby?”

Danielle gave a small smile. “I am working on it. She doesn't help though, being the cutest little munchkin.” Tom wrapped his arms around her. “I get to dote on her something terrible now. Hopefully, helping with her will make my silly head see how much work they are and realise we're too busy for that at present.”

“We have so much to do first.” Tom smiled. “How was your swim this morning?”

“I broke my personal best.”

“You're incredible.” He kissed her neck. “It's late, Elle, do that tomorrow.” His kisses continued.

“I think you mean that you don't want to wait for me to finish tidying to see if you can get some.” She laughed, leaning into his kisses.

In the time since she confessed to her issue, Danielle was not particularly amorous, a mixture of her training and her hormones making her want to avoid it but she was slowly getting back to herself.

“Is it working?” He smiled.

“Maybe….” She gave a sly smirk.

“Go upstairs, I'm going to put the dogs out for a moment and then I am going to show you how much I adore you.”

“Naughty boy.” She smirked over her shoulder, opening the blouse she was wearing to reveal her bra strap to him.

“That's new.” He declared. “That is definitely new.”

“Mhmm… and I think it is high time that you get acquainted with it.” She showed him a little more. Tom's eyes widened. “Hurry up.”

“Bobby, Mac, out now.” Tom urged the dogs to the back door. “Come on.”

The dogs were quickly ushered out the door and as soon as they completed their business, they were even more swiftly ushered back in before Tom rushed up the stairs to where Danielle was wearing nothing but her new underwear and one of his shirts open to reveal it. “Well?”

“I think it best if I show you rather than say it.” He walked swiftly over to her and kissed her passionately. “I don't know if I said it to you previously, my beautiful Elle, but you have exquisite taste in lingerie.”

“I think I have too many, how do you even remember whether or not you have seen them before?”

“No such thing as too many. And I love getting to be the one with the honour of seeing them on you. I remember them because I get to remember how incredibly sexy you are in them.” He smiled before lifting her to straddle her legs around him before bringing them both to the bed and placing her on it. “And don't think that my shirt escaped my notice and of all the shirts, that one.”

The baby blue shirt was unbuttoned, revealing her body to him. She loved that shirt on him and how he rolled up the sleeves on it when he was doing things around the house. “I am smitten with it.”

“Evidently.” He smiled wickedly. He looked over her body. With her intense training and even with increasing her food intake to assist it, her physique was altering slightly. If he had not been there when she returned from a nutritionist who increased her calorie intake by a thousand extra calories a day, he would be worried but seeing her stick to her meal plan to ensure she was looking after herself properly, he was not concerned. She looked as beautiful as ever to him and in such lingerie, she looked incredibly sexy. “God, I love you.” He declared leaning down to kiss her, which she reciprocated immediately.

too young, too dumb [calum hood] ch. 2

“so i drown it out, like i always do”

Previous Chapters: Chapter 1

“I LOVE YOU, CALUM,” Olivia whispered as she swept stray curls away from Calum’s forehead. Calum smiled. He’d never been so in love. As his hand traveled down her arm, he took her hand in his. “I want to expand our family, Cal,” she said as she toyed with Calum’s fingers. Calum’s eyes widened and he dropped Olivia’s hand and sat up. He knew he wasn’t ready to be a father, he couldn’t even babysit Ashton’s daughter without calling him every ten minutes.

“Wha- honey- are yo- are you sure? I’m not sure I’m ready,” Calum replied, his eyes filling with worry. Of course he always wanted kids, but they were only 24 at the time, not even in a house, but a small one bedroom apartment.

“Babe, chill. I’m not talking about a baby, yet. Lets get a dog,” Olivia quipped. She knew Calum has wanted a dog for years, even though he’d never admit it. He looked into Olivia’s eyes, the same green ones he’d fallen for years ago, and smiled.

“Really? Baby, yes, I want to get a dog,” Calum started, but cut himself off. He had been looking at different shelters around the area, and found the cutest mutt he’d ever seen, but had it in his mind that maybe it wasn’t meant to be.

Olivia got up from their bed and left the room, returning a few minutes later with Calum’s laptop. Calum now knew that he was caught, she knew he’d been looking puppies.

“So, Calum, I was on your laptop last week and saw you had this little guy pulled up,” she opened the screen to reveal the fluffy black and white puppy. Calum’s heart swelled just looking at the little pup, he already knew he was in love. “There’s only one problem,” Olivia giggled as she returned to her seat next to Calum. He looked away from the photo of the puppy and faced his wife, face burning with worry. “It says here that his name is Luke. We can’t have a dog with the same name of one of our best friends,” she laughed pointing to where it said the name of the puppy. Calum laughed, knowing she was only half joking.

“Babe, we can always change his name to like- Duke or something,” Calum replied, eyes darting back and forth between the dog and her.

“Why don’t we go see him? I already called the shelter and they gave us an appointment, which is in 30 minutes,” Olivia stated, closing the laptop and standing up from their bed.

What did he do to deserve her?

♠♠♠♠

Calum looked to the ball of fur sleeping at his side. He smiled, as he stroked Duke’s small body. When Calum’s cold hand rubbed against him, Duke began to wake up.

“Hey, buddy,” Calum cooed, as he lifted the pup into his lap. Duke nuzzled himself into Calum’s neck, making Calum’s heart warm. He smiled for the first time in weeks, as he hugged Duke closer to him.

“I still remember the first time I saw you, Duke,” Calum said and he stroked under his chin. Duke looked up as Calum spoke to him, paying close attention, even if he didn’t understand.

“Hi, we’re here for our appointment with... Luke,” Calum spoke to the front desk clerk of the small shelter. As they waited for her to escort them to the playroom, Calum looked around. He’d read that it was a kill shelter, though they were raising money to become no-kill. It made Calum upset, the thought of these poor animals being put down because they didn’t have a family. He’d never admit it, but he was afraid of death. He couldn’t even imagine how a poor animal must feel about it. Cut out of his thoughts, Calum and Olivia were escorted to the playroom where the 8 month old puppy was running around. As soon as his eyes fell upon the mess of black and white fur, he knew it was over, this was the dog for them.

“Hi, baby,” Olivia cooed and she sat down on the little carpet and the small dog ran over to her and jumped into her lap. “Calum,” she whined, “I like him, a lot.”

“I know, babe, I do too,” Calum said as he joined her on the carpet. The small dog looked over and immediately jumped onto Calum. The dogs tail was wagging at a much quicker pace, which Calum knew meant that the dog liked him.

“Oh, my God, he likes you more than me,” Olivia sighed, making Calum smile and he continued to pet the pup.

“Of course he does, we’re both men,” Calum snorted. Olivia slapped his arm and stood up, smiling at the clerk who was still in the room to over watch the meet and greet.

“I think we’re gonna keep him, ma’am,” Olivia softly said. The clerk smiled and asked the couple to follow them so they could fill out the proper paperwork.

“Are you guys keeping his name Luke, or changing it?” the clerk asked. Calum and Olivia knowingly looked at each other.

“Yes, we’re changing his name to Duke. We have a friend named Luke,” Calum tried explaining. He wasn’t sure why he felt the need to explain his reasoning for changing the dog’s name, but it seemed right.

“Okay, if one of you will just sign here, little Duke is all yours,” Olivia picked the pen up and signed her name. Calum smiled and looked down at the new edition to their family.

“Welcome to the Hood family, Duke. You have a family now, buddy” Calum whispered as he cradled Duke in his arms, never being more happy.

♠♠♠♠

“I miss her, bud,” Calum cried softly. Though Duke, now almost 4 years old, could not understand why his best friend was upset, he still attempted to make it better, licking Calum’s salty tears as they ran down this cheeks. He’d never admit it, but Duke reminded him of Olivia everyday. Was it bad that he resented the small dog because he was reminded of the one he lost? Probably.

“You remind me so much of mummy, do you miss her too? Do you miss mummy?” Calum questioned and he cried and hugged Duke closer to him. Duke whined at the mention of Olivia, which made Calum cry even harder. Calum began to rock him and the small dog back and forth.

“I love you so much, buddy. Please never leave me, please.”

a/n: i know this is shorter than the last chapter but i wanted you guys to see the significance of duke!! hope y’all enjoyed, feedback is always welcome!

Well, you should know Vee... I didn't really mean that. I was just demanding you not to protest and let me fill you up with my cum. Pondering if I should keep talking, I decided on doing so.

I'm not... I wouldn't be a good father anyway, not now, never. I don't plan on having kids, they would live a horrible life with me by their side.

Why are you saying that? We never know who-

But I do. Chuckling while putting some soap in my palm and reaching Vee's hair, massaging her scalp, I resumed my sentence.

It's not sad nor pitiful, it's the reality. Maybe I would have been someone worth the shot if you met me years ago, but I'm not anymore. And I'm fine with it too.

Her look gave it away for her, and I smiled before kissing her lips quickly.

Don't look at me like that, Vee. You already got me wrapped around your finger.

True.

Chuckling, I washed her body after applying the soap all over it, and rinsing her hair and her skin with the hot water; I washed my dark hair quickly.

Can you walk? Caressing her naked legs, without lewd intentions, I rested my chin on her shoulder.

I don't think I can go shopping today, Manji'.

Then I'm gonna take you out for dinner. You can consider it a date if you want to.

After drying ourselves with Vee's towels, we lied down on her bed, her between my legs. It was only 5 pm anyway. I called the restaurant to book a table beforehand; it wouldn't be before 9 pm.

What d'you wanna do until the evening?

Vee did look a bit tired and I had something in mind.

We could stay here?

Hmm, I need to run some errands. I'm coming back before 7 pm alright? Sleep a bit if you want baby.

Vee was already half asleep, and I smiled at the sight. Kissing her a few times before heading to the bathroom, I closed the door.

She marked me well, and I snorted at the view. Sanzu would make fun of me tomorrow. Splashing some water on my face, I pulled my gun back in my holster, picked my car key up and left Vee's house.

Instead of going directly to my car, I made a small detour and knocked on her neighbour's door.

Waiting patiently for him to open it, I looked around.

Yes may I help- oh! You're Vee's boyfriend?

Scoffing at him, I clenched my fist.

Vee? Buddy, you just saw me fucking my girl. Don't play innocent with me.

He had a smug smile on his face, probably not aware of what I was actually capable of doing.

Yeah, I did. But I'm sure I could make her cum faster than you, buddy. Relying on the fact that you're not very tall, I doubt you're big anywhere else.

Smiling at him, silence between the two of us, I patted his shoulder.

Yeah look Luke.

It's Paul and-

Punching him in the face, I didn't wait for him to react before throwing another blow, blood already tainting my knuckles. Pulling him to me by the collar and pinning him against the wall, one arm choking him, I took my gun out, pressing the barrel against his head.

Don't tempt me, Luke. You're nice, worrying about Vee's pleasure. But I can assure you I treat my girl well. So good in fact that she even asked for more earlier. Don't push my buttons, yeah?

You're fucking sick.

His nose was bleeding profusely.

I know. You should go to the hospital, your nose must be broken.

Wiping his blood on his shirt, I was about to leave before turning rapidly, something in mind.

Also. Don't call her Vee again.

Whistling on my way to my car and swirling the keys around my index, I checked my fist.

No blood, good.

Checking my GPS, I opened the map while sitting in the driver seat. Starting the engine, after finding what I was looking for, I drove away.

After thirty minutes driving around Tokyo and parking, I entered the shop, the small mewls attracting my attention.

Good afternoon, Mister, what can I do for you?

Hm. I was searching for a pet.

Oh! For you?

No, my girlfriend. Looking around, I couldn't help the small smile and the warm feeling from escaping my body when I saw all the puppies and kittens moving their tails happily at me.

A kitten or a puppy then?

Puppy.

Okay, come with me. After checking the different breeds, I made my choice. This one. Motioning the small dog with my chin, I picked it up, and the puppy was already snuggling close to my neck, small barks coming out from its mouth. Ooh you're cute.

It is isn't it? Your girlfriend will be happy, trust me. Pitbulls are perfect to defend their owner too!

Yeah, whatever, I'm bringing this one with me.

After paying all the charges and filling in all the useless and boring papers required for the transaction, I left the place with the small puppy in my arms. Putting it on my lap, I patted it for a while, smiling a bit.

If Vee doesn't want to keep you, you'll stay with me, buddy.

-Mikey

Mikey put me straight to sleep. I didn’t even realize how tired I was until he gave me room to breathe. I woke up to an empty bed and extremely sore legs. I groaned internally, already knowing I was swollen. Forget shopping— it’d be a miracle if I could even move at all after today.

I certainly wasn’t going to try, staying in bed and cursing Mikey’s name for fucking me (up) like this. All because of a neighbor and his cute little kitten. With nothing to do but lie there and wait for him, I thought back to what he said earlier in the shower. Him not wanting kids didn’t bother me as much as his reasoning did. He truly believed he was cursed. That he couldn’t even dream of having nice things in the future because he didn’t deserve them. I hated that.

I hated it so much tears stung the back of my eyes. I loved Mikey, and I hated that he’d never fully believe he deserved it.

What had broken him?

The thoughts didn’t even have the chance to stay long enough to make me cry, fizzling out the second I heard my door open.

Vee? Mikey’s voice came out distant. He was probably brushing his feet off.

Here! I shouted back, hearing the door click shut. A few minutes later his head popped through the door, a smile on his face as he stared at me.

You haven’t moved since I left?

I just woke up, I defended myself. And don’t laugh it’s your fault I’m so sore. Take responsibility.

I did. S’why I got you something.

I looked at him warily. What is it?

He grinned, standing fully in the doorway now, hands behind his back like he was hiding something. I squinted. Is this a bomb?

Better, he said and brought his hands out to the front of him. I gasped. In his hands was the cutest pit bull puppy I’ve ever seen in my life, light brown coat sleek on their tiny body, and a patch of white on their underbelly. The little fella was licking at Mikey’s hands, tail wagging when he saw me. Bark! First I blinked. Bark! Then I cried.

Manji. I started swiping at my eyes. You’re not pranking me right? You’re serious?

He nodded and I just started crying when he held his hands out and allowed me to take the puppy from him. The baby (which I quickly found out was a boy) was super affectionate, squirming all in my hands trying to lick me. I laughed through tears as his tongue reached all across my cheek, all while Mikey watched us with a smile on his.

The Dealer~chapter13~Calum Hood

*I have no idea where chapter 13 went so I’m reposting*

THE DEALER

CHAPTER 13

JAYDE P.O.V

30 WEEKS PREGNANT

I was ten weeks away from giving birth, if I made it to my due date that is. Lately my stomach had been killing me and it felt as if it couldn't get any bigger. I had called my doctor thinking I had gone into labor but she assured that it was just braxton hicks. They were pretty painful.

Today was my baby shower and I would be making the trip to my sisters house where she decided the party would be. I didn't really need anymore things but she insisted that we have one. I wasn't going to stop her.

I got there early to help her set things up but of course she wouldn't let me.

"Do you have names pick out?" She asked standing in front of me with her hands on my stomach.

"I do, yeah." I smiled. "I'm not telling you." I added leaning over to grab my water. "I've been debating about three names." I confirmed. I was most likely going to pick it once she was born. Once I see her I think it'll be easier to pick her name.

"You're seriously not going to tell me?" She asked.

"Seriously."

"Hello!" Mom shouted coming into the house with dad behind her. "Look how much my granddaughter has grown." Mom said resting her hands on my belly and smiling. I was so thankfully that finally she came around to the fact that I was pregnant.

"She's huge." I laughed. "I love her." I smiled. "So, what type of food are we having?" I questioned.

"Pasta, salad, garlic bread." Julia answered. "It's the oven." She said and I leaned over slightly, as much as my belly would allow, and glanced at it. It was covered but I wanted it. "Don't touch it!" She said from where she was hanging decorations in the living room.

"So Jules, when are you gonna have a baby?" Dad asked her as he held the tape. I moved closer to them to hear what she had to say.

"Probably not for another year. Nick just got a new job." She answered taking a piece of tape from him. Mali-Koa and Joy showed up next and were more than excited about being apart of this.

"Is Calum here?" Joy asked.

"Uh, no. I haven't talked to him in weeks." I commented looking at the cake that was sitting on the kitchen table.

"Oh." She said a little confused but I knew she wasn't going to question it. Not today. Guests started to arrive and I was so excited to see everyone. Tons of people from my office came, even Ashton came which I was surprised about.

"Hey." He smiled resting his hand on my back and kissing my cheek.

"Hi. How are you?" I asked smiling. "Did Calum come with you?" I asked.

"No. He's at home." I nodded. "Are you excited for her arrival?" He asked.

"Super excited." I smiled. "Her room is almost finished and then everything will be all set for her to come."

"Do you need help building anything?" He asked.

"I think I'm good. Luke built everything. Everything else is pretty easy." I answered. "But if you could come over after this to help me carry the presents upstairs that would be awesome."

"Of course. Whatever I can do to help." He answered. We both went to get food and then sat down together. It was a nice day out and since I sweating we sat outside. "What's it like? Being pregnant?" He asked.

"Why are you pregnant?" I asked laughing.

"Just curious." He shrugged.

"It's strange. Like theres a person growing inside of me. Feeling her kick is the strangest thing in the world." I looked down at my stomach. I was wearing a pink flowing dress but could still see my stomach move as she kicked me. "I'm gonna have a baby soon." I said.

"Yeah." He laughed. "You're gonna be a mom." He said. "That's crazy."

"Do you wanna be a dad some day?" I questioned as I sat back after I was finished eating.

"Yeah. Of course I do. Now isn't the time." He answered. " Don't think my girl would be down to have a kid right now either." I nodded.

"It happens on accident sometimes you know." I said. "I didn't do it on purpose."

"I don't think you did it on purpose." He said looking at me even though I couldn't see his eyes through his sunglasses. "Who thinks you did it on purpose?"

"Calum." I answered. He sighed and sat back and crossed his arms. "It's annoying. I'm sorry. I'll stop."

"That's not why he isn't talking to you." He blurted.

"You know why he isn't talking to me?" I asked. "Did I do something?"

"No. He didn't tell me why. You didn't do anything." I rested my hands on my belly and sighed. "Just give him time."

"How much more time am I suppose to give him Ashton? It's been three weeks!" I raised my voice.

"Jayde, just... Let him be." He answered standing up. "I'm gonna go. I'll meet you at your apartment at 6." He said before leaving. I took care of our plates and walked inside.

"Do you wanna open presents?" Julia asked.

"Sure." I smiled maybe that would cheer me up. Seeing the clothes and other things for my little girl. I walked passed a table and looked down at it. "What's this?" I asked.

"Oh. That's a calendar. People wrote down their guess and then put a bet in this jar. Whoever gets the closets wins the money." Julia said. "And this is a list of names." I lifted it and looked at it.

"One of the names I picked is on here." I commented.

"Which one?" She asked.

"Nice try." I smiled and continued into the living room to open the gifts. It mostly consisted of clothes, books, diapers, bath things (which thank god because I didn't have anything for bath time), and toys. I was so thankful for the people around me who wanted to make this day special.

*CALUM P.O.V*

I was still debating if I should change my name and move states. Start all over. Clean slate. Ashton changed my mind. No matter what I've done wrong in this world, Ashton has always been there to remind me that I have someone to talk to.

"Dude." Ashton busted into my room. "Just call her."

"I need time." He sighed. I knew he was dealing with both of us annoying him but he as going to need to put up with it a little longer. "If she calls again just tell her I left. Make her believe that I'm not here anymore." He shook his head and closed his eyes.

"Her baby shower was today. I went." He commented.

"Oh. So obviously she asked about me." He nodded sitting down on the chair at my desk. "What did you tell her?"

"That you needed time. Also told her that I would go over later to help her with the baby things."

"What no." I said.

"What do you mean no?"

"I mean why are you helping her? You're suppose to be on my side."

"Your side? Your side about what?" He asked. "It's not like you got into a huge fight over who is right and wrong." He commented. "Calum, she's carrying your baby whether you like it or not. If you don't want to be apart of that, just tell her."

"How do I possibly tell her that?" I asked.

"See, I can't give you advice because if a girl ever came to me and said she was pregnant, I would just dump her." He answered standing up. "Stand up and be a god damn man." He answered. His phone rang a few minutes later. "Hi, Jayde." He looked at me. "Are you sure? It's no trouble for me to come by."

I rolled my eyes. He was seriously going to go over there?

"Alright well let me know if you need anything." He sighed. "Bye." He sat back down looking at me. "I'll support you through this but I'm also going to support her."

*JAYDE P.O.V*

I was able to get everything into the apartment myself, with a few trips. Of course I had to sit and rest in between the trips but I made it. The apartment was overflowing with baby things. I didn't have room for all of these things. I had the diapers stacked in the closet in the hallway. I needed to get a bookcase for all of the books. I didn't realize I was going to get so many.

I stood back and held my hands to my hips.

"What the hell am I going to do with this?" I asked out loud. Not that anyone was going to answer me back. "Oi." I sat down on the floor and started folding laundry. My life was crazy right now.

I hummed as I folded and organized things. The baby made herself known and I smiled.

"Hi, baby." I said rubbing where she kicked. "So close to meeting you." I smiled as she kicked my hand. "I think I have your name picked out."

"Mae." I said and there was no movement. "Awe. Is that a no?" I pouted. I guess I wasn't going to go with that. I had two other names picked out.

"Violet?" She kicked me making me smile. I guess I was going with Violet Mae. I had a neighbor when I was in high school and her name was Mae and she was the cutest little girl I'd ever seen. Violet Mae Mills. I am so excited to meet you.

Pictures of Love (Peter Parker)

Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader

Warning: None

Summary: Peter and Y/N have been friends since they were children and as kids, used to childishly flirt with one another all the time until one day, Peter stopped and so did Y/n. Y/N doesn’t realize it until one day looking through old home movies with Aunt May.

Author: Dizzy

A/N: This is just a fluffy little fic I thought up. I hope you like it!

Masterlist Request Any Of These

“Aw, May! I can’t believe you found these!” You cried as you held the old VHS tapes in your hands, each one labeled with a different point in Peter's life, some titles including your own name. "We have to watch some of these."

"I was thinking since you're staying over, you, Peter and I could watch the ones you're in. You know, reminisce in the old days."

"May, I would love that." You replied, running your finger along the edge on the tapes, bringing back memories of Peter's aunt and uncle running around with the camera following you two. "Peter! Hurry up, you slow poke!"

"Okay, okay! I'm coming! Jeez, Y/n, you can't rush perfection." Peter stated, waltzing into the room with a bowl of popcorn in hand.

He set the bowl down in front of you and May, who quickly took pieces of the snack as if they'd waited an eternity to eat.

"So much for perfection," You said. "it's a little too salty."

May laughed. "Agreed. Now, Y/n, would you like to do the honors and pick out a video?"

"Gladly!" You chirped, leaning forward and finding a tape that caught your eye when you looked through them earlier.

You picked out the tape marked "Peter and Y/n at the park, age 4" and rose from your seat to put the tape into the player before sitting back down, leaning into Peter, who wrapped an arm around your shoulder and pulled you close.

"Mr. Ben!" Your little voice rang from the tv speakers as your childish grin appeared on the screen. "Watch me do a sumsault!"

Ben's laughter erupted from the speaker as he focused the camera to show your whole body. "It's called a somersault, honey. But, I'm watching you, okay?"

"Okay!" You cried before you got down in the grass and did a somersault. "Mr. Ben, where's Peter?"

The camera changed focus from you to the surrounding areas, in search of little Peter. It finally found him sitting in a patch of grass surrounded by flowers as he picked a bright purple one.

Peter rose from his spot on the ground, the flower in his little grip as he carefully walked around the other flowers and towards you.

The camera then followed Peter on his walk from the patch he sat in to you while you sat in the grass, watching him approach you.

Peter threw his arm before him, pushing the flower into your face.

"Pretty!" you said cheerfully as Peter waddled uncomfortably.

"It's for you!" Little Peter cried, pushing the flower into your face further.

You plucked the flower from his hand and gave him a confused look as he giggled.

"I'll get you more!" He shouted before running off as you looked into the camera before the picture cut out.

"Aw!" May squealed. "You two were so cute!"

"I'm pretty sure Y/n was cuter." Peter stated, smiling over at you.

You rolled your eyes playfully as you released yourself from his hold and changed the tape. Your heart swelled as your mind replayed Peter's compliment and his gift giving in the video.

You had always has a crush on Peter, even back then when you didn't really know what a crush was, or how one would show that they had one.

And Peter, well, Peter had a crush on you too. He always had. Even when you hesitated to accept his flowers or the compliments he'd throw your way. Even as children, he was head over heels for his best friend.

"I was such a dork. I know I was literally four, but man, I was a little weirdo."

You had to admit, Peter with his little flowers was the cutest thing you'd seen in a long time. You thought it was sweet that he had tried to impress your little self with plants.

It was undeniable, from the very start, it seemed as though you and Peter were made for one another.

But, it seemed like all a cruel joke to you since Peter always seemed to be thinking about your friend, Liz. Always a boy with his head in the clouds as he talked to Ned about the girl he thought was beautiful.

"Peter!" You little voice called out for your best friend.

"What, bug?! I'm standing right next to you!"

You and Peter were about six years old, in costumes of your favorite super heroes. You, being Captain America and Peter being Iron Man.

You laughed as you watched the two of you on the tv screen before you glanced over at Peter, who's arm was up around your shoulders again as he chuckled at the sight of you two.

"Peter, why do you call Y/n bug?" May' s voice came through the speakers, dripping of kindness as sweet as honey while Ben focused the camera on Peter.

"Be-because Y/n l-likes lady bugs and she likes pretty flowers and s-she is my best friend! A-and she's pretty like lady bugs and you, Aunt May!" Peter stammered as he spit out the thought out explanation, like it was a secret he didn't want to tell.

It was then that you made a small squeaking sound and threw your arm's around Peter's neck, catching the little boy off guard.

"Thank you, Peter!" You cried out shaking the boy as you hugged him and placed a kiss on his cheek with a quiet smack.

Peter let out an audible gasp before pushing you away from him.

"Bug! That's gross! You have cooties!" Peter cried out, wiping off the wet spot on his face as May scolded him for being rude.

That's when the screen went out before it showed you and Peter tucked in Peter's bed, holding one another as you slept soundly with light snores echoing the room. The screen went black once again.

You looked over at Aunt May, who had fallen asleep on the edge of the couch as you gazed up at Peter, your arm draped over his waist and his arm around yours. You didn't hesitate as you pressed a kiss to his cheek.

Peter tensed as he froze for a moment. His cheeks heated up as he bit back a smile before looking at you.

"I would yell that you have cooties, but I'll refrain from doing so." He whispered into your ear.

The close proximity of Peter's warm breath on your cold neck and his words set your skin on fire as you playfully pushed him in an attempt to ease the tension you felt.

"Just go put another tape in." You muttered.

"As you wish." Peter replied before he pressed a quick kiss to your cheek and got up from next to you.

Peter, in all the time you'd been friends, had never kissed you on the cheek. Nor, had he ever crossed the line between platonic action and romantic difference.

It was an odd and new sensation you felt giddy about.

Yes, you had been kissed on the cheek by other boys, but it hadn't felt the same as Peter's kiss had. It was different, new and it made you feel as though you were on cloud nine.

Peter plopped down on the seat next to you as you changed position and laid your legs on him as you leaned back on the arm of the chair. Peter ran his fingers along the lining of your pajama pants as the screen came to life.

"Here, bug!" Little Peter cried, holding a ring pop out to your six year old self.

"A ring pop?! Thank you, Peter!"

You took the ring pop from him and placed it on your ring finger, admiring the blue candy jewel that sat on yellow plastic.

"We're married now!" Peter hollered before looking at the camera. "That was an epic wedding, right, Uncle Ben?"

"The most epic, Peter." Ben chuckled. "But Y/n is supposed to know when you're going to be married. You have to ask if she wants to be."

Peter then turned to you and smiled before speaking up. "Bug, do you wanna be married to me?"

You titled your head in confusion as you tugged at your "Save Ferris" t shirt.

"What does that mean, Peter?"

"What does what mean? Married?"

"Yeah!"

Peter looked at the camera, or the man behind the camera in an unsure manner before he let his eyes gaze back at you.

"Well, i-it it means th-that we share out candy and then w-we hold hands when it's c-cold!"

"Then, I wanna be married!" You announced before you threw your arms around him and hugged him tight.

The camera went out before it unleashed a picture of you and Peter in your playhouse.

"What are you guys doing?" It was May behind the camera now as she bent down and watched you two play.

"We're playing house!" You announced, your ring pop no longer had a jewel on it, but a bit of a slobbering mess.

"Uh huh!" Peter agreed. "Bug is the mommy and I'm the daddy."

"And these are our babies." You held up two of your dolls. "Nikin and Luke!"

"It's Anakin, bug." Peter corrected. "I named them, Aunt May."

"Yeah, Ms. May, Peter named them after the guys in Star Wars."

"It was better than the names bug wanted." Peter added.

"What did you want to name them, sweetie?" May asked you.

"Ferris and Ducky! Like those people in the movies my mom and I watch." You explained. "But, I let Peter name the babies cause I like him. But it's a secret Ms. May, so shh."

You pressed a finger to your lips as you shushed May.

"I can hear you, bug." Peter said, not looking up from the play kitchen.

"No you can't!" You snapped. "Cause I didn't say anything!"

Then the screen went out and the tape was over.

You took a glance at the clock and then at Peter before you rose from your seat.

"We should probably go to bed. It's late." You stated as you turned on your heel and started to walk to Peter's room.

"I'll meet you in the room. I've got to get Aunt May to bed."

You signed as you closed the door behind you and leaned up against it. Your mind was going crazy with all the memories of you and Peter and all the feelings you've felt for him being recorded in home videos.

It wasn't until now that you realized Peter has feelings for you when you were kids, but there was no way he liked you now. Every time Peter's eyes started to wander the lunch room, they weren't looking for you, they were looking at your friend, Liz.

You took a seat on the bed as Peter walked in, his camera in hand.

"What's with the camera?" You asked.

"I thought we could add some new memories to the home movies."

"So you want to video tape me going to bed?" You asked, the camera capturing the confused look on your face.

"No, there was something else I wanted to tape." Peter said. "Do you want to go out with me?"

"What? Are you messing with me?"

"Um, no? Bug, I love you. I always have. I just want you to know that and I want you to be my girlfriend because you've always been there for me from the start."

"Oh, Peter. Of course I'll go out with you." You stated as Peter turned the camera tho face him.

You got up and stood before him as he positioned the camera to face the two of you. You looked into the lens. "You probably don't want to see this." You said before covering the lens with your hand and kissing Peter with as much passion as he had when he picked that people flower so long ago.

When We Collide (Part 14)

Pairing: Assistant!Y/N/CEO!Luke

Rating: NC-17

Parts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13

Summary: He is the definition of high class smart ass, swimming in Dom Pierre Pérignon champagne and has never seen the shadow of poverty. She is underprivileged, lives in a messy dorm room on sale and struggles working as an assistant after being thrown out of college. But how will they collide when Luke makes Y/N pregnant after a drunkenly one night stand?

When We Collide on Wattpad

“Cutest couple in Hollywood? My ass!” You commented loudly and looked down at the magazine in your hands, you wondered why you had even decided to invest money in it in the first place.

Your feet were resting on top of your desk while the icon of Tetris was still on your computer screen, but it was paused and your full attention was on the large front page in front of you.

“It’s all just a freaking joke.” You leaned over to grab your mug to take a sip of your almost cold tea, it had been standing there for too long and definitely not helping on your angry mood.

In your hands was the newest best selling gossip magazine out in the news with a front page of yet another new famous Hollywood couple. Though, this time it wasn’t just a random pair of people you would never get the chance to meet, no this was one with Luke and Holly.

“Why are they even getting this much attention...” You shook your head in disbelief and ran a hand through your hair, deciding to let it stay and rest.

“They most probably paid the photographer after I left. And five pages to read about them? They’re barely a thing, which author did they hire to come up with all of this crap?”

You were rambling loudly to no one in particular, the only respond you got was from the cars coming from many floors down. You were sitting alone but in your head you were having a discussion with three different sides of you at once.

Licking your finger to go through the sides easily you roamed through the magazine until you came to page 14 with Luke and Holly, seeing a few more pictures where you were also visible in the background.

“They could have least shown some respect in case I didn’t want my face in the interview I mean look at me!” You moved the page closer to your face, furrowing your eyebrows because that picture was horrible.

“I look like I was seeing a ghost.”

Falling back to your chair you folded the magazine together and threw it to the end of the table. You didn’t want to read about the fake imagination, it was enough that they were official and public now because no matter where you went Holly would be right in your heels.

It was as if she assumed that now she was in a relationship with Luke she was also allowed to use your assistant as a benefit. If you thought serving for Luke was horrible it was nothing compared to her.

But what could you say? You needed the money and you still had a bit of tolerance to keep your head up and push all the angry emotions away.

At least she was so dumb she barely heard anything every time you insulted her either indirectly or through sarcasm.

It had just been one of those days this morning when you woke up. Nothing seems to work out, you had horrible pain in your shoulders because you couldn’t find the right position to sleep in and the water had out of order this morning meaning that it was cold as hell and not able to use.

And without the chance to get some coffee it was clear shown on your face you were cranky. Not even Nicole had said hello, it was like she could spot your angry morning face with her back facing you.

It was a good thing you weren’t doing much today. Answering a few mails for Luke, checking his bank account to make sure his savings were alright and just simple checks like you always did.

Or, more likely now trying to beat your high-score in Tetris.

Concentration wasn’t really your best thing and when things got boring you needed something else to take your mind off. And it wasn’t like you were allowed to leave unless you needed to go to the bathroom or check something with another colleague.

“Y/N, have they called?” Luke suddenly said and grabbed your attention from the entrance to his office.

“Who?” You questioned confused and quickly moved your mouse so it could show something else on the screen and not spoiling your lack of dedication to the work.

“I already beat your high-score so there’s nothing to come for.” He replied fast like it was nothing and nodded his head towards your screen that now had closed down the Tetris game and he took the small walk around your table.

“I’ve been waiting for a very important phone call-, Oh would you look at that!” The subject was quickly changed once he noticed the magazine of himself resting on your desk.

You rolled your eyes and fell back in your chair by his lack of situation awareness. He was almost looking down at the magazine in awe, there was no doubt who he had eyes for the most.

“Don’t I look good?” He questioned and lifted up the magazine so it was right in front of his face to match.

“Isn’t your nose photo-shopped?” You asked almost in a mumbled and saw your reflection in the mirror of your computer.

“Photo-shopped?” He suddenly had fright in his eyes and looked back at the magazine. His fingers came up to touch his nose as if he had forgotten it was there and his lips parted.

“I’m just kidding?” You said like it was obvious, you were in disbelief that he hadn’t caught onto that yet.

“Oh yes, of course.” He mumbled and placed the magazine back on the table after taking one last look at his face.

“So have you seen? All the magazines look like this and not only because I’ve sponsored half of them. It’s literally everywhere, isn't it fucking amazing?”

“Yes, bloody amazing. I’m so rooting for you.” You gave him a smirk that was clearly sarcastic but he didn’t seem to mind and shrugged it off. Even if he had left the magazine in his hands he was still looking at it for dear life.

“Where is the sunshine now that we’re talking about her?” You asked seconds later, it was a nice feeling for once.

Your office wasn’t smelling of too much perfumed hairspray and nail polish. Not to mention that she didn’t really have her own place to stay at, she wasn’t assigned an office and when Luke had meetings the only place she could be was at yours.

“She’s out getting food. I could have forced you to it but she said she needed a walk. Something about wanting a new Marc Jacobs Carolyn Crocodile Handbag...” He almost gave you a glare and you furrowed your eyebrows.

“How many times have I said sorry? Out of all people you should be the one to get it!” You exclaimed and sat up in the chair so you weren't’ so pushed down.

“How should I be able to understand? You know how much that costs? More than you will ever own in your life, Y/N!” He grabbed the magazine again just so he could touch something, it helped him thinking.

“Because I’m pregnant, Luke? Are you still living in fantasy and not in the so called world of reality?” You almost spat, you couldn’t believe how he was still acting like this.

“Oh I am living in the world of reality!” He widened his eyes and nodded his head in agreement, “We just see reality with two different meanings! I’ve got so many things to focus on right now and to be honest I don’t know anything about this pregnancy stuff!”

“Well maybe you should!” Now you stood up from your chair just to prove how frustrated you were getting.

“Maybe you should just take one day out of your week to figure out what is going on? To see how things will change from day to day because every day I’m somehow a new person, I react differently and everything around me is different!”

“Have you gotten your coffee this morning or did someone piss on your toast?” He ignored everything you said and crossed his arms like he had been shutting his hearing off just for a second.

“Are you joking?” You asked and wanted to pull out strands of your hair.

“I’m not allowed to drink coffee with caffeine because it’s not healthy for the baby and last time I checked I have to be very careful with everything I do because by the smallest mistake I can lose everything!”

“Oh sorry I’m not keeping up with pregnancy errors!” He yelled back and loosened the tie around his neck.

“i just don't have the time to do it Y/N! I have a lot of things going on and you know that, you know how pressed my schedule is hell you’re even the one who makes it every week! I don’t have the time to invest time in keeping up with this baby and as I said it’s your thing! We agreed to have it, yes, but I only did it for you! That doesn’t mean that I have to keep up with it every single day because we’re not that close anyways! I mean, we’re boss and assistant it’s not like I would eat pizza with you and talk about the deeper side of life!”

Silence fell upon the room after his little speech, he was breathing violently but you could tell a bit of him seemed relieved. As if he had been carrying around with the words on his chest and now he finally got to say them.

“I uh-,” You mumbled confused and fell back in your chair feeling totally defeated.

“I just thought there was more to it that’s all.”

He didn't look at you, his eyes were adverted to his feet. You could see he was clenching his jaw, you weren’t sure if he had regretted saying it but it was Luke.

He never regretted anything he did.

“You don’t care about any of this, do you? You don’t want to know anything about this baby?” You grabbed onto one of your pencils just to check if you were shaking or if it was just something you were feeling.

“You don't want to know anything about me?”

It was a wave of many emotions hitting you at once. You could feel it, it was ready to explore and being shown on your whole body but you kept it in. It was hard, the hormones were trying to find a loophole but you kept it all in.

“It’s just how it is... I don’t see us work together when it comes to the befriending part. We’re just too different.” Luke said as his finals words and looked down at you with his baby blue eyes.

But even if you could compare them to so many great things in life, they were nothing else but cold and filled with nothing. You weren’t sure if it was even him speaking, with all this work sometimes he would turn into someone that was barely human.

That was what the business was doing to you. With all the hard work, with all the stress and anything else it offered you would slowly be losing yourself. You could feel it by just being an assistant and to imagine what he would be going through, it would be something way else.

But it was scary, there was no doubt.

“You know different is good sometimes? Being polar opposites?” You questioned almost in a whisper but he heard you loud and clearly.

A phone-call was what saved him for an answer. To be honest you barely wanted to hear what he had to say, when he was in this mood it wasn’t possible to get to him without talking to what you could compare to a door.

“Luke Hemmings’ Office. What may I help you with?” Your eyes were still locked with his as you answered the phone, a knot in your stomach forming.

“Yes, he’s available right now. I’ll let you in.” You mumbled the last part and pressed on the button that allowed whoever called to get inside, and you almost smacked the phone back on its stand.

“Who’s coming?” He asked in a calm tone.

“I should be the one to ask that.” You answered his question and crossed your arms, the guy in the phone didn’t sound familiar and since you weren’t aware of who he was talking about before you assumed he already knew and was prepared.

Luke sighed and ran a hand through his hair right in time as the door opened.

Inside came one guy in a nice suit along with two bodyguards from behind. Along with that were two others standing by the door, one of them being Ashton and he smiled softly when seeing your face.

“Luke Hemmings, my man.” The man announced, his hair red and pulled back into a small bun.

“Zachary Jensen, king of the diamonds.” Luke smiled and shook his hand followed by a manly hug.

“Not literally, but close enough.” Zachary winked and had a dry laugh afterwards, you assumed it was from too many cigarettes and cigars. Which was kind of weird considering he looked healthy.

Must have been Botox from an early age.

“Hello precious.” Your eyes widened when he politely leaned over to take your hand and kissed the back of it.

“Thanks for letting us in.” He winked again.

You wanted to stammer ‘You’re welcome’, or something along the lines of that but you only managed to choke on your salvia and nod your head in agreement. It was too weird, sometimes you wished you could confront Luke and tell him that he needed a new pair of friends.

“Now should we talk diamonds!” Zachary announced and waved for one of the bodyguards to come, he had a black box in his hand that looked rather fancy and secret.

“Of course. Let’s go inside.” Luke nodded is head in agreement and opened the door to his office, letting Zachary in first.

“Y/N if someone calls or requires my attention please do inform I’m in a very busy meeting right not and not available for service.” He looked over at you to see you nod in understanding and agreement.

“I will do.” You said like you couldn’t care less and lifted up the phone so nobody were able to call it if they wanted.

You could tell by the expression on his face that now wasn’t the time to joke but he nodded his head in satisfaction and closed the door. Not that you couldn't see anything inside, it was full on glass doors that had recently been cleaned.

You had suddenly no idea what to do, you couldn’t play Tetris because there was a security guard standing in front of the door to Luke’s office and because you couldn’t call him for direction you were stuck with nothing.

“Looks like a busy day for you.” Ashton commented from your behind and placed his hand on top of your chair.

“You tell me?” You sighed and leaned back to look up at him with a small pout.

“Do you mind?” He asked politely and pointed towards the chair that was placed in front of your desk.

“Well if you’ve got some sort of protection in case I vomit or spill my food on your clothes again I’d say yes.” You ironically said, you were so emotionally disturbed you didn't even care about the embarrassment from before.

It wouldn't surprise you if you did it again. If you made a fool of yourself and once again hear him say that it would be alright because you could not avoid being clumsy around him.

It was the weird affection he had on you.

“Here.” He leaned over to take the basket that was on your desk, not that it had anything in it you had just bought it for decoration from IKEA.

“You think that will help” He moved it in front of his face just to make sure nothing would happen and to be honest he looked so stupid you couldn’t avoid laughing.

“I won’t do anything this time I promise.” You said and leaned over to remove the basket from his head, or at least that was what you were hoping for.

He nodded his head in agreement and laughed quietly. He was so easy to read, you could just tell how comfortable he was. The way he was around you, the smile he had on his face, like come on twice you had done something that normally would scare people off.

“How are you like this?” You asked with a soft tone, feeling a little bit dazed but it wasn’t because you were feeling bad or anything.

“Like what?” He smiled back and fiddled with the batch in his belt.

“Like you can take on the world no matter what you do? You’re so carefree, you don’t seem to be scared of anything that could possibly hurt or ruin you. How do you do that? I barely feel like I know you yet I feel like I do.”

He smiled as if it wasn’t the first time he had been asked this and he placed fish hands on top of your desk with his fingers fiddled together.

“I guess that’s just a part of who I am.” He shrugged but still had the warm smile on his face and fiddled with one of the pens on your table.

“I go through one day at the time. I’m not in a rush and very open-minded for everyone around me.”

“That’s a great skill.” You nodded and you actually felt a little bit jealous but it wasn’t in a bad way. You wished you saw life from same perspective as him.

“You want to?” He asked and you furrowed your eyebrows.

“Want to what?” You answered his question with a question.

“Get to know me. And not just the side of me that constantly says it’s alright when you spill on my clothes.”

“I uh-,” You nervously fiddled with whatever you could take in your hands just to look down at it instead of him, your cheeks were turning red but you were still giggling by his kindness.

“I’d really like that.” You agreed with a nod.

“That’s great? I’m not sure about you but I’m actually off as long as they’re in a meeting how about you take a small break yourself? You look like someone who could need it.”

He didn’t say it as if he was being offending, it was just an observation. You understood, when you looked into your reflection you looked like someone who could sleep any minute from now.

When you nodded a bigger smile broke onto his face and he moved his chair closer to the desk.

“Great I know this place a few streets away that serves the best coffee ever.”

“Coffee?” You almost asked in defeat, you didn’t want so sound like it was a bad idea but truth was, it was a bad idea.

“Coffee?” He repeated the way you had been saying it like it was something bad and he furrowed his eyebrows.

“Oh, you don’t drink coffee?”

“It’s not that...” You mumbled, feeling your heart start to race, “Ashton there’s something I need to tell you before we start all of this. After, you can announce whether you actually want to get to know me or not.”

“Sure, okay.” Ashton nodded his head in understanding, furrowing his eyebrows preparing for what you had to say.

“I’m uh-,” You hesitated whether you should say it or not and bit down on your lips harshly.

“I’m pregnant.”

“You’re... Pregnant?” He stayed put in his position but you could tell so many thoughts were racing in his mind at once. His eyes had also grown in size, but he wasn’t looking completely shocked. Probably more frozen in his spot.

You hesitantly looked back at your desk not really knowing how to explain any further. Maybe he didn’t want to know anymore and want to leave.

“You’re pregnant.” He said more in a statement and looked over at you with his lips parted.

“That kind of makes sense considering the throwing up and that.” He scratched his stubble chin and furrowed his eyebrows by thinking the scenarios over again.

“Yeah uh-, I had morning sickness.” You stammered nervously and looked down at your thighs.

“But we were drinking champagne?” He suddenly remembered and looked at you curiously.

“No actually you were the one drinking champagne. I just politely took it and spit out the small sip I took like everyone else.” You explained and watched is face turn into wonder.

“Well that also makes sense then.” He leaned back in his chair and looked less confused than before but it was also hard to answer to many things at once.

“So you’re a married woman?” He asked after some thinking and your eyes widened.

“Oh no no no, I’m uh-, I’m not together with the father. It’s all just really hard to explain I know and I understand if you don’t want anything to do with me. It must be hard already but I just thought I’d let you know.”

You nervously looked down at the desk, you didn’t want to see his expression. You could already imagine him leave the table wanting to get away as quick as possible.

“Well that’s something got take in.” He announced and ran a hand through his curly hair.”

“Yeah I know it’s just... Complicated.” You whispered the last part and let the silence take over the room to let him think. You almost regretted telling him but he was better off with the news instead of being played with and suddenly surprised by everything.

“Juice?” He suddenly blurted, his eyes a bit wide from all the news but you didn’t blame him.

“Juice?” You questioned back and realized that it was actually a new suggestion of his.

“I like juice.”

“I think we just found the first thing we have in common.” He smiled and stood up from his chair with an inviting hand.

You looked up at him unsure if it was what he actually wanted but when he nodded his head in agreement you couldn’t do anything else but giggle and feel your stomach erupt with butterflies.

“Juice it is then.”

'Dancing With the Stars' Season 24 Preview: Best Team Names, Elimination Predictions and More!

brightcove

Dancing With the Stars fans, are you ready for an all-new season?

Ahead of Monday's premiere, airing at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, ET's filling you in on everything you need to know about what to expect from season 24. From what's been happening in rehearsals to who has the best team names, we've got you covered.

WATCH: 'Dancing With the Stars' First Dances Revealed -- Here's How Each Contestant Feels About Them!

So from the time the dance pros find out which celebrity they're paired with to actual show day, what exactly happens? ET caught up with Witney Carson last Friday, who broke it all down for us!

"We'll actually start rehearsing about three weeks prior to the premiere date, and that is usually a little sporadic," she explained. "Usually [the stars] are still traveling and trying to get their schedules cleared so they can be available. But for the most part, we practice every day for 4-5 hours, and a lot of that is getting to know each other, finding their music, learning their likes and dislikes, getting to know their personality and what they're OK to do, finding their strengths and weaknesses."

"A LOT goes into these practices because we really need to gauge, as choreographers, what we can do to make them look the best, and what we need to stay away from," she continued. "It's a lot of test and trial, and a lot of just teaching them basic techniques so they're ready for when we go into the season, [when] we only have four days to teach them the routine. It's really important for us to get the groundwork started beforehand. So, those three weeks are really crucial for us. I don't know how we would do [it] if we didn't have those weeks."

BREAKING DOWN THE HOT PAIRS

Fans of the show have known for a while now whose competing with who for the coveted mirror ball trophy, but what are the stars really like in rehearsals when the cameras aren't rolling? Well, we got the scoop!

Mr. T & Kym Herjavec

The nostalgia factor will be way turned up when Mr. T and two-time mirror ball champion Kym Cha Cha to the theme from The A-Team on Monday night. But the real reason the retired professional wrestler has already won our hearts is his enthusiasm for the show. Mr. T has tweeted about his DWTS journey 35 times (and counting!) since the cast was announced earlier this month, gushing about the other contestants and thanking the fans for their support. Here are some of our favorites:

Fun fact: Mr. T is this season's oldest male contestant. His 65th birthday is on Tuesday, just one day after the season premiere.

Bonner Bolton & Sharna Burgess

The professional bull rider and red-headed beauty are going country for week No. 1! Although choosing their team name, DenimNDiamonds, was fairly easy (Sharna told ET last week that it was Bonner who came up with the name), selecting a country tune proved to be a bit more challenging.

Sharna said she actually reached out to her season 20 partner, Noah Galloway, for song suggestions via text. In the end, the team chose "Move" by Luke Bryan, which they'll Cha Cha to. "I love country ballads because I think they’re some of the most incredible romantic songs in the world, [but] rock 'n' roll country, I've never done a Cha Cha to in my life," Sharna explained, teasing the choreography will be sexy. "There's probably going to be a twelve-pack in there somewhere."

Fun fact: Bonner, 29, has always been a real cowboy. He was raised on a ranch in West Texas, and his father was a rodeo cowboy for nearly 20 years. Like Sharna's partner last season, James Hinchcliffe, Bonner also suffered a near-fatal injury after being bucked off the back of a bull in January 2016.

Heather Morris & Maksim Chmerkovskiy

With no elimination during the first week of the competition, this talented pair is already looking ahead to week No. 2 and Heather's most feared dance, the jive.

"I know it's supposed to be fun, but I'm nervous about it," the former Glee star admitted to ET when we visited the pair during rehearsals last week. "I'm going to work my [butt] off to get it done, but it's going to be hard."

For their first piece of choreography, Heather and Maks are taking on the Viennese Waltz, which the pro dancer describes as a "safe choice" to ease them into the competition. Because Heather already has prior dance experience (she's performed with Beyoncé!), they've been focusing their rehearsals on turning her into a ballroom dancer by breaking old jazz habits that don't pertain to this style.

Fun fact: Heather and Maks are both parents. Heather shares two kids, Elijah, 3, and Owen, 1, with husband Taylor Hubbel, and Maks just welcomed his first child, son Shai, with fellow pro dancer Peta Murgatoryd two months ago.

Chris Kattan & Witney Carson

According to Witney, the Saturday Night Live veteran is up for anything -- including the sparkles! "He's pretty fearless," the blond beauty told ET. "There's nothing he's really said 'no' to."

Witney also revealed that Chris has been a longtime fan of DWTS, explaining just how hard he's been working to get ready for their Cha Cha to Haddaway's "What Is Love." But even Witney was surprised by how far the A Night at the Roxbury star's enthusiasm for the show goes.

"I put him in this just plain suit this week -- it's really normal," she said. "And I thought he'd be happy, but he was kind of a little disappointed. He wanted more of the bling, and a little more pizzazz. I was like, 'Wow, I don't think I've ever had a guy celebrity tell me that before.' It's very rare. He's ready to go full-force with it all."

Fun fact: Chris was super pumped when he found out he was paired with Witney. He's been cheering her on for a long time, and even talked to her about watching her season 19 journey, in which she took home the mirror ball trophy with Alfonso Ribeiro.

Charo & Keo Motsepe

At 66 years old, Charo is this season's oldest competitor, but you wouldn't know that from her dance moves. The famous international actress and flamenco guitarist has everyone doing her signature "cuchi-cuchi" dance, including fellow competitor Erika Jayne.

For week No. 1, the actress and comedian will take on the salsa to Mambo Compañeros' "Cuban Pete" with Keo. It's pretty safe to say, we can expect some spice!

Fun fact: This is only Keo's fifth time dancing as a pro. Could this be the season he takes home a mirror ball trophy?

Rashad Jennings & Emma Slater

Spray tans and barely-there costumes are a way of life on DWTS, so it's no surprise that staying fit is part of the job. The NFL pro and his partner have already been keeping us entertained with their workout videos, which they post at the end of each rehearsal. The pair will be performing to Bruno Mars' "24K Magic," and we have our fingers crossed in hopes of getting a glimpse of Rashad's abs:

For further proof of just how in sync this team is, just look at their handshake:

Fun fact: Back when Rashad was in high school in his hometown of Forest, Virginia, he described himself as a "270 lb. chubby kid with asthma and glasses." It wasn't until the very last game of his junior year that he got any playing time on the football field.

Nancy Kerrigan & Artem Chigvintsev

The 47-year-old former Olympic figure skater is trading in her ice skates for dancing shoes, and couldn't be more "excited." Although she says she's "having fun," she's also "nervous" about making her ballroom debut on Monday.

Fun fact: Figure skaters have an impressive track record on DWTS. Meryl Davis and Kristi Yamaguchi both won their seasons, while Evan Lysacek placed second and Charlie White came in fifth when they competed. If Nancy and Artem look as good on the dance floor as they do on the ice, they should be in the competition for quite a long time!

David Ross & Lindsay Arnold

David certainly knows how to go out with a bang -- he retired from professional baseball after 15 seasons and became the oldest player in MLB history to hit a home run as the Chicago Cubs won their historic World Series title in 2016. But will his skills translate to the dance floor? He and Lindsay have the notoriously difficult quickstep for their first dance, to Steve Goodman's "Go Cubs Go."

Fun fact: David is the first professional baseball player to ever compete on the show. Does he have what it takes to make history again, by bringing home a DWTS win?

Nick Viall and Peta Murgatoryd

Peta's got her groove back, and we're psyched! After taking some time off and giving birth two months ago, the two-time champion is returning to the ballroom with Nick to defend her season 22 title, which she won with Nyle DiMarco.

Her fiancé, Maksim, gushed to ET last week about how much this competition means to his lady, saying, "her making this comeback is a big deal."

Fun fact: During rehearsals last week, the pair -- who will be dancing the Cha Cha to "Let Me Love You" by DJ Snake and Tiesto featuring Justin Bieber -- received a visit from Nick's fiancé, Vanessa Grimaldi, and baby Chmerkovskiy for the cutest social media moment of the season so far.

Erika Jayne & Gleb Savchenko

Erika & Gleb already have one guaranteed fan! Earlier this month, DWTS co-host Erin Andrews told ET that she's a huge fan of the reality star, and is really excited to see her on the dance floor. Additionally, Sharna said the pair "have a really fun chemistry between them." That comment had us wondering -- is it possible we could get another iconic choreography moment from Gleb? After all, who could forget that steamy shower routine he performed with Jana Kramer last season?

Fun Fact: Erika and Glen are dancing a salsa version of the reality star's own single, "XXPEN$IVE," on Monday. We can only hope the piece will feature some of the same sexy moves she performs in the track's official music video.

Normani Kordei & Val Chmerkovskiy

Reigning champ Val is hitting the road for the second season in a row! The pro dancer will be following his partner, Normani, and her Fifth Harmony bandmates all over the world as they continue their 7/27 tour. The tour, which began last year, is heading to Asia next and will wrap up in May.

Like Lindsay and David, the pair's first dance is the quickstep.

Fun fact: In case you missed it, Normani taught Val the moves to 5H's "Work From Home" dance during a break from rehearsals. Perhaps he'll make a surprise appearance onstage during one of their tour shows?

Simone Biles & Sasha Farber

You know what they say, "Be careful what you wish for."

When rumors swirled last year that the Olympic gymnast may be joining the show's 23rd season, Simone told ET that she would love to be paired with Sasha. Now officially cast in the season 24 competition with Sasha, things appear to be going well.

The pair have been dancing, laughing and flipping together while training for their tango to "Untouchable" by Tritonal and Cash Cash in Texas.

Fun fact: If the duo makes it to the finals, this will be Sasha's first appearance in the top group. With Simone's winning track record (the girl's got five Olympic medals!), we feel pretty safe about putting our bets on this pair.

OFFICIAL TEAM NAMES, RANKED

From season to season, the team names keep getting better. We've organized all of the pair's official social media hashtags, in order from most to least creative:

1. #TeamBabyGotBach

Peta just gave birth to her first child, son Shai and Nick just competed on The Bachelor. This team name is pure genius!

2. #TeamDenimNDiamonds

We couldn't think of a better possible name for glam goddess Sharna and casual cowboy Bonner.

3. #TeamGoldenGiggles

No explanation needed - this name is just as cute as Simone and Sasha!

4. #TeamPrettyXxpensive

We see what you did there, Erika and Gleb! For DWTS fans who may not be familiar with the reality star-turned-pop diva, "XXPEN$IVE" is the name of her sassy new single.

5. #TeamMangoTango

One of Chris' most iconic characters from his Saturday Night Live skits was the brightly dressed, exotic male dancer, Mango. And, we can only hope that hilarious accent comes out, too, when Chris takes the stage to dance with Witney.

6. #TeamLadyAndTheGramp

Lindsay, the blond beauty. David, now a retired Chicago Cubs player nicknamed "Grandpa Rossy." Makes total sense, and we love it!

7. #TeamMaksimumHeat

Who doesn't love some fun wordplay? Maksimum = Maks, Heat = Heather. It's not incredibly creative, but it does stand out.

8. #TeamDancingFools

If you don't understand the epic "fools" reference here, it's time to do some research on Mr. T before he and Kym show America what they've got!

9. #TeamShadSquad

"I've been inspired by how much Rashad likes to give back to the kids in the community," Emma said of the inspiration behind her and Rashad's name. "He has an amazing foundation, and the [volunteers] from that foundation call themselves the Shad Squad."

10. #TeamValMani

Val and Normani were originally going with "Booty and the Beast," but changed it last minute when Val's former partner, Zendaya, suggested a name tweak. "I luh you sis @zendaya," the Fifth Harmony starlet tweeted. "Thanks for convincing me that Booty&TheBeast wasn't it lmao."

11. #TeamCuchiCuchi

Although this is a perfect fit for Charo and Keo, we're ranking this low on the list because it was exactly what we expected from the pair.

11. #TeamBladesofGlory

Nancy and Artem are only last on our list because they literally just came up with their team name at the last minute. We're still rooting for you though!

ET PREDICTIONS!

Frontrunners

We have yet to officially see any of the stars step foot in the ballroom, but if we had to make predictions on who will be taking home the season 24 mirror ball trophy our guesses would go to Heather and Maks, Normani and Val, or Simone and Sasha.

Vegas Odds

Based on professional picks from the Wynn Las Vegas, Erika and Gleb, Chris and Witney and Charo and Keo are expected to be the bottom three couples, and the first to face elimination.

Simone & Sasha - 3 to 1 Normani & Val - 9 to 2 Heather & Maks - 5 to 1 Nancy & Artem - 7 to 1 Rashad & Emma - 9 to 1 Bonner & Sharna - 14 to 1 David & Lindsay - 16 to 1 Mr. T & Kym - 20 to 1 Nick & Peta - 22 to 1 Charo & Keo - 25 to 1 Chris & Witney - 35 to 1 Erika & Gleb - 40 to 1

Battle of the Athletes

Having athletes on the show is nothing new, but this season features SIX stars who were all pros in their sports at one point -- Simone, Rashad, Nancy, David, Bonner and Mr. T!

Reality Star Showdown

It's The Bachelor vs. Housewives! Nick and Erika are both stars on two of the most popular reality shows we've ever seen on TV. Now we'll finally get a chance to see them outside of their elements (no roses or drama here!). But who will be the more talented contestant?

Are YOU excited for season 24 of Dancing With the Stars? Which team will you be rooting for? Let us know on Twitter (@desireemurphy_ & @angelique814) or in the comments section on our official Facebook page!

The Dealer~Chapter 26~Calum Hood

THE DEALER

CHAPTER 26

JAYDE P.O.V

Buying out of our lease sucked. It cost more than the rent I was paying but I was happy that we were able to move out and into a home!

While I was at work for the last few weeks, Calum had been packing up our place. It was difficult to pack while we still needed things so he started in the living room packing away books and movies and anything that was never used on a daily basis.

Next he moved onto winter clothes that weren't being used since the weather was warmer. It was difficult for me to let him pack because I liked things done a certain way. It was strange when he moved in because I was used to the routine I had and suddenly there was another person that I was caring for.

And then the baby came along and for a very long time I was frustrated when things didn't go my way. There were things that I liked to do at the same time everyday and it seemed nearly impossible after having a baby who had different plans.

I had decided to take a few days off work so that I could help Calum pack our things. We had gotten the house inspected and we were ready to move in. Our lease was ending in a few weeks and we needed to get everything packed and moved.

My parents were here helping the best they could but they pretty much just watched the baby for us.

"We're going to take trip to the house and drop some things off. Can you watch her for a few hours?" I asked.

"Of course we can." Calum drove the truck to the house while I drove my car. My next plan was going to get Calum a car so that when I went to work, he wouldn't be stuck in the house with the baby all day. He could take her out to do stuff. I knew it was going to get expensive so I've been having my dad help me look into leasing a car.

As as soon as we got to the house he started unloading boxes. Julia and Luke showed up not long after to help us. We worked as fast as we could so that we could get back to the apartment and start loading the truck and car up again.

I could tell that Calum was getting annoyed. It had been a very long day and people were constantly bothering us about things we wanted to keep or things we wanted to throw away. I rubbed his back as he stood to eat his pizza.

"You can go lay down for a few if you want." I whispered to him. "I'll hold down the fort. Just lock the door." Our mattress was on the floor in the apartment and as much as it sucked trying to get in and out of it, I wanted him to go relax. I knew if he didn't he would be angry and he would take it out on me later.

"I will after I eat." I smiled kissing him before turning back to my own piece. We appreciated the help from everyone but sometimes it was just annoying. Calum and I both were very much people who liked alone time. I liked spending time away from people including him.

Once we were finished eating Calum went to lay down while I stayed to pack more things. We had a month to move out of the apartment but I wanted to move into our house as soon as possible. Why would I stay living in a tiny two bedroom apartment when I could be living in my four bedroom home?

"Where did Calum go?"

"He went to lay down. Please leave him alone." I promised him that I wouldn't let anyone bother him. "I'm assuming he took V with him." I looked around and she wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Yes." My dad answered. I wiped everything down so that we wouldn't be charged a cleaning bill before moving onto Violet's closet. I packed away all of her stuffed animals and books. I also packed most of her bedding but left a few in case she spit up on it.

"We're gonna head out." My mom came into the room. "Thank you for dinner." She smiled.

"Thanks for helping us. We really appreciate it." I smiled standing to my feet. "I would hug you but I'm sweaty and probably smell."

"Don't worry, Darling." She smiled as I walked them to the front door. "Hopefully you'll be all moved in soon."

"Hopefully." I sighed. I wasn't too worried about the move itself. I was worried about unpacking everything in the new house. Calum would probably have to do most of it himself.

"With both of you working it's probably hard." I wasn't going to correct her. Calum wasn't working and he hadn't worked the entire time I've known him. He wasn't using me at all. He wanted to be here with our baby and I would rather him stay home with her than to work.

"Yeah. We'll figure something out." She smiled.

"Bye." They both left and I locked the door behind them. Calum came out a few minutes later as I was taping boxes.

"Finally." He sighed sitting against the wall. We had already moved everything from the living room.

"I'm sorry. I know they can be a lot." I looked over at him. Violet was sitting between his legs but leaning into him since she couldn't quite sit up on her own yet. "Can I take your picture?" I asked.

"Sure." He commented smiling as I took a picture of him and Violet. "Should we give this girlie a bath and then head to bed? I say we take apart the crib now and let her sleep in our bed. That way we can just put it in the truck tomorrow."

"Sure." I smiled standing up before picking her up and taking her to the bathroom. "Do you wanna take apart the crib while I give her a bath?"

"No." He commented sitting on the tub. "I don't know how to do it."

"I don't know how to do it either." I commented. "Luke built it." I shrugged. I was hugely pregnant by the time I had gotten the crib and I wasn't strong enough to hold it up.

"I'm sure I can figure it out." He commented placing a towel on his lap so I could place Violet in it and he could wrap her up. "Don't pee pee on me." He talked to her in a funny voice making her giggle.

"She giggled!" I shouted excited. "Oh my god! That was the cutest thing I've ever heard in my life." I don't know why but I teared up.

"What's wrong?" Calum asked pulling me into him.

"I'm just so happy." I cried trying to wipe my tears. My little girl was getting so big and I hated that I was going to miss even more of her life now that we were moving outside of the city. Usually it takes me 20 minutes to get to work. Now it's going to take over an hour with traffic.

"It was a beautiful sound I agree but I am exhausted so can we get her dressed so I can take the crib apart?"

"Yes, dear." I smiled picking out her pj's and got into bed with her trying to get her to sleep while Calum took apart the crib.

"What the fuck!" He shouted so many times making me giggle. I stood up from the bed with Violet in my arms and went into her room to help him. "Is she not going to sleep?"

"Not with all the shouting no." I giggled. "Do you need help?"

"Yes. Come hold these for me." He commented and I stood to help him. I wanted to ask him if he was still dealing drugs.

"Are you still dealing drugs?" I blurted. It was as if my brain wasn't working and my mouth took over. I mentally cursed myself because I did not want to fight about this.

"Yes." He casually commented. "It brings in extra money so that I can help you." I sighed.

"I don't need your help."

"It makes me feel like shit that you pay for everything for us." He commented.

"Then get a real job. You could be arrested." I commented as I laid a piece of the crib on the floor. The last thing I wanted was for him to be arrested and our apartment or house being searched for his drugs. I did not want to lose custody of Violet because he was doing something stupid.

"I tried to get a job remember? It didn't work out." I sighed again. I felt like I was going that a lot to him recently.

"I mean there has to be something you can do." I commented. He didn't respond as he took apart the crib but kept the screws together so that we could rebuild it once we moved into the house.

"Good night." He commented going to our room and laying down. I looked over at Violet who was still wide awake giggling in her seat.

"You think it's funny that daddy's mad at me?" I questioned her picking her up and sitting down in the rocking chair trying to get her to sleep. I stuck a pacifier in her mouth to help keep her calm but she just kept staring up at me. I sighed standing up and heading to our bedroom that was empty besides our mattress and a few articles of clothing. I quietly put Violet on the bed next to him before changing and getting in beside both of them.

Calum had his eyes closed but he tucked Violet into him and turned over so his back was to me.

"What's wrong?" I asked touching his back and he shrugged me off. I slowly lifted my hand off of him and rolled so our backs were to each other. I was freaking out. The last time this happened he left and I didn't hear from him for weeks.

I heard his breathing change not long after but I couldn't sleep. I hated knowing that he was mad at me and that we were moving into a house together tomorrow.

I got up early next the morning to start packing things into the moving truck and my car. We didn't have much left. I slowly carried each piece of the crib to the truck and set it up so that they wouldn't break when the truck started moving. I was able to get the last of our things into the truck before going to wake up Calum.

He quickly got Violet changed and handed her to me before going to change himself. The last thing to go was our mattress and thankfully he was able to get it into the truck by himself.

"I told them we would leave our keys." I commented putting the keys under the mat like the guy asked me to. It felt so strange that we were able to move into our own home. "I can't believe we're actually moving into a house."

"Yeah." He commented. I wasn't sure what the future held with our family. I had never asked Calum where it was going. I would love to spend the rest of my life with him and have more kids but I wasn't so sure anymore.

'Dancing With the Stars' Season 24 Preview: Best Team Names, Elimination Predictions and More!

brightcove

Dancing With the Stars fans, are you ready for an all-new season?

WATCH: 'Dancing With the Stars' First Dances Revealed -- Here's How Each Contestant Feels About Them!

So from the time the dance pros find out which celebrity they're paired with to actual show day, what exactly happens? ET caught up with Witney Carson last Friday, who broke it all down for us!

BREAKING DOWN THE HOT PAIRS

Mr. T & Kym Herjavec

Fun fact: Mr. T is this season's oldest male contestant. His 65th birthday is on Tuesday, just one day after the season premiere.

Bonner Bolton & Sharna Burgess

Heather Morris & Maksim Chmerkovskiy

With no elimination during the first week of the competition, this talented pair is already looking ahead to week No. 2 and Heather's most feared dance, the jive.

Chris Kattan & Witney Carson

According to Witney, the Saturday Night Live veteran is up for anything -- including the sparkles! "He's pretty fearless," the blond beauty told ET. "There's nothing he's really said 'no' to."

Charo & Keo Motsepe

For week No. 1, the actress and comedian will take on the salsa to Mambo Compañeros' "Cuban Pete" with Keo. It's pretty safe to say, we can expect some spice!

Fun fact: This is only Keo's fifth time dancing as a pro. Could this be the season he takes home a mirror ball trophy?

Rashad Jennings & Emma Slater

For further proof of just how in sync this team is, just look at their handshake:

Nancy Kerrigan & Artem Chigvintsev

David Ross & Lindsay Arnold

Fun fact: David is the first professional baseball player to ever compete on the show. Does he have what it takes to make history again, by bringing home a DWTS win?

Nick Viall and Peta Murgatoryd

Her fiancé, Maksim, gushed to ET last week about how much this competition means to his lady, saying, "her making this comeback is a big deal."

Erika Jayne & Gleb Savchenko

Normani Kordei & Val Chmerkovskiy

Like Lindsay and David, the pair's first dance is the quickstep.

Simone Biles & Sasha Farber

You know what they say, "Be careful what you wish for."

The pair have been dancing, laughing and flipping together while training for their tango to "Untouchable" by Tritonal and Cash Cash in Texas.

OFFICIAL TEAM NAMES, RANKED

From season to season, the team names keep getting better. We've organized all of the pair's official social media hashtags, in order from most to least creative:

1. #TeamBabyGotBach

Peta just gave birth to her first child, son Shai and Nick just competed on The Bachelor. This team name is pure genius!

2. #TeamDenimNDiamonds

We couldn't think of a better possible name for glam goddess Sharna and casual cowboy Bonner.

3. #TeamGoldenGiggles

No explanation needed - this name is just as cute as Simone and Sasha!

4. #TeamPrettyXxpensive

We see what you did there, Erika and Gleb! For DWTS fans who may not be familiar with the reality star-turned-pop diva, "XXPEN$IVE" is the name of her sassy new single.

5. #TeamMangoTango

6. #TeamLadyAndTheGramp

Lindsay, the blond beauty. David, now a retired Chicago Cubs player nicknamed "Grandpa Rossy." Makes total sense, and we love it!

7. #TeamMaksimumHeat

Who doesn't love some fun wordplay? Maksimum = Maks, Heat = Heather. It's not incredibly creative, but it does stand out.

8. #TeamDancingFools

If you don't understand the epic "fools" reference here, it's time to do some research on Mr. T before he and Kym show America what they've got!

11. #TeamCuchiCuchi

Although this is a perfect fit for Charo and Keo, we're ranking this low on the list because it was exactly what we expected from the pair.
