Poppy Weekend day 3: Future. Poppy and Bea being parents.

Bea was now in their daughter’s room, Elisa helping with her homework. Elisa was a good student but Bea wanted to help out whenever she could to spend time with her because work lately has been draining. Poppy was hesitant at first about having a child, Bea knew this and told her if she didn’t want to they didn’t need to but Poppy wanted to change so she agreed to an insemination.

E: Hey Mom, what’s a horse?

B: A horse is a 4 legged animal, imagine a dog but bigger and have clicky shoes and you can ride them.

E: Oooh I wanna ride one Mom!

B: Maybe when we go to visit the farm ok sweetie?

E: Thanks Mom.

A few minutes later it was bedtime for Elisa, usually Poppy is always in charge of tucking Elisa in for the night, she’s never done this before but she’s willing to try for her daughter’s sake and her own.

P: Good night Elisa, sleep tight ok? If anything’s wrong just call me ok?

E: Ok Mommy, good night.

Poppy tucks Elisa in and kisses her forehead, both her and Bea quietly exit the room.

They went to the kitchen to catch a break, little to Poppy’s knowledge Bea started trying cooking to try and cook for her daughter more instead of getting catering.

P: Who left this here? It’s gonna get cold.

B: *blushes* Umm I did, I sorta decided to take up cooking on the side so I could impress our daughter and maybe you too Poptart. Wanna try it? I promise it tastes good.

P: You made this Hughes? Are you sure you’re not secretly trying to get me sick?

B: Psshh of course not, if I did I would’ve done that a long time ago. Just try it and find out then Poppy or are you too chicken?

P: *her eyes widen* Give me that.

Poppy decided to try out Bea’s chili and to her surprise it actually tasted amazing. Who knew Hughes could actually cook if she wanted to, She wonders if she could get her to cook for her too. Poppy pulled away but Bea notices some of the chili running down Poppy’s chin.

B: Hold up Poppy you got something there let me get it.

While smirking Bea slowly licked Poppy’s chin that got it by the chili, Poppy closed her eyes while letting out a small mewl of pleasure from the sensation of Bea’s tongue across her skin. Goosebumps forming on her arm.

Satisfied, Bea pulled away from Poppy her skin flushed pink and lips parted.

B: So how was the food? Was it good?

P: Hmmm it tasted good enough, you should definitely cook me dinner sometime Hughes or *would you rather have me for dinner instead pet*?

Even though they’ve been married for 2 years now and Bea should expect it, Poppy still the dominant one of the relationship, hence Poppy will call Bea by her pet name whenever she can. Bea always liked how Poppy would call her “Pet” because it meant she was hers and no one else.

After the food Bea sat down on the couch and groaned at the knots on her neck. She’s been working a lot lately as a party planner, sure it wasn’t the best job in the world but she was happy with what she was doing. She was popular too due to her past at Belvoire and their parties. Though she did have to work harder due to the whole Kingsley scandal. Poppy on the other hand was more successful, she started her own company after giving birth to Elisa, it was hard with her lack of know how but with Bea and Ana Min-Sinclair’s help she managed to become a decently big name in the business but it did come with it’s own stresses, Poppy’s reputation from her Belvoire days were still remembered even though she tries to move past those dark memories and she’s competing with her father’s company which adds more fuel to the fire. Poppy tried to offer Bea a job at her company but she refused because even though the pay would be good she wouldn’t really be happy cooped up in an office, she was more a hands on person and prefers the outdoors. Poppy understood Bea’s reasoning and made it work. Ever since then they were a power couple, people loving Bea but also fearing Poppy.

P: You look tense there Bea, here let me help you.

Poppy started massaging Bea’s neck, eliciting a moan from her lips every time she hit a particular knot on her back. It’s taking Poppy every fiber of her being to not just pounce on her.

After massaging the knots out of Bea’s body she goes to Bea and sits on her lap sideways while holding her face in her palms, her breath barely steady.

P: How was that pet? Don’t think I didn’t notice those deliberately loud moans you were making, you could’ve woken up Elisa for goodness sake. The last thing we need is our kid walking in on us.

B: Hehe sorry about that honey but you know you secretly love it.

P: Shut up pet, you will be punished for this tomorrow when Elisa goes to school for soccer practice *so you better prepare that body of yours for a beating*.

B: *smirks* Game on.

Eventually they fell asleep on the couch, too tired from working. Bea lap acting as Poppy’s pillow.

Poppy and Bea’s lives are just beginning.

Zoom Call | Thomeste & The Barbosas

Featuring: Celeste Barbosa-Prynne, Thomas Meier, Arthur Barbosa, Tracy Barbosa & Ana Barbosa; mentions of Adriana Barbosa-White Notes: Celeste redeems her 1 hr Zoom call home & asked to have Thomas there with her Trigger/Content Warnings: Brief allusions to grief/loss

--CELESTE--

Celeste sat in the producer's bungalow, happy to be cashing in the Zoom call to her family. Aside from a brief phone call while in Ottawa with Thomas, she hadn’t spoke to or heard from them since going to the island. Her parents worked long hours and while her aunt was undoubtedly watching the show, for some reason she hadn't written in. Celeste didn't begrudge her though and wa sure her aunt would have plenty to say to her once she was back home. The cameras were set up around them and the laptop computer was ready for the call. Celeste had asked if Thomas could be there for part, if not all of the call and thankfully, the permission was granted. She was wiggling a little bit in her seat, anxious and excited as she knew any second now, she would finally be introducing Thomas to her parents.

--THOMAS--

Thomas was nervous, but excited to meet Celeste’s family. Things had gone so well with his own parents and sisters, and he was hopeful the Barbosa family would like him. He especially wanted them to like him because he wanted to marry Celeste one day. He sat in the producer’s bungalow with Celeste and wrapped his arm around her waist as they waited for the call to connect.

--CELESTE--

As she leaned into his side, Celeste told Thomas, "I know I’ve asked before but is there anything else you wanna ask or know before the Zoom call starts?" She didn't want to make Thomas feel blindsided by her parents, especially when he had freely and gladly shared about his family to her prior to her meeting them.

--THOMAS--

“I’m honestly not sure what I should know about. Are they strict? Are they going to be like ‘what are you doing with this white boy?’” He chuckled a little. “What should I definitely know about them?” He asked. “I won’t curse in front of them, obviously. And I’m going to let you do most of the talking because this is your zoom. Plus, it’s short.”

--CELESTE--

Although she understood why Thomas asked his second question, Celeste couldn't help but laugh. "My parents are a little strict but not when it comes to the race of who I date. They were strict about school, about me working and me being sure I was never in a position where I couldn't take care of myself and my responsibilities. It was hard for them to accept me pursuing a career in writing at first, but once they saw me being successful at it, they apologized and made a one-eighty. And I know when Reggie and I got serious about each other, they gave him the, 'Be good to our daughter' speech. So you might get that today, or at some point when we're back home. Otherwise, they're really great people. My dad doesn't take himself too seriously, but he's very smart, fair and caring. And my mom is just generally serious but I think that's just cone from years of working in the ED. She's very loving and protective and I get my sarcasm from her."

--THOMAS--

“Oh, okay,” Thomas grinned. He knew some parents could be like that, so he was glad to hear Celeste’s parents weren’t. “They were strict about the normal things, then. And if I’m given the ‘Be good to our daughter’ speech, I won’t mind. I obviously always want to be good to you,” he grinned and pecked her cheek. “I’m nervous to meet them, but also excited. I just want them to like me. Or at least not hate me.”

--CELESTE--

Celeste smiled, "Exactly." She leaned into his kiss on her cheek and moved her hand to rest on his thigh, "They'll more than like you. Trust me. The only people I've ever known them to come close to hating are Antony’s parents and Reggie's so-called parents." She rolled her eyes at the mere mention of the latter and was about to elaborate a bit more before the Zoom call began to ring. "I'll tell you about them later." She reached out and clicked to answer the video call, already smiling at the screen when her parents appeared seconds later.

Arthur beamed the moment he saw his daughter and the man beside her. "Well hello there, stranger!" He greeted, waving to the screen and then turned and waved off camera, "Trace, she's here with her beau. Hurry up!" With his smile back to the younger couple, Arthur asked, "How are you guys? And you're Thomas, right? Tracy's tried to watch but she's fallen far behind. My sister's been filling us in though."

--THOMAS--

“I hope so,” he said, glad they didn’t tend to hate people. Thomas nodded when she said he would learn more later. He would probably have questions after they hung up. He smiled when Celeste’s father popped up on the screen. “Hi! Yes, I’m Thomas. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Barbosa.”

--CELESTE--

Celeste smiled, "Hi, Dad! It's good to see you." She watched her dad and Thomas exchange greetings and said, "We're good. Missing home but doing well. How are you? How's everyone?" Arthur continued smiling, "Nice to meet you too. My sister Adriana's been talking my ear off about you and Celeste and if what she says is true, we're gonna have to have you over for dinner as soon as you guys get done with that show. Technology's great and all but there's nothing like face-to-face human interaction. Know what I mean?" Soon after, Tracy joined her husband beside him with a glass of wine in one hand and a small but polite smile on her lips. "Hi, Cel, baby. You're looking well for someone who's been on an island for months." Her gaze shifted, "And you must be Thomas. Sorry for the delay, I got home about an hour ago and am just getting settled after a much needed shower and some wine." She lifted the glass for emphasis and then asked, "I haven't been able to keep up with everything on the show yet but Adriana says you two are serious about each other at thus point?"

Thomas could absolutely see the family resemblance as soon as he saw both of Celeste’s parents on the screen. “I would love to come over for dinner after we get back,” he grinned at Celeste’s father. “Hi, Mrs. Barbosa. It’s a pleasure to meet you. My mum was the same way after she got home from her shifts at the hospital,” he said. When she asked if they were serious, he looked at Celeste and squeezed her hand before he looked back at her mother. “Yes, ma’am. I am very much in love with your daughter.”

--CELESTE--

Arthur grinned all over again, "Great! The missus and I have hectic schedules but we'll work something out. I'm sure Celeste has told you already what we do for a living." Celeste chimed in, "Yes, Dad. I had a chance to go with Thomas and meet his family. His mom was a nurse too, and I'm fairly sure I told him that you're the fire chief back home." She could see her dad practically puffing his chest with pride and it made her lips twitch while stifling a small giggle at her dad. But she happily returned the squeeze to Thomas's hand. Tracy listened to Thomas's response while watching him and nodded, taking a sip of wine and then asked, "That's nice to hear. What sort of future do you see with her?" Celeste's eyes widened a bit, "Mom. 'Nice to meet you too'? Can you at least say that before starting on Twenty Questions?" She cast an apologetic look Thomas's way and then listened to her mother respond. "Sorry. It was a long day. Plus we don't exactly have a lot of time on this call, do we?" She then fixed her gaze back on Thomas, "Are you bothered by my questions, Thomas?"

--THOMAS--

“Oh, yes!” Thomas nodded. Celeste had told him what her parents did for a living. And he could tell that her father was very proud to be the fire chief. It made sense. That was a great job. “I understand if it takes time to coordinate with everyone’s schedules,” he grinned. When Celeste’s mum asked about what future he saw with her, he patted Celeste’s hand. “It’s okay. Really. I don’t mind the question. It’s not a secret that I want a future with Celeste, and I would love to eventually marry her. This isn’t a proposal, and I haven’t proposed. I just think that’s the natural path our relationship will take,” he said.

--CELESTE--

While her dad was his typical, jovial self, her mom continued to be her usual, more stoic self. Both of the Barbosa parents listened to Thomas's answer. And while Tracy gave a simple, comprehensive nod, her dad smiled with obvious approval. Celeste was sure her face was on fire. Of course she and Thomas had declared their own feelings. Hearing him state something similar to her parents had her blushing deeply. The butterflies were back, gleefully fluttering inside of her. Arthur spoke up before his wife could, "I have a couple questions of my own. First of all, since Thomas has been in the hot seat, Celeste, do you have any doubts or reservations when it comes to your relationship with Thomas?" Celeste blinked and raised her brows, not having expected such a question from her dad. It wasn’t an answer she wanted to delve into now, but Thomas and her parents had the right to know. So, she turned her gaze from her dad to Thomas and said, "I don’t have any doubts or reservations about Thomas. I have an irrational fear about the future, but they're entirely mine and have nothing to do with who he is, him loving me or anything he's done. My fear is that I don't wanna lose him. I love him and want to share a long life with him."

Her honesty made Tracy's face fall, knowing exactly where her daughter's fear came from. "Celeste..." she softly spoke until she knew she had her daughter's attention. "I'm happy for you finding love again, in Thomas. And Thomas, thank you for loving our daughter. You seem like a great man from what I've seen and heard so far. I'm looking forward to meeting you in person and having that dinner together once you both get off of that island. Excuse me." And with that, Tracy stood, wiping at an eye half of a second before disappearing off of the screen. Arthur looked after his wife for a moment and then fixed Thomas and Celeste with an apologetic smile. "She's happy for you two, as am I. She's just a little emotional. Now, I did say I had another question and it is for Thomas, but it's not a heavy one." And after a dramatic pause, he asked, "Do you have any food allergies? Tracy keeps epi pens here but I'd rather not make our first family dinner with you memorable for giving you some sort of allergic reaction."

--THOMAS--

Thomas was glad his answer seemed to be acceptable to Celeste’s parents. He squeezed his girlfriend’s hand again, grateful he had her there. He wasn’t expecting the conversation to take such a heavy turn. Of course he knew about what happened to Reggie. He should have known she would be scared of losing another person. Thomas kissed her shoulder and frowned a little. He wished he could promise he wouldn’t go anywhere, but life had no guarantees. “Thank you,” he grinned a little at Tracy and watched as she walked away. “It’s okay. I understand. I don’t think I have any food allergies. But I don’t eat pork or shellfish. Those are my only real food restrictions.” He didn’t strictly keep kosher, but he did follow those rules.

--CELESTE--

Celeste squeezed Thomas's thigh when he dropped a kiss on her shoulder. She knew it was a weighty response to a serious question posed, but it was the truth for her. She was just thankful that her dad was there to lighten things back up. Arthur listened to Thomas's answer and nodded. "Pork and shellfish. Not a problem. You guys are probably overdue for a nice steak dinner. And your avó has been talking about loading you up on brigadeiros when you return," to which Celeste groaned, "Yes, please. To all of that. Just... no fruit and no fish of any kind. We've had so much of that while we've been here" Arthur laughed, "Alright, alright, I get the hint. I'll get off of the food subject. How much longer have you guys got until you're off of that damned island anyway? Thomas, I hear you retired from hockey last year. I've been to just a few games but I'd like to go to another sometime with you"

--THOMAS--

Thomas grinned when Arthur mentioned a steak dinner. “Yes, please. That sounds incredible! And Celeste told me about brigadeiros. I would love to try some,” he smiled. “But she’s right. No fruit. No fish.” Thomas nodded when Arthur brought up hockey. “That’s right. I played for Ottawa. I’d love to go to a game with you. Probably Sharks because SAP Center is close?”

--CELESTE--

Arthur chuckled, "They're great if you like chocolate. Very rich." He smiled and nodded, "The Senators? That's a good team from what I've heard. Some of the guys at the stations are big hockey fans. Yes, The Sharks are the local team so the games I've gone to were theirs. " Celeste listened to her dad and boyfriend converse with a soft smile carved on her face. She was happy to see the two of them getting along well. Eventually she'd interjected, "Hey Dad, is Avó around to say 'hi' for a moment?" Her soft smile grew into a grin as she told Thomas, "She's gonna be excited to see me and meet you." And with perfect timing, Celeste's grandmother started to walk by in the background.

Her dad called the elder woman over to, "Come say hi to Celeste and her namorado!" Celeste leaned over and whispered to Thomas, "Namorado's boyfriend in Portuguese. She doesn't speak a ton of English." Soon enough, Celeste's grandma Ana shuffled over and took a seat beside her son. She gasped and let out a sing-song sigh, "Ahh, Celeste!" She'd gushed in broken English at the sight of her eldest granddaughter and her existing grin brightened up, "This is your namorado?" The elder woman leaned in conspiratorially as though she was only speaking to Celeste and wasn't being heard by Arthur and Thomas as well, "Ele é muito sexy. Celeste snorted and burst out laughing, quickly covering her mouth at her grandmother's sheer honesty, doubting that she needed to translate anything for Thomas.

--THOMAS--

“I do like chocolate,” Thomas grinned. “Yes, exactly. The Senators. We weren’t the best team in the league, but we were pretty good. Better than the Sharks,” he chuckled. “But I can’t fault you for liking the hometown team,” he said. Thomas was glad Arthur seemed to like him, and he liked talking to the man. “I would love to meet her.” Moments later, he saw the elderly woman. “Oh, okay,” he whispered back to Celeste. Thomas thought it was so sweet that Celeste’s avó was so happy to see her. And he chuckled a bit when she called him sexy. “Hello, it is so nice to meet you. Celeste has told me so many wonderful things about you!” He hoped someone would translate for them if she didn’t fully understand and vice versa.

--CELESTE--

Arthur chuckled at Thomas and said, "Hey, I'm A-OK with that. It's free tickets, so... go Sharks!" He laughed and then called his mother over to talk to Celeste and meet Thomas.

Ana beamed at the computer screen and switched back and forth between English and Portuguese as she said, "Nice to meet you, Thomas! My daughter, she tells me you were um atleta? Para hóquei? And that you love my neta Celeste? That is a very powerful thing but if you do, both of you take good care of each other. Take care of that love. Não tome como garantidas as pequenas coisas. Don't go to bed angry or hungry. Ou ambos." She laughed a bit, listening while Arthur translated, "She says don't take for granted the little things and don't go to bed angry, or hungry, or both." Ana smiled, "Thomas, I hear too that you make my neta very happy. Thank you for bringing her more happiness."

--THOMAS--

Thomas grinned. “No, you can’t beat free tickets,” he said. He thought it was nice that Ana knew a little about him and his feelings for Celeste. “Yes, exactly. I was a professional hockey player,” he nodded. “I do love Celeste. I love her a lot,” he said and looked at his girlfriend. Thomas looked back at Arthur and chuckled at the translation. “Excellent advice,” he said. “I am trying to bring her a lot of happiness. That is very important to me.”

--CELESTE--

She smiled and then told her dad and grandmother, "He does bring me happiness, Avó, even when he isn't trying." Celeste met Thomas's eyes with her own gaze full of love and the happiness her avó spoke of. And while the hour long Zoom call continued on, Celeste continued conversing with him, her dad and her grandmother for a large part of the call, telling them about what being on the show is like, what living on the island for months has been like, and a little of their weekend trip to meet Thomas's family.

Towards the end of the call, Tracy returned and sat on the other side of Ana. She apologized for her abrupt leave earlier and said, "You two get back home soon, alright? And Celeste, as happy as i am for you finding a good thing with Thomas, you are not allowed to sign up for anymore reality tv shows. At least not ones where you're off on some far away island. And Thomas, I'd love to be put in touch with your parents to talk with them some more, especially your mother since she's been in the trenches too." And at that, she smiled at Thomas.

--THOMAS--

Thomas had a great time talking to Celeste’s family. By the end of the call, he felt so much more at ease and was looking forward to dinner with them. And he thought Celeste’s Avó was hilarious and gave wonderful advice. When he wasn’t being asked direct questions, he let his girlfriend do most of the talking. It was her hour with her family, after all. “I’ll send my mum’s contact information in the chat before we log out. I’ll do her Facebook, email, and cell number. But she is in Canada, so if you want to talk to her on the phone, i suggest a WiFi call so you don’t get charged,” he grinned. “I know she’ll love to hear from you,” he told Tracy.

--CELESTE--

"Perfect. Thank you, Thomas," Tracy replied. "I'm sorry I wasn't around more for this call but I do have to go. If I don't get something started for dinner, then Arthur's going to end up Doordashing it and I don't want Panera again."

As she blew a quick kiss and waved before getting up again, Arthur protested, "Hey! Panera's delicious. Besides, there's nothing wrong with a good sandwich. Back me up here, Thomas!"

Celeste laughed while lightly squeezing her boyfriend's thigh and telling him, "Be Switzerland. Avó's always the tiebreaker whenever they can't agree on dinner." And at that, Ana beamed and Celeste laughed some more. "Love you, Mom. Hopefully we'll see you soon." Meanwhile, Arthur told Thomas and Celeste, "I had more questions--fun ones, I promise--but I'll save them for that dinner. You two stay well, and keep on taking care of each other, alright?"

--THOMAS--

“I completely understand. We will have more time to chat in the future,” Thomas grinned at Tracy. He laughed a bit at Arthur. “Panera is good every once in a while, but nothing will ever beat a home cooked meal. It’s good you have a tiebreaker, though,” he grinned. “I hope you remember the questions for next time. We will figure out a day for dinner after we’re back in San Francisco. I promise to take care of her.” Thomas brought Celeste’s hand to his lips and kissed it.

--CELESTE--

"I'll write them down so I don't forget." Arthur then stood up from his chair, preparing to go after his wife and make his pitch for Panera but paused, popping his face back in from the side as he waved, "Nice meeting you Thomas. Talk to you later. Bye, Cel. Love you, amorzinho!" Celeste waved 'goodbye' to her dad, chuckling as his voice retreated from the room. Thomas's affection made her smile linger.

Meanwhile, Ana watched her son and daughter-in-law harmlessly bicker and sighed, "Aye, I better go tell your Papa that we aren't having Panera for dinner." She grinned conspiratorially and lowered her voice to tell Thomas and Celeste, "I want a falafel." Celeste snickered and said, "Go ahead, Avó, we won't keep you. Have a good night and thanks for talking with us!" Ana said, "A qualquer hora, neta. Eu te amo," while heaving herself out of her chair and walking away. Before she was out of earshot, she heard her grandmother holler something in the background that made Celeste burst out laughing. She looked to Thomas and told him while reaching for the laptop's mouse pad, "She fussed at my Dad to come end the Zoom call. She doesn't know how." But rather than her family having to deal with it, she ended the call herself and then shifted in her chair to face Thomas, softening her smile. "Well that was a bit of a roller coaster."

--THOMAS--

Thomas said goodbye to everyone and made sure he put his mum’s information in the chat for Tracy before the call was ended so it could be collected. “It was a bit of a rollercoaster,” he nodded and gave her a hug, holding her tight. “I love you. Sorry it took a heavy turn.”

--CELESTE--

Celeste shifted out of her chair to sit in Thomas's lap and return the hug. "I love you too. I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to come out then." When she drew back some time later, she brought her hands to either side of Thomas's face and looked him in the eyes, "You really are the best, you know that?" and then she leaned in to peck his lips once, twice and on the third time, her lips lingered on his.

--THOMAS--

Thomas wrapped his arms around Celeste’s waist when she sat on his lap. “You don’t have to apologise, babe. I should have known that would be a fear. I’m sorry I didn’t even think about it.” He just held her until she looked at him, and Thomas gave her a soft grin when she held his face. “You’re the best,” he said and kissed her back. “I love you so much. Do you want to go lay down for a bit and just unwind from that? I’ll cuddle with you.”

--CELESTE--

Bowing her head to press her forehead to his, Celeste told him, "It's okay. You don't have to apologize at all. And I promise I'm okay right now. It was really nice getting to hear from my family after so many months, and I'm so glad they finally got to meet you and that you got to meet them." Hearing his offer made a soft smile come back to her face. "You know if I ever turn down cuddles with you then something is seriously wrong." She rested her lips on his forehead for a moment and then said, "Yes please."

summary: the non dysfunctional!imperial family au hcs no one asked for 😳👉👈

character/s: anastacius de alger obelia, claude de alger obelia, athanasia de alger obelia, jennette de alger obelia

here's part 2 :)

let’s set our stage, shall we?

first of all claude n anastacius’ dad is dead coz we don’t like him at all ew

so ana is the emperor, and claude is his heir presumptive (aka he’s got the strongest claim to the throne rn, but this can be changed by the birth of someone who has a stronger one - ie, anastacius’ child who would be the heir apparent) also bc “i know my mom and i gave u lots of childhood trauma that you prlly won’t be recovering from because therapists aren’t a thing here but here’s a crown you might get to make it better”

claude’s in a position where after the birth of ana’s kid/direct descendant, he’s gonna be given a duchy that athy should inherit after him while still retaining the title of prince

but after hearing of diana’s pregnancy, ana tells her and claude he doesn’t really plan on having children and wants to make their future kid his successor

he basically reserves a spot for their child in the directory and rather than announcing anything publically, anastacius names her athanasia after the sex is confirmed

then this mf obviously pulls a clown move and gets penelope pregnant and complicates things, ultimately naming her jennette, finding the name fitting - ‘god is gracious’

and really, what could be more evidence of god’s grace than the child he’s now fathering, when he thought his legacy would be ending with him?

anyways!!!

so since athy and jennette are born near the beginning of ana’s reign, both claude and anastacius are wayyy too busy trying to bring back the empire from the literal brink of bankruptcy and a possible war to really spend time w their kids

it’s alright, though!! lily is hired as athy’s nanny, while jennette gets kiel’s mom as hers

they all still live together, though obviously the main palace is for ana + jennette while claude + athy are in a separate one

this 'separate one’ is ruby palace after ana dismisses the concubines and he definitely 100% did this on purpose, and whenever he’s summoning claude he’s such a shit about it and goes about it the way you’d summon a deadass concubine

on a separate note, it’s surprisingly claude who visits athy first - he’s seen her here and there with lily but hasn’t ever had the chance to spend time w her. but now it’s almost been a year since athy’s birth (or diana’s death), her first birthday is fast approaching, and he is drunk

lily is a reallyyyy light sleeper and enters the nursery upon hearing someone inside

she doesn’t expect to see the prince standing above his daughter’s crib, a strand of her golden hair between his fingers as he just…stares at her

she approaches quietly, curtsying in greeting - he’s too absorbed to notice, and after a few minutes of silence lilian tells him, “babies can get lonely too, your highness.”

he glances at her then, confused. “how?” he really can’t understand how this girl, who can’t even speak yet comprehend something like loneliness

“princess athanasia is very responsive to her surroundings, much more than children her age usually are,” lily says, “and i like to believe children are able to tell when their parents are with them.”

he scoffs - what a foolish thought. still, claude sits by her bedside, and before he can register it, he’s taken over by sleep

the next night, claude makes his way towards the nursery and stiffly asks if athy could sleep beside him for the night - it’s fairly late, but lilian allows it

he’s gone to the main palace too early the next morning for athy to be awake, but she spent about two minutes tops worrying about the strange surroundings, saw the shiny chandelier and fancy bed and decided yes, she doesn’t mind this kidnapping

this becomes somewhat of a regular occurrence soon enough, and sometime that week she wakes up in the middle of the night with her nose pressed into something soft and literally falls off the huge ass bed at the realisation that this something soft is actually her papa’s hair (you just know that hair smells great i mean uh-)

this mans wakes up and peeks at her on the ground, reaches out to grab her from the front of her nightdress (he swears it’s exactly how he’s seen lilian do it) and plops her back onto the bed

she backs up OBVIOUSLY, you don’t just wake up with a random ass man in your bed and just vibe together?? lee jihye is dying but he glares at her for disturbing his sleep and athy pulls her act together in 0.000001 secs as claude pulls her closer and goes back to sleep

as athy grows, claude starts allowing her to visit his office during the day until it becomes a sort of ritual - he’d have tea and milk prepared and she’d come, sitting somewhere completing a puzzle or sum while he works

mans nearly tears down the entire imperial palace the day she doesn’t show up until he finds her in the garden, teaching jettie the 'proper’ way to hold a teacup during tea parties while lilian and roger’s wife, vivian, watch

athy emotionally blackmails asks him to join the tea party, so half an hour later, anastacius finds his brother sitting on the grass with a plastic teacup that athy’s filling with hot water as she lectures him to learn to fix his posture from lily so he can sit like a “proper dignified lady”

so in the beginning, jennette actually ends up spending more time with claude than her dad. though one day, the brothers are in the audience hall when athy runs in with felix running after her telling her not to run (there’s a shit ton of guards surrounding anastacius so felix has orders to be with princess athanasia when claude is with ana)

anastacius is used to this sight, and watches, smirking at his brother’s subtle smile as athy offers him this wonky looking flower crown - claude accepts it wordlessly, and ana wants to slap his ass to sanity, who wouldn’t thank their kid when they do adorable things like this??

but then they hear another voice, and in comes jennette with vivian not too far behind her. now jettie has a much cleaner looking crown in her hand, but she glances at her father’s elaborate and beautiful crown all embedded with gems and glittering and then at the one she’s fashioned out of daisies

she's always thought she was much like her uncle - jennette was so fascinated by the plain daises, they weren’t flashy but caught her eye all the same - while athy was shiny and bold like her dad

but now she’s second guessing her choice, how could she make such a simple crown for her dad, the emperor??

claude sighs from beside anastacius and literally picks off his brother’s crown before tossing it towards a very tired felix

athy urges jennette forward, and with a bright red covering her entire face she offers the crown. jennette glances at her uncle for comfort before muttering, “for papa”

anastacius.exe has crashed

this blushly, embarrassed, and apparently talented at flower crowns kid was his?

long story short he forgets to breathe or react and jettie thinks he hates the crown and hates her and won’t ever like to see her again so she starts getting teary

claude pushes his brother’s head down before athy can be convicted for murder

ana 100% almost faints when her tiny chubby fingers delicately place the crown in place, he’ll never admit it but he closed his eyes and almost hugged her instinctively as she shyly adjusted some of his bangs around the new headpiece, muttering, “papa pretty”

jennette rushes back to her sister, who’s glaring daggers at the emperor

anastacius tries to smile to calm jennette a bit and maybe look nice enough for his niece to not kill him in his sleep

right well kiel becomes the royal playmate for both the princesses - athy has her classes with him since she’s advanced and honestly they’ll be going back forth with infodumps one minute and he’s teaching her to make paper airplanes the next

(she writes notes on the paper airplanes the next time she’s in claude’s office and flies them towards him, stuff like, 'does uncle cius also snore loudly like papa?’ and he gets seriously offended like a pissbaby)

jennette first met kiel when he was visiting his mom - vivian had to leave for a bit and she taught him a bunch of flower names and their meanings in the meantime - he makes sure to research a new flower every time he visits her, and brings her a bouquet of said flowers she always knows them but never says anything coz she doesn’t wanna hurt his feelings and he gets so excited as he tells her about their meanings it’s so cute

speaking of jennette - claude and ana may seem worlds apart but they’re at the same level of emotionally constipated

ana watches his brother and niece interact and he craves that, an unconditional, timeless love that can’t possibly be tainted by ulterior motives or the like, but he just doesn’t know how to approach little jettie

it seems easy enough - she’s a smiley, sweet girl and theoretically would be friendly if he is to approach her

but gods he’s just so ashamed - such a sweet babe grew without either of her parents and he doesn’t have an excuse because holy hell, even claude is close to athy

he’s being served food in his chambers when he asks the maid about jennette, and she tells him how among her first words was 'love’ and the brunette would just stroll the palace pointing at people and declare “love you” and watch their face light up

thats so CUTE OMFG

his jaw is touching the floor when he’s told that his daughter knows the names of every worker within the palaces

at this point he’s honestly questioning whether this child is his at all

he’s absolutely horrified at the realisation that this maid, who doesn’t even work in jennette’s part of the palace, knows more about her than he does - hell, he hadn’t even asked vivian to keep him updated on her growth, what right does he have to stick himself into her life now?

now, the maid quietly suggests starting with something small like inviting jennette to tea and

of course he goes about it the wrong way??

poor jettie thinks she’s being tested by the ruthless emperor on her etiquette and spends the entire day practicing with claude after athy guilted him into it

she’s so nervous in front of her dad that he honestly feels even guiltier, and anastacius hurries to grab her hands in his to calm their tremble as she reaches to serve him tea

she apologises lmao and he’s just so flustered himself that he orders for her to sit down and instructs her through a few deep breaths

as she calms down, ana serves her the tea before asking whether girls her age even drink tea

she says no and you can literally hear the crickets

he slides the cup he’s poured for her over to his side before gesturing towards the deserts (it was claude’s daughter-luring pro tip) on her side

“you look like you read a lot,” ana says, before asking whether she’s been reading anything interesting lately

“i don’t, actually,” she tells him shyly

anastacius laughs at how of all things his hate for books is what she got from him - and only when jennette chuckles does he realise that he said that out loud

he lets her go around her bedtime, feeling rather… energized? he doesn’t know how to explain it, but it’s a good feeling

he’s busy again the next day, but has an aide send her flowers - the same ones she had put in her flower crown for him

yes lucas is still sleeping in the palace, yes athy still finds him

so athy sees the flowers from uncle cius and is enraged, literally walks up to her uncle and demands he leave jennette alone if he’s only gonna break her heart by neglecting her

and so we have fifteen minutes of the emperor of obelia stuttering as he explains himself to this seven year old

smfh his cluelessness reminds her of her own dad and she takes pity on ana’s suffering soul

the next morning, to give him a chance to redeem himself, athy asks all four of them to have breakfast together - they accept the invitation, and despite an awkward start, the meal seems to be going well

peace is not written in this family’s fate however, and this is where the first coughing up blood thing happens

ohhhh the palace staff almost gets massacred that day

athy’s limp body is moved to jennette’s room since it’s the closest - lily bursts into tears at the very sight of her princess, jennette refuses to eat or drink until her sister can, felix hears his heart break, claude is barely holding himself together

ana is livid - who dares poison a member of his family? what has he even done to earn the privilege of calling these girls his family, when he can’t protect them, at the very least?

claude absolutely refuses to leave her room and finishes all his work right outside her door, lest she wake up in pain again

anastacius can’t keep his own anxiety about jennette at bay, insisting she sleep with him as long as claude stays with athanasia - he can tell she’s drained, and she ends up sharing some of her worries late at night. he soothes both her worries and her cries, letting her curl up into him despite it being a rather uncomfortable position

the family is thrown into chaos again once they realise it was never poison, but athy’s own magic that caused this

aka when chibi lucas drops by and voodoos her back to 100%, everyone legit starts worshipping the ground he walks on - he saved their precious princess!!

ana insists on making him athy’s royal playmate after hearing she isn’t fully healed yet

what does this give us? well, a very very early lucas vs kiel

since they’ve both got the title of royal playmate, they constantly argue on whether being the future duke alpheus is a better title than the future royal magician

the girls are always dragged into this - athy always takes kiel’s side to avenge blackie, and jennette likes kiel too, but the young magician sir saved her sister!!

so.

when vivian passes away due to an illness, it’s like roger is an entirely different person

jennette + kiel + athy all help with the funeral preparations since she was a mother/aunt to them all

felix seems to be paying extra attention to kiel

it isn’t long after this that roger decides to send him to arlanta for his studies, leaving behind two disillusioned princesses

athy spends her time viciously studying to stay ahead of arlanta’s curriculum, while jennette takes an interest in cooking

(athy tries and fails spectacularly; lucas laughs at her and jettie accidentally serves him his favourite food too salty to be edible)

a/n: this would be the first of the two parts, so stay on the lookout, hope y'all enjoyed n have a great day <3

I have lots of thoughts and feelings about Madre Solo Hay Dos, and this post is an attempt to express it. Since I'm posting through the android app I can't use the keep reading option, so SPOILER ALERT IN CASE YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED MADRE SOLO HAY DOS YET.

-------------------‐------

So, when I began watching I couldn't find a trailer or a teaser, was relying solely on the small synopsis Netflix gave - which honestly was the best thing for me.

It also meant that at fisrt I was really surprised there was a husband at all not to mention two older kids in Ana's life, but I grew up watching enough mexican telenovelas to know that one way or another things would work out (I surely hoped so). But I liked how the story unraveled.

I was also VERY SURPRISED by Mariana and Elena's relationship because I definitely wasn't expecting Mariana to actually be with a woman before falling for Ana.

Juan Carlos cheating on Ana was both expected and utterly irritating (how could he do that when he had such an amazing wife and family?) And it cannot be justified by the fact she was controlling and workaholic. It just isn't, I mean he knew that control was how she showed love - he said it in episode two - and knowing he met her in university he must have known she was and would still be career driven. And to me that marriage was in the verge of ending and not just because he cheated, but for how he treated her. Always making her feel bad on focusing on having a successful career. I like him as a father, he is pretty good. But as a husband to her he was an asshole. I mean I could understand him asking her stop working a little to spend some time with the baby, for health and bonding issues, (and in a way she did need some rest) but I can't say I liked him in the first episode, because as soon as I knew he cheated that was it. But I tolerated him, he had some nice moments.

Pablo made me so pissed at him for the way he treated Mariana, specially after she said no to him. Although I didn't see him as being manipulative at first, I do agree he seemed to only want Regina if Mariana would go back to him. Besides, the fact he kept competing against Elena (he didn't see Ana coming at all and I really love that lol) irritated me. To me he was clearly treating Mariana as if she were some prize. As if she came back to him would prove he was better than Elena, that Idk Mariana was only with Elena because he left you know? Like getting her back was just to boost his ego - just my opinions. If he could work on not being an ass to Mariana just because she doesn't want to go back with him and still be in Regina's life and for all that's holy if he finally stops listening to the jerks he calls friends he could be tolerable.

I like Elena, I don't love her though, but I like her pretty much, however telling Mariana that she was just confused about how she felt for Ana was a jerk move. I get it, she is hurt and maybe she feels like getting revenge because what Mariana did to her wasn't nice (I mean, it was pretty clear she let Elena assume they were more than just friends who occasionally kissed) but still doesn't justify it. Honestly, I don't even think she should have told Mariana that she noticed she fell for Ana. Mariana needed to that on her own (which she was almost there if the gay panic on her face while she looked at Ana during their "bonding" ritual for Regina's spiritual reception was any indication). What happens is I think that Elena accepeted that she had lost Mariana to Pablo, and to her ir made sense: he was there first (in the sense he was her previous relationship), he was a man, and she was the first woman Mariana ever was with, so maybe she was trying new things and he is Regina's father, maybe she even thought Mariana was still in love with him on some level (which is even sadder, honestly). But seeing Mariana fall in love with Ana, made her realize that Mariana likes women, that she can fall in love with another woman, she just never fell for Elena. So yeah, if they don't make her into a manipulative bitch she could still be an awesome character - my headcannon is both Elena and Pablo getting their heads out of their asses and helping Mariana win Ana back.

All of the men in Ana's life are stupid.

Juan Carlos doesn't appreciate all the effort she puts in trying to be a business woman, a good mother and wife. Neither does Daniel, her ex, seems like he actually understood her. While he read a bit of his book to her she seemed very unconfortable, just as when he talked about not being able to keep up with her. And like he said, her smile is beautiful, yes (the woman is masterpiece of beauty) but she's way more than that. However her ex did look like a fool in love when he saw her again (which Juan Carlos never does) and I guess that's what drove her to him.

I'll save the best for last, so bear with me just a bit more before getting to Ana and Mariana. Before I'd like to talk about Teresa.

Even if I wish Mariana didn't hide from Ana what happened I do understand her. First Tere (beautiful woman, wich honestly this show just slayed me with so many beautiful women) is her mom and she is kinda manipulative (although I'm sure she sometimes means well most of the times she doesn't think about the consequences of her actions) and I don't know, I think as strong and as independent Mari is, she does want to have a family that gets along and people here in Latin America sometimes get in too much of that "family is blood" bullshit, and not only Latinex but the rest of the world seems pretty adamant in having children listen and forgive their parents and carry on toxic parent-child relationships because "they are your parents", which sucks, but it's true. And not only that as much as Ana feels hurt I don't think she would have believed Mariana if she told her. After all in 20 years Juan Carlos never seemed to show any signs of ever being unfaithful to her. Even if it was the right thing to do, it's not the easiest decision. It wasn't just a relationship of a married couple it would affect but also JC's relationship with the children, because it does change their view of the parent - hence he cutting Ana before she said to the children she cheated on him. And yes Tere is her mother and the thing about parents (and other immeadiate family members) is that even if they screw us up all the time we always feel like we have to stand by them someway, somehow. And (and it's a very unpopular opinion and I'm not sure if I'll manage to get my point across very well but I'll try) I guess Mariana felt guilty for what Tere did, not only for keeping the secret but for her actions as well. Mariana is always trying to fix things with and/or for Tere and I guess she might have felt guilty over bringing Tere into Ana's life, even if she knows it's not her fault anything happened... but guilt is something really weird, so yeah. why I think she feels guilty is because, well, I don't know how it is for other people, but when living with manipulative people they managed to make you feel bad for things you have nothing to feel sorry for, not to mention that her attempts of protecting and trusting her mother comes from a feeling of guilty of not being able to trust her - which is also another thing both Pablo and Teresa want from Mariana without ever giving her reason to and then making her feel bad about not being able to trust them.

And finally, what I thought of Ana and Mariana's relationship.

I love how Ana and Mariana balance each other, I like the age difference as well. I thinks it sends a great message as well, not only with the cliché that you may find lkve whenever, but that no matter how old or how young are life happens and you have to deal with it. Being married and having a stable life didn't stop Ana from having her life turned upside down, and the same with Mariana, in her case it just meant that her mess of life got even crazier but that just it.

I love how the relationship between Mariana and the kids just flows naturally as well. And I love how Mariana does support Ana and shows she is happy for her a lot more than her own husband. Even if they are not married they do act like each other's partners, at least to me.

I feel like their relationship begins to shift at the end of the first episode when they decided to live together - and 'Flotando' by Francisca Valenzuela playing during the scene, to me, it's a very beautiful and subtle way to say to us viewers that we can and should expect more from their relationship.

However the second episode it feels to me like it's fundamental, specially for Ana. They both fell very silently for each other, and without noticing and I think Ana began falling when Mariana not only broke her rules but defied her and told her the truth everyone else was afraid to say - and not only that that bond the girl began forming with both Ceci and Ro. I loved how she was super attentive in listening how Pablo was a jerk and then being super protective of both Mariana and Regina when he began coming around - but I also loved that she relented, albeit reluctantly, when she saw that Mariana really thought Pablo could be of importance to Regina. The fact that Mariana was so worried in making sure Ana approved of him showed more of how much she valued Ana's opinion than whatever she may feel for her ex, which to me was step 1 of Mariana falling for Ana, step 2 was definitely the scene where she makes faces at Valentina just so the baby would smile at Ana and the woman could be a little happier, and sideways hug was the cherry on top - the way she feels uncertain of it before doing was very well thought out and executed.

The scene where Ana introduces Mariana and Regina as her other daughter and Valentina's other mother without explaining further than "we are the mothers of the two babies" was really such a heartfelt moment I just died.

I loved how after those initial moments they were constantly checking on each other (I really do love when Ana goes check on Mariana after her disaster of day with Anuar and she gently tucks Mariana's hair out her face in such a beautiful caress).

The scene in which Ana is shocked about how Mariana's date went is definitely one great indication of the fact she was feeling something more (I mean, saying that if she were a man she would definitely hit on her? That has got to be the oldest play on the book, the famous "I'd kiss you if I weren't straight"). Also on the same episode but before the horrible date, she did ask Mariana to never again say she wasn't attractive, which I also saw as something more, 'cause she was able to read between the lines. Mariana out loud said she wasn't sure about her body, not really saying she didn't feel pretty but one could read it. I think it meant something because Ana seems not that much of an expert reading people, so to be able to be so certain would mean she really paid attention. When Ana said Mariana should try with someone she trusted I think that she wanted it to be hed, even if she didn't realize yet. Or maybe did. In the episode where she takes time off before accepting her promotion there's a scene after she wakes up that Juan Carlos begins to kiss her, clearly intending to have sex (and they did have it) but her face is like "god this is boring/I don't think I really want to" that just makes me think ok, maybe she's already realizing she wants someone else (I had this impression). The episode where they go away and not only Mariana manages to convince everyone to go without being intrusive it's really nice, I also loved how fast Ana embraced everyone else as family for Mariana and Regina. The pool scene, oh my, I melted. First how pissed Ana was to know that Tere got distracted and Mariana almost drowned and how she instantly went after Mariana to chek on her, and not only trying to calm her about the water, listening to her about her fears and at the end asking if she trusted her (like I said before I really think she already wanted Mariana and knew it) and then the way they looked at each other whilst in the pool with the babies. Perfect!

Ana feeding Mariana the baby food was the cutest, and I know she said the girls weren't ready to be parted because she was afraid of she might have cancer I really do think she also meant because she wanted them there (let's not forget the lengths she went to make Mariana stay when Juan Carlos said he thought it was time to get back to normal).

Ana's "Te amo" makes lots of people think it came out of nowhere, but I don't think so. I really do believe she fell in love with Mariana, silently and without even noticing - the lingering gazes and gentle touches are some indication - and while she was drugged and asked Mariana to promise her to take care of the girls and she did I guess it hit her right then and there how much she fell for her and you know, most people do say that when you're drunk or high you tend to do and say the things you really want to because your filter just doesn't work. So yeah, I admit to me it was both unexpected and not at all.

I keep wondering if Mariana would have told Ana that she kissed her had she not told her she needed to do the biopsy to rule out cancer. Either way I love everything about the scene. How grateful Ana is to know that she can count on Mariana and how fearful Mariana looks. I loved that Mariana just stopped everything to accompany Ana to the hospital.

I loved that Mariana never for one second seemed to think of saying yes to Pablo and how even with all of her mother bs she refused to live with them because Ana needs her.

The baptism is the peak. Their bonding ceremony is not only wedding vows worthy but it's also the it finally hits Mariana that she fell for Ana, and I just love the gay panic she clearly has. I love her face of fool in love when Ana goes to her friends and how happy both of them look while holding the girls through the ceremonies.

Even if I'm very grateful for the declaration and the kiss we got - highlight for the lightning of this scene. The way the sun hits them helps give the impression that they will work it our - however Mariana should've processed her feelings first but I get her, she was afraid of losing Ana without a fighting chance - both for not telling and for Ana may having cancer. That scene is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking with both of them so miserable. The ending is one more proof of how well this show knows to pair scenes and songs. Cobarde's lyrics is so perfect it feels like it was made for the scene (or perhaps the scene was thought for the song).

I really hope we get these two together in season 2 - however I love me some angst, and usually is what we get, so I think that Ana's tests will come back positive and that Mariana will go back to take care of her and things will go on from that.

And that was my TedTalk, thank you for having the patience to read the ramblings of a very enthusiastic viewer.

to watch you fall, part 5 of 6

On AO3

Five times Buck and Eddie were oblivious idiots (in love), and the one time they weren't.

Or, Buddie through Maddie's eyes.

Madney's baby is born!! Bit of fluff ahead... ps, I stole the kid's name from @maddieandchimney (with permission lol)

When her water broke, Maddie was hanging out with Buck, who'd come to visit her like he always did on his days off. He was worried about her, Maddie could tell, and he was even more so now. She'd been to the hospital just yesterday, because she thought she was having contractions, but the doctor had told her those were just Braxton hicks and sent her home, so she had been mostly ignoring them for the past twenty hours or so. Now, though, she wished she hadn't. She stared at the puddle at her feet, uncomprehending, then, as calmly as she could, she called out for her brother.

He got up off the couch, phone in hand and walked over to her. "Yeah?" He asked distractedly.

"The baby is coming."

His head snapped up, eyes wide and mouth open. "The baby-?"

She smiled through the pain. "She's coming."

"Oh, God, what do I need- what do you need?" He sort of spun around himself, going in different directions and then thinking better of it. She might have laughed if an intense contraction hadn't hit her in that exact moment. He saw her hunch over and hurried over to her; somehow, seeing her in pain had lessened his panic. He offered his hand, and she took it gratefully. From the wince on his face, she guessed she'd squeezed too hard. "Sorry," she said when it let up.

"It's fine," he told her, and gently guided her toward her bedroom. "Anything you need before we head to the hospital?"

"My bags, they're under the bed." He was nodding. "Also, new underwear," she added, just to see the disgust on his face."

"Ew, no, you're getting those."

She laughed, and let him drag her into his side.

"Hey, you're both going to be okay," he said as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head. He stopped dead in his tracks. "Please tell me you two thought of a name? We can't keep calling her Mango."

Buck couldn't get a hold of Howie, and he assured her it must be because he's on a call. She tried not to panic and told herself to keep taking deep breaths.

Buck stayed with her the whole time, distracting her as best as he could.

"Mom and dad," she gasped out, remembering just as another contraction hit. He gave her his hand and she squeezed the life out of it. The poor thing had become so accustomed to it that he didn't even show discomfort.

"Called them. They're on their way."

She leant back as the contraction eased, and her brother took the small bright green towel she'd packed and wiped away the sweat. "Thanks for being here, Buck," she panted. "And thank you for talking to them, I know things are still weird between you."

He shrugged. "Wasn't about me, Mads. And- I'm glad to be here."

She squeezed his hand and grit her teeth. "Where's Chimney?" She cried quietly after a minute, unable to stop the tears.

"Hey, he's gonna be here soon, okay? I'm sure everything's okay, he's probably just busy with a call and hasn't had a chance to check his phone."

"He should be here," she stuttered out.

He wiped away her tears with his free hand and smiled gently. "And he will be. You'll see."

He stepped out when the doctor came to examine her, and when he came back, he had a smile on his face. "He's on his way. Everyone is." He reclaimed his seat, and she she reclaimed his hand. "Turns out, his phone fell in a pool during a call. I called Eddie and he delivered the news."

"Eddie," she said through gritted teeth, and once the contraction eased up, she continued. "Have you talked to him?"

"About?"

"About your feelings for him!"

He stared at her in disbelief. "You're thinking about this now?"

"Yes-" Deep breaths, Maddie, Deep breaths. A couple more hours and you get to meet your daughter. "Now, tell me," she demanded.

"Nothing to tell."

"He broke up with Ana!"

"So?"

"So? You're both single, and you're both- oh, God-hmmm," she breathed through the pain, and when it faded, she opened her eyes and powered through, "- and you're both obviously gone for each other. So, What are you waiting for?"

He used the towel to wipe away the sweat on her forehead and rolled his eyes. "So, nothing. It wasn't just Ana. It's- a million other things, Maddie. And now is not the time for you to worry about my love life. How are you even talking right now?"

She was about to argue when the door banged open and Chimney came running into the room. She let out a relieved sob and reached out for him. Buck steeped aside and Chimney took his place, taking her hand and pressing kisses all over hear sweaty face. "I'm so sorry I wasn't here."

She smiled through her tears and shook her head. "You're here now."

Buck placed a kiss on her head, then quietly left the room.

Howie kissed her lips, soft and sweet. "I love you."

She was stunned when she realized, in that moment, there was nothing she wanted more than to say it back. But she didn't, because she wasn't ready to do it yet.

So she just smiled and kissed him back, hoping it was enough.

The second she held her daughter in her arms, all the pain she'd experienced before was forgotten. Howie was beside her on the bed, staring at the little bundle in her arms with the kind of awe that was so endearing that she had to bring him closer for a kiss.

"I can't believe she's here," he whispered against her lips.

"Yeah," Maddie laughed. "I think you should go ahead and tell everyone to come in now."

He snorted. "Yeah, last time I was there, Buck was doing his best to give himself a heart attack by reading about all the things that could go wrong during a birth."

She smiled, and then she felt this intense need to see her brother and have him meet her daughter. "Can you please go get him?"

He kissed her head, then nodded. "I'll be right back."

A minute or two later, there was a quiet knock on her door and she looked up. Buck poked his head in and she couldn't help the smile that split her face. "Hey, you- come meet your niece."

He was beside her in two quick strides, and she heard him sniffle. "She's so beautiful, Mads. You did so good."

"She is, isn't she?" She said proudly. "Do you want to hold her?"

"Yeah," he said and extended his hands. She'd expected him to be hesitant, or to hold her wrong, but to her surprise, he was confident, and gentle. When he took her daughter's hand in his, he lifted it up to his mouth and pressed a kiss there, his face full of love for the little girl, and Maddie started to cry quietly. Buck laughed at her, and transferred her daughter so that he was holding her with one arm, then sat beside Maddie and held her with the other. "Why are you crying?"

"I just love you, baby brother."

"Love you too, sis."

Chimney came in then, with Eddie, Bobby, Hen and Athena in tow. Maddie dried her eyes and greeted them all with a wide smile. Buck stood up with the little girl in his arms and Howie took his place. Everyone crowded around her brother, who was showing her off like the proud uncle he was, and they started to coo and fawn over her. Howie leaned closer. "Albert will be here in half an hour or so."

"Can't wait to watch him panic over holding her."

She heard Eddie let out a soft laugh and when she looked over, he was watching Buck talk to his niece, eyes soft and maybe even wistful. He joined in, and though she couldn't hear what they were saying, their eyes said it all. Buck said something that made Eddie laugh again and lean down to look closely. "It's true!" He protested loudly, and Buck shook his head at him.

Eddie huffed and fixed Maddie and Chimney with a look. "Back me up here, her eyes are blue like his, right?"

Maddie shook her head. "Still too soon to tell, Eddie."

"She's gonna have blue eyes," he told them confidently.

"Willing to bet on it, Eddie?" Hen asked with a smirk.

Maddie spluttered. "You are not betting on my daughter!"

"You're no fun," Hen told her mildly.

"Quit hogging that baby, Buckaroo," Athena muttered as she waved her hands impatiently.

Buck dutifully handed the baby over, then went back to standing so close to Eddie there was barely a hair of space between them. Eddie's phone rang.

"Oh, it's Christopher!"

Buck perked up, and though Maddie hadn't thought it would be possible, he moved even closer to Eddie.

"Dad! Buck!"

"Hey, Christopher," her brother called enthusiastically, and Eddie smiled fondly at him.

"Maddie and the baby are okay," Eddie assured the little boy, and Maddie wished he'd brought him with him.

"Hey, you want to meet her?" Buck asked, smiling so wide Maddie was sure his cheeks hurt at this point.

"Yeah!"

Buck went over to Bobby, who handed him the baby with, Maddie realized, a knowing look.

Buck bounded back over to Eddie, and he held the baby up a little. "Here she is," he said proudly and Maddie had to smile through her tears. Not for the first time, she realized how lucky both she and her daughter were for having Buck in their life.

"She's so tiny!"

Everyone in the room laughed.

Christopher asked a few more questions, and Buck and Eddie took turns answering them. Maddie was pleasantly surprised when just before he hung up, Christopher asked to talk to her.

"I'm glad you and the baby are okay," he told her quietly, shyly.

Maddie pursed her lips to keep from crying and smiled widely. "Thank you, sweetie. Come visit us soon, okay? I want you to meet her properly."

His eyebrows drew together and he peered closer. "What's the baby's name?"

Buck looked at them with wide eyes. "I can't believe I forgot to ask!"

Maddie herself had forgotten, too. So had everyone else.

She looked at Howie, and they shared a smile. "Amelia Joy," her boyfriend told them proudly.

"Amelia Joy Buckley-Han."

Instinct

I'm so nervous for posting this for Day 3, I worry if anyone would read about Ana and Mora since they're not even secundary characters, they are just extras not in my heart but in the show, and this made it harder to write it. Anyway, it's here and I hope you like it.

Shout out to @sapphire374 for easing my worries and beta reading it 💛

Find all fics for Soy Luna Ficweek 2021, here

Day 3

Prompt: “Is this the second time we’ve both gotten stuck in the same elevator?”

Summary: The first time Ana and Mora got stuck in the elevator was when they stopped talking, a week later when it happens again: is it the time to rebound? or something more?

Warning: unfortunately it's not canon. Tino and Cato don't exist, they have never seen them, no one knows them in this fic

Genre: angst

Pairing: Ana and Mora a.k.a the lesbian moms

---

Another silent morning in the apartment, a rare situation for Nina. From what she could remember, there has never been a quiet day home ever since they moved in. Mora's sewing machine, some random song playing as background noise, or just Buenos Aires' downtown being crowded and busy. Although she appreciated the silence, it's odd, the girl is not used to it anymore.

Now both her mom and auntie didn't exchange a word, Mora has been working on arranging some photoshoots, she woke up for lunchtime and only came back late at night, while Ana left early for her meetings then arrived at 4 pm. Seems like they had it all planned out just so they didn't have to face each other.

Nina didn't know what happened between them but hoped it would go away soon.

Well, unexpectedly it got different from other days from the beginning. When Nina left her room, Mora was awake and making herself breakfast. The girl checked the clock again, still at 7 am.

"Good morning, cariño" Mora smiled at her while Nina approached to sit on the chair.

"Morning." She reached for the bread slowly, hesitant. Her instincts told her to move carefully. "I thought I'd only see you later." Mora laughed but it was too stiff.

"I have to drive 3 hours to check for some special fabrics I'm looking for." The redhead tried to show excitement, however, such a rush manner showed her nervousness. Nina knew it wasn't about the fabrics. As soon as the clicks sound of Ana's heels started, Mora stands up. "I really need to go. Bye, darling." And left through the door carrying her purse, phone, and keys.

"Good luck there." Nina greets her and takes Mora's plate away immediately. She'd rather not step into whatever happened. Ana comes from her room in a rush and Nina wide her eyes when her mom gets to the front door. "Mom, you can't leave without eating."

"I'm late already. Sorry, cariño. I'll be back early. Bye… Hold the door, please!" Ana fleed before Nina could react. The girl opens the door to check on them but they were already gone.

The silence from home followed them into the elevator. None dared to look up from their phones. Mora started to tap her foot impatiently when she noticed the elevator was slow today.

"Can you stop?" Ana asked, staring at her screen.

"Oh, good morning. Now you can see me." Mora smirked, still avoiding Ana's face, kept tapping her shoe.

"More like I can hear you. Always so noisy."

"Can you? It didn't seem like that last week." The snark got the fashion designer, she provoked back looking at Ana and waiting for a reaction but she got nothing. "Back to ignoring me. Hope Mario has a better shot talking to you than I do." The lack of response from the lawyer building up her annoyance. "Even though we live together and have been friends for a lifetime. You rather believe in him than..."

"Give me a reason," Ana said, losing her temper. The elevator stops, slowing down. "I need a plea." Walking side to side in this shiny box they were failing to realize they were trapped in.

"My instincts are not a good one. I don't trust him." Mora decided to watch her friend through the reflection, pretending to fix her hair in the mirror.

"Of course not." Ana laughed at her. "Do you think I can defend a case based on your feelings? A judge would accept it, declare him guilt for you." Her voice was cold, but the rage -boiling inside was still audible.

"You're not a judge, Ana." Turning around she steps in Ana's way, staring at her. "Ain't a case but your life." Each word was another step forward, the lawyer's back hit the wall, but she wouldn't give up on a debate, her index finger touched Mora's shoulder.

"That's exactly the problem." This time the designer was the one walking backward. "My life is never good enough for you. I can't even decide on Nina's life without you around." Mora's jaw dropped and she stuttered, with a non-comprehensible sound coming from her mouth. "Not even a boyfriend." That's the moment Ana breaks, lowering her head and resting on Mora's shoulder while the other was glued on the wall, still recovering from shook, nevertheless, she wrapped her arms around her friend's body.

"I… I'm sorry, I didn't… mean to make you feel less..." trying to find words at that moment was completely useless, not even in her wildest dreams she would have imagined she made Ana doubt herself. Her friend's knees seemed to give up and her body weighted, they sank to the floor while Ana let out all she needed to. It's been ages since the lawyer opened herself like this, they were best friends, Mora knew Ana has been holding up for who knows how long, well if that's even considered opening up.

All the signs Mora neglected before came down on her. Ana has been distant for months, she pushed Mora away, anytime they were alone and approached each other, Ana would step away like her skin burned from the contact.

Mora kept Ana pressed against her body until the very last tear she had, waiting for her to calm down. Once Ana's sobs were more spaced, she raised her head displaying her red cheeks, Mara's heart stings with this scene, her hands capture Ana's face moving toward her until their forehead touches.

"I'm sorry, I..." Shutting her eyes, unable to face the tears that still shine on her lover's face. Guilty fell hard on her shoulders. Ana fought to be an independent woman who could support her daughter without her ex's money, Mora watched how much she struggled to get there, yet the main person who helped her in all her lows is also the same who stuck her nose in all her matters, Mora was both a guardian and a butcher. Now that she has to take a good on her actions, Mora told Nina she should follow her heart and go after Gastón if that's her desire, while Ana, Nina's mother, had explicit disagreed about this idea. She should've considered that maybe she wasn't helping Ana see another point of view but making it harder to care for her own daughter.

There was an even worse thought haunting her, she told Nina to go because she feared Gastón would repeat her story, going to another country and losing the love of her life, forever wondering what would have happened if she stayed. That thought scared her, she denied it to herself but it had lived in her mind for so long.

When Mora went to Germany, she made her choice, decided to go on an adventure instead of staying with Ana. She was young, by the time believed they would still be the same through distance, their relationship wouldn't change, but that's not what happened. It came out to be harder than she thought, they never revealed themselves as a couple, it was so natural for them to be together like that, the sneaking out, sleepovers, kisses, and loving moments were part of their friends, they didn't feel the need to label that. Once distance came into the scene, it got complicated, both noticing how much they missed each other, although not willing to give up on their paths, not labeling their friendship made it easier to move on, no one but them knew what went on inside those walls, they just had to keep going. They never stopped talking completely, they called each other every other week updating about their lives, never talking about their relationship, how they missed each other's touch.

When Mora visited Argentina, she learned about Ana and Ricardo's relationship, they were dating, that's when what was between them seemed to be forgotten by Ana. Mora was happy for her friend, of course, but they never left her mind.

Nothing happened while Ana's married, Mora's life went on. Both of them supported each other, and were always around. Nina's birth was emotional just like all the previous months Mora spent by Ana's side. They never regretted the choice that took them to that day.

Then suddenly came the divorce, not long after Ana needed a place to stay with Nina, Mora's house was always open for them, so they started to live together.

The intimacy level acquired from sharing the same place made them go back to their old ways. Little by little, their old friendship came back to the same mold from when they were young. Sometimes they kissed after drinking some wine, sneaked to each other’s bed after Nina went to bed, or just cooked together and held hands during dinner. Plus, small touches in public, taking care of Nina, going to the supermarket. Small domestic daily moments that made them feel comfortable.

Mora finally had it in her hands, everything she imagines. Then, Ana backed away, slipping through her fingers. None of them said a word about it, the unspoken words lost in the silence.

"I'm sorry," She repeated, opening her eyes again, Ana shook her head, scaring Mora. "Ana..." She had to admit it, she knows it wasn't right to push her own experience on Nina.

"You were right." When Ana said that, More dropped her hands confused. Ana leaned back against the wall, now sitting by Mora's side and looking to the elevator's door. "Thiago is a liar." Mora was even more lost. Who the hell is Thiago? "He is married." Ah, he is the boyfriend. It wasn't that deep for Mora, nothing personal, she just felt it in her that guy shouldn't be trusted. She felt a little proud and bit her bottom lip to prevent herself from smiling. Ana looked at her frustrated. "You're annoying, I can see you smiling. Yes, you told me, whatever." Watching Ana complain was the same as seeing an old picture, Ana was still the girl from school days behind the successful lawyer and tough mom facade.

"Ana," She waited for Ana to look at her. "It was an instinct."

"Shut up!" The answer didn't surprise Mora, but the small that followed it did. Ana closed her eyes and faced the ceiling, the smile glued on her face. "It's not that I don't want you in my life, you were always there for me." She faced Mora again. "But when it comes to Nina, don't disagree with how I raise my kid. She's a teen, just wants echo to confirm her ideas, they don't know the consequences."

"Nina is really responsible, you should give her more credit." Mora couldn't stop the words from coming out. When Ana narrowed her eyes, she raised her hands in defeat. "She had an amazing mom to teach her." Added with a wink making Ana laugh, she approached her face to Mora. The designer became extremely aware of the short space between them, a few inches to no distance at all.

"She's 17." They exchange looks. Too meaningful, too painful. That's the same age they separated.

"Why didn't you go?" It came out as a whisper, due to the almost non-existent distance Ana could hear perfectly, Mora should've stopped herself. That was a forbidden question. Ana immediately pulled away, looked at the elevator's screen.

They weren't working.

She picked up her phone to look at the hours, then looked at her watch. 20 minutes since she left the apartment since she left to her next meeting, she doesn't have to worry about it for the next 40 minutes.

"Why are you up so early?" Ana questioned only now noticing how weird this scene was.

"It's time to look for fabrics." Mora answered, snapping out of her thoughts.

"You'll drive for 3 hours again? You should've scheduled it for later, you don't drive well when you're sleepy, it's early for you." Her worries were real, Mora wasn't awake before 10 am at least. Listening to her made Mora feel a little warmer and a wide smile appeared without her consent. "How can you drive? You didn't even notice we were stuck in here." Mora really didn't notice.

"Is this the second time we’ve both gotten stuck in the same elevator?” Mora joked that both of them laughed. "One time for the present, two times for the past."

"Yeah, this time is fixing what the first time did." Ana reached for Mora's hand, intertwining their fingers. Mora caught her breath. A voice came from the speaker above the floor screen.

"We're sorry for the inconvenience. The elevator will be moving in a few minutes." Ana recognized the janitor's voice. Mora was stuck looking at Ana.

"We'll be free soon." Ana stood up, keeping their hands locked, then noticed Mora's eyes on her face. "Is there something on my face?" She turned to the mirror. Her mask was ruined, her cheeks were reddened and glistened from the tears, hair fell from the elegant ponytail she caged them earlier, her lipstick was smugged. She was a mess, but in Mora's eyes, she was beautiful. "I'll need to go home and fix myself." Noted annoyed.

"No, I can do it." Mora raised from the floor, got her make up from the purse to work with it. Ana decided to let Mora paint her as she desired, feeling a bit nervous but she wanted to show Mora she trusted her. Ana knows Mora is feeling bad for today's argument already and she saw every wince of pain that flashed in her dark eyes every time Ana rejected her touch.

Mora focused on making Ana's make up, trying to tone down her ideas for Ana's face and making something that would make her comfortable and pretty. It worked well until it was time to work on her mouth, Mora decided on a lip tint, in this case for her own sanity, lipstick would demand too much time working on a painting she wanted to ruin, too tempting. Her hand started shaking, Ana noticed it too but before the suggestion of doing it herself came out, Mora put the lip tint in her pocket.

"I forgot the hair. Lips are the grand finale." As soon as Mora had to reach her hand for Ana's she noticed that was a terrible idea. While Mora pulled the lawyer's hair free, Ana shivered at the quick contact of her hand against Ana's scalp. Memories from other moments those same fingers touched that place rushed back to her mind, her eyes closing to better appreciate the feeling. Mora saw this reaction and rested her hand on Ana's neck, watching the reaction until she couldn't help but lean in and close the gap between them, crashing her lips on hers quickly. The kiss was chaste, as fast it came, it ended.

Seeming to Ana as if her imagination had created the feeling because when she eyed Mora, the lip tint was back and she was ready to place it. But the beam on Mora's lip couldn't be denied. It happened, an instinct told Ana it did.

WIG REVIEW: THE HAPPIEST SEASON

You guys! I finally watched the lesbian holiday movie!! Though when I texted my mom to tell her I was finally watching this, she thought I was talking about The Prom and I laughed for a real long time about it (mainly because it will take me an even longer time to get around to hate watching that!) It already took about a month to get to this one. There is a lot to discuss here - and also one wig!

So this is the first (big budget) holiday lesbian movie, which I am very here for. However, most of the movie feels like a combination between My Best Friend’s Wedding, Meet the Parents, and The Family Stone but with lesbians. Those movies were made between 1997 and 2005 and this movie feels like it should exist somewhere in that time as well. The whole plot of the movie is basically that Kristen Stewart (Abby) has to pretend NOT to be Mackenzie Davis’s (Harper’s) long-term girlfriend for the sake of Harper’s conservative family with local political aspirations while also spending 5 days with them during Christmas. It’s a conceit that exists solely in these brand of garbage holiday rom coms but definitely one that feels bizarrely antiquated as well.

Anyway! There is only one wig in this movie which belongs to Davis, who had a vastly superior lesbian wig in that one episode of Black Mirror that made us all cry. We first see this under this hat where it should have hidden for the rest of the film!

Sadly, the next scene involves the full emergence of this wig and truly: NO. This thing is dried out, bent, and disheveled in not a cool way (Stewart’s actual hair is disheveled in a cool way, though). The entire presence of this wig bothers me because: just have her have whatever hair she has? This is not a historical recreation (that I’m aware of?) and she is not playing a real person! This feels like when SNL cast members wear wigs in sketches for similarly non-existent reasons. However, SNL wigs are vastly superior to this mess!

So anyway, Harper invites Abby to have Christmas at her parents’ house in the heat of the moment during a very romantic (?) Pittsburgh Christmas lights tour which is apparently something that exists. Abby conveniently, and completely for the sake of this plot to work (?) does not like Christmas and also is an orphan, getting rid of any possible Christmas plan conflicts. And then literally on the way to visiting Harper’s family, she is all: by the way, they don’t know you’re my girlfriend or that I’m a lesbian and you have to go along with it for sake of this movie to exist even though this is absolutely a terrible thing to ask of anyone, periodt. But we are beginning to find out that Harper’s character is as full of garbage as her wig.

So we meet the parents, who are Victor Garber, Mary Steenbergen, and also Mary Steenbergen’s iPad which vulture correctly identifies as the star of this movie AND IT IS. Especially during the end credits where we get to see all the pics the iPad takes! But I’m getting ahead of myself. The parents live in one of those cavernous houses that is definitely a mansion but tries to feel homey even though it probably has about 12 bedrooms and usually only exists in a Nancy Meyers movie. Despite its amount of bedrooms, Abby has to sleep in a basement bunker which also doubles as a well organized rubbermaid storage unit. For the rest of the movie, Abby is treated like a subhuman trash person much in the way Ben Stiller is treated in Meet the Parents and Sarah Jessica Parker is treated in The Family Stone, except they don’t also have to pretend to not be in a relationship with the family member they arrived with. This conceit becomes so degrading that you honestly wonder why these people are still together!

Abby endures scene after scene of total nonsense and still looks better than the wig on her terrible girlfriend. Which starts actually looking better in a few of these scenes but still is very much a terrible and noticeable wig which is on par with Rachel McAdams’ wig in Mean Girls in that we are constantly told that these women are gorgeous and every single time I ask “YOU MEAN WITH THAT TERRIBLE WIG ON THEIR HEADS????” I suppose this wig was “necessary” because Harper’s two sisters also have long-ish brown hair so they were going for some sort of familial consistency except one daughter has a terrible wig and the other two have hair. Also one sister is Alison Brie, who plays a harpy so awful that she starts to make Harper look palatable and one sister is Mary Holland, who also cowrote the script, and definitely wrote herself the only character who I’d like to meet in real life.

Along the way, we also meet Aubrey Plaza, who I usually hate because she is just one-note sullen, but here is actually great as Harper’s high school ex-girlfriend who Harper outted and allowed to be bullied and wow Harper - you have been terrible for decades!! Also compared to Harper, Aubrey has beautiful (real) hair, doesn’t lie to her entire family, and has actual chemistry with Abby. I very much wanted Abby to end up with Aubrey and I am not alone! Harper somehow avoids Abby for most of the time they are both staying in the same (albeit huge) house and there is even a dumb subplot about Abby being framed for shoplifting while trying to buy a gift for the parents’ very important white elephant gift exchange during their very important Christmas Eve party and I wonder if any of these people really knows what a white elephant gift is or how to exist in society? Meanwhile, as Harper reverts to being more falsely heteronormative at her parents house, I started to wonder if her wig was trying to serve a larger purpose in showing how fake this character is but: no it’s just a bad wig. Also this movie really does the impossible: it makes me care about and feel bad for Kristen Stewart!

Although I did find it highly questionable that though they are the stars of a romantic comedy, neither Kristen Stewart or Mackenzie Davis is funny AT ALL. Like not even a little! Which makes the “comedic” plight of Stewart all the more upsetting! All comedy is left to the one good daughter (Mary Holland) and also all gay men in the movie. This is mainly Abby’s bff and national (Canadian) treasure, Dan Levy and also Drag Race faves Jinxx Monsoon and Ben De-La-Creme in this one gay bar scene which is honestly truly inconceivable and except for further cementing the fact that Abby and Aubrey really should get together.

In the end, Alison Brie finds out Harper’s TERRIBLE SECRET THAT NO ONE IN 2020 COULD POSSIBLY FATHOM (that she’s a lesbian) and they have a fight in the middle of the white elephant party which reveals that all the family has been competing for years for each other’s love which is really really messed up and now I kind of hate everyone in this family. And also Harper is outed to her entire terrible family and also Ana Gasteyer (and also a room full of other randos). And she denies her lesbian truth! I recently watched Uncle Frank which is essentially everything Hillbilly Elegy wanted to be but is Shakespeare compared to that mess, and a similar scene occurs but that character bravely faces the truth - and in 1970s SOUTH CAROLINA!! I don’t know what time or space this movie thinks it exists in but it is baffling. Still, Dan Levy gives an emotional monologue about how no one can decide when anyone else is ready to come out of the closet so: FAIR. And then Harper does come out and the entire family kind gives absolutely no reaction to this until Victor Garber says it’s ok?? ABSOLUTELY AND TRULY BIZARRELY PATRIARCHAL. And then Harper and Abby get back together in the parking lot of a Love’s convenience store which is as cheesy and clunky as any garbage holiday rom com so I guess this is definitely a new holiday “classic” which I’ll probably watch 100 more times and hate Harper and her terrible wig each time about as much as I hate Laura Linney’s terrible life choices in Love, Actually. AS CONFOUNDING AS HARPER’S WIG OR THE CHOICE TO GIVE HER ONE AT ALL!

VERDICT: DOESN’T WURQ

My RL gameplay (18+)

CW addiction, adult themes

My sister also came to Sandra, which is why we stayed for a while. Actually, I should go home, because my parents forbid me to go out. The situation is still tense, especially since my drug tests have been positive for the last few days. And what did I do with Sofia, the other day, when we ran into each other? Did we actually only talk briefly? No, of course not! 😔 I’m gonna tell S., that Nico’s Mom met me, at Philip’s parents’s house. Sandra also finally told Ana and me, how she met her stupid boyfriend. I swear, this guy is a real nuisance! He just ruins everything! He started annoying Philip and told him something about me, which made Philip totally mad afterwards. And even Ana will freak out! She just couldn’t stand this guy’s bullshit-talk! She heard what he said to Philip.

I will have really big trouble with my parents. My parents were fed up with me, and they kicked me out? But later more about this.

Sandra, Ana & I sat in the livingroom. We had a chat and Philip was in the kitchten. He was playing with his phone, but S.’s BF went over to him and started bugging P.. I think her stupid BF, overheard Sandra & me, when I was with her a few days ago. We talked about Nico, and he used this to unsettle Philip.😠

Sandra: I apologize for this idiot, A.! 😔 You really didn’t have to do this all by yourself! And that I mentioned this thing with your bed, Philip & you, I did this on purpose, to annoy him! You know why! And honestly, I liked Philip tease him about his fucking sister-in-law. 😒

Me: I don’t care anyway! But the way your boyfriend reacted, really pissed me off! That he would kick me out, because I’m having sex with P. in my room. We love each other! So..?? And even if NOT!! 🤷‍♀️ I mean, he’s acting like I’m totally indecent! Some fun wouldn’t hurt him either! Maybe that’s why he’s so obnoxious! 😒

Sandra: You won’t believe it, but the other day he actually had sex with me, when I had a fight with him about it. But Idk? 😕 It just didn’t work for me with him! 😔

Me: I’m sorry S.! But I think you & this guy just doesn’t fit! He would get along much better with our parents, than with us. He’s only 6 years older, but he acts like we’re just annoying kids for him.

Ana: Yeah, and you never told us, where you met him! 🤔

Sandra: I’m kind of embarrassed! 😳 🙈

Me: You can tell Ana & me everything. 🤷‍♀️

Sandra: You two! 🤨 You’re just gonna make stupid jokes! I know you! Like with my ex!

Ana: Agh! Come on, S.! You two are joking about my boyfriend, too! You call him a vampire and you make Twilight jokes about us.

Sandra: Your sister & P.! But not me!... Anyway.

Ana: Did you kidnap this boring guy from a retirement home or what?

Sandra: Damn guys! 🤦‍♀️ 😄 I swear, it was actually similar. My mom’s a nurse as you know and one of her patients, an old woman, she knew my mom had a daughter. Me! 🤷‍♀️ And this old woman, she had the idea, to set me up with her nephew. My mom saw him there a few times, when he was visiting that old aunt , and so she set us up. But my mom found out, I was visiting my ex in prison and she was afraid I’d get back together with him.😬 I think that’s why, she did this.

Me: If only your mom knew, he was gonna get you pregnant.🤦‍♀️ But, didn't you use protection? 😦 🤔

Sandra: You remember when we were at the gynecologist, when you were afraid, you might be pregnant with Nico or Philip? That day, I switched from the 3 month injection to this.... new contraceptive. This one new Band Aid, you knwo? And it just didn’t work for me?... But anyway! I can’t be with him anymore.😒

Ana: And now to you, A.! 🤨 Why was your drug test positive again? I come from home and Mom was totally mad about it.

Me: NO! 😠 I won’t talk to you both about this topic! You just don’t understand me! I’m only talking to my therapist about this!

Sandra: That means you’re back on that shit? 😦 And what about P.? He looks so....fucked up, A.! Does he take drugs with you?

Me: NO & no! Philip is just totally stressed and unfortunately still has a headache, but not as strong as before.

Ana: You know what, A.? I’m starting to think, you’re never gonna stop, or at least not, until you sink really low. You just haven’t been to that point of despair. I just hope it’s not too late for you one day. 🙁 😟

Sandra: Hey, Ana! Why don’t you go over to the kitchen and see what that idiot is doing to P.?

Me: Yeah, I don’t like your boyfriend’s smug grin! 🤨 And Philip looks kind of angry? Maybe we should really go? 😟

Ana: I’m going over there! Let’s see what they’re talking about.

Sandra: Ok, A.! Now please tell me what’s wrong with you? 😟 And why were you at P.’s mom’s house? You knew Nico’s family was right across the street! And what did Nico’s mom say to you? And what did P.’s mom say about Philip being so bad? Is everything okay between P & you?

Me: Holy shit, S.! Slow down!... I didn’t want to go to Philip’s mom! But she was worried about him and Philip wouldn’t have left without me, you know? Actually, everything was fine! I had fun with Fabienne and P.’s Mom, was with Fabienne & me, swimming. And....I really love P. so much, S.! And I’m crazy about him! Really crazy, if you know what I mean? But WHY is Nico still haunting my mind? 😩 😢 I just want to be able, to live in my apartment, but once I’m there, all I feel is pain....When Nico’s Mom saw me, she hugged me and started crying. And...ugh! 🤦‍♀️ I was so sad too & started crying with her. She was visiting N. 2 weeks ago. 😳 And actually, he could have come home now. But he didn’t want to! 🙁 He just wants to focus on soccer. Maybe he’ll come home in the summer, because of Melanie’s wedding.

Sandra: Wow, Nico’s Mom is so nice. I guess she really likes you. 😕

Me: I feel so shitty S.! 😢 Everything that happened is just my fault! Nico & Philip tried! They would have done it for me, but I? I just....met with D.! And took drugs with him in that one club in the bathroom.😔 You were there that day! You saw how much I hurt N.! And because I was so fucking high, I fooled N. & P. that night! I told them, that I had a lot of fun with D. in that fucking bathroom. 🤦‍♀️ 😢 And when I said that shit, Nico was standing in front of me. He wanted to turn my head to himself because I didn’t want to look at him. But I could feel his hand around my neck shaking a bit, like he wanted to choke me for all the shit I did to him. Of course he didn’t but somehow, I wish he’d squeezed! I just hate myself so much! 😠 😢

Sandra: No, A.! Stopt this! N. & P. have also done much wrong! This wasn’t all just your fault! Don’t forget! They were not completely honest with you from the beginning! And that’s exactly why it went wrong. But this is in the past! Why don’t you just move in with Philip, if you can’t stand it in your apartment?

Me: Philip will be gone in three weeks, S.! 😩 Now he will leave too and Idk, if I can do it without him? Just now, that we are so happy and can be together, he has to leave. It’s just not fair! 😩 😥

Ana: Aleksa! Come here please!

My beloved daughter

Request: I was wondering if you would do a one-shot where Jensen's daughter is diagnosed with an auto immune disease like lupus? If you've heard of it?

Pairing: Jensen x Daughter!Reader, Jensen x Danneel

Warnings: angst, talk about autoimmune disease lupus, scared/sick reader, comforting, medical procedures, language

“How about a movie night and some pizza?” Glancing at you Jensen wonders why you are silent. Something is bugging you; Jensen can see it written all over your face. “Kiddo, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, dad.” Rubbing your left leg, you try to hide the pain or that you are scared something is terribly wrong with you.

“Y/N, I know something must be wrong. Does mom know?” Sitting next to you Jensen pats your thigh and you hiss in pain. “Okay, you are in pain, Sweetheart. What happened? Did you fall or did someone hurt you?”

“I don’t know…” Whimpering the words you nervously rub your arm. “Something is wrong, daddy.”

“What do you mean? Y/N, tell me what’s bugging you right now.” Brushing your hair aside you show Jensen a bald patch at the back of your head. “Y/N…”

“That’s not all, dad. Lately, I have joint pain and my muscles ache too. Worse than after a hard work out. I feel like I am tired all the time.” Sniffling you rub your eyes.

“You lost weight too, Y/N. Why didn’t you tell mom so?” Blinking the tears away you wipe your nose with the sleeve of your shirt.

“JJ was sick, and mom was so worried as the doctor told her it might be her appendix. I wanted them to have a nice weekend at the spa. I lied and said there’s a party at Sharon’s place.” Nodding Jensen takes your hand in his, squeezing it gently.

“I’ll get the car and we will drive to the hospital right now. No more hiding anything, Y/N. Wait here and daddy makes sure you will get help.”

On his way out of the house, Jensen needs to take deep breaths. With shaking fingers, he dials his wife’s number.

“We will need to make a complete check-up. Sarah over there will take some blood samples and I will call my colleague to let him have a look at the case of your daughter too. Mr. Ackles, I assume I know what your daughter is suffering off and if I am right, we need to talk about treatment and medication.”

Wide-eyed Jensen watches the doctor talk to the nurse. He can see the pity in her eyes as she takes several blood samples of you and his throat tightens.

“How worse is your assumption?” Voice trembling Jensen holds your hand as the doctor swallows hard.

“If I am right, and I hope I am not, its an autoimmune disease called lupus. But let’s hope my colleague will prove me wrong, Mr. Ackles. If you want to stay with your daughter, you can do so. I’ll be back as soon as we have the results.”

“Which tests will you do to find out if it’s this lupus thingy?” Looking at the doctor, scared the tests will hurt you squeeze your fathers’ hand.

“Don’t worry, Y/N. First, we will do an antinuclear antibody blood test. ANA is a type of antibody directed against the cells' nuclei.” Confused you look at the doctor, not understanding a single word he says.

“Let’s say this specific antibody is present in nearly everybody with active lupus. We use this test as a screening tool.”

“I don’t think I understand what you are saying but if it means we find out what’s happening to my daughter, we are all in, doctor.” Jensen stammers, holding your hand tighter.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Ackles. We will explain the tests more precisely later. For now, we will just name them, okay.” The doctor looks at you, a warm smile on his lips. “We will do more than one antibody test to be sure. We also will run some urine tests.”

Hours later Jensen paces around the hospital room. “Jensen, calm down, Baby. I know you are worried; I am too but we need to wait for the results. I searched for lupus and its…” Sniffling Danneel looks up at Jensen holding out her hand.

“I know, Danny but it drives me crazy to not know what’s wrong with Y/N. All those tests and the doctors running around, taking samples of my daughter.”

“Dad, I am scared…” Sniffling you look at Jensen and Danneel gets up to sling one arm around your shoulders. “We will get through his, Y/N. Everything is going to be alright.”

“What if I got this lupus thingy?” The door opens and you can see it in the doctor’s eyes. Whatever you have, it must be awful…

“Lupus…” Falling into a chair next to your bed Jensen holds back the tears. “My beloved daughter has an autoimmune disease?”

“We are sorry to tell you, Mr. Ackles but we are afraid it is lupus. We should talk about treatment, medications and what we can do to make Y/N live her life as normal as possible.”

While the doctor talks about how to ease your symptoms, bring down inflammation and how to prevent organ damage or other health problems you sniffle silently.

“Shhh, …we will make sure we find the best treatment, Y/N. You are not alone, Sweetheart. Mom and I are here, JJ too. Let’s listen to the doctor, okay.”

Nodding you lean your head against your fathers’ shoulder, listening closely to the doctor’s explanations. With every word leaving the doctor's mouth you become angstier.

Weeks ago, you were a healthy girl and now you suddenly feel like you are going to die or never be able to live the life you imagined.

“Don’t worry, Y/N. We will be going to kick that diseases ass…” Jensen whispers and you chuckle lightly. “Whatever you need, mom and I will make sure you’ll get it…”

Crazy Christmas C-Dinner

Natasha Romanoff x Reader

Modern AU

Words: 1,265

Warnings: Insinuated vomiting, drinking, that’s p much it, I think.

Request: Nah.

Summary: Natasha was right… you hate that.

A/N: Sorry it’s late, but it’s here now. Also don’t know how good it is. It’s mainly just talking. (This could be read as part three of ‘HOW DO I HANUKKAH?!’ but it can be read on its own too)

(Not my GIF)

***

You sighed heavily, as you shrugged on your suit jacket.

“You alright over there babe?” Natasha asked from behind you, as she fastened her heels.

“Nothing. Just kinda dreading this.”

Natasha chuckled at the exasperation, already flowing through you.

“Don’t worry, babe.” She smiled, walking over to you, lovingly running her hands down the lapels or your suit. “Everything’s gonna be fine.”

“How can you be so sure of that?”

“Because I know my family. And I know yours,” Natasha assured, “They’re gonna get along fine. Too fine in fact. They’re never going to want to leave each other.”

“God, I don’t know which is worse,” you sighed.

“Nor I.”

You groaned flinging your head back.

“Come on.” You could hear the smile in Natasha’s voice, even if she was chiding you. Petting the same lapels of your suit, that she never removed her hands from, and taking a step back. “We’ve gotta get going. We don’t want to miss the first time our family’s meet, do we?” she asked, grabbing your hand and dragging you from the bedroom.

“Don’t we?”

***

Knocking rang throughout the warm, festively decorated, house.

“Coming!” Came your mother’s voice.

The white, wreath clad door, swung open. Revealing yours and Natasha’s beaming faces.

“Hi, mom!”

“Hello, sweetie,” she greeted you, moving to pull you in for a hug and placing a kiss upon your cheek.

“Anna,” Natasha said, with a nod.

“Hello, Natasha, dear.” Ana moved to give Natasha the same treatment, as she did you. “How are you?”

“I’m good.”

“I’m good, too. Thanks for asking,” you sassed, “Where’s dad? Maybe I’ll get some love from him.”

“He’s in the kitchen, cooking dinner,” your mom said, before moving her attention back to the red-head she already considered her daughter, “When will your family be arriving?”

“They should be here any minute now.”

“Ope!” you sounded, looking past your girlfriend, and instead to the silver car pulling up in the empty parking space, you deliberately left open for them, “Speak of the devil’s and they shall come.”

Natasha turned, smile growing wider as she watched her family pile out of the car.

“There’s my girl!” Came Alexei’s loud voice.

“Hi, dad,” Natasha chuckled.

She moved to go meet the burly, Russian man. But could only get one foot down the steps of your parent’s porch, before she was engulfed in his large arms.

“How’s my baby doin?” he asked into her hair.

“I’m doing great. How are you?”

“We can’t complain,” Alexei answered, speaking for himself, Melina, and Yelena.

The large body of your girlfriend’s father bound into you, causing you to stumble back. The man following your steps, as he continued to squeeze you tightly against his chest. Your hand coming up to pat at his back, as you blew his long hair out of your face, while Melina and Yelena came up to greet Natasha, your mother chuckling at the mans loving action towards you.

“Y/N, it’s so good to see you.”

“It’s good to see you too, Alexei.”

“Ahh! And this must be your beautiful mother!” he said, facing Anna, with his arms wide open.

“Yes,” you confirmed, hand coming up to lay upon the man’s back, “Mom, this is Alexei, Natasha’s father. Alexei, this is my mother, Anna.”

“And this is my mom, Melina. And my sister, Yelena,” Natasha continued your introductions. As the two proffered women moved from greeting you with hugs of their own, to meet Anna.

“It’s so nice to meet you all.” She smiled, “Why don’t we all head inside, and you can meet my husband and son?”

“We’d love too,” Melina said, following your mother into the warm house. Everyone else following suit.

“Yeah, we have more than enough alcohol, right?!” you called, just as you entered the threshold.

***

“Maxwell, I really wouldn’t do that, if I were you,” Natasha advised your father.

You watched with an amused smile, as he got ready to take a shot of the vodka that Natasha’s family brought as a gift. The same alcohol your mother, smartly, refused to drink at that moment, thank’s to Natasha’s and Melina’s advice. As the rest of you watched on, smiling.

“Don’t listen to her,” Yelena egged him on, a smirk upon her features.

“Yeah, dad!” you said.

“Have you tried this stuff?” your dad asked you, pointing to the clear drink in his hand.

“I have, yes.” You nodded.

“And?”

“I regret it to this day,” you told him honestly, “Doesn’t stop me, though.”

“Then why aren’t you drinking any now?” your thirteen-year-old brother asked.

“Because I’d rather not be wasted before I even eat dinner.”

“Can I have some?!” he continued excitedly, looking over to your dad.

“No!” your mother and Natasha said at the same time. As you and Melina each said, “Do you wanna die?” and, “That’s not a good idea, little one.”.

Matthew crossed his arms and gave a pout. Sliding down into his chair, his pout holding a slight smile, knowing full well how everyone would react. Your parents were right. He really was turning out like you.

Shaking your head while laughing at the young teenager, you turned to face your father.

“You gonna take the shot, or what?”

“Alright. Alright.” He took a deep breath, before downing the drink.

Gasping over his knees, at the burning feeling travelling throughout his body. Panting before suddenly taking off for the bathroom. Leaving the rest of you behind, laughing in surprise.

“Goddamn! Even I was better than that!” you laughed.

A few minutes later, your father came strolling back into the room.

“How do you feel, buddy?” Alexei asked.

“Well, let’s just say, it burns just a bad in reverse, as it does going down.”

You all let out disgusting sounds, at his words.

“Okay. Enough of this.” Your mother waved her hands around, gesturing to the full room. “Dinners ready.”

***

“Wow, mom. You and dad did a really good job with dinner this year,” you complimented them, with drowsy eyes, as you rubbed your full stomack.

“Hey! I helped!” Matthew said.

“How in the hell did you help?”

“Good thoughts.”

***

So, Natasha was right. And you didn’t know if you wanted to admit that or not.

Not.

You did not.

But! It was gonna come out anyway. You knew that from the smirk upon Natasha’s face.

You thought it would be best to bite the bullet.

“Okay,” you sighed, noticing Natasha’s smirk widen from her spot in the passenger seat of your car, “You were right. It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t bad, at all.”

“Except for Maxwell throwing up,” Natasha pointed out.

“I wasn’t talking about bad for him.”

Natasha laughed, before moving on to tease you, in a sing-song voice, “Told you so.”

“Ugh. I hate you.”

“I love you too, baby.”

You smiled at her words, “I do love you.”

“I know,” she said, leaning over to peck you on your cheek.

The car was silent, all for the Christmas music playing through the radio, for a while. Until.

“I can’t believe our dads are going out fishing together.”

“Are you surprised, though?”

“At how fast it took? Yes.” Natasha nodded.

“Aww. They couldn’t wait to go on their first date,” you joked.

“Neither could our moms,” Natasha laughed.

“I don’t know if it was a mistake introducing them, or not.”

“Depends on who you ask.”

“Us?”

“Then yes. It was a mistake. They’re twice as powerful now. We’re never gonna survive this.”

“So we pick up Matthew and Yelena, and flee the country?” you asked.

“Yes.”

Love Her (Part 9)

Summary: The reader and Dean spend a quiet morning together reflecting on their pasts before they try to get to the bottom of the reader’s legal situation...

Masterlist

Pairing: Doctor!Dean x foster daughter!reader

Word Count: 4,100ish

Warnings: language, mentions of death

______

“There’s flowers here,” you said as Dean picked up the old ones from the cemetery ground fifteen minutes later.

“I bring some for your mom when I come see Jo,” he said, setting a few new blue ones down.

“Thanks. I haven’t been here in a long time,” you said.

“I didn’t know her but she’s important to me,” he said. You took one from his hand and walked over to where Jo was and set one down.

“What about Mr. Jones?” you asked, pointing at the space between the two of them.

“Yeah. You can have one too Jim Jones,” said Dean. “You keep an eye on these ladies for us when we’re not around. Unless you’re a zombie. Otherwise stay there.”

“Zombies aren’t real,” you said.

“I ain’t taking my chances,” he said. He carried the dead flowers over to a trash can and dropped them inside, holding onto one fresh one. He waved you over and he started to walk along one of the small roadways.

“Where are we going?”

“Adam,” he said. “I haven’t been since the funeral but I’m pretty sure it was up here somewhere.”

“You know it wasn’t your fault,” you said.

“He was a child. I wasn’t,” said Dean.

“If something like that happened with me and the twins, would you blame me?”

“No. Never,” he said.

“Then why would you blame yourself?” you asked. “I’m also starting to figure out that adults don’t know half the shit they pretend to.”

“That’s kind of the secret of being an adult, sweetheart. None of us know what we’re doing,” he said.

“Well I think you’re wrong if you think what happened to your brothers was your fault,” you said.

“You don’t know what happened,” he said.

“He fell and hit his head. What, you're gonna find a way to turn off gravity so that doesn’t happen?” you asked. He stared at you before he broke out into a laugh. “I’m serious. You can’t control physics. It wasn’t your fault.”

“You know, of all the people who ever told me it wasn’t my fault, no one ever quite put it like that,” he said. “Gravity. I like that one.”

“Dean.”

“I know it was nothing I did, Y/N,” he said. “I’ve had nineteen years to come to terms with that. Last night was just...I shouldn’t have acted like that in front of you.”

“You’re human. You’re allowed to act like one,” you said. “I was glad you did. Not that you were upset but...you care about me enough to get upset over me...and Adam too.”

“Still the stuff about Adam...I shouldn’t have done that. Ana said one little thing and it set me off,” he said.

“You didn’t get violent. You got upset. Everyone was upset and you take care of everyone else so much you just bottle it up. You gotta let Ana and Sam take care of you sometimes. God knows you aren’t going to let me do it,” you said.

“Can I talk to you like an adult for a minute?” he asked as you walked and you nodded. “The reason I got so upset last night wasn’t just because we found out that something potentially bad has been going on this whole time. It’s that someone I care about, that is my responsibility, was hurt and I couldn’t protect them the way I was supposed to. Again. First it was Sam in the fire as kids and then Adam died and then Jo and then you got ripped away and I realized I should have done more for you and it was just one more person I failed.”

“Dean,” you said, putting your hands in your pockets. “You know that’s completely fucking wrong, don’t you?”

“Uh, no and watch the language,” he said.

“Uh, yeah. You freaking bring my dead mom, a woman you’ve never met by the way, flowers for her grave. That alone should tell you how wrong you are,” you said.

“How did I not fail you?” he said as he stopped all of a sudden.

“You didn’t forget about me. You didn’t stop caring about me. You gave my little brother and sister a dad, and now they have a mom too which I am happy they have because they never had those things. You came back for me. How the fuck did you fail me, Dean?” you asked.

“I shouldn’t have had to come back in the first place,” he said.

“Dean. I’m not a kid. I’m not Ry or Rae. I know you aren’t Superman. You can’t save me from everything. I don’t need to be. But you try on the hard stuff and the only other person that ever gave a shit like that was my mom. You’ve never failed me, Dean. You helped me,” you said. “You didn’t even want me at first and you helped me.”

“That’s not true,” he said.

“You wanted a little girl,” you said.

“Yeah, I did. But then you bumped into me at Paula’s office and yelled at me and I asked her who you were and why you were upset and I chose Rae and Ryan and you after that. I wanted all of you. The idea in my head of my family changed. I wasn’t going to adopt a kid because I needed it but because they needed it more,” he said. “I just wanted all of you after that.”

“Why didn’t-“

“You were angry and so protective of yourself and the twins. You never would have believed me. It was okay. I know us even now, it’s okay if you’re still angry at me.”

“I’m not angry. I was on Saturday night but you kept your promise like you said. I’m not angry at you Dean. I’m done being angry at you,” you said. “Unless you eat my triple fudge ice cream, then I can’t promise anything.”

“I’ll do my best to stay away,” he said, starting to walk again. “Ana has reminded me to be careful around women and chocolate.”

“Smart woman,” you said, bumping his arm. “She’s cute. Ana.”

“We are not having this conversation,” he said.

“Of all the shit we talk about and talking about girls is what scares you?” you said. You giggled, Dean pausing as you kept walking.

“Well if that’s not the most adorable sound I ever heard,” he chuckled. “I’ve never heard you giggle before.”

“I don’t remember the last time I did,” you said. “Oh, and you are not getting out of this one that easy.”

“I like her. What’s there to talk about?” he asked, a shy smile on his face.

“You have such a crush,” you said.

“She’s my fiancé. I think saying I have a crush is a bit redundant,” said Dean.

“You love her?” you asked. He looked back over his shoulder and nodded. “Jo probably would have wanted you to move on and be happy you know.”

“It’s different this time. I don’t love Ana less or anything. One was just, my person, and the other was my ‘we’re both hurt but we can help each other’ person,” he said.

“Ana said she was married before.”

“She understands what it’s like to have loved someone like that before and then lose them. We both do. She’s not scared of my crap and I’m not scared of hers. It’s not any less than what it was like with Jo. It’s just different,” he said.

“I understand,” you said. He veered off to the right and you followed him, Dean slowing his walk. He was looking around for a moment before he stopped at a grave and you stood beside him. “So you haven’t been here since the funeral?”

“No,” he said, setting the flower down. “Too many bad memories.”

“Did you have good ones?” you asked.

“Yeah. I went to college not long after Adam came to live with us. I never knew him as well as Sam or my parents did. He used to avoid me at first. I think he was afraid. I was so angry at dad back then. I don’t blame him,” said Dean.

“Yeah but obviously that changed,” you said.

“I never hated him. I hated the idea of him. But not him. He was just proof of dad’s cheating. But he was a scared little kid all by himself. So Sam was a brother to him and I tried to be one when I was around. I’d take them out for ice cream or we’d go to a baseball game. The camping trip was Adam’s idea. He was so excited. He told all of his friends at school his big brothers were taking him camping,” he said. “It was right after they got done with school for the year. The first two days were great. Then we went for a hike and I got lost.”

“You got lost?”

“Mhm. It started to storm. I slipped and fell. My shoulder popped right out. I shouted pretty loud and Sam and Adam came rushing over apparently they were that close. Sam fell too and landed on his arm. But Adam fell backwards and hit his head. Kid never even felt a thing. Split second and he was gone,” said Dean. “It was an accident and it was my fault.”

“I’m pretty sure Adam would agree with me and say you’re wrong. Again,” you said.

“I know. Can you give me a minute?” he asked. You nodded and went back to the path, finding a bench to sit on. Dean wandered over a few minutes later, sighing as he took a seat. “I should come up here more often. This part of the cemetery. It’s pretty.”

“Feel any better?” you asked.

“Yeah. Ana sort of told me I had to go face my fears,” he said. “Thanks for coming with me.”

“Death doesn’t scare me,” you said. “A lot scares me but not that.”

“You know if I could give you your childhood back I would,” he said. “In a heartbeat.”

“S’okay,” you said with a smile. “I didn’t have the most awesome childhood. I think adulthood is going to go better though.”

“How’s it going so far?” he asked.

“Four days in and it’s pretty good. I get told to swear less often at least,” you said, Dean shaking his head.

“Watch it around the twins and not directed at people,” he said, holding up a finger.

“Deal,” you said. “But it’s good. I feel better. Aside from the whole concussion thing.”

“If there’s ever a next time, let me take the hit, alright?” he said.

“I hope there’s not a next time,” you said, Dean running his thumb gently over your bruised cheek. “So I know I asked this morning but are you doing okay now?”

“I’m better, sweetheart,” he said as he stood up. “Come on. We should head back before our prison warden gets pissed at us for staying out too long.”

“Ana won’t care,” you said, walking back down the path.

“Y/N,” he said after a few minutes of silence. “What you said last night...and the stuff you said today...your mom would be so incredibly proud of who you are. I know I am. You have the right to be anything but kind and you just keep on telling fate where to shove it.”

“I don’t like when you’re upset,” you said. “I don’t like being mean to you either. I’m done with that, Dean.”

“Come on,” he said, kissing the top of your head and throwing his arm over your shoulders. “Let’s go home, sweetheart.”

“Can we take a break?” you asked Sam after his near constant questions that afternoon. He nodded and you put your hands on your head.

“Headache?” asked Dean as you heard water be set down in front of you.

“M’kinda dizzy,” you said, squeezing your eyes shut.

“Just take a second,” he said as you felt Sam’s hand on your shoulder. “That was a lot of walking earlier and Sammy’s lawyer stuff confuses me even.”

You took a few deep breaths and your head got clear again, Dean checking you out when you lifted your head.

“Let’s call it a day,” said Dean. You opened your mouth to protest but he frowned. “Y/N.”

“Fine,” you said.

“Go take a nap in your room. Lights off, no reading for the next few days,” he said.

“Alright, alright,” you said. He went with you and shut your blinds as you lay down with your blanket, letting out a sigh.

“I'll come check on you in a bit, sweetheart,” he said, pulling your door shut.

“She okay?” you heard Sam outside the door.

“Yeah. Too much overstimulation. Brain still has a bruise on it. She needs more breaks if we’re gonna do this again tomorrow,” said Dean.

“I think I got most of the information down, at least on her end,” said Sam.

“So what do you think is going on?” asked Dean.

“I’m not a criminal lawyer, De,” said Sam.

“Sam.”

“Something shady is definitely happening. That was not a standard clause that we found in those papers. Nothing can go beyond this house right now and I mean nothing. The next thing to do, and I will go with Y/N and you tomorrow, but we are going to go downtown and we’re signing the paperwork to have Y/N be released out of foster care. Someone that is not Paula. I’ll read it and then Y/N can sign it and she’s good,” said Sam.

“You think someone might try to take her again?”

“I think she’s in a gray area right now and we want to get her out of it. Yes, she has rights like an adult but we don’t know what might try and be pulled,” said Sam.

“Obviously the dad is involved,” said Dean.

“Maybe. Maybe not,” said Sam.

“Sam, it’s pretty simple. He’s involved.”

“Odds are, yes. But I have to check everything out, very carefully, just in case,” he said. “Okay?”

“I know. Thanks,” said Dean.

“She’s my niece too you know,” said Sam. “I care about her.”

“Adam wouldn’t have been that much older than her. Only nine years,” said Dean after a moment. “You’re not that much older than her.”

“Ana said you guys went up to the cemetery this morning,” said Sam. “I thought you were too scared to ever go see him.”

“I used to be. I needed to go see him though. Y/N has a way of putting things in perspective,” said Dean.

“Kid’s been through shit too,” said Sam.

“But we always had mom and dad. Even when dad and I were horrible to each other, I always had mom or you or Jo or Ana. She had to be Rae and Ryan’s mother half the time before she wound up alone.”

“You had to be my dad half the time.”

“Sam-“

“It was not pretty when the affair came out. You like to forget that mom left us for months and dad was off with his dying girlfriend and you took care of me and Adam. I never forgot that,” said Sam. “Why do you think Y/N can get in your head so easy? You guys are so similar you don’t even know it.”

“I know,” said Dean with a sigh. “Just get her safe tomorrow, Sammy. You can’t even understand how badly I need her to be safe. I don’t want anyone controlling her life anymore.”

“I will. You have to promise to be calm tomorrow,” said Sam. “We’re taking no chances.”

“I’ll be on my best behavior, Sammy.”

“We’ve been waiting over an hour,” you said, laying your head against the conference room table the next day.

“A lot of being a lawyer is waiting around,” said Sam as he taped his pen.

“Remind me to never be a lawyer. No offense,” you said. Sam chuckled and Dean got up from his chair again.

“Relax, Dean,” said Sam as Dean started to pace.

“I’m worried,” said Dean.

“Over what?”

“Have you met me? Everything,” he said.

“Is that why you’re a family doctor?” you asked, both of them looking at you. “Again, no offense. Just curious.”

“No. I uh, wanted to do cardiovascular surgery at first,” said Dean.

“Heart surgeon,” said Sam.

“It’s not just the heart,” said Dean. “But the state offers a deal since family doctors are in short supply. Basically less school, less bills, and the state would cover my student debt as long as I work as a family doctor for ten years. I like kids so it was a no brainer,” said Dean.

“Do you like it?” you asked.

“I like working normal hours and it’s typically non-life threatening stuff,” said Dean. “Pay ain’t bad either.”

“We didn’t have a lot growing up. You’ve seen our parents house,” said Sam.

“I get that,” you said. “Your house is the nicest I’ve ever stayed in.”

“Our house,” said Dean. You lifted your head up. “Our house is the nicest you’ve ever stayed in. Also, our house is nice but it’s not half as nice as the other ones in the neighborhood. A lot of money is getting tucked away for your kid’s college funds. Besides, you’ve never even seen Sam’s.”

“I moved in there like three months ago,” he said.

“Still nice. He has a pool,” said Dean.

“And where is Sam’s new house?” you asked.

“Birch,” he said.

“Isn’t Birch like two streets over?” you asked.

“Mhm,” said Dean with a smirk. “Little brother just couldn’t stand to stay away from me.”

“Don’t make me vomit,” said Sam as the door opened. All three of you turned your heads when you saw a woman you didn’t recognize walk in.

“Kelly Norris. I oversee the local office,” she said, holding out her hand and shaking each of yours. “May I ask what is going on that a lawyer, an ex-foster parent and a foster child are requesting to work with me directly?”

“Just want to make sure my client can leave the system successfully,” said Sam.

“I’m gonna need more than that,” she said.

“A legal adult consulted my services in order to properly leave the system. She is eighteen and this paperwork contains a lot of legalese that most adults couldn’t understand. I am simply here to help,” said Sam.

“We have people to help fosters that are leaving understand those kinds of things,” said Kelly. “It’s a straightforward process that very rarely involves lawyers.”

“I’m sure it does. What’s the harm in having me read over a document with my client?” asked Sam.

“Paula indicated that it was Dr. Winchester who requested a lawyer look at the documents,” said Kelly. You started to get a bad feeling and got up, poking your head out of the room. You quickly went back inside and over to Sam.

“Say you aren’t my lawyer,” you mumbled. He cocked his head and you grabbed his arm. “Say it’s someone else and you’re filling in.”

“Excuse me but what is going on?” asked Kelly.

“Sam isn’t actually my lawyer. He’s filling in for someone today,” you said.

“Well who is your lawyer?”

“Jody Miller. She’s a senior partner at my firm. Something came up last minute and I’m filling in for her,” said Sam.

“You three stay here for a moment,” she said. She left the room and Sam shut the door, throwing his hands up.

“What was that?” he said.

“There’s a cop in the hall,” you said.

“A cop?” asked Dean.

“Oh shit,” said Sam, looking at you and then Dean as you saw it click for him. “I’m pretty sure she just saved all our asses.”

“By lying?” asked Dean.

“By separating herself from us,” said Sam as you nodded. “You sure you don’t want to be a lawyer someday?”

“We’re still screwed if your boss doesn’t cover,” you said.

“Jody will cover. Don’t worry,” said Sam.

“Okay, can you two please explain what is going on?” asked Dean.

“If I’m thinking where Y/N’s head was at, which is very smart for thinking all of five seconds, she’s afraid they were going to say something along the lines that you have an unhealthy obsession with her, I was involved in order to help manipulate Y/N, and that Y/N may be an adult but she’s not mentally capable of making those decisions for herself and should remain in the system until age 21,” said Sam. “Right?”

“Yeah,” you said.

“How did you come up with that on the spot?” asked Dean.

“I read a lot of books?” you said.

“Yeah, well, good for us,” said Dean, rubbing his face. “Unhealthy obsession? Really?”

“Paula likely cited something against you,” said Sam. “I don’t want you to speak to anyone. You are here because Y/N is currently under your care only.”

“What about when they ask where I’m going to go?” you asked. “If I can’t say home.”

“You don’t speak either,” said Sam as he pulled out his phone. “I’m going to get Jody down here. Now.”

“Jody’s awesome,” you said to Sam as you were walking through the parking lot.

“Now Samuel Winchester,” she said when she stopped all of a sudden, Sam gulping as he slowed his walk. “Would you care to tell me why I just lied and pissed off the head of freaking foster care?”

“It’s my fault,” you said.

“Honey, no it ain’t,” she said, looking back at Sam. “Well?”

“Cause they are up to something. This Paula chick that works there. We had to get Y/N in a place where she can’t be moved again. She’s an adult to do as she pleases now,” said Sam.

“You, the foster dad, talk,” said Jody.

“Uh,” said Dean. “I uh-“

“I’m pretty sure they were going to try and force me to stay in the system. Paula was at least,” you said. She glanced at Dean and then Sam.

“Give me a second alone with her,” said Jody. You walked over to an empty parking spot, Jody crossing her arms at you. “That was the right call you made back there. The boss chick ain’t involved I can tell but if you ever hear from that Paula again, you contact me immediately.”

“Okay.”

“Now’s the part you have to decide. I don’t like people that hurt kids so I’ll do this one pro bono. You can decide to dig into this woman, dig into crap you might not want to know, or you can walk away right now and forget about it. Those two boys can’t make that choice for you. It’s got to be yours,” she said.

“She kept me from my family. I want her to pay for that.”

“That’s what I figured. For now let me and Sam work this,” she said. “Consider pre-law while you’re at it.”

“I just want to be left alone honestly,” you said. She nodded.

“The hardest part is over. No one is taking you away after this.”

More Info on Scout’s Brothers in my Interpretation of Them

From working on my latest TF2 fic, I’ve been getting even more invested in my interpretations of Scout’s brothers than I was back when I wrote “Jeremy” last month, so here’s more information on them, including their appearances, who their spouses end up being later on in life, and their kids (if they have any).

(Putting this under a readmore for the sake of literally everyone)

((Tumblr, please don’t fuck this up for mobile readers. If it does end up looking like crap, I’ll make a Google Doc for this.))

Name: Grant Grayson-Kennedy Jr. Age: 34 (11 years older than RED Scout) Gender: Cisgender Man Sexuality: Bisexual Hair Color: Dark Brown Eye Color: Grey Their Mother: Rebecca “Becky” Kennedy Their Father: Grant Grayson Sr. Their S/O: Amelia O’Malley (36) Their Children: Lauren Grayson-Kennedy (8), Kara Grayson-Kennedy (6), Rupert Grayson-Kennedy (4.5), Timothy Grayson-Kennedy (2) Occupation: Air Force Veteran/Lawyer Personality: The family peacekeeper. Probably the most pragmatic of his siblings (though he’s still quite the fighter), Grant has been helping his mom out with his brothers from almost the very beginning, becoming more helpful as more kids were born. He’s a family man, and adores his family to bits, doing almost anything to keep them safe. Was actually considered as a possible recruit by The Administrator, but she decided to not hire him in the end, as he seemed too wise to be manipulated.

Name: Timothy Grayson-Kennedy Age: 32 (9 years older than RED Scout) Gender: Cisgender Man Sexuality: Homosexual Hair Color: Dark Brown Eye Color: Dark Brown Their Mother: Rebecca “Becky” Kennedy Their Father: Grant Grayson Sr. Their S/O: Duke Hammond (32) Their Children: Sarah Kennedy-Hammond (3), Jeremy Kennedy-Hammond (1) Occupation: Cartoonist Personality: The family heart. The most gentle of his brothers, Timmy is especially close with Jeremy and Grant. Kinda nervous about being a father, but with his childhood best friend turned lover at his side, he isn’t quite as scared anymore. Stays in contact with his siblings well enough, but tends to lose track of events/announcements due to living all the way in California. Doesn’t approve of mercenary work in general.

Name: Jacob Grayson-Kennedy Age: 31 (8 years older than RED Scout) Gender: Cisgender Man Sexuality: Heterosexual Hair Color: Light Blond Eye Color: Light Blue Their Mother: Rebecca “Becky” Kennedy Their Father: Grant Grayson Sr. Their S/O: None Their Children: Ana Grayson-Kennedy (3), Mia Grayson-Kennedy (3) Occupation: Freelance Guitarist Personality: The family sword. Was always pretty rough ‘n tumble even when compared to his brothers, so he got into a lot of trouble alongside Malcolm when he was a teen. Finally cleaned up his act when a one-night-stand resulted in him having twin daughters, who he loves dearly and has sole custody of. Has a better relationship with Arthur now that they’re adults, and actually lives with him in downtown Boston.

Name: Arthur Grayson-Kennedy Age: 31 (8 years older than RED Scout) Gender: Cisgender Man Sexuality: Pansexual Hair Color: Dark Blond Eye Color: Dark Blue Their Mother: Rebecca “Becky” Kennedy Their Father: Grant Grayson Sr. Their S/O: Markus Browning (29) Their Children: None Occupation: Carpenter Personality: The family shield. Not quite as mellow as Timmy is, but he’s pretty damn close in terms of general kindness towards his family and friends. Has struggled in the past to find his calling, but he loves his job in carpentry, and loves that he gets to live with his twin and nieces! Has an on and off boyfriend who he keeps a secret from the family, as he’s nervous to come out as pan, even though Timmy’s been out as gay for a few years now.

Name: Patrick Walsh-Kennedy Age: 30 (7 years older than RED Scout) Gender: Cisgender Man Sexuality: Heterosexual Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Brown Their Mother: Rebecca “Becky” Kennedy Their Father: Terrence Walsh Their S/O: Felicity Homer (28) Their Children: None Occupation: Hairdresser Personality: The family shadow. He’s never liked being in the spotlight, even when he was young and into street brawls. Was beaten by his bio dad a lot as a kid, so he’s fairly skittish as a result; jumps at loud noises and has claustrophobia. Still checks in on the family every once in awhile, but he prefers to stay with his GF in relative solitude. Loves his job so much, even if it does involve being social sometimes.

Name: Malcolm Walsh-Kennedy Age: 27 (4 years older than RED Scout) Gender: Cisgender Man Sexuality: Heteromantic Asexual Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Brown Their Mother: Rebecca “Becky” Kennedy Their Father: Terrence Walsh Their S/O: Dolores Jamison Their Children: Luke Kennedy-Jamison (5) Occupation: Wrestler Personality: The family instigator. Was by far the most reckless and violent of his brothers (yes, even more so than Jacob), which led to him getting arrested a number of times in his teens. Is trying to turn his life around, but it’s hard for him. After he found out that Jeremy is a mercenary, he flipped his lid, and he’s still pissed at him about it. Loves his son, his wife, his mama, his brothers, and that’s about it tbh.

Name: Curtis Walsh-Kennedy Age: 26 (3 years older than RED Scout) Gender: Cisgender Man Sexuality: Bisexual Hair Color: Dark Blond Eye Color: Blue Their Mother: Rebecca “Becky” Kennedy Their Father: Terrence Walsh Their S/O: None Their Children: None Occupation: BLU Scout Personality: The family drifter. Spent a lot of his childhood teasing Jeremy and trying to be his mom’s favorite, neither of which worked in his favor. His mom still loves him of course, but he’s not the favorite (no one is). He drifted for a long while after high school, struggling to land a job, before he was hired to join BLU team as their Scout. Now he continues teasing Jeremy as an adult, which leads to a lot of matches turning into Scout vs Scout fights.

Name: Jeremy Kennedy Age: 23 Gender: Transgender Man Sexuality: Pansexual Hair Color: Brown Eye Color: Baby Blue Their Mother: Rebecca “Becky” Kennedy Their Father: Jeffery REDACTED Their S/O: None Their Children: None Occupation: RED Scout Personality: The family runt. He tried so hard to keep up with his brothers as a kid, but was always told to not play as rough due to him being FTM. After coming out to the family as a man, and living on his own for awhile, he’s become even closer to his brothers than he was before, save for maybe Curtis, who he fights with every time they see each other. He knows Curtis is the BLU Scout and constantly teases him for losing so often to RED, which leads to even more fights between them. (I should note that I don’t characterize Jeremy as transgender in the Kids AU, mostly because I think he’d be too young to come out, and seeing as I don’t want to write him as a “girl” for the entirety of the AU... he can be trans in that AU if you want him to be, but I feel uncomfortable writing such a young child as being trans, so do with that what you will.)

Information on the dads!

Grant Grayson Sr.: Grant, Timothy, Jacob, and Arthur’s dad. He was a well respected man when he was alive, and actually had a decent relationship with Becky for the most part, but it became more strained when he left for war after the twins were born. About a year into his military service, Grant was killed in action, leaving Becky a widow. She loved him, but after his death, she accepted the fact that it wouldn’t have lasted forever with him, though she still misses him sometimes.

Terrence Walsh: Patrick, Malcolm, and Curtis’s dad. He tried hooking up with Becky the minute Grant was shipped overseas, but she always turned him down, as she was married and not a cheater. After Grant’s death though, he swooped in and convinced Becky to start going out with him, leading to Patrick’s birth and a second marriage for Becky. Unfortunately, Terrance was a real POS, and he routinely beat the kids as well as Becky. He was assassinated a few weeks after Curtis was born by Spy, freeing Becky of his abuse.

Jeffery REDACTED: The RED Spy/Jeremy’s dad. He met Becky while she was still stuck in an abusive marriage with Terrence, and soon after they met, Becky begged for his help in getting rid of her husband so she and kids could finally be safe. Feeling bad for the mother, Spy did just that, killing Terrence and making it look like an accident. Afterwards he planned on going on his merry way, but Becky convinced him to stay in her home while he waited for more work to roll in. During this time, they fell in love, and he soon married her (though it was an under the table sort of deal, where he also took on her last name), and after a year or so of marriage, Becky became pregnant with Jeremy. Unfortunately for Spy, people were after him, so he had to leave the family behind, but he’s still technically married to Becky, and she refuses to date anyone in his absence.

And that’s what I’ve got! Btw, I chose the last name “Kennedy” for the family based on the quote “You’ve got the luck of a Kennedy!” since I headcanon that Scout’s Mom has been through a lot, and in turn so have all of her children in one way or another. The family’s unlucky, but at least they’ll always have each other! Feel free to ask me questions about the family if you have any.
