“Warwick launched his final bid at kingmaking, this time in alliance with Margaret of Anjou to restore Henry VI. He and Clarence landed in Devon while the King was in Yorkshire. Elizabeth (Woodville)’s initial reaction was to prepare for a siege in the Tower of London where she had already retired in expectation of the imminent birth of another child. But on 1 October news reached the capital that the King was preparing to set sail from Bishop’s Lynn, abandoning his kingdom. With no hope of imminent rescue, Elizabeth moved swiftly into the Sanctuary of Westminster Abbey with her mother and her daughters. She sent Abbot Thomas Millyng to advise the Mayor and Aldermen that she was surrendering the Tower, and consequently Henry VI, into their custody.

- J.L Laynesmith,  “Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight’s Widow” in “Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts” / “The Last Medieval Queens, English Queenship 1445-1503″

"Elizabeth (Woodville) at first fortified the Tower of London against the approaching Lancastrians, but then decided instead to hand over custody of the Tower to the mayor and aldermen of London while she went into sanctuary at Westminster Abbey. It was a move which not only protected her daughters, who were with her, but also saved London from attack, which perhaps explains some of the praise she later received. The author of 'The Historic of the Arrival of Edward IV, who claimed to have witnessed much of what he recorded, stressed

the right great trowble, sorow, and hevines, whiche [the queen] sustayned with all manar pacience that belonged to eny creature, and as constantly as hathe bene sene at any tyme any of so highe estate to endure; in the whiche season natheles she had browght into this worldc, to the Kyngs grcatystc joy, a fayrc son.

...When Edward (IV) arrived, there was a scene of family bliss, in which the queen's vulnerability and domesticity could be contrasted with his heroism.  The king was thus presented in an unusually human guise, which might appeal to readers familiar with such partings themselves throughout the civil wars:

The king comfortid the quene, and other ladyes ckc;  His swete babis ful tendurly he did kys;  The yonge prynce he behelde, and in his armys did bere. Thus his bale turnyd hym to blis.

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #history #edward iv #mine #the wars of the roses #i have a major issue with the way this is viewed by the vast majority of people tbh #for one: so many people conveniently forget that she was the one who controlled and was apparently fortifying the ToL #(which included the captive Henry VI btw) #while she was literally 8 months pregnant #she only gave it up after she learned that edward iv was also fleeing. it's SO important and interesting #and yet most people either don't know about it or conveniently flash forward to when she entered sanctuary #and my second issue: SO MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING HISTORIANS tend to treat her flight to sanctuary as some kind of indication of her personalit #when the truth of the matter is that SHE HAD NO OTHER CHOICE #as david baldwin rightly pointed out -as an englishwoman of the gentry she did not have foreign resources shelter or support at her disposa #the way every queen before her (in theory for lots of them as it wasn't required) possessed #nor was elizabeth a valuable heiress (like anne Neville or her own daughter eoy) #not to mention the very obvious fact that she was heavily pregnant (and gave birth just a month later) with three very young daughters #like. literally what else was she supposed to do? where else was she supposes to go? #her vulnerability was unprecedentedly horrific and people & historians don't emphasize the comparative degree of it as much as they should #at that point elizabeth literally didn't have any other options other than sanctuary. it wasn't much of a choice #it's strange because elizabeth's status has been discussed a lot in theory but rarely discussed in terms of how it affected her in PRACTISE #and this is a key example of that #among many others

[javierpena-inatacvest]

Because i can't get enough with Javi and Osita, for your 500 follower celebration, could I request #19 with themmmm?

and btw congratsssss for your 500 followers! you have so much talented, i love your writing so muchhhhh you deserved more and more followers ❤❤❤❤❤

Nonnie!!!! Thank you so much, you are so sweet 😭💖 I literally cannot get enough of them either and this one put me in the feels bc UGH I would say this is spoilers but its not because y'all already know how feral I am to give these two a baby mwahahahha

Peanut Butter and Pickles

Summary: When Javi can't find you at the house, he begins to panic. Little does he know, you were just out at the store picking up your new, weird pregnancy craving.

Word Count: 1.2K (GOLD STAR FOR ME THIS IS THE SHORTEST THING I'VE EVER DONE)

Warnings: FLUFFFFFF, pregnancy, anxiety, mentions of food/eating, Javi just being a protective dad to be and literally just the cutest UGH

A/N: I need dad Javi deep in my bones. I NEED IT.

This can be read alone or as part of the It's Never Too Late Series!

Prompt from the 500 Followers Celebration Request!

From the moment he found out you were pregnant, Javier Peña had become an absolute nervous wreck. Not because he didn’t want to be a dad, not because he wasn’t over the moon excited to finally have the family he had always wanted, not even because he was worried about all of the ups and downs that parenthood could throw at him. Javier Peña was a nervous wreck, because there was nothing he wanted more than to give you and that baby everything in life that you’d ever deserved, and then some. Ever since he saw those two pink lines across the 6 pregnancy tests you had shown him almost 8 months ago (because you honestly couldn’t believe it either), Javi was willing to drop anything and everything to make sure you had everything you needed to keep you and that baby happy and healthy.

You generally prided yourself on being incredibly independent, not needing to ask for help on many things because you could figure it out on your own. That all came to a crashing halt the moment Javi found out you were expecting. As much as you insisted that you were more than capable of doing normal things around the house, this man couldn’t even let you get up to get a glass of water without offering to do it for you. You tried to fight it for a while, but now that you were 8 months pregnant in the middle of the sweltering July heat, you had found yourself more than happy to take up Javi on anything he was willing to help with. 

On this particular day, you had found yourself absolutely miserable- your back was killing you, you were absolutely exhausted, and you could not stop eating because you knew you were craving something, but you just couldn’t figure out what it was. You wandered over to the kitchen, for what must have been the 14th time today, opening and closing the fridge and pantry until it finally hit you. You needed pickles and peanut butter. Like, now. Looking over at the clock, you knew Javi would be close to being home soon, and would be more than happy to pick you up anything that you needed. He honestly probably would have been less shocked by this request than your one for tuna and ice cream a few weeks ago. But you couldn’t wait for Javi to get home, and with how close the grocery store was, you figured you’d probably be there and back before he even got to the house and there wasn’t any use in telling him that you’d be gone. Pulling your tank top down over your bulging belly, you slipped on your shoes and grabbed your keys, heading out to your car to head out to the grocery store. 

There hadn’t been a day that had gone by since Javi found out that you were pregnant that he hadn’t come home from work with the goofiest grin on his face. It didn’t matter how shitty his day had been, the fact that he knew he got to come home to you and the beautiful baby growing in your belly was the only thing in the world he needed to make him happy. That smile, however, quickly began to fade as he pulled into the driveway and realized that your car was gone. Trying his best to be rational, Javi jumped out of the car, not even bothering to grab his things as he ran into through the front door of the house. That rational quickly turned to panic as he went to grab the doorknob and realized that it had been left unlocked. “Hey Hermosa, it’s me!” Javi called out into the family room, greeted by the unsettling silence of no response. Making his way down the halls, opening up every door as he passed, his heart began to race, as you were nowhere to be found. Taking one last deep breath before going into full blown terror, Javi took out his cell phone to call you, hoping that your sweet voice would answer and calm his nerves. His call had the complete opposite effect, hearing the ringtone of your phone from the kitchen repeat over and over again. “Fuck…” He muttered to himself, now racing back to the front of the house, his brain flooded with the terrible what-if’s of why he couldn’t find you. His hand shook as he reached out to grab the doorknob to go back out to his car, but froze the moment he heard the sound of the garage door closing. It had been years since he had to carry a gun, but there was something so instinctive about the way he reached for the back of his waistband, praying with every bone in his body that whatever the reason was for the garage opening wasn’t the same reason he couldn’t find you. He waited a few more moments, slowly making his way towards the noise. 

“Oh hey! You’re home!” You grinned as you waddled down the hallway, pickle already dipped into the jar of peanut butter you had opened on the drive back from the store, about to shove another bite into your mouth before noticing the expression on Javi’s face. “Baby, what’s wrong?” Your heart sank to his chest as you rushed over to Javi, standing at the front door with a panic stricken look spread across his face. 

“Never scare me like that again.” He whispered, his voice trembling as he wrapped his arms around you, squeezing you tightly before pressing a soft kiss into the hair twisted into a messy bun on your head. “The car was gone and the door was unlocked- I- I tried to call your phone but you left it here. I thought something happened to you, Osita. Fuck, you scared me.” You could feel his heart rate finally starting to slow as you snaked your arms around his waist, peanut butter and pickle still in your hand. 

“Javi, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” You looked up at him as he cupped your cheek, rubbing his thumb along your jaw. “Your child is an incredibly hungry monster, just like her daddy, and I was convinced that if I didn’t go get this from the store this second I was literally going to explode. Although I was hoping that peanut butter and pickles was a less scary combination than the tuna and chocolate ice cream she wanted the other week.” You giggled as Javi dropped to his knees, rubbing his palms against your belly, peppering the bump with gentle kisses. 

“You still think it’s a girl?” He asked, beaming up at you, his mind now at ease as he had the both of you in front of him. 

“If there’s anything I know, it’s that whatever it ends up being, it’s got your appetite.” The both of you laughed as Javi stood back up, planting a tender kiss on your lips before pulling away. 

“Whatever it ends up being, I just know you’re gonna be the best momma in the whole world, and I love the both of you more than anything.” You felt your eyes begin to water, wondering how in the world you had ended up so damn lucky. 

“We love you too, Jav. Now let me eat my peanut butter and pickles before they get all full of tears and I have to go back out and buy a new jar.”

Can you do a part 2 of “woah baby” but the birth or something like that? Love your writing btw!!!!🫶🫶

Woah Baby: Part 2

Title: Woah Baby: Part 2

Pairing: Jake “Hangman” Seresin x Mitchell Reader

Summary: You and Jake are counting down the days until you welcome your baby into the world. It may be sooner than you thought.

Warnings: labor, language

Authors Note: so many of you have asked for this so I hope you like it!! Gif does not belong to me, the rights are to the rightful owner!

It’s been officially 8 months since you found out you were pregnant with Jake Seresin’s baby. After escaping the wrath of your brother and honorary father you all sat down together and had an adult conversation about what was going to happen.

You and Jake decided it was best if you moved in together so he could be there with you every step of the way during the pregnancy. So far Jake has been the best boyfriend you could ask for he has been to every doctors appointment, he has taken care of you through the morning sickness, the horrible back aches, the swollen ankles, the unpredictable mood swings. Through it all Jake has been by your side.

Maverick and Rooster jumped into the grandpa and uncle roles quickly, your baby already had their own nursery filled with toys at both of their houses for the nights when you and Jake would need to catch up on some sleep allowing them to take the baby for the night.

The rest of your friends were great too. It turns out Phoenix and Bob had a bet going all along that you and Jake were together, Phoenix ended up becoming $100 richer.

The boys had come over and set the nursery up while Penny, Phoenix, and Amelia helped you sort all the baby clothes and the gifts you got from your baby shower. At the end of the day your nursery was painted gray with pastel blues and greens since you both decided to wait and be surprised by the gender, you and Jake treated everyone to some pizza and wings as a thanks for their help.

That next week Jake had to go to base to run some drills with The Dagger Team as a demonstration to the new Top Gun students, all of them had decided to stick around Top Gun and teach while occasionally going on some missions. The Uranium Plant mission gave everyone their fill of danger and adrenaline, now they were all ready to settle down and leave that stuff to the newer generations.

“Jake I told you I’ll be fine. I haven’t had any Braxton Hicks in 3 days, Penny and Amelia are coming over anyway for lunch.” You told Jake who was against the idea of leaving you at home all alone since you were getting close to the due date.

“But what if you need me and I’m not here? What if something happens with the baby?” Jake asked wrapping his arms around your waist as you stood leaning against the kitchen counter

“Well there’s this really cool thing called a cellphone, so I can call you directly if I need you.” You teased making Jake roll his eyes and you giggle wrapping your arms around his neck. “I appreciate how worried you are Jake, it just proves how great of a father your going to be. But I promise we’ll be ok.”

Jake sighed but nodded knowing you were right, he has been so worried about every little thing since finding out you were pregnant. It turned out that Jake’s parents had lost a baby when Jake was about 12 and ever since seeing how much losing a child destroyed his parents he’s terrified of anything like that happening to him and you.

“If anything and I mean anything happens. If you even need me to come home and make you a sandwich then you call me.” Jake said kissing your forehead making you smile

“I will. I promise. Now go before your late.” You said giving Jake a peck on the lips before handing him the lunch she made him

“I love you.” Jake said holding his lunch in one hand while letting his other rest on your swollen stomach. “And I love you.”

You giggled as the baby immediately kicked the spot Jake’s hand was making him smile as he rubbed in little circles.

“We love you too. Call me during your lunch break if you get time.” You said and Jake nodded giving you one last kiss before leaving.

It’s been a few hours Penny and Amelia got to the house not long after Jake left and you guys have been binge watching all the Jurassic Park movies.

“I still don’t get the appeal of resurrecting billion year old killer dinosaur’s.” You said rubbing your belly as you snacked on some roman noodles

“They never learn.” Amelia shook her head tossing a piece of popcorn into the air and catching it in her mouth

Penny sat in the arm chair and chuckled at the two of you, you were on the 3rd movie and always without fail found something to critique about each one.

You jumped a little in your seat as you felt another kick to your lower stomach, for the past few minutes you have been having uncomfortable cramping sensations in your lower stomach and the baby has been kicking you like crazy.

“You ok?” Amelia asked noticing the uncomfortable look on your face making Penny immediately look over towards you

“Yeah, just cramping.” You said wincing as another kick was felt

“How often?” Penny asked sitting up while you looked at her with furrowed brows

“In the last 30 minutes maybe 5 minutes apart.” You said breathing deeply

“Are you kidding me? Y/N! Your in labor! We have to get you to the hospital!” Penny exclaimed quickly rushing over to you

“No I’m not, there’s no way. It’s too early.” You shook your head not wanting to believe that you could actually be having your baby today

“Sweetheart it’s not too early, I had Amelia when I was 33 weeks and your already at 35. Amelia call Pete and tell him to get Jake to the hospital, Y/N let’s get you dressed and get your stuff together.” Penny said helping you stand as Amelia nodded and grabbed her phone.

“Pen I’m scared. I’ve been so busy thinking about the pregnancy it’s self it’s like I forgot that I actually have to go through agonizing labor to bring the baby into the world.” You said feeling anxiety bubble in your chest

“I was scared too, but you have Jake in your corner. He would never let anything happen to you and he will be there with you every step of the way. You will never have to worry about being alone there are so many people who love you and are so excited to watch you and Jake become parents. Everything is going to be ok.” Penny soothed and you nodded taking a deep breath. “Now let’s get you to the hospital.”

You had never been in more pain in your entire life then you were in this moment, your water broke shortly after you got to the hospital. You were about to get an epidural when they realized that you were actually allergic to the medication they use so now you unfortunately have to do the labor completely drug free.

“I hate this. It hurts its hurts so bad.” You gasped in between cries as you went through another round of contractions.

Penny hadn’t left your side since you got to the hospital, she had Amelia waiting outside so she could show Jake where to go when they got here.

“I’m so sorry sweetheart. Do you want to try to walk around some?” Penny asked dabbing your forehead with a cold wet wash cloth

You nodded shakily and Penny helped you shift into a sitting position on the edge of the bed before helping you stand, she wrapped one arm around your waist and held your hand.

“Deep breaths.” Penny instructed you as she lead you around the hospital room

You tried your best to follow Penny’s instructions but let out a cry as another contraction hit this one much larger than the others causing your knees to buckle. Penny quickly wrapped her other arm around your waist and held you up before slowly lowering you down into the chair in the corner of the room.

“Your ok. Breath through it honey.” Penny said holding both your hands and helping you breath through the contraction

“I’m here! I’m here!” Jake exclaimed as he ran into the room with Pete and Bradley behind him

“Jake.” You cried in relief as he ran over to you allowing you to lean against his chest. “It’s horrible. It’s so horrible. I can’t have any medicine. It hurts so bad.”

“What do you mean you can’t have any medicine?” Jake asked surprised, he was under the impression that you were going to be able to have an epidural and hopefully be able to relax a little

“She’s allergic to the medication. They can’t give her any pain medicine she has to do it naturally.” Penny said with a sympathetic tone

“Oh honey. I’m so sorry.” Jake sighed, he couldn’t imagine how much pain you were in right now. Normally you have a very high pain tolerance so to see you in tears at the pain you are in right now has him feeling horrible

“We’ll give you two some privacy. Your doing great sweetheart.” Pete said kissing your forehead before leaving the room with Penny

“Your doing so well sis. I’ll be right outside if you need me.” Bradley told you and you nodded before he left the room

“Let’s get you back into bed.” Jake said and you nodded allowing him to scoop you into his arms and carry you back over to the bed. “I’m sorry your in so much pain.”

“Just hold me please.” You mumbled scooting over and Jake complied kicking his boots off and sliding into bed next to you.

He helped you lay on your side and spooned you from behind resting his warm palm on your lower stomach hoping to relieve some of the pain.

“Oh that feels good baby.” You sighed at the warmth as he gently rubbed circles on your stomach

There was a knock on your door and your doctor peaked her head in with 2 nurses behind her, you had requested very limited people in the room not wanting too many people making it too hectic.

“Hey there momma. I’ve come to see how far along we are, do you mind if I check your dilation?” Dr. Gardner asked

“Go ahead. Just get this kid out of me.” You sighed as Jake and one of the nurses helped you onto your back while the other nurse helped get your legs into the stirrups

“Are you sure there isn’t any medicine you can give her? What about morphine?” Jake asked rubbing your forehead

“Unfortunately we can’t use morphine during labor because it can risk Y/N’s blood pressure dropping too low. If she is still under 9 centimeters then we can try a warm bath to help sooth the pain.” Dr. Gardner said as she finished washing her hands and putting on gloves, she sat down in between your legs and began examining your cervix. “Well I’ll be damned. Y/N your at 10 centimeters, it’s time to push.”

“What? It is?” You asked as the two nurses started getting everything ready for the delivery and Dr. Gardner put her gown on before replacing her gloves with a brand new pair.

“It’s time, I want you to take some deep breaths then when you feel your next contraction coming don’t fight it. Let your body tell you what to do, if you need to push then push.” Dr. Gardner said as the two nurses stood next to your legs

“Jake. I’m scared.” You whined feeling tears build up in your eyes causing Jake’s heart to clinch

“I know you are. But I’m right here and I promise I won’t let anything happen to you, everything is going to be ok. This will all be over before you know it and then our baby will be here. I love you so so much and I’m so proud of you.” Jake said kissing you and rubbing your cheek soothingly

You nodded and took a few deep breaths before whining as you felt another pain coming along.

“Ow ow ow!” You exclaimed scrunching your face up in pain making Jake wince but grab your hand so you can squeeze as hard as you need to.

“Ok Y/N push.” Dr. Gardner instructed

You yelled as you pushed as hard as you could, it felt like you were being ripped apart from the inside out. Everything hurt and the burning sensation between your legs was almost excruciating. You pushed until you literally lost your breath causing you to flop back against the bed panting.

“Good. Good job. Take you a breather then push on your next contraction.” Dr. Gardner said

“Jake.” You whined gripping onto his arm and hiding your face in his chest

“Can I get in bed behind you?” Jake asked and you desperately nodded

Jake gently helped you sit up and slid into bed behind you, you sighed in relief as you slouched back against his chest.

“Lean back against me honey. Try to get as comfortable as you can.” Jake said kissing your cheek as you leaned your head back against his shoulder

Before you knew it you were pushing again, Jake held both your hands and pressed his chest to your back helping you sit up as you pushed.

“I see the head! Give me a big push Y/N!” Dr. Gardener said and you pushed as hard as you could until you felt the pressure in your stomach disappear

Your ears were ringing as you leaned back against Jake but the unmistakable sound of a shrill scream knocked you out of your daze. Dr. Gardner smiled from behind her mask as she held your screaming baby up between your legs.

“It’s a boy!” Dr. Gardner exclaimed and you cried tears of joy

You could feel Jake’s chest shake from behind you and peaked over your shoulder to see tears falling down his face. He caught your gaze and cradled your face before pressing his lips against yours.

“I love you so much. Thank you for giving me a son.” Jake praised making tears fall down your face as you smiled

“I love you.” You smiled before turning back towards Dr. Gardner who smiled holding your son

“Do you want to do skin to skin?” Dr. Gardner asked and you frantically nodded

“Yes.” You said as Jake helped unclip the top of your gown allowing your naked chest to show. “Are you doing it too?”

“Yeah.” Jake nodded slipping his shirt off, you had both read somewhere that both parents and the baby having skin to skin was a great bonding experience

You leaned back against Jake’s chest as the baby was placed onto yours causing the crying to stop as your baby felt your warm skin soothing the coldness he felt from being out of the womb. Jake placed his hands over yours as they gently rested on your baby’s back.

“Hi baby boy. I’m your mommy.” You sniffled as the baby cooed and you pressed a kiss to his forehead

“We’re so excited to meet you little guy.” Jake spoke causing the baby to let out a satisfied whine making him smile

“We’ll get you both cleaned up then give you some privacy before visitors.” Dr. Gardner said as one of the nurses gently took your baby to clean. “No tearing which is very good. You’ll definitely be sore for a few days and no sex for 6 weeks.”

“Damn it, I forgot about that part.” Jake said making you laugh

After both you and the baby were cleaned up and you got changed into some comfortable pajama shorts and a tank top that snapped at the straps making it easy to breast feed, Jake was now sitting next to you on the bed still shirtless as he watched you feed the baby for the first time.

“Does it feel weird?” Jake asked tilting his head as he watched the baby nurse making you chuckle

“A little. Feels like my nipples going to pop off, not much different then when you do it.” You said making Jake chuckle as shake his head as he kissed your forehead

“What can I say, I love your boobies.” Jake smirked making you laugh

“Boobies? How old are you?” You laughed making Jake shrug. “I think little guys full.”

“You want me to go get everyone?” Jake asked clipping the straps of your tank top back into place

“Yeah sure. How do you think Pops and Bradley are going to react to his name?” You asked with a nervous smile

“I think they are going to love it. I’ll be right back.” Jake said kissing your lips before carefully kissing the baby’s forehead

You smiled down at your baby in silence he was staring up at you with big green/blue eyes that he got from your blue eyes and Jake’s green.

“You are going to be so loved you know that? I only wish you got to meet your grandma and grandpa, they would have doted on you. But we have some really good people who will make sure you have the best life. I love you so much my baby boy.” You smiled gently bringing your finger to trace over his nose, a nose you could swear was a replica of your fathers

Jake came back through the door with a smile as Pete, Bradley, Penny, and Amelia followed behind him all with excited grins.

“The others are in the waiting room, they wanted to give all of us a minute.” Jake told you sliding back into bed beside you, his arm automatically settling around your body

“How are you feeling momma?” Penny asked moving closer

“Tired. But good.” You smiled before turning to Bradley and Pete who were looking at you with misty eyes. “Pops. Brad. I want you to meet Nicholas Pete Seresin.”

Bradley smiled and tears filled his eyes at the name as he came to your bedside. You looked up and saw Pete with tears spilling down his cheeks making you tear up.

“It’s perfect.” Pete smiled coming to your bedside

Jake gave you a kiss before standing up and accepting a hug from Penny, knowing that you needed a minute with Pete and Bradley.

“He’s perfect Y/NN. God he’s so perfect.” Bradley smiled kissing your forehead

“Thanks Brad.” You smiled before turning to your honorary father. “Pops? Do you want to hold your grandson?” You asked and Pete shakily nodded

“Of course.” Pete exhaled as he gently took baby Nick out of your arms and cradled him in his arms. “God he looks just like Goose.”

“He does doesn’t he?” You asked with a small laugh as you leaned against your brother

“He’d be so proud kid. They both would.” Pete smiled and you nodded shakily

“I wish they were here.” You said tearfully

“They’re here.” Bradley assured you with a tearful smile. “They’ll always be here.”

Soon after, everyone got to come back and see the newest addition to the Dagger team with Phoenix and Rooster being named godparents and everyone doting over baby Nick. Everyone eventually piled out letting the new family of three have some time together.

You and Jake were laying together in bed with Nick cradled against Jake’s chest fast asleep with a full stomach and fresh diaper.

“I never thought I would have this.” Jake said breaking the comfortable silence. “I never thought I would have a woman who I love more than anything in the world or a son who makes me feel an amount of love I didn’t think was possible. You have given me more than I could ever ask for and I love you so much for it.”

“I love you too Jake. Thank you for being here with me.” You smiled resting your head on his chest next to Nick

“There’s no where else in the world I’d rather be.” Jake smiled looking at his new family.

not *necessarily* thotty, but how would König and Maus feel about having kids? like in the distant future? btw gal you have no idea of the obsession I have with your writing, genuinely getting me through it all - don’t let anyone discourage you with petty comments, your work is just stunning 💗

I don't think I've actually considered this before, what a novel idea!

So short answer, the only way I can see Maus and König having kids is a surprise pregnancy. I think they both plan to be in the military until they're forced not to be. Their careers come first, and unless either of them ends up at a point where they can no longer be in active duty, it is doubtful either will seriously consider kids.

Now, shit does happen. Maybe a broken condom or Maus missing her monthly bc injection, or something similar, and Maus starts getting all the pregnancy symptoms. Headaches, nausea, bloating, all of it. At first she thinks she caught something vile on her last deployment, but then when she goes to the doc, surprise! She's pregnant.

I honestly think Maus would be terrified at first. She'd think her career was over, that König will get terrified and maybe leave her, and she hides it until it's Gaz who convinces her to tell him.

König is shocked. To his core. He never once thought he might be a dad. He went through so much bullying as a kid that it never once entered his mind he'd be responsible for one. Yet he sees how Maus's eyes go watery, how her lip trembles and she shakes, and he remembers he would move mountains for her, that he'd shake the earth down to the core of it's foundation to be by her side.

So they decide to keep it, and it isn't an easy decision by any means, and the pregnancy itself is difficult. König has to take time off to make sure Maus stays. put. because she's a terrible patient and having 8 months of leave and assigned desk duty drives her insane. He has to have a serious conversation with her, roping in Laswell because that's the only person Maus listens to without a hint of disobedience, about her risking her health. Finally Maus settles, begrudgingly, and König too can relax without worrying about her so much.

When their kid is born? They both cry like kids, feel immense gratitude to the people in their lives that helped them through this, and know that with the three of them, Maus, König, and their littlest baby boy, the future is only beginning.

To the anon complaining about wanting the "why" he lied about being a dad.....I don't think it's as simple as reducing him to having lied. Let's remember that Bill knew Alida when he was a child and while she was an adult attempting to be with Alex. I'm not saying she groomed him, but I'm also not saying she didn't. With this in mind, when she began to date Bill his brain was not fully developed. Bill was just breaking into fame with Hemlock Grove and he also just got out of another toxic relationship. He was partying a lot, enjoying his new fame, and having fun. His judgment was not great, needless to say, because of biological and environmental factors. Now, into the meat and potatoes. Alida had been attached to this family for yearssss. She risked her engagement with Alex's best friend to sleep with Bill (we can assume they hooked up before thinking about dating). Fast forward to the dating on and off, with a heavy emphasis on ON and OFF, for some time, and not so suddenly, breakup rumors start. A few months after this alleged breakup, Alida reveals she is pregnant. Let's pause and think about the likelihood and the convenience of this timing. She royally fucked her chances of being with Alex by sleeping and dating his brother, which many assume was the reason her engagement broke off with Alex's best friend. If Bill is done with her, she has no way of bagging another Skarsgard. How convenient that the whole time they dated, only when he is said to have broken up with her, suddenly her birth control stopped working. If you've spent years trying to get something, you won't give up so easily. So, she decides to get pregnant to coerce Bill into staying. It is easy to lie and say, oh my birth control must not have worked. She probably said she would keep the baby regardless, which would look bad for Bill's budding career if he abandoned her. He didn't even think to question her, because his brain was just starting to work like a fully functioning adult.

As Mortox said, everyone in Sweden thinks it's her costars, as he deleted his Instagram over a few comments that questioned as much. If and when Bill found out over the next few years, he wouldn't come out to the media and say "Oh, btw the child isn't actually mine even though I said she was". It wouldn't help his career and it would impact the child.

Moving on to baby two, this period of time is when it was speculated Bill found out he wasn't the father of Oona and decided to, again, try and break things off. It worked once, why wouldn't Alida try to save their relationship with another baby? Working backward, the baby was first said to be due in November 2022 by Alida herself, but she was actually born in December. Alida was shown as very pregnant in the Clarke series released in May 2022, which means filming had to happen months before. She was visibly pregnant in the show, which would mean either the baby would have been born much earlier or they had a prosthetic suit custom-made for the role. A custom piece that would be very conveniently be covered under company costs and one that could be used to fool the public of your pregnancy. Giving her the benefit of the doubt, If she had a late delivery and the baby was due in November, that puts conception around February. He was filming 3-4 movies, it just seems unlikely. The timeline is the most sketchy thing about this. Alida, during this time, became the main spokesperson for Bill, talking to every online magazine about how excited he was for this baby but Bill said squat. Let us not forget how weird it is that they chose to have this baby in South Africa, not Sweden. Sweden has a very transparent public information system, whereas South Africa does not. A woman flying while 8-9 months pregnant is not normal, either. Most people in Sweden believe she had a surrogate, as many celebrities do this. It is speculated that she told the media they were expecting, so again, Bill couldn't say anything without bringing undue attention to himself while filming 4 big projects. He had no choice, unfortunately. Directly after this pregnancy, Alida virtually disappeared from posting online and Bill heavily started to separate from her. The writing is written on the wall.

here’s a few random thoughts about the Mayans premiere: 

- first of all, how long since the season 4 finale has it been now at the beginning? I was under the impression it’s been 8 months to a year or something like it, but a few things don’t add up. like, why is Hank still limping? he was shot in the knee in the season 4 premiere, how long has it been? and why is Nestor still a prospect when they already have a new one? did I miss where they mentioned any sort of time frame?

- I would have loved to see the moment Emily comes back home to Miguel and how that “reunion” went. I want to see more of their house, it’s not the same one they lived in before they fled, is it?

- I also want to know how the rest of Miguel and Felipe’s conversation in the (former) butcher shop went, what exactly did Felipe tell, how much of the truth is actually out there now?

- the guy Miguel and Soledad had lunch(?) with talked about how Miguel’s father was a puppet for the government and for a second there I forgot the guy meant José and Soledad looked at Miguel like she knew. also, the way the guy ate visibly disgusted Miguel. and honestly, I wouldn’t have needed that close-up of it either, lol.

- when Felipe and Adelita were talking about telling Angel the truth, did they mean that Adelita is secretly working for the cartel as, idk, a hit woman? or did they mean that Felipe worked with Adelita’s father and knew him well? how would either of those secrets affect their relationship?

- the new Santo Padre guy, Guero, Ibarra’s son, is pretty damn cute, I hope he lives through the season. the cute ones usually never do... rest in peace, Manny.

- and Guero was right about that all female club, the Broken Saints. they’re hot. I’d watch that spin off.

- does Sofia not work at the animal shelter anymore, why’s she at EZ’s place every free minute of the day? she does have a nice singing voice btw. 

- what big and dangerous thing is Louie planning to help Letty and Hope get those 13k dollars? 

- I’m torn about Alvarez and Izzy having a baby on the way, but TPTB probably didn’t have much of a choice since Patricia was pregnant in real life. I like her so much btw. also Marcus, yell at Santi like that again and I’m personally coming for your ass. let him try on your kutte, it’s only sitting there collecting dust anyway. 

- what did that DOJ accountant guy discover in those numbers he calculated? my guess is it has something to do with EZ’s record disappearing from the system, since Potter deleted it in exchange for KJ’s hit. let’s also remember real quick that during that hit not only KJ got killed but Bowen as well, and Potter can still use that as leverage against EZ and Angel. maybe that is what Potter has over Adelita? and even if he’s not a rat anymore, with that it would make EZ still look really good for it now and give the club a reason to finally riot.

- with Cole now being Soledad’s main supplier, my guess for who burnt down the warehouse shifted from Angel to him, and everything carefully masterminded by Potter. wouldn’t it be insane if he’s not with the government anymore at all but has become a king pin and in one strike took over the entire pipeline, while the Mayans and the Sons take each other out of the game on their own?

- generally I liked that there were a lot of funny moments again. we didn’t have jokes and humor in 2 seasons, this season feels like 1 and 2 again, the plot is still heavy and brutal but a lot less depressing. if that makes sense.

some of that sounds dumb, I’m aware, but I’m putting it out there anyway. let’s hear your thoughts.

Once again, I am doing a series of my behind-the-scenes thoughts for The Golds while I do light edits for formatting, typos, and continuity. Here’s Chapter 8!

(Full disclosure, I learned that TGC can sing around the time I started writing this series, and that definitely inspired singing artsy Aegon. I am still distraught about his band going “on a break.” 🥺)

For this chapter’s title, I picked the Mother lyrics from “The Song of the Seven” because it’s the childbirth chapter. The moment we’ve all been waiting for!

Joff’s hand is bandaged at the beginning of the chapter because she’s been messing around with the glass candle. Of course her loyal assistant Daeron knows about it, and he doesn’t entirely approve of her methods.

BTW I often cringe when people in fantasy stories casually cut their palms for spells and such, because your hands have a lot of muscles and nerves, so it hurts a bunch and takes a while to heal. I thought about having Joff take blood from a different body part that isn’t used all the time. Then I remembered the point of blood magic in this universe is pain and sacrifice, and I could see the magic refusing to accept blood from someone intentionally trying to avoid pain, and it only works if it hurts. So here I am, using the trope that I used to always complain about 😅.

Despite everything, Jace would not approve of Elinor’s hand being cut off, so people have been avoiding telling her.

Jace thinks Gyles is suffering at Dragonstone, but this is actually an improvement! He used to make a heckton of pies at the Red Keep, but now he only has to cook for one person. So he’s getting paid the same to do 1% of his usual workload, and he gets to be creative since he has to change the menu every meal while ensuring Jace eats a balanced diet.

Luce dresses extra neatly and arrives early so people don’t suspect she was canoodling with Aemond the night before, but this is so out of character for her that Jace notices.

During breakfast, Luce tries to play it cool and ignore Aemond while he stares at her. They had this exact same dynamic in Chaoter 9 of the Handbook, during the post-wedding breakfast. They really need to coordinate a better system when they have something to hide 🤪. (100% inspired by Aemond’s intense staring during the show when he looks at pretty much anybody.)

If Aegon and Aemond get to have sibling telepathy, so do Jace and Luce.

Luce’s rose garden reference is a callback to Chapter 1, when it’s mentioned that Aegon got handsy with Jace pre-wedding while Daemon was stalking around the hedges. Technically, Jace and Aegon were already married for years because of the elopement, and that’s how Jace justifies letting Aegon take liberties. He was already her husband so why not? 😉

Absolutely nobody expected Jace to serve as chaperone, but she blames herself anyway (as usual). If everyone wasn’t so worried about Jace’s health and if the trip preparations weren’t so hasty, I’m sure Alicent or Rhaenyra or Daemon would have insisted on sending an actual chaperone with the group.

The Episode 8 last supper bit where Jacaerys pathetically punches Aemond, who isn’t fazed at all, inspired the scene with our Jace smacking Aemond with a sandal (la chancla!). In this universe, however, Aemond can’t retaliate because Jace is a pregnant woman. He has too many chivalrous notions to strike a woman (and nobody would let him anyway). Luckily for Aemond, our Jace isn’t very strong either.

Baela has been corresponding with Cregan the last few months. Not so frequently that it raises eyebrows, but often enough that they’ve gotten to know each other better. She definitely sent a letter of condolence after Sara died, so she’s expecting a response. Unfortunately, Cregan is not reacting well to his sister’s death, and it feels like the latest in a series of Starks getting screwed whenever they interact with Targs. Jaehaerys and Alysanne made the Starks donate land to the Night’s Watch who neglected it, Jaehaerys showed mercy to rebels which led to Walton Stark’s death, Rhaenys arranged for a Stark daughter to marry Ronnel Arryn (who was usurped and thrown out the Moon Door; his wife and children probably weren’t spared either), and there are probably still some complicated feelings about Torrhen kneeling to Aegon I. Now the Northmen probably feel the Targs caused Sara’s death too, so Cregan, who is also grieving, backs away from Baela and arranges to marry a Northern girl.

Rhaenyra deliberately omits news of the Baratheon betrothal in her letter to Jace. Like everyone else, she’s trying to reduce Jace’s stressors.

Aemond’s letter has the king’s personal seal. He’s confused why Viserys would bother writing to him.

Aegon’s letter is most likely from Alicent, and it mentions something about the Baratheons. I don’t think Alicent explicitly reveals the betrothal, but there’s enough detail that Aegon figures out something is fishy. He has a good poker face when he chooses to use it, so Jace can’t tell what his reaction is.

Aemond leaves because he wants to yell at Viserys, and Luce follows to stop him from getting in trouble. They’re gone all day because they stop somewhere along the Blackwater to argue about what to do, and eventually Luce convinces him to come back to Dragonstone. When they return in the middle of the night, Aegon sneaks out to get the details from them, and that’s when they all agree on a cover story to tell Jace.

Aegon is constantly checking Jace’s pulse because he’s worried about her anxiety 😮‍💨.

Luce is trying very hard not to cry during her convo with Jace. Normally Jace is the first person she confides in about this sort of thing, but she can’t right now 😢.

Jace has a PTSD flashback, and she instinctively/inadvertently uses grounding techniques (mostly centered on Aegon) to get out of it. Westeros doesn’t have much psychological understanding or vocabulary, so I imagine a lot of conditions/symptoms get swept under the category of “madness.” Jace doesn’t entirely know why her brain and body are acting the way they do, so she worries she’s losing her mind.

I’m not a doctor so don’t quote me, but based on my amateur internet research, stress and trauma during pregnancy can cause preterm labor, and Jace has experienced a lot of stress and trauma. I was determined for Cheeseball to be born healthy, so I made him born around 37 weeks/3 weeks early. Not too early, but he’s cutting it close in a world without NICU equipment. I also read that babies born early are likelier to be breech, presumably because they’re on the small side.

Pregnant women sometimes begin “nesting” when the baby is imminent, so Jace spends the morning organizing the baby knits. And the baby might be less active than usual right before labor, which Aegon notices.

Joff is using her little hourglass to time Jace’s contractions 💀.

Jace is telling herself to be brave because “a woman’s battlefield is in the childbed,” or however the saying goes.

Why does Joff know so much about different types of fire? Because she and Daeron were trying all the different ways to light the glass candle on fire 🔥.

Rhaenyra still has unresolved trauma from Aemma’s death, so she decides to keep Aegon from the birthing chamber out of fear that he would make the same choice as Viserys if something goes wrong. When the maester and midwives are debating what to do, Rhaenyra thinks, “of course we’re saving a Jace, she’s my daughter, we aren’t killing her in the hopes of a male heir.” She overcorrects in the opposite direction as Viserys, not realizing she’s acting kinda similarly by taking the choice from Jace. By Westerosi standards, Rhaenyra is also overstepping because the expectation is it’s the father’s right to decide, certainly not the baby’s maternal grandmother’s right. Alicent thinks Aegon deserves to be in the room and have a say in what happens, so she fetches him regardless of Rhaenyra’s feelings.

I did a little reading about the history of childbirth (skip this bullet if you might be squicked by details, though I’m not going to be graphic). A child in breech has always been a big concern but isn’t necessarily fatal; it has higher odds of being injured in the birth canal, or being strangled by the umbilical cord. If the baby really does get stuck, there are ways to extract it to save the mother, but the baby almost certainly dies (and it’s quite awful how they take it out). And historically, the mother was actually chosen over the baby quite often until some church reforms happened and pushed for the baby’s survival via C-section, which had very high odds of killing the mother. So I have a lot of conspiracy thoughts about whether Aemma really was beyond saving in Episode 1, or whether the maester just told Viserys that so they could try to get the baby 🧐.

I feel like Jace could have convinced Aegon to pick the baby…and then Aegon would spend the rest of his life depressed and drinking himself into an early grave 😔. If he were somehow forced to remarry and have more kids, he would be Viserys 2.0 and favor Cheeseball over any children by his second wife. Thankfully, that didn’t happen in this universe!

I know people have a lot of questions about what Joff did with the candle, but I have to save a lot of that info for future fics! Just bear in mind that like it says in the fandom wiki, glass candles are supposedly able to give its wielder visions and dreams. I also gave the candle some qualities as an arcane focus, like in D&D. Oh, and I read on a fan forum speculating that the glass candles might be like palantirs from LOTR, so there’s that. And here, Joff uses Aegon’s blood for the ritual because he’s the baby’s father, so there’s a strong connection she utilizes to coax the baby out.

Joff puts out the candle right before the others come into the room, so nobody except Jace and Aegon (and probably Daeron) know that anything magical was involved.

During the Middle Ages, birthing rooms were kept warm and sealed because they were afraid a draft/the cold would be bad for the mother and baby. But Jace is both a Targaryen and a Velaryon, and she wants to hear her dragon and the sea, dammit.

“The sun wishes to meet the sun.” Sorry, I couldn’t resist making a pun with sun/son.

Royal and noble women overwhelmingly prefer using wet nurses (partly as a status symbol, partly so they can get back to conceiving more heirs quicker, partly so they can focus on other duties). But the ASOIAF-verse does have examples of royal and noble women breastfeeding (see some of the citations on that page if you want to dig in), including the original Queen Rhaenys. So Jace breastfeeding her child is very unusual but not unheard of. And I wanted to give Jace the psychological benefits of breastfeeding, since she’s been in a shaky mental and emotional state.

Babies and children die super easily in the pre-modern world. Just look at how many of Jaehaerys and Alysanne’s kids died super young! It’s why Aegon’s second nameday was such a big deal in the show; he survived infancy, which was the most perilous time. That’s why Jace knows that despite producing a son, she and Aegon will be expected to have more kids. It’s too risky not to.

Since we’re already bringing in LOTR with the palantir vibes, I decided to add some One Ring vibes too. Aegon senses some bad juju from the candle but he’s not magically inclined at all, so he shrugs it off. Jace isn’t super into magic either, but she’s mentally and emotionally vulnerable so the candle taps into her weaknesses more easily. I’ll probably flesh out the system more in the future Joff fic.

The culture of chivalry and courtly love seems to be strongest in the Reach. Daeron picked up on the art of giving flowery compliments while he was there. Unfortunately Joff doesn’t care about that sort of thing.

Daeron knows the candle isn’t entirely “good,” but he’s too used to following Joff’s example and doing whatever she wants. This is probably going to be part of his character arc.

Aegon, in his best Ron Swanson voice, to Dragonstone’s gardeners: “You may have thought you heard me say I wanted a lot of roses. But what I said was: give me all the roses you have.”

The lyrics in Cheeseball’s song convey the sentiments that Aegon wishes he’d heard from his father growing up, and now Aegon is ensuring that Cheeseball hears his own father say/sing those things every day 🥹. And Aegon makes sure to put both Targaryen and Velaryon references in the song to commemorate Jace’s family.

(idk if this is too much to ask but could u also write the christmas morning? just cute stuff and a lot of romance with marilyn and the reader) thank you sm ik this is a lot just take ur time with it, thank youu <3

Yess!!! Here it is!!! I hope you like it!!! Sorry about the language mistakes!!!

A special Christmas

Pairing: Marilyn Thornhill x Fem! Reader

Warnings: pregnant! Reader, fluff

Word count: 3,324

Summary: It’s Christmas, and you and your wife were going to your parent’s house to celebrate…

N/A: Requests are open!!! Sorry about the delays, I’m working hard on your requests. I love you all!!!

“How about Beth?” Marilyn asked as she were driving.

Christmas came early and it was already the third time you spent with her. That was not the best of all, soon a girl would join your little family, so you considered that you should spend those dates with your parents, who had not seen you for a long time.

The last 8 months had been magical. A life was growing inside you and that sensation was the most incredible you had ever felt. The big moment was slowly approaching and you began to want to hold that little baby in your arms, and stop swelling your ankles. But, after all that this time, there was something you hadn't been able to decide, her name.

“I'm not going to call my daughter Elizabeth, Mari,” you said protesting. She rolled her eyes, sighing. You didn't like any of her suggestions, and you were beginning to think that your poor daughter would have no name.

“Okay…” She said sighing. “Sarah?”

You shook your head again.

“No way. Sarah is the name of the girl I liked in high school, the stupid bitch hooked up with my best friend.”

“(Y/N)!, don't say those words, you know… Our girl,” the redhead reprimanded you,.

“I doubt she's paying attention. We've been like this for two hours,” you said, gently caressing your belly.

“We wouldn't take two hours if you liked any of the names I suggest,” Marilyn complained. You shrugged and looked out the window.

“You don't like any of the ones I suggest either...” You said, resting your head on your hand.

“Let's see… You mean Natasha?”

You nodded effusively.

“It's a nice one, isn't it?”

“I'm not going to call my daughter Natasha just because you like Scarlett Johansson, (Y/N).”

“Jou...” You sighed, feigning disappointment.

“Rose?”

“Rose is my mother's name.”

“Kate?”

“The friend I don't talk to anymore.”

“Emily?”

“The math teacher who failed me…”

You always had an answer to all the names she said to you, and she seemed to get desperate.

“Hanna?”

“Montana?” You joked.

“Oh…God…” Marilyn said, tired of your discrepancies.

“Come on, it can't be so hard,” you said, patting her leg gently.

“Lily?”

“I already told you that no plants allowed,” you complained. She sighed exaggeratedly. That conversation was so absurd that you even had to hold back your laughter.

“I'm going to say the last one, and if you don't like it I'll give up,” she told you, changing her expression. She seemed pretty sure you were going to like it and you raised your eyebrows and crossed your arms.

“I accept the challenge, Mari,” you said expectantly.

“Evelyn…” she said, softly. You didn't know if it was because of the tone she put on when she said it, or because of the name itself, but it didn't seem like a bad idea, in fact, you felt a little movement on your belly. You automatically put your hand to that place and smiled. If you had any doubts, that feeling took them away from you.

“She has moved…” You said tenderly. Marilyn glanced at you briefly, and her face filled with excitement. “I think she likes that one.”

“Really?” Marilyn asked. Surely not being able to feel how she moved in your body  made her very angry. You nodded slowly, lovingly caressing that area.

“Yes, Evelyn, it's decided,” you said convinced. “It's a beautiful name...”

“I think the same, (Y/N).”

You wanted to enjoy that moment, but nature required your attention for the third time on that trip.

“Um…Mari…can we stop?” You asked, embarrassed.

“Again?”

You just shook your head up and down.

Fortunately there was a resting area a few kilometers away. Marilyn stopped the car and got out to open your door.

“Should I help you, honey?” She asked affectionately. You were so proud, and you shook your head, exaggeratedly moving your arms away from her.

“No, no, no. I'm not disabled, I can do it by myself,” you said, making an effort to get up. Marilyn crossed her arms and frowned at you. You felt ridiculous not being able to get to your feet and your cheeks turned red.

“Really?” she asked sarcastically.

You looked at her with some resentment, but you extended your hand towards her.

“Well, I may need a little help…” You said with an almost inaudible voice. Marilyn smirked and helped you up.

“Are you okay?” She asked, as worried as ever.

“Yeah, yeah… I'm going to the bathroom or we're going to have a problem,” you said, walking towards the gas station.

After a while, you returned to the car, where the redhead was waiting.

“Lets take a walk? I need to stretch my legs,” she asked you. You nodded and grabbed her arm, walking through that almost deserted gas station. The day was cold, but your wife was always there to protect you from the freezing temperatures.

“Mari…” You said, resting your head on her shoulder.

“Hmm?”

“I'm sorry you have to drive all the way…” You said with a sincere apologetic tone.

“It's okay, my love... The important thing is that you and the girl are well,” she told you, with her relaxing voice.

“Hey, she's not “the girl” anymore, now she has a name, do you remember?” You said amused.

“Oh it's true. Evelyn…”

“Evelyn…” You sighed too. As soon as you spoke, something moved on your belly. She seemed to like hearing her name very much. “Hey, Marilyn, she's moving…”

The redhead stopped and lovingly placed her hand on your belly. Her face was like the happiest person in the world.

“Yes, I can feel her,” she said, almost with tears in her eyes. “It's, it's incredible… I still can't believe it was possible.”

Seeing Marilyn so happy made you feel like you were  walking on the clouds. She was so excited. But she was right, neither of you thought you could have a child of your own.

“Well, the fact that you work at Nevermore has had a lot to do with it,” you commented, remembering how her co-workers offered to find a spell, or a ritual to make it possible.

“I don't know how to thank them for their help. This is the best thing that has happened to me in all my life…” She said excitedly. “Well, after meeting you, of course.”

You smiled and put your hand on hers, while you noticed how little Evelyn seemed to understand your words.

“Was that a kick?” the redhead asked. “Calm down, my love...” She said, speaking to your belly. “Your moms are here with you...”

A chill brought you back to reality. It was starting to get very cold, it was time to go back to the car.

“I'm starting to freeze a little…” You said, shivering.

“Sure, sure, come on, let's go back to the car,” Marilyn said, hugging you affectionately while she rubbed your arm.

You don't know how much time passed, but when you raised your head, you were already entering your small town. You realized that you had fallen asleep and you felt so bad for your wife.

“Mari…” You said yawning. “Forgive me, I fell asleep...”

“Honey, don't apologize, you have to rest,” She said, with a kind voice. “But it's very good that you've woken up, because I don't know where to go now.”

“Oh… Um… Do you see that pharmacy on the corner?”

Marilyn agreed. It was beginning to snow and visibility was gradually reducing.

“To the right and then straight ahead until the end of the street.”

The redhead followed your instructions and soon you arrived at your destination. As always, your parents' house was ridiculously decorated with Christmas lights. When you were a little girl you liked to put them next to your father. Apparently he continued to maintain the tradition.

“(Y/N)!” Your father said, opening the door. “We were starting to worry.”

“Hello dad,” you said, trying to hold in one of her hugs. “We've had to stop quite a few times, my fault.”

He also greeted your wife affectionately. He was a good man, and he never judged you for being with her.

Going back into your house was strange for you, but a comforting nostalgia invaded you at the same time. Your mother was sitting in her chair, and when she saw you she made an exaggerated expression of joy.

“(Y/N), my little one, how big you are now…” She said, hugging you affectionately. “Hi Marilyn, nice to see you.”

The redhead greeted your mother and put the suitcases on the floor. Your mother put her hands on your belly affectionately. She was very surprised when you told her that she was going to be a grandmother, but somehow, that ended her dislike for Marilyn.

“How is my precious granddaughter doing?” She asked with a goofy voice.

“Taking into account that there is a month left for her to be born, she is doing great. At least she has some heat,” you said ironically, rubbing your hands. Your town was a very cold place, it always was.

“Oh, yes, if you had come yesterday you would surely get stuck on the road. There was like a meter and a half of snow,” your father said, taking your suitcases.

“Richard, don't say those things, don't make her nervous,” your mother said, scolding her husband. He stuck his tongue out at her and headed down the hall.

“Please, sit down, I'm finishing preparing dinner,” she said kindly. You looked at Marilyn, telling her with your look how strange it seemed to you that your mother was being so nice.

“I'm going to the bathroom first,” you said, turning around.

When you came out, relieved, you walked slowly and quietly. You knew that your mother used to make mean comments to Marilyn, but surprisingly, all you heard was a soft laughter. You looked out and saw the image that you always wanted to see.

Your mother and your wife talking quietly by the warmth of the fireplace.

“Am I interrupting something?” You asked jokingly, sitting next to the redhead. She looked at you and smiled, shaking her head.

“Your mother was telling me how much you loved Christmas when you were a little girl,” she told you, rubbing your back.

“Oh.”

“When she was eight years old, she was suddenly frightened by the idea that a man with a bag would come down with the chimney and enter the house. That Christmas Eve she slept hugging a tennis racket,” she said amused. Your face burned with embarrassment, and even more so when you saw how the redhead laughed.

“Mom!”

“It was just an anecdote,” she said, looking at you with some superiority. You grunted and crossed your arms indignantly. “You should go to change your clothes. Dinner will be ready in ten minutes.”

You both nodded and went to the room your parents had prepared.

You clumsily managed to put on something more elegant, even though you didn't look like that. Suddenly a puncture in your belly made you slouch. It was a sharp, intense pain, and of course it was not lost on Marilyn.

“(Y/N), what's wrong?” she asked, worried. You shook your head.

“Nothing, it was nothing,” you said, trying to reassure both her and yourself. The pain subsided a little, but not quite, becoming a softer, but permanent sensation. You decided not to worry Marilyn anymore and pretend everything was fine.

“Hou hou houuu,” your father said as you left the room. He always managed to embarrass you in some way, but you loved him very much for it.

Dinner was elegant. Your parents liked to dress up for Christmas Eve dinner, and make it a fancy and sophisticated occasion. In addition they like preparing a huge amount of food.

“Have you already thought of a name?” your mother asked while you were having dinner. You both looked at each other excited to have an answer, but your mother did not let you speak. “I have always liked something classic, like Jaqueline. It is the name of an important woman.”

You grimaced and shook your head with wide eyes.

“I like Richard, so you can call him Richard Jr.” Your father said, maintaining the horrible habit of speaking with his mouth full of food.

You snorted and became serious.

“Dad, it's a girl,” you said, sick of telling him.

“Well, well, you never know the way it could end,” he said, ignoring your comment. You rolled your eyes and raised your hand to your forehead. You were sweating

It was hot in the house, but you didn't think it was hot enough to make you sweat. The pain from before returned, and you closed your eyes, trying to hide it.

“Honey, are you alright?” Marilyn asked, clearly noticing. “Do you need something?”

“N, no… I'm fine,” you said, blatantly lying. You knew how she got when you weren't well, and you didn't want to worry her.

“You don't look good,” she whispered to you, while she pretended to listen to another of the "funny stories about your father."

“Mari, seriously, stop worrying, I'm…I'm…” You couldn't continue the sentence. The pain became unbearable, and now you managed to get your parents' attention.

“(Y/N), what's wrong?” Your mother asked, getting up worried.

“I… I… I, it hurts,” you could say. Marilyn's eyes were wide with an expression of utter terror.

“Oh my God…” She said, placing a comforting hand on your back. “Calm down, breathe...”

“Fuck…” You said through your teeth, while you writhed in pain.

“Let's go to the hospital, right now,” Marilyn said, helping you up.

“Is the baby coming?” your father asked, also scared.

“I… I don't know…” You stammered, letting you put a coat over your shoulders.

“Wait, (Y / N), We go with you,” your mother said, going to look for her bag.

“No! No!” You screamed, holding your belly with your hand. “I need to be... Calm.”

“Hey, Marilyn,” your father said, tossing her what looked like the keys to his truck. “Take my monster, it's snowing a lot out there.”

“Thank you,” she said, walking out the door.

“Hold on honey, we're almost there,” she told you. You didn't see anything. Snow and pain clouded your mind. You had never felt anything like this, and you were worried, very worried.

At the hospital they treated you right away, luckily none of your old doctors were left, you would have to give a lot of explaining.

“Are you feeling better, (Y/N)?” the doctor said, entering the room in which they had put you. You agreed. The pain subsided after a short time. Marilyn was sitting next to you, lightly caressing your forehead.

“Yes... It seems that it doesn't hurt anymore,” you said, dizzy.

“Is the baby okay?” Marilyn asked, worried. You also looked at the doctor with a panicked face.

“Of course, but if you stay calmer…” the friendly doctor said, bringing an ultrasound machine closer to you. “Show me that belly, dear. You lifted your clothes and felt again the uncomfortable cold of that liquid.

The machine started to ring, but you weren't looking at the screen, you were looking at the doctor, trying to decipher her expressions.

“Oh yeah…” She murmured. This little baby still has a while to go out,” she said, turning the machine so that you could see it.

You always got that silly face looking at the ultrasounds, exactly the same as your wife.

“She doesn't have much left, though,” she said kindly, taking in the details.

“What happened to me?” You asked, without taking your eyes off your daughter.

“Oh, it's quite usual, it's just been some practice contractions. Your body is... let's say, "rehearsing" for when the big day arrives. It is very common on new mothers.”

Marilyn and you sighed at the same time. It wasn't ideal for your daughter to be born there, you preferred Jericho, at least there you wouldn't have to give so many explanations.

“Great…” You said, breathing normally. “Can we go now? My parents are worried.”

“Of course.”

Feeling much better, you went back to the car. It seemed as if the weather had also given you a truce, since it had stopped snowing.

You explained to your parents what had happened and the desire you had to get into bed was already unbearable. You calmly made yourself comfortable and lay on your back, feeling how sleeping that night was not going to be difficult.

“Are you feeling better, honey?” Marilyn asked you, entering the room. You nodded and hit the bed so that she would lie down with you.

“What a scare you gave me...” She whispered, snuggling up next to you and placing a hand on your bulging belly.

“It seems that Evelyn has seen my parents and she has regretted going out,” you said, amused. Marilyn laughed and hugged you even more tenderly.

“Don't say that, (Y/N). They are behaving wonderfully,” she told you softly.

“That's what scares me,” you answered, taking her hand. She brought it to her lips and kissed it lovingly.

The redhead turned off the light and she lay back down, still holding you protectively.

“Hey, Marilyn,” you said, interrupting the silence of the night.

“Hmm?”

“Do you think we'll be good mothers to her?” You asked, noticing how suddenly your eyes refused to close.

“Of course, my love…” She told you, gently kissing your cheek. “Evelyn will be very happy.”

You couldn't help but get a little excited. The idea of being a mother seemed a bit rash to you, but little by little it began to sound too good in your head. There was nothing you could do anymore to show your wife that you loved her, except give her someone to love, give her a family to care for and protect.

“I love you…” You murmured.

“Me too, honey. I love you so much.”

A short time later you began to feel how sleep was taking over you, and you decided to surrender to it. After all, the next day was Christmas, and there were many things to celebrate.

“Merry Christmas, sweetheart,” your mother said, giving you a gift.

“Thanks, mom,” you said, slowly removing the wrapping paper, just the way you liked it. “Oh, Stephen King's new book, I love it,” you said excitedly.

Marilyn also had gifts, and they mysteriously hit the mark. The calls your mother made you a week before had nothing to do with it. She was happy, radiant, but deep down you could see a certain melancholy in her face. She was an orphan, she had no family, and a day like that, it was especially hard to remember. You held her hand, letting her know that she would never be alone again, never.

“And this is for the newest member of the family,” your father said, handing the two of you an awkwardly wrapped package.

“Oh my God...” You said while you unwrapped it. You took it out of the box and frowned. “A baby-size baseball outfit?” You asked. Marilyn tried to hold back her laughter.

“Yes, like this from a young age, you can make him a child who is passionate about sports. Who knows, he might end up being a superstar. The league needs new talents,” he said, unfortunately seriously.

“Dad, for the last time, it's, a, girl!”  You said raising your tone, but without any rancor.

“And that's why she can't play baseball? (Y/N), how old-fashioned you are,” you put your hand to your forehead and you shook your head. Loud laughter filled the walls of that house.

“By the way, (Y/N),” your mother said, interrupting the fun. “You did not get to tell us what her name will be…”

You looked at Marilyn and stayed like that for a moment, feeling the most intense love you've ever felt.

“Evelyn… we’re going to name her Evelyn.”

Yo what romance you reading? 👀 Also any recs welcome spread the good taste ✊😩

FJFKJF when i wrote that post i was definitely reading motherland: fort salem fanfiction 😅 i’ve been staying up too late reading fanfiction like some sort of 20 year old who can still do that without risking their health.

BUT i’ve been reading a lot of lesbian romance this year and i’m absolutely down to provide some recs! important disclaimer, however, i only read one (1) subgenre that’s best described as “ice queen lesbian milf office romance” ft an age gap between 21+ adults. understandably this is not everyone’s jam, but i am simply a 20something lesbian who thinks older women are really hot. what can i say

here are five recs in order of preference:

1. “truth and measure” by roslyn sinclair - the original adapted novel version of the same-titled legendary mirandy/devil wears prada fic. jules moretti is the long-suffering assistant of vivian carlisle, the CEO of a prestigious fashion magazine. then vivian gets pregnant mid divorce, with only jules by her side. and it only gets gayer from there.

listen. i genuinely could not stop reading truth and measure by roslyn sinclair. for three days, i woke up, vaguely did my adult tasks, and read for several hours in a state of what i can only call hysteria. the chemistry is insane. vivian is a hot mean loser with sad eyes and jules is insane for every choice she makes. btw i imagined the nanny!era lauren lane as vivian and current day alison scagliotti as jules. i had the time of my life. 10000/10

(also: i still highly recommend the published version to anyone who read the og fic - the story feels both brand new and wonderfully, nostalgically familiar.)

2. “the headmistress” by milena mckay - sam threadneedle, a closeted math teacher working at a conservative girls boarding school, hooks up with an insanely hot older woman at a conference in the city. three months later, that same hot older woman shows up at the school. woops, she’s the new principal and she’s there to cause problems! the prose is decent, the melodrama is fun to read, and the chemistry is zesty. solid 8/10

3. “the music and the mirror” by lola keeley - based on a supercat/supergirl fic of (i think) the same name. anna, the newest member of a prestigious ballet company, really wants to impress victoria, the former prima ballerina turned artistic director. well, she definitely does that! victoria decides that anna is going to be her company’s new star. this one has a lot of homoerotic partner dancing and really great side characters. still reads like a supercat fic, but honestly that’s another plus. 9/10

4. “the love factor” by quinn ivins - set in the 90’s, this book follows a closeted statistics professor and her TA, a very out lesbian political science phd candidate, as they expose a homophobic professor for falsifying data and fall in love. not as horny as others i’ve read, but still wildly tender and cathartic. i loved also how much empathy this book showed towards closeted lgbt folks. 7/10

5. “something to talk about” by meryl wilsner - also based on a mirandy fic, this book follows the misadventures of a hollywood showrunner and her assistant when they’re mistaken for a couple at a red carpet event. this book strained my suspension of disbelief the most—i simply don’t think everyone in emma’s life would be rooting for her to date her boss LMAO—but the chemistry is great and the pining is unreal. 7/10

oooo hiii I'd like to join in for the shivlina headcanons insanity (love love love how you write them and FUNDAMENTALLY UNDERSTAND THEM BOTH btw). What would you answer about numbers 1, 29 and 30?

!!!! Thank you so much that's so lovely!

1) Who is more protective?

hmm. This is one I've been thinking about for a minute, because I think...they don't feel they have to "protect" one another. I think the perception they have of each other is that that's not someone that needs watching over. That being said, when Shiv is 8 months pregnant and an unflattering tabloid picture makes her so upset that she doesn't get out of bed all day (she's struggling lately) and Karolina couldn't do anything about it if she wanted to because that's technically Tom's job, Karolina tracks down the photographer and has him blacklisted. It's fine. 'Paparazzi photographer' isn't a respectable way for anyone to make a living. And if she frames it as a freebie for Tom, does she actually even get anything out of it?

29) What is something small that they would randomly pick up for one another?

Okay, so, they get each other things that will make the other laugh. Like. Shiv once confessed to having a lifelong intense crush on Mariska Hargitay, and the deep guilt over fantasizing about her because Shiv only knows her from a copaganda show about violent sex crimes, and is that problematic? A few weeks later, she finds a tiny Olivia Benson bobblehead doll on her desk with a note in Karolina's neat handwriting that says, "Don't jerk off to it or anything." For days Shiv finds herself unable to not laugh the second she thinks about it.

Shiv returned the favor in the form of a miniature porcelain penis with an attached note that said, "So you can go fuck yourself." It made Karolina's morning.

30) How do their personalities compliment each other?

I think they come from very different backgrounds--they're circumstances are just different in so many ways, but ultimately they're made of the same stuff: they're both driven, ambitious, hard as fuck. They know the game from very similar positions. They understand each other on another level. Their differences can sometimes feel big, but the pros outweigh the cons. I think Karolina grounds Shiv, and Shiv brings a spark to Karolina's life she didn't anticipate.

Is Bastet reaching out to me and my friends?

(This is quite the long story btw)

So for context, my friends (who are also Pagan and Witches (ones Wiccan)) were on a late night walk yesterday when we happened to run into some events and cats. First we ran into this big cat and a guy looking for his wallet was driving around and asked us (which we hadnt but I hope he did find it lmao). Next on our way to the park we ran into this stray pregnant black cat (who I just found out today is 8-9 months old). She followed us all the way to the park and then all the way back to my house afterwards. Though as we were at the park this (possibly drunk) driver drove off the road, onto the sidewalk, then into the grass towards us. This is when we decided to book it out of the park and back to my house (Which the black cat still followed us). I decided to keep her at my house since she was not leaving my front door. So right now we are keeping her in my garage with food, water, a bed, and a litter box. (We would keep her inside but she is very aggressive around my other cats).

Anyways if anyone does read this all the way through, I was wondering if this could be some sign from Bastet to me and my friends? Or maybe just one of us?
