DIANE FISHER HEADCANONS (without cult mentions)

Diane “DeeDee” Nilsson was born in Visby, Sweeden. She came to the U.S. as a foreign exchange student, and became absolutely smitten by the country. Not even a month after she'd became a legal adult, she was working towards citizenship to the country.

Diane’s foreign exchange family had a daughter her age by the name of Genevieve “Gen” Parks. Gen and Diane were two of kind. They were practically sisters through high school. Part of their click was Stacy “CeCe” Jean (later to be Stacy Holmes). They made jokes constantly that Gen and Diane were pretty hussies and that Stacy would be the only one to ever marry and live a prudent life. Oh, the irony.

Diane’s first fling was with someone everyone referred to as ‘The Little Phelps Boy’. They dated through the summer she arrived and her freshman year/his sophomore year. However, their relationship ended rather suddenly. Not soon after, Phelps moved away. Diane didn’t give details, but whatever happened with them shook her up bad.

Diane and Henry Fisher began dating her sophomore year and his senior year.

When Diane was a junior, she invited Henry back to her the school for prom night. When she did, he took that lovely moment to propose to her. She said yes, but her parents quickly slammed their foot down from overseas saying no. This resulted in them having to wait until Diane was of age. When she turned 18 and had finished citizenship, she and Henry married.

Diane came from a richer family, but had been nearly disowned when they found she was hellbent on marrying a ‘wild American lad’ while she was still so young. While her parents didn’t disown her in the end and they kept contact through monthly letters, she was cut off from their money supply due to not calling the wedding off.

When Henry went off to college on a scholarship, him and Diane moved into Gen’s apartment. Diane started work at the library for Henry’s college to get him cheaper college tuition.

Despite their efforts, Diane and Henry had it rough through college as far as finances went. They were lucky to have Gen behind them.

It was only a month after Henry got his masters degree that Diane found out she was pregnant. She told Henry, almost in fear that he’d be against having a child. They were both frightened, but they decided they would keep the child despite their young age. In time, that young-parent excitement came to them.

They saved up enough money for their own home, finally moving out of Gen’s apartment. It was small and had virtually no yard, but rent was cheap and renovations were allowed, to they took it.

They decided not to wait for a reveal party or the child’s birth to find out their gender. When they discovered they were to have a little girl, they were ecstatic! They decided to name her Genevieve in honor of Gen, who had already agreed to be the little one’s Godmother.

Things were going great! Diane and Henry painted the nursery a light pink. Henry insisted on pinning up little unicorns, and Diane insisted on fairies. In the end, Diane ended up dragging an old friend who owed her a favor (a man she called “Jimmy J.”) to her house so he could use his painting expertise. In the end, their was a unicorn mural with fairies fluttering around it painted across an entire wall.

Then, in a heart-shattering turn of events, Diane lost the baby.

Her water broke two months early and she went into labor. Henry was at work, but Diane’s friend had just finished the mural and was still present. He used the landline to call 911 and then tended to Diane the best he could. She went through about fifteen minutes of pain before the baby started to crown. Her friend was forced to help her deliver. By the time EMTs arrived, Diane was half dead and the baby was long gone.

Diane was of course devastated by this loss, but Henry took the blow far worse than she did. He buried himself in work and turned to liquor to calm himself. This forced Diane to man up and play the strong one. Together, they slowly but surely rebounded from this incident.

Only a year later, Diane found she was pregnant again.

While they once again made the decision to keep the child, they were both hesitant on getting attached at first. Though, how distant can you be from your own child? Within a week, that joy they had experienced with Genevieve, jr., was being experienced again.

This time, they were to have a son. They settled on naming him Sal, after Diane’s father, Salvador Nilsson.

Once again, they went haywire trying to set things up perfect for this child. You wouldn't believe how much money they blew on that nursery. Diane’s had moved back to the place where Diane had been schooled and she had met him, preparing to marry a pretty woman he’d recently met. This meant there was no beautiful mural, but Diane and Henry were actually able to make a decorating choice on their own for the nursery. It turned out to be perfect in their opinion.

Once again, Diane’s water broke early. This time, only by a week, which wasn’t too early to not be able to save the child.

Their son was delivered via c-section.

Diane was warned by doctors not to have anymore children by doctors, as she shouldn’t have even been able to have a child in the first place. Turns out her uterus was upside down, which is what caused the difficulties with both her daughter and son.

Not too long after bringing Sal home, it was ever-so-clear he was just like his mother. He was drawn to the same aesthetic, he had her dazzling blue eyes and her cute little button nose. He also seemed to radiate with the adventurous spirit his mother had harbored in her youth. There was no doubt about it: Sal Fisher was going to be a momma’s boy.
