I have an idea! Tom and y/n going to The Eras Tour!!!

They get invited and that makes her so excited that she puts Tom to help her make friendship bracelets so they could interact with some fans. Also she is so excited th get them matching outfits.

During the concert they get to exchange friendship bracelets, dance during Lover, y/n gets emotional during fearless and speak now bc she remembered her young years and when the Midnights set comes she says to Tom “I would let you enjoy this one” while Taylor starts with Vigilante Shit.

Then at the end Tom says to Y/N something like “you should learn the reputation dances or at least the vigilante shit one… you know, for me” !!!!!!

TOO MUCH TEXT IM SORRY

Era’s tour

a/n- sorry it took me so long I’m dealing with a lot of crappy things right now 😭😭😭

warnings- long, slut

“Tommy!” You screeched, smile on your face as you looked at your text from Taylor.

“What?” Tom asked, running in, fear in his face.

“Taylor invited us to come to her tour!” You squealed, huge smile on your face.

“That’s amazing love!” He smiled, coming up to you, wrapping you in his arms.

“I’m so excited!” You smiled, turning around, looking up at his face. “Oh my gosh!!! We have to get matching outfits!!! What era should we go as? I mean probably lover, right?”

“What ever you want darling,” Tom smiled, kissing your head.

“Wait, what about Lady? Do you think Rachel and Josh will watch her? I mean, I want to take her, but I don’t want to leave her alone in a hotel for six hours.”

“I think they’ll be more than happy to watch her.”

“Oh my gosh! Tommy, you have to help me make friendship bracelets to exchange! Please!”

“Oh course,” he smiled, looking down at you, chuckling a little.

“What?” You asked, smiling up at him, hands on his chest.

“You’re adorable.” Your face turned bright red from embarrassment as you hid it in his chest. “It’s not a bad thing, love. I love that about you.”

“Really?” You asked, looking up at him.

“Really. I love you so much.”

“I love you too. So much!”

💜💜💜

“I’m so excited!” You smiled, as you walked to the box, hand in hand with Tom.

As you walked fans walked up to you two and took pictures with you, and traded bracelets with you. You were already having a blast and loved that Tom was here with you.

“Y/N,” you heard a familiar voice call.

“Travis!” You gasped, a big smile on your face as you let go of Tom’s hand to hug Travis.

“Hey baby girl,” he smiled, kissing your head. “How’s my favorite celebrity daughter doing?”

“Good! How are you?”

“I’m good.”

“Hey, Scott.” You smiled, hugging Taylor’s dad, Scott Swift.

“Hey, sweetheart.” He smiled, hugging you.

You let go and grabbed Tom’s hand again. “Travis, Scott, this is my boyfriend Tom. Tom this is Travis and Scott.” You let out.

“Hi, it’s nice to meet you.” He smiled, shaking Travis’s hand, then Scott’s. “Both of you.”

💜💜💜

The intro started and you started screaming and jumping as you waited for Taylor to come out. Tom held your hand and watched with love at how excited you were.

You scream sang the lyrics to the opening songs then screamed as she did her opening speech. She started playing Lover and you looked up at Tom, a smile on your face and love in your eyes. Same as him.

“Dance with me, love?” He asked, putting out his hand as Taylor started singing.

“I would love to,” you smiled, grabbing his hand and waltzing around to lover.

You danced around the box singing with Tom as Taylor sang.

“Ladies and gentleman will you please stand,” you sang, looking up at Tom. “With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover.”

Tom kissed your head and let go of your hands fast enough to take off one of his rings, grabbing your hand again to slide it on your finger. “I’m going to marry you one day love.” He smiled, kissing you.

“I love you so much,” you breathed after your pulled away.

💜💜💜

Tears came to your eyes as the Fearless era started because it reminded you of when you were in highschool and all your dumb teenage loves and how you listened to these songs. You remembered how you felt yelling these songs while driving in your car on the way to school.

Tom saw a tear fall and wrapped his arm around you. “I love you baby.” He whispered, kissing your head.

💜💜💜

When Taylor came out in her Speak Now dress and started singing Enchanted you and Tom danced around together singing it to each other.

💜💜💜

The night was flying by and Taylor had just finished her surprise songs, but didn’t get up from her piano yet.

“Um,” Taylor started, looking around. “If it’s okay with you, we’re gonna do something different tonight. So usually I only play two surprise songs. But there’s a couple in the crowd tonight that I now dedicate a song to. It’s a newer song, but I wrote it years ago. And about a year or so ago this happened to someone that’s like a daughter to me.” You gasped as you grabbed Tom’s hand, tears forming in your eyes as you know where she is going with this. “And I remember her calling me crying from her hotel room in, I think it was like Germany. She told me what happened and I just felt terrible. I told her that I went through the same thing and I played her this song. Ladies and gentlemen Y/N Y/L/N is in the house!”

The crowed started cheering as Taylor started playing the piano again.

“But if I’m all dressed up they might as well be looking at us. And if they call me a slut, you know it might be worth it for once. If I’m gonna be drunk, I might as well be drunk in love.

Send that code, he’s waiting there the sticks and stones they throw froze mid-air. Everyone wants him that was my crime. The wrong place at the right time. And I brake down, then he’s pulling me in. In a world of boys he’s a gentleman.”

You looked up at Tom tears streaming down your face as you wrapped your arms around his s tight as you could.

“I love you so much!” You let out. “Thank you so much for not letting me go.”

“I would never my love. I love you more than anyone,”

he explained, holding you tight and kissed the crown of your head.

💜💜💜

As Taylor started singing Vigilante Shit you looked at Tom and smirked. “I’ll let you enjoy this one.”

“You know,” he smirked back, pulling you closer to him, tickling your rib. You should learn this dance. You know, for me.”

Can you write about Drew with his little family visiting him for his days off from filming? 🩷

Also I love that you write about black oc readers!! It’s rare in this fandom to find that.

vacay

dad!drew starkey x mom!reader, not proof read, & yes more black representation for the obx fandom pls! also this is kinda long soo enjoy 😖

drew had been gone filming for about a month now.

for you, it was easy not to get so hung up over the fact he was gone for such a long time.

when you first started dating, it was definitely a tragedy. and it pained you everytime that you couldn’t just go with him.

and even now, of course you missed him like crazy. but after all these years of being together, you’ve learned how to deal with it and it got easier.

but for his baby aaliyah who’s never been separated from her daddy? oh this was hell.

she couldn’t even stand the sight of him walking out the door for 10 minutes, so now that he’s walked out the door, and hasn’t come back for weeks?

she definitely was not having it.

you knew how she was going to react as well, so for weeks you prepared yourself for the endless tears and tantrums.

“you know she’s going to be a pain when i’m gone, right?” drew reminds you while you guys get ready for bed.

“trust me, i know. im getting myself ready for it as we speak.” you reply as you start to wrap your hair up for bed.

he chuckles. “you guys can always come with, though. that’d be a good idea especially for her.”

“maybe like a visit for a few days, but i don’t think her being out of the country for that long is a good idea.” you said as you laid down in the bed. drew agreed with that statement and you both moved on to the next topic.

that was weeks ago. but now? you were starting to consider whether or not you should’ve just taken drew’s idea.

you tried so many resolutions with liyah, and nothing seemed to work.

the girl never seemed to tire herself out either. she just recently turned one, yet you were already seeing the tunnel to the terrible 2’s somehow.

to be fair, she was an angel. but once she got started, you didn’t know if and when she was going to stop.

currently you were trying to feed her. you had ms rachel on your phone in front of her because that seemed to calm her down in the tiniest bit when she would get upset.

it was going good, until drew had started to call you.

and as soon as she saw the picture of you and him pop on the screen, waterworks flooded all over again.

“i just calmed this baby down and now he wanna call me.” you mutter to yourself, partially annoyed even though he couldn’t control it.

facetimes never seemed to make her feel better and it actually quite made her even more upset, but maybe hearing his voice at the very beginning of a breakdown could ease her, so you went ahead and picked up.

“hello?” you propped the phone up on the table then picked her up and tried shushing her.

he didn’t even need to ask ‘how are my girls?’ because he could clearly tell.

“awe, i miss my baby too.” he pouts.

you picked up the phone and put it in her face so she could see him. “talk to her, your voice might help.”

“hi my love. shh, it’s okay daddy’s right here.” he says through the phone.

she stops wailing, but she’s still making whining and crying noises.

“she’s taking this even worse than i thought,” you say. “i knew it was going to be bad, but not this terrible.”

“she’s just a true daddy’s girl. what can i say?” drew smirks through the phone.

“you might find this funny but i have real life headaches from her, joseph.” he laughs at the use of his real name.

“i bet you do, im sorry baby.” he says, “why don’t you guys come and visit for a little bit?”

this time, you were quick to actually be on board.

“i think that’s a good idea too.” you started bouncing aaliyah up and down and gave her kisses. she wasn’t as loud with her whining, but she was still continuing. “i think it’s time we go see daddy.”

drew smiles, “i can’t wait. i’m gonna take some time off and buy your tickets. when do you wanna come out?”

“shit, tomorrow.” you sigh.

he laughs again at your comments but knows you’re being completely serious at the same time. “get to packing then baby.”

that’s all he had to say for you to pick the phone up and make your way upstairs with liyah.

first you started in liyah’s room. drew was still on the phone with you, talking way more than you were because she seemed to be getting quieter and quieter. it bothered her that she couldn’t feel him, but right now she’s was taking whatever she could take.

you showed him outfits, he decided whatever or not he liked him. you made sure to pack a whole separate bag for all of her baby necessities as well.

because you were connecting with drew in some way, it felt like an easy task you were able to accomplish. you knew for a fact if he wasn’t on the phone it would’ve taken you the rest of the day with her wailing and screaming.

when you were done packing her bag, you tried putting her to sleep. of course it took about an hour, but eventually she was soundly asleep. all you could do was thank heavens.

placing her in her crib, you had to really tiptoe out the door. if she woke up while you were in the middle of trying to walk out and leave, that would be another meltdown waiting to happen.

you and drew stayed on the phone even after she was liyah was put to sleep, but you made sure to keep the volume of the phone down so that his voice didn’t travel to her. now it was time to pack your clothes. he helped you pick out your outfits, and you did a mini fashion show for him with your outfits.

he loved them all, and occasionally gave a ‘do a little spin for me.’

every moment with him, or even just talking to him was great. no matter if you were actually next to him, or through the phone.

but unfortunately, you guys couldn’t stay on the phone forever. it was soon time for him to start filming again.

“i gotta go baby, but i love you so much, and i’ll see you two soon.” he said while walking back to his set. “kiss my baby for me.”

“i will. i love you too.” you smile then hang up the phone. you sighed and rubbed your face, thinking about how quick this was happening, but how ready you were at the same time. if it was going to get her to stop crying so much and was also going to get you to see your man again, a win is a win!

after everything, it was about 5 pm. this was a late nap for liyah and she would be up end up being bouncing up off the walls, but maybe that was good cus then she would sleep on the plane ride tomorrow.

heading back downstairs, you made dinner for yourself & made sure to leave a little for liyah cus she’ll get hungry out of nowhere.

you also made it a chore to clean the entire downstairs of your house, because coming back to a clean house after a few days on vacay is always a nice thing.

surprisingly, liyah didn’t wake up once. you weren’t too loud, but loud enough for her to start yelling, waiting for mommy or daddy to pick her up.

you love that girl to death, but her tantrums are for the birds.

after you were done, you went to check on her. she was still soundly asleep, most likely for once tired herself out with all the noises. soon, you were going to have to wake her up so she could take a bath. but you weren’t worried about that at the moment. you were finally able to pamper yourself for the evening, then deal with her later.

your phone dinged, and knowing what the message was you opened it right away.

2 attachments from drew, and they were your tickets to morocco for 10 days at 6 am.

hearting both of the attachments, you started to get excited.

one month wasn’t too much of a long period of time, but it was always enough for you and your baby to miss him more and more each day.

you could finally see him again, and you’d be reunited as a family.

—

the night went smoothly. she only woke up once, and that was to bathe and eat a bit of what you had made. she was easy to put back to sleep, and that’s what matter the most. you could’ve had more sleep for yourself, but the hours were efficient enough.

sooner than later your alarm rang for 4:30. you weren’t a morning person whatsoever, but you definitely did not have a problem waking up right now since you knew what was to come in only a matter of time.

it was going to be a real long ride of 11 hours, but the outcome would be worth it.

getting up out of bed, you brushed your teeth and washed your face with your products, then put those into your suitcase.

you let liyah sleep for a few more minutes, then woke her up knowing you were just going to put her in her mini uggs and throw a coat over her pajamas.

and as for you, you were keeping your hair the way it was and throwing on a hoodie and sweatpants.

you took this time to order the uber to the airport, and bring both of your suitcases and her baby bag downstairs.

walking back up to her room, you picked her up from the crib and started to pat her back while bouncing her. the movement would keep her asleep and peaceful instead of awake and cranky.

“we’ll see daddy sooner than you know it, mama.” you whispered to her.

not even bothering to make breakfast since it was too early for the both of you to be eating, you turned off everything in the house and waited for the car. it was now 5:15 and the car was going to pull up any minute.

liyah woke up for just two seconds, “mama?”

“yes baby?”

“where dada?”

“we’re gonna see him in a few hours, don’t worry.” you softly laid her head back down so she could close her eyes again. as she was falling asleep, the car pulled up and it was time to go.

stepping outside with a baby and one hand and dragging suitcases in the other, the driver stepped out to help you load up, and you placed aaliyah in the car seat you had requested the driver to have.

he closed the trunk and hopped right back into the car. he pulled out from your driveway and made small talk with you. you tried your best to keep up, but it was just too damn early.

after a 10 minute ride to the airport, he unloaded your things for you and helped you bring them inside while you carried liyah. you thanked him, then did all the stuff you needed to do before waiting to board the plane.

aaliyah was still asleep, clearly all the tantrums finally caught up with her.

you texted drew a few times, even though he was most likely resting.

but about 30 minutes later, it was time to board the plane. you had all your luggage ready, and you guys were finally able to start the real travel.

—

the plane ride was long, but it wasn’t bad.

you kept liyah busy with movies, coloring, and eating a few things.

she didn’t eat everything since plane food isn’t the greatest, but she ate some and so did you.

you had boarded the plane around 6 in the morning, well now it was 4:30 and you had just landed.

aaliyah had a burst of energy, and you knew she was ready to just play and be carefree again.

thankfully, the passengers were nice enough to help you walk off the plane and help with your luggage when they saw you with a baby, so the plane experience overall was definitely a 10/10.

you had called drew on the plane, and he let you know he’d been waiting with open arms. you were overjoyed, practically jumping with excitement on the inside and out.

but if you think you were over the top happy, seeing the look on aaliyah’s face while you walked to find drew waiting at the morocco airport had you all the way beat.

“DADDY!!!” she screamed in your arms once you started to make it towards him.

you giggled at her her volume, and was also just happy enough yourself to laugh at anything knowing you were finally with drew again.

he walked towards the two of you and met you halfway, “is that my baby girl?” he smiled and took her from you. their bond was something so special to you, and you were so grateful for how strong their relationship was.

he gave her many kisses and tickles, which made her laugh. this was the first time you saw her so excited in a while.

“and my other baby girl.” he turned to you, pulling you in and giving you a passionate kiss. you weren’t holding back either, you hadn’t seen your man for far too long now. because of this, you covered liyah’s eyes which made drew laugh.

finally pulling away, he kisses your forehead. “i got our whole week planned out.”

this made you smile. “and what will we be doing?”

“there’s restaurants i want you guys to try, there’s a really nice beach, and i got us a really nice hotel. i promise you these 10 days are gonna make up for the month i left you with this little drama queen,” he started liyah a bit at the last part which made her laugh again. her laughs were always so contagious and it made the two of you laugh as well.

“i know they will, you never disappoint.” you kissed his cheek.

he gets close to your ear and whispers so liyah doesn’t hear, “and i promise once we wrap filming, i’ll make you finish everynight, baby.”

this gets your cheeks hot. you can’t lie at all, you really did miss being tossed and turned by him once she was asleep at night.

“be careful with what you say,” you point a finger at him, “i’ll make you a daddy for the second time.”

he laughs, “please do.”

you roll your eyes at him, then start walking out to where his car is.

drew spent the wholeeee time talking to liyah, even though she mostly still speaks in her baby language.

he was having so much fun too, constantly giving an occasional ‘oh really’ and ‘what happened after that?’

it kept him entertained and so did you. you stayed recording the entire thing and could barely hold in your laughter.

you made finally made it to the hotel (not before stopping for some real food though of course.) and he was definitely not lying when he said it was really nice.

nice wasn’t even a good word, it was gorgeous.

“wow,” the three of you walked in. your hands dealing with the cart of luggage while his carried aaliyah. “this really is beautiful.”

“i know,” he looks like he’s in awe himself while he takes in the hotel. “only the best for my girls.”

you smile at him and he wraps an arm around you, the three of you making your way to the hotel room.

you were very happy you took this vacation.

The One With the Stain (Joey Tribbiani x Reader)

This is when Joey is being really sweet to Rachel and makes the living room into an area for the baby. (I’m trying not to include spoilers, so...) In this, you and Joey have been in a relationship for some time now and you live together. This also says that you want children and implies some smut

You and Joey are in the living room, transforming it into a space for Rachel’s baby. 

“What is this?” Rachel enters the apartment, looking over the place. 

“Hey!” Joey exclaims, looking a little too enthusiastic, “Uh, this is just to give you an idea. Okay well, we can put screens here,” He gestured to the crib, “So that the baby has privacy.”

You interjected, pointing above the crib, smiling sheepishly, “Maybe a mobile over the crib?” 

“And look!” Joey interrupts you and holds up a baby monitor, “Here’s a baby monitor, which until the baby comes we can use as walkie-talkies. Huh?” He suggests.

“You two are so sweet!” Rachel moves towards the crib, “Oh my god!” Rachel picked up Hugsy, who was laying the crib and you internally cringed, “And you gave the baby Hugsy!” 

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!” Joey immediately grabbed Hugsy and carefully sat him on his chair, “That-that-that’s really just to show where the baby would go. Y’know, why don’t I hold on to him so that there’s no confusion?“ You can see Joey apologize to Hugsy and you hold back a chuckle. 

“But guys, the baby is going to be crying, and it’s going to be loud.” Rachel says, looking pitiful and sorry for you two.

“I’m loud!” Joey counters, gesturing wildly. 

“Yep!” You agree.

“It’s gonna be up all night!” Rachel groans. 

“I’m up all night!” Joey cries. 

“Yes you are.” You mutter, rubbing your tired eyes.

“It’s gonna poop!” 

“Hello!” Joey yells out.

“What about you, Y/n?” Rachel turns to you, sighing, “Won’t this interrupt your and Joey’s... love life?”

You smile, “Rach, I’m not leaving just because of your baby. If anything, it’ll be good practice for... one day.” You look at Joey to see a surprised look on his face, “And I love you and your baby! We are not leaving!” You reiterate, holding onto her shoulders and then bringing her into a hug.

“Exactly!” Joey adds, “And if things get really bad, then we’ll just do it in the bathroom of the club!” 

“S-Sure.” You hesitate.

“Are you sure?” Rachel asks again.

“Yeah!” Joey calls out, being louder than he usually is, “All right—Look, I know sometimes it’ll be hard, okay? But, it’ll also be really…really great. Please Rachel! I really want you to stay. W-We really want you to stay.”

You nod along, smiling kindly, “And the fact that Joey is putting this much effort into showing you that he wants you to stay says a lot!” 

“I want me to stay too!” Rachel admits, “Thank you both so much.” She brings you both into a tight hug. “Oh!” She presses a hand to her head, “I think I might lie down.” 

“Okay.” 

You and Joey stand in the living room, his arm around your waist and your head on his shoulder. 

Joey notices you looking at the crib, longingly, “What did you mean by practice?” He asks. 

“Hmm?” You hum, not registering his words.

“You said that the baby would be good practice.” 

“Oh. That.” You chuckle awkwardly, “I don’t know. I want kids eventually, and with Rachel’s baby around, we could pick up a few tips and such.”

“We?” Joey looks at you, a mixture between a smile and smirk on his lips. 

“Well I don’t know.” You mumble, looking at the floor, “I’m not planning on breaking up with you, so unless you wanna cut ties, then you’re stuck with me for the foreseeable future.”

“Well, I’m not gonna break up with you,” Joey says, his smile growing, “But we’ve never really talked about our future. And you want kids? You wanna get married?” 

“Yeah.” You blushed, glancing up at him, “I want a future with you. I want kids with you.” 

Joey pulled you close, kissing you roughly, “Then I guess we should start right now.” He drags you towards the bedroom.

You kiss him back but ask, “What about Rachel?”

Joey growls, kissing you again, “She had sex with Ross, I can have sex with you!” 

“Fair enough.”

I would love to see some Emma and Lexie time

Like maybe them shopping, out to lunch, or just ranting about Timo and Nico

It’s unseasonably warm in November in New Jersey. Emma and Lexi, both pregnant, are taking advantage of the weather, and their husbands being home, by taking a walk around the neighborhood without their older children.

“I feel like fire crotch is happening so much earlier this time around.” Emma mumbles. “Like with Lio it was later, not until I was back in Switzerland.”

“I haven’t had it yet, but I fear the day it returns.” Lexi shudders. “But weird that it is happening earlier? You’re carrying her so high.”

‘You’re telling me. I cannot eat anything without getting acid reflux so bad it feels like I’m choking.” Emma huffs. “And also, I really, really miss sushi. Like Timo said they had it Vegas and I wanted to punch him in the face.” 

“Nico said the same thing! I’d rather he just didn’t tell me.” Lexi whines back to her. 

“There is part of me wants to just say fuck it. But I really don’t want the lecture from Doctor Bethany.” Both women have the same doctor this time around. Doctor Bethany delivered Lucie and was highly recommended to Emma for this pregnancy now that she will certainly be delivering in the U.S. Emma likes her, but she wishes the bitch would care less about her fast food cravings. Sometimes you just need some fries from McDonald’s.

“I can see the eyebrow raise right now.” Lexi jokes and Emma laugh heartily. “I’m so excited we are having girls together.”

“Me too! I have been going crazy on buying clothes. I can’t help it! It’s all so stinking cute. Way cuter than boy clothes.” Emma rubs her hand over her upper belly where the baby kicks. “Have you started thinking of names?”

“Yes! We still have some we considered with Luc, so it’s a shorter list than last time.”

“I feel like…” Emma trails off. “We may need to discuss names at some point.”

“What if its a Friends situation!? And you love mine!? You’re delivering first.”

“I promise I won’t take it!” Emma vows. 

“That’s what Rachel said.” Lexi laughs heartily as they head to the right to circle back home.

“I am a better friend than her.” Emma bumps Lexi’s shoulder gently. “Plus we are thinking a Swiss name to match Lee.”

“Okay, well…” Lexi sighs, biting her lip. “We are pretty confident we are going to go with Mackenzie.”

“Oh! I love it!!” Emma squeals, gripping Lexi’s forearm. “Mackenzie Hischier!” 

“Our little Mack.” Lexi muses, rubbing her hand over her bump. She leaves her hand under her belly to cup her close. “What about you?”

“Livia has been at the top of our list for the entire time.” Emma murmurs. “We have been calling her Livy since we found out she is a girl. Timo came up with it… again. He’s so good at coming up with names for our children. I have to be quick to name the next one.” 

“Maybe it is a former hook up?” Lexi jokes, knowing there is no way he would do that.

“Oh I would kill him.” Emma mumbles. “Because I am really in love with the name now! I couldn’t part with it.” 

“Livia and Mackenzie.” Lexi says after a few moments of silence. “We are already so in love with you two.” Emma wraps an arm around Lexi and they hug, bumps pressing together. “Wanna go get ice cream?”

“Yeah, let’s take my car. I’ve got my keys.” Emma giggles.

They hustle, as much as pregnant women can hustle, into Emma’s car, then head off on their pregnancy craving adventure.

#tm: loving & leaving #what my world spins around au

[zeglythofficial]

Chemistry can fade if it isn’t natured but fondness might stay. X-files, I wanna believe so I’ll go with it tbh.

Oh, yin and yang mean harmony but lends well enough for lust and arousal. However, from what I googled, they can also have dramatic arguments, whatever that means.  Care to expand?

R’s a taurus, right? That’s a home sign? Sorry, I’m not very familiar with tarot lmfao. But the website I’m on said they prefer familiarity and comfort and it takes a lot to make them budge from a POV so J has for the time being.

BB won’t let Tom go easily though. If anything, I’m convinced she can pose more of a headache to him than J.

Now, I’m raising my eyebrows. What do you mean, “you don’t think T and R hangout too much without J?”  You mean to say he’s always lurking??  I call it coded tweets and shares but it’s more her ‘likes’ and the stuff she re-posts. So, she liked a post saying she wanted a co-dependent relationship with a friend. She liked a post saying she was feeling lonely (hello, she’s already in a relationship. Shouldn’t her relationship be providing her with solace?  She liked a post a months ago which said understood Ariana Grande and that desire can be all consuming. That it takes brass to go through such pain but sometimes pain is desire. I’m serious. She constantly sings Tom praises and every-time BB’s private account makes some airy literature quote etc. etc. 

 I love that! A forbidden fruit, but forbidden fruit also brings guilt, right? Flirting and rapport is normal amongst people who get on well. But guilt mixed with desire can get very masochistic, fast. Her freezing/clamming up is because she wants to sublimate her desire. She wants Tom to absorb her sexuality and have it fuel him when they interact but not actually do anything. That can be a difficult place for men. Take, that video where they are staring into each-other’s eyes on the red-carpet. R kinda bites her lip when she looks up at him and as if sensing it, T wraps his arm gently around her waist. There’s a brief moment where Rachel shivers, no it isn’t from the weather - but then she gradually leans onto his shoulder. Her body relaxing into him as Tom looks back at the cameras. Their dynamic is utter damsel wanting it but only with a baked in get-out clause.

I do wonder if they’ve ever visited each-other’s places? Like does R know what his apartment looks like? Does T know hers? The implication of this really gets the neurons firing.

Your friend’s got to elaborate. Are we talking passionate, I want your baby inside me hell (would that be hell? Lol) or chaotic-paparazzi/tabloid bloggy hell?

1. Dramatic arguments? I can see that because yin and yang are opposites so sometimes they can bump heads until they find a balance or compromise to their situation.

2. Yes, R is Taurus. They seem to love familiarity and stability.

3. BB isn’t letting go anytime soon either. She’ll stay as long as T wants her.

4. Yeah I don’t think R and T would hang out in a restaurant alone, ya know? J would be there too. R and T was alone during filming and certain events but if it’s not job related, I can’t see J wanting her to be alone with him. Why BB doesn’t go with them is a better question. Why is T always alone with R and J?

R always likes different tweets but I agree. Liking tweets about codependent friendships is eyebrow raising.

But I don’t get what you mean about BB? Can you clarify about “BB’s private acct making some airy literature quote?” Are you on her acct lol?

5. Interesting body language analysis. Which red carpet? From the below photo? If so, then yes, she was very flirty the entire time.

6. Since R has seen his motorcycle then yes, I’m sure she’s seen his apartment. T has visited her before so yes, he’s been in her apartment.

7. lol I’ll ask her!

hii!!! i’m going to watch the new hunger games with my boyfriend on the 17th cause my birthday is on the 16th, and i was wondering about your opinion on it??

personally, i’ve never read the books beside the ones based on katniss, but i see a lot of people hating on the choice of the actress for the lucy gray.

i think people are dramatizing everything about her and the snowwhite being single “issue”, yes it’s a little weird to basically say a woman has to be single to be independent, but you can tell her hearts in the right place, so why does everybody hate her???

and say what you want about her, but the girl can SING. like it’s actually crazy how pretty her voice is.

i really like the parallel of katniss singing to lucy’s singing, and the difference of two in general. i’ve seen this one quote that’s like “a hunter in a performance” regarding katniss and “a performer in a hunt” regarding lucy, and i love it so much?

i also love the new song from olivia rodrigo, it reminds me of rue (my sweet baby girl ☹️ i think of you everyday #theogmockingjay)

i feel my hunger games phase returning tenfold and i might cave in and buy the rest of the books and speedrun it before the movie tbh LMAO

sorry this is so long but i wanted to see what you thought of it!! (the actor of snow has no reason being that attractive. why would they make such a problematic person So hot???? everytime 😢)

omg im going to see tbosas on the 16th too🤭

Personally, i absolutely LOVE the book. It's my favorite out of all the books if im completely honest. I know a lot of people are worried that it "humanizes" Snow, but it genuinely doesn't. It shows you that he had several opportunities throughout his life to do the right thing and be a decent person, but every time he chose whatever benefited himself. It's truly very interesting to watch him go from academy student Coryo to future president of Panem Snow. I really recommend reading it if you haven't or aren't sure about it🫶

Everyone that I've talked who has seen the movie so far has said it really is great and does the book justice even if it obviously had to cut some things.

As for all the Rachel Zegler hate (Lucy Grays actress), i honestly think it's absolutely stupid. Most of the comments that people bitch about are severely taken out if context or was very obviously just something she was told to say. I don't think Disney really understands that people are tired of the whole a woman has to be single to be independent thing. Like i get peoples frustration with her saying that but I know Rachel doesnt think like that it was just something she was told would help promote the movie. Most of the hate towards her is just rooted is misogyny, so i normally ignore it.

Anyways! Everyone says she's a perfect Lucy Gray, and i fully believe it without even having to watch the movie. She's got an absolutely incredible voice, but she also just captures the spirit of Lucy Gray so well that i can't wait to see the movie.

I've been absolutely OBSESSED with Olivia's song. Im ngl i was a little worried when i heard rumors of her being on the sound track just because i was struggling to imagine what the song would sound like but she absolutely ate with Can't Catch Me Now. I think i listened to it like 87 times yesterday. im not even joking

I also fully support you falling head first into your hunger games phase again🤭. I've been stuck in mine since march, and I'll gladly bring anyone down with me lmao. I know the remastered audiobooks are on YouTube if you really don't want to buy all the books again. So if you want the links, let me know! (i bought them all earlier this year, and Tatiana Maslany (shes also f!ashs voiceclaim hehe) did an incredible job narrating them🫶)

#thanks anon! #this is so long oh god #also yes coryos actor is very hot lmao #you shouldve seen toms outfit last night at the premiere #i actually let out a gasp when he took his jacket off #emma rambles.

More Than There Are Clouds in the Sky

Relationship: Bucky Barnes/OC!Rachel Barnes

Rating: General Audiences

Summary: On Valentine’s Day, Rachel has a surprise for Bucky.

Words: 1,203

The Barnes Masterlist || Bucky Barnes Masterlist

1940

Bucky and Rachel lay on the grass in Prospect Park, cloud gazing. Between Bucky picking up extra shifts at the factory and Rachel landing a secretary job, they didn’t get to see each other as much as they wanted. Not to mention the constant fear that Bucky could be drafted any day. They took advantage of any time they could spend together.

“Doesn’t that one look like a stroller?” Rachel asked, pointing at a cloud.

“A baby stroller?” Bucky questioned, scoffing. “No. It does not.”

“Look. There’s the top and- it’s just missing the wheels.”

“I don’t see it.” He told her. Rachel sighed, folding her hands on her stomach.

“How many kids do you want?” She asked.

“What are you asking me for?” He asked.

“Don’t you want to get married and have a family?” She asked, rolling onto her side to look at him.

“Of course, I want a family of my own.” He looked at her. “Of our own, maybe.”

“I would hope so. It would be mighty awkward to have strung me along for the last two years with no intention of marrying me.” She teased.

“I’ll marry you and we’ll have five kids.”

“Five?” She asked.

“How many do you want to have?” He asked.

“I’d be happy with just two. You want five children?”

“Okay, we can talk about it. I just figured- I came from a brood of four. It might be nice.”

“I am not your mother. She is a saint to raise four children. You want me to raise five?”

“There is plenty of time to discuss it, right?” He asked.

“I guess.” She laughed, resting her head on his chest. “Five?”

“You’re not going to let me move past that, are you?” He asked.

“Never. What would we even name five kids?” She asked.

“James Jr. Emily, Winnifred, Robert and Alice.”

“I like James Jr. and Alice.” She told him. “We’d have to buy a house if you want that many kids.”

“Maybe get a dog.” He suggested.

“But first you have to marry me, Buck.”

“I will.” He kissed her. “I love you more than there are clouds in the sky.”

“I love you too.” She smiled.

“Come on, your lunch break is almost over.”

“Mr. Darmody be damned.”

“Don’t worry. When we get married you can quit your job.” He promised.

Valentine’s Day, 1947

Bucky had to work on Valentine’s Day, but he made sure to order flowers to be delivered to Rachel. He also left little love notes around the apartment for her  - and accidentally Steve - to find.

“Hey, I think this is for you.” Steve handed Rachel a folded piece of paper. “Found it in the bathroom this morning.

“It’s Bucky. He feels bad about working today.” She laughed. “Where are you headed out to?”

“Getting lunch with Peg.” He told her, his cheeks flushing red.

“When are you going to invite her over for dinner?” Rachel asked.

“You and Buck wouldn’t mind?” He asked.

“Of course not. Are you taking her out tonight?”

“Yeah! She’s never been to Coney Island. I’m taking her after she gets off work.”

“Have fun.” She smiled. “I’m guess you won’t be home for dinner.”

“I don’t plan on coming home at all tonight.” He admitted. Rachel tried fighting a smirk. “Not like that! I-” His whole face was turning red. “I figured you and Buck would want the apartment to yourselves tonight. I’m staying with George and Winnifred.”

“I appreciate that, Steve. And I know Bucky will to. Have fun. Tell Peggy I say hello.”

“Will do. Have a good day, Rach.” Steve left the apartment. Rachel opened the note, to find Bucky’s rushed handwriting as she suspected.

Day by day I’m falling more in love with you

And day by day my love seems to grow

There isn’t any end to my devotion

It’s deeper dear by far than any ocean

Next to the words was a drawn heart pierced with an arrow. Bucky had taken the words straight from a song. Rachel didn’t mind it. It was the fourth note she’d found and she loved every single one of them, as cheesy as they seemed.

As soon as Rachel heard the familiar sound of Bucky’s boots walking down the hallway, she left the kitchen to start the record player. “My Blue Heaven” by Gene Austin filled the apartment as she made her way back to the kitchen. Bucky walked into the apartment, a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates tucked under his arm. On the dining table sat a red card and the bouquet of flowers that he’d ordered to be delivered earlier, already in a vase.

“Rach? I’m home.” He announced, placing the box of chocolates on the tale.

“Hi.” She exited the kitchen to greet him. “How was work?” She asked.

“Nothing new to complain about. You like the flowers?”

“I love them. Thank you.”

“Happy Valentine’s Day. These are for you too.”

“More flowers?” She asked, taking the roses.

“Should I take them back?” He teased.

“No. They’re beautiful. Thank you.” She kissed him. “I have something to tell you.”

“I hope it’s good news.” He replied. “How was your day?”

“I-” She picked up the card from the table. “-had an appointment with Dr. Mueller.”

“Dr. Mueller? Is everything okay? Are you feeling alright?” He touched her forehead, making her laugh. “You didn’t say anything about an appointment this morning.”

“This is for you.”

“Thank you, but are you alright?” He asked.

“I am healthy. Read the card.”

“You had me worried for a second.” He looked at the front of the card. An image of a teapot with the words: I’ll blow my top for you. “Cute.”

“Open it.”

“I’m enjoying my card.” He laughed. “What? Did you write a dirty joke inside?” He asked, opening it.

To My Bucky,

You’ve made me the happiest woman in the world. I love you more than there are clouds in the sky. I can’t wait to see how we do as parents. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Sincerely,

Me and Baby

“You read slow.” She teased, as his eyes lifted from the card to her.

“Are you serious?” He asked. “We’re having a baby?”

“We’re having a baby!” She replied. He embraced her. “I love you, but I’ve got something in the oven.” She told him.

“I’m just so happy.” He told her, letting her go.

“So am I! I had to talk myself out of going to the factory to tell you as soon as I found out. I’ve just been stewing with this news for the last three hours.”

“A baby. Wow.”

“We’re gonna have to get out of this apartment. Get a house. We don’t need a dog. We’ve got Alpine.”

“Yeah.” He leaned on the doorframe to the kitchen. “Should I let Steve know dinner’s almost ready?”

“He isn’t here. He’s leaving us alone for the night.” She told him. “He’s taking Peggy to Coney Island tonight.”

“Oh. Good for him, then.”

“Go wash up for dinner.”

“You don’t have to tell me twice.” He stole a kiss before walking to the bathroom. Rachel let out a sigh. She couldn’t be happier.

First Day of School

It’s time for Faith’s first day of preschool. Mulder is having some worries, but Scully hopes to calm them, while also having some of her own.

Hard to believe I’ve been writing this little family series for four years now. I never would have guessed it would have happened, but I absolutely love it. It’s my favorite by far and always leaves me happy and smiling as I write.

I hope you enjoy this next little look into their lives. ❤️

#52 in The Family Life Series

September 12, 2022

Scully took a deep breath and closed her eyes, the scent of the preschool classroom achingly familiar. Thoughts of classes, questions asked, books read and lessons learned filled her head and she smiled. 

How do all schools smell the same? she wondered. It has to be a cleaning chemical or something. Like the new car smell, schools have something that’s similar. 

“Mommy,” Faith said and Scully opened her eyes and looked down. 

“Yes, love?” 

“Can I play with the kitchen?” She pointed across the room and Scully nodded with a smile. 

“Anything you want, honey. Go and play.” 

Faith grinned and hurried over to the kitchen area where two other children were already playing. Scully sighed happily as she watched her and then she heard a louder sigh beside her, one that was not so happy. She turned and looked at Mulder, his shoulders drooping as he watched Faith. 

“Hey,” she said softly and he looked at her with sad eyes. She exhaled a quiet laugh and reached for his hand. “It’s just a few hours.”

“Twice a week,” he said, his voice low. She smiled and squeezed his fingers as he sighed again. “What am I supposed to do while she’s here?” 

“Mulder,” she said, laughing slightly louder this time, and letting go of his hand to wrap her arm around his waist and give him a quick hug. “You’re going to be just fine.” 

“Disagree,” he mumbled as she stepped back, smiling at him before looking back at Faith. 

A little boy was handing her a plate of wooden food and she laughed as she pretended to take a bite and then gave the plate back to him. He smiled at her and she picked up the empty coffee pot and poured it into a cup, taking a big pretend drink and then saying “ahhhh” as she set the cup down. 

“This is good for her,” Scully said quietly and he growled softly. 

“I know it is. And I know she needs to go to school. But, I’ll miss her so much.” 

“So will I,” she said and she saw him shake his head out of the corner of her eye. 

“It’s not the same,” he whispered and she stared at him, her eyes wide.  

“How do you-”

“Hello, hello!” the principal called, clapping her hands to get everyone’s attention and pausing their conversation. She was an older woman with caramel colored skin, silver gray hair in long braids wrapped up in an elaborate bun, a wide, happy smile, and kind brown eyes. “Welcome everyone to the first day of school! We’re so happy to have you here.” 

The teachers clapped as they stood beside the principal and the parents clapped too, Mulder doing so with a heavy sigh. 

“I’m Mrs. Cohver, and you’ve met the teachers: Mrs. Tanner, Miss Esma, Miss Cole, and Miss Rogers. They will all be sharing this room, the children at different quadrants with their assigned teacher. Today is an informal time to get to know the classroom as well as the teacher. Normally by now, we would have the children here on the rainbow circle rug for check-in and the welcome song, but today we’re keeping it more lax.” 

Scully nodded and smiled at Faith’s teacher, Miss Cole, who beamed back at her. They had met her last week when they came to show Faith around and view the classroom. She was incredibly kind and Faith had taken to her right away, asking lots of questions as she looked around and telling her about her dog and cat at home and Jacob and Liz Beth, her twins. Miss Cole had raised curious eyes to Scully and Mulder, who then explained about Skinner, Rachel, and the twins. 

“Raycho had two babies,” Faith had said, holding up two fingers. “I love them so much.” 

“I’m sure you do,” Miss Cole had said. “Babies are wonderful, aren’t they?” 

“Yes. They are,” Faith had said matter-of-factly as she picked up an old telephone and began to play with it. 

It had been a good first meeting and Faith had talked of nothing but the classroom and the fun she’d had for the rest of the day. 

“So,” Mrs. Cohver continued. “For the first half hour, parents are welcome to stay and then after that, there is a luncheon set up near the multipurpose room. You are all encouraged to eat and stick around as the first day can be a little daunting to some, especially after their grown up leaves.” 

“God,” Mulder breathed and Scully took his hand in hers, giving it a gentle squeeze. 

“We will be beginning our day now, if you wish to stay, please be mostly silent observers, unless your child is in dire need of assistance. Thank you and welcome to the first day of preschool.” 

Everyone clapped again, Scully letting go of Mulder’s hand to do so. The teachers began to round up the children and then they all sat on the large rug according to class. Faith glanced around and smiled at Mulder and Scully, giving them a wave before turning back to Mrs. Cohver, who was welcoming them to school. 

“Oh,” Scully said softly, a catch in her chest causing her to turn around and take a second to stop the tears suddenly stinging her eyes. 

The kids echoed back what Mrs. Cohver had said, as Scully distracted herself by looking at the laminated pictures of the alphabet on the wall. 

A is for anteater 

B is for baby

C is for color 

D is for dream 

“You okay?” Mulder whispered, his hand on her back. She nodded, not able to speak at the moment. “No, you’re not. This sucks.” 

At that, she laughed quietly and nodded, wiping at her eyes. 

“It’s necessary.” 

“Doesn’t make it hurt less.” 

“Mulder…” she said, looking at him and then back at Faith who sat in rapt attention as a story was being read. “Look at her.” 

He looked back too as she smiled broadly and nodded her head, pointing her finger at the book. 

“We did that,” Scully whispered. “Made her the person she is by loving her and taking care of her. She’s-”

“Stop,” he whispered back, shaking his head. “I’m barely holding it together as it is and that’s not helping.” 

“Oh, honey.” She clasped his hand and they both sighed as they watched Faith laughing and looking at the other children around her. 

She took a second look when she seemed to realize they were still there and waved to them again. 

“It’s a story about a butterfly and a spider,” she called to them. “I like it.” 

“Good,” Mulder called back as the adults in the room chuckled softly and he squeezed Scully’s hand. Faith smiled and looked back at the book. 

A few minutes more, and they said goodbye as Mrs. Cohver told the children their parents would be outside for a little while. Faith hugged them both and then ran back to the activity table already laid with paper and paint that would be used. She sat down and reached for a paintbrush, dipping it into the light blue paint and placing it on the paper. 

“Come on,” Scully said, pulling gently at Mulder’s hand. He sighed with a nod and they walked out of the classroom and into the warm early afternoon sunshine. 

The door closed behind the group of parents and they all looked at one another, one of the mothers pointing to the luncheon that had been set up under canopies near the multipurpose room. Everyone started walking toward it, talking to each other, but Mulder lingered at the door. 

“Mulder?” Scully asked with a soft smile. 

“Just a couple of minutes,” he said, his eyes on the ground and hands in his jeans pockets. “Just in case.” 

“Okay, hon,” she said, nodding in understanding. 

“What if…” He sighed and looked at the door before looking at Scully. “I just want to stay close for a few minutes. I don’t want her to wait if she needs us.” 

“Mulder,” Scully said, stepping closer to him, and wrapping her arms around his waist. She exhaled and then inhaled, closing her eyes as he put his arms around her. 

“It’s such a big change,” he whispered and she nodded against his chest. “I know it’s been coming, but now that it’s here, I don’t want it to be.” 

“I know,” she whispered back and he sighed heavily. 

“She’s just a baby.” 

“She’s almost four,” she reminded him and he grunted. 

“I know, but she’s also a baby. My baby. God, I hate this,” he said and she smiled, holding him tighter.  

The door opened and laughter and excited voices could be heard. Scully pulled back and looked at Mrs. Cohver as she walked out and shut the door behind her. 

“Hello! Everything okay?” she asked, tilting her head and smiling kindly at them. 

“Yes. We’re good,” Scully said with a smile. 

“First day jitters? All the parents get them,” she said with a wink. “You’re… Faith’s parents, right?” 

“Yeah. Is she okay?” Mulder asked, concern in his voice, and Mrs. Cohver laughed softly. 

“She’s absolutely wonderful. She actually just had the teachers and students asking lots of questions as she told them about the fairies around her house. She said you have one named Sparkly Blue Iris, with blue wings and long golden brown hair? Who comes to visit and leaves her little gifts, like an acorn and a rock she now has in her bedroom?” 

“Oh… yeah,” Mulder said, glancing at Scully who smiled with a nod. “We saw some fireflies out in the yard a few weeks ago and I told her they were fairies flitting around and preparing the world for the next day. It became a discussion about where they live, what they do, and the different types of fairies. We built a couple of small houses to give them a chance to rest after they’ve worked so hard and decorated them to look inviting to a fairy. We left some treats for them: a shiny button, a piece of pink ribbon she really likes, and a very tiny picture of Faith so they know who she is and that she’s a kind person. The fairies then reciprocated, leaving gifts for her, like the ones you’ve mentioned.” 

Mrs. Cohver grinned and nodded, clasping her hands together. 

“I can’t tell you how happy that makes me,” she said, with a sigh. “Children need that sense of wonder, even if later they may be disappointed that it’s not true. Building the imagination is detrimental to helping them grow into adulthood. It lets them believe anything is possible and that anything can be accomplished.” 

“I couldn’t agree with you more,” Mulder said and Scully saw how her words seemed to calm his worries. She smiled and grasped his fingers loosely. 

“My husband has a very active imagination and love of the fantastic there is in the world.” 

“Then I’d say Faith is in great hands,” Mrs. Cohver said, smiling at them and touching Mulder’s upper arm. “Will you be joining us for the luncheon?” 

“Yes. We were taking a moment, just in case,” Scully said, glancing at the door. 

“I completely understand. The first few days are always toughest, but it gets easier, I promise. She’s in for a fun and exciting year with the teachers and the students.” 

“We know,” Scully said, smiling at Mulder as he nodded in agreement, sighing softly. 

“Good. I need to stop in the office and then I’ll be over to join everyone, to answer any questions or assuage any concerns.” She smiled and her eyes crinkled at the corners. 

“Thank you,” Mulder said and Scully squeezed his fingers. 

“See you soon,” Mrs. Cohver said with a nod and walked toward the office. 

“You good now?” Scully asked Mulder and he nodded with a last glance at the door. 

“She’s talking about the fairies,” he said, interlocking their fingers. “She’s okay.” 

“She is indeed,” Scully said, smiling at him. 

“Let’s go get something to eat, or at least some coffee.” 

“Hmm, a good idea,” she agreed, squeezing his hand and starting toward the other parents. 

She smiled as she thought of how excited Faith had been since last week, counting down the days until she got to come back to school. She had picked out a new backpack that came with a matching lunch bag. It was sky blue with purple straps and had a happy faced rainbow with white clouds at the bottom of it. A purple water bottle with smaller rainbows and clouds had come  with it and she absolutely loved it. 

She had picked out a special outfit: laying it out on her bedroom floor and telling them every night why she wanted to wear it and how she wanted her hair brushed. 

They had all gone to the library and checked out a few books on the first day of school. Faith had asked to hear them every night, telling them how her school had toys like the ones in the book, and a place for her backpack to hang up. 

Mulder had told her how much fun it would be, about the friends she would make, and things she would do. She had been beyond excited, smiling and asking to hear it all again, and he had obliged her. 

“I know I’ve been talking up the whole experience for her,” he said, as if reading her thoughts and she smiled. “I want her to enjoy being here, but I also don’t want her to be here at all. Not yet.” 

“I know you don’t.” 

“There’s a big but waiting to be said, I can sense it,” he said, squeezing her hand and she laughed. 

“You already know what I’m going to say,” she told him. “We’ve gone over it a few times.” 

“Yeah,” he said with a sigh. “I’ll get used to it. I just need a little time.” 

“Unlike me,” she said, looking at him out of the corner of her eye. 

“What do you mean?” he asked, turning his head and frowning at her. 

“Inside you said that me missing her was not the same as you missing her,” she said. 

“I did?” 

“You very much did,” she said, trying not to smile as his frown deepened. 

“I don’t… don’t remember saying that.” 

“Not out loud, anyway,” she mumbled and he stopped her, turning to stare at her fully. 

“I don’t remember saying that, or implying that you wouldn’t miss her in the same way I would. I’m sorry, Scully.” 

“Oh, Mulder,” she said, cupping his cheek and smiling. “I know it’s going to be hard, a lot is changing. She’ll be in school and I’m going to be back at the hospital part time in November. Things are going to be different and I know it will take some adjustment.” 

“Hmm,” he hummed, closing his eyes briefly and leaning into her hand.

“Change is good when done for the right reasons.” 

“Yeah. I’ll need to find something to fill my empty hours.” 

“Oh! Well, if you’re looking for ideas, I’ve got a document on my computer with at least fifteen things that need attention. The shed could be cleaned out and reorganized, the basement too. The porch needs-”

“Okay okay,” he said with a laugh, pulling back from her hand and shaking his head. “I’m not sure I’m that desperate yet.” She smiled and he bent to kiss her softly. 

“A couple of weeks and it will start to feel normal,” she whispered and he nodded, kissing her once more. 

“Okay. Enough of my moping,” he said, giving his body a shake as though to reset it. “I don’t want her feeling anything but happy and excited. Let’s go mingle, you know how I love doing that.” 

She laughed as his hand found its spot on the small of her back and they joined the other parents. 

Over coffee and food, they got to know the parents of the children in Faith’s class. Some of them were older, with other children at school, and some were younger, experiencing it all for the first time. They were all excited for their children to be moving onto a new chapter in their lives, but emotional at the same time. 

Mrs. Cohver joined them, as promised, and answered questions and concerns, reassuring them all once again. Scully watched her and felt greater respect for her at the patience and attention she gave to each parent. No matter the question, she was kind and informative, and Scully knew they had made the right decision with the preschool. 

They heard the children as they came onto the playground near where they were gathered. Scully caught sight of Faith who paid them absolutely no attention as she climbed onto the play structure and went down the slide before running away and laughing. Scully felt a bittersweet heaviness in her chest and she exhaled, hoping to let it go. 

“In fifteen minutes, when recess has ended, the children will go back into the classroom. They will clean up any mess that has been made and then they will gather on the rainbow rug,” Mrs. Cohver said. “At that time, we will open the door and you’re welcome to come back in and join us as we say goodbye. Thank you all for being here and sharing your children with us. I know they will have a wonderful year learning and exploring the world around them.” 

Choruses of thanks went up as Mrs. Cohver said goodbye and left the group. Mulder raised his eyebrows at Scully and she smiled.

“Did you see her?” he asked and she nodded. “She looked like she was acclimating well.” 

“She did.” 

“Good,” he breathed and she nodded again. “I’m gonna grab a couple of those cookies for her. Watch my six.” 

He turned around quickly and she laughed as she watched him stealthily grab two chocolate chip cookies, quickly wrap them in a napkin, and walk back to her with a wink. 

“I don’t think you need to be so sneaky, I think half the parents did the same thing.” 

“Shh,” he warned and put them into the bag she carried. 

“Oh, so now I’m an accomplice?” she asked with a chuckle. 

“For better or worse, honey,” he said, winking again. 

“Thievery definitely being the worse of it,” she stated and he put his finger to his lips as he smiled. 

When the children had gone inside, the parents walked back to the classroom and waited at the door. Scully took Mulder’s hand again, the connection feeling lighter this time knowing Faith had undoubtedly had a good day. He squeezed her hand and nodded, silently telling her everything was okay. 

The door opened a few minutes later and Mrs. Cohver smiled as she welcomed them inside. 

All of the children were on the rug, their teachers sitting with them as they chattered excitedly. Faith spotted them and waved, grinning from ear to ear as she bounced on her knees. 

“Daddy! Mommy! I had so much fun!” she said to them as other children greeted their parents. 

“Wonderful, love,” Scully said, smiling back at Faith. 

“Welcome back, parents,” Mrs. Cohver said. “At this time next meeting, the children will have already done this, but we wanted to include you in it today. It’s the goodbye song we sing at the end of each day, a signal that the time we shared together has come to an end. It has been a pleasure meeting all of you today. Please remember to get your child’s items from their cubbies and we will see you on the next day of school.” She clapped and everyone joined in, the kids cheering and laughing. 

The goodbye song was sung, the teachers having special hand motions which the children attempted to mimic and would have learned soon. When the day was announced over, parents walked forward to collect their children and Faith ran to Mulder, hugging his legs and smiling up at him. 

“Daddy! I went on the slide. It was like this.” She let go of him and stepped back, making a whooshing noise and moving her hand down and around her as she spun in a circle. “It was fun.” 

“That fast, huh? It sounds like it was fun,” he agreed, grinning as he watched her. 

“Yup!” She nodded, smiling happily, and Mulder picked her up to give her a squeeze. 

“I’m happy you had a good time, honey. Let’s get your stuff and we’ll head home, okay?” 

“Okay!” 

He set her down and she ran to her cubby to get her things plus some assorted papers that had been placed inside of it. Arms full, she came back to them, Scully helping her to sort it all and put it into its proper place. 

“Wait, that’s for Daddy,” Faith said, taking one of the papers from Scully. “Here, Daddy. I made this for you.” She handed it to him and he smiled as he took it. 

“Oh wow, this is beautiful. Wait… hang on. Is this Iris?” 

“Yes!” Faith said, clapping her hands and smiling. “See her blue sparkly wings, Daddy?”  

“I do indeed, my love. She’s perfect. You did a great job painting her.” 

“Could I see?” Scully asked and Mulder handed her the painting. 

It was a nearly perfect triangle shape painted dark blue with lighter blue triangles coming from her sides, large black round head with two black dots and a big smile that filled up most of the space, stick arms with three fingers each, and brown hair coming from the head and down to the bottom of the dress. 

“Wow,” Scully said, nodding her head. “This is a beautiful painting.” 

“Thank you, Mommy,” Faith said, beaming as she looked up at Scully. 

They said goodbye to Miss Cole and Mrs. Cohver, thanking them for a wonderful first day. 

Holding hands with both of them, Faith told them about her day and how much fun she had. Scully smiled and watched Mulder nodding, his shoulders relaxing with each positive word Faith had to say. He caught her eye and gave her a wink. 

Buckled in her car seat and ready to leave, Mulder asked for the surprise Scully had in her bag. She smiled as she took out the napkin wrapped cookies and watched Faith’s eyes light up when Mulder handed one to her. 

She was nearly asleep when they pulled up the house, her head falling forward many times before she leaned it against the side of her car seat. 

She said a sleepy hello to Bella as Mulder carried her inside and up to her room. Scully brought in the bags and school papers, Bella whining softly at the bottom of the stairs, but not venturing further. 

“I know, Bells,” Scully said, walking over to pet her after she set the items onto the table. “She’s a little tired today, it’s been an exciting one for her and she needs a little nap. She’ll be down soon and will tell you all about it.” Bella’s tail thumped gently against the wall as she licked and nudged at Scully’s hand. “You’re a good girl, Bella.” 

She rubbed her ears and patted her head, speaking quietly, before stepping back when she heard Mulder closing Faith’s bedroom door and starting down the stairs. 

He bent and rubbed Bella’s ears when he reached the bottom, saying hello to her as her tail continued to wag. He smiled and stood up straight as he glanced at Scully and then beyond her to the stuff on the table. 

Giving her arm a light squeeze, she watched him walk over and pick up Faith’s painting of Iris. Smiling at it, he turned back to her and she smiled back. 

“I’m going to add her name and date on the back and then I want to run something past you.” 

“Okay…” she said, her curiosity piqued. 

“Be right back,” he said, walking into his office. 

Her mind was racing as she wondered what he could possibly want to discuss when he came back out and stood beside her. 

“This is the first,” he said, indicating the painting. “The first of years of crafts and art that she’ll be bringing home from school or wherever she is when creativity strikes.” 

“Okay…” 

“So I was thinking, we should have a dedicated space for said art. A mini gallery, so to speak.” 

“Where exactly did you have in mind?” she asked with a smile. 

“Here,” he said, pointing to the wall space against the stairs with the short table in front of it and the adjacent corner, which still housed stacked trunks and a bookcase.  

“Oh…” 

“I know the things hanging on the bulletin boards were more of a hindrance than anything else, but this will be different. A happy collection, rather than one of conspiracy theories and unanswered questions.” 

“I love that idea,” she whispered. 

“Yeah?” 

“Yeah.” 

“Great,” he said with a smile. “So, you up for doing some redecorating while she sleeps?” 

She looked around at what they would need to do in order to accomplish the task before Faith woke up and she nodded with a smile. 

“Great,” he said again, putting the painting on the dining room table. “I’ll go get some of the boxes from the garage that we seem to have been collecting recently. We can sort through what we want to keep and what can be placed somewhere else in the house.” 

“Okay,” she said, already imagining how it would look with Faith’s creations filling the space. Maybe it could do with a new rug too. And a bean bag chair or something similar where she could sit and look at what she made. 

“Get ready to roll up your sleeves, woman,” he said, taking her hand and spinning her quickly before pulling her close as she laughed in surprise. “Because we’ve got some work to do.” 

“Get the boxes. I’m ready.” 

He kissed her, called to Bella to come with him, and whistled as he walked out the back door heading to the garage. 

Yes, she thought, looking back at the jumbled and relatively unused corner. She pictured Faith’s excitement when she saw it had been a space created especially for her, and she smiled. It’s a perfect idea.

[crystalelemental]

Now it's time for the opposite, my least favorite sync pairs.  I tend to stay pretty positive with this game, and think it does an amazing job. But there are certain sync pairs that I look at and think "Ugh, why?"   Usually, these are seasonals, or picks that I think are a bit lame in comparison to other options they had.  But sometimes it's the costume.   I'm not as super negative about this game, and again, most of their picks are solid, so we'll keep this to maybe 15.  I don't think I could go beyond that without feeling bad.

15) Winter Siebold.  There is nothing intrinsically wrong with Winter Siebold.  I just feel like they didn't try.  This is a common complaint for Winter alts, apparently, but I just feel like it's too similar to his regular design.  Also, why Octillery?  This was such a weird alt to be one of the first in the game.

14) Halloween Acerola.  Another small complaint; I don't like the outfit.  I think it looks dopey.  I think it's just the hood seems to big to me, and it just looks off. And it's a shame Mimikyu got an alt that seems...really bad, honestly.

13) SS Cynthia.  I absolutely hate that it's a crop top for no reason.  That doesn't look good, and it doesn't seem like something Cynthia, specifically, would wear. It's an extra shame because honestly, the general aesthetic looks great, and if it weren't for that, this would be a favorite.  I mean, Kommo-o's not a favorite, but I can be flexible, you know?

12) SS Leon.  "But his himbo outfit!"  I know, I don't think it looks good.  I'm sorry. Raihan is right.  He's a way better dresser and he knows it.

11) Summer Marnie.  I could probably combine this and the next one, but as a general rule, I dislike anything swimsuit focused.  Not a fan.  I think the prior year's Summer alts were ideal, and this was a massive step down.  Also I don’t respect Grimmsnarl.

10) Summer Gloria.  Same as above, but Gloria's a little worse to me solely because Intelleon.  This thing bugs me so much.

9) NY!Volkner.  This is the last of the strictly "don't like the look" options that comprise the bottom picks.  His outfit looks caveman-like, and I don't think it fits that well.

8) Allister.  Why...did it have to be Gengar?  Did we need another Gengar? Really?  Bea took Sirfetch'd instead of another Machamp, why couldn't you do something interesting like take Cursola?  It's just a boring and lame pick.

7) Falkner.  Why is it Swellow?  I know, it wasn't going to be Pidgeot, but like...Noctowl.  This is a bulky supporter that can buff offenses and crit, and has a good flinch rate with Fly.  Just make it Noctowl!  Do you know what I would give for my baby Noctowl to be good at something?  It's such a cool regional bird and you threw it aside for Swellow to perform a role it doesn't remotely fill under normal circumstances!  Come on!  *sigh*  Maybe a cool Halloween alt some day...

6) Palentine's Bea.  Her outfit is actually somewhat cute, but I'm gonna say that my big problem is the pick of partner.  Vanilluxe is cool, and it should've gone to a PokeStar Studios alt for Rosa.  Instead, it's here.  With Bea.  And Vanilluxe is absolutely not popular enough to be used on two different limited pairs.  It's certainly no Charizard, and apparently no Gengar either.  So there hope lies, dead in a Hail-exclusive support that I don't like that much.

5) SS Misty.  *cracks knuckles* Now let's get salty.  SS Misty, by design, is already not my favorite.  I don't like anything midriff exposing as an aesthetic, but moreover it bothers me how they keep referring to her as a tomboyish mermaid and that this costume is reflective of that, when it's the girliest outfit she’s ever worn. Moreover, Vaporeon.  This is the first of "I don't like the pick."  There were alternatives.  You had options, and you took Vaporeon.  And I don't really agree with it.  The lucky aspect is there's not another Water-type trainer I'd be clamoring to get Vaporeon, and this does leave Flareon at least open for a potential Leaf alt.  But I don't really love the pick.

4) Rachel.  Rachel's outfit is stupid, and I'm legitimately mad this is the scoutable Umbreon.  I guess there's BP Karen, but Double Edge really isn't the play I'd want for it either.  We get two Umbreon, somehow, and they're both kinda meh. That stings, PoMa.  That really stings.

3) Spring Burgh.  His outfit is an affront to the eyes of the Lord.  It bothers me so much.  Moreover, I don't know why he had to get Togepi.  I guess egg theme, but like...I dunno.  I really like Togetic, I'm glad it didn't go to him, but it's a bit disheartening that we have a Togepi and Togekiss, but no Togetic.

2) Lucas.  I cannot believe they gave him Dialga.  It should've been Bidoof.   That, at least, would've been his fans getting something, and me having a good time of it too.  But no, my favorite of the celestial dragons, going to Lucas.  And the worst part is, no matter how irrelevant he is, this spawned a ton of people arguing that if he got the legend, obviously he did the main story, so he's the "real" protagonist over Dawn.  Nevermind he's showing up over a year late compared to her, and continues to not have any story focus, even in the villain arc, where he does the barest minimum.  I don't like Lucas, and this being the Dragon Zone alt with Dialga really, really sucks.  But hey, could be worse!

1) Palentine's Marnie.  It could be the congregation of every negative possibility at once!  Dialga's a legend; there can always be a shiny later.  But you look me in the eye and tell me Mawile stands a chance of being in twice, or that the other will get Mega Evolution too.  I can't even ignore it; it's Steel Wish, so necessary.  And this was supposed to be Valerie's Pokemon.  Valerie has nothing left.  Terrible base abilities, terrible grid, and the ideal partner for an alt taken.  And to give it to Marnie, of all people. I don't like Marnie.  She is a boring rival character, whose sad town and “discarded by society” team was done way better with Guzma, Plumeria, and Team Skull.  She's not challenging, she doesn't really have much personality, and unlike her brother, she doesn't really stand for anything either. This bland rival character got a third alt in the span of a year, took the ideal partner from my favorite Kalos gym leader, and pushed it into Steel type.  I hate it.  I don't even generally mind Marnie's popularity, or her getting a third alt, but this one legitimately stings.  Nothing this game has done bothered me quite like this.  Maybe Valerie’s grid.  Maybe.  That was just uncalled for.

Mermaids (1990)

Smoking: Cone

 

Hi All! It’s been a minute since I’ve done one of these. I was visiting one of my really good friends and we got to talking about it and she made me excited to do it all over again, so I’m back! Hopefully this time I stick to it 😂

I know I said I would never do a review on a movie again that I haven’t seen, but I can’t help it. I really want to watch it and I have my opportunity for my Reefer Reelz and Reviews. Also, have a kitten intently watching me type, so this should be interesting lol!

Opening scene, swim race. Something I did in my youth! So can already relate to the movie, which is nice. I will say I could do without hearing that breath so clearly as she resurfaces. Look at that baby Christina Ricci!! So little 🥹

Once again, I can relate to this movie, well in theory anyway. Cher moves cross county after a break up and I almost did once. I’m in Texas and I almost moved to San Diego California after a break up. Too small of a town and I didn’t want to see him, settled for going to college further south still in Texas.

Now the kitten is trying to chew on the laptop. Oh boy.

We follow a young Winona Ryder as she goes to look at the convent near her new home. She’s obsessed with becoming a nun when her family is Jewish. Most likely from seeing her mother go through men never finding happiness. She walks through this BEAUTIFUL arch way. I just wanna go to this convent, it looks so peaceful and stunning. She runs into the guys she’s falling in love with and stalks him for a minute before he notices her.

WR’s crush is driving the school bus. Cher, her mom gives her a hard time “Why Charlotte I do believe you’re blushing.” WR is sitting all the way in the back of the bus on the way to school, then on the way back he starts to talk to her. Then she basically makes a date with him. Keep in mind he is 26 and she’s still in high school.

In this new town Cher has met the wonderful Bob Hoskins and it seems like she might be getting in her new relationship. I think this one might work out for her. He seems like a sweet enough guy. At least for right now. They have a cute interaction at parent teacher night.

Enter CR with a pumpkin on her head walking around growling, falls on the floor after growling Rachel 😂

How creepy would it be if you were like trying to be super religious and wanting to become a nun, and the first man you fell for and kissed you were being stared at by these statues of disciples. Like creeeeeepy. Now she thinks she’s the next Virgin Mary and had like a mental break and drove her mom’s car till out of gas to this family’s house and just like inviting herself in.

Snack time. Left over goulash, biscuits and an oreo cupcake 🤤

All she did was kiss the guy, and she went to a doctor to see if she’s pregnant.

Oh boy.. Cher is pushing BH away and then goes and kisses the guy that WR is in love with. Gets caught by WR and turns into a whole thing.

Starting to have a bad feeling about what’s coming next. Underage drinking and heights. Not a good mix, or the fact that there’s a lake and the youngest likes to swim….

So as to not give away everything if you haven’t seen the movie, I will just leave it at that.

Plus, I got distracted with the rest of the movie to remember to type 😅

I really have no idea why this is called Mermaids, other than Cher dressing up as one for Halloween, and the youngest liking to swim.. I mean I guess, probably named movies over less connection. *shrug*

Hope you enjoyed this week’s review.

-RRR

Ashley, do I want to know what you found amusing before?

I understand her problem and it’s this

Nobody wants her man

And she kept thinking that I wanted her man because she’s projecting, and she’s extremely jealous of that Becky Cooper.

And she wants to be perceived as an intelligent person, but she does not have thoughts of her own. Just thoughts of racism and targeting Becky Cooper.

And other people with speech, impediments, right, Laurie

Lori

Lori, I hate to tell you guys, but you’re not going to cross that line either and your niece will never go to Hollywood because she probably cut a penis off of a little baby black boy

Anyway, thanks for harassing me at target

Did the psychiatrist tell you guys that you needed fucking help?

Well, you do need help

And I can’t help you I think that you have too little going on for yourself

And then they say, how can we make ourselves seem like somebody a woman would want?

Obviously you can’t give up your narcissism

But you’re in a real pickle because I don’t want Ashleys man and I don’t think that some of those guys want Ashley because Ashley dishonours herself, and Ashley dishonours me

You don’t even want love and just like he says in the poem you don’t want anybody else to either

So I guess in a small way, even a retard like yourself can get through a little bit

But I’m at the point now where I’m going to call a politician to have people like you killed

Brandy honey, everybody knows that you’re retarded

But clearly I pisses somebody off that you can’t touch

Probably because you are retarded and you also copied Nick until the very end

You did pay for that, but you don’t understand that yet because you’re almost retarded

Trust me sweetheart, it’s not exactly a secret

Awe

Awe

Awe

Adam, why is it? You could not snag Ashley in the first place honey

I just think we should all be very honest about it, considering I already know what I know

Saderholm

Why don’t you try the fuck again?

When you have a little bit more class

Bottom feeder trash

What Mark doesn’t want us to know is that his son does not have any options, because if I tell Nathan to have sex with his son, he will do just that

It’s like so important, or what ever Mark

Why didn’t you hear?

Why did you not use your mother fucking brain?

Because you don’t have one, just like your daughter does not have a brain just like your son does not have a brain just like your wife does not have a brain but all of you think that you are so brilliant and yet none of you will change the world

Rachel, why don’t you tell me since you think you’re so smart why is it you don’t have a future

Because you’re not me

Rachel, if you’re so intelligent, why do you live at home?

Why are you having sexual intercourse with your biological father?

What I asked you, Rachel was why you believe you should have my intellectual property based on your sick behaviour, trying to have sex with your father Mark Saderholm

Because everybody knows that Mark is genetically inferior

Everybody also knows that you and your brother and your disgusting fat mother are also genetically, inferior garbage

And no sweetheart, I don’t need your charity I actually have a brain

Awe hey Chelseea

Kelsie

I think that you are jealous of a lot of things you need help for

Kelsie Chelseea, whichever

Seek out help

But stop accusing me of being unbalanced. I think you need to deal with your own insecurities by going to college.

Hey! I’m just coming around to say i’ve just finished reading A Mother to Both and I loved it!

I don’t write near as good as you, so I am unable to put in words all the things I’ve loved about it without sounding too dumb but i’m gonna try

I’m gonna start just by saying i saw an evolution in the way Shelby handle crisis. Like, in the first work, she had both Quinn and Beth needing attention (when Quinn met her sister) and though she needed to get to Beth first since she is a baby, she could have explained that to Quinn so she didn’t feel rejected or anything (even if Quinn was in trouble that time)

However, this time around, when there was a crisis, and she had to handle Quinn and Rachel and her fathers at the same time as well, she managed to situate Quinn on what was happening, and why she had to go over to the Berry’s house, leaving Quinn at her grandfather’s. I thought that was a nice touch of Shelby recognizing one of Quinn worst fears, of being abandoned again, and even if Quinn is in trouble, or has to prioritize something else for the moment, this doesn’t mean she loves Quinn any less.

I also loved the parallel between the first and the last chapter with Rachel jumping on Quinn, and the hug between then showing something along the lines of ‘yes we are family’ and ‘yes, let’s try and be friends then’

Sorry for the rant lol. Stories about families always hit my soft spot (especially when they’re with characters I love so much). So thank you for continuing to publish stories on families for so long, I really appreciate it.

And while I was here, I was wondering, is there anything you cut from this story? Any scenes that didn’t make it, or something you changed it up?

Have a nice weekend!

Oh my goodness! Thank you. You have made my day! And I’m so sorry for the delay in replying, I was on vacation and no cell service.

I didn’t even think about the fact that Shelby has grown in her parenting. I was letting them do their thing and I did want Shelby to pick up on Quinn’s real reason for the behavior. But you’re absolutely right, she took the time here to explain to Quinn. She still slipped up a bit with poor Q thinking she was going to be spanked all day and then it never happened. It’s an ongoing learning curve for sure! 😅

And YES! I thought the parallel was hilarious. I didn’t actually plan for R to tackle Q again but it came up organically. I just wanted R to hug Q and to have that parallel gossip going through the school—Rachel Berry slushied Quinn Fabray/Rachel Berry was hugging Quinn Fabray.

I started writing the story originally with it being like 7 weeks after the first story ends (so mid-February in-story). But I couldn’t figure out how to get it moving. My wife actually suggested restarting and having it begin at the first day back to school. Then it evolved into what it became. And honestly I’m glad it did. I love the dramatic-ness of it. It’s so very Rachel.

I’ve got ideas for what I want to happen next. I want to show Rachel and Shelby’s first outing together (maybe a bit of Quinn jealousy at that—they’re both grounded and only Rachel is allowed to go out). I thought it would be sweet if S comes home from her day with Rachel and watches a movie with Quinn to give her something special. She wouldn’t let Q out of the house but this is something special that she gets her mama’s undivided attention for.

I want Quinn to come down with a cold or the flu. I’d really like for Rachel to be over and overhear Quinn being spanked. Of course no one knows she’s listening in. But then R will be jealous bc Shelby doesn’t parent her and lets her get away with everything. Meanwhile Q is jealous that R can do whatever she wants without repercussions.

My wife wants a story where Rachel gets snowed in at Shelby’s and S tells her she can sleep in Quinn’s room. Q will balk and be argumentative. Why does she get my room? There’s couches. Why do I have to give up my space? Shelby hushes her and says she’ll sleep with her, thinking her and R aren’t close enough yet, she doesn’t want to make R uncomfortable by saying sleep in my room with me. Q is used to it. R is then jealous that she’s not asked to stay with her mom.

I’ve had an idea too where Quinn takes the blame for something that Rachel has done and Shelby sends Q upstairs with a wooden spoon (whatever it is is something that Q has done before so S thinks it’s a repeat offense). Shelby will of course find out the truth afterwards and sits both girls down to explain to Rachel that had she confessed at the beginning, she would have faced a simple hand spanking. But bc she let Q take the fall, she’s going to get the exact same spanking that Quinn did. And Quinn learns that lying to mom only gets her into trouble.

first pet

Lucy sits on the couch with her laptop, signing up for yet another portal to chase her twenty-year-old students and warn them that they could be failing. As always, they want her to establish about a million stupid security questions. Unfortunately, she doesn’t even get the option to choose what her questions are. The system just gives them to her, like a present from a relative whose name you’re not even particularly sure of how to spell.

She turns the laptop around and shows it to Will, who’s sitting on the other end of the couch, pretending like he’s not actually watching New Moon on cable (except he is very obviously watching it, and he has very obviously seen it before). He turns his head away from the werewolves in the rain and looks at Lucy’s screen.

“Look at this question,” Lucy says. “They want to know the name of my first pet.”

“Yeah,” Will says. “That’s a pretty common one.”

“But isn’t it also pretty common for people to have never had pets?”

“I had a pet rock. His name was Peter. I didn’t name him, though. My mom did. She said I would get it when I was older, but I’m fifty-five and still just think it was a stupid name for a rock.”

“It means rock.”

“What?”

“Peter. The name. It roughly translates to rock. I’m surprised Colleen knew that.”

“Don’t underestimate how much Colleen loves biblical names. I’m surprised I don’t have a sister named Rahab.”

“Oh, that would have been cool. Would Rachel consider changing her name?”

“Nah. I think she likes it too much that she really married a guy named Jacob.”

Lucy nods.

“But I’m serious,” she says. “What am I going to put for my first pet when I was pet-less?”

“Bend the truth a little,” Will says. “You could say it was that goldfish we fed for Sophie when she was at science camp. What was that fish’s name again?”

“Liza. But I’m not going to be thinking about that if I ever get locked out of my account.”

“You never know.”

“Except I do know, Will. I know it a lot. I know that whenever I see this question, I’m going to think it’s stupid because I know I’m not alone in having never had a pet. When would I have even had the time to get one? I didn’t have a pet because I was too busy having a baby!”

Will gets very quiet, and Lucy knows exactly what he’s about to say.

“Oh, don’t you dare,” she says.

“What?” Will asks. “I was just going to say it might be funny if you put down Elenore.”

“I know that’s what you were going to say. I was begging you not to!”

“But it’s kind of funny! Most kids in high school are feeding their puppies, and we were feeding our baby daughter. Kind of like a pet!”

“Our daughter has never been a pet!”

“Well, not literally. But you gotta admit. It’s kind of a funny joke.”

“What if I told Elenore you said that? What if I called her up right now and told her that you thought of her as a pet? Do you think she would like that?”

“Honestly, Elenore has a pretty good sense of humor. I think she’d see what I was going for.”

Lucy sighs. She’s not sure what else to do, so she puts the computer down, claps both hands around Will’s cheeks, and kisses him like he’s not the world’s most obnoxious husband.

“You are maddening,” she says.

“I know,” Will says. “And you love it?”

When Lucy doesn’t answer – just turns bright pink and looks the other way – she knows she can make Will understand.

Lollipop Baby Monitor Review

Looking for a baby monitor that's fast and easy to set up? Look no further than the Lollipop baby camera. Our camera is compatible with both iOS and Android systems, so you can connect it to your phone in minutes. Plus, our advanced night vision ensures you can keep an eye on your little one even in the dark. And if you have more than one child, our multi-streaming feature lets you watch them all at once. So relax and take a break - the Lollipop baby camera has got you covered. What're good folks? D Anthony here from the dad fog today, we're gonna talk about a baby monitor, but not just any baby monitors a monitor that incredibly resembles a Lollipop. Lollipop: Best Wireless Baby Monitor with APP The good folks over at Lollipop sent this over for me to take a look at it. And boy, did I take a look at it? It's my wow. Lollipop cons: All right. Before we get started, I know we were supposed to be working on this consistency thing. It was supposed to be a video, you know, every week I think behind like one, but I have a good reason why I've been working on something.  We have a clothing line called create dope humans, and now these shirts are available to toddlers, youth, and infants picking up one of these shirts is a great way to support the channel. And if you're into that kind of thing, just go ahead, click the link and the description without first there do baby monitors have come a long way since the first one in 1937.  And this one here that we're looking at is pretty sleek. And I'm very excited to show it to you guys. Now, our four-month-old Aaliyah is no longer sleeping in our bed and she is now in her crib far, far, far away. We still need visibility to her, which is why this baby monitor comes into play. Now, when it comes to baby monitors, here is what is important to me, safety and privacy, convenience and ease of use useful features. Lollipop Cons: price Lollipop cons: price  The biggest thing I worry about when it comes to any Wi-Fi monitor is has the company has taken the correct precautions to prevent unauthorized usage and access to my baby monitor privacy mode on Lollipop gives access only to people who are connected to your Wi-Fi network, reducing the risk of an outsider, accessing the monitor. That is a good thing. I've seen countless stories of monitors being hacked too easily. So this big deal really big deal from me. Privacy mode is for anybody who is connected to your network, but if you're anything like me and you like to take late night strolls around the neighborhood, by yourself, you're clearly away from your Wi-Fi network. In that sense, there's an option for you to cut that privacy mode off and you can still have access while you are away out to dinner. The babysitter comes through long on the lonely, through the lonely neighborhood. Something like that. Another feature that is good as soon as somebody else accesses your Lollipop. As soon as somebody else accesses your Lollipop, you get a notification. So in the event that something happens, you will get a notification that says this person has just now connected to your Lollipop. Let's look at features. The packaging here is incredibly sleek. I do enjoy the branding efforts here. Now you can get this in a few different colors. They have pink and they also have teal. I think it'll be good if they had a larger range of colors, just, you know, to kinda keep it. But I think it's part of their branding and their, their marketing strategy.  They're only sticking with a couple of colors. We went with the teal because it matches the little flowers that Rachel put on the wall. What comes in the package is you get some screws, some mounting screws, and you get this right here. This is actually a branch. You can put it in there, like so, and mount to the wall. I actually thought this was an antler thought. This was a dear antler. I was like, why, why would they give me an antler? And they only gave me one at that. Definitely not an antler, definitely is a branch for wall decor design. Now the cool thing about some of the features on here is you can take pictures in real-time and store them to your library right there on the Lollipop. Now, while you can take pictures, I haven't found a way to be able to take videos and maybe something that they offer in, their upsell of Lollipop care, but on this free version, just day today, I haven't been able to figure out how to record video Now, if you have a Google home or some kind of screen with a virtual assistant, you can connect your Wi-Fi baby monitor to these displays on the website. It says that it is compatible with Google home, but I have not been able to connect my, um, my Lollipop to Google home. It just, it just doesn't work. There's no dropdown for it. I went through it about 17 times. It, you can't connect it.  And that, that kind of sucks because in the middle of the night, you know, something happens. You have to kind of go through the phone and open it. And there's no just external monitor for you to just kind of roll over, press a quick button, and look at like some other non-Wi-Fi related monitors. The image is very crisp on the Lollipop The image is very crisp on the Lollipop. I like the way that it looks on my phone. It is broadcast in 1080 P. But the thing that I just don't really care for is I can't rotate the camera at all. So I have to put the camera in a very specific location. I have to be comfortable with that location. There's no looking around the room or anything like just baby, baby, baby. That's it. Now, if you like, you can bend your Lollipop and sit it may be on the table or on a nightstand next to your crib. It has what is most likely a wire on the inside of this silicone exterior that's bendable that allows you to place the baby monitor on a table or a stand mounting is pretty easy. Soon as you open up the app, there are three different ways that you can Mount your Lollipop. Now we put ours right on the crib directly facing kind of diagonally downward, but you can just as easily Mount it on the, uh, antler or the branch. If you like, you can set the monitor up to notify you. If the room gets over a certain DPS. So if the room gets too loud, you get a notification on your phone that, that there is an increase or uptake noise. That uptake is most likely your baby crying. Now, if your child is the one that needs music to go to sleep, there are some options on there that you can use. Noark chopping a hairdryer, a vacuum sea wave, some water. And if the baby is still in the womb, a hairdryer, she doesn't care about a hairdryer. All right, when it comes to cost, you're looking at about $150 for your very own Lollipop, baby monitor. In my opinion, it's a very competitive price considering everything that it does. And when you look in the baby Wi-Fi market, even regular Wi-Fi camera markets, it's on parts about that. The additional thing that they add is their Lollipop care. Now that ranges from $29, all the way up to $200 per year, you get a few extra features like the ability to record continuously for 24 hours. Now, I think the basic version is just fine and it's worked for us pretty well. So depending on your style, there may or may not be a need to actually add on this Lollipop care. So that's it guys. That's all I got for you guys today. I hope you guys enjoyed this. Um, very cool. Looking looks like an eye. That's it for me today. I hope you guys enjoyed the product review for the Lollipop, baby monitor. Lollipop Wi-Fi® baby camera FAQ I think that's a great idea! They just need the login info, and I keep one phone logged into my account so we don't have any problems with swapping phones or forgetting who was supposed to watch which kids at what time. The monitor is a WI-FI-based baby camera and the live feed is through Lollipop. However, if your home Wi-Fi crashes then this will not work because there's no way to get internet access on its own! But luckily for you, we have Network Diagnosis which helps diagnose networks so that might be helpful in setting up an environment where parents can view their babies easily without having any problems viewing them via smartphone app or computer screencast when they're away from home Lower the DB level Read the full article
