BASED ON: Marriage for convenience/power within the mafia. Alessandra catches your muse in bed with another woman. Give me all the enemies to lovers plots
"This marriage might not mean shit, but don't you DARE ever disgrace me by bringing some bitch into my house. Next time, I'll slit her throat right there in front of you." Furious hadn't even begun to cover what Alessandra had felt when she'd seen the two fucking in what was meant to be her own house, her own bed. She didn't care about him, she certainly didn't love him ( just the thought made her laugh! ), but it was a blatant insult to her. Part of her wondered if he'd even done it on purpose, knowing she'd be home so that she could see. She hadn't allowed him to touch her, hadn't allowed anything but a few teasing touches and glances since they'd agreed to the marriage, and she wondered if this was payback.
Heather always felt a bit on edge during large events. At least there weren't very many people wearing masks, but it was still overstimulating not being able to focus on one single face. It was a relief when she spotted someone familiar, and led Sebby in their direction. Tapping on the woman's shoulder, she smiled before pulling out her whiteboard. 'You're Marco's sister? I'm Heather.'

he was hating every minute of this festival. it had nothing to do with the costume, in which the nüwa chen siblings had fought over for the best part of a week until they settled on their current attire. marco and people never quite went hand in hand. a man so tired of talking to people that outside of his job he avoid conversations at all costs.
"i'm older, why the fuck am i twin two? i should be twin one" he grumbled at his younger sister. "this is horseshit"

Water is not her element. She’s always known that water is not her element but this is only reaffirming how terribly true that statement is and holed away about halfway up the enormous staircase, she tries to distract herself with anything. Hearing footsteps, she stops, pauses, waits until a head of curly brown hair that’s all too familiar to her appears and she smiles. “Hey, honest question, do you think I look like a kid? One of the moms gave me this activity book and a pack of colouring in pencils. What the heck, right?”
Card et al. study the impacts of childbirth in a hospital with high cesarean delivery rates versus low. Cesarean rates vary across hospitals in the US from 19 to 48 percent. That's huge variation! They use a distance based IV strategy to classify mothers living near high C-section hospitals versus low.
There is some reverse causality worry here since giving birth by C-section is often due to complications during labor, but using this IV should account for that. They have a strong first stage with a higher rate of cesarean deliveries among mothers that live closer to high C-section hospitals. They also show that patients living closer to high C-section hospitals don't seem to be significantly different from those living near low C-section hospitals.
They find some interesting evidence. C-section births provide benefits in that infants are born healthier and are less likely to be readmitted. However, they are still susceptible to respiratory problems.
I think there is more room for research on the effects on the mothers. They note that their data are limited and the paper focuses on the infants.
PLOT: based on “i’m a princess and you’re my bodyguard and we’re so not supposed to bang but we kind of did anyways” au from this post. could be actual royalty or mafia royalty.
“oh my god, will you leave me alone!” alessandra exclaimed in frustration, spinning around to glare at the other. “five minutes alone, is that too much to ask for?” she understood there were currently some very bad people after her father and by extension the family, but she was more than capable of protecting herself. she didn’t need a stupid bodyguard to constantly be breathing down her neck.
