She's here and she's not only ours - Lewis Hamilton

Sequel to She's here and she's ours. Bit of angst, lots of fluff.

pairing: Dad!Lewis Hamilton x Reader!

wordcount: +1k

As always, I'm open for feedback, come say hi!

______________________________________________________________

Navigating the journey from being a couple to becoming a family is often likened to entering a whole new world—one filled with unpredictable challenges and profound joys. The radiant 7-month-old girl had effortlessly woven herself into the fabric of your lives, captivating not only you and Lewis but everyone who crossed her path. Yet, adjusting to new routines, shifting priorities, managing emotional and physical changes, and, most crucially, cultivating a deep bond with your child were aspects of parenthood that no book, class, or well-meaning advice had adequately prepared you for.

And so, the real test of parenthood often lay in learning to prioritize.

“Oh my God, she’s growing up so quickly!” Susie exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as she entered the living area of your apartment, making a beeline for the giggling toddler seated in her bumbo seat on the kitchen island.

“Please, don’t remind me. Time is flying by too fast already,” you replied, your smile widening as you watched your baby recognize Susie and reach out to be scooped up.

“I’m sorry for dropping by unannounced… I just... I had to know why,” Susie said, her expression curious and concerned.

You had expected people to comment and be surprised, but you hadn’t anticipated the attention coming so soon, even before you and Lewis had a chance to share your news.

“So, I take it everyone at Mercedes already knows?”

“More like everyone on the paddock, probably,” Susie confirmed.

“Do you remember her first few days? When she struggled to gain weight and every day felt like a battle?”

The first inkling that something was amiss came mere hours after you had returned home with your newborn daughter. Her incessant cries and insatiable hunger, even after an hour of breastfeeding, had raised red flags.

You had been warned that the initial days would be challenging—that you were now solely responsible for nourishing a tiny human. So, you soldiered on, suppressing your growing panic and tears, dreading the 40-minute feeding intervals where you’d bite your tongue and cheeks to keep from crying.

You tried every trick in the book—increasing your water intake, warm and cold compresses, dietary changes, pumping between feeds, consulting lactation specialists, and even consuming magic lactation cookies. Yet, your milk supply remained stubbornly low.

The sense of failure weighed heavily on you; your primary role was to nurture your baby, something you had done successfully during pregnancy. Instead of relishing the joys of new motherhood, you felt like a failure, a lesser mother to your daughter and a villain to your husband's fairytale of having kids.

Lewis was acutely aware of your distress and tried to be supportive. Despite knowing, as doctors and specialists had advised, that you needed to supplement with formula for both your daughter’s and your own well-being, he refrained from pressuring you. Every night he would feel as though you were punching him in the face when you went out of his sight to cry, or how his chest would tighten when he carried your screaming daughter in his arms, knowing she needed more, from him and from you. Still, he didn’t have in him to lecture you, yet again, on how that little girl needed more, not when you were giving your life and sanity away for her.

It wasn’t until the day before her second week checkup that you broke down. You knew the scale wasn’t going to give her much more grams than she had the past week, way less than she deserved and the added burden that he would be going for his first race of the season in a couple days had you reaching your breaking point.

Seeing Lewis on the sofa, looking worried and worn-out, you collapsed in front of him, letting your tears flow freely. He held you, comforting you with gentle whispers, and you both agreed that transitioning to formula was for the best. Despite the months of hearing about the benefits of breastfeeding, you had come to understand that sometimes the most challenging part of parenthood was knowing when to stand your ground and make the best choice for your family.

“We don’t want his job to feel like a burden every weekend,” you said.

“So, the Hamiltons will be a staple in the paddocks?” Susie asked, her approving smile revealing her pride.

“Life doesn’t always go as planned, does it?” You shrugged

“The media is going to love that smile,” Susie cooed, her attention directed at the toothy grin of your daughter.

“Yeah… She won’t be only ours, but Lewis needs her as much as she needs him. I guess it’s a small price to pay,” you replied, smiling at your yawning daughter in Susie’s lap, her little hands rubbing her eyes—a clear sign that her naptime was due.

“Please, let me. She still loves Disney songs, right?” Susie absentmindedly asked, already heading towards your daughter’s room, laying the toddler on her cheast and ready to lull her to sleep with a familiar melody. As you watched, you couldn’t help but marvel at how your daughter had already captured so many hearts at such a young age.

A Feedee's Guide to Heavy Cream

step one: ascertain your dairy tolerance

Through trial and error, figure out how much heavy cream you can drink at one time without causing yourself meaningful discomfort. It could be a pint or it could be a teaspoon, whatever it is, do your best to understand that limit.

Step two: work it into your schedule

Find one of two good times during the day to include cream in your diet. You could put a splash in your coffee in the morning, or drink a small glass of it before bed. Try to drink the same amounts at the same time every day if you can, dietary changes are always easier when they are regular. If it disrupts your digestion this is especially important, because nobody wants to be cramping during work or whatever.

Step three: Play with these variables

Your dairy tolerance might increase Or decrease, you might find you need to break up when you are drinking it, maybe it makes more sense to drink three smaller amounts over the course of a day, or maybe you only drink it a few times a week. Change these things gradually, messing around until you find a combination that is simple and sustainable.

The golden rule: easy calories are the goal

The best things about heavy cream are that it is extremely calorie dense and that its convenient. In my opinion, it should be should used it as a supplement, something you add to your diet to reach or expand your calorie goal. It's a powerful tool for gaining weight, but you don't want to overuse it, because it will fuck you up. The worst thing you can do for your gain is to drink too much and not be able to eat or digest comfortably.

Happy gaining <3

Pantalone Health Headcanons

This is a smorgasbord of headcanons about how fucked up pants' health would be. Most of them are inspired by @madamemachiko's pants fics/headcanons and the fic Alien Blues on ao3. Those two are my favourite flavours of Pantalone and they have permanently become part of my mental image for him.

I did my best research wise but I'm not an expert so I'm open to corrections/insight, and also wanna hear your thoughts!

ANYWAYS discussions of starvation and health complications

Starvation and diet

As a child on the streets he would either have no access to food or only access to scraps

He would go through long periods without sufficient nutrition and as such developed starvation ketoacidosis, which burned through all his body fat and ate away at his muscle mass as well.

He’s also almost died of refeeding syndrome once or twice, which is when you overload your body with too many calories/nutrients after a period of starvation.

To this day his body still cannot properly metabolize. He puts on weight very easily and it is difficult to gain muscle mass.

I wouldn’t say he’s fat or pudgy, no no, but because his body naturally clings onto all the fat it can get, he doesn’t exactly have a sculpted, defined body, and is kinda soft as a result. The only “definition” he has is his bonier features and whatever muscle he has managed to develop.

This, combined with a sensitive stomach from years of eating… dubious meals, means he is very particular with portion control and dietary restrictions. Some meals he has developed an intolerance/inability to digest, and others he simply can’t stomach as they remind him of worse times.

It has gotten better as he can a) afford food, and b) afford medical treatment, but by this point he’s accepted that this is just how his body is going to be for the rest of his life.

He takes supplements, vitamins, and medicine to cover anything he’s missing as a result of his restrictions.

Bonus: I headcanon Pantalone doesn’t actually care much for bougie dishes. His favourite foods are actually the really, really, really cheap meals he could barely afford when he was younger. They would have been the only hot fresh meals he could get his hands on aside, and they provide a sense of security and warmth. He would never admit he likes commoner meals, though, so whenever he’s asked what he likes, he defaults to whatever fancy dish he can think of off the top of his head.

Stress and illness

Pantalone doesn’t have a canon age, I personally hc him as like 27 at the youngest, but regardless of how old you think he is, he has spent his entire life Stressed and there’s no way he isn’t suffering from it

Maybe the white is his hair is from his age, depending on your headcanon age for him, but a lot of it is from the stress of constantly working himself to the limit

He would never admit this, but he actually has a significant amount of white hair, he just dyes it black to hide it. He keeps the one streak because it makes him look sexy- I mean, it looks charming.

He also constantly suffers from migraines, especially when he’s trying to meet a deadline. He takes medication to counter it, but it can only do so much.

They can get so bad that his eyes start to hurt, his vision blurs and he starts getting dizzy

He’s susceptible to respiratory infections, namely he is asthmatic and at risk of catching pneumonia. He’s had too many close calls as a child.

His heart is also at risk due to the aforementioned stress and disease that has plagued him since his youth.

Similar to his diet, he is able to manage all of his conditions now that he can afford top of the line medical care, but he’ll never be 100% and he knows he has to work around that.

The cold weather of Snezhnaya is not good for him, if he’s outside for too long he starts to get short of breath because of the asthma.

He will also neglect sleep and hunger if he gets too absorbed in his work, he would actually work himself to death if you let him.

In spite of this, he carries on like nothing is wrong. He’s smiling, going about his day, attending meetings with his fellow harbingers and filling out paperwork for the Northland Bank like it’s nothing. He refuses to let the mask slip, no matter how bad his health issues can get.

It helps that he also has a pretty good self care routine to maintain his porcelain complexion and silky hair. Helps with the illusion that Everything Is Fine.

The Ultimate Guide to Losing Belly Fat: Strategies for a Trim and Toned Midsection

Dreaming of a flat and toned stomach? You're not alone. Belly fat is a common concern for many people, but with the right approach, you can achieve your goals and reveal those sculpted abs. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the best strategies for losing belly fat, including the use of belly fat burners, effective dietary and exercise practices, and lifestyle adjustments to support your journey to a slimmer midsection.

Understanding Belly Fat

Before diving into the strategies for losing belly fat, it's essential to understand the different types of fat and why belly fat can be particularly stubborn. There are two main types of belly fat:

Subcutaneous Fat: This type of fat lies just beneath the skin and is often referred to as "pinchable" fat. While subcutaneous fat can contribute to a protruding belly, it is less harmful to health compared to visceral fat.

Visceral Fat: Located deep within the abdominal cavity, visceral fat surrounds vital organs such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines. Excess visceral fat is associated with an increased risk of various health conditions, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.

Best Strategies for Losing Belly Fat

1. Incorporate Cardiovascular Exercise:

Cardiovascular exercise, such as running, cycling, swimming, or brisk walking, can help burn calories and reduce overall body fat, including belly fat. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity cardio per week, supplemented with strength training exercises to build lean muscle mass.

2. Focus on High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT):

HIIT workouts involve alternating between short bursts of high-intensity exercise and periods of rest or low-intensity activity. HIIT has been shown to be particularly effective for reducing abdominal fat and improving overall fitness levels in a shorter amount of time compared to traditional steady-state cardio.

3. Incorporate Strength Training:

Strength training exercises, such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, and planks, can help build lean muscle mass and boost metabolism, leading to increased calorie burning and fat loss. Aim to include strength training workouts targeting the major muscle groups at least two to three times per week.

4. Adopt a Balanced Diet:

Focus on consuming a balanced diet rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. Minimize intake of processed foods, sugary snacks, and refined carbohydrates, which can contribute to belly fat accumulation and overall weight gain.

5. Monitor Portion Sizes:

Practice portion control to avoid overeating and excess calorie consumption, which can lead to weight gain and belly fat accumulation. Use smaller plates, measure serving sizes, and pay attention to hunger and fullness cues to help regulate food intake.

The Role of Belly Fat Burners

Belly fat burners are supplements or compounds designed to enhance fat burning, particularly in the abdominal region. These products often contain ingredients such as caffeine, green tea extract, and forskolin, which are believed to increase metabolism, promote fat oxidation, and support weight loss. While belly fat burners may offer some benefits, they are not a magic solution for losing belly fat and should be used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise for best results.

Lifestyle Adjustments for Belly Fat Loss

In addition to diet and exercise, making lifestyle adjustments can help support your efforts to lose belly fat:

Get Adequate Sleep: Aim for seven to nine hours of quality sleep per night to support hormone balance, metabolism, and overall health.

Manage Stress: Chronic stress can lead to increased cortisol levels, which may contribute to belly fat accumulation. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or spending time in nature.

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support digestion, metabolism, and overall health.

Conclusion

Losing belly fat requires a multifaceted approach that includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, lifestyle adjustments, and potentially the use of belly fat burner supplements. By incorporating cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and HIIT workouts into your routine, adopting a balanced diet rich in whole foods, and making lifestyle adjustments to support overall health and well-being, you can achieve your goals and reveal a trim and toned midsection. Remember to be patient and consistent, as losing belly fat takes time and dedication. With the right approach and mindset, you can say goodbye to belly fat and hello to a healthier, happier you.

I want to eat less animals again but I fucking suck at it. I sucked at it as a pescatarian from age 8-17 when I was constantly anaemic. I sucked at it living on a protest camp age 24-27. Whenever I shift to a majority plant protein diet I just don't feel good; even with supplementing omega 3, b vitamins, and iron. For extra context, I'm gluten free (not diagnosed coeliac but very unwell when I eat wheat, barley, or rye).

The issues I have- don't feel full, get hungry again very easily even though am eating a lot of fibre. Plant proteins in the form of legumes causing intestinal distress (especially hummous, which I love but it makes me fart so bad). Having to pile carbs on my plate to feel full for longer; end up gaining weight and unhappy with that. Struggle to eat outside of the house because of existing dietary requirement. Anaemia and folate deficiency. Bored with soft textures and lack of browning in food.

I would like some advice for how to move forward practically with this, as I do want to reduce my meat consumption. It's a little bit out of control at the moment.

Please no responses about how veganism is a load of bunk or whatever. Just practical advice to address the issues above.

The Real Deal

Part 12 - The D Word

Characters: AU Single Bill Skarsgård. A version of Bill where he becomes single 2017 and with a different timeline. AU Skarsgårds and others. The rest is my own original characters.

Setting: This chapter is just set in 2021.

Warnings: 18+, mentions of weight, mentions of cheating, mentions and allusions of fetishes, mentions of abortion, violence (sort of), sex work, slut shaming, blackmail.

Notes: This story has almost reached its end. The next part will be the last chapter about Bill and Cassie! I apologize for not putting in a "read more" cut but I didn't have a laptop to do it with!

October 2021

She heard the shower running when she got home. Lucky for her Bill had left the door ajar as usual so she could storm in. He stood naked on the beige fluffy rug on the way into the shower when she walked in with determined steps. She couldn't stop herself from looking at his member and then his naked chest but looked pissed. Bill smirked and looked at her.

"Did you want something?"

Cassie took one more look at his naked body before speaking.

"You said 'fitta' meant 'pussy'.."

Bill gave her a curious look.

"Yeah?"

"So when my boss didn't dare to talk to this guy… I called her 'fitta'." She gave Bill a pointed irritated look.

Bill smiled bashfully but couldn't stop himself from smiling even bigger.

"Oh," he said with a big smile and dragged his hands over his naked hips.

"Did you lie to me?"

"No, no, no! It's just maybe more mean like… 'cunt'. But not exactly." He hadn't stopped smiling yet, especially because Cassie looked so annoyed. "Like you have a 'fitta', I would use that word. 'Cunt' is so much more… ugly. 'Fitta' is prettier but you shouldn't call someone that or…"

"You say that to your friends! You called Hampus that just a few days ago!" Her arms were crossed and it looked like she would even stomp her feet.

"That's different… It's like… A guy thing?"

Cassie shook her head and started to dress down.

"A guy thing… More like a little boy thing. Fucking asshole," she muttered while walking into the shower. Bill gave her a confused look.

"I was about to…" he gave a nod to the shower.

"Come in then, fucking 'fitta', she said and pulled him in.

Bill just smiled amused and hugged her from behind.

She had gained some "sambo weight" just like himself but she still let him caress her body just the way he wanted to. She had started a new life and made awful green smoothie bowls for him and ate weird dietary supplements.

"I have booked flight tickets now…" said Cassie carefully while she shampooed her hair. Bill still got sour thinking about everything about her earlier side gig. He looked down and pretended his stomach needed some extra washing. They had waited on him to end the filming of his Swedish movie but now it was really time to do something. Cassie got more and more nervous everyday.

Bill sighed and moved closer to the shower so he could wet his hair.

"Good…" he just said.

Cassie looked at him and felt once again, her bad conscience.

"I'm sorry baby…" she whispered and looked down at the floor. Bill looked at her and moved close and took her face in his hands.

"We will solve this shit, okay? But don't say sorry again. You have said it already and I have forgiven you."

Cassie looked at his big green eyes, the storming feelings inside them but also the sincerity.

She kissed his lips and dragged him as close as she could and let herself accept his embrace and unconditional love.

A week later they were finally in Manhattan outside of the building where Georg Visser had his office. Cassie had thought it would be herself that would be nervous but Bill had gotten all quiet in the taxi and now walked around in circles outside of the entrance with his hands deep down in the pockets of his bomber jacket. Cassie just stood and looked at him, waiting on him to calm down. He kicked at an AirPod someone must have dropped with the toe of his scuffed ankle boot. Cassie looked at the poor AirPod land in a puddle but continued to be quiet. She hadn't been on him and nagged about anything that day, not even his clothes so he wore his regular jeans with a well worn long sleeved t-shirt. A few months ago she would have forced him to wear a button up but now even she wasn’t dressed up. She had on sneakers, jeans and an oversize leather jacket. She was surprised at how comfortable she was being dressed like that in New York, meeting Georg Visser. It was probably because she was so comfortable with Bill she didn't feel the need to dress up for others, but also that many of her tight dresses and skirts didn't fit as they used to.

"Okay… Okay…" Bill said, taking a deep breath and fixing his hair.

"He isn't that bad. Just a bit of a snob," said Cassie. She had told Bill about Georg, his feelings for her but also that he often called himself 'daddy' in her presence. Bill had gotten really uncomfortable but she felt the need to tell him now before they met.

Georg looked at the couple amused when they walked into his company's place. He looked at the tall man with big telling eyes and the woman he had conflicted feelings towards, dressed in a way he wasn't used to.

"Cassie, babe!" He said loudly and walked up to her and lifted her up in his arms. He did it both with joy to see her and to provoke her boyfriend, the stiff Swede next to her.

Bill looked at the man, who was in his fifties, lifting Cassie and felt the annoyance rise at once. The man looked good for his age but was way too old for Cassie. Cassie looked young for her age and still had that angelic look a young woman has. Bill clicked his tongue when Cassie pushed Georg away but he continued to be too close to her. The sound made Georg turn to Bill and once again looked him up and down. It was obvious that most of his clothes were well worn and not at all of the quality he himself demanded of his clothes but he looked at Bill's flawless skin and high cheekbones and he envied his striking looks and youth. He didn't need expensive suits to look good.

"Georg Visser," he said and put out a hand to Bill. Bill took his hand and felt the need to be just as firm as the older man.

"Bill Skarsgård."

Cassie looked at the men, the power play between them. It felt like she could take a coffee break while they just stared at each other.

Georg nodded a little then showed them into a room with sofas and armchairs around a low table. He looked at Cassie again and her fingers entwined with Bill's long ones.

"I almost didn't recognize you, honey. Is this what happens when you get a boyfriend?" He looked her up and down. That comment made Bill's hackle go up for real but Cassie just smiled and gave Bill's arm a soothing stroke.

"You mean the self love? Probably not for everyone but it did happen to me." She dragged Bill with her towards a couch and continued to smile. Bill gave her a side look and felt almost a bit stunned over how smoothly she had handled Georg's stupid comment. Georg looked at them and smiled a bit uncomfortably. Somewhere he had believed Cassie would flirt a bit with him behind Bill's back.

"I'm just going to get some papers…" said Georg and left when Cassie had given him a little nod. Bill moved closer to her when Georg had left them and Cassie laid her leg over his leg and smiled.

"You know that you're really pretty, right? Even prettier than you were in those dresses and…" He said and looked at her with searching eyes but Cassie interrupted him.

"I know," she just said like it was obvious and smiled bigger. Bill smiled a bit surprised but pleased with her confidence. She kissed him a bit too passionately for the environment but he answered fast and let it continue. Georg stood outside of the door looking at the couple in an intense liplock and sighed to himself. He went in when he saw them move a bit from each other.

"Right, right then…" he said and sat down in an armchair opposite them. "Well I asked you to come here to try to make you realize a friendly agreement would be best for you all."

Both Cassie and Bill furrowed their brows but Bill let her speak, this was her affair, he was just the sponsor.

"What do you mean with 'friendly'?"

"Oh, simple, direct… Without lawyers. You know I'm an educated lawyer and I would of course help you." Georg spinned a pen between his fingers.

Cassie looked at Bill that gave her a look of consensus. They had talked about this and were prepared for this to happen. Georg had sounded unsure as soon as Cassie had said Bill wanted to have a lawyer with them while writing the contract.

"But you would also help them, right?" Said Cassie with an attitude.

"Honey, not that attitude to daddy."

Bill made an irritated groan and gave him a sour look. Georg smirked.

"She used to call me that. I guess she doesn't call you that," said Georg and continued to smirk towards Bill.

"Maybe I will, soon," said Cassie. "But back to this. And no more of that shit. Okay?" She said to Georg with power in her voice. Both the men looked at her. Georg with a bit of rejection while Bill looked impressed.

"We want a lawyer in the room. And she has sent you the changes she wants to see in the contract."

Georg sighed, crossed his legs and looked at Bill's hand on Cassie's knee.

"Otherwise I have the old contract here and we can solve this and you don't need to meet the men that have put you in this situation." Cassie took Bill's hand in hers and took a deep breath.

"I want to meet them. I want them to understand there are real women on that site. Not just pictures of objects they want to use for money. I'm lucky to have met a man that I felt comfortable telling about my bad choices but others will destroy their life just because they press them on money. Fuck them, I want to meet those assholes," she spit while hugging Bill's hand hard. He just looked at her proudly. He had seen that side of her many times while Georg looked at her shocked. He had just met the sugarbabe Cassie and never the whole woman. He had just met the character, the Betty Boop like fantasy she had created, not that colorful person behind it.

Georg cleared his throat uncomfortably and looked down at his papers. It was the contract he and the creators of the site formulated together. They didn't want to hire another lawyer because even they knew how low this was. They just wanted a quick affair and avoid meeting one of the women they had blackmailed for money. Sure, they had the law on their side but they had used it in an ugly way.

"Fine, then we will meet tomorrow. With your lawyer… And my client."

Cassie smiled disappointed at Georg and shook her head while standing up.

"And I actually thought you cared for me. But I guess you weren't better than the others?" She said while Bill stood up. He let her talk even if he had things he wanted to say to Georg too. Georg stood up and buttoned his suit jacket with a ticking jaw.

"I do care about you Cassie but… This is just so unnecessary. They do own the pictures and you are a hooker."

He said it because of hurt feelings but also because he really wanted to see her as just that. Where had that girl he knew disappeared?

"Don't call her that. And she has left all that behind now," said Bill suddenly. He wouldn't let anyone call her such things.

He laid a protective arm around Cassie's waist. Cassie looked at him appreciatively even if she wanted to answer for herself.

"Maybe I was. With you. But I am so much more than that." She smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "Lets go," she said to Bill and leaned up to give him a peck on the lips.

Georg looked after them with the contract in his hands. His heart beating hard in his chest with regret and bitterness.

Bill and Cassie enjoyed New York the best they could even if they had much on their mind and Cassie didn't want to drink any alcohol to have a clear head for the next day. They crawled down in bed early and Bill looked at her big eyed while laying with his face towards her. She laid down the same way and smiled.

"What?" She said. Bill moved closer to kiss her.

"I'm just so fucking proud of you. You're so strong. You have such power."

Cassie laughed a little and looked up at the ceiling. Bill scooted closer and let his hand caress her hip and waist. She sensed that he was thinking about something but didn't say anything.

"And that comment about that you have changed… You were so confident in a way many girls wouldn't be…" She smiled and looked at him a bit amused.

"Mhm?"

"You're so beautiful but I didn't think you would react like that."

"I am beautiful," she said, just as confident.

"But still you don't drink and you eat all this… healthy shit."

Cassie just laid silent and smiled while Bill looked down and played with the hem of her panties.

"Have you thought about anything else, Mr. Attentive?"

Bill laughed a bit embarrassed and looked at her face fast but then he looked down again.

"Well you have these quite strong mood swings… You could almost believe that… Well, when you think of all this you could almost believe… You're pregnant?" He said carefully and looked at her face. He knew it wasn't a good thing to say to a woman who wasn't pregnant so if he were wrong he would probably have problems. Cassie made an amused sound and dragged her hand over her face.

"I wanted to wait to tell you until all of this was over… So you wouldn't think I was baby trapping you but… Yeah, I'm pregnant," she said and looked at Bill just as carefully as he had looked at her. He sat up and looked down at her.

"Are you serious? But I thought… Aren't you on the pill?"

Cassie laughed a bit nervously.

"Time to ask that now… It seems like you have inherited your dad's super sperm because they don't seem to have helped."

Bill looked puzzled and looked down at Cassie who was now supporting her head on an elbow. He laughed a little and looked around the room.

"Do you want it?" He asked and turned his head quickly towards her.

"To be honest… Yeah, yeah I really do but just if you want it. I can still have an abortion."

"No, no, no!" Said Bill and leaned down, giving her a hard kiss. "No, no. No. I want it. I want it." He kissed her again so hard the both of them became breathless and Cassie was forced to lay down. Bill laid down on top of her but then moved back from her belly, sitting between her legs and pulled up her lacy nightgown.

"So this is why you have put on weight!" He said with a big smile and dragged two big hands over her belly.

"Yeah, the real question is why have you put on weight," she teased and spread her legs so he could come closer.

"Ha ha ha." He said with pretend annoyance but then turned his smiling face down towards her belly.

"You know that I was an accident, right? They thought they were done then mom got pregnant with me and they decided to have some more kids."

Cassie smirked.

"As I said, super sperm."

Bill leaned down carefully and kissed her while one of his hands wandered up to her chest and pinched her nipple.

"Can you take my cock even if..?" He said and pressed his erection against the inside of her thigh. Cassie laughed.

"Are you hard? Now? But yeah, I can take your cock, you can't really make me more pregnant." She giggled and put her arms around his shoulders and lifted her legs up over his hips. Bill just smiled.

"Shit, I have impregnated you." He said proudly like he had done something really extraordinary.

It was obvious the next day that something had happened to Bill and Cassie. Maybe it was the four orgasms that they had had that night but most of all it was because they knew that they would have a baby in just six months. They were glowing from inside out even if they were doing a hard thing that day. But even if they were, they just thought about the future, the two of them with a baby. Bill had already downloaded an app he could follow everything every week, from a peanut to a finished baby. Cassie saw him looking at the app in the taxi to Georg's office, smiling to himself. She smiled by seeing his face and looked over his shoulder.

"Week 14 you said? You knew that the little seahorse is all hairy?" He said and showed his screen.

"Seahorse?" Cassie asked while giggling.

"It kinda looks like a seahorse." Bill smirked. Cassie shook her head.

"No?"

"Well I will call it the seahorse, okay? Or the alien."

"Okay, say the seahorse," said Cassie and shook her head. Bill continued to look at the app while walking up to Georg's office. It was probably a good distraction to avoid the thoughts. Cassie, who had known about the pregnancy for some weeks couldn't really distract herself with that anymore and felt more and more nervous every floor the elevator moved by. Bill looked at her and put his phone down.

"It will be okay," he said lowly and took her hand just before they were on the right floor. They could see Bill's lawyer, Georg and a shorter man next to him. Bill hugged her hand and slowly they walked up to the group. Bill's lawyer said hello first with a friendly hand shake and then Georg gave them a cold nod. The man to his right looked at Bill with big eyes that made Bill look at him strangely.

"This is Calvin Morris, the owner, creator and my client." Said Georg and made a motion towards the man. Cassie didn't know what to feel but thought she would be the bigger person and shake his hand but Calvin didn't even acknowledge her, just looked at Bill.

"Shit, are you fucking Pennywise?" He asked with an impressed laugh. Bill looked him up and down.

"Yes?" He said with furrowed brows. Cassie looked between them and then at the lawyer who gave her a knowing look.

"Ah shit, dude, my buddy will kill me when he finds out I met you. Can we take a picture?" Bill gave him a pointed look.

"No?"

"Oh come on! It's just a picture dude!"

Georg cleared his throat, he also looked annoyed.

"May we sit down and clear this up…"

The guy looked at him a second and then at Cassie.

"Ah shit, it's your girlfriend? Fuck, I didn't know she was dating, like, a horror icon."

He dried off his hands on his printed tee and put his hand out to Cassie.

"You're so fucking hot. I understand why you were popular and why you found like a famous sugardaddy."

Cassie looked down at his hand offended then let Bill moved it away for her.

"I'm her boyfriend, not her sugardaddy."

The lawyer cleared her throat.

"Let us talk about the contract now. My clients have better things to do."

Bill led Cassie into the room Georg had opened with their lawyer closely behind them. Calvin stood behind a while playing with his phone. He wished to take a snap with Bill instead he wrote to all of his contacts: "Hanging out with Pennywise Skarsgard!!"

They all sat down around an oval table and Georg waited impatiently on Calvin. Bill shook his head towards Cassie.

"Jävla fitta…" he said lowly about Calvin. She couldn't stop herself from giggling a bit and that made Georg look at her sourly.

When they all sat around the table, the lawyer gave Cassie and Calvin each a contract. Georg clicked his tongue because he also had his own version of the contract.

Cassie put the contract between Bill and her. They had read it before so knew what it contained. The lawyer had really written it so that there weren't any holes or paragraphs to walk around. It was waterproof.

"Mr. Morris, you wrote yesterday that you were okay with this contract. And I guess you still are?" Georg tried to get Calvin’s attention who sat preoccupied with watching Bill and Cassie. He was listening to Georg with one ear but then cleared his throat.

"I don't need the money. It feels really like an asshole move… Shit and like… You're in love and shit. Right? And you're fucking Pennywise."

Bill and Cassie looked at each other confused and then towards Calvin again who now began to doodle on his contract while Georg whispered things to him with an annoyed face. He gave it to Bill's lawyer without listening to Georg and she looked it through closely. Cassie and Bill looked at her expectantly.

"This looks great Calvin. Can I use the printer Mr. Visser?" She said, giving Cassie the contract. It said the same thing just that 50,000 was over crossed to "for free." Cassie looked at Bill who smirked and then gave a thumbs up to Calvin who got so happy by his approval he almost jumped a bit in his chair. Georg looked between them and sighed loudly.

When the contract had printed it went by quickly for them to sign it.

"But weren't you two people? Two owners I mean," asked Bill and looked at Calvin. Georg tried to stop Calvin from answering but it was too late.

"Yeah? Georg owned it with me but sold his shares to me just some months ago."

Cassie, who had been distracted with staring at the signatures suddenly looked up.

"What…?" She said and looked between Calvin and Georg.

"That can't be right…" said the lawyer, stressed, afraid she had missed something.

"It's his cousin or something that owned it on paper but he was the boss," said Calvin without realizing what he really had said. Georg looked between Cassie and Bill and stood up. He laughed a bit nervously.

"Ehh… Cassie… Em… Cassie…"

Cassie just looked at him confused, she couldn't take in what Calvin had said but Bill had. He rarely lost his temper but this was just too much.

"What the fuck??" His chair slammed down on the floor when he pushed himself up on his legs.

"Now we calm down here." Said the lawyer and looked between Georg and Bill. Cassie still couldn't really understand she just felt the stress and anxiety grow. Georg continued to laugh nervously when Bill moved towards him. Cassie looked at her boyfriend and knew if she didn't say anything now he would do something stupid. His eyes were almost black and he looked more scary than she had ever seen him. He took a hold of Georg's expensive collar but wasn't able to do anything more when he heard Cassie shout his name.

"Bill, come, let's go. Let's go. We move forward now," she said calmly and laid her hand on Bill's arm who released Georg from his grip. "He isn't worth it…"

Bill gave Georg a last angry look before turning to Cassie. His eyes softened quickly and she smiled at him and took his hand. Bill rarely felt anger wash over him, he was a collected person who registered his feelings before acting but this time it took over. It was just such a cold act and was almost unbelievable how he had fooled Cassie to both open up to him but also blackmail her at the same time. But Bill cooled down, not because Georg was worth it but because Cassie was it. He took a deep breath and then let her move him out from the room with the signed contract in her hand.

Georg stood behind with a heavy heart and a too tight tie. After losing it he turned to Calvin with an angry look.

"You are so fucking stupid, you know that?"

Calvin still sat by the table, looking at his own copy of the contract like he was pleased. Bill had put a post it on it with his signature and Calvin dragged his finger over the B over and over.

"Why? Everyone is happy, right?" He just said. Georg sighed and dragged his hands over his face. He knew what he had done to Cassie was awful but the jealousy and bitterness had just become too big when he had heard she had moved away with a fucking movie star. He took some deep breaths and walked with fast steps to catch up with them and say he was sorry.

After having said goodbye and giving the lawyer a thank you, Bill and Cassie were hugging and kissing outside of Georg's company to land on their emotions. Just that one hour had been a rollercoaster and now they just wanted the good feelings back. Bill dragged a hand over her belly.

"Is this okay too?" He asked sweetly. Cassie leaned back so he could do it more easily.

"I think so, the seahorse seems to be okay."

She smiled and watched his hand pat her belly. Bill smiled and kissed her forehead before hugging her again.

Georg watched them by the door without them noticing. They weren't far away so he had heard their sweet words between them and seen Bill's hand caressing her stomach. He looked at them a while with a heavy heart then walked in through the door again. They didn't need his apology anyway, they seem to have everything they ever wanted.

Fitta - meaning pussy/cunt. Used as a swear word but many guys use it more relaxed way between friends but you don't call a female it, then it get interpreted as a swear word.

Sambo weight - Sambo meaning that you live together. Sambo weight is what Swedes call the weight many couples put on while moving in together. Fun fact, in Sweden there is similar "legal rules" that a married couple have, this because marriage isn't as common in Sweden as it once was.

Abortion in Sweden - in Sweden you can do an abortion until week 18. After that you need to get special permission because of disease or rape and so on.

Transform Your Body: The Ultimate Guide to Supplements and Herbal Remedies for FTM Workouts and Increased Testosterone Levels

Are you searching for the definitive guide to supplements and herbal remedies for female-to-male transgender (FTM) exercises and improved testosterone levels? Look no further! This in-depth guide will provide you with all of the knowledge you need to make educated judgments regarding the most effective supplements and medicinal herbs for bringing about a transformation in your body.

We'll cover everything from how they can improve muscle mass, strength, endurance, libido, energy levels, mental clarity, and more. With this information, you can be certain that any dietary supplement or herbal treatment that you select is appropriate for your specific requirements. So get ready to unlock your potential as we explore all of the fantastic benefits that these natural tools have to offer!

Overview of Supplements and Herbal Remedies for FTM Workouts

Supplements and herbal treatments are potent tools that can assist in providing you with the most from your workouts and achieving your fitness goals. They can provide essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and other compounds that your body needs to grow muscular, strong, and healthy. Some supplements may even be able to increase testosterone levels in FTM individuals experiencing issues with low testosterone, which can have a positive effect on strength, endurance, and libido, as well as work to lower gender dysphoria.

When it comes to supplements, you should always look for those that are specifically made for trans-masculine individuals. These products will contain the ideal balance of ingredients needed to get the most out of your workouts while avoiding any potential side effects. Some of the most popular choices include whey protein, creatine, and BCAA supplements.

In addition to supplements, several herbal remedies may be able to help you get the most out of workouts designed for trans-masculine bodies. These natural alternatives can provide significant benefits in terms of increased testosterone levels, higher levels of sexual functioning, improved energy levels, mental clarity, and more. Some popular herbal supplements for female-to-male transgender individuals include tribulus terrestris, DHEA, ashwagandha, and fenugreek.

Benefits of Supplements and Herbs for FTM Workouts and Increased Testosterone Levels

Working out is a great way to stay fit and healthy when thinking about transgender health, but if you're looking to take your physique to the next level during your transition process, taking supplements and herbs can help. The fantastic this is that most of these aren't inherently testosterone supplements, but they do wonders to boost testosterone levels anyway!

For example, supplements like tribulus terrestris can boost follicle-stimulating hormones, which in turn can increase testosterone production and promote muscle growth.

Furthermore, zinc deficiency has been linked to testosterone deficiency; therefore, supplementation with zinc is an excellent way to increase testosterone production in FTM individuals.

Meanwhile, Tongkat Ali root—touted as one of the most powerful testosterone therapy boosters around—combines the important hormones DHEA and androsterone for enhanced testosterone levels.

Herbs like ashwagandha are also great for regulating cortisol levels, which could be reducing your levels of sexual desire, as well as cause other adverse effects like weight gain.

So if you're looking for long-lasting gains from engaging with FTM-oriented workouts, herbal remedies, and dietary supplements are worth considering!

Types of Supplements to Consider

Supplementation is an important part of any workout routine, particularly for those transitioning from female to male. The right supplements help facilitate the impact and success of the exercise program while supporting an increase in testosterone levels, and there are myriad supplements that can be employed to your benefit.

Hormone therapy

Hormone therapy is a type of supplement taken to raise testosterone levels. It usually consists of synthetic or bio-identical hormones and can be taken orally or injected. It’s important to speak with your doctor before starting any hormone therapy program as long-term use can cause an increased risk of certain health problems such as prostate cancer or heart attack.

One type of hormone therapy is testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Testosterone replacement therapy for regulating hormone levels in transgender patients is an important step in transitioning. The process begins with an evaluation from a qualified healthcare professional, who can assess the patient’s eligibility and physical readiness before prescribing hormone treatments.

Generally speaking, testosterone therapy involves the gradual, long-term introduction of testosterone into the system to initiate visible physical changes in the body. This could involve pills, topical gels, intramuscular injections, or other modes of delivery, depending on what is most suitable for the patient and prescribed by their doctor.

Changes caused by introducing testosterone into the body can include the growth of muscle mass, decreased fat distribution around hips and thighs, changes in sex drive, facial and body hair growth, and a deepening of the voice. However, these outcomes will differ between individuals and many different variables influence the success of hormone replacement therapy.

Some gender-affirming hormone therapy treatments are available over the counter, and in some instances, a doctor’s prescription is not required. It is important to discuss any possible risks with your healthcare provider before starting any kind of hormone replacement therapy.

Creatine

A naturally occurring amino acid called creatine is used to replenish muscle glycogen stores after rigorous exercise. It is an essential supplement for any trans person who is serious about their workout regimen.

Creatine helps to boost the body's ability to perform at a higher intensity and for a longer period, leading to increased gains in strength, speed, and power. Supplementing with creatine increases the body’s production of ATP, which is responsible for the muscles' contractile function and energy transfer.

Creatine also helps muscle cells absorb more water, resulting in bigger muscles and faster recovery times after intensive workouts. This supplement has risen to popularity rather quickly due to its many advantages, becoming one of the most prominent supplements among those trying to boost muscle mass, strength, and stamina. Therefore, creatine is an essential part of any health regimen for transgender men seeking noticeable physical changes from their workouts.

Other Supplements and Herbal Remedies

To maximize the benefit of an FTM workout, consider adding the following supplements to your regimen: ZMA, whey protein, Omega-3 fatty acids, ashwagandha, and maca root powder.

ZMA

ZMA supplements help with muscle growth and affect testosterone levels. Additionally, research suggests that it is possible to experience improvements in sexual function by taking a daily ZMA supplement. ZMA is testosterone-boosting, libido-enhancing, and mood-elevating, making it an ideal supplement for those interested in these benefits.

The clinically studied ingredients in ZMA have been found to increase free testosterone levels and reduce feelings of stress, which can help address the physical and psychological barriers that often impede reaching improved sexual function.

These natural ingredients also balance out hormones involved with reproduction and libido such as estrogen and progesterone, which are primarily useful for MTF individuals instead of FTM. Increased energy levels are also associated with ZMA supplementation, providing improved stamina.

Whey protein

Nutritionally, whey protein is highly recommended for transgender men in transition. This advantage is because whey protein contains all nine essential amino acids, including leucine, which helps increase muscle mass.

This can be beneficial during a masculine transition as increased muscle mass results in increased testosterone production, leading to optimal health and improved progress in transition-related goals such as appearing more masculine by decreasing physical components of gender dysphoria.

Additionally, many forms of whey protein offer a good source of calcium and vitamin B12—two essential vitamins necessary for healthy bone mass and nervous system function that may be lacking when on hormone therapy. With adequate doses of whey protein plus proper safety measures, the FTM transition can become even more fruitful.

Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids improve natural hormone balance helping restore normal testosterone levels. They are essential for overall health and well-being, but they can be especially beneficial to those transitioning toward masculinity. Omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to improved growth in muscles, healthy testosterone levels, improved brain function and clarity, better circulation, a healthy heart rate, and circulatory system, improved sleep quality, and an enhanced immune system.

Moreover, omega-3 fatty acids have been demonstrated to lower inflammation in the body, which may aid in recovery by decreasing the necessary recovery periods after intense workouts. Furthermore, research suggests that omega-3 supplements aid in improving mental health, since they can reduce feelings of anxiety and depression that can accompany transitioning.

Taking regular supplements of omega-3 fatty acids or incorporating omega-3-rich foods like salmon and flaxseed into your diet can be a great way to improve physical and mental health while transitioning.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha has long been known for its testosterone-boosting properties. It is a powerful herbal supplement that has become increasingly popular as a supplement for transgender people. It contains active compounds that have been used to help improve overall well-being and health.

Clinical studies found that ashwagandha can reduce the levels of cortisol, a hormone known to increase when under strain or stress. Furthermore, it can also boost testosterone levels, whilst decreasing inflammation and preventing excess weight gain.

This incredible herb is known to calm the body and support its natural healing process which makes it an ideal supplement for trans-masculine people. With regular use, ashwagandha can help regulate hormone levels and provide relief from anxiety or depression. Ashwagandha is undoubtedly a necessity for optimal transgender health.

Maca root

Maca root helps promote healthy oxygen levels in the body contributing to an increase in testosterone production. It has been shown to provide incredible nutritional benefits for trans men especially.

Maca root, harvested from Peru and other parts of South America, is an effective natural supplement with several amazing health benefits. Its high vitamin and mineral content makes it a useful aid in maintaining stamina and relieving tension, both of which are essential for those transitioning from female to male bodies as adequate amounts of energy and relaxation are needed for the process.

Additionally, maca root helps to boost physical strength and endurance, allowing transgender men to face the demands imposed by their transitioning journey more consistently. Furthermore, maca roots are rich in antioxidants that support overall well-being; important for those embarking on hormone replacement therapy which can cause a wide variety of negative side effects due primarily to increased amounts of powerful hormones being introduced into the body.

All these features make maca root an ideal supplement for those beginning or undergoing transition, as it can provide more power to face day-to-day tasks and pressures while maintaining good health during what can be an otherwise tumultuous time.

Supplementing with these types of products will not only boost testosterone levels but also support healthy workouts needed to complete your transition process with minimal stress.

How to Choose the Right Supplement for You

When it comes to supplements, always look for those that are specifically made for FTM individuals, as these are more likely to be optimized for your body's needs. Here's how to choose the right supplement for you:

Consider your workout type and intensity

Different supplements work best with different types of workouts. For example, if you're focusing on weight training, you'll want to look for products that contain anabolic compounds like creatine or testosterone boosters like tribulus terrestris. On the other hand, if you're working on cardio or HIIT, you'll want to look for products that contain stimulants or energy boosts like caffeine or B vitamins.

Check the ingredients

Be sure to read the label and check the ingredients before you buy any supplement. Make sure that what you're buying is safe by ensuring it contains only natural plant-based ingredients with no added sugars or preservatives.

Do your research

It's always important to do ample research before taking any supplement. If you're wondering whether or not the supplements for your exercise regimen are having a positive effect, reading reviews and talking to other people who have used the same product might help.

Effectiveness

Make sure the supplement you choose is effective. Research shows that certain natural ingredients can be highly beneficial for those transitioning from female to male bodies, but not all supplements are equally effective. Be sure to pick a product that is formulated specifically for trans-masc individuals to get the most benefit from it, and conduct more research on your own to make sure the supplement you choose is optimal for your goals.

Consult a doctor

Health Risks Of Using Supplements for FTM Workouts and Increased Testosterone Levels

Although supplements can be incredibly beneficial for trans men, it's important to remember that they can also pose some serious risks. Excessive consumption of certain supplements may lead to increased testosterone levels, which can have an effect on the body and cause certain health risks. Too much of a good thing can be bad, as the saying goes.

These adverse effects include high blood pressure, liver damage, depression, and anxiety. It is important to only take the recommended dosage of any supplement and consult a doctor before taking any new ones. Additionally, be sure to monitor your testosterone levels regularly to ensure they remain within healthy ranges.

Making the Most of Your Daily Supplements

Set Specific Goals

Before starting a supplement routine, you should always have a goal in mind. Setting specific goals will help you plan your diet and supplement regimen to get the most out of it.

Start Slowly

Don't overdo it when starting a supplement regimen. If you're taking a supplement, start with a low amount and work your way up as your body adjusts.

Take Supplements Consistently

Supplements work best when taken consistently. Develop a schedule for taking your supplements and stick to them so that your body can benefit from them most.

Product Consistency

Be sure to stick with the same product if you find one that works for you. Different supplements or different brands may have different ingredients and dosages, so it's important to stay consistent to get full benefits from them.

Eat Healthily

Supplements may help you reach your fitness goals, but don't forget the importance of eating a balanced diet. To maximize the effectiveness of your supplements, aim for a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and lean meats.

Keep Track

Track your progress by writing down any changes you notice after taking a supplement and make adjustments to your regimen as needed. This will help you monitor your results so that you can make sure that you're getting the best out of your exercise and supplementation routines.

Dosage

Always adhere to the recommended dosage indicated on the bottle of any supplement you take. Taking more than what is advised can be dangerous and lead to serious adverse effects.

Common Questions About Using Supplements and Herbal Remedies

Are herbal supplements safe?

Herbal supplements are generally considered safe and can be an effective way to boost testosterone levels. However, it's important to do your research and consult with a doctor before taking any supplement to avoid potential adverse effects that you may not be aware of.

When will I feel the effects of taking a supplement?

Generally, it can take a few weeks for supplements to start working. Consistently taking your supplements as directed and waiting for them to take effect might be frustrating, but you should start to notice an improvement in your testosterone levels over time.

How often should I take my supplements?

It depends on the type of supplement you're taking. Most supplements should be taken daily to see the most benefit. However, always read the directions on the label and follow them carefully.

Using supplements and herbal remedies can be a great way to boost testosterone hormone levels and help improve the benefits of many workouts. Be sure to do your research, consult with a doctor, and take your supplements as directed to get the most benefit from them.

Final Thoughts

For those planning to transition from female to male, supplements can be an invaluable tool for reaching their fitness goals and staying healthy throughout their journey.

A testosterone-boosting supplement composition can be an effective way to increase testosterone levels in those who are experiencing a testosterone deficiency. Supplements can also be used to boost the benefits of workouts for trans-masc individuals, allowing for a higher level of intensity and more significant results.

Nonetheless, it's crucial to keep in mind that supplements shouldn't be your only strategy for success. A healthy diet and regular exercise still play an important role in improving overall health and wellness.

Follow the advice given above and know all the risks associated with taking supplements for FTM workouts, so you can safely use these products to help you transition and reach your health goals.
