WIP Wednesday
It's been a whiiile since we've done one of these, so I thought I'd start one! This excerpt is from the first chapter of my upcoming Bobcas villa fic, which I've been working on for the last few months (trying to write the whole thing before publishing):
He sees the tall blonde first, his hair flowing over his shoulders like a goddamn Greek god. It’s hardly fair the way his grin lights up his face and his laughter rings out like a song. The girls around him are practically drooling with lust as they hang on every word that drips out of his gorgeous mouth. He looks for Tess among the crowd, but she’s chatting with the other new guy, obscuring him from Bobby’s vision behind her tall figure, made even taller by her impossibly high heels. All he can see are the spiky black tips of the man’s hair, until Gary bulldozes his way through. And then he can see him, and all the air is sucked out of his lungs. If the blonde is a Greek god, then this guy is… well, whatever is greater than a god, if that’s even possible. He is absolutely stunningly gorgeous, with dark hair and eyes and the most perfectly chiselled jaw Bobby’s ever seen. When his eyes travel downwards, they see a model-like figure, with sculpted abs and a cut v-line leading to… Oh. Oh my. If Bobby weren’t already fully aware of his bisexuality, he would be having a crisis right now. He’s having a crisis anyway, judging by the way his dick is twitching in his shorts at the mere sight of the man. He might even be drooling. Oh god, he is drooling. And staring. And—
I'll tag @eskiix, @rebelrayne, @banirareiko, @thoracic-orchid, and @bypine!

Hold My Hand: John Wick x Reader Chapter 95
Tumblr media
warnings: nsfw hold my hand masterlist
Ever since John got his results back from his doctor, things have been amazing in the Wick household. The two of you have been actively trying to get pregnant, but you’ve had no luck so far. Your honeymoon was amazing, and exactly what the two of you needed. It was nice to be away, just you and John, and just spend time together not stressing out about test results.
It’s a few days before Halloween and you’re just getting the last of the things that you’ll need -- basically just more bags of candy. Jimmy is having a Halloween party tonight, and you’re so excited to finally see what John has decided to dress as. You’ve been guessing, but he’s kept such a tight lip on it that it’s been pissing you off.
Running into the house, you head for the guest bedroom, and John furrows his brow as he watches you run past. You didn’t bother to stop and say hi because you know he’ll try to get a look at your costume. You’ve done such a good job at hiding it from him, but you remembered you were forgetting one crucial piece of your costume.
“What are you doing?” John asks, knocking on the door, “Just let me see your costume.”
“No!” you playfully yell at him from the other side of the door, “You haven’t shown me yours yet.”
“Because…”
You open the door and cock up an eyebrow, “Because it’s a secret, right?”
“Well, yeah.” he laughs and looks over your shoulder to see if he can see your costume, and you lightly punch him in the stomach as he laughs, “Okay, okay, I’ll stop.”
“You only have to wait a few more hours.” you push past John and grab his hand to keep him from going into the guest bedroom. “I can’t wait to see your costume. I honestly have no idea what you’re going to be, I certainly can’t see you dressing as a vampire or something.”
John shakes his head and laughs, “No, not a vampire.”
“A…chef?” you ask, sitting down on the couch, and John shakes his head again. “A mime?”
“Nope.” he smiles.
“Hmm…” you tilt your head to the side and think. You have no idea what John could be going as. The possibilities are endless, and John always likes to surprise you.
John looks at his watch to check the time, then slaps his hands on his legs, “Well, I better go shower and start to get ready.”
“Very good idea.” you lean over to kiss John and smile, “Me, too.”
The two of you head your separate ways, and John leans over the staircase railing to see you again, “Hey…”
“What?”
John smiles, “Can’t wait to see your sexy costume.”
“I bet you can’t.” you laugh loudly as you lock yourself in the guest bedroom.
__
You’re looking at yourself in the mirror, trying your hardest not to laugh. John is expecting something sexy, and your costume is…well, it’s sexy to you. John, on the other hand, you don’t know how he’ll react. You’re just hoping he’s actually going to wear a costume.
There’s a knock at the door that startles you, and you open it up to see Tess wearing her costume.
“Oh, my god. You look so cute!” you gasp and hug her tight. “How very Madonna of you!”
Tess laughs as she fluffs up her hair in the mirror, “Jimmy wanted to wear matching 80s costumes, so I was told him there’s no way in hell I’m not going as the iconic ‘Like a Virgin’ Madonna.”
“But what are you doing here?”
“Just wanted to check up and see the progress,” Tess laughs, then she gestures you, “John is literally going to die when he sees you. I just saw him in the kitchen, and he’s fully convinced you’re going as like…some sexy librarian or something.”
You look at Tess, furrowing your brow, “Did he actually say librarian?”
Tess brushes you off and heads for the door, “Anyway, I’ll meet you over there.”
“Okay.” you lock the door behind Tess and grab your jacket from the bed to put it on. Smiling wide, you fix your top, then grab your heels to put them on. You take a long look at yourself in the mirror and grab the plastic gun that you had bought earlier today at the dollar store, then you take a deep breath and exhale, “I’m John Wick.”
__
You had convinced John to head over to the party before you. You knew you wanted to make an entrance, and right now, only Aurelio and Amanda are at the party to help set up. Tess is on the front lawn with her phone pressed to her ear.
“Okay, I just wanted to make sure that he’s being good.” she says and nods her head, “Thank you so much. We’ll be over to get him in the morning. We really appreciate this. Okay, bye.”
When Tess looks up and sees you, she laughs so loud that you have to press your hand to her mouth to keep everyone from looking outside.
“Shh!” you put your finger to your mouth as you laugh.
“Oh…my god.” Tess backs away a little and checks you out, “You’re John. Well, actually I think you need to like put some blood on your face or something.”
You pull out the tube of fake blood and laugh, “I have the idea of putting it on more and more throughout the night. Oh, and I have a fake gun too.”
“Why didn’t you slick your hair back though? He always combs it back when he works.” Tess asks, tucking your hair behind your ears. “There, I mean, at least leave it tucked behind your ear.”
You fluff your hair back out and squint your eyes as you walk past Tess, “You’re such a mom.”
Opening the door to Tess’ house, you see Jimmy moving a table to the back patio. Amanda is dressed as a bubble bee, and Aurelio as a bee-keeper. They look so cute and you want to squeal, but you have to keep up your John Wick act.
“I gotta act…cool.”
Tess laughs, “You think John is cool? He’s not.”
“Yes, I am.” you say, trying to make your voice deeper. “I’m really cool.”
Tess looks at you as she laughs and walks into the living room to talk to Amanda. You playfully stumble in behind Tess, and Aurelio gets off the couch to help you.
“I’m fine.” you say, putting your hand out, “I’m fine.”
“Are you serious?” Tess laughs, then shakes her head as she look at Aurelio, “She’s--”
“You’re John.” Aurelio laughs.
“John Wick.” you reach out to shake his hand and try your best John impression.
You look over your shoulder to see John walking through the back door, and you try your hardest not to laugh when you see him in a gray pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt to match.
As you stumble over to John, he laughs loudly, “Really?”
“I’m John Wick.” you smile.
John laughs and gestures to you, “I see that. I’m pretty sure I’m not as cute as you are though. I also don’t look as good in a pair of heels.”
You lean closer to John and whisper, “Don’t ask if I’m workin’, you already know the answer.”
Laughing quietly, John walks a little closer to you, unsure if you’re going to let him hug you, and he smiles when you reach out for him. He hugs you tight in his arms as more people begin to come into the house, and he leans back to see your face.
“You look so sexy.” he says, looking down at your shoes then up at your face, “No beard though. Is it weird how turned on I am by this? Because I’m finding this very hot.”
“As you should!” you laugh as you kiss John, “So, Mr. Balboa...”
John laughs as he shrugs, “I couldn’t think of anything. I sat on the couch for hours and turned on the TV, and they were playing Rocky. Simple enough outfit.”
“I like it.” you smile, scooting closer to him, “I like you in sweatpants, and your cute little stocking cap. A little disappointed that you’re not in the shorts and robe though.”
John lets out a loud laugh, “Yeah, sorry, you’re missing out on all of that.”
“Well,” you trail your finger down John’s beard as you smirk, “I’ll get to see it later.”
__
The party has been going great so far, and John has been eyeing you all night. He keeps winking at you and wiggling his eyebrows when you look at him, and he looks so damn hot that you can’t wait to get home tonight.
Jimmy has invited quite a few of his friends to the party, and you’ve been laughing at all of their costumes. Your favorite so far has been the chicken. The only problem with so many people in the house is that it’s so damn hot. Stepping out onto the back patio, you tilt your back and exhale, watching your warm breath in the cold air. You take off your suit jacket and lift your arms to allow some air to flow through your shirt to cool you down, then you shiver from the sudden rush of cold air.
A noise behind you that startles you, and you squint your eyes a little to see who is behind you, “Hello?”
“Oh, sorry,” a man says, stepping into the light more, “Didn’t mean to scare you. I just needed a cigarette.”
You laugh a little, “It’s okay, I just…thought I was alone. Good thing I didn’t start talking to myself, that would have been embarrassing!”
Reaching out to shake your hand, the man smiles, “Gary.”
“Gary, hi, I’m Y/N.” you squint your eyes a little to get a better look at his costume, “Hawaiian shirt and jeans.”
Gary holds up a fake mustache and smiles, “A mustache.”
You snap your fingers as you think, “Oh, oh, oh! Yes! Hopper from Stranger Things!”
“You’re good!” he laughs, tucking the mustache back in his pocket, “If we play games, I want you on my team. Okay, so let me guess what you are. Uh, I have no idea.”
“I’m my husband.” you laugh and put your jacket back on.
Gary furrows his brow a little as he takes a puff of his cigarette, “And your husband is…”
“John.” you say, then you quickly add in his last name since he seems to have no clue who you’re talking about. “He’s inside, he’s dressed as Rocky Balboa -- his favorite movie.”
“Hmm,” he drops his cigarette to the ground and steps on it, “Don’t think I know him. Won’t lie, I’m a little bummed that you’re married. It’s a shame that you’re not single.”
You chuckle nervously, “Oh, uh, I’m not sure how to respond to that.”
“Maybe you can…give me your number.”
A creepy smirk spreads across Gary’s face as he moves under the light a little more, and you take a step back when he stops closer again.
Okay. You’re uncomfortable now.
You give him a polite smile, then you move past him a little, but he blocks your way. Exhaling loudly, you look up at him and shake your head as you hold his gaze. What is it with drunk guys at parties? You were being friendly with him and talking to him, but he had to go and ruin it.
“Excuse you.”
Gary laughs, “You don’t like me, do you?”
“I don’t know you.” you say, taking a step to your right, but he moves with you. “Don’t do this. Trust me, you don’t want to do this.”
You’re starting to get cold from standing outside, and you’re also starting to get a little scared. Gary is just about as big as John, a little more hefty than him, but he’s pretty scary. You take another breath and roll your eyes before you turn around and head to the gate that leads to the front of the house.
Gary grabs your jacket and pulls you back to him, but you turn around and punch him hard in the face, causing him to stumble back a few steps with his hand over his mouth and nose.
As he stumbles back a few more steps, you inch your way around him and head inside, frantically looking around for John. He’s laughing with Aurelio and Tess, and he looks over at you, immediately changing his demeanor when he sees your face.
“What’s goin’ on?” he reaches for your hand and pulls you aside, and he looks down to see the blood on your hand, “What the fuck happened?”
“I…punched someone.” you look up at John in shock, and you start to laugh a little in disbelief, “I just punched a guy.”
Tess grabs your arm, “You what?”
“Gary, I punched him.” you look down at your hand and see it shaking, “He grabbed my arm, so I turned around and just…punched him.”
John looks at Tess and shakes his head, “Who’s Gary?”
“I don’t know.” she shrugs, “We don’t know a Gary.”
You look over Tess’ shoulder when he walks into the house, and you hide around the corner a little so he won’t see you. Pointing at him, you look at Tess and John, and you watch John’s eyes narrow as he looks at him. The look of pure anger on John’s face causes you to shiver, and you frown when he looks back you.
“I didn’t even do anything. He was just standing in the yard and I started talking to him because he was back there smoking -- I was just being nice. I guessed his costume, then he tried to guess mine, and I immediately told him that I was married and that I was dressed as my husband. I was just being nice, I just wanted to be nice. I’m sorry.”
John cups your face and shakes his head, “Don’t do that. Don’t start apologizing like you’ve done something wrong.”
“But this is the second time it’s happened.” you say as you start to cry, “I was just being nice.”
John looks at Tess and puts his hand on her shoulder, “Take her and get her cleaned up.”
Tess puts her hands on your shoulders and pushes you, but you look at John and reach out for him, “Don’t get arrested, please.”
“I won’t.” John laughs.
Tess turns around and looks at him, “Don’t kill him on our new rug. We just bought it.”
__
You’re sitting on Tess’ bed while she looks over your hand, and you sigh as you look down at it. The blood is cleaned off of it, and thankfully it’s not swollen or anything. It surprisingly doesn’t have any pain, probably because of the adrenaline.
“Looks good, goose.” Tess says, looking up at you. She rubs your back a little to get you to look at her, then she gives you a small smile, “It’s not your fault.”
“This has happened twice now. First Matt, now this.” you sigh again as you look away from Tess, “Should I just never talk to someone because they might take it the wrong way? I told him I was married and he just started hitting on me, I didn’t even flirt with him. I don’t flirt. I don’t know how! I flirt with John, but that’s different. He’s my husband.”
Tess sighs, “Some…men just don’t understand. It’s disgusting. This isn’t your fault. He’s gross, I don’t even know who he is. I didn’t invite him, and I’m pretty sure Jimmy doesn’t know him.”
“So, who is he?”
“I don’t know. He must have come with someone.” Tess says, and the two of you look up when someone knocks on the door.
“Hey,” John smiles, then he hides his left hand when he comes into room. You cock up your eyebrow a little as he kneels down in front of you, and he places his right hand on your thigh, “Are you okay?”
“Show me your hand.” you say, and John holds up his right hand. You give him a disapproving look as a smile tugs at his lips, “Your other hand, Jonathan.”
John inhales deeply as he holds up his left hand, and you grab it to look over, but you see it’s free of any cuts and it’s not bloody. You furrow your brow slightly as you look at him, and he laughs as he looks at you.
“So, you washed your hands before you came in here.” you say, crossing your arms. “Did you kill him?”
Tess excuses herself from the bedroom and leaves you and John alone, and he gets off the floor and sits down next to you on the bed. He puts his arm around your waist and pulls you over so you can lean against his shoulder.
“I didn’t kill him. I didn’t even hit him.” he says, shaking his head, then he starts to laugh, “I can’t believe you punched him. What did you do?”
You look at John and make a fist, “I did what you taught me: decked him in the nose.”
“Oh, it’s broken. Well, if it wasn’t before…” he says, and you bite your lip to keep yourself from smiling. “I didn’t hit him because I didn’t get to him first. A few other women said he was weird with him. Amanda said that he…groped her, so…”
“I bet Aurelio was pissed. I’d be more afraid of Amanda though. You and your friends love strong women, don’t you?” you say, and John laughs quietly as he nods. “I’m sorry that this happened. I mean, I know it’s not my fault. I really was just being friendly. You know that I wouldn’t do that to you, right?”
John furrows his brow, “What? Cheat on me?”
“Yeah.”
Turning to face you more, John looks you in the eyes and nods his head, “I know. I know you love me. I trust you. Do you doubt that?”
“Well, no. And I trust you. I’ve said before that I could put you in a room with the most beautiful woman in the world and I would trust you.”
John starts to smile, and you roll your eyes before he can even say something cheesy. “You’re the most beautiful woman in the world.”
“Anyway.” you laugh as you look at John, “Seriously, I’m sorry our night was ruined.”
John gets up from the bed and stands in front of you, “It’s not ruined.”
John pulls you up from the bed and wraps his arms around you before he leans down and kisses you several times in hopes that it’ll take your mind off of things. He exhales as he lets go of you and looks down at your hands, inspecting them a little.
John presses a delicate kiss to your knuckles, then he looks at you and smiles, “You really are John Wick tonight. Dangerous little woman.”
Tilting your head back, you laugh as you look at him, “I just…didn’t even think. I shouldn’t have hit him though, that was a little out of line. I should have just pushed him.”
“No, you should have punched him.” he says, cupping your face, “I’m so proud of you. I worry about you so much, but it’s nice to know that you’re able to take care of yourself. Not that I ever doubted it since you’ve been kicking my ass lately when we would practice.”
Leaning closer to John, you wrap your arms around his neck and lock eyes with him as you bite your lip, “Why don’t we just go home? The party is almost over anyway.”
“You sure?” he asks, moving his hands down your back and underneath your jacket.
You bite your lip as you nod your head, “Yeah.”
__
Stumbling into the house, John pulls your jacket off and tosses it to the ground as he kisses you. He doesn’t even bother to unbutton your shirt, he simply rips it open, and you hear the buttons fall to the floor. He stops kissing you when he feels the plastic gun you have tucked into the back of your pants, then he holds it up and laughs.
“You got a gun?”
You ignore John and continue kissing his neck, “Keep kissing me.”
John drops the gun to the floor and lifts you up to wrap your legs around his waist, and it turns you on even more how effortless it was for him. He pins your body against the wall as he kisses you, then he opens your shirt a little more to get a look at your chest.
“You look so fucking sexy tonight.” he says, kissing down your chest and in between your breasts. “I’ve wanted to fuck you the moment I saw you.”
Letting out a small moan, you tilt your head back as John continues kissing your neck, but you stop him when you realize he’s going to leave behind marks. You wrap your arms around him tighter as he walks over and sets you down on the arm of the couch, and his lips are persistent on yours as you pull his sweatpants down, revealing his cock.
“We’re not going to make it to the bedroom, are we?” you laugh against John’s lips.
John shakes his head as he continues kissing you, “We haven’t the last four times.”
“Well, how about we at least make it to the guest bedroom?” you say, pointing over his shoulder.
John scoops you into his arms and shuffles into the bedroom, trying his best not to fall since his pants are around his ankles. He plops you down on the bed, then he kicks his shoes off so he can finally take off his pants. As John undresses himself, you sit up to take off your heels, then you lay back on the bed and remove your pants as you watch him.
The room is dark since it’s nearly midnight, so you reach over and turn on the lamp next to the bed so you’ll be able to see John. You lick your lips and hold John’s gaze as he crawls on the bed, then he leans down to kiss you, slipping his tongue into your mouth as the two of you moan. John opens his eyes to look at you, and he smiles as he leans back in to kiss you again. Propping himself up, he kisses and licks a path from in between your breasts to your belly button, then back up to your chest.
“John…” you whimper a little, tilting your head to the side so he can kiss your neck. “Will you do something for me?”
John sits up and nods, “Of course. I’d do anything for you.”
You smile as you look at him, rubbing your thumb against his beard, “Will you fuck me?”
“Oh, I can do that.” he nods, pulling off your bra, “I can definitely do that.”
You wrap your arms around John’s neck as he slowly slides himself between your legs, and you open your mouth to moan, feeling the pressure between your hips. You widen your legs more to allow him to slide in further, and you watch as John’s eyes roll shut.
John rocks his hips slowly at first, but he quickly picks up the pace as you pull your knees into your chest. You lay on your side a little and put one leg over John’s shoulder as he bucks his hips wildly, and he hums happily.
“Harder, baby.” you whine and feel John grabbing at your breast as he grunts. “Harder!”
John laughs as he leans down to kiss you, “I will tear you in half. I don’t want to hurt you, baby.”
Placing your hands on John’s ass, you push him in further and arch your back when he hits your hidden spot relentlessly. You’re tipping over the edge already, and every nerve in your body is pulled so fucking tight, you think they all might snap.
John’s mouth envelopes yours, and he bites your lip as he lays down on top of you, still thrusting his hips hard and pushing himself in deeper. The sound of John’s cock between your legs turns you on even more, and John looks down to watch himself. He lets out a moan that is so loud that it takes the two of you by surprise, and he shakes his head as he smiles when you look up at him.
“So fucking delicious.” he whispers against your cheek, “Does that feel good? Huh? When I fuck you like this?”
“Yeah,” you whine loudly as you squeeze your eyes shut.
He pulls out and lays down behind you, then lifts your leg back up to insert himself again. He holds your leg as he jerks his hips hard, and he rubs circles on your clit as you whimper and moan.
“Fuck, John.” your body shakes from pleasure, and you try to close your legs, but John keeps a good grip on your thigh as he gives his last few thrusts before he fills you up.
“Oh, my god, baby.” John pulls you close to his chest and kisses your neck as he continues to slowly thrust his hips. “Fuckin’ hell.”
You roll your hips lazily, still shaking from the pleasure, and you moan loudly into your blanket. The two of you are breathing heavily and your mouth is going dry from panting so damn loud, but it’s hard to catch your breath. You can tell John is afraid to pull out, but you start to move off of him and he holds tight to your hip.
“No, not yet.” he whispers, “Give it another minute. Just in case.”
You laugh loudly and wiggle back down on John’s cock, “Fine.”
John’s arms are so warm and comforting that you’re beginning to fall asleep in his embrace. You look over your shoulder a little and pucker your lips to kiss him a few times.
“I love you.” you whisper, finally rolling over to face him. “I love you so much.”
John laughs and looks at the ceiling, and you notice his eyes are a little glassy from tears.
“Hey,” you sit up a little and look at him with a genuine concern, “Hey, what’s going on?”
“I just love you so much, and I can’t wait to have a family with you. I couldn’t imagine doing it with anyone else.” he wraps his arms around you and pulls you onto his chest.
You chuckle softly as you look up at study his features, “You’re the sweetest man I’ve ever known, you know that?”
__
It’s finally Halloween, and you’re beyond excited to see all of the kids in their costumes. The book shop is having a little party for kids, and if they come in with a costume on, they get a free book! Any book of their choice! Totally John’s idea.
Employees are more than welcome to dress up, and you’re so happy to see that Grace is dressed up -- Little Bo Peep. Tony is dressed in a onesie that looks like a sheep, and you have to laugh at how unbelievably obvious they are about dating. They’re trying their hardest to hide it from you and John, but you’re not oblivious. You and John are the last people to ever judge anyone for dating, and you have no problems with them dating as long as they don’t let it affect their jobs.
John is sitting in a chair near the front door so he can give all of the kids a gift bag when they come in, and you smile as you grab your purse and head over to stand next to him. He’s been sitting there all afternoon and greeting kids, and you’ve been internally screaming over how absolutely adorable he is.
“I am…a…robot.” Benji says, mimicking a robot, and Amanda laughs when you look at her. “Need…candy.”
John laughs, “You’ll have to come to the house later for candy.”
You lean down a bit and smile, “We got all your favorites!”
Benji looks up at Amanda and tugs at her shirt, “Can we please go to their house tonight?”
You laugh as you nudge Amanda, “We live in a rich neighborhood. Full size candy bars.”
Benji widens his eyes even more as he looks up at Amanda, and she laughs as he nods her head, “Yes, baby, we will go to their house tonight.”
“Hey,” you pat John’s shoulder and look at him, “I have to run to the store and grab a few things, so I’m gonna take off a little early.”
John nods, “Okay.”
Leaning down, you kiss John a few times, then you smile at him before you leave the shop. As you head for your car, you try to contain yourself, but your excitement is a little overwhelming. You’re not even sure, but you figure you should just do it anyway. You need to take a pregnancy test.
__
John called you to let you know that he was closing up the shop and that he’ll be on his way home soon, and you’re frantically running through the house to try and get into the bathroom to take the pregnancy test before he gets home. Your period is a few days late, so you’re starting to get a little suspicious. You don’t really feel any different, but that doesn’t really mean anything at this point.
You sigh as you look down at the box of pregnancy tests, then you look up when you see John standing the doorway to the bathroom -- he’s much quieter than you’d realized.
John looks down at the box in your hands, then he smiles when he looks at you, “Do you want me here for this?”
Leaning back against the sink, you bite your lip nervously, “I don’t know if I want to take it yet.”
“Why not?” John asks as he walks closer.
“Because we’re about to have a bunch of little kids show up at our house, and I don’t want my mind to be occupied with something else. I don’t know. I don’t want it to come back negative, then I have to sit and watch kids come up to our house for an hour while I try to hold back tears.”
John nods, “That makes perfect sense.”
“And if it’s positive, I just want to sit in your arms all night and we can’t do that if kiddos are coming to the house.” you say as you place the test on the counter and look up at John, “So much for surprising you.”
“I had no idea you were even in here, I just came up here so I could use the bathroom.” he laughs, and you move past him to let him have the bathroom. “Hey, come here for a minute.”
You walk back over to John and place your hands in his, “What?”
“No matter what the result will be, it’s going to happen. Okay?”
Inhaling deeply, you look up at John, plastering a fake smile on your face, “Okay.”
You close the bathroom door behind you, then you head downstairs to get things ready for trick-or-treaters. You know that you’re a little too eager to take this test, but you’re just really wondering if you’re pregnant. You’re excited, you’re scared, it’s understandable.
Biting your cheek, you mindlessly get the candy ready and step out onto the porch to light the candles in the pumpkins that you and John have carved, then you turn on the porch light to let the kids know that you’re home.
You inhale deeply again and exhale slowly, “Just stay calm.”
__
Since it’s warmer tonight, you and John decided to get the camping chairs and just sit at the end of the driveway. It’s a bit of a long driveway anyway, so you know kids will be a little tired. John is still passing out candy, and he’s so sweet and cute with all the little kids. They’re getting a kick out of Bleu, who is wearing a teddy bear costume. The packs of kids are beginning to dwindle down now that it’s getting later, but there are still a few kids on the block coming up the street.
You’re in the kitchen getting yourself something to drink as quick as you can since Amanda has texted you to let you know that she’s on her way over with Harper and Benji. Tess is also coming over with Finn too!
Walking back down the driveway, you see John sitting in the chair as he talks with a little boy about his costume.
“Spider-Man.” the little boy says, then he sprays John with silly string. “That’s my web.”
“I’m so sorry.” his mom laughs, reaching over to pull the silly string out of John’s hair, “I nearly begged him not to bring that with, but kids, you can’t resist their cute little faces.”
John laughs, “Hey, I get it.”
“Sorry again, you have some, uh…” she reaches over and pulls silly string out of John’s hair, leaning a little closer to make sure she’s gotten it all. She finally looks up at you and smiles, then she stands up and reaches for her son, “Happy Halloween.”
“Happy Halloween.” John says, waving at the little boy as he walks down the driveway. He looks over his shoulder at you and smiles, “Come join me.”
You sit back down next to John and look over at him, “I’m getting really anxious to take this test. I’m starting to feel sick.”
“Hey,” he reaches over and touches your cheek, “Everything will be okay.”
“I’m totally going to be a chronic tester.” you say, and John furrows his brow like he doesn’t quite understand what you mean. “I’m going to take a pregnancy test every damn time I feel any difference in my body. We have sex, and I’ll immediately take a test a few days later. I’m already starting to do it.”
John sits back in his chair as he holds your hand, “Well, we’ll just buy tests every time we go to the store then.”
Laughing quietly, you look over at John, “I love how much you indulge me.”
__
“You can do this.” you whisper to yourself as you stand in front of the toilet.
John wraps his arms around your waist and presses a kiss to your cheek, “I’ll be just outside the door. Well, I mean, I’ll be in the bedroom, I won’t just be standing right outside the door.”
You look over your shoulder at him and nod, “Okay.”
John gives you a reassuring smile before he leans down to kiss you several times, then he leaves you alone in the bathroom. Unwrapping the pregnancy test, you begin to shake a little as you unbutton your jeans. You stick the test between your legs and close your eyes as you try your best to pee on the stick. On second thought, you should have just peed in a cup and put the stick in it, but you’re here now.
Quickly putting the cap back on the test, you set it on the counter and finish using the bathroom and washing your hands before you join John in the bedroom. He looks down at his watch for the time, and he smiles when you sit down next to him.
“You’re so quiet.” John says, wrapping his arm around your waist, “What’s goin’ on in that head of yours?”
You exhale, laughing a little, “I don’t know. I’m starting to feel like I’m not pregnant. I feel like I jumped the gun on this one.”
John rubs his hand over your back and leans over to kiss your head, “Yeah, but we should take one just in case. Because what if you are, and you drink? Or what if you’re pregnant and we don’t know, and something happens and you get into a car accident?”
You laugh loudly, “I can’t believe how sweet you are.”
Reaching over for the test, you hold it in your hands and look up at John as he begins to grow a little more nervous. You reach up and touch John’s face as you lean over to give him a warm kiss. He inhales deeply as he kisses you, pulling you closer to him and into his lap. The kisses are slow and wet, and you wrap your arm around John’s neck as you get situated on his lap.
John leans back and cups your face, rubbing his thumb against the apple of your cheek, “No matter what, this is just one test. We’ll keep trying every month until we get it right.”
“Yeah,” you nod as you get a little teary-eyed. “Here we go.”
You flip the test over and see the thick pink line indicating that you’re not pregnant, and you immediately lean your head against John’s shoulder as you cry. He tugs the test from your hands and wraps both of his arms around you, letting you cry it out for a few moments.
“Baby, look at me.” John whispers, and you lean back to look at him. “This is one test. Just one! We’ll try again.”
“It’s not. It’s two! We took one over the summer.”
John smiles slightly, “That doesn’t even count. You had just gotten off your birth control but it was still in your body.”
You wipe away the tears on your cheeks and sigh, “But what if we keep trying and you get tired of it?”
John laughs, “You think I’m going to get tired of having sex with you?”
“Well, no.” you shrug as you look down, “But I don’t want you to think I’m like…barren or something.”
John lets out another laugh as he holds you tight and lays back on the bed, “I don’t think that, and I would never think that. We know you’re not, we went to the doctor to make sure of it.”
“I just know how bad you want kids, and I want to give that to you.” you admit as you look over at John, “I want kids too. I want us to have a really cute baby!”
John trails his finger over your face and down to your lips, “And we’ll have that. This is just one time, baby. We’ll try again. When do you get your period next?”
“Well, it’s late.” you shrug, “But I’ll probably get it tomorrow. I can already feel the cramps coming. So, we could have avoided this whole situation if I had just waited until tomorrow.”
Letting out a small laugh, John look at you and smiles, “It’s okay. It was fun to think that it was happening.”
You roll over onto your stomach and look at John, and you wrap your right arm over his stomach, “It will happen. Soon, I promise.”
“Isn’t it funny how I was reassuring you a minute ago, and now you’re reassuring me?” John chuckles, “See? This is why we’re perfect for each other.”
You close your eyes as John sits up to kiss your cheek, then you lay back and look at him as he lays down next to you. He gently rubs his nose against yours as you smile, then you open you eyes and reach over to cup his face.
“It’s going to happen.” he whispers against your lips, “We just need to be patient.”
“Yeah, I know.” you sit up and sigh, then you look over at John, “We should go get some ice cream because I’m sad.”
John laughs as he gets off the bed, “Anything for you, peach.”
Reaching up for John’s hand, you hold tight to it and smile when he leans over to kiss your cheek before the two of you head to the stairs. John stands in front of you and holds your gaze as you look up at him, and you laugh quietly when he raises his eyebrows.
“It’s going to happen.” he whispers, nodding his head.
You nod, “I know.”
“Don’t get down on yourself about it,” John pulls you into his arms and kisses your cheek, “We got this, baby.”
“We do.”
A smile grows on John’s face as he slides his hands down to your ass, “We can always...practice.”
“Yeah, sure.” you scoff as you look up at John, then you yelp loudly when he lifts you up and carries you back to the bedroom.

A Dynamite Case (Chapter one of my Dick Tracy story based on the Sega Video Game)
Chapter 1
In the center of town is Mike's Diner. It was an old rundown building of a restaurant, but it still brought in plenty of customers daily. The building had worn white paint, rusted chromed sidings  and only seven of its titled neon lights functioned properly.  Its owner was Mike Mitchell. An ironically little man from the big state of Texas. He was ever eager to fill your empty glass or listen to your troubles in life. He was much like a good bartender without the liquor license. Inside the diner sat only a few of his regulars. On a stool and sitting at the bar was Gary Bends. He came in every Friday night and ordered a bowl of chili. Without a single word muttered, he’d inhale the chili, pay Mike, then leave until the following Friday.  Rod Carson sat in the back reading the paper and nursing a coffee. In the center red leather booth was his favorite regulars. The radiant Tess Trueheart was watching her now adopted son, Junior, eat a piece of fried chicken like he hadn’t eaten in days. Her dazzling green eyes were wide in surprise at Junior’s eating habits. The Kid really knew how to put away food. Sitting across from them at the table was her husband, Detective Dick Tracy. He was too busy looking at a stack of folders to miss Junior’s eating habits.  “Slow down!” she ordered. “That chicken isn’t going anywhere.”
“Sorry,” Junior said with a piece of meat wedged in his mouth.
 “Yeah, eat your food,” said Tracy absent mindedly pretending to be part of the conversation.
 Tess nudged Tracy’s shin with her toe. “That’s the problem,” she said with a smirk.
 Tracy looked up from the files and met Tess’s annoyed stare. He gazed at Junior to see grease and bit of fried flake all over his mouth. “Oh!  Heavens, kid. You mauled that thing.”
   He got up from the table to get some more napkins. Mike stood at the ready with a whole roll of paper towel. “God be with you,” he chuckled. Tracy smirked with thanks. He gave the roll to Junior to wipe himself off.
   “Are you still going over  those purse snatchings?” asked Tess nodding towards Tracy’s folders.
“Hmm mmm,” hummed Tracy. “It’s annoying to no end. The only thing we have going on is that they are all young children. Either no one is there to catch the act or apprehend the children.”  
  “Cops can’t catch little kids?” chuckled Tess.
   “You obviously haven’t seen the shape of some of our officers.”
  “Like Mr. Patton,” quipped Junior. “I can outrun him one legged.”
“Shut up and maul your chicken, Kid.” quipped Dick. That’s when his Two Way Radio chipped in.
“Sam Catchem to Dick Tracy. Come in Tracy.”
Tracy shot Tess an apologetic look. “Go ahead, Sam. This is Tracy.”
“We received an anonymous tip that some of Big Boy’s goons were spotted at the train yard.”
Alphonse ‘Big Boy’ Caprice was a menace upon this city. He was the lieutenant to crime boss, Lips Manlis. For years Tracy had been trying to put Big Boy away. Lines were blurred between it being his mission and a personal vendetta. But because of corrupt officials and dirty cops, Caprice managed to walk every time.  
Upon hearing Big Boy’s name, Tess felt her heart sink to her stomach. She knew without a doubt that Caprice was the one who murdered her father. Her family owned a small greenhouse within the city. The mob was trying to force their way into getting profits as ‘protection money’ from small businesses. Caprice was the thug sent to collect from her upstanding father. Because he refused to cooperate, Big Boy shot her father and burned down the greenhouse. Corrupted DAs and the previous filthy Police Chief never convicted Big Boy or even bothered to follow up on Mr. Trueheart’s murder. The only one who was dedicated to see Caprice behind bars was Tess’s police officer boyfriend, Dick Tracy. Several years later and a promotion to detective, Tracy was getting close to bringing the criminal down once and for all.
   “Alright, Sam,” responded Tracy. I’ll look into it right away.” He cut off the Wrist Radio and turned to Tess. “I’m sorry. But I’ll be back.” He reached into his pocket and slapped some money on the counter. “Whatever is there, use this to cover the garbage disposal.” He gave Tess a quick kiss and a tussle upon Junior’s mess of red hair. He scooped up the police files and grabbed his yellow fedora and trenchcoat from the rack. Tracy gave Mike a nod before stepping out from the diner and into the streets.
