A Family Promotion | Over the Rainbow Series

previous part | masterlist | next part

Dragon & Rooster Masterlist | Opposites Attract Masterlist

✧ synopsis: Dragon & Rooster's family is growing, and Maverick earns a promotion

✧ word count: 1.6k

✧ warnings: pregnancy, mentions of past miscarriage, mentions of PTSD, mentions of parental death

Many people wondered why Dragon and Rooster ever told anyone about them being pregnant. She had asked herself the same question after her first miscarriage. Why did she ever tell Phoenix or Val or Bob or anyone for that matter. She hated the looks that they gave her. The way they wanted to coddle her and treat you like she was some fragile human being.

Dragon Trace-Bradshaw was anything but fragile. But, at the same time, she was okay with the fact that she had told her friends and family about the pregnancy, it made it easier to go through the heartbreak. Both Grace and Bradley had people by their side to help them pick up the pieces, people who kept their minds busy and made them laugh so hard that they cried.

Rooster had planned a small family dinner, which he felt like was the best way to share the news. They both decided to wait and tell the dagger squad, wanting to keep the news within their family circle, which meant Maverick, Penny, Phoenix and now Luke. Dragon had put together a small frame with the baby’s ultrasound in it. She had framed it with the last two first ultrasounds, and they both sat on the shelf in the half finished nursery.

The house was filled with the scent of pasta and oregano. Dragon had been craving an old family recipe, and decided to make it. She also made some homemade bread and zucchini. Rooster had been banished from the kitchen and decided to clean the house while you cooked. He was just excited as Dragon was to tell his family. Though, it was times like these that he still had his parents around to tell them the news. He could only imagine how excited they would be to become grandparents. Knowing his mom, Carole Bradshaw would already be thinking of what fabric patterns to use to make a baby blanket.

Phoenix and Luke were first to arrive, always showing up on time. She sat in the kitchen and talked with her sister while Rooster showed Luke his new lawn mower (something that he had been dying to show the whole dagger squad). Maverick and Penny arrived next, Penny coming with a bottle of wine and Maverick being pulled out to the garage to see Rooster’s latest gadget.

“Dragon, you look amazing,” Penny said, “How is everything going?”

“Things are… going,” Dragon said, not wanting to give anything away.

“How many did you have after this last round?” Phoenix asked, “Rooster told me you guys had six make it through.”

“Yeah, we had six make it through fertilization and we implanted two,” Dragon answered, “If this doesn’t take… I think we’ll be done,” She hated thinking of the worst case scenario, but it was always hanging in the back of her mind like a dark cloud, “I don’t think he or I can take another loss. It’s hard to go through that loss, if you can even call it that. I still don’t quite understand it all.”

“It will all work out,” Penny said, hugging Dragon. She didn’t know when she first met the dark haired bartender that she would have such a close relationship as they do now.

When The Bradshaws had lost Ida, their beautiful daughter who had been born sleeping, Dragon shut everyone out, including Rooster. He felt out of options as he watched his wife lay in bed and stare at the ceiling. He resorted to calling the closest mother figure that he had for help. Penny had come over without a moment of hesitation and shared with Dragon something that she had never told anyone else. She had gone through her own loss before she conceived Amelia. She knew the pain that Dragon was going through. She knew how it felt to feel like she had done something wrong, when in reality it wasn’t her fault at all. Dragon had never been more thankful to have a friend by her side at the moment.

Dragon announced that dinner was ready and pulled the men out of the garage. Rooster had gone from showing off his lawn mower to the new string trimmer he had gotten. Everyone grabbed a plate and then settled at the dining room table. Small talk flowed naturally as everyone ate. Dragon basically had to hold Rooster down from him bursting with excitement at telling everyone the news. Once everyone was starting to finish up, she squeezed Rooster’s hand, giving him the go ahead to tell them the news.

“So, we invited you guys over for more than looking at my new lawn mower and eating the fantastic meal that Dragon made,” Rooster said. He set your conjoined hands on the table and looked at her, his eyes full of love and adoration, “She’s pregnant.”

“Are you serious?” Penny asked, a bright smile on her face.

“Wait what-“ Phoenix said looking between her sister and brother-in-law, “No fucking way…”

“Yeah,” Dragon said. Maverick gave her a knowing smile, and she squeezed Rooster’s hand again, “I’m pregnant!”

“Oh my god!” Phoenix said and stood up to hug her sister, “How far along are you? How are you feeling?”

“About 8 weeks,” Dragon said, sitting back down, “We had our first ultrasound last week with Doctor Collins. I feel okay, just very, very emotional. I cried at an ASPCA commercial.”

“Okay but in your defense, those commercials are very sad,” Luke said.

Dragon settled back in her chair and watched her family talk. It felt good telling them, like a small weight had been lifted off her shoulders. It brought her comfort to know if something happened, she wouldn’t have to go through it alone. Dragon looked over at her husband, who smiled at her and placed a quick kiss on her cheek before falling back in conversation with Maverick about who is going to teach their baby how to fly.

— — —

Rooster and Maverick took on the chore of cleaning up after dinner, allowing Phoenix, Dragon and Penny to talk out on the patio. Luke had left early to go take care of Piper, but not before wishing Dragon and Rooster congratulations on their pregnancy announcement and for including him. Phoenix would never say it out loud, but her and Luke were more serious than she liked to admit, but Dragon could see right through it. Maverick was on dish drying duty as Rooster washed the plates. Occasionally a smile would grace his face at the sound of laughter from the backyard. It was nice to hear his wife’s laughter. Maverick looked over at his godson, noticing the look on his face.

If someone would’ve told Maverick two years ago that he would be standing in Rooster’s kitchen, cleaning plates after a family dinner with his family, Maverick would’ve called you stupid. He never imagined that this day would come, that he would reconcile his broken relationship with the man he considered to be his son. The reconciliation after the Uranium Mission didn’t come instantly, it still took some time for Rooster to trust and forgive Maverick. It took Maverick coming clean for the real reason why he pulled Rooster’s academy papers. It had broken the two of them in pieces, but it was vital that Rooster knew the truth and that Maverick let go of it.

“You know,” Maverick said, breaking the silence in the kitchen, “Your folks would love her.” Rooster nodded, “Carole would’ve been gushing over her and Goose probably would’ve been giving you hell about her beating you for first place.”

Rooster laughed at that, mainly because it was true, “She’s the better pilot,” He said, drying his hands, “Just don’t tell her I said that.”

“Secrets safe with me,” Maverick nodded, “But above all. . .they would be proud of how you stuck by her.”

Rooster clenched his jaw and looked down at his wedding ring. Never had the thought of leaving Dragon cross his mind. The day she told him about her fertility issues and that she wouldn’t be mad if he left, broke his heart. He hated that the thought had even crossed her mind. Being with her was all he wanted, children would be great, but getting Dragon for the rest of his life. . . that was all he wanted.

“I know you never tried to take my dad’s place,” Rooster said, “But, you’ve always been more than just ‘Uncle Mav’ to me,” He sucked in a breath, and walked into the living room, Maverick trailing behind him. Rooster grabbed a small gift wrapped box that was sitting on the mantle, “Dragon asked if this was okay before she bought it, and honestly, I don’t think I would have it any other way.”

Rooster handed the box to Maverick, the man’s blue eyes looking into his. Rooster gave him a small nod, and Maverick ripped the paper off the box. He took the top off gently, tears brimming his eyes as he looked at the iron-on patch sitting in the box. He ran his fingers over gold stitching and looked up at Rooster.

“I know you thought your next promotion would be to rear admiral, but I think ‘grandpa’ might be better.”

“And safer!” Dragon’s voice quipped up from behind Maverick. He turned around and looked at his ‘daughter-in-law’ (for lack of a better term). She walked over to her husband, and Rooster wrapped his arm around his waist, “Don’t feel like you have to accept this, we don’t- oh!” Dragon was cut off by Maverick pulling her into a hug. She smiled and patted his back.

“Thank you,” Maverick said and pulled back from her. He looked up at Rooster. It was as if Goose himself was standing in the living room. Maverick knew that Rooster feared about what type of man he would be when he grew up. He worried if he would be a man that his mother and father would be proud of.

“They would be so proud of you, Bradley.”

Oregano.

Alpha! Werewolf! Shouta x Luna! reader. Summer Rut.

(I do not own My Hero Academia or the characters within. Anything associated with that fandom belongs to Horikoshi Kohei. This story belongs to my 2023 Spice-tober collection. I hope you enjoy. If this story isn’t your cup of tea, blend of spices, or brew of coffee move on. Reader discretion is advised.)

TW: Omegaverse shenanigans, Sex scene, impregnation. WC: 965

The weather outside was warm and sunny, you could feel the rays of sun beaming down on your skin as you walked through the forest. Little did you know was that you were being hunted by a wolf. Not just any wolf, but that of a werewolf. You arrived back at you small log cabin that was far away from any form of civilization or other people from your walk and barricaded your door behind you as you put your kettle on for some oregano and mint tea. As you waited for the water to boil, you began a fire in your fireplace to begin warming your house for the cold of that fall evening. After you made your tea, you got settled into your chair by the fireplace with your book and listened to the beginning patters of raindrops on your glass windows which was a very soothing noise that helped you relax and enjoy your book. After a couple of hours enjoying your book, you looked up to see that night had fallen, and you wanted to prepare a quick dinner. You did so and as you were cooking, you felt as if something was watching you from the not-so-distant forest that surrounded the cabin that you resided in. You peered out the window from your loft where your nest was and saw a pair of big yellow glowing eyes looking up at you from the edge of the forest under the big full moon. You rolled your eyes and climbed back down the ladder to your front door which you unlocked and peered outside.

“Shouta? I know it’s you out there and I know you are here because you’re in rut. Stop it with all the mysteriousness and get over here.” You called out and you saw the werewolf stride from the edge of the forest and walk up to you, putting one arm up and leaning against the doorframe. As usual, he wasn’t wearing a shirt, only a pair of rather tight blank shorts that showed off every muscle under the thin cloth, and you could smell his scent of pine and coffee from the edge of the forest, but now that he was closer, the scent was stronger and you were now picking up the pheromones and boy, were they making your mind fuzzy. He smirked and you let him into the cabin, where he helped you into his arms and up into your loft where he laid you down in your nest and kissed you deeply. When he pulled back, he brushed your hair out of the way to check where your mark was that he gave you the last time he came to your cabin for his rut. The mark was a little faded as it had been a month but he would make sure the mark would be fresh and bright for the next month that he would be out in the woods and away from you. That might change though after this rut.

“Mmm, I see that my mark has faded. I’ll give you a new one, shall I?” He asked as a rhetorical question as you knew that you were his. He bit down on your neck, refreshing your mark and earning a moan from your lips that was music to his ears. He pulled back, licking the small drops of blood from his lips as he used his claws to tear off his shorts and line up his cock with your already dripping entrance.

“Already wet for me? Did smelling my scent send you into heat like it did last time?” He asked as he wrapped your legs around his waist and slid his cock into you, all the way up to his knot where he pushed it in with some difficulty as it was very swollen with his seed. You moaned when his knot was in and he let out a deep groan that rumbled out from his chest. Your entrance gushed out more slick to help lubricate his girth so it would slide in deeper so he could have a better chance of getting you pregnant with his pups. He began to thrust into you now that everything between the two of you was well-lubricated so he could move with ease. You held onto the sheet below you as you were being roughly banged with a hard amount of pressure from your Alpha. You let out a string of moans that mixed with the slapping noise if his balls against your ass. His pace picked up and you felt your inner walls clamp down on his knot, helping him to release deep into your womb, staying still for a few minutes while still inside of you and laid down next to you. He kissed you and rubbed your stomach, in hope that he got you pregnant this time. You came down from your high slowly, looking over at him and smiled.

“Are you going to leave before the sun comes up again?” You asked as you remembered your nest always being void of him when you woke up the next morning. “I think I’ll stay this time.” He spoke and kissed your cheek. “I’d like that.” You told him and smiled, kissing him back before you dozed off in his arms. He pulled out of you and fell asleep soon after. The End.

lowkey, everyday paganism Day 4

(shoe / foot tracking)

Shoe and foot tracking magic is a type of folk magic that is very simple to perform. This is a great one for those who are just starting out and are new to the practice!

•Are you in school and have a test coming up?

•Are you on the lookout for a new job?

~You can place a bay leaf in your shoe for extra luck and support as you’re walking through life!

•Are you dealing with a bully or someone who is overbearing for you?

~You can write their name and place it in your shoe to get a foot on them and claim your space.

*typically you may place the item in the dominant foot’s shoe. To emphasize a message you may place it in both.

Always be mindful of where you step:

Our feet are almost always on the ground so it wouldn’t be too surprising for someone “unfriendly” to throw their bad intentions toward us through the ground.

Ex: Stepping in sulfuric powders

If you think you may have stepped in something yucky with the bad energy, give yourself a good foot soak with epsom salts, herbs, and oil. Clean that gunk off! Rinse off the bottom of those shoes as well!

Honorable mentions:

•Rue- a great herb for spiritual protection. Though if you are pregnant/are planning to in the very near future, do NOT use rue.

• Oregano- used to attract positive energy and attain clarity

• Mercury dime- you can find anklets with mercury dimes from sellers online! When this comes in contact with sulfur, it turns black- a fast sign that you may have stepped in something.

Herbs For Health: Your Guide To Natural Healing

In a world dominated by modern medicine, the healing power of herbs often takes a back seat. However, for centuries, civilizations across the globe have harnessed the medicinal properties of herbs for maintaining health and treating various ailments. As we navigate the complexities of contemporary healthcare, there is a growing interest in returning to nature’s remedies.

This blog explores the world of herbs for health, offering you a comprehensive guide to natural healing.

The Wisdom of Nature Before the advent of pharmaceuticals, our ancestors turned to the healing properties of herbs to address their health concerns. Plants contain a myriad of compounds that interact with our bodies in unique ways, providing relief and promoting overall well-being. Unlike synthetic drugs, herbs often have fewer side effects, making them an appealing option for those seeking natural alternatives.

Popular Healing Herbs 1. Turmeric: Known for its vibrant yellow color, turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound. Studies suggest that turmeric helps to alleviate conditions such as arthritis and inflammation. 2. Ginger: A versatile herb, ginger is celebrated for its anti-nausea properties and ability to ease digestive discomfort. It’s also recognized for its anti-inflammatory effects, potentially aiding in the management of conditions like osteoarthritis. 3. Garlic: Beyond its eatable uses, garlic has been valued for its medicinal properties for centuries. It is known to boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, and provide cardiovascular benefits. 4. Chamomile: A popular herb for promoting relaxation and sleep, chamomile is often consumed as a tea. It possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it a soothing option for those dealing with stress or insomnia. 5. Echinacea: Widely used to support the immune system, echinacea is believed to reduce the duration and severity of colds. This herb stimulates the production of white blood cells, enhancing the body’s defense mechanisms. 6. Lavender: Known for its calming aroma, lavender has more to offer than just a pleasant scent. It has been used to alleviate anxiety, improve sleep quality, and even soothe skin irritations.

Incorporating Herbs into Your Routine Integrating herbs into your daily life doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some simple ways to harness the power of herbs for health: 1. Herbal Teas: Return your regular tea or coffee with herbal teas. Whether it’s chamomile for relaxation, peppermint for digestion, or hibiscus for antioxidant benefits, there’s a tea for every need. 2. Cooking with Herbs: Enhance the flavor of your meals while reaping the health benefits by incorporating fresh or dried herbs into your cooking. Basil, thyme, oregano, and rosemary are some examples of versatile culinary herbs. 3. Herbal Supplements: If you find it challenging to consume sufficient herbs in your diet, consider herbal supplements. These are available in various forms, such as capsules, tinctures, and powders, providing a convenient way to boost your herbal intake. 4. DIY Herbal Remedies: Explore the world of herbal remedies by creating your tinctures, salves, or infused oils. This hands-on approach allows you to tailor herbal solutions to your specific needs.

Precautions and Consultation

While herbs offer a natural approach to health, it’s crucial to exercise caution. Some herbs may interact with medications or have warnings for certain medical conditions. Before incorporating new herbs into your routine, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, consult with a certified naturopathic doctor or a healthcare professional to ensure safety and efficacy.

Closure

As we journey into an era where the importance of holistic well-being is gaining recognition, herbs for health stand out as valuable allies. Embracing the wisdom of traditional healing practices alongside modern medicine can offer a balanced approach to maintaining and enhancing your health. So, open your senses to the world of herbs, and let nature guide you on the path to natural healing. Herbal medicine as we all know is a blend of nature’s elements like various medicinal plants and herbs that possess healing and well-being properties.

Experts at Shifakhana have command of treatments and management for joint pains, gout, sciatica, arthritis, rheumatism, psoriasis, eczema, IBS, migraine, rhinitis, kidney calculus, and many more.

Avocado.

Pairing: Chris Evans x pregnant reader.

Summary: You don't feel like eating avocado anymore.

Word count: 1141 words.

Who said being pregnant was easy? Nobody, because it wasn't at all. Of course, bringing a little human being into the world was something that you and your partner found magical and beautiful, the fact that your body is capable of giving/creating a new life was impressive and totally mind-blowing and it was the best decision you could have made as a couple.

You were 7 months pregnant and your belly was very big, your baby already knew your voices and most of the time you spoke to him and sang he moved, yes, he. When you found out that it would be a boy Chris was so happy there was no room for happiness in him, although you honestly did not care about the gender, you just wanted him to be safe and sound, you would love your little human however he was.

For dinner you would have; chicken breast with lemon and oregano with tomato and avocado. It sounded delicious and it were one of the few things that didn't make you nauseous when smelling them.

You went into the kitchen where Chris was finishing making dinner.

"Is it almost ready, love?" you stood behind him hugging his waist and poking your head over his shoulder.

You licked your lips almost being able to taste it. Chris laughed and kissed your cheek, it seemed so sweet to him that you couldn't take it anymore.

"Yes, honey, I just finish chopping tomato and this is all yours "

"Mmm, and are you included too?" you put your hands on his chest and began to kiss his neck slowly.

He growled and you felt him begin to tense up.

"Baby, stop. First I'm going to feed you and our little one and then I'll do whatever you want." he turned around to take your face in his hands and kiss your forehead.

"How does that sound?" he said caressing your cheeks and smiling.

"Tempting. I accept" you gave a peck on his lips

"Very well. But first I have to finish" he turned around to start serving and you took the opportunity to spank him and go sit down.

"Hey!" he said turning to play "offended" and laughing.

"You always do it to me, why can't I?" you gave him a mischievous smile and then put on an innocent face.

"You're crazy, woman," he said starting to serve the dishes.

"But for you" you gave him a quick kiss when he approached to put down your plate.

"I love you" he said sitting next to you while he caressed your hand.

"And I love you, now I need to eat because your son and I crave it" you took the knife and started cutting the chicken breast.

"Bon appetit, my love" Chris laughed, you seemed so anxious.

You took a bite of the tomato chicken breast and groaned.

"This is delicious"

"Thanks my love"

With the fork you grabbed a piece of avocado and put it in your mouth, you began to taste and enjoy and then swallow it.

"I love avocado, I would eat it for the rest of my life"

"I don't understand how you like it so much, I don't, I can't find the taste in it," he said as he made a unpleasant face.

You were going to answer him when suddenly you got horrible nausea and you felt that the avocado was coming back down your throat. You ran to the bathroom so you could empty everything that came next.

Chris ran after you to help you duck and hold your hair while you finished.

After the food was expelled, you rinsed your mouth and went to the living room to lie down for a moment.

The smell of avocado filled your nose, making you more nauseous.

"Please put the avocado somewhere else to stop smelling it, I can't stand it." you covered your nose and breathed a little through your mouth so you won't vomit again.

Chris put the food in the fridge and brought you a glass of water.

"Here, honey, drink some water. Maybe the nausea will pass" he sat next to you rubbing your thigh.

You drank some, put it on the table, and rested your head on his shoulder.

"This is definitely your son" you closed your eyes and sighed. Chris started laughing

"Do you think I had to do with your vomit?"

"I don't think so, I'm sure. He had never grossed me out and now that our baby overheard his daddy say that he doesn't like avocado casually I can't tolerate it anymore. This baby will come out exactly to you, Chris, I'm sure. He will be your mini me, believe me." you sat on his lap passing your hands around his neck.

"The last thing I would have wanted would be to cause you discomfort, my love. But maybe the baby will look like me, but he will be with your personality and attitude, maybe he is also just as indecisive as you and that's why he didn't want avocado." he said caressing your belly and then caressing your hips.

"Maybe" you said laughing and running your fingers through his hair

"But I want him to look like you, it will be so cute to have a mini version of you walking around the house"

"I want him to be like you, like his mother so fucking perfect, God, I love you very much." he gave little kisses on your forehead.

"And I love you" you said looking into his eyes and kissing his nose.

"If I remember correctly you said that after dinner you would do whatever I wanted" you gave him a mischievous look.

He gave a little laugh shaking his head.

"I said that I'd feed you first and I didn't do it" he put his hand on your butt and began to stroke it.

"But the nausea came and it wasn't anyone's fault" you pouted.

"I thought you said it was my fault," he said raising an eyebrow.

"I withdraw what I said then" you straddled him and began to move a little. He put his hands on your hips trying to control himself.

"Love" he growled "First you have to have something for dinner" he said closing his eyes and tilting his head back.

"I will, but after doing what I want" you kept moving and started kissing and licking his neck.

He groaned and his grip tightened.

"Fine" he opened his eyes and you stopped your movements.

"You are insatiable, but who am I to deny myself?" the two of you smiled for a moment and then you stopped.

"I'm going to rinse and brush my teeth, see you in our room" you said going to the bathroom.

"Whatever you say, baby," he winked at you to walk into his room.

What are common gifts to give your pregnant mate (Beta/Omega/Alpha)

Awww. that's so cute.

to give a beta: jewels (baby's birthstone), lotions, candles, decorated eggs (a tradition to give pregnant betas as they're also waiting to "hatch"), fresh thyme, and mint.

to give an omega: blankets, pillows, cushions, bluebells, fresh oregano, vegetable seeds (a tradition that means to grow something strong and prosperous)

to give an alpha: fresh cinnamon, fresh milk, fresh-cut gladiolus flowers, skin and hair oils, broken bread (a tradition for welcoming in new life and peace)

all this stigma, epilogue | kth

part one | part two (finale) | epilogue

❝ one mistake can change everything...❞

➝ summary: your relationship with taehyung was supposed to stay strictly casual. yet, when you find yourself pregnant with his child, the walls you built up come crashing down around you. kim taehyung’s affluent family are strict and traditional, willing to do anything to cover up the indiscretions of their son, even if it means forcing him into marriage...

➝ pairing: heir taehyung x female reader

➝ genre: fluff

➝ word count: 2.4k

➝ warnings: profanity

➝ author’s note: here’s the epilogue i promised. i’m finally giving this couple the fluff that they deserve! this epilogue might not make much sense if you haven’t read the first two parts. i hope you all enjoy it :’)

[One Year Later]

The air in the compact kitchen is rich with the scent of fresh tomatoes and fried garlic. Taehyung smiles as he walks into the room to see you standing at the stove, “Smells good!”

You turn to him, an apron sparing your jeans and T-shirt from splashes of tomato sauce. “Hopefully it tastes as good as it smells. I thought I’d try a new recipe for lasagne this time.”

Taehyung makes his way across the linoleum floor to plant a careful kiss on your forehead, before he moves over to the kettle to make himself a cup of coffee.

“How was work?” you ask, as you return to the tomato sauce, sprinkling in a pinch of oregano.

“Same as usual,” Taehyung gives a huffed laugh, pouring boiling water over the granules of sugar and decaf instant coffee in his mug. The smoky scent of coffee permeates through the air, mixing with the other fragrances in the kitchen. “I can’t complain really. I’m just happy to have a job at the moment.” His spoon makes a clanging sound against the china mug as he stirs in milk.

Taehyung has been working hard over the past year, ever since he left behind the wealth of his family to live a simpler life with you. Initially he had worked a couple of jobs, taking night shifts, weekends, and overtime hours – anything he could to scrounge up a living for his suddenly destitute family. Of course, you had tried to help where you could, taking part time shifts while caring for your son, Chunghee.

Taking a sip of his coffee, Taehyung glances across at you, as you move around the small kitchen, grabbing ingredients you need, and humming a tune to yourself. A smile tickles the corners of his lips as the rich flavour of the coffee fills his mouth. Despite giving up the luxurious wealth of the Kim estate, he finds that he much prefers this small house, with its faulty taps, creaky stairs, and peeling wallpaper. This house has character, and he works hard to pay the rent, rather than simply taking it for granted.

His experience of learning the ropes of being a CEO from his father had not meant much in a competitive job market, and he was seeing how difficult it truly was to start from the bottom and work his way up. Maybe in a couple of years’ time you’d be able to move into a bigger house, and take out a mortgage. He runs a hand through his hair – those were thoughts for another day.

“Where’s Chunghee?” he asks you.

“Taking a nap. He spent most of the afternoon playing with his HotWheels until he crashed out on the floor. I’ve tucked him into bed for now.”

Taehyung grins. He can picture his son running around the house with his toy cars in hand, making the typical “Broooom!” noise as his imagination runs away with him. Ever since you had left the Kim estate, Chunghee seems to be so much happier as well, allowed to act like the child that he is.

Leaning back against the counter top, and warming his hands on his mug, Taehyung breathes a contented sight. It’s taken a lot of sacrifice and hardship, but he finally has the life he always dreamed of – beautiful wife, cosy house, and cheerful son.

- ✽ ✽ ✽ -

[Five months ago]

There’s a knock on the door.

Yoongi looks up, “I’ll get it.”

You sit on Yoongi’s sofa, bouncing Chunghee on your knee, while Taehyung cooks in the kitchen just across the hallway. Part of thanking Yoongi for letting you crash in his apartment until you sort out your next step is doing your share of chores, and this night, Taehyung has volunteered to make dinner.

As he taste tests the broth in his saucepan, he listens to Yoongi’s footsteps padding down the hallway to the door.

“Hello. Can I help you?” Yoongi’s voice takes on the tone he normally reserves for sales men, trying to get him to invest in their “revolutionary” new product. Taehyung focuses his attention on the food. It’s about time he started cooking the noodles. A familiar voice, floating from the door, causes him to pause.

“Is Taehyung here? I need to speak with him.”

Taehyung nearly drops his spoon into the broth. Turning the heat on the hob down, he dashes out of the kitchen to be faced with-

“Mother? What are you doing here?”

Mrs. Kim stands in the doorway, looking as prim as ever. Her lavish clothing is incongruous next to the cheap apartment doorway that she stands in.

“Ah, Taehyung, there you are. Can I speak to you? Alone?”

“If you’re here to try and persuade me to come home, then I’m telling you right now that the answer is ‘no’,” Taehyung responds.

Yoongi slinks behind Taehyung, slipping back into the living room.

“I’m not here for that,” Mrs. Kim sights, “Although, should you ever change your mind, do not expect your father to welcome you back with open arms. He is absolutely furious. Livid. He won’t forgive you for this.” She clears her throat, her eyes dancing around the hallway of Yoongi’s apartment. She seems distressed by the cheap interior design.

“How did you even find me?” Taehyung demands.

“I went through all the contacts that had attended your wedding. I assumed that you’d end up with a friend or relative.” She sniffs, clearly unimpressed with Taehyung’s new living conditions, “But I’m not here to explain myself. I came here with the sole purpose of giving you this.” She delves into her purse, pulling out an envelope which she then hands to Taehyung.

Frowning at her, Taehyung opens the envelope, eyes widening at the wad of cash inside - hundred upon hundreds of dollars stuffed into an envelope.

“I can’t take this,” he says, holding it out to his mother.

She shakes her head firmly, holding her arms by her sides. “It’s not for you. That money is for Chunghee. For college, and birthdays, that sort of thing. Consider if a gift from a grandmother to her grandson. Please, just take it, and I’ll leave you in peace.”

Taehyung sighs, carding a hand through his hair, which has grown much longer since he left his parents’ estate. “Alright, fine. I’ll put it in a savings account for him or something, okay?”

His mother hovers on the doorway, as if she has more to say, before she simply nods, and turns to leave. Taehyung wonders if he’ll ever see her again. An odd pain clenches at his heart, but he pushes it off. He has a new family now; he doesn’t need the approval of his mother anymore. He shuts the door behind Mrs. Kim, and turns back to the warmth of Yoongi’s apartment.

It’s about time that he moves out of Yoongi’s place, and stops pestering their old uni friend. Taehyung has been working hard to save up for rent, so he can start a new life with you and Chunghee. The idea plants a smile on his face.

He returns to the kitchen, stirring the broth once more. The sound of you singing softly to Chunghee floats to his ears from the living room.

- ✽ ✽ ✽ -

[Four Months Ago]

“So, what do you think?” Taehyung is lying in bed with you, crammed into Yoongi’s spare room. Chunghee is asleep on a spare mattress in the room next to yours.

You snuggle up against Taehyung, your body practically naked apart from your pyjama shorts. Taehyung loves the feeling of your body pressed to him. You wriggle closer to him, arms wrapping around his torso as you peer at the phone screen he holds up to you.

On his phone browser, it shows a small apartment. Taehyung swipes through the pictures of the different rooms. They’re small, but with their own unique charm. You grin, as you move your head to look up at Taehyung. “I like it.”

“Are you sure? I know it’s quite different from how we’ve lived before.”

“Any place with you and Chunghee in it will feel like home,” you say, resting your head against his chest.

“I’ll be happy to have a space of our own,” Taehyung agrees. Trying to have enough privacy just to be intimate with you is all the more difficult with Yoongi around. “If you’re happy, I’ll contact the estate agent, and we’ll see about scheduling a viewing.”

You yawn, head getting heavy on Taehyung’s chest. “Sounds good.”

By the time Taehyung has typed out an email to the estate agent, you’ve already fallen asleep, huddled close to his warmth.

- ✽ ✽ ✽ -

[Three Months Ago]

Moving isn’t as hard as Taehyung had expected. In the end, there aren’t many items that need to be transported to the new house.

Once the few boxes of your meagre belongings are dumped in the hallway, Taehyung surveys the empty rooms and decides, “We’re going to need some furniture.”

You spread yourself out on the carpeted floor, head tilted back to look up at the ceiling, “I don’t know. I could get used to sleeping on the carpet like this.” Chunghee, seeing you lying on the floor, comes to lie down next to you, giggling.

Taehyung chuckles, “No way. You’ll fuck up your back like that.”

“Hey, no swearing in front of Chunghee,” you remind.

Taehyung runs a hand through his hair, “Sorry.”

You sit up again, “Okay, fine. Ikea, here we come, I guess.”

Taehyung takes a seat on the floor opposite you, and Chunghee movers over to clamber into his lap. Taehyung’s son has gotten a lot heavier recently, having hit a recent growth spurt. “I’ve never actually shopped at Ikea before,” Taehyung admits, “I suppose it was too cheap for my parents. I’ve heard good things about their meatballs though.”

“They’re great,” you confirm, “It’ll be a fun day out.”

- ✽ ✽ ✽ -

[Two Months Ago]

“Can we talk?” The cheap Ikea sofa squeaks as you sit down, sidling up next to Taehyung.

“Uh oh,” he puts down the book that he’s been reading, “That tone of voice means that we’re going to have a serious conversation, huh?”

You nod, wringing your hands together, “It’s just… before we decided to run away… we were going to get divorced….” You bite your bottom lip to stop it from trembling.

“I know,” Taehyung says, “I couldn’t just forget something like that.”

“Me neither,” you say, “I know you only wanted to divorce me because you wanted me to free myself from your family. But now that we’ve left your parents, I suppose after all that, we’re still technically married.”

“Yeah,” Taehyung rests his nose against your neck, pressing a careful kiss to your pulse, “Why are you bringing this up?”

“I just wanted to know if you still want to stay married to me,” you say.

Taehyung pulls away, “Of course!”

You hold up a hand, “Just let me finish. Of course I know you want to stay with me. But, I also know it was never your decision to get married. So I just wanted to know how you felt about it. I know some people don’t feel the need to have the label of marriage define their relationship. So if you wanted...”

Taehyung shakes his head, “I like being married to you. I think it’s a shame that we couldn’t get married on our own terms. But I’m staying with you, not because of my parents, or Chunghee, or because we were forced to get married. I’m staying with you because I love you.”

Taehyung sees the skin on your cheeks darkening with a blush.

Pushing himself up from the sofa, Taehyung gets down on one knee in front of you, “Listen, I understand that our relationship didn’t have the perfect fairy tale beginning, but I truly believe that we’re living our happily ever after now. We deserve it, after all that we’ve been through. So, with all that said, would you please do me the honour of remaining my wife, now and forever?”

You smile down at him, your eyes shining wet with tears. A simple nod is all Taehyung needs. You fling your arms around him, pulling him into a hug that squashes the air out of his lungs while his laughter rumbles through you.

- ✽ ✽ ✽ -

[Present]

You bring Taehyung out of his reverie as you move away from the kitchen hob, your preparations for dinner finally complete, with your lasagne turning golden in the oven.

Moving over to Taehyung, you slot your hand through his free fingers, unburdened by his coffee mug. Your wedding band shines on your ring finger. It’s not as fancy as your last wedding ring – the one your threw down at Mrs. Kim’s feet as you fled from the family estate. The old ring was studded with diamonds. Your new one is a simple gold band. To you and Taehyung it means so much more.

Taehyung sets down his coffee mug, pulling you in with both hands, until you are comfortably nestled against him. His hand runs up and down your back as you hum happily into his jumper.

“Thank you.” He quietly murmurs the words into your soft hair.

You look up at him, “Why are you saying that, all of a sudden?”

Taehyung smiles at you with heavy-lidded eyes. “I’m so grateful that you convinced me to leave my old life behind. This past year has been the best one I’ve lived yet. I wouldn’t have had the courage to leave if you hadn’t been by my side.”

“You don’t need to thank me for that. I was just doing what felt right. After all, you would do the same for me.”

Taehyung places a gentle kiss on your warm lips. You taste like home. “I love you so much,” Taehyung breathes, thankful for every opportunity he gets to say it. He’ll tell you a hundred times, a thousand times, a million times, with all the time he has left.

Her arranged marriage to the lowly pureblood Christian Vixen was made in order to hide the fact that she was no longer a virgin and soon she became pregnant of triplets in 1960 at the age of 28: Sybil, Alexander and Delphine. Sadly, the triplets contracted meningitis and on April of 1961, her son Alexander succumbed to the sickness and her husband never forgave him for it, and their marriage turned sour and abusive, he often beating her and her daughters. On 1981, after her daughter’s suicide and the other going into hiding, she decided to expose her husband to the Ministry and went into hiding back to her family’s home in Saint Petersburgh, where she lived for the rest of her life until her passing on 2012 of old age at 80.

Father: Christian Vixen

Born in 1937, Christian was the only son and heir of the Vixen fortune after his two elder brothers were executed by the Allies after World War II, for they joined the Nazi party and were active role players. He married on 1958 Anastasia Vasiliev as an arragement to cover the scandal that his new bride was not a virgin and soon after the wedding night, his ‘virility’ was proved by impregnating her of triplets no less. In 1960 his three children, Sybil; Alexander and Delphine were born. Sadly, seven months later his son Alexander succumbed to meningitis and he never forgave such ‘sacrilege’ to his wife and condoned his daughters, who he was adamnt on that it was them who caused his death. Overzealous, fascist and highly conservative, he beat often his family and was known in all houses of ill repute and had several bastard children whom his wife never allowed to recognize because she blackmailed him on exposing him to the British Muggle Government, whom they had a strong anti-fascism sentiment. After Delphine ran away on 1974 aged fourteen, he doted on Sybil, who pleased him well enough to make her his heir in exchange of an advantageous match with someone who served the Dark Lord. Sadly, in 1981 Sybil took her own life and he was exposed by his wife. He died days before Voldemort set free the Death Eaters during the Second Wizarding War of syphilis.

After graduating and the war started, both made plans for when this was over and Sybil declared her love by saying “The only true, genuine thing I have in my life now is the love I bear for you in my heart. I love you, Val, and I do not wish to be parted from you again’. But soon her father found out and betrothed her to Peter Pettigrew per Voldemort’s request. On the 26th of October 1981 Sybil and Valentina saw each other for the last time in an abandoned hut where Sybil declared that she did not wish to marry Peter at all and she was the one who she loved and wanted to marry. She promised to find her again and make things right, but soon Peter confessed to Sybil his crimes and she realised it was time to get out. Bellatrix found out and with Voldemort they planned to Imperio her into killing herself. Sybil knew that she wouldn’t get out of it alive and wrote a goodbye letter and grabbed a muggle pistol and took her own life in her comfort meadow, leaving her family and girlfriend devastated.

Friends: Augustus McNair @gaygryffindorgal

The two of them bonded over many things and soon became fast friends. He was the only person Sybil confessed about her plan to marry and elope with Valeria to Sicily. Sadly, before they could redeem themselves, the war took them.

She takes no chances and marries Valeria after the war and the two of them settle at Wales.

She bravely battles at the Battle of Hogwarts alonsgide her wife and both make it out alive.

They live the rest of their lives in tranquility and peace.

take it out on me - honeybee extra

A/N: I don’t know if anyone has seen the video of those girls throwing water at Harry’s car but first of all fuck them and second that’s so not chill. I got a little upset but then I started thinking about going home with H and having him take it out on you. And then I started writing this piece which was supposed to be for BFHarry’s fic challenge and then it turned into husband and soon to be dad H with Beatrice and Harry! I am forewarning you that this is filthy and I hope you enjoy.

Word Count: 3k+

Warnings: Cursing, Crying, Evil “fans”, pregnancy sex, mild choking king, dominant aspects, and cockwarming

Sometime in the fall of 2022

Friday, 6:00 PM, London

Being home in London felt good.

As a little girl, I always dreamed of living in the land of the Queen. I perfected my English accent by the time I was ten, whipping it out at parties and sometimes school plays. When I was 15, a freshman in high school, I auditioned for our school play that would take place in Kent, England. Our sister school would accept us in their homes for six months of the year while we rehearsed and learned together. I was crushed when I didn’t get the part and I was utterly terrified that I would never get the chance to see London or Brighton. But after meeting Harry, it was one of the first serious conversations we had. The third night of our relationship, we were cuddled up in his Malibu home, talking about forever. He mentioned going home to see his Mum after his first solo world tour and though I was upset that he would be so far, I was happy for him.

“I’m gonna tell her about you, you know?” He kissed over my wet cheeks as I sniffled. “Gonna tell my Mum about the girl I met in L.A and how she’s gonna be my wife someday.”

Three days.

That’s how long we had known each other when he said that.

And he wasn’t wrong about it.

I stepped out of my London car with my purse and to go coffee mug in hand. The car was far too expensive for my taste, but Harry insisted on having me drive the safest car on the market. Wanda, my very first Audi SUV, was big enough to fit myself, Harry, and the car seat he had installed for our future son. I dropped a free hand to my stomach, softly caressing my baby bump with a smile on my face. Ellis was kicking up a storm as he normally did around this time. I was done with work and the sun was setting which meant that a talk with Daddy would only be moments away.

“It’s alright little love,” I winced at a particularly hard kick. “Daddy's home, just give me a moment to get inside.”

I let out a heavy sigh, walking up the few steps to our newest home.

It still wasn’t quite ready yet, walls unpainted and furniture askew, but it was home.

I was still working in Milan with Vogue for at least three more weeks and Harry was on his European leg of the tour. I was in town for my doctor’s appointment scheduled for Saturday, and Harry was free of any shows or interview obligations for the weekend. In three weeks, I would officially be home in London and on maternity leave. I would be working from home, skyping with Anna and talking with the board about the new London office, but it would be nice to enjoy some time with Ellis and Harry without any work obligations getting in the way.

“Darling,” I called out, shutting the door behind me with a smile. “Are you home?”

“Just in the kitchen, honeybee!” Harry called out.

I dropped my purse on the table by the front door, dropping my keys inside so they wouldn’t get lost before tomorrow. Next, I slipped off my shoes and then peeled myself out of my jacket. It was by no means freezing in London, but the fall chill was starting to set in. I made my way towards our kitchen, my hands pressed into my bump as my nose picked out the scent of oregano and tomato. Harry’s back was towards me, his hands working on something on the countertop. He looked delectable, as always, his back covered by a black t-shirt and a pair of highwaisted trousers settled on his tiny little hips. With a happy hum, I moved around the kitchen island.

“Hiya squid.” I pressed my lips over his shoulder, pressing my hands to his hips.

“There’s my girl.” He peered over his shoulder, dropping the knife he had been using before reaching for a tea towel. “Gimme a kiss.”

He turned around as I puckered my lips out, kissing him a few times before his hands took over resting on my bump. For a split second, we had a moment to ourselves. But it was over the moment Ellis started kicking around again, angry that he wasn’t greeted by his Daddy before me.

“Ellis, little man, you’ve gotta stop that.” I frowned, glancing down at my belly. “Mummy and Daddy are trying to say hello.”

“Is someone being a little bugger today?” Harry hummed, crouching down until he was at eye level with my belly. “That’s not very nice, Ellie, is it?”

Our son calmed down seconds after hearing Harry’s voice.

“I think he needs you to fall asleep.” I whispered, brushing my fingers through Harry’s hair as he looked up at me. “He’s been kicking around all day so I know he’s tired.”

“S’alright little one.” Harry kissed over my belly a few times before standing up. “Why don’t you get changed into something more comfortable and then settle in on the couch. Dinner is nearly done and I’ll be right there.”

“Alright.” I smiled, humming happily when Harry pressed his lips to mine again. “I love you.”

“Love you too, honey.”

Saturday, 10:00 AM; London

Harry and I’s pregnancy wasn’t news to anyone.

Working for Vogue and being Harry Styles’ wife meant that a lot of eyes were on me constantly. Anna suggested biting the bullet and doing a spread for the magazine would be our best option. A few months ago, we agreed. There was a maternity shoot done in our L.A home with me barefoot and pregnant and Harry doting on me as he always did. We did a quick interview on paper, a quick photo shoot, and a small video tour of our home before Anna called it quits. The world went crazy when it all came out, the official announcement on my Instagram promoting the video. Since then, it had been quiet. There wasn’t a lot of fuss over me and Harry was still getting his usual amount of fans at the airport and other places when he traveled, but other than that we were fine.

Until today.

“Mr. Styles,” The receptionist at our OBGYN’s office in London looked nervous. “There’s quite a large crowd of people outside of our building.”

“Bloody hell.” He grumbled under his breath, letting out a heavy sigh. “I’ll have it taken care of. I’m very sorry about that, love.”

“S’alright.” She said quickly. “We’ve locked the doors so no one is permitted in and our other patience won’t be her until after lunch. It should be fine.”

“Thank you.” She nodded before retreating from our exam room. “I need to let Jeff know. We need someone to have the car pulled around when we leave.”

“You can go talk to them while we wait, Harry.” I said softly, reaching for his hand. “Or after, even, I don’t mind.”

“M’not really in the mood today.” He mumbled, reaching for his phone. “I want you in the car, untouched and safe more than anything.”

I didn’t argue with him, nodding along as Ellis moved around in my belly.

Harry spent most of the wait typing on his phone, no doubt talking with Jeff. I sat there anxiously, twiddling with my fingers while I waited for our doctor to come in. Another ultrasound would be happening today and we would be going over the final steps of my pregnancy and birth plan. When Dr. Hillcrest stepped inside, my heart rate increased. Harry put his phone away, reaching for my hand as she greeted us.

“So, how have you been feeling Mummy?” She asked, sitting down on her stool with her clipboard in hand. “Any braxton hicks?”

“Once or twice.” I nodded. “First time I thought I was in labor, scared the hell out of me.”

“It is quite scary when you’re not used to it.” She chuckled. “As we’re nearing the end of your third trimester, there are some things we need to go over. We’re doing tests for Glaucoma, Anemia, Hep B, and a few other things. We’ll be going over the final steps of your birth plan today as well. Have you toured any of the hospital’s in Milan?”

“Yes, I did a few last week.” I nodded. “I’ve decided on Mangiagalli.”

“Perfect.” She said. “I’ll get in contact with the head of the Maternity Ward today and I’ll make sure they have all of the information.”

“We’re really hoping he’s not born in Milan.” Harry chuckled softly. “It would be a bit odd to have him there while Beatrice is trying to close out the office.”

“Odd is a very nice way to say it.” I laughed. “But I’m glad we’re prepared.”

“Babies wait for no one.” Dr. Hillcrest let out a soft chuckle. “I hope you don’t deliver there either, I would love to be there with you when you deliver.”

It took another hour or two before we were finished in the office.

I was told that in about four weeks, I would need to stop flying.

That gave me plenty of time to get things finished up in Milan before making it home to London. Harry had plenty of questions for Dr. Hillcrest and I was thankful that he remembered all the ones I wanted to ask as well. When we were done with the testing and the ultrasound, Harry helped me slip back into my comfortable clothes before lacing his fingers with mine. The nervous smile he gave me meant there was still a crowd outside that we had to deal with. I squeezed his finger, reassuring him that no matter what happened, we would be fine.

“The car is up front.” He said softly. “We’re getting you in first and then me. No stopping, no talking, just get in the car.”

“Alright.” I said softly. “We’ll be fine.”

“I know.” He kissed me quickly before leading me outside.

The cheering increased, loud screams and Harry’s name being chanted nearly shocked me. I hadn’t seen a crowd this big outside of a building before. I glanced over at Harry, my heart rate picking up a little as he talked to a man dressed in all black. Harry glanced back at me, pulling me closer to his side before ushering me to the car. He opened the passenger side door for me, shielding my body from the crowd as my hands started to shake. He reached for my seat belt, his eyes full of worry and anxiety.

“I’m sorry, honey.” He cooed, pressing a quick kiss to my cheek. “S’gonna be alright. Just give me a minute, yeah?”

“I love you.” I said, reluctant to let his hand go.

“I know, honey.” His lips pressed into mine. “You’ve gotta let go so I can get in, okay?”

I nodded weakly, loosening my grip up.

Harry shut the door and I tried to avoid looking out the window, but there was a crowd of girls moving in closer and closer. I was afraid that they would get to the door before I did, but I couldn’t lock Harry out. I gasped when the drivers side door opened, snapping my head around to see Harry. He locked the doors before flipping the car in drive. Seconds after we started moving, I heard thudding against the side of the car door. My anxiety was washed away by anger, water splashing against the side of the car as they continued to throw their bottles at us.

“Fucking hell.” I snapped, my fingers balling up into fists. “That’s just ridiculous.”

Harry didn’t say a word, peeling out of the lot and onto the streets of London.

He was careful not to speed the entire way home, but I could tell that he wanted to.

At some point, his hand landed on my thigh, squeezing firmly as his jaw clenched. I watched the profile of his face, worried more about how he was taking it than myself. These were his fans that had pissed him off. They had come to close for comfort and they had crossed a line when they started throwing things at us. When we made it home, he slammed the car into the park before getting out. Gently, he helped me out of the car, his hand landing right on my bump as my feet hit the ground. The small action sparked something in me, a pool of wetness beginning to form between my thighs. When we made it in the house, Harry started to move away from me.

“Wait,” I said, holding his hand tightly. “Where are you going?”

“Gonna go blow off some steam.” He said. “I’m fucking livid.”

“I know.” I nodded. “Take it out on me.”

“What?” He said, his wild eyes growing wider as he let out a bitter laugh. “I’m not gonna do that, Beatrice.”

“I want you to take it out on me, Harry.” I stepped forward, reaching for his other hand. “Fuck me.”

“Beatrice, no.” He said. “What happens if I’m too rough? What happens if I lose-”

“As if I would let you do anything to harm me seriously, Harry.” I scoffed. “You’ll be fine and I promise to tell you if it’s too much. But please, fuck me.”

His chest was heaving as he looked down at me, his lips shiny from licking and biting over them nervously in the car. He let out a soft curse before lunging forward, his hands grabbing my face firmly. I whimpered in relief when he pressed his lips into mine, his tongue showing no mercy as it explored my mouth. It had been weeks since we made love and months since we’d had a proper fuck. Things were more tender for us in the bedroom, Harry’s fear of harming me or Ellis ever present at the front of his mind. When my bum collided with the couch, I knew I was going to get what I wanted from him. Harry pulled his lips from mine, tugging my shirt over my head quickly.

My leggings were next to go, my hands pressed into his shoulders as I clumsily stepped out of them. I didn’t bother with a bra or panties, knowing that our only stop would be the doctor's office today. When Harry’s head disappeared past my bump, I whined. Seconds later, I felt his teeth scraping over my thigh before lightly biting down. I welcomed the sting, a rush of warmth flooding over me as my pussy began to throb before him. Harry pulled back when I started to move my hips closer to his face, wanting to feel his tongue caressing my clit.

“Not now.” He growled out, standing up. “Upstairs, on the bed.”

“What?” I squeaked out, sure that I would get my proper fucking right here. “What’s wrong with the floor?”

“Now, Beatrice.” He gripped my chin with his thumb and forefinger, his voice stern. “On all fours.”

When I turned around reluctantly, pouting at the missed opportunity for floor sex, I felt a sharp smack on my ass. I cried out, glancing back at Harry as I pressed my hand over my bum. Harry smirked at me, crossing his arms as I waddled away with narrowed eyes. I had asked for it and I was definitely going to get what I wanted. I climbed up the stairs slowly, waddling towards our bedroom. When I made it to our bed, I did as I was told. My hands and knees pressed into the plush mattress, our duvet soft on the skin of my knees. Maybe this was better than the floor.

After a few moments, Harry was pushing into the room behind me. He wasted no time stripping himself down before kneeling on the bed behind me. I opened my mouth, prepared to make a smart comment about him being eager, but I was cut off before I could even speak. The head of his cock pushed into me first and then the rest followed. I gasped, dropping my head forward as his hips collided with mine. I clenched my eyes shut, welcoming the feeling of Harry’s length.

“Always squeeze me so good.” Harry moaned out behind me and I could imagine he’d dropped his head back in bliss. “Hold tight for me, yeah? Tell me if it’s too much, Beatrice. Promise me you will.”

“I promise,” I gasped out as he pulled away, his cock leaving my walls vacant and begging for more. It didn’t last long before was fucking into me again, harder this time as his fingers dug into the flesh of my hips. “Oh!”

Harry’s soft grunts and the force of his thrusts had me sitting on cloud nine. I was enjoying the pounding I was getting, his hips slapping against mine as he gave me everything he had. I was a babbling mess below him, begging for more, harder, faster, please! Harry met my every need, angling his hips perfectly so that he was hitting every spot within me that I needed to be satisfied. It didn’t take long for me to cum around him, my walls fluttering without warning as my arms started to grow weak. Harry was quick to mold his chest to my back, pulling me up until my head was dropped back on his shoulder. He had no problem fucking me just as hard as I came around his cock.

“V’got you honey,” He nipped at my ear. “I’ve got you. Gonna make you cum again for me, okay? Can you do one more for me?”

I nodded, but that wasn’t enough.

“Say it.” He grunted, sliding the hand that was holding my belly up to my throat. “Use your words.”

“Please, Harry.” I whimpered as his fingers rested over my throat. “Make me cum again.”

“Good girl.” His teeth raked over the skin of my shoulder before he bit down on me, a loud moan tearing from my throat. “There’s my girl, so fucking good for me all the time.”

“Yes, yes.” I cried out as he delivered a few thrusts that were harder than the others. “M’gonna cum, M’gonna-”

“Do it.” He said. “Cum on my cock honey. Give me a good one.”

A flash of white took over my senses as I tightened around his cock.

I wasn’t sure if I had moaned, my mouth dropped open as I reached out for Harry’s hand on my hips. My body jerked against his as he stilled inside of me, grunting loudly in my ear as his hips flexed forward. He pushed his cum inside of me, almost as if he was trying to put another baby in me. When I finally came back to my senses, Harry was slipping out of my walls and I was crying.

“No, no.” I sniffled, reaching back for his hips. “Stay.”

“Honey, I’m...I can’t.”

A soft sob ripped out of my throat and seconds later, Harry was guiding my body to the bed.

“What’s wrong, honey?” His hands were flying all over my body, pressing into my skin to make sure I was fine. He settled his palm on my belly, his eyes wide with fear. “What hurts?”

“I just wanted you to stay in me.” I sniffled, reaching up to wipe under my eyes. “I’m so empty now.”

“Oh, honey.” He collapsed on the bed next to me, kissing over my face. “It’s alright, it’s gonna be alright.”

I curled myself into his chest, digging my fingers into his sides as he covered our naked bodies with the throw at the end of our bed. He pressed gentle kisses over my forehead, brushing his hand up and down my back in soothing circles to try and calm me down. Rationally, I knew it was pregnancy hormones, but I still felt empty without his cock in me.

“Turn around fo’ me.” He whispered, patting my thigh. I did as he said, turning on my side as another sob pulled from my throat. “It’s alright, honey. Lift your leg up and put it on the pillow.”

He guided one under my leg, brushing his hand softly over my thigh as he moved his front closer to my back. Seconds later, I felt the head of his cock at my entrance.

“Hold on, sweet girl.” He whispered. “You ready?”

I nodded my head, reaching back to hold onto his hip as he slipped inside of me, harder than he had been earlier when we started our little escapade.

“So fucking tight, honey.” He whimpered into my ear. “S’that what you wanted?”

“Yes.” I gasped out wetly, nodding my head. “S’full.”

“Love you so much, Beatrice.” He whispered as I started to drift off. “Close your eyes for me honey, go to sleep.

“Love you, too.”

WHO ARE YOU BRINGING TO THE ISLE?

FACECLAIM: Sara Waisglass

NAME: Yona Onasis

AGE: 21

BIRTHDAY: October 17, 1999

OCCUPATION: Part-time university student, worker at the Onasis’ farm, “Weeds” Salesperson (not actually drugs…)

HOMETOWN: Icaria, Greece (originally Nyack, New York)

PETS: A nice mutt of a dog named Fleck

POWERS:

tw: death

Yona has a variation of psychometry. If she touches an object that was in the possession of someone deceased, she can relive their memories in first-person surrounding the object. The more recently the person passed away, the more vivid and the memories are. She experiences these visions more quickly than the events themselves occur, but she does freeze in place for a moment while reliving them.

BIOGRAPHY:

tw: death, drugs, alcohol, implied underage sex

Yona struggled to remember much of her life before she came to Icaria. She could recall activities, friends, and time with her mom (mostly in the hospital). However, she struggled to connect any of her own memories to what led to her arrival in Icaria. Asking her adoptive parents for details prompted a slightly different story every time, and it was never told with the utmost confidence in the details. The best that Yona could piece together, she was born into a nice Jewish family in Nyack, New York but her uncle Joey’s wife Genevieve was really into worship of the Greek gods. Somehow, Genevieve ended up putting Yona’s mother Arielle in touch with some mysterious guy with whom she spent a pretty wild night. This resulted in Arielle becoming pregnant and giving birth to a daughter. Arielle died when Yona was around six (it was never made clear to Yona how or why), and her uncle and aunt took her in.

Joey and Genevieve weren’t exactly great at childrearing, and having a curious little brat tagging along was really cramping their style. They’d been the fun aunt and uncle, but now they had to be the fun parents, and that wasn’t really working. After some mumbling back and forth between Aunt Genevieve’s connections for over a year, they managed to somehow get in touch with the Onasis family in Icaria.

One of the adopted sons of George and Agape Onasis and his wife had thought that they were taking in a child of the rustic god Silenus. Instead, they wound up with Yona, whose father Charon was decidedly not particularly associated with the harvest. It seemed weird to send back a precocious child over something so trivial, and they were nice people, so they fostered the girl for a while until adopting her. Everything ended up working out okay, and sometimes Uncle Joey and Aunt Gen sent postcards and gifts wildly inappropriate for a small child during their travels. She even met Charon a few times, although Yona told him to his face that even though he was pretty cool, the god was less cool than her new dad.

Deception of her parentage aside, Yona took surprisingly well to her new family’s lifestyle in a house close to her grandparents big family farm. She enjoyed tagging along behind her parents, uncles, aunts, and grandparents in the fields and doing her best to help. There was something satisfying about being part of a team, and it didn’t hurt that the team helped make delicious food. She fondly remembered begging her kindhearted Uncle Baz to let her sit on his shoulders so she could be tall too and see the farm from up high.

As she grew older, Yona started to fall into some bad habits and a thrill-seeking crowd. She started hanging around with the ‘bad kids,’ including the Richards twins who were in the school year below her. They were fun, and she liked to have fun. There was a chance that Yona might have pulled back on the bad decision-making and not gotten so addicted to pulling elaborate pranks and wreaking mild mayhem without getting caught if not for this friendship. It got really bad around when she hit high school. Most of the time, she wasn’t doing anything too out of hand, and took care to appear like she was partying as hard as everyone else when she drank moderately was only doing pot when explicitly urged to participate. Her parents’ only real complaints were her complete disregard for curfew. When she was 16, she tried having sex a couple of times with one of the boys in her year and decided that it wasn’t for her. It took her about a year to figure out that she just wasn’t interested in boys, but she talked up a good game to her friends about her supposed adventurous sex life for a while. It didn’t help that Yona had fallen hard for Rye along the way. She did not want to ruin their friendship, and it would probably be awkward to suddenly reveal this sort of thing- especially when the twins ended up dropping out of high school. Her own grades were pretty untouched, so she tried to keep the guilt from consuming her. Yona came out more quietly than she did most things, but didn’t really know what to do about her crush, so she did a terrible job of hiding it.

She graduated, and enrolled part-time in classes at the local university, deciding somewhat on a whim to major in Pharmacy. She did want to take some time to learn what she liked before fully committing to full time studies, so she explored some… interesting sales practices that she had only dabbled in during high school. She called herself a “weeds” salesperson which was only kind of lying. Was it really her fault that people couldn’t tell pot from oregano? It was good, organic oregano. Sometimes it was difficult to tell if people were really gullible or really into cooking. It wasn’t like she didn’t sell stuff at the farmers market with her family, so it was everyone else’s own fault if they couldn’t tell the difference between the stuff. Some of Yona’s more unexpected favorite pastimes included visiting used bookstores and thrift stores to excitably tell her fellow shoppers about the dead people that had previously possessed the items, shouting at passerby to get out of her way when she went on runs with her dog, and trying to get cool people that were older than her to be her friend.

Quarantine, Day 107

June 26

I'm back to two foster kittens now, the orange and white one managed to behave himself for his intake, so he got to come home with me for socializing, yay! The kittens are now called Bixby and Barry, B names because they were trapped on a street starting with B, and that's how we roll in TNR. Their grumpy sibling is pepper, because consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. Anyway, I was able to hold and pet Bixby several times today, once for a ten minute stretch that was pretty great. Barry is still very shy, and I think I may split them up tomorrow in the day at least, to keep Bixby from copying his nerves. They are using the litterbox now though, which is excellent news for their future adoptibility. A shy kitten is one thing, a kitten who can't be housetrained is quite another. These guys are doing great.

Tonight for supper I made spaghetti, which I haven't made for awhile despite having all the ingredients. Spaghetti is usually a staple food around here, but sometimes you just get bored of something, I guess. Plus we haven't been home for ages, and that changes things. I usually use canned tomato sauce because it is good and cheap, then dress it up with other things to make it taste better. I usually saute garlic and onions in olive oil, then cook a pound of ground beef or turkey in it, then add a can of diced tomatoes and two cans of sauce. When I have fresh herbs, like today, I add those after it's simmered a little while, and top it off with a couple handfuls of mozzarella melted in. It's good, and it makes a lot of sauce! My oregano and basil plants are doing amazingly well after the trip and with my son's assiduous watering (he gets computer-time points for watering the plants daily), so I should take advantage of it. I'm thinking of making pesto tomorrow with some of that basil, then doing a pizza or some rotini pasta. Pesto is great and it is also pretty cheap if you are not a snob about it. I learned years ago that pine nuts are SUPER EXPENSIVE, and even walnuts have been out of reach during some lean years, but chickpeas (garbanzo beans) do the same work and are extremely cheap and easy to get hold of. We're doing pretty okay right now so we have walnuts and shredded parmesan that doesn't come in the can, so it's going to be very good pesto!

Speaking of plants, I've also been experimenting with making tea from the fresh herbs in my garden. Lemongrass tea is good, I recommend it! I'm also planning to try lemon verbena soon. Sage tea doesn't taste very good, but it's good for a sore throat, so I'm hoping to grow enough to dry for the winter. I keep seeing lavender tea recommended, but I am skeptical. Lavender just doesn't seem like food to me. I worry it would be like drinking bathwater. In any case, it's blooming and smelling great, so it's doing its job whether or not I decide to try drinking it, and the bee balm is going to flower any day. It's going to be so pretty on my balcony in a week or so!

I have been thinking lately about when the appropriate time will be to end this journal. I started it with no end goal in mind, because it wasn't at all clear what the end of quarantine was going to look like. It's still not clear, tbh. People are going out and doing normal things right now, but the infection rate is also shooting up at a worrying pace, because people are morons, and honestly, wearing masks can be very difficult. I don't have too much problem with cloth or paper masks indoors, but they are harder outside, and the N95 is almost impossible. I tried to wear my N95 to the fire call on Wednesday night, but I was the only person of the dozens on scene wearing a mask at all. It was humid and extremely muggy, and the mask straps were too small for my head. I finally gave up and pulled it off because the grieving woman I was dealing with had enough problems without having to try and decipher what I was asking her. I have been extra careful in my mask wearing since then, because it would've been a very easy situation in which to pick something up, and I don't want to pass it along. I feel fine, but that means nothing. Given what's happening in Texas and Alabama and Florida, it seems possible that there might be additional lockdown or quarantining called for, maybe pretty soon. Do I end on Day 120, figuring that's a nice round number, or wait to see if things are over? That's silly thinking, though. I don't think there's been a single moment in the past three months that I have successfully predicted what I or the country would be doing in two weeks.

In the meantime, I've been preparing the way I always do in uncertain times, by stocking up on groceries. I don't approve of panic buying or hoarding, but when there are plenty of groceries available, it makes a lot of sense to make sure you're ready for unusual things to happen. It definitely makes my squirrel brain happier, if nothing else. That is the same part of my brain that, upon learning I was surprise pregnant at 27, with no job and living on a half-share of a grad student salary, decided that the only thing that would save us all was cleaning out the linen closet and filling it with canned goods and pasta. I suppose I am lucky to have a coping strategy that is relatively harmless and even sometimes useful, and a spouse who doesn't care too much about the sudden loss of closet real estate when I start getting antsy. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a grocery list to make.
