Where I’m From

I am from a dream woven by the sun,

from books harboring my escapes that I wished to existence for every holiday

and hours spent at the piano that I used to spend complaining but that I would give

anything

today to be able to have.

from a “je ne sais quoi” attitude and a goal that seemed to be to just have fun in life,

(and this dream, which I held so dear, would dissipate as I grew up.)

I am from seeing my parents’ dreams change in front of my eyes,

from moving states for my dad’s job and barely being aware of him as he attended law school while working in a biology lab,

from watching my mom leave every week for dental school and waking up to little presents by my pillow every Saturday that she would bring home from New York.

I am from being taken care of by my grandparents,

from being taught math by my grandmother that I would eagerly show off at school,

from biking around my neighborhood and fun lunches at school.

from braided hair and obnoxious barrettes, dancing around in my backyard and

from photo albums my mom spent hours making that sometimes I pull out just to reminisce.

I am from laughs and tears over small things,

from naivety and a world so bright it blinded.

from happiness and time that I will never get back,

all of which came from

my dream woven by the sun.

I am from the fast food we would order every Saturday after swim practice,

from chicken nuggets and French fries and pizza because I stopped eating vegetables at age three.

from plain steamed buns and sesame tangyuan and scallion pancakes and my mom’s smoothies

where she would try to sneak in a little spinach.

from ice cream and chocolate and candy that my mother

--a dentist--

always reminded me was bad for my teeth.

I am from comfort foods that I didn’t quite realize at the time were comfort foods,

from bites of happiness every time I ate,

from worrying about what I would order at restaurants when I outgrew the kids menu,

from being so excited when my mom said I could order a milkshake or some soda.

I am from the hours spent by my family trying to come up with things I could eat

and the time my grandparents spent cooking for me.

from the cups of milk my grandmother would insist I finish

to the chocolate-covered cookies my mom once brought home from the mall as a treat.

from gummy vitamins and visits to the dentist,

I am from accepting attitudes and love cooked into every meal.

I am from a Chinese family,

from chopsticks I couldn’t use and a language barrier that cracks a little each year.

from bustling red chaos in February and red envelopes with money that went toward my college

savings.

from knowing all the Chinese families in our neighborhood and hours of Chinese school every

weekend.

from--in the beginning--laughing at people who couldn’t pronounce my last name to--in the

end--being a little disappointed when I found that no one could.

from listening to classic Chinese tales in the car and being able to recite them

and doing my best to memorize Chinese poems.

from being compared to other kids by my grandparents, which thankfully stopped somewhere

along the way.

I am from keeping in touch with my Chinese roots

which I did not realize was so important

but which today I could not be more grateful for.

I am from Chinese immigrants who met in college as biology students

and who then followed their own paths

onto different careers.

But not just them, I am from grandparents

who raised me while my parents’ dreams changed

and who gave me the safety and security to grow

my dream woven from the sun.

Rebuilding Family

Summary: Y/N and Spencer were college sweethearts at Cal-Tech but once Spencer got accepted to the FBI Academy, he ended things deciding it was not fair to make Y/N wait for him. When they meet again years later, he discovers something unexpected.

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Fem! Reader

A/N: hi lovely people! i hope you are all having a great day! drink some water! love you all!

Masterlist

Chapter 13

Spencer got a call from you one morning when he was leaving his apartment to pick Jo up for school.

“Spencer,” your voice sounded deeper than normal.

“I’m sick,” you groaned.

“Aw, I’m sorry. What are your symptoms?” he asked.

“Stuffy nose, fever, headache, and a sore throat,” you sniffled.

“Could you take Jo for the weekend after you pick her up today? I don’t want her getting infected too.”

“Of course, do you need me to get you anything?” he asked.

“No thanks, you’re sweet but I’m fine. Stay away from my room, germaphobe,” you giggled slightly.

“You’re going to have to get Jo all ready for school. I just knocked on her door to wake her up. I didn’t want to take any chances,” you informed him.

“Okay, feel better, sweetheart,” Spencer said.

You made a kissing sound through the phone before hanging up, presumably to go back to bed.

Spencer walked inside to find Jo sitting in front of the TV.

“Mommy isn’t coming out of her room,” she stated.

“I know, she’s sick so she is protecting us from all the icky germs. You are going to spend the weekend at Daddy’s place,” he picked Jo up, bringing her into the kitchen and pouring her a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios.

“Eat up,” he said, pushing the bowl in front of her after adding milk and a spoon, “then Daddy is going to do your hair before we go.”

While Jo ate, Spencer packed her lunch and wrote a little note:

The word ‘dinosaur’ means ‘terrible lizard’ in Greek. See you later, Princess! Eat all of your cucumber slices!

Love,

Daddy

He sketched a little heart doodle to finish off the note, folding it and slipping it into Jo’s lunch box.

Spencer called Hotch as he was carrying Jo out to the car.

“Hey, Hotch. Can I have the day off?” he asked.

“Sure, Reid. You have plenty of sick days saved up. Is everything alright?”

“Y/N is sick so I’ve got Jo for the weekend and I want to clean up my apartment and do some grocery shopping beforehand,” Spencer explained, the phone pressed between his shoulder and ear as he buckled Jo in.

“Alright, see you Monday, Reid. Tell Jo I say hi,” he said.

“Will do,” Spencer hung up the phone.

“Uncle Aaron says hi,” he said to Jo.

“Hi Uncle Aaron!” Jo exclaimed even though the phone call had already ended.

After dropping Jo off, Spencer drove to the grocery store.

He picked up some snacks and food to replenish his empty cabinets so Jo wouldn’t starve at his apartment. He was going to attempt to make them spaghetti and meatballs for dinner but he picked up a bag of dino nuggets as a backup.

On the way home to his apartment, he stopped back at your house and walked inside, calling your phone as he set grocery bags down on the kitchen counter.

“Hey, I’m back. I know you said to stay away but I wanted to drop off a few things,” Spencer put the phone on speaker as he began to put away the groceries, “I got you some oranges because their vitamin C will help your immune system. I got you popsicles and ice cream to help with your fever and sore throat. I also got you some more tea and soup. And, I picked up some spring rolls for you that you can reheat whenever you are hungry.”

“You are the best. Thank you, Spence,” you sleepily replied.

“I don’t know what medicine you have been taking so far but after examining the ingredients of different over-the counter medicines in the pharmacy aisle, I found two that I think will work best to fend off your symptoms if taken together,” Spencer said, walking upstairs.

“I’m leaving them both outside your door with a glass of water,” he knelt down to place the pill bottles and water on the ground.

“If I’m up for it later, can I facetime you and Jo?” you asked hopefully.

“I will figure out how to use that just for you,” Spencer smiled.

“Just swipe to accept it like a normal phone call except then I will be able to see both of your beautiful little faces,” you giggled.

“Okay, try to get some rest, drink lots of water, and try to eat something if you can,” Spencer encouraged.

“See you later, Spence.”

After spending the rest of the day cleaning his apartment and putting away stacks of books that were on the floor so Jo wouldn’t trip, Spencer went to go pick her up.

“Here, Daddy,” she handed him a purple piece of paper with lots of glitter glue on it as she came running out of the classroom into his awaiting arms.

“Another Jo original?” he beamed, “Is this me, you, and Mommy again?”

Jo nodded, “We need one for your fridge too.”

“How thoughtful,” Spencer lifted the girl up and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“I went back home to check on Mommy and I packed you a bag of clothes and your favorite toys so you should be all set for the weekend but we can go back if we need to,” he explained to Jo as he carried her out to the car.

Spencer had managed to make him and Jo spaghetti even though it was just from a box. He even asked Rossi for his meatball recipe and made those from scratch. Jo cleared her plate so she seemed to enjoy the meal or she was just sparing her Daddy’s feelings.

They were watching a National Geographic dinosaur documentary when your contact photo came up on Spencer’s phone screen. It was a picture of you that he had insisted on taking on your date because you “looked too beautiful to not admire forever in photo form”. His phone lockscreen had also been changed from just a generic scenic landscape photo to a picture that Penelope had taken of you, Spencer, and Jo at Rossi’s party.

Spencer held the phone up and swiped accept.

“Hi!” you smiled, waving through the phone, you were still laying in bed.

“Mommy!” Jo exclaimed, standing up on the couch and sitting in Spencer’s lap to see better.

“Hi, Baby J! How is Daddy’s place?” you asked.

“Good! We had spaghetti and meatballs and now we are watching a dinosaur show and Daddy bought oreos,” Jo giggled, holding up a half-eaten cookie with crumbs on her face.

“Wow he’s really spoiling you,” you laughed, “Daddy brought me spring rolls and they are helping me get all better,” you smiled, taking a bite of one of them.

“Glad you are feeling better, sweetheart,” Spencer grinned.

“I’ll give it another day but you and Jo may be able to come back on Sunday after I disinfect everything,” you replied.

“Jo, say bye bye to Mommy so she can finish her dinner and go to bed,” Spencer prompted her.

“Night night, Mommy. Love you,” she waved at the camera, blowing a kiss.

“Bye Jo. Love you too! Be good for Daddy!” you waved back, “Night, Spence.”

“Good night, Y/N,” Spencer smiled, ending the call.

Twenty minutes later, Jo was out cold in Spencer’s lap, cuddled into his chest. Spencer smiled softly, picking her up and bringing her to his bed.

“Sweet dreams, Jo,” he whispered, giving her his usual goodnight kiss on the forehead.

Road Trip (Rafe,Kelce,Topper X Reader)

Takes Place before The Best Boys

Arguing over who gets to play music

Merging all your playlists together and putting it on shuffle.That means going from the Moana soundtrack to Good Girls Bad Guys real quick

The ending location is Kelce’s lake house in Maine

Swapping spots in the car at every stop (Mostly stops demanded by Topper who just wants a slushie from every state)

Rafe driving when you guys first take off,letting you hold his hand

After the third snack stop you sawp to sit in the back with Topper,Kelce going into the passengers seat.You and Topper would watch Finding Nemo together and you werent wearing your seatbelt,leaning against him.

You used your polaroid camera so often,snapping pictures of Kelce whenever you could,even getting some of Rafe driving.

“OOH!MCDONALDS!PLEASE!”Kelce shouted over the music,Rafe glancing at you through the mirror,asking you silently. “Dont look at me!Get the poor boy some McDonalds!”You exclaimed,Kelce fistbumping you as Rafe pulled up to the McDonalds,not quite at the microphone. “Okay,we’re about to go throught the drive thru.Does everyone know what they want?”He asked,sick of Topper never knowing what he was doing.The three of you nodded,the boys ordering cheeseburgers,large fries,McFlurries and a yogurt parfait to “stay fit”.Rafe looked over to you,asking what you wanted. “Just a caramel iced coffee and a happy meal please.”You smiled,still having food from the gas stations.

Kelce was only allowed to drive during daytime because he has terrible eyesight

“Fuck-they forgot my happy meal toy!”You exclaimed,disappointed.The second Rafe saw another McDonalds he pulled up to the drive thu,asking for a cheeseburger happy meal,checking it for a toy after the worker handed it to him,letting out a relieved sigh. “Thats a good one,too.It looks like a Marvel person.”He handed it back to you.

At four in the morning the four of you were looking for a hotel to stay the night in,Topper driving this time around.Rafe noticed you go pretty much limp in his arms,your phone slowly falling from your hands and onto your stomach.He grinned,whispering to Topper and Kelce to turn down the music.

When they finally did find a hotel you guys were somewhere in Pennsylvania,getting a room with two beds and a pull out couch.

You were pretty tired,falling asleep on one of the beds immediately while the boys went to the vending machines,Kelce looking for something other than an energy drink for you to take your vitamins with.He had come back with an apple juice,grabbing your pills from the backpack you chose to bring inside,waking you up. “Hey,princess.You gotta take your vitamins then you can go to sleep.”He grinned,placing your pills into your palm,opening the bottle of apple juice.

Rafe was too tall for the beds,ending up on the pull out couch while old Mickey Mouse cartoons played on the tv.

You were clinging to Kelce when you woke up.He was scrolling through his phone,his arm at a strange angle so he wouldnt accidentally hit you. “Morning.”He grinned,setting his phone down,moving his other arm so you could sit up. You rubbed your eyes,yawning.The shower was running and Kelce had told you that Topper went to go get coffee.At some point you had fallen back asleep,face pressed into the cold pillow when an iced coffee was placed on the table next to you.You heard the shower turn off,Rafe emerging with a towel around his waist,hunting for his backpack.You blinked a few times,thinking that he was naked for a second. “Can we stay here for the day?Im tired of being in the truck.”You grumbled,reaching for the coffee and stirring the sugar and caramel syrup that was stuck at the bottom.Topper nodded in agreement,glad to finally stretch out his legs. “Yeah,yeah okay.”Rafe nodded,sitting on the pull out,watching the tv,glancing to you and Kelce every once in a while.He heard his phone ring,heart dropping when he saw that it was Ward. “I’ll be right back.”He told you guys,accepting the call.He paced up and down the hall as Ward demanded to know where he was. “I told you for the past three weeks I was going on a trip with (Y/N) and the boys.”He answered,biting his lip. “I dont remember that.”Ward grumbled. “Its cause you dont listen to me.”Rafe answered,hanging up and turning off his ringer,huffing as he leaned his head against the wall.You came out shortly after,sweatpants and Kelce’s baggy shirt on your body. “Hey,you okay?”You asked.He nodded,sniffling.You didnt say anything else,hugging him.His arms were tight around you,kissing your forehead,eyes closing as he calmed down. “He’s so bitchy.”Rafe whispered,voice shaky.You nodded,pressing a kiss to his collarbone. “I know,I know he is.But this is a fun little trip we’re having,right?”You asked,looking up at him.He nodded,his smile slowly coming back. “Right,so lets enjoy it.Lets go eat shit and watch stupid movies,i’ll even let you pick the movie.Even though its my turn-dont forget its my turn next time.”You grinned,tapping the tip of his nose.He chuckled,letting you drag him into the hotel room,sitting next to him on the bed.Topper had taken your polaroid camera from your bag,waiting for a good time to take a photo.Your arms were around Rafe,his head under your chin as he scrolled through the movies. “Isnt it (Y/N)’s turn to pick the movie?”Topper asked.You shrugged,not wanting to go into details.Rafe eventually picked a movie called ‘Shark Night’,a grin on his face knowing it would probably disturb you.You were on your phone most of the movie,a smile on your face as Rafe moved his face up so he could take a photo with you on snapchat,blue butterflies on his cheeks.You were oblivious to the fact of Topper taking a polaroid photo.It didnt matter how much it hurt him to see you and Rafe cuddling like a cute couple,you looked happy.He wanted to capture your genuine happiness in a photo,keeping the polaroid for himself.

Rafe had managed to stay clean for a bit of the trip,eventually doing a line in the hotel bathroom,pinching his nostrils so he wouldnt get a nose bleed.

Topper had went to go get you some fruit at a nearby grocery store,figuring that you’d be more comfortable eating something healthy.

He was right,watfching your happiness increase,loosening up as you ate a bowl of cherries and grapes.The second night at the hotel you slept next to-on top-of Topper,your arms around his shoulders and legs around his waist.

The morning of the third day you guys got back in the truck,enjoying The Descendants soundtrack,stopping at a beach to watch the sunset and have a small fire.

New york was a crazy experience,the place too crowded for you to really enjoy yourself.The four of you stayed at an apartment that Topper’s mother owned because of course she had to own a random apartment in the middle of New York.You showered at the apartment,the place so cold that you had to take Topper’s long sleeve shirt from him,shivering against him.

Thats when you chose to watch Z Nation,accidentally catching feelings for 10k.You had also gotten some of the best polaroids of Topper and Kelce,including two of Kelce eating a cookie the size of his head.In the first he was biting into it,the second he was glaring at the camera,realizing you had caught him.You also got a polaroid of Topper doing meditation,headphones on and sitting on the floor.The polaroids from that trip stayed in your mini backpack and away from the others just incase the boys ever wanted to look through your polaroid stacks.

The boys also got plenty of photos of you on their snapchat and around one hundred in their camerarolls if they were all put together.

Once you guys finally got to the lake house it was nothing but laughs,camp fires,kayaking and dancing around

You and Topper decided to bake a ton of sugar cookies and frost flowers and waves on them,most of it just looking like melted blobs of color but it was still fun to do.

Sitting on the large couch and binge watching disney princess films as you all ate the sugar cookies

“We love a bisexual bitch.”Kelce grinned at the television.You guys were currently watching Mulan,one of Kelce’s favorites. “He really puts the bi in bitch.”You agreed.

Campfires were fun,roasting marshmallows.Rafe being the dumb bitch he is burnt all of his,eating one that had ashes on it,gagging.

You and Rafe went kayaking in the lake but you were paranoid as hell from the movie you guys had watched,wanting to turn around when you guys got to the deeper part of the lake.He had laughed at you,agreeing.You guys decided to just sit on the sand,his hand on your thigh as you sighed,looking out at the clouds.

You guys stayed at the lake house for around ten days,not wanting to leave the cozy place. “We should move here.Like,can you imagine all of us living together?That would all be fucking chaos.”You laughed,eyes closed as you laid on your back with a pillow under your head.Topper blushed,glancing outside one of the windows. “I feel like it’d be fun.”Kelce shrugged,flipping through the channels.

You and the boys had driven into town to the tourist shops,laughing about how you probably looked the same as the tourons in obx.You got a sweatshirt with the location on it along with a t shirt and a mug,a grin on your face when you saw Kelce looking at t shirts,figuring it would most likely end up on you more than it was on him.

The mornings were really fun,the air was cold and you could see your breath,the four of you drinking hot coffee outside and enjoying the sight of the water and the beautiful green trees.

Kelce had taken photos of plenty of leaves,claiming that they were ‘the chosen ones’

You guys found a farm stand,going and trying a ton of new things including a bottle of home made strawberry milk and dunking the leftover sugar cookies in it.

You guys even went to see a huge waterfall,Rafe doing a secret photo shoot of both the trees,the waterfall and you.

You found a really cool rock that was both shiny and green,giving it to Topper for his rock collection that only you knew about.

The drive back to North Carolina was kind of sad,missing the vibes of the house in the woods.You all decided to go back to your house and have a sleepover,not wanting to drive anymore than necessary.

“Can we get taco bell?”Kelce asked,half asleep against the window. “Bruh,I cant even think about food right now ill throw the fuck up.”You mumbled,reaching for his hand.It felt cold which was nice because you felt really warm for some reason,dragging him across the leather seat,enjoying how cold he was. “What are you doing?”He asked,not fighting it. “You feel cold.”You mumbled,clinging onto him.Rafe frowned,asking if you wanted him to turn the AC on higher.You nodded,enjoying the blasts of cool air.Luckily Kelce got his taco bell,eating only half of it before falling asleep.You felt the car pull into a gas station,Topper and Rafe swapping spots so Topper would be the one driving and pumping gas into the truck. “We’re almost there guys.”Topper told you and Kelce,the radio playing Billie Eilish quietly.When the truck stopped again you guys were at a motel,not far from the docks where you’d have to catch a ferry in the morning.Topper just carried you in,letting you sleep against him on the bed,only waking up to the alarm that had been set.

The ferry ride was a blur.Kelce’s silver car had been parked in his cousins garage,the four of you getting inside and driving right to your house,all of you going back to sleep in your living room.Poor Rafe didnt even make it onto the couch,falling asleep on your floor.You were all asleep until mid afternoon,Rafe having a slight sunburn on his nose,cheeks and forehead but not so bad that he needed aloe.Kelce was walking like a zombie,making coffees and hot pockets,serving them to you guys. “Shitting hell-you didnt take you vitamins last night.”He cursed,handing you the small fist full and grabbing you a water bottle.

“dammit-we have to redo the whole trip!I forgot to get a slushie in every state.”Topper huffed. “Fuck dammit,bottom!” “Well who’s fault is that?Who’s is it?Not mine” “Maybe you shouldve driven the whole time!” Topper pouted,all of you attacking him at once.

“I made a cool edit though,you wanna see?”Kelce asked you guys,excited as he went into his cameraroll,not waiting for an answer.There were clips of you guys in the car,screaming the lyrics to the Ever After High theme song,the next clip of you and Rafe cuddling on the pull out mattress,weird filters on your faces.The next was Topper trying to get chips out of the vending machine,nearly getting his arm stuck.

“Shut the hell up!Its almost my favorite part!”You shouted,shushing the boys as your favorite part of Rewrite The Stars came up.

“Im going to catch this frog-im gonna do it.”You were determined,squatting over the long grass,staring down. “Shit-I lost it!”You laughed.

Topper tried to balance a sugar cookie on his nose,failing and losing it to the couch. “NO!THAT ONE HAD A SUNFLOWER ON IT!”He cried,searching desperately for it.The camera then moved to you and Rafe laughing then to Kelce,a smile on his face as he glanced down at the phone screen.

It was all funnier than it shoulve been since the theme song to little einsteins was playing the background,the video ending with a video of you and Rafe battling eachother with pool noodles,Topper shouting about fowl hits and how it was ‘illegal in the land of narnia’

“Wow,freaking photographer ass.”Topper chuckled,making Kelce shrugged. “I mean,I learn from the best.”He smiled at you.

Headline Pt 1- Kuroo Tetsurou

AU: Parent

FEM!Reader

Word Count: 2.3K

Pt 1 | Pt 2 | Pt 3

“Long time girlfriend of Tokyo volleyball player, Tetsurou Kuroo, left their apartment early in the morning with a bag. Is it splitsville for them?”

You rolled your eyes, laughing slightly as you read the article headline. The “early morning” was for your early meeting and your bag was filled with books that you were returning to the library, books that you wanted to throw at the person who wrote that.

This must have been the fifth article that you read this week about yourself and at first, you were annoyed or angry, but after a second, you always found it kind of funny. Where did these people get their ideas for stories? Did they just put them into a random prompt generator?

The only thing that you knew for certain was that someone was outside of your apartment taking photos which is a little unsettling. You’d have to remind Kuroo later, maybe see if the two of you could get a little extra security.

This was your home and you weren’t going to let them take that away from you.

When you started dating Kuroo, you knew that he was a volleyball player for the Tokyo team, but you didn’t expect for people to be invested in the player’s lives or who they were dating. You didn’t mind though, being with Kuroo was all that you could ask for, and if you had to live with people knowing who you are, then it was worth it.

Your head turned as you heard Kuroo coming through the front door. “Did you hear? We’re heading for splitsville. I want the apartment. You can have everything else.”

Kuroo laughed and sat beside you on the couch, picking up your legs and placing them on his lap. “I thought that we broke up 5 months ago? And I want the apartment.”

“Nope,” you smiled, “Apparently my bookbag holds all of my possessions and I’m leaving you. Why would I leave if I get the apartment? They should really think about that before they post these things. Maybe they should be more cautious of you leaving the apartment.”

Kuroo patted your legs. “Please, I couldn’t fit anything in one backpack. You’ve seen all my stuff.” He gestured around the room where all of his trinkets were littered around, and then looked back at you, grabbing your hand. “You okay?”

You lead your head to the side, resting on a pillow. “Yeah. Are you? How was practise?”

“Tiring. My arms feel like they are going to fall off.”

“Too bad,” You sighed, “I like your arms.”

Kuroo laughed. “But I get the day off tomorrow so we could do anything tonight?”

“Like going out to eat? I already put food in the oven.”

Kuroo shook his head and leaned over to kiss you. “Something more along these lines.”

You laughed kissing him back. “The food’s going to burn.”

“We’ll get take out.”

You have been throwing up for the past week. Your throat felt raw every morning after breakfast and your morning ended with you on the bathroom floor and calling in sick to work.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to go with you?” Kuroo asked, putting on his shoes.

You slipped your feet into your own and stood up, keys in hand to lock the door behind the two of you. “You’re already driving me there. I’ll be fine, Kuroo, I’ve been to the doctor’s office before alone and you went with me last week when they drew my blood”

“But you don’t like going alone, even if I just sit in the waiting room” Kuroo frowned, opening the door. “And lucky I did because needles terrify you. You know my hand still hurts from how hard you squeezed it, like, I really thought it would be broken when you let go.”

You laughed. “I think you would know if your hand was broken. As long as needles aren’t involved then I’ll be okay.”

“Fine, but if you need me then call me. I’ll always come.”

You didn’t have to sit in the waiting room for long, but you were nervous. You’ve never been called back when you had blood tested. Usually, they would send you a message from their service system to let you know that things were fine, but somehow you just knew things weren’t fine this time.

You sat in the doctor's office for a bit though. You were too nervous to look at your phone because you already felt it buzz a couple of times and you knew that it was Kuroo asking how things were, so you looked around the room and read the posters on the walls.

There was a particularly interesting one about the policies of the office that you didn’t know and one about the effects of food poisoning, which seemed kind of random, but you read it anyways. You were throwing up a lot, so maybe you had food poisoning and it was really bad that you needed medication or something, but the poster told you that food poisoning only lasted a day or two, so that wasn’t it.

“Ms.(L/N)?”

You tore your eyes from the poster and to your doctor. “Yes? I’m dying right?”

Your doctor laughed and sat down behind his desk, placing a white box on it. “No, uhh, quite the opposite really.”

“What’s the opposite?”

“Congratulations, you’re pregnant!” Your doctor said, smiling brightly at you brightly. He tapped on the white box in front of him. “These are prenatal vitamins that should last a week or so, but if you want more of them you’ll have to go to a pharmacist.”

You laughed. “I’m not pregnant.”

The doctor’s eyebrows shot up. “Yes, you are.”

“No, I’m not.”

“Ms. (L/N)...you are.”

“Oh…”

“Are you okay?”

You sat up straighter in your chair and smiled, looking down at your stomach. “Yes? I think. I mean, I always wanted to have kids…”

“Do you need the front desk to call someone for you?” Your doctor suggested. You knew that he was alluding to Kuroo because he was the person you’re usually with and he probably assumed that Kuroo was the father.

“No, it’s okay,” you stood up. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”

You went home and baked two dozen cookies. Kuroo called you a stress baker, but never opposed it because it meant that your apartment always smelt like sweets. Apartment. It would be a house soon wouldn’t it? You and Kuroo could afford a house and you’ve always wanted a house when you had kids.

“I smell cookies!” Kuroo announced as he walked through the door. He kicked off his shoes, placing his bag near the door and walked over to the kitchen counter where a fresh batch of cookies sat. He grabbed one and took a bit. “They’re good, but you only bake when you’re stressed. How was the doctor?”

You turned to him, but continued to mix your brownie mix. “It was good. Nothing bad. And I bake regularly too! These are happy cookies.”

“And what are you happy about?” He asked, taking another cookie.

“I’m pregnant.”

You didn’t look up as you said it because you didn’t know where Kuroo would stand. You’ve been dating for five years and the topic never really came up, but last year he said something about having a family together. It’s only now that you thought that it could’ve been a joke.

“Is it mine?”

You shot up at that. He didn’t look too thrilled, which made you want to throw up the cookies that you ate before he came. “You think I’m cheating on you?”

He shook his head. “No! It’s just.... You’re pregnant.”

“I am. That’s what the doctor told me.”

“What are you going to do with….it?”

You furrowed your eyebrows. “What am I going to do? Don’t you mean we? It takes two people to make a human.”

Kuroo stood up, an unreadable look on his face.

Your shoulders sank. “You don’t want kids.”

“I do,” he said quickly. “I just don’t want them now.”

You blinked. “Not now? It’s not like I can postpone it or something.”

It was silent for a bit after that. You were looking at Kuroo, but he was looking at the ground. You were really scared in the moment. It was like time had stopped on you but you were still running.

You were frozen.

Kuroo started walking to the door. “I have a practice game tomorrow. You...You can have the apartment.”

You walked out from behind the counter. “What? Are you breaking up with me? Kuroo?”

He grabbed his gym bag and shoes and said, “You can have the apartment.”

Then he left.

Kuroo hasn’t gone back to the apartment to get his stuff yet. He’s been meaning to though. It’s only been a couple of days since his fight with you and he’s been couch hopping. He’s been keeping an eye on the media too, since you told him that there were people stalking the apartment, he made it a point to check it every once in a while to see if you were caught leaving the apartment.

You weren’t.

“Kuroo! I need to talk with you,” his coach said.

They lost their game and even though no one said it, everyone on his team could tell that he was off. He would miss easy set ups, spiked out of the lines and most of his serves hit the net. During the second set of the match, his coach gave him an odd look and switched him out, but Kuroo couldn’t even bring himself to care. He barely watched the rest of the game, his eyes glued to the floor and his mind thinking about you.

“Yes?” He said, bringing the towel up to his forehead.

“What’s going on? You’ve been off lately.”

“I, uhh…” Kuroo said. He and his teammates were close enough to talk about their personal leaves in the locker rooms every now and then, but their coach never asked nor seemed to care. Kuroo was worried about his answer. He didn’t want to lie, in fact he wanted to tell someone, he didn’t mention it to his friends, who let him stay on their couches, but what if telling his coach meant that he would be benched for the rest of the season?

He already lost you and he didn’t think he could take any more losses.

“You probably don’t want to tell me,” his coach started, before Kuroo could decide whether to lie or not. “But what you’re going through affects this team, which affects me. The truth, please. I won’t judge.”

But people always do.

“My girlfriend,” Kuroo said in a low voice. Practice was still going on and the sound of volleyballs smacking the floor drowned out their voices, but this wasn’t something that Kuroo wanted other people to know. “She’s pregnant and I broke up with her? Kind of? I left after she told me.”

The coach’s face hardened. He was definitely judging, but Kuroo didn’t mind, he deserved the judgement.

“Is that something you want?” His coach let out slowly. “A kid?”

“At this moment, I don’t know?” Kuroo said, leaning against the wall of the gym. “I’ve always wanted a future with her and a future like that, one where we would get married and all the things that come after that happened, I see kids. In our future, I see kids. I think I was scared…I didn’t think that we would just skip all those steps.”

His coach sighed. “Kuroo, I’ve had four kids and each time is scarier than the first. It’s terrifying to bring someone into the world, but it’s one of the most amazing things too. What you’re feeling now, your girlfriend is probably just, maybe even more scared than that. Breaking up with her and leaving as soon as she told you? That might be a side effect of you being scared, but it doesn’t mean it was right, it doesn’t mean you leave her alone when she’s scared. You love her right?”

Kuroo nodded. “But what if I got back and she doesn’t want me anymore?”

“Then you offer what you can,” his coach said, patting him on the shoulder, “and you accept the consequences for your actions.”

Kuroo rubbed his eyes. “Can I be excused from the rest of practise?”

His coach gave him a sad smile. “In my mind, you’re already out the door.”

Kuroo was breathless as he climbed the stairs to the apartment. He was still in his volleyball clothes with his keys clutched in his hand.

“(Y/N)?!”

The apartment was the same as he left it, the cookies were still on the table and the kitchen light on.

“(Y/N)! I’m really sorry. I want this kid. I want to spend the rest of my life with you if you’ll let me. I’m so sorry. (Y/N)?”

No one answered back.

He rounded the corner and went to your bedroom. All of his stuff was still there, but your side of the room was empty.

Your clothes gone. Your books gone. Your pillow gone.

“(Y/N)?”

Kuroo slowly backed out of the room. Numbly, his footsteps brought him back to the kitchen and saw a piece of paper on the counter that he had overlooked.

You can have the apartment.

As requested! There will be a second part too… I’ve never read something like this before...so I hope it’s okay.

To the requester: I changed the ending just a tad bit...I hope you’re okay with that!!!

I hope you enjoyed!! - Kiwi

The Worst Third Date Ever part 31

Chapter 31: Those Crackers.

A Month Later.

Max had been working part time between the school and the Smithsonian, Spencer started to teach at the university and the rest of the time he was at home researching or getting calls from the BAU to ask him things about the cases they were working on.

They were always busy but they find time to have dates. Sometimes he went to the Smithsonian and have lunch together or he order food for dinner.

They managed their time pretty good. Every women in his classes got sad the moment he said he was married. But that did not stop them from continue going to his classes.

One day Max was not feeling good, she was nauseous and could not hold anything in her stomach. At first she thought it was a food poisoning so she just drank some tea and tried to eat light things. But it did not got any better.

She called both works saying she was not feeling good so she will not go that day. They accepted it and wish her to get better soon.

Spencer did not want to leave her alone but she told him to go give his classes, she will be fine alone for a few hours.

He left still unsure but told her to call him if she needed him. She decided to call Michelle to asked her to come over her house to talk with her while he was gone and asked her to bring a package of crackers.

When Spencer arrived he saw his wife and sister-in-law talking in the living room and he saw the package of crackers on the coffee table. His brain started to work faster making connections.

"Spencer?" Said Max at him a little worry then he realized she was worry because he had some tears on his cheeks "baby are you ok?"

"Ye...yeah, um... Max when did you have your last period?" He asked looking at her.

"Well last month, but it should had came last Frid..." She just realized the same thing her husband did "wait... Do you think I am...?" She could not finish the question.

"Oh my..." Michelle was also in shock "I will get you a pregnancy test" she stood up after the couple nodded. When Michelle left they hugged tight.

"I will book an appointment with the doctor to be 100% sure" he said still hugging her.

"Ok... Gosh... Just when we just started a new job and are so busy" she said looking up at him.

"We will find a way. Beside you have your family. My mom will be so excited"

"I bet she will know the moment she looks at us" said Max "she is so much like my mom. When Michelle got pregnant, mother knew immediately" she laughed but had some tears.

He kisses her head softly "you know that the moment you and I start dating, my mom loves you as her daughter" she hugged her tight until Michelle arrived.

Max cleaned her tears and walked in the bathroom. She stayed there for some minutes, Spencer and Michelle waiting out of the bathroom.

When she walked out she looked at them "let's wait some more minutes for the result" she held Spencer's hand and wait some more until she checked the test. It showed a little "+" sign, she showed it to him and her sister "it's positive..." She has happy tears once again and hugged them. They hugged back all happy for the new addition to the family.

After some minutes hugging they broke the hug and Spencer called to book an appointment for her.

Before Michelle left they asked her to not tell anyone until the doctor's confirmation. She nodded and promised not to say anything until they gave her permission.

The couple sat in the living room and hugged "according to the paper in this test. It's very accurate and 99 of 100 results are real" she said with her head on his chest "when is the appointment?"

"Next Monday. They said we need a week to run a blood test, just in case and after that the doctor will do the ultrasound"

"What made you think I was pregnant?"

"Those cookies... I remember JJ and Kate, a former coworker, ate them when they were pregnant" he looked down "and other symptoms that made me suspicious"

"Mister Profiler in action" she laughed "I think the guess room will be the room of the baby"

Their house had four rooms, the main room, Spencer's office, Max's studio where she paint or plan the projects for the Smithsonian and the guess room. Also have two bathrooms, one in the main room and other downstairs. A living room, a dinning room and the kitchen.

"Yeah that's a good option. That room is big enough for everything the baby would need" she nodded.

The rest of the week passed without incidents, they decided to hold the excitement so no one know before it was official.

The day if the appointment, Spencer and Max met at the hospital. While he arrived the nurse ran the blood test and Max was filling the paper they gave her.

He walked to her and sat next to Max "sorry the students asked a lot today and I needed them to understand everything for their assignment"

"It's ok. The doctor haven't finished yet with the last patient. After her it's our turn" she kissed his cheek.

She finished the paperwork and handed it to the nurse. Then wait some more until they called them.

They walked in the office and the doctor was reading the test in her computer "hello Mr and Mrs Reid. I'm Dr Hailey Underwood" she smiled at the couple "ok, according to your blood test, you are pregnant Maxine"

"Please call me Max" the doctor laughed softly and nodded.

"Ok Max, you are almost 8 weeks pregnant. We can check the baby, go to the next room, change and lay there. Mr Reid, there's a chair if you want to take a seat" he nodded and they stood up and walked there.

Some minutes later the doctor walked in and started the exam "well everything looks great, I think you will give birth in November" the doctor continue to check the baby and she stopped at some point looking the screen in shock.

"Is everything ok doctor?" Asked Max and Spencer at the same time.

"Yes everything is ok... I'm just surprised because you are going to have twins" she said trying to show them on the screen "it's not so clear right now but I saw another leg hiding behind" both parents were in shock but still happy to have twins. He kisses her head after the doctor finished the ultrasound "ok while you clean Max, I will write you a prescription for some vitamins and a list of foods you will need. Also your next appointment will be around 13 to 20 weeks to know the gender of your babies"

The doctor left the couple "oh my... I can't believe we will have 2 children" said Spencer surprised.

"Yeah me neither" he helped her get up and walked back to the office of the doctor where she was finishing.

"Ok there is everything you will need" she handed her the paper "set the appointment and take care. Enjoy this beautiful experience... Both of you" she shook their hands and they left.

"Should we tell everyone already?" He asked as he opened the door of his car.

"It's official now, so why not?" She got in and he walked to the driver seat getting in the car "beside. The BAU people are like your family, your mom needs to know as soon as possible and we can tell my family tomorrow night. Michelle told me last week they wanted to have a game night"

"Sounds like fun" Spencer decided to go to the nursery home his mother was in.

"We like to do it to be all together one day per week" she said looking out the window "or per month if we can't do it each week"

"I'm really enjoying your family traditions. They are so much fun" she held his hand "I'm glad tobbe part of them" she kissed his hand as they arrive to the nursery home of Diana Reid.

They both walked out and went holding hands in the place. The nurses greetings and congratulated them.

When they reached the reception the nurse there took them to the room Spencer's mom was.

When they walked in the woman jumped off the bed and walked straight to them. She was smiling big "when did you find out?"

"A week ago. But we wanted to make sure" commented Max then looked at him with a smirk "It still surprised me how moms know"

"It's a super power you unlock the moment you see those little eyes. You can read them like a book" said her rubbing her son's cheek "but come in and sit down, I need to know everything so far"

They did as she said and they told her about the honeymoon, Max showed her some pictures she took with her phone.

They told Diana about Max's new job at the Smithsonian. How they found out about their pregnancy and they told her she will be the proud grandmother of two babies.

"Oh my God... I will have two grandchildren. I can't wait to meet them" she smiled "I will have to find the perfect gift for them so they always remember grandma Diana" Max and Spencer smiled at that. Spencer still got sad thinking every time with her could be the last one, so he enjoyed them as much as he could.

"I'm sure everything from grandma Reid will be memorable for them, mom" said Spencer holding the tears and his voice from cracking.

"Honey don't cry. I'm so happy right now so don't mess up this moment" the three laughed. Then the nurse came to let them know they have to go. They hugged Diana and let the hospital.

They went to buy something to eat and when to the park.

They just enjoyed that day of joy. They will be parents and will have twins.

The next day Spencer texted his BAU family to asked them if they were up for lunch with him and Max. They were all agree and he told them to meet them at the Chinese restaurant, their favorite when they were in town.

When all were there and the order was set they talked, he even invited Penelope. There were so teasing from Tara about Luke and Penelope.

They all laughed at her blush and his awkwardness. They keep talking happily then Spencer decided to talk cleaning his throat "ok guys we invited you here to tell you something. Something very important" he said smiling at them "recently Max and I found out that..."

"We are expecting!" Said both at the same time.

It took the rest of the team some time to understand what they meant but when they did, they all congratulate them and hug them.

"And not only that..." Added Spencer. The team looked at him "according to the doctor, we will have twins"

"Oh my... So I will have two godchildren to spoil?" Asked Penelope.

Max laughed softly "yeah but don't spoil them to much" she held Spencer's hand "I'm glad they will have you all around because as I told Spencer, you are his family so you are all like uncles and aunts for them" JJ has some tears at that.

"I always wish Spence could be father one day. Since he held Henry and watching him with all the kids we ever helped, I just imagine him being a good father. Congratulations" she raised her cup and everyone did the same "for the new BAU babies" then they clinked their cups.

"We will have baby geniuses" said Penelope "Oh I volunteer to plan the Baby shower" Max nodded, not wanting to unleash her anger.

They continued to talk while eating and when they all finished the team returned to the office, Spencer drove Max and Penelope back to their work and he went back to the campus to teach.

At night they told Max's family and Sammy was beyond happy with the idea of have two cousins and promised to help his aunt Max when he can.

The night was very relaxing, they played Uno, Scrabble and other board games. Then Max and Spencer left early.

It was a busy day so they were both tired and felt asleep almost immediately.

A week later, Spencer was checking his students essays about the last class, while Max was a the Smithsonian, when he got a phone call.

The call was from Emily, he stood up to get more coffee while answering "hey Emily, is there a case?" He asked as he reached the kitchen.

"Hey Spencer, no we don't have a case. I was calling to know how are you and Max"

"We are great, she is dealing better the morning sickness and I had to buy a bunch of crackers for her. Also something weird happened. She said since we found out about the pregnancy, she can't handle the smell or even the taste of coffee"

"Oh my... And that's your addiction" she laughed "how are you managing it?"

"Thankfully my working hours are when she isn't here so I can drink it all day" they both laughed.

"I heard that could happens but also her wanting weird foods"

"True, she haven't asked me for something weird just yet"

"Great, but be prepare" he laughed "there's something else I need to tell you. I had been wondering how I will tell you this but I can't keep postpone it any longer"

"You can tell me anything, you know it"

"Yeah I do" Emily took a deep breath "The women's prison called me yesterday. They booked Catherine Adams' execution to this Friday. They said she didn't asked for her last meal, she was happy with what she got when she had that weird date with you" Spencer closed tight his fist around the cup "she asked for you to be there"

"I said I wanted to be there when that needle stick in her arm but now I'm not sure"

"I know she did horrible things to you and I will understand if you don't want to. Sleep on it and let me know. And ask Max. If I were her I would totally want to show off my ring to that bitch" Spencer could hear her smirk and could not help but smile.

"I'm sure she would stick that needle herself"

"I bet she would" Emily laughed "call me with your decision so I can inform the prison you will be there"

"Ok, bye Emily" they ended the call and went back to work. His mind still thinking about it.

At night he decided to cook something for her and when she arrived she was surprised by it.

"Are we celebrating something?" She asked looking at her husband.

"No I just wanted to have a night date and tell you something" he gave her a plate with baked chicken with mashed potatoes and a glass of water.

"Is it bad?"

"I don't know" he answered honestly "well I guess Emily and everyone in my team told you everything about Cat Adams" she nodded "when she was at the FBI offices, she said she plead guilty of 73 murders and request the death penalty" Max nodded, remembering Emily saying it "they booked it this Friday"

"Oh..."

"Yeah and Emily asked if I would like to go. I told her I would be there to happily see her death but I'm not sure it's worthy"

Max held his hand gently "you should go. That bitch needs to know she didn't win. She needs to know that we beat her"

"Yeah... But I don't.... Wait a minute... Are you suggesting to...?"

"Yes Dr. Spencer Reid, I want to go. In fact I would gladly change position with the doctor to stick it in myself" he laughed and nodded.

"Of course you would, then I will tell Emily to send our names to the prison" he kisses her hand.

They are changing from topic to topic then cuddle in the couch.

"Do you have any idea of how we should name our babies?" She asked playing with his fingers.

"Well I have two names I would like to use" she looked at him expecting "since there will be two babies. If we have a boy and a girl I would like Jason and Diana. Any of them could be first or second name I don't mind"

"And if we had two boys or two girls?"

"I'm not sure yet" he looked at her "and what about you?"

"Well I think I would like Rachel, that was my mom's name and my boy option could be Alexander, that was the name of an uncle who made me realize I should study art" she smiled "he was amazing and I miss him so much"

"Sounds perfect, so maybe we can play with those four options. Jason Alexander Reid and Rachel Diana Reid. And if we have two girls or two boys we can use them our two options as first name and just add a second name. What do you think?"

"I think it's perfect" she kissed him. Then they both went to their room and falls asleep hugging each other.

The next day Spencer called Emily and let her know the decision they made. Then she informed the prison.

In a few days he will have his revenge.

OOooOOooOO

Next will be the last! Cat will have one last appearance in Reid's life, I want to do an epic thing that makes her be angry, something like Hotch did in Riding the Lightning when he showed that criminal Sarah Jean saved her son.

Got my inspiration from this video: https://youtu.be/OcZj0KM4MuA

3. Have you taken someones virginity?Yeah I did.

4. Is trust a big issue for you?Actually yeah. I mean I got myself a family that I trust but it was always hard for me to start trusting someone. Now when I do trust someone, then it isn’t an issue anymore.

5. Did you hang out with the person you like recently?‘Hang out’ heh? That’s how the kids call it today? But really, of course I do. Woke up next to him a few hours ago.

6. What are you excited for?Don’t tell anyone. Maybe christmas. Definitively for my wedding.

7. What happened tonight?Hmm. I made dinner, we watched a movie. Cas was telling me about some new facts about bees. I tried to teach him pool. He disctracted me. We went to bed ;)

8. Do you think it’s disgusting when girls get really wasted?What even is this question? Get wasted if you wanrt. Just be safe.

9. Is confidence cute?I think so.

10. What is the last beverage you had?Whiskey.

13. What are you gonna do Saturday night?Trying to teach Cas pool again. Or maybe watch a movie and just enjoy a nice day without almost dying.

14. What are you going to spend money on next?Hmmm good question. Probably pie. But I’m also eying some classes I’d love to take. So maybe.

15. Are you going out with the last person you kissed?Oh hell yes.

16. Do you think you’ll change in the next 3 months?People always change a bit. I think maybe it’s little things. I do hope to get happier. Without having to worry all the time.

26. Is your current hair color your natural hair color?Yes it is.

34. Listening to?Led Zeppelin.

35. Do you ever write in pencil anymore?Sometimes.

36. Do you know where the last person you kissed is?Yeah I can hear the shower and you know what? He sings sometimes in there.

37. Do you believe in love at first sight?Ask me ten years ago, I’d say no. But when Cas came into that old barn? All powerful and hot? Maybe I got hard. But really the love came after I really got to know him.

38. Who did you last call?Charles. Invited her over.

39. Who was the last person you danced with?Cas. I just dunno grabbed him and spun him around in the bunker. I think he was kinda surprised but it was nice.

Soup with soul

Blue-gray eyes scanned the table in front of him. A myriad of objects and things were strewn about its surface, all lined up, all set up nice and proper and in a perfect little line: sacks of flour, a sack of cane sugar, an array of measuring cups and teaspoons, a rolling pin, a bottle or two of pure extracts...

A gentle sigh escaped him as he donned his cooking apron.

Abelärd was a whimsical soul. A real romantic who loved this time of year. It was a time of festivities and gatherings, of people coming together under the unified banner of love and peace. Foolish notions perhaps. But he was happy being a foolish old man with foolish notions.

He loved the joyous change in the air. He loved the cozy corners of rooms where one could retreat to and read a book. He loved the gentle lilting sound of music coming from the radio. He loved the smell of baked goods-- of cookies and challah-- heavy in the air. The sharp, comforting earthy sting to the nostrils of freshly ground cinnamon. A warm mug of tea in his hands, radiating warmth up his numbed fingertips.

He cooked and baked for a variety of reasons. To feed his loved ones, to feed the base. To pass time, of course. To make sure people ate a good, healthy, hearty meal and acquired a much needed boost of vitamins during the cold season. But, mostly, it because he enjoyed it. It made him happy. Not as much as painting a portrait, or sketching one’s likeness in charcoal, but he liked doing it, almost as much. And he enjoyed cooking because he was good at it. He made some of the best, heartiest stews, soups and meals you could ever imagine. His twin brother, Aldous, was always the better one when it came to baking. Aldous was a virtuoso when it came to concocting confectionery wonders.

He cooked kosher foods and non-kosher (seeing as how most at the base did not follow kosher requirements). He cooked with dietary needs in mind (he was a doctor; he had medical files on everyone on his base, including allergies and things they had to stay away from). He made vegetarian dishes. He made dishes for those who loved meat. He made dishes for those who were lactose intolerant, or gluten sensitive. No matter what he made, everything had one common link: it was made with love.

Today he had emerged from his infirmary, leaving his half-finished paperwork behind. He needed a break from his job. What better way to take a break than bake a little goodness? Stir in a little happiness? Give something to someone, feed them, spread a few smiles around. Pass on the love and care that this world so desperately needed.

His cookbook was placed off to the side, numerous multi-colored tabs marking each type of dish, side dish and dessert. Today he settled on a good classic meal: a basic potato soup with homemade bread on the side. The soup would be nice and creamy, heavy enough to stick with someone most of the day. Kosher, but with enough taste to keep one coming back for more. And for dessert, he’d make an apple cake, a closely guarded recipe passed down from none other than his own mother.

His base would be eating good tonight.

He diligently cut the potatoes into cubed chunks, diced onions set aside in a bowl. Music drifted lazily through the air; the radio station was running a series of Christmas-based music all day. A bit too early for the Medic’s tastes, but he wasn’t about to complain. Complaining did nothing. Only made one’s blood pressure rise.

A warbling coo caused him to momentarily pause. As he was reaching for the salt, he glanced over at the sack of flour. Engel, his beloved mourning dove, had taken roost on a canister of pre-ground nuts. The tiny pigeon had fluffed up its feathers, making it look nice and plump. Contentedly it watched the Medic, its beady little eyes blinking, the smear of blue around its eyes looking like a swath of expertly applied mascara.

“Ah, look at you,” he murmured softly in his native language. “Coming to watch your papa make some food for the team?”

“Coo-wooough, ooh, ooh.”

“It’s funny,” he went on, his smile becoming increasingly nostalgic with each passing moment, “cooking makes me remember mother. She used to cook for us all the time. Sang while she stirred the soup. Hummed while she tenderized the meat. She was always having a song in her heart.”

The plump little mourning dove craned his head a bit, looking up at the human who not only was its owner and caretaker, but, in a strange way...

“And,” Abelärd continued, picking up the cutting board before taking it over to a pot, soup base set to a low boil, “she loved making soup.” He slid the cubes of potato in, watching them bob up and down from the heat of the cream. “She said it was her favorite thing to make. That she loved making soup with soul.”

“Coo-wooo...”

“Admittedly, I didn’t understand what she meant. Even after our father died, and she taught us how to cook on our own, for the family... I didn’t understand it.” Picking up the dish of cut onions, he added that. “It wasn’t until I was older did I understand.”

In a calm, gentle voice he told a story to the content little mourning dove, softly cooing in the warmth of the kitchen. He told the bird of a mother’s love. Giselle Johanna Haswell, that was her name. And she made sure no one went without a meal.

Meißen was a nice tightly-knit community when he was a kid. A merger of French influence and German heritage. The streets were calm enough, and there wasn’t much trouble to be had. The Haswells weren’t a rich family, nor were they a poor one. A meager middle-ground. They made do. They had a garden out back where most of their fresh vegetables came from. They pooled together what money they had for the week to get fresh meat at a deal. Whatever they didn’t use right away, they canned or cured for later. It was a nice little existence.

Still, there was sadness on the street they lived on. There were two families who were worse off than they. The epitome of poor at the time. The children of those two families ran around in patched up rags. Dirty faces and scraped knees. They often went without food. The parents worked long, hard hours. Shivering in the cold of a factory building, barely able to make ends meet, blistered feet and worn out shoes with holes.

Abelärd remembered when their father, Friedrich Walfried Haswell, died. He fell ill when they were six, and died shortly after their seventh birthday. For the months following the family mourned. So stricken with grief was Giselle that she didn’t leave her bed for what seemed to be weeks.

One day, on her many trips out to try to get a fresh of breath air in her constant state of mourning, Giselle came across the children of the two families. She saw them stealing from the local marketplace, stuffing fruit into their pockets. They managed the steal the fruit without being caught, and she quietly followed them to see what they’d do.

She witnessed the children pooling together their goods, making sure each kid had an equal amount to take home.

Her heart, as she had told her children, felt as if it were being torn into pieces, and she felt grief anew. Not for her husband, but for the children who, so hungry were they, were stealing food for each other, for their families.

“After that,” Abelärd recounted, stirring in the rest of the ingredients, “she made it her purpose to make the world a better place. She returned to cooking, and she found a renewed sense of passion in it.”

“Cooo...”

“She taught us how to cook, and we often made big batches of food. Meals that we three could not eat by ourselves. I often went over with my brother to deliver the rest of our food, giving our ‘leftovers’ to the two families in need.” His expression softened, becoming sympathetically somber. “And I will never forget,” he murmured softly, “the gratefulness in the way they smiled. The tears in their eyes. The way the children hopped around their parents, excited to get some soup.”

And then it struck him. Abelärd ceased his stirring, and he looked down at the soup he was making. He hadn’t used a small pot, or a medium one. He had used the largest one he found, making the biggest batch he could. Of course he made food for the base and his loved ones-- he always had. But he never realized why he did it, the natural desire to do so. The realization now dawned on him, like the cresting sunrise over snow capped mountains-- sparkling, crystalline, clear.

He was picking up where his mother left off. He was making soup with soul.

“...Cooo...”

“...yes, yes. Of course. I didn’t forget you!”

Turning his attention back to the plump little mourning dove, he moved away from the pot, letting it simmer for a bit. With a merry twinkle in his eye, he picked up a bit of freshly baked bread. He pinched a bit off of it, rewarding his little dove for being oh so patient during that story.

Watching the hungry little bird gobble it up, bobbing its head in delight, the man couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement.

“Such a patient little child. Did you enjoy the story?”

“Coo-woooh... ooo, oo, ooo...”

“Good.”

Wiping his scarred hands off on a dishtowel, he gave the bird a fond little pat before returning to the soup. He was going to make the best soup he could, and he was going to make sure everyone was going to leave that dining hall full and happy.

...Maybe he’d save some of it aside, in a bowl, and take it over to his brother later on. He was sure his brother would enjoy it. After all, with the family recipe, it was sure to be a trip down memory lane.

Abelärd knew how much Aldous still missed their mother.

Runny Nose (Single dad!Harry)

I’m literally sat at home waiting for my thesis partner to come over so we can do final revisions, scrolling through tumblr and just thought “would love to write some cuddly single dad harry hm....” and wrote this out of the blue with no rhyme or reason? Nothing triggered it? IDK? Just me always needing/wishing for Dad!Harry? This will be attached to my single dad! Harry WIP for sure, specially if you guys like it.

--- update: he(my thesis partner) came over and we advanced and now im back to writing this before i go to bed hopefully. Enjoy whatever this is. Also it’s not proof read :) ---

He felt terrible. It wasn’t that he was still sick, as he had been the previous week with his weird sounding voice, stuffy nose, and tired limbs. By now he had very much recovered and would be able to say he was back at the swing of things had it not been for the fact that he had the most caring bundle of love to ever exist in his house with him, obedient and cuddly little Elodie, whom had decided, in her smart 5 year old mind, that she could and would nurse daddy back to health – with ”love, kisses and a tonne of get well wishes” as she had said – and stuck to him like a bug stronger than the virus that ran in his system. And while that was the most adorable thing, he now felt awful.

He felt terrible because ideally, getting sick while being a single parent was not advised, specially if no one else could swoop into the rescue so that exactly what was happening now didn’t happen at all. Caring bundle of joy and all, Elodie had caught a cold Harry knew her little 5 year old body was spent with.

After being a zombie for a week, one that Elodie worked through expertly – picking up after herself, being quiet so he could rest, and lying that his cooking was delicious as ever, even though he couldn’t taste anything and therefore all had the same flavour of rubber – it was now her who upped the zombie count to one on the styles’ household.

But this was what Harry could handle, he thought as Elodie snuggled up to his chest in a deep sleep, soft snores coming from her clogged up nose, hands tight around his neck looking for warmth.

This was how it went, the parent takes care of the kid.

So even though he felt horrible that she had caught the cold he had already pushed through, he put on his dad pants and worked his best to make this go away as fast as possible for her. As she slept soundly on his chest in the living room couch, his hand softly removed her fever-sweat sticky curls from her forehead, feeling for the thankfully lowering heat. With heavy heart and eyes he picked her small body up in his arms as he walks towards the bathroom ready to run her a much needed bath. “El... wake up pet” he whispered as he dipped his fingers in the water, feeling for the right temperature. With a slur and a moan of discomfort, Elodie opened her eyes and let her dad give her a nice bath as she complained that her nose ran and her throat itched, Harry taking notice that her puffy cheeks were rosier than usual. ”I know love, I know” he sighed worried kissing her forehead and making sure to handle her with extra care and soft hands as he scrubbed her with a sudsy sponge. He took the time to put a wad of tissue to her nose so that she could blow out all the nastiness. “Oh!” he dramatised as she blew and blew, the last one specially hard “Oh! There yeh go!” He joked, afterwards claiming that it was gross with a disgusted face that made her laugh and giggle, the sound immediately putting a smile on his face. After that he moved quickly so that she wouldn’t get cold, wrapping her in his arms and a warm towel as soon as he called the shower over and she pushed her hair out of her eyes with a smile hanging onto her daddy’s frame with all her might.

Getting her to eat was the worst part. No matter how much Harry tried, Elodie just hated food right now. “Eli, please yeh have t’eat so yeh can take the medicine an’ feel better” He knelt in front of her chair, spoonful of his mother’s famous be-gone-cold soup in hand. Any other day Elodie would clap and cheer for it, but all she did now was pout and get teary cause today she did not want to even look at the liquid. This was the most tedious part, convincing her that if she just ate one more spoonful – then one more and one more until he was content with the nutrients she’d gotten in her system – then he’d let her watch movies in his room all night and would give her the medicine that tasted like grapes instead of the slimy strawberry one – which he’d make her drink in the morning anyways – “Daddy, can I have cookie too?” she batted her eyelids after swallowing the warm food, as if Harry wasn’t already weak enough for her green eyes and long lashes. He faked reflection as he spooned some more soup that she ate without a word just looking him with a small smile. Clever one. Would get the world on the palm of her hand if she kept this up. “Yeh’re lucky yeh’re the cutest” Harry mumbled agreeing to just one cookie later that night, knowing mighty well it would turn to two or three cookies tops if she kept asking so gracefully.

And at the end of the day, when Elodie was inevitably falling asleep on Harry’s chest, after another Disney marathon, filled with the vitamins that would eventually help her battle the sickness, and snuggling her favourite teddy bear, he’d take her in his arms once more and settle her in the middle of his big bed, making sure to engulf her in the sheets to keep her warm all night. “Night daddy” she would yawn, showing her small growing teeth. “Night bug” he would smile right back pinching her cheek in both an act of affection and a way to check for a creeping fever she delightedly didn’t have. To Harry it was the biggest relief of his life that she seemed to be getting better very quickly.

And as usual, sooner rather than later she’d ask to lay on his chest like she always likes doing, and through a runny nose Elodie would ask him to sing her to sleep with that song she loves. And that would be how Harry would end his day with his favourite little girl pressed tight to his naked chest, not even an ounce afraid of catching the cold back from her for he had taken the job to also fill his body with the vitamins necessary to ward off anything – even having to gulp some child medicine to prove to her it tasted yummy – and humming Love by Nat King Cole to her ear, hand rubbing comforting circles on her back, lips pressed to her head leaving tiny kisses here and there, as he did just how she had done and made sure to nurse her back to health with love, kisses and a tonne of get well wishes.

This is not proof-read. Feedback is very much appreciated! idk what im doing or why i’m trying to write again but here’s a very random thing :) Hope you liked it!! Also please recommend me more kid names that are sorta unusual and cute.

All Eating Is Emotional

In hindsight, my feelings have always played out through food. In my first year of university, crippling loneliness and isolation manifested itself in hot, delicious comfort food, and cooking going wrong (as cooking is prone to do) would trigger an aching homesickness. Sometimes I would slave over the stove making something amazing, only to find my appetite disappeared after three bites, because it was hard to eat alone. I often considered dropping out. I put on weight, and panicked. It sounds stupid, but I’d never really noticed putting on body fat before. I wasn’t sure how to process it. I always thought I’d been comfortable in my skin, but I guessed I’d just always been thin. The solution turned out to be big pants. The waistbands didn’t squeeze my body and make the fat bulge out over the top. And they were comfy as fuck. But equally, this was just covering up the problem - not so much the body fat, but my discomfort with it. For comfort, I spent time watching cooking videos on youtube, and ‘what i eat in a week’ videos. I loved the pleasure these people got from food - not just cooking and eating, but the way these processes looked, the sounds they made, the cosiness of it all.

Second year was somewhat better. I lived in a house with 6 other people, and we got on well. I had friends. I enjoyed my modules. But then, in other ways, it wasn’t. I was still insecure, still shy, despite being able to speak out in classes. I assumed that everyone hated me and found me annoying. Particularly the people I desperately wanted to like me. I wasn’t eating alone 24/7 anymore, but various stresses still seemed to manifest themselves in food - particularly from a health perspective. I worried about nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and becoming a vegan exacerbated this. The popular Netflix movie Gamechangers made me believe meat and dairy would destroy my body (although I had started cooking vegan food before watching it). I googled what vitamins were in what foods, and started obsessing a little. I even found a website that would track nutrient intake for me. I didn’t enjoy my meals that much. I bought vegetables that I struggled to use up. Although I’ll demolish it now (with hummus and tortilla chips), at that point it was difficult to get through a whole cucumber before it went dry and manky.

In the end, I cracked a bit. I recognised my obsession with healthiness for what it was. I went to the supermarket and bought the thick, creamy yoghurt pots that had comforted me in first year, and ate three in a day, because I wanted to say a big fuck you to all the nasty little voices in my head. And then the weird fatigue problems I’d had for a few years - but had recently disappeared - made a glorious return and hit me like a train. I felt awful for an entire week. Surprise! You’re lactose intolerant, bitch. But despite this setback, I decided to be a lactose intolerant vegetarian who occasionally eats chocolate (and meat), but mostly cooks vegan meals. I ate garlic bread, curly fries, and Greggs vegan sausage rolls. I ate instant ramen, hot dogs, salads. I ate Burger King’s Rebel Whopper several times in one month, and in lockdown I am dreaming of it.

Home for the Summer (and Coronavirus), things took a strange turn. My parents, a GP and a self-proclaimed basher of fat people, are not the easiest people to live with. Discussions of ‘healthy’ eating quickly turned into rants about responsibility and morality, and slapping pies out of people’s hands. My mum vocally envied my skinny body, complained about her weight, and although she claimed to be dieting for the sake of not having to buy new clothes, one day she grabbed her belly while looking in the mirror and called it ‘disgusting’. It put things into perspective. Like they had for me, her ideas about ‘healthy’ eating came from a place of confusion and anxiety.

I switched to a new contraceptive pill. My tits grew, and, weighing myself frequently (out of curiosity, I would tell myself), I panicked to see my mass slowly increasing. This, coupled with my mum’s issues (often projected onto me) made me feel like I was treading water. I was terrified of gaining weight, and finally admitted it, venting by texting my own number. It turned out to be my singing teacher’s number. He was very understanding, and sent back some encouraging words. The ones that stood out the most were: being happy is more important. I discussed with friends the way our mothers pass their issues around food and their bodies onto us, often forcefully. One told me how her mother got her a membership for Slimming World when she was nine. I was angry, and then I was sad.

As a kid, my mum weighed me and my brother periodically and wrote everything down in a notebook, next to the date. She frequently berated me for not eating ‘healthily’ enough, for eating too much ‘beige’, etcetera etcetera. She lamented the weight of other children and the state of their lunchboxes. She told me she would be equally worried if I was overweight or underweight. She lamented that I did not do any exercise. Adults commented on how slim I was - all of this while I was still under the age of eleven. At primary school, we had multiple lessons on ‘health’, all of which were focused on eating and exercising. At one point I took it upon myself to try and be ‘healthier’ and ordered a free package from Change 4 Life. I put down what fruits and vegetables I had eaten each day on a chart with stickers. So while the anxieties about eating well that had grown within me seem like a complete mystery, when I look back, they had solid foundations. Eating is not a case of ticking boxes, of getting our five a day, of choosing to drink water instead of pop, of never going to McDonalds. We eat to allow us to do other things. We eat because we are hungry. We eat for pleasure and to socialise with others. And all eating is emotional, whether we like it or not.

But all through lockdown, while I was pondering these things, I was cooking. I made casseroles, and curries, potato wedges, dishes of roasted vegetables, cakes, cookies, enormous sandwiches stuffed with crisps and jalapenos, big gloopy bowls of porridge, pies drowned in instant gravy. Sometimes I picked, sometimes I gorged. I cleared our cupboards out of lentils and chickpeas and beans. I also ate oven chips and takeout pizza and liberally salted my cooking. I enjoyed all of it with equal vigour. My nails grew at an alarming speed, which I have heard is a sign you are well nourished. However, sometimes I would fear my appetite - particularly its new potency that had arrived after cutting out dairy. What does it mean, I wrote in my diary, to be a woman with an appetite? The next day it rained and I went running for the first time in months, because I remembered how pleasurable it was to do so in bad weather. I had a small epiphany. An appetite meant I was alive. I didn’t just desire food, I had an appetite for all kinds of things. Sex, running, sleep, music. And I wasn’t bad for wanting them - I was human.

No food is bad for you!

That’s right I said it! I said it! There is no such thing as bad food. Does this statement seem controversial? Does this statement sound wrong? Do you think I have no clue what I’m talking about already?

WE LIVE IN A DISORDERED EATING SOCIETY.

I see it all around me and even I have fallen victim to it, even I have to battle my own self-defeating mind.

We do not have a healthy relationship with food and we do not have a healthy relationship with our bodies. We are constantly battling ourselves to be an imaginary ideal. We buy into the marketing that we can achieve some higher level of health if we just eat this food and cut out that one because it’s “bad”, if we drink this shake, this tea, no potatoes, no gluten, no sugar, this berry from the middle of a forgotten land that holds the fountain of youth. We fight our bodies to transform into different shapes and we really honestly think that we are worth less if we don’t look a certain way or eat a certain way!

I have been working as a Registered Dietitian for only a short time now but already the biggest trend, the root problem, with most of my patients is this:

Balance

We are trying our best to fix imperfections in our society but we are horrible at balance.

Health is not about perfection, it is about balance.

There is no food that in and of itself will bring you disease and death (I mean of course no food that is properly handled. Of course there are foods that aren’t cooked or handled properly that will give you food poisoning that can be very life threatening, so I am referring to foods that are properly handled, of course). Yes, even those chicken nuggets from Mcdonalds will not bring you ill health, or make you fat, or lead to your overall demise. Rather it is the imbalance of it that will. You can have that donut and you will be just fine, maybe even better for it. Let me explain.

As an example, I came across an article on a well known website called Goop. This is the one that Gweneth Paltrow, the great beauty, owns so you know it must be good right? Maybe even if we do the things that she does we will be just as beautiful and healthy. Weelllllllll, I found the article to be so utterly misleading. It is titled :

The article goes on to interview this Steven Gundry who states that tomatoes (among other vegetables that we normally eat) are actually bad for us because they cause disease. He explains that plants protect themselves by making poisons to discourage animals from eating them. True. And that some plants have protein called lectin that is harmful to us. True. He sights an incident in which a group of medical doctors had a kidney bean salad at a conference and they all got very sick, vomiting and diarrhea, True. He states it was the lectins in the beans that made them sick. True. But he only presents part of the picture, only part of the truths. He neglects to mention that they got sick from the kidney beans because they were not properly handled. Eating raw or undercooked beans is one of the causes of food borne illness, that’s why we advise people to thoroughly cook their beans and never eat them raw, that’s why there are no dishes, in countries where beans are a staple food, that contain raw beans. He neglected to point out that if we cook beans the lectin in them is denatured and rendered inactive, passing through our guts without causing harm.

Gundry does not share the whole picture, that while it is true plants contain substances that are harmful to us in large amounts, they also contain substances that are essential to us and bring immense health benefits. He neglects to mention the BALANCE of these plant foods. He states that “I’ve become convinced that plant lectins and the havoc they promote are the root causes of almost all diseases.” Not true! How narrow-minded and harmful this sentence is. If you scroll down to the bottom of the article it lists Gundry’s credentials as:

Sounds important, But when you look into “the international heart and lung institute” you find that it is actually an uncredited private practice that he owns. Also even further down the page of the article in very small writing it states:

Well played Goop, well played. So after many people read this article and become convinced that they should cut out grains, beans, tomatoes, peppers, goji berries, eggplant, and all types of squash (because they are all recommended by Gundry to “steer clear of” because they all contain lectins and are therefore “deadly”) basically Goop covers their tracks by essentially stating these statements are unsubstantiated and are only intended to “create a conversation” and not be followed as medical advise. Now those people have cut out yet even more food that provides essential nutrients in a cheap and accessible, sustainable way.

Because the truth is, the whole picture is, that these plants are tremendously beneficial, that no food is PERFECTLY healthy even if it is “clean”,and that if we only ate these foods, there might be some gut issues that we experience, but if we balance these foods with others than we will have a well rounded intake of vital nutrients that are essential for our bodies including but not limited to: fiber (for our intestinal flora health and blood glucose control), a plethora of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemical, protein, and carbohydrates (that provide much needed energy to our cells especially the brain, nervous system, and red blood cells). Phew! And that if eaten in balance, the lectin in these foods is negligible and the benefits far outweigh the cons.

Health is about balance!

The stress we create around food and having to only and always eat the “perfect food” will cause more damage to our bodies than the “bad” foods that we desperately try to avoid. Because that pesky cortisol you are pumping through your body due to the stress and unhealthy relationship that you have created around food is more damaging to your cells than even that evil donut.

I’ll leave you with this statement that we read to our patients with eating disorders or disordered eating behaviors:

“What is normal eating?

Normal eating is going to the table hungry and eating until you are satisfied. It is being able to choose food that you like and eat it and truly get enough of it, not just stop eating because you think you should, Normal eating is being able to give some thought to your food selection so you get nutritious food, but not being so wary and restrictive that you miss out on enjoyable food. Normal eating is giving yourself permission to eat sometimes because you are happy, sad, or bored, or just because it feels good. Normal eating is three meals a day, or four, or five. or it can be choosing to munch along the way. It is leaving some cookies on the plate because you know you can have some again tomorrow, or it is eating more now because they taste so wonderful. Normal eating is overeating at times, feeling stuffed and uncomfortable. And it can be under eating at times and wishing you had more. Normal eating is trusting your body to make up for your “mistakes” in eating. Normal eating takes up some of your time and attention, but keeps its place as only ONE important area of your life. In short, normal eating is flexible. It varies in response to your hunger, your schedule, your proximity to food, and your feelings.” - by Ellyn Satter.

I advise you to search for balance instead of the fountain of youth.

I’ll also leave you with this wonderful ted talk about body acceptance:
