Thoughts on 3rd life mirror birds. 3rd life big dogs. 3rd life property police. They fascinate me and I think you have thoughts on them but I might be wrong..either way

i do in fact have thoughts on them but i think if i talk about 3l!flower husbands publicly any more rn I’ll get so self conscious I’ll explode on the spot. this being said i have still yet to watch evo but its been on my list for forever bc of 3l!property police specifically… i really love martyns petty grudge against jimmy for those first two episodes he acts like he’s 12 and really pissed off on the playground. anyways i think that martyn going from being concerned for his friend to Just Fucking Lying to split up Scott and Jimmy, because he took personal offense to Jimmy being unwilling to drop everything to go live with him on the spot is the funniest thing in the world. Girl it’s not about you

(Not) What I Want in a Second Chance

Ch 1: The Devil is in the Details

//Tw: Emotional manipulation. Death, grieving, alcohol abuse, suicidal ideation; anti-android sentiments, and anti-android language. CyberLife is an unsettling mix of FB, Amazon and Google. Be prepared

Hank had his fair share of regrets, it came with the amount of time he had been on the force. His family fell apart. There were lives he could have saved if he had only been faster. The consequences that came with hitting a patch of ice; just to name a few. There were days he debated putting in for retirement, but he knew where that would lead. One more added to a growing statistic. Another retired detective that chose to suck on a bullet; and that was assuming anyone cared enough to come check on him. So he drank instead. On the days he woke up in time, he went to work. On the days he didn’t he woke up only to start drinking again. Another hopeless, tired man on the fast track to a whiskey filled grave. He wasn’t as bothered by that as he probably should have been. He wasn’t bothered by much anymore. If he could think clearly that meant he needed a drink. There was one thing that always bothered him though, and that was androids. He found them creepy over all, they had no reason to look that human. Then one had killed Cole; or rather, stood there and did nothing while he died. That had been when Hank had drawn the line. In that moment they had gone from something mildly off putting to something he actively despised.

That was why he liked places like Jimmy’s. It was one of the few places left that wasn’t overrun by androids, and the other patrons left him alone. Everyone was nursing a different sorrow so conversation wasn’t a priority. He could treat his grief with whiskey until he was face down against the bar and no one would judge him for it. Tonight was shaping up to be one of the rougher ones. He couldn’t drown his regrets no matter how much he drank. The thoughts refused to blur. It wasn’t Cole tonight. For a change, he was thinking about someone else he had lost. Connor Paldeki was one of his earlier partners, and his favorite even still. He had belonged to the Deerborn Police Department originally and they had met on a particularly bad homicide case. They worked well enough that they were paired for joint cases pretty often after that. So when Connor was transferred to Detroit it only seemed natural that they were made partners since they had previous work history. Even as a rookie Connor had been bright. He could pick a scene a part and put it back together with ease and accuracy that was almost scary. Hank had been certain that he was on the fast track to making rank. Then the Red Ice bust had happened and Connor’s glowing career came to a sudden and bloody end. Hank had wound up promoted, but it felt hollow somehow. Like it was a consolation of sorts.

He felt like it was written in Connor’s blood. Hank had been told that he hadn’t felt it, that he had been dead before he hit the ground. They hadn’t seen him though with the fear of death frozen on his face. None of the them had the haloing pool of blood seared into their memory. For all the consolation they tried to give him, they hadn’t been so powerless as to see the life leave the eyes of a dear friend. The papers had praised the whole raiding group as heroes, painted the thing like it had been a success. In a way it had been; they’d gotten what they were after, but they had lost three officers in the process. Connor, and two officers he hadn’t known from the SWAT team that had accompanied them. No one talked about it, and Hank wanted to scream. He went through the motions; his mandatory grief counseling, being a pall bearer for Connor’s casket; and then he took some time off to try and process all of it. When he got back he took the small bonsai tree from Connor’s desk and pretended things were alright. He had to be. He was Lieutenant now, he couldn’t just break. He took care of the tree like Connor was coming back and would be upset to find it dead. He continued to try and love Ezra even though things were falling apart slowly, and he did his job. If he just kept going something would have to got right eventually. He hoped so anyway; because if it didn’t then what the fuck was all of this for. When Cole was born Hank had thought that was the start of his better days, and it had been for a while.

It was some level of pathetic that the most put together his life had ever seemed to be was when he was drinking himself into an early grave. He was pulled away from that train of thought by the feeling of being watched. That sense of awareness wasn’t something he could turn off even when he was drinking away what was left of his coherency. He looked up from the bar, and there was Connor, but something was off. Aside from the fact that he was dead, had been for over ten years at this point. He was here in the flesh, and Hank was almost willing to write it off as a drunken hallucination. There was just something about this Not-Connor that was bothering him. It took longer than it should of for his eyes to land on the blue LED at his temple. He’d had to tear his eyes away from the face that had haunted more than it’s fair share of his nightmares for the better part of a decade. CyberLife had accounted for every little detail. Down to that stupid curl that had always refused to stay put no matter how much gel Connor put in his hair. He could hazard a guess at how they had gotten that information. They had files on everyone it seemed, whether or not someone owned an android didn’t seem to matter. Or, since it had been over a decade they could have pulled it through FOI, but Hank sincerely doubted that.

“Lieutenant Anderson?” He - It asked. Hank couldn’t place it, but there was something wrong about the voice. It was almost exactly Connor’s, but there was something wrong about it. He was tempted not to respond, but he had the feeling this Not - Connor would wait there all night even if Hank ignored it. “Yeah,” He huffed, “What do you want?” “My name is Connor.” It started, and Hank wanted to scream, this was not his Connor. Not the right one, “I am the android sent by CyberLife. There has been a homicide and I was told to find you; which I was lucky enough to do after the fifth bar.” “Fuck off.” Hank groused. “My instructions were -” It started, but Hank cut it off. “I’ll show you where you can stick your instructions.” He muttered. That seemed to give it pause. Where is Connor would have laughed and made a remark of his own, this convincing fake just looked pathetically confused. Hank almost pitied the thing, but it wore the face of a dead friend and that wasn’t something he could forgive. “What if I buy you a drink?” It pressed, “Would you come with me then?” Hank gave an annoyed sigh of defeat and relented. The sooner he got this over with, the less time he would have to spend facing this walking lie, “Fine.”

In the most put upon way the thing that was not Connor flagged for another whiskey and even paid for it. As annoyed as he was, Hank had to admit he was almost impressed. The real Connor would have never set foot in a bar unless it was for a case. It made it easier to distance one from the other. He nursed his new whiskey for longer than was strictly necessary. If they were going to do this, they were going to do it his way. He drove to the scene with his music loud enough that talking would be a pain in the ass, and the thing had still tried to make conversation. Hank would have turned into oncoming traffic if he was certain this thing wouldn’t have tried to stop him. It certainly seemed to have a purpose other than torturing him. “Stay in the car.” He said firmly when they arrived at the scene. “Got it.” It said in a way not too unlike the actual Connor and it made Hank’s stomach twist in disgust. It didn’t actually stay in the car of course, and Hank hadn’t really expected it to. It had it’s orders after all, and so did Hank unfortunately.

Hank took a bitter sort of satisfaction in Ben’s obvious discomfort when he saw it. Whatever comment he had been about to make died and he let them by with a tense nod. Every person on scene that had known the real Connor looked distinctly troubled by the fake; and that had been before it had licked any evidence. Hank passively observed the scene, he wanted to see what this thing was made of.  Was his computer brain anything like how the real Connor’s had been? Better? As much as he hated the thing, he was curious how it would stack up against the real thing. The other android self destructed in the end, even with Not-Connor’s unsettling attempt at compassion. Or perhaps because of it. It was something Hank hoped he would never have to see again. By the time they were done for the night, Hank had one question that was weighing on him. “Why do you look this way?” He asked as he gathered his things. “To ensure your cooperation.” Came the flat reply. That was when Hank realized what was wrong; the voice held no emotion to it. The next thing it said was what chilled Hank to the bone, “They figured you wouldn’t want to the cause of your partner’s death for a second time, and it was too soon to use the image of your son.”

Hank wasn’t sure what hurt him more; the blatant manipulation, or that fact that if seeing his dead friend again didn’t hurt him enough CyberLife wouldn’t be above using his son against him. When he made it the parking lot he threw up in a near by trash been. He didn’t remember the drive home, but when he got to the house he made sure to feed Sumo before he grabbed the Black Lamb and his revolver. When darkness finally came for him he didn’t know if it was because he had drank himself into unconsciousness again, or if he had finally won at Russian Roulette. He just hoped he never came out of it. He couldn’t do this.

A Bottle of Bubbly

Characters: Ninth Doctor; Rose Tyler

Tags: Human AU; New Year’s; meet-cute; fluff; hurt/comfort;mentions of cheating; non-graphic mentions of war; drinking; strong language

Notes: Well, here I am again… fashionably late, as usual, an entry for the 31 Days of Ficmas. I wrote just two stories for Ficmas this year, and while I used multiple prompts for each, ironically, the Day 1 prompt, Snowed In, and the Day 31 prompt, New Beginnings, were the forces chiefly driving the muse for my first and second (last!) story, respectively.  

The inspiration for this story was a random prompt I found online somewhere (I don’t even remember the exact wording…) The @doctorroseprompts  prompt from the 31 Days of Ficmas, New Beginnings, was also inspiration for both main characters, although the words aren’t specifically stated in the text. But the spirit of them is strong and a guiding theme throughout the story. I also used the Ficmas prompts shopping and countdown, and the Winter Fic Bingo prompt night. 

As always, my love and gratitude to my wonderful betas, @rose--nebula and mrsbertucci. Thank-you for making me better. I’m an eternal fiddler, so I fiddled with this since they saw it… but all mistakes are mine anyway!

Summary: Rose made directly for the liquor aisle, determined that what she really wanted to bring in the New Year was a bottle of bubbly. The shop was nearly deserted, except for the unlucky few employees who had drawn the short straw for the night’s graveyard shift, so she was shocked to find another customer in the liquor aisle, standing in front of the wine shelves, his hand around the neck of the very last bottle of sparkling wine.

A Bottle of Bubbly

Rose Tyler staggered out into the night. The pub door swung shut behind her, silencing the raucous shouts and cheers and endless chatter. As she stood on the doorstep, the bubble of silence clung around her like a hug, before dissipating into the city, replaced by the steady rumble of traffic. She took a deep breath, letting the cold air fill her lungs and clear the spinning of her head.

She was alone.

New Years-fucking-Eve and she was alone. Not exactly how she had planned her evening to go, but she swore to herself, it was the last bloody time, Jimmy Stone, her cheating ex-boyfriend, would ever get another chance to ruin her life.

But Rose didn’t want to think about him right now. He was now officially part of her past and could rot in hell for all she cared. What she did want to think about was enjoying the rest of the night and bringing in the New Year properly plastered. She’d already made a decent start of it with a couple glasses of wine and a few shots. She supposed she could try out a few different spots (far away from Jimmy-the-Wanker), and do a regular old pub crawl, solo-style. Dressed to kill, she reckoned she’d never be without a drink in hand and would probably have no trouble finding a bloke to pull. 

A car whizzed by, drunken twats hanging out the passenger windows, catcalling at her, spouting some shite about having her “seeing fireworks all night long.” She tugged her coat tighter around herself and sighed. On second thought, shagging complete strangers wasn’t really her thing. Maybe she could meet up with Mickey, instead, at the local near the Estate. With a little coaxing, he might take her home for a cheeky shag to bring in the New Year. It wouldn’t exactly be fireworks, but it would be safe and familiar. And she wouldn’t be alone. Mickey had never been able to say no to her.

But then – she sighed, and her shoulders sagged – she’d have to explain herself, answer all his nosy questions, admit things she’d rather keep to herself for now. Everyone would know, soon enough. No doubt the Estate would be rife with the gossip of her falling-out with Jimmy by daybreak. Besides, she’d be taking Mickey away from Trisha Delaney. That wasn’t fair, doing to Trisha exactly what had just been done to her.

“For fuck’s sake,” she snorted as she stumbled onto the pavement, her head woozy with drink, “I’m worried about hurting Trisha Delaney’s feelings. The stupid cow! Clearly, I’m thinkin’ too bloody hard about this. More to the point, I’m able to think too bloody hard about this. And I’m talking to myself… Blimey, I need another drink.”

Setting out on her quest for another pub (just for drinks, no pulling, she reminded herself), she tottered down the street, swaying precariously on her too-high heels, tugging down her too-short dress as the bitter wind bit through the too-sheer fabric of her tights. This was rubbish, hopping from pub to pub. All she really wanted was something strong to drink, her warm flat, and her telly. She’d be alone, but she’d be warm and, with any luck, thoroughly pissed long before midnight.

Decision made, she hopped on the nearest bus, and half an hour later, with the effects of her earlier drinks lamentably wearing off, she trotted into the 24-hour Tesco, close to the Estate. She made directly for the liquor aisle, determined that what she really wanted to bring in the New Year was a bottle of bubbly.

The shop was nearly deserted, except for the unlucky few employees who had drawn the short straw for the night’s graveyard shift, so she was shocked to find another customer in the liquor aisle, standing in front of the wine shelves, his hand around the neck of the very last bottle of sparkling wine.

“Oi! That’s my bottle, mate!”

The man turned to her, his brow knit quizzically above his aquiline nose. “Excuse me?” he challenged in a strong Manc accent.

“That’s my bottle,” she reiterated.

“No,” he placed the bottle into his shopping basket with a tight-lipped smile, “it’s not.” Without another word, he turned his back to her and walked away up the aisle with long strides.

“Fuck,” Rose muttered through gritted teeth and rushed after his receding form. “Oi, Mister! Mister!” She caught up with him just as he reached the end of the aisle and she tugged on the battered leather sleeve of his jacket.

He swung around, rolling his eyes at the sight of her. “Oh, it’s you again!”

“Yup, jus’ me. Hello! The owner of that bottle of fizz.” She sidled up to him and flashed him what she hoped was a winning smile. She even poked her tongue between her teeth. That always had blokes dribbling on their shirts.

Much to Rose’s disappointment, the man remained unmoved, stony-faced as ever. Then with a snort, he turned and walked away from her once more.

“Oi! Mister!” she yelped, scurrying to catch up to him again. “You can’t jus’ go swannin’ off like that…”

He didn’t even break his stride. “Yes, I can. ‘Ere I am. This is me, swannin’ off.” He gave the shopping basket a defiant little shake.

Rose knew she should just give it up at this point, go back to the liquor aisle and find something different to drink, but she was determined to have that wine. After having had her night ruined, she reckoned she deserved to have something special. “Hey, Mister! C’mon! You can’t just walk away. That’s not fair. Mister! Mist– Oooph!” She nearly crashed into him when he suddenly stopped in front of her.

He spun around and glared at her. “Seems fair enough to me. W’at isn’ fair is you not lettin’ me do my shoppin’ in peace. Now, scram!”

Rose held her ground, meeting his gaze. He was a striking figure, quite a bit older than she, dark and brooding, his features unconventionally handsome below his military haircut. She should have been intimidated, but instead she found herself getting lost in the blue of his eyes as they flashed down at her.

She crossed her arms over her chest. “I could call security, ya know! Tell them you took it from me. So, it’s your choice. Hand it over, or I’ll start screamin’ for help.”

He scoffed. “Is that supposed to sound tough?”

“Sort of.”

He called her bluff, “Doesn’t work,” and started walking again, but this time she tripped along by his side. She wasn’t going to let him go, not while he still had that bottle.

“Mister… I need that wine! If you knew what I’ve been through tonight…”

“You need to leave me alone. Looks to me like you’ve ‘ad quite enough to drink already.”

“C’mon, Mister. Please.”

“No! An’ it’s Doctor.”

Rose quirked an eyebrow at him.

“You keep calling me ‘Mister’. If you’re so set on using honorifics, you’d better use the right one. I go by Doctor.”

“Doctor? Is that supposed to sound impressive?”

“Sort of, yeah.”

“If you’re a doctor, how comes you’re shoppin’ at a 24-hour Tesco… in Peckham?”

“I live ‘ere. Jus’ ‘round the corner.” He stopped at the deli counter and tossed some packages of sandwich meats and some cheese into his basket.

“What? On the estate? You must be new. I haven’ seen you ‘round ‘ere before.”

“That’s ‘cause I jus’ moved in this afternoon, me, and I’m having this champagne (or whatever the hell it is) to celebrate.”

“Blimey, don’t think we’ve ever had a doctor livin’ on the estate, before.” Rose narrowed her eyes and cocked her head at him, curious. “W’at’s a doctor doin’ livin’ ‘ere anyway?”

He didn’t speak, just stared at her with eyes cold as ice, and his jaw set and tense, and Rose bit her lip, wishing she could take back her brazen words. It was none of her business why anyone might need council housing.

“Erm... Doctor, you’re gonna need some bread to go with that other stuff,” she ventured, attempting to make up for her thoughtlessness, “an’ some milk and tea, maybe some eggs. And a couple cans of beans. Ya can’t go wrong wi’ beans-on-toast.” She linked her arm with his and proceeded to lead him through the shop.

As Rose nattered away to him, he maintained a detached silence, except to offer bewildered grunts to her various queries about the items she heaped into his basket. Finally, as she placed a box of tea on top of the mound, he smirked down at her, and spoke: “I hope you’re not attempting to curry favour so I’ll give up the bubbly.”

“Never gave it a second thought,” she fibbed with a cheeky grin. Honestly, she just wanted to make it up to him for being rude, but she had hoped, maybe…

He pulled the bottle out of the basket to peer at it. “It’s proper British Fizz, you know.”

“Oooh, lovely! Somethin’ a bit posh. Don’t know w’at it’s doin’ here, in a Tesco on the flippin’ estate. Guess they reckoned people wouldn’t be thinkin’ about the cost so much when they’re bringin’ in the New Year.”

“Yeah, gonna cost me an arm and a leg, this is.”

“The price don’t matter to me. Not tonight. I’d be happy to take it off your hands if you’re having second thoughts…”

“Ahem… nope.” He placed it back into the shopping basket. “Worth every penny, this. I have plans for this fizz.”

“Yeah,” Rose muttered, rolling her eyes, “so did I.”

They headed toward the checkout each lost in their own thoughts. “So, what’s your story, then?” he asked after a few moments. “Tell me, what makes you so deserving of this posh beverage on New Year’s Eve?”

Rose shrugged, her problems seeming rather small and distant, now.

“C’mon then. You said earlier, you’d had a rough night of it. So?”

“You sure you wanna hear me rattle on? It’s pathetic, really.”

“I’ve been listenin’ to you rattle on non-stop for the las’ twenty minutes, anyway. So, I’m all ears… and no jokes about these silly things hangin’ off the side of me head.”

“I would never! ‘Sides, there’s nothin’ wrong wi’ them. They suit you.”

He looked unconvinced by her compliment. “Well… out with it then,” he insisted, changing the subject back to Rose as he began to load his groceries onto the checkout counter. “I’m waitin’ on this great tale of woe.”

“Alright, you asked for it.”

“Yes, I did!”

“Okay, so, earlier tonight, I found my tosser of a boyfriend (ex-boyfriend now, by the way, and good bloody riddance!) out back of the pub, gettin’ a leg-over with one of the servers. It was humiliatin’. And you better believe I told him what he could do with his bloody– Well anyway, I ended up slappin’ him (and fuck that felt good!) and walked out. Thought about goin’ to a few other pubs, but I decided I really just wanted to go home, watch the countdown on the New Year’s Eve Fireworks programme, an’ get hammered in peace. I s’pose I jus’ wanted the wine to make me feel a bit more… special.

“And that’s about it. See? Pathetic. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” She wagged her finger at him.

“Oi, not pathetic at all, Miss, erm… Blimey, I don’t even know your name.”

“Since we’re neighbors now, I s’pose I should probably tell ya, yeah? It’s Rose… Rose Tyler.”

“Nice to meet you, Rose. I’m John Smith,” he returned.

“John Smith? That’s it? Pull the other one! John Smith?”

His shoulders stiffened. “Well, if you don’t like it, you can jus’–”

“Nah, nah, nah, it’s fine. It’s nice and, erm… straightforward.” Rose couldn’t help the smile that blossomed over her face at his sudden offence. “It’s jus’ I think from now on you’ll always be the Doctor to me.”

“Fine...” he huffed, shaking his head at her as he paid for his order and gathered his bags. “Anyroad, gettin’ back to your tale: it sounds to me like you’re well shot of that stupid ape boyfriend of yours.”

“Ex-boyfriend. And yeah, Jimmy’s a right arsehole. To be honest, I don’t really feel all that upset about it. Thought I’d be gutted, yeah? But all I can think is that it’s no great loss. Reckon it was a long time comin’; shoulda dumped him ages ago.”

They walked out the doors of the Tesco and headed in the direction of Powell Estate.

She shrugged, adding, “I’m mostly just pissed off that he ruined my plans for New Year’s.”

“Yeah, rightly so!”

They walked in slightly awkward silence for a short time before Rose braved asking the enigmatic Doctor more about himself. “So… you’re a medical doctor, then?”

“Yup. Was a doctor in the military for years. Resigned my commission ‘bout a year back. Figured I’d seen enough…”

Rose glanced up at him, frowning concern at the tenson etched on his face again. “What are your plans now?” she asked, hoping to take him out of whatever unspoken horrors lingered in his past.

“I’ve always planned to start my own practice, me. Thought I could open one right here on the Estate.”

“Blimey, mate, it’s a war zone here too, sometimes.”

He grunted. “All the more reason you need a doctor.”

“Can’t argue wi’ that. We haven’t had a doctor ‘ere for years. The old one jus’ cleared off one day, no notice. He was just gone. His clinic is still there, though, between the chemist and the launderette. No one’s let it. Bet it’s a bargain!”

“You think?” He offered her a smug smile. “Already made arrangements, me.”

“But that’s brilliant!” Rose cheered, grabbing his arm and bouncing up and down. “When do you take possession?”

“Beginnin’ o’ next week,” he said as they strolled into the Powell Estate quad. “But it’ll be a bit before I can get everything set up properly. Plus, I have my flat to sort out. Boxes everywhere.”

“Don’t ya have some mates to help ya out?”

“Nope. There’s no one else. Jus’ me.” His words were blunt, his voice rough with emotion.

Rose watched his Adam’s apple bob heavily and grabbed onto his hand. “W’at happened? Doctor?”

He swallowed again and looked down at their joined hands.  

Rose gripped a little tighter, but he wriggled his hand free of hers, leaving behind an aching emptiness deep in her heart. She ducked her head. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to pry. I jus’… Oh, never mind.”

The strained silence returned for another minute or so as they walked, then he sighed. “Rose, war changes a person. I came back a very different man. I had plans, me. Was goin’ to start a practice as soon as I resigned my commission. Even had a place all set to go in my hometown. But I couldn’t make a go of it. Too much baggage. I haven’t been able to keep a steady job, all this time. And I lost people, good people, because they couldn’t take any more of my shit. My mates, my fiancée. One way or another, they’re all gone, and I can’t say I blame ‘em. That’s who I am, now. I drive everyone away from me.”

Rose’s heart swelled with compassion. “There’s me…”

They paused as they approached the entranceway to Rose’s building, and he shook his head, rolling his eyes at her and offering a guarded smile. “Yeah, you I can’t seem to get rid of.”

“I’m just too good.” She beamed at him, poking her tongue between her teeth again. This time, she noted, his eyes drifted to her mouth.

“No, you’re jus’ too drunk.”

“Uggghh,” she groaned, “I wish. I never got a bottle from the shop, after all.”

Grumbling deep in his throat, he dug in his shopping bag and extracted the bottle of sparkling wine. “There you go. Happy New Year. Take this and go home and celebrate your freedom from that twat. Now, go on, forget me, Rose Tyler.” He pressed the bottle into her hand and turned away, striding off toward the building opposite hers.

Rose watched him go, feeling rather lost. Numbly, she headed toward the staircase of her building, the bottle dangling from her fingers. She had her prize, but somehow it seemed a hollow victory.

She stopped and turned back. The Doctor was halfway across the quad, his figure illuminated by the dim sparkle of fairy lights strung from the balconies above. “Wait, Doctor,” she blurted. When he paused, she wasted no time rushing forward to meet him.

“Thought I told you to forget me,” he growled.

She was undeterred. “I’m not havin’ you sittin’ up in that empty flat by yourself.” Impulsively, she perched up on her toes and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek. “Come to mine. Mum won’t be home ‘til tomorrow anyway, and I think we both deserve this bottle of bubbly, wouldn’t ya say? Better with two, yeah.”

“Erm…” He gazed down at her, his gruffness replaced with a sad, gentle smile that teased at the corners of his mouth.

“I’m not on the pull or anything,” she insisted… a little too forcefully. “Blimey!” she laughed, her cheeks burning. “I mean we jus’ met…”

He chuckled too. “And you were trying to steal my bubbly. You’re weren’t off to the best start, anyway, to be honest.”

“Oi!” She grabbed him by his sleeve and tugged him toward her building. “Wait! Hold on,” she paused a few seconds later, sniffing the air, “do you smell chips?”

“Yeah. Yeah.”

“Morrison’s must still be open! I want chips!”

“Me too.”

“And since you brought the bottle, the chips are on me! You’re in for a treat! Best chips on the planet, Morrison’s, an’ they’re right here on the estate. C’mon!”

“All right! Chips it is! And if we’re still hungry later, you can’t go wrong wi’ beans-on-toast.” They both laughed as he held up his bag of shopping. Then he clasped Rose’s hand in his, the gesture warming her to the core. “Lead the way!”

As they walked towards the chippy, Rose leaned her head against John Smith’s shoulder and gave his hand a little squeeze. Her evening, which had started out quite wretched, had completely turned around, and was now looking more promising than she could ever have imagined. Despite his wine-hogging tendencies, she rather thought she was going to enjoy being the Doctor’s neighbor.

“You know what, Doctor,” she grinned up at him, “I bet we’re going to have a really great year!”

Positive Part 2 || Kevin Hayes

Requested: [ ] yes [x] no

Authors Note: I’ve had a good portion of this draft sitting around for months but I absolutely hated it. Finally was able to rework it into something I like a little bit better so hopefully, you all enjoy it as well. Before you ask I have no idea where this could go from here so if you have any thoughts, send them my way. 

Warnings: cursing, more angst

Word Count: 1,692

~~~~~~~

Pregnant. You were really pregnant. 

The weight of that word crushed down on you and a fresh set of sobs overtook your body. This couldn’t be real...except it was. While you were normally a very level headed person, it was like your brain had shut down entirely and all you could do was sob into Kristen’s shoulder as she pulled you into her arms. You were so lost that you completely missed what had happened next. 

Jimmy Hayes walked through the door. He spotted his wife holding a sobbing woman. He stepped closer out of concern and his eyes fell to the pregnancy tests. When he looked back at his wife she was mouthing two words to him ‘call Kevin’. It was only then that he realized who the crying woman was and the mess that he had just walked into and he nodded, pulling his phone out of his pocket as he headed to the backyard. All it had taken was the utterance of your name and the statement that Kevin needed to come home for an agreement to be made. It didn’t matter that Kevin was halfway across the country. It didn’t matter that he was supposed to play a game that night. None of that mattered because you needed him to come home. 

As you attempted to pull yourself together, thanking Kristen but stating that you needed to be alone for a little while, you had no idea that Kevin had called his coach about a family emergency before booking a flight to Boston. As you stumbled into your apartment knowing that nothing would ever be the same again, you had no idea that Kevin was on his way to you, worried about what possibly could have happened to cause his brother to call him in a panic. As you climbed into the shower because your efforts of falling asleep to wake and find that this was all a dream had failed, you had no idea that Kevin was pacing back and forth in the living room of his brother’s house becoming frustrated by the lack of information he was being given. And as you threw on an old rangers sweatshirt that had once belonged to Kevin, you had no idea that the man himself was standing outside your door. 

And then he knocked. 

The sound startled you and you sighed wondering who the hell would be at your door this late. Throwing it open you had every intention of telling whoever it was to go the hell away because you weren’t in the mood. Instead, your eyes were met with the familiar frame of someone that you had considered one of your closest friends, someone who was supposed to be anywhere but here, someone who had turned your life upside down. Immediately, your eyes started to water because it seemed like all you could do lately was cry, but you quickly pushed the tears away, a neutral expression settling onto your face. As you battled your emotions, Kevin pushed his way inside your apartment, his arms crossed in front of his chest. Seeing him just waltz in sparked a wave of anger inside you and you practically growled at him.

“What the hell are you doing here Kevin?”

“Jim called me,” Kevin stated. “Told me I needed to come home because you needed me but wouldn’t tell me why. So care to enlighten me?” His tone held just a bit too much snark for your brain to handle and you cursed Kevin’s family for pulling him into this. 

“Well, I don’t need you so you can go back to your team.” You snapped. “I didn’t ask him to call you.” You added, now cursing yourself for turning to Kevin’s family in the first place. 

“That’s bullshit and you know it.” Kevin threw back, his frustration now seeping through. You could feel his heavy gaze but were oblivious to the fact that his brain was quickly making note of the fact that you were wearing his sweatshirt, you appeared paler than usual, and you’d clearly been crying recently. “You look like you haven’t slept in weeks, you’ve obviously been crying, and my brother and sister-in-law could only give me pity eyes while refusing to tell me what the hell was going on other than that you’d been there earlier. So please fucking tell me what the hell is going on Y/N!” 

The sound of his raised voice caused a fresh set of tears to form in your eyes but you quickly shook your head, once again pushing them back. 

“Get out Kevin.” You stated, voice low but serious. “Just go.” 

“I’m not leaving until you tell me what’s going on,” Kevin demanded, his body crowding forward to trap you against the back of the couch. Shoving at his chest you cursed him. 

“Kevin. Get the fuck out of my apartment.” You repeated, too afraid of getting hurt and too hormonal to open up to him. 

Kevin pulled away and for a moment you thought he was actually going to leave before he paused in the middle of your living room. 

“Fuck, fine. If you aren’t going to talk to me then you can just fucking listen.” His fingers raked through his hair as he paced. “You know...since you’re the one that decided the conversation was over before...it’s my turn. Fuck...I never should have let you leave. I just...I couldn’t believe it.” Kevin’s tone slowly started shifting from angry to vulnerable to resigned. 

“I thought you knew. The trip, the date, that night, my proposition....how could you not know that I love you.” He mumbled. “Everyone else knows that I love you. That I’ve loved you for as long as I can remember. I know I’m shitty at expressing it but I could have sworn that by Sunday night you knew and felt the same way. I’ve been kicking myself for not stopping you...for not making you see. You said it was a mistake because I don’t love you the way you love me. But Y/N I’m pretty sure I do. But if you want me to go I’ll go. I just...I can’t leave without making sure you knew. I love you. So this not working...that’s on you, not me. Because I was willing to do whatever it takes.”  

You couldn’t recall ever hearing Kevin say so much in one sitting, and you’d certainly never seen him so vulnerable. With your brain overwhelmed by the emotional dump he’d just done on you, you didn’t even realize he was gone until you heard the click of the door. 

Without even realizing it, you were racing out after him two words quickly falling from your lips and echoing down the hall. 

“I’m pregnant.” 

For a moment you worried that he hadn’t heard you. But then you watched him stop in the middle of the hallway. His fingers ran through his hair. Your eyes fell closed not wanting to see him walk out of your life completely even though you wouldn’t have blamed him in the slightest. They stayed closed until the weight of a warm hand fell to your hip and a feather-light touch brushed against your cheek. Peeking up, your eyes met his which were filled with nothing but warmth even as tears fell from them. 

“Oh thank god.” Kevin eventually murmured and the fact that those were the first words to come out of his mouth took you by complete surprise.  

“What?” You questioned, as you reached up to tangle your fingers in the fabric of Kevin’s shirt afraid that he would just disappear if you didn’t hold on tight.

“I said, oh thank god,” Kevin repeated, a prideful smirk growing on his face. “I’m not gonna be upset that you’re having my baby sweetheart. Jim had me fearing that something was actually wrong. This...this isn’t a problem...this is a blessing.” Kevin’s reaction had you feeling like you had whiplash because it was completely opposite to how you were feeling. Your body frozen in place, Kevin took two steps forward, ushering you back through your apartment door before turning and pinning you against it. His thumb brushed over your cheek again and he chuckled, shaking his head. 

“I’m gonna be a dad.” He murmured, the hand that had been on your face dropping down to caress your stomach lightly. Though you swore you couldn’t possibly have any more tears to cry, suddenly your cheeks were wet again. Why you were crying you couldn’t even express but it seemed to be the only way your brain could cope with all of this. 

“Shh…” Kevin whispered, attempting to soothe you. The rollercoaster of emotion from the past fifteen minutes seemed to finally get the best of you when you felt your stomach twist for the nth time in the past week or so. Throwing a hand over your mouth, you pushed Kevin aside and bolted for the toilet, kneeling over it while bile made its way out of your body. 

Almost immediately, a warm hand fell to your back, rubbing gently until you had finished puking before guiding you into a strong chest as you continued to cry. 

“Sweetheart...we’ll figure all of this out.” He insisted. “It’s okay. We’re okay.” When you still couldn’t stop crying, Kevin lifted you into his arms and carefully carried you back to your bedroom, laying you down and pulling you onto his chest. 

“Don’t go.” You whimpered, clinging to him. 

“I’m not going anywhere.” He promised, tilting your chin up to press his lips against yours in a feather-light kiss. You were certain it had to be gross because you hadn’t brushed your teeth since vomiting, but Kevin didn’t seem to mind, instead just whispering softly to you about how excited he was, how much he loves you and how sorry he was for not just saying it earlier. 

It was with his voice in your ear, his body below you, and his hand on your stomach that you finally cried yourself to sleep, praying that tomorrow you’d feel better.

So Oscar is planning to kind of be a double agent and sabatage Salem's Inner circle. This could mean he might be planning to sow discourse within the group and let's be honest he does have experience seeing petty conflicts within the groups being with the heroes. And as we saw plenty of times the villians have there own conflicts with each other, the question is who will be easy for Oscar to either manipulate or switch to his side?

Hey Crystal. I think the answer to that question is pretty obvious, especially given the events of the last episode. I’d like to believe that as of now---Hazel Rainart, Emerald Sustrai and even Neopolitan are the most likely to make the switch from serving Salem.

 We know for a definite fact that Neo is obviously displeased by her experience at being a pawn for Cinder Fall. While Neo is used to being a lackey, given her history as Roman Torchwick’s right hand woman, at least with Roman, it was evident that there was more to their bond than that of the typical crime boss and loyal side kick dynamic. Neo cared a lot about Roman and he in turn cared for her when he was alive and definitely treated her with more appreciation than what she receives from Cinder Fall.

Then there is Emerald---since V6, Emerald has displayed doubt in her stance in serving the main villains. Based on what she told Ruby back during the Battle of Haven, we know for a definite fact that most of Emerald’s willingness to cooperate with Salem’s schemes is due in part to her loyalty to Cinder. As a matter of fact, I remember Emerald dead ass saying that she doesn’t care about Salem.

“…I don’t care about Salem but I owe Cinder everything…” 

I believe that’s what she said to Ruby back in V5. Therefore, Emerald bears no loyalty to Salem and mainly followed her out of her devotion to Cinder Fall. But as we saw last episode, I think based on her reaction to what Mercury said---I believe now Emerald is starting to see the truth in what Mercury told her. 

At the end of day, Cinder doesn’t care about Emerald. No matter how much Emerald does her best to prove her devotion to the Fall Maiden, it is never reciprocated at all. And given Emerald’s reaction to seeing Cinder being punished by Salem, I think that was her realizing that she herself has chosen the wrong side. I think what Emerald does next will define where she truly stands and I’d love to think---at least I’d hope to think she would chose the side that agrees to help Oscar thwart Salem’s schemes. If not for herself then…perhaps out of some twisted resolve to save Cinder from destroying herself further before Salem does, y’know what I mean? That’s how I see it.

And finally---there is Hazel. I’ll admit, I was worried about (and rightfully upset with) Hazel following the events of the fourth episode. It definitely bothered me a lot watching Hazel enact his vengeance on Ozpin through Oscar. However, after hearing Oscar voice that Hazel was “holding back” with him, it’s clear to me that while Hazel is upset with Oz---it probably makes him uncomfortable being forced to do so through Oscar---the eyes of an innocent child who honestly has no place in this fight.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Hazel sees a bit of his sister in Oscar since, according to him, she was “only a child” too when she went off to become a huntress of her own choice that Hazel still refuses to accept.  Not to mention that throughout the shared shots of Hazel with Oscar, you can clearly see Hazel’s apprehension.

When Oz confronted him on his choice to follow Salem, you can see that even through his rage at Oz, there was a bit of apprehension with Hazel due in part to Oscar. I think bottom-line, Hazel wants to avenge his sister but he doesn’t want to do it through killing another innocent child. 

If Hazel killed Oscar to avenge Gretchen over Oz, then how would that make him any different than the man he constantly accuses Oz of being?

Not to mention that when Oz brought up Salem bringing the Relics together, you can see Hazel’s confusion. One thing that I’ve always wondered is how much has Salem disclosed to her followers about the Relics. It wouldn’t surprise me if, much like Oz, Salem never told her followers the truth of what would ultimately happen should the Relics be brought together.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Salem has been manipulating her pawns on false promises---making them submit to the fact that the only way to achieve their ultimate goals in through her when in reality, all she really wants is to watch everything burn.

My hunch is that the reason Salem wants the Relics is so that she could bring about Judgement Day and have Remnant wiped from existence out of her own selfish desire to finally be able to rest. After all, in the Lost Fable episode, the Brother Gods told Salem that so long as the world turns, she shall walk its face.

So long as Remnant exists, Salem will never be free of her wretched curse. 

So I feel this is what Salem wants in the end. Not to become a goddess or rule Remnant (since she already achieved this during her time with Ozma in his second lifetime as Diggs) but to die. 

I think ultimately Salem wants to end her own curse and she’s selfish enough to take all of humanity and Remnant with her, just like she did long ago.

It makes perfect sense if that’s her ultimate goal given the events of the Lost Fable. But I highly doubt this is something that her followers know. After all, would you honestly be willing to follow someone who you know was working to end the world that you need to live in in order to achieve your goals?

It wouldn’t shock me at all if none of Salem’s pawns know the full truth about the Relics. All the more reason why I think it would be very easy for Oscar to make them switch sides using this info. I have a feeling Hazel would definitely be one to turn for sure. I don’t know what promises Salem made to him outside of revenge on Oz for Gretchen but I feel like Hazel would be among the first to side with Oz---at least, he’ll side with Oscar.

So yeah, to reiterate, I expect Hazel, Emerald and Neo to turn first. 

Mercury might take some added effort. But I think eventually he’ll come around too since deep down, I think Mercury cares more for Emerald than he lets off and being the Emerald Merc shipper that I am, I think it would be pretty sweet if Mercury asked Emerald to join him with Salem, promising to love and care for her in ways that Cinder never could or something like that. 

It’d be very sweet if despite his own abuse and hardships and despite growing up never feeling love from anyone, if Merc grew to desire to give the feelings he never got to someone who he sees shares in his loneliness. It’d be sweet to see Merc change for the better cause deep down he does genuinely care a lot for Emerald and it would be great to see her be the one to persuade/influence him since for the most part, Emerald has been a follower---not an influencer, y’know what I mean?

As for Tyrian and Cinder.

To put it bluntly, I thinkTyrian Callows would rather die than betray “his goddess” so he’ll probably follow Salem to literally the end of the world whether she kills him via Judgement Day or of her own hand. 

As for Cinder---Cinder I don’t know anymore. After watching her backstory, I don’t know what the showrunners plan on doing with her. While I’m still very skeptical about a Cinder Fall redemption arc (despite her history with Rhodes hitting me hard), I’m getting mixed signals on what the showrunners’ true intentions with her are. 

I don’t know whether to stick to my own theories on Cinder potentially usurping Salem at some point and becoming the new Red Queen and leader of the Grimm or…prepare to retrieve my jaw from all the way over in China after it plummets through the center of the earth at my mere unadulterated shock at the showrunners actually making Cinder a “good guy” after EVERYTHING this crazy chick has done over the seasons.

As for Watts---I’m sure he’ll cave faster than an avalanche once he learns that he can’t take out his bitterness and jealousy towards Pietro and Jimmy Ironwood from the grave.

So yeah XD That’s my answer to that.

False Hope [Jimmy Darling] (1/2)

Prompt: If only you hadn’t fallen in love with the freak.

A/N: I just couldn’t help myself. I love this boy and even though i’m only half way through the season, I already know this boy deserves better then what he got. Anyways, I meant for this to only be one part but it got to be a lot longer then originally intended so... part two?

Please don’t plagiarize my work! Word Count: 1,919

“It’s late. I should be getting on home now.”

Jimmy holds fast the second you move to get up, fingers softly pressing into your hips as he tugs you back against himself. You don’t fight him, falling against him with a light giggle mix with a sigh as you let your head rest against his chest, your hand coming up to rest next to you.

“Stay here a while,” Jimmy murmurs, pressing a soft kiss against the top of your head. Your eyes flutter shut at the action, relishing in the moment briefly as his left hand rubs circles on your bare lower back. “It’s not safe for a lady like yourself to be walking home this late anyways.”

You roll your eyes at his comment, shifting slightly as you’re propped up on your elbows, able to meet Jimmy’s warm brown eyes easily and steadily. Your head comes to rest in either of your palms, smiling up at him softly as he leans his hand against his pillow comfortably, his curls brushing into his eyes slightly which causes him to blink them away once in a while. “The curfews been lifted, remember, darling? After you caught that maniac.”

Jimmy’s cheeks warm slightly, and he shakes his head, abashed. “I didn’t do nothing.” 

“You’re still a hero to me,” you shrug, moving your head to your left hand and allowing the right to draw soft circles in the middle of Jimmy’s chest where a small, light patch of dirty blonde hair resides. You lose yourself in the moment slightly, lost in your own thoughts as Jimmy watches you carefully, a soft smile on his lips as he takes in your beauty but his eyes concerned slightly at the frown that begins to curl on your lip.

Raising his hand, Jimmy’s careful to use his knuckles (still ashamed of his hands despite how many times he’s told you there ain’t anything to be ashamed of) to brush back some strands of your H/C hair out of your face. He dips his head slightly, enough that he can get a better look at you, the smile that had once occupied his lips fading as he frowns worriedly down at you. 

He doesn’t even have to ask to know what’s got you so worried.

“It’s your father isn’t it?”

Your flicker your eyes back up to his own at that. “Even after all these months, he still as cruel as ever. Half of the time I have to sneak off, or worse, he catches me and I have to fight to leave.”

“He don’t approve of me, do he?”

Biting your lip, you shake your head.

You catch it, just quick enough because Jimmy only does it for a faint second, but Jimmy’s eyes flicker down to his hands and as such, his hand that had once been cupping your cheek falls to his side with shame. Before he can though, you reach out to catch his hand, pulling his eyes sharply on your own as you press it against your lips, kissing his knuckles first before trailing up to the tips of his fingers. 

“He’s small-minded,” you say without a moments hesitation, keeping your eyes steady on Jimmy’s own. “He don’t see how wonderful you are, like I do. None of the people in this Godforsaken place do. But, Jimmy, there ain’t a damn thing he or anyone else can say to me that will change how I feel about you.” Pressing his hand against your cheek, you lower your voice to a whisper; “how much I love you.”

“But, maybe...” And Jimmy hesitates, clearly hating the words but unable to deny how he believes them to be true. “Your father’s right. You deserve someone more than a freak like me. Someone normal--”

“You’re not a freak.” You say firmly, promptly cutting off whatever other profanities and lies Jimmy was about to speak of himself. Setting your eyes, hard and determined but still filled with so much love, you squeeze Jimmy’s hand gently. “You’re Jimmy Darling. The man I love. The man who saved that woman and child from that maniac. The man that can sing like no other.” Letting out a soft laugh, your lips curve into a bright smile as you nuzzle into his touch. “That has never ever done anyone any wrong.”

Jimmy smiles, finally returning your grip as he pulls you close, pressing a kiss against your lips. It’s quick, but he pours every ounce of his gratitude into that kiss. He holds you tight and firmly and there isn’t an ounce of hesitance or doubt in him as he molds his lips against your own. And you return the kiss with just as much ferocity. Enough that you find yourself out of breath by the time either of you pull back.

“I wish I could just stay here with you forever.”

“Why don’t you.”

Jimmy’s words shock you. Yours had been a meaningless whisper -- it was something you truly did wish, but something you believed entirely impossible. You knew that your father would never let you leave, especially if he ever found out it was to be with Jimmy. You didn’t know how far your father would go to prove that, given that it was tough enough to even get out of the house for a few hours, but you didn’t want to test it either.

Jimmy easily understands.

“Well, why not?” He shrugs. “We may not have much, but we’re a family here. And i’m sure Elsa could find something for you to do around here. That way we wouldn’t have to hide, wouldn’t have to go days without seeing each other.”

“But, my father..,” you argue, shaking your head. “Even if I did manage to get out, he’d find us right away. He knows exactly where i’d go.”

“We’d deal with that when the time came but... we all love you here. We’d protect you.”

Jimmy words make you think. Moments ago, the entire idea had seemed impossible but you trusted Jimmy and you knew he meant his words. And the idea of being able to be with Jimmy, freely, was entirely to enticing and exciting and everything you’ve ever wanted to not even be tempted.

Cupping your cheek, Jimmy pulls your eyes on him; “pack your things tomorrow. Wait til your father leaves for work and then come here. Once you get here, we won’t let him touch you. I won’t let him touch you/”

You’re hesitant. You want to, but you fear your father and more so, his wrath.

Sensing this, Jimmy tightens his grip on you, just enough that it shows just how serious and determined he is. “I promise you.”

And when you look into his eyes, you see nothing but sincerity. 

“Okay,” you whisper, the crack of a smile growing onto your lips. “Let’s do it.”

-

Your father watched you constantly. When you were home, he always had at least an eye on you. It didn’t matter if it was actually him or one of his faithful servants that roamed the house consistently. There wasn’t anything you could do that he didn’t know about.

Until, you went to your room.

You don’t know why. You’ve never understood it. But, for as long as you can remember, your room has always been a place of solace. When you were a child, it was where you would break your dolls and throw tantrums. As a teenager, it’s where you would smoke and drink. It was where you broke every strict rule your father had ever put on your head in this prison.

A part of you knew that he he did know what went on behind the closed door of your bedroom. But he’d never stopped you, so you let your naivety get the best of you and believe that this fact alone would allow you to break free. Pack your things and leave when he did for work. His servants didn’t scare you, unlike he did, and they wouldn’t actually harm you. So, by the time he ever found out, you’d be long gone with Jimmy and him and the rest of his friends would protect you from any harm.

You’d acted like nothing was different. You packed quick, rapidly and you made sure to be out of your room by the time your father was leaving for work so you could kiss him on the cheek goodbye like you always had. 

You truly believed nothing had been out of the ordinary.

In the end, it was your naivety you cursed.

When you thought your father was long gone, you were in your room, gathering your things. Your heart raced with fear and anticipation but also excitement. The idea of finally being able to free had you bouncing with happiness and you couldn’t wait until you were back with Jimmy, safe in his grasp.

But the second you opened your bedroom door, all hopes of that happiness was crushed.

“F-Father!”

Your father, face red in anger, didn’t respond to your cry. Instead, he simply yanked the suitcase out of your hand and tossed it behind him, it thudding loudly against the wall before crashing against the ground, cracking open, your clothes and other necessities spilling across the floor. His actions caused you to flinch in fear, instinctively taking a step back, but your father snatched your wrist before you could make it very far.

“You really think i’d let my daughter run off with some freak?”

Feeling anger flood you at the cruel insult, your eyes flash. “He isn’t a freak! He’s--”

Before you can say anything more, there’s a sharp sting across your cheek and you find yourself falling back, landing on the ground with a harsh thud. A gasp rips through your throat in response and your wide eyes flicker up to meet the frightening ones of your father as he descends upon you.

He crouches before you and you feel your eyes water, moving to crawl back, but your father simply grabs your ankle, yanking you towards him with a simple tug. “I’ll show you,” he begins, voice gruff, “i’ll show you the kind of freak he is. The monster that boy is. I’ll help you learn, darling. I promise.”

Heart spiking, you let out a cry, slapping away the hand your father extends towards you away. His surprise allows you to yank your foot out of his grasp and scramble up to your feet, moving to race out of your door. Screw your belongings, you just need to get to Jimmy. He’ll protect you. He’ll keep you safe.

However, the second you make it to the door, two hands grab either of your arms.

“No! Let me go! Let me go!”

The servants holding you turning you, so that you can stare up at your father as you kick your feet wildly beneath you and tears stream pathetically down your cheeks. Your father simply stares down at you, his eyes emotionless, before he turns to the servant on your left.

“Throw her down in the basement.”

Your eyes widen at that. “What?” You cry, your struggling increasing tenfold as your heart drops with terror. “No, wait! Please! I’ll be good! I won’t go! Just please don’t put me down there!” 

Your father simply takes your chin his hands, tsking down at you. “Some isolating will do you good, baby. I promise.”

The next second, you find yourself being dragged backwards.

“NO! Please, daddy! No! Please!”

[saras-almanac]

checking in (aaron/robert, aaron, jimmy, nicola)

Yeah... So... instead of working on my grad school stuff or my robert week fics (they’re coming just maybe a little late?), I spent my evening writing a Jimmy and Nicola talk to Aaron fic cause @smugdensugdendingle made a post about wanting to see it (hope it’s cool to tag you in this). And since I was already planning on writing a fic tentatively titled 5 times aaron told people to fuck off after not letting him have feelings and one time he didn’t where the +1 was going to be Jimmy since he is Rob’s BFF (second to Aaron, obviously), I figured I could write this quick little scene. 

It’s about 2700 words and in Nicola’s POV which was not what I was expecting so, there ya go. It’s almost like Aaron is so desperate for someone to listen to him and tell him that he’s not being crazy for missing his husband that the second someone offers the barest hint of that, he can’t help but talk about it. Crazy how that works. 

Aaron deserves better than what his family is doing to him. 

Nicola walked down the drive with Jimmy at her side.

“I don’t know, Nicola,” Jimmy said quietly. “He might just want to be alone for a night.”

“You’d not be worrying if this was Robert,” Nicola argued. “He’s got to be in bits with the plea hearing tomorrow.”

“I feel like I am,” Jimmy said. “And it’s not my husband.”

“He might as well have been, they way you two acted.”

They stopped in front of the door. There was no sound from inside.

“Maybe he’s at the pub?” Jimmy suggested.

“No. I overheard them say that he hasn’t left the house in ages,” Nicola said. She reached out to ring the doorbell.

There was no answer.

“Should we try again?” Jimmy asked.

Nicola rang the bell again.

Aaron pulled open violently. “I told ya, you’re not coming tomorrow.”

All three of them stopped and stared.

“I thought you were someone else,” Aaron said quietly.

“Clearly,” Nicola said and pushed passed Aaron to go inside.

“Sorry about just dropping by,” Jimmy said as he walked in as well. “We had some leftover dinner and thought you might like some?”

“So what I can’t take of myself now? Did me mum put you up to this?” Aaron asked, standing at still-open door.

“Chas?” Nicola asked. “I doubt there’s anything she’d ask me to do. And even less that I’d agree to do for her.”

The three of them stood there awkwardly.

“Well cheers, but I’m not hungry.” Aaron slumped down against the wall.  

Aaron had never been a well-dressed or put-together man. He wasn’t like Robert in that respect, but she hadn’t seen him look so run-down in ages. Probably not since after he got out of prison… Maybe not even then. He had bags under his eyes, eyes that were red and puffy. He just looked a mess.

“No bother,” Jimmy said. “I’ll just go and put this in the kitchen then, eh? You can heat it up whenever you like.”

Aaron jerked up from where he was leaning against the wall and rushed to shove something behind a pillow on the sofa. Nicola hadn’t a chance to see what it was, but it was blue and she had a feeling it was something of Robert’s.

“How’s he doing?” Nicola asked quietly, sitting on the chair.

“I dunno,” Aaron said, sitting down on the sofa. “I haven’t been able to talk to him since Friday. And now Paddy’s taken my phone. I swear that if Robert calls me tonight and I don’t get to talk to my husband…”

“What’s he taken your phone for?” Nicola asked.

Aaron sighed and closed his eyes. “Reckons I was gonna do something stupid.”

“Was he right?” Nicola asked.

“Doesn’t matter,” Aaron said. “I can’t do anything now.”

“Still not right that he took your phone,” Jimmy said as he came to where they were sitting. “You want me to go and have a word with him?”

“It wouldn’t do any good,” Aaron said quietly. “They’d just lock me up again.”

“They what?” Nicola said.

“He found out that I was… gonna try and break Robert out,” Aaron admitted. “And then he locked me in here. He only got out after taking my phone and passports to get to my mum.”

Nicola and Jimmy shared a look.

“She’s having the baby,” Aaron said. “Or maybe she’d done now. They asked me if I wanted to come as if my husband’s not locked away? As if I care about anything else right now.”

“It’s all right to miss Robert you know,” Jimmy said softly as he sat on the other end of the sofa. “I know it’s not the same cause he was your husband and all, but I miss him too.”

Aaron looked over at him and nodded. Robert would be beside himself to see Aaron so distraught, so alone and Nicola couldn’t help but feel bad for Aaron. They’d never really been close—she was more Robert’s friend after all. But maybe this was something more she could for Robert, and for Aaron.

“Even I’m missing him,” Nicola said. “And he drove me up the wall most days.”

“Cheers,” Aaron said. He picked at his hands, twirling his wedding ring.

“How are you holding up?” Nicola asked.

“Gotta be strong, don’t I?” Aaron said. “For Rob, Liv. Mum and Paddy.”

“You lost your husband,” Jimmy said. “I don’t think you can be strong through that.”

Nicola nodded at Jimmy. He sometimes put his foot in it, but his earnestness was always so endearing. He just cared so much.

“It could be twenty years or longer,” Aaron said quietly and Nicola heard the pain and tears in his voice. “What if it’s life? What am I gonna do then?”

“It might not be,” Nicola said. “Don’t worry about that just now.”

“I can’t do anything but worry about it. He’s in there, locked up, alone and probably terrified. And he did it for me,” Aaron said. “And now he expects me to just walk away from him?”

“I don’t think he thinks that,” Nicola said.

“He’s already sent himself to prison so I’d have a chance at a normal life—like I want, like I have any life without him,” Aaron said. “I just have this horrible feeling that he’s not gonna push me away. And I can’t handle that.”

Jimmy and Nicola stayed quiet again, just trying to let Aaron get out what he needs.

“I’m sure my family would love that though,” he said bitterly after a minute.

“They don’t want to see you unhappy,” Jimmy said.

“They don’t care about my happiness so long as I’m here, with them, and doing what they think is best. The day after my husband was arrested, they told me that he did the right thing, turning himself in and going to prison, leaving me. That I was better off without him. Who says that to someone? Who says that when my husband just gave up his life, our future, so I didn’t have to go on the run?”

“They probably didn’t mean it like that,” Jimmy tried.

“They did. They’ve always hated Robert. I just thought that maybe, because I loved him so much, that they would just accept that. But it’s like they’re looking at this as a way for me to start over, with someone they like more.” Aaron took a deep breath. “It’s like the five years we spent together means nothing. Robert means nothing. And what I feel for him means nothing.

“They expect me to just wash my hands of him cause he’s in jail and that he ‘deserves’ it cause some idiot died—like Robert is a cold-blooded killer and he’s not! And they’d have had Robert’s head if he tried to do that to me when I went to prison. And I deserved it! Robert planned a wedding so I knew that he wasn’t leaving me, that I’d still have him.” Aaron let out a breath. “I can’t just get over him, turn my back. And even if I could, I don’t want to. And they don’t get that.”

“Then screw them,” Nicola said. Aaron looked up at her and she saw the tears falling from his eyes. “I mean it. Robert did this for you, so you’re allowed to do whatever you want to cope. If you don’t want to visit that’s your choice—or maybe partly Robert’s. If you want to wait for him, then wait. It’s your life, Aaron. It’s your marriage. If they can’t get that then that’s on them.”

Aaron wiped at his eyes.

“Anyone could see how mad you are for each other,” Jimmy said. “Even if it’s 20 years in prison, that won’t dim that. It won’t just go away overnight, even if you were trying.”

“I just miss him so much,” Aaron said. “I don’t know what I’m gonna do without him. Like the business. Our home. How am I supposed to just carry on like he’s not missing?”

“What you do, is take it one day at a time, all right?” Nicola said. “What have got tomorrow?”

“Robert’s… Robert’s got his plea hearing,” Aaron said.

“All right. So you’ll have to get ready for that. Do you know what you want to wear?” Nicola asked him, finally feeling like she was in her wheelhouse again.

Aaron nodded. “This one black shirt.”

“Aren’t all your clothes black?” Jimmy asked.

“Not all of them,” Aaron defended.

“You know how you’re getting there?” Nicola asked.

“Yeah. I’m gonna drive.” Aaron sniffed. “I’m gonna try to get there early in case I can see him.”

“That’s good,” Nicola said. “Who’s coming with you?”

“No one.”

“Aaron, you need someone with you,” Jimmy said.

“I’m not bringing anyone in my family who thinks that Robert deserves this or that I need to just get over him,” Aaron said. “Robert deserves to be as supported as he can.”

“Why don’t I go with ya?” Jimmy offered. “He’s my friend and I’d like to offer some support if I can.”

“No. I’ll be fine,” Aaron said.

“But—”

“He said he’d be fine, Jimmy,” Nicola interrupted. “Do you know how he’s gonna plead?”

“He’s gonna have to plead guilty, doesn’t he?” Aaron said. “He already plead guilty once so he can’t really go changing his plea. All I can hope is that he gets a lenient sentence.”

Aaron breathed out again. “But he’s up for murder so it’s gonna be at least ten years, if not longer.”

“Focus on one day at a time, right?” Nicola said.

Aaron let out a breath again.

“Did you need to bring anything with you tomorrow?” Nicola asked.

“Um… I have a bag for him,” Aaron said. “Some of his clothes and stuff. I don’t know what they’re going to let him keep, but I’m hoping some of it.”

“Did you need to get anything else for it?” Jimmy asked. “Like one of your hoodies? Or maybe a letter?”

“I dunno if he’d want that.” Aaron twisted his ring again.

“I think he would,” Jimmy said. “Knowing you’re letting him borrow one of your jackets. Seeing a note from you.”

“It’s not too much?” Aaron asked. “He has to get through this and I don’t want to make it harder on him.”

“No matter what he’s going through, he’ll always want to know how you’re doing,” Jimmy said. “He’d want to know if you’re struggling and that you miss him. I’m not saying that it won’t hurt him, but I’m sure that he’d rather know that than not. You’d want to know, right?”

Aaron nodded. “Yeah. When I went inside, I took his shower gel with me.”

“Aw, that’s actually quite romantic,” Nicola said. “Didn’t know you had it in ya.”

Aaron cracked a smile. “Robert wouldn’t want that, but maybe something else. I’ll think about it.”

“What else can you do for tomorrow?” Nicola asked, trying to keep Aaron focused.

“I have to grab a suit for Robert.”

“You know what suit?” Nicola asked.

“The blue one. It’s his favorite,” Aaron said. “I might have to iron it.”

“I’ll take care of that,” Jimmy said. “You want me to go and check?”

Aaron nodded. “Thanks. It’s handing by the laundry.”

“No problem,” Jimmy said as he got up. “I’m used to doing a bit of ironing.”

“So we have tomorrow figured out, right?” Nicola asked and Aaron nodded. “So we just keep doing that until it gets a little easier.”

“It’ll never get easier being without him,” Aaron said.

“No,” Nicola said. “But the other things, everyday life will get a little easier, less overwhelming.”

“I can’t say goodbye to him,” Aaron said. “It’ll kill me.”

“It’s not goodbye forever,” Nicola said. “If you think for one second that he wouldn’t come find you as soon as he’s out and see if he still has a chance, you’re mad.”

“I’ll always want him,” Aaron said. “No matter how much time passes.”

Nicola nodded. “Why don’t you call the prison? See if you can talk to him?”

“I don’t have my phone,” Aaron said.

“Use Jimmy’s,” Nicola said. “And if you can’t talk to him right now, you can give them Jimmy’s number and ask them to have Robert call that one. Jimmy give us your phone.”

“You got it,” Jimmy said, walking over and handing it to Nicola.

“He’s gonna ask why I’m calling on Jimmy’s phone,” Aaron said, twisting his ring. “What do I tell him?”

“The truth,” Nicola said.

“He’s gonna worry,” Aaron said. “I don’t want to do that to him.”

“He’s gonna worry about you no matter what,” Jimmy said.

“And it’s not like he’s had his share of reckless plans,” Nicola said. “He’ll probably think it’s dead romantic that you were trying to jail break him. Though he might be a little upset that you’re risking your neck.”

Aaron nodded and took the phone. “Um. Do you mind if I go upstairs? Just in case I can talk to him?”

“Course not,” Jimmy said. “Tell him we miss him.”

Aaron just shuffled up the stairs, already phoning the prison.

“Jimmy look under that pillow, will ya?” Nicola asked as she pointed at the pillow nearest Aaron.

Jimmy pulled out a blue jumper, one that had elbow patches. “Is the Robert’s?”

Nicola sighed. “Yeah. He’s not doing well, is he?”

“Did you really expect him to? He just lost his husband,” Jimmy said.

“I just thought that he’d have some support, I guess,” Nicola said. “I always knew them Dingles were a piece of work.”

“You’d think whatever issues they may have had with Robert they’d get over seeing Aaron so distraught,” Jimmy said. “I think we should check in on him a bit more. Make sure he’s not alone.”

“Maybe he can do a bit of babysitting?” Nicola suggested. Jimmy just looked at her. “Was just a thought. He doesn’t have to.”

Aaron came down and looked just as frustrated as before. “Said they couldn’t let me talk to him right now, but maybe later. He did take Jimmy’s phone number down.”

“Just keep it for the night, yeah?” Jimmy said. “I can get it back any time tomorrow. I know where you live, right?”

“That was an awful joke,” Nicola said.

“Robert would have liked it,” Jimmy said.

“Yeah, well Robert has a horrible sense of humor,” Aaron said.

The three stood there awkwardly for a minute before Jimmy went over to give Aaron a hug. Nicola wasn’t sure who was more surprised: herself or Aaron.

“Just take care of yourself, right?” Jimmy said. “Robert wouldn’t want you to run yourself ragged for him.”

“I’ll try,” Aaron said, his hands sort of hovering over Jimmy’s back.

“And you call me if anyone gives you any grief about Robert,” Jimmy said as he pulled away.

“What, you’ll put the fear of god in ‘em?” Aaron asked.

“I might not. But I can send Nicola after them.” Jimmy nodded back toward her.

“Thanks,” Aaron said. “For coming by. Listening to me.”

“What are friends for, eh?” Jimmy said.

“Take care,” Nicola said. “And know we send our love tomorrow with you. To Robert as well.”

Aaron nodded and went to the door with them.

“You don’t have to be strong tomorrow if you can’t be,” Jimmy said quietly. “Just being there is the most important thing.”

“I can’t be a mess though, can I?” Aaron asked. “Might be the only chance I get to see him.”

“You’ll get loads more chances,” Jimmy said. “Don’t put so much pressure on yourself to be a certain way, all right?”

“Yeah. Guess so,” Aaron said.

“I’ll be in the office on Friday,” Jimmy said. “If you can’t make it, I’ll cover your stuff, so don’t worry about that.”

“Yeah,” Nicola said. “Robert already roped me in to do the books for you lot weeks ago.”

“He did?” Aaron asked.

“When he was panicked about going away, he wanted to make sure the businesses were okay and to try and find a way to take some of the burden off you.” Nicola said.

Aaron cleared his throat. “Good of him. I hate accounts.”

Nicola pretended not to hear the tears in Aaron’s voice and tried to get out of the Mill as quickly as she could. “We’ll be off then.”

“Call if you need anything,” Jimmy said.

Aaron nodded and they walked out into the night. Nicola tried to pretend she wasn’t leaving a heartbroken man behind.

'you wanna though'] Jimmy: ['I wanna kiss you, yeah' just moving her hair out of her face but not doing anything else because you think she doesn't want you to] Janis: [just slightly deer in the headlights whilst you process all this 'cos you don't wanna say anything else stupid/give yourself away harder 'promise?' and actual eye contact again] Jimmy: [looking at her like I PROMISE and we need the caps] Janis: [writes 'promise?' on his arm like tell me though please] Jimmy: [writes it on her without the ? cos he do] Janis: [SUCH a kiss moment bye] Jimmy: [picking her up slightly even though he's not meant to cos we're just in this moment] Janis: [when that does stop you and you put a hand to his ribs like 'I'm sorry'] Jimmy: [shakes his head like it's okay/I'm okay even though not strictly true] Janis: ['I was a dick though, it must be so annoying, waiting for it to heal'] Jimmy: [shrugs because he was a dick too and yeah it's annoying but there's nothing he can do, even though you could take better care of yourself boy we know it] Janis: [just rubbing it almost absentmindedly whilst you snuggle] Jimmy: [having a lovely soft snuggle moment] Janis: ['I missed you'] Jimmy: ['I missed you too'] Janis: [dramatic sigh but actual because this is all such a headfuck always] Jimmy: [just looking at her because heard it obvs they are so close rn and drawing a ? on her skin but I like to think it's somewhere like on her stomach or whatever so he's had to seek it out, maybe her own rib for that parallel] Janis: [breathing in like oh 'cos missed all of this 'I just- I don't-' pausing 'I like it better when we're friends'] Jimmy: ['we don't have to go back yet' because you think that's what she means and then a genuine smile when she says that because #same] Janis: [smiling back] Jimmy: [drawing a ☀ with a smiley face because your hand is still there from before so you might as well] Janis: ['you're cute' 'cos he is and kissing him again] Jimmy: ['you're-' and kissing her more so you don't have to finish that dangerous sentence] Janis: [get a bathroom or something you two] Jimmy: [honestly where even are you #rascals] Janis: [have some alone time either way, not gonna make you get back to work like that, so rude] Jimmy: [we're not that evil] Janis: [only sometimes] Jimmy: [an appropriate amount of evil] Janis: [soz to you community service girl 'cept I'm not at all really] Jimmy: [me either] Janis: [you could tell they came together i 👀 you] Jimmy: [and like even if she only has his 📷 IG there would still be loads of pics of her on there cos muse] Janis: [hussy lmao] Jimmy: [you're as blatant as the lads flirting with Janis] Janis: [giving you no more credit than them lady] Jimmy: [the balls to ask him on a date in the future when you KNOW] Janis: [you been knew] Janis: [shall we go back in or just skip to fest planning/pre vibes?] Jimmy: [I don't mind doing them going back if we can find shit to say because all the #content lol] Janis: [lol same, see what it do, just come out from whatever cupboard/bathroom/secret place you been then, so 😒 about it] Jimmy: [would they get in any trouble do you think? I don't know what the craic is at all #grandma] Janis: [right, so I basically think it's case by case because they could send you to an old people's home and barely check in on you so if the manager of wherever you are is lax then you'd get away with doing the minimum as long as they logged your hours, secondly, I think one thing they should do would be to 'fix' the damage at the school (so the school gets it done for free) but that should just be them and anyone else who got nabbed at the party, so I think when they're there whoever is overseeing would be more extra but maybe here you can get away with a bit more LONG ASS WAY OF SAYING I DON'T THINK THEY NEED TO lmao] Jimmy: [100% agree with that cos then we can do some shit with that too which'll be a different vibe cos like you said more supervised] Janis: [which is a drag but then this girl ain't there so you're shamelessly more happy with that lol] Jimmy: [yeah cos it might literally have just been them who got community service cos their party and they were shamelessly owning it] Janis: [exactly, maybe it's them and some professionals that the school made their 'rents pay for, hence they're more mad about the whole shebang] Jimmy: [Love that, Ian would be so fuming] Janis: [we know, bastard] Jimmy: [Anyway I'll do something to start this chat again lol] Jimmy: 👍?

‘Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

I am finally back with another prompt. It’s been a combination of school/work and lack of inspiration. I have been working on this for a bit and I think it turned out pretty well. Thank you @sergeantames for the feedback and for helping me with it! :D 

This is another one of the kiss prompts that was requested by @nessa007 (I hope you like it)

16. One person pouting, only to have it removed by a kiss from the other person.

It’s about 3 dates into Jake and Amy’s relationship when he decides they should go bowling. Considering how competitive they both are, this might not be the best idea, but Jake also knows that their competitive streaks are when they have done some of their best work in the past. Plus, Jake knows that Amy can’t resist some healthy competition.

3 turns into the game and Amy hasn’t made one strike or spare and Jake got a strike on his first turn. He can see her start to get frustrated. “Thought you were good at this, Santiago?” Jake replies with his classic smirk.

“Shut up, Peralta. Aren’t you supposed to charm the girl on the first few dates? I can totally knock down all these pins.” Amy says, confidently.

“I don’t need to put on the charm because I already have you, but since you’re so confident that you can knock them all down, want to make it a bet?”

“What’s the wager?” she says intrigued.

“If I win, you have to admit that I am the true champion and always will be. If you win then you get a massage and I have to say you’re the Champion of the World.”

“You’re on, Peralta.” She says, shaking his hand with the firm grip she learned at a seminar.

Amy stands in from of the lane and takes a few deep breaths to help her focus. ‘Concentrate.’ she tells herself. She aims the ball to land directly at the middle pin and releases her arm and lets go. The ball goes rolling down the lane toward the pins, and it knocks them all down, but two, leaving a big gap between them.

“Oh, a split! Not many people knock those down. Think you can do it, Santiago?” Jake yells.

“Watch me” Amy says retrieving her ball again. This time, she doesn’t aim directly toward the middle, but more diagonal and instead of knocking both pins down, it only gets one of them.  “Why didn’t it work? I had a strategy and everything.” She retreats back to her seat, defeated.

“Guess you’re just gonna have to accept that there are just some things that I’m better at than you.” Jake says as he also gets a split.

“Well, let’s see you knock them both down, if you think you’re better.”

“As you wish, m’lady.” He says in the best fake british accent he can muster, bows before her, taking the ball and aiming it toward the lane. It hits one, then slides and knocks the other down. Amy’s mouth hangs open in shock, “That’s what I was trying to do!” she yells.

Walking back towards Amy, he smiles triumphantly, while a pout appears on Amy’s face. “Well, clearly it didn’t work.” He says mockingly.

“Clearly. Ugh, it’s just another thing you are good at. First, you win our bet and now this. At least I beat you at Jimmy Jabs.”

Jake’s smile falters, “Uh, about that. I have a confession to make.” Amy doesn’t like where this is going…

“What is it?” She asks, trying to sound calm.

“I kind of let you win.” He says, looking down at the floor.

“You what? Um, how? I clearly beat you.” Amy says, confidently.

“I kept pressing the ‘door open’ button the elevator to keep it open for you.”

“Why would you do that? You always want to win.”

“Because I still had feelings for you and you looked so cute doing those dance moves to try and get me to break.”

Amy doesn’t know how to react to this, she’s touched that Jake, always teasing, insufferable Jake would give up his winning streak for her, but she’s also a little disappointed that she actually didn’t win.

“Well, I’m touched that you would give up your winning streak for me, but it still doesn’t make me feel any better.” she says, pout appearing once more.

“Maybe this will…” he leans in to kiss away the disappointed pout on her face. Giving in, she allows herself to get lost in it, all disappointment fading away.

“You sure know how to bring on the charm.” she says pulling away, a soft smile playing on her lips.

“Oh this is just the beginning, you’re about to see full on boyfriend Jake. A side you have never seen until now.

The word ‘boyfriend’ should scare her because they’ve only been on three dates, but it fills her with a sudden excitement at this newfound relationship and she couldn’t be happier.

“I can’t wait.” she says sincerely, taking his hand.

“All right, let’s finish this game, so you can admit that i’m the true champion once and for all.”

“Haha you wish Peralta. I’m going to beat you fair and square this time!” she says sticking her tounge out at him as the ball goes sailing down the lane, knocking all ten pins down. “I got a strike! Finally! Suck it Peralta. Who’s the real champion now?”

Jake watches Amy with a gleeful smile, amazed at this woman who’s had his heart for a long time. “Call it even?”

Amy narrows her eyes, but doesn’t hide the smile showing on her face. “Do I still get my massage?”

“Of course, your wish is my command.”

“Who are you and what did you do with Jake Peralta?” She asks skeptically.

“He’s just crazy about the one Amy Santiago and maybe doesn’t care so much about winning anymore when he has her by his side.”

Amy’s face softens at this reply, “Okay, call it even. We both got the person in the end. I consider that a win in my book.”

“I think some of my charm is starting to rub off on you.” He says, nudging her shoulder.

“Maybe so, but I think i’m okay with that.” Laying her head on his shoulder and they walk to his car together.

Successful third date. Check.

CHAPTER 01

You got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

YEAR: 1974

AGE: Infant

A young boy, about twelve, and a boy a little older than five watched woman in next room. The woman was dancing around the kitchen with a tiny baby in her arms. Bruises on the pre-teen’s face which stung when cool air hit it. His bright blue eyes looked away to where they could hear the man coming into the house.

 The slur of the voice, he scoffed, glaring at his father. The man smelled of smoke and alcohol. “What happened to you?” The man slurred. Growing up with the man with the nasty habits, the boy had learned to understand the drunk slurs.

 Looking in the direction the woman who was lost in the daze of dancing around the house. “Nothing. Got into a fight with a guy at school.” He stated, raking his fingers through the curly dark brown hair. The young boy next to him looked up to confused. That wasn’t what happened. “You should see the other guy.” The pre-teen then went on with a smirk. The man looked like he approved of that answer, by the smile that crossed his lips.

 Their father patted his shoulder and the younger boy’s head. Stumbling into the kitchen where the woman was. She looked at the man who kissed her cheek before kissing the top of the baby’s head and walking away.

 He doesn’t remember his mother, and since he was about five, he has been a big brother to James. This woman had entered the family by claiming the child she was pregnant with was his father. The man was always drunk, high, or both. It was possible for the child to be his, but the pre-teen wasn’t so sure. The younger boy looks too much like just the mother and only one or two things could have come from their father.

 The little girl in the woman’s arms was a different story. The girl looked like a mix of the two. Her father’s eyes and dark hair was most clearly seen. The pale skin looked a little lighter than her mother's. Looking in direction of the mother and daughter, his eyes went to the little brown-eyed boy next to him. “Come on, Jimmy.” He motioned for the boy to follow him.

 Out the back door. The two boys saw a boy about ten years old and his brother about Jimmy’s age unpacking their stuff. They were moving into the house across the street, behind theirs. The area they were in an opened area, very much country.

 Jimmy bounced his dark brown hair falling around his eyes. Waving at the pair across the street. When they waved back, that is when the elder of the siblings started to head that way. “Alex, where you going?” Jimmy yelped, before bolting after his older brother.

 Alex shrugged his shoulders. “Greeting the new neighbors.” He gave a big smile. Curly dark brown hair falling before his bright blue eyes.

 Keeping up with his elder brother the two boys walked to the two blond boys across the street. They end up meeting on the road. “I’m Alex this is my brother Jimmy.” Alex held his hand out to the ten-year-old who’s messy blond hair covered his dark blue eyes. They were nearly gray, while Alex’s was bright blue.

 “Herman, this is my brother Rey.” The older of the two blonds introduce himself and the younger. Taking Alex’s hand, the boy didn’t back down. Their hands held each other squeezing trying to make the other fall back. Neither really did though.

 This was going to be an interesting friendship. That was all Alex could think and give the blond a smirk before they let go of each other. With no other neighbors within walking distance, the two were bound to get close.

AGE: 2 Years Old

YEAR: 1976

 Alex flopped down on the couch. He didn’t want to watch his sister, but he was forced to. No choice. Jimmy is sleeping over at someone’s house and his loving stepmother wanted a day out of the house. Glaring at the window, he wanted to throw something through it. Punch a wall... or a couple of faces.

 That is when he heard crying. Getting up, he walked up the stairs. The toddler was screaming bloody murder, by the time he got to the room she was in, he stopped at seeing why she was. A man was standing there, inside of her room. “Bubba!” She screamed at seeing Alex standing in the doorway.

 “Who are you?” The fourteen-year-old asked, glaring at the man.

 He scuffed. “You must be the eldest. I was told only to take the baby, but you might sweeten the pot.” He mumbled, the last part sounding like he was talking to himself rather than at Alex.

 The man had a ski mask on and gloves. Before Alex could escape, something hit him on back of head close to his ear. It was hard enough that made everything go dizzy before he hit the ground. All he could hear was his little sister scream for him.

 The smell of mold and strong like the room was never aired out while water settles into the green slime. Slowly he was starting to wake up, the room was stuffy without the smell of mold, but with the mold smell, it felt almost like he couldn’t breathe. The room was hot too, which explains why the mold probably formed. Though the heat and water in the air causing it hard to breathe from air being heavy too.

 His head was hurting, throbbing. It took a moment for him to realize the sticky feeling his hair to the back of his neck and head. More awake he becomes, the more he noticed. “Bubba…-” Soft crying could be heard. He couldn’t bring himself to open his eyes, but shifting his shoulders, he could tell he was tied to a chair. His legs are too. Hands behind his back in a strange way that if he pulled his arms wrong, one or both would break.

 Even if he did pull trying to break free and break his arms, he'd still be stuck in the chair. “Bubba…-” The whimpering kept him from letting the darkness consume him. Slowly he opened his eyes, though the room seemed to spin slightly. It is dark and took a moment for his eyes to adjust.

 Grunt left his lips, as he tried to piece together what happened. “Joey, Imma here.” He stated, tilting his head forward. Voice was slurred but at hearing his voice with a groan of pain the small child got quiet.

 Eyes finally adjusted fully to the darkness. He could hardly see what looked like heads around him. Even a few small shapes that resembled babies or children. “Bubba…-” Another whimper for Joey which made him turn his head to where her voice was. She was in a small dog crate. The lock had a padlock on it instead of normal pull latch.

 Moving some, he looked around the room. Everything was still a little blurry, and hard to see from the darkness. “Joey, Baby, what do you see around us?” He groaned, not sure where they were. Trying to figure a way they could escape.

 The little girl made a noise before spoke. “Dollies.” She answered, “Bubba… Where mama?” She whimpered.

 Though when the door that was behind him at an angle he couldn’t see it opened, the little girl started to scream. Turning his head to see a man walking to the dog crate and started to pick it up. The little girl was screaming louder now. “Leave her alone!” He screamed at the man that was picking up the crate. “Hey! Dipshit! Leave my sis alone!” He screamed as loud as he could. Throat scratchy and it hurt to talk, screaming made it worst. He really didn’t care at this point as long as these idiots that kidnapped them listened.

 The man then dropped the crate which made the girl scream louder and a crying could be heard. Walking forward to where Alex was, Alex was hit in the face. He could taste the copper in his mouth, blood. Spitting it out onto the man before him. “Ya feel big and bad? Have two defenseless kids trapped?” He growled out. Bright blue eyes looked into the darkness of the man before him.  The man then turns and walked away.

 A ski mask was still on. They were planning on letting them leave alive. “Take the girl. She’s our payment. Leave the boy.” The man snapped orders. That made the teenager’s heart beat fast. Eyes going wide. Looking around at what looked to be eyes all around him.

 Then taking a deep breath, bright blue eyes closed. Just as his baby sister, the one he was regretting babysitting, started to scream again. Screaming at him. “Wait! I can get you money! If that what ya want!” He screams. That made everything go quietly. Even his sister’s voice got lower, whimpering.

 The room then went bright. “How?” The man asked, walking to the teenager. The brightness of the room was blinding, making him squint up at the man. When his eyes readjusted, he blinked a few times to help them adjust. When could see, he spotted ripped to shreds doll pieces and other things around him. He noticed a few mannequins that were either taken apart or not touch. They seemed to be facing him and his sister. Thousand, millions, of human-like eyes looking at them.

 Scoffing, his eyes then looked to where the little girl was, holding her arm to her chest. The bastard must have caught her arm when they dropped the dog crate earlier. The teen glared up at the man that stood before him as another man placed the crate down.

 "I know where my dad hides his money. It's in a vault and I can get into it. Please, let me and Joey go. She is a baby." He stated fear for his sister clear in his voice. He was pleading with them. "Please, I'll get it for you, let her go."

 "How much?" The man that seemed to be their leader asked, which made Alex hesitate for a moment.

 Shaking his head, he didn’t know. "I can't say for sure, but it should be a good bit since he has been placing money into it since I was little. Probably before that." Alex stated, trying to remember clearly. "He always called it retirement." Alex finally stated what he remember their father state when he was still sober more than drunk.

 The men looked at each other, then to the boy. "How long did she said that the family will be out?" Alex could hear one of the men ask the other in a low voice. It was obvious Alex wasn't supposed to hear them.

 "It would be for a few more hours. The boy woke up sooner than what we thought he would." The leader replied, and then their voices got lower.

 Alex was confused about who she would be. How would whoever she is know how long no one but him and Joey would be home?

 The men then turned to the boy. "We are going to have a gun to your sister, we expect you to be on your best behavior or bullet to the brainpan for her." The leader stated. "Get the ropes from the other room. When you get back we will cut him loose to have open the safe for us at the house."

 The second man nodded his head. The teen look at the little girl who was still whimpering in the dog crate. "It's okay, Joey, I'm here. Joey, baby, look at me." That made her blue eyes connect with his own. "Hey, dollface, I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere without you. We are going to do something for these men, then they will let us free." Alex kept talking, waiting for the men to cut him loose. Upon doing so, they tied his wrists up, then freed his legs.

 Bag over his head, he wasn't sure what direction they were going. It was about two hours before they are pulling down a road that felt familiar to him. He doesn't know how the bumps and the jerks from the truck they are in felt familiar to him, but it did.

 Stopping at his house, that was completely dark. That what he could see once they pull the cloth off of his face. "Backdoor. Through the kitchen. It is faster to get to the safe." He commented. They did as he said. Turning on the kitchen light, the backlight turned on too. He reached out with his elbow, flickering the porch light a few times before turning it off. Now he just hoped his friend for past two years noticed the signal.

 Getting to the side door, to his dad's office. The pictures of men in uniforms, a few metals that were encased in picture frames. One picture, in particular, stood out from the others. It was their father when he was younger holding one of the metals in army uniform.

 Getting to the safe he bent down, motioning to his binds behind his back. "Need my hands-free." He stated before the man untied the rope.

 Turning to the safe, he started to put in the code as slow as he could. On purposely messing up. He was claiming he was having an issue with remembering the password. The men patience was running out. They wanted to get the money and leave. It would be easier than have to deal with a toddler.

 A second boy slipped through the opened kitchen door, seeing the men standing just off of the kitchen in the small room. Ducking to not be spotted, the boy frowned, confused about what was going on. No mistaking the masks and spotted the gun that the second one was held to the little girl's head. When the little girl spotted him, the boy, placed his finger to his lips in a 'keep silent' motion.

 The girl watched as the dirty blonds moved closer to the man that was holding the small girl against her will. Sneaking up carefully, he grips the man's arm and pushed upward. The man pulled the trigger. At the gun going off, Alex's arm went back elbowing the man behind him in the groin.

 The dirty blond kept on attacking the man before him. The thirteen-year-old got the man onto the ground, the gun slid away. The dirty blond had to keep punching the man in the face till the man stopped moving.

 Alex had done much of the same thing. The two-year-old ran away to hide.

 Once the two men were down, they called the police. Men arrested, the boys were scolded for taking action in such a dangerous situation. It was a miracle that neither of them or the little girl was seriously hurt.

 The small girl went running up to the boy with her arms up to him. "Her! Her!" she cheered. Her voice was sore and red eyes from crying.

 He went down, picking the two-year-old up carefully. "Her?" One of the officers asked, raising an eyebrow at the young boy.

 A light blush dusted his cheeks. "My name is Herman, sir. She has issues with m sounds right now." Herman explained, scratching the back of his neck.

 The man just nodded his head, finishing the reports. Once the parents there, Joey refuse to let go of Herman. Herman’s mother placed a hand on the small girl’s head, brushing the little girl’s dark lots back. “Mrs. Kozik, will you please, make your hooligan release my daughter.” The woman snarl at Herman’s own mother.

 Her dark blonde hair and silvery blue eyes glared at the darker haired woman that was before her. “Excuse me, Samantha, but my HOOLIGAN saved YOUR daughter’s life. So please give him SOME respect.” The woman snapped.

 Herman spotted the man approaching them before either of the women did. Alex was next to him. “Charlotte, can you watch Josephine and the boys for the rest of the night?” The man asked, his graying dark curly hair was wild.

 The dirty blonde woman nodded her head, motioning to her son and Alex to follow her. Dark blue eyes looked down to the sleeping toddler in her eldest son’s arms. A small smile on her lips. Alex softly leans into the woman who instinctively wrapped her arm around his shoulders, pulling him into a side hug.

 The boy was almost same height as herself, which made her want to laugh. Instead, she just watched the two boys as they crossed the street. There Jimmy was dropped off with her youngest son who both went to Jeffrey’s room. Charlotte helped her sons set up places for the two other boys to sleep. She then set up a small makeshift bed in her eldest son’s room. The two boys not wanting to leave the two-year-old’s side.

 “She will always be protected,” Charlotte stated, placing a cup of coffee in front of the man that sat at her kitchen table. The smell of homemade food in the air, and warmth of home around them.

 Bright and welcoming color walls, with pictures of her boys growing up, with now pictures scattered of the man’s three children with her own. “I suspect that Sam is the reason why this happened.” The man stated, light blue eyes looking up to her own dark ones. “I’m worried that it will happen again.”

 “Do you have any proof?” Charlotte asked, taking a sip of her own coffee. The sun was coming up by the time that he showed up. The smell of the brew in the air before he even came into the kitchen. By the time they started to talk, the coffee was done and she was placing it out for them.

 The man shook his head. “Call it instincts.” He stated, eyes going to where he could hear the older boys moving around.

 The woman sighed. “They are restless. I don’t blame them for the ordeal they went through.” She hummed, taking a long sip of her coffee.

 Charlotte Kozik was anything but stupid. She had her own suspicions of Samantha Trager being the cause of Josephine and Alexander being kidnapped. She had no proof besides that she acted like she was surprised at seeing the child in Herman’s arms. Her first instincts should have been to be worried and relieved, not surprised. That wasn’t enough proof for Charlotte to condemn the woman though. Nothing solid.

Chapter 4

CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE AND SEX SCENES

Carol was checking her emails. She was wondering why she hadn't received her bills as it was that time of the month.

Nothing in the inbox.

Closing the laptop, she made a phone call. Something clearly wasnt right. But as she dialled the number, something came through the letter box. Sighing, she went to the letterbox and picked up the envelope.

She looked horrified. Sprawled in big letters was the sentence. 

EVICTION NOTICE.

When Carol read the full contents of the letter and the reason why she and Billie were being evicted, her anguish turned to anger. It was due to Billie’s behaviour with a local gang who had been terrorising the streets.

When Billie came in an hour later, Carol was ready for confrontation. 

“Have you seen that letter on the end table?” She said in a deadly whisper. Billie looked at her and shook his head then Carol thundered,

“ITS AN EVICTION NOTICE THAT’S WHAT IT IS! BECAUSE OF YOU AND THAT BLOODY GANG YOU'VE BEEN KNOCKING ABOUT WITH! TERRORISING THE NEIGHBOURS AND CAUSING TROUBLE! NOW WERE GONNA BE EVICTED AND THAT’S THE LAST THING I NEED AFTER EVERYTHING THAT’S GOING ON!” 

Billie looked at Carol. He had never seen his mother so angry. As she began to cry, Billie didn't know what to do. He could comfort her, that would help but she would push him away. Instead, he retreated to his room, wanting to the most of the time they had left in the flat.

The Barton kids were at college, the farm and school and Moira had the time to spend with John. After finishing her shift early, she and John came home and embraced. Things seemed so perfect for them at the moment and the revelled in the moment. In fact they were so wrapped up in their own happiness that they didn't see Hannah come home and cry due to the bullying she was receiving at school. It had started a few months ago and showed no sign of stopping. It didn't help that things were being posted about her on the internet.

Carol and Billie moved in with Bianca and Ricky, the day after the eviction notice arrived. There was no point of sticking around after that had arrived. The house was crowded but somehow they would manage. Billie knew that he had to get back in his mothers good books and he decided to get a job at Butlers farm helping Adam Barton on the farm. Carol was pleased by his efforts and decided to accompany him.

As Carol and Billie arrived at Butlers farm, Moira was heading into town.

“Oh hello you must be Carol.” She said pleasantly and Carol smiled and nodded,

“That’s right, I’ve come about the job for my son.”

“My Husband is in the house, talk to him about it. He knows about it more than me.” Moira remarked and headed into town.

Carol walked inside and was approached by John and Carol was amazed at handsome he looked, he reminded her of.....

She couldn't think of David. She hadn't heard from him for a long time and began to think that he had lost interest.

“Hello You must be Carol and its Billie that’s after the job. I’m John and Moira is my wife. I’ve got three kids Adam, Holly and Hannah. Is Billie your only child?” John asked and Carol shook her head,

“No I’ve got three other kids, Bianca,Robbie and Sonya. Grown up off course with kids of their own.” Carol said fondly.

“You don’t look like a grandmother to me.” John said sweetly and Carol smiled. She liked him already.

As Carol and John talked, she was aware of what responsibilities Billie would be doing and they enjoyed each others company. 

“Ill send Billie to the farm first thing in the morning. Thank you for giving him a chance. Hes really determined to make a go of another chance.” Carol remarked and John hugged her before they said goodbye. Carol wished she had a man like John, someone to love her and care for her.

It had been two months since Chas and Carls love affair had been exposed and they were now officially a couple. Although Aaron had forgiven Chas, it was clear it would a while before she could repair the damage that she had done.

“You spoken to Aaron?” Carl asked and Chas shook her head.

“Do you think hell ever forgive me?” Chas asked sadly, it was clearly bothering her that Aaron wasn't haven't proper conversations with er like they used too. Carl held her close,

“Yes he will babe. I promise, its just something to get used too.”He whispered. Chas kissed him, feeling the warmth of his body against her and then when she saw the cheeky grin on his face, she lead him upstairs.

Within moments, they were undressed and Carl was pumping away at her on the bedroom floor. Thankfully, Jimmy and Nicola were out with Angelica so there was no chance of getting disturbed. Chas loved it when she and Carl made love to each other, it always made her feel warm and tense.

Sometime later Chas was checking the internet at clothes websites for some deals when an email notification popped up, it was off Aaron.

Hey Mum,

Look at this. Someone is slagging me and you off.

Aaron xxx

Chas clicked the link and her eyes widened when she saw what it said.

“Chas Dingle needs to keep her legs crossed and look after that lunatic of a son of hers. No wonder she cant keep a man.”

Chas felt angry about this. Whoever had sent was gonna get battered good and proper.

Chesney was playing with his dog Schmicheal. He loved the dog dearly and wouldnt be without him. The love he had for him was overwhelming. He lived with his sister Fiz and her husband John whom he didn't like. He didn't make it obvious out of loyalty to Fiz, he loved his sister and she had been more of a mother figure than his own mother Cilla had been.

“Everything alright Ches?” Fiz asked after she came home from work. Chesney nodded,

“Yeah everythings fine.” Chesney remarked with a smile. Fiz was pleased for him.

Before he went Chesney went on Facebook to see what everyone was up too. He laughed at Kirk's photo of himself in the rovers and made sick noises at Becky and Steve then he suddenly was redirected to a website entitled “Worlds biggest losers.co.uk” Chesney was shocked when he read the third paragraph

“Saw a young teen today, heard his name is Chesney. With a name like that i wonder if he can pull.”

Chesney was horrified. Someone had it in for him and they barely knew him.

Fiz came in,

“Chesney you have school tomorrow. Turn that computer off.” She said and Chesney turned to face her.

“Fiz someone is chatting about me and saying things. Look.” Chesney said and he showed the comments to Fiz.

“Were going to the police Chesney. This is Bad!” Fiz said, shocked by this.

As February progressed and no leads regarding the online hate campaign, the residents decided to continue life as normal.

Carla came home after another stressful day at the Underworld. Nothing had improved since Christmas and she was very worried.

“You ok love?” Michelle asked as she came back from a drink with Maria. Carla shook her head,

“Things are falling apart love. I feel like a failure. And to make matters worse, theres stuff going missing like knickers and bra’s. There’s a thief in our factory!” Carla exclaimed. Michelle raised her eyebrows and Carla could see that she was hesitating.

“What is it?” Carla's asked. Michelle hesitated then said,

“I could be wrong but I did Mercedes the other day hanging about by the stock cupboard. Mercedes McQueen. You know her whose sister worked for Roy and Hayley for a bit.”

Carla briefed over this piece of information carefully then she headed out. When she got her hands on Mercedes, there would be hell to pay.

Carla tracked Mercedes outside StreetCars where she was flirting with Lloyd. 

“Oi you come here!” Carla shouted. Mercedes was shocked by Carla’s attitude. It was clear that Mercedes was a thorn in Carla’s side since she started working for her three weeks before.

“What have I done?” Mercedes asked and Carla got wound up.

“Ill tell you what you've done! You've been stealing, you fucking thief!” Carla yelled. Mercedes scoffed,

“What have I supposed to have stolen?!” 

“Dont play the innocent with me! Knickers and Bra’s thats what. And I want them back!” Carla shouted.

Mercedes was getting annoyed.

“I havent stolen anything! This is wrong this is!” She shouted.

“You and your family are nothing but thief's and slappers the lot of you!” Carla shouted and before she knew it Mercedes slapped her in front of Peter who was walking past. He was unsure of what to do.

It wasnt long before a full blown fight took place right in the middle of the street with slaps and punches being administered and insults hurled. The fight was broken up by Michelle after Peter informed her what happened.

Andy returned home after a long day at Butlers farm. It had been tiring and he was keen to get home and sleep. As he walked in, he was shocked to find Victoria still up and on the internet.

“Vic what you doing?” Andy asked and Victoria looked at him.

“Just browsing.” She said quickly,”Its for homework.”

“Right. Well you should be in bed you have school tomorrow.” Andy said and Victoria nodded.

Whitney was checking her emails. She had Billie on her mind and it was evident. She had just sent him flirtatious text messages and loved the responses. She was unaware that Holly also was interested in him and had attempted flirting with him since he started at Butlers farm. As Whitney was about to shut down, a message popped up in her inbox and she clicked the link, Whitney was shocked by the message from the website,

“You would have thought that Whitney Dean would have learned when it comes to men but shes becoming a walking STD given that she is now toying with the affections of The Bartons latest farm boy.”

Whitney was horrified, was someone watching her? She didnt know. 

Carmel was upset. She had become the latest victim to the online hate campaign. She had been looking at her emails and received an anonymous message like Whitney had.

“After doing my research on the McQueen's I've found out the blonde bimbo Carmel is the biggest dumb blonde ever, with her boring personality its no wonder men find her dull.”

Carmel was clearly by this, Mercedes and Jacqui wanted to hound the person down and beat the shit out of them.

Myra came home. She had been to a party at the Dog and Pond and looked quite nice. She saw the troubled look on Carmels face and sat beside her,

“Whats up love? Your still upset over that comment about you arent you? Listen Carmel you are beautiful inside and out and your a sweet girl and that why Men fall in love with you, take no notice of some idiot on the internet, their not worth it.” Myra said and Carmel smiled at her.

Whitney was once more on the internet analysing the comments about the others including the comment about herself. She wondered what the motive was behind the hate campaign. Was it bitterness? Jealousy? A cruel joke? She didnt know.

As she wrote a secret admirer not to Billie, another message appeared on the website. Whitney analysed the message, it was about Billy Mitchell.

“Billy is by far the biggest idiot Walford has ever seen and I should know. I know him from my being on the game days. He is forever gonna be alone they way he is going.”

Whitney stood up and turned the computer off.

 As Whitney was about to leave, she received a text message from Billie,

Wanna meet up later? x

It was off Billie and Whitney smiled as she replied,

I will later, Think Ive made a breakthrough with this campaign on the internet xx

Whitney headed out and made sure Ryan didnt catch her in the process.

Val and Eric Pollard owned a BandB in Emmerdale not far away from the woolpack. It was a popular place and they were very proud of it. Whitney had got the address from Holly and instead of going in, she went round the back, she saw the culprit behind the hate campaign.

It was Janine Butcher.

“How could you?! Why did you do that?! Put all that stuff on the internet!” Whitney shouted. Janine looked at her,

“Dont know what your on about!” She said unconvincingly. Whitney went for her but was stopped by Val.

“The online bullying! You've been saying awful things about people! Making people’s lives a misery!” Whitney yelled. Janine rolled her eyes.

“People need to get a grip, its only abit of light entertainment, people need to chill out over some daft comments i didn't even mean!” 

Whitney slapped her then and had to be pulled back by Val who was worried the other customers would see.

“What about teenage girls who feel rubbish about themselves already without having some bitch like you making it worse for them?! Hannah Barton ring any bells?!”

“What?! Ive never picked on teenage girls, I dont know anyone called Hannah Barton, I may have said some things about some other people but definitely not anyone of that name! Shes probably a victim of school bullying!” 

Whitney looked at Janine with utter disgust and she walked away with Val and Eric looking bewildered at Janine.

John and Hannah headed to the Sugdens. John was determined to get to the bottom of who was sending stuff on the internet about Hannah. He knew Hannah hadnt been the only one who had malicious comments been posted about her but today it was going to end.

 Diane came to the door, surprised to see John.

“Diane, can I speak to Victoria please?” John asked. Diane looked at him,

“What for? Whats she done?” She asked, oblivious to what was going on. Victoria came downstairs, she had somehow expected this.

“Have you seen the comments on this chat room thing?!” John said sharply to Victoria who looked at the screenshot that he had taken.Victoria was shaken by what had been said.

“This is disgusting Victoria, you should know better than that!” John shouted, Victoria became tearful and Diane folded her arms,

“Im so disappointed in you Victoria I really am.” She said sternly and Victoria was sent to her room.

“Im so sorry John I had no idea.” Diane said solemnly, John nodded.

“At least it could be over now. I hate it when my kids are distressed.” John said before taking Hannah home.

When they got home, Moira had headed to bed early due to illness, Adam was out with Aaron and Holly was in hers and Hannahs room.

“Thats for you help Dad. But what if im hated for being the school grass? Does it make me look weak?” Hannah asked. John held her close.

“No it doesnt darling. It makes them look like a spiteful pair of idiots.” He said and Hannah smiled. 

“Im going to go to bed now Dad.” She said as she hugged him.

As Hannah went into her bedroom, she checked on her hamster Lily. She smiled to herself as she feed her, happy to her torment was over. She didn't know whether to forgive Victoria for her betrayal. 

As Hannah got into her pyjama’s, she saw something sticking out of Holly’s old dollhouse. It looked like a small clear packet containing white powder. Hannah’s eyes widened when she saw what it really was.

It was cocaine.

Next time: A Newcomer causes havoc, The Rovers briefly comes under new management and Aaron gets acquainted with an attractive newcomer.

The Friendly Merman 6/13

Leah returned to the center two days later to find Jim's cot occupied by a large merman with jellyfish burns covering his arms. 

"Where's Jim, Chris?" She called to Pike. "He's in the tank, Dr. McCoy. They moved him a couple days ago. Seems to be getting along fine." Her eyes darted toward the glass wall behind which a school of fish were darting to and fro and the red-haired mermaid was watching intently, seeing Leah, she darted away. "Did I scare her?" She asked worriedly, stepping back. "Oh, no. She's gone to tell Jim you're here. The boy's so excited for your visit." 

Right on cue, Jim appeared in front of her, beaming and waving with his big webbed hand. He looked wonderfully at home in the water and she noticed he didn't appear to be favoring his shoulder at all, which was very good. "Hi, Jim!" She said, not knowing if he'd hear her or not. Jim mouthed something back at her that looked like "Hello, Bones!"

Jim started pointing and gesturing in the other direction and Leah was rather puzzled until Pike explained about the shallow end being easier for human/mer communication.

With a little guidance from Uhura, Leah made her way to the opposite end of the pool and shortly Jim could be seen, golden skin and blue tail flying through the water. He surfaced at the shallows and sat up, dripping with water and huffing happily.

What a gorgeous sight, she thought to herself, trying not to ogle Jim's very toned torso. That was the last thing she should be doing--lusting after a sea creature!

“How's it goin’ Jim?” She greeted him as casually as she could.

“Great, Bones,” he answered. “How's doctoring?”

“It's been rough this week.” She admitted heavily. “Seemed like every other case ended up being beyond help. Glad to see you swimming around again. Pretty soon you’ll be back in your ocean home!”

Jim didn’t seem quite as enthusiastic about this as she’d imagined and he shrugged, refusing to let her deflect from her issues.

“I’m sorry about that, Bones. I remember the old Mer doctor Puri always took it really hard when he lost someone, even though he’d done everything he could for the patient.”

“Sometimes, we forget we’re not infallible,” Leah told him. “Medicine has come a long way, but if you wait too long to get to a hospital, there’s not much we can do, and that’s frustrating. I take it each pod has a doctor that travels with them?”

“Most do,” Jim confirmed. “Some set up dwellings in one location where anybody can come to them, but I didn’t know where to go when I got hurt because there weren’t any loner docs nearby and no pod doc would see me. It was an incredible stroke of luck that you were on that beach when I washed up.”

“Luck-- Or Joanna’s persistent begging to see Merpeople. I finally went out there just to humor her.”

“She didn’t come with you today, though,” Jim observed. “Is she well?”

“Yes, she’s at her grandparents for the weekend. She said to say hi. You’re all she talks about right now.”

Jim smiled. His iridescent blue scales glimmered in the lights, giving him a sparkly look on his tail as he lounged in the water. Leah could see why people were lured to do foolhardy things when they saw a mer. They were beautiful creatures.

“Tell me about human life, Bones. What’s it like as a two-leg? The books we have on humans aren’t very helpful. They mostly warn us to stay away and tell how awful your kind treats us. That’s clearly not all true.”

“True. Like merpeople, there are good people who love the sea and want to take care of it and it's life, and others who are greedy and careless. That's the type that would put you on display somewhere and dump trash in the ocean.”

Jim shuddered. “I'm glad you're not that type.”

“Me too. I like having a soul,” Leah said. At Jim's puzzled look, she explained it was just a saying and moved on to explain to him human lifestyle, diet, and habitations.

Jim was fascinated and peppered her with questions until she absolutely had to leave.

“I'll be back again soon, Jim. I'm sure Uhura and Spock can help you with the information you want.”

“Okay, but they're not nearly as interesting as you are, Bones,” he told her, with a crooked smile that made her heart do a flip.

“Oh, Jim, I don't know why you think I hung the moon. I'm just a grumpy doctor trying to raise my little girl as best I can. I’ll be back, don't you fret you're pretty tail off.”

Jim thought she sold herself short. In his eyes, she was the most amazing human he'd ever met. He laid back in the water and watched as she walked away, heaving a sigh when he couldn't see her anymore. He slipped back underwater and swam slowly back to the girls, thinking of her pretty green/brown eyes and the slight drawl in her voice when she told him about Georgia and her life there.

“Jimmy, I think you're in love!” Said Gaila in a sing-song voice. “Look at those dreamy eyes. His mind is far away right now.”

Jim blushed and crossed his arms. “Don't be ridiculous. I'm merely digesting the information she gave me about the two-leg world. Did you know they drive around in motor vehicles with wheels? And they fly around in metal tubes with wings? It's incredible. I want to see one someday.”

“You haven't seen an airplane before? They fly over the oceans all the time!” Carol said.

“Yes! But so high they're almost specks! I want to see inside one,” Jim said thoughtfully. “Maybe Spock can tell me how they work. Bones didn't seem to like them much. Says they make her sick.”

Spock and Uhura did assist Jim in his quest for understanding and Bones and Joanna brought along picture books for him to look at once they heard he was really interested.

Chekov and Scotty were finally allowed to move to the tank and Jim had more friends to chat with. Scotty seemed to share his curiosity with human machines and they talked for a long time about the workings of engines. Chekov was more of a submarine enthusiast and expounded on the Russians long underwater ships that glided silently through the water.

“I hear there is a nest of American subs up the coast off one of the northern states,” he enthused. “I would love to get a view of one, if only from a distance.”

Over that summer, Jim learned a lot, even how to read human Standard. Spock, Uhura, and Bones were willing teachers and Joanna encouraged him greatly. Soon, however, she had to return to school and Jim to the sea. His new pod needed to ready for migration before the water got too cold. Jim, however, was reluctant to leave. He'd become very attached to Leah and dreaded the day he'd be separated from her.

“You know, Bones, I’d stay here for you,” he said plaintively one August evening at their beachside meeting place. “I can't stand the thought of leaving you now.”

“Aww, Jim,” Leah sighed, “I’ll miss you too, so will Jo. But you have to go. Wouldn't want your pretty pointy ears to freeze, now, or that fancy fin thing.”

Jim smiled sadly and wiggled his fin, splashing her with the spray.

“I could stay in the center instead. They made the climate perfect for us,” he suggested.

“You'd go crazy spending the whole winter in that tank,” she reminded him. “Not to mention, they need the room for mers who physically can't migrate. Plus, your new pod needs you. You're their leader.”

“It should be Pike. He's the elder.” Jim muttered, picking at the remnants of a trout he'd had for lunch.

“In wisdom and experience, but your youth and energy is vital to their survival out there. You’ll be back next summer. Jo and I aren't gonna up and disappear while you'll gone.”

“It's such a long time, Bones,” Jim warned sadly. “We don't usually come back until the fourth moon cycle of the new year.  A lot can happen in that time.”

“Sure it can, but I’d rather you come back healthy than be miserable cooped up all winter. I'd imagine these migrations keep you fit, as well.”

She eyed Jim's trim abdominal muscles approvingly, which made the mer grin smugly.

“Well, since you clearly admire my physique I'll strive to keep it that way,” Jim declared, posing shamelessly like he was a mer model on a pinup calendar. Leah turned pink and chuckled.

“You rascal. Good thing you don't leave until October. We still have time to teach you how to properly impress the mermaids.”

She winked at him, resulting in Jim's squeaky giggle.

“You trying to get me a mate, Bones?” He questioned.

“Yep. Who knows what trouble you'll cause the impressionable young human women while you'll here? Better get you safely taken before you leave a swathe of broken hearts behind,” she teased him.

If Bones could have known what Jim was thinking, she would have been even more eager to get him settled down.

If only I was human. I'd totally find the prettiest shells I could and try to woo her. I've never felt about a mermaid the way I feel for her. Maybe I can bring something nice back from the migration grounds. That's what I'll do.

Comforted by these thoughts, Jim began planning.

Leah returned to the center two days later to find Jim's cot occupied by a large merman with jellyfish burns covering his arms. "Where's Jim, Chris?" She called to Pike. "He's in the tank, Dr. McCoy. They moved him a couple days ago. Seems to be getting along fine."

“Me too. I like having a soul,” Leah said. At Jim's puzzled look, she explained it was just a saying and moved on to explain to him human lifestyle, diet, and habitations.

Jim was fascinated and peppered her with questions until she absolutely had to leave.

“I'll be back again soon, Jim. I'm sure Uhura and Spock can help you with the information you want.”

“Okay, but they're not nearly as interesting as you are, Bones,” he told her, with a crooked smile that made her heart do a flip.

“Oh, Jim, I don't know why you think I hung the moon. I'm just a grumpy doctor trying to raise my little girl as best I can. I’ll be back, don't you fret you're pretty tail off.”

Jim thought she sold herself short. In his eyes, she was the most amazing human he'd ever met. He laid back in the water and watched as she walked away, heaving a sigh when he couldn't see her anymore. He slipped back underwater and swam slowly back to the girls, thinking of her pretty green/brown eyes and the slight drawl in her voice when she told him about Georgia and her life there.

“Jimmy, I think you're in love!” Said Gaila in a sing-song voice. “Look at those dreamy eyes. His mind is far away right now.”

Jim blushed and crossed his arms. “Don't be ridiculous. I'm merely digesting the information she gave me about the two-leg world. Did you know they drive around in motor vehicles with wheels? And they fly around in metal tubes with wings? It's incredible. I want to see one someday.”

“You haven't seen an airplane before? They fly over the oceans all the time!” Carol said.

“Yes! But so high they're almost specks! I want to see inside one,” Jim said thoughtfully. “Maybe Spock can tell me how they work. Bones didn't seem to like them much. Says they make her sick.”

Spock and Uhura did assist Jim in his quest for understanding and Bones and Joanna brought along picture books for him to look at once they heard he was really interested.

Chekov and Scotty were finally allowed to move to the tank and Jim had more friends to chat with. Scotty seemed to share his curiosity with human machines and they talked for a long time about the workings of engines. Chekov was more of a submarine enthusiast and expounded on the Russians long underwater ships that glided silently through the water.

“I hear there is a nest of American subs up the coast off one of the northern states,” he enthused. “I would love to get a view of one, if only from a distance.”

Over that summer, Jim learned a lot, even how to read human Standard. Spock, Uhura, and Bones were willing teachers and Joanna encouraged him greatly. Soon, however, she had to return to school and Jim to the sea. His new pod needed to ready for migration before the water got too cold. Jim, however, was reluctant to leave. He'd become very attached to Leah and dreaded the day he'd be separated from her.

“You know, Bones, I’d stay here for you,” he said plaintively one August evening at their beachside meeting place. “I can't stand the thought of leaving you now.”

“Aww, Jim,” Leah sighed, “I’ll miss you too, so will Jo. But you have to go. Wouldn't want your pretty pointy ears to freeze, now, or that fancy fin thing.”

Jim smiled sadly and wiggled his fin, splashing her with the spray.

“I could stay in the center instead. They made the climate perfect for us,” he suggested.

“You'd go crazy spending the whole winter in that tank,” she reminded him. “Not to mention, they need the room for mers who physically can't migrate. Plus, your new pod needs you. You're their leader.”

“It should be Pike. He's the elder.” Jim muttered, picking at the remnants of a trout he'd had for lunch.

“In wisdom and experience, but your youth and energy is vital to their survival out there. You’ll be back next summer. Jo and I aren't gonna up and disappear while you'll gone.”

“It's such a long time, Bones,” Jim warned sadly. “We don't usually come back until the fourth moon cycle of the new year.  A lot can happen in that time.”

“Sure it can, but I’d rather you come back healthy than be miserable cooped up all winter. I'd imagine these migrations keep you fit, as well.”

She eyed Jim's trim abdominal muscles approvingly, which made the mer grin smugly.

“Well, since you clearly admire my physique I'll strive to keep it that way,” Jim declared, posing shamelessly like he was a mer model on a pinup calendar. Leah turned pink and chuckled.

“You rascal. Good thing you don't leave until October. We still have time to teach you how to properly impress the mermaids.”

She winked at him, resulting in Jim's squeaky giggle.

“You trying to get me a mate, Bones?” He questioned.

“Yep. Who knows what trouble you'll cause the impressionable young human women while you'll here? Better get you safely taken before you leave a swathe of broken hearts behind,” she teased him.

If Bones could have known what Jim was thinking, she would have been even more eager to get him settled down.

If only I was human. I'd totally find the prettiest shells I could and try to woo her. I've never felt about a mermaid the way I feel for her. Maybe I can bring something nice back from the migration grounds. That's what I'll do.

Comforted by these thoughts, Jim began planning.
