Pacific rim au snippet?? for us to live a little happier in coming days ksjadjshs? 👀

i am pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead

The day Sebastian Vettel descends on the Faenza Academy, four things happen.

First, a series of rumors fly across the entirety of base. Charles is ninety percent sure they’re George’s doing, but the way they telephone between the cadets is truly a modern marvel. In the morning the word is that Vettel is visiting to scope out the cadets to select his new copilot, never mind that none of them have ever even drifted in their lives. By noon the story has been transformed into a harrowing tale involving Vettel, a recent Kaiju attack in Cabo, and a torrid affair with Director Binotto’s wife.

“Did you hear about Binotto’s wife?” George asks during lunch, eyes wide.

“That was your rumor, idiot,” Alex tells him. “Obviously it’s not true. Binotto doesn’t even have a wife.”

By that afternoon, it’s rumored that Binotto lost his wife in a Kaiju attack in Cabo, where she bravely fought in a top-secret test jaeger as Vettel’s copilot.

The second thing that happens is training is suspended for a full day. Truthfully, Charles thinks this should be the real source of rumors, but they’re all so burned out none of the cadets want to question having a day off. It doesn’t mean they actually take the day off—they’re too bored for that, and they’ve forgotten how to do anything else than train relentlessly and occasionally study the odd K-Science journal.

Still, the Director, his assistants, half the training staff and Vettel all spend the morning locked in a conference room doing god knows what.

“They ordered pizza about an hour ago,” Alex tells him. He’s been pretending to read Jaeger Daily for two hours, sprawled out on a towel stolen from the bathroom while he pretends not to watch the Operations building from behind his sunglasses. “I heard you can predict a war based on how often the militaries order pizza. It means they’re planning something.”

“This is Italy,” Pierre says, unbothered, stripped shirtless and sprawled out in the sun a few paces away. “They order pizza literally every day.”

Alex hums. “And they got affogatos.”

“Affogatos?! Mon Dieu. Call the press.”

It probably means nothing, but it’s certainly strange—the conference, not the pizza. Vettel is a well-known face not just in the Jaeger program, but in the world. He was confirmed into the program just a handful of months earlier after having matched with some kid in Australia, and once their Jaeger goes into service he’ll be the first European ranger ever. It’s not a great statistic, seeing as there have only been six rangers in active combat in the history of the planet, but it’s still something.

The Faenza school is small, and often forgotten; most of the European academies are the same way. That’s why it’s even stranger that Vettel is here, of all places.

The third thing that happens that day is Charles kicks Max’s ass in the Kwoon. It’s not related to Vettel in any way, but it’s still funny.

Charles’ first impression of Max when they met eight months ago was that he’s too serious. His eyes are shaped like half-moons, clearly designed for laughing, but he frowns all the time. His lower lip juts out a little, petulant. Charles’ dad used to scold Charles for pouting like that when he was little, warning him his face would get stuck like that, and if Charles was too old for it at seven then Max is much too old for it at sixteen. It’s possible that his face is stuck like that, in fact, since the months that Charles has known him he hasn’t relaxed once. 

He doesn’t relax while training. He doesn’t relax in the rec room. He doesn’t relax while eating—if anything he’s the least relaxed doing that, shoveling food into his mouth like he’s about to be called to attention at any second. His frown lingers as they run laps of the dusty base in Faenza, the sun beating down hot and unrelenting, and while he’s training on the sim: thirteen drops and eleven kills, a record that’s second best only to Charles’ own.

“Beginner’s luck, huh?” Max had said when Charles had stepped out of the sim for the first time, exactly one kill to his name. He doesn’t say that the second time, or the third, or the fourth.

Like Charles said. No sense of humor.

Max is good at Muay Thai, which pisses Charles off to no end. It’s not that Charles is bad at it, he’s just been a little shorter than Max and a lot more wiry for the entire time they’ve known each other. Max is gangly too, but his legs are stronger, a fact that Charles has learned on more than one occasion by catching a knee straight to the solar plexus—a blow which Max barely has to strain to deliver. They’ve sparred—fought, really—enough times now for Charles to know that no matter how quick he can be, Max still has a serious physical advantage.

“Teach me Judo,” he told his trainer the fifth time Max pressed him out of the ring during a training session—a fight—with a heavy offense and pointy elbows, the director’s assistant watching from the corner and taking notes on a clipboard.

“We don’t usually teach that,” Andrea told him. “You’ll never beat a kaiju by throwing it.”

“I want to beat him.” At Andrea’s hesitation he added, “I’ll train extra. I don’t care.”

So Andrea started teaching him Judo; and on the day that Vettel arrives at the academy Charles steps into the ring with Max, letting him get two swings in before grabbing his wrist, using his momentum against him and flipping him square over his shoulder.

Max hits the mat hard enough that the sound echoes through the empty kwoon.

“Judo isn’t on the training list,” Max gripes, pushing himself up and rolling over to clutch at his nose. “Fuck.”

“I’m just adapting to the style of my opponent,” Charles says flatly. “As any good ranger would do.”

“I hate you,” Max tells him, dabbing at his nose—entirely for dramatic effect, since there isn’t a drop of blood in sight and Charles is pretty sure he didn’t even hit him there—and then spins on the mat to kick Charles’ feet out from under him.

Charles goes toppling, landing with a grunt, which is the moment Max decides to try to wrestle him. A horrible decision, really. Max is shit at wrestling. It takes all of thirty seconds for Charles to pin him, catching his left arm in an ude-garami, which is the exact moment that the door swings open.

“Ah,” Director Binotto says. “Leclerc and Verstappen, some of the brightest in our youth program.”

“Let me up,” Max hisses through his teeth, his breath hot against his ear, but Charles just tightens his grip.

“You haven’t tapped out,” Charles replies, holding Max down with his own chest as he twists Max’s elbow. Max lets out a string of noises that sound very Dutch and very rude.

“They do look it,” someone says blandly, and when he looks up Charles is greeted by the sight of Sebastian Vettel standing over him.

He springs to his feet, snapping to attention. Max follows suit, albeit a little slower.

“Relax,” Vettel says. “We don’t stand on rank in the kwoon. I thought that was the first rule of training,” he adds, raising his voice a little.

Binotto shrugs. “We do things differently here.”

Vettel’s eyebrows flash up, then back down again. He ignores the director, giving them both an easy smile, and Charles and Max’s hands fall away at the same time. “I’ve never visited any of the youth programs, but I’ve heard great things,” he says. “How long have you been training?”

“Eight months, sir,” Charles says.

“Please, it’s Sebastian. You’ve been here since the opening of the academy, then,” Sebastian says, his mouth forming into a C shape. “And you’ve been training to be copilots?”

Charles looks at Max, who’s already looking back. His mouth is pouty again, his eyebrows furrowed. Too serious.

“Our cadets did not begin the matching process until last week,” Binotto says, stepping forward to take his place at Sebastian’s side. “We have been training them as a group in the hopes that compatibility would be demonstrated organically, and for the most part that has proved to be successful.”

“How so?”

Binotto lets out a little hum. “Some pairs we brought in together proved to be compatible—siblings, best friends. Other times this proved to be the opposite. And then of course, some compatible pairs just find each other. We had our suspicions, but neural aptitude tests only confirmed it.”

Charles frowns, a protest poised behind his teeth.

“And you two train on the sim together?” Sebastian asks them, his face open.

“No,” Max says. “We only train solo.”

“What are your scores?”

“Thirteen drops, eleven kills.”

“Thirteen, twelve,” Charles adds, and can’t bite down the smug smile when Max shoots a glare his way.

Sebastian raises his eyebrows, blowing out a breath. He looks to Binotto, who raises his eyebrows with a small smile.

“That’s impressive,” Sebastian says. “You both want to be rangers one day?”

“Yes, sir,” they say, and it unfortunately comes out in perfect unison.

Sebastian looks at them for a long beat, a serene smile on his face. “I’m not here at an official capacity. I’m just here to scope out the copilot matches in our youth program. You probably already had some idea that you’re drift compatible,” he says, which Charles was not aware of at all, and then while he’s still reeling from that piece of information, “but the tests last week identified you at somewhere between ninety nine point seven and ninety nine point nine percent.”

“That’s not right,” Max blurts out. “We’re not compatible.”

Sebastian’s eyebrows raise. “Neural tests prove otherwise. So do fighting styles and sim scores, from the looks of it.”

“But we don’t get along.”

“That doesn’t always mean something.” He tilts his head. “If this comes as a surprise, it might be helpful to know that compatibility is about balance as much as it’s about similarities. You might see differences in each other, but in a Jaeger those things will become complementary parts.”

Charles can’t hold back a tiny scoff. What’s supposed to be complementary about Max? His bullheadedness? His ability to eat food faster than the mess hall can produce it?

“Gentlemen,” Binotto says, which is another first—Binotto has never called them that in their lives. “The Jaeger Program needs cadets. Not just rangers, but mechanics, strategists, engineers, support coordinators, biologists, neuroscientists—we need personnel, and now that the academy is on its feet and more jaegers are going into service, it’s time to identify who is part of a viable drift pairing, and who would be better suited to a different division.”

At his side, Max sucks in a short breath, barely audible. Charles himself straightens. He knows a threat when he hears one.

“We’d like to start a project to test drift compatibility through a rudimentary neural handshake,” Binotto says, “and we’re going to be testing that project on you.”

And that’s how the fourth thing happens.

WIP Wednesday/ Six Sentence Sunday Dinner Combo meal

Ok . . . Life is crazy here but I noticed a few lovely people have tagged me in past WIP Wednesdays and Six Sentence Sundays and I'm so flattered that you did. Never meant to ignore it - just always looked at it, said, oh I'll do that - and then life got away from me. and I, um forgot - so sorry!

So here's just a bit of a writing dump then as a belated thanks to :

@forabeatofadrum , @wordsofhoneydew , @thnxforknowingme ,@myheartalivewrites . . and crap if I've forgotten anyone, I'm sorry!

Oooh and @rockitmans and @shame-is-a-wasted-emotion , thank you for tagging me today!

*********

I'll give you two bits of writing for the price of one ( for 2 different fandoms: Klaine and RWRB) because you all are so lovely . .

1.) From my current Klaine WIP (If I Can Make Your Heart My Home)

 Slowly Blaine wandered into the back of the room trying to track down his coat, cringing slightly that every person at the event seemed to have the same identical outerwear. “Leaving so soon?” Blaine whipped around, seeing Sebastian in the doorway staring at him. “Yes,” Blaine said tiredly, “I think it’s time for me to go.” Sebastian took a step into the room, his confidence oozing off of him. “Now we can’t have that.” he told Blaine with a grin. “And why not?” “Because it wouldn’t look good for you to leave without your date.” “This isn’t a date, Sebastian. “ Blaine sighed.  “I thought I made myself clear when this night started.  Not a date . . It’s just an. . .” “Arrangement, whatever, “ said Sebastian nonchalantly.  He waved his hands about dismissively.  “Call it what you want, I don’t care.”  Took another few steps closer to Blaine and causally leaned against one of the coat racks. “But I do have an image to uphold.”

2.) Here is the start of a spy fic that's rattling around in my head that would be a RWRB/firstprince fic .

Tentatively named, "Shaken, Not Stirred". This is inspired by a great piece of artwork by @noodles-and-tea

NOTE: In my research employees of the CIA are actually referred to as "officers" not "agents" like they do in the movies. So, right now I have the characters referred to as such - I'm debating to just chuck that aside and go the Hollywood route and call them all agents.

“What in the everloving fuck?!” “You heard me.” Officer Alexander Claremont-Diaz stopped in the middle of his rant, his mouth agape and seriously hoping his hearing had been effected by his recent stint at the shooting range. Yeah, he wore the appropriate ear protection. . .most of the time.   But what the hell? “You’re joking, right?  You must be joking, Zee.”  Opposite him, his direct superior, Senior Operations Officer Zahra Bankston sat, cool, calm, and eerily still: like a viper waiting to strike.  Her head slowly raised from the black leather portfolio she was reviewing.  Her eyes narrowed and her expression . . .well if Alex believed that looks really could kill . .  .then from that 3 second glance alone he would have been eviscerated, the minuscule pieces sealed in concrete and then dumped somewhere in the Potomac River.   Alex swallowed loudly at realizing his mistake ( REMINDER: never, ever try informal talk with the head of your division, especially this department head) and shrunk yet so slightly lower in his seat. “I do not joke.  Not about this.  Not about my job.”

Manila, Philippines — VoicePlay & Rachel Potter live performances

When VoicePlay and their buddy Rachel Potter released their "Moana medley" video in the summer of 2017, it went a bit viral and brought them a number of new fans, especially among young kids and their parents. A year later, one of those families invited the six singers to perform at their daughter's birthday party in Manila, with the added incentive of a public show for more of their Filipino fans. A trip to the other side of the world was an opportunity they weren't about to pass up. Even if it did require a full day of travel each way, everyone agreed that the experience was well worth it.

✯ Flawless - Sebastian Stan

the only way

my materialist - the night before the funeral

Warnings and Information:

First of all, hello to all of you,

there are a couple of things I want to mention before we start the story.

Nora is a character I created myself. I based her character profile on Taylor Hill and Daisy Edgar Jones, but it is up to you to imagine her as you wish throughout the story :)

Nora first appeared on the Victoria's Secret Show in 2013. Taylor Hill made her debut on this runway in 2014. So, I will make some changes about the 2013 runway. I tried to go as close to real life as possible, but as I said, I want to focus on a specific period of time, so I won't bore you with too many details.

✯

Six months of my life were about to be dedicated to my worst enemy, Sebastian Stan. The two of us exited Russell's office before I nearly pushed Sebastian into the open door frame. An angry groan escaped my lips and made me smile as he tossed my hair over his shoulder and turned back through the revolving doors.

What Russell and Alex said before was true. The fans begged for Sebastian and I to get back together one day. The two of us had gone through one of the worst breakups that made headlines everywhere. It didn't matter where we went, someone would have the audacity to talk about us like; Didn't you go out with Sebastian Stan?

I was never about to lie, Sebastian and I were a power couple. The steamy romance officially began when I was nineteen, Sebastian was thirty at the time.

It was spring 2013. I had been out of college for over a year and had the opportunity to walk my first runway for New York Fashion Week. As confident as I was and as much as I knew my time had come, I didn't realize it would happen so soon after graduating from modeling school.

I was immediately taken under the wing of countless people within the organization, I prepared, we prepared and I went over everything we needed to know. On the night of the fashion show, I was already noticing familiar faces as I looked backstage. Huge celebrities were sitting around, many of them directly in front. This only made my nerves jump even more. My excitement was growing exponentially in an unpredictable way.

As night fell, it was my turn to take to the podium. Combining everything I had been taught in all my years of training and the training I had received from the leaders of this special show, I gave it my all. I wore a cream-colored dress tied at the neck with thin strings with dazzling sparkles that shimmered under the iridescent lights of the building. I placed my hands on my hips, running my heels back and forth on the catwalk with such grace and poise that the spotlight was directly on me. And this was the first moment of a little boy's dream coming true for the first time. I swayed the whole walk, considering I come from a noble background.

I had reached the end of the line when I saw a handsome stranger sitting on the left side. When I saw his dazzling blue eyes widen at the sight of me, I knew instantly that he was interested in me. Or maybe I was starting to hallucinate on the adrenaline of my first show. He sat up straight in his seat, biting his lower lip in front of me with a gentle smile and a very sexy wink. I noticed a blonde man sitting next to her, nudging her, smiling back at me, and I couldn't help grinning broadly as I winked at him, turned around and disappeared down the catwalk.

Backstage there were monitors for everyone to see and a fellow model who had already walked by was running towards me with a big smile.

“It was amazing that this was your first big show!” She smiled and then giggled. “You even got Sebastian Stan's attention.”

I frowned.

"Sebastian who? ”His mouth fell open.

“Girll!!.” Her eyes widened. "That was Sebastian Stan and Chris Hemsworth sitting together in the front row. How could you not know that?"

I smiled stupidly, embarrassment starting to take over. As the night progressed, I was still there and the handsome stranger's eyes kept falling directly on me. He licked his lips a few times and that's when I knew I had him. I wiggled my fingers flirtatiously as I rocked back and forth before the show finally came to an end.

Later that night, the party started, with the stranger in attendance. His eyes widened slightly as he looked through the crowd and gave me a close look. For the party, I had worn a long skirt with lace-up heels in a light cream color and a deep slit in a dark brown color and a basic crop in the same color. I was transformed into a minimal, simple and glamorous look.

“I have to say, you were the most beautiful model there.” His voice became clear and sent shivers down my spine. I turned around to see him, my eyes staring into his deep, oceanic eyes. Tucking a loose lock of hair behind my ear, I smiled contentedly in his direction, catching his attention.

“Yeah,” I sighed. “It looks like someone's enjoying the show.” I winked.

He held out his hand and let out a laugh.

“I'm Sebastian Stan, by the way.” I looked at his hand for a second and gently placed mine on top of his.

“Nora Walter,” I said my name with a slight tilt of my head. Thinking this was the last time we would speak, I started meeting people at the party and talking about the catwalk.

I didn't try to turn around, so the footsteps thundered loudly behind me.

“Are you following me?” I muttered, realizing it was Sebastian who was mocking my comment.

“Look, I hate this as much as you do.” He called out, making me stop where I was. I turned around and looked at him, crossing my arms over my chest. I chose to take my eyes off him as I searched for my car.

“But if we're about to do this, we should be a little friendly.” As he pinched the bridge of my nose, his voice irritating every fiber of my being.

"Sebastian, look, as soon as you heard you were going to make more movies, you jumped on this deal.” I raised one eyebrow and stated the facts I had just stated.

Sebastian's eyes narrowed. “I can tell you the same,” he murmured. “Frankly, you were in too much of a hurry to sign for more podiums than you could have imagined.

Shrugging, I pulled my keys out of my bag and pressed the lock twice to indicate the location of my car.

“I have a program this weekend that you better not ruin for me, Stan.” I pointed my index finger at him. “I'm going to kill you in your sleep.”

Sebastian laughed.

“Wasn't that the first time you thought about it, hm?” He rolled his eyes and started walking in the opposite direction. I let out an exasperated sigh. I started walking to my car, when I finally reached my car, I quickly got in and threw my bag on the side seat. A scream escaped my mouth as I slammed my hands on the steering wheel. I didn't want to do this, I hated him, and I knew that only Sebastian would secretly enjoy the pain it would cause me.

[rosyjuly]

Power walking into your asks huffing and puffing out of breath mopping my brow could I ask for… thoughts on spoils of war… the most beloved universe of all time…

Perhaps… some insight on mark and seb’s time as blood brothers? Were they inseparable and true and feared on the battlefield?

Perhaps… some clues as to what Toto has in store for Mick when he calls Mick to him at the end of part 2?

Perhaps… some hint on Seb’s alliance with Maurizio? (Seb X Tp agenda rise—I am taken away)

Perhaps… any backstory you’d like to give about the other knights of Toto? (Kekekeke knights of the round table—I am taken away a 2nd time)

Anything you’re willing to share about this universe I will gobble up like a starving person

athy!!! thank you. this got long so i'm putting it under a read more.

mark and seb: i think mark thinks seb is unrealistically young when he’s knighted, and when he learns they’ll be in the same regimen, he hates it. he fought along seb once a few years back and seb was taking too big risks and took on more than he could chew, injuring mark’s horse and his own in the fight. but seb spent a few years under schumacher’s wings, so. maybe that helped. 

quickly it turns out that seb has matured, that he wields his sword masterfully now, that his eye for strategy has only sharpened. mark begins to respect him. anyway there’s some horrible rain where half the tents end up flooded and seb is sopping wet but still somehow laughing about it. mark tells him to get his sorry ass into his own tent and lends him some dry clothes and the spare bedspread. but seb is still shivering and mark can’t sleep because of his teeth clattering, so he drags seb closer and SPOONS HIM. except seb can’t stay still and soon mark is trying to shift away so his dick isn’t poking seb in the small of his back, but seb really, really doesn’t mind. anyway you remember that line that’s like, Sebastian would try to kiss him if they were alone, would risk Mick shoving his face away because for some, taking a man is different than kissing him. WELL! there’s a reason why seb knows that so well!!!! 

toto & mick: i think toto genuinely likes mick in every universe! hates that mick came back home all heartsick after toto’s rival. he tried introducing him to the fine dames of the court, but mick remained polite but uninterested. and tbh? toto WANTS him to prove that he can be rough and indifferent with sebastian. that’s what he was supposed to learn in the war, that emotions make you weak. i won’t say more because i still have hope that i’ll write ch3 for SoW and i don’t want to spoil it (lovely anon who also sent me an ask about it, this is also for you!). 

seb & maurizio: so the prince-electors and the system of electing the king is based on the Holy Roman Empire’s practice. i think seb and maurizio met while michael was king and maurizio was one of his commanders. i would also like to remind you that i wrote SoW in like, six? hours so i don’t have a lot of things fleshed out lolol. 

other knights: lewis is said to be toto’s right hand, the trusted one to defeat maurizio on the borders… nico and him were commanders at the same time, but there was too much tension that demoralized the regimens, so toto had them duel for it, and eventually nico “decided” to take a seat on the council instead. he resents both lewis and secretly also toto for this. also george and alex grew up together and are iN LOVE and the first time they do anything is in the chambers as mick fucks seb, because everyone around them is hooking up.

FACTS AND STATS: Three champs on top in first-ever race to feature three red flags

It was drama all the way at Melbourne’s Albert Park on Sunday, as Red Bull’s Max Verstappen held his nerve to secure his first win on Australian soil, bringing him level with Ayrton Senna’s podium total in the process. But there were plenty of other fascinating figures to arise from Down Under… Today’s Grand Prix was the first F1 race in history to feature three red flags. The last time a race finished under the Safety Car was at Monza in Italy in 2022. Verstappen had never previously won in Melbourne. RACE REPORT: Verstappen takes first-ever Australian GP win amid huge drama in Melbourne Red Bull's only previous Melbourne victory was in 2011 with Sebastian Vettel. It’s the first time Red Bull have won the first three races of an F1 season. Verstappen’s 80th career podium finish ties him with Ayrton Senna's total. Verstappen and Hamilton have now finished one-two (in either order) 34 times, more than any other driver pairing in history. Lance Stroll helped ensure an excellent day for the Aston Martin team Hamilton – second today – had not completed a lap in the top four in the opening two races of the year. Hamilton made his first Mercedes start in Melbourne 10 years ago. Fernando Alonso took a third consecutive podium finish for the first time since 2013. The last time three world champions finished on the podium together was Hungary 2018 (Hamilton/Vettel/Raikkonen). Today’s podium trio of Verstappen, Hamilton and Alonso boast 11 world titles between them. DRIVER OF THE DAY: Perez gets your vote after pit lane-to-P5 charge in Melbourne With Lance Stroll following team mate Alonso home, there were two Aston Martins in the top-four for the first time in the history of the marque. With Lando Norris in P6 and team mate Oscar Piastri P8, McLaren scored points for the first time in 2023. Those were the first points of Piastri’s F1 career and he scored them on home soil. Yuki Tsunoda finally got his name on the 2023 scoreboard Nico Hulkenberg’s seventh place for Haas was the team’s best result since Austria last year. Hulkenberg has now finished seventh in five of his last six starts in Australia. At Alfa Romeo, Zhou Guanyu in P9 scored his first points since Monza last year, the most recent race to finish behind the Safety Car prior to today. In P10 for AlphaTauri, Yuki Tsunoda finally scored after finishing one place outside the points at the previous three races. Carlos Sainz crossed the line fourth, but ended up in P12 after a five-second penalty for his collision with Alonso dropped him down the order. Team mate Charles Leclerc went out on Lap 1 for the fifth time in his F1 career. READ MORE: 'It's the worst start to the season ever' says Ferrari's Leclerc as he laments Lap 1 DNF in Australia George Russell’s DNF was his first mechanical retirement as a Mercedes driver, and only his second retirement for the team for any reason. Williams’ Alex Albon ran in sixth place before his early accident. He only completed one lap in the top six in the entire 2022 season. via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

"You knew him before the accident? How?" Jenkins was especially confused by this. "I didn't remember right away, but it finally came to me. Gene, I knew him as that. Not by the name he took to survive. Long before his accident had happened. I was just a small kid when I knew him. That's why I couldn't remember right away. He was my babysitter." Archie looked over at Alex, who also had a look of recognition. "You're that kid he was babysitting! I remember you!" Alex was quiet for a moment before speaking again. "You're the kid who made that guy run out of his house screaming and with his pants around his ankles." Archie turned red at that. "I was only six years old at the time. He should've let me take the spiders instead of exterminating them all. He deserved it." If Patricia was there, she would surely tease Archie over that. Calling him the real-life Dennis the Menace. It was true, but it's still quite embarrassing for Archie to admit that. Dr.Two-Brains parked his van, and Rachel parked right beside him. The mad scientist unlocked and opened the door to his lair. "There we go." He allowed Rachel to go into the warehouse first. "Thank you, Dr.Two-Brains." She gave him a smile before she walked into the lair. Manny and Charlie were both on the couch, watching some random show that was on the television. They were enjoying their show while eating popcorn. Charlie had an arm around Manny, the latter leaning against the former comfortably. They were surprised to see Rachel enter with Dr.Two-Brains. "Oh! Hello, boss. Hello, Miss." He gave her a little wave, Charlie had also waved at her. Rachel smiled at them. She dug into a bag and took a plastic container out. "I'll let her do what she came here to do. Enjoy your night, boys." Dr.Two-Brains made his way to his spare room that the henchmen didn't occupy. Rachel had given Manny the plastic container filled with cookies that she had baked just that day. "I never really got to thank you two properly for keeping me safe and reassuring me." They both looked excited for the baked treats. "Gee, thank you! And it's no problem, we just watched you, that is all." They both were very kind despite being henchmen. “Still, thank you. Both of you were a great comfort to me.” She smiled at them warmly and they smiled back. Charlie nodded at her. They didn't waste any time opening the plastic container filled with baked goods. Both had taken a couple of cookies and eaten them. “Wow! These are really good! Thank you, lady!” Rachel was happy to see that they liked the gift. Charlie nodded in agreement with his boyfriend. Dr.Two-Brains was looking through something he kept hidden within his spare room. He pulled out his little bedside table, revealing a small hidden door with a lock. The villain quickly unlocked it and reached in. He had taken out a small box. Dr.Two-Brains placed the box onto the bedside table and removed the cover of said box. Inside contained several pictures. Some were of himself before everything went down the drain. Some pictures were of his siblings. One picture that was in there made Dr.Two-Brains freeze. He stared at it, tears welling up within his eyes. There, he saw his deceased best friend. Rebecca Fuller. Stargirl. He quickly wiped away his tears. Flipping through the pictures more until he saw Matthew. It was strange. In the picture, he didn't see Maddrix the malicious but his pops. The man who cared for him and his siblings. After he fled the college, he went to the house to pick up a few things before he left the city for his own safety. These pictures and documents were what was left of a life that was so long ago. He placed the pictures down and took the forged paperwork his fathers had gotten done. He still couldn't believe that his father had named him Genetics, after the field of science. It was embarrassing but Gene still missed being called Genetics Sebastian Woods whenever he got into trouble with Carl. He would do anything to get lectured by him now. He wished he could see his pops just one more time.

@thecountoflondonfansite

Though someone this Miss Ito did know Henry Jekyll. Did his brother's new boyfriend get this woman to look into him? If so, why didn't this man just ask Dr.Two-Brains about himself? This raised more questions than it answered. Maybe Henry didn't have the courage to look into his brother after he gave him a little 'friendly' talk. Yet the thinly veiled threats Victor had made shouldn't have been enough to get the teacher looking into Dr.Two-Brains. There was also the fact that Henry had no idea that Victor could find out who was hacking. Perhaps the man was intelligent enough to have the heat on someone else just in case they were found out, but he didn't seem like the type to do so. Especially to someone he had entrusted The Society to. Victor was going to have to get a few agents to take a little trip to check out why they decided to hack like they did. Maybe Robert Lanyon had someone to do with Miss Itos hacking. It would be expected when the man's father had been murdered. Perhaps he wanted to make sure that Henry was safe. Maybe this man was protecting Henry from someone who was threatening him. This could've had the culprit retaliate against the doctor by going after Henry or Robert could be responsible for his own father's murder and for Mr. Carew's attempted murder. The reason both Mr. Hyde and Henry left could be because Robert was threatening one and framing the other. Victor felt a headache coming on. For now, he was going to find out exactly where Robert was. If he wanted to take over The Society, he would've easily done so. Yet he didn't, instead only oversaw important business. He couldn't scratch any of his theories out just yet. He didn't know what was going on, but he was going to find out. He didn't realize that Eris had finally gotten home. He didn't notice the sound of the apartment door opening and closing. “Victor, are you okay? You look like you're stressed about something.” He expressed his concern, brows furrowed. “Eris! I'm fine. I was just overthinking some things.” Eris went over to Victor and placed a kiss on his temple. “Get some rest, my sweet. You'll be able to figure things out better with fresh eyes.” Victor smiled at his boyfriend. “You're right. I'll take a nap. If you'll join me.” Eris smiled at that. He found Victor endearing. The toymaker closed his laptop. Meanwhile in another part of the city, two people were arguing. “Must you stalk these people? I would rather not have the police sniffing around if they take legal action.” The woman shook her head. “It is necessary. I must save that girl from that horrid man. Who knows what he could do to them. I'm doing what is right.” The blond man shook his head. “You admitted that you were interested in our plan.” Calvin frowned at that. “I didn't do anything too crazy. I promise.” Athena muttered under her breath. Athena began to pace a bit. She wanted Dr.Two-Brains to break and admit who he is. “You're making me dizzy, cousin.”

Athena gave a weak glare towards Calvin's rudeness. "You know I can't help it. I haven't been the same after what that demon did to me!" Athena snapped back. Calvin merely huffed. Deep down, he couldn't help but feel some intimidation from the mouse man, especially when he knew what that abomination was capable of. At first, Calvin was shocked to hear what the man did to his cousin. He had always viewed Steven, or Gene, or whatever it called himself, as a sniveling worm with goody moral ethics. He never thought that the man was capable of doing something that heinous, even with his paternal instincts heightened. Things made much more sense to Calvin once he learned of his former coworker's family background. "Very well. Continue with your plans. I have other matters to attend to." Calvin exclaimed in a haughty tone, waving off Athena's anger. Athena gave him a suspicious look. "What are you planning that is more important than my mission?" She inquired. "Well why you have been playing vigilante stalker to a babysitter and her charge, I have been looking into the reason for the Mad Science League's sudden movement here." Calvin explained. Athena looked surprised at that. "Adrian Barton is here?" The B.E.A.W labs' leader has expressed interest in the mysterious Mad Science League. A small group of scientists lead by a self proclaimed immortal man whose made it his mission to fight against tyranny and corruption of the higher classes. Adrian Barton and his associates had proven too slippery for capture due to the man's chaotic and unpredictable movements. Athena was curious and confused as to why he came here of all places. "We don't know why he is here or what business he has, but for some reason he has made himself more open in public though he has maintained a cautious guard. I last saw him talking with Professor Doohickey, though I highly doubt the reason he came to this city was to help the man's predicament." Calvin answered as if he seemed to understand what his cousin was thinking. "Do you think it has something to do with the murder of Mr. Hastie Lanyon?" Athena asked as she recalled hearing about the murder. Calvin shook his head. "I doubt Barton was behind that. He has a clear hatred for the rich and elite, but he would have been more subtle in killing that man, actually making it look like a robbery in progress that went bad. There is another reason why Mr. Barton is here. One in which I intend to find out. So hopefully your antics won't interfere in my mission. Good day Athena." Soon Calvin walked away, leaving the deranged woman to her own thoughts and delusions. "Blimey! Those cleaners know how to clean out goop stains. It looks brand new." Hyde exclaimed in a joyous tone once he received his outfit from Rachel. "Yep. It appears people getting their clothes ruined by goop is a common occurrence around here. So they developed a new way to remove the stains and residue even thought it takes a lot of time. It's definitely well worth it. I must say." Rachel replied with agreement. Hyde ginned widely at his clean outfit. He then looked back towards Rachel. "So, anything happened while ah was gone?" Hyde inquired. Rachel quickly shook her head. "Not really. Like I said, we waited a long time at the cleaners. Also Wordgirl showed up trying to stop a robbery caused by Lady Redundant Woman. She gave a wave to Amber before she flew off. Amber got a little fussy on the way home, but it was likely due to us being out for so long. She's fine now." Rachel explained. Hyde nodded but the usually grinning blonde had a serious expression as he thought back to what happened and what Whiskers admitted to him. "Did Wordgirl seem okay to ye?" Hyde inquired. Rachel looked confused by his question and expression. "She seemed alright to me. Why do you ask?" Rachel was surprised to hear Hyde express genuine concern for anyone that wasn't Amber, herself, or one of the lodgers. Hyde let out a sigh and proceeded to explain what happened today with Two Brains and his sister. @unhingedexperimenter

CHILDHOOD/LATE TEENS WITH @epiitaphs

[uncanniicrow]

The bachelor’s Reaction to the New Farmer

Alex doesn’t really feel one way or another about you. It isn’t often that the town gets new members, but he also is very aware that this small town vibe is far from an ideal life for most. He expects that you’ll last a month or two and be gone- But you’re pretty cute, so if you did wind up staying he might invite you down to the beach. Not that you’re that interesting or anything.

Elliot is delighted. A new face in town means new possibilities! Will you bring the town prosperity? Will you flounder to find your place and wind up returning home? His writer-brain wants to follow your story closely. The fact that you’re rather attractive doesn’t help his curiosity either- “Did you want to grab a drink at the saloon some time? My treat.”

While you two sat and talked he asked questions about the farm, and your old life, and you.

It took him very little time to see that no- there was no returning home. This was it- this was your home now.

Harvey is simultaneously tickled and worried. You strolled into town, knees of your overalls ripped and hair a mess, and then proceeded to wind up in his care almost every night for the first few months. 

“Stayed up too late,” You told him, humming and wiping at your dirty hands with a wet rag. 

“Got lost in the mines and slimes attacked.” 

“Forgot which mushroom was edible.” Soon Harvey finds himself expecting you more often than not, sighing in a fond sort of way when someone drags you into his clinic or you come limping along. 

“We’ve gotta stop meeting like this,” he tells you with a hint of playfulness. When you smile it’s contagious.

Sam believes in possibilities. In each day being a chance to grab life by the balls and really make things happen. So it’s no surprise when he decides that you, too, are a possibility. He’s already tried to shoot his shot with most of the girls in town- maybe some guys, too- so it isn’t really a surprise to anyone when you come to town and he immediately tries his latest pick up line.

“I might be a farmer, too, cus my love for you’s been growing!” "Are you a hoe? Cus you're awfully dirty."

You snorted out a laugh at the second one, and the sound was beautiful.

Sebastian isn't fazed by much. Not Demterius, not his mom's angry face, and certainly not you. People came to Pelican town all the time and left because it wasn't what they had envisioned a small town life being. And you? You were gonna be gone in a week. Two weeks later he saw you crawl out of the mines from across the pond. Three weeks and he was seeing you in his mother's shop. Four and he knew your name. Five, you gave him a gift. Six- he smiled when you came around the shop.

Shane was irritable, and you had heard that this was usual. He greeted you with a dull, "Who the hell are you?" And followed it with, "I don't care."

"Not a morning-" you looked at the sun in the sky. "Er...Afternoon person?"

"Hardly a person at all," he snapped, pushing past you in the bar.

"I'm the new farmer," you introduced yourself. "You must be Shane."

"You must be deaf, go away."

"Nope, not deaf, just persistent."

Shane groaned and grabbed his drink from the bar.

"Why me? Go bother Alex or something."

"But I wanted to talk to you. Marnie says you're a wiz with chickens and I was thinking about taking some on--" Shane's vision suddenly seemed brighter around you and he wondered if this was love at first sight.

Part Three of the Meet Me at Sunrise series

Previous Chapter: Return to Me

Next Chapter: Safeguard

Pairing: Marcus Pike x FBI Agent!Reader

Words: 1.3k

Warnings: None

Summary: Returning undercover, You and Marcus attend a charity gala to get an introduction to the forger.

You sat between Agents Regina Price and Maddox Collins on a slightly too small brown couch in Marcus' office as he briefed the three of you. You had received a call from a woman named Alexandria who you had met undercover inviting you and your 'husband' to a formal charity art auction. Recent intel suggested that the forger the four of you had been hunting would be attending and you were pushing for an introduction. Christian Laurent was a clever man, a talented forger who posed as a private seller targeting rich art connoisseurs. He sold his forgeries at extravagant prices to the unsuspecting victims. If you and Marcus could secure a meeting and 'buy' one of his paintings, you could finally arrest him.

“The two of us will leave for New York tonight. Price, Collins, you'll head up in two days. Hopefully, we'll have the buy set up by then. You'll provide support outside the buy.” Marcus paused, rubbing his beard. “Everyone please be vigilant. Laurent and his crew are dangerous. Unless anyone has questions that's all I've got for us.”

“I got the keys to the apartment I used back from White Collar Crimes. It's not too far from the gallery that's holding the gala. I just need to stop by my apartment to grab my stuff on our way out of town and I'm set.” you said as Price and Collins muttered their goodbyes and headed back to their desks, leaning back on the couch giving a small stretch. You couldn't help but give a sly smile as you watched Marcus look around, checking the coast was clear.

“I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to seeing you dressed up tomorrow night.” Marcus said softly, his cheeks reddening slightly much to your amusement.

“Well, I do aim to please,” you replied with an impish grin. “I also grabbed these... I had to guess on the size.” In your hand you held out a pair of platinum bands, simple but sleek. Not that he would have said it, but Marcus had been eagerly anticipating this, the idea of being your husband, if only for the evening, made his heart soar. He took the larger band from your hand and slipped it on his finger.

“Til death do us part.” Marcus said with a chuckle.

“Let's hope it doesn't come to that, my darling husband.” you replied with a laugh slipping the remaining ring on your finger.

----------

The next evening you found yourself back in the gorgeous studio apartment you had called home for six weeks in Manhattan. Standing in the bathroom you adjusted the gown you had chosen for the evening, a long-sleeved blue number with a keyhole back along with a slit up your right thigh. The neckline that extended past your breasts gave quite a striking impact and you were privately thankful that the rest of the team didn't arrive until tomorrow morning, so you were spared their prying eyes. Marcus called your name from the living room and with a final look in the mirror you stepped into the living room.

Your mouth went dry and it took effort to stop your mouth from falling open. Marcus stood in the living room in a nicely fitted black suit, he had opted for a black button down without a tie and the top button undone. You felt a small heat in your stomach as you took him in. You hadn't seen him in formal wear before, and boy did it suit him. It took you a moment to realize he had quite a dumbfounded look on his face as he watched you and it made you smile.

“You approve?” you said, arching an eyebrow and giving a small spin.

“That would be an understatement,” Marcus said closing the distance between you two. Snaking an arm around your waist he pulled you close to his chest taking your lips in a kiss. Arching into his touch you nipped lightly at his bottom lip, you felt like a woman starved for his touch. Marcus peppered your jaw line with kisses and you let out a soft sigh as he pressed one last kiss to your neck.

“We should probably get going” you said reluctantly but couldn't help but let out a small laugh as you looked at Marcus. A hint of your red lipstick was smeared across his lips.

“What?” He said with a puzzled smile. You pointed to your lips and watched as he scrubbed the lipstick off his own. Snatching your gun off the end table you slid it into a thigh holster hidden by your dress, Marcus watching intently with a look of lust in his warm brown eyes.

“Ready for a night on the town?” Sliding your hand into Marcus' you couldn't help but see the wedding band on his finger, the fantasy of him being yours forever was something you didn't think you would shake for quite a while.

----------

“Daniela! Darling, you made it! Is this the lovely gentleman you've been telling me about?” You turned at the call of your cover name. Alexandria made her way to you and Marcus looking quite stunning in a slinky black dress with her fiery red hair in loose curls around her shoulders.

“Alex! Yes! This is my husband. I finally managed to pull him away from the office for a night out.” You said tucking yourself into Marcus' side resting your left hand on his chest, wedding band catching the light.

“Sebastian Ramos, it's a pleasure to meet you. Daniela has been raving about your ability to track down the hard-to-find paintings we've been looking to collect.” Marcus said, his arm wrapping loosely around your waist. “You've put together a wonderful event.”

“You're too kind Mr. Ramos. I did manage to find that abstract painting Daniela was looking for,” Alexandria replied with a small swell of pride “The art dealer for that particular piece should be here tonight.” She peered at the crowd trying to spot him.

“That's wonderful news, I'd love an introduction if it wouldn't be too much of an inconvenience. If I let that piece slip through my fingers the missus will never forgive me.” Marcus replied as you playfully swatted his chest.

“Absolutely, why don't the pair of you enjoy a drink while I try to track him down? Enjoy yourselves, I'll return shortly.” And just like that Alexandria disappeared into the crowd, a blur of red hair as she snaked her way through.

“Let's find somewhere we can talk.” Marcus said softly against your ear, his hand moving to the small of your back as he steered you to a corner of the room that was free of people. You were hyper aware of the warmth of his hand against the bare skin of your back.

“I can't help but feel guilty...” You admitted softly to Marcus “Alexandria is so earnest; it feels wrong to use her like this. I don't think she has a clue about who Laurent really is.”

“I know, but it's safer for her to not realize what he really is until we have him in custody.” He commiserated pulling you into his arms and pressing a kiss to your forehead. “But we are so close to the end and it's thanks to your leg work,” pride evident in his voice, making you smile.

“Well at least there has been a lovely bonus from all of this. I don't have to worry about someone seeing me do this.” Standing on your tip toes you captured his lips in a lingering kiss, until you heard someone calling for the pair of you.

“Mr. and Mrs. Ramos, I'd like to introduce you to Christian Laurent.”

Hello! I just discovered your page but I already love 🥺 for my ask, what do you think the bachelor(ettes) were like in their childhood and home life?

Hi !! Thanks for the ask :)) this is a bit of a long post sorry !!

My take on bachelor(ettes) as kiddos!

Alex

Alex was the definition of ADHD when he was a child. Always bouncing all over the place, hands always fidgeting with something or tossing a ball around with his dog at the time. He made the best out of the situation with his dad and tried to be there for his mom as much as possible, even when she was sick. He was a very sweet kid, the one that people would compliment for his good behavior. Unfortunately he didn’t get the best grades, but some tutoring from Penny helped him out greatly.

Elliott

I think Elliott grew up poor, with both of his parents working constantly. He had a few siblings that took care of him, but none of them harbored the same creative energy as he did. As he grew up, he tried to get them to enjoy things like reading or writing as much as him, but they never clicked. Elliott felt very alone growing up, which only continued into adulthood, until he moved to the valley.

Harvey

Harvey was such a nerd!!! And he still is!! If he weren’t such a Big Boy as a child (I swear he was like, 5’8 but the time he was 12) he would’ve been bullied a lot more. Harvey was incredibly smart and won all sorts of awards for it in school. He was very close to his parents, especially his dad. He had a few friends in school, mostly the other nerds. Harvey was reluctant to move away from home, but knew he had to so he could become a successful doctor.

Sam

Sam was just like Vincent when he was a kid. He was hyper and didn’t pay very close attention in school, but was insanely creative. The only difference was that Kent was still there. After Jodi had Vincent, it lead to her arguing with Kent and trying to get him to stay home. Sam spent a lot of time with the kid, keeping him distracted from the fighting. After his dad left, Sam was angry and distant for a while before he learned to accept it. He wanted to be happy for his little brother and show him that he can still be happy, even though their dad isn’t here.

Seb

Sebastian used to be rather extroverted as a kid, believe it or not. He and his parents lived in the city, in an apartment with a great view. His happy life fell apart when he was six. His parents went through a nasty divorce for reasons he was never sure of. He begged his mom to stay with his dad, but she moved them away to the valley with her new boyfriend. Seb hated Demetrius, but Robin stayed with him. They eventually got married and had a kid together. Seb became very withdrawn from everyone, until he met Sam. He misses his dad terribly, still not knowing why they separated since Robin refuses to talk about it. As for Maru, he never tried to get along with her, seeing as she was living proof that his dad doesn’t want to be with him anymore.

Shane

Shane had a not-so-great childhood. He was always quiet, never opening his mouth unless it was necessary. Somehow, he still got into trouble a lot, though it was always stupid reasons. His parents were divorced so he bounced back and forth between their houses, but they both moved constantly, like they were trying to get further and further away from each other. Shane eventually started to stay with his mother full time, since he preferred her over his dad. He moved away as soon as possible, living with two of his friends, the parents of Jas. He was still quiet, but now he was bitter and found it difficult to trust people.

Abby

Abigail was definitely a teacher’s pet in school. She was very well behaved and was always the top of her class. At home, she was very close to both of her parents, something that changed as she grew up. She started to become more rebellious once she realized how ridiculous her parent’s rules were, especially Pierre’s. Abigail dyed her hair purple without their permission to show that she was her own person now. Sam and Sebastian definitely encouraged it, egging her on to do more than just dyeing it.

Emily

Emily was a very outgoing person as a kid. She still is now, but you know what I mean. She was a bookworm and was so social, always involving everyone at school.l, even the introverted kids. Emily and Haley stayed with an their grandmother while their parents traveled halfway across the country. They visited every few months, but they were practically raised by their grandmother. She tried to involve Haley in her creative activities, but the only thing she picked up was photography, the only thing that Emily was bad at. So it worked out!

Haley

In her younger days, Haley was quiet, rarely saying a word to anyone that wasn’t family. She trailed behind Emily and followed her like a lost puppy at school. She didn’t have any friends for years, finding it hard to interact with others. Haley didn’t think there was anything she was good at, so it was hard to make friends. The first person she was ever friends with that wasn’t family was Alex, who brought her out of her shell. She became more extroverted and picked up more hobbies, like photography, something Emily taught her about.

Leah

Leah and her family are from the city, in one of the most urban areas. She never really liked where they live. Everyone in the city was loud and rude, but her parents didn’t seem to care very much. Ever since she was a kid, she’s wanted to move away, take a break from the city life. As for her performance in school, Leah did her best, but she struggled with classes like math and science. She did average, but that was fine with her.

Maru

As a child, Maru constantly tried to get closer to her brother. She thought the world of him, but he hated her. Her mother always said he would come around eventually, but he never did. Eventually, Maru stopped trying and focused on her studies. She excelled in everything. She was the top of her classes and liked to volunteer at the library sometimes. Sebastian avoided her in school and got mad whenever she tried to talk to him or his few friends. Still, she tried to ignore it, focusing on herself and the family members that wanted to see her.

Penny

Penny’s parents were close at some point. When Pam wasn’t drunk, she was fun to be around. Her father was a brilliant man, teaching her everything he knows about the world and filling her with curiosity. As Pam’s alcoholism got worse, Penny’s father left. Penny reclused further, relying on books to warrant off any feelings of sadness. Her first friend in the valley was Maru. The two of them bonded over feeling lonely. They became friends during their middle school years and have been besties since!

Jonathan and the boys II

Jonathan and the boys part II

AN: Here is part two of the mini series, im not sure how many more parts there will be so I am just writing until I wanna do the big reveal.

Sebastian knew the routine when Johnathan was away for the season, he was the man of the house and would boss Leo and Alex around more than usual. It would make you laugh at times but then again, it would help you out because things were getting hectic because of the pregnancy. Such as one morning as the boys were getting ready for school, Leo was taking too long in the bathroom and Alex need to get ready. One thing led to another and yelling occurred. You and Seb were down in the kitchen getting ready for breakfast. You weren’t in the mood to breakup the fight cause this was the early stage of the pregnancy but Sebastian went up and stopped the fighting.

The house you lived at was getting cramped, you needed more space for the new addition of the family. You didn’t want to let Leo and Alex room together because you knew that would make things more intense. Seb made it clear to you and Jonathan that he didn’t want to share a room either. Jonathan mentioned that he would hire a realtor to get the process started. Jonathan was really supportive of the moving house. He would send you houses while he was on the plane from game to game. Facetime each other on what you liked on one house and what you didn’t like either. He was also very helpful on making sure the boys wouldn’t be fighting while you weren’t feeling well. One day he took the boys out to get you some gifts while you stayed home. Him and the boys all got you flowers, each of them got you different flowers and wrote you a card. That night the boys and him even made you dinner which made you even more happy because tomorrow was the day you were going to find out if it will be a boy or a girl.

Jonathan was going to go with you the doctors appointment to see the gender of the baby. Once you got the appointment, everything went well. The baby was healthy and everything seemed to be good. Hearing those heartbeats again made things more emotional because this was the last baby but also it was something the two of you created out of love again. Jonathan couldn’t help but cry because this was something the two of you got to share in private before letting the world know what was happening. You haven’t told anyone not even your family or his. It was yall’s little family secret between the two of you and the boys. Once you two left the appointment with the envelope in hand of what the baby will be. It came down to on how to tell everyone.

You and Jonathan had both of yall’s family come up to the house and announce the pregnancy. It was a crisp fall afternoon when the news was going to be told. It was a little different from the other announcements but you and Jonathan and the boys played it cool.

You even made little message board that said “And then there was six, due 2021” with a picture of the sonogram underneath the words. This was displayed in the kitchen so everyone could see it. Finally, Jonathan asked everyone to come to the kitchen and noticed anything different about the kitchen. Some of the family members thought you painted the kitchen and some thought you guys you got new cabinets. It was getting sort of funny but eventually the boys kept messing around with the sign board and picture until the board dropped on the ground and broke. That caused everyone to look at the ground and see what broke, then finally they put two and two together. Jonathan’s mom picked up the picture and was crying tears of joy. Then your mom was hugging you along with your sisters. Everyone was so happy and curious if the baby is going to be a girl or a boy. The both of you responded back saying you didn’t want to know because the last gender reveal was going be something bigger and would want to involve the families and possibly the Blackhawks fans too.

The next couple of days everyone started going and telling the news the captains new baby coming soon. Everyone on the team was congratulating him, Marc- Andre was talking to him asking him if he was nervous about starting over again. Jonathan was nervous or anything, he felt comfortable because this wasn’t first time he was going to have a newborn baby. He even let the media know he was expecting another baby and the whole hockey world was happy for him. Hockey players from around the league were wishing him congratulations as well as fans too. Everything was falling into the right place, knowing what the baby will be and the start of hockey season coming and even finding the right home. This wasn’t going to be easy or relaxing. The whole family was going to have to be ready for things to get crazy very fast.
