Here's our October recs ❤️ also, look at our new banner !! 🥰 Happy reading !! I’m just too soft for all of it by @bellamysgriffinprincess (book/movie-verse)

@dot524: This is a sweet one shot where Henry is struggling with depression, Alex drops everything to be with him, and they comfort each other. Very well done.

Confidential Memorandum by @sherryvalli (book-verse)

@wilmonsfolklore: this is such a sweet kidfic. Henry is Alex's boss, and Alex keeps getting calls from Henry's daughter when Henry is busy. It's heartwarming and comforting and the dialogue is wonderfully written, especially their love confessions.

@babiemonk: the perfect lighthearted kidfic! The child dynamic is perfect and the humor is spot-on. If you’re looking for a fun, feel good, story with some domestic fluffiness this is it.

@rmd-writes: a sweet, funny fic with excellent banter, and a stellar supporting cast of OCs. It quite literally made my face do this: 🥰 I saved it with the note "read when you need to feel better about the universe).

Aged Like a Fine Wine by @three-drink-amy (book-verse)

@babiemonk: Alex and Henry are older now and cakegate never happened. There’s lots of emotions and angst and growth and it’s really quite beautiful but also tragic at times. It hurt my heart and my feelings before putting them back together again.

In my dreams (In your dreams) by @lizzie-bennetdarcy (book-verse)

@babiemonk: very cute drunken love confessions— absolutely precious friends to lovers

all of our love filling all of our room by @kill8a (book-verse)

@inexplicablymine: this is so incredibly soft and childhood friends to lovers I have reread this more times than I’m willing to admit

Help Me Hold On To You by @affectionatelyrs (book-verse)

@read-and-write-: A one- shot, a very cathartic one about the aftermath of a fight between Alex and Henry. This is one to cry from beginning to end, it's beautifully written and you will be left speechless.

flatline by rizcriz (book-verse)

@wilmonsfolklore: exes to lovers is one of my favourite tropes and this work shows perfectly how naturally and fully Henry and Alex love each other. it's sad and heartbreaking but it has a happy ending that makes the crying all worth it.

What I Need Tonight by @sparklepocalypse (book-verse)

@zwiazdziarka: This fic was written for Kinktober's prompt "selfcest", which for some might be sound a little too weird, but that's exactly why I picked this one as my monthly fave. If you like reading smut, give this a chance. Yes, it's hot but also emotional and it has Oxford-time slutty Henry!

heartbeats under coats by @hypnostheory (book-verse)

@heybuddy-drabbles: one of my favorite works to come out of FirstPrince week. It's really sweet and sexy. There was only one bed at its finest.

All Booked Up by @three-drink-amy (book-verse)

@heybuddy-drabbles: another FirstPrince week gem. This was just so beautiful. Alex and Henry meet during a vacation, spend three perfect days together and then loose contact until June and Nora force Alex to read a book they both love and something about it makes Alex think of Henry. I absolutely fell in love with it.

@rmd-writes: it's no secret that I'm an allmylovesatonce fan and this is one of my ultimate favourites of hers. A very cleverly told love story, with some wonderful June and Nora content as a bonus!

praying our bridges don’t make waves by @anincompletelist (book-verse)

@rhubarb1210: This fic is such a cool take on soulmates. Henry agrees to pretend to be Alex’s soulmate to get June health insurance. Lots of universe building. And I can’t give away more! Inspired by Fractured by @clottedcreamfudge

everything's growing in our garden by matherine (book-verse with a few movie elements)

@indomitable-love: Absolutely loved this hanahaki fic – the pacing and tension are so good, the relevance of all the different flowers is just beautiful

It's Nice to Have a Friend by @mainstreamelectricalparade (book-verse)

@read-and-write-: Childhood Best Friends to lovers AU, where Henry, the prince of england meets another boy during a holiday, they send each other letters and they fall in love, it's soft and it's beautiful, a love that tascends the page and is reflected on all the characters actions.

I feel the beating of your heart, I see the shadows on your face by @anincompletelist (book-verse)

@daisymae-12: This fic has such an interesting premise, and although I’ve never been into the bodyswap trope I’m so glad I gave this one a chance. It was done so incredibly well and was such a fun, wholesome fic.

Henry Fox, All-American Hero by @tintagel-or-cockleshells (book-verse)

@daisymae-12: This is a fic inspired by Meg Cabot’s All American Girl (which I am a huge fan of) and everything about this fic had me screaming in delight. Loved this so much, I’m obsessed.

maybe take me into your room by @smc-27 (book-verse)

@thesleepyskipper: Alex and Henry are both the children of ambassadors to Canada from their respective countries in this lovely AU. Friends-to-lovers perfection, this was so, so good.

a degree of fate by @softlofty (book/movie-verse)

@dot524: In this AU, Alex and Henry meet as university students. This is a sweet get-together fic with depth and heart.

It's Tradition by @f-ing-ruthless-baz (book-verse)

@zwiazdziarka: Alex and Henry's soulmate bond revealed itself publicly and now they have to act like they're in love, even though they hate each other. This fic is such an excellent use of soulmate trope and looks into so many possiblities in a world were soulmate bonds exsist. It's also super funny, a little angsty and Alex is even more oblivious than usually.

I’d be smart to walk away (but you’re quicksand) by @littlemisskittentoes (book/movie-verse)

@dot524: Such a wonderful, heartfelt 5+1 based on canon events when Henry walked away and one where he stayed.

Catalyst of Change by @uglygreenjacket (book-verse)

@myheartalivewrites: an AU that’s pretty close to canon in some ways: Alex (still a well known child of politicians) and Henry (still a prince) meet as students in Edinburgh. This story is sweet and gentle and heart wrenching at points, but also incredibly uplifting in Henry and Alex’s determination to be together no matter the obstacles. And the Scottish setting is gorgeous and really evocative.

Ghosted by @tintagel-or-cockleshells (book-verse)

@suseagull04: Twists and turns abound in this story that borders the line between life and death. I love the depth of the plot and just how deeply and quickly Alex and Henry fall for each other- and the fantasy aspect immediately put this high on my list of faves! Not to mention all the great references to my favorite things throughout the fic. This fic is amazing!

Such a Burden, This Flame on My Chest by @three-drink-amy (book-verse)

@heybuddy-drabbles: a 911 Lone Star!AU very angsty but with a happy ending. Alex going through grief felt really fucking relatable. It's also spicy in contrast with the angst.

But I love him, whether or no. by @leaves-of-laurelin (book-verse)

@dot524: This firefighter AU is one of my favorite RWRB fics ever, and I’m glad I was able to follow it from WIP status to complete this month. Alex as a firefighter is irresistible (Henry thinks so too) and somehow these two feel so true to character even in a completely different context. There are so many fun scenes here - riding a bull, an airport scene, shenanigans at a fire station, sentimental piano playing - but none of them are forced. Truly a wonderful fic that I know I’ll be returning to again and again.

@wilmonsfolklore: seconding this one so so so much!! read it in one sitting and have been thinking about it ever since then. there are so many heartfelt and sweet conversations in it. everyone's so true to their character in such a different situation. can not recommend it enough

[spacesapphi]

MOREEEE HES TRIO HEADCANONS

There's some. There's some sad ones in here, sorry. Warnings for mentions of death, neglect, and bullying

HCs below the cut

Elliott

- LOVES cats sm, has a little tabby named Mr. Darcy who he adores more than anything. Sometimes it'll knock over his inkwells or bat at his quills but he doesn't seem to mind

- He's the youngest of five kids and kind of the black sheep of the family. Rarely got attention besides teasing over his interests growing up, and used books to cope with it

- Doesn't really make eye contact, it makes him really nervous

- he actually briefly knew Harvey as a child and they were each other's only friend. Harvey moved away about 3 years after they met and they finally reunited in Pelican Town

- He can draw, but writing is much preferred

- Wrote letters to Harvey after he moved. When he was in highschool his dad got to the mail before him, read a new letter, and forbid him from communicating with Harvey again with no explanation. Elliott was devastated

- Went to college for writing and literature! He was able to publish his first book because he got a very good letter of recommendation from his professors for his work. The money he earned from it helped him get out of his town and away from his family

- Pelican Town has made him feel the most peaceful he's ever felt in his life. The cabin gets lonely, but he's happy and he cant imagine himself anywhere else

Harvey

- His dad was a military medic and unfortunately died while stationed when Harvey was a baby. His grandpa moved in to help raise him, and as mentioned in the previous HCs, was responsible for his interest in being a pilot

- He likes wearing headphones in public to block out loud noises, but gets too shy to do so often because he thinks it'll draw attention to him

- had a secret clubhouse he and Elliott used as a kid (literally just an abandoned garage where they kept a bunch of their stuff) but it meant a lot to them. It was a place to get away from the bullying they faced

- was incredibly short all his life until he got a crazy growth spurt in highschool and wound up being 6'2

- says shit like "good golly!" And "cheese and crackers!"

- he's a nerd, this man does not take his whiskey neat and bed at 3

- HES THE ONE THATS TOO SWEET

- Wrote letters to Elliott a lot after he moved. They stopped when the two of them were in highschool. Harvey sent a letter confessing he had a crush and never got one back, so he thought he did something wrong until he met Elliott again

- his mother is a huge ally and comforted him a lot after that incident. She loves her son so much :(

- He has really bad asthma

Shane

- much of what Jas has is a hand-me-down she got from Shane. All the toys, clothes, and stuff like that are from his childhood before he came out. They're a bit outdated, but Shane and Marnie can't always afford brand new things for her

- He went to college on a gridball scholarship, but studied in Visual Arts. The camera he has in his 7.5 heart event is one he used to make short films for classes.

- Came out to Marnie as trans at 12 and was terrified to do so. She was really accepting and sweet though! He let her be a big part of the new name process too :)

- Jas's parents were also in those classes and the three of them often worked on projects together. It's how they became best friends! He still has all the reels of little films they made, and watches some of them with Jas when they're really missing her parents

- Clint has a one-sided beef with him since Shane is Emily's best friend and ex. He views him as competition for some reason and acts weird about it. Shane has absolutely no clue why and just thinks he's weird

- He got really good at styling hair after he took in Jas. She likes just having her hair in two pigtails mostly but he can do some fun styles!

- Has a lot of health issues post recovery because of how heavy his drinking was. He's sick fairly often and it's frustrating for him

- Driving and being in a car makes him anxious, he prefers to either walk or bike if he can help it

- Let's his hair start growing out after he starts recovery. He gets it to a nice medium length. Tried to go for a mullet but Emily begged him to cut it 😭

- He does NOT like Lewis at all because of how he treats Marnie and he has to restrain himself to act civil, for his his aunts sake

[cosmic--dandelion]

Something I think a lot of people forget about Stolas and Blitzø is how much "Ozzies" changes their dynamic.

Before that, they're a patron and a client. Stolas might indulge in some not strictly sexual damsel-in-distress fantasies, and Blitzø might occasionally match Stolas's absurdly horny energy, and there's s few hints at affection here and there, but at the end of the day, Blitzø wants the book and Stolas wants to be the sub in a bdsm relationship, and that's that.

Their "date" at Ozzies turned their entire affair on its head. Stolas is alone and miserable at his huge empty mansion; Octavia is his only emotional outlet, and Stella's whisked her off somewhere.

He has no friends, no family who actually care about him aside from his daughter, and he's not even close to his servants like he was as a child. Stolas is desperate for any positive social interaction. Then Blitzø calls out of nowhere, asking him on a date. Stolas literally chokes on his Lucky Charms he'd so desperate to get to the phone.

Stolas is in full infatuation mode. This is probably his first real date in his entire life. He was forced into an arranged marriage with a cold, hateful woman and became a father against his will when he was around 19 at most. So he shows up dressed like he's about to be crowned Emperor of the Universe and even bows to Blitzø. Again, just like in "Loo Loo Land," he'd completely oblivious to how obviously unenthusiastic, distracted, and borderline uncomfortable Blitzø is.

Blitzø is legitimately taken aback when Stolas starts trying to make conversation and shows interest in his personal life beyond the carnal. This isn't some sort of machiavellian scheme on Stolas's part. He's being completely sincere. But he's ultimately still projecting his fantasies onto Blitzø instead of actually engaging with him, only this time they're romantic instead of sensual.

Shit goes down, and goes down HARD. Not only does Stolas hide his face in shame when Asmodeus publicly exposes their affair, Blitzø gets it rubbed in *his* face that their "arrangement" destroyed Stolas's reputation and family and is even starting to turn his own daughter against him.

Stolas tries to salvage the evening, but it's way too late.

"Stolas, don't act like what we have is anything but you wanting me to fuck you. You make that very clear all the time. Buf I just can't tonight. I'm sorry."

This is single-handedly one of the best call outs in the entire series, and HOLY SHIT does it hit home. It throws Stolas into a complete tailspin, and he probably came close to drinking himself to death that night. It's what he always does, burying himself headlong into whatever he thinks will bring him temporary happiness until whoever he's dragged along with him practically has to scream in his face.

It's telling that the very first thing he does is scroll through his phone to reassure himself that he and Blitzø have something more, only to see that Blitzø doesn't look happy in any of his photos, and he was deluding himself the whole time. Ouch. A well-deserved ouch, but an ouch nevertheless.

I think this is where Stolas actually starts to develop feelings for Blitzø, or at least realizes he has them.

Before this, their affair was more of a distraction and an outlet for his pent-up sexual frustration. Stolas went from being so emotionally and physically repulsed by his own wife he had to dissociate when Octavia was conceived to jumping right into a hardcore bdsm contract with a near complete stranger. It's incredibly cathartic for him, but not necessarily good for his mental health. It leaves him deeply psychologically dependent on Blitzø but unable to put aside the kinky bedroom stuff for the basic emotional labor and personal growth a serious, long-term relationship needs to function. For now.

Stolas changes after this. Not all at once, but the lesson sank in. It sinks in even further in "Western Energy". We see that Blitzø has been responding to his walls of text with one or two word replies and blows off his rather tepid apologies and attempts to be considerate. He doesn't visit him in the hospital, doesn't text him more than a half-hearted "git bevver swoon :(".

If Stella hadn't called off the hit, his last words would have been: "Blitzø will...[save me]", followed by a knife through the heart.

Stolas treats Blitzø VERY differently in season 2. While he'll still call him "Blitzy" on occasion, it's hard to imagine the Stolas in "Seeing Stars" or "Oops" calling him his "impish little plaything" or pinching his cheek or embarassing him in public. Stolas is trying so hard not to step on Blitzø's boundaries ar this point that it actually seems to annoy Blitzø, who's so convinced that Stolas could never love him that he seems like he'd almost rather things stay as they were. For all his good intentions, Stolas hasn't given Blitzø any reason to trust or forgive him, at least not yet. Bur he's trying, and I think that's important.

In my opinion, whether you have faith in this relationship ultimately depends on if you think people can truly change.

Here’s a brain scratcher aniki, besides Kiryu and Kazuma-San what kind of parent would each of the main cast be. (Just the major players from the games IE protags and antags. You can include Ichiban’s party to!)

let's see...

Majima: good! but irresponsible parent. would spoil immensely, compensates for things he can't do or messes up. very open to whatever the kid wants/thinks but can be unintentionally harsh when scolding. promotes living to the fullest but will worry to the expense of his health when he can't be around to take care of things. will be overbearing with good intentions but suffocating.

Saejima: very nurturing and attentive but tough, a bit overbearing on the life lessons and shit like that. would leave a child to their own devices often to encourage individual growth and accepts failures well, very patient. would be hard to get a read on though normally, leaving a kid to guessing how he's feeling/doing, making his parenting feel a bit lonesome.

Nishiki: great with kids in a cool uncle sort of way. would be friends with his kids vs being their actual parent as he worries a lil too much about what they think of him. spoils them a lot, especially if it makes him look pretty great in front of others. doesn't handle problems very well and has only the basics of advice for a struggling child - would have to ask others what to do.

Ichiban: good parent but bumbling. would try his best to be a good dad but realistically good vibes and idealism isn't always enough. would rely on others for help with kids, especially if it's something he can't provide himself. would teach them to be kind and open minded, careful to not be too strict. would prolly relate the most to kids, being a child at heart himself though his personality would make it seem like he's not taking things seriously.

Ryuji: would raise a kid to be just like himself, brutish and confident. the type to be like, let's go to the junkyard and smash car windows for fun. values traits that align with his own like strength and a strong will - would be disappointed in anything he'd deem too whimsical. would think it's funny if his kid rebelled against them and teach them the hard way that it wouldn't fly but also encourage them to keep trying to be their own person anyway.

Daigo: would be a good parent to the best of his ability, compensating for his own experiences (Dojima lol). very patient and a good listener, excels at consoling to where his kid would feel very comfy telling him anything. can be a bit too soft and unintentionally ignorant to underlying problems a child might have. a child might feel guilty towards him for his kindness and oppositely *not* want to dump their worries on him. sometimes plays too much a teacher than a parent.

Mine: no lmao actual answer: he'd suck ass. he'd be a tiger parent, strict and cold. growing up is about accomplishment and being self sufficient. if a kid wants his time, better schedule an appointment. would teach a kid the harsh realities of life whilst ignoring the good stuff to temper expectations. punishments are often harsh. doesn't really relate to his kid other than they both breathe and blink.

Akiyama: do I even gotta say it ksdlagjlds he would be *squint* alright at parenting in the same way it's alright to drink bleach. he's there and he exists but is irresponsible. can't be counted on to make important dates on time or remember things a kid needs. frequently has to ask for help (Hana). will 100% give a child secondhand smoke and be skeazy about the types of life lessons he'd not necessarily teach outright but would imply with his behavior.

Tanimura: I don't got much of a read on him tbh but being that he's got a gambling problem, I feel like that would have some play in childcare lol, that being he's prolly a bit inattentive until it comes to money. he's a bit skeavy so he would prolly turn a blind eye to his kid doing something wrong and enforces rules poorly. would at least instill good teachings to help others, tho how, would be sketchy.

Shinada: he'd do pretty well I think if he had a stable living situation. he's very passionate about his interests and would share that with his kid, and if the kid wants to do their own thing, he'd encourage following that too. being goofy, he'd be a fun dad. I'm prolly the only motherfucker on earth who ships him with Milky-chan so I think they'd do really well as parents who come from rough lives trying to make a better one for their kid.

Sagawa: including him cuz he's my fav villain. he defo seems the type to have a kid somewhere with an estranged partner who left him first. he's caring, in a sinister type of way, one that makes you feel like you're being manipulated but not sure enough to say. "he knows what's best" and would for sure turn a child against his partner. in an alternate sense, he could also lead a double life, being an actual decent person to his family but a dickhead on the side. very psychopathic.

Benefits of Car Troubles| 6

Summary: Jules relapse causes unwanted stress for Leigh and Y/n worries for her and the baby. And Y/n gets an unexpected visitor.

A/N: If you think you've read chapter 6 for this story before... No you didn't because I just posted it. This is chapter 6. Enjoy!

Masterlist | All Stories Taglist | One Two Three Four Five

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thump, thump.

Thump, thump.

You smile as you hear the healthy heartbeat of the baby growing in Leigh’s womb from the speakers on the monitor. “I never get tired of hearing that,” you say as you hold Leigh's hand. The two of you are at another appointment to monitor the baby's growth and health. So far every appointment has gone smoothly and this one is no different. 

“I will say, in my thirty years as a doctor, I have never heard a stronger heartbeat than this one. The two of you should be proud,” the doctor says. And although you're sure she is just saying that to be nice, part of you wants to believe that your baby has the strongest heartbeat ever. 

“Thank you, doctor,” Leigh smiles as she sits up. “I have been under some stress lately and it relaxes me a bit to know that it's nothing he or she can't handle.” 

“Hold on now, stress is not good for either you or the baby. I highly recommend that, if you can of course, you remove yourself from any high stressors until after you give birth. Okay?” 

“Yes ma’am,” Leigh agrees as she wipes the gel off of her belly. 

“And you better help her,” the doctor says to you. 

“I will do my best, doc. Thank you,” you say as you help Leigh down from the observation bed. As you leave the office you can't help but be concerned about whatever is stressing Leigh out and be confused that she hasn't mentioned anything to you about it. “I didn't know that you were stressed out,” you start as you hold the passenger door open for her. 

Leigh sighs and waits for you to get inside of the car. “It’s silly stuff that's all,” she says and you tell her that nothing is silly if it's bothering her so much. “I'm just, I'm scared of being a terrible mother. And there are so many ways a baby could die. I'm just. It's overwhelming sometimes. Then there's my divorce, which isn't going well, at all! I still get sick at night or wake up with intense cravings that keep me up sometimes! And my mom and Jules are arguing again because Jules relapsed and we have no idea what set her off. We thought she was fine after her break up with Estelle! Not only has her drinking gotten out of hand but she comes home late at night and usually has company. If she's not keeping me up that way it's because she's stuck somewhere and needs me to pick her up and I'm just really tired and I-”

“Move in with me,” you interrupt her rant. 

“What?” She freezes at your statement. 

“Before you say no again, please really consider your health here. Leigh, you don't need the stress and you really need the rest. I'm not a terrible roommate and honestly, with you getting closer to your third trimester it'd make me feel more comfortable being near you at all times. I don't want to miss the birth of our child. And I'm even willing to get up in the middle of the night to cater to your cravings.” You try to sell the idea to Leigh. 

“I don't know,” she says as she considers the idea. “Your place is the perfect single person apartment, I don't know if it's big enough for the two of us.” Leigh rubs her belly as she continues to think. “Even if it does somehow fit us, there's no way it's meant for three and I definitely don't want to live somewhere that is so hazardous for the baby.” 

“I guess this is another one of those before pregnancy conversations huh?” You half heartedly joke about the situation. She shoots you a glare and you hold your hands up with an apology. “I just completely forgot about living situations during this whole thing. I never expected you to take care of the baby by yourself in your mother's house but I never thought about us living in my apartment together,” you admit as you try to think about something better. 

“It’s okay, I'm not exactly sure what I expected to happen either. But the idea of having my mom around to help me is very comforting and I'm not sure I can do this without her,” Leigh says. 

“I get that, but it sounds like she already has her hands full with your sister. Not to mention how unhelpful having her around would be. If you can't sleep because of Jules, I don't see how the baby will,” you point out.

“What do we do?” Leigh asks, unable to conjure a solution. 

You grab her hand and kiss her knuckles. “I don't know but we can think about it some more. We have time,” you promise her. She thanks you for trying to take care of her. “Let's get something to eat before I drop you off. Anything you've been craving today?” 

Leigh's eyes light up and you laugh as you start the car and get ready to take her to the fast food places that she wants to combine. 

Later that week, after some convincing, you spend the night at Leigh's house to see how bad the situation really is and wake up at three in the morning to her phone ringing. You answer it before she wakes up as well and feel frustrated when you can hardly hear Jules through the booming music. You take your phone from where it was charging and locate her from the tracking app that you and Leigh worked together on installing without her knowledge. 

You kiss Leigh’s temple as she snores softly in her sleep and leave a little note on her nightstand. You get in your car and drive an hour away to where Jules is. When you arrive, you are grumpy because by the time you get back, you have to go to work. You park and lock your car as you search for Jules in the sea of people having a good time at four in the morning. When you do find Jules it's because you hear chanting and you find her doing a keg stand. You help the two guys that were holding her upside down put her back on her feet and she is disappointed for a moment until she realizes that you're the one that put an end to her fun. 

She jumps you with a tight hug but you are in no mood to reciprocate. “Come on, I don't have a lot of time,” you say as you pick her up in a bridal style in order to keep her from running off. “Let’s get you home.”

“Thank you, Y/n,” she slurs as she nuzzles against your chest. “My mom or sister would have been so pissed but it wasn't my idea to come out here! I swear!”

You keep your mouth shut as you get her into the backseat. On the way back to Leigh's house, you have to stop by a coffee drive thru in order to continue driving safely. You offer to order for Jules but are only met with obnoxious snores and mumbles of sleep gibberish. You continue your drive listening to your playlist and when you get to Leigh's house the sun is starting to rise. 

You carry Jules all the way to her room and tuck her in before returning to Leigh's bedroom. You watch her sleep with a soft smile and write her another note before you leave for work.

While you work you and Teddy take turns looking through listings online in Leigh's neighborhood to see if there is anything available that Leigh might be okay with living in. So that she could have her mom close to her while allowing the two of you to have the space and privacy that you need. The two of you pick out three listings and you send the links to Leigh to get her opinion on them.

In the evening, while you're getting ready to go back to Leigh's house, there is a knock on your apartment door. You frown as you run through the list of people that could be at your door and brace yourself as you open the door. You relax slightly when you see your father. But only slightly. 

“Tell me why I had to hear it from someone else that you're having a baby,” he says as he steps past you. 

You clench your jaw as you curse to yourself, another thing that slipped through the cracks. “I’m sorry dad, it has been a rollercoaster. I meant to call I just… it's been really tough balancing my life and hers and it's a complicated-”

“I want to meet her,” he interrupts.

“What?” 

“She’s having my grandchild and I don't know her name. I don't even know what she looks like,” he makes valid points and the guilt starts to eat at you more. Before he decided to expand the business and open several more locations in order to make more profits, the two of you worked side by side. The two of you were close. He knew everything that there was to know about your life. Then he gave you control over this location and he put his focus on the expansion of the company. The two of you grew distant. Only ever talking about business. “How long have you been with this girl? Are you going to do the right thing and marry her? Are you ready for this kind of commitment?”

You sit down on the sofa as you try to hold yourself together. Lying to your father wasn't something that you knew how to do. But you knew that telling him the truth was going to lead to disappointment. You never wanted to disappoint your father. In the time that you were making the decisions that lead to Leigh becoming pregnant, you never ever thought you'd have to explain yourself to someone. Well, other than Teddy. You certainly didn't think you'd have to explain yourself to your father. It was never supposed to go this far. 

“I love her, dad,” you say after you tell him the complete story of how you and Leigh came to be. 

Your dad clenches his jaw as he processes. “I raised you better than to go after a kept woman.” 

“Really, dad, kept woman? That's not-”

“She was married! You knew better!” He raises his voice. You clamp your mouth shut. “You should have never gone after her. But you did and now we're here. You're going to be a parent and I'm proud that you're accepting responsibility. But I am disappointed in how this came to be.” He shakes his head and sighs. “Do you have the paternity results? My lawyer will need those in case her husband tries to pull something that could negatively affect you or even this company.”

You are quiet for a moment before you tell him that she hasn't taken a paternity test yet. “I’ve read online that those tests aren't safe for the baby when they're in utero. If it's that important, we'll get one done after the birth.” 

Your father stands from where you had him sit as you told him the story. “You accepted responsibility for a child that may or may not be yours?” 

“Dad, I love Leigh. That child is without a doubt in my mind, my child. Even if he or she or they comes out without my genetics, that baby will still be mine-”

“Ah ha! So you do have doubts!” Your father interrupts. 

“No! I'm just trying to tell you how much she and this baby means to me! I'm looking for a house and-and maybe I'll even look into getting a ring if that's what she wants. I don't know! What I do know is that she and the baby are my family now and I hope you can accept that.” 

Your father looks you up and down and then nods once. “Okay, I will. That's what you want, I'm here for you. So when can I meet my daughter-in-law?” He asks again. 

“Uh I was actually about to head over to her house. I can ask if she's up for meeting you tonight,” you offer. 

“No, no, I don't want it to be a last minute thing. I don't want to put that kind of pressure on the poor girl. Here's what I think we should do. You invite her and her family over to my house for dinner on Sunday evening. Under these circumstances, I prefer to host because she's creating my grandchild and she doesn't need to worry about a menu for me and a presentable home. How does that sound?”

You nod along, agreeing with his plan. “Yeah, I will invite them to Sunday dinner. I'm sorry again for taking so long to tell you about all of this.” 

“It’s okay Y/n, you're an adult now. You don't have to run your decisions outside of the company by me. I love you,” he pulls you in for a tight hug. You return the sentiment and hold him just as tight. 

You catch up with him as you walk him out to his car before you part ways to get in your car to go to Leigh's house. It was nice to be able to chat with him like before. You hadn't realized how much you missed him until you had to say goodbye to him. 

Once you get to the Shaw residence you immediately tell Leigh about the dinner with your father and she happily accepts, excited to get to know your father. Then the two of you talk about the houses you sent her and she tells you that she already sent emails in order to make appointments to tour the homes. “So we're really doing this?” You ask her with hopeful eyes. 

She nods with love in hers, “Yes, we're doing this. We're going to find a home for our family,” she takes your hand and places it on her belly. “It’s what is meant to be.” 

“I love you,” you kiss her on the lips and pull her closer to you. 

“Mmm, I love you too,” she kisses you back.

Son of Hell - Chapter 6

Fandom: What in Hell is Bad? Characters: Satan, Minheyok, Ppyong, MC, Original Child Character(s) Content: Post-canon, omegaverse, alcohol consumption Word Count: 1,372 A/N: Long story short - This fic is post-canon (despite the game still only being in chapter 6 atm), so some characters will be slightly different than the game due to off-screen character growth. Sitri using Ra-on's real name is one of those things. So his everyone calling Ra-on 'your majesty'. That may get explained later…

“His majesty Satan has brought back their majesty Ra-on and they brought Minhyeok with them!” One of the citizens of Gehenna raised a large glass of beer as they yelled loud enough for the entire bar to hear them.

Every devil present joined in the celebration, raising their own glasses and shouting.

“No one is allowed to leave sober tonight,” Satan told the barkeep and everyone cheered yet again.

Some devils were already gathering around Minhyeok, patting his back as if he were an old friend. Minhyeok, for his part, was doing his best to be friendly despite not remembering anyone. No one seemed to mind the gaps in his memory though. They saw it as an opportunity to become friends all over again.

A devil tried to approach Ra-on. “Your majesty Ra-on-”

“I'm sorry,” they interrupted, “but I'm not participating tonight. Maybe some other time.”

They had only come because Satan wouldn't allow them to abstain from their own arrival celebration, but they had made it no secret that they were not in the celebrating mode. It would have been better if Seo-jūn could have stayed home, but Ra-on didn't trust anyone in Gehenna to babysit him just yet. They trusted the devils of Gehenna with their life, but they didn't trust them to handle a three-year-old without indulging their every whim. Plus, Seo-jūn didn't know any of them and it would be irresponsible to leave him with someone he didn't yet know or trust.

“It's not much of a welcome celebration if the guests of honor are going to sit out.”

Satan approached Ra-on and Seo-jūn with a displeased frown on his face and two glasses – one large one small – of beer in his hands.

“I tried to warn you.”

“Mama. It loud,” Seo-jūn mumbled in his sleepy voice as he nuzzled his face into Ra-on's chest to block out the light.

“Sorry, baby. Everyone is just excited that you're here.”

“No,” he continued to pout. “Tired.”

“Give him this.” Satan held the smaller glass toward Ra-on. “He'll pass out.”

Ra-on eyed the glass, already suspicious of what was inside. “And what is that?”

Satan grinned wide.

“Beer.” He held out the larger glass. “This one is yours.”

“Satan!” Ra-on sighed. “You cannot give beer to a child.”

Satan's face twisted. “Why not? Children used to drink all the time.” When Hell had children.

“Human children can have serious health problems if they consume alcohol.”

“Isn't he half devil?”

Ra-on glared at Satan with a fury so intense that it made him shudder; notably, not in fear.

“Your rage hasn't changed at all,” Satan said with an ecstatic look on his face.

“I'm married,” Ra-on reminded him, knowing exactly what he was thinking.

Satan didn't lose his expression as he asked, “So?”

“So get your head out of the gutter.”

Ra-on looked down at Seo-jūn, seeing that he had finally passed out during their conversation. They were glad he wasn't hearing any of this.

“You've gotten more angel-like since you left.” When Satan said that, Ra-on knew it wasn't a compliment. “Devils are honest about their desires.”

Ra-on shook their head and they held Seo-jūn close. “I have lots of desires, but my strongest is to stay loyal to the man who waited for me despite knowing nothing and who was there for us both when we needed him. Everything else is secondary.”

What Ra-on hadn't said was that they had no desire at all. However, Satan was not one of the devils that could pick up on subtle, unstated half truths.

“Then how do you plan to stay in Hell?”

“Put it in a cup. I'll drink it like I used to with Minhyeok.”

“And when you go into heat?”

Ra-on pointed to Minhyeok who was being swarmed by a few burly devils who were offering him drinks that he was (tactfully) rejecting. “He's been taking care of me for years. I think I'll manage.”

“And what about when he needs devil energy?”

Satan finally asked the question that was hanging heavy in the air. Even Ra-on – descendant of Solomon, the man whom God gave permission to take anything he so wished – could stay in Hell without having their internal energy rebalanced. It would be impossible for Minhyeok – a normal human – not to need it as well.

“He knows what it costs to be here. I told him everything up front and he agreed to it. We agreed to this.”

Out of respect, they did not ask how he planned to get devil energy. Out of respect, he didn't ask them either. There were some things they didn't need to share. As long as they both knew that their loyalty was to each other and no boundaries were crossed, they both agreed that it would be okay. It wasn't as if they had another choice.

Satan quickly chugged the smaller glass of beer; so quickly that it was downed in what appeared to be a single gulp. “Sounds like you're both making this complicated.”

“Maybe we are.”

“Tsk.” He set the larger, full glass down on one of the tables within Ra-on's reach and walked away.

Ra-on almost felt bad. To Satan, it had only been about a month since they last met, but it had been four years for them. They weren't the exact same person as when they left Hell and they knew it would take time for the devils to get used to that.

“Your majesty Ra-on.”

Another familiar voice called to them.

Ra-on smiled. “Hello, Sitri. Are you here to greet me or meet Seo-jūn? Or are you avoiding Minhyeok?”

“I would never use your majesty in such a way.”

“Of course you wouldn't.” They shifted slightly to expose Seo-jūn's face. “This is my son. Sorry that you couldn't meet him while he was awake. It's past his bedtime.”

“It's important that Lord Seo-jūn see to his needs and take care of himself.”

“Drop the ‘Lord’ title. He’s not the heir to Satan's throne.” They paused. “And stop calling me ‘Your Majesty’ while you're at it.”

“Lord Satan has told us that he acknowledges Lord Seo-jūn as his son and, as such, is the only one who may address Lord Seo-jūn without his proper title. And your majesty will always be your majesty.” 

Ra-on glared at Sitri. A glare that reminded him of King Satan.

“I see your habit of calling people by the wrong names has expanded to using unwanted titles. Do I have to worry that I will become Solomon again?”

“Of course not, your majesty.”

“He's showing you and Seo-jūn respect,” Satan said as he returned to the scene. This time, he carried the small glass, but it was filled with white. “If he didn't, I would kick his ass.”

Sitri did not respond verbally, but his flushed face declared that he thought it would be an honor to receive such treatment.

Satan didn't wait for Ra-on to chew him out for encouraging Sitri's behavior. Instead, he held the glass out to them. “Your welcome gift.”

“Is that…”

Ra-on's face heated up as images of Satan squirreled away in one of the bathroom stalls, touching himself danced through their head. If it weren't for the noise due to everyone's partying, they were sure his voice would have carried through the entire building.

They looked at Sitri, silently asking him if this really was what they thought it was. Based on how he looked at them, it was and he had heard the entire thing.

They cleared their throat to try and bring themselves back to the situation at home. “Seo-jūn is right here…”

“So?” Satan asked. “He's asleep.”

“Satan,” Ra-on tried not to sound harsh because they knew his intentions were good, “some things are not appropriate to have around children at all.”

He looked at them completely unimpressed. “This is Hell. Do whatever you want. Who cares about human morals.”

“The humans do.” Ra-on motioned between themselves and Minhyeok.

Satan shrugged with a smile as if he wasn't being lectured. “You still need this.” He set the glass down on the table beside the large beer, then he looked at Ra-on with a smile on his face. “Welcome back to Hell.”

How to Stay Slim While Pregnant?

A magnificent time of transition and growth occurs during pregnancy. You might also notice changes in weight as your body gets ready to welcome a new life into the world.

Gaining weight is rather common during pregnancy, yet maintaining a healthy weight should take precedence over weight loss.

Maintaining your health and feeling your best during this unique period is the aim.

Here are a few easy ways to maintain your weight while expecting without placing unnecessary stress on yourself.

How to Stay Slim While Pregnant?

Focus on Nutrient-Rich Foods for a Balanced Diet

It is important to eat healthily during pregnant. Extra nutrition is necessary for your body to support your growing baby as well as yourself.

Aim to eat as many nutrient-dense foods as you can, including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and healthy fats.

Without providing too many empty calories, these foods provide your body with the nutrition it needs.

It is not necessary to eat for two. Rather, concentrate on consuming high-quality foods that are rich in minerals and vitamins.

This will guarantee that your kid gets all the nutrition they require while also helping you in controlling your weight.

Stay Active with Safe and Gentle Exercises

Maintaining an active lifestyle throughout pregnancy is a terrific strategy to keep your weight in check.

Prenatal yoga, swimming, and walking are examples of gentle workouts that can keep your muscles strong and your body moving without overloading them.

Aim for a couple times a week of mild exercise of approximately half an hour.

It is necessary to see your doctor to ensure that any workout routine is safe for you and your child before beginning.

Always pay attention to your body; take a break if you are feeling worn out or uncomfortable.

Manage Cravings and Avoid Overeating

Since cravings are a normal part of pregnancy, you may prevent overeating by understanding how to deal with them.

Try to discover healthy substitutes for sweet or salty cravings. Also, choose fresh fruit over candies or cookies if you are in the need for something sweet.

While occasionally giving in to your cravings is acceptable, try to watch how much you eat.

You can feel more in control of your eating and avoid gaining extra weight by eating seriously.

Stay Hydrated and Prioritize Fluids

Maintaining good health during pregnancy requires consuming adequate amounts of water.

By preventing bloating and water retention, which can make you feel heavier than you actually are, being hydrated can help you.

Water also maintains your energy levels and aids in the removal of pollutants.

Aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day.

To stay hydrated, you can also indulge in soups and herbal teas. Sugar-filled beverages should be avoided as they may add extra calories to your diet.

Monitor Your Portion Sizes

Since feeling hungrier is common during pregnancy, it is essential to pay attention to meal sizes. Even when eating healthful meals in significant quantities, weight gain is still possible.

To prevent overeating and maintain a consistent level of energy throughout the day, try eating smaller, more frequent meals.

Remember, being pregnant does not mean you have to eat twice as much.

A balanced diet with appropriate portion sizes will provide your kid with all the nutrition they require.

Get Enough Sleep and Manage Stress

For the growth of your unborn child as well as your own health, you must get adequate sleep.

It may be more difficult to control your weight if you do not get enough sleep because it can boost cravings and hunger.

To maintain a sensation of renewal and rejuvenation in your body, aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

Your weight might also be impacted by stress. Your body releases hormones during times of stress, which may lead to an increase in appetite.

Look for techniques to de-stress, like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or engaging in a soothing pastime.

Mickey and Pavan, Blaise Shepard's dads. I actually came up with them before I designed Blaise! I wanted a good solid backstory for my new Shepard. More info about these two cuties under the cut!

Blaises’ parents

In their first years, Blaise was raised by single dad Michael 'Mickey' Shepard, an English born space faring pansexual muscly man who left earth as soon as he could. They hopped across systems on various ships, Mickey working in security and logistics. Moving around all the time wasn't necessarily ideal with a littl’un but he made it work as best he could and made sure Blaise was never wanting for love and affection. Blaise certainly learnt to be a tough lil cookie very quickly, and was also exposed to a lot of different cultures/species etc. Mickey is a great big teddy bear of a man who likes coloured ringbinders, flowcharts and big fucking shotguns (OSHA approved). A fierce protector that loves to snuggle, protec, and tick checklists. Blaise's egg donor Genevieve was a troubled lady; she'd escaped extremely repressive religious parents and was having a reckless period in her life- lots of drink, drugs and partying, hopping from ship to ship doing odd jobs. She had a fling with Mickey, ran off one night without so much as a goodbye, then turns up 8 months later like 'yeah I was in denial but um babies coming. help!' (at some point during the pregnancy, she was also exposed to eezo, hence Blaises biotics). She was not prepared to be a mum but knew Mickey was kind hearted and couldn't bring herself to not at least let him know before she gave Blaise up for adoption. Mickey asked if he could raise Blaise, Genevieve agreed on condition she could sign away parental rights and he wouldn't contact her, which he honoured. Genevieve spiralled for years, BUT finally cleaned up and started training properly in transport/supply logistics. She settled down- on Mindoir. Blaise knew connecting with her was never going to be an option, but mourned for the loss of a person who had shown strength and growth, when they later learned of Genevieves fate.When Blaise was 6 Mickey landed a job working for a comm company, where they could stay on the one same ship that flew around the Terminus and outer systems fixing comm bouys and networks on various stations, sattelites and planets. Still dangerous given the amount of pirates and such in that region, but for the first time they could really settle in and make a home on board. This is where Blaise developed a taste for alien found family- the crewmates are all different species and were all their aunties and uncles.

A few months later the crew welcomes Pavan, software and tech specialist in comm networks, follower of Urvine, god of paths and journeys, and extremely gorgeous drell. Pavan is an adorable nerd who’s frill flutter and expand when he gets talking about systems analysis. He left Kahje as a teenager as soon as he got his qualifications, not content with the limits of the planet, and mourning the loss of his older sister who died during compact duties. In his spare time, Pavan offers tech support to a non profit that helps drell who decide to move off Kahje and form their own colonies. He isn’t strictly anti hanar, but feels the compact and the relationship has reached a point that is stifling drell independence and growth.

Mickey and Pavan, both being nerdy guys that are sticklers for details and a passion for exploration and adventure (as long as it complies with health and safety standards!) quickly fall head over heals for each other. Pavan finds himself besotted with the adorable little Shepard family, and when he and Mickey get married Pavan adopts Blaise according to the rights of Arashu. Blaise also takes on the old gods as their religion and immerses themselves in drell family traditions. Pavan feels Urvine guided him to a path to find this family and lead him to Mickey. He love Blaise completely as though they were their own child, no question. They are a sickeningly adorable family.

Repressed Love: A DiaLuci Love Story

Chapter 44

Tag list: @astroseuss @zarakem @brielle043 @missloserqueen

Just as the mother was instructed, she drank the potion twice a day for the rest of the week.

In order to help Diavolo relax and disassociate herself from what she was putting into her body and help her calm down a bit, Barbatos put the vial of medicine into her tea.

The first day, the woman's hands were shaking and she could only cry; she knew it must be done, but she didn't want to drink it, not when she knew what it was going to do her baby.

Barbatos and Lucifer stayed with her though, softly comforting the mother and cajoling her to take a sip.

Dia thought she already worked through this with herself, thought she had resolved to do what she needed to do, but when the medicated tea was put it front of her, it all just became overwhelming.

Last time, the medicine was injected into her against her will. This time...she had to make the decision, to summon the strength to make herself drink it.

If it only harmed herself, this wouldn't even be an issue, but since it harmed her baby and to save herself at that, it just felt so scary...so selfish.

Both men reminded her that it would also save her child, not just herself.

With her hands a bit shaky, she brought what she saw as poison to her lips and took a sip.

Luckily, Barbatos had made sure the potion didn't change the taste of the tea so the princess was able to lie to herself easier, convince herself this was just a normal tea time in the garden.

This first experience helped Dia remain calm for the others, but the woman still spent her days carrying some anxiety within herself.

The woman wanted so badly to visit her father, but knew both the Rot on her body and the shrunken belly would only cause him to become concerned for her and her child's well being.

The woman still didn't know the true extent of her father's condition, a secret both men in her life still kept from her, but knew that he wasn't quite feeling his best yet and didn't want to add to his burden.

Instead, the pregnant woman spent most of the time with her daughter while her fiancé worked and MC and Satan were still healing from their situation.

She would even join her daughter during class, something that made Audriana so excited! Too much so, considering the girl would try to talk to her mother instead of focusing on the board or doing her class work 😅

Still, Audriana was happy to spend time with her mother and every time she got a question right, she'd turn to Dia to be showered in praise

And trust me, those were moments both Mama and daughter enjoyed 🥰

It truly made this stressful week for the woman not as stressful.

On MC and Satan's side of things, the couple was working on consoling one another and studying up on what was happening to the human's body.

Since MC's pregnancy was essentially put on 'pause' for almost eight months, her belly was growing at a concerning rate. There were some days where you could actually see the growth in the moment.

Not only was this scaring the couple, but this also caused pains within the woman's body.

Somedays, they were just some minor cramps that the human could work through. Other days, she was rolled up in a ball, sobbing in bed as her abdomen was forcibly stretched.

Human bodies obviously weren't made for the treatment this pregnancy was putting her through and so Satan, along with Barbatos, was watching over the woman thoroughly.

Sadly, there wasn't many human safe potions that were also safe for her child so the poor woman was just stuck dealing with the pain and exhaustion from her seemingly constant-ballooning belly.

Barbatos did the best to raise the worried couple's spirits though. He kept an eye on the woman's health with the diagnostic rune to see the basics of what MC's body needed in order to handle the growth better and any deficiencies he found, he would prepare a meal that would help raise her levels.

All of this also led the couple to a new concern: how long until she gives birth?

Because of her long trip with her family, the woman's pregnancy was completely thrown off and all they felt they knew for sure was that her body certainly couldn't last nine months of this.

Satan got so worried that he spoke to his father in the office about it while MC was taking a nap.

"I just cannot find enough books on this topic to give me a coherent picture on what's happening to her."

"I've asked Diavolo more about this, but even her knowledge is quite limited." The father explained guiltily. "Apparently, MC's pregnancy is...quite rare. Not many people have traversed outside of their own realm before this, after all."

Lucifer huffed.

"Then how can I help her?"The blonde questioned. "She's suffering because of me, because of my bad choices."

"I believe you are more than aware that conceiving a child takes two people."

"Dad, that's not helping--"

"Satan, pinning yourself with the blame and torturing yourself with it will not help the situation either." His father explained. "You and MC are both adults who made choices that led to here. The child is inside of her because of both of you...at the same time, the true complexity of this situation is neither your fault or MC's; there is no one to blame for the direction this pregnancy took."

"It's easier to blame myself though." His son admitted. "Because if it's my fault then surely I can fix it..."

"Blame doesn't lead to solutions; only to more problems."

The angel shook his head at his father's words, obviously getting overwhelmed.

"I just wanna fix this..." The blonde's eyes lit up before suddenly darkening. "I wish...I wish MC just wouldn't have the baby at all."

The demon froze.

"Satan," He spoke carefully. "Have you spoken about this with MC?"

The younger man shook his head.

"Honestly, I'm not sure how she'd feel."

Lucifer knew, or at least felt that he knew. MC was an incredibly compassionate and caring woman who always put others before herself.

The pride demon simply couldn't see the woman making such a decision, but would support it if she chose to surprise him on this.

How to guide his son on this topic though? Lucifer's gut feeling was to tell the angel not to speak a word of this to the sensitive pregnant woman.

At the same time, he recognized that the couple was in the middle of the something difficult and life changing; the two needed to communicate now more than ever and make sure they are on the same page.

The older man pursed his lips before settling on an answer.

"If you do discuss this with her...be gentle with your words and accept whatever answer she gives you."

"And what if she--"

"If she says no then you accept the answer and take care of her as you've been doing."

"But she'll--"

The father kept a firm stare on his son.

"You should never try to deprive a mother of her child." He lectured. "Once a woman has decided to keep her child, she will cross the three realms and back for them if they needed her to."

Satan sighed and laid his head on the desk.

"I feel so powerless...I just want her to be okay."

Lucifer stroked his son's hair.

"I'm well aware." Lucifer's voice practically leaked with empathy for the angel. "However, the best thing you can do for her during this time is to stand by her and do whatever she needs you to do."

Satan was a mess inside. How else was he supposed to save his girlfriend from her suffering?

With no true answer, the family finished out the week together.

Discover the Key Elements in Children's Health Drinks

Ensuring proper nutrition is vital for general well-being during critical developmental phases of kids. As an important source of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients for growing children's mental and physical growth, health drinks are essential in satisfying their nutritional demands. When choosing the best health drink for child growth, it is essential to keep in mind the nutritional requirements and avoid excessive sugar.

The Nutrients You Should Look for in Health Drinks for Kids

Kids' health drinks are typically designed to encourage gaining weight and general well-being in kids who could be at higher risk of malnourishment. They can also ensure that growing children get enough of the essential vitamins and minerals from their food. Examine the ingredient list and the nutrition information display for each drink to find out which are the better and healthier options.

Protein

A child's nutritious drink must include protein as a core component, as it is especially important during their formative years. Adequate protein consumption is a common challenge for children, and it can be particularly difficult for those with picky eating habits or a mostly vegetarian diet. Selecting the best protein powder for kids is crucial to promoting development, repair, and growth.

Omega-3

Generally speaking, omega-3 is essential for the brain development of younger children. You might not typically eat foods like fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids Naturally, it is nearly hard to encourage your kids to take Omega-3 fatty acids tablets or capsules. Choosing health drinks with a moderate amount of this nutrient is the best and safest option. One element you might notice when reading the labels is DHA. This kind of omega-3 fatty acid is frequently found in a kid-friendly beverage that is nutritious.

Calcium

Children's bones are still growing. Providing kids with a healthy calcium source can help strengthen their bones during these years. When you think of calcium, milk is probably the first item that springs to mind. And all parents are aware of the difficulty in encouraging their kids to drink milk. A convenient way to ensure your child has no problems associated with calcium shortage is to give them a healthy drink.

Additional Minerals and Vitamins

Planning a child's daily diet can be difficult because of the abundance of vitamins and minerals needed for proper growth. It becomes sensible to choose a health drink powder for kids that has the appropriate amounts of essential nutrients. By delivering comprehensive nutritional support in an easily consumable form, this single-source strategy eliminates concerns about vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Taste preferences, safety, and nutritional content must all be taken into account while selecting the best health drink for child growth. To nurture a child's well-being and ensure optimal growth, a well-balanced choice that supports bone strength, immunological function, and general development is important.

Children are particularly vulnerable to infections due to their developing immune systems. Early detection and proper treatment are crucial to prevent complications and ensure a full recovery. Here are some common childhood infections and how they can be managed:

Measles: A highly contagious viral disease, measles presents with fever, cough, rash, and conjunctivitis. While treatment focuses on managing symptoms with antipyretics, hydration, and rest, vaccination is the best preventive measure. The measles vaccine, often combined in the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine, is part of routine immunizations for children.

Dengue Fever: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection that can cause high fever, severe body aches, rash, and, in severe cases, complications like dengue hemorrhagic fever. Pediatric treatment includes fever management, hydration, and close monitoring for signs of complications. Preventive strategies include avoiding mosquito bites and keeping living spaces free of stagnant water.

Respiratory Infections: Conditions such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and viral upper respiratory infections are common among children. These infections can range from mild colds to severe illnesses requiring hospitalization. Treatment depends on the severity and may involve antipyretics, antibiotics (for bacterial infections), nebulization, and supportive care.

Vaccinations as a Defense Against InfectionsVaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect your child from serious infections. The pediatric vaccination schedule includes essential vaccines against diseases like measles, polio, hepatitis, diphtheria, and rotavirus. Timely immunizations not only protect your child but also contribute to community immunity.

Health Checkups for Kids

Routine pediatric health checkups are an integral part of keeping your child healthy. These visits allow healthcare providers to monitor your child’s growth and development, address any health concerns early, and provide guidance on maintaining good health.

The Importance of Routine Care: Regular checkups help track your child’s height, weight, and developmental milestones. Pediatricians can identify and address potential health issues such as nutritional deficiencies or delayed growth patterns.

Immunizations: Keeping up with the vaccination schedule is vital for preventing life-threatening diseases. Your pediatrician will ensure your child is up to date with all required immunizations and boosters.

Managing Childhood Conditions: Common pediatric conditions such as diarrhea, thyroid disease, and allergies require timely diagnosis and appropriate management.

Diarrhea: Often caused by infections, diarrhea can lead to dehydration in children. Treatment includes oral rehydration therapy, probiotics, and dietary adjustments. Preventive measures include proper hygiene and clean drinking water.

Thyroid Disease: Although rare in children, thyroid conditions such as hypothyroidism can affect growth and development. Early diagnosis through routine screenings and appropriate treatment ensures normal growth and cognitive development.

Not just in muscle growth, protein helps in muscle repair and immunity development of kids as well. In the early years, kids require a higher amount of protein to aid in building muscles, tissues and organs. Protein also plays an important role in building the hormones and enzymes that regulate overall bodily functions.

That is where the Best nutritious drink for child growth comes into play.

Protein Shakes in Weight Management

Thus, by providing protein shakes to your kid you can ensure their maximum potential in sports with heightened immunity.
