*THROWS MY LAMPNOLD FAMILY ART AT YOU*

Shriggy holding baby Nyx (My lampnold fanchild) :]

Larry cause I love the design I drew for him and him in general

My sugarcube, Kelly! (aka special one) --- And a closer look at Nyx-

He's a firefly and has four arms like his papa Shriggy. He also has stars on his body like Larry.

A gift for @i-have-no-idea-for-name !! I drew Star in my style! I like how it turned out tbh!

Man, it's been a while since I posted art on here. But I hope this makes up for it! I'll give a more detailed explanation on Nyx later!

Masterlist

"I hate you, Maxwell" Leah said, trying to catch her breath.

"It was your idea to get ready for the preseason together, not mine" June shrugged.

"And now I am regretting it so much. I liked you better when you were moping around and thinking you were bringing another Mount to the world."

"Please don't remind me of that."

"Then slow down a bit!"

"I can't. I want to make it to the new season in my best shape ever" June said, starting to run again.

"Working out won't make you forget about your problems!"

"But it helps!" June replied. Because her personal life was a mess. 

She had not heard from Ben since he had confessed his feelings for her, which meant that she didn't know if Mason had told him about what had happened between them. And she couldn't ask him if he had done it because he had blocked her on every social media platform and also her phone number.

So maybe now both of them hated her, and Ben didn't feel the same for her anymore, which sucked because she was starting to believe that she actually was falling in love with him. And as if all that wasn't enough already, for almost a week she had thought she was pregnant. 

But she wasn't going to let that affect her career. There was a World Cup at the end of the summer, and she was going to be there as one of England's captains. No one and nothing was going to take that away from her. 

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

"Ok, girls. Let's do this!" June said to her teammates before jumping into the pitch to warm up. It was their first game of the pre-season, the moment she had been looking forward for the past month. 

As she stepped out, she couldn't help to look to her left, to where the tv set was supposed to be. But there was nothing there, and he wasn't going to be there either throughout the season. 

Ben had changed teams and would now comment on the men's games. Officially he had said that it was because he needed a new challenge, joked that some of his mates had gone lazy and they deserved the wrath of his comments. But June knew what was the real reason behind it. Her.

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

Minute 70. Chelsea was comfortably winning 2-0, June scoring the first goal. But she wanted more.

One of her teammates had sent her a long pass, one of those where she runs and controls the ball as if she had a magnet on her foot. One of her favourites. But as she was running, her head looking up, something went wrong.

A loud crack was heard, followed by June's even louder scream as she fell to the floor. Her vision went blurry, the pain on her knee as nothing she had ever experienced before. She was crying, screaming, it was unbearable. She could hear her teammates around her calling her name, the doctor talking to her. But she couldn't focus on anything. All she felt was pain. 

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

"Mum, can you please stop? It's just a photo for Instagram, not for Vogue" June said.

"I know" she replied, putting a lock of hair behind her ear. "But it is going to be everywhere since it will be your first photo after surgery, and I know that if you don't look good you'll get mad at us when you see it again in a few days because how did we allow you to take a photo looking like that."

"That's true" John chuckled.

"Whatever" June said, rolling her eyes.

"A nurse just gave me these for you" her dad said, walking into the room.

"Oh, wow" June gasped.

"Those are beautiful!" her mum said, looking at the huge bouquet of flowers. "Who has sent them?" 

"No one" she said, trying to hide the note.

"Someone must have sent them, June."

"A boy. Look at the colour of her cheeks" her dad laughed.

"A boy? What boy? June, do you have a boyfriend?"

"What? No!"

"Are you seeing someone?"

"No, I'm not."

"Then who sent those flowers?"

"A friend, ok? Now can we please take that photo?" 

"What friend?"

"Mum!" June protested.

"Ok, ok… John, do you know who he is?"

"I have my suspicions" he smirked. "But I'm not telling you anything, so don't ask again."

"Boring" their mum replied.

"Are we taking the photo or not?" June asked again.

"We are, we are. Give me the flowers, I'll put them with the others."

"No! I want them in the photo."

"Why?" her mum asked, arching an eyebrow.

"I just want them, ok? Now take that damn photo."

"You take it, John. I'm gonna find a glass or something to put the flowers in" their mum said, leaving the room.

"Ready, sis?" John chuckled.

"Ready" June replied, smiling at the camera and hugging the flowers. She knew who had sent them, she had recognized the handwriting the moment she had seen the note. And if he got to see the photo, she wanted him to notice them, to know how much receiving them had meant to her.

"Hope surgery has gone well. Now the tough work starts, but if there is someone who can get in shape just in time for the World Cup, that's you. You can do it, June. I believe in you. Your favourite peach and pundit, Ben."

Chapter 9

MCs POV

It's been 2 months since Jake had to leave 2 months since my heart got ripped out and smashed all over the ground. I haven't heard from him since he left. I cry myself to sleep every night. I pray that he is still alive and will contact me soon but that day just never comes. Jake's parents have been kind enough to let me stay even though Jake's not here. Baby Harry has been my rock since his daddy left. He's kept me from completely falling apart. Everything about him reminds me of Jake, his cute little smile, his bright blue eyes. The little strands of black hair on his head.

I've spent most of my day with tears streaming down my face, my heart is completely broken. How the hell do I even go on without him? I need him so much he's the only person I have ever truly loved and he's been ripped away from me. I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around in hope that maybe he has come back. "Jake? Jake is that you?" As I turn round my heart shatters into a million prices. "Oh hunni I'm so sorry" Helen sits down next to me and holds me while I cry my eyes out for the millionth time today. I haven't slept properly in the time Jake has been gone. I can't sleep without him next to me.

Jake's POV

I am currently hiding out in an abandoned warehouse, it's been 2 months now since I last saw and talked to MC. My heart breaks every time I think of how I left her. I love her so much. Why did I have to be so stupid and find those files anyway all it's done is get me a life of being on the run. I haven't been able to hold my baby boy in 2 months, I haven't been able to think straight without MC by my side. Her soft skin against mine, the way she smiles at me when she misses me when I was working and she wraps her arms around me.

I miss her warmth next to me at night. I always felt protected in her arms, it was like nothing could ever pull us apart. My heart smashed into a million pieces the day I had to leave. I have been trying to find a way back to her but I have not yet been able to because it's not safe to contact her over the phone. I have one single photo of us in my wallet that I now keep close to my heart. I look at that picture every second of the day and I make a promise that I will get back to her.

She wanted to come with me when I told her what had happened, I couldn't let her come with me. It's no life for her and the baby is constantly being on the run. I have been checking the cameras in my mum and dad's house. I can see MC sitting on the sofa crying her eyes out. I have never seen her so upset before she looks completely broken and it's all my fault.

MC I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and I will do everything in my power to get you back.

Over the next couple of days MC had started taking Harry to a baby group for young mums at the community center. She had made a new friend there called Jessy; she and her boyfriend Richy had just become parents MC and Jessy hit it off right away. They arranged a play date at the park for the next day which MC gladly accepted. She needed to find things to keep her mind focused. She was still finding it so hard without Jake MC had told Jessy what had happened Jessy was so understanding. She told MC that if she ever needed anything that she only had to ask.

The next day MC met up with Jessy and Richy at the park, "hi MC it's so good to see you how have you been?" the redhead put her arms around MC hugging her tightly. "Hey Jessy, I'm okay I still miss him so much" tears started to escape MCs eyes at the thought of Jake. Jessy was quick to put her arms around MC and sit her down on a bench "it's going to be okay MC, me and Richy will help you" MC looked up and she managed a little smile on her face. "Jessy's right, we are always here for you"

Richy went over to a nearby coffee stand and got 3 coffees, of course MC and Jessy still couldn't have caffeine just yet with breastfeeding. On the way back home MC kept thinking about Jake and how she missed him. She had been wearing some of his shirts that still had his scent on them. It brought her some comfort. When MC arrived back home there were 2 FBI officers there and they wanted to talk to MC about the whereabouts of Jake. "What's all this about? Why are they here?" More tears fell from MCs eyes she was thinking the worst had happened. "It's okay we just want to talk" one of the agents got up and came over to MC.

"Look we just want to ask you some questions about what the information was that your boyfriend found" Mc looked up at the agent she could tell from his eyes he was just trying to help or was that what he wanted her to think. "Look I don't know where he is or what the information was he found he wouldn't tell me for this very reason. I haven't spoken or seen him in 4 months now" MC put her head in her hands and more sobs escaped her eyes. "Do you really have to do this now? You can see how upset she is" Jake's dad came over to where MC was. "We are not this bad guys here we want to help Jake, the information he as is very important for the case we are building against someone"

MCs eyes widened at what the agent just said to her, "what? So you don't want to throw him in jail?" The agent knelt down next to MC and put his hand on her shoulder. "No we don't want to do that, it's the people that he has the information on that are after him. We need to get to Jake before they do"

MCs POV

For the first time in months I started to have a little hope I could find Jake before these men did. Could I save him in time? What if they got to him before I could and they killed him? If that happens, what is my life even worth? How do I even go on without him? I have to find him somehow. I slowly pull myself up, tears still rolling down my face. If I want to get Jake back I need to do something. "Okay I will help you I don't know how but I am only doing this to get Jake back" MC picked baby Harry up and helped him close. "We understand we will be in touch soon"

The two agents left and once again MC became an emotional mess, Harry took his grandson and went out the back with him. Helen put her arms around MC and held onto her. "It's going to be okay MC we will get Jake back"

Jake's POV

I can't believe what I have just seen and heard the FBI dare to scare my girl and my son. They say they want to help and find me so they can protect me. I can't stay here. I need to move on and find a way of getting back to MC. Once I've found a place I need to dig into the FBI database and find out more information about these people after me. I need to get the upper hand. I can't let them win, I will not let them win. I start to pack my things away and head out making sure I keep to the shadows.

I can't risk anyone seeing me after a few hours of traveling I find another abandoned building. Once I get inside the building I head upstairs and set up my laptop in one of the offices. I check on the people after me. They have just arrived at the other building I was staying in. They are getting closer but not close enough. I can put them off the scent by placing a few things that will lead them out of duskwood.

I spend the next few hours setting up my traps. The signal is getting further and further away from where I am. My plan is working for how long I am unsure but for now I take this as a small victory. My mind wanders back to MC. My heart starts to ache for her. I miss the way she always smells of lavender, her sweet smile, the twinkling look she always has in her eyes. A tear starts to run down my face and my heart is hurting. I thought this would be the best thing to do at the time. I didn't want MC in any danger and yet here I am putting her in danger.

I am going to come back to you MC. I promise I will always love you no matter what happens. You are my whole world. I must have fallen asleep as I woke up at my desk, my eyes adjusting to the bright lights coming in through the window. I took a look at the time and it's 7am and my body gave up on me and made me sleep. I have lost time. I didn't have to lose. I grab an energy drink from my backpack. Downing it almost straight away I quickly get back to work. I need to know how far away my pursuers are. I type away at my laptop. My plan is still working which I am thankful for.

MC woke up to the sound of Harry crying; she managed to drag her body out of bed and pick him up. Holding him close she sits back down on the bed and starts to feed him he slowly starts to calm down as he's feeding. MC hasn't slept all night. Her tear stained eyes are red. The only thing she can think about is Jake. Her heart aches for him to come back to her.

"Jake please come back to me wherever you are please baby, I need you I love you so much. The emptiness I feel without you hurts so much I love you Jake" all of a sudden Helen came rushing into the bedroom and grabbed Harry from MCs arms. "Harry call an ambulance quick it's MC"

MC had crashed to the floor. The ambulance had arrived just in time and rushed her to the hospital. The doctors and nurses ran tests and scans on her and they gave her something to help her wake up. After a few hours MC had woken up she was lying in a hospital bed. "W-what happened? Where am I" Helen took hold of MCs hand and smiled at her. "It's okay MC you are in hospital you collapsed your body gave out on you but you will be okay" tears fell from MCs eyes Helen wrapped her arms around her "it's going to be okay MC" MC looked into Helen's eyes and for the first time she saw hope in her eyes. "How do you know it's going to be okay? What if it's not?"

Helen pulled away from MC and looked towards the door. "There is someone here that wants to see you" MC sat up and her eyes widened in shock.

I've thought of suicide before. If I can't escape this marriage, I'd rather die than live with this monster.

He's the epitome of his dad; says his dad was very abusive growing up and would destroy things in the house anytime he was mad. Now, this monster I live with is doing the same, disgusting thing his dad did. And he blames it on me. He says if I just knew to shut the fuck up, he wouldn't have gotten so pissed off. It's always my fault.

He's smashed and broken soooo many things, a lot of which were not his. One item of his, however, was his $1000 Note 10 phone that I had been paying for. He's broken many other phones following that $1000 phone, one of which was an old phone of mine that held a lot of precious photos of my nieces and nephews when they were little. Now I no longer have access to those photos.

He also drinks a lot. He doesn't get abusive when he drinks, thankfully, but his demeanor and actions are off putting. Beer cans everywhere, he pees all over the bathroom (HE MISSES THE TOILET), he'd leave trash laying around (already does this but it's even worse when he's drunk), he doesn't shower nor take care of his hygiene, if we're out in public he would sexualize me in front of everyone, he calls off work just to drink some more, and the worst part: he'd go through at least 2 6-pack of beer a day. You will never ever see him drink just 1 pack. He'd buy one in the morning or day, finish that pack, go to sleep drunk, wake up a few hours later and drive to the liquor store to buy another 6-pack. Sometimes, he'll even go for a third pack. He does this for at least a week straight until he suddenly stops for a good week, then he picks it up again. It's a repeating cycle. At least... he isn't door dashing beer anymore. He used to do that a lot when we first bought our house, and then stopped when he realized he was paying double for one pack of beer. He does recognize he has a problem. He'd get sad and frustrated with himself, talks to me about his addiction and problem, but then 10 minutes later, his car is gone and you know he's at the liquor store.

Anyways, back to my thoughts of suicide....

Yes, I think about it often. I've written a suicide letter in my email somewhere, for my family. I've yet to tell anyone about the crazy marriage I'm in. He isn't abusive all the time, but when we do fight (maybe once every two weeks or so), all he ever does is smash anything he can and threaten to kill me. He's even threatened to kill my little dog.

I don't wanna be here anymore, but I also can't leave.

Because of my culture.

Not yet, I can't.

It's been almost a year since you seen Chris. Your relationship with him was not good. Lots of arguing, lots of accusations, lots of Crying. After a while you both had enough and Decided to end it.

After moving out of his place you had noticed you were waking up sick and throwing up. You instantly knew it was symptoms of being pregnant. You took a test and sure enough you were pregnant.

You weren't sure how you were going to do this. Taking care of a kid by yourself was hard and you knew that from people close to you.

After hours of stressing out and crying you decided that you were going to make the best of this. You brought yourself a nice two bedroom home, got a great paying job. Your friends and family helped you through your pregnancy.

Your son was born 8 months later. He was a tiny lit cutie with curls and Hazel eyes. He had long lashes like his dad and a freckle on his cheek just like his dad.

You didn't mind him looking like his father at all, but it was also hard knowing your little guy was going to look like the man you used to love who had called your relationship quite.

**

Months flew by with your son. Before you knew it he was turning 8 months old. He was already smiling, laughing and getting into everything for his age. He was the light of your life and there was nothing that was changing that.

**

After a few months of being broken up Chris grew curious. He's used to hearing about his ex, but this time he heard nothing about you.

One night Chris got super drunk and Decided to look up your social media.

He pulled out his phone opening Instagram. He searched your account and clicked your profile. He began looking at the pictures on there; most were you and your beautiful smile and body which you weren't insecure about.

My whole world #singlemom

Chris bite the inside of his cheek as he looked at the boy. He may have been drunk as hell, but he knew he was his.

Chris started wondering why you didn't tell him. Sure your relationship was rocky, but that didn't feel like a reason to not tell him.

Chris decided to get some rest and get sobered up before he gets more information on his surprising discovery.

The next day Chris woke up on edge. He called a few of his friends who he thought may have knew you or someone who knew you.

After hours and hours of searching he found someone. Your friend Sarah. Sarah knew you weren't a fan of Chris so she was skeptical when he called her. It took a lot of pleading before Sarah told him she'll talk to him.

Your phone ringed as you settled on the couch after putting y/s/n Down You picked up. "Hi Sarah." "Hi. Um.. I have something to tell you. I know you don't want to hear from him but Chris knows about you and y/s/n."

Your heart skipped in your chest. "How did he find out?" Sarah was silent for a second. "Uh I don't know."

You sighed running your hand over your face. "So what do we do?" Sarah asked. "Do you want to set up a date to talk to him?"

"no, I have his number. I'll talk to him."

You told Sarah thank you than hung up. You hesitated at first, but still dialed Chris' number. The phone rung a few times before Chris picked up.

"Chris?"

At the sound of your voice Chris stood up from his chair. "Y/n, hey. How are you?"

"I was doing fine until you decided to bother Sarah."

"look y/n, I'm sorry." Chris sighed out. "I just.. I found out you have a son and I really want to know if he's mine."

You pinched the bridge of your nose. "Chris.. I don't need to tell you this."

"y/n if he's mine don't you think I deserve to know? Why is it so hard for you to tell me?"

"Maybe I don't want my child to grow up in a broken home." You yelled at a whispered.

"he won't grow up in a broken home if we work it out. Come on y/n, it's not difficult." Chris blood was boiling as he said that. He get where you were coming from, but he was to pissed that he Missed out on months of his son's life.

As you opened your mouth to speak the sound of crying came from the baby monitor. You shut your eyes. "Chris, I can't talk right now."

"I know go take care of him. If you change your mind please tell me. Y/n, I really want to be in his life." With that Chris hung up the phone.

As you sat I the Rocking chair rocking your son you thought about Chris. You felt guilty for keeping Chris away, but you were stubborn. You thought about it and you definitely didn't want this to end nasty between you and Chris, so after you placed your son back down you texted Chris.

We can meet at the park in Concord Tomorrow

The Origins of Big Hero 7

Big Hero 7: The Series

Origins

*A flicker of black and white starts up for a while, static noises barely blocks out a voice*

Umm…Hello? Can you hear me?

*the flickering and static stops as it shows a 14 year old girl with dyed blue hair and purple eye contacts*

Can you hear me? Oh it's working!

*The girl sits on the chair in front of the camera. She smooths out her sea green skirt as she clears her throat*

Hi! So…after some thinking I decided to make a video diary so I can remember what I said. After all, who knows when it'll come in handy right? Oh right! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Cora Mizichio.

*Cora chuckles slightly before continuing*

So I guess I should start with my life and such. Let me warn you though, it's kind of a long and wild story.

*she pulls out a phone and starts showing pictures*

I have lived in San Fransokyo for my whole life with my Dad, Mizuchi and Grandmama, Kaguya. My mom, Akemi passed away when I was a baby.

*image of a blonde hair woman smiled warmly before switching to Cora and her family. Her father being Goliath in stature and her grandmother dressed in a kimono with a cane*

Then my family found out that I'm incredibly intelligent for my age. I suppose hacking into your father's computer to send a birthday card at the age of 4 does that. My Dad is very sweet and an old softie, but is very protective of me and wasn't sure that I should go to school. So I was homeschooled, it was fun being taught by Grandmama and such about Marine biology, but…I felt kind of lonely…

After all my studies, I actually made a habit of bot fighting disguised as an unknown cat-masked competitor under the name 'Nekodomo'. It earned good money since at the time Dad hadn't gotten any luck with jobs due to his height. But it was my very first night of bot fighting that I met him…Hiro Hamada

*she flips the photo to a young Asian boy her age, with messy raven hair, large almond brown eyes and a tooth gap in his smile.*

I've never had very much luck when it came to making or having friends, so if I someone told me that I would end up dating this guy I would had laughed. But yeah we did. I was paired up with Hiro in one of those special bot fighting events like the duo duel. We won, but than the cops were coming and I was so scared of getting caught that I couldn't move. But then the next thing I know Hiro grabs my hand and we were running like crazy before the cops even spot us! I have no idea how long we had been running, but to be honest I didn't really care because I was still awe-struck by the fact that Hiro had save me from getting arrested and we didn't even know each other at the time. But that was all about to change, because as we were finally approaching a safe distance from the cops, it was at that moment where I tripped and fell flat on my face, and at the same time broke my mask. Thankfully Hiro picked me back up and we started running again, with me leaving my broken mask behind. Once we finally stopped and knew we were safe, that was when Hiro and I actually first met face-to-face. Now I have to be honest with you, I've never really known if the whole 'Love at first sight' thing was actually real or not, but it's the only thing I can describe how I felt when I first looked into Hiro's eyes. It was there when we properly introduced ourselves to each other and after that, we started seeing each other more. And it was only after 4 months of hanging out together, that I finally got to meet his family, and he got to meet mine.

*The picture now showed Hiro with a woman holding a calico japanese bobtail cat and a young man on either side of him.*

The woman on his left is his Aunt Cass, she runs a coffee shop called the Lucky Cat Cafe. The young man on his right is his older brother Tadashi. And the adorably cute kitty-cat Aunt Cass is holding is Mochi, their family pet. They are really cool people, and they always asked how I was doing and such, and Mochi is such a sweet kitty that he always tries to cuddle up to me whenever I come over. Hiro and I actually became an official thing one night when I saved his butt from Yama's minions. And boy were they surprised! Aunt Cass actually bounced when Hiro told them that I'm his girlfriend! Dad and Grandmama met them that night too, while dad wasn't too happy at first about me dating, Grandmama convinced him…after hitting him on the head with her cane.

*Cora giggled at the memory*

Anyway, After a slight misadventure where Hiro and Tadashi landed in jail and Cass had to bail them out, Tadashi actually took Hiro to SFIT, San Fransokyo institute of Technology that same night. Hiro told me that he met Tadashi's friends. There's Gogo: the cool biker chick, Honey Lemon: the stylish Chem genius, Wasabi: Laser neat freak, and Fred: the secret Billionaire super hero geek. Afterwards Hiro and I actually applied to SFIT by entering the showcase! Hiro made these miniature robots he called Microbots which he can control via head transmitter, I on the other hand did super strength suction cup shoes that can stick on any surface. We both won and we…were gonna celebrate until…a huge fire broke out in the showcase building and Tadashi ran back inside to help Callaghan, a teacher at the school….he didn't make it…

*Cora turned quiet, looking at her hands as she takes a deep breath*

Hiro wasn't himself for a while. I visited him a lot since the fire, and I mostly talked and tried to comfort and be there for him. Then came the day Hiro stubbed his toe and Baymax came along.

*A picture of a white inflated figure came to the picture*

Baymax was Tadashi's project, a robotic nurse to be more specific. He heard Hiro say ow and activated to help him. Then one of Hiro's microbots started acting weird, and Baymax followed the direction it went! It was then we found a guy in a kabuki mask controlling the Microbots. But they were destroyed at the fire right? Once Hiro pieced together that it was the kabuki-masked man that started the fire to steal them, which in turned killed Tadashi…Hiro decided to build Baymax some armor which…well

*the next picture showed Baymax in protective gear*

We traveled down to the port where we saw him take some type of machine out of the ocean. But then it turns out Baymax called the gang to help us, but sadly the guy in the mask saw us. We barely escaped with our lives that night! Thankfully Baymax being a walking marshmallow, also makes him an inflatable raft too. Afterwards we got to Fred's mansion and discussed over what to do next. Side note: it was weird to see that Fred is a billionaire.

*shows portrait of a young Fred and his parents in classy attire*

Hiro and I then built ourselves armor to fight the guy in the mask. Honey lemon got this cute chemistry purse to pull out what she needed, Gogo got some sick skates to zoom past us, Fred got a killer Kaiju costume that breaths fire, Wasabi got awesome laser blades on the backs of his hands, and I got my aquatic camouflage suit with squid strength suction cup shoes! And learning back from his previous work, Hiro turned Baymax from a stay puff marshmallow with bicycle gear to an awesome superhero!

*the next photo shows Baymax in his red armor*

After training and flying around the city we got down to business. We flew to Akuma island where the masked guy was, and it was there we learned something interesting. Krei and some government officials had something called 'Project Silent Sparrow'. It backfired when the portal sucked everything in, and the pilot was stuck. But then the masked guy attacked us! We tried to fight back but….

*a small clip showed Fred jumping only to be punched away *

We bombed, big time.

Hiro and I got lucky to get the mask…but the person was not who we thought….

Turns out Callaghan grabbed the transmitter and used it and the Microbots to protect himself in the fire…leaving Tadashi to die….

It was then that Hiro took out Baymax's health care chip and ordered him to kill Callaghan…

*Cora took a deep breathe before standing up and leaving the room, she returned back with a glass of water and started drinking it. Once she was done She then continued.*

Thankfully the gang got Baymax back to normal but Hiro was furious. He just left with Baymax…but we eventually met up with Hiro at his place, with a video of Tadashi…it was also when we showed him what we discovered. The pilot was no random person Krei hired. She was Callaghan's daughter, and Callaghan was out for blood.

We got to Krei Tech where Callaghan got his portal running. Hiro then learned what we needed to do to beat him; instead of the mask, we take out the Microbots, then he'd be powerless. But despite that, the portal was still open, and ready to tear itself to pieces. Then Baymax dropped the biggest bomb on us, Callaghan's daughter was still alive in there.

Hiro and I got on Baymax to rescue her. We found her pod but Baymax's thrusters were wrecked from the debris…

Baymax…he got us out by rocket punch…but stayed behind in the portal…

It's been weeks since then…

Krei agreed to keep our identities a secret, Callaghan is in prison, and his daughter is making a steady recovery at the hospital. And the news had been exploding over 'the mysterious group of heroes' that saved the city.

Hiro and I had been doing good, we talked to the gang a lot and we actually reapplied to SFIT again.

*Cora then looks at the clock beside her and gasped*

Oh man it's almost midnight! And first day of class is tomorrow! Anyway, thank you for listening! And…Baymax…I don't know if you can hear me..but Hiro has been doing good. We all miss you…especially me and Hiro...wish us good luck, cause who knows what happens tomorrow.

*Cora smiles at the camera before turning it off.*

Ayama POV

My alarm starts going off. I groan at it then shut it off. It's was a Sunday. I was wondering why I turned it on. I lied in my bed for a bit then it hit me. I wanted to torture myself today. By going on a walk on the beach.

I felt four paws on my thigh. "Morning, Nebula." I said. "Meow" "I'll get up." I told her. I stretched a bit. I took my bonnet off and got out the bed.

Once my feet hit the carpet. I walk towards my closest and pick out something simple and plain. I then went in the bathroom and set my clothes down on the counter and closed the door.

I got undress and put my shower cap on. And got in the shower. Once I was done in the bathroom. I walk out wearing a black tank top, a black crop top hoodie that I could only wear if I have a tank top under it. And black leggings.

I walked back into my room and went straight back to sleep. I woke up about 10 minutes later. Leo woke me up this time. "Okay, Okay." I sighed.

Knowing my dad already went out the house to help the other pro heroes with the exam that coming up tomorrow. I turn on the TV in my room, but all I found was news channel or ads talking about the exam.

I turned it off and went downstairs to get cereal not wanting to make pancakes or french toast. I pass a picture of my mother and father.

I stopped to look at it for awhile. I've seen some pictures of my mother. The rest are kept somewhere in my father's room.

She's Afro-Asian. She passed away when I was 3. I never met my grandpa or my grandmother from my mother side. They're villians after all.

I seen my mother's family members in Texas and some in California. We visit them sometimes whenever it's a holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving. I've also seen my dad's family members other than his sister. He never told me why she not in my life. And tellsl me it best if I don't meet her.

Anyways, my mother's hair is natural black(or very very dark brown that looks black). Her hair was long and wavy in the first picture. Our hair same the same features. Our hair type can and it grows fast after a week or two. Her eyes were like mine, but her eyes colorare lavender and mines lilac.

Her skin is dark brown and it's very beautiful. I can't help but admire her. She also has some yellow sparkle across her face. They looked like stars. It's apart of one of her Quirks. Her eyes color and lavender.

She had four dark brown gazelle horns on her head and her gazelle ears were showing. Her body was well mature. I guess like mine though I never really care about my shape really. She has two of her horns wavy and the other two curly wrapping around the other white horns.

Her costume in the third was her in a long sleeve black crop top and black pants with gold medal plates around the rims of them. Her high combat boots were black. And finally she had a gold medal choker around her neck with the sun symbol in the middle of it.

(Considering her Quirks she doesn't really need a bold hero outfit.)

In the second picture her hair is long and was in a kinky fro she didn't show her horns. Despite her time being alive she was one of the top number ten heroes. I walked away from the picture to go eat.

"Leo! Nebula!" I watch the two come into the kitchen and go to their bowls. Turns out it was already filled. They just wanted me with them.

From what my Dad told me. He got them for my mom when it was her birthday. So the cats been in my life the moment they brought me home.

I keep thinking about the exam tomorrow. I wonder who I would see. Once I was done eating I decided to clean the house. I did every room but my dad's.

I decided to go down to the beach, because I don't want to stay in the house all day and game. I text my dad and inform him about my whereabouts.

I put 20 dollar into my phone case and put my phone in my pocket. And went near the door to put my shoes on.

Now that I'm here. I'm just going walk along the shore. Although it strange to be wearing this on a hot day. I honestly don't really care. I have my reasons.

I walk towards the beach and decided to walk along the shore. While doing that I saw Izuku jogging along the shore. Geeze he grown a lot. "Izuku!" I shouted. It doesn't seem like he can hear me so I tried calling out to him one more time. He didn't so I followed him.

I see him almost out of breath. "I finish what you asked." He said while breathing heavily. I look up to see he was talking to. I saw Uncle All Might, but I didn't say anything, because I didn't want to say about me being relate to my dad.

"Oh hey n-Ayama!" And that was a close call. "Wait?... Ayama!" Izuku shouts. "I been calling your name for the last minute." I spoke. I saw him blush a bit, but I ignore it. Not really sure why.

"Wait is it okay for her to see you like this?" He ask my uncle All Might. "Oh yeah. Before you I had told her about it, but she turned it down saying I should give to someone who doesn't have a quirk." He told him.

"Oh so that means you also know about 'The one for all' Right?" Izuku ask me. "That right, freckles." I giggled. "Freckles? BAHAHA!" Uncle All Might laugh blood coming out of his mouth.

Izuku was freaking out about it. I seen this before but I was just gross out. "Alright you can take a break. Oh by the way can you me a popsicle?" He asked me. "Sure."

"Come on Izuku! We have a lot of catching up to do." I shouted. He rush up to me as we went to the small market near the beach. Which lead you back to the roads and sidewalks.

We were talking about what the news were talking about. "I wish I could've been with you guys. Mostly to tell Katsuki to stop." I said with guilt.

"It's nothing to be guilty about." He said reassuring me. "To make it up to you can get what ever you want from the market just try not to go overboard." I said.

"Ayama you don't have to." He said waving his hands. "I insist." I tell him. "Your kindness never change a bit Ayama." He said. He right and that was a bad thing in middle school, but it not like it ever left me. I got myself a soda, Izuku got a chocolate mint ice cream bar, and I got uncle All Might a ice pop of himself.

"That would be 4 dollars, Ms." The cashier tells me. I paid her. She gave me my chain back. I thank her we both left walking back towards my uncle.

"So I'm guessing after today your finally getting your quirk."I said. He nodded while holding the bag in his hand.

"Oh I'd never asked you what are your quirk?" He asked me. "I have two of them, but their both complicated." I said. "Oh I see." He said. "Don't worry you'll get to see me in action at the exams." I cheer him up. Once we got the spot again.

"I want to be surprised that you're eating a popsicle of your self, but I'm not." I sighed. "It a hot day. I have every right." My uncle said. Leaving me and Izuku giggling and snickering. "Hey! What's so funny?!"

They went back to training and I decided to help uncle out with training. The fun part was Midoriya going on his back while doing push up. "I'm sorry Midoriya." I muttered. I spent almost the whole day with them. It was about 7:00pm

"Welp I better get going." I said. Me grabbing my soda bottle. "I'm guessing I'll see you at the exam?" I asked him. My uncle interrupt him "Oh yeah definitely!" I just sighed. "See you later Midoriya!" I shouted waving at them both.

I while walking towards my house I notice a teenager with ash blond hair that was spiky but looked soft. "I wonder if that could be... No. I doubt he would even remember me."

{Brain and Heart♡Melanie Martinez}

‘Help me when I'm at a loss for words. Bring up all of my memories for the please and the temporal.’ "There's that melody again."

'Well that was a fast walk.' Dad's Car was park in the driveway, so that meant he has came back. I open the door and then lock it behind me. I took my shoes off and left them at the door. "Lyric." My dad spoke. I jumped a bit. "Oh hey Dad." I said. "You seem lost in thought." He said.

"Oh yeah just a song came in my head. Although the melody was a bit strange." I spoke. "But who's know when I'll be using it." I shrugged my shoulders while walking towards the kitchen to go sit at the dinner table. It's was quite, but comfortable. I was just lost in my mind.

I got up from the dinner table and went towards the kitchen sink. That melody it sounded familiar, but I never heard it before.

I felt a hit on my hand. "Ouch, Dad!" I whined. "Next time, pay attention." He sighed. "What do you- Oh." I saw the dish I washing now broken in half.

"My bad." I mutter throwing it away in the trash. "Alright what was the lyric this time?" He ask. This isn't the first time this has happened. "Help me when I'm at a loss for words. Bring up all of my memories for the please and the temporal." I said.

"Don't give it too much though. If you go to sleep You'll have nothing to worry about." He said. He always does that. Brushes it off like it's nothing. "Alright, night Dad." I said.

"Good night and good luck tomorrow." He said. That right he won't be here when I wake up. I took a quick shower got into my PJs setting an alarm on my phone to wake up at 6:00am.

"I'm going to get a new bonnet. I can't stand this one. It's always falling off." I muttered.

The moment I closed my eyes. I saw someone with long wavy natural black hair and two gazelle brown horns and ears. I woke up and got out of bed and went straight downstairs to look at my mom's photos.

"I thought I told you to go to bed." My dad said. "Technically, you suggested it." I said. I'm still looking at my mother pictures.

"Bed. And I mean it." He said strictly. "Alright, alright." I said. Going straight to bed this time got it. I look at the clock it was 8:30pm.

"Just one question. Why do I have to go to bed this early?" [Ayama]

"Because you'll end up like me if you don't." [Aizawa]

We found love in a hopeless place part 18

Chapter 18: His first dance part 2

Spencer arrived at Max's dad's home after taking a shower and changed into Max's favorite suit. He wanted to show her how much he listen to her and how much he knew her. And he used his profiling skills to guess her favorite flower and bought a bouquet.

He knocked the door and Don opened it with the 'angry dad' expression, then he saw Spencer and relaxed "oh hey Spencer" he smiled "come in" he walked in "the girls are still getting ready and the boys aren't here yet"

They walked to the kitchen "I'm glad I got here on time, I was worry about the time"

"Well don't worry to much about it. Girls love to take their time so if you need an hour to get ready they need three" he laughed and looked at him "beer?"

"You know I don't drink" he looked at Don.

"Good I was checking. I know you aren't a teenager but I had to" Don laughed and handed Spencer a glass of water and sat next to him "Max told me about your week, tough case, huh?"

"Yes... Mostly because the unsub was on a mission" he drank some water "but thankfully we caught him. But it's sad how a dad could kill a bunch a young people because a mistake they had years ago because they were young"

"When you become a father you will understand Spencer. Those kids are your responsability and when something happens to them you feel like it's your fault because they are just kids, they don't know things you do because of their age" he sighed "I love all my girls but Max has been the only I had been worry since she was a little girl"

"Why is that?"

"She always have been so independence and it always ends in troubles" he laughed softly "she once broke her ankle because she was climbing on a tree and she spend all summer in the house with her ankle broken. She was 10 and Michelle was 13"

Spencer smiled and nodded, when he was About to comment they heard a voice very familiar "it was the worst summer of my life" both men turned and Spencer lost the capacity to speak when he saw Max his jaw almost dropped.

She was wearing a black dress with light-catching sequins and gleaming satin with an alluring low v-back detail, it was sleeveless and with a beautiful v-neck lace bodice with scattered sequins. The banded natural waistline looked perfect on her and the long satin skirt flared away from the hips before flowing to the floor. Side pockets complete the look of her elegant evening dress. Her hair was wavy and she was wearing black heels.

Spencer was speechless, and Max could notice it and her cheeks blushed a little but at the same time she smirked. She was pleased that her boyfriend was out of words.

"Hello Spence..." She walked to him and this made him break the spell he was in some minutes ago.

"Hey Max... You look amazing and beautiful" he smiled at her as she walked towards him "and I guess I got it right. My suit huh?"

His suit matched very well with her dress "well I'm wearing black baby. It fits perfectly with everything" she laughed softly.

"I brought this for you" he showed the flowers to her "as an apology for not being here all week"

She held them and lightly kissed him "first of all how did you know these are my favorite?"

"I'm a profiler baby" he said with a little smirk he just show her or when he won something.

"Of course you are" she laughed "and second... Spencer, you don't need to apology, you were doing your job and I know it's not easy"

"I know but I just feel like I have to apology. I missed you and the phone calls weren't enough for me"

"Yeah me neither but I love you and I know your job doesn't have a schedule" he hugged her then she went to get a flower vase.

Spencer noticed that Don was at the door, he was so into his conversation with Max that he did not listen to the door or notice him leaving the living room.

He laughed as Don was making the guys uncomfortable with his questions.

"Aww I remember when he did the same with mine and Michelle's dates" said Max wrapping her arms around him. Even with her heels he was too tall for her.

Her head was on his chest as she hugged him "Danielle let us use the third limousine her father hired"

"Really?"

"Yes, her parents were going to use it for tonight but when they decided not to go. They were about to cancel it but she told them Eloise's sister and her boyfriend will go, they accepted to not cancel"

"That's really nice of them"

"Yeah, I only was in a limousine twice. Both for my prom party in highschool and when I finished my degree"

"I just was in one on a case in L.A" she looked at him "it's a long story"

"Now I'm curious and you will tell me" he laughed and nodded.

"Ok I will"

After that all the guys arrived and Don played the angry father with the other kids and all of them were scared on the couch. Max and Spencer were holding their laugh as they looked at them.

When the girls were ready. They took some photos and left the Brenner house. Max and Spencer first so they could welcome the students.

When they arrived the principal greetings them and sent them to the gym where they will watch the kids.

It was decorating with everything Max designed and painted for them. Everything looked really good and the students started to arrive and the party began.

Spencer and Max were working but at the same time are and drank some of the food in the main table and Max convinced him to dance a few songs with her.

He even protected and helped two kids from bullies, using his magic abilities. He even got a few fans of his tricks.

Max was in awe as she saw everything. He was the nicest person and she could never get upset when he was busy at job. Of course she missed and needed him but watching him be nice with others and helping them was enough prove for her that he was where he belong.

The party was almost over and the band announced the last song. So Max convinced him once again to dance.

He accepted and they dance a slow song, it was an acoustic version of a N'sync song.

"I love this song" said Max as she dances closer to him "and now that I listen to it again. Everything it said is what I feel for you" she looked at him.

"I feel the same" he smiled at her "you are my miracle after what happened to me before we met"

"Same" she laid her head on his chest as they dance.

The lights were light blue and were low, the band turned on the smoke machine and the gym looked like the sky, blue and with a little layer of "clouds" on the floor.

Max and Spencer shared a light kiss before the song ended, everyone in the gym clapped their hands excited because the performance was perfect. The principal went on the stage and announced that the homecoming was officially over.

The students began to leave saying goodbye to the teachers and Spencer and Max.

When they all Max and Spencer left too in the limousine and went to the Brenner's house.

The couple decided to stay there that night. He left his dry laundry in his car so he watched some of it and stayed in Max old room.

It was his first homecoming and it was a successful day thank to Max. He truly loved her and wanted to make her feel happy.

Peter Parker's Day Off

This story is for the @friendly-neighborhood-exchange and my giftee is @avengersincamphalfbloodstardis so I hope you like it!

Before anyone draws comparisons between this and the fic @marvelous-writer posted a few weeks ago, we've already gotten it worked out, so go read her fic after mine!

Editing and cover credits go to @clover-roseee!

And now, on with the story!

Peter groaned as he woke up, and tried to force himself awake as Morgan jumped the end of his bed again. "I'm up, Morg, I'm up," he replied as rubbed his eyes, forcing himself to sit up. His body and head felt heavy, and he had that general sick feeling, so despite how much Morgan's excitement tended to rub off on him, it didn't this time. In fact, Peter wasn't even sure how he could be excited when his chest was tight and his nose was so stuffed up.

Morgan didn't seem to pick up on how he was feeling, though. "Come on, Petey!" she instead insisted, before hopping off his bed and running out of his room. "Daddy's making blueberry pancakes before we go to the zoo!"

The trip to the zoo had been planned for weeks, and Pepper had even taken a day off to come with (which was a rarity in itself). May had gotten held up at the hospital, too, so it was perfect timing that he stayed with the Starks for the first week of spring break; but while he really wanted to see Morgan lose her mind over lions, tigers, and birds, he still couldn't shake the sick feeling from his body.

"Come on, Petey! Daddy's making blueberry pancakes before we go to the zoo!" She insisted before running out of his room, singing about the trip.

Grabbing his bathrobe off of his closet door, Peter wrapped it around his shoulders and tried to regain some body heat before shuffling down the stairs. The smell of pancakes hit him as he went into the hall, and he knew immediately that his senses were in overdrive.

When he finally made it to the dining room, Morgan was going over some facts she had learned about lions for a school project and Pepper was looking at the news on her phone, but looked up when she saw Peter sit at the table. "Are you alright, sweetheart?" she asked, upon seeing his pale face, and the thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Peter started to respond, but instead let out a harsh cough into his elbow. That was enough of a reason for Pepper to get up from the table in search of the thermometer. Meanwhile, Morgan got up from her chair and ran into the kitchen area. "Daddy!" she exclaimed, "Petey's sick!"

Flipping the last few pancakes on to the large serving plate, Tony cleaned his hands with a dry washcloth and turned the stove off. Then, once that was done, he turned his attention to Peter and, with Morgan tagging along behind him, made his way over. "See!" Morgan repeated. "He's sick!"

"Yeah, I definitely see what you're talking about." Tony ruffled Morgan's hair before placing a hand against Peter's forehead. "And that's definitely a fever." He sighed before looking down at his daughter. "Sorry, Morguna. Looks like the zoo is gonna have to wait for a few days."

"But we have to go, Daddy!" Morgan fought back. "Mommy took the day off and everything!" Just as it looked like that Tony would have to deal with a tantrum at eight thirty in the morning, Pepper came back in the room with the ear thermometer and gently inserted it into Peter's ear. "Mommy, we have to go to the zoo!"

"Morgan's right," Peter agreed, receiving an enthusiastic grin from her. "I mean, you did take the day off to go with her to the zoo…"

Pepper looked skeptical. "I don't know. I don't feel comfortable leaving you here by yourself."

"Then how about Mr. Stark stays with me?" Peter proposed, taking a moment to cough into his elbow. Pepper, in return, placed a hand on his back. "You guys can send us pictures, and it'll feel like we're right there with you."

Pepper looked to her husband. "Tony? Are you okay with this?" she asked, as the thermometer beeped. She took it out and sighed when the reading revealed Peter had a temperature of 101.8. "Staying here with Peter?"

"'Course. I've got the spider kid, you two go have fun," Tony insisted, before leaning forward and kissing his wife's cheek. "Like he said, just send us lots of photos. Maybe let Morgan feed a giraffe while you're there, too."

Pepper broke apart from the kiss, and went over to grab her tote bag with her sunglasses, camera and Morgan's change purse full of nickels and pennies. "Alright, try and have a good day," she said, after slipping her shoes on. "Feel better, Peter."

Morgan ran up and hugged Tony tightly, and did the same to Peter before heading outside to the car, with Pepper following closely behind. When the car pulled out of the driveway, Tony turned to the resident sick kid. "So, how does crashing on the couch and watching some Star Wars sound?"

"Can we watch something else? I'm regretting getting Morgan obsessed with it," Peter spoke as he stood up from the table, trying to force the sudden headache that was building behind his eyes.

"Yeah, sure. Whatever you want," Tony insisted as Peter shuffled over to the couch and grabbed the remote. "We should probably get you some Tylenol, though."

Peter nodded, starting to scroll through Netflix. Since Morgan preferred Disney+, he knew he would probably find something he wasn't sick of on there. But his vision was going in in and out, and starting to get spotty, and he was fighting every bone in his body in order to stay awake.

Suddenly Tony appeared beside him, and Peter distantly wondered how he did it. "Here," he said, pouring three white tablets into Peter's right hand, and swapping the remote for a bottle of blue Gatorade with the other. "Take that, and go to bed, kid. I'll find something to watch, you look exhausted."

Dropping the pills into his mouth and washing it down with a swig of Gatorade, Peter wiped his mouth on the sleeve of his bathrobe before doing what he was told. Tony's taste in movies was often better than Morgan's or Pepper's anyway, so he let himself relax and, feeling a blanket being draped over him, allowed the music of whatever Tony had picked lull him to sleep.

•••

"So, what do you wanna see first?" Pepper asked her daughter, as the two climbed out of the car doors. They had spent a little over half an hour driving, and Pepper already had the online map on her phone all ready and set-up. Knowing her daughter, though, she'd probably want to see more of the cuddly animals first, before going to see the creepier ones.

"Hmm…" Morgan hummed and tilted her head as she thought. She definitely wanted to go see the lions, but she was also wondering if they had a penguin exhibit, and maybe a snake one, too. "I dont know! Can we go see the dolphins? Please?"

"Sure." Pepper smiled and gently grasped her daughter's hand in hers, before they made their way inside. "And then we'll go feed the giraffe, like your dad wanted to. Sound good?" She verbalized the plan, trying to make it stick in Morgan's head, but, in reality, she was just wanting to spend some much needed time with her daughter. It was always a rarity when she was able to take time off, and she wanted to make the most of it.

Morgan nodded, but the period of silence was broken by her stopping in front of the snake exhibit. "Mommy, look!" she shouted, bouncing on her heels giddily. "Can we look at these first? Please?"

"Of course." Pepper nodded, took her camera out of her bag, and watched as one of the exhibit employees, per Morgan's request, placed a boa constrictor around her shoulders. "Say cheese on three, sweetie!"

•••

When Peter woke up on the couch, he felt like he could barely breathe through his nose, and could feel the intensity of the pressure in his head. Then, sitting up, he glanced around the room, before trying to peer into the kitchen. "Mr. Stark?" he asked, the stuffiness having apparently spread to his voice with how nasally he sounded. "Are you here?"

"In the kitchen!" the stay at home dad called back. Sighing and flopping back on to the couch, Peter re-covered himself with the blanket Tony draped over him, before he heard a "Shit, that's hot!" and the man himself appeared in the doorway. "Okay," he announced, as he walked over to his sick kid, "I've got good news and bad news. Which do you want first?"

Peter smirked. "What's the bad news?"

"Bad news," Tony explained, as he set a plate of soggy charcoal-coloured toast on the table, "is that I burnt your toast, and put too much butter on; so, it's kinda ruined now, kid."

Peter chuckled, as he sat up and, despite how terrible the toast looked, took a bite from it. 'At least Tony tried,' he thought. "And the good news?" he asked.

"The good news is that I ordered soup for later—don't look at me like that!—and that I did manage to make sure your Gatorade stayed cold," Tony said, as he set the half-full Gatorade on the coffee table, right beside where the plate previously was. Then, he had taken a seat near the sick teen's feet and patted his knee. "But, it doesn't matter now. How're you feeling, Pete?"

Peter sat up a bit to place the soggy toast beside the Gatorade, and laid back down against his pillows. "My head still hurts," he muttered, trying to warm himself up as he buried himself beneath the blanket, "'nd I've been kinda feeling sick. There's no other medicine I can take, right?"

Tony shook his head. "'Fraid not, kiddo. And, even if there was, I don't wanna give you mixed medications and have to take you to a hospital, so it's not gonna happen."

Peter groaned.

"But, what I can do is let you see all the pictures Pepper sent me of Morgan." Tony smiled as he pulled out his phone, and swiped on over to his 'Messages' section. "There's even one of her holding a boa constrictor, if you wanna see it."

Peter shook his head, remembering his very bad experience with a snake from years ago. "I think I'll pass on that," he said, before sitting up and glancing over Tony's shoulder. "But is there one of her with a penguin? Or a giraffe?"

Tony nodded, as he passed the phone over, and adjusted the two of them, so Peter was leaning against his side, with his head on his chest. "Oh, yeah," he replied. "Third and fifth one in. My personal favourites, though, are the ones with the sloths and otters."

In response, Peter yawned, and, after scrolling through all the photos, gave the phone back to Tony. He was getting exhausted again, and assumed, as he buried his head into his mentor's chest, that Tony had moved on to watching the videos Pepper had sent him, so he shut his eyes and allowed Morgan's excited squeals to lull him back into a peaceful sleep.

•••

"Alright, honey," Pepper said, smiling, as she fished Morgan's change purse out of her tote bag, "you can pick one thing out from the gift shop, and then we're going to head home." She held her daughter's hand as they approached the small gift shop, located back at the entrance. She was thankful she hadn't lost her daughter when they were visiting the exhibits, but if there was one place where she would lose her, then it was definitely the gift shop.

Morgan took her change purse from her mother's hand, and looked up at her, pleadingly. "Can I get something for Petey, too?" she asked with her adorable, wide eyes. "He's sick and we can get something to make him feel better!"

"Nothing fragile," Pepper negotiated, "and nothing made of glass. Otherwise, you can go nuts and get whatever you want. Deal?" She held her hand up for a high five.

"Deal!" Morgan exclaimed excitedly, as she returned the high-five. Unfortunately, Morgan was five, and that meant she was still rather small, so the high-five ended up being one of those off-beat ones, where they missed each other and ended up mostly slapping the air instead. Pepper still smiled, though, and watched as Morgan made a B-line for the stuffed animals.

'That's a good idea,' she thought to herself. 'Peter would probably prefer cuddling one of those instead of a rubber snake, anyway.'

•••

"Daddy, Daddy, we're home!" Morgan announced, a little over forty-five minutes later, before she slipped off her shoes and bright yellow leather rainjacket at the door. Then, she had resumed running into the kitchen, where she wrapped her arms around her dad's legs. "Mommy and I saw penguins, and sloths, I got to hold a snake!"

Setting down the knife he was using to chop up the peppers and celery, Tony had then dried his hands with a washcloth, before turning and giving his full attention to his daughter. "That's great, Morguna," he replied, as he kneeled down to her level and planted a small kiss atop her head. "But you'll have to tell me everything when Peter wakes up, okay? He still doesn't feel so good, and he needs a lot of rest to get better."

"Okay!" Morgan agreed, happily, before she pulled a grey and white ovaloid object out of her little purse. "We got him a penguin!" She exclaimed, enthusiastically bouncing on her heels once more. "Do you think he'll like it? I hope he likes it!"

Tony nodded, as he ran his hand through his daughter's messy brown hair. "I'm sure he'll love it, Morguna."

"Now, go wash your hands, okay?" Pepper said, as she came up behind her daughter and gently nudged her towards the bathroom. In response, Morgan did as she was told, and Pepper took that chance to heave the groceries up on to the counter, and started putting them away. "Morgan insisted we get juice pops for Peter," she explained, as she opened the freezer and stuffed the box of popsicles inside. "How did things go at home today?"

"Pretty good. He's gotten a bit better since you guys left, but he told me he was feeling sick, so we'll have to keep an eye on him tonight."

"Alright." Pepper smiled and put up the last of the groceries before turning to her husband. "I'm gonna sit in there till dinner is ready." She planted a quick kiss against Tony's cheek before sitting in the armchair that was beside the couch Peter was asleep on, and started to go through some files on her laptop. Days off were always a rarity for her, so she wanted to transfer the photos to her phone, so she could look at them while she was at work.

She looked up when she heard a rustling noise, only to see Morgan come in with the stuffed penguin and put it under Peter's right arm before climbing on the couch and curling up next to him. Watching as Peter unconsciously wrapped his left arm around Morgan, Pepper smiled and waited until her daughter's eyes closed to take a picture.

She'd be thanked, later.

39. Part 4

Jasmine looked at me in shock “but why though?” I couldn’t help but kind of laugh “because” Leyton walked over to us “I need to pee” nodding my head “go and pee then” taking his backpack from him “he will be handsome when he grows up but why the fuck are we going Greyhound? Bitch what?” turning to Jasmine “so if you can see in my hand I have a duffle bag, in that duffle bag I took Cassius money” Jasmine gasped “so I don’t want to be questioned, I rather go the long way and besides. I guess it will be fine” Jasmine stared at me all wide eyed “you took that money? Like that money, the you know money?” nodding my had, she gasped again “you took the money, oh my god. That is thousands, oh shit. Oh now I am nervous. Sofia!” Jasmine is scared for nothing “just trust me, it’s better off this way. And besides it will be fun” Jasmine sighed out all wide eyed “this is deep but fun, wow. So we can spend that” I smiled at her “let’s have fun” there is so much money that it makes me sweat “oh girl, he is going to be so shook when he wakes up. But you pregnant, all that journey is not good” Leyton ran back over to us “there is a lot of breaks, it’s fine. I rather be anywhere than be near him. Ok so you done? You want to get some snacks and whatever? Hold your shit” passing him his backpack back to him “Leyton, do not walk off like that. I have no phone either” he put his backpack on “I won’t” he walked off again “where is your phone bitch?” Jasmine doesn’t know half it “well I left it with your brother” Jasmine gasped again “he will harass me now” I knew that “also, I left him a nice note, I hope he likes Beyonce” I sniggered walking off to get some snacks for myself.

I shot up in bed out of breath, wiping the sweat from my forehead “fuck” I said to myself as I laid back on the bed, that must have been a bad dream. Wiping the sweat from my forehead again and then resting my arm out. She still won’t sleep in a bed with me, I won’t really do shit with her if she thinks that but it is what it is. Kicking the covers off of me, I have more pressing issues like that hit in Atlanta happening. Getting up out of bed and sitting on the edge of the bed sighing out, I have really sweated out. Wiping my face reaching over to grab my phone, grabbing my phone and bringing it into my eye-view “huh” I said confused staring down at this phone, this is not mine. Looking at the side table seeing two stacks of money “the fuck” grabbing the money from the side, I froze seeing the engagement ring and a note. Looking back at the phone and then at the ring, placing the money on the bed and the phone. Grabbing the note from the side, opening the note up and a picture fell out of. Reaching down and picking the picture up from the floor, turning it around seeing the scan picture of my son. I swallowed hard placing it at the side of me, reading the note.

By the time you’re reading this I am gone, you should be glad I wasted my time writing this but I did. I am leaving you, I don’t want you, I don’t want your money, oh wait. I do. I took your money, hopefully those stacks is a thank you and will last you until you get the next call for money.

Looking behind me, I shot up out of bed throwing the letter on the floor and rushing to the corner of my room “bitch!” she took the money, I know she better not have fucking left me. Grabbing my sweatpants from the floor, quickly putting them on and dragging the door open. Running down the steps, she took the money. I needed that fucking money, running down the second pair of steps “move” I said to Bryce and rushed into the living room “Sofia, I know you better be here” walking into the living room “she ain’t here” my dad said ever so calmly “you what?” I said to him “Sofia gone boy, and Jasmine. They gone to Atlanta” grabbing the paper from out of his hands “you better be fucking wrong” throwing it at him before walking off. Running up the stairs, I know she didn’t leave me. Running to Jasmine’ room, trying to open it “who the fuck put locks in this house” stepping back before kicking the door, it didn’t move “Cassius, stop it” my mom said behind me, kicking at the door again before it even moved to open. Pushing open the broken door, looking around the bedroom. She has gone, she has taken her make up so she has really gone because Jasmine won’t leave without that. Looking on the bed seeing my hoodie on the bed, this is mine and Sofia would wear that “Cassius” my mom coyly walked into the bedroom “where is she? You know, I know you know!” I pointed at her “I just know they have gone to Atlanta, they left this morning. Early morning” walking closer to my mom “and you fucking knew? All this time you was plotting? She fucking took my sister with her and my money!” punching the door “get out of my way!” I spat, my mom moved to the side.

Pressing my phone to my ear as it rang out, I know she ain’t doing this right now “what’s up?” Kyle took his damn time with picking his phone up “I want you to go to my home, Sofia should be there. Find out, she fucking took my money and then when you see her get that money from her!” I am so angry and then she leaves me “woah, woah, woah! What has happened?” Kyle said “she left me and then took my money!” the phone line went quiet “did she find out what you did to her dad?” kissing my teeth “fucking no! Just find out and fucking call me, she should be there!” disconnecting the call, why don’t niggas listen. I have a hit going on there and she is fucking there “fuck!” throwing my phone on the floor, rubbing my face. I know she didn’t do this to me, I am so fucking angry right now. Seeing the note on the floor, picking it up. Let me finish this shit.

I’ll be in Atlanta or whatever, but I just want you to know that this is not a joke. Every word that came out of your mouth to me will be the reason why you will be crying and not me, you would think I should have been stronger towards my mother but I loved you, I love you so much that I gave myself to you. You know what Cassius like Beyonce says I will be far away, I'm far away but I ain't fucking with nobody and trust me when I say that me and my baby, we going to be alright, we going to live a good life. You will only want me when I'm not there and if you want your dick sucked you better call my cousin. You will always get second best, Bye Cassius.

Screwing the paper up, she left me “are you calm yet?” looking up at my mother “I feel sorry for any nigga that gets in my way, I am going to kill. You are liar, I fucking hate liars and you are lying to my face. You fucking knew she was leaving me, you’re my mother! Are you stupid?” what is wrong with her “you need to see how you are being Cassius, it’s not nice. Jasmine told me she slapped you and you gripped her arm, this is not a life. She is pregnant Cassius” my mom is irritating me “you know what, you fucking give me the money you have! Now, that is my money, you fucking piss me off and lie to me behind my back. Get out of my room” I am so angry, when I know she is there then I am going to Atlanta and sorting her out, she is being stupid for no reason.

My mom glared at me, she is angry with me “you always break this house, you always fucking do it” I trashed my room but I needed to get my anger out “Kyle” answering the phone “there is no Sofia here, I have been watching and waiting for over four hours now. Nothing” disconnecting the call, looking at my mom “where is she, where the fuck is Sofia! Where is she with my fucking money!” I shouted “shout at me again, boy you better not shout at me again Cassius. Ask me nicely” I swear to god she tests me, I paused for a moment “where is Sofia?” I asked nicely “I don’t know now shut up” I fucking knew she was going to do that, fucking Jasmine has her phone. Tapping on my contacts, scrolling down to Jasmine and tapping her name “this is on you, if she doesn’t answer I will be fucking killing someone” Josiah sighed out, pressing the phone to my ear as it rang out “she left you because you was acting like a big man and you now want to kill us” slapping the back of his head “the bitch isn’t picking up, I want that money from you. I want all three million from you!” I pointed at my mom, she is walking with my money.

“He is a grown man, I can’t control him” hearing my dad say “you damn right, I will beat your ass too. You made this, you wanted this and here I am now fucking get me my money back. Jasmine, where is she because if I find her” I will end up doing something I regret “you have been so engrossed in your money that you have lost something so priceless Cassius, while you have been banging things, shouting abuse at everyone. Scaring Bryce that he is crying and Josiah had to take him out, you are acting so blind sided by money that you have lost your son and you are in denial Cassius. You think about that money, that is all you will see. I am a bad guy Cassius but I heard all of your first cries now you will get that money back but you won’t get that moment back” my dad said to me “shut the fuck up” I walked off, I don’t need someone like him preaching to me when he fucked me up “you’re a shit person, and you talking to me about love and shit, fuck you!” walking back up the steps, she told me to go to Celine “I will make everyone in this house cry, you better get your fucking daughter on that phone now!” I shouted, I am going to kill Jasmine.

Staring down at the scan picture Sofia left me, placing the photo to the side of me and grabbing Sofia’ phonee. The fact I don’t know where they gone, either of them but I know my mom does. Maybe there is clues on her phone, tapping in the password and it unlocked just like that. With the way Mia and her friends are speaking in the group chat, they do not know where she is. I have been seeing the pop ups that come up, tapping on her messages and then seeing that she has been texting Jasmine. Tapping the messages, scrolling down a little “sorry that happened to you, I did think he was going to harm you” I read out to myself what my sister wrote “I think he was close, I don’t know what stopped him but don’t be sorry. I will sleep in the bed with you, will wait until he has gone to sleep or has gone. He is staring at me” Sofia wrote and that is it, not a single clue. My burner phone started ringing, unknown number too but I answered “yo” placing Sofia’ phone down at the side of me “we outside, we need to do clean up and some meetings. Them Latino’s are after your blood” Wheezy said “coming” disconnecting the call, I have had such a bad day that my enemies are going to beg me for forgiveness cause they going to get it.

“Oh wow mom, that is really going to make me want to come home, that is not cool at all. Can’t you control him?” Jasmine said at the side of me, clearly speaking to her mom. Cassius has done nothing but call her phone, maybe I should have kept Jasmine out of this “I will and mom, just please be careful with him. He will get over it” I have not let go of this duffle bag and I can’t, it’s just not something I want to let go and lose “well Cassius wants to kill me, not even you. Me” looking over at Jasmine “that bad?” I said, she nodded her head “he is making everyone’s life hell, trashing things. He’s worked out that you’re not going Atlanta, yay?” I had to laugh “he’s kicked off saying about what you took, my mom said he’s very much in denial about things and is obsessing over something else. She said he has screwed the note up several times and threw it, he keeps reading it and then getting angry at it. We’re ok, nobody knows but what did you put in the note? Why didn’t you show me” laughing at myself “I find myself funny, don’t mind me” I just knew that his money would get to him “you know when I said Beyonce, I quoted lyrics from Sorry to his ass” Jasmine gasped “you keep shocking me Sofia, oh my god please tell me you quoted the last verse?” nodding my head “of course I did” I laughed “we should so do a video of you singing now you wanna say you're sorry, now you wanna call me crying. Oh my gosh! This is hilarious, I mean yeah that would piss any guy off” I couldn’t help myself doing that “I ain’t sorry” I said looking out of the window.

I thank god for these breaks, cause that enclosure of that bus is not doing it. I need to stretch my legs out “please tell me we are catching a flight back?” Jasmine walked back with Leyton “we will be, promise. You look so sleepy” touching Leyton’ face “just a little, Jasmine keeps saying I will be handsome when I grow up” I chuckled “you will be, but you will be a good boy. I want you to be better than me, or anyone for that matter. I know you can do it” I will try my best to make sure he does “he can be whoever he wants to be, he got a dope sister. Like you lucky to have her, I wish I had a sister. Living with boys is not good” Jasmine said “how come Cassius didn’t come?” Leyton had to ask “he is busy, he couldn’t come” I don’t want him to know my issues “that is not good, Sofia. Why can’t I live closer to you, I can’t see you when you’re in Atlanta?” shaking my head “I can’t look after you, auntie said she will and that is what you do. You go school, and you can then stay over at the home” I refuse to have Leyton be another problem for me.

Just a Table Ch. 4

Finally, the next part of my newest Fan fiction. Real life hit me a little, so sorry for the delay. I hope you enjoy it anyway. Reviews are welcome as always!

I'm pregnant....and it's yours" For nearly ten seconds all the colors drained from Jai's face, then it changed to pure rage. "Don't be ridiculous; we haven't been together for months!" She smiled. "3 months to be exact, and I'm 14 weeks pregnant. You ARE the father!" Jai scoffed and dragged me to the elevator "May I remember you, that you were so afraid of getting pregnant, that we even with you taking the pill, always used condoms? If not the doubtful case happened, that both failed - and I can't remember a broken condom - then this is not mine!" The elevator doors closed and left a stunned Kat behind.

Jai stood on the other end with his head held down. He clung to the railing so hard; his knuckles turned white. Suddenly he roared out and kicked the wall with all his power. "This woman really knows how to push my buttons, I have no idea, what I've done to deserve this!" I let him act out his anger and stayed behind.

When we arrived at his flat, he threw his keys in a corner, followed by his shoes. Anxious he wandered thru the room "what if she really has my Baby? I don't want to let the Kid down!" I sighed, scooped the keys out of the corner, placed his shoes beside the door and let myself fall onto the bench at the table. "Didn't you just say it couldn't be yours?" He leans on the kitchen counter "I'm pretty sure... I think so... Damn, I don't keep a book every time I slept with my girlfriend!" he sat down beside me. "Kat has nothing to do with Kids, she doesn't even like them. Every time Indy and her brother were visiting us, she left for her parents, and when we flew to Sydney for them, she always stayed in the background, never played with them. I just had to start talking about Kids, and she instantly throws a fit. Kat said, we had plenty of time for that, and she didn't want to 'ruin' her shape for them just yet." he put the word 'ruin' into exclamation marks with his fingers. I looked at him with a crooked head. "You want to have Kids?" Jai nodded weakly "Would love to have a family in the not so far future. I don't want to be an old Dad. I know it's not that easy with a job like mine, so I would always make sure that they won't miss me too much. But think I can skip that now" He looked really miserable, and it broke my heart to see him like this.

I just opened my mouth to said something reassuringly, when a loud and obnoxious banging started on the door. Jai rolled his eyes "ready to rumble again!" He opened the door, and Kat stormed inside. "How dare you to leave me alone down there!" she hissed, and Jai scowled at her. "Welcome, please come in!" he said sarcastically. Unimpressed she crossed him and threw her handbag on the table beside me. "So that you know what's up, I have a few terms you have to agree to." Jai looked at her completely stunned "Terms? You have terms? I don't think..." I stood up, went to Jai and laid my hand on his arm. "wait, let's hear what she has to say" I winked at him and took my cell phone, there was something I suddenly remembered. "Yeah, listen to your little ladylove, Jai" He crunched his teeth, "OK, tell me"

A smug smile spread across her face. "Good, these are my conditions: First, we are going to be seen in public together again. I'll accompany you to every Shooting, every premiere, every event. We don't want that something like this" she pointed her finger at me "happened ever again, don't we?" again, Jai wanted to say something, but I held him back with a shake of my head. "Please, let her finish" Kat nodded at me nearly appreciative, only to destroy it a second later "Thanks, whatever your name is" I had to cover a grin, she really was a handful. Let's see how long it lasts. "Second: I'm going to move back in, or we will look for a house together, you do not want that your child grows up in such a single dump, right?" Now I had to held Jai down with all my strength so he couldn't jump at her throat "Easy big boy, just a few more minutes" I looked back at Kat. "May I ask how long are you aware that you are pregnant?" Kat looked at me questioning "This is none of your concern" Now Jai jumped in "But it is mine! so, how long?" "Don't know, four weeks I think. I wanted to wait until the critical first 3 months are over, so I can be sure not to lose it" Great, this was the answer I was hoping for. Jai looked at me doubtfully, then back to Kat "That's all?" She shook her head "Just one more thing: I want her" again she pointed at me, "out of your life, completely! You are throwing her out, delete her number, and make sure that you do not meet again." Jai laughed humorlessly "And how should I do this? She's working for the same studios as I most of the time!" Kat just shrugged "I don't care, you are the famous actor here, do something about it. You will fulfill all my conditions, or the tabloids, the studios, directors, production companies and all your oh so precious fans will learn to know how bad you treated your pregnant ex-girlfriend. I think I can remember how you forced me to get an abortion"

Jai and me were amazed. She was absolutely ready for the utmost. But she wasn't the only one with a plan. Confident that she already won, Kat sat down on Jai's Laptop. "I see, we all agree. I would say you Jai, can call the mover, and I will look out for a real estate agent. And you," again she was pointing at me "go pack up your stuff and get the hell out of here." Neither Jai or me moved an inch. Her cell phone ringed, but she wasn't paying attention. I crossed my Armes in front of my chest and smiled "I think you better should look at that." Annoyed Kat picked up her phone, unlocked it and was cringing instantly. "what... What is that, where did you get this from?" Her once so calm and smug features turned into sheer panic. Now I was grinning from ear to ear. There, on her cell phone, three very revealing party pics of her, drinking heavily just a few days ago, were showing. "Maybe you should be careful when you're out and about."

I showed Jai the same photos on my phone. He stared at them in anger. Suddenly he grabbed Kat by her arms and shoved her out of the door. "Don't you dare ever approaching me again. If I see any of your accusations in public, just a glimpse or rumor going around of this, I swear to god, I sue you into oblivion. I think my lawyer will be very very interested in this." with that, he nearly smacked the door in her face. Jai lends on the closed door. "I can't believe she really tried to blackmail me! But please tell me, where did you get those pictures from?" Smiling I showed him a friends facebook page. "Kat was on a private Party a few days ago, where he was too. I remembered that the moment she said she was about 3 Month pregnant. Even Kat isn't so reckless with an unborn" He hugged me tightly. "Damn girl, you literally saved my life!"

3 weeks later my arm was fully healed. No more surgery was necessary, but a scar would be left. We hadn't heard anything more from Kat, it seems she was too afraid of a lawsuit.

I was just packing my last things, when Jai appears in the doorway, looking a little sad. "It will be very lonely around here without you" I smiled at him "well, now you can do what you want again, no more caretaking for me" Two, three long strides and Jai stood in front of me, tugging me into his Armes. He looked deep into my eyes "Honestly, there is just one thing I want to do right now" The next second his warm, soft lips pressed on mine. Without thinking about it, I kissed back. Jai's Armes sneaked around my back, and his hands gently stroked down till they laid on my hips. Seconds later I ended the kiss breathless and laid my forehead to his. "You have no idea how long I dreamed about this" he whispered softly, stroking my Nose with his. "Please, don't go!" I shook my head slightly "I'm sorry, but I have to" Confused he took a step back. I took his hand and set down on the bed with him. "Look, I want that as much as you do, believe me. But you just came out of a long relationship. Sometimes people fell in a black hole after that, and search for a distraction." Now he nearly went furious. "What do you think of me? I would never... " again I kissed him softly. "Only the best, believe me. I just want us to be on the same page about this." Jai looked at me pleadingly "We are! You aren't a distraction, please believe me!" I caressed his cheek "I do! Look, I'm going to New York for two weeks tomorrow. Let's use this to get clear about our feelings towards each other. Go out to a party, meet other women, do whatever you want, and if your feelings are still the same in two weeks time, you pick me up from the airport, ok?" He nodded. "if that's what you want" "it will be good for both of us."

He went to the door with me, hugged and kissed me one more time lovingly. "I'll see you in two weeks, you won't miss me, I'm the big guy with a bouquet of red roses waiting for you!" I laughed and went back to my apartment.

During my time in NY, we avoid any contact, which was very hard for me, to be honest. I missed Jai and was pretty sure about a relationship with him. The whole flight back home I couldn't think about anything else, couldn't wait to see him again, at the same time, I was terrified that his feelings would have changed.

The moment I arrived at the airport, I looked around for Jai, but couldn't find him. I waited for 10 minutes, then 20, ran around from baggage reclaim to the terminal exit and back, but no sight of him. Devasted I called a Cab and went back to my place. A pity, I was really sure that there was something between us. Tired I laid down on my cold, nearly unfamiliar bed. Just before I fell asleep, I remembered that my phone had died down a few hours ago. I plugged it into the charger and turned it on. Suddenly a dozen missed calls, and even more messages popped up on the screen. Ben, Sophie and oddly enough James, had tried to reach me. When I opened the first message from Ben, my heart stopped working: "(y/n), please call me urgently, Jai had an accident!"...

Shuttermoon Mobile Phone Lens Kit Review

Price: ?/5 stars

i don't know the price cus my dad got me them

Quality: 4/5 stars

every component works as advertised in hot, cold, humid, and dry weather.

my polarised filter cracked when i dropped it about six months after getting my first set, but that was my own fault because I dropped it. however, from the start it would squeak when spun, which was unpleasant.

the telephoto lens unscrews separately from where it screws onto the base and I had several near misses with almost losing components of it because of that. using it always made me nervous because i had trouble knowing which part i was unscrewing when it was time to put it away.

i had no problems with the quality of any other components. the clip itself never seemed to wear out and was just as strong the day i lost it as it was the day i got it. however, i still think that shuttermoon should sell replacement clips separately because (1) i lost mine, and (2) a lot of my photography happens when i dont necessarily expect to take photos, of wildlife and things that dont care to keep posing for me, so being able to keep both my macro and telephoto lenses on a clip and ready to go at all times would be nice, so that i dont have to choose between bugs and birds every morning.

Ease of use: 3/5 stars

dont get me wrong, this is still a huge step up from my previous setup (a lens of unknown specifications that i scavenged from a broken digital camera and would painstakingly scotch-tape over my phone camera and carry around in that tiny pocket all pairs of jeans have for some reason)

that being said... oof.

the macro lens: this lens is almost impossibly difficult to unscrew from the clip. i would recommend that shuttermoon put a grip around the outer edge of the macro lens and wide angle attachment just like they did for the polarising filter, because these lenses are just too thin otherwise.

the case: the foam insert does a good job of keeping the lenses in place for about two weeks, but with heavy use, the foam loses its elasticity and the lenses start falling out of their slots when the case is worn on a belt loop.

similarly, the lens cloth is held in a mesh insert in the top half of the case, and it often slips out of there as well, which is annoying to deal with because i am often in quite a rush and id prefer that my lens cloth not blow away in the wind.

i would recommend that shuttermoon add a second way to keep the lenses in place besides just relying on the stiffness of the foam insert, such as an elastic strap over the lenses or another foam insert on the opposite side of the case to hold them in their slots.

It would also be nice to have a designated slot for the wide angle attachment, for times when I'm just using the macro lens, but i understand that there is limited space in the case.

phone case: for clarity's sake, i'm talking about my own separate phone case, and not anything included in this kit. this isn't any reflection on the kit itself, it's just a word of advice to anyone hoping to use lenses on their phone.

you want a phone case that will allow unimpeded access to the camera, at the same level as the camera. these lenses work best when the clip can push them all the way against your camera. if you do not choose a phone case that allows this, you will need to have a pocket open for your phone case whenever you do photography, and be prepared to take your phone case on and off a lot. if youre scared of breaking your case when you take it on and off, then smartphone lenses might not be a good investment at this time.

Accessibility: ?/5 stars

i am mostly writing this section to say that these lenses are not a good fit for someone with fine motor control impairments due to the small size of the parts and the fact that you have to screw them together. i have tiny fingers and these still give me trouble sometimes, especially the macro lens.

if you got three more clips separately, replaced the case's caribiner with a larger one (or a more accessible way to attach it to your belongings), and found a way to make the itty-bitty zipper pull larger, you might be able to use it anyway. this is all assuming that you had a way to screw each lens onto one clip in the first place, but you'd still need to contend with the lens caps and the ordeal of aligning the lens with your phone's camera once clipped on. and unless your phone case is very thin or your phone's camera sticks out slightly, you will probably need to remove your case in order to use these lenses.

if you have ADHD/executive functioning issues: these lenses are either a perfect dream or your worst nightmare.

the dream scenario: you can take the photos you want without needing to lug a camera around or worry about memory cards. the case stays attached to your bag for when you need it because you forget to take it off.

the nightmare scenario: you dont read the instructions because its already noon when you remember you have these lenses and youre impatient to start. you take them outside to take photos and eventually figure out that the macro lens unscrews from another piece. you stick that piece in your pocket and screw the macro lens onto the clip. you try to line the lens up with your camera and realise youll have to take off your phone case to make it work. you set your phone case down because you already have that other lens piece in your pocket and you dont want it to go flying out later when you yank your case out of your pocket. besides, youll be right here, so you can just pick the case back up when youre done. you amble along the edge of a little meadow taking photos of flowers and having a blast. the sun is setting. crickets are chirping. its dark out and there is no moon. your phone is running low on battery. you look down at the lens case and realise you didnt zip it back up before clipping it back onto your belt. every single component aside from the foam insert has fallen out, gone forever. you realise you left your phone case on the ground a few hundred feet back. you backtrack, looking for the missing components, and find the lens cap for the fisheye lens. your phone case has disappeared, invisible in the tall grass at night. you walk home with your phone in your hand (youre certain you had a reason to keep your case out of your pocket), utterly defeated. you wear the same jeans for a few more weeks and then wash them, and the wide angle attachment piece disappears without you even remembering it existed. the clip with the macro lens sits on your desk, forgotten about. you never go through the photos you took that day to choose the best ones.

can you tell im more of a writer than a photographer? anyway,

Happiness with the product: 5/5 stars

i am thrilled with these lenses. i was devastated when i lost my clip a few months ago. last night, a year after he gave me my first set, my dad handed me a new set and the packaging asked for reviews, and i had gotten so much joy and beauty out of these lenses that i decided to write this post.

Chapter 9

MCs POV

It's been 2 months since Jake had to leave 2 months since my heart got ripped out and smashed all over the ground. I haven't heard from him since he left. I cry myself to sleep every night. I pray that he is still alive and will contact me soon but that day just never comes. Jake's parents have been kind enough to let me stay even though Jake's not here. Baby Harry has been my rock since his daddy left. He's kept me from completely falling apart. Everything about him reminds me of Jake, his cute little smile, his bright blue eyes. The little strands of black hair on his head.

I've spent most of my day with tears streaming down my face, my heart is completely broken. How the hell do I even go on without him? I need him so much he's the only person I have ever truly loved and he's been ripped away from me. I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around in hope that maybe he has come back. "Jake? Jake is that you?" As I turn round my heart shatters into a million prices. "Oh hunni I'm so sorry" Helen sits down next to me and holds me while I cry my eyes out for the millionth time today. I haven't slept properly in the time Jake has been gone. I can't sleep without him next to me.

Jake's POV

I am currently hiding out in an abandoned warehouse, it's been 2 months now since I last saw and talked to MC. My heart breaks every time I think of how I left her. I love her so much. Why did I have to be so stupid and find those files anyway all it's done is get me a life of being on the run. I haven't been able to hold my baby boy in 2 months, I haven't been able to think straight without MC by my side. Her soft skin against mine, the way she smiles at me when she misses me when I was working and she wraps her arms around me.

I miss her warmth next to me at night. I always felt protected in her arms, it was like nothing could ever pull us apart. My heart smashed into a million pieces the day I had to leave. I have been trying to find a way back to her but I have not yet been able to because it's not safe to contact her over the phone. I have one single photo of us in my wallet that I now keep close to my heart. I look at that picture every second of the day and I make a promise that I will get back to her.

She wanted to come with me when I told her what had happened, I couldn't let her come with me. It's no life for her and the baby is constantly being on the run. I have been checking the cameras in my mum and dad's house. I can see MC sitting on the sofa crying her eyes out. I have never seen her so upset before she looks completely broken and it's all my fault.

MC I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and I will do everything in my power to get you back.

Over the next couple of days MC had started taking Harry to a baby group for young mums at the community center. She had made a new friend there called Jessy; she and her boyfriend Richy had just become parents MC and Jessy hit it off right away. They arranged a play date at the park for the next day which MC gladly accepted. She needed to find things to keep her mind focused. She was still finding it so hard without Jake MC had told Jessy what had happened Jessy was so understanding. She told MC that if she ever needed anything that she only had to ask.

The next day MC met up with Jessy and Richy at the park, "hi MC it's so good to see you how have you been?" the redhead put her arms around MC hugging her tightly. "Hey Jessy, I'm okay I still miss him so much" tears started to escape MCs eyes at the thought of Jake. Jessy was quick to put her arms around MC and sit her down on a bench "it's going to be okay MC, me and Richy will help you" MC looked up and she managed a little smile on her face. "Jessy's right, we are always here for you"

Richy went over to a nearby coffee stand and got 3 coffees, of course MC and Jessy still couldn't have caffeine just yet with breastfeeding. On the way back home MC kept thinking about Jake and how she missed him. She had been wearing some of his shirts that still had his scent on them. It brought her some comfort. When MC arrived back home there were 2 FBI officers there and they wanted to talk to MC about the whereabouts of Jake. "What's all this about? Why are they here?" More tears fell from MCs eyes she was thinking the worst had happened. "It's okay we just want to talk" one of the agents got up and came over to MC.

"Look we just want to ask you some questions about what the information was that your boyfriend found" Mc looked up at the agent she could tell from his eyes he was just trying to help or was that what he wanted her to think. "Look I don't know where he is or what the information was he found he wouldn't tell me for this very reason. I haven't spoken or seen him in 4 months now" MC put her head in her hands and more sobs escaped her eyes. "Do you really have to do this now? You can see how upset she is" Jake's dad came over to where MC was. "We are not this bad guys here we want to help Jake, the information he as is very important for the case we are building against someone"

MCs eyes widened at what the agent just said to her, "what? So you don't want to throw him in jail?" The agent knelt down next to MC and put his hand on her shoulder. "No we don't want to do that, it's the people that he has the information on that are after him. We need to get to Jake before they do"

MCs POV

For the first time in months I started to have a little hope I could find Jake before these men did. Could I save him in time? What if they got to him before I could and they killed him? If that happens, what is my life even worth? How do I even go on without him? I have to find him somehow. I slowly pull myself up, tears still rolling down my face. If I want to get Jake back I need to do something. "Okay I will help you I don't know how but I am only doing this to get Jake back" MC picked baby Harry up and helped him close. "We understand we will be in touch soon"

The two agents left and once again MC became an emotional mess, Harry took his grandson and went out the back with him. Helen put her arms around MC and held onto her. "It's going to be okay MC we will get Jake back"

Jake's POV

I can't believe what I have just seen and heard the FBI dare to scare my girl and my son. They say they want to help and find me so they can protect me. I can't stay here. I need to move on and find a way of getting back to MC. Once I've found a place I need to dig into the FBI database and find out more information about these people after me. I need to get the upper hand. I can't let them win, I will not let them win. I start to pack my things away and head out making sure I keep to the shadows.

I can't risk anyone seeing me after a few hours of traveling I find another abandoned building. Once I get inside the building I head upstairs and set up my laptop in one of the offices. I check on the people after me. They have just arrived at the other building I was staying in. They are getting closer but not close enough. I can put them off the scent by placing a few things that will lead them out of duskwood.

I spend the next few hours setting up my traps. The signal is getting further and further away from where I am. My plan is working for how long I am unsure but for now I take this as a small victory. My mind wanders back to MC. My heart starts to ache for her. I miss the way she always smells of lavender, her sweet smile, the twinkling look she always has in her eyes. A tear starts to run down my face and my heart is hurting. I thought this would be the best thing to do at the time. I didn't want MC in any danger and yet here I am putting her in danger.

I am going to come back to you MC. I promise I will always love you no matter what happens. You are my whole world. I must have fallen asleep as I woke up at my desk, my eyes adjusting to the bright lights coming in through the window. I took a look at the time and it's 7am and my body gave up on me and made me sleep. I have lost time. I didn't have to lose. I grab an energy drink from my backpack. Downing it almost straight away I quickly get back to work. I need to know how far away my pursuers are. I type away at my laptop. My plan is still working which I am thankful for.

MC woke up to the sound of Harry crying; she managed to drag her body out of bed and pick him up. Holding him close she sits back down on the bed and starts to feed him he slowly starts to calm down as he's feeding. MC hasn't slept all night. Her tear stained eyes are red. The only thing she can think about is Jake. Her heart aches for him to come back to her.

"Jake please come back to me wherever you are please baby, I need you I love you so much. The emptiness I feel without you hurts so much I love you Jake" all of a sudden Helen came rushing into the bedroom and grabbed Harry from MCs arms. "Harry call an ambulance quick it's MC"

MC had crashed to the floor. The ambulance had arrived just in time and rushed her to the hospital. The doctors and nurses ran tests and scans on her and they gave her something to help her wake up. After a few hours MC had woken up she was lying in a hospital bed. "W-what happened? Where am I" Helen took hold of MCs hand and smiled at her. "It's okay MC you are in hospital you collapsed your body gave out on you but you will be okay" tears fell from MCs eyes Helen wrapped her arms around her "it's going to be okay MC" MC looked into Helen's eyes and for the first time she saw hope in her eyes. "How do you know it's going to be okay? What if it's not?"

Helen pulled away from MC and looked towards the door. "There is someone here that wants to see you" MC sat up and her eyes widened in shock.
