How can teachers' training assist students in advancing their learning?

Introduction

Have you ever debated with your classmates over which instructor is the best? Did you have a favorite teacher among the others at your school? You would have, for sure, but have you thought about why you respect one teacher more than the others? Each person has their own tastes when it comes to instructors, but what makes the finest teachers is their effectiveness in the classroom.

Students are prepared for the future by qualified teachers using their expertise, instructional methods, and teaching medium. Leading EdTech companies are assisting teachers in their training to conduct effective learning, giving them access to a wider network of mentors and not simply the peers of their school seniors.

Why is training for teachers required?

The solution is straightforward: increase student engagement and teamwork in the classroom so that each student succeeds in whatever endeavor they choose, making their instructors and parents pleased. Trained educators may make the most of EdTech's capabilities, building technical proficiency that will enable them to compete with the quite advanced international education system. The main points that have been raised to support the need for teacher training are listed below:

·        Increase academic excellence–Teachers support the kid's active learning, encourage the youngster to ask questions, and promote experimental learning as practice. Teachers cannot assist a youngster in overcoming it unless they have received the necessary training. The limitless resources offered by educational technology are of extraordinary use to teachers. A paradigm change from instructor-based learning to self-centered learning is brought about by the auxiliary tools.

·        Enhance your ability to solve problems- A traditional approach to teaching technology is through problem-solving abilities. Technology development today has created a dynamic demand for critical thinking, problem-solving, and technical advances in the classroom to fulfil the needs of the modern world.

·        Can improve intellectual clarity Teachers using digital educational tools have an easier time teaching as compared to students who are educated using traditional techniques. Teachers can surprise and clarify ideas thanks to the efficient and simple utilization of the content. Additionally, the engaging classroom is made possible by the well-designed EdTech tools that promote student interaction.

·        Teach young one’s new methods- The primary responsibility of teachers is to introduce students to EdTech resources so they can practice while they learn. Only until teachers are trained in these technologies will this be feasible. Getting students comfortable with technology makes it simpler for kids to embrace the lessons.

·        Understanding the idea behind restored learning- For education to be used to its most potential, an hour must be set aside to develop concepts rather than race to meet deadlines. Promoting visual learning, using interactive classroom software, recording class sessions, and many more methods that aid in reviving classroom learning can improve conceptual learning.

·        Easy to use as a medium for evaluation– In the classroom, teachers find it possible to guarantee accurate student evaluations and assessments. Through assessments, teachers may get a sense of how well their students are doing, which helps them know which students need more help.

·        Students' confidence can be increased by confident teachers. You can have a beneficial impact on your pupils' lives as a teacher. The growth of children will always be a priority for confident teaching. Teachers who have grown confidence using these resources can inspire and prod students to embrace the new educational medium. Finding the teachers' positive qualities might help pupils develop positive learning attitudes. As a result, the motivated child can utilize educational technologies to their full capacity.

What modifications are brought forth by training children?

Students are being led appropriately thanks to teachers who have received effective training. With the aid of the audio-visual components provided by the EdTech sector, teachers can improve classrooms with significant learning activities that are more engaging, pedagogically sound, and align with students' requirements.

The teacher's effectiveness, assurance, and excitement will immediately influence the student's desire to study at the same rate. Trained teachers are delivering a dramatic transformation in how a youngster views education by leveraging various EdTech brand features.

When used with the assistance of trained teachers, digital education ensures:

·         Children's development of skills

·         Instant feedback aids in the development of analytical skills and speeds up learning

·         Concept gamification provides an interesting learning

·         Experimental education makes it simple to remember chapters.

·        The quizzes, live discussions, direct internet access, and vibrant graphics help students to concentrate.

How efficiently is Globus Infocom carrying out this training?

For complete and efficient classroom solutions, The Globus Infocom Limited makes sure that teachers receive regular training. Government policies to increase access to education are also being implemented to support effective training. One recent instance that comes to mind is the training that the Government of Haryana undertook in conjunction with Globus Infocom Limited. To provide teachers with digital skills and make the best possible use of the digital gadgets deployed in the schools, the training was delivered in 22 districts throughout Haryana. In the first stage, 40-teacher training batches were given to almost 900 teachers from at least 137 schools in Haryana.

Summing up

Everyone has always found it difficult to adapt to new change yet doing so is necessary in order to keep up with the times. Although it would be a tedious and drawn-out process, it is now obvious that such tools for classrooms are necessary. We must be prepared to properly manage obstacles if we want to compete and stand out internationally.

Therefore, managing these problems to produce high-quality teaching is made possible by classrooms outfitted with EdTech learning materials and skilled teachers who have completed efficient teacher training programmes.

Starting Over Chapter 33 ~Epilogue~

WARNING: VERY VERY EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT

Five Years later

 Claire stepped into the shower and gasped as the spray of heat hit her skin. It was the perfect temperature and pressure. She groaned when the steam started to build up, and the water ran down her body like a caress. A small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as her fingers busily worked the tangled knots in her hair. Today was the first day of their holiday, and they were going to Lallybroch for Sunday lunch. And then tomorrow, they were heading to Oxford to visit her parents' grave before flying to Italy. 

Jamie had barely roused when her phone began to buzz with a message from Geillis telling her Joe would be picking uncle Lamb up before heading for Lallybroch. After a quick reply with a thumbs up, she'd kissed Jamie on the lips and decided to get up. Although it was still early for Sunday, she'd taken the opportunity to get ahead for the day.

She'd just squeezed shower gel into the sponge when the door suddenly opened.

"Jamie?"

"Hmmm?"

She peered through the thick steam and got a glimpse of her sleep-mussed husband. Enjoying the view, she waited, as he took off his boxer briefs and stepped into the shower. His large naked body dominated the massive space, and she smiled at the sight of his impressive morning erection and display of hard muscles in full masculine glory. After all these years, she never tired admiring his beautiful physique, fit and toned from running the rugby academy and personally coaching his young and upcoming talents and training with them.

"Morning Sassenach. Thought I'd join ye."

His almost transparent blue eyes held a mischievous gleam that made her wary. She fidgeted on her feet, suddenly loathing the unflattering light that highlighted her stretch marks and full hips when he looked so perfectly toned. Although she was comfortable in her own skin, and Jamie made her feel cherished, standing under the bright light made her conscious of the extra pounds her body hadn't managed to shift ever since giving birth to their daughter, Faith. 

She crossed her arms over her breasts and attempted to act unconcerned. "Umm, I'll finish off. Faith might wake up and come looking for us."

He ignored her words, moving closer until the spray caught his chest and they were only an inch apart. "I've checked in on her, and she's still fast asleep. I dinnae think she'd be waking up any time soon. She went late to bed last night, mind?" His lips twitched, and his eyes lit up. "Why are ye covering yersel', Sassenach?"

She scrunched up her nose. "I'm not. Umm, I'm done. I'll go prepare breakfast."

He barred her path, arching an eyebrow. "Are ye still worried about yer weight? We've talked about this before. Ye're perfect."

"No! No, it's not that ..."

"Ye've nae idea how beautiful ye are. But ye're no' going anywhere. No' just yet anyway." He uncrossed her arms and with his index finger, traced lazy circles around her sensitive nipple, making her catch her breath. Almost five years into their marriage, not much had changed with Jamie's art of seduction, and he always knew what buttons to push.

"Jamie! We have all the time in our holidays to do this. I still have a lot of stuff to prepare, and you know how long it takes to get Faith ready," she said lamely.

"Relax, mo chridhe," he whispered, his finger travelling down her abdomen. "Our bags are packed, and I'll take care of Faith when she wakes up."

She puffed a breath. "Are you sure it's alright to leave Faith behind? Shouldn't we be taking her with us on our holiday?" she asked, a fleeting concern settling in her belly. "I know she'll be with your parents, but she's never been separated from us since birth. I still think she's too young to be away from us."

"Ye overthink too much, Sassenach. Faith is four, and ye heard her last night. She's excited to spend time with ma and da. And ye ken how much wee Jamie and Maggie adores our Faith. She'll have fun in Lallybroch, and there's plenty of things for her to do there." Jamie had a point. With Jenny's children for a company and the abundant activities for youngsters in the village, Faith probably wouldn't even miss them.

She wanted a last-ditch effort to argue, but Jamie's wandering hands was making her brain fuzzy from hormones. Without conscious volition, her hands travelled up his chest, massaging his shoulders and then moving down to skim over his hard abs. She grinned when the skin underneath her touch quivered. There was probably nothing in this world and time that would make her resist his advances even if logic strived to surface, except of course if Faith decided to wake up and walk in on them. "Why do I even bother reasoning with you," she admitted, clasping his cock and fisting him with deliberate slowness underneath the spray of water.

"Aye, why do ye even bother when ye ken it makes sense. Ah, Christ ...that feels so good," he hissed, biting his lower lip. He suddenly jerked in her hands and muttered a string of curse. "We have plenty of time before the bairn wakes up. What do ye think about making a baby brother or sister for Faith ...ummm ... starting right now?"

Make babies. Make babies. The words ricocheted around in her head like ping-pong balls. Lately, that was all Jamie had in mind, always citing Faith's need to have a sibling to grow up and play with. It sounded so oddly sexy, it caused her veins to charge with electricity and ignite every corpuscle in her body. "Oh, I don't think I'll need that much convincing," she said provocatively.

Jamie lunged forward, a low roar of satisfaction vibrating from his chest, stopping just short before their bodies touched. His hands slapped the tiles above her head, his lips delivering the barest brush on her temple. He smiled before dropping his head further and kissing her deep and hard for the longest time. When her legs wobbled with the attempt to stay upright, his arm caught her by the waist and laughed. "Ach, Sassenach," he said choppily. "I've only just kissed ye, and that body of yers reacts like I'm touching ye for the first time. Ye're killing me here."

Trying to keep herself alert and straining her ears in case Faith woke up, was a challenge, but when it came to the act of foreplay and making love with Jamie, she always almost lost herself. He was holding himself only a hairsbreadth away from her, and yet her body was screaming to be touched. With a swallow, she placed the palms of her hands against Jamie's hard stomach and coasted them over the muscular curves. "You're torturing me," she breathed, starting to become frustrated with the ache in her core. "Did you bring the baby monitor?"

"Aye," Jamie whispered, straightening up and taking the sponge to soap her body with sweeping motions, before cleaning himself. Her senses became heightened from the spray of the shower, the warmth of the steam, and his expert hands as he caressed and touched her naked flesh. Slowly, he pushed her against the wall and knelt down on the tile floor, the water rushing over his head as he leaned in and brushed his lips to her intimate flesh. "Does this ever cease ...the wanting ye? Even though I'd made love to ye last night, I want ye again and again, and my fingers are always aching to touch ye."

"Oh, Jamie," she whimpered, sliding her fingers into his hair and guiding him closer. "Enough talk and touch me now."

"Ye're no' complaining about having a bit of time for a nooky now are ye?"

"N-no," she stuttered.

"No," he echoed on a groan, his finger sliding into her wet fold, causing her to suck in a shaky breath. "Mind, the better to serve ye, Sassenach."

"Damn it, Jamie!"

He moved his lips against her softness, his broad shoulders rising and falling, as he open-mouthed kissed the flesh enfolding her core, parting it with his tongue. His teeth brushed her nub gently, and Claire nearly hit the ceiling. Her response encouraged Jamie more, his fingertips digging into the flesh of her buttocks, drawing her lower body closer to his mouth. The firm, smooth slide of his tongue separated her flesh further and travelled over her nub in a leisurely lick. "So bloody responsive, ye drive me crazy."

Claire's head fell back on its own, her back curving away from the wall. "Oh, God, oh God ..." she babbled imploring gibberish, a scream beginning to build in her chest.

He hooked her leg over his shoulder as his other hand reached out to knead her breast, deft fingers pinching her nipple. When he began to suckle her nub more urgently this time, scruff brushing against her swollen bundle of nerves, she nearly lost it, making him chuckle. She glanced down at him beneath heavy lids as she pressed her hips closer to Jamie's mouth and writhed on his tongue, the sight of his arm busily fisting himself, making her see stars. Her stomach shuddered as her vision started to blur, the pressure bordering and coiling in her middle.

"Jamie ...please ..." she sobbed. "Inside me ...now."

He made a strangled noise and stood, his fingers sinking into her hair, to tug her head back and keep it still. Pressing their mouths together, his tongue plunged in for a deep kiss as his other hand cupped the juncture of her thighs, the pad of his thumb stroking her nub. When she began to whimper and thrash, he turned her around.

"Place yer hands against the wall," he commanded, hoarsely.

Her tummy dropped to the floor. Closing her eyes, she obeyed, her need intensifying a hundredfold as Jamie eased her legs apart. 

He shoved her wet curls to the side and nibbled her earlobe, his cock poised at her entrance. "In as much as I love to hear ye scream, Sassenach, we have to be really quiet," he muttered thickly.

She could only nod, her face hot, and her body shaking with anticipation. 

His tongue travelled down her neck as he moved his hand down between her thighs, his finger rubbing ever so lightly over her throbbing flesh.

She stiffened, her hips flexing of their own accord. "Oh God," she moaned. 

"Oh, aye." With one swift thrust, he took her from behind, his cock burying deep to the hilt, making her gasped and pushed back against him for more, torn between the need to feel his finger and the ache in her core for him to fill. He grunted with pleasure, pushing in and out of her with steady strokes, his fingers busily working her nub.

When his moves became more erratic, and his breathing shallow, his hold on her hips tightened, chanting her name under his breath. He took her with primal abandon, giving her everything he got, claiming her fully with each hard, deep stroke. Dropping his head, he bit her shoulder, his hips pounding hard behind her and one hand reaching up to cover her mouth.

Her body clenched underneath him, and she cried out in a muffled throaty gasp, the orgasm seizing her like an iron fist, waves after waves of pleasure washing over her and wracking her with tremors. When she shattered completely, he arched back and let out a low stifled roar, emptying his seed, jerking helplessly from his release.

Breathing hard, he held her tight, his hand kneading her breast and his hips slowing their movements. They stood like that for a long while, their breathing and heartbeats in synced, the shower beating down on them, relaxing their muscles. 

Finally, Jamie turned her around and kissed her on the forehead. "Christ, Sassenach, how did I ever survive ye?"

Claire laughed. "How about my legs? They feel like jelly."

"And my heart feels like it's going to burst. It's like that every time with ye."

"You're just sex crazy."

"Ach, ye bring it out of me," he grinned.

They were about to lock themselves into each others' embrace once more when the baby monitor crackled. They both stilled, and Jamie immediately turned off the shower. They heard Faith's voice. It was distant at first, kind of muffled, and then suddenly it turned into a shriek. "Mummy?!? Daddy?" She was outside their bathroom door.

Grinning, Claire gave Jamie an I-told-you-so look before stepping out of the shower. "I'm coming, sweetheart," she said in a sing-song voice before throwing Jamie a towel. After she'd quickly dried and wrapped herself in a bathrobe, she opened the bathroom door and closed it behind her. "Hello, darling. You're up early."

Faith's face was still flushed from sleep and almost matched the shade of her shoulder-length curls, the colour of a red deer's pelt as Jenny called it. She looked delightfully cosy and adorable in her pink flannel onesie and fluffy bunny slippers. "What are ye doing?" she asked, one hand clutching a teddy bear by the ear and another rubbing an eye. When Claire got down on her knees, Faith dropped her toy and held out her arms wide for a cuddle.

Smiling, Claire drew her in into an embrace, deeply inhaling her sweet baby smell. "I had a shower with daddy. He'll be out soon. Did you sleep well?"

Faith nodded as she laid her face on Claire's shoulder and began to suckle her thumb, making wet noises. 

Claire gently took Faith's hand from her mouth. "Don't do that, sweetheart; otherwise, you'll get buck teeth."

Faith pulled away and frowned, looking a lot like Jamie whenever his brows furrowed in concentration. "What's buck teeth?"

Claire made a funny face and made her upper front teeth overlap her lower lip. "Djis ish what bucschteeth look like."

Faith giggled, dramatically clutching her belly. "Ye're so funny, mummy."

Before Claire could respond, the bathroom door opened and Jamie came out in his bathrobe. "Is that my princess I hear?" he boomed.

Faith's blue eyes lit up, the sleepy look she had only a few seconds ago already evaporated to be replaced with excitement. "Daddy!" she shrieked, running towards him as if they hadn't seen each other for weeks when in fact, it was Jamie who tucked her into bed last night. 

Jamie stooped down and caught her with his hands. "Ooooff," he groaned when she crashed into him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Ach, my princess is such a big lass already. Ye ken what today is?"

Faith leaned back to look into his eyes and nodded vigorously. "I'm staying with Granmaw and Granpa for a holiday."

"That's right. And have you made something for yer other grans in Oxford to take with us? Mind, mummy and I are going to visit them tomorrow."

"My English Granmaw and Granpa in heaven?"

Claire's heart expanded. Jamie had always made sure to include her parents' in Faith's bedtime story. It was imperative for him that their daughter knew of her English lineage and everything else about Claire's side of the family. It was something that touched Claire to the core whenever she was reminded of Jamie's story, visiting her parents' grave five years ago to ask her hand in marriage. It was one of those little things that made her love him more.

"Aye, that's right. So did ye make something?" 

"Aye and also for mummy's birthday."

"Wow, that's a lot," he said, winking at Claire, tucking a tongue in his cheek to tamp down the mirth that was obviously building up. "So, what did ye make?"

"I coloured some flowers," she replied, her lips adorably rolling and unrolling as she looked at her father.

Jamie's eyebrow arched, his eyes twinkling. "Aah, flowers. What sort of flowers?"

"The blue sort," she chirped, her wee hands clasping Jamie's face. "Wanna see it?"

"Aye, definitely. Will you go and get it for me, leanbh? We need to pack it in the suitcase." Jamie gently put her down and kissed her on the forehead. "And I have a pressie for ye ... it's somewhere in yer wardrobe in yer bedroom ...or perhaps under yer bed ...I cannae mind. If ye can find it, ye may open it."

Faith eye's widened and clapped her hands "A pressie, daddy?" She was already skipping out of their bedroom and down the hallway.

As soon as Faith disappeared, both sprung into action, Claire throwing a pair of sweatpants at Jamie and pulling a shirt from the wardrobe for him to wear. They laughed out loud when their eyes met across the bed, and they were still laughing when Faith skipped back into the room with her new toy puppy complete with a leash and her coloured artwork. "Whatsofunny?"

Jamie grinned as he put on a t-shirt. "Mummy did a trumpet."

Claire sputtered, glaring at Jamie. "I certainly did not!"

"Ye remember the rules for tooters, Faith?"

"Aye! Aye! Better to toot and bear the shame, than hold the toot and bear the pain!" she said, giggling, jumping up and down, dropping the toy and her artwork. 

"Good heavens, who taught you that?" Claire asked, looking down at her daughter in disbelief.

"Uncle Rabbie!" Faith shouted, still bouncing and laughing. "Mummy ye tooted. And daddy said ye always smell of flowers." She suddenly stilled and sobered up, her beautiful blue eyes growing big as saucers. "Did flowers come out, mummy?"

Jaime collapsed back onto the bed, doubled over with laughter and in stitches, and Faith took that as her cue to climb on top of him. He immediately grabbed her, tossing his daughter sideways and tickling her middle until she squealed.

Claire gave them a look of mock exasperation, inwardly smiling over being accused of flower fart, but both ignored her, father and daughter totally engrossed in each other's lovefest. They were always like this whenever they were together. And every time Jamie looked at Faith, his face was full of the divine, absorbing her as if she were springwater to his parched soul. At nightfall, when he tucked her to bed, he'd hold her like she was the most precious gift in the world, singing Gaelic songs, whispering endearments and promises of forever love. His daughter's presence always lit his eyes up with pure joy and love, just like now as if he still couldn't believe she was part of him. It was the most beautiful thing to witness, and it made her eyes well up every single time.

"Ye haven't told me yet if ye like yer pressie," Jamie asked Faith after their laughter had died down.

Faith rewarded him with a noisy smacker on the lips. "Thank ye, daddy, I love it. When do I get a real doggie?"

Jamie burst out laughing, and Claire cleared her throat to get his attention. Faith had always wanted a dog, and Jamie would've happily got one right away with the animal rescue centre not far from where they lived if they hadn't talked about this before. They knew the apartment was no place for a dog, especially when their daughter wanted a big one. "Mummy and I have been talking about having a dog. And we've figured, to have a dog, we need a bigger place to live in. So, I think after Christmas, we will start looking for a house with a big garden for ye and the doggie to play in."

A light pucker between Faith's brows appeared. "How many sleeps more 'til I get a doggie then?"

"Plenty of sleep, leanbh," Jamie sighed, gathering her into his arms and onto his lap. "That is why I bought ye the toy puppy so ye can have one to play with until we can get a real one."

"I love my toy puppy daddy, and I love you too."

"And I love ye," Jamie said, hugging her tight and giving her raspberry kisses on her neck, eliciting more peals of laughter.

Claire spoke past the lump in her throat. "Alright, that's enough, you two. How about waffles for breakfast?"

"Waffles!" Faith whooped, wriggling and slipping away from her father's hold. She ran out of the room, shouting waffles and something about chocolates. As soon as they were alone again, Jamie rose from the bed and padded towards her. 

"Happy?" he asked, drawing her into his arms.

She tipped her head up and smiled at him. "Very."

"Good. Ye get dress, and I'll prepare the batter for the waffles." Then he kissed her, slow and thorough, with a gentleness that made her heart sigh with pleasure.

"Icky!" Faith screeched, from the bedroom doorway.

Jamie grinned. "I'm glad ye think so, leanbh. Stay on that track for me until ye're thirty, aye?" With a wink, he took Faith's hand and headed towards the kitchen.

As Claire watched them go, all sorts of vision for the future rolled in. The past years hadn't been easy for all of them. Although she had gained her residency back at the Royal Infirmary back then and never questioned her own drive to succeed, she did worry that it would be challenging to balance her work with dreams of having a family. She'd hoped to start a family when she and Jamie had more control over their respective schedules, but things hadn't gone as planned. She became pregnant three months before she returned to clinical residency.

Adjusting from maternity leave back to clinical work felt like she was functioning like a robot. Claire had to wake up every two hours at night to feed her baby, and she was so dazed that she covered their apartment in post-it note reminders: bring the pump to work, the nipple protectors, the ice packs to keep the milk cold. 

Their hired nanny and help, Mrs Bugs may have been lovely and heaven-sent, but she couldn't shirk the guilt she felt spending twelve hours shifts away from her child. There had been mornings when she sat in her car crying because she didn't want to leave Faith, and Jamie had been helpless in consoling her since the rugby academy had had its own teething problems.

The last straw was when Faith had developed a fever. Mrs Bugs had been away for the weekend, Jamie inundated with his own work and Claire couldn't be late for her operating shift, but Faith's daycare wouldn't have accepted her if they knew she was sick. So she did what any desperate mothers would have done and got inventive - she slipped liquid Calpol into her bottle, in the hopes of lowering her temperature and dropped her off. Later that day, while performing a surgery, her eyes had continually checked the clock, willing the operation to finish in time for pickup. She'd prayed that the daycare wouldn't realise she was feverish. At that point, she felt like she was failing as a mother and as a resident, and she knew something had to give. She'd thought about quitting medicine a lot, but it wasn't in her nature. 

Between her career as a surgeon and her beautiful family, she'd chosen her family, and transferred back to The Royal Hospital for Sick Children to work as a part-time paediatrician. Part-time was putting it mildly since she still worked forty hours a week; nevertheless, it was better than her former sixty hours. Although she missed being a full-time surgeon, seeing Faith grow up had been worth the sacrifice. Now she had more time for her family and helping with the academy, and she'd be able to give Jamie the big family he wanted and create a home. She was more than happy with that.

"Mummy, mummy!"

And of course, with the academy running well and fully staffed and Faith in safe hands in Lallybroch while they go on a much needed holiday, she and Jamie would be able to spend time planning their future for a new home.

"Mummy?" Faith prompted again, tugging her hand until she got Claire's attention. "Can I have choccie sauce on my waffle? Daddy says to ask ye."

"That depends," Claire replied, tapping her freckled, button nose. "You can only have choccie sauce if you eat at least one fruit."

"Daddy is cutting apples." Faith snagged her hand and pulled her from the bedroom. "And he's making juice, coffee, waffles. No choccie sauce."

"Well let's go make some then," Claire said as they walked hand in hand in the kitchen, her daughter's excitement rubbing off on her.

They ate their breakfast animatedly, laughed out of sheer silliness and came up with new ideas for their new home, always including Faith in their conversation. When their daughter eventually passed out on the couch from her chocolate-induced hysteria, Claire cleaned up the kitchen while Jamie did a few business calls.

Life was good, she thought, and she couldn't wait to find their new family home and have their baby number two. She hoped and prayed it would happen very soon.

..........

Jamie paused in the kitchen, looking around. He was making sure they had everything they needed for their holiday and picking up things Faith might need in Lallybroch, like her Disney water bottle, plate and cutleries. Claire was giving Faith a bath, and Mrs Bug, who came to clean up the apartment once a week hadn't arrived yet. Every space in the apartment held the joyous clutter of two females. Glossy catalogues, colouring books and colourful magazines were lying scattered on the counter. There were traces of peanut butter cookies by the hob left by Faith which she wasn't supposed to eat after the chocolate sauce she'd already had for breakfast. There were two high-heeled shoes and one pair of pink glittered sneakers kicked underneath the table. A baby-blue unicorn with long hair and her new puppy toy took up two chairs. The scents of flowers and baby cream wafted in the air. A Cinderella lip balm and a bottle of red nail polish sat lined up neatly next to his expensive bottle of whisky and brandy.

His eyes burned as he poured himself a glass of water. He wasn't a man given to tears, but with everything going on in his life, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed by how everything had been falling to place the last couple of years. They'd gotten used to setbacks, obstacles and problems that accompanied a new marriage, Claire's unplanned pregnancy and starting their own rugby academy. He couldn't believe they had come out unscathed and they were stronger as a unit more than ever when there had been many frustrations and fights. But having a solid family and friends for support and plenty of make-up sex helped to tide them over their difficulties. 

Since Claire had accepted his marriage proposal, his life had shifted. A lightness Jamie had never truly experienced before poured through him. It was as if by finally allowing himself to open up, he'd discovered new strength and happiness he'd been keeping himself from. Loving Claire hadn't been a choice because right from the beginning, even before they both realised or accepted it, she'd been his and he was hers. The overwhelming feeling of his need for her had outweighed the fear, and it went beyond physical. He'd craved her presence, her love, her heart, her character, her humour, her selflessness, her loyalty, and even her temper. He needed all of it. He hadn't been supposed to be the nervous one, but his brave Sassenach had enough nerves and strength for both of them when she'd decided to take her chance on him. For that, the love inside him had expanded to include a little darkness and a hell lot of possessiveness. They had always been there, ready to flow into the intense feelings Claire had stirred, but his instinct had risen up and set them free. And he would move heaven and earth to protect his family and make them happy.

 It had only been a year ago after Ned Gowan had brought forward more witnesses, was Forbes finally prosecuted for his other secret transgressions that had gone unpunished for years. The trials had been lengthy due to Forbes' ability to circumvent the law and connection to the best lawyers. After Forbes had been arrested for spiking Jamie's drink, Ned knew it was only a matter of time before he was released on parole or bribed someone for his acquittal. Ned Gowan's resilience, ingenuity and resourcefulness coupled with the investigative skills of the reporters Rupert and Angus helped in keeping Forbes in jail. To this day, there were still more victims coming forward, suppressed by years of threats of scandal. Jamie could now rest at ease, knowing Forbes wouldn't be able to hurt his academy nor his family with false stories as his business had been reduced tremendously to recompense his victims.

Tamping down the emotions threatening to overflow, he set down his glass in the sink and picked up the pile of mail. Sifting through, he studied a doctor's envelope inscribed to Claire. He was about to put it down when the letter fell out of it. The envelope hadn't been sealed properly. Curious, he unfolded it. It was regarding the doctor's findings on Claire's discomfort on the side of her abdomen. When the pain had begun, she'd self-diagnosed having a kidney infection. She'd refused to take antibiotics until she was sure her self diagnosis was accurate. So she'd arranged a urinalysis for herself and submitted it to the lab for routine testing.

To his relief, the kidney infection she'd suspected came out negative, but there was more, so he browsed through the medical vernaculars until his eyes settled on something that made more sense. His heart stopped. Slowly he reread it, the words jumping out of the letter to blast him full force. Claire might not have a kidney infection, but she was two months pregnant. Fierce satisfaction uncurled, and he began to laugh. Too bad, his Sassenach wouldn't be able to enjoy a glass of bubbly when they share the news to his family later.

"Daddy? Whatsofunny?"

Jamie looked down at his daughter's flushed face, her hair done up in pig-tails and dressed in a jumpsuit romper and pink sweatshirt. He knelt down in front of her and smiled. "I'm happy, leanbh, that's why I'm laughing. Can I ask ye something?"

Faith nodded and moved closer, her eyes widening in anticipation as she waited with bated breaths.

"What do ye think about having a baby brother or sister sometime in the near future?"

She shrugged, her little shoulder touching her ear. "I want a doggie more, but a baby is nice too."

"Weel, how about if I say, ye can have both once we moved to a bigger house."

"Okay. I can have the doggie and ye, the baby."

Jamie's chest shook with silent laughter. "That's a deal." He got up and patted her wee bottom. "Go and find mummy then so we can go to see yer grans." 

Happy with their conversation, Faith dashed off to find Claire. He couldn't wait to see his wife's face when she finally learned of her pregnancy.

..........

Claire snorted and shook the paper in front of her. "You call that journalism? How do the reporters get away with printing such rubbish as news?"

They had just finished lunch, and they were all sat around the long family table in Lallybroch while the children played in the living room watched over by Jenny and his parents.

Uncle Lamb worriedly glanced at Claire as his brother Rabbie stood up and peered over her shoulder. "Mmmm, the cameraman is to blame. Taken at a wrong angle, ye look peely-wally there, Claire."

Nowadays it was seldom to find Jamie's name in the gossip columns of the local papers unless it had something to do with his academy. The first time his wedding had made it to the news, it had been a shock to many and speculations had been rife all across the social media. Some even citing that Claire had trapped him into marriage with Frank Randall's child. Busy with their own respective work, Jamie and Claire had been able to ignore the gossips, and eventually, the stories, that had been mostly exaggerated, died a natural death. But now and again, someone would recognise them on the street and take a photo, just like one of Claire coming out of a grocery store which somehow made it in today's news. The headline described Claire looking sombre and wondered if there was trouble in the Fraser marriage.

Rabbie was right though. Claire looked pale in the photo. It must have something to do with her pregnancy. He sort of suspected she was pregnant already even before he read that urinalysis result earlier. He'd always kept track of her menstrual cycle and the changes in her body and moods. But when he'd mentioned about missing her period earlier this month, Claire had simply put it down to the excitement of their upcoming holiday.

Jamie ignored the funny tingle in his gut and reminded himself not to announce their news without consulting his wife first. He needed to make an effort tamping down his excitement.

Willie signalled Rabbie to pour Claire a glass of Chablis and slid it across the table to her. "Here, Claire, have a sip of this."

Jamie immediately grabbed the wine glass causing Claire to glare at him. To his relief, she didn't try to retrieve it back.

"And look at this," she exclaimed, a finger jabbing at the black-and-white print of news. "They're claiming I've let myself go and that I look fat."

Jamie's legs started to bounce under the table. "Sassenach, ye said so yersel '...what those so-called journalists write is rubbish. Why are ye getting so worked up? It never bothered ye before."

Claire glowered and pursed her lips. "It's the body shaming I don't like. It's unfair to us women. We're expected to have babies and still look like a model at the end of it. It's this sort of writing that makes women go to extreme lengths to look good even if they're doing more harm than good to their bodies."

He gave her a sympathetic look and reached out for her hand. "I understand, Sassenach but readers have to take responsibility for what they read. If people believe everything that is ever written in print without questioning it, they only have themselves to blame."

"I guess you're right," she grumbled. "I should know better by now."

"Hey, Claire," Rabbie butted in. "If it's any consolation to ye, my mates think ye're lush. Ye'd give any lassies in their early twenties a run for their money. And ye're smart too, to boot."

Jamie frowned at his younger brother. "I hope ye mentioned to them she's married to me."

"Jamie!" Claire snapped. "Stop acting like a caveman!"

Instead of his usual smart retort, Rabbie got up and disappeared into the kitchen.

"See what you've done?" Claire pointed out.

"Ach, Jamie, everyone kens Claire's with ye," Willie sighed. "Ye make sure of that all the time, piddling a boundary around her."

"Exactly!" Claire shot, looking at her husband. "Why Jamie does that, I have no idea. It's as if he can't trust me."

Jamie's eyes widened, too dumbfounded to say anything.  Uh-oh! What's happening to wifey? This is not how are day suppose to turn out.

Geillis, who had been quiet the whole time browsing through the family's album with uncle Lamb, gave Claire a funny look.

Claire noticed. "What?"

Geillis looked at uncle Lamb, shrugged and continued to flip the pages. "Mood swing much, Claire? First, ye're giggly throughout lunch, and now ye're mardy and snappy."

Claire looked at Joe, waiting for him to say something. But Joe only raised his hands as if pleading ignorance. "LJ seems fine to me."

Snapping the album shut, Geillis glared at Joe. "She's not fine, and it's alright not to be fine." And then she turned her attention to Claire. "So what's up with ye? Have ye eaten something that didnae agree with ye ...like a whole watermelon?"

Jamie choked and sputtered the wine he was drinking, and Willie began to thump him on the back. "What the fuck, Jamie?"

Before anyone could react, Rabbie reappeared at the table with a plate of white chocolate cheesecake drizzled with raspberry sauce. 

Immediately, his wife perked up. 

"Here, Claire, I ken ye like cheesecake," Rabbie offered after he'd slice a piece for her.

Jamie glowered at his brother, who always seemed to come out the good guy despite his cheekiness.

"Thank you, that's sweet," Claire smiled, unaware of the tension she'd created with her hormone-induced mood. "You're a star."

"Ye're welcome," Rabbie replied, launching Jamie a haughty look. 

Jenny peeked her head out of the kitchen. "Hey, Claire, do you want to try the tiramisu? I made it earlier with a bit of my own twist."

"No!" The moment Jamie shouted the word, he wished the floor would open up and swallow him in one whole. Everyone, including his wife, was staring at him with incredulity. "W-weel ..." he stammered, feeling the heat on the tips of his ears. "Tiramisu has raw eggs in it."

"And??" Everyone said all at once.

Uncle Lamb peered over the paper Claire was reading only a while ago and shook his head. "With all the information at your disposal and floating around the internet, I'm still surprised you kids still don't get it. Claire's pregnant."

Everyone stopped. Gaped. Jamie was relieved his wife's pregnancy was out, and it didn't come from him.

A big grin transformed Geillis' features. "I knew it!"

"I'm pregnant?" Claire smiled, her face turning angelic once more. "How did you know?" she asked Uncle Lamb.

Quentin folded the paper and sighed. "You're moody and Jamie's acting strange. Either yer hormones is rubbing off on your husband, or he knows about your pregnancy. Simple as that."

His wife gave him a questioning look, and Jamie had no choice but to get up from his chair and take Claire's hand. He excused themselves from their family and friends and tugged her into the kitchen. Once alone, he took her into his arms.

"We're pregnant, mo chridhe," he whispered and explained about the letter from earlier.

After Jamie was done, he stroked her hair while Claire tried to absorb the information.

When she finally spoke, she lifted her head and gifted him with a beautiful smile. "I can't believe you found out I'm pregnant before I did and I'm a doctor. Nothing is or would ever be conventional with us, is it Jamie?"

"I wouldnae ken what's conventional or no', but one thing I ken I wouldnae trade what we have for anything in the world. Ye're a funny lass, and I'm a complicated man, but our hearts are in the right place every single time when it comes to loving each other," he said gruffly. 

The low sun coming from the window caught the sheen in her eyes. "I suppose that's true and what we have between us is impossible to express at times. It's real, and it's humungous, and sometimes the magnitude of it creates imperfections. I embrace those imperfections because they mean I get to love the most wonderful man I know."

"And I get to be the luckiest bastard on earth. Look at what we've got, Sassenach," he said quietly, brushing a kiss across her forehead. "We've got everything. We have Faith and another baby on the way."

"Everything and much more," she breathed.

He leaned in and kissed her lips, lingering a moment before repeating the pledge he'd made on their wedding day and every day since. "You and me and our family, in it together."

"Forever and ever."

 The End

(未定事件簿) 莫弈 [剧情: 第1章] [Tears of Themis] Mo Yi Private Story Translations (Chapter 1-7)

*Tears of Themis Masterlist / Mo Yi’s Masterlist *Spoiler free: Translations will remain under cut *(y/n) is your name when in direct referral; otherwise referred to as MC. *He Kunpeng, the slimy flirt

Location: Campus Path

After confirming the strategy together with Mo Yi, I agreed to He Kunpeng's invitation.

We both went to see Lin Yunyun before the appointed meeting in the Dessert Shop.

I had originally intended to use facts, to let her see her "boyfriend" in his true colors. But her reactions had been beyond my expectations.

Lin Yunyun: No, I don't believe you! You just want to break or relationship up, don't you!? You even got yourself involved in ours. Is it that fun to destroy relationships between others!?

Lin Yunyun: No wonder he hasn't contacted me at all recently… It's all because of you!

MC: …...

I never thought that she actually believed He Kunpeng with all her heart.

Mo Yi: Is your obsession with this man because he told you that he'd marry you once you graduate and make you the co-owner of his own Dessert Shop?

She stiffened.

Lin Yunyun: Professor Mo… Why do you know that?

Mo Yi: Do you feel like meeting a man like him is the luckiest thing that has ever happened in your life after looking at all the Luxury Cars, Branded Watches and even the High Social Circles that he flaunts?

Lin Yunyun: ……

MC: Did he… Did he make you spend a lot of money on him?

Lin Yunyun: ...Yes. He said that he was still lacking in funds to open up his own Store despite how much he saved. So, I went around many places, borrowing money for him.

Mo Yi: You've already suspected him for quite a while now. Otherwise, you wouldn't have revealed so much information to me after the Sand-play Therapy.

Mo Yi: But you're unwilling to admit to your own failures and mistakes… because you've already paid so much that you're unable to accept this Sunk Cost.

She covered her face, bursting into tears in front of us.

Lin Yunyun: ... I've given him everything and now I'm in a huge debt… I've only known him for three months...and he has only ever given me a dress!

Lin Yunyun: Professor Mo, Teaching Assistant (Y/n), what should I do…?

Lin Yunyun: I can't pay my debt...I don't dare to tell my family about it and I can't file a police report about this either… I don't have anything anymore!!

Mo Yi: (Y/n)'s not my Teaching Assistant; she's a Lawyer from Themis Law Firm who has only stepped in and gotten herself involved in this to help you out of the trouble you're currently finding yourself in.

Upon hearing what he said, Lin Yunyun's sorrowful eyes lit up with a surge of hope.

Lin Yunyun: Really? You're a lawyer? Can you help me take him up to Court?

MC: I'll do my best.

Lin Yunyun: I'll tell you anything you wish to know!!

She swore to me while crying.

☆⋅⋆…⋅─────────── ⋆⋅✾⋅⋆ ───────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

We comforted her, telling her to let her family know of her situation and to not attempt another suicide, before leaving Stellis University.

Afterwards, I started preparing for my "Official Date" with He Kunpeng.

But no matter how much I tried to imagine how it would go in my head, this date still managed to surpass the threshold of my imagination.

☆⋅⋆…⋅─────────── ⋆⋅✾⋅⋆ ───────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

Location: Dessert Shop

He Kunpeng: (Y/n), do you know that French Desserts, like the Mont Blanc in front of you, were something that only Aristocrats could enjoy back then, in the past?

He Kunpeng: And there are even some Desserts out there that only Queens could enjoy; the Ultimate Delicacy.

He Kunpeng: I'm willing to make them all for you now, because you're the Queen of my Heart.

MC: I-Is that so… I'm so touched!

I did my best to arrange my facial muscles in a way that would make my smile appear more happier and sincere.

He Kunpeng: Of course! A nice girl like you has to be properly treasured and coddled.

The affectionate look he had on his face had me feeling a tad uncomfortable.

MC: ……

MC: (How, can he stand to be this greasy…?)

I moved the chair I was seated on, backwards, turning towards the transparent kitchens to look at Mo Yi, who had his head down, probably working on making Sweets.

MC: (So his "Change of Identity" was to disguise himself as one of the Pâtissiers in the shop.)

Being able to see Mo Yi just by looking up made me feel a little more at ease deep down.

MC: (Come on, I can do this! Bear with it a little more, me! This is all to help someone who's a victim of PUA! Think of Lin Yunyun! You can do this, me!)

He Kunpeng: Why the sigh?

MC: Oh, well, my previous relationship didn't turn out well and this is my first-time hearing someone of the opposite sex praise me, so I'm just feeling a little sentimental…

He Kunpeng: May I see your hand?

MC: Sure.

I stretched my palm out in front of him, trying my hardest to avoid having to touch his fingers.

He Kunpeng: Let's see... You are a kind and good girl but your heart thirsts for adventure.

He curled a corner of his lip, as if in a display of his devilish charm.

He Kunpeng: Don't worry, you can rest assured. I'll keep your secret. Pursing what you want is a good quality to have.

He Kunpeng: We are birds of the same feather, and as for what I wish to pursue... Would you like to garner a guess?

MC: And how...would I guess that, exactly?

He Kunpeng: Silly girl, isn't the answer right in front of my eyes? You are what I wish to pursue!

Even though I had already guessed the answer to his question a long time ago, it still felt slimy and awkward hearing it coming from him in person.

MC: I'm very happy to hear that...haha..ha..ha...

MC: Sorry, I'm going to go to the washroom, so could you wait here for me for a while?

I covered my face with my hands, pretending to weep tears of joy as I got out of my seat and made my speedy escape.

☆⋅⋆…⋅─────────── ⋆⋅✾⋅⋆ ───────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

Mo Yi quietly looked in his direction.

Perhaps he was distracted, for he made a mistake when piping with the piping bag in his hand. He had accidentally squeezed it a little too hard.

Pâtissier: Oh boy, you're going to ruin the shape of the batter's base if you're using that much force.

Mo Yi: Understood. I'll re-do another.

His chilly attitude shocked the Pastry Chef, for he still remembered the gentle expression the young man had on his face when he entered the baking kitchens.

Pâtissier: Do you know the girl outside?

Mo Yi didn't speak, only nodding.

Pâtissier: Don't hold it against me for speaking out of place, but...

Pâtissier: You should never, ever let that guy, He Kunpeng, take her away. He always hits on young girls.

Pâtissier: Don't hold it against me for speaking out of place, but...

Mo Yi: Thank you for your word of warning. I won't ever let them get together with each other.

He lowered his head, squeezing out another batch of perfectly shaped batter on the baking tray before settling the other ingredients.

Mo Yi: Besides, I don't think that guy can present himself better than I, in front of her anyway.

Pâtissier: Haa… Forget it, I won't butt into the issues of you youngsters.

☆⋅⋆…⋅─────────── ⋆⋅✾⋅⋆ ───────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

Mo Yi raised his head the moment the Pâtissier turned and left. His gaze returned to the man called He Kunpeng, his eyes filled with a mocking glint.

Mo Yi: Such innocent feelings they are, yet it attracted an annoying fly like him. How regrettable, and how very pitiful.

Mo Yi: Using lies to craft a dazzling package of paper and gold, to create the facade of a luxurious life… So fragile, that it can be unravelled at just a mere touch, yet enough to send innocent students who've just only stepped into University and yet to experience much of the outside world running to the Police...Heh.

He placed the baking tray into the oven, washing his hands that were covered in powdered sugar before picking up his phone.

☆⋅⋆…⋅─────────── ⋆⋅✾⋅⋆ ───────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

Location: Dessert Shop's Backdoor

I walked out of the Dessert Shop's toilet through the nearby Fire Exit, taking a deep breath of the fresh air outside.

MC: It's really way too difficult for me to act utterly besotted towards someone like him…

Reaching this train of thought, I gave myself another round of encouragement.

MC: Come on, you can do this, me! It's just acting in front of He Kunpeng! This year's Oscar belongs to me!

I turned around, carefully surveying the situation within the Store from the Fire Exit out back.

MC: But I suppose He Kunpeng has completely relaxed his guard around me by now. I do hope that this issue can be resolved smoothly, and that Lin Yunyun can finally step out of the shadows.

MC: Ugh, but I really don't want to go back and deal with the guy.

It's been a while since I had left for the washroom, so I had to get back soon, least it arouses his suspicion.

Right as I was leaving the washroom, my phone rang.

William Russell - The Traded American

Located in what was once known as Joliet, Illinois, the City of Joliet is quite unique among American towns. Not only was it originally a French community, it is one of only three American cities (along with Fort Wayne, Indiana and West Springfield, Massachusetts) to have been listed on the US map for years. Its proximity to Chicago and its close proximity to the Great Lakes area make it an ideal place for anyone who enjoys traveling and experiencing the great outdoors. Today, even as it continues to grow and develop, Joliet is recognized as a unique destination by many.

On July 4th, 18 37 William Monroe Trotter was born in Joliet. He was born in the City of Joliet but according to records, he was actually born in what is now Dubuque, Iowa. William is listed as being born in Joliet on the United States birth records for Illinois.

According to records, William was born in a small log cabin on a stream called Nine Mile Creek located in what is now Joliet, Illinois. William lived for several years in this cabin with his parents and other family members. William's childhood home can still be seen at the site of his birth home.

William grew up in Joliet and graduated from Joliet High School in 1969. He went on to graduate and go to college in the City of Joliet for two years. In July of 1970, William married Flo Medina. They had two children, a boy and a girl, who are both still living in Joliet. Their first child, Michael, was born in July of 1970 and their oldest child, Lisa, was born in July of 1974.

As a result, William's parents took him and his wife on a family vacation to Hawaii. While on this family vacation, William was bitten by a dog, which caused him to contract rabies. He passed away in Kapueokahi, Hawaii on July 8th, 1963. Today, he is recognized as one of the six qualified pitchers to ever have played for the Chicago White Sox. Two other players that are commonly referred to as White Sox pitchers are Frank White and Bobby Suttle.

According to a biography of William Russell, he was born in Joliet, Illinois. His father was a blacksmith and his mother was a school teacher. The youngster always kept in the back of his mind the thought that he would become a baseball player some day, as his father had encouraged him. Two other members of his immediate family also played professional baseball and these were his older brother, Charlie, and his younger brother, Mikey.

William Russell, who pitched for the Joliet Golf Club while growing up, was listed among the better pitching prospects in his draft class, but he was taken in the first round, Number Eight overall, by the Atlanta Braves. Two other members of the draft that year that were traded to the New York Yankees, pitcher Roger Clemens and minor leaguer Don Sutton. The trade that brought Russell to the majors was one of the more popular trades in baseball history.

Though he never suited up for a big league game, according to reports, Russell did manage to throw a complete game in what was then known as Exhibition baseball. The fact that he pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays does stand him out among other pitchers that have played for the United States baseball team. If you happen to know William Russell, he has claimed that the Toronto Blue Jay's manager, Lou Gehrig, knew that he was only a Minor League player when he was traded to the Atlanta Braves. There is no doubt that the man known as Russell the Younger, known affectionately as Mo, did contribute to the success of the Atlanta Braves' franchise.

Promise

Modern AU where Lan Zhan is a teacher at his family’s Music Academy, and one of his new pupils happens to bring him back in touch with one certain person...

(There’s an Illu at the end~ )

Lan Zhan wasn’t happy. He wasn’t miserable, but not happy either. He liked his job well enough, he lived in a good home, he wasn’t alone and he was safe. He was content, one could say.

He combs his hair as he does every morning, allowing only a few strands to fall forward to frame his face and goes to put on his clothes for the day. He wears a 3-part suit as always and tucks a pair of glasses into the breast pocket of his jacket.

It was his father’s.

Lan Zhan calmly pours himself a cup of tea and sets a bowl of oatmeal on the table in front of himself. He put some fresh fruits in the oatmeal, to ensure that he got the vitamins he needed.

He ate first, then drank his green tea and brought the dishes to the sink. He cleaned them quickly and checked the time. All perfect.

Seeing as he had everything prepared for now, he went into the living room and knelt in front of the cage that housed his rabbits. It took up almost half of the living room, but Lan Zhan wanted his rabbits to have enough room to hop about, even when he couldn’t take them out into the garden. He made sure they had their food and water, and picked up one of the rabbits to pet it.

Today was going to be the first day of school. Many new students would come in for the first time.

“Good morning, father,” said a soft voice from the doorway. Lan Yuan, Lan Zhan’s adoptive son.

“Good morning,” Lan Zhan replied and set down the rabbit again. He closed the cage again and turned his attention to his son, who had gone to the kitchen to prepare his breakfast.

The boy was very independent, rising without needing Lan Zhan to wake him up, and making his own breakfast without needing Lan Zhan’s help at all.

Sometimes Lan Zhan wished the boy relied more on him. The memories of a clingy child are still vivid in his mind, and it makes his heart ache a bit.

But it’s better this way. Independence in all aspects of life paves the way for a good path towards the future.

“Did you sleep well?” Lan Zhan asked and poured a cup of tea for his son before the boy could do it. Lan Yuan smiled.

“I did. Did you?” he replied after he thanked his father for the tea.

“I am glad,” Lan Zhan said softly and threw a glance at the clock. “I did as well after meditating for thirty minutes,” he added.

Lan Yuan’s smile got a bit wider.

“Are you excited to get new students?” he asked, knowing the answer already.

“We discover promising talents every year,” Lan Zhan said mildly. Lan Yuan knew this was an enthusiastic ‘Yes’. He started eating contently.

The kitchen was silent except for the soft clatter of Lan Yuan’s spoon and bowl.

As they do every morning Lan Zhan and Lan Yuan walk to school. It gives them some time to greet the day, get some fresh air and get some good exercise.

It took them about forty minutes to arrive at the Lan An Music Academy. One of, if not the most prestigious school for ambitious musical prodigies.

Over twenty years ago Lan Zhan had learned here under the guidance of his uncle. Now that his uncle had retired, Lan Zhan taught in his place. Lan Huan, Lan Zhan’s elder brother had taken over as the school’s chairman.

Needless to say that the Lan An Music Academy was a family-business.

One day, most were certain, Lan Yuan or Lan Jingyi - the son of a relative - would take over after Lan Zhan and Lan Huan.

That was all in a distant future though, as today both juniors were mere students at the academy. It was actually Lan Jingyi’s first day today.

The boy was finally old enough to attend at the academy. He was actually two years younger than Lan Yuan. The two boys were good friends though and always got along nicely.

Finally it was time for Lan Zhan to meet and greet his new students. Many young teenagers piled into his classroom, chatting and talking as they settled in their seats. It was the usual and Lan Zhan used the time before class started to write his name on the blackboard for everyone to see.

8 am. The bell rang.

“Good morning class,” Lan Zhan said, bowing his head. “You will stand from your seats when you greet me. I am your teacher, Lan Zhan. You may address me as Teacher Zhan,” he explained calmly.

On cue the whole class rose to their feet and greeted him.

“Good morning Teacher Zhan!”

Lan Zhan nodded. “Very well, you may sit,” he said and picked up the list of students in his class.

“I will go through all of your names now. Please stand up when you hear your name and tell us al little about yourself and why you came here,” Lan Zhan said and started at the top of the list.

He made it down to Lan Jingyi, and the boy eagerly introduced himself.

“I am Lan Jingyi, 14 years old! I am here because I’m a Lan. And because my best friend is here too, and I want to be as good as him!” he said, a tad too loud, bouncing on his heels as he spoke. “I don’t play an instrument though. I sing!” he added quickly before he forgot.

Lan Zhan found himself smiling at the youth’s enthusiasm.

“Very well,” he said and gestured for Lan Jingyi to sit down again. “Now, Mo Xuanyu,” he read from his list.

A young man, who was obviously a good bit older than the others stood up. Lan Zhan thought his heart would stop for a moment.

“I... am Mo Xuanyu,” he said hesitantly. “I am 24 years old.”

If he hadn’t heard the young man’s name just now, and if he didn’t hear his voice, Lan Zhan would have mistaken him for somebody else. The fact that the young man wore a t-shirt that was painfully familiar to the teacher didn’t make it easier.

He would recognize that shirt anywhere. That hand-dyed shirt that had once been purple with a white lotus was now black with a red lotus. He recognized the slight patches of purple that showed through the washed out black dye, and the blotchy red that colored the lotus. This was the same shirt as the one he had worn back then...

A moment passed in silence until Lan Zhan realized that Mo Xuanyu hadn’t said anything else.

“Tell us about yourself,” Lan Zhan encouraged. Mo Xuanyu jumped as though he had been struck.

“I’m... W-Wei... I mean...” he broke off and dug his fingers into his shirt as though it was the only thing adhering him to the earth.

“Do not push yourself,” Lan Zhan said and gestured for Mo Xuanyu to sit down again, not wanting him to get even more anxious.

In truth, he himself wasn’t sure if he could have maintained his cool facade if the young man had continued talking. Through his stuttering Lan Zhan couldn’t be certain, but he could have sworn he heard him say ‘Wei’.

Wei Ying, his heart whispered.

Lan Zhan didn’t allow himself to listen to that whisper, turning his attention back to the class instead, where multiple youngsters were pointing and laughing at Mo Xuanyu the stutterer.

“Silence!” Lan Zhan commanded. “Harassment of your fellow classmates will not be tolerated!” he pointed out and glared into the room.

Nobody dared to even breathe, as the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

The rest of the day went by mostly uneventful.

All students were given their copy of the rule book, everyone was assigned to their specific courses and everything went well for the most part. Well, that was if you looked past the fact that Mo Xuanyu had barely spoken since that first introduction, preferring to answer questions through gestures if at all.

Lan Zhan at least found out that the youth played the Dizi - his heart gave another painful stutter at that - and that he hadn’t played it for a long time yet.

It was hard to talk to the young man though, with the rest of the class still present, so Lan Zhan asked Mo Xuanyu to stay behind with him so they could talk in a quieter setting.

He noticed how the youth’s cheeks flushed a deep red color for a second, before his face turned ghostly pale. His anxiety was tangible.

Still, Lan Zhan needed to find out how he could help his student and he was going to find a way.

When class was over everyone left, except for Mo Xuanyu. Lan Zhan had half expected him to run away so he wouldn’t have to face him, but apparently the young man knew to follow rules that his teachers set up.

Lan Zhan sat down on an empty seat near Mo Xuanyu and gave him a moment to calm down.

“Mo Xuanyu,” he said then, “I would like to assure you that you are not in trouble, alright?”

The young man gasped, then nodded, then bowed.

Lan Zhan wanted to assure him that such a thing wasn’t necessary, but he saw the young man’s back moving slower now, his breathing less erratic and panicked, and he thought maybe this helped him calm himself?

“I can see that you are not comfortable with a large group of people, so I want to find out how I can help you feel more comfortable,” Lan Zhan explained slowly.

Mo Xuanyu raised his head a little and looked up at Lan Zhan.

He smiled widely and reached out to grasp Lan Zhan’s hands in both of his.

“Thank you!” he said quickly, then released his hands and recoiled. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry...!”

This emotional whiplash was surprising to say the least, but Lan Zhan was determined not to let it get to him. This young man likely had gone through some difficult things and he wouldn’t shun or discriminate against him for that reason.

He had just managed to gather his thoughts again when he heard his voice.

“A-Yu! A-Yu...!”

Mo Xuanyu perked up and without another word, without even gathering his belongings rushed out.

“Wei-Ge!” he called.

Lan Zhan rose to his feet and turned towards the door where he saw... him.

Wei Ying.

Mo Xuanyu had attached himself to Wei Ying’s arm, smiling widely. Standing side by side like this one could almost mistake them for siblings.

“Where’s your stuff, A-Yu? How was your day, hm?” Wei Ying spoke softly to his... ward?

Mo Xuanyu sheepishly turned around and pointed to his seat. Wei Ying smiled and looked in the direction that Mo Xuanyu pointed... and met Lan Zhan’s eyes.

For a moment the two of them just stared in silence, neither able to find the words to say.

Then, after Mo Xuanyu tugged on Wei Ying’s arm, he broke the silence.

“Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying acknowledged.

“Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan responded and curled his hands into fists to keep himself grounded. “I... am glad you are well,” he managed to add. Even to somebody who didn’t know him his voice must have sounded tense and nervous.

A grin spread on Wei Ying’s face and it was easy to see that Mo Xuanyu’s smile was almost a perfect copy of that grin.

“I am well indeed!” Wei Ying said and slung his arm around Mo Xuanyu’s shoulders, “My, isn’t A-Yu lucky to be taught by none other than Lan-Er-Gege~?”

Lan Zhan’s ears burned.

Mo Yuanyu looked between them a few times, then turned towards Wei Ying.

“Wei-Ge knows Teacher Zhan?”

Wei Ying didn’t get a chance to reply when a quiet knock on the door frame could be heard.

“Father?”

Wei Ying and Mo Xuanyu turned around to see a teenager standing in the doorway.

“Oh? Lan Zhan, your son?” Wei Ying asked and stepped aside with Mo Xuanyu to let the teen pass.

Lan Yuan gave the two a quick bow.

“Actually... I am adopted,” he said, ever the proper young gentleman, “My name is Lan Yuan.”

Now it was Wei Ying’s turn to fall into shock.

There was no way, right? This was just a silly coincidence... it had to be. Not every child by the name of Yuan had to be his A-Yuan, right? Right?

A-Yu’s cousin was called A-Yuan too after all, so what were the odds?

But this boy... no... it couldn’t be.

“Wei-Ge?” A-Yu tugged on Wei Ying’s sleeve.

“Is... Lan Zhan... is he...?”

“Yes.”

As the two adults stared at each other, seemingly screaming at each other in utter silence the two youths nervously exchanged glances.

Something was going on, and neither of them knew what.

Finally Wei Ying looked down at Lan Yuan.

“A-Yuan?” he whispered, his voice heavy with emotion.

Lan Yuan didn’t know who this man was. Why he looked at him like a mother at her child, why his voice trembled so much. And he didn’t know why his own heart clenched when he heard the sound of his name like this.

Seeing that Lan Yuan didn’t recognize him at all Wei Ying pulled back and laughed.

“Ah, you must have been too young to remember me... ahahaha...” he laughed, trying to act like he didn’t want to cry for hours.

A-Yu noticed though. He knew the sound of Wei-Ge’s tears; he knew they sounded like laughter.

Lan Zhan knew it too.

He hadn’t understood it 13 years ago, but now he did.

“Wei Ying,” he said softly, catching the man’s attention again. “I would like to talk to you and your...” he interrupted himself, realizing that he still didn’t know what kind of relationship Mo Xuanyu and Wei Ying actually had.

“Child,” Wei Ying said with a bubbling laughter. “A-Yu is my child. Not as in... I’m his parent, but he’s my child,” he added as though that explained anything. He rubbed his neck then bit his lip.

“Ah... I’d love to, Lan Zhan,” he said and nudged Mo Xuanyu to gather his things. “I need to run some errands today, but how about tomorrow after class is over?” he offered.

Lan Zhan nodded without thinking. He would have time for Wei Ying, he promised himself.

Wei Ying smiled.

“Great! Please be kind to my child tomorrow!” he said and grabbed Mo Xuanyu’s hand once the youth came to his side with his bag.

And with that they were gone.

If not for Lan Yuan’s confused looks and the warmth in his heart Lan Zhan would have thought he’d dreamed up the whole thing.

But Mo Xuanyu’s name was still on his list and as he went to gather his things from the desk he heard that laughter all the way from the gate of the academy. He glanced out the window and his heart skipped a beat when he saw Wei Ying waving up at him from the gate.

Looking at him like this it was almost as though 13 years hadn’t gone by.

He could easily superimpose the memory of Wei Ying’s younger appearance over his current self. The same smile, the same exuberant energy. For that brief moment at least he could pretend like he didn’t see the shadow.

He waved back ever so slightly and earned a grin that made his heart melt.

“Father?” Lan Yuan asked softly and stood by his father’s desk.

Lan Zhan turned towards him. “Yes?”

“Who is that man?” Lan Yuan asked hesitantly. Lan Zhan smiled faintly.

“He... is the one who cared for you before I adopted you,” he said finally after mulling over his words for a moment.

Lan Yuan’s eyes widened. “He... is he... my actual father...?” he whispered. Lan Zhan’s smile softened a bit and he placed his hand on Lan Yuan’s shoulder.

“No. But he loves you no less,” Lan Zhan said with a sigh.

“May I come along, tomorrow?” Lan Yuan asked nervously.

“I’m sure he wouldn’t mind,” Lan Zhan assured.

And so, on the next day, after class had ended the four of them went to the nearby park.

Lan Yuan watched the way Wei Ying supported Mo Xuanyu, who had once again attached himself to Wei Ying’s arm.

There seemed to be something in the gleam of Wei Ying’s eyes, the way he smiled fondly at his ‘child’, that brought warm feelings to Lan Yuan’s heart, that he couldn’t quite place.

Wei Ying noticed the nervous glances the teenager threw in his direction and smiled at him.

Before long the four of them had reached a free bench and sat down.

“A-Yuan, what instrument do you play?” Wei Ying asked without preamble. His question surprised Lan Yuan, who would have expected the man to address his father first instead of himself.

“I... play the Guqin,” he replied and held back a little gasp when the look in Wei Ying’s eyes grew so tender it made him feel humble and undeserving.

“Like your father, I see?” he said and glanced at Mo Xuanyu. “A-Yu plays the Dizi, like me,” he said and gave his ‘child’ a nudge.

“Why don’t you two talk some? Maybe you find some songs you both like?” he offered when neither one of the two moved.

A-Yu, as Wei Ying called him, rose to his feet and held out his hand to Lan Yuan.

“I... can show you W-Wei-Ge’s favorite song,” he said when the the teen hesitated.

“Go ahead,” Lan Zhan encouraged when Lan Yuan threw him an uncertain glance. “We will be here,” he added.

Assured by his father Lan Yuan allowed this strange young man to tug him along to one of the flower beds, where he picked a few flowers. Lan Yuan wanted to stop him, but before he could Mo Xuanyu had already tucked the flowers into Lan Yuan’s hair.

Wei Ying watched, chuckling softly.

Lan Zhan watched him.

“Wei Ying,” he said.

“Yes,” Wei Ying said and leaned back on the bench. “A-Yu was abused at home. I met him this year at the clinic, and somehow I just couldn’t leave him be.”

There he went. Jumping straight into the heart of the issue. His boldness though allowed him to bypass the little shards in his heart that truly hurt.

“I helped him express himself through music, and I thought the Academy would be a good place for him, because he’s got talent,” Wei Ying continued. A quiet melody mingled with his voice as he spoke.

Lan Zhan had to take a deep breath before he said anything.

“I understand.”

“How did you adopt A-Yuan?”

Lan Zhan hadn’t been ready for those silver eyes staring into his own. Years upon years of that cheerful voice calling for him to look at him echoed in his mind, ignored and avoided time and time again because these eyes made him weak.

“Paramedics found him. Brought him to the same hospital as the one where I was...” Lan Zhan admitted, “Met him by chance and... couldn’t leave him be.”

Wei Ying’s eyes widened a bit, and a grin spread on his lips.

“When did you gain a sense of humor, huh? Quoting my words back at me like that?” He laughed and gave Lan Zhan’s shoulder a friendly nudge.

“When I raised A-Yuan,” Lan Zhan said fondly and looked over at the two youngsters.

“Wei-Ge told me a secret,” Mo Xuanyu whispered at Lan Yuan. The younger boy raised an eyebrow.

Mo Xuanyu nodded and grinned.

“He said you should be my little brother!”

Lan Yuan was silent.

Mo Xuanyu didn’t seem to mind and tucked another flower behind Lan Yuan’s ear.

“I want a little brother like A-Yuan,” Mo Xuanyu sighed.

“But you don’t even know what I’m like...” Lan Yuan murmured. Mo Xuanyu smiled widely.

“But I’ll find out if you are my brother. Also, Wei-Ge told me things,” he added giggling.

That giggle sounded suspicious to Lan Yuan and he leaned in to inquire quietly, “What things?”

“Cute things,” Mo Xuanyu replied, still giggling. “About a little baby that liked to cling to people’s legs and call Wei-Ge Mama one time,” he whispered.

For some reason, even though Lan Yuan had absolutely no memory of ever doing such things, he felt his cheeks grow hot.

Wei Ying wondered what the kids were talking about when he saw A-Yuan’s cheeks turn red. Maybe that unruly child of his had told him the secret he had told him? Admittedly, he had told A-Yu so he could tease A-Yuan about it.

Lan Zhan threw him a glance.

“Wei Ying,” he started and waited for the other to look at him. “I want to be considerate of Mo Xuanyu’s situation,” he explained.

“You want to know how to do it?” Wei Ying guessed easily.

Lan Zhan nodded.

Wei Ying laughed and shook out his hair.

“Ah... ah, well... Give him time, I guess,” he said and when Lan Zhan looked at him in a way that told him he wasn’t convinced, Wei Ying shrugged.

“What? I’m not a psychologist,” he pointed out.

Lan Zhan shook his head, “No, but he likes you.” Wei Ying chuckled.

“Do you want him to like you?”

“I want him to not be afraid of me at least.”

Wei Ying sighed.

“Give him time,” he repeated. “I got close to him because... well, I was that uncle who kept pestering until he learned that I mean no harm,” he added when Lan Zhan looked at him again.

“Oh don’t look at me like that, I just talked to him when I saw him in the cafeteria or in the hallways. I didn’t actually pester him, what kind of person do you think I am?!”

Lan Zhan smiled faintly.

After a moment Wei Ying called A-Yu over to their side again. A-Yuan followed at a slight distance and Wei Ying couldn’t help but notice that the teen’s cheeks were still tinted pink.

“A-Yu,” Wei Ying said and pulled the younger male onto the bench so he sat between him and Lan Zhan. “I talked to Lan-Er-Gege,” he started, grinning when he saw Lan Zhan’s ears reddening. “And I asked him to be patient with you, okay?”

Mo Xuanyu squirmed a bit, sitting as close as physically possible to Wei Ying.

“I... don’t want to be afraid...” he whispered into Wei Ying’s shoulder.

“I know, A-Yu,” Wei Ying assured patiently.

Mo Xuanyu turned to face Lan Zhan, but he couldn’t look at him for more than a moment before hiding his face against Wei Ying’s shoulder again.

Lan Yuan stood in front of Mo Xuanyu.

“You don’t need to be afraid of him,” he said.

Wei Ying wanted to say something, but stopped himself. A-Yu knew that he didn’t need to fear adults, but he couldn’t help himself. But maybe if someone whom he considered closer to his age told him not to be afraid... maybe it’d work?

For a while the two looked at each other, Lan Yuan smiling softly, while Mo Xuanyu slowly managed to let go of Wei Ying’s arm.

“W-what does... he do when he’s... angry at you...?” he whispered so quietly that Lan Yuan had to lean in closer to understand him.

“Nothing,” he said and shrugged. “Well, he may be a bit stern and if I do something really bad he’ll make me copy the rule book... but otherwise nothing.”

Wei Ying put on a smile.

“Lan-Er-Gege would never hurt you,” he assured, before Lan Zhan himself could say anything. “And if he does, I’ll beat him up,” he added jokingly.

A part of Lan Zhan felt that he meant it though. If he ever laid a hand on Wei Ying’s ‘child’ he would bleed for it.

“I am your teacher, Mo Xuanyu,” Lan Zhan said, “it is my job to teach you, to help you evolve your abilities and gain knowledge; to guide you ahead,” he explained. “None of these involve pain or violence.”

They spent some more time walking and chatting that day before parting ways. They left each other with the promise to meet up again.

They kept that promise.

The Metrosexual Male vs. The Cowboy - What Do Women Want?

He always looks perfectly put together. He can be in a t-shirt and jeans or headline out to a black-tie event. His hair never has a evil day. His nails are clean and buffed. His clothes are perfectly pressed and exquisitely coordinated. He smells like flowers and spice. Is he gay? No, he's the new metrosexual man.

As dozens of you know by now, the semester "metrosexual" was coined by a journalist (and gay man) named Mark Simpson, to describe a new kind of urban male who is straight, but in effect with his feminine period and not afraid to bazaar it. Essentially, metrosexuals are guys who income on behaviors and show an interest in things that have traditionally belonged in the noblewoman domain.

You may have a metrosexual brother, male supporter or boyfriend (ex). These are the guys you can studio till you drop with. They tins discuss fashion, evidence poster your great new shoes, buy their scrubbing merchandise from the same role you do and have no qualms roughly owning a manicure, pedicure or facial. You tins actually TALK to these guys roughly something other than sports, cars and other traditionally male interests. These are the guys you can profits to the opera, symphony and ballet. The perfect man, right? Depends on whom you dialogue to.

Let's step back a minute and seeming at the where and how of the life of the metrosexual man. Simply put, he is a result of feminism and the changing roles and related expectations of women. As women have moved into (previously) male dominated environments and roles, it has caused a incantation in the male-female balance. Women are now active partaker in industry, politics and the professions- to name a few. However, as they have left their old jobs as homemakers and full-time domestic caregivers, they left a lot of empty hiatus to be filled. Childcare providers and the domestic washing trade could provide some of this. The problem was all the "other" objective women had always done.

Men were therefore called upon to contribute more to the raising of children, housework, cooking, shopping, argentum Their sons were beings exposed a new role model, a papa who took on jobs and chores that had traditionally belonged to mom. Young son themselves were also entity tapped to do housework and help with siblings, exposing them to a new funds of creature a male in our society. Women had become more independent and financially and professionally successful. Men had become more domestic and had to soften their way as they moved into more traditionally feminine roles.

A new social lineup had evolved that worked for everyone, right? Not necessarily. We never profits on something new without appointing something up. So, what has been discarded? Clearly defined social roles and the anticipation that come with them- for starters. Suddenly there was a new plan for how men and women should relate- especially in the den of dating. However, it was unclear and depending upon whom you asked, you would get a different answer. Usher in the confusion and disappointment surrounding dating in the new millennium.

Women ask dispute such as:

* who asks who out

* who calls who

* who pays

* who makes decisions closely where to go, etc.

* What are the anticipation at the end of the date

* how soon should we become intimate

Women trace on:

* his lack of encouragement in goal or asking her out

* his expectations that they testament go dutch

* how he never offers to choice her up

* his overall avoidance of assertiveness

* his saying he will call, but not following through

* his too polished kind which lacks a certain spark of masculinity

* his holding longer to get ready than she does

* his crudeness or over aggressive style

* his expectations that they will have sex

Men ask misgiving such as:

* what do women want

* why should a guy have to ask a fellow out

* why should the fellow always pay

* why do women opinion they need sensitivity, etc., but see guys like that as wimps

* why do girlfriend give out such mixed signals in general

* why do women seem to reject nice guys and go for jerks

* why can't a hens be the aggressor

Men shadow on:

* girlfriend acting spoiled

* girlfriend wanting their independence, money but not wanting equal debt and weight

* women expecting a fold from men, but offering little in return

* women not knowing what they want

* girlfriend playing games

* women's lottery to "bad boys"

Both women and men verbalize that they are OK with the turning roles that have evolved for them in our society, yet I hear both dialogue wistfully approx how it was in previous generations. Back then; everyone KNEW what was expected from him or her. Life was predictable. Dating was scads simpler and "safer". Men were men and women were raised to be wives and homemakers. We have gained something and we have lost something. One thing for sure, we can never have it both ways.

What's the answer? It is never simple. However, it does involve better copulation in general between men and women. Singles conditions to clarify for themselves (first), what stripes of counterpart they seek and what their anticipation from a closeness really are. Once a person is clear about what they must have and what they can't live with, they necessities to go out and HONESTLY seek that. Knowing what you event is good. If you turn off someone by your frankness, he/she was not the someone for you.

So, begin with a self-assessment. Then go out and pursue interests and environments, which maximize your danger of appointment compatible singles. And remember, there is no perfect person. He may be overly fussy with his hair, revenue longer in the bath than bulk women, be less ambitious in his maintenance life than you are and put your cooking to shame. However, if he's sensitive to YOUR needs, easy to dialogue to and entertainment to be with, great with youngster and very supportive of your goals, he may be the fellow of your dreams.

Baby Ducks In The FP - TWB70

The FP is like Breaking: Electric Boogaloo set in a dystopian society of young twenty somethings who don’t know any better about the real world.

Frazier Park and the 248

Frazier Park, a subdivision somewhere in the greater state of California where wars aren’t fought over color or race but by county lines and dance. Not the Samba, not ballet, no crunk, but video game dance battles. Beat Beat Revolution, similar but exactly equal to the popular ninities arcade Dance Dance Revolution encourages battlers to pop, lock, and step in the name of where you from for points earned and undeniable street cred. Hit your mark and you live to fight dance another day. Too bad for BTRO, leader of the 248. Good guy living in a bad town. He danced till he couldn’t dance anymore. Poor fella's heart gave out in a dance battle against the penultimate villain next door, L Dubba E, who is just as annoying as his name sounds. Sure BTRO could’ve been roofied or maybe lugging about in a huge pair knee high ultra space boots wasn’t the best choice of footwear when playing a game where you must step on small lily pad sized shapes in an effort to score big. Not knocking his style but those boots weren't made for walking, it's not just what they do. One of this days those boots are going to dance all over you. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Soul Man, 1986.[/caption]

Hero is In The DNA

JTRO, brother to BTRO and witness to his fall from grace, leaves the 248 in great hero fashion to grieve for a period of time unknown to everyone but the screenwriter of this film. There was a montage, so we must assume it’s been, like, fitty years since he's been gone. Okay, more like two at the most. Dude didn’t even grow a beard by the time KCDC trekked across the small stretch of highway in a beat up ol’ Honda in search of the forgotten 248 heir to the throne. JTRO, self exiled 248 member, made good with his time getting swole carry wood and chopping logs. When KCDC finds him, and pleads for the hero to return home, JTRO refuses. The 248 ain’t his life no mo. "I’d rather bust these logs and dream of my dead brother and question why he wore those damn boots anyway. He knew they were too big!” Frustration aside, JTRO understood what he must do: he most return to the FP.

A fallen tree in a forest doesn’t make a sound. However, revenge screams like a mutha effing donkey on steroids. FP Homecoming

Home isn’t like it use to be. With the 249 in charge it’s like 1940’s prohibition up in the 248. L Dubba E, heir to the one liquor store in town has stopped service the 248 disrupting life as we knew little of it; we can only assume that shit is bad on a dystopian level. No drink means the bums are dry and if the bums are dry, then the baby ducks don’t get fed. The baby ducks don’t get fed. Not my words. All credit goes to KCDC for that, which is the best line of the entire film and there are some doozies.

TRO Hearts Stacey In The Fp

Fathers, be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do But without the drink, fathers becomes assholes and beat up on their daughters. No heroes journey is complete without a damsel in distress and as harsh and real as John Mayer sung that beautifully crafted song, Stacey is a complete mess. We don’t even know why JTRO would even bother, but we do know that he didn’t take a shot in high school. As she was blowing through guys, JTRO respected the and like the girl enough as not to be just another bike ride. He’s dizzy without even have slept with the girl and among other horrible attributes, she’s hanging withL Dubba E who we can only assume has herpes of the everything. But a hero has chilvery etched into his DNA, and JTRO can’t fight that feeling of wanting to save his Winnie Cooper. Maybe she is cute, in that Betty on crack next door type of way or maybe it’s because he only sees out of one eye. Did I mention JTRO wears an eye patch?

The Redeemer

No redemption song is complete without it’s maestro, BLT, to lead the redeemer to salvation. Through training and excessive hard work, JTRO will work his way to the supreme status of sleeping within the trainers quarters. Scrubs sleep outside. To be the best and covet a comfortable mattress, JTRO will have to be the best, but unfortunately his vision is cloudy — he lacks focus. That girl got him dizzy! No heroes journey goes without a training montage! (Jamaican Horns Here)

Running

Weights

Running with weights, DC, piggyback

Dragging a tire

Beat Beat Revolution Waffles sandwiches

And electrified tennis racquets - now lasts some low grade Rocky shit

NIGGA

N: Never I: Ignorant G: Getting G: Goals A: Accomplished Didn’t really bother me. Well, it did before this stupid ass validation as to why they allowed KCDC used it so freely when I saw no black people in this film. Middle class youngster during the nineties and up till now, still find it okay to use the word nigga when there isn't a black person around to correct them. Some of them just don't care because they're hip, listen to rap music, and have a couple of black friends. Words of wisdom: you will still get your ass whipped. Just saying.

Stripper Shame

I was more upset over the tire stripper pool. Okay, this is the moment in the heroes journey when he’s tested before the final face off with L Double E . JTRO, his trainer BLT, and KCDC invade a party hosted in the 138, a ramshackle Russian Trailerhenge park where dreams go to die. This is where we not only find the girl, Stacey, but our boys happen upon a tire stripper pole based in a pool of water. Now that’s trashy. Isn’t stripping for those idiots in that town insulting enough? You have this poor dunk girl —because alcohol how she eases the pain — swaying to in fro on a pole mounted in a tire surrounded by water in a kiddie pool? Now, that’s offensive. To test his training, JTRO has to entertain the musing of another loud mouth idiot who resembles a smaller and lest cool Gary Oldman from True Romance. It’s in this scene we learn what truly broke his brother BTRO, however, the characters never elude to the fact that BTRO was drugged before his death match with Double L, and the life hack to never send anyone to get you a drink. Date rape rule #1: Order your own drink and watch the bartender make it yourself, ladies.

BTRO Avenged!

The best two moments from this Beat Beat Revolution dance off is the bystander cuffing a woman’s breast for no apparent reason than to show a man holding one beast of a nonchalant woman and the fact that the death match was enclosed inside a ratty mesh cage. Yes, a cage match, people! If you’ve ever played DDR, you should understand how ridiculous this is as you literally jump, hop, and step in place to play this game. A cage ain’t gonna do nothing for you but give somebody tetanus in this instance. After the hero avenges his brother’s death, a fight breaks out and somebody pulls a gun. This was by far the best directed sequence in the movie. The effects were well done and the action scenes were quite impressive for a film on a limited budget. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5QtZs09_0Y

The FP Does Not Get Made Without Overwhelming Support

As ridiculous a film this is; The FP does not get made if not for the support of family, friends, and the entire 248. Someone had to read this script and question whether the Trost Bros. had lost their collective minds. It’s in this support from I assume the place he’s from that this film shows its true heart. Listed in the credits: * Trost Bros. - Written and Directed * Ron Trost - Ex Producer/ Effects Coordinator * Sarah Trost - Costume * Brandon Trust - Directory of Photography * Jason Trost - Story By No matter how bad the film might be, it takes a lot of effort to pull together the resources to complete such an endeavor. Kudos to all involved in the production of this film. They were successful in their efforts to get a sequel made to The FP, and are currently in post-production. So, if this podcast episode encourages anyone to watch this movie, then maybe that’ll encourage you to support the sequel whenever it releases.

Talking With Burritos Presents A New Episode!

Flood my Mornings: Plymouth Trace

Notes from Mod Bonnie:

This story takes place in an AU in which Jamie travels through the stones two years after Culloden and finds Claire and his child in 1950 Boston.

See all past installments via Bonnie’s Master List

Previous installment: Liberty and License (A trip to the DMV)

PLYMOUTH TRACE

Later that same afternoon September, 1950

“Daddy!!!” 

I parked Penelope’s car at the curb in front of the house, and got out quickly to see Bree pelting down the front stairs toward Jamie, who had stepped out of the ‘49 Ford he’d pulled carefully into the driveway. He’d been doubling back to come greet me, but hearing his daughter’s squeals, he turned and crouched down in the grass for interception.

Bree, however, was far more excited about the new car. Instead of flinging herself into Jamie’s arms, she made a sharp left and thudded herself into the front passenger door with both hands. Liking the sound immensely, she began pummeling the door further, jumping up and down and shrieking with giggles as she did so.

“No-no-no, a nighean,” Jamie said sharply as he reached her and grabbed both her hands away.

Bree jumped, startled and horrified by his harsh tone. Jamie was so unfailingly gentle with her, always, that for a moment, I thought she was going to burst out into tears. Jamie realized this, too, and quickly released her hands, laying one of his own against the gleaming paint of the car door. “Now, wee Bree, ye mustna hit our Bonnie. Ye wouldna wish to hurt her feelings by thrashing her about, aye?”

“Bonnie?” I laughed, incredulous as I came to stand with Mrs. Byrd, “Is that its name??”

“‘Tis her name,” Jamie said with dignity, though I could see the corner of his mouth twitching. To Bree, he encouraged, “Can ye say ‘hello’ to Bonnie Blue?”

Without missing a beat, Bree took a step back and waved at the car. “Hiiii-lo, Bobbie bloo!”

We all laughed and Jamie kissed her cheek. “Aye, that’s right, cub. We all must be verra gentle and sweet to Miss Bonnie so she lasts a good long while.”

Bree looked pensive for a moment, considering, then walked forward to lay an unutterably delicate kiss on the driver’s door. 

“‘Inna laff-me!” she scolded as we all did. She pointed a stern finger at Jamie, then the car. “M’kissie, Da.”

Jamie opened his mouth to decline, then removed his hat and laid a soft kiss on the handle. “How’s that, cub?” he asked Bree with a grin. 

“’S’okay,” she said with a curt nod, rising on tiptoes to peer in the side mirror.

Jamie laughed, standing, “She’ll keep a man verra humble, one day, that one.”

Jamie was like a bronze statue behind the wheel, impeccable and sure in his movement. It was the deliberateness, the same steeled concentration in his eye that he’d used in battle. At the wheel, he used it to be cautious, careful, erring on the side of slowness for the sake of accuracy. Still, while we were puttering along at about the same speed as an octogenarian on foot, the set of his jaw made him look so…

“Damn me, but you do look sexy doing that, Jamie.”

“Oh, aye?” he said, not taking his eye from the road, but the corners of his mouth crooked downward: a suppressed smile.

“Indeed, you do,” I confirmed matter-of-factly, scooting closer to him on the wide seat and reaching out a delicate finger to trace his arm. “Positively rakish.”

“More so than when I’m about other activities?”

“Oh, in terms of sexiness, this is ranking in your top five activities, to be sure,” I said, with mock solemnity. 

He snorted. “Not that I’m no’ sensible of the compliment, but I canna quite see how turning a steering wheel should be at all rousing to ye.” 

“Welll….” I kept my face intentionally composed, tracing the tendons of his right hand, feeling the strength in them as they grasped the self-same wheel. “Do you…happen to know what the kids do, when they ‘go for a drive’?”

“Other than getting to their intended destination, ye mean?”

“The destination is everything,” I said dramatically, walking my fingers up his arm. “They find a secluded spot to park the car…” I leaned forward and breathed in his ear, “…and then set about to…. not enjoy the scenery.”

He shivered at my touch and his fingers tightened a bit on the steering wheel but he didn’t seem in the least bit shocked. “Aye, seems reasonable, there being fewer cow byres and springhouses to which the youngsters might secrete themselves.”

“Oh-ho! And just who was young Jamie Fraser secreting with in cow byres, might I ask?”

“And I might just as easily inquire with whom it was that ye *didna* enjoy the scenery, Sassenach…” he said sardonically. 

“Oh, really!” I swatted him, making him laugh and playfully swat me back. “Teenagers didn’t have cars when I was at the cavorting age, you oaf! Movies,” I drawled, seeing his puzzlement. “Lovers’ Lanes are common spots for young people to—” Ahah, how to explain this one? “—get murdered in gory films.”

“Jesus CHRIST, Sassenach,” Jamie said in alarm, taking his eye from the road a moment to give me a look of deep revulsion. “Folk enjoy seeing young couples getting—killed?”

“They’re not all about people getting—Oh never mind, I will get you to the cinema eventually, but anyway, I also happen to know more about driving dates than I’d wish because I have the joy of being a compulsory member of the debriefing committee for Della O’ Malley’s courting escapades.”

“Ah, our wee Della,” Jamie sighed ruefully, turning right. “She must get herself marrit, soon, or she’ll end up so entangled she’ll need to be pruned,” he laughed.  “So…whereabouts is the ‘Lovers’ Lane’ in these parts, then?”

“Oh, there are many, I’m sure. But Della’s favorite was in a huge copse of willow trees near the big creek off of Plymouth Tra—”

And before my eyes, not two seconds later, the car rattled merrily onto none other… than Plymouth Trace.

“What was it ye were saying, Sassenach?” 

“Why, you presumptuous wee bastard! How the bloody hell did you know?”

The wee bastard in question grinned devilishly, chancing a glance away from the road. “The lads at Fernacre as about as eager to crow about their escapades as Miss O’Malley. I figured it would be fitting to take our Bonnie here on her first trip.”

“You talk bout her like she’s our child,” I giggled.

“Dinna listen to her, Bonnie,” Jamie crooned, patting her (“HER!” pah!) fondly on the dashboard. “You’re part o’ the family now.”

We pulled into the arbor, carefully, slowly and came to rest between two of the trees that stood close together. I couldn’t help gasping as I opened the door and tripped out between the fluttering curtains of yellow-green. There were perhaps twenty willows, scattered around a lazy bend in a wide, sweet creek; tall ones, with their fronds waving gracefully in the late-afternoon breezes. 

Della liked this spot, I knew, for the seclusion it provided in the dark of the evening. In the afternoon, with sunlight dappling between the leaves, though, it was—

“Breathtaking…”

“My thoughts exactly,” came a soft, low voice at my shoulder as his arm came around my waist. 

“Flatterer,” I grinned. 

“No,” he whispered, pressing me back against the side rear of car, his eyes dark with feeling.

I melted into him, reaching hungrily for his mouth as he reached for mine. I could feel the sun-warmed panels hot through my skirt as he pressed me into them, his mouth, his hands, his entire body insistent against mine. 

I could feel my body rising to his, my blood pounding furiously in every vessel, crying out to him. 

Jamie. My Jamie. 

“Does it ever stop?” I panted, “the wanting you?” 

“No,” he whispered with a soft laugh before taking my mouth again. “Never.”

A long, fevered string of moments later, Jamie’s hand left my neck (though the other continued to roam freely. A moment later I heard the springing CLONK of the rear door latch releasing. “Get inside,” he whispered hoarsely. “I’ve got to have you now.”

“In the…? I thought we were supposed to ‘be gentle to Bonnie.’”

“Oh, aye, wi’ Bonnie I’ll be gentle…. Wi’ you—” He latched his mouth into the crease of my neck and chuckled darkly as I groaned with the rush of sensation. “Now… get inside.”  

I had his trousers down around his ankles in a jiffy, leaving him exposed. “Kick off your shoes,” I whispered urgently. He tried but got tangled up, and had to bend down to extricate himself. I took the opportunity to spread our picnic blanket over the back seat and clamber in. 

Jamie joined me a minute later, bare-arsed, pulling the door shut behind him. He knelt before me on the floor, running his hands up under the skirt of my dress. He was smiling, but I could tell he was done with kidding around. 

“You’re wearing far too many clothes, mo nighean donn,” he whispered, nuzzling my thighs, “far too many.”

While my vision was obscured by my dress flying up over my head, he set to work between my legs, eliciting a moan that surely shook the vines surrounding us. “Oh….Jamie….”

I heard—no, felt—him laugh against me, not slowing his pace one bit. It seemed hardly moments before I cried, “Ja—Jamie—I’m going—to—”

And I did, my vision going lilac with energy as i melted under his touch.

He didn’t wait long. With remarkable economy of motion, he pulled me down against him and whirled us around so that I was sitting astride him on the seat. My head almost brushed the roof but that hardly mattered. I was dizzy, spinning  as I was curling my entire body around him, bending my head to him, needing more even as I throbbed.

We slid together with a sigh that seemed to emit from us both. I could feel the car rocking softly back and forth with us as I rode him, hard and desperately.

"Sassenach...." he moaned, his head pressed hard into my shoulder as he gripped my hips so hard I knew I would bruise and moved me harder, deeper, faster. One hand slid further down and used his thumb to bring me to the brink again and we were crying out together, pulsing against each other to get one more moment, one more bolt of our common magic.

When we were both spent, he let his head fall back and I slumped against him, wrapping my arms slowly around his neck, both of us one sweaty, quivering heap. The sun beamed through the rear window, bathing our still-one flesh in blissful warmth and light. I took the opportunity to study him while his eyes were closed. His hair was short and arranged, and his clothes, wherever they were, were different, but he was still the lad–the achingly sweet, caring lad–who had slept outside my door to keep away brigands in the night. So pure and loving…so…exquisite. The lines of his face; the hollows of cheek and temple; the smile that tugged at his lips even as he heaved with exhaustion. Glowing in the sunlight, he looked so beautiful, I truly wanted to cry.

I opened my mouth to tell him so, but just at that moment, he spoke. “There’s a good lass.”

I thought he was addressing me, so it came as quite a surprise then he thumped not my bare arse but the seat beside us. “If this be the time we conceive, we’ll keep ye in mind when we name the bairn.”

“You’re ridiculous,” I murmured against his mouth, barely managing it, widely as I was grinning.

“Aye,” he laughed, a little sheepishly, wrapping his arms snugly around my hips. “I’ll try to be more dignif—”

I stopped his ridiculous mouth with another kiss.

Get Inspired: How to get into athletics

Fast Answers Why get into athletics? Athletics offers the widest range of choice of any sport as its various disciplines provide the opportunity to throw, run or jump. Who is it for? Everyone. The different disciplines suit different body shapes and sizes. Is there a cheap option? As long as there is space for a race, you can practise athletics. What if I want a proper workout? If you are looking to work up a sweat, athletics is the activity for you as each discipline requires varying degrees of strength and fitness. Can I take it to another level? Join a club and start competing for them in your preferred events. Is there a disability option? The various impairment categories in athletics make the activities widely accessible. Is there a family option? Running, throwing and jumping is for everyone. Grab some props, head to the park and create your own mini athletics competition. Where can I take part? Head over to our Activity Finder for athletics events near you.

You might want to be the next Mo Farah, or just want to get fit and see how well you can do – either way, athletics can be the sport for you.

It includes a huge variety of disciplines, so whether you want to run, jump or throw you can find an activity that suits you.

Here’s our Get Inspired guide to the main categories and more…

Aspire to be like: Jo Pavey

Jo Pavey won European Championships gold and Commonwealth Games bronze in 2014, less than a year after giving birth to her second child.

At Rio 2016 Jo became the first British track athlete to compete in a fifth Olympic Games. Aged 42, she set an over-40 world best in the 10,000m.

Sprint events

Sprint disciplines include the short, sharp, powerful events such as the 100m and 200m. The sprint hurdles (100m for women, 110m for men) require the same explosion of speed, but with the added element of having to clear a number of barriers. There’s also the one-lap 400m race and the 400m hurdles.

Middle-distance events

Get Inspired: Steve Cram on track athletics

Middle distance running relies on pacing and stamina rather than pure explosive power, but don’t worry – go for a run with some friends and you’ll soon see a difference in your fitness levels.

The 800m requires sustained pace around two laps of the track. In the 1500m and 3,000m tactics are everything. Go off too hard, too soon and you will fade and be out of contention in the sprint finish. The 3,000m steeplechase has the added obstacles of hurdles and a water jump.

Long-distance events

Going long requires stamina and mental toughness. On the track, the 5,000m and 10,000m can become a real mind game of tactics, while the marathon – a 26.2-mile course outside the confines of an athletics stadium – is athletics’ ultimate test of mental and physical endurance.

Thousands of people take part in 10k races, half marathons and marathons every year, take a look on the Run Britain website for more.

Throwing events

While upper-body strength is key to shot put, javelin, discus and the hammer throw, these disciplines require more than just power. Sound technique, allied to strong legs and a stable core are crucial so you can transfer your body weight and generate the acceleration required to secure a lengthy throw.

Your local club will be able to provide you with any specialist equipment to give the events a try.

Cross-country

Cross-country running is a discipline that sees athletes race outdoors on grass or woodland courses. It usually takes place in the winter, outside of the track-and-field season. There is no set distance but races would usually fall into the long-distance category of running. Stamina and endurance are very important, but you also need to be ready to get muddy! While predominantly an individual sport, there is often a team element to races.

Jumping events

Do you want to learn the polished technique of the jumping disciplines? You’ll develop the strength needed for take-off in long jump and triple jump and flexibility needed in high jump, to arch your back, raise your hips and clear the bar.

And who hasn’t wanted to try pole vault? The extreme sport of athletics. The discipline sees strong, fast and gymnastic competitors use a pole to launch themselves upside down and over a bar which can be higher than a double-decker bus – not for the faint-hearted!

Heptathlon and decathlon

Get Inspired: Denise Lewis on athletics

Can’t decide on a single event? Perhaps decathlon (men) or heptathlon (women) is for you. The heptathlon consists of seven events, while men have to compete in 10 events.

Both competitions stretch the athlete to the limits of their endurance and skills. You’ll need incredible stamina, along with strong running and fine throwing and jumping techniques to score as many points as possible over a multi-day competition.

Fortunately you won’t have to try this 😉 ….

All you need is a park and some props and you can create your own mini games whenever you like.

You have actually made the remarkable, fantastic, and also sometimes frightening decision to homeschool. So that implies YOU 'RE THE INSTRUCTOR! But exactly what do you educate? Lots of homeschool parents are constantly out there for the best homeschool educational program. Just what is house school curriculum? It is organized "courses" or topics ready for you by an outside firm. They are usually instructor's handbooks, workbooks, tests, examinations, as well as research study material for you and also your youngster. You TIN homeschool without utilizing educational program, but due to the severe amount of job, time and effort, and prep works that it would take; most homeschool moms and dads prefer to use curriculum. houses for sale columbia mo Currently, whether you are brand-new to residence education or have actually been doing it for many years, parents are always looking for the best house institution educational program. During your journey, you will locate curriculum you like, educational program you hate, and also educational program that is just ok. The concept is to understand just what you are searching for in an educational program. In this manner you could better evaluate if it is ideal for you and your family. I will describe 5 important steps to locating the most effective homeschool curriculum.1.) Know what you like as well as what you do not (and what your children like and do not).This step is the most essential action to finding the most effective house school educational program. You should recognize what encourages you, what motivates your kids and what does not. For example, my son DESPISES dull black as well as white worksheets. He loves mathematics, but dislikes black as well as white worksheets. Once I figured this out, I might search for the best residence college educational program for him for mathematics. We discovered it! It is a math educational program that has lots of colors or even some photos. It is essentially the very same job as well as the same problems, once I knew just what motivates him and also what does not; I can discover the best educational program for him.2.) What subjects do you intend to teach?This appears simple. But wait up until you get your very first house school educational program brochure! If you are anything like I was/am, you will get lost in all the wonderful points you can purchase to help you teach your kids. There's French, Chinese, Japanese, Latin, math, scientific research, analysis, handwriting, calligraphy, printing, phonics, history, background of the bible, ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt, civil battle, pilgrims, history of the battles, dictionary abilities, public speaking, punctuation, vocabulary, and also the checklist goes on and on and also on!!!!! As well as that wouldn't wish to show their youngsters all of those points? I recognize I would! So slim it down as well as identify just what subjects you intend to show. This will help you find the most effective house school curriculum.3.) Do you want curriculum for a Christian perspective or a worldly viewpoint?Practically every topic that you can teach your kid can be educated from either a Christian or a life perspective. There are some terrific Christ focused business! It is essential to decide exactly what you are searching for before hand. If you want just Christian educational program, you could narrow your search and also skip all the business that do not present their educational program in this fashion. As well as if you desire more of a worldly sight you can do the very same. This is a very important step to locating the best residence institution educational program.4.) Search for an excellent return policy!Generally, I do not buy it unless I could return it. Bear in mind that most of the time you do not have these publications in your hand when you pick them. You are essentially reading a "sales pitch" for each and every as well as every item of educational program being supplied in that brochure. They all sound great! However I can tell you from individual experience, they are not all excellent! So search for a firm that will let you return items if they are not what you wanted. Educational program is not low-cost! It is REALLY not cheap if you purchase something you do not like, and you could not return it. There are business that will let you return products within a certain period of time. I would very recommend them over any others!All of these steps are essential for choosing the most effective homeschool curriculum. Yet above all I would recommend action 5.5.) Pray regarding it!Ask the Lord for direction and guidance. Seek his face! This is an extremely important thing you are providing for your kids. And also it is not feasible to do it well without God. So go to Him! Pray about every subject. Pray concerning exactly what curriculum you need to pick. God will certainly bless this choice. He will help you pick the very best homeschool curriculum. Trust Him as well as pray, pray, hope!
