I hava had a idea of fic some time ago, and i want to share it with you since you like both Ray and Isabella and their relationship. Wll i already spoke about it with other tumblr but you seems to really love Isabella so i want to speak about it with you too =))

It starts after the evasion. When Isabella faces Peter, she is still promoted at the Grandpa's place BUT she has to have a child to replace Ray. A Child that she has to raise to be a perfect premium child to replace the lost premium child. Peter also tells her that Ray is her son (she already know but she is a good actor).

Now for the child. Either it's a boy/girl who will be the new premium, either it's both a boy and a girl, the boy to be the next premium and the girl to be the futur perfect mama. The worst? The children will know. They will not be raised in a farm but in the headquarters.

Isaballa still manages to win over the sisters, in the same way that she has in her one-shot. The sisters also feel a little bad for her because…well their children have been took away from them at birth, they didn't raised them themself. Isabella will have to raise their children to be killed (and to continue the circle if it's the twins thing) even if they learns that she has already did it with Ray. (Bonus, a girl from the farm, that Isabella recommanded as sister helps her and is very protective of her, because you know, she understands.)

Now for the attacks on the headquarters by the kids, Peter still do the proposition to Isabella: give her her freedom and a life in the humans world. He says that she'll be able to take the child(ren) with her, of course. Of course, since premium farms will be destroyed, he can give their freedom to the mamas and to Isabella's kids, right? It's not like if they will be useful in his new farm system, right? That's the best way to assure that they will support him (well in his eyes)

Either she must leave Ray to them to be killed, either Peter says "by children I also mean Ray, of course" because he thinks that giving her freedom + all her kids will assure her support, that force her to abandon her first child could push her to betray him (hey, he's not wrong). And after all, the premium farms will be abolished, so a child more or less, it will not change much. If she helps him, he can give her this rebellious kid that Ray is.

Of course, Isabella, while loving her own children, doesn't want to abandon the ones she raised. No sisters or mamas want to abandons the kids (and their own children who are still alive) now that there are a "chance" to be free. A chance to start a rebellion.

Now for the next thing, i see two possibilities

Isabella dies. Like in the manga. Everything is the same, except she apologizes to Ray and tells him "take care of you sibling(s)" and Ray doesn't understand first (and thinks it's about the rest on the grace field kids). He only learns the truth by Sienna and Matilda (+ the former Grace Field girl who became a sister) after been arrived in the human world, and…well it's a shock. He doesn't feel replaced. No. He feels sick because of what Peter forced his mother to do AGAIN and because of she must have lived. (this asshole is lucky to be dead, he says) he is torn, because that's his blood sibling(s), but he has to find Emma. The former Grace Field sister proposes to babysit them while he search Emma, he can be with them, takes them with him, but if he has to go away, she can watch them. Ray will ferocely love them. and will sing the lubally every nights for them while they're babies and then toddlers (he's their favorite and he is very smug about it toward the other grace field children). And he will NEVER speaks badly about Isabella with them.

Isabella survives. She is just severely wounded. But it was not a lethal wound and a doctor from the Ratri clan has helped to band this wound. But still it will take some time to heal. She has to rest for a while. Ray still learns the truth in the human world. He is still shocked and outraged by what Peter has done. He still devasted because Emma is not her. But his mother is severely wounded; and his sibling(s)…He doesn't want to leavr them. Not now that everything is.... He's finally convinced to search Emma but he will visit very often, for sure. And if he lives with them, it's for the child(ren), of course. (nobody believe him)

Yaayy big fanfic idea let’s gooo!!

Okay, first off, the idea of Isabella having another kid never sat well with me and I promise this is no jab against you. It's just that back when s2ep11 aired lots of people believe she was shown to have another kid during the ending slideshow and it is the one thing I will deny with every fiber of my being. There’s no way that woman was her and I will literally not change my mind about it.

HOWEVER, while I think Isabella wouldn’t have another kid by her own free will due to her past and own personal feelings towards Leslie, Ray & the other kids she raised, I will concede and say that if she truly did have another, it would be because she was forced to do so, if only to show she’s still of use to the farm and to keep herself alive since we all know how greatly she values her own survival.

It would be so interesting to see how she would react if Peter told her about Ray being her actual son. Yeah she already knows, but I wanna see the act she puts on in front of him to feign ignorance. Would she pretend to get real emotional and break down in tears? Or be completely baffled and speechless? I’d love to watch that performance of hers. No doubt Peter would fall for it hook, line and sinker.

Ohhh imagine if she did have a girl. That kid would be so pretty. But ahh, if Isabella knew she had a girl she’d be so scared for it knowing fully well what kind of future awaits the child once it reaches twelve. I dunno how well the kid will do being raised in headquarters though? The whole point of the orphanage lifestyle the system puts all the children through is so that they can grow up healthy with rich emotions. The child certainly won’t get the exercise or love it needs being stuck inside headquarters, especially if it knows the truth of the world they were born into.

Of course Isabella would still win the other sisters over. No one defeats the queen. I can see how Matilda & the others could sympathize with Isabella. I mean, they were surprised already once Isabella handed them the goodbye note from Ray but once the sisters learned their own kids were still alive, they did experience a range of emotions. But oh my god, I didn’t even think of the possibility of having twins! I wonder if that’s ever happened? It must have over the many years the farm system was in place, we probably just dunno any set of twins personally. (Oh but wait, they all get pregnant via artificial insemination, so I dunno if that affects the chances of it or not? My medical knowledge is nonexistent.)

Regardless, Isabella would 100% be protective of any of her actual kids. This is clear as day as she already sacrificed herself for Emma and they’re not even blood related. Ah, damn.. I just thought of the same ch177 scenario only the demon targeted Ray instead and Isabella jumped in to his life. Oh boy, that would definitely make me sob uncontrollably.

Peter would say anything even remotely assuring in order to get Isabella on his side. He can flaunt a twisted idea of freedom all he wants but she’s gonna see through his schemes no matter what. Naturally, she would only accept the offer in order to use her new position of power against him.

I’ll admit I was confused about the whole “new farm system,” but that’s because it was Peter’s idea and I don’t think about him much at all. But yeeaah that’s right, he did plan to discontinue the usual system and replace it with the style that Lambda uses.. that's terrifying. He would definitely want Iabella’s kids (real & those raised) for such a facility since she has a knack for preparing high grade merch. Of course Isabella would fight back against that plan because no one would want their kid to undergo such experiments. Well, she did send Norman there but that was way back when she didn’t nearly have as much power as she does now as Grandma. Also wasn't exactly her choice.

Oof, the idea of her having to sacrifice Ray in order to save so many others.. aahh I dunno what she would do! No mother should ever have to choose between their own kids. Oh, Isabella would probably offer herself up instead. Surely she’s worth more to the farm compared to Ray or a bunch of other kids. Either that or to start a rebellion that Isabella can no doubt pull off with great success.

Ah, Isabella’s death.. my least favorite thing to happen in the manga. But okay, I LOVE that idea of how Ray would react to learning about a potential sibling. Not feeling replaced but so angry at the farm for putting his mother through so much more pain and suffering.. oh that’s an idea I can get behind. Ray has always hated the farm, but he labeled Isabella as the enemy while at Grace Field because she was the closest option and the literal reason behind his own pain. Post-escape is when his feelings (& everyone else’s) of Isabella changed, as they learned more about the world and how it works, which is why they were all able to forgive her, since she was a victim to the system just as they were.

Having to choose between searching for Emma or looking after his sibling, my poor Ray wants to help everyone so much aww. Again, such a hard choice. To go after the girl you literally owe your entire life to or look after your young, sibling he's actually related to? Ohh but of course he would sing them the lullaby! No questions asked! Ahh I wish we had the chance to hear him sing it once more during the story. I know many RE fics have him sing it while Emma is in her coma after GP and I adore that idea with all my heart. The other moment I personally wish it happened was during ch177 as Isabella was on her death bed. I forget if I had mentioned this during that ch review or somewhere else, but having him sing it to her during her last moments would’ve been so powerful. We know Isabella hummed it to herself to keep herself strong, so having her hear Ray do the same while he’s in tears and finally accepting her as his mother.. ow, my poor heart would’ve been in shambles.

Pfftt, smug Ray is one of my favorite things. He would totally rub it in everyone’s faces that his siblings like him best! We know Norman is Sherry’s favorite as Emma is to Phil, but Ray doesn’t really have that one kid who always goes to him, ya know? Sure Chris and Jemima have their moments with him later on, but there isn’t one kid who clearly labels Ray as their favorite. And that is a shame because hello? He is best boy, what’s wrong with everyone else?? Hahaa.. it’s okay, Ray’s still my favorite.

Ah, Isabella alive and well.. the best thing to come out of the second season. That’s really all I wanted in life, for her and Ray to make up and bond like a normal mother and son would. I know many people think he still holds a grudge against her and he would only tolerate her at best, but it would be a work in progress! I’m not saying they would be all lovey dovey at first, I’m sure it’s gonna take some time for them to get over their own pain, but eventually they would be on great terms. (I just wanna see them chill out and sing the lullaby together, that’s all!)

No doubt that even while recovering, Isabella would help Ray & the others in any way possibly to search for Emma. Hell, they might even find her sooner with Isabella’s insight. That may be just me giving her too much credit, but surely the chess master could formulate some decent ideas on where the kids could look. Isabella would definitely not give up on Emma and this would be a big step on her road to redemption (even though I always say her redemption began as soon as she admitted defeat when the kids first escaped).

Once again, thank you very much for sharing all your thoughts and listening to mine!

Six years after their escape to the human world, the Grace Field children live together in a happy, harmonious home. Twenty-one-year-olds, Ray, Norman and Emma, have folded themselves into modern society and work tirelessly to provide for their younger siblings, putting the greater good of their family before their personal needs. But as children turn to into teenagers, new house rules come into play. Norman, convinced that Emma will never remember their unique childhood bond, makes a bold proposition — to prohibit romantic relationships between the Grace Field children and end his hopes for something more with Emma once and for all.

Ray knows all too well how dangerous it is to reignite a spark, but for the happiness of Emma and Norman, he's always been willing to burn.

A/N: Oh, hi! So it's been a while, but I have neither dropped off the face of the Earth nor given up on this fic. Sometimes, I just have to wait until I'm in the right state of mind to write a chapter. Until next time....

Chapter 3

The cuckoo clock on the wall of Norman’s study is an ornate piece of artistry. It does its job fashionably and without complaint, keeping time with as much precision as its pendulum can muster. Norman likes to lose himself to the details of the carved wood. The dancing animals and crisp steeples that surround the clock face never fail to interest him when his thoughts turn sluggish at the end of the day.

Norman would happily wile away his evening hours waiting for the clock’s melodic chime to sound at the top of the hour, but this is not the gift’s purpose. Instead, it is meant as a constant reminder that time itself is a precious commodity. Mike Ratri gave him the clock upon his admission to law school. And though Norman’s enthusiasm for the present has dissipated, he cannot disagree with the principle behind the clock’s coded message.

Time can be a beautiful, but unforgiving mistress; yesterday’s opportunities are lost in the past, gone forever.

Perhaps, Norman muses, for his next graduation, he will receive a high-end watch from the Ratri clan. Then he, along with his time, will be literally and figuratively shackled to the course the family’s scion has mapped out for him. Norman knows he is regarded as the best of the bunch, the poster child amongst the extraordinary children born and raised in the demon world. Ever rational, he cannot disagree with that conclusion.

Still, he rakes a finger under the collar cinched around his neck to loosen his tie and fusses with the first few buttons of his pressed shirt. The emblem of Lambda 7214 peeks out from underneath the scoop neck of his undershirt, and not for the first time, Norman traces the tattoo’s hard lines where they are exposed. Compared to this marking, the numbers on his neck are practically forgettable.

Norman isn’t like the other Grace Field children, not since Peter Ratri’s malicious experiments. Neither can he lump himself in with the other Lambda survivors. Though Barbara never shies away from advocating for the latter.

“Are you even listening?” Barbara’s voice is shrill as it comes from the cellphone wedged between Norman’s shoulder and ear.

In the background, he can hear boxing gloves rhythmically pound against a punching bag. Norman doesn’t like lying to Barbara; he knows what the woman is capable of when she’s feeling feisty. But after hearing the juicy gossip from the younger children in his house, concerning a date between two certain someones, Norman’s mind refuses to focus on administrative matters. Still, he tries to soldier on as if nothing is amiss.

“Of course,” Norman fibs. “You’re concerned about the benefit, just like you are every year. And every year, it turns out fine. We get our funding; the Ratri family keeps their moral high ground.”

The sound of hard punch startles Norman, and Barbara pauses, slightly winded, before responding. “But the problem is that they want Zazie to attend this year. Zazie!”

The thought causes Norman to pause. He is wont to recall Zazie as he once was — a child stuck in an overgrown body with a paper bag hiding his face and twin swords strapped to his back. But Zazie, like his brothers and sisters, has grown into his shaggy hair, and in his case, his mental strides are much more impressive.

“What does Zazie think about attending the benefit?”

Barbara scoffs. “He’s fine with going for a little while as long as he isn’t on his own, but why should he waste his precious words on that family ? They don’t fund his therapy out of charity; they pay for it because his hardships, all our hardships, are their fault.”

Normally, Norman would play devil’s advocate. He would remind Barbara that Mike isn’t like Peter and point out that most of the advances made on behalf of the cattle, Lambda and farm children are funded by the donations of the benefit’s attendees. But tonight, Norman has no such fight in him. He has four cases to read and brief, an argument to draft for his legal writing class and a Ray-and-Emma-shaped problem that seems to become more bizarre by the minute.

“I’ll talk to Mike and see if we can defer Zazie’s involvement,” Norman capitulates, rubbing at his neck as his to-do list grows longer. “He may look like an adult, but he’s still a teenager. It can be easy to forget.”

There’s a pregnant pause on the other side of Norman’s cell phone connection.

“Are you feeling alright, boss?”

A part of Norman wants to laugh, a great big belly laugh that would draw the kind of attention the household head does his best to avoid. Of course, he isn’t alright. It was a relief when he first made the decision to impose a fraternization ban, but then, Ray went and asked Emma out just to spite him.

Clever, impulsive asshole.

How could Norman go through with it after that? Either he would have seemed like a heartless roadblock or a jealous cockblock to his siblings. And neither alternative comes close to the truth, an inconvenient conundrum that’s been eating away at him for years.

Norman exhales, long and slow, and because he can ordinarily be (somewhat) honest with Barbara, he doesn’t lie to her this time. He won’t divulge the whole, messy truth. For that, he wouldn’t even know how to begin. Heavy the head that wears the crown, or in this case, Norman thinks it’s more along the lines of a cape.

“No,” he responds, “I’m not alright. But I’m sure I’ll be fine after exams. I just need some time to rest and get my head on straight. No need to be concerned.”

There’s a flurry of movement coming from Barbara’s side of the connection, and when she speaks again, her voice sounds unflinchingly clear. Norman braces himself when he realizes she’s paused her evening workout and taken herself off speakerphone.

“Far be it for me to suggest that you shouldn’t be living with the Grace Field kids, but you’re also one of us — a Lambda experiment. We have different needs, and Lambda House could provide you with much more support or at least a break from being in charge. Come live with us and let someone else run things over there. We all miss you, boss. Maybe someone could help you for a change.”

A lump sticks in Norman’s throat, and he swallows it, ready to make excuses that never arrive. Words fail him for the umpteenth time in a handful of days. Suddenly hot, he scratches the back of his neck and shrugs off his collared shirt entirely. The top of his Lambda 7214 tattoo remains on full display. Sometimes, he hides it so well that he begins to believe his own lies, but there are moments when the truth corrodes his carefully constructed facade.

Norman may be the brightest child from the demon world, but he’s also damaged goods, marked in ways that Ray (for example) is not.

He could live at Lambda House. Correction, he should live at Lambda House to better avail himself of the on-call therapists for his night terrors and have his medication managed with more regularity. But then, there would be no reason for Norman to oversee the Grace Field children’s home. He wouldn’t be able to drag himself down to breakfast each morning to find her, Emma, sipping her coffee and joking around with the younger children, or feel his heart flutter when wishes him well in the evenings.

Norman stays because she’s worth all the small inconveniences and then some. The time in between, the numbing hours spent studying, problem-solving and balancing the books, are a means to an end. Emma always tips the scale in Grace Field’s favor. Even with an anti-fraternization rule, Norman doesn’t expect his feelings to change.

Nevertheless….

“I’ll think about it,” Norman hears himself say, and he ends the call promptly with promises to be in touch soon simply to put the matter to rest.

Read the rest on AO3!
