Chapter 16

Second Chances

Cora and Zane waste no time in getting married. The wedding is planned in a matter of weeks.

It seems to Don that it isn’t that long ago he stood in this church with Alex. It’s hard to believe that both his little girls are married now.

“Don’t you dare grow up too quickly”, he whispers and hugs Daniel tight.

Brie is also emotional. Both of her parents are now gone, with Johnny dying only a few months ago. At least Alex got to see Cora return, even if she won’t see her married.

In the back of the church, on Zane’s side of the isle, Layla and Aidan are showing their support. Layla is expecting their second child and is happily chatting to their old university friend Conor, who was on Cora’s football team. Conor is seated next to Zane’s sister Isabelle.

Zane’s father, Wolfgang, is struggling with some mixed emotions. He wants his son to be happy, but marrying into Don’s family wouldn’t have been his first choice for Zane.

As the ceremony finishes, Daniel squirms out of his seat and runs to his parents.

Zane and Cora scoop him into a hug.

Even grumpy Wolfgang can’t help but smile at the happiness radiating from the trio.

Outside the church, Morgan finds Don.

“Don, have you ever met my daughter, Isabelle?”

“Isabelle. You are certainly the spitting image of your mother. Just as beautiful”, Don replies, and gallantly kisses her hand.

“Mom, you didn’t tell me Don was such a gentleman.”

“There are many things I have’t told you, dear.”

“Mom, Isa, I see you have managed to corner my new father-in-law but I need you all to join us for a few speeches.”

During the speeches and toasts, Isabelle gets tipsy and starts trying to grill Don about his personal life. Morgan barely manages to steer the conversation away from her and Don’s past.

As Wolfgang passes the table where Don is talking to his wife and daughter, he shoots Don an angry glare.

Zane also joins the table. Wolfgang is so focused on Don that he even ignores Payton’s attempts at congratulating him on his son’s wedding. After a while, Don retreats to a quiet corner to get away from the awkward situation.

It doesn’t take long before Isabelle finds him.

“Heeeey Don… mom didn’t tell me how handsome you were, you know…”

“Isabelle, please. I think you’ve had enough champagne.”

“No no, I’m fine. C’mon, gimme a kiss…”

“DON!”

A furious Wolfgang storms up to them as Isabelle quickly climbs off Don’s lap.

“I knew it! Keep your hands off her, you sleazy bastard!”

“Wolfgang, I haven’t done anything to Isabelle, and I’m not going to…”

“Do you think I’m blind? I know your tricks! I know what kind of man you are!”

“And what kind of man am I, Wolfgang?”

“Dad – no!”

The punch barely fazes Don. Wolfgang himself actually seems surprised at what he just did.

“Don… I didn’t mean… I just…”

Luckily for Wolfgang, Don, former world champion bodybuilder, simply walks away.

Zane pulls his father aside.

“Dad… how could you? I asked you not to make a scene.”

“Son, you don’t understand. That man has no morals. I know him. Something happened years ago… your mother…”

“Dad, if I recall correctly, you had walked out on us. According to mom, Don was the one encouraging her to give you another chance when you came back.”

“She was still my wife! I… he… he had no right…”

“Dad, you need to get it together. I know you don’t like Don, but he’s my father-in-law and you can’t just go around punching people in the face.”

“Take mom and Isa home. And find a way to deal with your issues that doesn’t involve hitting anyone.”

After being dropped off, Cora is standing in front of the apartment door in San Myshuno, afraid to knock. Zane’s words from the car ride are still ringing in her head. But she has to do this.

She knocks.

Aidan immediately opens, almost like he has been waiting by the door. For a few seconds he just stares at Cora like he’s seeing a ghost.

“Aidan… hi. It’s me. I…”

Cora’s voice falters. Aidan stares like he is in a trance. Then he pulls himself together.

“Cora… Zane warned… told me you were back.”

“Please, come in, let’s talk.”

The first thing Cora notices is the picture wall. Zane warned her in the car, but still. It’s different to see it with her own eyes.

“You’ve… been busy…”

Cora can barely get the words out.

“Busy?!” There’s a rough edge to Aidan’s voice. “Busy? Are you being serious right now? You disappeared, you… I was investigated for murder. Can you even imagine?”

“Aidan, I…”

“There were headlines, Cora. ‘Unhinged sci-fi author claims girlfriend was taken by aliens‘. Can you imagine what I went through?”

“Not only was I heartbroken that you were gone, terrified that you might be dead or never come back, but on top of it all, people treated me like I was insane or a murderer. Thankfully, your parents believed me. And Zane, and, yes, Layla.”

“I see. How lucky that Layla could be there for you the second I was gone. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, you’ve always been…close.”

“Cora, you just showed up pregnant on my doorstep, how can you act like I’m the only one at fault here? Yes, Layla helped me through it, but your absence also made me realise how badly matched you and I were in the first place. I loved you, but you were so… difficult. With Layla, everything seems simple. She makes me happy and I don’t have to fight for her attention.”

“It’s been two years, Cora. We… I insisted we waited a full year, as if the aliens were going to bring you back on some sort of messed up anniversary. I even asked your parents for forgiveness for moving on. What would you have me do?”

“I don’t know… But I guess you’re right, maybe I was a pretty terrible girlfriend. I guess we got together by accident and then just… went along with it.”

“I’m glad you’re back safe, Cora. I’m sorry. Maybe – maybe we can be friends again one day, but right now… I need to focus on my wife and son.”

“I get it. I’m sorry too. Bye, Aidan. Say… say hi to Layla for me…”

As Cora leaves the apartment, Zane is waiting for her.

He smiles sadly.

“I figured you’d need a ride after this. And maybe a hug.”

Cora says nothing, just sobs quietly into Zane’s shoulder.

“Come on, I’ll drive you home.”

I love the cast of lotr and the hobbit with all my heart

[incorrect-marvel-because-why-not]

Okay, so we all know that Bucky is a fan of the Hobbit book, but do the movies exist in the MCU?

Because if they do, then Bucky would actually meet, like, half the cast. It's really funny to me that they made him a fan when Marvel already has so many Hobbit actors. And many of them Bucky either meets, or is likely to meet off-screen.

Here is a list of the actors who were in both franchises (labeled as 'met' or 'likely to have met' in reference to Bucky):

Martin Freeman (likely to have met through the Wakandans)

Benedict Cumberbatch (met)

Richard Armitage (did not meet, but directly interacted with Steve)

Hugo Weaving (met)

Aidan Turner

Lee Pace

Cate Blanchett

Andy Serkis (has at least heard of)

Evangeline Lilly (likely to have met)

I may be the only one who finds this interesting, but I wanted to say it.

Mientras trato de terminar el segundo capítulo de mi au de pokemon con wild kratt, aquí les traigo un dibujo de Aidan y Katie de ese universo y un poco de historia

While I try to finish the second chapter of my pokemon au with wild kratt, here I bring you a drawing of Aidan and Katie from that universe and a little history

Aidan y Katie tienen unos 13 años en esta historia, aún no pueden iniciar su viaje como tal, ya que en esa región la edad legal para iniciar tu aventura empieza a los 14, pero no les impide tener pokemon.

Aidan cuido de un Shroomish herido que encontró y al cual apodo Espora. Al final se convirtieron en amigos y Chris le presto una pokeball a Aidan para que capturara a su nuevo amigo.

Por otro lado Katie se encariño mucho con el hijo de la Aggron de Zach (por eso el la llama aveces mamá Aggron) y viceversa. Al final Zach no tuvo de otra que entregarle la pokeball del Aron a Katie (además tanto Martin como Chris, le estaban insistiendo para que le de el pokemon, hasta que se canso :v ) y esta lo apodo Pico.

Aidan and Katie are about 13 years old in this story, they cannot yet start their journey as such, since in that region the legal age to start your adventure begins at 14, but it does not prevent them from having pokemon.

Aidan cared for an injured Shroomish he found and nicknamed Spore. In the end they became friends and Chris lent Aidan a pokeball to capture his new friend.

On the other hand, Katie became very attached to Zach's Aggron's son (that's why he sometimes calls her Mom Aggron) and vice versa. In the end Zach had no choice but to give Aron's pokeball to Katie (also both Martin and Chris were insisting that he give her the pokemon, until he got tired :v) and she nicknamed him Pico.
