3) Dante Sparda from Devil May Cry
Man. He's such an important chara to me? DMC was one of the first things I got into by myself (usually it was with some influence of a friend). So I got to experience a new story by myself and i had something just for myself. One of the first charas i got really attached to and would die for tbh.
4) Rohan Kishibe from JJBA:DIU
Out of ALL jojo charas, Rohan got me into the series which is... so ironic. Hes the twinkiest twink of the show compared to all the Muscle Men. I just saw a chara that liked to draw and was wow me too maybe we can vibe.
5) Xigbar from Kingdom Hearts
2012 was a whackass time to be on the internet, let alone be into KH bc the fanbase sure was. something. Xigbar was always really interesting to me and JFC. KH3 threw me for a loop, just when I thought we'd tie up some loose ends. but ofc SE said fuck off. And for that.... it makes 'Xigbar' Sexy and Mysterious and i love that for us.
6) Ignis Scientia from FFXV
This man just hits different. He makes me so incredibly depressed and i love it. His entire chara is so... divine, bitch. When I was really into FFXV, I promise you, i wouldve written you essays ab him. I actually wrote an essay on Gladio and turned it into my psych teacher and I wonder what that says ab me.
7) Medic from TF2
I dont think i need to explain why but <3 i never started self caring until i got into tf2 so thats all ill say on that.
8) Aizawa Shouta from BNHA
Listen, I know bnha can be cringe but shut the hell up. Aizawa is one of the only charas i chara ab in the series simply bc of all the Dad Energy. No I will not elaborate.
9) Tifa Lockhart from FVII
God i love women im sorry i dont talk ab them more i have internalized home of foe bee uh. She can kick my ass but she cares so much and the fact that shes Gay (not canonly but.) is nice like? i love her and Aeris whenever they interact
10) Kenpachi Zaraki from Bleach
I just love Big, Bastard characters with a child. It just hits different. Idk i love that hes just looking for a fight all the time but has respect for whoever hes facing. He's kind of his own man and does what he wants and i too want to kick ass and take names (literally)

Babysitting in the Devildom
Chapter Six: Beel- Dinner Indifference
"Beel n-"
Solomon had to cast a teleportation spell before he could even finish his sentence. Beel's wings fluttered furiously as he burst through a portal and into Solomons arms instead. He immediatly clamped down on Solomons shoulder and started to chew. Solomon sighed as he watched his cloak get drooled on, big violet eyes watching him back as more of the cloth disappeared into his mouth.
Solomon paused. Should he take Beel to you? You seemed to know what you were doing but you also already had Asmo and portioning out food for the rest of the kids...Beel would be in the presence of food either way. He glanced back down and the chipmunk-cheeked Beel and considered trying to take the cloak out of his mouth. Buuuuut if Beel cried again it was his fault, again...but he really shouldnt be eating fabric...not that it would ruin his appetite but-
He was running out of time to make a decision as the delivery person made their way back to the door. Beel seemed content eating his cloak for now. Beel would be fine, right? Yeah- its Beel. Solomon tightened his grip just slightly on the baby as he approached the front door again, ready to take the bags.
He should have taken Beel to you.
It was like fighting Taz from Looney Toons as Solomon stumbled about, half eaten cloak and a blur of movement around him as he used small portals to keep the bag of food away from Beel.
Barbatos had walked into the kitchen with Luke, wondering if he could help somehow. You had taken Luke from him and used one hand while also sometimes directing him on how to help you while Asmo followed behind him to make sure each plate "looked pretty". Everything was going really well....until the other bag of food appeared suddenly in your free hand and you heard a demonic screech come from the hallway and a loud buzzing noise which was curiously silenced soon after, though Asmo had given you wide berth after hearing that. You sighed and asked Barb to continue portioning things and to go tell the rest of the kids that if they had to go to the bathroom, the time was now. You held Luke close to you as you ventured just outside the kitchen doors and nearly bumped into Solomon.
".....I can expl-"
"Why is Beel eating your clothes?"
You didnt really want to laugh for fear of waking Luke up, but a wide silly smile bloomed on your face as you watched Beel use both his tiny fists to stuff more of Solomons cloak into his mouth, wide eyes staring at you as he cooed a bit and continued to stuff his face, Solomons cloak almost gone.
Solomon had a combination of exasperation and amusement on his face. "Uh...well I didnt want him to cry or attack the food- o-or you so I.....I fed him my cloak."
"....wHY? Earlier you were summoning food for him- you could have done that again right- or multiplied the food we already have even if he ate the bags worth of food-"
You were still smiling, the whole situation a little ridiculous as Beel finished Solomons cloak and started to sniffle, pouting and making grabby hands to the air for more.
Solomon paused before a goofy smile spread across his face as he summoned a popsicle to give to Beel. "I. Dont. Know." He laughed a bit before smiling fondly at you. "This is why you're the one in charge." He started to walk past you into the kitchen, but not before a quick kiss was planted on your temple and a small smirk at your expression was given to you. You gave yourself a moment before joining him and Barb, and a slightly startled looking Asmo.
".....can I have a posicle before dinner too?"
Asmo looked up at Solomon, pleading who just shrugged. "Thats not up to me." He looked at you and smirked a bit. *Motherfucker*
Asmo gasped and skipped his way to you, big, pleading amber eyes as he batted his eyelashes. "May I have a posicle before dinner too please? Pretty please with a cherry on top?"
It was too much. From the way he asked politely, to the way he said popsicle, to his little pose and big ole eyes-
You looked around the table of happy faces as all the kids destroyed popsicles that Solomon had summoned for them, all save for Beel, Barb, Diavolo, and Lucifer untouched food in front of them.
"POPSICLES FOR DINNNNNERRRRR!"
"They said we still have to eat our food if we want to have dessert tomorrow."
"But I'm not hungry anymore..."
"....I guess I can try to eat some food but Im full from the popsicle..."
"LOOKIT IM PUTTING MY FRIES IN MY ICE CREAM! But I aint havin the green stuff, thats yucky."
"You're yucky Mammon."
"HEY-"
"My father would NEVER let me do this!! Thank you MC!!!!"
A chorus of thank yous came from all of the kids, luckily before another fight. You sighed softly and forced a small smile as you said "youre welcome". You figured they wouldnt eat their food if they had popsicles. The bigger kids had eaten their food, and Beel had no problem eating his portion and Belphies who....oh. Belphie was sleeping in his mashed potatoes. You glanced around the table again, noting all the sticky faces and hands and...bodies in Satan and Luke's case. Solomon looked exhausted as he summoned another piece of food for Beel. Asmo was trying so hard to eat some more of his food but only ate a few more bites and looked a little upset. Mammon had eaten his fries, at least.
".....if youre full, give your food to Beel. Dont make yourself eat anymore, its ok. I just need to talk to Sol for a minute, ok?" You smiled as you walked to take Belphie out of his highchair and gestured to Solomon to put Beel in. He was a little confused but did so as you wiped some of the potatoes off Belphies face.
Levi spoke up very quietly. "Can we still have dessert tomorrow if we didnt finish our food for dinner?" The sound of plates being pushed towards Beel paused as the kids all looked at you, waiting for an answer.
".....it depends on how well you eat your breakfast tomorrow.." you smiled as the kids thanked you again as you asked Barb and Lucifer to make sure Beel didnt eat the actual plates as you took Solomon and Belphie into the kitchen.
"How are you feeling...you look exhausted.." geniune concern on your face once you had Solomon basically alone. His face twisted slightly and he sighed. "I had hoped the rejuevenating spell I casted would re-energize me more than it did...why? Are you worried?~" he smirked slightly, though it fell just short of smug. You rolled your eyes a bit and ruffled is hair, your turn to smirk as his face turned light pink and started to protest, pouting when you stopped, though you werent sure if it was because you stopped or because you ruffled his hair in the first place. You stopped his protesting by asking your next question, also avoiding answering his question. "Do you have enough energy to clean all of them or am I going to bathe them in an actual bath..."
"....I? It should be we..."
"Well if you're tired you should rest...I'll need your help tomorrow too..."
"I can sleep after the baths..."
"But if we're doing the baths then I need you to cast one last spell to keep the water in the tubs..."
"So I'll sleep after that spell...maybe..."
You gave him a withering look before sighing, though appreciative of his stubborness....for once. You smiled a bit.
"Alright then. Bath time. Especially for the babies. The bigger ones can probably just shower.... Belphie, Luke and Satan need baths the most. Beel made sure his food ended up *in* his mouth....the others..." you chuckled as you peeked back into the dining room, seeing only Barbatos' face clean, and Lucifer and Asmo both fussing over the little mess they had on themselves, Lucifer using Asmos mirror, and Asmo following Lucifers every action to get clean. You brought your attention back to the sleeping Belphie in your arms.
"....do you think he'll stay asleep for bath time?"
"Its Belphie. He could sleep through anything."
"Dont jinx it." You sighed softly and looked out at the kids again, some playing tag, others just watching. Satan continued to mash his food onto the platter in front of him, Luke giggling and copying in glee. Solomon tapped your shoulder to get your attention again.
"Are you ok? The bags under ypur eyes could hold all my potions-"
"Shut up- maybe if a certain sorceror had been more careful I wouldnt be as tired....not to mention the popsicle before dinner was a bad mov-" you were interrupted by Barb lightly tapping your arm.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I was just wondering if you want me to wash the dishes or just leave them in water in the sink....or if you have a dishwasher..." you were a little surprised when you turned and saw him carrying all the dishes from the table, and Lucifer behind him with garbage. Simeon was wiping down the table with a cloth, but gave the younger ones in high chairs some room. Diavolo was trying to talk to Lucifer, who just kinda kept nodding and saying "oh thats cool" before looking at you almost desperately. His look brought you back to your senses as you nodded at Barb.
"Just in the sink with water is fine, thank you Barbatos. Thank you for cleaning up Lucifer, Simeon. It makes a huge difference to me."
Barb and Simeon beamed, and Lucifer managed a small smile before shooting Diavolo a dirty look, but the other boy didnt notice, too busy rambling on about how this was so much better than home for the upteenth time. Ypu ruffled Lucifers hair as he walked by, and noted Diavolo's slight stumble in words as he eyed you a bit, but rushed past to go talk to Barb, glancing back at you, almost pleading, though your attention was divided again as you felt Levi hug you and snuggle into your side wordlessly. You patted his head softly and turned back to Solomon.
"I'll answer that question later. For now lets clean up. Then bath time."
Levi squeezed you a bit and beamed. "I love bath time!! I can do it myself! I promise, I can! I can!"
Though Levi couldnt see it, Mammon was mocking him from behind. You gave him a bit of a "look" before the hem of your shirt was being tugged at and you were met with those same amber eyes that had persuaded you into giving everyone treats for dinner. "I love bath time too! Me too! But you have to watch me. I make great bubble hair dos! A-and guess what? In the water, it might look like I have legs, but really Im a mermaid!"
"And Im a sea dragon!!" Levi cried out, still wanting your attention. "And Asmo, you're not really a mermaid-"
"Am too!"
"Are no-"
"Everyone can be who or whatever they want to be, in the water or otherwise. Fooooor example, I'm actually a sheep, see I go baaaaa" you smiled softly, and winked at Levi before turning to Asmo again who was practically dancing at your side, bursting to ask you a question. "Whats the prettiest animal you like mc?!!!"
"....whats your favourite sea animal mc?"
"Whats the coolest animal mc! No wait- whats your favourite animal?!"
"Yeah, whats your favourite animal?!"
"Oi, I asked em first!"
"Guys its ok, you can all be my or your favourite animal. Theres more than one of each." You chuckled, listing off animals as more questions were asked, meowing at Satan as you handed Belphie to Sol and took him out of his chair, who happily meowed back as you lead your noisy little zoo to the communal bathroom.

MASQUERADEÂ REVEAL | ST. ANDERSON
Tagging: Jackie & @hollywoodcooperâ
When: Saturday, February 29th
Where:Â St.James School of Performing Arts/Cooper Andersons HomeÂ
Warnings:Â small hints of nsfw
Notes: Cooper is bolded, Jackie is italic
Being able to dress up had to be one of Jackie's favorite things next to dancing. So this night was the perfect combination. And although having Cooper there would make everything perfect she was just as excited to get to facetime him today. He would still get to experience it with her. She wanted to make sure he could get a glimpse of the outfit before she would make any posts. Finding a quiet place to sneak away to from the party before pulling out her phone and calling Cooper.
Even though heâd not been able to fly back to attend the ball, Cooper has sent Jackie a dozen red roses and a red mask, banking into the fact that sheâd go with her favourite colour. Â Heâd found a mask for himself that complimented without matching exactly and had donned a black suit and the red tie and tie clip sheâd given him for Valentineâs Day. Â When his phone rang with an incoming FaceTime call he knew it was Jackie and picked up eager. Â âHey Beautiful!â He smiled into the phone.
The moment she saw Cooper and heard his voice her smile instantly grew. "Hello, Handsome!" Taking a moment to take in his outfit. "My gosh even over the phone you can still look amazing in a suit." She complimented, the fact that he still dressed up for her made her heart skip a beat. It made experiencing this together even more special. Even if he wasn't right next to her she still felt that same warmth and security that she always felt around him.
The moment Cooper saw Jackie come onto the screen he smiled. She was wearing the mask he sent and a red dress of course. Immediately his eyes zoned in on her bare neck, shoulders, and arms; a sigh escaping him. Â "You're wearing red. Â And you look beautiful, not that I doubted it." Â Cooper walked over to a full length mirror and turned the camera around so Jackie could see the full effect. Â "Okay your turn. Â Get someone to take the phone if you have to I want to see the full effect. Â Even if it means no doubt a racing pulse."
Jackie felt her confidence soar once she saw his eyes start to wander over her dress. A small smirk turned at the corners of her lips, but still couldn't hide the blush that grew on her cheeks. "Thank you, darling. I had a feeling you would like the color choice...and especially the bare neck." The last part she teased, giving him a wink. Gladly taking her turn to let her eyes wander over him when he stepped in front of a mirror. "The tie and clip." She said softly, before nodding. "Yes, yes of course!" Jackie made sure to pick a spot where she set down her phone and step back. Taking a few steps before she did a little turn to show off the whole dress.
"I should have sent something for your neck," Cooper grinned. Â "Or be there to mark it all up." Â His fingers went to the tie and the clip as she mentioned them. Â "Of course. Â I couldn't think of a a more perfect time to wear them both." Â He waited while she set her phone down and stepped back, into the frame and did a little turn, the skirt of her dress billowing out around her. Â Cooper whistled. Â "Wow. Â So you're undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the room tonight. Â I'd probably have to fight people to dance with you."
The red shade on her cheeks got darker when he talked about marking up her neck. It totally made her mind wander. "They look amazing on you." She said softly before focusing on showing off the dress. After her spin she took a few steps towards her phone leaning forward slightly, knowing very well that the action would show off her chest. "I don't know I think I might have been distracted by having the most handsome date. If we weren't dancing I'd be hoping he'd would be leaving a mark or two." She moved some hair from her face, letting her fingers run along her neck. Jackie couldn't help but tease, it was too fun. "We would wow them on the dance floor though, I just know it."March 1, 2020
"Thank you beautiful," Cooper smiled. Â He groaned as Jackie leaned over, showing off her chest. Â "Please, please be careful doing that tonight. Â While your boyfriend very much appreciates that view, he'd prefer to be the only one appreciating it. Â And I'm sure if he was there, and you were not dancing with him he'd still be holding your hand, or in his arms, and enjoying kisses." Â He laughed. Â "You would wow them. I'd just be trying my hardest to keep up with you."
"What an amazing sound to hear." A hint of teasing still in her voice, her eyes locked on him. Jackie sat up after a moment, her proud smile still on her face. "Of course, my darling. That sight is reserved just for you. Part of why I made sure I could be alone for this little reveal." She teased before picking up her phone again. "All of that just sounds amazing. Almost like our early Valentines Day, if were werent dancing just being in each other arms." Just thinking about it made a bright smile grow on her face. "You did an amazing job though during our private lessons, you were catching on rather quickly. If I remember correctly"
âYou drive me wild; you know that right?â Cooper laughed. Â Being with Jackie, especially now in this honeymoon phase, the NRE it tested all of Cooperâs will power. Â âThank you for that,â he said softly. Â âYouâre beautiful. And I canât help myself around you. Â I want to be as close as we can. Â I donât want you to ever doubt me being there for you.â He pointed a finger at the phone. Â âBecause youâre an amazing teacher and I was trying to keep up and make you proud.â
âI hope I do, darling.â She couldnt help but let a laugh escape her too. Her eyes softening at what he said. âEven with the distance...it still always feels like youâre here. Your doing a great job of it and I just hope Iâm doing just as well for you.â Jackie ducked her head down for a moment, âWell you did, you made me so proud. It made me wonder how one person can have so many talents.â She complimented. âAnd on top of all of that be so incredibly attractive.â
âOh you do,â Cooper replied. Â âAnd I feel it a little more maybe because you were only here for a couple of days and it feels like our things, our places, are all Doveport related. Â Not something that can be helped just yet. Â And I miss you, obviously but youâre here when I need you. Â Setting aside special time and certain routines helps a lot with the distance too. Â Plus being busy and excited about new work.â Â He shook his heads. âLook at you being biased again.â
Jackie totally understood what he meant. âIâm hoping we can make that many more memories in California. We have a lot of time for that...like spring break, this summer. You can show me so many wonderful places just like how I showed you around here.â Jackie gave him a soft smile, âI could honestly spend all the time talking to you if we could.â She admitted, she certainly missed the days that they would just spend all day together. Making food, talking, and just enjoying each otherâs company. âI mean I may be but look at you all dressed up. I could imagine so many people wanting to dance with you too.â
âWell Iâll also be back for some of that,â Cooper admitted. Â âBut yes there is so much more out here I want to show you and share with you.â Â He nodded his head. Â âI know, I would too. Â Our lazy days I miss the most.â Â Cooper beamed at Jackie. Â âSpeaking of; Iâm sure there are lots of people waiting to dance with you. Â So Iâll talk to you later? Â But feel free to send me pictures or whatnot through the night. Â And most important, have fun.â
"I can't wait for all of it, so many wonderful things to do and memories to make." Just the thought of their lazy days made her heart flutter. Jackie did a playful pout when he said there were other people would want to dance with her. "Or I could stay and tease you some more." She joked before nodding, "Of course I will. I can't wait to get a dance with you and showing off my own surprise for you later." Jackie blew a kiss at the phone, "Talk to you later, handsome. Miss you." A sweet smile still on her face.
"If I know you, you'll tease me plenty later," Cooper laughed. Â He blew a kiss of his own at the phone. Â "See you later beautiful. Â Miss you too." Â He waggled his fingers and ended the call.

Interesting flight
And here it is, the end of Klance AU Month. I actually did it, I did a story for every day, well except day 10 but I've done a whole series on YouTuber, I think I was allowed to skip an AU I knew I wasn't good at. A big thanks to @monthlyklance for moding this event of sorts and being very nice as I sent them link after link of my fics because tumblr wouldn't show my stories in the tag search. Don't know if I'll do this again, maybe when I know time won't be taken up by classes. Wasn't my best fic I think but it's been a long day. Free Day (Single Parent AU)
âAre we going to see granny?â Sylvio asked, watching his uncle feed his little sister.
âYeah, are you excited?â Lance asked, pulling the empty bottle away from Nadiaâs mouth and then handing it to the young boy.
âYeah, I canât wait to spend my birthday with them. Uncle Lance?â
âHmm, whatâs wrong?â
âCan we go see mommy and papi?â
Lanceâs smile faded a little. Sylvioâs parents, his own older brother and sister-in-law, died in a car crash. Lance had been babysitting his niece and nephew, being the only family member living in L.A like Marco, while everyone was in Florida. Heâd just put the kids to sleep, wondering where his brother even was when he got a call. Everything had changed in that night. Being the only one of age that was in the area, Lance had gone from an uncle who was going to start working at the local kindergarten to being a stand in parent. It was hard, having to readjust, having to explain to his nephew that his parents werenât coming back, to try and calm his niece whoâd cry for her parentsâ way of calming her. Sylvio had finally understood that his uncle was going to take care of him and his sister from then on, he seemed to grow up. He was only 4, Lance hated that he felt like he should be the one help take care of Nadia when all he should be concerned with was living as a 4 year old. Lance had sent the ashes of Marco and his wife Lisa to Florida to live with his parents after heâd find Sylvio staring at the urn for hours.
âSure buddy. You need to tell them about all youâve been up to.â
âWeâre about to start boarding for Flight 239 from Los Angles to Florida. Please look at your ticket for your boarding group number. Weâd like to invite our first class flyers and membership flyers to start boarding.â
âGrab our tickets buddy.â Lance instructed as he fitted Nadia into the front carrier, feeling her little breaths against his chest. âWhat number we got?â
â1!â Sylvio called, showing off the tickets to his uncle.
âThatâs right. You hold on tight to that ok? Iâll hold our bag alright?â
âWe now invite group 1 to board.â
âThatâs us! Letâs go Uncle Lance.â Sylvio said, jumping from his seat and running to the line. Lance smiled apologetically to the people whoâd been cut off by Sylvio. The flight attendants smiled down at Sylvio as they took the tickets and scanned them before pointing then in the right direction.
âWhoa, buddy, not so fast.â Lance said as Sylvio ran down the corridor to the plane.
âHello little one.â The flight attendant at the entrance said, helping Sylvio onto the plane. âWhatâs your name?â
âSylvio. Thatâs my sister Nadia and my Uncle Lance.â
âIs it your first time on a plane?â
âYeah! Iâm going to see my granny.â
âOh, well when you go see her, youâll have to show her this.â The flight attendant pulled out a pin of wings and attached it to Sylvioâs shirt.
âUncle Lance, look!â
âLooking good buddy. Can you ask her where our seat is?â
âOh, where are we sitting?â Sylvio asked, letting the flight attendant look at the ticket.
âYouâre number 12 B which means youâre on the left. Do you know where your left hand is?â
âYes!â he relied holding up his left hand.
âLetâs go buddy. Thank you.â
Using his left hand, Sylvio counted the chairs they passed slowly, Lance reminding him which numbers came next. They reached their seats and Lance had Sylvio climb into the seat by the window when he realised he had a problem. Nadia was still on his chest and he had to lift the carry on suitcase into the overhead bin. He could take her off and lay her down in the seats, but he could feel her start to squirm and he didnât trust Sylvio to keep her still.
âDo you need help?â Lance looked to see the person standing behind him. he only had a backpack on, his sweatshirt drowning him.
âUm, if you could? I donât want to risk hitting her.â
âOf course, back up a bit.â Like the suitcase weighed nothing, he picked it up and slid it into the overhead bin. Once it was set, he gestured for Lance to sit down. He waited for Lance the sit in his seat next to Sylvio before pulling his bag off and sitting next to him.
Their seat was the one right after the last first class seat so in no time, Sylvio climbed off his seat and sat on the floor. Lance didnât say anything as it would still be some time until he had to sit his nephew down again and focused on making sure Nadiaâs baby bag, that also held his laptop and tablet heâd given to Sylvio for the trip was under his seat. He didnât want to have to shove it in the overhead bin. He saw that their aisle mate was the same, shoving his bookbag under his seat.
âExcuse me,â one of the flight attendants asked, âwe have basinets if you want one for your daughter?â
âNiece and thank you.â Lance said, patting Nadia as she started to whine a little.
âYou probably have time to feed her before we take off.â Their aisle mate said.
Lance looked over at him. heâd stripped his sweatshirt, not bothering to fix his shirt, which even its mess showed his fit figure. He also noticed how long his hair was. It was past his shoulders and looked really soft. He hoped Nadia didnât spot it. Lisa had long hair so Nadia was used to long hair being near her when she was being held.
âShe already ate. Thankfully she got hungry before we had to board.â
The guy looked down at Sylvio who was looking under the seats. âYou having fun down there?â
âUh huh!â
He let out a small laugh, smiling at Sylvio. Thank god, he seemed to like kids. âCute kid.â
âItâs in his genes. We McClains are adorable.â
âIâm sure.â
Everyone was seated and Lance had coaxed Sylvio up to his seat for take-off. Their aisle mate offered him gum to help with the pressure build-up, letting Sylvio take an extra one. Nadia had dozed off and Lance hoped sheâd stay like that for a while. Sylvioâs eyes were glued to the open window as the plane went down the runway and started to pick up speed.
âWeâre going fast!â
âKeep chewing buddy, itâll help your ears.â Lance said.
Soon the plane tipped up and they took off. Sylvioâs chewing slowed as he watched the world below the plane grow smaller. Lance glanced down as Nadiaâs face scrunched up. He gently shushed her, hoping she stayed asleep. As they got higher though, she moved around more and woke up crying. Lance groaned in his head. Crying baby and they werenât allowed to move around yet, just his luck.
Sylvio, thank god, turned away from the window and started asking his sister what was wrong. Usually it would calm her down slightly but Lance guessed the pressure was hurting her too much for her to pay attention to her brother.
âIs it the pressure bothering her?â His aisle mate asked.
âYeah, Iâm really sorry.â
âItâs fine, really. I know people get annoyed by it but babies canât really control these things.â
Lance was extremely grateful of the understanding man. Finally the seatbelt sign turned off and Lance blocked out what the head flight attendant was saying as he undid his seatbelt and was let out by the still slightly ruffled man. âSylvio, stay here ok?â
âOk.â
Lance tried to ignore the looks he got as Nadia continued to cry. He hadnât gotten the chance to grab her pacifier though he doubted sheâd keep it in her mouth. He gently shushed her, bouncing as he tried to calm her down. Thankfully her cries lessened but she still whined loudly.
âShh, shh, youâre ok.â He whispered when he saw the same man coming towards him. he moved away from the bathroom thinking he was heading there.
âYour, um, nephew, asked me check on you?â
âSylvio yeah. He knows he canât do it himself. You donât have to.â
âI donât mind. Whatâs her name?â
âNadia.â
âNadia.â He called, standing next to Lance. âNadia.â
Hearing a new voice, Nadia tired looking for it, her whining quieting some.
âDo you want to try holding her?â
âIf itâs ok.â
âSure. Help me?â he asked, pointing to the buckle on his back.
It was unclipped and Lance slipped the handles off, keeping Nadia close to him. he let the other man take her, easily taking her into his arms.
âYouâre pretty good.â
âMy brother has a kid, I volunteered at their day-care.â
Nadiaâs whining stopped as she stared up at the new face. She blinked and reached out her hand.
âWait, Nadia, no!â Lance said as she gripped his hair, holding it firm in her grip. Her gaze was completely fixed on the long black strands in her fist. âI am so sorry. She has a thing with hair, she doesnât let â no donât put it in your mouth! Oh god, Nadia.â
âItâs ok. I mean there are worse ways to spend a flight. I never did introduce myself, Iâm Keith.â He said, his hand pulling Nadiaâs fist away from her mouth.
âLance, hi. Um, sheâs not going to let go.â
âItâs ok, I donât mind holding her. Besides, you still have your nephew to worry about.â
âUm, right. Thanks.â Lance pulled off the carrier entirely and lead them back to there seats where Sylvio stared at his sister in Keithâs arms.
âShe liked his hair?â
âYou know your sister. Do you want your tablet?â
âYes please.â
âHow old is he?â Keith asked letting Nadia stand on his lap so he wouldnât risk her pulling out his hair.
â4.â
âHe talks a lot for a 4 year old.â
âAnother gene of McClains, we donât have an off switch.â Lance said, opening the armrest to pull out the try for Sylvio, letting him navigate the tablet on his own. âSo you volunteer at your um?â
âNephew. I picked him up one day and was asked to stick around to help with something and the next thing I knew, I kept going back. I work in security so kids except my nephew I never thought were my forte. Turns out Iâm not bad with them.â
âI can tell. I work at a kindergarten and I donât think Iâve managed to calm a fussy kid down the quickly.â
âI guess youâd be good with kids. You got Sylvio very worried about you.â
Lance gained a pain smile on his face, âit for a different reason. Their parents died a while back. I went from babysitting uncle to new dad in a night.â Looking over at Sylvio who focused on the tablet. âSylvio had to understand that so young. When I dropped him off to school on the first day back, he wouldnât stop crying for hours and of course seeing her brother cry made Nadia sad.â
âThat must have been a lot.â
Lance nodded. âIt was. Parenting is terrifying enough. Itâs hard but a smile from either of these two makes it feel worth it.â
âI know they must apr-Ow!â Keith was cut off when Nadia pulled on his hair.
âNo Nadia.â Lance said, pulling her fist open, even though she whined. Keith sat her on his lap and gave her his hand to play with. âAgain, really sorry.â He said, pushing Keithâs hair off his shoulders.
âHereâs that bassinet.â The flight attendant came and attached the carrier onto the wall in front of them, pressing down on it to make sure it was stable. âLetâs give your boyfriendâs lap a break.
âOh, uh, heâs not my boyfriend.â Lance corrected, feeling his cheeks getting hot.
âWhatâs a boyfriend?â Sylvio asked, Lance frowning at him.
âNow you pull your attention from the tablet. Donât worry about that silly.â
âSorry, itâs just she seems so comfortable on his lap and he seemed so nice to you as you were boarding. My apologies. Weâll start the drink service soon.â
âThank you.â Once the flight attendant left, Lance turned to Keith. âI honestly feel like all Iâm doing is apologizing.â
Keith lifted Nadia off his lap and placed her in the basinet, watching her look around. âItâs ok. I can certainly say this is one of the most interesting flights Iâve been on.â

psa im probably gonna be posting stuff involving some spoilers soon, so ill tag them as #qcyn spoilers and you can feel free to block those posts if you dont want to see them!
awwwwwww shi mingze helping mingming get peopleâs attention is the cutest friendship!!! mingming is so quiet... i love a supportive mingze!!! also thank you iqiyi for giving him more screentime!! i can notice it already!
LOL sun zelin in this rap heavy group..... but this group is already the most fun group hahahah omg ye ziming talking about the fact that he knows heâs not likely gonna make it so he needs to help those kids who are more popular get better......... UGH WHY DO PEOPLE NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AMAZING CHILD. oh my goodness this is so sad.... the fact that THE KIDS WHO KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING had to make a club dedicated to helping the kids who dont.... bc they know theyll make it instead of themselves....... that just means that they all know the next elim is gonna get rid of a whole lot of real talent. thats so messed up.... this whole montage is like iqiyi being like âthanks for helping our kids look nice on stage, once youâre done, youâre gonna be forced to leave. byeeeeeâÂ
OMGOMGOMGOMOGMOGMOMGG LIN MO IS A CANDIDATE FOR CENTERRRR YESSSSSSSS I CANT BELIEVE!!!!! AMAZING!!!! also look at all the tyger members together aww
LOL lian huaiwei is just so funny just talking LOL. wait. so about that clip of lin mo helping chaoyuan and youwei that came out earlier this week. chaoyuan and youwei arent even in his half of the group. that means lin mo went out of his way to help them even tho he hasnt been practicing with them as closely as like huaiwei. wow he not only helped his own group but he went out to make sure everyone in their larger group got special help, AND youwei still called him âteacherâ which means lin mo is probably regularly helping him. wow. man,, they didnt show any of lin moâs groupâs practice wtf........ i swear iqiyi is about to drop jia yi or something bc i thought theyd at least wanna show some of him.... but the small bit we saw of their dance wow lin mo is gonna do sooo well ahhhh he looks so good already, even in these lumpy practice clothes, im so excited to see him on stage
lol yaoyao (yao bolan) is in the super cute grouppp hahahhaha but ahh him talking about every faking their happiness really.... shows how observant and sensitive he is to his friendsâ feelings, which is aw....
OMG THEY JUST SKIPPED ANNOUNCING the lower ranks ???? i mean i get u gotta be time efficient, but thats a little too efficient??? omg but sun zelin!!! and wu chengze!!! and wu zelin!! omg wang jiayi dropped so much. iqiyi has seriously just dropped him like a hot potato wow. CHEN SIJIAN WENT UP WHOOOO lol the creativity is real in this one hahahaha his speech
ok im sorry but wtf how did these three (14-16) get in front of lin mo, excuse me???? sigh.... oh well, at least hes still within top 20, i just want him to at least make it to top 20... lol they only let like 3 kids talk...... this is just too efficient yall.....
omgosh........ shi zhan and yaoyao........... ahhhhhhhhhhhh my heart ;;;;; yaoyaoâs smile......... another bg project boy is gonna leave ahhhÂ
yao chiâs speech omg..... the child has seriously been through a lot of mental trauma look at how much heâs shaking goodness
omg i cant believe jia yi dropped so much...... wtf.......... are people blind???? iqiyi is really about to drop him omg i really think they havent been giving him enough screentime alskdjlk wow way to randomly cut off jia yiâs thank you to zhan yu.... wtf i need more jia yi + zhan yu time.... zhan yu is like jia yiâs favorite gege.... omg zhan yuâs tears ahhh zhan yu may say that he wishes he could be the maknae but he honestly cares so much for jia yi, even tho heâs not much older than him, its so aw.....
omg i just looked up ye ziming on weibo and hes friends with guanguan, changbin, zhu zijie and zhong yixuan??? omggg fandom clash wowowÂ
this segment with these kids with disabilities........ i dont know how i feel about this...... it feels problematic to me....... the trainees dont know what theyre doing, so how is this benefitting these children? if anything its just to make the trainees look like theyre doing some great charity work or something, but i dont appreciate the attitude some of them have towards these kids... i get theyre frustrated and werent properly prepared to interact with them, which i dont blame them for, but its like why is this segment even a thing, iqiyi??? theyre just coming in and using these kids as a backdrop to make themselves look nice, and not actually doing anything sustainable or meaningful to help them... what good is it to get these kids to like them and get familiar with them just for them to leave within a few hours? its just another person who came and left........Â
omg guan yue is second omg good for you, child!!!!!!!!!!!!! good good good im glad, he deserves it!!!!!!!
lol they better show the other rounds of this basketball tournament in the extra clips..............
these ads are getting more and more ridiculous im ??? cowboys ??? ?
NOOOOO ZHAN YU!!!!!!!!! 37!??!!?!!! I CANT BELIEVE THEYRE SO CLOSE AGAIN!!!!! ALSKDJLKJLK FIRST ZHEN NAN 61 AND NOW ZHAN YU 37 AGHHHHHH ok but i cant even be mad at yuzhi bc i know he deserves it too.
OMG WHY THE FRICK WOULD YOU CHOOSE WENHAN /?!?!??? AGAIN!??//!? THEY SHOULD BE PICKING KIDS THAT NEED TO GET PICKED!!!!!! WENHAN IS THE LEAST OF YOUR CONCERNS GOODNESS GRACIOUS ALSKDJLASKJDLÂ
omg boyuan!!! they really like boyuan hahah but he deserves it too and zhuo yuan being so so happy for him is the sweetest ahhhh and junjie crying ahhh i love these 3 roommatesss
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS ZHAN YU!!!!!!! YESY YESYEYS YES!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?!??!? THAT MEANS WE HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE ALL 3 TYGERS ON THE SAME STAGE!!!!!!!!!! ALKSDJLAKSDJLAKSJDLJK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS OMGOMOGMOMGG THANK YOU SO MUCH i was thinking âthey really like zhan yu hahhaa they picked zhan yu last time, maybe theyll pick him againâ---- THANK GOODNESS AHHHHHH ok but im kinda disappointed they literally didnt show lin moâs reaction... only jia yiâs.... which i feel like is bc they enjoy playing off of jia yiâs emotions more.... which makes me feel (again) like theyre using the other tyger members as backdrop for jia yi, rather than respecting their friendship and group as a whole? like theyre all really amazing friends and people, theyre not just âjia yi and his friendsâ, if you get what i mean... but jia yi being so so happy i love!!!!! im so so so happy for them ahhhh yessssss you go zhan yu, you are amazing!!!!!!!!! get that recognition!!!!!!!
omg zhuo yuan being so happy for his friends is honestly the cutest. im sad that he didnt make it... yao chi and mingming being so happy i love!!!!!! good for yechen! his voice is honestly really nice and very unique!
frick i cant believe they didnt notice ye ziming.... and su yuhang.... they deserved better......... cheche crying ahhhh li you and kou cong deserved better too... ahhh seeing guan yue crying more than cheche or mingming crying more than kou cong, or ye ziming comforting others... its like the kids who are left are so sad for them, the kids who were actually eliminated.. this friendship is ahhhhh
man, i was just getting to know and like yaoyao and cui shaopeng too...
this is so sad for zhuo yuan and jiahao tho, like all the kids around them, physically and also in the ranking, went up, but not them.... i wonder if jiahao had been given screentime during his last stage, he wouldve gotten more votes... but bc of the hair thing, he got cut out of the ep even tho he was center...... Â
man, fangzhou is the last core one member left........
oh my goodness.......... that ending................. oh my goodness.................. why does this have to happen to huo zhong.................... oh goodness thats gonna be such a drastic change from huo zhong to the super cute song...... i hate to say it, but i feel like none of them would want to go there LOL ahhhhh how will guan yue choose???? laskdjlaskjlk ok im hopeful that he at least wont choose zhan yu (because hes not cute LOL) but i really really hope lin mo can stay too oh gosh.......... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh guan yue....... (i know ding feijun is also there but im guessing guan yue is gonna be the main decision maker) but if hes smart he wont choose kids who will have trouble learning a whole new dance, which means.... he is likely to take more skilled trainees....... UGH IM SO WORRIED. but tbh i guess.... even if lin mo goes from super cool handsome center to a super cutesy backup dancer.... i guess... heâll get to challenge himself and try a new style.......... which i guess... isnt terrible........ heâll be cute, im sure.... so as long as he can still make it into top 20, i wont be terribly distraught. honestly i feel like im being rather reasonable as a lin mo stan, like Iâm not asking for him to get as much screentime as like wenhan, just at least enough so that we can tell that he exists and was there (COUGHepisode7COUGH), and Iâm not asking that he be center every time or that he get into top 9, i just want him to get recognition, respect, and into at least top 20. I think he can do it!!! hes working so so hard, despite being injured, and hes helping so many other kids..... i just wish his work can be acknowledged.Â
oof now thats its down to 2 votes a day... its time we see who peopleâs real biases are... im guessing theres gonna be some drastic changes in the rankings from here, bc the kids who are just well-liked by everyone but not actually âbiasedâ will be dropped like crazy. i know who im gonna vote for, but im sad it means i wont be able to vote for some kids who i know will really need votes too..... but i believe you can kinda tell which kids are âbiasâ material and which are more just generally well-liked. thatâs all im gonna say about it, but for everyone whoâs voting, just choose wisely bc some kids will need your votes more than others, just saying....Â
lol guan yueâs psa to eat more fruit..... okay guan yue, okay hahahahhaha
wow i cant believe chen you and li you both got clips in the ending credits and also ye ziming even got 2 clips......... i swear they only started giving ye ziming screentime after it was too late??!!!? like they finally realized hes super funny and talented and #amazing and felt bad but ITS TOO LATE IQIYI laksjdlaklklk ill say it again ye ziming deserved better. on his weibo he says heâll be coming out with new stuff soon tho!!! so im super excited and will def be keeping a lookout bc im sure itll be legit c:Â
#rants#WELL thats over with#still annoyed at how quickly they sped thru everyone but top 10... lol iqiyi can you pls try to hide your bias for once???#qcyn spoilers

Chat Para â Backyard Grammarâ¨
Tagging â Sam Evans, Mercedes Jones, Chris Murray, Brittany Pierces, Santana Lopez, and Charice Crawford
Time Frame â April 7th around 8:30pm â¨
Location âSantanaâs Estate
General Notes âEvery one joins together to celebrate Santanaâs new houseâŚ
Charice: had always loved organizing parties. Granted, the last part she organized had culminated in the end of her marriage but it was still a love of hers to pull all of her friends together and spend time with them. She wanted tonight to be drama free and she honestly believed they could do it, especially since they were all adults and the typical drama starters werent going to be at the party. All she wanted was to be surrounded by her friends for one night, without the kids, and to celebrate Santanaâs new place. Charice walked over to the bar and adjusted some of the bottles of champagne that theyâd brought in for the party and looked around with a nod. The party was ready, she was dressed and people were already starting to filter in. She spotted Sam come into the party and breathed out heavily. Dont get her wrong, she loved her brother in law. But he was a fucking idiot. Him and her cousin. He had a wonderful girl at home that had no idea what he was doing behind her back and he was going to ruin things with Mila if he wasnt careful. Especially since Charice knew above all that he and Mercedes wouldnt last. It was a nice idea in theory but they were both so fucked up that they logically couldnt last and she just wanted them happy. Right now they were going to be miserable, no matter what they thought. Charice sighed and reached for a glass of champagne before downing it quickly. âJesus, I dont pray to you often⌠ever. I dont pray to you ever but if you make this party go smoothly, Iâll go to church on Sunday,â she muttered before going to greet the guests.
Santana: was up stairs in her room, getting dressed for the party. She had been waiting for this from the moment she and Charice started planning this. This was more then just a house warming party, this was a new chapter in her life. She was finally where she wanted to be in her life and she just wanted to celebrate it with her best friends. Since it was just going to be a few of them, she knew there wasnât going to be any drama at all. So she didnât have to worry about cutting anyone with her razor blade. She finished up her last touches of her makeup, before grabbing her phone so she could face time Antonio before he had to go to bed.
Sam: walked into the house, trying to make sure that his clothes were fixed and that he his hair wasnât so messy. He was one of the people to show up first. Well that was until he got attacked by Mercedes. He had pulled around the back of Santanaâs house and was getting ready to get out only for Mercedes to corner him. At first he said they will meet up later since Mila was out of town, but as she started kissing him, he couldnât do anything but give into her. She was pure evil and she knew this. They were just lucky that nobody had came around back and that where they parked was gated. After they were done Mercedes told him to go in first so nobody would expect anything or question why they came together. Sam took a deep breath feeling his heart slowing down, looking around the nice big house âDamn this is niceâ he said admiring the staircase and the pictures Santana had hung up on her wall.
Chris: was honestly happy for Santana. He was happy that she was not only taking care of her mental health but also setting up a home for herself and their son. And of course, he wasnt shocked when he saw the house and how gorgeous it was, considering Santana always had good taste. âWow,â he gasped, taking Brittanyâs hand in his as they walked into the house party. âYouâd think sheâd get a small apartment in the city but I guess not.â
Mercedes: adjusted her shirt and jeans as she walked up the steps into Santanaâs new home. She tried to hide the bright smile that was on her lips but she couldnt, especially after what she and Sam had just done. She didnt mean to pounce on him but the minute she saw him, it was like she was a kid in a candy store and she wanted it all. She hadnt meant for it to be much more than kissing but when it came to Sam, there was no such thing as just a quick kiss and go. So it was no surprise that ten minutes later she had effectively had three orgasms and wanted to nap the rest of the day away. But sadly, she couldnt. She had to support her friend and her new home. So after cleaning up and laughing at how red Sam looked, she forced him to go first and got out of the car a few minutes after. She made sure to fix her make up and hair in the mirror before getting out of the fogged car and took in the gorgeous house in front of her. It was a nice place but of course it was. Santana had nice taste and if she knew her best friend and cousin, she knew that this party was going to be great. She waited a few seconds before walking in, wincing when she saw Charice in the corner drinking champagne like it was the last drop left on earth and bounced over to her. âHey Reesie! This is gorgeous. You two did a great job. I mean really,â she beamed, earning a look from her older cousin. âWhat?â
Brittany: wasnât even in the house yet and she was already in love with it. She knew that the house would be insanely beautiful because Santana wouldnât take anything less. But this house was just gorgeous and she couldnât wait to see the inside of it. She grabbed Chris hand, still amazed âYeah I know⌠But as loud as Santana can get at times, just from laughing. This is a good thing.â She joked walking into the house.
Charice: narrowed her eyes at her cousin as she walked towards her and sucked her teeth. âNothing⌠You just look real happy,â she accused. âI bet it has something to do with Boy Wonder who just walked in about 3 minutes before you. From the back too⌠Hmph. You need to stop whatever youâre doing with him Cedes and Iâm serious.â
Santana: giggled as Antonio made pouty faces when she said she had to go and he needed to be in bed âI love you and I promise I will see you tomorrow.â She assured him. She could see that he was getting sleepy just from the way he laid on the bed and blew her kisses âMommy loves youâ she said blowing kisses back. âThanks again for watching him Mel.â She smiled waving goodbye to the woman before hanging up. She placed her phone on the table, walking out of the room, heading toward the stairs. She stepped down the stairs seeing Sam admiring the pictures âI see youâre admiring the artwork alreadyâ she chuckled walking toward him. âWhereâs Merissa?â She asked.
Sam: looked up to see Santana walking down and smiled. âWell itâs not the best painting in the world because itâs not by me.. but itâs okayâ he winked at her. He playfully rolled his eyes when Santana purposely said Milaâs wrong âHer name is Mila. And she is out of town with her parentsâ he said with a sigh âand I really wish you would learn her name okay?â He said softly before pulling her into a hug âCongratulations on the new house San. Iâm very happy for youâ he whispered kissing her head.
Chris: chuckled and nodded. âYou got that right. I used to wonder if she was deaf sometimes because she was so loud,â he said looking around more. âOpen bar, praise god. And look thereâs Cedes and Charice.â he practically skipped over to his cousins and grinned, seeing them. âLadies. I see we have champagne behind you and it would be ever so kind of you to hand me a glass for m'lady and a glass for myself.â
Mercedes: shrugged at her cousinâs accusatory tone. âI am happy Charice. Is that such a crime?â Her smile fell when Charice mentioned Sam and cleared her throat. âWould you drop it please?â she asked through clenched teeth. âItâs none of your business and you need to just leave it and us alone about it, okay? I dont try to control your life all the time so stop trying to control mine.â She looked up as Chris and Brittany walked over and smiled as brightly as she could, hugging her best friend and rolling her eyes at Chris. âOkay Shakespeare, relax,â she snorted, handing them both a glass of champagne and getting one for herself. âWhere is the party host anyways?â She spotted Santana and Sam talking by the stairs and walked over to them. âTana! This house is beyond fantastic! I mean you make me wanna buy a house in the âburbs. Almost,â she joked, giving her friend a hug before turning to Sam. âHey Sam, howâs it going?â She could see Charice rolling her eyes out of the corner of her eye but ignored her. âIâve been meaning to come to the new gallery lately but Iâve been so swamped.
Brittany: giggled softly as they walked toward Charice and Mercedes. She reached over to hug Mercedes âHey you!â She smiled, chuckling at Chris dramatics, excepting the glass. She took a sip of her drink, glancing around the kitchen âwow when this kitchen is insaneâ she said admiring the well designed kitchen.
Santana: returned the hug, running her hand up and down Samâs back âThank you Samâ she smiled softly, gently pulling away to see Mercedes walking toward them. âHey! Thank you! It took me forever to decide if I wanted this house or notâ she said honestly, returning Mercedes hug. She looked between Sam and Mercedes and smiled âWell you should come with me next week. Antonio wants to go get his face painted again with Ari and Alleyâ she pointed out, seeing that Chris and Brittany were here âIâll be back!â She said skipping toward the group âHey Brittâ she said excitedly wrapping her arm around her âIâm glad you could make it!â She beamed looking over at Chris as if she didnât want him here âoh yeah and you too Murrayâ she joked. She glanced over at Charice seeing that she was somewhere else âoh and Troubles I invited Alyssa over.. hope thatâs okay!â She said trying to get her best friendâs attention.
Charice: scoffed loudly. âHa! You always try to control my life Cedes! âCharice do this, Charice do that. Charice dont forget how much you must love Dylan, take a chance on the crazy white boy that ruined your life again!â she laughed. âIâm simply returning the favor.â She looked over as Chris and Brittany came over to them and sighed âHey yall,â she smiled, as they walked over to Santana and Sam. She damn near lost her eyes behind her eyelids with how hard she was rolling them at the little game Sam and Mercedes were playing. âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry I cant, are yall foreal right now?â she asked, the two of them. âYall deadass about to act like yall are JUST now seeing each other for the first time today? Really?! You two think weâre that dumb because if you think that, Iâm gonna need more alcohol.â She cut her eyes to Santana and grimaced. âNot funny.â
Sam: smiled softly at Santana as she spoke. He loved seeing his friend so happy. He looked over to see Mercedes and smiled, trying to act as if they didnât fuck ten minutes okay. âOh he Cedes.. itâs good to see youâ he said nodding at her words âYeah I understand.. I have been busy with work myself but yeah Sanâs right you should come by soon. I give you a private tour of my collectionsâ he smirked. He waited until Santana left before he got closer to Mercedes âCan I stay with you tonight?â Asked, leaning against the stair rails, noticing the group walking toward them âHey guysâ he said with a smile. He went to say something only for Charice to interrupt, frowning a bit âCharice what are you talking about?â He asked not knowing that she already knew about what was going on with them. Santana
Chris: dryly laughed at Santana. âHa, ha. You keep pretending like Iâm not your favorite person and Iâll begin to believe it,â he smiled, patting Sam on the back. âHey man.â He went to say more to his friend but Charice had interrupted him, snapping at both Sam and Mercedes. âUh, you sure you arent already drunk?â he joked, looking around their friend group. âWhatâs going on?â
Mercedes: smiled. âSure. I want my face painted and I wouldnt mind a private tour,â she said brightly, trying to keep her composure as Sam got closer once Santana stepped away. âOkay⌠although my boyfriend might be there tonight. Heâs kinda protective, pretty manly. He might attack if he sees you in my apartment.â She snorted, seeing the look on Samâs face. âHeâs also furry and walks on four legs so I think youâll be safe,â she teased, groaning slightly when Charice began to speak. She really didnt want her cousin blabbing anything right now, especially when everything was going to well for her. She inhaled deeply and turned to look at Charice. âWhy dont we talk,â she said tensely, pulling her cousin away from the group so no one could hear. âLook okay I get it! I get that you arent okay with what Sam and I are doing and I get that youâve been the cake or whatever dumb analogy you made up but I need you to understand as my family, that I am not Stephanie and Sam is not Dylan. So stop comparing our situations and if you wouldnt mind⌠Butt. Out.â She plastered on a fake smile and rejoined the group with a huff. âI think sheâs a little tipsy,â she shook her head. âMust be her first weekend without the kids.â
Brittany: smiled softly âHey Chariceâ she said getting ready to ask her about the kids but stopped the minute she felt Santana wrapped her arms around her âHey! Thanks for Inviting me.. Iâm so in love with this houseâ she said as she followed Charice and Chris toward Sam and Mercedes âHey Sammy!â She said squeezing his cheeks, letting out a giggle, before frowning a bit at Charice. She looked between, Sam,Mercedes and Charice feeling some tension between them âummm okay.. is everything okay?â She asked watching Mercedes drag Charice away from them. She walked closer to Sam raising her eyebrow, turning to see Mercedes return âyeah.. I guess so.. but hey let her be tipsy if she wants. I think she deserves it after having twinsâ she smiled.
Charice: followed behind her cousin as she dragged her from the group and crossed her arms. She didnt necessarily want to spill the beans to their friends but at the same time, she wanted Mercedes to understand that what she was doing, wasnt okay and that she was actually hurting herself. âDo you Cedes. Just know, karma is a mean, vindictive bitch,â she said, clenching her teeth as Mercedes walked off. Fine, if this was the life her cousin wanted to live then so be it. But it was only going to end badly. âSanny, whereâs your liquor cabinet. I need something stronger,â she announced, turning around into the kitchen.
Santana: chuckled lightly,reaching over to smack his cheeks âaww you know you will Always be my favorite personâ she smiled innocently at him. She took a sip of her own drink, âthanks Brittany! Iâm glad you like the houseâ she said frowning at Charices words. She could tell something was up just from the way Charice was looking at Sam and at Mercedes. âLook if they have seen each this week itâs fine. We all know Sam and Mercedes favors each other over the rest of usâ she joked. She thought maybe her joking around would help with the obvious tenstion but it didnât. âWowww well.. Iâm guessing nobody is gonna tell us whatâs going on and you know what honestly I donât want to know. I want to enjoy this part drama freeâ she said turning toward her best friend âItâs in the living room. Speaking of, I gotta get a lock for it. Antonio was trying to play in it.â She said getting a look from Chris âI will get a lock before he comes back. I promise..â she assured him âwell do you guys want to see the pool. Itâs literally Antonioâs favorite.â She chuckled âTroubles are you coming?â
Sam: gave Mercedes a quickly wink. âHey Murrayâ he greeted his friend. He could feel Chariceâs eyes burning through his skin and it wasnât a good feeling. He honestly wanted to know what her deal was and he was going to ask just thought. But from the way Mercedes dragged Charice away from them, he had a feeling that he already knew the answer. He chuckles nervously at Santanaâs comment, he knew that drinking was out of the question but it really did sound good right now. Especially for his nerves âummm I have no ideaâ he lied nodded his head âyeah letâs not bring up any drama.â He said calmly. âOh no donât mention Pool to Alley unless you want her here everyday.â
Chris: was still at a loss as far as what was going on with his cousins but he knew it was better not to ask, especially when it came to Charice and Mercedes. They were probably fighting over something petty that could be resolved with a simple conversation. He frowned at Chariceâs question and frowned even more when Santana said Antonio had been caught playing in the liquor cabinet. He shrugged a shoulder, trying to play his concern off. âI didnt even say anything but just so you know, I have a bunch of locks at my house that I can give. You can lock up alllll the liquor,â he grinned, following his friends out to the pool. âOh my god, now I wanna live here. Bee, can we have one, pleeeaaassseeeeee.â Mercedes
Mercedes: clapped her hands when a pool was mentioned. âUgh, I miss having a pool in my back yard,â she sighed, trying to bring the mood back from the tension from earlier. âI miss being a kid sometimes, ya know. Nothing to worry about but school, prom and crushes. Now I gotta worry about bills, student loans and⌠well still crushes. That hasnt changed much actually. Iâve started to regress.â
Brittany: nodded her head in agreement with Santana. She wanted to have fun and not focus on drama at least not tonight when they are suppose to be celebrating Santanaâs new house. She looked between Chris and Santana as they talked about locks to keep Antonio out of things âYeah I think we have locks on pretty much everything in the houseâ she chuckled. She gasped when Santana mentioned the pool, and quickly followed her. âWowww this is big poolâ she said stepping down the stairs. She admired how beautiful the water looked in the bright light. She chuckled at Chrisâ question âif we get a house like this Ari would never wanna go to schoolâ she said walking beside Mercedes âugh I know. I guess that how thing youâre gonna wish your life away is true huh?â She said wrapping her arm around Mercedes shoulder âBut hey at least youâre happy right? I mean you look happy.â
Charice: waved a hand at Santana. âIâm coming!â First, she needed a drink. After getting it, she walked into the backyard, her cold drink in her hand and sighed at the large pool. It was great and she definitely planned on being out here a lot when it finally got warm again. She scoffed loudly at Mercedesâ words and took a sip of her drink. âWho do you have a crush on Cedes? Hm? Inquiring minds wanna know. Do we know them? Or is it someone from your work⌠oh wait I forgot, you arent working yet. So who are you seeing so much that your able to develop a crush?â she asked, sweetly, looking directly at Sam. She walked over to Brittany and Mercedes and nodded. âDoesnt she? She looks so happy. Kinda like the happy you experience when youâre doing something you shouldnt be doing.â
Santana: gave Chris a knowingly look âI know you Murray and I can see that look in your eye where you want to lecture but youâre trying not toâ she chuckled âWell I might grab some from you guys then. He is so nosy⌠I donât know here he got that fromâ she said mindlessly. She smiled softly as they all went outside, if she was honest this was the biggest reason why she got this house. âWell you guys know youâre more then welcome to come here anytime. I already gave my security team your names. So they will let you in if Iâm not here.âshe she said listening to Mercedes speak. âYeah I have to say Cedes.. your kind of glowingâ she chuckled but quickly sighed when Charice came out side âTroubles come on so what if she is doing something she has no business. She never does anything bad. Let her liveâ she said with a shrug âbesides I kind of wish I was in that kind of trouble.âshe joked
Sam: sighed thinking that the drama was finally gone and they could breath and finally have a good time. He smiled gently at Mercedes words and if he was honest he felt the same. Yes what they were doing was wrong, but it just felt right at this moment and it wasnât anyone business but theirs. He went to say something but stopped at Charice words. He locked eyes with her, getting confirmation that she knew and she wasnât happy about it. Which Sam understood but he didnât understand why she was so dead set on telling everyone what was going on. It didnât involve her or any of them for that matter. At this point he felt uncomfortable and thought maybe it would be best if he just left. âHey guys I have to run. Presley is coming back and I told him I would pick him up at the airport.âhe said giving Mercedes a look. It wasnât a total lie he did have to pick Presley up, but that was in five or six hours. He figured maybe if he left Charice would back off.
Chris: raised his hands in defense. âI have no idea what you mean,â he smirked before letting out a chuckle. âYou dont know where he got it from? Look in the mirror dear.â He frowned when Charice came out, guns blazing and shook his head. âOkay you guys need to tell us whatâs going on because you two rarely fight and when you do, itâs bad so come on. Weâre all friends here.â He glanced over at Sam and shook his head. âDude you just got here. Come on stay for a minute. Presley will be fine.â
Mercedes: clenched her teeth as Charice came into the backyard, ready to cause more drama. She was trying her hardest to ignore the little digs her cousin was giving but she had finally had enough. âShut up Charice!â she finally snapped, glaring at her older cousin. âYou are so annoying God! Maybe, I dont know, dig around your own personal life instead of trying to tell the entire world about mine! Had I known youâd just blab it, I wouldntâve told you. I thought we were family and we were supposed to have some kinda trust but I guess I was wrong! God, to think I felt guilty about telling Dylan about the twins! The fact that you hid them from him for the first few months of their like some kinda trophy you can hang over his head!â She really didnt mean to tell her that she was the one that told Dylan but it was like word vomit and it wouldnt stop. âI mean you try to act like you have your entire life together but really youâre just so bored you dont know how to keep your big nose out of my business!â
Brittany: shook her head at Santana and Chris âWell technically he got it from both of youâ she rushed out âI mean⌠I didnât say anythingâ she said trying to cover her tracks. She smiled softly at Charice thinking that she was sincere but realized she was wrong, especially when Mercedes snapped on her âYeah seriously whatâs going on!â She said looking between the cousins. She didnât know how bad things were until now and she had a feeling itâs only going to get worst. She sadly looked at Sam when he said he was leaving âWhy canât Pres just get your driver to get him?l she innocently suggested. Her eyes widen at Mercedes words âum Maybe Charice is just concerned Cedesâ she pointed out hoping to defuse the situation.
Charice: wasnt expecting Mercedes to snap and she honestly wasnt trying to start drama but she wanted her cousin to see that what she was doing was wrong and it needed to end. She was going to give her a pass and allow her to rant and rave all she wanted but just as she was about to speak, she heard Mercedes say that she was the one that told Dylan about the twins. It all made sense. Why Dylan knew they were his, why Mercedes was suddenly team DylanâŚ. and all Charice saw was red. Sheâd never want to fight Mercedes but she was considering it for a split second. âYou told Dylan about the twins?â she shook her head. âHow could you do that to me? I trusted you not to tell him. I trusted you to let me tell him in my own time and you went and told him?!â Charice nodded her head and took a large drink from her glass. âOkay. You wanna tell secrets Cedes, letâs tell secrets. I love sharing secrets with all my friends, dont you âcousinâ!â she spat. âSee I wasnt gonna say shit but since apparently family doesnt mean anything anymore, letâs all tell our little secrets! So friends, did you know Cedes and Sam have been fucking on the DL since New Years? Yeah⌠see you had us all fooled. You two are best friends and all that bullshit. Turns out sheâs been fucking and sucking him while heâs engaged to someone else.â She turned to Sam and glared at him. âI thought you were better than that Sam. I thought you were a good man but surprise, surprise, I was wrong. It must run in the family right? You dont deserve Mila at all. Sheâs a good person and she doesnt deserve you sleeping with someone else behind her back.â Charice turned her attention back to Mercedes and shook her head. She was hurt and angry and she felt betrayed. Sure, she could have handled this affair better but she was going for shock to be what turned Cedes around only to be shocked herself. âYou might be right. I might be a bored single mother who has too much time on her hands. But Iâm a bored single mother who gives a damn about you. And Iâd rather be a bored single mother than be a pathetic shadow of the woman I used to be waiting for some man to leave his fiancee for me when it isnt gonna happen.â Charice took another sip of her drink, finishing it off, placed it on the table and walked into the house to leave the party.
Santana: was having fun picking on Chris and giggling with Brittany. Well until all hell broke loose. She had a feeling something big was going on and honestly she did want to know but not right now. But from the looks of it everything was exploding and she was gonna find out about everything whether she wanted to know about it or not. She looked at Mercedes in shock as she finally explode âokay can we all just calm down and just talk this through⌠like adults..damnâ she begged both of her best friends who ignored her wishes. She went to say something but before she could, she heard Sam was sleeping with Mercedes. In that moment she just became speechless in the first time in history.
Sam: hated to lie to his friends, but he just didnât want the drama, not tonight of all nights. âI know but Iâll make it up to youâ he said wincing when Mercedes snapped on Charice. He felt so guilty about all of this because honestly if he was just honest with himself and with Mercedes none of this would happened. But he was selfish he couldnât let her go, not yet. When Charice let it be known what he and Mercedes had been doing he wasnât shocked. Especially when Mercedes was hitting below the belt. He locked eyes with his sister, hating the look that she was giving him. He could handle anyone else judging them or being mad at them, but Charice, he couldnât deal with it. âsi-â he whispered trying to find some way to explain himself, but he knew he couldnât. He looked between his friends, not knowing what to say at this point. Charice was right, Mila didnât deserve this and neither did Mercedes. He shouldnât have never started this in the first place. Mercedes deserved so much better then him and it was becoming more clearer now. âI gotta goâ he whispered, attempting to walk around the back toward his car.
Chris: winced as Mercedes snapped. He didnt know what provoked this but what he did know was that this couldnt be good. âHey guys maybe we need to take a breather, okay?â he suggested, his eyes growing wide when Mercedes confessed to telling Dylan about the twins. Heâd always felt guilty about hiding them from Dylan even if he wasnt his friend anymore but he had convinced himself that it wasnt his place. He dropped his head in shame but then picked it back up when Charice let everyone know that Sam and Mercedes were sleeping together. âWhat?!â he shouted, looking between his cousin and best friend. He stepped closer to Charice, wanting to calm her down, especially since she was saying some pretty heated things but stopped when she left on her own. He turned back to Sam, seeing him trying to make a quick exit but stopped him. âWhat the hell man? Youâre gonna take the cowards way out?â he asked, genuinely in shock.
Mercedes: knew that she was in for it the minute Charice started to shout. She shook her head, silently begging her cousin not to say anything but before she could, Charice had told all her friends. She looked around at her friend group and tried to fight her tears. What Charice was saying was hurtful, yes but she still didnt understand where Mercedes was coming from. She loved Sam. She honestly truly loved him and if giving him up was the only way that she could do the right thing, then she didnt wanna do the right thing ever again. She looked down as Charice left and sniffled when Sam mentioned needing to leave. âLet him go,â she whispered, looking up. âChris let him goâŚâ
Brittany: was trying to wrap her head around everything that was going on. And before she could ask again what was going on and why they were so mad at each other. Charice let it out that Sam and Mercedes was sleeping together âSERIOUSLY?â She said looking between them. Brittany loved both of her friends but she didnât agree with this, not one bit. She glared at Sam, shaking her head at him. She thought about the conversation that they had together, when Sam admitted that he still loved Mercedes but still going to marry Mila. âI told you this would happen Samâ she scoffed, crossing her arms. She wasnât trying to judge them but she couldnât help but be mad at them, especially Sam.
Santana: was still taking everything in as her friends talked among themselves. She had a feeling that Sam and Mercedes still had feelings for each other. But this was so unlike them, they were never the cheating type. She looked between Sam and Mercedes as Chris and Brittany was freaking out. She could see the guilt between them. âGuys back offâ she said looking at Chris and Brittany âBesides none of us has a right to lecture. Especially meâshe said that tuning to Mercedes âDonât cry okay?â She said thumbing away her best friendâs tears. âIâm in your corner.. remember that.â She sadly smiled.
Sam: stopped on his foot steps at Chris words âNo but Iâm not gonna stand here and listen as you guys go off and Mercedes and Iâ he said sadly âI know what a jerk you guys think I am and that Mercedes and Mila deserve better and you know what??? I agree with you Chris.â He chuckled sadly. He looked at Brittany and shook his head âDonât!â He pointed out at her. He knew that she was talking about the conversation that they had, and the last thing he wanted out was that he still loved Mercedes. Letting her go was hard enough, he didnât want his true feeling exposed because it was going to make it that much harder. He winced at the tears that were running down Mercedes face, he didnât want to hurt her and he didnât want to make her cry, yet the situation he created for them both was doing just that. He smiled sadly at Santana as she Comfort Mercedes. He was grateful that she wasnât badgering them too. He walked talked Mercedes running his hand down her back âIâm sorry⌠I-I didnât want this to happenâ he sighed cupping her face, before pulling her into a hug.
Chris: shook his head. âIâm not lecturing anyone. I havent even had the chance to say shit since this giant bomb has been dropped on us. Weâre your friends and yeah we all make mistakes but this isnt okay. I mean weâre not gonna sit around and act like this is okay right?â he asked his friends. âWhat the hell is going on with you two. This isnt like you.â
Mercedes: felt like dirt. She felt lower than dirt, she felt like the worst person alive. She hated that her friends now knew their secret and she hated that she was being shamed for it. She shook her head as Santana wiped her tears away. âMaybe this is me Chris. Maybe this is who I am and Iâm sorry it doesnt fit the perfect mold you so badly wanna put me in.â She winced when Sam walked over to her, soothingly rubbing her back. She suddenly didnt want him touching her or consoling her and gently pushed him away when he tried to hug her. âGo home Sam,â she whispered, meeting his eyes. âWe should all just⌠go home.â She wiped at her face and looked up at Santana. âThank you for showing me your home. Itâs beautiful,â she muttered, kissing her friendâs cheek quickly. She had nothing left to say to Chris or Brittany. They made their opinion obvious and as far as Sam went, she would talk to him later. Eventually. For right now, she needed to leave.
Brittany: didnât mean to make Sam and Mercedes feel bad. But at the same time she couldnât just act as if what they were doing was okay. âIâm sorry okay⌠I just donât understand why you guys think this is okay?â She said shaking her head at Santana âIâm not trying to lectu-â she trailed off shaking her head. She honestly wasnât mad at Mercedes, she was concerned for her because she had to know that she deserve better then. She hated the look that Mercedes was giving her and for the first time in their friendship she felt as if she didnât know Mercedes right now. âYeah I think we should leave.. itâs not like they are going to confide in us anywaysâŚâ she said looking at Mercedes. âI love you⌠I really do.. and Iâm not trying to judge you. I could never do that. But I do think you deserve a hell of a lot better then what he is giving you right now! Call me when you realize you deserve betterâ She said sadly. She turned to face Santana giving her a weak smile âSorry San⌠Iâll call you laterâ she said glancing over at Sam and Chris âChris Iâll meet you in the carâ she said turning to walk into the house to leave.
Santana: sighed softly âHey! I never said what they are doing is okay! But look at themâ she pointed between Sam and Mercedes âItâs pretty obvious that they are doing enough kicking themselves in the ass for all of you.â She shrugged. Donât get Santana wrong it wasnât okay to have any kind of affair, but at the same time, she didnât want to come down on them hard especially when Brittany and Chris was doing a pretty good job of it on their own. She sighed softly as Mercedes kissed her cheek âCedes please donât leave yetâ she begged her friend. She looked between Brittany and Mercedes hating to see two of her best friend at a crossroads right now. But she knew that once things settled they would be okay. She smiled sadly at Brittanyâs words âOkayâ she whispered watching Brittany leave. She crossed her arms as Mercedes dismissed Sam, seeing that it bugged him.
Sam: shook his head âI get this isnât right okay! But.. I guess we didnât expect to get this much judgement from you guys.â He said softly. He just wanted to be able to talk to his friends and tell people how he felt about all of this. But from the looks of it, he couldnât do that or at least he felt like he couldnât right now. He was taken back when Mercedes pushed him away, nodding her head at his words âokay..â he whispered, trying not to act hurt. He hated that Mercedes felt so bad or feeling like this was here fault because it wasnât. He took a step back, seeing Brittanyâs look before she walked away. Sam face Santana a small smile âThank you for inviting me.. I hope Iâm not losing your friendship tooâ he said leaning over to kiss her cheek âGood night San.. Chrisâ he said walking toward the back, to get to his car. Chris
Chris: rubbed his chin. âI wasnt judging you guys. Iâm worried. You see what affairs did to me. You saw what it did to Bee hell you saw what it did to Charice and you think you two will be the exception?â he scoffed. âBecause you wont be. Affairs always come out and they always hurt people.â He watched Sam walk away and glanced over at Santana. âLook I get that you think weâre all overreacting to this but youâve never been cheated on. You dont know what that feels like. And while I love Evans and Cedes, Iâm not gonna pretend like I understand why theyâre doing what theyâre doing because no matter what, theyâre hurting someone innocent. And thatâs the worst feeling in the world.â He gave Santana a quick hug and smiled sadly as he walked into the house to finally get into his car and go home.
