the checkup

summary: your regular doctor wasn’t in the day of your checkup, so you proceeded your appointment with his fill in…

cw: hospital sex

word count: 2.5k

you weren’t really the type that would go to get a check up every month, but you decided last week that it needed to change. you called the hospital and made an appointment for the man that’s been your doctor since you were in high school, dr. zeke, and made sure it was on a day you were absolutely free so you weren’t late.

when the day came you threw on some calm clothes before driving over to the nearby hospital for your checkup. as you parked your car, you put in one of your airpods and called your friend sasha on facetime since you knew it was a hit or miss when it came to waiting room time. “sup hoe” she mumbled, her phone set up at her vanity while she did her makeup. “sup biatch i’m finna check in real quick” you said before approaching the front desk. “hi what can i do for ya!” the overly happy lady at the desk asked. “m’here for my appointment. y/n l/n?” the woman gave you a small nod while searching you up on her computer to check you in. “you’re here for dr. zeke correct?” you nodded your head. “he’s not in today, but we can put you in for another doctor if that’s okay with you”

why would they not call you to let you know that? you would've been said no and not wasted gas to get here. you didn’t let the annoyance reach your face as you gave the lady a half smile before speaking. “and how long will be take?” the lady looked at her screen again? probably looking at how many other patients were under the replacement. “hmmm not long at all. there’s only one person ahead of you” you nodded your head before telling the lady you’ll take it. as you waited in your chair, you and sasha talked about random things to pass the time.

“yea he was real fine too. short hair, tattoos all over his body, strong arms, and the sexiest grills i ever seen on a man. and his accent? y/nnn i wanted to eat him furreal.” you giggled as you listened to your friend drool over this mysterious bartender she met a couple nights ago. “did you get his number or anything?” you asked. sasha gave you a “duhh” look before holding up a napkin with digits on it. “you know i had t’get that numberrrrr. can’t hold it in the camera too long tho. ion want you to try n steal em” you rolled your eyes as sasha threw the napkin back in her vanity drawer.

“miss l/n?” you lifted your head towards the lady peeking in the waiting room. “that’s me” you said, standing up before you approached the women. “aight sash i gotta go.” you mumbled before hanging up the phone. the woman had you follow her to one of the empty rooms, letting you sit down and get yourself situated before speaking. “okay so m’just gonna check your breathing, hearing, and sight. along with your blood pressure s’that okay?” you nodded your head, letting the women do her job without complaint. when she finished she grabbed her clipboard and headed out the room, telling you the doctor would be there shortly before exiting.

it was only about a five minute wait before your eyes were graced with a beautiful sight. dr. zeke has always been handsome to you, but the man before you right now quickly put him in the back of your mind. “hi, i’m dr. onyankopon jackson. you can call me dr. o, dr. j, dr. oj, it really don’t matter t’me as long as you comfortable.” this man had to be no more than two or three years older than you, fresh taper fade on his head, and shiny clear glasses that sat beautifully on his big nose. “miss? miss you alright” he said, genuine concern adorning his features as his dark brown eyes looked you over repeatedly.

you finally snapped out of your trance, sitting up straighter on the exam table as you gave the doctor a shy smile. “y-yea m’fine dr. o, just a little tired” you said, making his concern deepen as he began to approach you. “hmm, you been getting good sleep lately ms. l/n?” you shook your head as he pulled a small light from the front pocket of his lab coat, getting a good look at your pupils with the light before going to his clipboard to write something down. “you can call me y/n by the way. that’s what i’d prefer” he turned towards you and gave you a small smile. his pearly white teeth shining in the light of the room before he spoke. “okay y/n. i see you’re here for a checkup” he spoke as he read from the his clipboard. “you been having any pain anywhere?"

now where you really having any pains? no. you were healthy as a horse, but he didn’t know that and you didn’t want to leave too early, so ofc course you lied. “been having a little pain in my neck” you said, dragging it further by whimpering a little as you rubbed the back of your “pained” area. dr. o got right up from his seat, making his way to you before lightly touching your neck with his gloved hands. right at the bottom of his glove you thought you saw a hint of ink on his skin, but he was moving too fast for you to see it. “right here?” he asked, his deep voice already sending shivers down your spine. dr. o noticed this, smirking behind you as he continued feeling out the back of your neck for any lumps or bruises.

“mhmm right there” you breathed out. your voice accidentally letting your neediness slip from the feeling of his strong hands on your neck. you don’t know if he worked out or what, but the feeling of his hands were making you melt. “how this feel?” he mumbled before running two fingers from your neck all the way down your spine to your lower back. “feels like you got the wrong job. need to be a masseur.” a hearty chuckle rumbled from his broad chest as dr. o continued to run his fingers along your spine. “i’ll take it into consideration. would you book me?” his voice was like butter, so smooth and deep as he slowly moved his hands from your back. “definitely”

dr. o chuckled before making his way to the front of the exam table. “can you stand up f’me” you did as he said, getting down from your seat on the table before looking to him for your next directions. “try slowly turning your head from side t’side. if you feel any discomfort let me know.” you gave him a quiet “kay” before turning your neck from left to right then up and down. “i was gon say for you t’do that next, but you beat me too it. good girl, maybe you got the wrong job too” your stomach got butterflies from the praise. making you have to use all your strength to mask the fact that you were going crazy over this man. dr. o moved behind you touching your neck and back again to see if there were any changes from when you were sitting down to now.

“kay now bend over f’me. touch your toes if y’can” your palms were sweating now, making you have to repeatedly wipe them on your leggings before you bent over, touching your toes just like he said. you didn’t miss the small “damn” that left his mouth at the sight of your red thong showing through the thin fabric of your leggings. he once again had his big strong hands on your back, moving up towards your neck from behind you. as he reached the top of your neck you began to feel something hard poking your ass. “uhh doctor?” you said in a small voice, pulling dr. o out of his trance before he replied. “yes ma'am?”

“do you have something in your pocket?” his eyes slowly went from your ass to his pants, his hard on fighting the fabric of his black slacks just from the look of your body. he knew what he was about to do was very unprofessional and could probably cost him his job, but he just couldn’t resist any longer. “no” he said before pushing himself into you. his big gloved hands grabbing your hips to keep you from falling before the doctor began grinding his dick into your clothed pussy. a moan flew from your mouth at the contact, making your hand instantly fly to your mouth to keep from someone hearing. “y’know, ion think anything on your body hurts at all, but i can fix that. you want the doctor t’fix it?” as he spoke, your arousal started to flood your panties, quickly soaking them as well as your thin leggings. dr. o noticed this, smirking before slowly turning you around to face him.

“y-yes” you whispered, earning you a small kiss on the lips before he picked you up and placed you back on the table. “lay down f’me, there’s a spot ian get t’check yet” as soon as you laid down his gloved fingers were in the waistband of your leggings, yanking them down so he could get a better look at your panty clad pussy. “i jus know she’s pretty just from seeing her soak up like this” he mumbled before leaning down and giving it a sloppy kiss. the fabric of your panties getting even more soaked as he tongue kissed your clit through it. “o-ohh my goshh dr. o pleasee” you whimpered, your hands flying to his hair as you pushed his face deeper into you. he looked up at you, moving back so he can undo his belt with one hand and remove your soaked panties with the other. “you can call me ony princess. we more than well acquainted now” he said with a smirk before pulling your body towards him by your thighs. ony freed his dick from his boxers, the sight of it making your eyes widen. this man was packing. he smiled at your surprise, teasing you a little by rubbing it up and down your already sensitive pussy.

“i don’t have a condom” you leaned up towards him, your lips centimeters away from his as you caressed the nape of his neck. “put it in, we’re more than well acquainted now” your big brown eyes blown with lust as ony gave you a devilish grin. without another word he sunk deep into you, dick already filling you up and he was only halfway in. “you can take the whole thing can’t you ma?” you nodded your head, crashing your lips into his to muffle your moans as ony shoved the rest of his inches inside of you. he didn’t stop there, pounding you repeatedly without giving you any time to adjust, the stinging stretch of him bringing tears to your eyes.

“i know mama, but i’m a busy man. got another appointment in thirty minutes.” he continued to fuck you deeply, wrapping his gloved hand around your throat while having you suck the fingers of his other. the latex taste spreading all over your tongue as your drool began to drip from your lips to your shirt. “sloppy little mouth you got. wish i had enough time t'put it to work” you whined before slowly releasing his fingers with a pop, your pussy fluttering around his dick from the thought of him fucking your throat. “i can always come back for another check up” you said in a breathless tone, making ony smile before he quickly started picking you up by your thighs. “s’much as i would love that. i think i rather have you in my bed”

a smile would’ve graced your features if you werent getting fucked so good right now. you settled for a quick nod as ony continued to bounce your body and and down his dick. he gave you a few more strokes before putting you down. quickly turning you around and bending you over the table before sliding right back in. before you could scream, ony’s latex covered hand surrounded your lips. his palm muffling your cries as he quickly pounded away at your pussy. your clit rubbed repeatedly on the leather of the table as his strong thrusts would jerk your body back and forth. “you on the pill mama? don’t want you coming in here for different types of checkups” he said, smiling as he watched you quickly nod your head yes. you were eager for this man to cum in you. “good girl” ony groaned before picking up his pace, dick twitching repeatedly inside of you as he felt his release on the tip of his tongue. you were right there with him too, the double stimulation of your clit and g spot finally getting to you as you clenched tightly around his dick. “i feel it ma. let it out f’me” a shiver ran down your spine at his words, your final scream muffled from his hand as you shook and squirted all over his pants. the feeling of his cum filling you soon came after as the two of you caught your breath.

“you good?” he asked, turning your head towards him so he can check on you. there was a lazy smile on your lips as you looked up at him with glossy eyes. “feel so much better now, thank you doctor” ony mirrored your smile, his pretty teeth making your stomach do flips before he spoke “my pleasure”. as the two of you got dressed and fixed yourselves up, he removed his wet gloves and made sure to put that you were feeling great on his chart before handing you a paper to show that you’ve been taken care of. “aha! i knew you had tattoos. how old are you anyways.” you said as you looked at his ink filled hands.

ony looked up at you from his seat, smiling as he took off his lap coat and rolled up the sleeves of his dress shirt. there were tattoos running up and down his arms and even some peeking at you from his collar. “got some on my chest too, but you just gon have to come over to see, and i’m twenty six” like you thought, he was older than you. a smile graced your features as you limped to the door, giving the man an annoyed look as he laughed. “you look like you might actually need a doctor now” you rolled your eyes at his teasing before straightening yourself up and walking as normal as you could out of the room.

as you made it to your car, you realized that you didn’t ask for ony’s phone number. “fuck” you breathed as you glanced towards the paper he signed before giving you. ‘maybe if i search up his name i can find his insta or sum’ you thought as you picked up the paper only to find that you wont be needing to do any of that. there in big red ink read his name and number with a little note at the bottom.

ony 347-***-****

‘call me when you need another checkup’

Next up is the Alive For Centuries Tournament.

Submit a character that is at least 2 centuries old, along with where they come from and (if you want) propaganda through ask or submit a post.

SUBMISSIONS CLOSED

The character does have to be considered alive to count. I know I said otherwise a while back but I have since changed my mind. As a result ghost or vampire characters, to give a couple examples, no longer count for the purposes of this tournament.

Submissions will be closing on the 15th of September.

Top 4 submissions are the ones I submitted myself.

God. I. mm. I really want to like this series bc Ncuti and Millie are doing so well but mm. mmmm. I'll keep holding out until the end of the series. and also. RTD WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK WHY WOULD YOU LET THEM LESSEN THE EPISODE COUNT TO EIGHT??? EIGHT????? EIGHT????!!!!!!

SIR YOU WORKED WITH 13 EPISODE SERIES AND EVEN THEY HAD SOME ISSUES, AND NOW YOU HAVE FIVE LESS TO TELL A GOOD SERIES-LONG STORY.

Jodie's 13th doctor was held back by the cutting of episodes why the absolute holy fuck would you allow them to be cut any more. doing Ncuti's run dirty in ways that Jodie's had but worse!! WORSE!!! and if this is a wider BBC decision to cut the episodes and you wanted more, I'm sure you could have EASILY rallied tidal waves of support to pressure the BBC into giving Ncuti more episodes. Would I still have been a little bitter in that scenario that he would get the proper amount that Jodie lacked? Probably! But I'd have been happy for Ncuti! He deserves that much!

What the FUCK is the problem with longer episode runs across the board?? Short-form is great when it's done well for a limited series (and even then, "done well" is the key phrase) but it's not good for everything! Serialized TV shows need to fucking BREATHE.

I'm so sick and tired of the corset-compressed shows with 6 episodes, 8 episodes, 10 episodes, of things that WOULD have a decade ago gotten 15, 20, 22 episodes, or more! and would have thrived off of it!

Character arcs, story arcs, worldbuilding, all the Good Shit(tm) being shunted into little boxes and trimmed of any ounce of fat, but then the lean meat isn't even that good because it was rushed out by compressed writing rooms and overworked staff.

it's just one thing after another like, Moon Knight was amazing but an anemic SIX episodes. It was paced relatively fine, but it felt overall like a movie cut into six pieces rather than a TV show. And it was helped by everyone giving great performances and the origin story being pretty tight. Then Ms. Marvel REALLY suffered with her series ALSO being only six episodes! and her story felt a lot more like a teen coming of age fantasy that needed more room to breathe. Iman Vellani and her costars did a fantastic job, but I was left feeling like the story was missing pieces, and it needed. more. room. to. breathe.

Do I even need to mention Percy Jackson and NATLA? Both had young relatively green cast members give their all in a severely compressed version of a good base story, and we all are praying that the showrunners will learn from their mistakes.

Is this just "the way things are in streaming now"??? because for the most part, it sucks! and who the fuck decides "oh for streaming, we're just going to do super short seasons now" because they're stupid! Look at Delicious in Dungeon/Dungeon Meshi! We're getting weekly drops in an era of all-or-nothing, AND we're 20+ episodes in and still not at the end! And it's GREAT! DO MORE LIKE THAT!!

jfc sorry this turned into a rant but god damn I'm so upset Doctor Who got sucked into the gross streaming trend of fewer episodes too. it just ruins so many good stories.

~ Organisations ~ The Resistance

The Resistance are a loose association of supernaturals (and even a few non magicals). They are acting against the Council and save and support supernaturals who had been suffering from the actions of the Council and other acts of violence. They operate in secret and none of them, except the three witches, knows of everyone who is with them. So even if the Council get’s the grip on one of them, the others cannot be revealed.

The Council does not even see a connection between Dtui and the Resistance. They think she acted at her own behalf. They wish they could get lost of her but are too afraid of her powers.

Theme Song: No Boy, No Cry - Stance Punks (which is also opening no 6 from the Naruto Anime. MV is with scenes from the anime. Original Stance Punks MV is -> here)

Inofficial Leaders

The three Witches Dtui, Demon mentor of Kiyoshi and caretaker at the Temple in Mount Komorebi Francine (Witch), grandmother of Jeb and potion master) Ms Coombes (species unknown), teacher of the boys and involved in the rescue of Vlad, Ji Ho, Siawa and Jack. Partner of Dtui.)

Inofficial Members (since there are no ‘official’ members ;) The Boys: Vlad, Saiwa, Ji Ho, Jack, Jeb, Kiyoshi

Barfolomew (Mawg. Half man - half dog, he’s his own best friend ;). Owner of the ‘Space (Balls) Bar & Grill & ‘Residence’ in Copperdale where homeless and traumatized teenagers find a home. Saiwa, Vlad and Jack lived there for around two years and Ji Ho about half a year. Like Jack and Vlad, Barfolomew likes Star Wars a lot.

Noxeema Jackson, vampiric Drag Queen of Moonwood Mills and caretaker (and nurse) of the Wolves Of Letters Bunker there. Now caretaker of the Boys at the Belgraves Institute in Copperdale.

‘Beware of Greg!’ Lunvik (the Werewolf), former menace of Moonwood Mill, now PE teacher of the Boys at Belgraves Institute and partner of Noxeema (I named them Grexee ;)

LY, athena and Fel-IX (Droids) live at the STaCKS in San Myshuno and helped Saiwa, Jeb and Barfolomew when they tried to find out what happened with Vlad’s dead body.

The Doctor (species unknown) at the Gang Doctor’s Hospital. Since Supernaturals are not allowed at common hospitals, they get treated at the Gang Doctor’s Hospital. The Doctor (Droid) at the Clinic at the STaCKS in San Myshuno. Overly obsessed with Jeb’s eyes. Sells all kind of ingredients too. From Herbs to body parts ö.ö’

Hector (Crocodile). Friend of Ji Ho and informant. Like LY, you can find him on almost each of my lots (with a pool ;)

Claude René Duplantier Guidry (Ghost), owner of ‘Guidry’s Paranormal Investigations Bureau’. We haven’t heard from him since he left for Sulani to rescue Ji Ho’s brother.

Horatio ‘Bones’ McCoy (Skeleton). Roams the graveyard in Forgotten Hollow and opens the ‘Diner de los Muertos’ in San Myshuno once a year (The whole chapter is -> here)

Bonehilda (Skeleton) and Magenta (Ghost). Friends of Ms Coombes. They live at Saarburg and helped Vlad and Saiwa with information how to claim Ji Ho back after he got bitten by Genji.

The Magic Guitar of Toro (Magic Guitar). Relic in the sanctuary of the temple at Mt Komorerbi. Likes to witness the boys’ ‘romantic interactions’.

Aleki Mete and Enrico Wagner from ‘The Organisation’ in Strangerville. They tried to rescue kidnapped and tortured Saiwa and Jack along with 16 year old Jeb.

last but not least DEATH - he helped Jeb and Saiwa to find out what happened to Vlad after he had died.

Here’s an old photograph from my ‘The Family Business’ story! Resistance members from a paralel universe: fltr Giga/Saiwa, Greatuncle Stefan, Jack and Vlad (omg look at them!)

In my ‘Love Hurts’ story, adult Vlad’s Castle is a haven for supernatural refugees and adult Jack is headmaster of the Impossible University and provides education for supernaturals who are not allowed to schools from non magicals. (that was june 2018!)

[blindrapture]

SATURDAY JULY 2ND, 2011 (Rael's Exodus IV: EAT)

8:12 AM I dreamt of a wide ocean. Storm clouds flocked in, and then a finger rose from the sea. It extended, revealing a hand, and then an arm. It was an absolutely giant arm. Then I heard Genesis playing. The arm became a shoulder, and something else was about to rise out of the water when I woke up. I woke up to “The Fountain of Salmacis.”

8:20 AM “Good morning, passengers. This is your captain speaking. We’re over halfway across the Atlantic, making great progress, should be touching down on New Jersey soil on Monday. “Now, uh.. it seems that a lot of you are gone. Well, don’t worry! We’ll pull through this, the rest of you, and we’ll survive. In the meantime, we’ve got some fantastic music here. Still in Yates’ collection, and uh.. well, it’s really growing on me! It’s some great stuff. That was Nursery Cryme, Genesis, for the second time. And uh.. I think we’ll give this one here a try. Meddle, by.. Pink Floyd! “So yes, smooth sailing, all that. Stay alive! Fitzgerald out.”

9:02 AM Donnie’s up. We’re gonna go get some breakfast.

9:14 AM There’s a kid here in the hall. That’s Miss DeNumante’s kid. Brian’s his name, I think. He seems.. quiet. Is he alright?

9:15 AM Donnie’s taking care of him. She’s taking him with us.

9:21 AM Bacon and eggs for breakfast! Yum.

9:30 AM Ms. Desmond walked by the door. I asked Donnie if she can leave Brian here for a bit. She’s getting Chef Gusteau to look after him for us.

9:33 AM Where is Ms. Desmond going?

9:34 AM Donnie’s caught up. She scared me. >.>

9:35 AM Terry’s gone in a circle. She’s going into the dining room. ..Brian’s staring at her. He’s following her with his eyes.

9:36 AM WHOA HEY HEY HEY OH GOD TIGER STRIPES SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!

9:37 AM She got away. She killed Chef Gusteau, and she got away with it. Goddammit! Motherefsdfjfuckeffsdi9gis, everyone’s dying. But you should have seen her. She picked Zach up and just freaking threw him at a wall, fucking superhuman strength. Then she grabbed a knife. My god, the Rake and Masky are dead, but we’ve got even bigger problems.

9:50 AM “Uh.. attention, passengers? Captain speaking. I’ve just been informed that.. the ship’s chef, Zach Gusteau, is.. dead. “Hm. Maybe there’s really a problem going on. Could everyone gather in the bridge? Everyone that’s alive, that is. We’re gonna have a meeting and a headcount. In the meantime, stay alive. Fitzgerald out.”

10:44 AM We did the headcount. Passenger-wise, there’s Richard and Meredith Burgandy (who freaked out over their door being kicked down, but didn’t mention any papers), Mister and Missus Finch and Omar (Mister and Omar were quiet and stuck together; Missus looks highly stressed and lost in thought), Mister and Missus Haggard (stayed away from each other the whole time, refused to acknowledge each other’s existence), Mister and Missus Tickrand (said not a word), and Brian DeNumante (said not a word). And of course, Jordan and DonDonnie and Jordan. Crew-wise, there’s Captain Jonathan Fitzgerald and Doctor Jackson. That’s it. Ms. Terry Desmond was absent. We counted fourteen people left. Nearly half the boat’s dead. o_o People wanted to know what’s going on. Captain Fitzgerald explained that there were two deadly serial killers on-board, but they have both been dispatched. So now there’s “nothing to worry about.” People are still worried. I don’t blame ‘em!

11:03 AM ..Doctor Jackson’s wait Mister Finch is leading Doctor Jackson to the deck. Omar’s with them. I’m gonna follow them this time.

11:08 AM ..o_____o They threw him overboard! They threw him overboard! What the ffff

11:09 AM And now they’re helping him back up. And.. now he’s quiet. HELLO I WAS JUST LEAVING

11:11 AM I WISH I CAN MAKE IT BACK TO MY ROOM

11:23 AM Oh hi Donnie, please may I have a cuddle, thank you.

11:25 AM We’ve clearly got some sort of.. I dunno, conspiracy or something going on among certain passengers. Except it���s an apocalyptic conspiracy of monsters and stuff. God, I don’t know. I really don’t, journal. I’m still tired. I mean, I’ve been sleeping a lot lately, but I just.. sometimes I don’t want to wake up at all, y’know? I just wanna be back in America. I wanna get off this ship alive. ._.;

11:58 AM Door knocking. o_e ..it’s the Haggards.

11:59 AM They’ve decided that the safest way to make it through this trip alive would be to stick together. They want us to come with them and get all the other passengers together for the rest of the trip. That’s the smartest plan I’ve heard yet.

12:14 PM The Burgandys agreed to stick with us.

12:19 PM ..I saw something. Someone.

12:20 PM TERRY She’s gone where is she what’s she planning?

12:21 PM Wherever she is, she’s following us. o_e

12:24 PM FCN MFS MISSUS FINCH, fucking no, that’s just no c’mon where did she even get a gun She k TERRY GODDAMMIT NO DAMMIT GETB AK Goddammit. I can’t help anyone. WAIT WAHT THFUFKC HOLY FCUK OH MY GOD WINGS

1:02 PM First of all, Missus Finch is dead. Looked to be a suicide, but what difference does it make at this point? Ms. Desmond struck again. This time, she got both of the Haggards. She was gonna get more of us, but then Mister Finch stepped in and knocked her to the ground. Then he >_< His back it ripped open All this blood everywhere but it wasn’t blood It was water D: And out of his back extended two giant wings of flesh and pulsating organs. He’s a fucking Flying Zombie, somehow he’s augvjsdvaI junfodsi She ran then she retreated The Burgandys ran too. Fast. Donnie and I are back in our own room. It’s the safest we’ve been just shut up, gah. Brian’s okay. He is. But will we be? After long enough? >.<

3:39 PM Fell asleep. Dreamt of water. Water. More water. My watery grave. …fuck it, I’m going back to it.

5:25 PM Woke up to banging on door.

5:46 PM It’s Mister Finch and Omar. “Follow You Follow Me.” That’s.. what Mister Finch said. Then they left. ..I’m.. gonna follow them.

5:47 PM Donnie’s coming too. Mostly because Brian ran right out the door and is following the others like we are.

6:01 PM It’s the deck. ..Mister Finch, Omar, Brian, Mister and Missus Tickrand, and Doctor Jackson are gathered here. Looking at me blankly. “Rael, it appears to be time to tell you about my private matter.” I asked why everyone else is here. They all said “I’m the only one here.” At the same time. I hear splashes from below. What have I gotten myself into. Mister Finch steps forward. “In madness, you dwell, Rael. Welcome to the End Complete.” The.. what. "You like that style of music, don't you? You and your friend. It gets your attention. I realize this may be a lot to bear, but— as much as I would rather not admit it— I need.. another pair of eyes." I.. but who? Who are you? “Oh, must you ask such questions? ..I suppose, yes, you must. Ordinarily I would relish the challenge of placing myself within your words, and perhaps it would benefit me to consult with the others on the ways they would recommend, but this is a strange time for all of us. I will try to be brief.

"If you are to identify me, and not any of my bodies, I believe the accepted nomenclature coined by humans is the Evolutionary Adverse Trigger, or, pleasingly, EAT. In fact, I would insist upon EAT, rather than the former. You humans are better at coming up with acronyms than you are at scientific names. How have you not yet figured out the necessity of the aesthetic consideration in functional, scientific contexts? You do not separate the mind and the body, and you do not separate the aesthetic from the functional. It's just a matter of efficient communication." Uh. Okay. o___o; EAT. Hi.. EAT. "I digress. I am not used to the habit of direct conversation with humans. Are we done with the matter of identity? I would like to proceed." Yeah. Sorry. "Please. You've noticed the progressive instability of our environment?" The.. ship? "The Earth." Oh. The apocalypse thing. "What do you know of the reason?" donnie "Rapture is coming." "Yes. Rapture. Do you know anything of Rapture?" Religion? Something about rabbit holes and doors. And INDISEN. "Going down the list, firstly, this has nothing to do with any Earthly religion, past or present. Second is the dDoors. That's capital-D, journal-keeper." Y-yes, got it. o: "You've read the papers I helped you obtain?" Yes. “So you’ve made the connection between ‘rabbit holes’ and Doors." Uh! looking at donnie she's looking back at me Um! No, EAT. "Well, Rael, they're one and the same. The Doors are the 'rabbit holes.' And the Doors are the key to Rapture, the key to identifying, navigating, and, perhaps, addressing Rapture."

donnie "Addressing? So you're.. 'against' Rapture?" "You have to ask? Understand: No living thing on Earth wants Rapture. Not even we Fears want Rapture." ..'Fears?' "Capital F, make sure you get that. It's a term that has stuck among my peers. They seem to like it. I believe a human invented the term for us first, as throughout your history we have inspired your storytelling, in fact your drive for abstraction— itself born from storytelling— comes from us. As storytelling, and by extension verbal communication, has trended in many directions over hundreds of thousands of years, so too have your names for us. And, as horror is your culture's current storytelling drive, it was only natural that your new name for us would stem from horror. Hence, 'Fear,' as I understand it." Uh....… "You used to call us 'gods.'" .… oh god. "Quite." donnie "Was the Harlequin a g-- a Fear?"

"Yes. And we know what you two did to her. You are attracting attention, as humans aren't normally known for dealing such decisive action to us— though, again, these are special circumstances. Most of my peers will want to get a look at you, and indeed some are already planning to. I hope, for your sakes, that they will decide you are a curiosity rather than an X factor. An X factor makes plans interesting. You do not want to make their plans interesting." ...>___<;; "..of course, some of us aspire for nothing less than to be made curious, and I count myself among those ranks. It might even be in my best interests to keep the two of you... alive. You have inertia. Your story is underway. You have— in fact, you are— an opportunity to test some theories and find out how some uncertainties work. You can help me learn of the Indisen if you're careful." R-right! Indisen! Let's talk about them! "The Indisen are another X factor, albeit one that pose a threat to me." Why are they called 'Indisen?' "Oh, I made the term. It stands for Individualistic Sentience. I do not think I handled the aesthetic value of the terms as well as the Genera did with mine…" Sorry, individualistic sentience? What does that mean? all the bodies are looking out at the sea. Pausing. "I want you to first understand that I have many bodies." We're looking at them, yes. "No, you are looking at a group of them. This one you are specifically focused on, formerly Edward Finch, is but one of thousands." o_______o;;;;

"These days, my bodies are known as Camper. We are the Camper. EAT is the Camper, and the Camper are EAT, being of knowledge." they all said that at once. I should have expected it, but, it's still disconcerting. "And then the Indisen are Camper who.. are no longer a part of me. This was not possible until May 21st. On that day, I lost all sense of a single body. Upon investigation, I found that body, that Camper, acting of its own will. Hence: Individualistic Sentience." ...so Ms. Desmond… "The body formerly known as Terry Desmond is no longer a human. She became me. Then, not that long ago, she, too, became detached from me. The Indisen are dangerous, Rael. They're fighting back, against me, and against bystanders. I do not observe discrimination in their hostility, not predictably so anyway. They're acting very much like cornered animals, but with the very real potential to be as intelligent and cunning as any of you." ..shit. okay. And you say they arrived on May 21st? "The first day of red sky, yes. So I am led to believe they are directly connected to Zan— the.. apocalypse." Huh? "Never you mind. I still have uncertainties and suspicions. As far as facts are concerned, I've told you all you need to know. Now we come to the end of our discussion, and I must ask that you pay close attention to the Indisen from now on, wherever you should meet them. More than that, do your best to stay alive, won't you? If you were of sufficient interest to the Harlequin, you will be of interest to me, and I like to be interested."

....… .....… Okay!! .....… .....… Wait, we're turning to leave now, but actually, I should probably ask you something. "Please, ask." There's a festival in the rabb the Doors, a music festival, with a crowd of bodies that.. remind me of you. And it's. It's literally called the Camper Festival. "…" Is this.. your thing? "You've managed to give me completely new, pertinent,information after a single conversation. I am processing the information, and I am processing the fact that you have volunteered it." So. You didn't even know about it? o_o "I didn't." ... "You've had a long journey. I suggest you return to your rooms and wait for sleep."

11:00 PM six

(Attached: “And there you have it, there’s the abstract equation herself. ‘Being of knowledge,’ that’s very much her kind of self-description. Not at all accurate, but Salmacis rarely tries to be when it comes to herself. If I had to wager a guess, I’d say that’s a side effect of never really having a singular body to identify with. Salmacis is, at all times, many bodies and one mind. Always getting more bodies, and with the apocalypse losing them. Depersonalization is probably second-nature to her. Salmacis is, you could say, 'classically’ minded. It doesn’t believe in ruling through fear, though don’t let that fool you into thinking it’ll never go out of her way to intentionally scar a person for life. It’ll just do it for the sake of.. curiosity. To see what happens. Never stand in her way, never threaten her, and never threaten her planet. You’ll find out why some call her EAT. Then you might get to join her mind, and you’ll never worry about your problems ever again. You’ll never feel again. You’ll never do anything of your own will, for you will no longer have a will, or rather you’ll come to terms with the idea that perhaps none of us ever had one to begin with.”)

Imaginary Monsters

Part One: Childhood Dreams

Ms. Grace had thirteen four year-old in her current preschool class. They learned letters and numbers, how to write their names, how to share and form emotional connections, and how to hunt monsters.

Each day when they ventured out to the playground, they would fight the battles that they believed to be only a game of pretend. The imaginary foes that were out of their nightmares, and only they had the power to save everyone else from the terror.

Quinn was leading the charge. At four years old, she already knew that she was born to be the leader, without her in charge they would never succeed. “Alex, Chuyu, handle the shadow by the fence.”

They saw the form crawling over the wood and ran to engage. Alex pictured himself holding a sword of light. He could feel the metal in his hand. Feel the heat pour off the blade. But it was all in his head right? They were all just children.

Chuyu with a quiet determination called upon her power, hands and eyes ignited with a matching glow. With laser precision she was able to shoot fire from her eyes, and flowed up with a strike from each of her hands.

Alex swung his sword. Striking before the shadow could reform. Ending the creatures with the magic of his burning light.

They celebrated their victory, jumping up and down as they cheered the wonders of their skills.

“Jackson go help Jennifer, she fell off the slide.” Quinn called, seeing her classmate fallen to the ground and the shadows closing in on the girl.

Quinn climbed to the top of the climber. Balancing on the edge. The shadow was taking form in front of her. She saw the horns, the spiked tail, the body dividing into two, and the head splitting apart. With no hesitation she closed her hands into fists and jumped off. Swinging her arms back she was charging up power for her strike. Landing on the partially corporal shadow, she punched the creature. Breaking him apart as she made her way down to the ground.

Landing in a superhero pose, she took in the scene around her. All of her friends were giving it their all they had, yet somehow there were more shadows than they had ever seen. She glanced towards the clock hanging on the wall, only five minutes left. They had five more minutes on the playground, five more minutes to save the school and maybe the whole world from the nightmares that were able to escape.

They could not fail. They were the ones to see the shadows, and they had to protect everyone else from the invading nightmares. It was all on them.

Quinn saw her friends fighting with everything that they had. Working together, being the force that they needed to be. She hoped it was enough.

There was Noah and Victor working together to make the floor turn into lava. Standing on the climber, pushing their will into the space below. Safe off the ground, and going to burn away the shadows that managed to find them.

Xueqi was holding down the tunnel. Trapping the shadows inside. Forcing them to disappear, for if there was no light, the shadows would cease to be.

Jacob was everywhere he needed to be, being the doctor to save all of his friends. Running all over the playground, whenever someone stumbled or got the slightest hint at being hurt. Passing along his healing magic, knowing they all had to keep going.

The shadow of the climber started to move. Taking form, becoming more solid. The creature that had hunted their nightmares for as long as they could remember: the claws as sharp as scissors, the teeth as numerous as the stars, the creature as large as the school, Scary Larry.

They could not fight Scary Larry. They were children, and he was the eternal monster powered by their fear.

All of the students locked eyes with each other. Understanding the severity of the situation.

Luca was the first to move, running to the center of the playground, holding his hands out to his side waiting for his friends to join in. Arissa came to his side, joining hands.

Luca. Arissa. Chuyu. Alex. Noah. Victor. Jacob. Xuieq. Jennifer. Jackson. Quinn. Lucas. Leia. One by one, they all came together, forming the circle that will banish Scary Larry once and for all.

Each child ignited in the color of their power. Channeling their energies for a common goal.

Teal. Fuchsia. Magenta. Turquoise. Orange. Cobalt. Lime. Pink. Violet. Maroon. Coral. Scarlet. Lilac. The rainbow coming together. Individuality united for the common goal. Sending all that they had into the center of the circle. Mixing to form the blinding white light that formed in the middle of Scary Larry. Burning him away. Erasing him from existence. The children had the power, they were no longer afraid of those kinds of nightmares.

Ms. Grace clapped her hands, calling the attention of her students. “Time to line up.”

The students dropped each other’s hands. Running over to go pick up their coats and water bottles. Taking on the jobs of the classroom.

Quinn was in front, as she was the line leader for the day. With Alex and Arissa behind her for the door holders. Chuyu was holding the back pack with the first aid kit. All of them forming one line. Ready to follow their teacher into the building for them to get ready for lunch.

A battle known by no one else had been won. Even if they would not get the glory, they were still going to celebrate. The world was saved, and they were heroes, that was what mattered after all.

Tidbit Tuesday

Thanks for the tag @actualalligator

This is a look into the eventual sequel to “But I’m An Avery”. When Mark and Jackson’s dynamic is a bit more defined.

***

Derek chuckles and claps Mark on the back as they enter the daycare lobby. Erica happily checks their IDs. Even though both are prominent figures in the hospital, they are still required to show proof. It gives Mark a sense of security when it comes to his little boy.

“Long days?” She asks as she compares Derek’s to the information on the screen.

“Very,” Derek reports. “We had a combined surgery that lasted 8 hours.”

“Oh, you both must be exhausted,” Erica says as she passes back Derek’s ID and then turns to the chief of plastics.

Mark nods and hands over his license. “I can’t wait to get home and just cuddle with my Jack Attack.”

Derek nods in agreement. Once Erica has confirmed Mark is really Mark, the two doctors head back to the room. There aren’t as many Littles now, given it’s nearly 6. Most are picked up by the non-doctor caregiver. But in Mark’s case, he’s a single parent. And Meredith’s still on the clock until 10. Daycare’s only open until 8.

It doesn’t take long for Alex to drop his toy truck and bolt for his dad. He nearly knocks him over in a hug. Derek is quick to adjust himself and cuddle him close.

“Whoa there, Tiger.”

“Missed you!”

“I missed you too.”

As Derek kisses all over his face, Mark looks around. There’s no sign of Jackson. He peeks his head into the nursery window. Empty.

His heartbeat picks up as his eyes dart around the room. It takes him way too long to find a teacher. It’s not Ms. Courtney as expected, but instead a woman Mark has never seen before with a name badge that reads “Ms. Polly”. Mark races over to her.

“Where’s Jackson?”

Polly tilts her head. “Who?”

Mark grits his teeth. “Dr. Jackson Sloan. My son. Where the hell is he?!”

Polly’s green eyes grow wide. She begins sputtering. “I…I don’t know.”

Mark’s entire world sinks in.

***

Gonna leave this a no pressure open tag!

37 - The Mikaelson Grandchild

Part 38

Family is More than Blood

@secretdreamlandmentality

I wasn’t sure what time it was. I just knew that it must be really late since the kids are all asleep in their bedrooms of the mansion. Walking through the hallway I halted in my tracks outside the younger one's door. Rapunzel and Charming were each asleep in their own separate cribs. “They sure are far more adorable when they’re asleep.”

“Hey, what are you doing up?” Whipping my head around I saw Klaus standing behind me with no shirt on and just some shorts on.

He responded by wrapping his arms around my waist from behind. “I was enjoying a restful night’s sleep until I went and found my wife’s side of the bed empty. Would you care to tell me why you’re up watching them?”

“I just couldn't sleep. With the girls now adults and Henrik growing up so fast I don't want to miss any moments with them.” I answered his question.

Klaus nodded, resting his chin on my shoulder closely watching them sleep too. He didn't have to admit it for his wife to know that he would carry them around all day if he could. He would do everything in his power to make sure he got to watch his younger kids grow up unlike how things happened with the triplets. “I know why you're watching them, Rae. I don't want to lose any time with them.”

“It's not just that, Nik.” Spinning around on my feet I met his gaze.

He lowered his gaze to mine. “Then what else is troubling you?”

“What if I can’t be there for them like I was with Henrik and the girls. I mean now we are running an entire school for supernatural creatures. I just am afraid that this will consume my time and I’ll miss out on things.” I admit to him weakly.

Klaus grabs my shoulders gently. “Raelyn, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You are nothing but the best mother in the world.”

“You really feel that way?” I asked him through tears that had slipped down my face.

He nodded his head. “Yes I 100% feel that way. You are a wonderful mother and headmistress.”

“Thank you, Nik. I just don’t want to miss out on the big moments in any of our children's lives.” I laid my head on his chest staring at my sleeping twin babies.

He kissed the crown of my heart, bending my forehead down so he could do so. “You’re welcome, Rae.” He draped one arm over my shoulder looking at his sleeping kids.

Rapunzel rolled over on her side and Charming was sucking on his thumb. I intertwined my freehand with my husband's knowing that no matter what we wouldn’t let anyone keep us from our kids ever again. We had gone through hell and back for one another. Meaning we would do anything to see our children grow up with us by their sides.

Rushing through the hospital doors every single member of the Mikaelson family was in a panic over Alina’s baby coming. None of us thought it would happen tonight. I rushed forward to the front desk seeing a nurse sitting there. “Excuse me, we need a doctor. My daughter is going into labor.”

“We will try and get a doctor right away. But it is very late at night.” She explained.

Klaus moved around me grabbing the woman by her shirt compelling her. “You will get the best doctor around immediately and you will put great care in my daughter and the baby she is about to deliver!”

The nurse scrambled out of the desk leaving us alone. It took only a few minutes before we were given a room. Jackson helped Alina up into the bed and she winced holding her stomach meaning the contractions had started. “Ugh! How bad was it for you mom?”

“Oh baby…uh my experience involved witches trying to sacrifice you all for your magic.” I crossed my arms over my chest leaning in the doorway. Klaus had the babies in the lobby with Henrik. My brother and Hayley had been called too.

Alina winced, throwing her head back against the pillows. “Oh God!”

“Ms. Keener, I was notified by the nurse. And she said you are almost ready to push.” A red headed nurse came in the room holding a chart.

Jackson held onto his wife's hand. “How bad will it be?”

“Given that it's her first child I would say it might not be very comfortable. Now we need to talk about who are the two going to be in the room with you?” The nurse looked around the room seeing me, Missy, Hope and Jackson all in the room.

Alina croaked through some tears. “Mom…can it be you and my sisters?”

“Oh ma'am we don't normally allow-”

I cut the nurse off short, grabbing her by the shoulder compelling her. “You aren't going to worry about this. Now go get the doctor please.”

“I'll wait in the hallway with your dad if that’s okay?” Jackson asked his wife, kissing Alina’s forehead after she nodded yes in agreement.

He left the room at the same time the doctor came in with the nurses. She was sat in the position on the bed and I had tied her hair up in a bun so it wasn’t in her way. Missy and Hope were on either side of her bed and I stood by Hope. “Okay, you're ready to push now Mrs. Keener.” The doctor declared sitting at the end of the bed.

“Lina, you're gonna be okay and so is the baby.” I attempted to reassure her by being able to hear the infant heartbeat inside of her.

The contractions started coming closer together when she gave some of her first few pushes. My heart started banging against my chest and I already felt tired. "It's starting to come out, Alina. Just a few more big pushes."

Hope and Missy winced sharply when she squeezed their hands even tighter. I moved closer to her on the bed reaching out to touch her for comfort knowing this had to be hard. Sweat was sticking to her forehead. "I can't do this, mom…I can’t!"

“Yes you can, sweetheart.” I touched her arm and I saw my hand turning red.

Alina winced. “Agh! Mom.” I shut my eyes tightly seeing a bad memory flash through my mind.

Shutting my eyes tightly I revealed my fangs out from inside my mouth slamming my hands on the wooden floor needing to feel the magic in my blood. “Magia tollux de terras…Magia tollux de terras….Magia tollux de terras!”

I tried to fight against her but her hands turned red siphoning my strength away from me. “Valerie, let me go…aaagh!” I moaned in pain collapsing to the wooden floor in front of the other heretic.

“Ah Alina, I'm sorry.” I yanked my hand away and stepped back against the wall beginning to feel uneasy.

She bared my teeth doing one final push that took the last of her energy that she had left. An infant's cry filled the room where she threw her head back onto the pillows. Gulping a lump down my throat I slowly controlled my breathing while the nurse wrapped the baby in a blanket handing them to my daughter. "Congratulations, you have a baby boy. Have you thought of a name?"

“We have but..I want Jack in here before I say the name.” Alina cradled the baby against her chest.

The nurse nodded, stepping out of the room. “I'll go get them.” She came back in with Jackson and the others.

“Alina, are you okay?” Jackson immediately went over to her, covering his face with his hands letting some tears slip out. “Oh my god..what's his name?”

“Xavier Thor Keener.” Alina declared with a smile on her face.

Klaus stands in the doorway he went to touch me. He reaches down, intertwining my hand with his. “Raelyn -ah!” He winced where I moved my gaze down quickly where I could see our hands were red together.

“Nik genius! I'm sorry, I'm sorry.” I apologized, yanking my hand away from his slowly walking backwards away from him in the hallway. “I…I should go.”

Klaus turned on his feet sensing that something wasn't right with me at this moment. “Rae, what’s wrong, love?”

“I just need to go now…” I spun on my feet vamping down the hallway until I was outside in the parking lot. Pressing my hands on the hood of the car I felt a tightening in my chest. “No, no, no. You're stronger than this….The Hollow is gone. You can control yourself.”

Someone vamped behind me and I didn't need to turn around to know who it was. “Raelyn, what the hell was that back there?”

“I didn't mean to hurt you…I didn't mean to hurt Alina either. I…I just needed some air so you can go back inside and see our grandchild. I'll be right back in there.” Holding my hands up I croaked through tears keeping a distance from my own husband.

He stepped forward sensing that I wasn't in my right mind at the moment. “Look, you're just overwhelmed. You'll be fine when you go in there and see our grandson.”

“No! Klaus, I can’t be around people right now. I’m gonna go back to the mansion and just tell Alina I’m sorry for leaving early.” I sniffed through some more tears vamping away from the parking lot before he could say anything. Klaus just stared off in the distance of where his wife was where he ran his hands through his hair, trying to process everything.

I wasn’t sure what time it was or how long it had been since I had been home back in the mansion. Walking through the mansion I went downstairs into the basement knowing what I needed was done there. Since we had young kids I didn’t feel it was safe to have many weapons around for the twins sake. Opening the cabinet door I wasn’t sure what made me keep it, maybe it was because I always thought that I would get my revenge on Kai sooner. “Fructose ispiritus…” I mumbled under my breath clutching the hunting knife in both hands feeling my magic slipping away into the blade.

“Raelyn!” Whipping my head around I stumbled into the shelves seeing my husband standing on the wooden steps. “Bloody hell what are you doing down here?”

I lowered the knife down to just my right hand changing the subject. “How’s our daughter and grandson?”

“They’re fine. Have to stay in the hospital for a couple of days. Now why do you have a knife and where did you find it?” He asked me coming closer until we were almost chest to chest.

I held onto the blade tightly lifting it up in my hands seeing my reflection in it. “It’s the knife Kai stabbed Jo with. The same hunting knife that contained her magic until the night they merged again.”

“What did you do?” Klaus questioned.

“I put my magic away for safe keeping. I know that we defeated the Hollow but I am not in my right mind, Nik. I…I accidentally siphoned from you and Alina without even realizing it. I can’t trust myself right now especially with magic. So…I put it away in here.” I clutched the knife again laying it down on the freezer beside me brushing past my husband.

Klaus went to grab my arm but I vamped away from him to the top of the stairs knowing he would try and convince me otherwise that I was fine when I knew that I wasn’t at the moment. “Rae…wait a second.”

“My magic will only come out of the knife when I willingly want it too. This is my decision, Klaus and you can’t change my mind.” I left him there without another word and his eyes fell on the knife beside him.

More MSB headcanons

(with some Doctor Who and other sci-fi)

Dorothy Ann is named after Dorothy Catherine "D.C." Fontana, one of the writers for Star Trek. Still have to figure out where the "Ann" comes from.

Her book bag is bigger on the inside-- just like the TARDIS. This is how she always has just the right book for any occasion.

D.A. and Carlos have met the Doctor a few times-- the first few times, they met him in his tenth regeneration, and then years later, they met the Thirteenth Doctor.

They're the only two kids in the Science Squad* to go toe-to-toe with the Daleks.

*the Science Squad is what I'll be calling Ms. Frizzle's class in this post. This includes: Arnold, Ralphie, Keesha, Phoebe, Carlos, Tim, Wanda, and Dorothy Ann-- as well as Mikey and Jyoti (and occasionally Janet, on the rare occasion she isn't being a pain.)

About Walkerville and its residents: They are INCREDIBLY chill with weird stuff happening in their town.

To recap a few of the things that have canonically happened:

There is an ancient house/museum that may or may not have a resident ghost. Said house is also used as a concert hall.

One time a talk show host tried to invent Walkerville's version of the Loch Ness Monster.

There was also that one time when all the recycled material turned back into garbage, in part thanks to Wanda.

There's a bus/spaceship mechanic who lives out in the middle of nowhere and has aliens as customers.

In most places, people would either be very excited or very freaked out about aliens coming to visit. Not in Walkerville. Whenever aliens come there, the residents (especially older folk) just go, "Welp, it's them aliens again," and pull up a chair. Kind of like how Midwesterners will sit outside watching thunderstorms and tornadoes.

Other headcanons:

This is a fairly popular one, but Ms. Frizzle is definitely a Time Lady and her bus is her TARDIS.

She also gave D.A. her bigger-on-the-inside book bag.

For the sole purpose of crossovers, my version of the MSB-verse also exists in the Percy Jackson universe.

Almost all of the kids in the science squad are Greek demigods, and attend Camp Half-Blood during the summer.

Arnold is the only one who's 100 percent mortal human. Unlike the others, he's not as used to crazy adventures and field trips at first.

Ralphie: Son of Apollo

Keesha: Daughter of Epithron (the spirit of shrewdness, carefulness, and thoughtfulness)

Phoebe: Daughter of Demeter

Carlos and Mikey: Sons of Athena

Tim: Son of Hephaestus

Wanda: Daughter of Hermes

Dorothy Ann: Daughter of Urania (the Muse of Astronomy)

A fresh layer of snow fell overnight, and the temps had fallen into the low thirties. You took a pic and sent it to Jake. 'Fresh snow and cold temps this morning. Wish you were next to me keeping me warm.'

You get dressed for work, even though you were going to court. You wore long underwear under your khaki 5.11 cargo pants, long sleeve dark green DNR shirt and black winter work boots. You buckled your black duty belt and strapped your leg holster around your right leg as you walked into your office and into the closet. There you walked to your steel gun cabinet, typed in the code to open it and too out your .45 Glock 21. You secured your Glock in your leg holster and placed your two spare magazines on your bullet proof vest. The magazine you used in your Glock was out in your truck along with your shot gun and rifle. You tried not to have loaded weapons around Christian.

You secured your gun safe, grabbed your vest, walked out of the closet and headed to the kitchen where Christian sat in his highchair eating breakfast with Montgomery.

"Thank you, Montgomery."

"It's no problem, Doctor. Miss Abigail deserves a vacation."

You look at him. "You know, you're welcome to take a vacation too."

"Doctor. You and Christian are the only family I have."

You nod understandingly as you place your vest on the back of the kitchen bar char and walk over to Christian in the highchair. "You behave for Montgomery."

"Gumree," Christian repeats as he stuffs his mouth with toast, and you kiss his forehead.

You grab your winter DNR coat and put it on along with your beanie hat. You grab your vest off of the chair. "I'm not sure when I'll be home. I'm even afraid to see my desk."

"No worries. We'll be okay."

"Okay. See you guys later. Love you, C.J." You blow Christian a kiss.

"Lub you, Mommy." Chrisitan blows you a kiss back.

You walk to the mudroom that led to the garage.

Judge Arnold Krawczak looked at his watch from his bench as you and Whitaker sat behind the attorney table to the right of the judge's bench.

"I'll give them five more..." Judge Krawczak stopped as the doors to the courtroom opened.

Celine walked behind two attorneys. Dressed as though she was a movie star from Hollywood.

"We apologize, Your Honor," the attorney dressed in the gray suit said as they got behind the other attorney's desk. "Traffic was horrendous!"

Judge Krawczak raised an eyebrow quizzically along with you and Mr. Whitaker.

"Mister...?"

"Attorney Nathan Crawley and Attorney Justin Dodge, Your Honor."

You and Whitaker looked at each other.

"Mister Crawly, let's get this started since you've already waisted 10 minutes of my morning."

"Yes, Your Honor." He opened his briefcase and took out some papers. "We're here to contest the restraining order Mrs. Y/N Astor has placed on Ms. Celine Astor-Davenport."

Whitaker stood up and cleared his throat. "Excuse me, Your Honor. My client's name is Doctor Y/N Astor. As of Wednesday, last week, it's Doctor Y/N Astor-Seresin or Doctor Y/N Seresin. She deserves that respect."

"Agreed. She will be addressed as such."

Celine's attorney glared at her, and she just shrugged.

"Again, I apologize, Your Honor." He paused. "We're here to contest the restraining order Doctor Y/N Astor-Seresin placed on my client, Celine Astor-Davenport. We're also contesting the marriage."

Judge Krawczak sighed. "Let's start with the restraining order."

"Christian Astor Junior is Mrs. Astor-Davenport's only grandchild. She has the right to see her only grandchild."

"Agreed. Mr. Whitaker?"

"We also agree, Your Honor, but supervised. Per the contract Christian Astor and Charles Astor left behind, Mrs. Astor-Davenport cannot be trusted."

"I object, Your Honor!" Crawley intejected.

"Mr. Whitaker, please explain?"

"Due to Christian Junior being the sole heir to the Astor fortune, Mrs. Astor-Davenport cannot be trusted due to financial issues. Both Christian and Charles expressed that in their Wills. Hence why we recommend supervised visitation."

"After reading the Wills, I agree."

"What!?" Celine scoffed loudly.

"Mrs. Astor-Davenport. Another outburst and you'll be held in contempt." Judge Krawczak looked at Attorney Crawley. "Next subject."

"Uhm, we're contesting her current marriage."

Judge Krawczak sighed. "Mr. Crawly. Doctor Astor-Seresin is an adult. According to her previous marriage, she knew Christian Astor only three weeks before they eloped and were married for 3 years. I trust Doctor Astor-Seresin's judgement. Let's get real, Mr. Crawley." Judge Krawczak looked at both attorneys. "If that is all, court is adjourned." He beat his gavel, stood up and walked to his chambers.

Celine glared at you. "This isn't over." She walked away with her attorneys.

Whitaker shook his head as he watched Celine walk away. "That woman." He looks at you. "Come on, Y/N. Let's get out of here."

You leave the courthouse and go out to your work truck where you open the door and get in. Your phone dings that you got a text and you look at it after you start the engine.

'Me too, Darlin,' Jake responded.

Present Day.

My leg and foot shook in a nervous rhythm. I remember doing this when I was very young at the doctors or the dentist. I could almost hear my Mom telling me in a hushed tone to calm down, we would be in and out in no time but even when I knew there was going to be needles, pokes, and prods having my Mom sitting there rubbing my back soothed me every single time. As you get older your Mom can't be there when things get tough, when you need to get your head checked to see if you are going into a slow insane mental state. My Mom was clear across the states not having an idea her daughter was sitting in a therapist's doctors office. Finally breaking down, not for me but for my kid. I couldn't keep walking around like a zombie most days. I was so numb to things I would say the most honest, most hurtful things to people. I lost more friends because I didn't know how to keep a filter on my mouth and I needed to do something about my head before I hurt the ones I truly loved.

"Ms. Dalton? The Doctor will see your now."

Five Years Ago.

"Babe, you are over thinking this. It's just a damn academy dinner. Nothing to get worked up over." Jackson said as he straightened his tie in the dresser mirror.

"Very funny, Jack. All you have to do is get a suit, throw it on and maybe brush your hair....If you had any that is." I said as I stepped out in a white floor length dress with a slit on the side that nearly went all the way up to my hip. I knew it was going to drop my husbands jaw and that it did. My makeup was done nicely, my hair up except a few loose strands of hair blowing to give it that wispy look.

I stepped in front the mirror now on purpose so that I could feel his eyes all over my body. His hands slid along my hips and fingers I could feel grip tightly like I was going to slip right from his grasp. I closed my eyes as a free hand slid along my slender neck tucking the loose strands of hair away so her could press his warm lips to skin that wasn't hidden beneath my dress.

"You look beautiful, baby." When I closed my eyes I could feel his words still spoken in a husky tone. I could feel his breath against my skin. I would be taken back to this moment each time I stood in front of this mirror....or at least till I threw a candle at the glass and breaking it into a million pieces. When I opened my eyes I could hear Jackson call me "Baby" again and when I would open my eyes I could feel the sting of salty tears that had built up freed to now stream down my face. My body would tremble and it wasn't till I broke that mirror I didn't shed another tear but the memories still lingered and hurt when I would climb into bed.

I remember that night his hand never left my lower back. Such a small gesture but it was something that could make me feel so safe next to him although every touch, every brush of his hand could send my skin ablaze. I forgot what it was like to be touched like that. I forgot how it felt to feel loved and cared for but when someone leaves you, leaves your side, someone you truly loved....You can feel yourself start to forget how everything felt with them. The first thing to go was his touch. His voice still haunted me to this day and I felt like some days I was losing it because I could hear him call from down the hallway and the even scarier part was I would answer him till Grasie would ask me who I was talking to.

Eye closed once more. His fingers slid the white dress zipper down, lips placed where the dress once was. I wanted nothing more than to live in this memory right here but those damn tears wouldn't let me relive anything else. I would be cut off from my alarm or curling up into a ball and crying myself to sleep.

Present Day.

"So you still have dreams? You are making a fantasy world of you and your husband then?" The therapist asked tapping her pen lightly to her clipboard.

"When you say it like that, sounds crazy but yes." I say trying to not fidget with my sleeves. I could see in her eyes she was ready to sign me off to the looney bin with a shit load of pills to shove down my throat but I wasn't about to do any of that. I was here to seek relief not be lectured that I couldn't move on from Jack.

"Do you talk to him, Emilia?" She asked.

"No." I said like it was the most absurd question I have ever heard but it was the biggest lie. Was it a sin to lie to your therapist on the first visit because it felt wrong?

"That's good." She said taking her eyes off me to write something down in my chart.

"Tell me why you stopped working as an ER nurse?" She asked looking back up at me now almost like she was judging my career choices like a scolding parent.

"...oh, uhm...well see I wanted to be able to have more time for Grasie and my schedule wasn't going to allow me to do that unless I worked nights and finding a sitter to stay all night. You see the news and all the freaks in the world. I couldn't just leave her with random people." I swallowed hard.

"I see and family?"

"Well, Jack's and my parents families are all over the place and not anywhere near California....Jack's parents have no desire to see Grasie."

"And why is that?" The therapist asked cocking her head to the side interested in why grandparents hadn't wanted to see their one and only granddaughter.

"They just say it's just so hard with everything going on." I finally answered trying to not crack but my voice had hints of letting the tears well up.

"Emilia, none of this is your fault. I can see you painting this picture that you are the bad guy here. I know this is all hard without the help of your husband around but you know things with let up. Things will heal." She said and I so badly wanted to believe her.

"When?" I asked with a doubtful chuckle. "It has been three years and I don't feel like anything is getting better. I feel like the worst mother, like I was the worst wife at times...I was so young and stupid."

"You need to stop that mindset right there. Your life was good you said at the beginning. Memories hurt, yes but lets move forward and not go back to the past in our next session okay? Next session we are going to talk about motherhood and Grasie. I want to hear more about her." My therapist signed a little piece of paper and handed it to me. "I want you to get that filled. Mild sleeping pills because I know you aren't sleeping. Take those till our next session and come back and tell me how you feel. We need to get you some sleep before I can really diagnose you...Yes?"

Getting up from the dark green velvet couch I nodded and flicked the paper in her direction. I had to admit I did need to get more sleep just by the dark circles that I covered up with makeup in the morning so that no one could notice.

"Thanks,Doc. So, uh....next week then?" She nodded right back at me and told me that Darcy at the front desk would make our next appointment. Today I had come in unsure if I was even going to stick with going to this therapist but now I felt that same warm soothing feeling my Mom gave to me when I was child and I knew this had to fix me. This had to get me back on track somehow.
