    ❝    what's a girl to do?    ❞    daisy laughs, setting her phone aside and locking it instead of daring to show mila her screen. she knows her sister would happily swipe and message for her, but... she just- doesn't want to go through all this.    ❝    this boy doesn't even know the difference between there, their, and they are-    ❞    she doesn't even know that she wants to find someone right now anyway. why settle for less.

[heartfe1t]

    ❝    still wondering why you even need the 'condom stash' considering...    ❞    she says with a glimmer in her eyes.    ❝    but i get it. it's a weird thing to tell people you're having unprotected sex. especially like- with her grandson.    ❞    she's not sure she'd like that thought either.    ❝    exactly- you've seen other girls get to do that. it's your turn! you're a really great wife with a really fantastic husband, and i know you'll be the best mommy.    ❞    daisy loves mila so much. her twin sister is her best friend in the world. since before they were born! she's so proud of her, in all honesty.    ❝    that's really good you're happy, that you're enjoying it. it's nice to not be under all that stress too, as much as i know you love your job.    ❞    

    ❝    i always miss you too, sissy... i don't like leaving you, or really just- being apart. but you really have been doing better, and it makes me feel a lot better about leaving whenever i do. i love seeing you so happy with quinn. he's a great guy, and he loves you, and he makes you happy. and you're both going to be so good with your baby.    ❞    she really believes mila's going to get everything she wants. and maybe when she does... daisy will feel more ready to expand her own life too.    ❝    i'm sure it'll be before you know it the two of us will be celebrating and you'll get to tell your husband you're gonna be parents.    ❞    

❝     i'm     so     happy,     sissy.     ❞     she     can't     help     but     let     a     grin     overtake     her     own     features     to     match     her     twin's.     she's     so     happy.     she's     wanted     to     have     a     family     with     quinn     since     before     they     were     even     engaged.     she'd     known     early     on     that     he     was     it     for     her.     ❝     you     could     never     put     any     pressure     on     me.     i     just     know     that     it's     not     totally     possible     right     now     to     get     pregnant.     it     can     happen     right     away,     but     it     could     be     three     months.     i'd     rather     not     worry     everyone.     when     we     hit     that     three     month     mark,     you     might     be     doing     a     lot     of     sitting     and     waiting     with     me,     but     right     now     i'm     just     not     getting     upset     about     it     all.     ❞

“ I have had a very long day… I am very small and I have no money, so you can imagine the kind of stress I am under. ”

    ❝    sissy… you and i both know that second part's just not true.    ❞    she laughs, rolling her eyes.    ❝    but maybe we should have a little nap? or a massage? oh- i can book us facials for 7:30- i know stacie doesn't mind if you fall asleep in the chair    ❞    she's already drawing up the text message as she checks the website to ensure availability.    ❝    it's been a long year, hasn't it?    ❞    far from just a long day for her twin sister.

    ❝    apparently, the second i put my head on your chest, she knew.    ❞    daisy shakes her head with a soft smile up at luca.    ❝    she's got a real sixth sense for this kind of thing.    ❞    plus- that's her twin sister. as much as daisy would say she likes to be careful with dating... mila's her other half. they talk about everything. whether she's sure or not.    ❝    she told me you were something-    ❞    

[heartfe1t]

( @chrryblsssm )

    ❝    well obviously i'm not mila. she's the prettier one    ❞    she laughs, shaking her head with a smile.    ❝    but do you get what i'm saying? i'm not looking to rush into things, obviously. not that that's what quinn and mila are doing, i trust what they have and i don't think she's ever been this happy... but- i'm just... i'm not checking boxes, or counting days on the calendar. i want you to do what feels right for you, and i'm going to do the same thing.    ❞    she's not dating him with a checklist, and while she's not going to be rash with any decision she makes... she trusts her instincts. and she wants him to trust his. if she can't trust him... she'd rather know than have someone try to fake it. she doesn't think he's faking things with her though, and that feels better than she can say.    ❝    good. because it makes me happy too that you want me to.    ❞    she smiles brightly as he wraps his arm around her, getting up on her toes and pressing her lips gently to his.

❝     yeah,     but     you're     not     your     sister,     even     if     you     do     look     similar.     you     and     i     have     our     own     timeline.     ❞     he     says,     smiling     softly     at     her.     he     wasn't     expecting     her     to     say     no,     but     he     wasn't     sure     he'd     anticipated     such     a     vibrant     yes,     either.     smile     erupts     across     his     face     as     she     throws     her     arms     around     his     neck,     his     own     wrapping     around     her     waist.     ❝     good.     that     makes     me     really     happy,     baby.     i     can't     wait     to     see     you     up     there     with     my     name     and     number     on     you.     ❞     even     now,     though     it     hasn't     been     long     they've     been     together,     he     hopes     one     day     maybe     it'll     be     their     last     name     she's     wearing,     and     not     just     his.

[heartfe1t]

    ❝    thanks, my parents gave it to me!    ❞    she laughs, tossing her hair with a bright grin.    ❝    but that's sweet. cliche- but sweet.    ❞    she's used to watching mila be complimented. they look the same, but she's the pretty one. and daisy's talented, but in her own way, and certainly not as much so as her sister. not that it's anything she'd ever hold against mila. that's her twin. the most important person in her life. it is nice though, to be admired.    ❝    they're definitely good together. i've known my sister since before we were born. she's happier with him than i think she's been in a long time. and he absolutely adores her, what more could a girl want?    ❞    

    ❝    i think you have to do it because you enjoy it. especially when it's such a high-injury risk situation.    ❞    she won't go into the fact that the reason she hasn't touched her drink he handed her is because she doesn't really drink, not now. it's not important. but she'll assuage his concerns too.    ❝    no, thank you. there's nothing wrong with the champagne. but i'd love to go sit down somewhere.    ❞    she trusts that mila is safe with quinn, or she'd be nervous to leave her. it still makes her nervous sometimes, especially at a party. but her sister isn't alone anymore. she's engaged, and she won't have to be alone again.

❝    that's    a    really    pretty    name.    fitting    for    such    a    pretty    girl.    ❞    and    she    is    pretty.    so    pretty.    he    knows    she's    mila's    twin,    but    he'd    never    quite    thought    of    mila    as    this    pretty.    maybe    it    was    that    he'd    never    known    the    actress    as    anything    but    happily    taken,    but    there    was    something    about    daisy    that    was    just    so    dazzling.    ❝    she's    been    good    for    him.    i    don't    know    her    well    enough    to    say    the    same    about    her,    but    i    know    i've    never    seen    quinn    happier    than    he    is    with    her,    and    that's    definitely    a    good    sign.    i    think    i'd    enjoy    being    attached    at    the    hip    with    someone    i    loved    like    that.    ❞    he    says    it    with    a    shrug.    he's    a    bit    of    a    romantic    at    heart.    quinn    and    mila    were    lucky    to    have    found    each    other.    ❝    i    think    i'd    get    bored    quite    quickly    if    i    did    it    just    because    of    fame    or    notoriety.    i'll    do    it    until    i    don't    like    doing    it    anymore,    or    an    injury    shakes    me    up    too    much.    ❞    he    breathes    a    sigh    of    relief    that    he's    not    bothering    her.    he    would    hate    to    think    he    was    being    annoying    or    that    she    wasn't    interested    in    talking    to    some    random    guy    she    didn't    know.    ❝    definitely    glad    to    be    able    to    say    i    know    you    now,    daisy    althea    ramos.    ❞    he    says    with    a    grin    overtaking    his    features.    he    was    having    a    good    time    getting    to    talk    with    her.    these    parties    weren't    really    his    favorite,    but    she    was    making    it    all    worthwhile.    ❝    can    i    grab    you    a    drink    or    anything?    your    champagne    isn't    too    warm?    i'd    love    to    maybe    sit    and    keep    talking?    i    think    there's    a    lounge    down    the    hall    with    a    few    less    people...    nice    couches,    someone    playing    the    piano.    interested?    ❞    he    asks,    looking    down    at    his    own    empty    champagne    flute.    he    hadn't    realized    until    now    that    he'd    finished    it,    enjoying    talking    to    her    entirely    too    much.

[heartfe1t]

    ❝    you're doing great mila. really.    ❞    and she is so proud. honestly, forever will be. that's her sister. and she's come out of such a dark place. to find herself again... to be around people who lift her up, who don't surround her with things she's not comfortable with or weren't healthy for her. she's safe. happy. daisy shakes her head at her words.    ❝    i'm not uncomfortable with that. the fact that you're getting married and i don't have that yet. i'm genuinely just thrilled for you! i swear!    ❞    she really wants to make sure her sister knows there's no issue on her end. she loves mila so much. her happiness just- makes daisy happy too. always.    ❝    your life going so well now makes me really, really happy, and you're going to be a stunning bride. you deserve all of this so much.    ❞    with everything mila has been through- the happy ending with someone who truly loves her is so deserved.

    ❝    and now- you really are going to marry him! you were absolutely right. there's no way you could've messed it up.    ❞    mila just knew- and it seems that she and quinn had been some kind of meant to be. there's no doubt in daisy's mind that she can trust quinn to take care of her sister. that mila's going to be safe with him.    ❝    you know i'm not jealous right? of him or of you? you don't have to justify anything to me. i love you- and i love him for you.    ❞

it's nice, that they're sort of living together still, despite mila's marriage to quinn. daisy enjoys being in the big beautiful house where her sister is, and not just because of the fact it's so nice. she likes being able to look out for mila. to be close to her twin.    ❝    i guess i was just surprised- i know you've been wanting a baby, but- i didn't know it was a 'i might really be pregnant and we're really trying so i'm scared to drink' kind of thing.    ❞    she wanted to be able to support her, no matter what the outcome of something like this.    ❝    how do you feel about it though? you know you could've texted me!    ❞    

mila     looks     up     from     the     crossword     she'd     been     doing     to     look     at     her     sister,     brows     knitting     together     in     confusion     for     a     moment     before     she     remembers     she     had     taken     a     pregnancy     test     the     night     before.     ❝     yeah,     no,     we've     been     trying     so...     i've     been     taking     one     every     month.     i     took     one     last     night     before     we     went     out     with     his     team     and     the     wives     because     even     though     my     period     isn't     due     for     another     two     weeks...     i     didn't     wanna     be     drinking     if     i'm     pregnant.     but     i'm     not,     so...     ❞     she     says,     giving     her     sister     a     soft     smile.

    ❝    daisy althea ramos, it's nice to meet you, luca beckett.    ❞    it's always nice, meeting new people. she genuinely enjoys that part of going to parties.     ❝    well that's good then. that you know quinn. they're definitely attached at the hip. but i think it's very sweet. she's always had a twin sister, so- she likes people close.    ❞    you're not after my sister, the unspoken thought that runs through her mind as she smiles at him. she doesn't sip the champagne, just holds it in her hand. it's hard to drink often for her, but it's nice to be offered.    ❝    that's sweet of you to want to talk to me. i usually get a lot of people approaching me thinking i'm mila.    ❞    she's endeared, by his wanting to come up to her. and interested, as he talks about racing.    ❝    that's good though- that you just do it because you like it. and the ambition- well- i actually think that's a good thing too. doing what you love and wanting to be really good at it.    ❞    his last remark sort of surprises her in a way, so she quickly shakes her head to reassure him.    ❝    oh, no- no you aren't bothering me. not at all. i like meeting people. and i understand enjoying being well- in one place. a familiar place. you might know mila, but- you can say you know me now too. not that it comes with nearly as much street cred.    ❞    she laughs at her own bad joke, but she's genuinely enjoying his company too.
