The bank robber stuck his shovel in the damp earth and swept the back of his hand across his forehead. For a while he stood looking out over the dead land, the yellow grass and black fence posts. At the edge of the still, orange cypress forest slanted the skeleton of a barn. A lonesome raven beat its wings on its perch of broken gable, then sang out dryly. It was otherwise heavy, wet, and silent, until his wife’s gentle sobbing started up again.

Potentially upsetting content under the cut.

He turned toward her, watched for a beat, then laid his hand on her little shoulder and pulled her close. Her hands clasped over her misshapen belly, but she staggered to the fresh grave and turned her face into his chest and soaked the front of his shirt with her tears and said, finally, “I feel so empty.”

This was not the first child Alice Wren had lost, but he had grown and lived in her belly for nine full months, only to go cold and grey in her arms. It was the shock of it, Ruck thought. She had all that time to anticipate a squirming, warm bundle. All that time to grow attached to the idea. It was different for women; she’d known him by the kicks of his feet and the weight of his body and the little moth wing flutter of his heart.

He wrapped her into his arms and held her for a long while. Heavy clouds rolled low across the sky. A solitary breeze rolled ash and cypress needles across the yellow grass. The raven beat its wings again then flew off. Alice Wren said, “This is your fault.”

@fortunatetragedy Tag! But with the caveat this one has a common trigger and I fully understand if you opt not to read it!

Vent post:

cw deadnaming, stillbirth mention

My mom is vehemently angry that I have adopted the name Alexis Michelle.

My mom chose that name for me when she was pregnant. She chose two names, Christian James and Alexis Michelle.

Now that I've adopted the name I would have had if I was born a girl, she is. Pissed.

She says that the name Alexis Michelle belongs to a child that was never born, but fails to realize that child was ME.

She compares it to a miscarried child, going so far as to even ask if I should take the name for my stillborn sibling while I'm at it.

To her it's as if she were pregnant with 2 children, Alexis and Christian, and Christian was born while Alexis was miscarried.

But I AM ALEXIS. I AM THAT CHILD. You just gave me the wrong name.

She says that I'm erasing so much of who we are together, that I'm erasing such a large part of who she is and her identity.

She says I'm so hyper focused on my feelings and identity that I don't care about her and hers.

I love my mom. And while we've always had some issues in the past, we always resolve them and come together.

But I just want her to see it from my side and understand. And I know she wants me to understand her side too. But that name was meant for me. I need her to understand that it was always meant to be mine.

Ooo, I'm interested in learning more about the last pregnancy if you're comfortable with going into detail! Was Reader able to have the baby, or did she have to abort the pregnancy to save her life? And if she had the kid, did said kid have any issues (like disabilities) as a result of the complications? So much juicy angst potential lol.

cw/tw: medical talk, complications during delivery, surgery, infant death/still birth

the last pregnancy was supposed to be twins, but everything that could go wrong basically went wrong. image breech delivery, umbilical cord wrapped around the neck etc.

reader had to gone in for emergency c-section and that already got adam stressed, since the others were all natural deliveries and he can’t be there in the room with her obviously.

sadly one twin didn’t make it, it was a still birth. the other one made it but still needed to be under supervision for the first week.

the reader also had both abnormal placentation and post partum hemorrhage, which is why she had to also get a hysterectomy done. it was all very a close call, and during the surgery she flat lined a few times.

during all that adam yelled at a lot of nurses and doctors. he very much advocated that reader gets saved over the children

the child has developmental dysplasia of the hip but since it was catched early it was easily treatable. the girl also suffered from hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, which caused her to have no developmental delays but she does suffer from epilepsy. it’s all under control with medication!

i do image since adam and reader have so many children that a few have adhd, autism and that one is deaf. the whole family is able to sign

(i;m sorry, the hell is the "womb situation"? I saw it from Nari's blog and their mods told me to go here, but i am still confused)

Mod Genie: 👏RECAP/EXPLANATION 👏TIME

Imora is was pregnant with twins.

Someone took those unborn children out of her womb and turned them into eggs. They're very much still alive, but Imora's body wasn't built to lay eggs, and it's not registering in her brain that her babies are okay.

So in her mind she's been forced to have a miscarriage/stillborn birth, and she's freaking out because of it.

Long story short, she's convinced her children are dead. And this is happening because of trauma associated with child loss that she's had before.

[pageofheartdj]

Angsty idea that because of Lilith's infertility when Lilith was trying to carry, her body would eventually reject it. When Lucifer was trying to carry, they would be born already gone. They stopped trying for a long time due to heartbreak.

Roo's deal allowed them to not lose their child anymore.

John Constantine and the vanishing twin.

Memory of a Baby

People crowded around a hospital bed. The room popped with emotion, bursting out like beautiful beams of joy. There, on the bed, a woman gently cradled the tiniest little child.

Can you ask the doctors to get some people out? I don't mean to be rude, but I'm exhausted, █...

Of course.

Some people filtered out of the room, respectful of the young woman's wishes, while a doctor stood on the sidelines, asking to see the child for another checkup.

Your baby isn't looking too well, Mrs. █. We need to see them again.

R..Right. Go ahead. You're the doc, eheh...

It was a long wait, and as the woman held another person's hand, a bit of worry whirling around in her head, the doctor came back in holding not a healthy baby boy, but a clipboard.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

She knew this was going to happen. The pregnancy didn't go well. Nor the birth. She knew, she knew, she knew. Still, her hand squeezes the person's, tensing as she listens to the news and listens to this person ramble on about apologies and explanations.

All in all, she couldn't bear to hear the news of her child, who'd gone to heaven all too soon.

Year 1681

TW/CW: Death, Stillbirth

With the new year, Giovanni Cesare and Vivienne's marriage remained turbulent as the pair would alternate between hushed arguing and passionate apologies when they weren't caring for their daughter.

Between his work and family, Giovanni Cesare was happy for the respite swimming brought him.

Back in Tartosa, Iseppo grew into a darling little boy who was more than happy to follow his siblings around.

But sadly, in late February, Leonardo Ludovici drifted in from a swim leaving his expectant wife a widow.

Katharine was distraught after losing her son and now her husband but with her unborn child to think of she did her best to push through and on March 5th, she delivered her second son, Luca.

At the Collari household, Salvador became a toddler to the delight of the household especially his mother who had already lost two young children recently.

Luca grew into a sweet baby and Benetta was happy to dote on her little nephew especially since after her wedding in February, she suspected that she too was with child as the months passed.

Camilla became a little toddler as well and while her parent's were no longer around to see her grow up, her extended family was overjoyed to see her growth.

Sadly back at the Bailey home, while Vivienne bonded with Elisabetta, her mother was devastated when July brought with it labor pains and a stillborn son.

As the Bailey household reeled from their loss, Orelia in her crew's encampment, went into labor in early September. On the ninth of the month she delivered a healthy daughter she named Rosa.

Though it didn't take long until Orelia was spending more time with her ship's captain both in and out of his quarters.

As the year drew to a close, Mr.Bailey discussed with Giovanni Cesare that once the original end of Giovanni Cesare's now extended contract was up, his remaining time would be spent at with a different employer so as to add some more separation between the households. Giovanni Cesare was shocked and worried about how Vivienne would react to the news since even 'disowned' she was living a life of relative luxury at her family home but when the contract was up her lifestyle would reflect his and not hers anymore but that was still a ways off.

Little Rosa grew into herself as news of Marcello and his wife welcoming their own daughter spread and young Juliette received the belated news that her brother had also had a daughter that May. Orsetta was happy to close out the year with her cousin being happy at the safe delivery of both of her nieces and her little sister growing up even if she was too young to play with properly.

(The lot that Orelia lives on with her girls is made by @greatbritishsimchallenge)

I made a mistake. I joined the Mortal Kombat verse on x/twt. RIP me. Just know Shuate owns my brain cells still despite that. But that aside I’m getting better! Things were getting serious with my health. Explanation below the cut.

I’ve been in hospital for awhile. They were going to amputate my leg but I got to keep it! But I am having issues with walking on my right leg. The last couple of weeks have been wild and I think I’m over the worst of it. I don’t know how my leg ended up infected when I was going septic from my stillborn babies. But it did.

It’s just uncomfortable trying to do writing and graphics when I have so many wires attached to my body and an iv line. They actually airlifted me to Brisbane because they thought I was going to die without extensive intervention. So that’s where I’m at right now.

I’m grateful to be alive and kicking. I’m still here.

I feel like Charlie wasn't Lilith's only pregnancy. barring any RP canons with future partners, Charlie is certainly her only baby. But I do hold the belief that Lilith was probably pregnant before and after Charlie was born and those pregnancies all ended badly one way or another.
