Collide-Justin Herbert-19

A/N I do not own or know the Chargers, Justin or any other real life person. This is all fantasy. Thank you

From the moment Sara arrived at her sister's house. It was chaos.

She didn't even have time to set her bags down before kids were tackling her and trying to get her attention. She gave them big hugs and then was passed around from family member to family member.

A mimosa was put in her hands at some point, (it was 11 am) her bags made it downstairs to her sleeping arrangements. It was all a blur, then she was at the kitchen counter while her family was arguing about going to Brent's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning later that night, which was news to Sara.

As much as she missed her family, she was worried about Justin, he hadn't spoken a word to her since Sunday before the game. That wasn't him at all, she knew the loss was hard on him, especially the ending. She tried to stay off Twitter, but she couldn't help but read some of the analysts' takes. (Which were bullshit)

"Sara, I wish you would have had one of us pick you up from the airport. You didn't need to take a taxi" her mother's voice broke her thoughts.

Her Uncle George cut in. "Well, now Sara is too good to be seen with us now. You know she's running around with all these plastic people. Matter of fact" He looked at Sara up close. "Is that a botox needle in your forehead?"

She frowned. Not even been here for an hour and was already getting teased. The whole group laughed while Aunt Willa chimed in. "Honestly Sara, if you get any plastic surgery I'd recommend chin lipo, although I must say you looked like you finally dropped the baby fat. We were all beginning to worry."

Brittany, Bouncing her baby bit back. "You were worried, for no reason." She looked at her baby sister. "Congratulations on the Fenty fashion show. We all look forward to seeing it on Amazon."

She was confused. "Well, I thought you guys would want to go. It's late January."

"Well it would be nice, but we can't get the time off."

Sara nodded. Looking over at her mom. "What about you and dad?"

Cathy smiled sadly. "Sorry sweetie I wish you had told me this a few months ago. I'd already booked my girls' cruise, and you know your father doesn't want to go to those things by himself."

"Yes, I don't think my brother would enjoy seeing his kid in lingerie. That's not a sight anyone would want to see, seriously Sara, how inappropriate." Aunt Willa took a swig of her champagne.

Now she was reminded why she never went home. Speaking of her dad. "Hey, where is dad? I haven't seen him."

Cathy shook her head. "I wish he would slow down. The whole plane ride here he was glued to his laptop."

"Surely his clients are on Holiday too. I'm sure they don't want to be speaking business all the time." Charles rolled his eyes and cut in "Unfortunately they all have the same mindset. Why do you think I never took a position with his company? I'd like to enjoy my kids and my life, thank you." He wrapped his arm around his wife, who smiled and kissed her husband. 

The whole group awwwed. Sara smiled, wondering how Justin would be if he was here. 

Kenzie began crying in Sara's arms, she took that as a sign to pass her to Alyssa for feeding, as soon as her arms were free Brittany passed her daughter Eliza to her, who for being almost a year old was a smiley and bubble child. She was pulling on her aunt's ponytail and giggling.

Alyssa rolled her eyes as she passed Kenzie for Sara to hold. "He's using Theo's playroom as an office. Seriously, even the week of Thanksgiving, he has a lead on some stock."

The group laughed as they watched the whole thing. Eventually, Cathy spoke. "Sara, so Friday night we need you to watch the kids."

Sara was playing with the baby's hands. "Why?"

"Well we are going to the Christmas market, and taking seven children would be a nightmare."

She was confused. "Well I can go, I love the Christmas market. I can ride the kiddie rides"

Katie cut in. "Well they have this couple thing that we are all doing, and since you're single…." She trailed off.

Of course, because Sara was single she couldn't be involved with any of the couple's stuff. 

They were interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. Alyssa smiled. "Ryan and Michelle are here!"

Ryan was Brent's brother, he and his wife married the past April which the whole family attended. Sara's family was close, which meant that in- Laws were a part of the family as much as blood-relatives. Again she wondered how they would be with Justin in this scenario.

The entire family was welcoming to Harry. When he surprised Sara by showing up to Pittsburgh the family welcomed him with open arms. He charmed her mom and dad and acted like one of the siblings.

When it was revealed he cheated the whole family was in shock. Sara was in a dark funk and shut herself off from them. It was a defense mechanism. She didn't want the looks and words of pity, the whole speech of finding someone and 'there's one in this world for everyone' crap. Katie and Charles met in college, same with Scott and Brittany, Alyssa and Brent were together since middle school, only breaking up when he was drafted due to distance. It only lasted four months. 

Then there was her. She had a boyfriend in high school, who laughed and discouraged her love of acting. She had some hookups in college. After fame she had an on/off relationship with a guitarist from an indie band. Her family majorly disapproved of him. Sara was ashamed to admit he treated her like crap. Now that she thought about it, she liked the fact that dating him made her a rebel of the family. 

Once everyone greeted the newlyweds the conversation continued. Her dad had come into the kitchen finally and Sara greeted him with a hug and kiss."

"Missed you, Sare bear. You need to come around more often."

"Yeah we haven't seen you since April. Do you even like us?" Ryan laughed.

She smiled. "I've just been busy with everything."

Uncle George cut in. "Oh I'm sure Pilates and fancy lunches have kept you so busy." 

Everyone laughed. 

Sara wanted to just go home.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey you"

Justin turned around to find Kristen behind him, he was on his way to the film room after weight lifting. The overall mood was sour, the loss stung. As much as they tried to focus on the Holiday nothing seemed to cheer up the group. His mom and dad announced last minute they would be driving up Wednesday with Patrick so he wouldn't be alone.

"Hey! Aren't you supposed to be back home?"

She laughed. "Yes, but the campaigns are killing me. Besides, David is in town and that's all I really need. What about you?"

"My parents and Patrick are coming tomorrow so it will be nice to see them."

She smiled. "Oh how sweet! Mitch is probably busy with Med school, what about your girl?"

He smiled sadly. "She's with her family in Missouri."

Kristen made a sad face. "Oh I'm sorry, at least you will have your family. Trust me, Holidays suck when you're alone."

Justin laughed. "You don't have to tell me. I had one by myself. I was invited to join some teammates and their family but I feel bad intruding you know?"

She agreed. "Hey I have to go, but David and I are going to head to dinner later. Would you be down?

Justin shrugged. He could use the company. "Sure! It will be nice to catch up with another person from Oregon. Maybe he could give me the scoop on Patrick so I have something to tease him for."

Kristen laughed. "Sounds perfect! I'll text you the details." 

They waved bye and went their separate ways.

Unaware that someone was watching.

From fansports.com

Taylor Biscotti confirms romance with Chargers QB Justin Herbert.

The two sports stars, who have been linked since 2021, were spotted at lunch near Herbert's home in Irvine, a fan tweeted seeing them, although they weren't sure it was Biscotti, she confirmed it by liking another twitter user's post defending the couple's relationship. Inside sources also say the two were spotted hanging out near SoFi stadium.

The tweet may have been unliked, but their romance is alive

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"GOAL! The Blues take an early lead!"Sara stood up from her seat in the St. Louis Blues private box and cheered along with the rest of her family.

It was early in the first period, the Wozniak family having their own separate box for the game. 

Upon arrival, a couple of fans spotted her and asked for photos. She felt herself being recorded a couple of times when she was talking to her sisters. 

During the break they showed her face on the jumbotron. She smiled and chugged her beer to the cheers of the fans.

Of course her Aunt Willa made some comment about being classy.

The suite provided an entire buffet for the family of the players. While everything looked really good Sara was on a strict diet, deciding to keep her calories to alcohol. She was trying not to be obvious in checking her phone to see if she had any calls or texts from Justin. So far nothing, and that worried her. This is the longest they hadn't spoken since they first met. She knew the loss was hard on him, but not enough to shut her out.

Katie's oldest son, Charlie kept begging her to play games on her phone, saying that the game was boring. Sara instead told him they could play I Spy instead. The last thing she needed was for a message to pop up and the almost seven year old to answer its or worse pick up a phone call. It has happened before.

Once the second period started, Katie yelled at him to play with his siblings, since the other cousins were too young. Sara was holding Kenzie once again, taking in the baby smell and soaking up the cuddles.

Alyssa sat next to her and smiled. "You're a natural, you know that?"

"Well I mean she is number seven, so I have had practice." They looked over at Brittany who was sipping water. "Is it just me or is she pregnant?" Sara laughed.

Alyssa joined in. "She hasn't had one sip of alcohol, and when I took out the breakfast spread she looked like she wanted to puke at the smell of the eggs."

"Watch I'm calling it, she's going to announce it at dinner Thursday." They both bet on it. Being close, they usually knew something was up with one sister before they could say it towards the family.

It shouldn't have surprised Sara when Alyssa spoke again. "So Katie told me when you had lunch in New York that you have a crush on this guy? Jake I believe?"

"I don't remember what I said to Katie, you know she blows everything out of proportion."

Alyssa rolled her eyes before pulling out her phone, after a few minutes. "Justin Herbert, he follows you on your private account"

Sara groaned. "He's a friend. I've only spoken to him once at Joe's wedding in July.  Besides, I have friends that follow me on my account."

"How is he a friend if you have only spoken to him once?"

"He requested me, so ask him. I've gone with Joe and Alisha to Chargers games and he's good friends with them. So that is probably why." She was hoping her sister would drop it.

But of course she wasn't that lucky. "Come on Sara, he is just your type."

"He has a girlfriend." It was the only excuse to get her sister off of her back. It pissed her off to say it, but she had to do what she had to do.

That seemed to shut Alyssa up for a bit. "Sara, you need to get back out there, go on some dates. Maybe stay away from famous guys. Ooh maybe Brent could set you up with one of his teammates. How about one of the guys he used to be teammates with in Chicago? Or… you did say that you like-"

"Alyssa, stop please. I'm not concerned about finding someone right now, okay? I know when you all were my age you had rings on your finger. It's just not for me right now.

Alyssa studied her sister carefully. It was the way she spoke about this Justin character that raised her alarm bells. Katie had told her the same thing when they spoke on the phone. Their baby sister may be an amazing actress, but she wore her heart on her sleeve when it came to love. It was no different now, and when Alyssa and Katie researched him, they discovered he was dating a sports reporter. Leave it to Sara to fall in love with someone unavailable.

The topic was dropped as they enjoyed the rest of the game.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Table for three please, in the back." Justin smiled at the hostess and David and Kristen followed behind him.

It was nice to catch up with friends from Eugene, his only regret from his trip with Sara was that he didn't get a chance to Introduce her to any of his friends. Maybe one day that will change.

They were seated at a table with two chairs on one side and one on the other. David took the single seat, making Justin and Kristen sit next to each other. Justin was aloof, it was just a friend.

Too bad no one else saw it that way.

The waitress came over and smiled right away, recognizing Justin. She looked to be in high school and immediately glared at Kristen.

She took their drink and food orders, having been to this place frequently. When she walked away Kristen laughed. "Oh my god she thought you and I were together! I hope she doesn't spit in my food."

Justin was red. "Oh my god I'm so sorry, seriously I didn't mean for that to happen."

Kristen waved her hand. "It's fine, you should be used to it Mr. QB." David teased. "How does it feel to be getting all of the attention from the ladies now? I noticed Sara Wozniak follows you. She's one of the biggest actresses of our time."

Justin tried to play it off. "Yeah we met at Joe Grant's wedding in July. Only said a couple words to her."

David was looking at his phone. "Speaking of she's at the St. Louis Blues game. Her brother in law Brent Smith is a defenseman on the team."

It was like a light bulb went off in the blonde's head. Out of the corner of Justin's eye he saw her whip her head towards him. He knew it was coming.

"Justin. What does your girlfriend do in the entertainment industry?"

He was quiet for a moment. David was lost looking between the both of them. The conversation was on hold as the waitress came back with the food. Making sure to lay the niceness on thick with the athlete. Once she saw she was getting anything past the usual niceness, she huffed and walked away.

Normally someone would make a comment but there were other things to focus on. "So what exactly does your girlfriend do? I believe her name is Sara." Kristen leaned towards Justin with her head on her hand, she looked like a mom questioning her kid about something he did. "That is her name."

"And you said she is visiting family in St. Louis?" David was looking back and forth between the both of them, confused on what his girlfriend was getting at. "Kristen babe what-"

"I said she is in Missouri." Justin tried to be as vague as possible but unfortunately luck was not on his side. 

"Justin, is Sara Wozniak your girlfriend?"

Justin was silent. He didn't know what to say, but silence meant conformation. "Kristen it's very private-"

She clapped her hands in happiness."no way! That's amazing!"

David's jaw was dropped. "Dude, do you realize how lucky you are? She was 2019 Maxim's hottest celebrity of the year!" Justin and Kristen glared at him. "One of my buddies told me" He defended.

"I loved her in Don't worry Darling. Did she really hook up with Harry Styles? I always thought it was PR?"

Justin was uncomfortable. "I don't know, it's not something I want to talk about with her." 

David and Kristen dropped that subject sensing how pissy he was. "But seriously, how did you even meet?"

He felt like he had told this story a million times. "At Joe Grant's wedding in July. We just hit it off."

"I follow her on social media and she's hilarious, and so sweet. She is very involved with Charities and will help anyone. Never heard of a bad experience with her." Kristen smiled. "How have you guys managed to dodge cameras?"

"Well for starters you're the only one who knows outside of family that knows. Second, we don't go out in public, and I don't plan on it."

"No offense dude, you're dating one of the biggest stars of our time. If anyone close to her team knows eventually it's gonna come out. Not to mention if she has a movie coming out. Makes good PR."

Justin shook his head. "She would never, besides she had a movie premiere in October and nothing was said."

"At the end of the day celebrities are all about the image. It's up to her team to make the announcement when it would benefit their client."

Kristen, who sensed Justin was getting uncomfortable, decided to switch topics. As they spoke about Justin's family coming in for Thursday he was deep in thought. 

Sara wasn't that type. Was she?"

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was cookie day. 

The day before Thanksgiving everyone got together and made a shit ton of cookies. It was Sara's favorite thing about the Holidays. They made over 600 cookies, sugar, rainbow, chocolate chip, raspberry lemon, ricotta chocolate chip, ladyfingers, any kind you name it. They did it for all of the sisters' weddings. Over 400 made for the reception. They were handed out as gifts.

All of their friends appreciated the day. It was called Wozniak cookie factories. It was insane. 

Alyssa's kitchen was a factory, mixers were going, a ton of baking sheets were spread out on her kitchen island. Sara was helping the kids at the dining room table decorate the ones that cooled off. Theo was on her hip. He had a meltdown over Brent leaving for a week road trip, the almost three year old not understanding that dad will be coming back.

Aunt Willia remarked as Theo was screaming. "Sara darling, if you ever get married do not marry an athlete."

Sara could only nod. Alyssa rolled her eyes.

Charlie and his younger brother Tristan were arguing over who's cookie was better. Sara and Katie had to step in. Mike was sitting in the living room on his phone, making a business deal for sure. Sara rolled her eyes. Leave it to her dad not to be involved with this.

Her sisters may have gotten used to it but she wasn't. He still managed to make time for the others as they grew up but when it came to her it was always work. She hated to see the cycle repeat with her nieces and nephews.

She set Theo down in his seat once he finally calmed down.  Eliza was napping. Alyssa was feeding Kenzie. Tristan and Charlie were decorating while their sisters Samantha and Jessica were in the playpen as they were too young and their attention span was very short.

Sara was about to start with the turtle cookies. She was going to make a bunch for Justin but on cue she felt her phone buzz in her Jean pocket. She grabbed it to see Justin's name. It was the first time he reached out since Sunday. She looked around the kitchen. Everyone was occupied so she decided to go out the front door. Walking past her dad she told him "Hey dad my agent is calling I'll be right back. "

"Hmm hmm" was his only response as she closed the door behind her and stepped into the chilly evening. Making sure she walked a good distance so no one could hear her she picked up . "Well well Justin long time no speak"

She heard him sigh on the other end. "I know babe, I'm sorry. It's been a crazy couple of days."

She rolled her eyes. "So has mine, but I've texted you. You had me worried sick."

Silence. She knew that he knew he was in the wrong. After a moment he spoke. "I know there is no excuse. I'm sorry. I will make it up to you when you come home." 

That made her feel better. "Patience baby, less than one week."

"I know Sara, I'm anxious because I miss you so much."

"I hate that you're celebrating Thanksgiving alone."

Justin laughed. "I actually have my family in town."

"Oh my god, how long are they in town!" Sara wanted to see his family and hoped they would stay in town til she arrived Monday.

"Pat is leaving Friday for his game. My parents are staying til Sunday."

"Damn I'm making cookies and I have like four plates to bring home."

Justin laughed. "Really? Is your family one of those holiday cookies obsessed?"

"Our record is 700." Justin let out a low whistle. "I can't imagine that."

"Yeah poor Alyssa's kitchen is going to be a huge mess."

"Speaking of your family, did you say anything about us?"

"No, and they have been questioning me because you follow my private social media. I told them you were just a friend and you have a girlfriend."

She heard him breathing a little heavier on the other side. "Really? How would you describe this girlfriend of mine?"

A blonde reporter, she thought bitterly before she spoke. "Well she is a brunette, who is stubborn and a total goober." Her and Justin shared a laugh. "Also the major plastic surgery she needs is a chip lipo."

"Wait what?" Justin was confused, this was supposed to be playfully and she just comes out of left field with this. 

She didn't know why she said it, but her family tended to point out her insecurities and get under her skin. "My Aunt Willa said that if I get any plastic surgery it should be chin lipo. My uncle joked that I have botox."

"You're Aunt Willa sounds like a bitch." Sara laughed loudly. "Yep she is. I don't know why she always shows up to family events. She has her husband's family to go and bother but I guess they see through her bullshit."

They spoke for a little bit before she saw incoming texts asking where she went. She told Justin she loved him and missed him before sighing and walking back to the house. 

When she walked back in, all eyes were on her "and just where have you been?" Her mother scolded like she was coming in late from curfew."

Sara was confused and looked at her dad, who was in the exact same spot on his computer. "Dad, I told you I had to step outside to take a phone call?"

"You never told me that." Anger bubbled up inside of her. "Yes I did, you just don't pay attention because of work, as usual."

Cathy interjected. "Your father works really hard. Remember how you grew up."

Of course Aunt Willa cut in. "Seriously Sara, why must you always start something on Holidays. If you were going to do this we might as well not want your presence."

Sara's eyes widened and she opened her mouth to say something but Scott, Brittany's husband cut in. "Hey guys we still got a bunch of cookies to make! We want to break the Wozniak family record! To the kitchen everyone!" 

To avoid further confrontation everyone followed Scott's lead. Sara trailed behind. She turned around to give her dad one last glare. Of course his attention was still on the laptop.

It was going to be a long fucking weekend.

—-------------------------------------------------------------

Justin had just got home from Thanksgiving practice to the smell of a home cooked meal, something he hadn't had since Sara left. He walked into the kitchen to be greeted by his mother and father, as well as Patrick. His mom was checking on the small turkey he bought from the store last minute. Usually if his family wasn't in town he would just go by a teammate's house. But this was much nicer, he was around people he was comfortable with. It was times like this he really missed Sara. He loved how well she fit in with his family.

Yesterday's conversation with David and Kristen was in his mind. Sometimes he forgot that she was a huge celebrity.

It's not up to her when her PR releases info. 

He was a private person, the less people knew about him the better. So if this relationship were to be exposed. People would want to know everything about him, his family, friends, and people he was romantically involved with. He didn't want that at all. 

He had to push that off to the side before he gave himself a panic attack. 

Patrick and his dad began talking to him about the Lions-Bills game that was on and that occupied him, as well as the video review he needed to watch. 

He and Patrick were discussing the videos before Mitch called from New York. It was hard not seeing Mitch as often as he used to. He looked to him for advice considering he was the oldest and the wisest at life. Mitch wouldn't say that though, but it showed in his accomplishments. 

They spoke with Mitch over facetime and then ate. His mom was one of the best cooks. After a few minutes of silence his father spoke. "So what is Sara doing with her family? She's from Pennsylvania isn't she?"

Justin shoved mashed potatoes in his mouth. "Yes, but she is in Missouri. Her brother in law plays for the St. Louis Blues, so the whole family is down there."

"She has nieces and nephews right?" Justin smiled. "Seven, and she thinks her sister is pregnant and going to announce."

Patrick shook his head. "Wow, that's a lot of kids. He looked at his mother, and he knew the look on his face. "Don't you start asking about grandkids."

Mark and Holly laughed. "I'm not. Not yet anyways."

Patrick laughed. "Don't come around with that energy. If you want grandkids you better pester Mitch and Isabella for that."

Holly laughed. "Once he graduates med school in a couple of years. Or.." She looked at Justin. Who wasn't paying attention until he felt all eyes on him. "What? Oh no mom don't start."

"I'm not starting anything, I'm just saying anything but you and Sara seem really serious."

"Oh Holly please, he's twenty four and they have only been seeing each other for less than a year. Give them time, plus he's 24 and focused on football, way too young to be talking kids and marriage."

Patrick spoke. "Wait, I thought you really liked Sara."

"Oh trust me I really do, I'm just saying it's too soon. Trust me I would love for all my sons' girlfriends to join the family one day. Just not today because I don't want to feel old and I'm not ready to be called Grandpa thank you very much."

Holly smiled. "It's not much, but I would like to be a grandmother in five years at least."

Justin smiled. "We will see about that. But I still think Mitch is your best bet."

Holly smiled into her wine.

—------------------------------‐—--‐—-----------------------

Dinner was delicious.

She had to admit her family knew how to cook. Thank God, because if Alyssa was left to fend for herself. It would be drastically different. Her dad carved the massive bird. The blessing was said and they all dug in. Sara made the mac n cheese and posted it to tiktok. Which it was social media approved thank you very much.

Before the meal Sara and her family posed for a united photo to post on Instagram. Of course her Uncle and Aunt had something to say.

Things had seemed to calm down since the dodged argument the previous day. Sara decided not to let their shitty comments bother her. She didn't want to be the trouble maker as her aunt called her. 

Just a few more days she thought. I can do this.

The family launched into their plans for Friday. They had planned to make a whole day out of shopping and Christmas fun. Sara picked at her plate while they spoke of their couples fun date night. 

"Sara?" 

She looked up from her plate. "Yes?"

"We have enough bottles in the fridge, and we also wrote out their schedules for naps and stuff. Also Tristian and Charlie are to have no sugar." Katie stated. 

Charles smiled. "Although you're their favorite aunt for a reason, so we don't expect you to follow that."

Sara smiled. "I am the fun one for a reason. Which reminds me, give me a list of all the things they want for Christmas that will piss you off so I know what to get them."

The whole group laughed. But it was short lived because of Aunt Willa.

"Well dear you know sweets aren't good for them. You don't want them to be chubby like you growing up. Also be careful about your plate, you don't want to setback your weight loss."

Everyone continued talking, oblivious to the direct insult at Sara. It was always like this, to avoid conflict. Which was easy for them because her insults weren't as rude to them as it was Sara. 

She took another swig of her wine, reaching for the bottle again to pour herself a big glass. Of course Uncle George had to notice.

"Whoa we see Hollywood is turning you into an alcoholic. What's next, Coke?"

Sara laughed. "No Uncle George, if I ever wanted some though I could probably ask one of your law buddies."

That shut him up really quickly.

Cathy spoke up. "Oh my god, making all of those lady fingers yesterday reminds me of making them for all the weddings. Alyssa I can't believe yours was almost five years ago."

"It's been too long since we had a wedding." Scott sighed. "I must say the Wozniak's know how to throw a party." He looked at Sara. "I can't wait for it to be your turn. You always know how to get the party started."

"Yes we all know she had a lot of practice at UCLA while wasting it on that psychology degree." Willa stated.

"You know I also minored in Fine Arts too right?"

Ryan, Brent's brother cut in. "That's awesome though, hey I couldn't do that to save my life. Some people are good at science and some at arts. What makes the world go around" He smiled at Sara and she finally felt like someone was in her corner.

Mike cut in. "I don't think I'll ever have to worry about Sara bringing home a guy. She's learned her lessons from all the losers she's dated. She's perfectly happy being on her own."

Well fuck you dad.

"Well when Sara does get married, it's going to be a beautiful lavish affair. It's going to be full of celebrities. Oh Sara, please invite Celine Dion!"

"Mom, I don't even know Celine Dion. I can't just ask her to come to my wedding."

"Less money I'm going to have to dish out." Mike muttered.

Sara stabbed at her salad. "Yeah you saved so much money for not paying for my college."

Willa stood up for her brother. "Can you blame him? You got lucky getting discovered with that show. Otherwise you'd be a secretary working for your dad's company." 

Katie wanted to change topics. "So did I tell you that I signed Tristian up for flag football?" The group, eager to switch topics all were amazed by this fact. "Yes, he was watching the Steelers and wants to be like Kenny Pickett."

Charles looked at Sara. "Hey, you could get him a jersey and some tickets for Christmas."

Sara smiled and said she would do anything for her nieces and nephews. "I would love to. "

Brittany saw that her aunt was about to open her mouth again. "Scott and I have an announcement." She and her husband stood up. Katie, Alyssa, and Sara all looked at each other with knowing smiles on their faces. "Eliza will be a big sister in June!"

Everyone jumped up in happiness. Cathy cried, excited to be an eighth time grandmother. Sara hugged both Brittany and Scott. She knew that they wanted a big family and before Eliza they had two miscarriages that were hard on them. So they deserved this. The atmosphere changed to a lighter mood as they talked about the upcoming baby. They all had their predictions. (Mostly everyone thought it was a boy.)

They got through the rest of dinner and dessert. The family decided to have a game night while the kids fell asleep due to the food overload. 

Sara had to admit she had a blast, her family was close and fun (when aunt Willa and uncle George weren't involved.)

It was a little past one am when they decided to turn in. Everyone once again brought up the fun day they had planned without her.

She headed downstairs and got ready for bed replaying the insults that Willa hurled at her. She understood that while her family would talk shit about their fathers sister. They allowed her to bully all of them and tolerate it because she was her dad's only relative. Why couldn't her mom's many siblings and their kids ever join them? At least they were more fun and didn't treat Sara like she was scum on the bottom of the shoe. 

She messaged Justin that she hoped he had a good Thanksgiving with his family. He replied back which was shocking that he loved her and that he hoped that her family didn't put her down too much.

They went back and forth a few times before Sara fell asleep to get ready for the chaos of looking over seven kids by herself.

—----------------------------------------------------------------

Justin had to plan for Christmas.

His mother and father were out shopping, and it wasn't til they mentioned Christmas that he realized he was so far behind.

He usually only bought it for his parents and siblings, as well as the team. But this year he had a girl in his life, one that meant alot to him. So he wanted to make it special.

He did the basic decorating, he did have a tree. But he didn't put it up last year because of the little menace he called Nova kept trying to climb it. 

He was on his laptop while the television was playing game footage.

He thought about what she would like. Jewelry? Perfume? Lingerie? Well let's face it, that would be for him.

He knew Sara didn't care about materialistic things but he wanted to get her some nice things. He tried to rack his brain for some designer brands she wore. There was Balmain? Michael Kors did a shoot for them so he knew of them. She did mention about working out, maybe he could get some Nike gear for her.

He knew she shared his love for Oregon and enjoyed her time there. So he racked his brain for an idea. He sat there staring off into space for a few minutes before an idea popped into his mind. He grabbed his phone and began to scroll through his contacts. It was a personal number used for special clients like Justin. He felt bad for using it the day after a Holiday, but once the guy picked up he assured him it was no big deal and that he could work on the piece ASAP. It was expensive, more than what he would usually spend on someone. But Sara was worth it.

He told the guy his idea and Tony said he would draw up some sketches and send them to him within a couple of days.

They hung up, Justin felt good and confident in this gift. It wasn't going to be her only one, but it was the most important and sentimental.

And while the thought of her overwhelming fame terrified him. He was going to push that aside.

—----------------------------------------------------------

Did Sara want kids? Yes. 

Did she want a big family? Maybe, she always thought about three or four at the most?

Did she love and adore her nieces and nephews? Yes, she would take a bullet for them.

But damn was this overwhelming. She woke up to the family heading out the door while giving last minute instructions for the toddlers and baby. Tristian and Charlie, being five and older, just wanted to play video games, thankfully Katie packed their IPads. It's funny, because she swore her kids would never be IPad kids, but she sure as shit was thankful they had them

Their twin sisters Jessica and Samantha, were three and they demanded attention, as well as Theo. When he woke up he was asking for Brent and Sara had to remind him he was not home and wouldn't be for a week.

Insert chaos.

Theo went into a full meltdown, which in turn woke up his baby sister for a feeding, in turn Eliza was crying. Try feeding a six month old while trying to console a two year old. Then the twins needed food. She set everyone down at the table and had to yell at Tristian and Charlie to leave the electronics in the living room.

She took requests. The boys wanted eggs, while the twins wanted French toast. After placing a large order from the local breakfast house ( no way she was cooking) everyone was at the table eating while Sara fed and changed Kenzie and also spoon fed Eliza her baby food. She looked at the time on the stove and saw it was only 10am.

Once breakfast was done and trash was thrown out, in which she had to bribe Charlie to watch the kids for two minutes.  Theo began asking for his dad once again. When she tried to distract the toddler she could see another meltdown forming so she got her phone to facetime Brent. She didn't know what his schedule was or where he was at but god she hoped he was paying attention to his phone.

She saw his face appear on the screen and she took a sigh of relief. "Hey Sara what is the matte-"

"Daddy!" Theo came running and she scooped him up on her lap so he could see. "Hey little man! What's up!"

Theo, expressed how much he missed him and Sara could see how much Brent softened seeing his son. It made her own heart melt. They all spoke and once it seemed Theo was satisfied, well falling asleep. Sara put him down for a nap as well as the twins. Kenzie was on the jungle map and the boys were occupied, so was Eliza.

"Why are you with all the kids?" Brent questioned. Sara rolled her eyes. "Because everyone else is having couple time."

"Why did Alyssa go?" Sara shook her head. "I guess she needed a break."

"That's not fair for them to ask you to watch seven children."

She nodded. "Yeah. But I don't get to spend much time with the little monsters so I guess I'll let it slide. But I'm not doing it next year when Brittany has her baby."

Brent laughed. "Yeah Alyssa told me. Who knows next year you can join us for our nights out."

Sara smiled. "We will see."

"Alyssa told me what happened at dinner with Aunt Willa. Forget about her, she is a bitch." 

"Ooh Uncle Brent you swore!" Leave it to Tristan to walk in at the right Moment.

"You heard nothing from me kid if you want that hockey stick." That shut him up really quickly. He spoke once Sara gave him the nod the kid was out of the room. "But seriously, I don't understand why this family lets her be like that. She bullies everyone, but especially you."

"Trust me you have been in this family since middle school. You know everyone hates her, but she's my dad's only sibling and the only family he has left."

Brent shook his head. "Doesn't matter. She just turns good chaos into bad chaos."

Sara nodded. "Remember when you guys broke up while you were in Chicago? She was setting Alyssa up with every guy in the area"

Brent laughed. "Remember the look on her face when I showed up to her house after we got back together?"

They busted our laughing remembering that night a little too well. Sara wished him luck on his game and she would be watching along with Theo and the others. 

When she hung up Eliza waddled over and did her grabby hands. Sara picked up and pestered her face with kisses. She felt her phone ring again and saw that it was Justin. Picking up she saw his face that he was confused that there was another face. "Um hi?"

"Hi honey." She smiled. She bounced Eliza on her lap. "This is my niece Eliza, she can keep a secret, don't worry. Can you say hi Liz?" The baby held up her hand and Justin smiled as he watched his girlfriend kiss the baby's chubby cheek. It gave him ideas.

"You look exhausted." She laughed. "Gee thanks"

"I'm serious babe. You lost some weight but you look malnourished."

She playfully glared at him. "You a doctor or something?" He gave her a 'are you serious' look and she laughed. "Have you eaten?" She looked at the time, it was 1pm . "No actually I haven't had a sip of water or a bite to eat! I've been looking after seven kids all day."

Justin shook his head. "Eat. Please. And have some water." He saw her set the phone down and get up and grab a bottle of water. Once she sat down she tried to set Eliza down but the she started to whine so Sara picked her back up. Once she unscrewed the water the baby tried to grab it from her hands. Sara held the water out of reach. He heard another baby voice. "Aunt Sasa I'm thirsty and he assumed she handed the bottle to the little kid. "See? No time for anything. If I tried to get some food right now they would be bothering me"

"I'm hungy!" She nodded. "Okay Theo what do you want? You want Dino nuggets?"

"Oh Aunt Sara do we have any leftover stuffing?"  Before Justin could say anything Sara was surrounded by kids. "Look ill call you later" the phone went black before he could say anything.

Sara heard Kenzie crying and grabbed her from the playpen and quickly changed her. The twins woke up from their nap and wanted to dance so she put on Disney tunes and she bounced around with them while she prepared lunch. Eliza was clingy and wouldn't leave Sara's side, but then Jessica got jealous, and then Samantha was upset that her twin was getting attention.

Sara made a mental reminder not to watch all of them ever again. 

Once lunch was taken care of. She set everyone down to watch a movie. While she was holding Kenzie (Eliza and the twins fell asleep.) Charlie sat next to Sara on the couch and cuddled up to her. While she loved everyone, she had a special bond with Charlie, he was the first born and was the center of Sara’s world until his siblings and other cousins came along. He was expected to go to the wayside while his other siblings needed more care. That was the downside of being the oldest. She supposed that was how Katie felt growing up. She knew he was jealous that the others were soaking up the attention. "You need to come around more often. I miss you."

She ruffled his hair. "I know kiddo, I'm sorry."

"Are you coming for Christmas?"

"I don't know yet, but I will be by you guys for your Birthday in June. I'll take you on a special day. Me and you, no pesky younger siblings and I'll get ya a little cake so you can blow out the candles by yourself."  She whispered that last part. He smiled and rested his head on her shoulder. 

"Aunt Sara?"

"Hmm?"

"Can you not have any kids?"

She laughed and ruffled his hair.

—----------------------------------------------------‐—---

The rest of the day went smoothly. She took everyone to the basement to play some kiddie games. She had made sure to tire them out so when the parents returned home everyone had bathe and was in their sleeping arrangements. "Holy cow, the house is clean, kids are sleeping and you're alive. You are too damn good. I'll pay you to move in with us." Charles said as everyone laughed.

"Yes its a shame she's wasting all of her fertile years." Uncle George remarked and as usual, the happy mood was spoiled by the drags of the family. 

Sara got up from the couch and felt a little dizziness and realized again she hadn't eaten and had a few sips of water. "I need to eat something." She headed over to the kitchen and began to make a plate.

Her mother followed her while the others went upstairs. "Hey so your sisters and I are going shopping tomorrow. Come with us and we will have a girls day."

Sara put the leftovers in the microwave. "I'd like that."

"9am sharp." Her mom walked out.

"Love you too mom" She muttered.

—-------------------------------------------------------------

Your family really made you watch seven kids? All under the age if seven?" Justin was in awe as they spoke later in the night. She was in the bathroom sitting on the tubs edge.

He saw how tired she was and no matter how many times he tried to lecture her to get some sleep she kept telling him she wanted to talk to him and the lack of sleep was worth it.

"Fuck I can't wait to see you Monday" She breathed. "It's been too long,"

Justin smirked. "Baby we are not leaving the bedroom when I see you."

She groaned. "I'm going to suck you dry."

He moaned. "Baby please."

"I'll have a home cooked meal and dessert on my body for you to lick off when you win."

"Okay we need to stop before I need to jerk off. I don't want to ruin it."

"Ruin what?"

"The first time I nut in you."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh please do not buy him that!" Katie protested as Sara threw the marshmallow launcher in the cart.

 They had woken up and gotten breakfast before mani and pedis. They were now shopping up and down the major streets. A few fans approached her asking for pictures and autographs. She did ask a few not to record her family as they walked down the street and said that she was taking no more autographs and pictures. She was sure the video would end up on some social media platform.

The guys were home with the kids and Uncle George and Aunt Willa. It was her, her mom, and sisters. It was nice to have the girl time, something they hadn't had in a while.

Sara laughed. "Hey I'm not the favorite aunt for no reason. Any gifts my nephews want that would piss you off I'm for sure getting them."

Brittany was looking at the maternity section, despite already having a bunch of maternity clothes. Cathy and Sara were looking at Christmas decorations. "Oh Sara you should get these nutcrackers for your fireplace in the basement."

They were ugly but Sara didn't want to tell her mother that. "Yeah ill think about it."

"Oh my god I have the best idea! How about for Christmas we have it by you!" It took a moment for Sara to realize her mother was talking about her. "Wait what?"

Katie chimed in. "Ooh that would be amazing! Enjoying the sun, going somewhere warm instead of dealing with the snow."

"The best part is Aunt Willa wouldn't go because she hates California." The girls laughed. "Oh girls that is terrible." Cathy tried to scold.

Sara smiled. "Please mom, that was one of the reasons you even suggested it." Cathy smiled into her coffee and she knew she was right.

They continued with their shopping. All of then laughing and gossiping. "Oh Sara so while we were out I was talking to Trevor." The girls groaned. "Mom he's gay-" Cathy cut off Brittany. "There is a chance! You can't turn gay after having a fiance! He's probably just hurt and confused.

Sara rolled her eyes. "And I'm supposed to be his rebound savior, Gee thanks mom."

"You two would he cute together and you grew up together. He always liked you."

" that's why he was silent while his friends bullied me and tortured me in high school. Yeah okay."

Cathy sighed. "I wished you would let that go. Also I don't appreciate how you spoke with Aunt Willa. I'm just trying to keep the peace."

"By letting her walk all over everyone okay." She pushed the cart ahead. Not wanting to have this argument. 

Still her mom pushed forward. "Sara I just want peace, and you always have to just start tension."

"Mom I don't want to talk about it. I promise I'll stay out of her way."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And she tried her best.

Saturday evening was okay. It seemed everyone was in good spirits and they devoured cookies and leftovers while watching Brent's team play in San Jose. They pointed out to Theo everytime they showed Brent on screen. 

Afterwards Ryan and Sara were in the basement and taught Charlie and Tristian the basics of piano. The rest of the family joined and while Sara played, they sang Christmas carols

It was a good night. Everything was going well.

Until Sunday.

During breakfast. Sara noticed Aunt Willa was on the phone probably with her daughter Kelsi, who was just as spoiled as her mother. Willa was upset that Sara couldn't hook Kelsi up with a modeling gig. First of all, Kelsi was not up to industry standards. Second, Kelsi was a PR nightmare. Sara didn't even follow her on socials because of the downright offensive posts she would share.

It just wasn't worth it.

She was quiet the rest of breakfast. But she was going her passive aggressive sighs.

It wasn't til lunch when George and Willa mentioned Kelsi's name

"Kelsi is in jail."

There was a gasp among the room. Sara could only roll her eyes. It wasn't that much of a surprise. This wasn't her first run in with the law.

"What is she in jail for? And how much is bail?"

Aunt Willa sighed. "Well this isn't her first run in and it is aggravated assault. But I'm sure there was a good reason."

Another eye roll from Sara. Her father sighed. "Well tell me the amount and I'll send it to you."

Sara couldn't hold back. "You got to be fucking kidding me?"

Everyone looked over at her in shock. Mike was glaring at her. "Sara."

"I'm just saying. Uncle George was just bragging about that new yacht he bought. Surely he can put up the money."

It just wasn't worth it.

She was quiet the rest of breakfast. But she was going her passive aggressive sighs.

It wasn't til lunch when George and Willa mentioned Kelsi's name

"Kelsi is in jail."

There was a gasp among the room. Sara could only roll her eyes. It wasn't that much of a surprise. This wasn't her first run in with the law.

"What is she in jail for? And how much is bail?"

Aunt Willa sighed. "Well this isn't her first run in and it is aggravated assault. But I'm sure there was a good reason."

Another eye roll from Sara. Her father sighed. "Well tell me the amount and I'll send it to you."

Sara couldn't hold back. "You got to be fucking kidding me?"

Everyone looked over at her in shock. Mike was glaring at her. "Sara."

"I'm just saying. Uncle George was just bragging about that new yacht he bought. Surely he can put up the money."

She could have sworn Aunt Willa wanted to jump across the table and strangle her. "That's what family does. You wouldn't know the definition because you don't appreciate yours. After everything your father does for you."

"Oh yeah, I paid for my own education, and got my shit together. Unlike your daughter."

Willa slammed her hand on the table. "Oh you think you are so brave for some little gig you got. You'd be some poor little pauper if it wasn't for that."

Sara was pissed. "Why the fuck are you here? Every year you and Uncle George come  here to cut everyone up. No one wants you here but they won't say it?"

Uncle George got involved. "You have some nerve little girl. My brother law did everything for you and you have a big mouth. If you were my kid I'd beat you black and blue."

Mike was silent during the whole exchange. Sara looked at him. "Come on dad I know she's your sister but she always does this! Cut everyone up and puts me down! For no reason!"

"Now listen you little bitch!" Cathy stood up, knocking over the glass. "Don't you call my child that you stupid little-"

Tristian walked up the yelling adults. "Uncle Brent told Aunt Sasa on the phone that Aunt Willa was a bitch.

Now shit hit the fan. Everyone started yelling. Sara began to walk away until Aunt Willa grabbed her wrist in front of her brother. "I told your brother having you was a mistake. You should have followed through with your attempt in high school"

Tears stung her eyes. She looked over at her dad who didn't say anything. "Really dad? That was supposed to be confidential? Aren't you going to say anything?"

Mike clenched his jaw. "You shouldn't have started it."

Her jaw dropped. She knew her dad was a pushover, but for this?

"You know what Mike? Since you never were around while I was growing up. You won't be around to see me get older either. Just forget about me." She ran downstairs and grabbed her bags. She did a quick search for everything. Grabbing her phone she was thankful that there were many ubers out and about. Seeing one coming down the street on the map she came upstairs.

Cathy walked towards her. "Sara please your father."

"I don't want to hear it. You can forget Christmas. " Aunt Willa was behind her. "You should have shut your mouth little girl. You maybe a Hollywood big shot now but you are always a attention seeking snot nosed brat "

"Shut up Willa you bitch." Cathy's attention turned towards her sister in law. Sara took that as her chance to escape.

Running outside, she hopped into the uber. Thankfully he was an older man who didn't seem go care if she was famous or not. 

Her sisters house faded away in the distance and Sara couldn't be more relieved. She was ready to get home and go to people who truly loved and cared about her.

Home to Justin.

A.N This is a heavy one, but its important for later on. Let me know what yall think!

Here are some of the major (and minor but interesting) ‘Teen Mom’-related things that happened over the last week or so…

Kail Lowry Says She’s Getting More Plastic Surgery; Wants Her Butt Reduced

Kail said she regrets letting Dr. Miami inflate her rear end with a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) years ago, and now wants to get the procedure reversed.

On Friday’s episode of her Barely Famous podcast, Kail talked about the plastic surgery she’s gotten over the years, including a tummy tuck, Lipo 360 and the BBL she had done live on Snapchat by Dr. Miami in 2016. She told her friend Bone that her posterior has grown too big for her liking.

“In January, I am going to start looking into surgeons for a butt reduction,” Kail said. “Because it is so outrageously big. It hurts, it’s uncomfortable, it doesn’t fit into anything.” 

Kail admitted that she was told when she had her 2016 BBL and other surgeries that if she gained weight post-surgery her butt would get bigger. (If you’ve managed to somehow block out the memories of Dr. Miami carving up Kail’s caboose live on Snapchat, allow The Ashley to remind you that Kail had the surgeries after her son Lincoln was born. She has gone on to have five more kids since then.) 

During the podcast episode, Kail told Bone that she is afraid to try to lose weight through diet and exercise.

“I don’t know how crazy [my butt] is gonna look if I start losing weight,” she said. “Is my butt going to sag? So I need it to be, like, surgically done.”

Back in June, Kail mentioned that her BBL results were less-than-stellar.

“I love plastic surgery,” Kail said on the Dumb Blonde Podcast. “The only regret I have is not waiting until I was done having kids. I had the Mommy Makeover after my second son and I could definitely go for another.”

She said of all her cosmetic procedures, her BBL has aged the worst. 

“I don’t love [my BBL]. I want it removed immediately,” she said. “Gravity is kind of pulling it down a little bit….Dr. Miami did mine and I asked him about it. He said when you gain weight, you’re going to gain wherever your fat cells are. He moved [fat cells] to my butt. My butt has grown exponentially.

“When I did the BBL and I did the Lipo 360 I wanted everything to match because I felt like, ‘I can’t have a huge butt and then have my waist be small and my arms big.’ So I had it in my arms. My butt and my arms have grown insane. But now what? I don’t know what I can do about it. Gravity pulls down your butt a little bit and it just looks crazy and I can’t find jeans that fit me.”

Kail said in June that she didn’t want to have any more surgery until she was (finally) done having kids. (She recently stated that she wants to get her tubes tied now that she’s birthed her twins— aka Babies No. 6 and No. 7.)

“I maintained it for a long time, but I got pregnant the same year that I got my Mommy Makeover. So that was my biggest mistake,” Kail said. “I should have had all the kids I wanted to have and then got it.”

Farrah Abraham Calls Out Jenelle Evans For Latest CPS Drama; David Eason Accuses Farrah of Letting Daughter “Tag Along” While “Tricking” 

Let the battle of bad parenting–- featuring fired ‘Teen Mom’ stars–- continue! 

Less than a week after fired ‘Teen Mom OG’ star Farrah Abraham and fired ‘Teen Mom 2’ star Jenelle Evans took swipes at each other over social media regarding their respective parenting decisions, the Backdoor Teen Mom and Lady of The Land are back at it. 

Farrah told TMZ this week that, while she’s basically nailing this whole parenting thing, she can’t say the same for Jenelle, given Jenelle (and husband David Eason’s) latest drama with Child Protective Services (CPS). 

“I am not shading Jenelle but I think ‘Teen Mom’ fans or haters still get it confused at where I am at in my life,” Farrah told TMZ in her signature “Farrah Speak” style. “There is other teen moms who have CPS issues, like Jenelle presently. I think we need to leave some of that CPS messy stuff out of my family and out of my dating dynamic. That definitely upsets me.

“I work very hard to be the best single parent that I can ever be,” Farrah said before seemingly taking a swipe at Jenelle’s decision to stand by David despite him being charged with child abuse recently. 

“I can’t say the same for others and their dating lives and the men they choose to date who seem to be abusive,” The Big F said. “I’m not welcoming that into my life at all.” 

As The Ashley previously told you, Jenelle and David are currently under CPS investigation; however, just last week, it was Jenelle who took to Instagram urging for a “welfare check” to be conducted at Farrah’s home.  

David was clearly not happy that Farrah spoke about the CPS situation he and Jenelle are currently dealing with. He fired off some talkin’ words in the comment section of TMZ’s Facebook post, claiming (just as Jenelle recently did) that it’s Farrah who CPS needs to be keeping a watchful eye on. 

“I think CPS would love to know why Farrah let her child tag along while she was allegedly escorting or ‘tricking’ as some would call it,” David wrote. “I call it prostitution but hey, I only know what I’m told by close sources.” 

David’s comments come just a week after Farrah (sort of) debuted the new man in her life on Instagram, which resulted in haters speculating within the comment section of her post that her new boo was actually a “John”. (Farrah recently denied the claims that she was a paid escort, stating in an interview that “there are no illegal activities going on in my life.”)

Still, several commenters on the post suggested that CPS be called on Farrah for allegedly leaving her teenage daughter at home alone on Thanksgiving while she was living in up in the Caribbean with her new man. 

As The Ashley told you last week, the comments ultimately inspired Farrah to fire off a(nother) dig at Jenelle, seemingly due to Jenelle’s familiarity with the agency. 

Farrah has yet to respond to David’s latest accusation. 

Nathan Griffith’s Ex Ashley Lanhardt Dodges the Bullet Ties the Knot

Ashley Lanhardt, ex-girlfriend of former ‘Teen Mom 2’ dad (and former swolemate of Jenelle Evans) Nathan Griffith, is officially married. 

Ashley and her husband, Richard “Lee” Runion–- who announced their engagement in November 2022–- were married in a ceremony last weekend held at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota, Florida. 

While Ashley mostly stayed out of the spotlight during her relationship with Nathan, fans of ‘Teen Mom 2’ may remember her appearing on a few episodes of the show. One of Ashley’s most memorable ‘Teen Mom 2’ moments happened during the Reunion taping in 2017, during which Ashley hugged Jenelle’s mom, Barbara Evans, resulting in Jenelle becoming enraged and causing a huge scene in the hallway backstage. 

The Ashley revealed in March 2021 that Nate and Ashley had gone their separate ways after more than three years of dating, with Ashley reportedly being the one who ended the relationship. While Nate initially denied that he and Ashley split, he went on to confirm the breakup four months later on social media. Nathan even gave a shout-out to the new man in Ashley’s life at the time. 

“He’s a very attractive guy,” Nate said. “Him and Ashley are together right now.” 

As of this week, Ashley and her man are together forever. 

Ashley spoke very HIGH! HIGH! highly of Lee in October while sharing a photo on social media of the two of them obtaining their marriage license. 

“ … I have never been more excited for anything in my life,” she wrote. “I can’t wait to marry this handsome man. God knew I needed him. I’m so grateful for such a patient, loving, reassuring person to spend my life with.” 

As The Ashley previously reported, Nathan has moved on from his long relationship with Ashley as well. Last year, he married May Oyola. However, it appears their on-and-off-again relationship may be “off” again, as May recently deleted all photos of Nathan off her Instagram account. In August, May and Nathan had celebrated their joint move to Las Vegas with a family photoshoot. (Those photos have since been deleted from May’s Instagram.)

Corey Simms Wins For ‘Teen Mom’ Dad of the Year

Ali Simms isn’t letting her Muscular Dystrophy stop her from doing anything she wants— and her dad, Corey, is right behind her to lend a helping hand, literally.

The ‘Teen Mom 2′ dad warmed fans’ hearts over the weekend when an Instagram video posted by his father, Jeff Simms, circulated the Interwebs. In the video, Ali (whose mom is Leah Messer) can be seen playing her clarinet with her school’s marching band during a holiday parade.

Ali, who usually uses an electric wheelchair to help her with mobility, was obviously unable to play the clarinet and use her hand to control the wheelchair, so her dad Corey stepped in to push her in a wheelchair during the parade.

“Corey has stepped up so much since they were babies; you can tell he’s had a great role model in Poppa Jeff,” one person wrote in the comment section of the video. “I’m glad she got to participate and if y’all don’t notice he’s perfectly in step with everyone else!”

“I’m so glad Corey was there, he sure is an awesome daddy,” another person wrote. “The girls are blessed to have him.”

Ali was diagnosed with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy in 2014. Last year, Leah posted an update to Instagram on Ali’s condition, following her bi-annual checkup with Ali’s specialist Dr. Tsao.

“All great things- [Dr. Tsao] sees more of an improvement than he ever has, mind & body,” Leah wrote on Instagram. “He said what he sees is remarkable because she seems a lot stronger… He gave a lot of credit to her love, hard work and dedication to reaching horseback riding goals that she sets for herself.

“Reflex is still the same but strength is better- pulmonary is better- weight and growth chart is better than it has ever been,” Leah wrote.

tags: 18+ minors dni, threesome, mxfxm, kuroo and kenma are bisexual, makeout scenes, virginity loss (kenma lol) kuroo enjoys being in control, humping (vague mention), brief handjob, (1) spank, corruption(kenma) short cuz i wanted to get some writing juices flowing there will be a part 2!

synopsis: kenma, having no experience turns to his best friends - his best friend since elementary school and his girlfriend to help teach him how to pleasure a girl.

Sometimes Tetsurou feels like he's the scum of the earth. when he was 10 and his volleyball hit Kenma’s nintendo ds he got for his birthday, he still swear that was the most terrifying glare that Kenma has ever given him. When he was 15 and it was the first arguments you had with him - his cold shoulder made you burst to tears after the 3rd day of you trying to get him to talk you. Tetsurou still feels guilty about that on bad days.

But this time, his scumminess isn’t caused by how he has wronged the two most important people in his life but rather watching them. Kenma had cashed in a favor - budding at 20 and still not had a girlfriend or any sort of experience he had called Tetsurou over for some advice,

One thing lead to another - and you his sweet, sweet girlfriend who tolerates all his stupidity and nonsense, like how you let him go through the phase where he put wasabi on everything to the point his tongue became numb, smiles and agrees to the favor presented with you. It’s 10:00 pm now, you and Kenma sit on the loveseat and he reclines on the sofa, he’s still in his work clothes, charcoal suit with a red tie halfway undone. A cigarette, unlit sits in-between his fingers and he watches you two with sharp eyes.

You and Kenma are as pretty as a picture, both of you delicate and cute - his allure for cute things bites him in the ass just as he bites his lip hard at the soft gasp he can hear when you press your lips to Kenma’s. His first kiss. You pull away as he gripes your wrist, anchoring you there next to him and chases after your lips. Tetsurou can’t blame him, your lips are soft and sweet, he could die peacefully after getting one kiss from you. There’s a hiss and a gasp, he can see a glint of tongue and he swallows see how your back arches into the kiss you share with him.

“You can touch her,” he says it like its choice, but he wonders if Kenma can hear the desperation to see more in his voice. He clutches the cigarette in his fingers and watches as Kenma’s hands go from your wrists to your waist, thin fingers press into the softness there with restrained greed. You are closer to the smaller man now, Kenma can smell your perfume, something sweet and kind - just like you. He can feel the warmth of your face and he goes back in for another sticky, wet kiss, Kenma, who’s sweet face and feline eyes wonders if you’ll be as wet somewhere else, his cock stiffens in his worn Nekoma sweats when you lean in, half on his lap and he whines when he feels the heat presses from the apex of your legs as climb into his lap with the grace of a pedigreed cat.

Your tongue is in his mouth, Kenma takes a gamble ; sucks on it like they do in those dirty manga he reads and you whine like a songbird, Tetsurou grips the armrest of the sofa, he can see it - the bump of Kenma’s cock pressed against your thin, skimpy shorts and he takes a deep breath, letting the cigarette drop as he feels something crawl up his back and sink into his skin, piercing his bones and settling into his spleen. Lust, that burns through his body at how you two make out - kissing and sucking and how the both of your hips twitch with the desire to hump what lies before the two of you. You two are obedient though, brown eyes darken to black at how you two don’t go further without his permission - the unsteadiness in both your bodies, the hands and hips and the short gasps of breaths tell him all he needs to know.

“Stop.” You pull from Kenma and look back at your boyfriend, lipos shining and eyes wide at the look in his eyes. Tetsurou sometimes can scare you, when he looks at you like prey, like something he wants to take a part and ruin but its as scary as it is exhilarating ; especially with Kenma in the fold tonight. Kenma looks near ruined beneath you, face red and his cock - he tucks his head to the side when he feels it leak in his boxers.

“Go to the bedroom and strip babe.” Tetsurou tells you and you bite your lip to hide your grin, someone is riled up. You nod and gently slide off Kenma’s lap, smiling apologetically when he whines out for you. With a teasing kiss you are gone down the corner of the hallway and he’s left alone with your boyfriend and his best friend, with a look on his face Kenma can’t decipher.

“Can I touch you?” Kenma shivers from down on the couch and he jumps at how...commanding his best friend has become right now. He nods and he lets him draw close, until he’s right next to him on the loveseat. Tetsurou lets his palm rest on Kenma’s thigh - yellow eyes bulging out of his skull when he sees the notable difference in size ; had Kuroo’s hands  always been that big?

“Kuroo-”

“Tetsurou. That’s what you’ll call me tonight, okay?” Kenma swallows and nods hurried when Tetsurou’s fingers make way to his crotch, settling right on the stiffened peak of his cock, letting his searing palm rub against it. He whines, nearly rutting into the all compassing heat, and he can hear his friend’s amused huff at the wanton display.

“You really are cute aren’t you..” He trails off, grinding the heel of his palm at the head of Kenma’s cock and chuckling at the gasp it produces. Tetsurou leans in close, presses a kiss to the shell of Kenma’s ear,

“When you get to the room, I’m going to teach you how to make a girl cum - I’ll teach you how to finger’em, lick their cunts and fuck them too, yeah? And you’re gonna be my cute little student and learn,” He grins darkly and Kenma shivers, thinks ‘how could you have survived this black cat all these years?’, “Then if you’ve been good I’ll let her suck you off and you get to cum. How’s that?”

Kenma’s head bobbles, nodding, agreeing, anything to show his compliance, his agreement - he wonders where his stray cat pride had gone now that he can only think about all the exciting pleasures he’ll experience tonight.

“Good boy.” Is all he hears before he makes his way to the bedroom, yelping when he feels the same warm palm crack at his ass and an amused laugh, the sting feels good - Kenma wonders what else awaits him tonight.

Trails of fire - Chapter 1

8 years prior

Zendaya and Chris are at the Beach, And are having a walk by the water.

"I'm so happy that we're getting married" she said

"Me too but I want to promise you something'

The stop walking and look each other in the eye.

"I promise to always love you, I promise to always be there for you, I promise to support you and to always make you happy"

"i promise the same thing, I love you"

"I love you too" he screamed, he then picked her up and started to twirl her around

------------------------------------------------------- 8 years prior - wedding day (vows)

"Chris would you like to say your vows" the priest asked

""As we start our married life together today, I make these promises before our families and friends:

I will continually challenge myself to become the best husband I can be; always looking to put you before myself and making your dreams our dreams.

I will love you; I will adore you; I will cherish you; I will be faithful to you.

I will be thoughtful and mindful in the way I act around other people, whether we are together or apart. I will always seek to give you no reason to be jealous over another person. music has always been a big part of our life and You will always be the greatest song I could and would ever sing.

I will trust you in all things, never doubting you, or looking for reassurance of things you have already promised me.

I will help you discover your full potential, pushing you to become the best you can be, to support and ensure your hopes and dreams come to fruition.

I will stand by your side in all things, the highs and the lows, always finding agreement in everything that we do as husband and wife.

I will keep God at the centre of our relationship and love you as Christ loves the Church." Chris said and wiped away her tears

"Zendaya would you like to say your vows?"

""I promise to be your faithful wife. I promise to love you when the sun shines, when the rain falls, in sickness, and in health. When you look at this ring, think of me and remember that I love you always."

"I promise to be the woman that I see now in your eyes, today, tomorrow, and for always."

"What is a wife? I must admit, I'm not sure. All I know is that I am devoted to you completely and am made a better person because of your love. wife then is a thing that a good marriage makes, molds, and creates whole. If that is what a husband/wife means, then I am prepared to be yours."

"I vow to always protect you from harm, to stand with you against your troubles, and look to you when I need protection."

"I take thee to be my wife and promise to look into your eyes just like I do now, with love and soulful amazement. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

"I promise to try to be worthy of your love in every way, to climb mountains, and swim oceans just to be by your side. I will be honest, caring, patient and forgiving, and I will always be a loyal wife."

"You fill my life with meaning. Thank you for taking me as I am, loving me, and welcoming me into your heart. I promise to always love you, respect you, and to be faithful to you forever."

------------------------------------------------------- present

"Chris you can't just leave like that" she yelled

" Daya i gotta go to this import meeting I will be back in 2 hours"

"no Chris I already told how busy I am gonna be, I literally have to leave in 15 min" she pointed out to him while following him to the door

"can't you call your mom, my mom or one of your sisters to watch the kids" he said while looking for his car keys

"no i cant they were all gonna be busy thats why I ask-"

"arrrghhhh" she yelled angry

"mommy are you okay" het 4 year old asked worried

"mom is fine why don't you go watch tv"

"okay mommy"

Zendaya went to the kitchen and picked up her phone and try to contact her dad but it went straight to voicemail

she didn't have a any other option and called everything off, she then went upstairs to change in her comfy clothes

before going downstairs she came across a picture of their wedding day

"is this really my life right now" she whispered to herself, she shook her head and went to the kitchen to make the kids some lunch

Pov Chris

I just finished my 4 hour meeting and now I got a call that I had to be in the studio to record a song.

"ay Chris good you came man" his producer said

"we gonna record something new?"

"no we gotta change a couple of sounds for this song on your album"

"alright man"

Chris went to the booth and put his headphones one and started to sing

"Whine up pon it to the rhythm (rhythm) Come a little closer, why you distant? (why you distant) All over my body, feel the friction (friction) Yeah, baby, it's me that's in your system (system) Kill it, girl, your body lookin' vicious (vicious) Meditating on you like a scripture (a scripture) Ain't at church but she pull up in them Christians Long time, I go love you like it's vintage

--------------------------- its 9 pm now and chris is still not back from his so called meeting. so her cousin came to check on her after work

"you want some wine" Daya asked

"yes please"

she poured the 2 of them some wine and sat down on the coach

"tell me why are you so upset, what wrong with you and Chris" her cousin asked

Daya took a long sip before she answered her question

"it has been a lot, and I don't feel happy right now in my marriage... we have been fighting like crazy, he always at work and comes home late and his excuse is that he was at a meeting. he always leave me with the kids like I had a couple of important meetings today and I had to cancel my whole entire day because he had to leave. so much has been going on I bet he doesn't even realize that I'm not happy."

"wow i didint even know that has been going on, have you tried counseling or just talking it out with each other"

"we don't even talk like that anymore, I don't understand what happened to us, one moment we was happy and the next thing I know all we do is fight" she said as she started to cry

her cousin placed her glass on the table and went to give her a hug

"listen, yall need to talk to each other and tell each other what y'all need and figure out where it went wrong in y'all marriage. you both can't continue to do this to each other and remember they kids need both sets of parent that love each other. do you still love him?"

"I do....without a doubt but he is just not making me happy right now"

"well then focus on the that, that you love him and when you do talk tell him what you need from him and you both should fix whatever is going on in y'all marriage that isn't healthy for you, him and the kids"

"okay i will" she said and took a deep breath

a couple of hours later her cousin left, so she started to clean up a bit so she could go to bed.

while she walked to the steps she saw the piano and decided to play a song that come in to her mind

"Where did we go wrong?

Is it all my fault? Where did we go wrong? Is it all my fault?

From the very start I was so into you Ooh from the beginning I was so so feeling you But you thought I cheated, that I played around on you But didn't you do the same, didn't you, didn't you?

Where did we go wrong? Is it all my fault? Where did we go wrong? Is it all my fault?

I wish I would've listened I wish I would've heard

Ooh I wish I would've touched you baby I wish I would've said the words That I love you, I love you I love you I love you, I love you"

"that was beautiful" he said

"how long have you been standing there"

"when you started to sing"

he walked to the piano and sat next to her

"I'm sorry I'm late I-"

"was at the studio.. mhh hum I know" she said dry looking at him

"baby what wrong" he said while trying to touch her shoulder

"really Chris don't baby me, you really don't know whats wrong" she looked at him like he was dumb

"no"

"wow Chris..you know what don't even bother im going to bed" she stood up from the stool and walked up the stairs

he watched her walk up the steps and then looked at the picture on the piano

"what happened to us" he whispered to himself

Murray, I have asked you repeatedly not to call me "woman".

A NOTE FROM ADMIN R: Oh, oh, oh ! Y’all don’t know how happy I am to be accepting this application. Dylan is truly one of my CHW faves and to have her taken up by you, Cailin... that’s just an honor. I can not wait to see what you do with her, but I know one thing... this dash ain’t ready fro the looks Dylan is about to serve us. Thank you so much for applying and welcome back, love !

OOC NAME/ALIAS, PREFERRED PRONOUNS, AGE & TIMEZONE:

cailin, (she/her), 25, est

DESIRED CHARACTER:

queen mother, dylan davenport

HOW ACTIVE WILL YOU BE?

SECONDARY CHOICE:

taylor flick

DESCRIBE THE CHARACTER:

Dylan is shrouded in beauty, bold fashion choices, witty comebacks, and her daddy’s debit card. But the woman wearing the Amina Muaddi heels to 7/11 is much more interesting than her out of this world clothes. If Chanel’s head is in the clouds, Dylan’s feet are planted on the ground. She’s the fuel to the fire, the one who gets shit done. Things don’t move without her — and that includes the fashion scene in Rosewood. Dylan could’ve been a surgeon, she has the brains and attention to detail for it, but, you see, what Dylan says or doesn’t say goes. She predicted high waist jeans making a comeback before Vogue did, telling the girls one day during first period. So she’s a bit of a culture oracle. It’s why people care about what she’s thinking, who she’s endorsing, what designers she’s buying. They even want to know what she’s watching on a monday night. Her confidence and sincerity is inspiring. When she’s not taste making though, she’s the loyalest, most straightforward friend you can find in her tax bracket. Balancing the thin line between being no-nonsense and fun to be around. She does it well, though. In fact, she does most things well (driving not included.)‌ Her peers boast about her style and charisma, her professors brag about her work ethic and creativity, her boyfriend….well, her love life is a tumultuous roller coaster but every icon needs a fixer upper. Plus she gets diamonds every time he fumbles.

SAMPLE WRITING:

( Alexa, play Daddy )

The day Dylan was born she became a daddy’s girl. Stevie Wonder could see it. Dada was her first word much to her mother’s chagrin. He never raised his voice at her, never got impatient with her when she spilled her juice or threw her food. He got up in the middle of the night so his wife wouldn’t have to even though he had meetings at 7 in the morning. It didn’t stop there, though. Mr. Davenport didn’t put her down at parties. He carried her around on his hip as he mingled and held court, demanding on no one use baby talk for his brilliant baby girl. “She’s smart like her mom.” He would say to his captivated audience. For her third birthday he rented out an entire amusement park. It didn’t matter that she wasn’t yet tall enough to ride the rides, she had asked for it so he made it happen. He was a doer and a fixer, but he wasn’t perfect. Mr. Davenport had always been a better father and provider than a husband.

So, when she was five, her parents went through a nasty divorce. The papers their lawyers drew up cited irreconcilable differences but she’d come to realize, many years later, that was just how rich people skirted around the truth in hopes of keeping people out of their business. In truth, Mr. Davenport had spent the better part of his career sleeping with secretaries, temps, and clients. Basically anything that was of age and not nailed down. Mrs. Davenport had only grown tired of it after watching Halle Berry cry over Eric Benet  on Oprah. But like she’d taught  Dylan, Mrs. Davenport thought three steps ahead, and had arranged to have a cheating clause in their prenup. She saw the board before she’d even stepped foot on it. And, Sure, they’d been in love when they got married at twenty three, but a cheater never changed its spots, just his lies. In an instant, she got half of everything. Twenty percent of his future earnings, and 360 lipo for a girls trip to Maui to celebrate her emancipation.

All Dylan got out of the deal was two houses, two birthdays, two Christmases, two cars she still couldn’t drive when she turned sixteen. The court awarded them joint custody, ruling they both had enough sense to figure out the schedule on their own. But since that was the year her mom went back to school for her PhD, Dylan spent the majority of her time with her dad and a nanny. Those double holidays also served as a good distraction from the heartbreak she couldn’t explain. Though she was sharp as a whip and actually funny, not laugh because it’s a kid funny, but really funny, she still couldn’t wrap her little mind around why her parents drove to separate houses at the end of the night now. At all those parties, what stuck out the most was everyone saying what a handsome couple they were, how lucky they were to have another. They danced and laughed. They seemed so happy. But looks are deceiving and lucky for her, the loneliest year of her young life was also the year she met her best friend.

( Alexa, play Wannabe )

Dylan and Chanel became an instant package deal, and she thanked her father for not being able to keep his dick out of seedy holes because she wouldn’t have went to school in another district if her mom hadn’t won the house in the divorce, and she wouldn’t have sat down next to Chanel at show and tell, and they wouldn’t have bonded over their pretty dresses, or shared their organic apple juice. God worked in mysterious ways like that. She had a partner for life, and nothing came between them. Not even boys. And, despite having the power to date any eligible bachelor in her grade, she really liked one in particular.

The day she brought Paxton home her took one look at him and chuckled. Dylan figured it was because of the grill he hadn’t learned to talk without slurring with yet, but her mother had other ideas. “He reminds me of your father.” She said, long after he’d gone home, but not before Dylan spent fifteen minutes walking him to his car. The driveway was super long but her lipstick was nonexistent when she returned. That didn’t matter though, because Dylan knew what that meant. Her mom thought Paxton was charming, likable, handsome — but she also knew he was a liar and a dog. They argued for well over an hour, and she said some things she regretted but that’s what teenage girls did, they rebelled against becoming their mother all while doing so. She didn’t realize just how much he was like her father until she caught him DMing other girls on instagram and got a diamond necklace out of the deal. Still, it was clear that he could shoot a man in broad daylight and she would always be daddy’s little girl, nothing could change that.

“Daddy!” Dylan whined, clinging to her dad’s arm as they traipsed through another commercial property with their real estate agent. Today was the day she was finally going to buck up and switch locations from her dad’s pool house to an office space in scenic, downtown Rosewood. Being interviewed by magazines had been life changing, sitting front row of the hottest runways next to A-listers had its perks, doing a skincare routine video for vogue was dope, but expanding her business because the calls wouldn’t stop coming in to be styled be Dylan and her associates? That was something she’d done herself from the ground up. She’d started with styling her friends and now she was going to style the world.

( Alexa, play Successful )

Her heels were tall enough to greet God but she still only reached his shoulder. “I hope this one has vaulted ceilings.” Her tone was way past passive aggressive. She would’ve dialed it back had their agent not been set to make serious bank off of this, but had only been showing them office spaces with disgusting lighting and rude doormen. For all of their sakes, she hoped this one was better. “I need two sessions of hot yoga after the last mess you showed us, at least. My chakras are all out of wack now. Thanks a lot, A.” She was being dramatic but her dad didn’t stop her. He just smiled that infamous smile at the agent and excused himself to the back of the elevator to take a call. Dylan rolled her eyes when she caught their real estate agent, Angela, fawning. She was a slender woman with the proportion of a fashion model who only modeled in theory, never practice. With cropped hair and full lips. She’d been their families real estate agent for decades, found the house her mom had one in the divorce, but Dylan couldn’t shake the feeling that she’d slept with her dad while he was married to her mom, and for that she hated her.

The light dinged to signal they were at their floor, and the elevator doors slid open. When she bothered lifting them from a lengthy text she was typing to her beau, her eyes lit up like when her dad gifted her a patek for her eighteenth, or the G-Wagon that was still collecting dust in the garage for her sixteenth. Whatever the occasion was, she was aglow just like then. The floors were European oak, all the walls were white sans a charcoal accent wall that would be the space of her future desk, and yes, the ceilings were vaulted with windows to match. It was beyond.

“Daddy!” She squealed, running around the space and dreaming up renovation ideas. “This is the one. It’s, like, perfect.” Dylan ignored the real estate agent when she repeated the price tag. 1.2 million may have been a lot for some people, but some people weren’t his little girl and Angela should have known that by now. “Wait. I need to call Chanel!”‌ Dylan could bet she’d be calling Chanel the day Play got down on one knee ( What?‌ A girl could dream ) before she even said yes. She was greeted with a selfie when she unlocked her phone, tapping her chanel platform sneaker clad foot against the wood while the facetime call connected, “What do you think about staining the floor another color?” She asked before absolutely beaming when Chanel’s face appeared on the screen.

“I found it! I found the perfect space.”‌ Without another word, she flipped the camera and did a little dance when Chanel’s excitement nearly exceeded hers. She knew a squeal of absolute glee when she heard one, “I know! Ok, so Just imagine a chaise here, we can install some shelves here. Do you think we can get a Prosecco fountain?…” She walked her through the office like Angela had done moments before, moving out of earshot so her dad could handle business, while they discussed all the possibilities. “Today an office with a view, tomorrow Dylan Davenport’s Fashion Academy,” she beamed.

All her daddy had to do was sign on the dotted line, and she knew he would. He was, after all, her doer. He wouldn’t dare break that illusion…right? The journey from the bathroom back to the main area of the office space was a short one, and she was all smiles until she rounded the corner only for her dream to turn into a nightmare. Her face cracked along with the screen of her phone as it hit the ground and shattered, “DADDY!” She screamed. The sight of her dad and Angela kissing over paperwork causing her to gag instantly.

“Honey, let me explain…..”

There was nothing to explain. Horrible step parents was Jasper’s lane, not hers.

PROTECTIVE DAD MARIO MANDŽUKIĆ DRABBLE.

DESCRIPTION: when mario’s son, marko, is bullied in school, mario becomes an overly protective dad who teaches his son how to fend for himself. some daddy mario fluff, sexy times with mario and his wife, and heartwarming friendship between mario and luka modrić.

word count: 4,326

as always, thank you to @vatreniworld for coaching me through this, giving me ideas, and always being so supportive about my fics and ideas. love you.

please like & reblog!

“I’m so sorry, miš.”

You dabbed a warm cloth over your son’s forehead, soothing the red scrape descending from his hairline. While he still refused to tell you where he got it from, it doesn’t take long for you to put two and two together after he’d taken a photograph of himself and his friend, Tommy, off the picture wall.

Marko glanced at you for a moment, his large blue eyes that he’d inherited from you on the verge of welling with tears, before he pushed away your hand and sat down in a huff. “No more,” he whispered gently.

You heard the garage doors open and silently cursed to yourself. Mario wouldn’t be happy – he was incredibly protective of your son and you knew that it would take him less than two seconds to figure out that Marko had been involved in a fight at school. “Daddy’s home,” you said to Marko, attempting to cheer him up, but his eyes did not stray from the floor. “Let’s go say hi.”

You lifted your five year old onto your hip and waltzed into the living room. The door swung open a moment later, and Mario, hauling groceries, called out, “I’m home!”

Marko instinctively buried his head into your shoulder, wincing only slightly as his scrape brushed against you. You made a mental note to apply Neosporin to it later, although you knew it would be an inevitable argument. “Hi, sweetie,” you said to Mario. “Need help with those?”

“No, no, I’ve got it,” Mario assured. He walked toward you, en route to the kitchen, his movements slowing as he neared you and eyed the red swell on his son’s forehead. “What happened?” He set the bags down and walked closer to Marko.

Marko squeezed his eyes shut, his nose turning pink with embarrassment. You knew that your son wanted to be strong for his dad; Mario was always trying to kick a ball with him, but all he wanted to do was construct legos and read about dinosaurs. Mario tried to engage with him, talk about cars and sports, but Marko’s interests were far from that. He was quiet, like his father, but other than that he was nothing like his father, and you feared that would drive a wedge between them when he was older. “Poor little guy fell on the playground,” you explained, gently patting Marko’s back, “Ms. Marić called me at work and so I picked him up early.”

“You fell?” Mario asked, bending down briefly to graze his lips against your cheek in greeting.

Marko nodded shyly, barely glancing at his father, before squeezing you and murmuring something indecipherable about being tired.

Mario looked at you, obviously searching for the right words to say, or the right thing to do. If Marko was more like him, it would be so much easier, and you could feel his eyes practically pleading. You smiled sympathetically at him and adjusted Marko on your waist.

“Why don’t you go put those away,” you gestured to the groceries, “and Marko and I will go run a bath? Hmm? Sound like fun?” Marko remained quiet. “It’ll be fun.”

Marko at last grumbled, “Okay.”

“Atta boy,” Mario declared proudly.

-

The next week passed by uneventfully. Mario was away in Turin for five days for a press conference, and Marko returned to school. When Mario was away, you employed a nanny (who Marko loved) to make his lunch and pick him up after classes, and this allowed you to work freely on a recent proposal your boss expected you to finish by the end of the quarter – which was a ridiculous suggestion, by the way, for the mom of a rambunctious five-year old and the wife of a football player. But, as all things, you made it work.

You were typing away at your desk when your phone chimed, and Marko’s nanny, Eliza, graced the screen. It was 3:10, which meant she had just picked your son up from classes and he was probably wanting to talk to you. As sure as rain, when you picked up the phone Marko was on the other end, babbling nonsense before he realized you picked up. “Mamica!”

“Hi, miš. How was school today? Any yellow cards? Any red?”

“No, none! I promise. We’re having a party tomorrow.”

“Oh, how exciting,” you commented, a beam forming on your lips. He sounded so happy. Rarely did he get so excited about things, that you immediately wished Mario was here to hear it, and your heart tightened in your chest. “Who’s it for?”

“Tommy’s birthday is tomorrow. He’s turning six before the rest of us. That means he will die before the rest of us.”

You gasped, chiding him in your best stern voice, “Marko Mandžukić. I don’t want to hear those words out of your mouth ever again. Are you listening to me? There will be serious consequences.”

How could you even begin to punish him? Turn off his National Geographic subscription? Refuse to let him read Web MD when his throat was sore?

“Yes, mamica.” Marko quieted for a moment before rattling on gleefully. “Ms. Marić said we need to bring cupcakes tomorrow for the party.”

You tapped your pen against your keyboard, thinking for a moment, wondering how you could possibly wedge baking into your jam packed schedule, and in last minute fashion. You would make it work; you had to. “Why don’t you ask Eliza to help you make some? I can pick up ingredients on my way home.”

“Eliza is making dinner, she says. She’s making duck.”

“Oh, wonderful! You know, that’s daddy’s favorite. You should call him to tell him that; he’d love to hear your voice while he’s away.”

“But, mamica,” Marko protested in all seriousness, “you know we can’t have duck. You know what they do with the ducks. They fatten the ducks with plastic tubes in their throat. It’s an abob–mini–nation!”

You could only stare blankly in response – how on Earth did he know all this? Surely Mario didn’t tell him. You would have to monitor what he was researching on the computer. And you’d have to tell Mario to stop using the word ‘abomination’ so liberally.

“The ducks have a liver disease called lipo–ma–tosis and can’t walk!”

“I–Marko,”  you were still mustering up a response when your asshole-of-a-boss charged into your office, his brows raised in expectation. Suddenly, remembering the board meeting you were likely late to, you stood to your feet and shifted things around on your desk, feigning work. “Marko, honey, mamica has to run. I’ll see you tonight at six. Be nice to Eliza! I love you!”

The phone clicked off in response.

-

The kitchen counters were still covered in flour and sprinkles the next morning when you received a call from Marko’s teacher. Mario was expected home any minute, so you were cleaning haphazardly and hardly noticed your phone ringing. You raced after it, rummaging it out of your purse, and answered it breathlessly, “this is [y/n] Mandžukić, hello?”

“Hello Mrs. Mandžukić. It’s Elena Marić from your son’s school. I’m calling on behalf of an incident we had this morning – is this, is this an appropriate time? You sound... winded.”

“I’m sorry–yes. I’m cleaning. How can I help you, Ms. Marić? Is everything all right? Did Marko’s classmates enjoy the cupcakes we–he–made?”

“Well, I’m afraid that’s a complicated answer. Mrs. Mandžukić, are you aware of the issue between your son and Tommy?”

“Issue? I know they had a falling out last week, but, with all due respect, they’re five. I’m certain the issue has been brushed under the carpet by now.”

“Afraid not. There was a heated exchange and Tommy tried to swing at Marko today, after Marko implied that he was adopted. I think you should come and pick Marko up as soon as possible.”

-

Mario sat across from his son in the living room, silence descending between the pair. They shared the same lips, nose, and hair – but apart from that, there was nothing but blood linking them together. Mario was sitting partially hunched over, his hands folded in between his knees, heel bouncing nervously. His son, on the other hand, was sitting neatly – one knee crossed over the other, his hands cradled over his lap, lips slightly pursed and brows knitted.

There was one thing they shared: even at five, Marko’s look of concentration was exactly like his father’s.

Due to the argument that broke out between Marko and Tommy, it was advised that Marko remained home from school for the rest of the week out of remediation. His teacher would send over assignments and lessons electronically, but he wasn’t to return until Monday and that meant, since you had to work, that Mario would stay home with him. And he promised you that he would have a stern talking-to with Marko to resolve the issue.

“Tell me about what happened at school,” Mario began, opening the issue and praying there wasn’t a deeper one beneath. It wasn’t that he didn’t have a sympathetic bone in his body, but he didn’t always know how to access it – and his attempts to very rarely appealed to Marko.

Since birth, Marko had always been on the smaller side (in the thick of a heated dispute, Mario had even asked if you slept with Luka). He was shorter and more sensitive than kids his age, whereas Mario had been a ringleader; taller and more athletic than his age group. He’d inherited his father’s looks, save for his light eyes, but his height was all yours, and throughout his childhood he remained a tiny little mouse, hence the pet name. Perfect for cuddling, but it made him a prime target for bullying and–well–needless to say, Marko wasn’t like other boys at his school.

He struggled being a misfit, and struggled to find his place in his athletic, charismatic, and loud family.

Marko sniffed and turned his nose up, curiously, “Why?”

“Because,” Mario drew out, “when I get a call from Ms. Marić telling me you’re ‘antagonizing’ other students, it’s my job to get to the bottom of it.”

“I don’t want to talk about it.” Marko crossed his arms over his chest and glanced away. The reflection of the windows played in his stormy-gray eyes.

“Fine.” Mario leaned forward and tapped Marko’s knee, “What’s his name, then?”

He glanced up at his father with wide eyes. Surprised, and perhaps a little relieved, if he was being honest, that his father was so in touch with exactly what he was thinking. Marko knew he couldn’t hide it for long. “Tommy Erlić.”

“Tommy Erlić,” Mario repeated.

“How did you know?”

“I’ve been there.”

Impressionable shock crossed Marko’s features. “You’ve been to the Jurić Day School?”

“Um, no. Metaphorically. Son, you’re going to have to stand up to Tommy eventually. Is that how you got–this?” He pointed to the fading reminder of the scrape from last week.

He nodded slowly. “But what if I don’t want to? Mommy says not to fight.”

“Then he will kick your ass. Mommy doesn’t know what it’s like to be a boy, does she?”

He shook his head, his long brown hair shifting to the side. “He’s bigger than me and does karate,” Marko explained. “And he called me a bad word.”

Mario’s abdomen was in knots. He liked kids–most of the time, anyway–but he wasn’t above cursing out a six year old if they dared to hurt his son. He tried not to show it, but within him his tendencies to protect and to be concerned were flaring up, and he wondered who this son of a bitch’s parents were.

His brows descended over his dark eyes, “You don’t have to actually fight him. Intimidate him, make him think that you could fight him. If you’re the wild-card, the one who stands up for himself, no one will want to mess with you.”

“Really?” A small flicker of hope wove through Marko’s voice. That he could try.

“Really,” Mario said, his voice sincere. He was glad that Marko trusted him, glad that he’d gotten through, somehow. “Come here. Give your dad a hug and we’ll go out for lunch.”

“Maybe another time,” Marko murmured, again dejected.

Mario’s spirits fell at once.

“Hey, dad?”

They rose again, for a half-second.

“Yes, Marko?”

“Can we get a telescope for my birthday? One of those with the tripods and high-tech apertures?”

Marko’s interest went way over Mario’s head, although he attempted to show interest. Attempted, being the key word. “What for? Your birthday isn’t until May.”

“So… I can look at the stars?”

“Do you think you can make a missile to go to the moon?”

“Space exploration is strictly for professionals. Didn’t you hear about the Challenger? It blew up!”

Mario bit his lip. “I’ll talk to your mom about it, kid.”

-

“I think I’ll take Marko to school on Monday. I’ll pick him up after school and take him to my sister’s to play with their kids.”

You set your hairbrush down on the desk of your vanity and glanced at Mario in the mirror, your head canting to the side. You weren’t surprised necessarily, Mario loved his son, but he didn’t always take the initiative in parenting. He was currently sprawled out across the velveteen duvet spread over your bed – all long limbs and muscular torso – reading a magazine, his brown hair a disheveled mop on his head, wide eyed and bushy tailed after a week of not working.

Trying to conceal a smile from displaying too overly on your features, you nodded. “All right. I’ll text Eliza not to come then.”

“Good,” he mused absent mindedly. “I think we need to take him to the park more. Maybe that one near the training centre. You think he’d like that?”

“The park? As in, swing sets and slides? He might complain about ‘bacteria’, but, sure.”

“That’s true.” Mario pressed his mouth into a thin line, “It’s good for him to be active, maybe pet a dog.”

“What brought this on?” You rose to your feet and crawled onto the bed, sliding into the space next to him and reaching out to card a hand through his untamed hair. “He pets Leni plenty. Too much, by all accounts.”

“I don’t know.” Mario shrugged, “I want him to have a childhood like I did.” A beat of silence lapsed, and what you were both thinking remained unspoken, hanging in the air. A childhood like he had, without the war. “Open air, the beach, freedom, being with friends. I’ll teach him how to throw a football, and we’ll watch the Juventus game. He can’t be so worried about ‘bacteria’ all the time. You know, he told me he thinks he’s a hypochondriac. How does he know what that is?”

“That sounds really nice, Mario.” You smiled, squeezing his arm, “he’d love to spend more time with you.”

“Really?” Mario rose a brow, his voice undoubtedly hopeful.

“Really. He talks about you all the time – you’re his hero.”

“Does he wear my jersey?” He asked animatedly. “With our name on it?”

“All the time.” You nearly rolled your eyes at him, albeit playfully. He took pride in his son’s admiration of him, but Marko wearing his jersey obviously took the cake.

“He’s a good kid. I can’t imagine us–you and I–without him.” He pointed between the two of you.

“I’m glad you think so. He is, after all, our son and there’s no getting rid of him now.” You glanced at him wryly and he shot you a deadpanned look.

“You think that’s funny?”

“A tad bit.”

Mario rose on his elbows and caged you beneath him, nipping lightly at the pale skin of your shoulders. “Tell me if you think this, is funny…”

-

On Monday morning, Mario woke up early, made a pot of coffee, and gently stirred Marko awake to get ready for school. Marko groaned, furling his nose the same way you did when Mario woke you up on Sundays to kiss you goodbye, and Mario had to smile at the small similarity as he tugged the covers off his son and sent him to the bathroom to wash up. “And don’t think about falling asleep in there. I’m coming to check on you in five minutes,” Mario ordered, tapping the expensive watch secured on his wrist.

“Okay, dad,” Marko yawned irritatedly.

When Mario returned in five minutes, Marko was standing on his step stool, brushing his teeth in the mirror and humming a nursery rhyme to make sure he brushed for at least two minutes. An idea leaped into Mario’s head, and as ‘Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star’ came to an end he opened one of the drawers in Marko’s vanity and rummaged for a jar he knew he stowed in there a few months ago. When he located it–a fresh bottle of hair gel–he turned to his son and displayed it on his hand proudly.

“What’s that?” Marko asked nosily.

“Hair gel. Turn around and I’ll make your hair like dad’s.”

Marko glanced askant at Mario’s hair. It was always so spiky–and the gel made it… crunchy. He didn’t want his hair, that was soft and shiny, to look like that. But he simply shrugged compliantly and turned around so his dad could brush his hair upward, and secure it with at least twenty dime-sized globs of gel that smelled like mint and cough syrup.

When he finished, Marko gazed at his reflection in the mirror and his eyes widened in surprise–he looked exactly like Mario’s mini me, save for his eyes of course. And suddenly, all the times strangers had come up to them and said, ‘you look so alike!’, finally made sense.

Mario was satisfied with the results and grinned joyously, expecting praise. “Good? You like it?”

“I like it, dad,” Marko assured. “Maybe you could teach me how you do it?”

-

“Remember what I told you,” Mario said, crouching down on his knees to hand Marko his lunchbox. They were standing just outside of Marko’s school, and he was itching to rush inside and start on today’s science project, but not before his dad reminded him of the advice he’d given him last week. “You’re the wildcard, and this Tommy kid? He’s got nothing on you. No one’s going to mess with a Mandžo. Repeat after me.”

“No one’s going to mess with a Mandžo,” Marko reiterated in a tiny, timid voice.

Mario shook his head, unconvinced. “No. Give me more confidence. No one’s going to mess with a Mandžo.”

Marko gripped the lapels of his backpack and repeated after his dad, this time unflinchingly, “No one’s going to mess with a Mandžo.”

“Good boy.” Mario grinned and gave him a fatherly squeeze, “have a nice day at school. Be good. No yellow cards.”

Marko nodded, running into his dad's arms before the bell rang and he scurried into class with all the confidence in the world.

-

The minute Mario stepped onto the field, all the stress that had been mounting within him peeled right off like a bandaid and fell to the wayside.

Mario was ecstatic to be back with his national team, and the fading priorities in their own distinct clubs allowed them to gel together better than ever. Some might’ve thought that the enormity of their World Cup win meant they were nervous, anxious to override their own success, but that was far from the truth. They were a well-oiled machine, primed and geared to bring home the glory for Croatia.

The stress of work, family, the unsurety of their successes and losses, it all seemed to evaporate into thin air after his cleats grazed against the lush green beneath him as he joined his team mates in a sprint. The voices in his head cheered him on, coached him, and even frustrated him, but there was no denying he was right where he wanted to be. If only you and Marko where there to watch him.

“You seem happy, man.” Luka commented, joining Mandžo in a brisk jog.

“I am,” Mario echoed, “everything seems to be falling into place, you know? Work, family, all of us.”

“You’re lucky – most people would kill to have it figured out.”

“Figured out? No,” Mario chuckled, shaking his head. “We’re not like you and Vanja. You two are perfec–”

“And have the same issues as everyone else. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You and [Y/N] are doing a great job at this whole ‘adult’ thing.”

“It’s bullshit, isn’t it?”

Zlatko blew his whistle, and Dejan called out to them, “get your head in the game, pičkice! You think we’re going to win if you two keep flirting like that? Get a room!”  

“Why don’t you try fucking a woman before coming after me, hey, Lovren?” Mario shot, sprinting backward toward the field as he and Modrić dissolved into laughter.

Practice ensued for another hour and a half of taxing routine, occasionally interjected by Domo or Šime’s wild antics, as Dalić coached them through a series of drills that were progressively more invasive and difficult. Mario was wiping the sweat off his brow, the harsh Croatian sun beating down on his tanned skin, when Lana, one of the interns at the stadium, approached him apprehensively.

“Mr. Mandžukić?” She cleared her throat nervously.

Mario lowered the water bottle in his hand and rose a brow, wondering what she could want. “Yeah?”

“There’s someone here for you. They said it’s an emergency.”

“Who is it?”

“Why don’t you come with me?”

-

“Marko? What are you doing here? Where’s your mother, is she all right?”

Marko was sitting in the reception room, his head hanging low and his shoulders hunched.

“I found this little guy walking around in the parking lot,” Lana explained, “so I gave him some water and told him to wait in here for you.”

“Thank you, Lana. Could you give us a few minutes alone?”

“Of course. Take as long as you need. I have your wife on speed dial, should I call her?”

“N-no,” Marko managed to sputter out, his voice watery. “Please?”

Mario considered calling you for a split second before he waved away the offer.

Lana nodded and silently walked into the hallway that led to the interns’ offices.

Mario bended on one knee in front of Marko, placing his hand on his leg and glancing at his face. Though Marko was obviously hiding from him, he couldn’t conceal the bruise on his temple and the large split on his bottom lip. It took all Mario’s might not to let the rage bubbling inside of him to overspill and scare Marko, but his injuries had ‘Tommy’ written all over them.

“Marko, what’s going on? What happened? Tell me.”

His voice was devoid of any leniency. Although he was concerned for his son, he wanted to get to the bottom of things, and fast.

“Tommy,” Marko supplied, confirming his father’s suspicions. “I was at recess and did what you said. He was there. I started acting crazy.”

The knife lodged in Mario’s gut turned and ripped apart his insides. Had his advice hurt his own son? Guilt washed over him like a tidal wave, rendering him unable to speak or utter a single word. The sun illuminated Marko’s bruises and Mario felt a mere husk of the man he was.

“Miš, your face…” Mario grazed his fingertips against his son’s chin and lifted his face so that he could get a better look at the extent of his injuries. Although he made certain to be extremely gentle, Marko still let out a tiny hiss.

“He punched me and threw me into the pond and then smacked me again. He didn’t care that I was crazy. And then I got in trouble.”

“I’m going to call your mother. Your school is over a half hour away from here, how did you get here?”

“No, you can’t call her. She’ll get mad.”

“She’s not going to get mad at you, miš. You did nothing wrong. You did what I told you to do.” ‘I’m sorry’ rested on the tip of Mario’s tongue, although he bit down on the impulse, hard enough that he could taste blood invading his mouth.

Marko remained quiet for a beat. He then rolled up the sleeves of his jacket, revealing his cut up knuckles. Mario winced.

“I punched him back.” He sniffed and wiped at the moisture forming in his eyes. “Daddy, you have to take me home. Take me home, please.”

“Marko, why did you come here?” Mario tilted his head, gazing at his son, “why didn’t you call your mother?”

“Because I thought you would be proud of me.”

Unable to bear the hammering of his heart, Mario pulled his son into a tight hug. He wouldn’t let him go – never again. Marko molded to his figure, wrapping his arms around his shoulders and burying his head into the crook of his father’s neck, content to be held. The cadence of his heart began to slow against Mario’s chest, and his eyes shut drowsily. He felt safe, protected. There was nothing more comforting than his father’s arms around him, ensnaring him into the warmest hug he’d ever received.

After a few minutes had passed, Mario stood up and offered his son his hand. Although Marko quickly slipped his smaller fingers into Mario’s, he glanced up at the man curiously, tentatively. “Where are we going?”

“I’m taking you home. We’re going to get you cleaned up and put some ice on your lip.”

Marko nodded, slightly afraid of what his mother’s reaction would be, but overall trusting of his father. “Daddy, can I say hi to Uncle Luka first?”

“Of course you can.” He cocked his head toward the stadium, “let’s go, mini me.”

Let me know if you would like to be added or removed from the tagging system.

ursula’s plastic surgery transformation revised and extended.

so a while ago i did a post on the plastic surgery procedures that ursula would get done after she gets out of jail, and how much it would all cost. and then i thought, well, since kylie jenner spent $2 million on HER plastic surgery, isn’t $128,900 a little……underwhelming? can’t the derosiers be so much more extra? and then i remembered i had her undergo a magical transformation as well as a scientific one. and thus, this post was born.

i want to start off by saying by conventional beauty standards, ursula is fairly unattractive. i here, you can see for yourself. she has smallish, beady eyes with her left eye spaced further away from her nose than her right; they are bright in color (pink) but dull in expression. she has a very flat face with a flat nose and a weak chin, and her profile lacks all definition. her hair is thin and stringy--it takes all the hair gel in the world to get it to curl. her lips are thin, her mouth is rather wide, and she has off-white teeth. and i know i drew her eyebrows thick in that picture but tbh i decided to make them thinner--they’re not very defined and almost disappear into her face. in addition, her body is more of an oval/apple shape than the hourglass shape she desires--small breasts, flat v-shaped butt, gains more weight in the midsection. she’s very skinny--thanks to her dieting her BMI is in fact somewhat underweight--but the fat distribution around her middle makes her look heavier than she actually is. ursula’s features improve with makeup, but still, she’s not as attractive as a typical celebrity. she knows this, and it hurts.

all of these things have caused both ursula and her mother great pains. ursula more or less constantly fixates on the fact that she takes after her ugly father and is drastically less attractive than her mother, who is renowned in china and in the west for her beauty and grace. part of why she wants to get plastic surgery so badly is because she wants to be as beautiful as her mother in the eyes of the world, or even one-up her. the other part of why she wants to get surgery is because lila herself has been pushing her toward it: she’s ashamed of having such an ugly daughter, and wants to “fix” her to look better. ursula expected her entire life to be given surgery, but lila wanted to go even further.

enter the world of transformation.

yes, every surgery is a transformation, but i’m talking about magical transformation--the type that one could only dream about in fairytales. surgery can only go so far in terms of changing a person’s features--often the changes are subtle, working around and enhancing what a person already has in order to make them look “better.” but with magical transformation, you can go further. in the real world, a stick-thin woman will never have the figure of nicki minaj even with the best butt augmentation, but with magical transformation in the pokémon world, she absolutely can. in the real world, a dark-skinned person will never be able to bleach their skin fully white, nor can a light-skinned person don a permanent tan, but with magical transformation, this is also entirely possible. on top of that, magical transformation is often known for producing, on average, better results than surgery: it relies on regrowing and reshaping natural features, working entirely with what the body has to offer rather than pesky infection-causing implants. and finally, magical transformation does what no amount of human surgery or other science can: it can also modify the body’s functioning (such as where fat is distributed) so that the results stay the same throughout time. for example, if you want to do some lipo on your waist, magical transformation modifies the fat cells and even the metabolism so the fat will never go back on your stomach.

why isn’t everyone using it? well, the thing with magical transformation is, it’s extremely rare and extremely expensive. there are only a select few people on the planet, vessels of arceus--less than one ten thousandth of one percent of the population--who can learn the techniques required to perform such magical operations. and of those select few, the vast majority refuse to perform cosmetic magical transformations either on moral grounds or because they simply weren’t interested in learning it. of the ~5,000 or so arceus vessels alive today, only sixteen of them worldwide are both able and willing to do cosmetic magical transformations: two in galar, four in america, seven in south korea, and three in china. this scarcity means that they can charge whatever price for their services they want. this further means that, instead of a paltry $128,900, ursula’s family had to fork over $25 million in order to give her the makeover of her and her mother’s dreams.

some of that came out of taxpayer dollars.

on top of the changes that i have listed in this post, the following changes were also made:

fat distribution change so that when she gains weight, most of it goes to the boobs and butt.

tooth whitening.

chin enhancement, to balance out the face.

eyebrow thickening and reshaping.

height adjustment--went from 5′1″ to 5′10″.

eyelash lengthening.

skin tanning.

hair thickening and texture change to make it naturally curly and thicker.

note that any implant changes are instead made by magically inducing the body to grow in those specific places.

ye a h, she got a lot done.

this was supposed to be her fairytale, her perfect moment of transformation that would change her life permanently for the better. but problems dogged the procedure and its aftermath, to the point that most people wouldn’t do them. for one thing, lila wanted a very different result from ursula. ursula agreed to get her face modified in the way that lila had constantly told her she needed to: bigger eyes, a more high-bridged nose, a more defined profile, fuller lips. but lila wanted to give her a more streamlined hourglass figure and wanted to keep her pale, whereas ursula wanted a strong tan, DD boobs and a christina hendricks ass. when ursula protested, lila said that she was the one paying for the transformation, so she could get to change her daughter’s body in any way she pleased. but ursula secretly cut a magical deal with her surgeon that if he disobeyed lila and gave her the body she wanted, he would get half of her earnings from contests, music and modeling for the rest of her life. his greedy ass of course disobeyed, and ursula walked out of that room looking exactly the way she wanted to--and there was nothing her mother could do to stop it.

there was still more trouble to come. instead of obsessively counting calories and whining about how she “had to” restrict her eating to the blandest foods, ursula began to pig out on whatever she wanted to eat--knowing she was magically enchanted to have all the weight go to her boobs and ass. but given that she was enchanted to look like that instead of naturally looking like that, there were…problems. the way the weight distributes on her body is not natural at all, and so when she gains weight it looks unnerving to a trained eye rather than pleasing. in particular, she likes big booty but not big legs, but doesn’t seem to understand that if you have a big booty you will also have the legs to match. so when she gains weight, it makes her ass look even more disproportional to her smaller thighs and especially to her tiny calves. she has thousands more instagram followers now that she’s transformed, but many people have also pointed out that it’s fairly obvious how fake she looks. there are other unnatural aspects to her appearance as well: her eyes are slightly larger than a normal human eye to create that uwu uwu animu look, and even though they now have an alluring sparkle to them that wasn’t there before, they can be unnerving rather than charming. there is an illusion over her nose to make it look impossibly thin. her tan looks a bit like a spray tan. and her eyelashes--they look like she has fake eyelashes on, they’re way longer than a normal human’s eyelashes would ever be. her lips are too big for her to talk with comfortably, so her voice changes for the first several months to something really derpy- and pinched-sounding. oh, and did i forget to mention she started to have health problems when she started eating whatever the fuck she wants? she got prediabetes, which i have also had when i went through the phase when i ate whatever the fuck i wanted. don’t do it, kids. it’s not worth it.

people have put her on blast for promoting an unrealistic body image, because her proportions are literally impossible for a natural human to attain. but in her eyes, the criticism she gets from the outside world pales in comparison to the criticism she has from her mother. lila, who had been banking on the transformation to finally give her the ideal daughter she had always dreamed of, was disappointed by her child yet again. the more ursula flaunts her unnatural face and figure, the more disapproving and distant lila grows from her--speaking to her only to criticize her appearance, heaping hate for it on her even higher than she did before the transformation took place. literally as soon as ursula stepped out of the operating room, lila demanded that he take her back in there and redo according to her specifications, or else she’d sue him--but she couldn’t sue him, because he’d already made an irreversible magical deal with his patient. ursula literally wouldn’t have cared less that so many people thought she was still ugly because in her own eyes she had finally grown beautiful, if not for the fact that her mother--from whom she had unhealthily sought approval all her life--agreed with the people who found her unsightly. gradually losing her mother’s “love” is quite possibly the worst consequence of them all for her mentally………one that will eventually drive her to the most desperate of acts.

Jen's Nu Image Medical Review (Updated 2021)

It's Nu Image Medical review day! I have purchased my own prescription Hcg and supplies from Nu Image Medical multiple times now, and thought I would share my full experience. Well, they remain my FAVORITE source for REAL prescription Hcg Injections, Drops and Tablets- with good reason. It has been quite some time since I last ordered from NI, and I must say, that over time, they have only improved on their speed and service, while still offering the best quality product available on the market today. Jen's Review of Nu Image Medical: My Honest Experience Buying HCG. Note: NU Image no longer sells hCG. However, you can find an hCG supplier here: My Diet Doc Review. Nu Image is a popular telemedicine company based in Florida, offering a complete Hcg weight loss program that comes with their Hcg kits. Their Hcg and all of their products are made in the USA, which I love. This way, I know it's genuine and made under FDA regulations for my safety. They are also renowned for their extremely high standards, which exceed those required by the FDA, and are the only Hcg supplier that actually works WITH the FDA to ensure this. As someone who greatly values safety and who has seen far too many cases of illness and bad reaction to cheap overseas Hcg, I salute Nu Image for their devotion and caring when it comes to their clients. Nu Image Medical Coupon Code: HDIVIP $150 Discount for Nu Image Medical Here See Current Nu Image Price     The Nu Image Ordering Process This company, has by far, become the most efficient source when it comes to ordering Hcg. I purchased from the link on the Buy Hcg Injections online page here, so that I would have the exact same experience as my readers. I opted for a 2 month supply (the price was a bargain compared to weight loss clinics) and selected several add-ons, including the Lipotropics and Vitamin B mixing solution. You don't have to order these, but personally, I love them and use them even when I am not on the diet. They offer great energy and I have far better results on the Hcg Diet when I include these. They offer injections, drops and pellets. I prefer injections myself so that is what I ordered for this round. It took me about 10 minutes to fill out the online health form after selecting my products. The form included your basic health inquiries; overall current health, current medications, past health history, etc. When I was finished filling out the form, I was presented with an option to "Enter the Nu Image waiting room" for an immediate video consult with the doctor. I opted for the second choice, which was to have the doctor call me. In about an hour, the doctor called. I was pleased this was a doctor and not a medical assistant. He introduced himself as the Nu Image Medical Doctor, and explained how the process went. He confirmed the same questions I had been asked on the online form, double-checking that I had no medication allergies, etc. After everything was complete, he said he would be approving my prescription for Hcg and that it would be shipped out the next day. The doctor also directed me to the online client support that had all the information about how to do the Hcg Diet before confirming everything that I wished to add to my order. He asked me if I had any further questions and wished me luck! Voila- such an easy process, yet I was very happy that I was actually being guided through the Hcg Diet under a real doctor's care. Even as an experienced Hcg Dieter, this still brought me comfort. Yet, I didn't have to wait for an appointment, make an office visit, go through my insurance, pay a copay, etc- it was all handled in less than a day, and for a smaller amount than my usual grocery bill for the month- I'll probably save money this month, in light of that! Nu Image Medical Processing & Shipping Time While Nu Image has always been known for their efficient processing and shipping time (mine was delivered in 5 business days,) they are certainly one of the fastest Hcg sources I have come across. Near-instant processing and approval, they have introduced a system that allows the doctor to immediately (or in some cases, shortly after) speak with the patient for approval. When I placed my order, there was an option to "enter the doctor's office" which was an instant video conference with the doctor for immediate approval. I also had the option to receive a phone call instead. Since my toddler had just woke, I needed a few minutes before I could speak with the doctor, and opted for the call. Sure enough, about an hour later, I received a call from the doctor himself, kindly explaining that he was the official Nu Image doctor, who would be handling my application process and prescribing the Hcg if suitable for my situation. He explained how the process worked; how he would be asking me a few basic questions about my health, including any past health concerns, and allergies or even genetic risks. While basic, it was still thorough enough to make me feel I was in good hands and under the care of a real doctor. At the end of the call, the doctor reviewed my order: 2 months of Hcg, and all the supplements I ordered. He explained in detail, that my order would include all necessary supplies and that my request for the Vitamin B and Bacteriostatic water to be pre-mixed was fine. (You can also request these to be separate but I think this way is simpler and I have great results with Vitamin B added.) As for Nu Image shipping time - I had my Hcg and all my necessary supplies in 5 days. Delivered to me, with a "signature required" hand-to-hand delivery. It was also delivered in a very nice, reusable, insulated box with a zipper and inserts for the vials. I have included a photo below. All in all, I was extremely impressed with the process and the way the doctor handled my case and explained everything. Much appreciated! See Current Nu Image Price What I received with my order from Nu Image I received individual vials of Hcg, unmixed. I received a liquid vial of my bacteriostatic water mixed with my Vitamin B, and all the correct syringes I would need. All vials had a valid prescription on the containers, with my name on them. I received the additional 6 Nu Image supplements I ordered, including Calcium Pyruvate, VitaBoost, StressStop, Digest-Cleanse, and JetFuel. I will wait to test these out after my first week on the diet. It was nice not to have to order anything separate from another source and for those new to the diet, I highly recommend getting your Hcg as a kit like this, so you can be certain you have everything you need, and the correct syringes, quality Hcg, etc. Nu Image Medical Coupon Code: HDIVIP See Nu Image Price Discount for Nu Image Medical Here Nu Image Client Support I couldn't very well offer a thorough review of Nu Image Medical, without trying their client support after ordering. On different occasions, I called to request direction and advice and both times, I was met with friendly and professional representatives. They keep a full business day's hours, Monday through Friday, and I was asked if I needed to speak with my doctor or if they could help me with something. I loved that I had access to the doctor if I needed him! Each time I called, their staff were extremely knowledgeable and more than capable of answering my questions, providing the resources and direction I needed. I was very happy with their customer service all the way around. My Nu Image Review Conclusion Nu Image Medical has surpassed all my review standards, and has once again become my 1st choice as an Hcg supplier. The quality of their Hcg continues to surpass even the standards set by the FDA. They understand that their clients want their orders processed fast, and shipped even quicker. As I said, my request was processed in the same day, and my interview with the doctor was shortly after I placed my order. I had my Hcg and all of my supplies delivered to my front door, in 5 days. That is by far, the fastest in the industry. I also greatly appreciated having the access to a medical doctor as well as staff that was familiar with the Hcg Diet and happy to answer all my questions. Overall, this has been a pleasant experience and I look forward to ordering from them again. Nu Image Review Update: I have lost 12 pounds in the first week using Nu Image Hcg and Lipo/B12! In two weeks, I have lost 18 pounds total. How to Order from Nu Image Medical with this coupon code is shown in the pic below.

Having been confused by purchasing injections and mixing, etc, I saw an ad at the top of this post for a kit. Clicking through the links I eventually found myself at Hcg Diet Info and Nu Image Medical. Has anyone ordered from them? It looks incredibly easy to administer. For $249 you can get injections with B12 pre-mixed and all supplies. It's also made in the USA which I like and feel safer about. -BuhBub Hi BuhBub,I went with Nu Image Medical. It was the third place recommended on this website . for people who are new to injections and aren't comfortable ordering mixing supplies, syringes, etc. (the other 2 companies were Diet Doc and Riverfront MD). I got the 26-day kit for $262. The price on the website for first-time customers is $297, less a $50 discount from Hcg Diet Info plus Fed-Ex ground for $15. Total w/discount and shipping is $262. Much pricier than ordering from overseas, but almost half the cost of a local clinic run by an HCG doctor, and much safer. Plus, I feel confident the HCG is higher quality after my research. I paid extra for A.) the peace of mind, B.) to be able to speak to a doctor, C.) knowing it was real prescription RX hcg, D.) is made in the USA, and E.) I would have it in 2 days. My order came with: HCG - 1 vial powdered HCG 5000IUB12 - 1 vial of b12 to mix the hcg (cyanocobalamin 1000 mcg/ml 10 ML (I'm reading now that B12 isn't necessary but good for extra energy. Next time I will try buying some bacteriostati water to mix instead next time, from a local compounding pharmacy.) UPDATE: You can ask Nu Image to just send you bacteriostatic water to mix and they will. You will still get the B12 to inject separately if you choose.1 5ml mixing syringe 20 gauge 1 1/2" long1 package of 31-gauge 1/2 cc (.5m) U-100 insulin syringes 5/16" for daily subQ injections2 alcohol swabs to wipe the vial capsFull phone support for the first week, for mixing questions, etcA detailed HCG diet manual with tons of recipes for each 'phase' (downloadable PDF document).I ordered it on a Friday late afternoon, by filling out an online medical questionnaire. A doctor called me within an hour,to verify I was the patient and to ask a question about one of my medications. The prescription was filled on Monday, I got an email with an invoice, (see below) and tracking number. I had my order Tuesday morning, delivered by Fed Ex ground (I'm in Florida, and so is the Pharmacy). Someone must sign for the package. I received the vials in prescription bottles with my name and address on it, and the prescribing doctors name. All very up-and-up. If you went with Diet Doc hcg, I'm curious if you were happy with the experience. I would personally recommend Nu Image if you have not decided yet. My husband and I have been on the protocol since April 29th, he's down 19 pounds, I've lost 14lbs, after 13 days of the 500-calorie diet. After adjusting the dose up and down with some minor hunger issues, we are both feeling great, no desire to eat. We're ordering more so we can do a long round (40 days). Nu Image sells a 46-day program (two 5000iu vials plus double the supplies for 2 rounds) for $397. They have a link for refills, no doctor call or forms to fill out, except your credit card info (they don't store it). No, I'm not getting any referral bonus. That's my 2 cents, hope it helps.

I have a few more rounds to go and think that I will choose a shorter round next time around as my weight loss starting to slow down toward the end of this round.

Revenge is Sweet || Wildeberry

Date: December 4th. Late afternoon

Location: McKinley High School Auditorium.

Starring: Rachel Berry and Kitty Wilde ( @shitsgonnagetwilde )

Notes: As planned, Kitty and Rachel get together after school on Monday afternoon and practice their little act for Quinn, a bit too well, maybe?

Rachel was aware that suggesting she and Kitty start up a fake relationship was a little bit crazy and kind of playing with a small fire, but she genuinely like Kitty despite her rough exterior -- she supposed she had a thing for those who had hard outsides and soft insides. She clearly has a type when it comes to people she likes - and she wanted to help her. She knew what it was like to be in love with Quinn and to lose her time and time again and she could see how much Kitty felt for her just by the tension in the air between the two blondes. So, with the best of intentions, Rachel thought this to be the best idea and she was actually a little bit excited at the prospect of hanging out with the tiny blonde and at least getting the confirmation that Kitty liked her -- as a friend -- so she could tell her she told her so.

As planned, when the final school bell rang and everyone began to clear out, Rachel made her way to the auditorium to meet up with Kitty, having found the sheet music for both songs the girls had discussed previously, figuring they could settle on whichever one felt better to them when they sang.

Kitty didn't like making eye contact in the hallways - the only reason she did so was to establish dominance among the freshman class, but for the most part, Kitty focused her attention on the feet of the person in front of her, or the passing lockers, or anything that wasn't a person, really. So when the final bell rang, and Kitty knew she had to go and meet Rachel as promised, the blonde took a deep breath and made her way through the halls, challenging anybody to test her already pissy mood as she rounded the corner to the auditorium. Ducking inside - without the watchful eye of Sue or any of the Cheerios - Kitty stood in the shadows for a moment as she watched Rachel on stage. She was still wary about people helping her - what did Rachel want? "I'm here." She deadpanned after a moment, stepping out from one of the wings with her arms folded across her chest.

When Rachel heard the young blonde's voice, she turned towards the direction it was coming from and her face lit up with a bright smile. "Oh, good! You came!" She clapped, before walking closer to her. "I admit I was a little worried you might stand me up but, I'm glad that you made it." She said genuinely, noting the other's demeanor. She knew Kitty was very closed off and she knew that it must've stemmed from events that occurred in her lifetime and that's why Rachel had the patience she did for people like Kitty. She knew they weren't mean just to be mean, it came from somewhere. "I took the liberty of getting the sheet music for both songs, I thought whichever one you felt most comfortable with is the one we'd go with." She explained, offering the papers to the girl.

Kitty was a little caught off guard by Rachel's enthusiasm - though she should've been used to it by now. "Yeah." She sucked on her teeth for a moment, rocking on her heels before dumping her backpack onto the ground and making her way over to the piano to join Rachel. "Stand you up?" Kitty smirked slightly, "I thought this was a fake date." She chuckled. Eyes flickering over the sheet music, Kitty nodded absently; her and Rachel never really talked about the situation in person, but it wasn't too big of a deal. "Cool," she nodded, fingers running over the paper lightly. "Which one do you think will make Sam cry?" She wondered aloud.

Rachel raised her eyebrows as the shorter teased her, before rolling her eyes with a smile. "It is a fake date," She giggled. "Just be careful not to really fall for me her." She nudged her friend, taking a page from their previous conversations to tease her right back. As they both glanced down at the sheet music, Rachel considered the question briefly before shrugging. "I think him knowing you want to kill him is enough to make him cry-- but either one is pretty good." Her eyes moved to Kitty as the girl looked at the paper. "Hey, I'm...really sorry about that whole situation." She offered quietly even though they were the only ones in the room, knowing that feelings weren't the teenager's best subject.

Kitty nodded with a small smile, "Uh huh," before spreading the music out before her and examining the notes. "Don't give me any ideas," Kitty smiled, peering at Rachel out of the corner of her eye, joking, obviously. When the brunette, however, began to reach out, Kitty's breath caught in her throat for a moment. She'd opened up to a lot of people in the past few weeks and was quickly learning that that wasn't the best way to go. "...It's whatever," she shrugged, voice getting quiet. "I'm over it." Obviously not, considering she was debating which song would make both blondes realize that Kitty wasn't somebody you wanted to cross.

Rachel nibbled on her bottom lip, nodding as Kitty claimed to be over it. She got the message loud and clear that she probably shouldn't press her further but Rachel wasn't exactly one to give up easily. "Well, good, I'm glad you're over it." She gave a stern nod, pursing her lips together before her face softened again, voice softer. "But just in case you ever aren't over it...I'm still here." Rachel offered once more before a smile played on her lips, chuckling softly as she took her copy of sheet music to the Pink song first, deciding they could give it a try first and then the Taylor Swift song next. "You know, since you're so over it-- that must mean this 'fake' dating thing isn't so fake, huh? You're just trying to get closer to me, aren't you, Kitty Cat?" She teased the blonde once more with a wink and a nudge.

Kitty was a little taken aback by the use of the nickname - though she knew Rachel was getting accustomed to using it. "If I didn't know you better, Rachel, I'd think you'd want me to flirt back." She smiled, insinuating the thought that Rachel had been flirting in the first place. "Better not let pre-lipo ken catch wind of your lady crush - I tend to make boys angry when I steal their women..." She muttered to herself, eyes only momentarily flicking to Rachel as she didn't comment on her offers to talk.

Rachel giggled as she fiddled with the paper in front of her, looking at it before looking at Kitty, placing her hand on the shorter's shoulder. "Of course I want you to flirt with me, Kitty." She said, raising her eyebrows, tilting her head. "We should flirt with each other-- y'know, get used to it so we can do it at school. In front of Q." She clarified, nodding her head before shaking it at the blonde's statement. "Hunter isn't worried-- I told him not to worry about you and I. Plus, he likes you, too. He wouldn't get angry at you." She noted that Kitty had sidestepped her offer to talk and she decided not to press anymore-- she had put it out there and Kitty knew she was there if she needed her.

"I don't know," the blonde mused in teasing, chewing on the inside of her cheek in mock thought, "I've done a little bit more than make a girl blush, Berry, you sure that's something you want to get tangled up in?" The blonde quipped with a raised brow - Rachel had wanted to flirt, she'd flirt. Kitty was good at that, almost like second nature. A gift she'd been born with, more like. Her smile faltered a little at the mention of Quinn and she'd remembered that that's what this was all about. Taking a deep breath she nodded, sitting down at the piano. "He's alright too, I guess." She admitted with a small shrug, thinking about all the nice offers he'd made to help her feel better - not that she'd ever trust a warbler again.

Rachel raised her eyebrows as the tiny blonde accepted her flirting challenge, a smile spreading across her face. "That's some big talk for someone so tiny." She teased, crinkling her nose, giggling softly. "I dunno, Kitty, I'm not awful at flirting either--" A shrug tugged at one of her shoulders. "Maybe you're the one who should be careful here. By the end of this you'll be wanting me and not her." Biting on her lip, Rachel smiled a little more when Kitty commented on Hunter. "He really is great-- he's not like the other Warblers." She offered offhandedly, not pressing that subject too much either-- she'd handle one battle at a time. Walking over closer to the blonde as she sat, she could tell the mention of Quinn had made the girl's smile falter before and she didn't want that. This was supposed to make Kitty feel better, less alone. "C'mon." She reached for the shorter's hand to pull her back up. "Just..come sing with me-- we'll sing Pink first and if it's not a fit we'll do the other one. I wanna make you feel better, not worse."

Kitty shrugged lightly in acceptance, looking at Rachel skeptically. "Who say's I don't already want you?" She asked, head cocked with interest as her grin grew to her ears. She was kidding of course, but there was nothing like seeing people confused or surprised. He's not like the other Warblers, what did that even mean? She was sure he was like every other guy ever - maybe Rachel would realize soon enough, but as she was realizing, it wasn't her place to judge people's partners. When Rachel offered her hand, Kitty looked at it for a moment, before tentatively reaching out and taking it, being lifted as Rachel led her to the center of the stage. "...Fine. But I want your hands where I can see them, Hobbit." She commented with a smile, removing her hand from Rachel's as they faced one another.

When Kitty asked who said she didn't want her already, Rachel's face was the one that faltered a little this time- unsure what to think of that comment even though she'd started this flirting war with the younger Cheerio. When Kitty grinned, so did she, chuckling softly. "Okay, so maybe I should step up my game, here." Once they were standing center stage and they faced each other, Rachel raised her eyebrows again and she giggled. "Ditto, Kitty Cat. Don't get handsy, now." She crinkled her nose cutely once more before she cleared her throat. "Shall we? You start us off, Miss."

Kitty suddenly felt nervous - she'd sang before, in Glee Club, in front of people. But this time, Rachel was by herself, and she suddenly felt like she was being watched like a hawk. Sure, she had talent and could dance and look cute while she did it, but Rachel's voice was something else entirely, and Kitty felt intimidated a little bit at the prospect of singing for her. Clearing her throat, the blonde tried her best to look out into the audience instead, the spot light blinding her a little as she took a deep breath. "Like Leo in The Revenant, Abel in that Bible bit revenge is sweet, isn't it? Really, really hope for it I know that it won't fix a thing a song like this that I could sing for you," she began to sing, looking to Rachel and waiting for her to come in with the harmony. "All the feels you make me do a nightmare fuckin' comin' true I wish I was a lawyer, I would sue you sue you, take your dog, take your house take your shoes, take your heart," the blonde paused before looking at Rachel, giggling, "Now here comes the singing part,"

Rachel encouraged Kitty to take the spotlight as she began to sing. Crossing her arms as she observed the blonde, smiling to herself as she was impressed. She wondered why they didn't let Kitty sing more often in glee club. When it came time for Rachel to join in, she smiled at Kitty as the other giggled, coming in with her smooth sounding harmonies before the song picked up. "I'm daydreaming, let me count the ways, How I'll get you, or how I'll make you pay. Babe, I'm hurting and now you'll feel the same-- that's my plan, that's my plan, that's my plan" Rachel took Kitty's hand again and spun her around with as she continued to sing with her friend. "We could do revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge. Together, together, together. We could take revenge, revenge, revenge. Revenge is sweet."

Kitty couldn't help smiling when she sung - even when she was in the sourest of moods, singing gave her a nice piece of mind. Giggling as the brunette spun her around, Kitty sang in tune with her and actually felt good for a change; maybe it was the singing, or that Rachel was being so nice and it was nice to just have someone being...nice. It always felt like people wanted something. Rachel seemed to just want to be there for her; it was weird. "Now here's where girlfriends come in hand, especially those that understand, crime's a crime, but listen, man, really cannot give a damn. We've all been through this kind of thing say the word, we make it sting for him." Kitty sang out, eyes focused on Rachel as she danced with her, "He can't just get away with it, eye for eye, you piece of shit! You treat us like a garbage pit, let me at him!" The blonde snarled lightly, Sam's face flashing in her mind as she thought about how badly she just wanted to punch him, but Rachel's "Wait for it, wait for it," in her ear slightly calming her. "Here's that singin' part again."

Rachel smiled wider as Kitty danced with her easily, happy that the other seemingly let her guard down ever so slightly to enjoy singing with Rachel. It made her feel good to know she could get Kitty to do this-- to let loose a little and let some of her frustrations out. As Rachel sang through her part of the song again, leading up to where the blonde would pick up again, she spun the smaller around again before holding her hand long enough to spin herself around, giggling softly-- enjoying herself as well.

Kitty faded out of the song, swallowing a little bit before the rap had began and stopping completely. "We can, um," she cleared her throat, "we can try the other one, if you want." She offered, her heart beating a little fast from the adrenaline as she tried not to look too happy for her own sake.

Rachel raised her eyebrows when the song came to a stop and Kitty cleared her throat, the smile still on her face, a little winded from their dancing. "I-I think this one might do perfectly." She grinned, stepping closer and touching Kitty's arm. "You should've seen yourself singing that-- it was amazing." Rachel encouraged, nodding her head. Noticing the look on the blonde's face, nibbling on her lip. "Are...you okay?"

Kitty nodded in agreement, sweeping a piece of hair behind her ear as she looked down at the sheet music absently. When she felt Rachel's fingers on her arm, Kitty flinched, but didn't brush her away. Her compliments flooded through her ears like a wild fire, and she blushed slightly, not meeting Rachel's gaze. "Thank you," she replied quietly, a hint of a smile on her lips. "I, um..." Looking up at Rachel, she grimaced, "Just got to thinking, I guess."

Rachel gauged Kitty's body language carefully, she could see that the young lady had been letting herself have a good time with Rachel and she didn't want to let the brunette know it. She thought it was cute, really cute. When the other answered her question about if she was okay or not, she raised her eyebrows curiously. "Thinking about what?" She asked, taking a breath to catch it from their dancing before.

Kitty was silent for a moment after the question, eyes flickering over the notes in an attempt to not have to have this conversation. But Rachel was just being nice- Kitty had to learn to understand that not everybody was out to hurt her. "Everything. I don't know." She mused with a small shrug, glancing at the brunette with a sad smile. "...How am I supposed to stop being angry?" She asked, as if she expected Rachel to have the answer.

Rachel took a step closer to her friend, moving her arm to place a comforting hand on the smaller's back. When Kitty looked at her and their eyes met, Rachel's insides sank with how sad the younger looked. She wanted to help her so much more than she could, she was doing the best that she knew how and she only hoped it would work in their favor in the end and she could see Kitty happy. "You don't." She said, matter-of-fact. "You let yourself be angry, you feel that angry and channel it into something-- like singing, or dancing-- or art, whatever you're into." Rachel shrugged. "Eventually you will feel it less and you'll be happy one day and not feel it at all." She offered her advice, knowing it wasn't exactly great. "But for now, you're allowed to be angry. And when you don't want to be angry-- we'll do something like this. We'll focus on something else-- you looked happy just a few moments ago because you weren't really thinking about it. You were having fun with me-- don't think I didn't see that." The brunette nudged her, a smirk pulling at her lips. "I think you like me just a little bit."

Kitty rolled her eyes, half in amusement. As Rachel's chocolate eyes gazed into her own pale blue ones, Kitty cleared her throat, slightly in discomfort. She couldn't help it - talking about any of this, any of these feelings, emotions, was just another sign that it was all happening; Kitty hated it. "Okay, I like you a little bit - but not like that." She stressed with a grin. Not that there was anything wrong with Rachel - she was just too short for Kitty. Actually, Kitty would figure herself pretty lucky if she dated somebody like Rachel; she seemed sweet and caring, at least. Nobody else had reached out to Kitty like Rachel had. It warmed the blonde's ice cold heart a little bit, but she was still afraid of letting people back into her head. "We could hang out for real some day, if you wanted to. And no, I'm not asking you on a date." Kitty offered, looking at Rachel with a raised brow in questioning. "I guess you could bring the Warbler...if he doesn't mind me stealing his woman right from under his nose." She smirked, crossing her arms.

Rachel giggled when Kitty stressed that she wasn't romantically interested in Rachel. She didn't mind, she was happy in her relationship and the blonde was a bit too young for her, she figured. "I know, I know." She reassured Kitty, chuckling. "At least not yet, anyway." She winked before taking a breath before going back over to the piano, placing the sheet music down to give the other a little space. "I mean, we have to be careful with this fake-relationship. Can't be catching real feelings for me now." She teased as she turned to face Kitty again, smiling at her. "Sounds an awful lot like a date to me." She teased once again, finding the dynamic between the two of them so far to be fun. Both teasing and yet never quite knowing how much teasing it was at the same time. It almost felt like playing with a small fire but Rachel wasn't too worried. "Oh yeah? You'd let me bring Hunter? I know how you feel about the Warblers...that's kind of a big step." At the blonde's smirk, Rachel laughed again. "I think that he wouldn't mind you stealing me from him too much since you're so cute, Kitty Cat." Rachel flirted with a nose crinkle.

Kitty tried her best not to appear to vulnerable in the moment, holding back a large smile as Rachel sat down at the piano, "You're pretty confident for somebody who probably has to climb up on the counter to reach a glass," Kitty teased, knowing full well that she was that type of person. "I think you just wish it was an actual date, Berry. The imagination's a very useful thing." The cheerleader shot back gently, nails drumming against the top of the piano in thought. She'd never had this type of friendship before; if she could call it that, where they constantly just teased each other back forth and had it not mean anything. It was relaxing. It built Kitty's confidence a little bit. "Well, yeah, he's not like, you know...I mean with a third party at least no one will get hurt, mainly him."

Rachel let out a sigh of contented happiness as Kitty teased her right back. She seemingly enjoyed every moment of their banter and it amused her greatly, happy that the young Cheerio was willing to let her in enough to have at least this kind of friendship with her. Rachel genuinely liked Kitty and wanted nothing more than to at least be her friend. "I'm sure he would love it, honestly. I know he likes you, too, like I've mentioned before." The brunette shrugged. "He was all on board when I suggested our relationship to him. I think he sees the good I see in you, too." Rachel said as she looked at Kitty with a genuine expression.

Kitty shook her head, "See? I told you - he'd love the idea of it. He's a guy. It's only natural." She shrugged casually, reaching back around her head to tighten the blonde ponytail that rested there. When Rachel suggested that she saw good within Kitty, the blonde faltered for a moment. It was hard for her to see the good in herself; let alone believe that other people saw it in her. "A lot of people have seen the good in me - all they've done is take it." She admitted bluntly, hands folding atop the piano with a deep swallow. She was afraid that she was veering into personal territory, but didn't know how to steer it in a different direction at this point.

At Kitty's last statement, Rachel's face fell and she suddenly felt more for the girl. She felt sad that she was so young and everyone had already hurt her so much that she had such a hard exterior, she seemed so...jaded. It was heartbreaking to see. Rachel silently declared that she would do whatever it took to help Kitty begin to have more faith in people-- to see the good in herself and others. Kitty deserved to see the good in herself, she wasn't nearly old enough to feel that way about herself or the world. She understood, though. She understood that Kitty had been burned many, many times and it was absolutely understandable why she felt the way she did. Nibbling on her lip, Rachel kept her gaze on Kitty, her voice gentle and sincere. "Kitty...I'm-I'm sorry that so many people have hurt you." Reaching out carefully, she placed her hand on top of the blonde's. "I know you don't exactly trust me yet but...I truly do like you and I don't...I wont hurt you like they did. I'll show you that, okay?" She promised, biting her lip again and nodding her head.

Kitty froze a little when Rachel's hand came to rest atop her own, eyes flickering to the sight in uncertainty, but not pulling away. Rachel didn't really know anything about her; other than what had happened with Quinn, and even then Kitty hadn't given up too much information. But here the brunette was, offering her service and friendship as if her and Kitty had been friends for years. Staying silent for a few moments, Kitty sighed deeply before looking at Rachel with sad eyes. "I'm not hurt," she lied, shaking her head with a sad chuckle, "I just-...I'm trying. Somethings pulling me back. But I'm trying." The blonde admitted with a tentative sigh, unsure of what to do with her hand underneath Rachel's.

Rachel realized then that she might be a little too touchy-feeling for Kitty's liking and she cursed herself, pressing her lips together before smiling a little and giving the blonde's hand a gently pat before taking her hand away. "Sorry, I'm...a touchy person." She apologized, nodding her head. "I see that you're trying and I think that it's great." The brunette agreed. "I know that I don't know everything-- or even that much about you. But I know a good person when I see one. Just ask Hunter-- I have this thing where I'm really good at reading people and seeing right through them. Especially if I feel connected to them in some way."

Kitty smirked, "Maybe you just like touching me," she suggested with a lilt, a glint of mischief in her eyes. It was her way of deflecting and making herself more comfortable in the situation. Things were silent for a moment as Kitty watched Rachel's facial expressions and checked her eyes for deception - finding none, Kitty offered Rachel a small smile. "Some way, huh? Knew you had it bad for me, Berry."

Rachel let out a laugh at Kitty's teasing, grinning at the other before standing up from the piano, getting closer to Kitty, mirroring the mischief in her eyes. "Trust me, Kitty Cat, if I had it bad for you- you'd know it." Her brown eyes glanced to Kitty's lips before they went back to the other's blue eyes, letting a tag bit of tension build. A smirk pulled at the corner of her mouth, showing Kitty that she could absolutely keep up with her game of mischievous flirtation.

Kitty’s breath hitched a little bit when Rachel stood and moved closer to her, but didn't want to make it obvious as she cleared her throat, eyes challenging Rachel. The pet name sent a chill down her spine, she wasn't sure if she liked it or not, but Kitty just brushed it off, biting down on her lip in amusement. "Not bad, Hobbit." She breathed, before shrugging lightly, "what would I have to do to get you to admit it, huh?"

Rachel giggled softly when Kitty bit her lip, giving a slight shrug before reaching to sweep that same piece of hair from before back behind the younger's ear before biting her own lip. "Mm, I dunno. I think you being your cute self might be enough for me to eventually admit it." She gave a shrug and crinkled her nose. Licking her lips, the taller let out a breathy giggle, her cheeks flushing pink as she shook her head. Rachel knew they were both teasing, sure, but something about being so close to the blonde made her stomach give a little twist.

Her mouth fell open a little in surprise when Rachel swept a stray strand of hair behind her ear, the brush of the diva's fingertips on her skin sending a jolt through her. Eyes widening, Kitty gazed back at Rachel, unsure what to do for a moment. "For somebody who doesn't have any interest in me, you sure are touching me a lot." She pointed out knowingly, referring to what had just happened, and Rachel's tendency to hold Kitty's hand. She didn't mind, but it was a little surprising - Rachel had a lot of guts for somebody who was the size of a goblin and had a boyfriend.

Rachel laughed softly, shaking her head again to pull herself out the flirtatious moment with Kitty. "C'mon, you're supposed to be my girlfriend now, right? I'm affectionate with my significant others." She played off the flirting and the touching with with a chuckle, stepping back to give them an appropriate amount of space now. "Or do I, like, need to officially ask you? Because I can." She teased with a smile.

Kitty felt herself breathe finally when Rachel stepped away, inhaling slowly before grimacing slightly at the older girl. Admittedly, she liked hanging out with her. Rachel understood when she did and didn't want to talk, and didn't pressure her to talk about anything. She made her forget a little. "That depends," Kitty shook her head nonchalantly, "is there a big proposal involved?"

Rachel raised her eyebrows, smiling at the shorter before shrugging once again. "There could be depending on how cheesy you want it." Rachel ran her fingers through her brown locks, tossing it over her shoulder. "I don't want to do something that will make you really uncomfortable so I won't do it publicly if you would rather me not-- but I for sure can give you a mildly cheesy proposal right here and now." She offered, the smile still on her face.

Kitty didn't need anything like that from Rachel - but seeing her try was funny enough for her, and in all honesty - if nobody else saw, what could it hurt? "...If you want to." She suggested lightly, not wanting to push it. "-I can't guarantee I'll say yes, though." She chuckled in jest, moving around the piano to take a seat on the bench.

Rachel grinned at the other when she suggested she do it if she really wanted to, giggling when she couldn't promise she'd say yes. Their dynamic was definitely an interesting one and Rachel didn't hate it at all. "Okay," She nodded once before coming closer to sit on the bench next to Kitty, that feeling in her stomach from before twisting slightly as she took the blonde's hand in hers, bringing it to her chest to hold it there. "Kitty, I think you are one of the sweetest girls I have ever met. Sure, you're a little spicy-- but I see the sweetness in there somewhere. You're beautiful and I love spending time with you. Now, would you do me the honor of being my fake-girlfriend?" She said, her voice just loud enough for the other to hear, her brown eyes gazing into the girl's blue ones. She let the tension between them grow a little bit before she bit her lip, giggling. "Or if that doesn't work-- then I'll also give you this-" A grin pulled at her lips and she shook her head. "Baby, I'm not a photographer but I can picture you and I together." She dropped the cheesy pick up line teasingly, giggling softly.

Kitty couldn't help the blush that started to spread furiously throughout her entire body as Rachel took her hand and pressed it against the girl's chest, eyes immediately flickering away from Rachel, but not being able to tear her hand away. She could feel the brunette's heartbeat beneath her palm, soft and a little quick. The pick up line caused a laugh to tumble from her throat, but mostly out of her nerves. "I mean -...yeah, whatever..." She mumbled, almost embarrassed, as she tried to hide her reddening cheeks before she was finally able to meet her gaze again. "How many times have you practiced that in the mirror hoping I'd say yes, hm?" She questioned, grateful that it was just the two of them.

Rachel couldn't help but grin widely at Kitty laughed, watching her cheeks blush. She really was very cute. "You said yes?" She let go of the other's hand to clap her own. "She said yes!" She hollered at the empty auditorium, giggling as she threw her arms around her friend and brought her into a hug. "I knew it, you love me." Rachel gave her a squeeze before letting her go and standing up from the piano bench. "Now that we're official I think the first thing we should definitely do is sing the song in glee-- it'll at least make Sam and Quinn tilt their heads." She nodded, planning out their next step in her head. "Now, like I said-- I will follow your lead with how out we are in public and at school because I know I was outed but I don't want to do the same to you until you're ready.."

Kitty was surprised when Rachel took her in her arms, not exactly hugging her back, but not pushing her away, either. It was nice to have some human contact - she hadn't had any since she and Quinn had...well, anyway, it was comforting. "Let's take it easy with all those words you're throwing around," she chuckled with a shake of her head, taking a reasonable step back when Rachel let go of her. Nodding in agreement as Rachel went on, talking about glee, she shifted a little bit in her seat on the bench, sighing. No, she wasn't ready to come out; it had taken her that long to admit it to herself, who knew how much longer it would take her to admit it to everybody else. "Right, I, um-...yeah, we can sing it." She agreed hurriedly.

Rachel nodded when Kitty agreed still to sing with her, knowing that alone would make Quinn squirm at least a little bit. "Great. I think it's a really great place to start this." She said with another nod. "And if you talk to Quinn and ever want to throw my name around of if you want to tell her that we went out or are hanging out. Just keep me updated so I can keep the story going, okay?" She offered, shrugging a little. "I want to help you in any way that I can. I just...I want to see you happy."

Talking to Quinn in general was a stretch for Kitty, but she'd do it if it made her jealous the way Rachel was saying it would. "...thanks, Rachel." She offered quietly, taking a deep breath before standing up. "I should -...I have to go." The blonde said hurriedly, offering Rachel a small smile in thanks. "Thanks again. For you know...everything. Try not to think about me too much when I'm gone." She smirked, standing before Rachel before ever so slightly pressing her lips against Rachel's cheek; pulling away just as fast.

Rachel raised her eyebrows once more when Kitty announced that she should be leaving, smiling and giving a nod. "Of-of course." She checked the time, noting that they'd been there for quite a while with their flirting shenanigans. When Kitty thanked her, a sweet smile pulled at Rachel's lips and she shook her head. "You're welcome, don't even mention it. I want to be here for you." She reiterated before giggling at the shorter's words. "I'll do my best-" When Kitty leaned in to kiss Rachel's cheek, the brunette's breath caught in her throat a little and her cheeks flushed with color and warmth. Biting her lip to keep from grinning stupidly, the other giggled bashfully. "Maybe I was touchy feely before-- but you're the one that just kissed me, Kitty Cat." She teased, grinning at the shorter, crinkling her nose. "Try not to think about me too much, beautiful." She tapped the blonde's nose with her finger.

Kitty reached down to grab the bag she'd come with, and when she stood back up, meeting Rachel eye to eye, the brunette's finger tapped her nose gently and Kitty became cross eyed for a moment, looking down at the digit as it lingered for a second before Rachel was just there, smiling at her. "I-..." Hesitating, Kitty took a deep breath, before nodding once. "Right. Well - I'll try to keep my hands where you can see them in Glee; no promises, though." The blonde winked, before stepping past Rachel. Sending her one more glance over her shoulder, Kitty left the auditorium, before painting her stoic expression back on as she stepped out into the hall.

What Supplements Should I Take and Which Ones Should I Avoid?

The best Nerd Fitness email I’ve ever received started like this:

“Just want to let you know, your website is totally and completely useless.  It doesn’t talk about supplements and it discourages use of machines (WHY???)”

Then, he asked for my best advice. I couldn’t help but chuckle.

Thinking back, it was the nicest thing anybody could have said about Nerd Fitness.

This poor gentleman wanted to use machines and pump his body full of supplements to receive the fastest results possible without putting in the hard work and dedication required.  He grew discouraged when he saw Nerd Fitness promoted the consumption of real food and the lifting of actual weights rather than quick fixes.

Every week we get dozens of emails from people asking about supplements: which ones are bogus, which ones are legit, and if they even need to bother at all.

Honestly, there’s a reason it took me 5.5 years and nearly 600 articles to finally publish something on supplements: it’s a tricky freaking subject!

I’m not a doctor. Just a nerd trying to shed some light on a ridiculously overcrowded industry full of shady marketing and dubious claims. Like anything else, track your own results, do your own research, talk to your doctor, and draw your own conclusions.

Any recommendations here or any brands mentioned are simply because we like and use them.

Deep breath…and here…we…go!

The Most Important Thing You Need to Know About Supplements

“Which supplements are necessary for a healthy life?”

“Which supplements will help me build muscle?” 

“Which supplements will help me lose weight faster?”

Want to know the MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS?

Unless you have a particular illness, a nutritional/hereditary problem, or are required by a doctor to take a supplement, NONE of them are requirements.

Think of it in terms of a video game: power-ups can sometimes enhance or improve your effectiveness, but without having basic skills beforehand they are a waste.  (Like getting star power in Super Mario Brothers and immediately falling in a pit. Suck!)

So, long story short: YOU DON’T NEED SUPPLEMENTS.

We thrived as a species for quite a few years (tens of thousands!) before pills and powders came along, which means we can STILL thrive without them!  Nothing beats a solid long term diet and regular physical activity.

Just take a look at the name: “supplement.”  These products are meant to “supplement” a healthy diet, not “replace” it.

Like with any video game, a solid understanding of the basics (running, flying, driving) is the quickest way to succeed. Focus your efforts on the basics, too (and you’re reading the right website for that!).

People like Saint transformed without supplements:

People like Joe transformed without popping pills:

Staci’s transformation started to take shape only after she stopped trying methods like weight loss shakes and pills:

Here’s the secret: There is no pill, powder, or supplement that will get you the results you want!  

In addition to the success stories above, we have hundreds of Private 1-on-1 Coaching Clients right now who are working with Nerd Fitness Trainers and seeing incredible results. And guess what… almost none of them are using regular supplements as part of their training and diet.

There is no magic bullet that will cure all of your problems.

Any advertisement or commercial that tells you their supplement will help you lose weight or build muscle rapidly without making any other changes is full of sh**!

Talk to any of our experienced Nerd Fitness trainers and they all will say the same thing – it takes hard work, consistent effort, a focused plan, and dedicated nutrition.

If you want our help navigating this the sustainable, long-term way – you can schedule a completely free, quick call with a NF Team Member to see if coaching may be a good fit for you (and your potential coach) here. It takes just a few minutes to schedule.

Whether or not you need help with this process, stay away from anyone who wants to sell you the “power up” without bothering to tell you the importance of learning to play the game. Supplement companies bank on you looking for that quick fix.

Unfortunately, this is what far too many people do: Eat like crap. Sleep poorly. Skip exercise. Then take a bunch of pills designed to ‘cure’ the issues associated with that lifestyle…instead of TAKING STEPS TO FIX THE LIFESTYLE!  They look for the quick fix with minimal effort.

This is disastrous.

Here’s what Nerd Fitness Rebels do instead:  Eat right. Get plenty of sleep.  Strength train.

ONLY after that should you concern yourself with further increasing performance with supplements.

Tread lightly with the supplement industry

Sales of supplements in the United States reached $11.5 billion dollars in 2012.

People love get-fit-quick products because they promise results without all of that terrible stuff called ‘hard work.’

For that reason, the supplement industry has exploded, with vitamin shops and supplement stores popping up as fast as Apple stores.

Remember playing Mario Kart, racing past your friends going for the item box, hoping for red shells or star power. Instead, you suddenly explode; it wasn’t a powerup, it was a trap! The supplement industry is no different.

The sad reality is, the supplement industry is largely unregulated. Anybody can stick a bunch of ingredients in a tub, slap a $89.99 price tag on it, and make wild claims, regardless of whether or not it’s safe.  In fact, there’s no requirement to get approved by the FDA for your “dietary supplement” before you put it on the market.

This quick clip from the must-watch documentary “Bigger, Faster, Stronger” is incredibly eye opening:

The Truth about the American Supplement Industry

So, all supplements are bad?

Nay!

Sure, a strong majority of supplements are pure garbage and a waste of time. HOWEVER, there are situations in which having a supplement IN ADDITION to a quality nutritious diet can be beneficial.

Supplements can be helpful in filling in small deficiencies and increasing performance, depending on the person and situation. 

Now, there are different types of supplements:

Basic supplements with few to no added ingredients: think multivitamins, protein powders and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs).

Supplement cocktails, which throw a bunch of things into a pill or powder and promise muscle gains or quick fat loss, whether it’s a “pre-workout,” “meal replacement,” or “post workout.”  The names of these things generally have exclamation points, numbers for letters, and use Z’s instead of S’s.  You know which ones I’m talking about.

For the purposes of this article, we’re going to ignore the supplement cocktails, and suggest that people ignore their grandiose claims as well.  If you are an advanced bodybuilder or somebody who wants to take these types of supplements, there are sites out there dedicated to those very things.

For the rest of us, we’re going to cover the the most important stuff.

What supplements should I avoid?

Let’s go over the most popular supplements you SHOULDN’T use.  These are the bombs on the Mario Kart course that look suspiciously like the real thing.

Weight Loss/Performance Enhancers.  Weight loss pills are a big DO NOT USE.  I don’t care how much weight your friend lost using the most recent version of Hydroxicut or Lipo-6, they do not provide permanent healthy results, can be dangerous, and are not the way to go.

Here’s a quote from this article from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in reference to the fraudulent weight-loss diet pill industry:

“These products are not legal dietary supplements,” says Michael Levy, director of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Division of New Drugs and Labeling Compliance. “They are actually very powerful drugs masquerading as ‘all-natural’ or ‘herbal’ supplements, and they carry significant risks to unsuspecting consumers.”

At best, these supplements can provide short term weight loss.  More likely however, they’ll either be ineffective or create even more issues.  There are no shortcuts in health and fitness if you want the results to last.

Detoxes and Water Pills: Cleanses, 7 day detoxes, and the like have big claims for how much weight you can lose in a short amount of time.

And they work…except that the results aren’t real and only last a day or two, making you think you need to use them again:

Diuretics (water pills) decreases the amount of water in your system through various methods depending on the pill, dehydrating you.

“Fasting” or only drinking juice for a few days actually empties your body of any real food – which can weight a significant amount and can falsely swing the scale!

Detoxes and cleanses have been proven time and time again to be a complete scam.

Your body is 70% water for a reason – taking pills to reduce it can mess up your electrolytes, metabolism, your workouts, and can have lasting damage to your health.

Laxatives: Never take them for weight loss. The only thing laxatives actually do is cause your large bowel to empty, and the only reason you may “lose weight” while using them is that it decreases your overall water weight. Continued use (more than a week or two) can cause long term damage. If you think you’re absorbing less calories from your food by using them (a common myth) – you’re not.  Our body absorbs all of the calories in your food before the laxatives have any effects.

These three big categories are parlor tricks, not real solutions. Don’t be fooled! These options only treat the symptoms of an unhealthy lifestyle, rather than attacking the actual problem at its source: the unhealthy lifestyle.

Nerd Fitness can get you started down the right path, teach you to play the game properly, and it won’t cost you a dollar.  Start here, and mix in some of this, and thank me later 🙂

NOW, once you’ve addressed THOSE issues and put yourself on the path to an healthier lifestyle, we can talk about supplements that might be worth it for ya.

OK, but what about my morning multivitamin!?!

First, calm down.

I’m going to guess your doctor told you take a multivitamin every day.

If you’re taking one supplement right now, I bet this is it.  

So let’s get into it.  Believe it or not, the importance and effectiveness of multivitamins, the cornerstone of the health supplement industry, has been called into question. A massive study covering multivitamins determined that for a huge majority of healthy individuals with no deficiencies, multivitamins are largely unnecessary!

“On October 10, 2011, researchers from the University of Minnesota evaluated 39,000 older women and found that those who took supplemental multivitamins, magnesium, zinc, copper, and iron died at rates higher than those who didn’t. They concluded, “Based on existing evidence, we see little justification for the general and widespread use of dietary supplements.”

However, in another study different conclusions were drawn:

“Some scientists believe there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against taking a daily multivitamin, because there isn’t yet enough data from randomized controlled trials. (17) That’s a reasonable but short-sighted point of view since it may never be possible to conduct randomized trials that are long enough to test the effects of multiple vitamins on risks of cancers, Alzheimer’s disease, and other degenerative conditions.

Looking at all the evidence—from epidemiological studies on diet and health, to biochemical studies on the minute mechanisms of disease—the potential health benefits of taking a standard daily multivitamin appear to outweigh the potential risks for most people. (18)”

So, which one do we believe?  Personally, through our research we’re of the school of thought that a multivitamin can be beneficial for somebody that has nutritional deficiencies, is pregnant, or is above the age of 50.  Your focus should still be on eating a high quality, nutritious diet with plenty of vegetables, and a multivitamin could help plug any deficiences if you have them.

I reached this conclusion after discovering Dr. Roizen, who analyzed the data from the above study and pointed out a significant number of improvements from people that DID have some deficiency who took a multivitamin.

His recommendation: “You still will benefit from taking half a daily multivitamin containing important nutrients at levels close to their recommended daily allowance twice a day if you are potentially going to become, or are, pregnant, or as an insurance policy against an inadequate diet in people over 50.

Because there are so many options, here are some things to consider when picking a multivitamin:

Serving Size: If you are interested in taking a multivitamin, make sure you read the label and notice the serving size. Do you take it once a day? Twice a day?

Iodine: With the switch to non iodized salts and how bread is made (and less bread consumption), more people are seeing an iodine deficiency than we have seen in a long time.

Iron: I would suggest getting an iron panel from your doctor before taking a supplement with iron – Iron supplementation is quite complex and it is just often assumed that we need it (especially women).

Calcium: You don’t want a hugely high calcium content, despite the fact that you’ve probably been told “more calcium = stronger bones!”  Believe it or not, calcium deficiency is more complex than imagined.

Other ingredients: You’ll definitely want to check these if you’re trying to stay away from soy or if you’re a vegetarian.  Some have no “other ingredients,” and some are full of chemicals to keep them together.  Generally the higher the quality vitamin, the less other ingredients.

“Ugh, Steve. So do I take one or not?!” you say. Fine!

Bottom line: Eat a well-rounded diet, with plenty of vegetables (including dark leafy greens like spinach and kale) and skip the multivitamin. If you think you do have a nutritional deficiency, or you’re pregnant, consider a multivitamin after a chat with your doctor.

Just don’t expect to pop a multivitamin each morning and have it cure all issues.

What about protein powders?

You’ve probably heard people (or seen ads) talking about how protein powders are a necessary part of building muscle.  You might even have been told that you must drink a protein shake every two hours or your muscles will disappear faster than GOB’s yacht. 

The truth is…protein powders can ALSO be unnecessary.  

YES, protein is an important part of building muscle (protein is like…the building blocks you need to build your Starship Enterprise replica in Minecraft).  Your muscles need that protein, and can get that protein from either a protein supplement or from real food like chicken, steak, eggs, nuts, etc.

If you’re getting enough protein in your diet, there is no need for you to also take a protein supplement.  If you’re wondering, we recommend 1 gram of protein per pound (or 2 grams per KG) of lean body mass, which is your bodyweight minus how much body fat you have. If you don’t know that, aim for .8 grams per lb of total bodyweight.

Now, the benefit to protein powders: if you are very busy or trying to build muscle, finding a way to consume enough natural protein every day can be a challenge (which is where a convenient protein shake can come in handy).

“That’s great Steve, I’m busy! I don’t eat enough protein regularly. What do I do now?”

There are many different types of protein powders.

The big three on the market:

Whey protein

Egg protein

Soy protein

1) Whey protein is the most popular, readily available, and cheapest options.  Whey is what remains after milk has been curdled and strained. It contains lactose, so if you’re lactose intolerant, stay away from whey :).

2) Egg protein powders are made from, you guessed it, the protein in eggs – which means may be a great alternative if you can’t use whey.

3) The other most popular protein is soy, which is a complicated beast.   A lot of the more popular shakes on the market (like Body by Vi and Advocare) use soy protein, so be wary of those products. We’ll be doing a monster article soon on all things soy, so stay tuned.

When choosing a protein powder, make sure to look at the ingredients and find one from a reputable brand. Always do your research even if it is one the most popular brands (such as Muscle Milk). Some of these have had metals such as arsenic found in them.

We should also mention that many popular protein powders are just not great in terms of meeting their promises. Check out this lab ratings review of “high quality” protein powders that meet this reddit protein powder measurement results thread.  There’s lot of fraudulent stuff out there, so make sure you keep your Sherlock Holmes hat on when shopping!

The final word: pumping yourself full of 300g of protein isn’t necessary.  So, don’t overthink it.  Eat real food. If you cannot get enough protein every day, consider a protein supplement, understanding that it’s not gonna make you sprout Hulk-like muscles (here’s how to do that).

Tell me about other supplements!

I love your enthusiasm.  Let’s jump right in.  These are the supplements we get the most common questions about: 

Fish Oil: One of the most studied and widely accepted supplements as beneficial, touting claims anywhere from reducing inflammation to reducing depression.  However, like every other supplement out there, there are some negative claims too.

Examine feels like Fish Oil is important.  I know Sol and trust his research methods.  As does Mark’s Daily Apple.  Although you might hear otherwise, we don’t believe that Flaxseed Oil provides all the same benefits as Fish Oil, as pointed out here.

Vitamin D: Vitamin D can be an important supplement to consider if there isn’t any in your multivitamin, you don’t consume dairy, and you don’t get 20 minutes of direct sunlight every day. As Mark’s Daily Apple points out, dietary Vitamin D or Vitamin D from sunlight will produce the same results.

Although some say a Vitamin D supplement is a waste, Examine disagrees, as do we.  Vitamin D, either in supplement form or from direct sunlight, can be beneficial!

Branched Chain Amino Acids: BCAA’s are three amino acids – leucine, isoleucine, and valine.  These play a role in protein synthesis and glucose uptake into cells, which is definitely something we want to encourage when trying to build muscle. However, they are naturally found in protein and unless you are working out fasted, the studies are inconsistent at best on if supplementing with them will actually help with anything.  Conclusion? Get them from food!

Caffeine: This is often the main ingredient in weight loss supplements and performance enhancers, and for a reason – it definitely “speeds you up.”  It’s been shown to increase your endurance and power output, while reducing Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).

Now, you’ll definitely build up a tolerance to caffeine pretty quick (as any coffee drinker knows!), which means I would try to stay away from completely relying on caffeine for your workout energy. For more, check out our massive article on caffeine.

Creatine: Creatine is one of the most researched and commonly used supplements in the world.  It’s a substance that’s naturally occurring in your body, and is also found in food such as meats, eggs, and dairy.

Here’s a quick rundown: creatine stores phosphates in your body in the form of phosphocreatine, which aids in cellular function.  When you take creatine, your muscles can retain more water, which helps your muscles work more efficiently. Now, because one’s water weight is increased, creatine can make some feel bloated.

The verdict: If your goal is general weight loss and fitness, don’t worry about a creatine supplement.  It occurs naturally in your animal protein sources (like red meat).

However, if your goal is oriented towards powerlifting, increased athletic performance, or weightlifting, it may be something to consider. Do your research and make sure to check with your doctor.  There are conflicting reports about consumption of creatine and kidney issues with those who have preexisting kidney issues.  Again (as always), ask your doctor first!

Calcium: For most people, the calcium consumed from dairy, dark leafy greens, and/or in a multivitamin is enough.  You MIGHT consider taking a standalone calcium supplement, but we do not recommend it.  Recent studies have shown that our bodies process calcium supplements differently than calcium from food.  Aim to get calcium from real food.

Fiber: If you’re eating your veggies, you should not need a fiber supplement.  The goal should be about 25g-30g of fiber a day (about 14g per 1000 calories you consume).

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid): One of the most popular “leaning out” supplements – it’s a fatty acid that’s found in beef and dairy.  Some studies claim that it helps reduce body fat mass (in adults that exercise) but other studies show that results are inconsistent or that it does nothing.  In our opinion, you should focus on getting CLA through your diet, and not a supplement.

ZMA: This is just zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B.  Some sites claim that it boosts testosterone (though we can’t find any good studies to back this up), and performance, though this study shows otherwise. There are studies that show that magnesium and zinc can help you sleep. If you can get enough magnesium from items like nuts and leafy greens, and zinc from meat and/or shellfish, this supplement is not necessary.

Beta-Alanine: Beta alanine is found in a ton of pre-workout supplements. If you’ve ever gotten “tingles” after taking one – this is what they are from.  It’s a non-essential beta-amino acid that’s naturally occurring in the body and also found in many meats and eggs, and claims to reduce fatigue helping you get one extra rep.  Studies are inconsistent, but many do show a minor improvement. Conclusion? Supplement this naturally through your diet and protein rich foods like chicken, beef, and fish.

What else can I answer?

To answer your first few questions:

What do you think about [this supplement]?  I’m not a big supplement guy at all, so I may not have a strong opinion on your particular brand.  I’m gonna give a big shout out to my friend Sol Orwell over at Examine.com, who has done some of the most extensive research on supplements I have EVER seen.

What supplements do you take Steve?  BCAA (before a fasted workout, as recommended by Lean Gains), Whey Protein occasionally, Butter Oil/Fermented Cod Liver Oil (as recommended by 4-Hour Body, for experimentation purposes).

What supplements does Staci take? BCAA (when working out fasted), Whey Protein, ZMA, and a multi-vitamin (but only because of deficiencies due to some medical diet restrictions). She also takes fish oil if she doesn’t eat a lot of fish that week, but tries to get as much from her diet as possible.

PHEW!

Okay so this is a monster of a post, and a lot to get through.  Let me know what further questions you have – on this topic. I’ll do my best to chime in, understanding that I don’t know your particular health situation, I’m not a doctor, and I’m not even wearing any pants right now.

ONE FINAL THING: I’m going to guess that you’re looking to take supplements because you’re interested in getting bigger, stronger, and leaner. I can tell you that supplements make up less than 5% of the equation, and will only work if you’re ALSO eating a great diet and training correctly.

If you’ve spent time in a gym and aren’t getting results, you might not have a plan in place that works for your body type, lifestyle, and physiology – which might be why you’re reading this article in the first place – to get results sooner!

You’re in the right place – if you enjoyed this no-nonsense article on supplements, its because we live and breathe this stuff, helping busy people like you cut through the crap in the fitness industry and just focus on the key things that actually produce results.

The glamorous, Bong-Beauty, Riya Sen, known for her "Hot Bikini Body" and for her roles in blockbuster movies like Style, Jhankaar Beats, Apna Sapna Money Money, Shaadi No 1, Ragini MMS Returns & many more, believes in staying fit & healthy from inside to the out. Her social media presence continues to attract a large fan following. She is passionate about yoga & fitness and being a part of the glamour industry means that celebrities like her must maintain their fitness all-around the year. Riya Sen's upcoming movie includes Rokda, planned to release in 2019.

Recently, Riya visited the 'Prettislim Clinic' in Andheri West, Mumbai, to further improve her Fitness.

In a personal interview, Riya Sen shares her experience with Prettislim:

"I visited the Prettislim Clinic to enquire about the U-Lipo Sessions. After discussing with the clinic's doctors & dietitians, I decided to enroll for the session. I should say that the U-Lipo sessions were incredibly fabulous. It is non-invasive & very, very safe. After trying it, I can confidently say, that it has worked on me. I think, anyone who gets an opportunity or is interested in becoming fit, should come to the Prettislim Clinic & try U-Lipo. I also tried the 'Power Vibra Sessions' & it was absolutely amazing. Now, I am totally addicted to it. My personal dietician, Ms. Bhavna Dave, has now put me on this amazing and practical diet. Her sincere and genuine approach to my fitness needs ensures that I feel motivated and convinced to not cheat on my diet in any way. Bhavna is just incredible and I am now a big fan of the Prettislim Clinic."  She further added that, "U lipo is very good for any person who is busy or anyone who can only dedicate one hour of their time in a week. So if you get the opportunity, you must come to Prettislim & try the U-Lipo sessions. It is very, very effective, very safe & non-invasive. Don't wait to start your fitness journey, visit your nearest Prettislim clinic."

Riya Sen found out about the U lipo Body Shaping Treatment & Slimming Treatment, offered by the clinic through one of her friends from the industry.

 Prettislim is a 14-year-old slimming clinic, run by a team of qualified doctors & dietitians. It offers Weight Loss, Body Toning, Figure Correction, Inch loss, Tummy Tuck, Spot Reduction & many other services. It has 3 centers in Mumbai at Bandra, Andheri & Kandivali. Prettislim launched 4-In-1 U-Lipo, for the first time in India, 5 years ago & since then has helped hundreds of clients including many celebrities. Prettislim has been ranked as the No.1 Bariatric and Slimming Clinic in Mumbai in 2016, by All India Lifestyle Hospital & Clinic Survey, conducted By Times of India. Prettislim Clinic has also been selected as "The Economic Times Best Healthcare Brands" in 2016 & is also "The Official Fitness Expert of Fbb Colours Femina Miss India 2017". 

Prettislim is the brain child of Dr. Puneet Nayak and he believes that human body is the only place where you live in, so you can't neglect the same.            

Dr. Nayak says, "In our hectic lives one should not neglect our health and fitness. Celebrities need to maintain a toned & healthy body to look slim & fit on screen. Also most of celebs have erratic & busy work schedules, which makes the job difficult. Hence, at Prettislim, we have developed the non-surgical and most advanced 4-In-1 U-Lipo Treatment, which is safe, painless and clients lose up to 8 cm in each treatment from the targeted area. Also it only needs 1 hour a week, so it perfectly fits in the schedule of busy clients, including celebs. Prettislim also has a team of experienced dietitians & physicians to cover all aspects of fitness, including diet, lifestyle, medical problems, fitness, etc. Our programs help in spot reduction, body toning, figure correction, apart from slimming & weight loss."

He further adds that, "Riya has been a very sweet & cooperative client. She was regular for the sessions & followed all the instructions given to her during the course of her program. She was always truthful & upfront about all the aspects of the slimming program. She is a well-known yoga & fitness enthusiast & we are happy to help her in her fitness journey"

He also shares about his experience with Fbb Colours Femina Miss India finalists, who were consulted & trained at Prettislim clinic, since Prettislim was the Official Fitness Expert for the event. "All the finalists were quite aware of the diet & fitness regimen. They were quite excited & participated enthusiastically in all fitness activities. We gave them tips about body composition, diet & nutrition, healthy foods & charted individual fitness plans for them. They had many questions & concerns about body weight, slimming, figure correction, body shaping, etc. which we cleared one by one. Many of them showed keen interest in U-Lipo. In fact, Miss World, Manushi Chillar, who was also a finalist at that time & later went on to become Miss India & then Miss World, herself being an aspiring doctor, was quite aware of fitness concepts. She liked the concept of U-Lipo & recommended the same. She was impressed about the aspect of no side effects of U-Lipo, as it is completely non-surgical & also it only needs 1 hour a week, which is affordable by all"

Worth the Weight ~Baron Corbin Imagine~ *Smut*

Summary: When the number one contender for the women's championship gets a low-blow from Creative about her weight Baron takes it upon himself to show her how beautiful she really is. 

Warnings:smut, body shaming

I slammed the wooden door behind me, the paper sign reading ‘Creative’ flapping at the force. I pulled my hoodie over my freshly curled hair and purposefully walked down the hall quickly. Fresh tears pricking my blue eyes and threatening to ruin the elaborate match makeup that the sold out arena would never see. I passed by numerous stage hands and talent, keeping my head down in order to make it to my locker room and leave in peace. But the glee of giggles stopped me as I glanced over to see Eva Marie adjusting her new ring gear in a mirror as she laughed with a few of the other Divas.  She was preparing for my match, taking my opportunity. I felt my fists clench. But how could I be mad at her? I let this happen.

I heard my name called and paused to glance over my shoulder. My friend Becky sat cross legged on a stage crate concern painted on her features. Next to her stood Baron who’s concern mirrored Becky’s. His shirt stuck to the fresh layer of sweat that had accumulated on his body from his earlier match and his dark hair was pulled into a bun on top of his head.

“Don’t ya have a match?” Becky asked. The tears intensified and I blinked furiously glancing back at Eva.

“Not anymore” I mumbled lowly before tucking my head down pushing on to my locker room.

Baron called my name, his booming voice echoing off the walls as he caught up with me outside the door to my locker room.  He gently grasped my arms keeping me from running inside. He studied my face worry and concern flooding his features. My tears now streaming heavily down my reddened face. He pulled me to his chest.

“What’s going on?”

His voice was softer this time as I clutched to his frame desperate for the comfort he provided. I mumbled my answer into his chest.

“Can’t hear ya babe.” I pulled away from his chest with a sniff.

“Creative said I gained too much weight. They cut my match” I cried harder as the words left my mouth.

“They did what?” Baron exclaimed his dark eyes a mix or pity and anger.

“It was awful. They had pictures of me from some of my matches and they had circled my stomach and legs where they said it was too much.” I sobbed. “Apparently a fat Dakota Morgan isn’t what they envisioned for my character so they’ve cut out most of my matches until I can lose the weight. That means they pushed my title shot back too.”

“Kota” he whispered softly, fingers pushing back my auburn hair softly.

“They gave my match tonight to Eva. Can you believe that?”

Baron shook his head. “Look get cleaned up and meet me right here. We’ll head to the hotel and have a Supernatural marathon.” He grasped my hand twisting his pinkie with mine. “Deal?”

I smiled softly and whispered hoarsely “Deal.”

About fifteen minutes later both Baron and I were loaded into his rental and driving to our hotel. We were both silent, a rock station playing softly from the radio. I was still upset about my meeting with creative, their “professional criticism” hitting me harder than I would have liked.  Maybe they were right maybe I was getting too fat. Traveling made it hard to always eat healthy and I had gained some weight when I had gone home for the holidays. My train of thought was broken as I felt something warm on my hand. Looking down I saw Baron’s much larger hand enveloped over mine. His eyes briefly left the road and he gave me the smallest of smiles.

Baron Corbin. What would I do without him? He was a great friend, no, scratch that my best friend. We had become close in developmental, we traveled together, worked out together, ate together, spent our off days together, and most recently started rooming together to help on cost. We were mistaken for a couple on many occasions, a sentiment we just laughed off. However, I wouldn’t mind if it were true.  In public he was a man of few words but behind closed doors he was sweet and funny. Baron was a hard book to read though. I knew he cared for me, at least as a friend. He would occasionally kiss my forehead or cheek, hug me from behind randomly, surprise me with my favorite coffee to encourage me to get out of bed in the mornings but that didn’t mean he liked me did it?

 Once we arrived at our hotel room we both changed into comfy clothes and I set to pulling up the next episode to be watched of Supernatural on my Netflix while Baron went to the bathroom. I pulled up my Twitter as I waited; scrolling through the tweets fans had tagged me in. I favorited most and replied to a couple. Baron came back and got comfortable beside me as he started the episode. I kept scrolling when I stopped my thumb hovering over the illuminated screen.

‘@DakotaMorganWWE does NOT need to wear a crop top and shorts. Can we get her a snow suit? #Eww #porker #oinkoink’

‘Does @WWE not supply their talent with trainers and nutritionist? Hey, @DakotaMorganWWE lay off the candy and you might make it to a title shot.”

‘If @WWE is a multi-billion dollar company can’t they pay for @DakotaMorganWWE to get some lipo. She’s a great wrestler, terrible cellulite. She needs to hit up Dr. Miami!’

I felt the tears prick my eyes again. Of course I had always received things like this but after meeting with creative it was like salt in an open wound. Baron seemed to notice my lack of interest in the show after I failed to laugh at one of Dean Winchester’s jokes. Baron glanced over at me seeing my tears he yanked the phone from my hand and stood.

“Why are you reading this shit?” Baron barked tossing my phone onto the dresser after he read through it. I didn’t respond only cried more. Baron sighed.

“Stand up.”

I looked at him confused.

“Stand.Up.”

I did as he said, his tone leaving no room for argument, and stood before him as he turned me to face the full length mirror on the wall.

“Strip.”

“W-what?”I stammered feeling a heat rush to my cheeks as I turned to look at him but Baron turned me back .

“I said strip.”

With trembling fingers I tugged off my oversized tshirt and let the sweatpants slid down my legs before Baron kicked them out of the way. Looking back in the mirror I tried hard not to stare at the areas that seemed to be causing me so many problems.

“Tell me what you see.”

I shrugged “I see me”

“No. Describe yourself to me.”

I sighed running my hands up and down my face. My plain black cotton bra and lace cheekies made me feel so exposed and vulnerable.

“I wouldn’t say I’m fat but I’m chunky here” I let my hands touch around my stomach “And my thighs. And I have no ass, my skins pale, my boobs are too big and I have the boring blue eyes and stupid auburn hair and-“

Angry tears began to fall as I ranted finally pausing as my lip quivered and I looked down at my burgundy painted toes.

“No one’s ever gonna take me serious. Not at work, not in life. Not anything. That’s why Eva Marie is going to replace me. She has the body. I don’t.”

There was a long pause.

“You don’t see it do you?”

I looked up at Baron confused. His dark eyes were shining with a glint of hurt. In two strides he stood behind me and was staring me down in the mirror and I all I wanted was to throw my clothes back on and hide under a mountain of blankets.

“You’re not fat, you’re not chunky. You’re absolutely fucking beautiful. Your body isn’t designed to be like Eva’s or Nikkis or any other Divas that’s what makes you so great Dakota. You’re you, you’re real and that’s what your fans love about you.”

I smiled softly. Barons hands rand down my arms and wrapped around my waist.

“You’re the perfect size.”

His hands ran down my hips to my thighs and back making chills erupt across my skin. I stood frozen watching his every movement with raspy breaths.

What was he doing?

“Every inch of you.”

He nuzzeled his nose into my neck his lips ghosting over the skin.

Dear God, he was going to kill me.

“You’re ass…”he drifted off, his hands reaching back to kneed the flesh of my ass with his fingertips “Is flawless. You’re squat game is strong baby girl.” He chuckled into my neck before a loud slap filled the air and I jumped a whimper falling from my lips and my thighs clenched together at the sudden slap to my ass.

Yep, definitely tring to kill me.

“And your skin is the perfect shade to match those gorgeous blue eyes.” His hands traced back up my body and gently grasped my throat pulling my head to one side as the other hand tangled in my hair. “I love when you’re talking to me and I can see the passion in your eyes makes me never want to look away. I can tell exactly what you’re feeling just by looking in those baby blues. And your hair, God I love how your hair catches the sun. I love when you let it dry naturally and it curls around your face.”

My eyes fluttered closed feeling his hands trace over my skin the roughness of his fingers tracing over my skin so delicately.

Suddenly he grabbed my breasts roughly through my bra. “And you’ve got the best rack I’ve ever seen. All natural.”

“Want to know my favorite part?” Baron growled softly in my ear.

I could only nod my voice lost. Baron turned me to face him and in one swift movement had grabbed under my thighs and wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling me flush against him my head tucked under his chin.

“Look” he instructed. Turning sideways to look at the mirror. “You fit perfectly. Right here in my arms.”

He was right. With my legs wrapped around his waist and my head tucked under his chin my body seemed to naturally mold into his. Without a gap to be seen, you couldn’t tell where he ended and I began. I pulled my head away to look up at him. His cologne was intoxicating and his eyes were searching mine. He swallowed hard and licked his lips.

“I really want to fucking kiss you right now.” He murmrered.

“Please?” my voice was small, pleading.

Baron’s lips met mine in an instant. Quickly maneuvering with mine in a perfect pace, his tongue traced over my bottom lip antagonistically slow and I moaned as I granted him entrance his tongue exploring my mouth eagerly. My hands circled around his neck as I pulled his hair free from the band. It took three steps before he dropped me on the bed and I felt small as his 6’8 frame stood over me.

“I want you to see yourself like I see you.” He breathed heavily yanking off his tshirt and crawling on top of me. He began placing wet open-mouthed kisses at the base of my throat between my breasts to the hem of my panties. “I want you to feel beautiful, wanted, desired, and loved.”

I moaned as he kissed a trail back up to my lips his fingers molding into my hips. His beard tickled my neck as he gently grasped my earlobe between his teeth.

“Do you want me to show you how beautiful you are?’

His voice made my eyes want to roll back into my head with pleasure. I didn’t answer him only pulled him back to me for a deep kiss as my nails ran down his back to his basketball shorts. Baron stopped my hand with a chuckle.

“Impatient”

He unclasped my bra and tossed it aside devoting his full attention to my bust. I gasped as he took a nipple into his mouth sucking and nipping, his hands slipping under me to hold me closer to his mouth. My hands wrapped in his hair holding him to me as I mewled in pleasure beneath him. He released my nipple with a pop before working on the other.

I felt the heat between my thighs intensify and I began to wiggle desperate for some type of friction. Baron dropped his hips capturing me between the bed and his lower body weight to cease my movements. I gasped feeling the impressive outline of dick through his shorts.

“You see what you do to me.” He growled into my skin. “How hard you make me.”

I whined desperate to feel more of him. My fingers slipped into the band of shorts and tugged them down as he lifted his hips to help me. His dick sprang free from its restraints and pressed against my leg thick, hot, and heavy.

I desperately tried to reach touch him but he stopped me with a tsk moving further down my body with hot kisses.

“This is all about you sweetheart.”

I ran my hands through my hair in frustration as Baron peppered kisses around my panty line. My eyes fluttered closed and I bit down on one of my fingers in ecstasy as Baron’s hot breath hit my soaked core through the black lace and a shudder ripped through my body as he placed kisses across the lace.

“Beautiful” Barron mumbled against my hip bone the vibrations of his voice making me squirm against him.  He hooked his fingers through the lace and gently dragged it down my legs placing kisses down my right leg to my toes, he tossed my panties to the side before kissing back up my left leg. The scruff of his beard tickled my belly as Baron’s lips ghosted over my navel as he kissed down to my core.

“Baron” I whispered before I felt his tongue give a long swipe up my folds. My body jerked at the sensation a cry falling from my lips. Baron wrapped a thick tattooed arm around my waist to hold me down helping me put my legs over his shoulders as he set to work devouring me.

My body twisted and turned on the sheets my fingers finally tangling in Baron’s hair to hold him in place as moans and cries filled the hotel room. His lips captured my clit massaging the bundle of nerves between his full lips as two thick fingers entered me.

“Oh fuck” I cried as the two sensations collided in breathtaking ecstasy the muscles in my stomach tightening. My eyes clenched and I felt a white hot bolt explode as my body shuddered, pleasure flowing down to the ends of my fingertips and toes.

Baron pulled back and gave me a seductive smirk my juices still glistening on his lips. The sight alone was enough to drive me into another orgasm. He kissed each of my inner thighs softly before placing them back on the bed and crawling back to me, claiming his lips with mine. His tongue danced with mine sharing the taste of my juices. I moaned at the thought feeling another rush of heat at my core.

“So good” he breathed ghosting his lips over mine “So fuckin’ sweet. I think I found my new favorite meal.” He chuckled.

I pulled him down close again kissing his lips before trailing my lips down his neck and gently biting his shoulder. Baron growled as his hands trailed down my sides to my legs and spread them, wrapping them around his waist. He pulled me in for another kiss as he pushed his length inside of me. I gasped biting his lip gently as I adjusted. It had been so fuckin long and his impressive length and girth were pushing my limits.

Baron gently kissed my forehead “You ok?”

I nodded biting my lip. “Please” I whimpered, imploringly.  

Baron set a steady pace pulling mostly out before pushing back in deeply. His lips latched on to my neck sucking and biting as his hips thrust in to mine our moans and the smacking of skin creating a melody.

“So fuckin tight” he moaned in my ear. “I want to see you ride me baby girl.”

I tightened my legs around his waist and then used all of my strength to roll him over onto his back. Baron looked up at me surprised. I captured his mouth before trailing kisses down his chest and stomach my nails scraping behind. He clenched his eyes shut, tossing his head back and growling deep in his throat. I grasped his dick and positioned myself above him, using the head of his dick to rub against my entrance mischievously.

“Fuck don’t be a tease”

I chuckled before lining myself up with him and sinking down onto his length. The new position offered a new angle and I felt him stretch my walls even more so to accommodate him. I started a steady pace enjoying the feeling of Baron’s dick stretching my walls as he pushed deeper inside.

“God you’re fucking gorgeous” Baron breathed keeping a hand on my hip as he gently grasped my throat. He ran a finger over my lips and I caught it between my lips teasingly sucking the digit. I felt the first shudder break through my body as Baron pulled my down flush against him his hips snapping up to fill me. My hardened nipples were pushed into his chest as our mouths battled.

Suddenly Barron withdrew and I whined at the loss of warmth and the empty feeling it left. He pushed me on my side and wrapped himself around me from behind lifting my leg up over his as he drove his dick back inside of me. This new pace was rough and fast and I felt my orgasm fast approaching. Baron had one breast in his hand twisting and pulling at the nipple as he buried his face in my neck. His other hand wrapped tight around my waist to hold my body flush against his body. I could feel every inch of his muscles in his chest and stomach as they twitched and tensed at the exertion.

“Fuck Baron” I moaned purposefully clenching my walls around him. “I’m gonna cum.”

“Me too baby me too” He grunted pushing his pace a little harder as his hand traveled down between my legs to play with my clit.

Baron pulled his face away from my neck and met his gaze with mine. “I want to see you cum, I want to see what your pretty face looks like when I make you come undone around me. Cum for me sweetheart.”

I moaned at his words feeling my walls clench down and with a final flick of his fingers I reached my second orgasm. My body shuddered, a strangled cry of Baron’s name falling from my lips and I pushed myself further into Baron’s body as he held me to him. Baron crashed his lips with mine as I felt him release inside of me, his hot cum filling me up.

Never in my life had I felt this good, this carefree. Baron had made me feel beautiful and worshipped. Like a goddess he would indulge with every pleasure known to man.

As we both pulled away our chests heaving Baron kissed my forehead. He gently pulled his dick from me and I immediately missed the feeling. Baron went to sit up when I turned and wrapped myself around him.

“Don’t go” I whispered. “Just stay here. I want to enjoy this.”

Baron settled back beside me and wrapped me in his arms as I cuddled into his chest. I shivered as the cool air hit my naked body and Baron pulled the blankets over us.

“Thank you.”

“No problem sweetheart.” He pressed a kiss into my hair. “And don’t worry about Creative. We’ll revamp your meal plans and workouts have you back ready for that title shot in no time.”

“One request?” I asked tracing the tattoos on his chest and placing a kiss over the star.

“What’s that?”

“Can we replace cardio in the gym with sex?”

Baron belted out a loud, deep laugh that rumbled across the room.

“I’m serious” I pouted “Fuck Baron you made me cum twice! No one’s ever don’t that before.”

Baron gave me a smirk as he leaned in closer “And no one else will ever get the chance to. You’re mine.”

He pushed his mouth to mine and I pulled him closer feeling my smile spread even larger as he rolled over on top of me.

“Think you can handle more than two? Cause darlin’ I’m just getting started”

And with a wicked grin Baron disappeared below the blankets his lips trailing over my body before he reached the apex of my thighs and I bit my lip with a face splitting grin as I fell into the pillows.
