“Where’s Lu?” you inquire as you enter the locker room, surprised to see Luca still at the station.

“With a sitter,” Luca answers, smiling. “I couldn’t leave you on the night shift without me.”

“Deac did,” Hondo laments.

“Only because Luca agreed to stay,” Street defends. “Don’t be jealous they have people who love them.”

“One more chance, Street,” Hondo warns jokingly. “Seriously, Luca, if you want to head out, man, go ahead. It’s going to be a slow night, and Lu is probably better company than us.”

“I’d rather be with Lu than here,” you agree.

“She’s started asking her teachers to call her Lu because of you guys,” Luca says with a chuckle. When you laugh, he points at you to add, “Mostly you!”

“It’s not my fault she liked Narnia when I watched it with her!”

“But you pointed out that her last name is Luca, so she could use it too!”

You shrug, unwilling to admit that you aided in creating the nickname but unable to blame anyone else. Luca’s phone begins ringing, and you watch him furrow his brows at the caller ID before he answers.

“Renee, hey,” he greets. “Is everything okay?”

Street and Hondo stop when Luca inhales, and you stand from the bench as he listens intently to whoever is on the other end of the line.

“Lu, Lu, calm down,” Luca says, his voice even despite the apparent fear in his expression. “Where are they now?”

Hondo taps Luca’s shoulder, and Dom shakes his head. The current situation is bad, but you're sure it will only get worse.

“Wait, say that again?” Luca requests as he drops his hand away from his ear and changes the call to be on speaker.

“He said something about patrols and pushed her out of the door!” Luca’s daughter, lovingly nicknamed Lu, whispers.

You nod and gently squeeze Luca’s bicep before you rush out of the locker room and toward the situation room. He ran a background check on his babysitter, so you already have her name. You can now begin looking into any associates she might have and what ‘patrols’ have to do with someone forcing her out of Luca’s house. It doesn't take much digging to decide Lu must have misheard 'paroles.'

As you look through her DMV information, Hondo and Street move closer to Luca as his daughter expresses her fear that the man will return.

“Dad,” Lu begins.

Glass shatters in the background, and Luca’s heart feels like it skips a beat. Being a father is simultaneously the best part of his life and the most fear-inducing. Every day since she was born, he’s been worried about what would happen to her. In his bad moments, he is terrified that someone will hurt her because of his job or that he’ll be killed and she’ll lose him. Now, his worst nightmare seems to be coming to reality.

“Lu?” Luca asks softly.

“There she-“ someone else murmurs before the call ends and Luca’s phone beeps.

He resists the urge to throw the device, shifting his focus to his daughter and the danger. He planned to spend a slow shift at HQ, try again to work up the courage to invite you over for dinner, and then be home to make Lu breakfast. His night has changed, but he doesn’t have to do it alone.

“We’re going to find her, Luca,” Hondo promises. “Let’s roll.”

“No,” Luca replies. “We need more information. She may not even be at the house now and we can’t risk wasting any time.”

Street nods and leads Luca and Hondo to the situation room, where you’re leaning over a keyboard as Hicks and Rocker converse quietly behind you.

“We’ve got you covered,” Rocker tells Luca, looking up when he sees them enter. “Go save your little girl.”

Luca dips his chin in thanks, then walks to your side to ask, “Find anything?”

“Renee’s baby daddy,” you answer, clicking on another picture. “Recognize him, Luca? You arrested him for drug trafficking in ‘18. He’s been out for a while, but…”

“His brother didn’t get paroled,” Luca finishes. “Darryl Jones... Why take Renee out of the house?”

“Let’s ask where before we wonder why,” Hondo redirects. “Where would Jones go?”

“His mother has a house in Anaheim that she rents out,” Street says, reading the file on the screen. “It’s occupied by renters, but if he’s desperate.”

“Guys,” you call. When their eyes are on you, you ask, “What about the baby?”

Luca’s heart hammers in his ears as he rides in the back of Black Betty. His mind races with thoughts of his daughter, Lu. He remembers her birth, her first steps, the moment that he held her for the first time as a single father. As long as he focuses on that, he won’t be plagued by images of the danger his daughter may be in or how strange it is to be out of the driver’s seat.

“We’re going to find them, Luca,” Street promises.

“Deacon is meeting some of the 50 squad guys at your house,” Hondo says. “Are you sure you want to roll with us?”

Luca nods once, leaving no room for further debate. He will do whatever he can to get his daughter home safely and be there when she’s found. With you back at HQ communicating between the teams and scouring cameras and internet messages for clues about where Darryl and Renee are and his team at his side, Luca knows the danger won’t hurt Lu. There’s no other choice.

Luca is walking out of Darryl Jones’ mother’s house - her empty house - when his phone rings. It’s an unknown number, but he answers it and immediately asks, “Lu?”

“Not exactly, Officer Luca.”

“Darryl Jones,” Luca replies, waving for Hondo.

“Good memory. I’ve got someone who wants to talk to you.”

“Mr. Luca?” Renee asks.

“Renee, what happened?” Luca demands.

“He was going to hurt my baby,” she whispers. “I’m sorry. But I won’t let him-“

“She’s not calling the shots,” Darryl interrupts while Renee whimpers as he rips the phone away.

“This has nothing to do with my daughter. It’s between me and you,” Luca says.

“It was. You led us here, Dominique,” Darryl replies, his voice low and tight.

“Lay one finger on my daughter-“

“Lu is fine. For now. Your house, tonight at 7. Just me and you. Understood, officer?”

Luca clenches his jaw before he agrees, “Understood.”

“Who was that? Darryl?” Hondo inquires as he reaches Luca’s side.

“No,” Luca lies. “Wrong number.”

Hondo nods and makes another promise he can’t keep about finding Lu and getting everyone home safely. Luca doesn’t listen, planning to make tonight go well without leading his daughter into a criminal’s trap.

“Where’s Deacon?” Luca asks.

Luca walks from the corner to his front yard, slowing when he sees Darryl Jones waiting on his porch. He sits on the stairs, tossing a tennis ball between his hands as he smiles.

“Where’s my daughter?” Luca asks.

“Inside with Renee. One word from me and they both get a bullet. Listen closely, Luca, this is what’s going to happen,” Darryl explains, standing as he threatens Luca’s daughter.

“So, Kyle’s here?”

Darryl’s face drops and Luca takes a step closer, his expression and tone serious as he adds, “Then it’s a good thing I didn’t come alone either. Let my daughter walk out to me unharmed and my team might give you a head start.”

“No, no, this wasn’t the deal,” Darryl argues, pulling a pistol from his waistband. “He will kill her.”

“For what?” Luca asks, forcing Darryl backward toward the front steps as he crowds him. “Because your brother didn’t get parole? It’s not my fault you both lived up to your potential.”

“That’s it!” Darryl snaps. “Kyle!”

“You’re right,” Hondo agrees, stepping out the front door with his gun aimed at Darryl. “That’s it. Drop your weapon and raise your hands where I can see them.”

“Your kid is dead, pig,” Darryl growls.

Hondo smiles at Luca over Darryl’s shoulder and gestures toward the house. When Luca looks to the side, Darryl lunges toward him. As Hondo rushes forward, Luca turns to the side and wraps his hands around Darryl’s arm to throw him to the ground. Dropping to his knee, Luca pins his daughter’s captor to the ground, driving his face into the dirt and handcuffing Darryl’s hands behind his back.

“There’s someone inside who’s like to see you,” Deacon announces as he leads Renee out of the front door with her baby against his side. “And someone at HQ who is very concerned about you both.”

Hondo takes Luca’s position before Luca runs inside.

“Dad!” Lu cries, jumping into his arms.

Luca pulls Lu tight against his chest, cradling her head beneath his chin. “I’ve got you,” he murmurs. “I love you, Lu.”

“I love you, Dad,” she replies. “It was scary. He-“

“I know,” Luca assures her. “It won’t happen again, sweetheart.”

“For you,” Street grumbles as he hands his phone to Luca. “You’re welcome.”

“Hello?” Luca greets, holding Lu with his free arm and kissing her forehead.

“Is Lu okay?” you ask. “Where are you?”

“We’re fine,” Luca answers. “We’re…” He looks at Lu and how her eyes move warily around the room before she hides her face against her father again. “Would you mind some company tonight?”

Back at HQ, you smile at the idea of having Luca and Lu with you tonight and helping them feel safe after the evening they’ve had. “I wouldn’t mind at all.”

EVERYONE WELCOME...!!

LUCIA FLOQUET!!!!!!

I've been brainstorming for two days on how to word my thoughts out, specifically for step 2.......

At 10 years old Lucia Floquet moved to Golden all the way from France, she was skeptical with the whole moving out from the continent. But how much worse could it be? She barely bat an eye back in France, not having much friends, when people come up to her she ignores them. But she'll definitely miss the pastries, especially the mille-feuille. Those are her favorites. (Mille-feuille are French pastries that has three layers of puff pastry and two layers of pastry cream. And on top icing sugar or fondant. You can add jam or fruits.)

Lucia is a cis girl — but that's only in step 1. With a few doubts here in there still back in step 1.

If Lucia tolerates you enough, she can be a playful and teasing — if you're a girl. Lucia is the complete opposite. Hell, won't knowledge you once and if she did she'll just be plain with you. Even if you knew her since diapers she'll act as if you two are just neighbors, that's all you'll get.

THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LEADS!!!!!

Whenever you would ask Lucia about love, she'll look at you weird.

When Tamarack Baumann popped out of the leaves, Lucia was caught off guard was an understatement, but she tought Tamarack was so pretty, and so she blurted it out and quickly got embarrassed right after, but Tamarack just compliment her back plus her bow. Which Lucia complimented back with her hair tie.

They bonded very easily and attached to the hip! It was easier since they we're both girls, Lucia tought.

When she saw Qiu Lin up at his "hideout", she liked his hoodie, but quickly got annoyed by his personality and ignored him half the time. But as time passes she slowly started to tolerate him.

(

When I was making her outfit I found this one rlly pretty and it suited them)

Gender dysphoria warning!! Read at ur own risk.

Lu personality did a whole 180° when they stepped into teenage hood.

Lu is no more a polite person, barely talks and is biting in general.

Not comfortable being called a "miss" anymore and people calling them their old name just icks her, deciding to shorten it sound it doesn't sound too 'feminine' but that's not their government name, just a nickname. And in this step they go by she/they, but feels less uncomfortable with 'they'.

In their room, when they we're twelve they used to have a mirror in the corner but now it's covered, not feeling comfortable with their look and how their body looked, more specifically their chest and would only wear baggy clothes with two baggy sweater under their hoddie to cover it up.

Their hair was annoying too, it grown over the years and people would come up and braid it for fun and compliment it. Lu we're grateful and happy for the compliments but they found it annoying and triggering when their strand of hair would rest on the back of their neck, feeling like carrying weight on their back which is why they put it up in a bun or ponytail most of the time.

Once they were home alone they really could take it anymore and still in their mind, they decided to cut their hair and that felt like the weight was finally off their shoulder and they could finally breath in peace. And asked their mom if they could them dye their hair.

(their hair went trought it all)

They're still best friends with Tee of course, going on walks in the forest and Lu talking about their gender, talking about they don't feel comfortable with their own skin and not feeling like someone.

And with Qiu? Their relationship grew between their years, knowing Autumn can count on them and they can do in return.

(Also why do people think they're dating or or something??)

BUT THE RAIN DOESN'T FALL FOREVER BABY!!!!!!

Lucas can proudly call themselves a man with he/him pronous but won't mind they/them. After tough battles of the storm the clouds dissipate from the side and the sun shine. He finally feels comfortable with his own skin.

Relationship with Tee? Yeah uhm, they're siblings. Can't tell anyone or them otherwise.

And Qiu? Uhmm....

Yeah so, Lucas knows what he's feeling for Qiu, and what he felt when he still battling. He actually likes them. Like, a lot..a lot, lot. But is scared to commit, scared to destroy the friendship in between of them. Everyone has to suffer and often encourage the other to just give hints and confess but Lucas rather shit himself than 'ruin' what's good between them.

WHOOOOOHOOOO there he is!! Btw he's the mc that I was talking about when I introduced Mariana :3 Thank you for taking your time to read this and have a great day/afternoon/night!!

January 4, 2023

Luca squinted his eyes at the morning sunlight coming through the window and turned his head hiding his face in Julianna’s golden hair.

Luca wrapped his arm around her waist gently caressing her back as she snuggled closer, he could feel his girlfriend slowly waking up.

Waking up in bed with Julianna has quickly become one of Luca’s favorite things in the world, especially with Julianna in his arms. Luca spends more nights now in her apartment than he does his dorm, especially with them both being so busy in their own athletics spending the night together was a good amount of time they got together.

“Jules.” Luca softly whispered feeling her trying to cuddle even closer to him, he smiled lovingly as he pulled the blanket even higher on her shoulders knowing she absolutely hates being cold and especially hates waking up cold.

Luca kissed the top of her head softly as he gently rubbed her hip letting her wake up slowly.

“Hm.” Julianna hummed sleepily pressing a kiss to the inside of the arm that was wrapped around her and kept her eyes closed.

“Good morning amore.” Luca softly whispered his voice still incredibly raspy from waking up.

Julianna happily hummed, her favorite thing is hearing Luca call her a name in Italian but especially when he has just woken up.

“Morning love.” Julianna softly mumbled as she lifted her head up resting her chin on his chest and looking up at him with sleepy eyes and sleepy smile.

Luca brought his hand to her face and gently cupped her face caressing her cheek softly as she happily leaned into his touch.

Luca knew he was so lucky to be able to wake up to her most days and it isn’t something he will ever take for granted.

He leaned down pressing a slow kiss to her forehead.

Julianna groaned and reluctantly got out of Luca’s warm embrace and sat up in bed stretching as Luca sat up leaning against her headboard quickly distracting her with having no shirt on and the marks all over him that are a reminder of last night.

“Luca.” Julianna groaned as she saw him smirking once he caught her staring.

Luca let out a very fond but loud laugh at her embarrassment, he leaned forward gently grabbing her wrists pulling her hands from her face and pulled her up to him and set her down onto his lap.

“I need to shower.” Julianna tried to be stern as she set her hands on his bare chest to stop him from getting any closer.

“Good me too.” Luca cheekily replied standing up making her squeal as he picked her up and carried her to her bathroom, “We can save water.” Luca mumbled against her skin as he pressed a kiss to her neck and shut the door behind her.

Luca came out of the shower before Julianna and got dressed and hopped onto her bed staring up at the ceiling deep in thought.

“Lu?” Juliana called out softly coming out of the bathroom brushing her wet hair seeing Luca deep in thought.

Luca blinked snapping out of it turning his head to his gorgeous girl and smiled gently at her and he held out her hand towards her and she easily agreed setting her hairbrush down and walked over to him grabbing his hand and gently climbing on top of him.

“What’s going on in that head of yours?” Julianna soflty asked brushing her hands gently through his wet hair.

“What if he doesn’t approve?” Luca looked nervous as he asked.

Julianna hummed in realization, Luca was nervous to meet Jack.

Obviously they have met slightly through the phone from one of the many times Jack and Julianna FaceTime with each other but Luca was always respectful for the fact the twins don’t get alot of time together so he always lets Julianna talk to him alone.

Luca and Jack haven’t had any time to meet in person yet with all three of their busy schedules never lining up until today when the Devils are in town to play the Red wings and luckily for them it was a pretty early game and Jack wasn’t leaving until the morning so they would have a good amount of time to spend together after the game.

“He’s gonna love you.” Julianna soflty reassured him and she was being truthful she knew her twin would love Luca, “He’s going to act like a little shit in the beginning just to be a protective brother but he will love you.” Julianna knows Jack will be pretty protective but she knew he was already fond of Luca for how happy he makes her.

“Trust me, if you managed to win over Lukey you’ll be fine with Jacky and Quinny. Lukey is the hardest to win over.” Julianna softly told Luca, Luke has always been extremely possessive of his older sister and use to cry when he was younger and she had a friend over always wanting her full attention. Quinn would be completely fine with Luca as long as Luca is making her happy and treating her right. Jack is her twin and she knows he truthfully will like Luca because she likes him so much.

“Okay.” Luca nodded looking alot less nervous knowing Julianna wasn’t lying and being completely honest so he was glad to know what to expect.

“Now i need to get ready.” Juliana softly booped his nose and pressed a kiss to his cheek before she hopped off him and headed to her vanity in her bedroom and plopping down.

Luca smiled knowing she would take a while getting ready because she likes to take her time when she can and Luca will gladly wait for however long she needs.

Luca looked up after a pretty long time and saw her step out of form her closet slipped her boots on, she was wearing a pair of black jeans, red cropped long sleep with a vintage new jersey devils jacket that she added a 86 patch on for Jack and he knew she already had one to add for Luke and a pair of red heeled boots.

He stood up sliding his phone in jeans back pocket and walked over gently grabbing her hand and spinning her around slowly making her giggle happily.

“Absolutely beautiful amore.” Luca lovingly spoke pressing a soft kiss on her cheek and watched as she smiled looking pleased.

“You ready to go?” Julianna asked looking up at him. Luca nodded and grabbed his shoes putting them on one put on a backwards cap.

Luca grabbed Julianna’s hand and they headed out of her apartment.

Luca opened the passenger door for her and closed it once she got it and walked to the drivers side.

Luca started the car quickly turning on the heated seat for Julianna and started the drive to the Red Wings Arena.

Julianna intertwined her hand with Luca’s letting it rest on her thigh as he drove them.

Luca pulled into the parking spot in the Arena on the Red Wings and hopped out of the car opening the door for Julianna before she could and he got a very thankful smile in return.

Luca grabbed her hand intertwining their hands together as they walked in, the two were not at all hiding their relationship from the public, they have posted each other on their socials.

They walked together to their seats grabbing a snack on the way before they sat down just as the national anthem was about to start.

Jack’s face lite up as he searched the crowd and saw his twin sister sitting in the area she said she would be in, he waved excitedly making her beam and wave back.

The devils won 5-1.

Luca watched Julianna most of the game instead of the game as she is usually watching him play this is the first time they have been hockey game together and watched it together, he saw the way she crossed her fingers when Jack and the puck and crackled her knuckles when the other team had a shot on goal, it was adorable and Luca fell even more for his beautiful girl.

Julianna bounced on her feet excitedly as they waited for Jack to walk out of the locker room.

Luca smiled lovingly at her and pressed a kiss to the side of her head.

“Annie!” Jack cheered as he hurried out of the locker room and the twins quickly rushed to each other hugging each other tightly.

“Jacky.” Julianna breathed out smiling widely as she clung to her twin.

“I missed you.” Jack whispered softly, he hated not spending every day with his twin and would do anything to be able to change that.

“I missed you so much.” Julianna whispered back, “I want you to meet Luca.” Julianna smiled as she pulled back looping her arm with Jacks and walking to Luca and gently grabbing Luca’s hand.

Jack looked at him suspiciously, He has heard all about Luca from his twin and he knows it’s very serious to her because she has never had a boyfriend that she has cared this much for and that made Jack on edge not wanting her to get hurt but he also know Luke approved so Luca can’t be terrible.

“Luca this is my brother Jack, Jackie this is Luca my boyfriend.” Julianna proudly introduced two of her favorite people ever.

“It’s nice to meet you, Jules has told me a lot about you.” Luca nervously spoke putting a hand out to Jack.

“She’s told me a lot about you too.” Jack narrowed his eyes slightly and shook Luca’s hand a bit firmly.

“Come on i’m starving.” Julianna pulled them with her as she starts walking down the hallway.

They walked to the car and Luca got in the drivers seat and Julianna decided to sit in the back with Jack.

Luca smiled softly as he drove them listening to the twins talk but specifically how happy Julianna sounded as she spoke with her twin.

Jack watched as Luca got out of the car and opened the door for Julianna and how she pressed a kiss to his cheek and kept a hand on her back.

The three walked into the restaurant and were seated in a booth which was perfect as Julianna got to sit in between both of them.

They ordered their food and Julianna excused herself and headed to the restroom.

Jack narrowed his eyes at his sister’s boyfriend as she left their table, “What’s your intentions with my sister.” Jack questioned extremely protectively.

Luca smiled softly seeing the resemblance of Julianna in Jack’s glare, “I love her and i’m very lucky to be loved by her.”

Jack’s face softened slightly, “Everyone is lucky to be loved by Annie.” Jack knew better than anyone that if Julianna cared you that you were very lucky especially with how caring and loving she is.

“They are.” Luca nodded in agreement, “Jules is special and i just want to be able to love her back the way she deserves.”

Jack slowly smiled and nodded his head in approval, “Good.” Jack knew then that Luca had his approval.

Luca let out a sigh of relief at seeing Jack’s approving nod.

Julianna came back and slid back between her two boys and smiled softly not sensing any tension between the two.

“You picked a good one Annie.” Jack softly spoke to his favorite perosn.

Julianna beamed knowing that Jack approves.

“I did didn’t i?” Julianna spoke back looking at Luca with loving eyes.

week 13 — june 2023

“Are you sure you’re ok?” Luca calls out from the hotel room as you vomit once again in the toilet.

“Lu, I’m fine please just go see Adam and I’ll be down when-“ you cut yourself off throwing up into the toilet again “When I’m done”

“Babe I really don’t want to leave you, we should take you to a doctor”

You sighed, standing up and flushing away the remnants of your lunch before grabbing your toothbrush and headed out to face your very worried boyfriend.

“This is Adam’s draft, we’re not going to the doctor! C’mon let’s get down there” as you went to grab your clutch you knocked your suitcase by accident and tampons fell out onto the floor.

As you crouched down to pick them up you paused, gasping lightly.

“What is it?” Luca asks, looking at himself in the mirror.

“I think I might be pregnant?” You say, standing up with a tampon in hand. He’s wide eyed and looking at you but before either of you can say anything Adam is banging on the door calling you both out.

You spent the night of the draft with the question pondering in your mind

were you pregnant?

That thought however had to be pushed to the back of your mind when Adam’s name got called out on the stage.

After the pictures, the interviews and party you finally made it back to your hotel room. You threw yourself onto the bed almost immediately and heard the door shut firmly behind you.

“We have to talk about this” Luca says and you sit up.

“Lu I’m tired please-“

“You might be pregnant y/n how can you sleep?”

You groan “because it’s been a long night Luca, if I’m pregnant I’ll still be pregnant in the morning”

He conceded and got into bed, the silence didn’t last very long when in the darkness of your room he mumbles “there’s a gas station-“

“Let go then” you whine, giving in and pulling on his hoodie to leave the hotel.

The two of you looked out of place at the gas station in your pyjamas but the cashier who you’re sure was younger than you didn’t seem to care much.

With the test in hand you went immediately into the bathroom when you got back to your room.

Luca stood outside listening for any indication of an answer from inside the bathroom. When you finally stepped out with the test in hand he asked

“So?”

“I’m pregnant”

week 18 — july 2023

“Did you feel that?” Luca asks from his position on your belly.

“What?”

“That!” He points at your belly again “The baby is moving!”

Before you can correct him you feel it and stop

“Oh my god!” You can’t see it but you can feel it and it’s such a strange out of body experience.

After the fun had calmed you both resumed your spots to watch the movie and Luca mumbled “It’s so weird to think there’s a person in there… our person”

You hummed “Our baby, Lu”

week 20 — august 2023

You’d returned back to Ann Arbor for school. The car ride from Toronto wasn’t your finest moment with the limited stopping places on the 401 and you now being half way through pregnancy.

They weren’t a good mix.

Back in Michigan now you had gone to see your doctor, having to pass over all of your paperwork from your doctor in Toronto.

During the appointment your doctor sent you over to the place you would be having your appointments from now on to meet with your OBGYN.

At the appointment your doctor suggested an ultrasound just to make sure everything was ok. It felt weird doing this alone but it was always nice to see the baby.

“Babygirl is doing just fine in there, all measuring up to scale”

You stutter “I’m sorry did you just say girl?”

The doctors eyes go wide “Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t know you didn’t know!”

“No, it’s ok I’m just… wow” 

Back home somehow your house had become the social gathering spot as you fought your way in through the bodies of the team to find Luca.

“y/n!” Johnny pulled you into a hug from the side “I’ve missed you!”

You chuckle “Yeah, missed you too J. You seen Luca?”

“Yeah he’s upstairs moving boxes in, we offered to help but he said we couldn’t… think it’s your lady stuff”

You laugh “never change drus! Can you guys move our couch in from the van out front?”

A collective agreement came as they trudged out of the house. As soon as the coast was clear you took your jacket off, feeling a little too hot.

“Luca?” You called out, walking through the hallway.

“In here!” He shouts back from the spare room.

When you walk in you find him sitting on the floor with the moving box open, filled with clothes his mom had bought you guys for the baby.

“They think you’re up here with my lady stuff because you wouldn’t let them help” you chuckle and he shrugs “I didn’t want them to see before we told them, Johnny’s still pissed we won’t let him move into Adam’s old room”

The room in question was the room you were currently standing in, the one that soon enough would be filled with stuffed animals and little hockey memorabilia you were sure Luca would want her to have.

“How was the appointment?” He asks, still raking through the box.

You smile “Good, um they told me something while I was there”

He looks alerted “What? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing wrong” You crouch down and put your hand on his chest “They told me, it’s a girl”

“Oh my god!” He screams, and you try a shush him but you’re too late you can hear footsteps barging up the stairs before the door whips open.

“What’s wrong?! Why are you shouting?” You turn to face the boys in the doorway and laugh

“Well this isn’t how we wanted to tell you but we’re having a baby!” You announce, showing off your bump.

They begin piling in to congratulate and hug you before Luca shouts

“And it’s a girl!”

week 31 — october 2023

“Are you sure you don’t want to come?”

“Babe I’m good, go! Have fun! Me and babygirl will be here for you when you get home”

You lay on the couch, accompanied by a family size bag of candy and Netflix. Luca was attending a Halloween party on campus and you were just so big and so exhausted to even pretend you were happy at a party.

“I can stay-“ “Luca go! You won’t be out partying when she gets here so use your time wisely”

He nods and pulls his jacket on, leaning down to kiss you

“I love you”

then he kisses the bump

“I love you also, he good for mom”

You laugh at him in ‘dad mode’

“Your girls love you back, now go!”

Throughout the night you checked social media, looking closely in the stories for Luca to see if he really was having a good time.

You spotted him in the back of some stories, mainly looking at his phone which you assumed was all the times he had called you to check in.

By the time he’s stumbled back through the door of your house you’d fallen asleep on the couch watching re-runs of some show.

He came in confused why the light was still on and when his eyes landed on you, he softened “oh babe”

You’d been having a hard time sleeping lately and he knew that so he opted not to wake you but instead make you more comfortable, bringing in a blanket and a pillow before changing and situating himself next to you.

His hand rubbed over the bump soothingly and he mumbled “Hi babygirl, were you good for mommy?”

week 37 — december 2023

Your house was currently looking like a bombsite after you were packing for winter break and realised you’d be coming back with a baby and said baby had no bedroom.

So you enlisted the help of every member of the team to help put together baby girls nursery.

Half of them were painting and the other half were attempting to assemble furniture.

You’d been instructed to go and get lunch, that was all. So you went out and bought the boys all some lunch.

When you got back you heard them all arguing upstairs and waddled up to investigate.

Everyone was standing in the middle of the nursery, now painted and the crib was assembled. They were all holding up story books

“No this one is better are you insane? Humpty Dumpty do you want her traumatised?”

You looked at your boyfriend “What’s going on?”

He chuckled “they all brought babygirl books, for her story corner and now they’re arguing which is best”

Now they saw you were home, Dylan and Seamus ran over to you

“y/n which is she going to like more Goodnight moon or i might be little?”

You bit your lip to suppress your laugh “She’s one spoilt little girl”

week 40 — december 2023

Adam was in town playing the leafs so you guys headed downtown to watch the game.

Adam had asked you come down pre-game and when asking why he fist bumped your belly and said “me and my bestie have to do our pre-game” as if it was the most obvious thing ever.

After the game, Adam and some of the boys home town friends had asked Luca if they could take him out for his birthday in the morning to which you said

“I’m opting out of this one, I’m going to bed but you enjoy!”

Luca stared at you worriedly before you said “It’s your twenty-first birthday, go celebrate! I love you, I’ll see you in the morning”

They’d gotten a booth in the club and Luca was living it up. So much so, he’d abandoned his phone on the table and missed the numerous missed calls from you, your mom, his mom and his dad.

When it came time for the club closing Adam picked up Luca’s phone and his heart dropped, he called his mom back while looking for his brother.

“Adam where is he?!”

“Mom he’s- what’s going on?”

“The baby is coming”

“We’ll be there”

Adam finally found Luca outside the bar waiting for their Uber he passed him his phone

“We gotta go”

“Where?”

“The hospital, y/n’s in the hospital”

It says if those words alone sobered him up “She’s? The baby? What?”

Adam didn’t explain, just pushing Luca into the Uber and instructing them of the change in destination.

At the hospital you were stressing “He’s coming right?”

Your mom stroked your hair “He’ll be here baby, he wouldn’t let you down”

You whined, not believing her words the longer this went on.

Then finally he barges into the room “I’m here! Is she here?”

“You’re late!” You shout, mid contraction

“I know, I’m sorry I’m so sorry”

Your families left you be, hand in hand waiting for the nurse to come in and check you.

“This is really happening, eh?” He asks and you smile through the pain

“She’s really coming, our baby” Luca could sense the unease in your voice, squeezing your hand tighter.

“Hey, look at me” he instructs and you do, eyes filled with tears “Your gonna be the best mom ever ok? Our little girl is so lucky you’ve been ready for this since we were teenagers, I’m the one who should be scared! I don’t know how to be a dad but I know with you by my side there’s nothing we can’t do”

“Gigi’s so lucky”

You smirked softly “Gigi, huh?”

You’d been arguing about names for months. Luca stood firm on Carson but you liked Giada.

He nods “Gigi, our girl”

She arrived a little after six, kicking and screaming until she was lay on your chest then she went silent.

You were both sobbing just at the sight of her “Hi Gigi, hi baby”

After a nap and breakfast you sat up in bed watching your two favourite people just staring at one another

“Happy Birthday, Lu… your gift is back at the house”

He shakes his head “I got my best gift right here, happy birthday Gigi”

1 year — december 2024

“…happy birthday to gigi, happy birthday to you!” Everyone sang and the one year old giggled as they finished and you help her blow out her candles.

Both you and Luca press a kiss to each cheek “Happy Birthday G”

Luca looks over at you with a smile “Best year of our lives”

I hope all is well with you, Soup. Not sure if you've gotten more info about your health, but I've been thinking about you. If you feel like answering, can you talk about nicknames/terms of endearment your characters have for each other? Not just for the couples, but obviously those too. But like, does Vince have something he usually calls Jonah, and vice versa? Or only when they're annoyed with the other, or at some other particular time? Only if you have the time/desire to answer, of course. I know I've been kind of needy, lol.

I thought I didn't have any nicknames between my characters, but then I sat down to answer and realized I actually do!

(about my health, thank u for the well wishes. I'm still waiting for my appointment day and going slowly crazy over it urgh)

"Honey" is how Vince and Wendy call each other and they save that exclusively to one another.

"Babe/baby" is my universal nickname and all my couples use it with each other, as well as they use that with their friends. Wendy tends to call Bella "babe" and Bella has called Leo "baby" in more than one fic.

Bella calls both Vince and Luke "big guy", but mostly Vince.

Vince only calls Bella "beautiful"

Everyone and their mother call Leo "kid/kiddo". Vince, Wendy and Jonah call Leo "blondie" when they're being sarcastic. Sometimes Vince calls him "goldilocks"

Very rarely people will call Bella "ginger/red", but when it slips up its normally Vince or Jonah.

Vin calls his younger sister "bambi", which is both meaning the little deer and a simplification of the italian "bambina" which means girl.

Jonah calls all the girls "darling", but only when he's worried.

Only Bella calls Luke "Lu", which is a derivative of latin languages that tend to shorten the name to the max.

If Bella is feeling particularly corny she'll call Lucas "mi luz" (my light), and it started as a mockery but has stuck around.

Leo calls Jonah "angel" and Jonah is starting to call him that too.

Everyone calls Leo "Casper" given how white he is.

Bella sometimes calls Luke "gringo"

Bella is the one that calls Wendy "Tink" the most, but Luke has called her that before. Mostly other people call Wendy the full "tinkerbell", but Bella shortened this like she shortens everything.

If Luke is feeling veeeery cheeky he'll call Bella "Isa" because he knows it makes her flustered. It's not a name he uses in bed! It's a family nickname and that makes her feel like a teenager.

Jonah is the only one who calls Wendy "Dee" and he only does that when feeling horrible/super thankful and in a rush.

Jonah gets very VERY snappy if any man calls Leo "baby" in front of him (he bites Vince's head off in a fic because of this).

Jonah and Luke both call each other by the surname if they're particularly prickly that day. Atwood/Banks.

Bella calls Luke "handsome" when she's feeling frisky

Vince has ALL the old fashioned nicknames for Wendy, including "doll" and he hasn't tried "baby girl" because of its bad reputation, but give him a few years

Lucas full names his friends/SO when he's pissed. "Isabella Atwood-Martinez!!" / "Vincenzo Monacelli!!!". Vince does this too, but only with the guys.

"dude/man" is a mandatory nickname in the group.

Lucas calls Wendy "ma'am" because he likes how it makes her blush.

Leo has Wen saved in his contacts as "Wicked Witch of the West"

Limbs Intertwined - Luca Fantilli

“ Bedsheets, no clothes. Touch me like nobody else does. Lovely to just lay here with you. You're kinda cute and I would say all of this. But I don't wanna ruin the moment “

- ceilings, lizzy mcalpine

The curtains are drawn, lightly swaying from the breeze that’s let in by your open window. Arm gone numb from the body laying on top of yours but you don’t have it in you to move him.

Soft exhales fanning the exposed skin of your collarbone and dirty blonde hair tickling your nose. Moving your gaze from your ceiling and the glow in the dark stars the both of you put on when you were 15. You look down at the sleeping boy. Counting the faint freckles dusted across his tan nose and cheeks from the summer sun. Relishing in the feeling of warm and sticky skin against yours mixed with the coolness of the chain the always wear around his neck.

Playing connect the dots in your head with his freckles, fingers itching to touch him but you refrain. Scared to wake him up from his slumber. It would be so easy to just caress the bridge of his nose with your fingertips but you also know that he’s a light sleeper. The faintest movement or touch could wake him up. Biting your lip in contemplation you consider your options.

Deciding to let him sleep you only nuzzle your face into his soft and wild hair, taking in the scent of summer and coconut. It’s only a couple of weeks left of summer break and there hasn’t been a day Luca hasn’t been glued to your side. Ditching his own bed in his own home to spend his nights tangled up with you in your bedroom. His reasoning being that he hasn’t seen you in weeks because of school and that your bed is much more comfortable.

But the both of you know that the real reason is that if Luca could crawl inside your skin and never have to leave your side again he would. And you don’t complain because he’s your favourite person in this world. Not seeing him for weeks at a time is draining, being used to always having him near. Before college called your names and you both had to go. Thousand of miles apart but closer than ever.

Wriggling your arm free from under his midriff you run your fingers across his shoulder blades. Wait for a sign that you disturbed him but when he doesn’t move you continue. Craining your neck down you press a feather light kiss to his forehead.

Luca let’s out a deep breath, snuggling his face closer to the crock between your neck and shoulder. Smiling softly at the beautiful boy pressed against you, heart so full and the feeling of being loved.

“I was so scared we would grow apart when we moved for college, I’m happy we didn’t. I never want to spend my life away from you. I love you in this lifetime and I’ll love you in the ones that come after.” As if he hears your whispered confession he wraps one of his arms around your waist, pulling you even closer to him as if that’s possible.

Suddenly he blinks his eyes open slowly, a sigh falling from his parted pink lips. “Hi.” His voice is filled with sleep, all raspy and it sends a tingle down your spine.

“Hi.” You whisper back staring into his brown eyes that are looking curiously up at you. “What time is it?” Sneaking a glance at your digital clock where it sits on the nightstand, the time being 04:15. “Too early. Go back to sleep Lu. I didn’t mean to wake you.” Letting out a noise of understanding he closes his eyes again, mumbling out an I love you before sleeps yet again consumes him.

“I love you too.”

Flight attendant x lawyer au

Angel: We just have to find you someone else to like, so you can move on from Lucifer.

Adam, staring at the glass in his hands: It’s pointless..

Angel: You can’t know if you don’t try.

Angel: Okay, what type of men you like?

Adam: Men like Lucifer.

Angel: …I meant their looks.

Adam: Short, blonde, fair-skinned, blue eyes, white smile.

Angel: Okay… We’ll find you someone similar. Personality?

Adam: Caring, cheerful, always bringing the sun to the room he is-

Angel: Okay we need Lucifer.

This is where Angel gives him the idea to fuck men that look like Lucifer.

The first guy Adam tried this with his name was Lucas so he could get away with calling him Lu in bed.

NICKNAME(S): Luca

AGE: Twenty-Four

GENDER & PRONOUNS: Cis Woman, She/Her

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Bisexual

EYE COLOR: Brown

HAIR COLOR: Brown

HEIGHT: 5′0″

DATE OF BIRTH: November 30th

ZODIAC SIGN: Scorpio

OCCUPATION: hacker

HOMETOWN: villahermosa, mexico

INSPIRATION: Yelena Romanoff (black widow)

BACKGROUND

Lucia was not oblivious. She knew what was going on. She heard the whispers when she tried to make friends at school, what they would say about her family. She put the dots together eventually. Assassins. Murderers.

There was pressure, she could tell. Her father wanted her to learn and Elias fought against it. Safe. Or so she thought. She pretended to be ignorant of the things going on around her, but she was smarter than that. Real smart. She taught herself to hack first by getting into her father's computer to learn things but she didn't stop there. By the time she was 15, she could get into the Pentagon if she wanted to.

But also at the age of 15, her world tilted once more. A sweet morning, Elias making breakfast, she ran into her room to get changed for the day only to come back and find him gone. Never to be seen again. "He abandoned us, Mia Sol" "He left our familiar behind. He left us." Her father twisted the lies in deep for a heartbroken teen. The betrayal of her brother abandoning her never healed.

No. Not when his absences were her downfall. "You missed too much training. I should have never listened to that traitor" Because without him around, someone had to become the family killer. Lucia was thrown into training for long days. Months at a time. "we need to make up for lost time." her father would say. They pushed her hard, turning her into the killer she was always meant to be.

They made it so nothing could break her. Forced her to remove her feelings, to be lethal with no regrets, to see everyone as a target, to trust no one. All while she was creating a life of her own on the web.

The measures in which they took to prepare her were gruesome. She was beaten tortured, tested, and raped to ensure she would be a stone-cold killer, the perfect soldier. What her brother never was. Her father continued to fill her head with lies about Elias the the hatred boiled over. He did this to her. He left her behind for this to happen.

By the time she was 18, she was ready to go out on jobs. She would work in the dead of night, many doubted her being as small as she is but she proved to be lethal every time. She was wracking up kills while her father cashed in the money. There was on contract she had been saving, waiting for the time to come. She was going to kill her brother.

As the body count rose, she felt every last shred of humanity start to leave her body and she knew she needed to get out. In her early days, she had made connections to a skilled hacker and she reached out once more. She spent months in contact with him, devising a plan and also hunting down her brother. She knew how to run, cover her tracks and now she knew where to go. New York City. It just so happened her hacker mentor just happened to be there as well. And so she did it. She ran off and made her way to NYC.

She has been in NYC for a few months studying her brother's movements, patterns, and connections. The crimson would make a mean enemy but she was prepared for that. Now it was time to strike.

PERSONALITY & HEADCANONS

she will shoot you if you call her lucia, lu, or luci

she is a charmer for what she wants but is definitely a blunt, passive-aggressive sass queen

she is good at playing a role and keeping people at arm's length

@aki-draws-things ask for

“David and Lucas. Anything ,really... a first meeting perhaps. Or an accidental one. Whatever... just a firefighter and his pretty boy nurse.”

----

Lucas was dead on his feet, he’s pretty sure a car could hit him and he’d thank it. Three more hours and then he’s free. Only three more hours. That’s what he’s been saying for the last eight.

The alarm goes off and he stands. He leaps for the blond who’s hand is covered with blood. There’s a man next to him refusing to move.

“If you don’t fucking get out of my way I’ll move you myself. Move.”

The man jerks like he just realizes Lucas is there. He takes three steps back. The blond snorts, “hey doc how bad?” Lucas stares at the man who has probably lost quite a lot of blood if he looks this pale. “Knife cut?” The man flushes. “No. Well yes and no. Knife and also sharp metal.”

Lucas blinks. “You’re the guy that redoes some of the cars around here?” The man behind him snorts. “Understatement, Chrisy here is the best of the best.”

Lucas nods while still packing the wound. “You’ll need stitches.” The man Lucas is assuming names Chris thumps his head back. He’s pretty in a farm boy way. “Need me to call someone for you?” Chris shakes his head. “Nah. No one would pick up. David’s here so I’m good.”

-

Nineteen stitches later the man, who Lucas now knows as Chris Seresin and David Benton are sitting in the waiting room for the pain meds Lucas said he would get Chris. As he walks back to the room he grabs his backpack. Why stick around.

“Pain meds for you. Don’t swim for a while. But you’ll be okay.”

David looks shocked at the no swimming. “None? He does it almost every weekend. Was on swim team in Highschool. Not sure this guy will survive land for so long.” Chris smacks David with the hand that’s not bandaged.

“Wait you swam? Maple grove school?” Chris nods. “Oh shit that’s why I know you. Seresin. We swam for a two years together. You were a freak at butterfly.” Chris laughs and shrugs. He leans a little on David. “It’s a challenge but t’s so fun.”

David shakes his head and stands, he takes Chris’s unhurt arm and pulls him up. “Come on pretty boy. Bed time for you.”

Lucas casually follows them out to the parking lot. He waves as he cuts over to his car.

His car that has two flat tires.

If he’s taking a guess he’s going to guess that his ex boyfriend did this. Lucas feels like crying. One more thing on an incredibly long day.

“Need a ride?”

Lucas snaps his head up to see David and Chris sitting in a car. “Oh I can’t be trouble. I can walk.” Chris snorts and slips into the back seat. “Shut up Lu come on. We’ll take you home and David will bring you back to the car tomorrow. It’s late.”

Lucas can hear the voice of his uncle saying bad idea but he doesn’t care. If he gets to sleep a few minutes longer then so be it if he gets stabbed.

He slips into the passenger seat. He sees a Polaroid of Chris with two men and then another with. Chris and just David.

David sees him looking and smiles at him.!Lucas gets a jolt in his stomach he hasn’t felt in months. He smiles back. How could he not smile. He thinks maybe this’ll end up going well. Maybe they’ll even become friends.

Aurora

“Wait…so you’re telling me they are dating…?”, she looked at her twin brother with shock and was pretty sure that you could hear her heart shatter. Adrien nodded looking at his twin sister with sympathy. “They’re going on dates and stuff, I’ve seen them on their way to watch the Jagged Stone movie…”, now betrayal mixed into the heartbreak. So you see, there is this cute, adorable, musically talented and most empathetic boy in this whole world, who happens to be a great friend of her, Luka Couffaine. She mostly calls him Lu cause it’s shorter and cuter and it also suits him, but this is starting to get off topic so lets just leave it there. Also there’s this girl whose a good friend of hers, her names Marinette, she’s known for having the biggest crush on her twin brother for ages, but she always gets way too nervous to talk to him. Apparently her feelings changed a whole lot…and now she was taking Aurelies best friend away from her. Adrien knew about his sisters growing crush on the older Couffaine-twin but he kept it a secret. “Now I get it…. He could’ve told me that he had a date, I would’ve got it, it would’ve been okay, but he decided to just forget about our weekly meet-up…”,she sighed and her look went to the ground. “If you’ll excuse me…I’ll be heading to my room now…”, Aurelie left her brothers room and walked into her own room. Overwhelmed by the emotions she was feeling.

Closing the door behind here the young girl turned and slid down the door, her arms wrapping around her knees as the blonde buried her head in the space between her knees and her chest. Tears overflew the teens eyes dripping onto the bare skin of her legs, that where exposed as her skirt had riled up from the position she was sitting in.

She didn’t see nor feel the akumatized butterfly setting itself onto the plectrum of the bracelet that Luca had gifted her, for good luck. Her world view became dark as she lost control over herself.

She came back to, sitting on the cold ground underneath the bridge, that she used to go to with her best friend. She began sobbing and crying violently. Tears didn’t seem to stop anytime soon as her body shook with every sob. She looked up to see blurry people around her. Two seemed to be Ladybug and Chat Noir but she couldn’t see who the third person was until said person crouched in front of her. “Lily?”, she looked up. “L-Lu?”, she mumbled, with a small and vulnerable voice. He wrapped his arms around her , holding her close. “What happened?”, she asked confused. “You got akumatized…and tried to…end Marinettes life for taking me away…”, he explained. Aurelies eyes widened. “She’ll never take me away from you, I’m not gonna leave my best friend behin just because I’m dating…and also I’m sorry that I forgot about our meet-up…let me make it up to you, okay?”, she nodded as she wrapped her arms around his torso. “And even though I’m dating Marinette, you’re still gonna be my first choice, keep that in mind okay, Aurora?”

“Aurora?”, she asked. “Did you now also forget my name?”, she asked concerned.

“I was trying to give you a sweet nickname…and since you always light up my day…I thought that Aurora was pretty much fitting”, she chuckled. “You’re such a dork Lu”, the young blonde in his arms spoke with an amused tone of voice. “Am I?”, he raised a brow on her and chuckled. “Would you prefer if I called you by your last name? Miss Agreste”, she cringed. “No, please don’t do that…”, both laughed a little before getting up. “How does getting snacks and watching movies sound?”, Aurelie smiled. “That sounds great…thanks Lu”, she mumbled, she walked ahead, missing the last thing he said.

“Anything for you… my Aurora.”

Chapter 2

   Heart pains

                                              Caroline Turner POV

_________________________________________________________________________

  I could tell something was happening the minute I walked to the front desk and all Eye’s felt in me. I’d just clocked in and pulled my hair back and straightened my uniform. It was a weekend evening so I already expected it to be busy. People had been paid which meant drinking and parties. We’d be busy and time would fly by. 

 I was grateful for the head nurse as she handed me a small porcelain cup with dark brown liquid. The cup was teeny tiny and I could only handle it with three fingers. I looked at her and glanced down at the cup raising an eyebrow. 

“Is it like a shot of coffee?” I asked quizzically. I knew it wasn’t alcohol. I sniffed it as dainty as I could. She laughed and shook her head. Jackie, was an older nurse somewhere in her fifties. She had a kind face with barely a wrinkle. Her short white bob groomed immaculately bounced as she chuckled. Her dark brown eyes gleaming. I knew that look, she was fishing to tease me. 

“You look like you had a long night.” Her smile indicated that she was hoping I’d say a man kept me up. These nurses could gossip like church women. “ That’ll perk you up for your patient. “ Jackie winked at me. I rolled my eyes playfully and laughed, my laughter ricocheted off the deathly quiet hall. 

“If I had a handsome man like that as my patient ,I’d perk up real fast without the help of that.” Amelia said pointing to my cup. She looked like a lovesick school girl. Whoever was in there was her type. Ameia was gorgeous. Tall, thin legging blonde with pale hair and stunning green eyes. Everyone called her the starlet. I was surprised she hadn't been requested. It happened a lot whenever a man caught a really good glance at her. She usually recalled all her marriage proposals and mens pick up lines at the end of her shift. Took an hour to get through all her stories on a slow night. 

“Should I look for a ring?” I joked. Suddenly I had everyone's attention. I hated when people looked at me, especially as a group. I wasn’t one who ever liked the spotlight. “What?” 

“We already checked..unmarried.”  Jackie's deep rich tone was laced with desire. God above who was this man? Did I want to be alone with him? 

“Okay, well clearly one of us needs to work so I should go check up on my patient, chart please.” Amelia kept staring up at the window, her elbows on the dek and she sighed. I put the chart up to my face to hide my amusement. She was definitely in love. 

“I tried to wait on him, and said he was fine with the nurse assigned already.” Her pout deepened as she spoke. He was either blinde or I had previously waited on him and made an impression. I was going to stick with blind. 

I glanced down at the clip board, he was in for chest pains. Why wasn’t a doctor coming in with me if it was that serious. “Luca Changretta.” I said the name out loud trying to get a feel for it in my mouth before I spoke. I hated fumbling names. Just seemed disrespectful. 

“He’s well dressed, has a tailor you can tell and his shoes are polished to perfection.” She was in love with this man. 

“Did you see his address?” Amelia peppered me with information. This was getting tedious to me. I didn’t care where someone lived, what they wore or where they had come from. All I cared about was them being decent people to me and going home. In my experience none of that had to do with money, manners were important, rich or poor.

I smiled as I turned  and walked across the hall. I heard groaning from behind me as I closed the door. Definitely lovesick nurses. I didn’t even have time to look up before his rich, deep and gravelly voice flooded my head. 

“There are 14 hospitals in New york. Took me a while to narrow it down to one with a new girl, bubbly blonde with cornflower blue eyes.” Luca Changretta, my mind whispered recalling the name on his chart. He was the man from the bar last night, the one who’s mate mark matches mine, my mate. My mouth went dry. He’d found me. I looked up, no sense in trying to be dodgy. I knew he wasn’t the type to let me off due to my good looks. Besides, didn’t I owe him some kind of explanation? 

“Your chart says you are here for chest pains?” My voice wavered. I caught it and from the softening look on his face, he had too.  I should have known he’d find me. I saw the black hand tattoo on him last night as well as the 6. That one I didn’t understand. I knew from living in a dangerous yet much smaller city that he was in the Mafia. In order to get away with tattoo’s he’d probably be someone very high up, not a common gangster. They tended to be clean cut in order to bland in. 

 Maybe that’s what I needed. Maybe God had sent me into that club because he had mated me with a big scary man, but I just couldn’t ask anyone to protect me and get involved. I didn’t want to drag him  into a war because of my fathers bad dealings. Besides I bet the New York Mafia was much bigger than the one in Detroit. I knew people now and we’d had them over for dinner at our home. I didn’t need the blood on my hands. 

“You gonna keep getting lost in that beautiful head of yours, Cara mia?” He asked gently. When our eyes locked I could see the misery on his face now. His eyes were rimmed with dark circles like mine, his hand kept fidgeting with an unlit match stick. He was waiting on me. 

“ So you aren't here for chest pain? I knew it was a stupid question. I was stalling. If this was God's plan for us to meet then so be it. “Take a chance Caroline.” I could hear my mothers soft spoken voice in my head. She was my guardian angel, partially in thanks to my fathers stupid business decisions. 

“Oh I do have chest pains though Tesoro, you see, I got rejected by my mate last night. Didn’t get much sleep. Wanted some answers” His eyes were locked firmly with mine. Unflinching, he was demanding an explanation. If the shoe were on the other foot I would be questioning too. I nodded uncomfortably, understanding his pain. A lump forming in my throat. How could I explain? 

 “I’m in trouble through an association with a family member” I said quickly. Panic rising. I didn't know him, could I trust him through a bond we didn’t even officially have yet? 

“I know that,” He said confidently. He placed the match stick in his mouth and fumbled around with it a bit. The suspense was killing me. What was he thinking? 

 “I found out this morning. When I knew I wasn't sleeping, I figured, We'll you know, minds as well get to work. So I made some calls about you.” My eyes hurt, I knew they were wide with panic. If he’d made calls I was dead. Someone would know I was in New York. Was this punishment from running out last night?

”I made it known you were under my protection now. My mate. So I called some rum runners, and found out that they live in Detroit. The one man that would talk knew your family from his boss. He delivered it to my club here in New York and said, "You were a sweet girl, very polite.” He lit a cigarette and held my gaze. Who exactly was me, could he really protect me or was he just overly confident? 

“So what did you think?” I slapped my hands to my side. I knew I looked lost, defeated. I felt it. 

“Your a mystery Cara mia, grew up poor, your dad suddenly had money and a store, laundered money for two gangs, unbeknownst to them he was skimming from them both, you got through nursing school on his dime, as you should have, and then you abruptly quit you job of a  year in a good hospital from Detroit Michigan, and moved to New York two weeks ago.” I nodded in his assessment. He wasn’t wrong. That was the gist of it. 

“What I can't understand is why you didn’t go somewhere quiet, why another city with more people to talk and see you?  You had no protection here when you moved, no family, you didn’t know you had a mate, so why here?.”  He was watching closely and reading my reactions. I knew from last night he was smart and his deduction skills were phenomenal. If he’d been a “good guy” he’d be a top detective or working for the feds. I understood it was probably something he had been born into and probably never questioned it. 

“To do what?” I challenged him. I was getting annoyed. I needed to work.  

“Work as a waitress? Get married to a random farmer? No shame in it but I don't have working skills outside of nursing. Cities are more likely to hire.” I said matter of fact. 

“Makes some sense.” Thank God you chose New York, i'd have never met you if you moved to chicago. We're at war with them.” He added. He stood up and closed the distance between us. I’d be lying if I had said he wasn’t attractive. 

“ Chicago was still too close, too many ties to Detroit. Not as many in New york.” I knew he wasn’t asking. I was just stalling for some time. For what I didn’t really know. 

“Smart girl.” His hand came up and brushed a loose strand of hair away from my face. I turned to the blinds, thank goodness the other nurses were busy. I probably should be too. I closed them, giving us some privacy. Didn’t need my boss walking by and firing me for seducing a patient. 

“I’ll pick you up at seven by the main door for breakfast.I’ll bring you a dress to change into. I’m not asking.” With that he tipped his fedora at me and stroad out with the confidence of a rooster. 

   Today would be a slow day….

( Tesoro= Darling/ Treasure)

Cara Mia= my love (f)

Sorry it’s a long chapter. They had a lot to unpack

“She's not yours.” with luca, maybe he’s protecting you against an ex bf at a party

You’d opted out of the party tonight, much to everyone’s displeasure.

Luca had told you he’d only stop by for a little while but you just smiled and said “Yeah sure, call me when you need a ride”

And he did, calling you just after eleven to come pick him up.

While waiting around for you he stumbled into a conversation taking place in the kitchen.

“Y/N man, for sure she is the best fuck” his eyebrows furrowed at your name and he found your ex, Charlie with his buddies.

“What was she like?”

“She does this thing-“

Luca didn’t want to hear the end of it “Hey Buddy, respectfully stop talking about my girlfriend like that”

Charlie smirked, turning to face him “Whatcha gonna do about it, bud ?”

“Listen man, i’m asking you nicely”

“I’ll talk about my-“ Luca was quick to interrupt

“She’s not yours” He all but growled “You were together for a couple weeks, you cheated and she was done with you so quit talking about her like she’s your girlfriend still. She’s mine ok? Don’t talk about what’s mine”

Before the argument could continue, your hand clasped onto Luca’s shoulder and you mumbled into his ear “Let’s just go home Lu”

“Yeah babe, let’s go” he says, still making eye contact with Charlie.

Back in the car he lets out a stressed breath and you hold his hand over the console “I love you”

He smiles “I love you, sweet girl and I’ll always have your back”
