You hadn’t anticipated seeing him. When you left the Boston QZ five years ago after finding out you were pregnant, you never wanted to see Joel Miller’s face again. Not after you broke the news and he told you to get out - that he wanted you gone. Tess had told you to give him a few days to cool down and let the news sink in, so you did. You waited a couple days, which turned into a week and another and once a month passed, you realized you couldn’t wait around for Joel to get his head out of his ass so you packed up and left Boston. You had heard rumors of settlements out West and took the chance of going to one. It was a risky move, especially being pregnant, but raising a child in the QZ was impossible. Bringing a life into this world alone was cruel but if you could make it to one of the settlements, you thought maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. And you did. After months of traveling and close calls, you made it to Jackson. You couldn’t believe how close to normal it was there. It felt like before the outbreak which felt impossible but somehow they did it. You made friends and had support when you finally delivered. 
Little Jack came into the world with the helping hands of Maria and your friend Avery. You named him after Jackson, the little community that welcomed you with open arms. He was absolutely perfect and as he grew, he looked more and more like Joel. It hurt you that Joel wasn’t here to see his son grow but he had made his decision the day he told you to leave. 
The life you built in Jackson was good enough. You taught at the small school in the morning and spent the rest of your day with Jack and your friends. Every so often you went on patrol but with Jack, you had to find someone to watch him. Avery offered to keep him for the afternoon while you went out with Maria and some others for a quick patrol. Someone thought they heard gunshots going off and your group was sent to check it out. You thought you would come across some raiders or maybe a couple stragglers but what you weren’t expecting was to find Joel Miller and some random kid. It didn’t surprise you that he was looking for Tommy and you watched for Maria’s reaction when he told her his name. 
In Jackson, Joel’s name wasn’t a popular one to those who heard it. Tommy had recounted the days that he, Joel, Tess and others had spent that still gave him nightmares and you didn’t have many good things that you shared about him. You kept the good things to yourself and only let yourself think about them on nights you were particularly lonely or sad. She hid her reaction better than you would have but you were a little surprised when she invited them back to town. As soon as you got back, you went straight to the stables to drop off your house before going to pick up Jack from Avery’s. You wanted to just go home but he fought you tooth and nail to go to the dining hall to see Hazel, an older woman in Jackson who was the first person to take you in when you first arrived. She treated you like a daughter and in turn, treated Jack as a grandson. 
When you got there, Hazel was delighted to see him and you couldn’t help but smile when Jack squealed and ran straight for her. Watching them, you felt a set of eyes on you and when you looked, they met Joel’s. As usual, his expression was impossible to read. He was sitting with the girl, Ellie you’d briefly heard, along with Tommy and Maria. 
“Some new folks, huh?” Hazel asked, breaking you out of your daze. She knew the story about Joel so you were hesitant to tell her who they were but she would find out eventually.
“Yeah, Tommy’s older brother and the girl is Ellie,” you told her, “apparently they traveled all the way from Boston.” 
You watched as the realiztion slowly dawned on her face, hiding an amused smile when she said, “where’s my shotgun?” 
“It’s fine,” you tried to reassure her, “I don’t think they’re staying.” 
She huffed, “I should’ve poisened that food.”
You shook you head, taking Jack when he reached out to you. He was getting sleepy, resting his head on your shoulder and babbling nonsense. You could still feel Joel’s gaze, so you told Hazel you would see her tomorrow and started walking out when you heard your name called.
Tommy. 
You weren’t sure what his plan was, he knew your past with Joel so you took your time walking over to where the four individuals were seated. Maria was giving Tommy a dark look and you knew she didn’t agree with his interfering. 
“Hey,” you said lightly, trying to ignore Joel’s eyes that were now focused on Jack. Ellie was looking between you and Joel and you could almost see the wheels turning in her brain. 
“I was wondering if you had time to take Ellie to the house next to yours and let her have a shower? Maybe find some new clothes?” Tommy asked and held his hand up when Joel started to argue. 
“Sure,” you said, motioning for her to follow you. She gave Joel one look before following you out the door. It was cold and you hugged Jack, who was now asleep, tighter to you. She was silent until you were a couple minutes away from the house, whistling. 
“So, I take it you and Joel know each other?” She questioned, walking faster to keep up with you. You wanted to drop this kid off before she accidentally got answers out of you. She continued pestering you after you just shrugged and you wondered how Joel, of all people, managed to make it from Boston with the girl. She seemed sweet enough but lord, she was chatty. 
“What’s his name?” She asked, pointing to the sleeping boy in your arms as if there was another child around.
“Jack,” you told her and she smiled.
“Like, Jackson?” 
“Nice catch,” you praised and she grinned. 
You showed her to the shower, before searching for some clean clothes. It took a few trades but you managed to get her some fresh clothes and a new jacket. When you returned to the house, you ran into the one person you were hoping to avoid. He froze when you walked in the front door, clothing in hand and Jack still on your hip. Your back was aching from carrying him but he was unusually clingy. His eyes locked on Joel, head tilting slightly before reaching out for the older man, surprising the two of you. Joel stood frozen even as Jack reached for him, whining slightly. 
It was Ellie who broke the awkward silence, walking down the stairs in the fluffy robe you left for her. “You gonna take the kid, or what? He’s not contagious.” 
You were hesitant to let Jack go but after he let out an angry wail, you put him down and watched as he walked over to Joel and reached for him, making a grabby motion with his tiny fists, the universal pick me up signal from a child. The man awkwardly picked him up and you immediately saw the similarities between the two. You always thought he looked like Joel but looking at the two of them together, a paternity test wouldn’t be needed.
“Woah,” Ellie said, taking Jack’s hand when he reached towards her, “he looks just like you.” 
You ignored the insinuating tone in her words, opting to watch the interaction between the two boys. Joel’s sole attention was now on the toddler in his arms. His whole body softened when Jack rested his head on his chest and you suddenly felt a rush of emotions. Shoving the clothes in Ellie’s arms, you took Jack from Joel and fled out the door, ignoing both voices calling out to you. You didn’t stop running until you were in your own house and rushed to put Jack to bed before going to your own room. Not bothering to change, you crawled under the covers and tried to hold back the sobs threatening to escape you. 
You had spent the last five years trying to get over the heartbreak Joel Miller caused you and suddenly the man himself showed up and brought back evey single feeling you had for him.
And you hated him for it.

Unforgettable
MASTERLIST
Heartbeat | Jack Hughes
Author’s note: my fav chapter so far;)
Song: Unforgettable- French Montana
Tumblr media
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
Thalia’s POV
The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and i finally found the comfortable position to tan.
I haven’t got much time to tan during this summer, always running around, spending time with family or Luke.
I try to fill my free time with them as much as possible, knowing that once the summer ends, I am returning to Switzerland for my last year of boarding school.
But back to my tanning, If you didn’t notice, I am really enjoying the time for myself.
I just wish the process was faster, because I want the tan lines right now . Oh how I love being a girl.
My mom is cooking lunch with Ellen, so the Hughes family is over. Luke finally returned from his tournament, and it couldn’t be more perfect. The only two people who can’t share my enthusiasm are Quinn and Mattheo.
They are groaning few feet from me, laying on the outdoor sofa with ice packs on their heads. Thats what underage drinking does to you, my friend.
I can faintly hear Luke and Jack shouting at eachother as they play football, the ball nearly hit me a few times, but because of how good I feel right now, I can’t imagine myself caring.
After my mini breakdown I endured yesterday, today is a perfect calming day. My nerves settled down a bit after the talk with Jack, and I feel lighter.
Sure, I still have some anxiety left but I know I have a lot of time to figure it out. Nobody has it figured out at the age I am at, and I know that by then I will be calm and collected.
I hope.
My train of thoughts is stopped when I suddenly do not feel the sun on my face. I open my eyes and see Jack standing over me. I would start cussing him out, but today is a great day, so I choose not to.
But the words he says take me by surprise.
“Scoot over” he instructs me, and I free some space for him on the towel. “What do you want, Jack?” I suspiciously ask.
“Just want to spend some time with my friend, is that a crime ?” he chuckles. I look at him, and see no sarcasm in his eyes. He settles down beside me, the skin contact making me shiver. Why is he wearing no shirt? Thank god he isn’t tho, at least I have something to look at.
I stare, no shame in that. The hard ridges of his abs on the tanned skin are making it impossible not to. “Take a picture, it will last longer”he says, noticing my stare. Okay, I feel shame now, but I do not regret it, the sight was pleasant, not going to lie. So sue a girl for looking.
I am sure I look like an apple right now, and the embarrassment surges through me. “ I wasn’t looking” I say, trying to save at least a bit of dignity I have left.
“Please, Lils, let’s stop lying to ourselves “ he laughs and I scoff at the cocky asshole. He knows what he is doing.
We once again settle into comfortable silence, just sitting beside eachother.
He is one of the few people I actually enjoy spending time with in silence, just soaking up him and his energy.
“So tell me about the girlfriend” I suddenly ask, circling back to the words he said to me at the draft, even though a long time passed since that, it’s still on my mind.
It pains me, but I know that Jack Hughes will always be here for me to admire, not to have. I just hope he finds someone who understands his soul and his body, the way he deserves to be understood.
“Avery? What about her?” he confusedly replies, waiting for me to clarify. “You told me about her at the draft” I recall.
“Oh, yeah, sorry I forgot” he apologises, but continues “She’s great, we have been together since my birthday, so I think we’re doing good” the smile on his face when he is talking about her making my heart break more and more.
“I’m happy for you Jack, you deserve all the best” when I turn to look at him, he’s already looking at me, smiling. “Thank you Lils” he softly smiles and throws his arm around me.
I’m grateful that there are no powers that allow others to read my mind, because all I can think about is wanting him to speak about me. I know it’s dumb, but the charm of Jack Hughes has still not left me. I don’t even think it will leave , ever.
I think about Avery, already feeling the distaste for her, but deep down I know it’s just jealousy. Jealousy about her having him, and not me. She may be a great girl, but I can’t help myself.
That is something I will have to get used to by having Jack in my life, I mean, how can you NOT fall for him? I don’t think that is possible. And if it is, I need a tutorial right now.
There is no possibility that anyone who hears his voice, sees his smile, and gets to know his character will not feel love for him. And once again, if you don’t, please pull me out of this misery and tell me how.
I still remember the first summer living in Michigan, the first time I met him. The second I saw those ocean eyes, I knew I was goner.
The second I felt my hands on his skin, making them tingle, I knew he would be forever imprinted on my mind.
The second his signature toothy smile made appearance on his face, I knew I would do everything possible to be cause of it.
He stole my heart, and I don’t think I will get it back. I also think i’m fine with that, part of my heart being a small price to pay for his presence in my life.
I notice Luke walking up to us, he left to check on the dinner, the teenage boy appetite making him already hungry. I like to tease him about it, but that’s another thing im jealous of, non stop eating and not gaining a pound. If I even breathed the amount he eats, I would be ten pounds heavier.
Okay, I’m lying, I eat the same amount, especially when I’m having mental breakdown about the latest show I’m obsessing over.
Luke plops down next to us “What are you talking about?” curisously asking. “My girlfriend” Luke scoffs, I look strangely at him, and he rolls his eyes. I’m definitely going to ask him questions.
Jack notices his reaction, and scoffs too “I don’t get why you don’t like her, she’s been nothing but nice to you” he says, defending her, making the ache in my chest present again.
“Yeah, sure” Luke answers him, not wanting to talk about her for minute more. Okay, now I’m definitely curious.
I shift the conversation, not wanting to feel the uncomfortable silence longer “Luke, do you want to play volleyball?” I say, actually hoping to press him for details, but I forget that Jacks needs to be centre for everything.
“ No invite for me?” he frowns. Luke and me answer at the same time “No”, “Sure, but I want Luke on my team” . The answer I give him making him gain attitude “I’m much better player than Luke”
I answer him with laugh as I leave to get the ball “Sure Jack, hope you enjoy living in delusions”. Let me tell you a secret, he is better player than Luke, but I love annoying him.
He shouts after me, but I just laugh.
I stay in the supply room a little longer, needing to cool down my blushing cheeks, but the cause of my blushing problem once again appears.
“Having trouble finding the ball?” he asks, stepping into the room with me. “Not at all” I turn around about to reach for it, but he decides to do the same, and closes the proximity between us by pressing his front into my back.
I instantly pull away, the blush I originally had, and I don’t even know how it’s possible, worsening even more.
Why am I still blushing? Seriously, my face needs to get it together. Man up, we can’t embarrass ourselves more, I internally speak to myself and my face.
Yeah, I know these are the signs of starting insanity, but we are going to ignore it for now.
Jack coughs beside me, making me pull myself from my thoughts. “Went to Wonderland?” he teasingly asks.
I dismiss him with a shake of the head and leave the room.
When I return to Luke, he suspiciously looks at me, and then at Jack trailing behind me.
,,What took you two so long?” he asks, suspicion evident in his voice.
,,Nothing, let’s play” I say, hoping to stop his thoughts from wandering too much.
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
I always considered myself great at volleyball, but how embarrasingly we are losing right now to Jack is almost making me rethink that statement.
But I’m not a quitter, and Luke isn’t one either, and we know that we are going to win this.
Because if not, this is going to get embarrassing real fast. But it won’t, because I wouldn’t let Jack’s ego rise more. Someone needs to seriously humble that man, and that someone is going to be me.
That is one of the main reasons I’m sweating like a pig right now, because there is no chance he is going to win, and if he is, it’s going to be over my dead body.
I don’t know what was I thinking wanting to play volleyball with two hockey players, because their stamina is much better than mine, hell, they didn’t even break a sweat yet.
I’m aware of how unattractive I look right now, but I don’t even care, the sole goal is to win the game and then shower.
“Wishing you chose me, huh Lils?” Jack chirps from the other side in a true hockey boy nature.
“Not at all” I answer him, one thing I’m not going to admit is me being wrong. My competitivness matches Jack’s own one and I think if volleyball scouts were here, they would choose us on the spot.
My poor Luke is in the middle of our ego match, I feel bad about screaming at him about every mistake he makes, but I will not lose to Jack. Luke will get his apology later.
The only boy matching my screams is the one infront of me, screaming obscenities at the poor ball whenever something doesn’t go his way.
I think today the universe is on my side, because when I do the winning move, my ego rises a few feet.
“Ha!” I laugh at Jack sitting defeatedly on his knees, between catching my breaths.
Luke does not even stay to clap me on my back, I’m sure he is going to Ellen for her to comfort him about how we were yelling at him. He’s SUCH a mamas boy (don’t tell him I said that).
Suddenly there’s a hand stretched infront of me, Jack’s hand to be particular. I don’t take it, smirking as I stand up even though I have about two cramps in each leg, but he doesn’t know that.
I’m certainly not going to shorten my ego even by millimetre, duh.
He laughs at me, then he hughs me.
“Congrats on winning, not sure you would win without Luke, but I’m going to let it slide” he says, that asshole. He knows damn well that I carried the team.
I don’t even answer him, my heart set on the shower I’m going to take.
What I don’t know is that by the time I was collecting things in my room for the shower. He beat me to it. In my own house.
But I’m not going to be mad, he deserves at least one win today. I laugh at my thoughts. I always knew I was funny.
If someone finds out what’s up with men and their long showers, let me know. I’m pounding on the door of the bathroom, because I honestly can’t wait no more.
I don’t even get my second pound in at the door, and hes opening them.
Once again, he knows what he is doing. Because he is standing there in all of his bare-chested glory.
Suddenly, my mind is a bottomless pit and my mouth stopped functioning, because I can’t even form and speak one word.
”Cat got your tongue?” he knowingly asks, getting second ego victory that day, dork.
I spare one last look at his chest, of course I’m not going to leave without looking. When he already catched me, I don’t have to hide it.
I push past him for the second time that day. Why does this keep happening to me? Entering the bathroom, I release a sigh.
But when I notice the familiar scent of the bathroom, I know that he used my bodywash, making a smile appear on my face.
He is going to be falling asleep with my scent today. I hope he enjoys thinking about me.
I know I called him delusional today, but I’m starting to think I should have been reflecting that one on myself.
Shutting down my thoughts, I step into the shower, the warm water calming my aching muscles.
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
When I step out of shower and I notice the tan I gained, I smile from joy because that was the original plan for today.
The cooling lotion on my skin feels great, and I almost fall asleep from the relaxing effect it has.
Until I smell the scent of the food from downstairs, my stomach now agressively grumbling.
I put on some sundress I fish out from my closet, not even caring what I put on, I just want to fill the void in my stomach.
I braid my drying hair, not wanting to have a side of them with my meal. Men have it so easy with their short hair.
As I sit beside my now hungover-free brother, who is finally not complaining anymore, I notice the happiness radiating from the people around the table, making me smile.
The food is great ( shotout to my mom and Ellen ). Everyone is laughing and I’m winning again, beating Jack once again in our private kicking tournament under the table.
I laugh at him and stick my tongue out, making him smile. At least he is not a sore loser, because that would be sad for him.
He takes all these losses like champ and I think I found my new hobby, winning.
Everything is perfect right now.

Lineup of Gangrel characters of our VtM game set in New Orleans. More info about characters undercut.
- Zuzella Folsom – Dakota’s childe. She lives in the Louisiana Reservation since the departure of the Gangrel clan from New Orleans in the 1995. She is an anthropologist who studies Native American culture of the Southeastern United States and can spend hours talking about subjects of her interest.
- Mohammed bin Rahman is a neonate who brought the living head of an ancient gangrel to the city and unwittingly got stuck in New Orleans because of the Sabbat siege. He was straight off taken under Dakota’s wing. Managed to survive two fierce battles and committed a diablerie by order of the ancient’s head. So, in the event of a successful lifting of the siege he will face the Camarilla letter of the law.
- Dakota Salmon is my pc. She is a former Gangrel Primogen of New Orleans who returned to the city in mid-2022, seeking to regain her former influence and secure a place for the clan in the city. Currently she took a position of the second hound in exchange for the right to stay in the city and lives with Avery, nosferatu and first hound of NO.
- Ell Miller is one of the gangrel of New Orleans. N/b. He have joined the Anarchs after the eviction of the clan in the 1995. He is a former ward of Dakota. Currently he is back in the city due to the Sabbat siege seeking to participate in the defense and then to stay in New Orleans afterwards. - Yun-hie is a former Sabbat scapegoat of sorts. Pack she belonged to was demolished and she was spared due to local Prince generosity and other gangrels protectorship.
- Yaropolk “the Colonel” is a big and dreadful 400-year-old Russian. Silent, harsh and radical. Joined the defense of New Orleans after the start of the Sabbat siege in order to avenge the death of his childe.
- Jack is a wonderful rake Anarch with a heart of gold who joined the defense of New Orleans after the start of the Sabbat siege. He took a great part in saving Yun-hie's life.

Pale 10.2
“Go, go, go,” Lucy urged, whisper quiet.  Snowdrop and Avery came down from upstairs, their eyes the inverted white pupils, pink irises and black surface of Snowdrop’s Sight.  Lucy gave them a nod, then guided Melissa toward the door that went from inside Edith’s cabin to the porch.
interesting. Why are they back here? And why bring Melissa?
Avery had made it a fair bit ahead of their group, but that was what Avery always did, Snowdrop was close to Avery, and Lucy had been ahead of Melissa, waiting for Melissa to catch up.  Putting Melissa at the rear of the pack, closest to Nibble and least able to run away.
this is why we need Verona here, she can be trusted to lag behind the group
Nibble went on, “She’s close to being Aware, if she isn’t there already, but she has the inherent innocence you can’t give up unless you…”
I'd hope that having an innocent there would fend off the witch hunter, but I think he probably doesn't care. And not being a practitioner or Other means he doesn't have to worry about the karmic backlash as much
“Melissa, please,” Lucy urged.  She paused, trying to think of what to say or what to ask for, then said, “please.”
I like how bad Lucy is at reasoning with Melissa
“How do we set the table without ringing the bell?” Avery asked.  “Melissa?” Melissa was standing by, watching, a frown on her face. “Table?”
I'm lost too.
oh, no I figured it out! They want to use the diagnoses tools Nicolette showed in the extra materials to figure out what the bell does. Talk about a field test.
Lucy reached for the bell.  It swayed away from her hand as she got about a foot away. Avery tried. At about two feet, it started moving gently away from her hand, dangling, as if she was holding a strong magnet.
Guessing that having a familiar makes Avery more Other in a way that trips the alarm sooner?
Jack of diamonds, ace of diamonds, two of clubs, jack of diamonds. “That’s two of the same card. Did you mix two decks together?” Melissa asked. “Nope,” Avery said. “Defective production, maybe?” “What does it mean?” Lucy asked. “No idea.”
I know this is in reference to not knowing what the duplicated card means, but I love the idea of doing a fortune-telling spread of cards and just going "fuck if I know what that means"
Huh. I wonder if the duplicate card is because they're using a french deck of playing cards instead of tarot minor arcana, which is more what I'd think of for divination. It could be trying to map both the page and the knight of coins onto the jack of diamonds.
In which case, the elements are: fresh eyes, small steps, patient observation, enhanced endeavors due to resources (possibly swap the first and last entries). Which makes sense for these alarm detection bells!
“Do I get a love triangle?  There was that show where the girl found out she was a half centaur and that’s why she was so good at riding horses-” “I liked that one,” Avery said.
yeah that tracks
“I’ve been meaning to ask, why is this kid so obsessed with opossums?” Melissa asked.  “She’s worse than Caroline from school, with her horse obsession.  Hey, do you think Caroline watches the centaur show?”
I was thinking that this rambling seemed out of character for Melissa, who has consistently been more gloomy than annoyingly unfocused. And then I looked up codeine side effects, and restlessness and talking with uncontrollable excitement are both listed.
She laid the page on the ground, then reached over, finishing the core rune.  The triangle of air.  “For the protection of Kennet and its population, human and otherwise.” “We draw on what we’re owed,” Avery added.
Verona’s absence was very much felt.
But they picked up, and soon, all across the clearing, bells were chiming, each with a high, sweet sound that carried in a way that would let it be heard from a mile away.  Grass blew and trees swayed.
I'm returning here after a week hiatus while I was on vacation, and this visual stuck with me whenever I was thinking about Lucy
The Witch Hunter found his feet again.  One member of their group stayed down.
can't believe I paused for a week on this cliffhanger
“I mean, you’re into music and you have this… image?  A crafted self-image, you know what I mean?”  Alyssa floundered.  “Confident, specific style.  Reminded me of friends who were in a band.”
I bet you could use band as a collective noun for a group of practitioners
"You’re always going off to meet with your friends. They have similar images. Well, Avery more. Verona wasn’t so hot when she came by, but even with her, a bit.”
interesting that the kind of self-definition you do as a practitioners is noticeable to people in the mundane world. I wonder if it's just that you get used to putting forward a specific version of yourself even in normal circumstances, or if there's some reinforcement from spirits who you've shown what face you want to present
“Just… easier to think I was a screwed up, paranoid kid, than to think the world was that gross."
Thinking about something I read about how CBT? or maybe some other form of therapy often fails people of color, because it focuses on "stop being paranoid, the world isn't out to get you, that's just your anxiety etc. talking." But sometimes the world is out to get you!
“I’ve run into that.  People in dark places don’t always want to accept the help.  The darkness can be more comfortable.” An image of Verona darted through Lucy’s mind’s eye.
and in Verona's case, she doesn't have a better future (outside of becoming an Other) that she feels she can realistically aim at
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m not exactly a bundle of warmth and cuddles.” “You sure?” Alyssa asked, matching Lucy’s posture, elbow on table, hand on cheek. “You’ve got a lot of warmth reserved for your mom, Booker, and Verona.”
awww
Verona’s dad stood on the edge of the lawn, dropping off garbage at the curb.  He stopped as he saw her.  She stopped as she looked at him, wearing her fox form, breathing hard. Emotions roiled inside her, flaring, boiling up.
I think Booker going back to college is making this worse: Lucy was already feeling like the people in her inner circle are leaving, and now Verona is gone too.
Then he walked down the stairs, crossed the lawn while sliding the phone back to his pocket, and set the recycling bin down.  Almost as an afterthought, he said, “Hi, Lucy.” “Hi.” Then he turned to go back inside.
this is rude, but also very funny. Just not engaging with the angry 13 year old who just appeared where a weird fox was.
Start from compassion, Lucy thought, thinking of Alyssa’s words. “Fuck offffff!” Lucy raised her voice. “And fuck you!"
lol
She found Avery, who wore a jersey top with a sports bra, shorts, and her running shoes, hair down.  She had her bag slung over one shoulder.  It looked like Avery had grown up by a year or two in just the short time they’d been active.
Welcome to puberty! And also being under life-threatening stress basically nonstop for a few months. Both will age you!
“You wish this was all easier?  Mannn, you have no idea.  I have whole days, days I feel more shitty and miserable than I ever have, and my parents are bored, bored of me being sad.  And you know who’s more bored?”
... No, I think Avery and Lucy are still winning the "how bad are things going" competition
“That Melissa might be a trainwreck no matter what we do.  She’s getting into trouble no matter what, but at least she’ll be one we can sorta steer or manage if we step in.  And maybe she’ll even find some joy in it?”
I mean, trying to steer her away hasn't worked for the past six arcs, so.
“…I care about belonging to something.  I don’t belong to family, I don’t belong to the Dancers, I don’t fit in with all those older teens who’re drinking and shit.  I don’t belong to- there’s no- there’s no me to belong to, I don’t fit to anything.  I’m so lonely it feels like my heart doesn’t beat anymore.”
this sucks! The thing with Melissa is that she is incredibly annoying for our protagonists, and also is probably not in as much trouble as they are, which makes her complaining seem petty. But also she's right that her life got fucked up, and she's miserable, and it's a shitty situation to be in for anyone, especially at fourteen.
“Help us solve a mystery, Melissa,” Lucy said.  “Help us connect some dots, how’s that?” “You’re just using me, aren’t you?” Melissa asked. “A bit. But I also want to help and if this is your road to happiness… fuck it.”
huh. That could be one way to put thing together with the Carmine Beast murder. And I guess this explains why they take Melissa to Edith's cabin
“I’m not complaining,” Melissa said, mumbling a bit.  “I want to be used.  I want to be useful.  I want to be wanted.  Awesome.” I think it’s good we got you away from that party and those older boys, then, protective cousin or no, Lucy thought, looking back.
yeah
“I am in a very going-along state right now,” Melissa said, raising the bottle she still held.  “You have no idea.”
YEAH
She dug fingers into wet, sucking blood, and found it a tangle inside, stuff getting caught between her fingers, parts that felt like they were the way further in or between bits of internals until they really didn’t. Lucy snarled, pushing until her finger hurt, but a strand of something broke and she could work her hand in, nearly wrist deep. Fishing, groping, searching for something. A bit of solid, no, that was deceptively tense tissue. She growled, face contorting, as she pushed her hand in deeper, another inch of give.  It was so hot inside.
this is also a place where Verona is missed
You’re doing more than being slow, Lucy thought. Melissa had found something.
OwO?
“I have.  Most of us have.  People, broken by them, until we’re a little more and a little less person.  I’m honorable.  If you step out of my way, I’ll give you five percent.”
I was hoping Melissa's presence would dissuade the Witch Hunter. Seems to be working a bit? And his training must have had a hell of a lot of work dehumanizing practitioners, because there's zero hesitation in viewing Lucy as an enemy combatant/monster despite her being very human.
“My own fault.” “Is that what they told you?” he asked. “No. Not at all. This is all what they’ve set up and made over centuries. It’s only your fault according to them, because that’s how they arranged it.”
I mean yes, in the sense that this is the way the world works (and damage Nicolette did) and isn't anything wrong that Melissa did. No, in the sense that this isn't something that the Kennet Trio in particular set up. Or that anyone arranged on purpose!
"And to you… Lucy or Melissa, it’s not your fault.  There’s better ways and better things.  I can tell you things they never will, and show you ways to deal with the threats that are going to be lurking in the shadows all your life.  I can show you how to feel empowered again.  I’ll be around.  I’ll come to you if you come looking for me.  Whether you want answers or a ticket out of… this.”
well that's a hell of a temptation for Melissa. I hope that bonding experience investigating the murder cabin was good for her?
The syringe was sturdy, with fine, dark filigree all down the glass, denser toward the end with the needle.  Artistry that could only come from the one place.  Inside was a oily slick of darkness, glistening, strands and clumps gathering into shapes suggestive of body parts.  And one blob of white that moved through it, to the surface of the glass. The blob of white had a face. Edith’s.
what the fuck
ok, so Fae artistry on the syringe? and I'm guessing Maricica, since it's dark filigree. And that clump of darkness... it makes me think Alpeana, but I'm hoping it's from someone else.
And why is there a blob of Edith in this? was the syringe extracted from her? Why? Who is it meant to inject? are they going to put Edith into a host who will become the Carmine Judge?

Note
can you talk about mar'i and Avery's friendship, aka the girl mar'i is ready to run away for
Here’s the thing—Mar’i knows the exact kind of toxic/abusive Jack’s family was so she’s very protective of his heart. But seeing him talk about Xander and Avery? Oh she knew that was it
So she asked Avery to coffee, promised she wasn’t going all toxic “girl best friend” and genuinely got to know each other. Avery was skeptical at first, but Mar’i’s genuine interest in her was very clear.
They talk all about tech, because on top of Avery’s Only Fans, she loves new tech designs. They go shopping and go out to lunch.
Avery jokingly told Jon she would fight him for Mar’i’s hand if given the word. Jon laughed and said they could trade dancers.
They are very very open about sex, not just positions and things the various couples do, but like the idea of sex and purity culture. Avery opened up to Mar’i about her assault and Mar’i just listened. Didn’t apologize for it happening to her or say any of the rhetoric that media says she should say. She just listened to Avery and gave her space to express her feelings on it. They talk about hyper sexuality being another way people cope with stuff.
When Avery’s pregnant with Niko, Mar’i’s the first person they tell. She’s so excited for them and offers whatever support they need. When Laney’s born super premature, Avery is at the Kent house day and night, working with omega to support Jon and Mar’i during the time. When Thalia’s born and they realize they don’t have a sitter, Mar’i shows up in less than 20 minutes, has his over night bag packed and tella them she’s got him for as long as they need. That’s why they gave Thalia Marie for a middle name.

Conversation
Happy Easter
April 9th
Alex: It only took a little time to settle back into the house in London. Alex missed the farm, but so far he enjoyed the time with the kids that he got. Whenever they were napping, he found himself in the studio Sophie had built for him and having Jack around just left the creativity flowing. Sophie was gone long days though, her working was so much different than being on tour, she was gone all day, busy working while he'd be busy but still see her and the kids between. Easter holidays came as a wonderful change to those long days with just him and the kids (and Jack) though and he was looking forward to having Sophie around for more than just the night. Saturday though, she was still at work and Jack was off doing whatever so Alex found himself stuck with the kids. When he tried to feed the dogs in the morning, he found their food to be almost empty and decided to pack up the little ones and drive out to the store to get more of the food. Since Jack wasn't there to help, Alex took some time to get the kids in the car and he could be driving off. At the store, he got Avery settled in her carrier, which made it easier to keep her with him but also safe from anyone spotting him, which was still different whenever he was out alone or with Sophie. He put Noah in his stroller and took Willa's hand to get them in the store and there, once he had to get the big bag of dog food, he let Noah walk around and rather placed the bag in the stroller so he didn't have to carry that around. The kids were curious and found the part of the store where there were all kinds of different pets on display, and Alex decided to let them look around for a moment, see all the little animals and he smiled as he watched them look around in awe.
Sophie: Sophie was working overtime, not technically real overtime but she was working right through Saturday so that Easter and the day after Easter could be spent with her family. Since arriving and getting back to filming she mostly only saw her family at night which also meant she barely got to see the kids and she only got to spend some time with Alex before she was passed out from being so tired. It wasn’t exactly them rolling around in bed, limbs tangled anymore. It was her passed out exhausted and waking up and slipping away at the crack of Dawn. It was hard for her but she also loved working, being back on set, getting to do what she was good at. Not just be a mother and someone’s future wife. Not that she minded it just felt good to feel like her in that way again. That day was long and more intense as she had to get in certain shots if they wanted to make sure they had Monday off still so she was hard at work, and didn’t even notice the time passing and by the time it was early noon time she was back in her trailer where normally she would have called but instead passed out in her bed and fell asleep.
Alex: It didn't take long until Willa spotted some baby bunnies and she squealed before running there. "Those are bunnies," Alex explained to the kids as he crouched down as best as he could with Avery in the carrier and she too tried to reach out and squealed when she saw the fluffy babies. "Bunnies, can you say that?" he asked Willa who said, "bun huns!" excitedly. They spent some time there and all kids were whining when he tried to make them leave so, soft as he could he when they wanted things, he ended up buying a whole lot of things they needed for the four little bunnies he had gotten. By the time they were home, he was too busy trying to get the bunnies settled in a make up pen in one of the guest rooms until their cage and pen would be set up in a few days. He didn't even question why Sophie hadn't called until the kids were passed out for an afternoon nap and he fell on the couch exhaustedly. "Hi, how are things?" he texted her, followed by a "any idea when you'll be home tonight?"
Sophie: She fell asleep for awhile before she was woken and went back to work. The day was long and tonight she was working well into the night. So when she got her mid-afternoon break to have a late lunch she saw the text messages. "Hi babe." she sent the message back. "It's going, we have a lot to cover but that way we have Sunday and Monday off." Her fingers typing over the phone, "How are the kids?" When he asked what time she'd be home she glanced at the clock, knowing what scenes they were still working on. "Probably not till late.. if we want monday off. I'm sorry." adding a little sad face, knowing she wouldn't be there to put the kids to bed again.
Alex: "The kids are good, napping right now. We went out to get dog food today and Jack's been out all day so they kept me on my feet," he texted back. "I figured you'd be working late, think you'll get a quick break later so the kids can call you before bed? If not we'll all be happy to see you in the morning." He knew Sophie struggled with not being there to put their kids to bed. "Also can't wait to have you back in bed with me tonight."
Sophie: A smile tugged to her lips, knowing that venturing out with three kids alone was no easy feat. "Where's Jack? Out terrorizing London?" Chuckling to herself because it wouldn't surprise her either, though she was sure he had friends in the city too. "I'll make time to call and say goodnight. I promise." It was hard enough when she was the one who put them to bed for so long. But this was good for her, to work through those things. "Mm don't get any ideas I'll probably fall asleep on you drooling at this rate."
Alex: "Went out to meet up with some friends I think. He wanted to do a little touristy stuff. Alright, we'll call when it's bed time then. Don't worry, you can sleep on me, babe :)" He was busy caring for the bunnies and getting the kids fed and tired before it was time for bed eventually. He called Sophie so they could say goodnight and then told her to come home as soon as she could, he'd be waiting for her to call up with him. When Jack came back, he was way too excited about the bunnies but eventually they both too headed for bed. There were some nights that Sophie couldn't make it back in time to put the kids to bed, but usually Alex stayed up until she came home, but today he was tired so he lay down already, trying to stay awake.
Sophie: "You could have done touristy stuff with him and the kids, would have been interesting." she chuckled as she sent back the message. "Good, I'm exhausted." Her message sent. She managed to slip away when he called and said goodnight. It tugged at her heart to hear Willa and Noah both calling for her but they seemed happy. By the time she was dropped off it was just a little after midnight as she wandered upstairs quietly and kicked off her shoes. She wasn't sure if Alex would still be awake so she slid into the room and closed the door and locked it to just give her some peace to change into a nightgown before sliding into the bed.
Alex: Alex was trying to be awake, but the day had been eventful and tiring so he was dozing off a bit while he waited. He stirred awake when the door closed and he heard light footsteps. "Soph?" he asked, lifting his head a bit to see her sliding into bed. "What time is it?" he questioned, wrapping his arms around her and tugging her in.
Sophie: "Hi baby." she murmured softly as she slid into bed. "after midnight." she murmured. His arms wrapped around her and pulled her in. "You can go back to sleep baby... Everything ran super late tonight. But we have Monday off so we can rest." Of course it was Easter morning tomorrow so it'd be busy with the kids, and her parents were coming to visit, but still.
Alex: "Hi," he murmured, already half asleep again as he nuzzled into her. He hummed when she said they had Monday off, but he was already dozing off again into a peaceful slumber. He knew they had to be up early, and with the kids and the farm back in Baltimore, his body was starting to get used to waking up early. So when he did wake, it was still barely daylight outside yet.
Sophie: When he nuzzled into her he was already half asleep again and she didn't want to wake him. So she settled in and let herself curl up before eventually dozing off. It wasn't until he started to move hours later did she groan, "Too early baby." she murmured still curled up with him since the daylight hadn't even started peeking through the curtains.
Alex: He had struggled his one leg free from the blankets, giving him the right temperature to stay curled up with Sophie even if he got a little warmer. But when he started to shift, she murmured and he turned his head and opened his eyes to look at her. "But it's Easter," he murmured. "The kids are gonna want to go looking for eggs. And we have to make sure the bunnies are okay, have to feed them."
Sophie: “Too early.” Though she absolutely wanted to see the kids running around when they looked for their eggs and Easter baskets. But the next part caught her attention as she partially sat up. “What do you mean make sure the bunnies are okay? You better mean chocolate bunnies and we don’t need to feed chocolate bunnies.” Eyeing him.
Alex: Alex groaned when Sophie shifted to sit up and he rolled onto his back, rubbing his face a bit as he woke up more. "No, the bunnies. The ones we.. Oh," he said realizing that he hadn't told her the day before so she really didn't know about them yet. He cleared his throat and sat up. "We were at the store yesterday and uh.." he trailed off. "I guess you should come with me," he murmured, starting to climb out of bed.
Sophie: She looked at him very confused when he started talking. When she cocked her head as he said he should follow her and then she let him lead her out of the room in her night gown. “Where are you taking me, you know thank god Willa isn’t awake if she heard you talking about bunnies.” She said “And you said no more animals.”
Alex: He almost laughed when Sophie warned him about letting Willa hear, when he was very aware of the reaction Willa had to the bunnies when they saw them at the store. How could he not have gotten her one? He led Sophie down the hall towards the guest room they had the bunnies set up in for now, everything was moved off the floor and there was a small one of the kids play pens set up to keep the bunnies in an enclosed place. He opened the door and led Sophie through to see the four tiny baby bunnies curled up together there. "I figured we didn't have any animals besides the dogs here," he tried to explain but really it had been the way the kids had looked at him with pleading eyes.
Sophie: When he opened the door she walked in to see the little makeshift enclosure and was brought forward to find four very tiny little bunnies curled up with each other sleeping. “Oh my gosh.” Her voice soft but one of them twitched from the noise but snuggled back up into their siblings. “They’re precious. You made sure they’re all one gender right? You know rabbits have like billions of babies unless we’re gonna start a bunny farm.” She giggled reaching in and plucking one up that just stuck out to her. “Oh you’re so cute little one hi. Oh the kids are so lucky. Actual bunnies for Easter.”
Alex: For a brief second Alex wasn't sure if Sophie was gonna be mad at him for randomly getting them bunnies, not that he'd think she had any reason because she herself had just gotten them mini cows basically. He smiled though when Sophie moved forward to look at the bunnies and then pick one up into her hands. "They are all one gender, yes," he chuckled. They don't have names yet, so you and the kids can think of those," he said with a smile and crouched down to let one of the bunnies hope over to his hand before picking it up into his hand.
Sophie: Part of her could have gotten mad, she may have gotten the cows but in the end Alex had been there, and could have demanded no… it would have been an argument but still this had been fully on his own with no indication especially after he said absolutely no more animals. One of the bunnies must have realized it’s sibling was gone and hopped over to Alex and he picked them up. “Boys? Girls?” She asked, “You realize Willa is going to freak out when we have to leave them here right?” She grinned. “Unless this is your way of saying we’ll be in England more… “ though she didn’t want to say that because she had four very cute mini cows at home. “There’s four… is this your way of proposing we have another baby or is this your way of saying you found out you secretly have another kid or something?”
Alex: "They're all little ladies. Apparently when you get all boys, they can get into bad fights," he chuckled softly. At her words he looked over and shrugged his shoulders a little bit. He hadn't really thought that much about it, but in the end maybe this was his way of acknowledging he was okay spending more time here." Oh no, no fourth kid. Figured each one of the kids gets one.. And one for you, that you obviously already picked, to say sorry for getting bunnies without talking to you first?" He bit on his lower lip and offered a smile.
Sophie: “Aw little lady bunnies.” She said “oh so males are the aggressive ones huh then I’m glad we have females”. Her kids seeing animals fight to the death was not something she wanted. “One for me?” She asked surprised “oh! Yay.” She held up the bunny and snuggled her nose next to the baby bunny nose. “Hi little cutie.” She cooed. “Wait.. can I Name her Sansa?” She grinned
Alex: "I mean that's what I heard, can't say I can confirm," he said with a chuckle as he watched her with the bunny while he let the one he had picked up curl into his hand. Alex scrunched up his nose a little bit. "I guesd you could," he murmured because he knew he could only tell her no to naming an animal Sansa for so long, and he was still making sure she wouldn't get mad.
Sophie: “Well im happy with four little girls if they’ll get along.” She said when he scrunched his nose. “Why are you so anti Sansa? It’s literally a character I played?” She asked shaking her head. She played with the little bunny a bit longer before putting her back. “Well you feed them and I’m gonna go get the egg hunt finished up.”
Alex: "Maybe that's why," he said but then shrugged. "I just told you it's alright though. You go ahead with naming the little one Sansa," he chuckled softly. He let the tiny bunny nestle in his hand, probably still trying to get accustomed and need loads of rest. He agreed and went to feed the little bunnies and clean up their makeshift enclosure a bit before he found Sophie again." Anything you need help with or are you all finished up?" he asked, walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her. It was still early in the morning and he pressed a soft kiss to the back of her shoulder. "Sorry I made you get up so early."
Sophie: “Maybe that’s why isn’t even an answer.” She said shaking her head. “Nope I’ll name her something else.” She said more out of being difficult and probably slightly overtired. When he got to work cleaning she went around the living room and dining room hiding eggs and then some out onto the patio and back yard before setting up their baskets. Once everything was done she pulled out the bagels to heat them and took different spreads out to let them warm up a little bit before feeling Alex wrap his arms around her. “I think I got everything done just have to wait till they wake up but that could be awhile from now.” Since the sun was just now coming up.
Alex: Alex arched a brow but then shrugged, knowing with being tired, he should not poke about it right now or this could turn into a fight. So he rather went about cleaning the enclosure and feeding the bunnies while Sophie got the egg hunt set up. She was in the kitchen preparing bagels when he found her and wrapped his arms around her. "Come lay back down with me," he murmured when she said it was gonna be a while until the kids would wake.
Sophie: His arms wrapped around her and she shifted the plate forward. “What if we fall back to sleep?” She asked since they had gotten up so early after all. But nonetheless she let him lead her back upstairs and crawled into bed fixed her nightgown and waited for Alex to come in and lay with her too.
Alex: "Then we'll get in more sleep before the kids come in and wake us," he said like there was absolutely nothing wrong with that. He lead her upstairs and back to there bedroom where he smiled softly as she crawled into bed and he followed, climbing in and moving to lay with her.
Sophie: She settled into bed but didn’t move to lay under the blankets as Alex climbed into the bed and she shifted to lay next to him, tucking a pillow under her head and turning on her side to face him. “It was such a night.” She yawned. “I mean I’ve barely gotten to lay down with you since working.” It had been nine days since the first day of work and they last time they had been intimate had been then.
Alex: "I mean I'm just glad you're coming home to sleep in bed with me most nights," he murmured. As long as she wasn't out working all night, they'd been sleeping in the same bed, just not for long periods of time. He reached out to caress her cheek and offered a smile. "And you're laying down with me right now," he teased slightly.
Sophie: “Mm most nights but not every night. This upcoming week I’ll probably be there two days.” She said without returning home that meant. Which was a lot for any mom to three little ones. “We have a night shoot into a day shoot. Coming home would be pointless.” She admitted. “Mm I know just feels like we haven’t been close in forever.”
Alex: "Mmh, we're gonna miss you," he murmured, shifting to wrap his arm around her and tug her in a little bit. "Just think I get to have you around for two days now," he told her to try and cheer her up a bit. He leaned in closer, then shifted to roll her onto him as he moved onto his back. "I know, baby. And I miss you. But you're also tired and, well I'm tired too, so..." he trailed off, rubbing his hand up and down her back because of course he missed being intimate with her but he'd also never blame it on her at all.
Sophie: “Two days together is going to be so nice.” She said. She felt him tug her and pull her into him a bit. “We can sleep babe.” She murmured. “A few more weeks won’t kill us.” It wasn’t like they didn’t go through this after she gave birth so she was okay with. “Get some more sleep babe.” She pecked his lips before shifting to curl up some.
Alex: "Pretty sure I'm not gonna be able to fully keep my hands off of you for several weeks," he chuckled softly, but he sunk more into bed when she said once more to get some more sleep. He kept her tugged to him, at least while falling asleep again. A little more sleep was definitely good for them since it has been super early still.
Sophie: “Well i don’t know if we’re gonna have a choice babe.” She murmured, “I really don’t know between being so tired or not here.” She said shaking her head, “but it’s not like we won’t survive.” She murmured because it was true even if they had a very healthy sex life. As she laid her head down and closed her eyes.
Alex: He grunted softly in disagreement but truth was right now sleeping seemed much more inviting than discussing but not actually having sex. Alex woke to the sound of their daughter calling for "bun buns" a while later and he chuckled before laughing and starting to shift so he could slip out of bed, hopefully without disturbing Sophie. He knew she needed a lot of rest.
Sophie: A little while later she woke to find Alex gone and eventually slipped out of her keeping in her semi tiny nightgown because she felt overly warm for once. Walking out of the room she called for Alex before finding him with Willa and the bunnies. “I see someone is all excited for the bunnies.”
Alex: Alex was sitting in the middle of the enclosure with Willa, trying to teach her to be gentle though truth was all the time with the animals on their farm had taught her well on how to treat the creatures. Alex glanced up with a smile when Sophie entered the room and Willa, who had just gently picked up one of the bunnies, held it up for her mother to see. "Bun buns!" she almost squealed in excitement. "I'm surprised she didn't wake you yelling that when she woke up," he chuckled softly and started to scramble to his feet to move over to Sophie. "How'd you sleep!" he asked, leaning in to peck her lips.
Sophie: “Are these bun buns?” She asked chuckling at the cute name that Willa was calling them. “They’re very cute and everyone has one. I’ll be nice and share mine with daddy.” She cooed petting the bunny she was holding. “Gentle baby she’s just a little baby bunny.” She murmured. “Bun bun!” She said all excited. “My bun bun.” As Alex got up and pecked her lips. “I slept good I feel warm right now.”
Alex: "I think this one's hers now," Alex explained with a soft chuckle. "Don't tell me you could've said no if she asked you for "bun buns" with that look she gives when she wants something.. And Noah too," he said as he walked over to peck her lips." You feel warm?" he asked with a bit of concern in his voice.
Sophie: "I think so and that's good think it's good that she got first pick. Noah should go next, and I don't think Avery will complain." she chuckled. "I mean you told me absolutely no more animals so I actually probably would have." she grinned. "you're screwed when she's older you realize that and she asks for a car." chuckling. "Yeah normally you are all warm but right now I feel so hot and it's not like it's super warm here."
Alex: "Noah we can't let him pick the bunnies up yet. He tries to be gentle but I'm afraid he might squish them," he murmures. He playfully rolled his eyes and then chuckled. "It's not fair they look at me that way," Alex murmured and sighed. Reaching up she brushed from strands of hair from Sophie's face and felt hed forehead. "You're not getting sick though are you?"
Sophie: “We have to teach him more he’s going to be two this summer.” She said “maybe we can hold the bunnies and let him choose that way.” Since she wanted him to be able to do that. “Yeah well too late to change it and she now knows you are wrapped around her little finger. Probably even more then me, you’d probably push me under a bus for her.” She teased. “No not sick. Just overly warm probably from working all weird hours in the cold and then warm building and my body is just adjusting.” Giving a shrug.
Alex: "I know, but right now, he grips them just a little too hard still. I think that might work yeah," he nodded and glanced back at Willa who was cuddling the baby bunny to her now while the others hopped around their pen. "Alright, I don't want you getting sick though so we're gonna have you resting during your time off, how about that?" he offered a smile and then leaned in again to peck her lips. "You wanna just hang with Willa? I'll get us some coffee - or do you want tea?"
Sophie: “We’ll just work on it with him. He can’t learn unless we help him.” She said but they could start off slow. “I don’t mind resting but I really think I’m fine it’s just the changing weathers.” She murmured. “Well We have to get the other babies up the Easter egg hunt before jack starts finding them.” She chuckled, “But yea tea would be great.”
Alex: "Yeah, we'll help him understand," he said with a smile. "How about I get us coffee and tea and then check on the babies. They can say hi to the bunnies and then we'll get them looking for the eggs before Jack wakes?" he offered with a smile before he was off. He found Avery just waking up when he passed her room, so he made a quick detour to get her, change her and carry her with him to get their drinks. She was clinging to him as he tried to balance two mugs while holding onto her safely and getting everything back upstairs. "Let's find mommy, yeah?" he murmured. "She's with the bunnies, yknow?" he entered the room again and handed Sophie her tea with a smile. "Didn't check on Noah yet but I'm sure he's either up already and judt content or waking up soon. I'll go check. You want to help me get Avery down?" he told her, while the little girl was gripping her tiny fingers into his shirt as if holding on for dear life.
Sophie: "Especially because he is getting older he needs to learn to be gentle, he's really good with Avery."she said but obviously these bunnies were much smaller than Avery was. "That sounds good to me, I'll keep her busy or well, the bunnies will." As willa squealed "bun-bun" again. "Yes the bun buns." she shook her head. When he returned she saw Avery practically clinging to Alex and furrowed her brows. "Aw what's wrong with my baby?" she asked looking at her as she shifted and Avery saw Sophie and started wiggling in Alex's arms as she got up and took her gently from him and then she moved and clung onto Sophie making different noises. "Are you okay baby girl." as she made a little noise. "Did you miss mummy?"
Alex: "Oh, no doubt she misses you," Alex said as Avery craned her neck to see Sophie and then started wiggling in his arms. "I know, I kmow there's mommy. Hold on okay, she'll take you but you have to stop wiggling or you're gonna fall," Alex warned with a chuckle and then let Sophie take the little girl. "Alright, lemme go get Noah and then we can let them go egg hunting," he smiled, sipping his coffee before heading off towards Noah's room where he was just contently sitting in his bed and looking up when Alex entered the room. "Morning, buddy. You wanna come say hi to the bunnies?" he smiled as he picked him up, made sure to change him before carrying out to the other room
Sophie: "I miss her too." she said holding onto her tightly. Because she did, she missed all her babies, work she loved but didn't mean it wasn't hard to be away. When Alex left and then returned she saw Noah, "There's my big boy." she said holding Avery in her lap sitting up and a bunny in her hand for her to see. "Gentle." she murmured since it was Sophie's bunny she was holding. "Figure you could help him choose his bunny from the two left and then let Avery see her bunny before we take them out. I have eggs hidden inside and outside, but I did make a little area for Avery to crawl around in and get eggs." she murmured.
Alex: Noah seemed almost torn between wanting to get to his mommy or see the bunnies but in the end Alex got him to sit down in the pen. He picked up the remaining two bunnies for Noah to see and let him pick one. "Okay, this one's yours then, do you wanna hold it? You have to be gentle though," he reminded him.
Sophie: Sophie put her bunny down and Willa was still following hers hopping around the room as she asked Alex to hand over the other bunny. "Look at this cutie, she's all yours Avery." she cooed as the little girl clung to Sophie 'I know mummy missed you too baby." she murmured looking up at Alex with sad eyes. "She's so clingy right now, think if I put her down she'd have an absolute meltdown."
Alex: Alex handed over the other bunny before helping Noah getbit settled in his lap and teaching him how to pet it gently and carefully. Willa was busy runnung after her bunny and Alex looked up to see the sad look on Sophie's face. "You just cuddle her, baby. If she wants you right now and you wanna just hold her, no one's telling you to put her down. He knew Willa and Noah missed their mother too but this was the first time Avery experienced Sophie not being around for full days.
Sophie: "I am cuddling her I jusst mean if I did put her down she would lose it." Anytime she shifted a little bit she clutched onto her. It was the first time that Sophie had been away from the little girls since she was born and it was obvious she was struggling. "I just feel bad it's obviously bothering her." Which she knew was normal. "How about we get them downstairs some of those eggs outside have chocolate in them and don't want the sun to melt them."
Alex: "I meant just keep cuddling her. I'm not gonna make you put her down." He nodded, agreeing to getting the kids outside, which took a little while until they all let go of the bunnies and Alex could pick them up, playfully throwing them over each shoulder to carry them downstairs.
Sophie: When they got up Avery continued to cling to her as they headed downstairs, Alex tossing them over his shoulder and hearing their kids giggle all excited. Once downstairs little baskets were handed to both Willa and Noah, "You're gonna have to really show them what to do." she grinned, "Guess you get to easter egg hunt too."
Alex: Once they were downstairs, Alex made sure both kids had one of the baskets before he tried to teach them what to do. It took a moment, but then they were off looking for the eggs Sophie had hidden before. Avery was rather clinging go Spphie now and Alex reached out to brush his hand over the back of her head. "It's okay, your mommy's bot leaving you.
Sophie: Watching them she managed to hold Avery in one arm while taking a few pictures she wanted all the memories she could have. “Gosh we have the cutest kids.” She said all happy and proud. When he brushed Avery’s back she clung more. “She thinks you’re gonna take her. I think her and I are gonna go sit in the lounge right there and nurse her if that’s okay maybe it’ll help her relax.”
Alex: "Of course," Alex said softly and he leaned in tp peck Sophie's lips before returning to help the kids who seemed to easily get the hang of it. Once everything inside was found, or so Alex figured at least, the put jackets and shoes on to find the eggs outside, Alex following go make sure they were alright.
Sophie: She stepped outside and moved over to the comfortable lounge chair and laid back some before shifting to let Avery nurse, her latching on much stronger than usual. "Has daddy been feeding you?" she grinned because of course she knew he was, it was just that comfort she was seeking as she watched the kids run around for their eggs, Alex following as best as he could with two toddlers that had her chuckling.
Alex: Outside, the kids seemed to have a blast finding the eggs and Alex trailed behind, though constantly catching up with both of them was not easy. Eventually he decided to plop down in the chair besides Sophie. "Think they're good now," he said with a smile. "How are you two?"
Sophie: When he plopped down next to her, "they looked like they had so much fun, but I think we should steal some of their eggs and put them back out. I feel bad that Jack won't have eggs to find." she grinned, he really was like their fourth kid sometimes. "We're good, she's still nursing but she's definitely doing it for comfort right now. I joked and asked if daddy was feeding her." she grinned.
Alex: "Jack's gonna be fine," Alex laughed softly. He shifted and glanced over, chuckling and shaking his head. "I did feed her," he confirmed. "She is getting loads of food, just think it might be the boobs that I'm missing."
Sophie: "I'm just saying if Jack is upset I offered to have him have his own little mini egg hunt." she quipped grinning at the man. "I know you fed her." rolling her eyes. "Oh that you're missing huh? Well you two miss them for very different reasons."
Alex: Alex laughed. "That's not what I meant," he said with a grin. "If I had boobs then maybe she'd be happier when I feed her. But I /do/ miss your boobs too," he added with a smirk. They lingered outside while the kids were just moving around with the dogs, enjoying the light sun that morning. Thankfully it wasn't as cold anymore and they could probably enjoy the day outside for the most part." Think we can get a little fire going tonight?" Alex asked. "Just to hang around, nothing bit." He made a mental note to get a firepit set up here like the one they had on the farm.
Sophie: "I mean they have a thing you can wear that you put the bottle in and makes it seem like they're eating from boobs from their dad if you want to do that." she grinned, "I can order you one." she chuckled. "Mm like I said you miss them for a very different reason, hers is for comfort, yours is for fun." she teased. "Yeah I'd really like that, I think we have the stuff to do s'mores and if not, we have peeps to fill in for the marshmallows and tons of easter chocolate." she said as she shifted Avery from one side to the other as she really didn't want to stop but it was getting painful on one side.
Alex: He arched a brow, glancing over. "I shouldn't be surprised that that's a thing," he chuckled though he wasn't sure if he'd actually need that. It was just different with little Avery since she was more focused on Sophie than Willa ever was and with Noah they didn't really have a time where Sophie was gone for long while he was still so little. "Either works. Should be nice right? Just hang around the fire for a bit, since it's Easter after all," he chuckled softly. One of the dogs started barking and whining, wagging their tail and Alex looked over to find Jack wandering outside. "There you are," the man murmured, still looking half asleep. "You missed the whole easter egg hunt," Alex teased with a grin. "Maybe the kids will share some of what they found with you."
Sophie: "I mean there are two dad families and they want that bonding so it makes sense they have something like that." she pointed out. "It will be really nice to just sit out, spend the day outside aside from when the kids need to nap." she pointed out. when the dogs got all excited, she saw Jack as she shifted still holding Avery's head to her that was suckling away happily and didn't want to be moved. "I offered to do a mini one for you but Alex is just going to let you hope that the kids will share with you. I'm sure Avery will share since she didn't get to have her egg hunt in her little area." she pointed.
Alex: "I'm not getting to do an egg hunt?" Jack asked, rubbing his face a little bit. "Nope, should've gotten up earlier," Alex said with a smirk. He got up to get more coffee, bring Jack a cup too and another cup of tea for Sophie. They lingered outside for a while, letting the kids enjoy and play until it was time to actually sit down and have a late breakfast, early lunch and then put them down for a nap. Jack decided to put Noah down and on the monitor Aldx realised the man had fallen asleep as well, causing Alex to laugh softly, but leave his friend to his nap for now. He wandered into the kitchen, sure Sophie wanted to spend some more time lurking around Avery who was having trouble going down for her nap, so he was just gonna take the time to prepare some food to have around the fire later.
Sophie: "I offered, so don't blame this one one me, this is all Alex." she said looking over and sticking her tongue out at him. She wasn't going to take that fall. The day passed almost seemlessly until it came time for nap time and Avery did not want to separate from her mother. She nursed her again, tried rubbing her back, but she whined and cried. It took nearly an hour before the little girl hiccuped herself to sleep and she found her way downstairs noticing Jack was sleeping on the floor of Noah's room and she shook her head. Meeting in the kitchen she let out a sigh, "She did not want to go down for a nap and be let go of me." she murmured. "She finally is sleeping hopefully she'll be knocked out for awhile."
Alex: Alex looked over his shoulder and smiled softly when he saw Sophie coming into the kitchen. "She just wants to be around you," he said softly. "It's good she's sleeping now." Turning his attention away from the food he had started to prepare, Alex turned around to face Sophie. "Everyone's napping," he said, including Jack apparently. "It's just you and me now," he lips twitched into a grin as he moved towards her. "We can nap if you're tired," he offered, not fully sure if maybe she did want to just get some rest in. Reaching her, he took her hands and tugged her in that way so her body would lean flush against his and he could lean in easily to peck her lips.
Sophie: "I know but I feel so bad, leaving her this much when she obviously is confused." Willa had been more attached to Alex and she had only done a few small projects, Noah had been when she hadn't been filming anything. So Avery was the first really adjusting to this at this young. "I know, Jack is passed out on Noah's floor which his hand in the crib, it's kind of adorable." she chuckled. When he pulled her in and pressed his lips to her she hummed. "Nope, I'm not so tired right now. I mean I'm still in my nightgown so if you think I'm going to change now you're wrong." she grinned.
Alex: "I know, but she'll be okay. She just needs some time to adjust," he murmured softly. Smiling, he heard her humming against his lips and guided her hands so her arms would wrap around his waist before letting them go so he could bring his own arms around her shoulders. "Not change, " he smirked, "more like maybe I get a chance to just get you out of this nightgown." His eyes locked on hers and this time he hummed softly.
Sophie: “I know. And it’s only a few weeks.” It wasn’t like she was going to be filming for months and months like some previous projects. Her hands were led to wrap around his waist and his around her shoulders. “Oh you want to get me out of the nightgown.” She murmured his eyes on hers. “Missing that alone time with me.” Since they hadn’t been intimidate in well over a week now. “We could make that happen possibly.”
Alex: "Exactly. I don't want you feeling bad, alright? It's great you're getting to do what you love," he said softly as he guided her arms around him before wrapping his around her, a grin spreading on his lips. "We could annoy the hell out of Jack and have that alone time right here," Alex murmured, taking a few steps with her to guide her back against the counter. "He's gonna hate knowing we've had sex in the kitchen where he gets his food," he said softly and started to lean in to capture her lips in a soft kiss. "Or we can sneak away and christen the studio," he smirked against her lips.
Sophie: “I know I am so happy to be able to do this.” She knew she was blessed and lucky to do what she loved. A laugh left her lips when he said about jack being annoyed if they had sex in the kitchen where he got food. “Are you planning on telling him what we got up to while they napped?” His hands moved to guide her back towards the counter. “Mmm” she hummed against his mouth. “Oh or the studio as much as I would like that I would prefer not to break anything.” She murmured. “Though we could break it in later because I fully intend to.”
Alex: A soft laugh escaped his lips at her question. "If he ask if we napped then yeah, I may tell him." A grin was still on his lips as he caught her between the counter and him and his hands gripped into the fabric of her gown lightly, tugging and pulling on it a bit to show his intend of wanting it off. "I'm sure we wouldn't break anything. But I'm also happy to just have you right here," he murmured into their kiss before deepening that a little bit.
Sophie: “You know he’s going to ask.” Because that was just jack for you, and that meant him getting hit with something that would make him a tiny bit appalled but not as much as it would be rian. His hands gripped her nightgown. “Mm how about you take me in here and maybe tonight when everyone goes to bed you may just find me in the studio doing naughty things.” She quipped against his mouth before his mouth deepened their kiss and she heavily kissed him back almost ravenous.
Alex: Alex grinned because he was very well aware that Jack would ask what they had been up to and while he'd never tell details, Jack would know just what they had been busy with. Alex groaned into their kiss at her words and his hands started to pull the fabric up to tug the nightgown off of her, leaving him way overdressed but pressing himself into her a little bit. None of them had really cared to dress up or out of their sleeping clothes, it had just been a relatively relaxing morning after all, so the pajama pants Alex wore did nothing to hide just how easily reactive his was to her, their conversation and her touch.
Sophie: “You just want to see him squirm.” She murmured. “I’m better to make squirm.” Grinning at him because it sounded like a lot more fun of a time. His hands gripped and started to pull the fabric up and she shifted to let him pull it off of her leaving her naked in the kitchen. Her hand slid down his chest and toward his pajama pants and started to caress his length through the thin pajama pants.
Alex: "Oh you want me to make you squirm?" Alex asked, a grin still very evident on his lips as their kiss broke so he could pull the nightgown off of her, leaving her beautifully naked in front of him. He moaned as her hand started to slide down his chest and then found his length to caress with just the thin layer of the pajama pants between his cock and her hand. Alex slid his hands down her sides and to her waist, gripping them lightly so he could pick her up and sit her up on the counter before his hands dropped from her so he could reach up and tug his shirt off of his chest. He leaned in to kiss her again, hands wandering down her body until one slid between her legs to start rubbing her clit.
Sophie: “Don’t you want to make me squirm.” She countered grinning back at him because she knew that was the case. His hands shifted and moved to pull her up onto the kitchen island her legs spreading open to allow him easy access to her. Her hand still caressing his cock between the fabric. When he stated to lean in and stroke her clit she moaned loud against his lips.
Alex: Of course she was right. "I love making you squirm," he grinned before capturing her lips in another kiss and shifting her to get her up on the counter top of the kitchen island, her legs easily spreading for him. He felt her hand on him still, so teasingly over the thin fabric of his pants but while wanted that gone, he was also happy busy himself otherwise before. Her moan was just what he wanted to hear, it was like music to his ears and he happily kept his fingers on her, rubbing slow circles against her.
Sophie: “Almost as much as you love making me come.” She husked, her arousal making her slightly more vocal in what she was saying. The circles were slow against her clit as she moaned again, tipping her head back breathing heavy as her hand grasped his cock through his pajama pants. Her hand began to stroke him the fabric to use as extra friction against him.
Alex: "Almost," he repeated, a smirk playing on his lips as their kiss broke so Sophie could tip her head back and he looked at her, taking her in and moaning softly at the sight. He moved his fingers a few more times before sliding his hand down between wet lips, stroking between before sliding a finger in and pumping it a few times. Alex groaned at the strokes she now opted to do against his cock and his other hand slid between her legs too, his thumb now starting to rub against her clit while his fingers pumped in and out of her.
Sophie: She wanted him to enjoy the view, though she was highly aware he always enjoyed the view. His fingers slid between the wet lips coating himself before sliding into her and immediately started pumping his fingers inside of her. “Oh god Alex!” She cried out when his other hand came up and his thumb put pressure on her clit, still pumping into her, her hips thrusting a tiny bit onto the counter.
Alex: He always enjoyed watching her, seeing her shift and arch her back or grind her hips, almost as much as he loved hearing her. So getting both was perfect right now. "Yes baby," he husked out, licking his lips as his fingers pumped a little faster to match the way her hips were now thrusting, and to keep egging her on.
Sophie: He seemed to be enjoying what was happening, what he was seeing as he continued to move his hands so easily between her legs, curling his fingers as her hands now moved and grasped the counter as if she was trying to hold on. “Oh fuck.” She breathed out. “Oh god right there. Harder.” She cried as he would caress that spot that felt so good Inside of her.
Alex: Alex bit his lower lip as he watched her grasp at the counter, his fingers curling a bit inside of her between pumping in and out, eager to get her to find that release he could tell she was getting closer to. He pumped harder, finding just that spot again and curling his fingers to put a little more pressure while his thumb caressed against her, rubbing circles and pressing down a little bit.
Sophie: He followed through moving his hand harder to push his fingers more into her curling and pulling agaisnt the soft spongy area inside of her that was enough to drive her crazy. When he finally pushed enough she felt it her body tensing throwing back as she hit her orgasm screaming out his name her legs moving farther apart to let her hand slide fully agaisnt her core to stimulate her through the orgasm.
Alex: Alex smirked as he felt her body tensing against him. He didn't stop moving, eager to guide her through her orgasm before he finally pulled his hand away and wrapped it around her neck instead to pull her up and into him more, capturing her lips in a heavy kiss. His free hand moved to her lower back, pulling her in and closer to the edge of the counter top. "I want you baby,"he almost growled against her lips, into their kiss.
Sophie: His fingers didn’t stop wanting her to fully enjoy and take in her orgasm. When he grabbed her neck pulling her into him roughly her mouth consuming with his. She was on the edge now as she his growl causing her to feel her lower pelvis inside clench at the idea. “I don’t want you to be gentle I need you to fuck me.” She breathed. “I fucking need you.”
Alex: Alex groaned again at her words, his body shifting into hers a little bit. "Fuck," he cursed as he broke away to step back from her a bit, making it easier to finally get rid of his pants before he pulled her towards him more, helping her off the kitchen island and tugging her flush against him for a moment. "Turn around," he husked, almost like an order and when she did, like he knew she would, his hands gripped at her hips lightly, pulling her back against him so he could press his hips into her, his cock sliding against her. He adjusted, bringing the tip to her core so he could slide into her with a thrust of his hips, finally burying his length inside of her.
Sophie: It took a second of separation and him pulling away to remove his pants that he had been wearing before his hands grasped her hips pulling her down off the kitchen island and onto the floor. His voice was a thick rasp, a groan leaving her lips when he told her to turn around and she was more so guided to it. Her back hit his chest before pulling her hips to an angle and burying his cock inside of her with one quick up thrust and she gasped arm wrapped up and back around his neck clinging to him as she adjusted to him inside of her for a moment before she let her arm go and bent over the counter making it easier for him behind her.
Alex: Once he was buried inside of her, Alex waited a moment for her to adjust before he started to thrust his hips. Sophie's arm was wrapped around his neck before she dropped it so she could bend over the counter, his hands on her hips as he picked up a quick pace of thrusting his hips. "Fuck, baby.."he cursed out, one hand sliding up her spine until his could tangle his fingers in her hair.
Sophie: It felt good to feel him inside of her after he has brought her to orgasm with just his hand. This gave her that feeling of being completely connected as one together. That need to be as humanly close to each other. Her body pressed into the hard counter and she felt his hips move faster and harder until his hand slide up her back before grasping her red locks. “Oh god yes.” She moaned out as if giving him permission to pull at her hair.
Alex: His pace was quick, thrusts hard because he needed to feel her against him that way, after watching her come undone at his hand's touch, he felt such a want for her. At her words, the hint of a smirk curled onto his lips as he gripped her hair a little and pulled it back, tugging on it, not hard but enough to cause her to arch her back a little bit.
Sophie: There was that feeling by the way he moved that Alex needed to feel her and touch her. That despite their active sex life from the beginning here they were nearly three years later as actively wanting of the other. He grasped her hair pulling on it to pull her head back causing her back to arch and pull her chest off the counter causing her breast to gently slap agaisnt the counter with each thrust causing extra stimulation that way. “Yes. Yes. Yes. Al. Oh fuck me yes.” She cried out.
Alex: Alex was so easily caught up in the moment now that they were this connected again. He had missed feeling her this close, being this connected and the fact that they were technically fully exposed in their kitchen didn't bother him right this second. He was too busy taking in the feeling of her, the view he got, the soft, lustful noises she let out. "You feel so good, fuck," Alex breathed. His hand kept a good grip on her hair for a moment before he loosened it to lean down over her, his hand on her hip sliding up her side a little and then under her, around her body to pull her up enough to hold her against his chest.
Sophie: She could always tell when Alex was caught up in the moment, he didn't hold back, he didn't rush, despite where they were in said moment. Being away and having limited time, being exhausted when you came home that lead to almost weeks of no physical intimacy lead to an almost carnal need with each other. His breath against her skin as he told her how she felt around him. Once he released her hair her body fell forward and she felt the pressure of his body on her until his hand slid up and around her and pull her back so that she was pressed firmly into his chest. "Mmm baby." she whined, "Maybe we should take this downstairs." she breathed. Taking in gasping breaths and leaning into him with his cock buried inside of her.
Alex: His pace slowed a little as he pulled her up against him, holding her tight. He buried his face in the back of her neck, humming softly and swallowing hard. "Downstairs? You wanna go in the studio?" he breathed against her skin, playfully nibbling at her neck.
Sophie: His pace was slower given the position to hold her tight against him. "Downstairs." she murmured. "We can christen the studio." she murmured. "Really celebrate it." she teased, "and you know lean more places we've touched having sex." she grinned as she nibbled her neck and she mewled almost too happily at the feeling.
Alex: His arm was still wrapped tightly around her, the other hand sliding up her chest over her breast as he nibbled on her neck. "I'm gonna have to let go of you," he warned, but the grin on his lips he was sure she could feel against her skin easily gave away how very tempted he was.
Sophie: His hands kept moving, stimulating her, his hands brushing over her breast as he nibbled at her neck a little longer. "I know we won't make it downstairs with you inside of me." she breathed. 'But you could have me in any way you want downstairs. On the couches, chairs, floor, on my hands and knees, from behind, in the recording room." she husked trying to tempt him more.
Alex: He wasn't putting too much attention on one spot of her skin, aware she wasn't going to have a good time at work if he left a hickey, but his lips still lingered. "I'm already having you from behind," he teased before finally lifting his head away from her and his body off her back, grip loosening as he sucked in a breath and stepped back from her, his cock slipping from her and he cursed under his breath at the loss of feeling her." Lead the way," he murmured, biting down on his lips.
Sophie: She rolled her eyes as he continued to tease at her skin, "You have me from behind in the kitchen, anyone can say that, but not in the studio." she hummed. When he pulled back the immediate loss caused her to suck in a breath her stomach tightening. Taking his hand she pulled in close and kissed him moving through the kitchen into the hallway, them very much naked and down the hallway to the steps. She pulled him into her so their bodies still touched as they moved down the stairs and into the basement studio as she pressed the door opened and closed it with her foot when they were on the other side.
Alex: Alex couldn't keep his hands off of her so when she pulled him in, his free hand wrapped around her and started to roam a bit. He kissed her back happily, though chuckling into their kiss as they almost stumbled down the hall, keeping their bodies close together. Neither of them cared about where their clothes were left discarded. Once in the studio, Sophie kicked the door shut and Alex stepped into her, backing her into the door and pressing her up against it as he deepened the kiss.
Sophie: His hands roamed while they made their way downstairs, not that she minded, she liked the intimacy of being handsy and frisky with each other as they made their way through the house naked. She just finished kicking the door shut when her body was pressed up into it and his mouth was on hers deepening it and immediately moaning loudly into his mouth.
Alex: As tempting as it was to have a good time anywhere in the studio, and as fun as it was being handsy on their way there, Alex wanted to be inside of her again. So he pressed her into the door immediately when it was closed, his hips pressing into hers, his hars length rubbing up against her. One of his hands slid down to the back of her upper thigh so he could lift her leg up and guide it to wrap around his waist.
Sophie: Her back was against the door and his hand was pulling back at her thigh to lead it around his waist. "Fuck me." she breathed, "Please." she dragged her nails down his chest eyes looking up and searching his the obvious lust and need in them as she almost shook with the need of him back inside of her after too long physically apart.
Alex: Sophie's words were almost pleading as their eyes locked and he could see the lust and want he felt reflected in them. He adjusted, guiding her leg to wrap around his waist before he stepped more between her legs so he could slide back into her, burying his cock deep inside of her. "Fuck, I missed feeling you so much, Soph.."
Sophie: She knew that he wanted her just as much. That sleeping next to each other but being exhausted to only share brief kisses here and there, their bodies no longer could take, and needed that connection between them. Whether she originally had worried about it or not, they were a couple that were physical and cared about being intimate with each other. He shifted his body and felt him adjust himself before his cock slid up and into her burying deep inside. "I've missed you so much." she breathed. "I need you so badly Al." she said in an almost whimpering sad tone. "I miss you." she breathed, leaning her forehead against his.
Alex: Once he was buried inside of her again, Alex took a moment to let that feeling of being so very closely connected sink in again. Their foreheads leaned together and he let out an almost whined sound when Sophie said she missed him, her tone so sad. Sliding his hands up her sides, he found her hands and laced their fingers together, giving hers a gentle squeeze. "Feels so fucking good to be with you again." He started slow thrusts, rather focusing on being as connected as possible than how quick he could go to cause any kind of friction.
Sophie: She had missed him and their physical intimacy, even if it was just making out and giggling together when they were tired. "So good, baby." she murmured his thrusts slow for now her hands coming up and cupping his face. Tilting her head she brought her lips to his and brought them into a deep, heavy, needy kiss her tongue exploring every crevice of his mouth, tangling with his tongue as she shifted her hips with his.
Alex: It was still needy in a way, but mostly slow and passionate. Their movements matched so perfectly, slow thrusts met with her hips as she shifted and they lingered in a heavy kiss, exploring, deepening, tasting each other.
Sophie: Her hands moved from his face to slide down and around his shoulders. Wrapping around him with ease as their hips continued to move together with each other. After awhile she broke the kiss needing air and she whined. “Mmhm I want more.” She said. “Somewhere else.” She murmured looking around. “We have the whole room the door has had it’s time.” She grinned really knowing this was just teasing and taunting a little bit.
Alex: Alex laughed Sophie, letting his head fall against her shoulder for a moment before he picked her up, guiding her legs more around his waist so he could hold her up against him. She was teasing him, but he also wanted to explore, to drag this out and have her in different places that he knew he'd have fun memories of now. Alex backed over towards one of the chairs where he could settle down with her in his lap so she was straddling him.
Sophie: He picked her up with ease and moved around the room before settling on one of the chairs, having her straddle him. "You always have loved me on top." she teased as she shifted and bounced a few times against his cock to tease him. Dragging it out was something more new for them, to just enjoy going around to different areas in the studio to have them all over. It'd be memories for him later, and she was sure he'd torture others with that information later.
Alex: He let out a soft, almost whined moan when she bounced against him, his hands running up her thighs, gripping into their skin lightly. "It's so hot to watch you," he breathed out, licking his lips as he leaned back in the chair a little bit, taking her in, letting his eyes wander over her bare form the way she was straddling him.
Sophie: “Oh is that it, you like watching me on you?” She grinned at the man bouncing a few more times agaisnt his cock with ease. “Tell me how you want me on you. Do you want me to touch myself or do you wanna touch me while I ride you?” She almost said in the most seductive purr to drive him a little crazy.
Alex: "It's the best view," Alex murmured with a smirk, biting down on his lower lip as she moved against him a few more times. "Fuck.. Yes. I want to touch you." He'd watched her touch herself before, and it was hot, but the time of not being intimate left him just wanting his hands on her at all times. As if to prove his point, his hand slid to the inside of her thigh and then up, between her legs.
Sophie: “I’ll keep that in mind.” When he said it was the best view. She knew he had watched her touch herself in the kitchen and probably doing it again was not something his patience could handle. Though he didn’t really wait as she felt his hand slide between her legs and start stroking at her as she started to ride his cock a little harder. “Don’t come okay if you get close tell me so I can stop I want to try prolonging this to see how intense it’ll be.” She breathed.
Alex: As his hand slid between her legs she started moving against him more and he sucked in a breath at the feeling. "So your plan is to tease me?" he asked, smirking as his eyes locked on her, taking her in, the way her long, red hair framed her bare skin, the way she bounced on him so expertly.
Sophie: “Mm tease? No make it more intense.” She breathed. “It’s … delayed gratification.” She offered as an answer. In a way teasing but a teasing to bring them both wonderful orgasms. “I won’t come either if I get close I’ll stop you until I calm down a bit.” She breathed. Which she knew would be a struggle more for Alex since he loved to hear her come again and again.
Alex: "Delayed gratification?“ he repeated, raising his brows a bit. "Oh I’d definitely say it‘s just teasing,” he smirked. His fingers rubbed against her, teasing and taunting a little as she said she was gonna stop before she came too. “Oh fucking hell,” Alex groaned, the sound easily turning into a whine of frustration. “You’re going to torture me,” he joked, sucking in his lower lip to bite down on it before letting go of it again and locking his eyes on Sophie. “Mmh, baby,” he breathed, his free hand gripping at her thigh as she kept bouncing against him, riding him and he could feel the pleasure starting to build up slowly.
Sophie: “Mmm I think it’s more making for an intense orgasm.” She said not that the ones they’ve had in the past weren’t. It was just something different. When he whine she laughed. “It’s not torture I mean I’m denying myself too it’s just for a little bit.” She said as she continued to move up and down against his cock with ease his fingers teasing her clit. “Shit. Shit. Stop.” She stopped moving and grabbed his hand to stop herself from coming on him.
Alex: Alex grunted in dismay when she reached for his hand to stop him, but he wasn’t really mad or disappointed. He knew this could be fun, and intense for sure. Sitting up a little straighter, Alex wrapped his arm around her to tuck her against his chest, bringing his face close to hers so he could steal a short kiss from her lips. “Are you gonna continue moving or is this the cue to move you so I can have you on the couch?” He asked with a smirk.
Sophie: When she stopped him she had to admit it made her body squirm because it wanted that release almost desperately. There was a short kiss as she breathed heavily to get herself to calm down so she wasn’t on the edge of coming. “I’ll move again but when we need to stop again then we can move.” She offered as she started moving her hips again up and down her breathing heavy to keep herself from coming.
Alex: “When we need to stop again,” he repeated with a chuckle and shook his head a little bit. He was tempted to bring his hand between her legs again when she started to move again and he cursed under his breath. His hand slid up her torso, cupping her breast to tease at it a little bit, aware she was sensitive to his touch. “Or you could just come on me,” he husked out, leaning in a bit to murmur into her ears.
Sophie: “Mmm Alex.” There was almost a whine to her voice when his hand slid over her breast teasing at the sensitive skin when he was saying that she could just come on him. “But then when will we have a chance to take me in other places down here?” She whispered back the obvious tightness in her voice obvious she was fighting her own release.

When Jack was first born, you went through a rough time. You were a new mom in a post-apocalyptic world and still trying to get over the betrayal you felt from Joel. You spent many nights at the kitchen table with Maria or Avery, crying or sitting in silence and feeling numb. The hardest nights were when you missed him, because that meant feeling weak and you hated letting yourself feel like you needed him. 
Your task of avoiding him during his stay in Jackson is becoming particularly difficult because of the duckling you seem to have acquired. Ellie trails after you nearly anywhere you and Jack go and Joel has no intention of letting Ellie out of his sight for longer than a few hours. A small part of you is jealous that he seems to see the girl as a daughter when he wouldn’t even accept Jack but you can’t blame her, so you let her tag along while pretending Joel isn’t always hovering in the background like a mother hen. During movie night, you seat Jack with Ellie and go stand in the back with the adults. Brad, one of the men around your age immediately comes over and tries to strike up a conversation with you. He’s nice enough, and not hard on the eyes but you never really let yourself make time for dating. You have your hands full with your kid so you just smile politely but entertain him, listening to him talk about going on patrol but tune him out when he begins bragging about taking out a pack of clickers. You know his story isn’t true because Avery was on the same patrol as him and told you when the clickers showed up, he hid while everyone else took care of it. 
At some point, you can feel a pair of eyes on you and immediately you know who it is without having to look. You’re trying to ignore it but his eyes feel like they’re burning a hole in your head so you turn to look and as you do, he quickly walks out of the building. You don’t know what comes over you, but you excuse yourself from your conversation with Brad and follow Joel outside. He didn’t go far, you find him leaning against the wall near the door a few feet away, arms crossed and deep in thought. It’s close to impossible to sneak up on him unless he’s feeling safe or is with someone he trusts. You’re apparently neither anymore because his head shoots up as soon as you get close.
He stares at you, mouth opening and closes a few times before he looks back at the ground and scuffing his boot in the dirt. You’ve no idea why you even followed him out here in the first place and after a few more seconds of silence, you start to head back inside but his voice stops you just as it did a few nights ago. He still has this invisible hold on you and you can’t understand why.
“Sarah,” he mumbles so quietly you wouldn’t have heard it if it wasn’t silent outside. “Her name was Sarah and she was my entire world and she’s gone.”
Tommy had admitted to you on one of your bad nights while he and Maria were trying to comfort you that Joel had lost a daughter. You’d put two and two together after Tommy made the memorial with Maria’s late son and the name Sarah who you knew was neither of theirs.
“Yeah,” you whisper, hating the ache in your chest you feel for him. You can’t imagine losing Jack but you don’t know if you can accept what he is insinuating. You can hear him walk towards you and you fight the urge to leave because as much as you don’t want to be around him, this is the first time he’s opened up to you. 
“I thought it’d be replacin’ her,” he mumbles and you realize he means Jack. That accepting another child would mean replacing his late daughter. 
You turn around to find him closer than you were expecting and take a step backwards, almost toppling backwards but his arms reach out and catch you. He doesn’t let go immediately, hands firm and steady gripping your arms exactly how you remember. For a moment, neither of you move. It’s as if you’re in a trance and it only breaks when the door flies open and Jack comes running out the door with Ellie chasing after him.
You pull away from Joel, picking up Jack when he reaches for you. 
“Mama! The movie’s over,” he says and then frowns. “You were gone.”
“I came out for some fresh air.”
He grumbles and tucks his face in the crook of your neck. “‘S cold,” 
You’re about to respond when Joel shrugs his thick brown jacket off and drapes it over Jack but it’s big enough that it covers you as well. 
You mumble a quiet thanks, ignoring the curious look Ellie gives you both and bid goodbye to the both of them, promising the girl that you would see her tomorrow. 
Tumblr media
It was inevitable, you realize, sitting at the table listening to Jack tell Joel and Ellie a story you’d told him too often. 
“And-and then the Prince saved the Princess from a huge monster who’s teeth go click click click and then they went to Fred and Bob’s house for dinner!” 
You can feel Joel’s eyes on you the entire time Jack is telling them the story. He’s clearly piecing together that this isn’t just some made up story you told your son but a kid-friendly version of something that happened between you and Joel. It was shortly before you left Boston, Joel and yourself going to Bill and Franks for something. You’d been distracted because it was just after you found out you were pregnant and hadn’t told anyone yet and you turned your back for a split second while you were in the wrong place and nearly torn apart by a clicker. Joel had been furious, saying you needed to be more careful but he couldn’t have been that mad because after lecturing you for ten minutes, he’d pinned you against a tree and kissed you until you couldn’t remember your name.
It was one of the last times he had kissed you before you told him you were pregnant and then left Boston. 
“Quite a story,” Joel says, looking at Jack who proudly smiles at the older man's comment. “Does the Princess have a name?”
Jack gives you a curious look and when you don’t say anything, he shrugs and looks back at Joel.
“Mama never said.” 
Ellie snickers quietly, obviously also realizing that the story is based on actual events. Joel gives her a look but she doesn’t back down despite his glare. She leans towards Jack and grins. 
“Do you have any more stories about the Prince and Princess?” 
Simultaneously, you and Joel both say “no” a little too loudly which earns the two of you some looks. 
“I think it’s time for someone to go to school,” you say, standing up and offering your hand to Jack who grumbles but climbs off his chair and requests to be picked up by you rather than walk. You know you’re probably babying him but he’s growing too quick and soon he won’t want to be carried around by his mom so you’re cherishing every moment. 
You chance a look at Joel before you leave and he’s wearing the softest expression you’ve probably ever seen on him and it makes your stomach do somersaults and cheeks warm. It’s probably a bad idea, no it’s definitely a bad idea but when it comes to Joel Miller, you always made bad choices. 
“You guys can walk with us if you’d like,” you say and Ellie is out of her chair before you even finish the sentence. Joel looks a little more hesitant but he still doesn’t like going far without the girl in his sight so he follows the three of you outside. 
Of course by the time you get to the small school Jackson has, Jack is more than happy to go in and play with his friends. He gives you, Ellie, and a startled Joel hugs before running inside without looking back. You’re grateful that you have a place here where Jack can have as close to a normal childhood one can have in this world. You can’t imagine if you’d stayed in Boston what kind of upbringing he would’ve had. You certainly don’t miss it there, aside from the nights you missed Joel which were far and few in between up until he showed up here. The reason he’s here is still unclear although you have a suspicion Tommy knows more than what he’s told you and even Maria. The length of Joel and Ellie’s stay is also not known. You were expecting them to just need to stop and get supplies before continuing their journey but they’re still here and you have no idea when they’ll be leaving.

You’re not sure what possessed you to invite Joel and Ellie to your little house for dinner but here you are, chopping vegetables to make soup. Jack is still at school and the soup will take time to cook but Ellie insisted on helping you prepare it and Joel said he needed to go see Tommy. It’s kind of nice to have company even if it’s in the form of a fourteen year old. Said fourteen year old has been awfully quiet the past twenty minutes and you can tell she’s wanting to ask you something but is stopping herself. 
“Go ahead,” you eventually say, tired of her silence. 
“Joel is Jack’s dad, isn’t he?” 
You’re so tempted to say no, only for the fact that she obviously looks up to Joel and you don’t know who she would look at as the bad guy. And honestly is the best policy, right?
“Yeah,” you tell her, noticing when her shoulders deflate. 
She’s quiet for another five minutes before asking, “Did Joel tell you to leave?”
You’re quick to answer this question because as wrong as what Joel did was, it was your decision to leave Boston and you don’t want to put some wedge between them.
“No, I left because I wanted a better life for Jack.” It’s not a complete lie, Joel is part of why you left but you really did want a better life for your son than what he would’ve had in Boston. 
“Alright,” she eventually says and then: “Can you pass me another carrot?” 
And that’s that. You both chat about random things, she tells you some terrible puns and you buckle and reluctantly tell her some more stories of when you, Joel and Tess lived in Boston. She tells you that Joel won’t talk about Tess and she feels guilty about her death. You listen quietly, letting her spill out things she must have been holding in knowing Joel didn’t want to hear it. 
“I knew Tess really well,” you tell her. “She wouldn’t have done what she did if she didn’t think it was worth it.” 
Ellie looks at you hesitantly. “Yeah?”
You nod and she smiles a little before asking if she can come with you to pick up Jack, but you tell her that Avery is going to pick him up and drop him here. Since you’ve got some quiet time, you decide to do some cleaning while Ellie goes to the house she and Joel have been staying at to take a shower. 
It’s a couple hours later when there’s a knock on your door and you’re figuring it’s Avery with Jack so when you open the door, you almost drop the broom you’re holding when you see Joel standing in front of you and Jack in his arms. You start to ask why Joel has Jack and where Avery is when you see the woman in question standing at the bottom of the stairs with a sheepish smile on her face. 
“We, uh, ran into Mr. Miller on our way here and Jack insisted that he come with us,” she explains but you can’t stop looking at the duo in front of you. Jack is smiling, arms wrapped around Joel’s neck and telling him a story but Joel is watching you warily, like he’s expecting you to yell or something.
“Hi mama,” Jack says but makes no move to leave Joel’s arms. In fact, he looks very pleased that the older man is carrying him. 
“Hi baby,” you reply, unsure what to do. You don’t want to upset Jack by taking him from Joel but you can’t tell if the latter is uncomfortable. Avery, sensing the tension, smiles brightly and waves awkwardly.
“I gotta go feed Lucy,” she says, already walking backwards. “See ya, Jack!”
Jack shouts goodbye to Avery and you finally snap out of your stupor, stepping back to let Joel walk inside. He toes off his boots and you’re about to offer to take his jacket when you realize he’s not wearing one because you never gave him it back last night. 
“Dinner smells good,” he says, following you to the living room where Jack finally wriggles out of Joel’s arms but only to get a toy to show him. 
“Look Mr. Miller,” the boy says, offering a wooden train that you gave him for his birthday. An older gentleman in the town made it for you after hearing Jack talking about how much he loved looking at pictures of trains. 
“That’s a really nice train,” Joel compliments, sitting down on the couch. Jack immediately climbs up and settles down next to him, chatting about the toy and you watch as Joel listens intently, nodding at the right times and you remember that he’s done this before, it may have been twenty years ago, but he’s dealt with an excited almost five-year-old.
The front door opening and closing tears your attention away from them and you look to find Ellie walking towards you, shrugging off her jacket. She lays it on the rocking chair and then plops down next to Jack, shooting you a small smile. There’s something in her expression that is sadder than when she left and you wonder if something happened since she left but you don’t bother asking her now. Instead, you go set the table and check the soup to make sure it’s done before calling everyone to the kitchen. Jack makes sure his chair is as close to Joel’s as he can get it so he can keep talking to him.
You have heavily conflicted feelings about the relationship growing between them. On one hand, it’s kind of nice that Jack is getting to know his dad, even if he doesn’t know Joel is his father. On the other hand, if you let Jack get too attached to Joel, it’ll break his heart when he and Ellie leave. So, you decide tonight after Jack is gone to bed and Ellie goes home, you’ll sit Joel down and ask him why he’s here and when he’s leaving.
Of course that doesn’t happen because Ellie and Jack pass out on the sofa after reading every children's book you own and you and Joel end up sitting at the table, drinking some liquor Maria had given you that you never got around to drinking. You’re not drunk, but you’re tipsy enough that you feel relaxed around Joel and laugh at whatever he’s saying. It almost feels like Boston, when the days were so long and dark that all you wanted to do was sit and drink with him and eventually wind up in bed together. 
Except now, you’ve got two kids who are sleeping in the living room and no intention of going to bed with him. Well, maybe if you let yourself have a few more glasses and if there weren’t kids in the other room but that’s just the alcohol in your system making you think things you shouldn’t.
“Do you remember when Frank asked how long we’d been dating?” He asks and you snort at the memory. You didn’t know at the time why Frank would even think that since you and Joel had been bickering the entire time you were at dinner, and Tess had to tell the two of you to knock it off multiple times. She had choked on her water when you asked why Frank thought you were dating and he said that it was because the two of you reminded him of Bill and himself.  
“Yeah, Tess nearly choked because she was laughing when we simultaneously shouted no and then Bill caught us making out behind his house,” you say, smiling behind a sip of your drink. He doesn’t react to you saying Tess’s name and just shakes his head with a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. He tilts his head a little so he’s looking at you and not the ceiling. 
“If I thought it covered the pain I caused you, I’d say sorry,” he says quietly and a little broken. 
You look away, swallowing loudly. “Well, sorry would be a start.” 
You don’t say that you’re not sure if you can forgive him, even if he did say sorry. Even if he knelt in front of you and begged, you’re not sure if you could push past the last five years. Every night you spent sobbing into your pillow in Boston while you waited for him to come back after you told him you were pregnant. Every bad night you had here in Jackson, thinking of why he did it.
“I’m sorry,” he whispers softly, like it’s a secret. 
Blinking back tears, you clear your throat and nod. “Thank you.” 
Thank you but I can’t forgive you, goes unsaid. But a little voice in the back of your mind whispers, I can't forgive you yet and you can’t help but believe it a little bit.

First Date with Corbyn consists of
him picking you at 9 in his bmw *iykyk*
going to a carnival
Corbyn trying to win you prizes
He fails but then you win a bear and give it to him to make him feel better
You share a churro
He holds your hand on all the rides
He has his arms wrapped around you the whole time
He gets whiny when he doesn’t want to go on a ride
You force him to anyway
He gives you a lot of kisses
You give him plenty too
He gives you his sweatshirt when it gets really late because you didn’t bring a jacket
Looking up at the stars until you decide to leave
Blasting your favorite songs with the windows down
Corbyn speeding back to your place because you said he could spend the night
Cuddles
So many cuddles
Then you and him fall asleep soundly in each other’s arms
