[ID from alt: natsuyuu fanart of an older teenage matoba seiji and a woman that resembles him in a sharper way posed together in front of the manga portrait of shinobu. both smile and stand professionally, but she stands protectively or obediently behind him with a playfully nefarious vibe]

did the matoba daughter always look like that...?

i dont think MY matoba's new sister who he grew in a pot would uh. hold up very long at this but i think he DOES briefly use her ("her" she barely gets what a woman is lol) as cover in the chaos after shinobu defects and rebelliously changes her image and maybe the more distant exorcists in the community only know that for a while

because. who confronts the matobas. who accuses seiji of having a fake replacement sister he is blatantly parading around

Promisetale_by_Shizuku

In a certain world like Dreamtale but not Dreamtale either.  This place is like paradise, hundreds or thousands of flowers are always blooming in this place.  If you come from other AUs, you will think these flowers are simply two ordinary flowers, but these flowers are cared for and protected by two beings.  These two beings seem to have known and understood their duties from the moment they were born through the light of the flowers.

Sharing is a gentle and quite shy boy who always hides behind Selfish.  But he always feels warm and happy when he is beside Selfish, to him Selfish is like an older brother (these two characters are twins).

As for Selfish, when you hear the name, you think he's a hateful person, right?  But no, he has a kind and warm heart with an elegant, calm appearance, he is very quiet and quite hates noise but Sharing is the exception.  Besides Sharing he feels he needs to be more mature, he sees Sharing as a loving and warm little brother.  Selfish always takes care of Sharing from his clothes to eating and sleeping.

The flowers that they must protect and take care of are Selfish Flowers and Sharing Flowers, Sharing is in charge of taking care of the Sharing Flowers because whenever someone is sad or desperate he cuts a flower for someone who is feeling sad and hopeless. Flowers are like Echo flowers that can make voices, but Sharing Flowers emit words of comfort and encouragement that make others feel energized so everyone loves Sharing and wants to be friends with him.  And Selfish, he is in charge of Selfish Flowers, this flower helps those who feel hate, hate themselves to feel better through the provocative words of flowers that make people feel more effort and effort.  But almost everyone misunderstands the meaning that flowers bring, so they always throw back and say Selfish is bad guy, evil, witch,... many bad words are on his head, making him depressed. And of course Sharing will not know because he was led by everyone to go out leaving Selfish in the middle of a lonely field with so many harsh words.

Sometimes Sharing saw a lot of wounds on Selfish's body, he asked:

_What the matter with you, Selfish?  Sharing bewilderedly asked

Hearing Sharing ask, Selfish's tears seemed to spill out, but he still managed to hold back and proved himself fine:

_No, I'm okay!  I just tripped while taking flowers ... - Selfish smiled wryly.

_Moh ... You are too careless!  - Sharing hug Selfish

Seeing Sharing like that he wanted to hide in his heart more because he was afraid he would make Sharing worry too much, just like that and every day that passed, he was bullied, beaten again and again when Sharing was absent. After each bullied, he held his face and cried painfully ... Alone, alone and lonely with no Sharing beside.

Leaning towards Sharing, everyone loves him, yes, they love him because of his innocence and easily taken advantage of.  And of course, no one wants to be friends with him, they just use him to get the Sharing Flowers.

_Hey Selfish!

_What's matter Sharing?

_Someone invites us to a tea party tomorrow!  Do you want to join?  - Sharing was excited.

_ Um ... I'm not going anywhere ... I'm pretty tired ...

_ Moh ... You should be more sociable!

_ I think ... You shouldn't trust them too much ... - Selfish hugged the book tightly.

_What do you mean !?

- I don't think they are good ... They are using you ...

_You must stop that selfish thought!  - Sharing shouted cut Selfish.

_Sharing ....?!  - Selfish panicked.

_I ... I'm sorry ... Selfish ... - Sharing embraces Selfish.

It seems that Sharing is crying, because he hurt Selfish?  Selfish was also quite surprised because this was the first time he saw Sharing cry.  Not bothered that Sharing hurt him, he patted his head and comforted Sharing.

_No okay ... But promise me one thing ...

_Is what...?

_What is the matter ... Please always be by my side, don't leave me anymore ....- Selfish burst into tears like a child.

Sharing was also extremely surprised, as it was also the first time he saw Selfish cry.

_Ukm!  I promise !  - Sharing hug Selfish.

After that promise, Selfish thought Sharing would fulfill his promise ... But no ... Sharing a little later and his bullying higher and higher might be like L.O.V.E.  His mind grew darker ... A crazy think appeared from his mind.

"I hate you, I hate you Sharing!"

_Are not !  No ... I don't hate Sharing ...- Selfish cries and sobs.

Selfish increasingly depressed, he felt he was no longer himself ... But he still did not blame Sharing but tolerated him because he loved Sharing ... Probably ...

_Oh ... See what this exhausting monster is!  - From far away a stranger is approaching him.

_Who are you ?  - Selfish looks up at the sticky guy.

_How cute!  You reminded me of that disgusting past!  - He strangled Selfish with a tentacle.

_A ... Are you a Nightmare !?

- Surprised?  Your negative emotions excite me!  Want to join my group Bad Guys?

Seeing Nightmare's smirk, Selfish laughed contemptuously.

_Ha ha ha!  Sorry but I want to be a better guy than make a mess like you!

Nightmare was angry at hearing that but he caught his thoughts, and said:

_Then you forgive it?  That promise is broken.

Hit black heart but he still forced a smile to justify.

_Selfish I have always believed in my Sharing!

_Lie !  - The tentacles strangled his tighter_ He abandoned you!  He broke his promise to you! - He grabbed the Soul of Selfish.

_ Get out ... You hateful octopus!

_Let's see - Nightmare leaves.

It seemed he sensed something so he just left like that.  From afar, a group of people brought a variety of tools such as knives, cutters,... to the flower garden.  They looked sure they weren't good people, so Selfish defended a small knife in his body.

_Oh ... Looks like a monster like you is still trying to live too much?

_ Get out of this flower garden now!

They ignored him and proceeded to exploit the Sharing Flowers, seeing that he pulled a knife and stabbed the destroyer in the throat, killing him from blood loss.

_You ... Are you bored of living !?  - They shouted loudly

_I am bored of living!  Come here if you dare!

As for Sharing, he was still happily having tea with his friends, his Soul felt insecure.

_What's the matter, Sharing?

_ I'm okay ... But my brother doesn't seem so well ...

_Do you mind that autistic guy!  Life or death has nothing to do with you, right?

Hearing that, he understood more about Selfish's warning before, he clenched his teeth and frightened eyes and ran towards Selfish.

Selfish is working very hard right now, he alone cannot win against those five tall and muscular men, at first there were 6 but he already killed 1.

_Kill it and go on with your work, fools!

_Wait big brother ! We still have fun with that_ He looked at Selfish with lustful eyes.

Selfish tries to dodge them and runs quickly to where his corpse tries to pull out the knife but unfortunately gets crushed by one of them.  He struggled fiercely and the knife in his hand stabbed them in the stomach of the adulteress, injuring him.  He was trying to get puberty and was hit by someone who was holding a large log and broke a skull in his left eye, causing him great pain.

_That is a fool!  - They trampled you.

_I won't let you guys steal the flower garden!

Then he tried to reach the Sharing Flowers, he only lightly touched the petals and the flowers turned blood red and a little black until scared.

_W... What did you do !?

_I ... I don't know ... It can't be ...

_Kill it !

Luckily Sharing stopped those thugs.

_Do not harm my brother!

_What did you guard him do?  Look at the flower garden that was polluted by him!

_W... What ...- He panic.

_N... No ... Please listen to me Sharing ... I didn't do it on purpose ...

_You shut up!  You are too excessive Selfish ... Flower garden like this ... Not by you, but by whom?  Selfish!

Selfish's heart was broken into a hundred pieces, his heart was torn by thousands of knives, he laughed, a savage laugh.

_Hahaha!  I'm wrong!  I am wrong to trust you Sharing!  You break your promise!  Now dare to blame me !?

Selfish greedily ate those defiled flowers like a hungry devil, feeling great but also extremely painful.  His body gradually became extremely painful, and his eyes and fear of being lost poured out a red-and-black fluid that was as clear as blood and a very disgusting smell like the smell of a corpse that looked disgusting and scary.  Sharing and many people died.  Above him, his Soul turned into a ragged Selfish Flowers.  The sky darkened with blood red, signifying that something bad was about to happen.

Everyone around them ran away in a panic but could not escape the scythe of death due to the petals that Selfish shot.  The wings flowers cut human's neck, pierced the heart, cut the body in half,... A horrifying scene that Sharing thought only appeared in Dreamtale's legend.

_S ... Selfish ...?  - He tried to call his brother's name.

_......

_ Are you still there ...?  Answer me ...

_Shut up !  Shouted Selfish.

_I... I'm sorry ...

_Sorry ?  See what the hell you turned me into !?  You break your promise!  You blame me!

In his out of control rage he manipulated a petal to cut the back of the Sharing's left hand.  Not yet mentally stable, Sharing was crushed by Selfish.

_P ... Pain ... It hurts Selfish ...- Sharing burst into tears.

No matter how painful his brother was, Selfish used the knife he used to crack the Sharing's skull at first.  Sharing screamed in pain, the more he struggled, the more he hurt him.  One shot, he stabbed a powerful knife into his right eye.  Suddenly out of the eye and on the crack of the Sharing skull bloomed a Sharing Flowers different from the rest of which was two colors, the light radiating from the flower immediately pushed Selfish away.

_Wh ...

_Enough, follow me!  - Nightmare tease Selfish.

_Selfish!  Wait !

Sharing knelt helplessly and cried, all surroundings were ruined, corpses were scattered everywhere.  So his Promisetale was destroyed like Dreamtale.

_I'm so tired ... I don't want to continue ...

As if he was able to finish himself, there was a gentle hand on his shoulder with a warm whisper.

_This must be your destiny, follow me together to bring positive energy to the multiverse and bring your brother back!

_ D ... Dream ...?

_Now... Let's go!  - Dream holding Sharing hand pulled away.

_W...Wait Dream...!

The Reason – Horatio X Dani (MC) – #LoveHacks Fanfic

SUMMARY: During a walk, Horatio and Dani (MC) talk about their love lives and can’t hide their feelings anymore.

PAIRING: Horatio X Dani (MC)

RATING: Everyone

WORDS: 1.734

NOTE: Hey! Here’s my entry for ChoicesCreates65 – Non-Canon Couples! When I saw the theme I immediately thought about #LoveHacks and how I wanted Horatio as a LI, but writing it was a bit difficult because I had to deny MC and Mark (who I absolutely love and miss so much) together! So I renamed my MC and used the default name, Dani, and things got easier LOL. I have to say that I really enjoyed writing about this pairing and, who knows, maybe I might write about them again!  English isn’t my native language. I write to practice and learn, so please sorry any mistakes. I hope you like it, and if you do, I’d appreciate if you like/comment/reblog! Tagging @clonedhayden. And also @alanakusumastan who I’m pretty sure is anxious for it!

The Double Tap was about to close for that day. Horatio sent Parker home early and said he could handle things there. The costumers had already gone and he had already set the chairs on the tables. He was outside, lowering the bar door when suddenly someone stopped behind him.

               _Hi, Horatio! – he gasped at the shock, and turned around.

               _Oh, hey, Dani – she was smiling and looking at him.

               _Sorry for scare you, but you were so distracted…

               _No problem, it’s always good to see you – he smiled to her. Horatio still remembered when he saw Dani for the first time, in that same place. He was amazed by her beauty and her outgoing personality. But then he realized she was the famous Dani whom Mark always talked about. The college best friend for whom he probably had feelings. So she was unavailable for him – but you came at a bad time, I just closed the bar.

               _Actually, I didn’t come here for one of your incredible drinks – Dani loved how Horatio worked with the drinks, putting the heart and the passion from inside him, or from someone else, that he could master. She loved how he always knew the right kind of drink every costumer needed – I came here to invite you for a walk with me. Just the two of us.

               _A walk? – he raised an eyebrow. That would be the first time they would hang out just the two of them. Was she saying what he thought she was saying? No, she never demonstrated it before – where?

               _I don’t know, let’s just walk for a while, and then I’ll leave you at home.

               _No way. I’ll leave you at home. A gentleman never could allow a lady to walk alone in a big city like this – they giggled and he thought how her laugh was cute – so, lead the way, Dani.

               _Okay – as they started walking, she linked her arm with his and he was startled again. Often, her intensity could crash with his calm – sometimes Mark and I used to walk like this in college.

               _You must miss this.

               _A lot. I used to joke we’re siblings from different moms. Until today he sees me as a sister.

               _And…you see him like that too?

               _Yes. Sometimes I thought it could be more than a strong friendship, he confessed me he felt the same, but we’re cool with being just BFFs, and nothing more – Horatio couldn’t be hypocritical and say he didn’t like to hear that. And he could understand Mark. Dani was the kind of girl everyone likes to be close. Gorgeous, intelligent, sincere, she had a fantastic ability to charm everyone around her. So falling in love with her wasn’t difficult, he could tell. Horatio just realized he was smiling to himself when he noticed Dani gazing at him and smiling too.

               _So, uh…I haven’t congratulated you yet for winning that award – he dropped the subject before it got worse.

               _Oh, thanks, Horatio! That night was awesome…I was nervous with this award and a decision I had to make, but everything went well.

               _A decision, huh? I don’t know why, but I felt a halo of mystery – he winked and she laughed – something that bothered your heart for a while but now you’re happy with your decision – Dani loved his sensibility. Based on their talks so far, she felt he could read her better than herself sometimes.

               _And I bet you could make a drink based on it.

               _Sounds like a challenge, Dani – he beamed – if you tell me what it was, who knows…

               _Well, it was related to my love life – why she was so determined to talk about it? – I had three potential dates for that night, and I could go steady with one of them. But Mark’s like a brother to me, Leah’s a great friend and an incredible co-worker, and Ben’s a cutie, but I never could see him as more than a friend, you know – Horatio listened carefully. He also noticed how Leah and Ben looked at Dani. She had a bunch of admirers, and he was just one more.

               _So, you had three people wanting you that night, and you chose to be single?

               _Yeah, I know it’s crazy, but I had to be honest with myself and them, of course.

               _I don’t think it’s crazy. Love is an enigmatic strength, Dani. Sometimes you have a reason, and sometimes no. What matters is being honest, exactly like you did – he sighed – and like I did with Tara.

               _Oh, I was about to ask about her – Dani frowned to his sad expression.

               _I wasn’t happy with our relationship. Don’t get me wrong, Tara’s a beautiful human being, inside and out, but we just…didn’t work as a couple. She’s so amazing, she understood my side and also said she wouldn’t want to be with someone who didn’t love her.

               _ Sometimes you have a reason, and sometimes no, right? – Dani nudged Horatio. They shared a giggle and looked at each other’s eyes for a while, then she saw they reached a bridge – I’ve discovered here’s a good place to stop and think when I’m stressed or upset– she let out his arm, but took his hand and guided him to the grid. He felt a chill in his stomach again.

               _I can see why – they leaned slightly on the grid and admired a privileged view of the city of San Francisco, the buildings, the streets, the lights and the sound of the nightlife – when you come in a place like that, your problems seem nothing to the greatness of the universe.

               _Exactly! – Dani faced him, smiling broadly, and Horatio smiled back – I knew you’d understand! Only a person with this poetic soul like yours could see it!

               _Oh, Dani, you’re so sweet – Horatio was interrupted by Dani, who took his face between her hands and brought him down to a kiss. He was caught off guard, but was taken by the sensation of her lips against his and responded eagerly, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer. After a long, breathless kiss, he pulled back, still trying to figure out what just happened.

               _There was a reason why I said no to them that day – she caressed his cheek – it’s you, Horatio.

               _W-what? – he looked quizzically at her.

               _I’ve been feeling this way for some time. But I just recognized it when I came here to think in that decision. And when I was admiring this place, I realized that you would be the only one who would share this opinion with me. There was also a reason for me to bring you here, the place where I realized I was in love with you – Dani smiled slightly, but frowned when Horatio said nothing, an unreadable expression on his face – uh, Horatio, now might be a good time for you to say something – she knew it was risky, and the fear of hearing a no haunted her.

               _Sorry, Dani, but…wow, I can’t believe you feel the same – he finally grinned and her face lightened up.

               _Really?

               _Yeah. I can’t take you off my mind since I met you, but I knew Mark liked you too, and then Leah and Ben, I didn’t want to be just another one disputing your heart, and I thought you always saw me as a friend. And then Tara appeared in my life, and I tried to focus on someone I knew who liked me, but I didn’t like her in the same way, so… - he took her hands – you’re the reason I broke up with Tara, Dani. I’m also in love with you – she jumped and put her arms around his neck, and he hugged her, laughing and lifting her off the floor – yeah, I’m also happy to know that you correspond to my feelings.

               _I know! – she kissed him again and he put her back on the floor – but why did you take so long to tell me that?

               _I didn’t want to screw my friendship with Mark. He talked about you a lot, and when I finally met you in person, I could see why he liked you so much – he kissed her cheek – but he’s one of my best friends, I didn’t want to get in his way. Actually, I don’t know what he would think about us together.

               _As I said, we have a brother-sister friendship, and he also considers you a great friend, so I’m pretty sure he’d be happy for us – Dani hit his chest playfully – and you want it? Us together?

               _This’s what you want too, right? Now that I know how you feel, I don’t want to waste a second away from you, Dani – Horatio leaned in and caught her lips again, slowly and tenderly – and I think this waiting increased my desire for you – he kissed her again, longer this time – because I can’t stop kissing you – she smiled against his lips.

               _I love seeing how passionate and decided you are, Horatio. And of course I want to be with you – they couldn’t stop smiling, and he rested his forehead on hers, holding her hands.

               _You’re also a passionate woman, Dani, who puts your soul in everything you do. That’s one of the things I admire about you – she giggled, kissing him quickly, before he deepened the kiss again – I still can’t believe in it, I must be dreaming. No, this’s better than a dream, because it’s real.

               _I know. I was afraid you wouldn’t feel the same, but I needed to say it, or I would explode – she moved closer to him and encircled his waist with her arms, and he wrapped her around as well. She melted against his embrace while he kissed the top of her head – can we stay here forever, boyfriend? – he chuckled.

               _We can stay here for as long as you want. I also want to enjoy this moment with you, girlfriend – she grinned and tightened her arms. They remained there for a few moments feeling their warmth contrasting with the cold night air – Dani?

               _Yeah?

               _I love you – she tilted her head to face him.

               _I love you too, Horatio – he spread kisses all over her face before press his lips on hers one more time. At that moment, there was nothing in the world but themselves and happiness.

Arriving late – Mark X Renata (MC) Fanfic

SUMMARY: After a work day, both Mark and Renata (MC) have surprises for each other.

PAIRING: Mark X Renata (MC)

RATING: Teen

WORDS: 2.278

NOTE: Hey guys! This is my first fanfic with Mark and my MC Renata, from Love Hacks. I started to write this a month ago, but I lost the ideas, and then I got inspired to finish after reading Our Own Way by @mrswalkerwrites . I have plans to write another fanfics with happenings before this story, too, and they’ll be posted, of course! English isn’t my native language. I write to practice and learn, so please sorry any mistakes. I hope you like it!

It was already for her to come home, Mark thought, walking side to side in the living room. The delay only increased his nervousness. He had rehearsed all his lines with Cole the day before, and that day, too, during work, he remembered the lines again and again in his mind. The little box was in his pocket, but he was still uncertain if it would work. What if he can’t say anything to her? What if he screws up everything? What if she say “no”? Mark tried to calm down, but it was difficult, and the longer she took to appear, the worse it got.

               Renata was still sat in her car, on the parking of the lab, the test results in her hands. She couldn’t believe that was true. A bittersweet feeling took care of her. She and Mark have been dating for three years and living together since their first anniversary. She loved him more than everything and she knew he loved her too. Although that were great news, and she couldn’t think of anyone else to live that moment with her, that would be also a big adjustment in their lives, would they be prepared? Would Mark like to know that, or would he say that was craziness? The only way to know was going home. Renata started the car and headed to their apartment, her heart beating fast in her chest. In the elevator, she decided to hide the test on her purse and prepare Mark before. When Mark heard the sound of her keys in the door, he felt a chill in his stomach, and stood up when she entered in the living room.

               _Oh, hi, Mark! – Renata startled when she saw him standing in the middle of the apartment, looking at her – you…you were waiting for me?

               _Hi, Nata – Mark leaned down to kiss her after she threw her bag on the couch and closed the door – I was worried, you took too long to get home today – he thought he would be more calm when she arrived, but it seemed he got more anxious.

               _Yeah, I know – she hesitated a while before face him, and she could see the eagerness in his eyes – looks like you want to say something to me?

               _Well, I was about to ask the same – he could see the tension in her expression, too – is this have anything to do with your delay? – he arched one eyebrow and she nodded.

               _In fact…yes. But…go ahead, you first.

               _Hey, why me? – he widened his eyes, and she look at him, like what she said was obvious.

               _Why not? I guessed first you wanted to talk to me, isn’t it fair?

               _No way! You are almost one hour late – he crossed his arms, serious – spit it out, Renata.

               _Come on, Mark! It’s not my fault!

               _Oh, so you won’t have problems to explain, right? – he frowned – do you wanna another reason? Ladies first – he stared at her, still waiting her explanation. She rolled her eyes.

               _Let’s let luck decide – she motioned her hands to rock-paper-scissors – what do you say, Collins? – he sighed, frustrated, but approached her.

               _Fine, let’s do this – they hid their hands on their backs and suddenly showed them. Renata put scissors and Mark put rock – I won! – he giggled and she rolled her eyes again – let it out, come on.

               _Ugh, I can’t believe I lost the game I purposed! – she sighed – okay, well, do you remember four nights before, when I was sick, I threw up and we thought it was because of that fish taco?

               _Of course – he smiled – and I promised we’d never order that again.

               _Well, I was suspicious that wasn’t the reason, since I threw up again the day after, and I was feeling more sleepy than the normal. So I decided to go to lab and make a blood test, and… - she bit her lips – it wasn’t the taco – his eyes trailed to her purse. When Renata threw her bag on the couch, the zipper was open, and the envelope appeared a little, revealing it was from the lab. Mark was agape, and took her hands.

               _Oh…oh, my god, Renata, don’t tell me you have a…serious illness? – his face clouded over with concern.

               _What? – she frowned to his first thought – no, Mark, is not it!

               _Babe, you don’t have to hide anything from me, you know I love you and I’ll always be there for you, no matter what…

               _I know, Mark…

               _I’m strong, I can handle anything, please don’t hide this from me!

               _Yeah, and I’m trying to tell you…

               _You know you can trust me, since we were friends before dating – he interrupted her again, and she was getting anxious, trying to tell him the truth.

               _Mark…

               _We’ll go through this together, we can…

               _MARK, I’M PREGNANT! – she shouted, and he finally stop talking, and look at her eyes, processing what he just heard.

               _W-what? – he stammered.

               _Actually, it was Leah who noticed I was sleepy, at that same day, and I confessed I was feeling my clothes tighter. When she gazed at me, knowingly, I realized what it could be. We immediately went to a drugstore and bought one of each pregnancy test in there, just to be sure. And of course, some bottles of water. I’ve never peed so much in my life…all of them were positive. But I still wanted more, and I went to the lab to a blood test, and I was late because I didn’t believe it was true… - he listened in silence, an unreadable expression on his face. She became nervous again – I must confess I’d never imagined this reaction of you…you concluded I was sick… - she stared at him, scared – are you hating the idea? Do you think it’s madness? – it was his turn to interrupt her.

               _Wait, please, let’s stop with hasty conclusions, mine have been enough – he smiled – and what I have to say proves I’m totally okay with this – he took her hands again – Renata, you’re not just my girlfriend, you’re my best friend, my confidante, my life mate, you’re my favorite person in the world. All this time since you arrived here in San Francisco was the best of my life, and it get even better when we started to date – he inhaled deeply – I know we’re already living together, so technically we don’t need this, but I feel we could take the next step, especially now, after what you told me – he kneeled on one knee, and she put her hands on her face, widening her eyes and opening her mouth, as if she already knew what he would said next – Renata, you’re the woman of my life, and I can’t imagine another person to live  with me for the rest of my days. Will you marry me? – he picked the little velvet box on his back pocket and opened it in front of her, revealing a gorgeous golden ring with a stunning diamond. He waited anxiously for some seconds that seemed years for her answer.

               _Yes, Mark! – she started to cry – of course I want to marry you! –she kneeled too, to hug him tightly. When they pulled back and faced each other, their eyes were wet by tears of joy, and a wide grin on their mouths – I love you, Mark Collins, I love you so much…

               _I love you too, Renata Santorini – they leaned in for a passionate kiss, and he took her hand to put the ring. She lifted her hand a little to contemplate the jewel – soon, Renata Collins – he giggled and kissed her cheek, and she smiled sweetly, standing up, but instead to follow her, he lifted her blouse to kiss her belly – hey you, I still don’t know if you’re a boy or a girl, but daddy already loves you so much – she chuckled, still crying, and caressed his hair with one hand and her belly with the other.

               _Mommy loves you too – he finally stood up and kissed her again, taking her to the couch – I’m so happy you’re on board, Mark. This is going to be a huge change in our lives… - she snuggled beside him, and he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

               _Hey, did you think I would run away and left you and the baby? And then I have absurd ideas about it – he tickled her playfully, and they giggled.

               _No, I mean…I don’t know, I was kind of confused when I saw all those tests…I should have known you would be excited to know you’re going to be a father – he kissed her forehead – and you don’t even know pregnancy symptoms, I think we both make a couple of last resorts, I hope our baby survive in our hands – they laughed.

               _We don’t have any experience about taking care of babies, but I’m sure we can work together to learn and make the right things. I think we can be great parents – she lifted her head a little to kiss him.

               _I’m sure our friends would love to help us, I can imagine their reactions when we told them! Only Leah knows, but I didn’t tell her about the lab test – she picked the test on her purse and gave to him. He looked at it still don’t believing that was true, a huge smile across his face.

               _Oh, we should tell soon, I mean, Brooke won’t like to know she was the last to know about something so important.

               _Yeah, she’ll be the first person I’m going to tell it – she looked at her ring again – so, I’m guessing Cole‘s the only one who knows about it?

               _How do you know?

               _Come on, Mark, this is the kind of situation you’d ask him to help – she winked and he giggled.

               _Yep, actually, he helped me to rehearse what I would say to you, but it wasn’t what I planned, I just…left the emotion flow, and said everything you mean to me.

               _And it was amazing – she turned to face him, smiling – I feel the same way, Mark. I’ve never been so happy since you became my boyfriend, and you’re the love of my life too – she caressed her belly – I wouldn’t want somebody else to share this adventure with me – he caressed her belly too.

               _You know, I always saw you as a modern young woman, the type who doesn’t dream with the traditions, like marriage, kids, constituting a family…I was afraid you’d say no, but when you told me we’ll have a baby, I knew I’d do to the right thing. And, interestingly, this subject never came up between us.

               _These things never were my dreams, but it doesn’t mean that if it happened one day, I wouldn’t like the idea – she caressed his cheek – I’m damn glad it was with you, Mark.

               _Me too – he grinned before kiss her deeply – and how about the wedding? Do you mind wear your wedding dress with a pregnant belly?

               _Mmm…no. But we don’t have to wait that much, huh? – she winked.

               _Fine by me – he laughed – speaking of Brooke, I bet she’ll love to help to organize the ceremony, and with her help, everything will be ready pretty soon.

               _You’re right – she sighed – but I’ll call her later. Now I’m starving!

               _Oh, we need to take care of it! You’re eating for two, now! – he pulled back, standing up. She joined him, laughing – what do you want to eat? Are you already craving for something?

               _Now that you mentioned, yes – she grinned – fish tacos! – they laughed out loud.

               _Nata, our baby better get used to it. The fish tacos are directly related to the discovery of his coming. Or her coming, I don’t know. I’m so excited and eager at the same time! – he hugged her again, and she laughed – hey, we need to find a place to live! – he pulled back, scratching his head – I don’t want our baby being raised in an apartment! Children need space to run and play, and need animals, too! Oh, but we don’t have money! We have to buy so many things, diapers, clothes, toys, a cradle, a stroller… and beyond all this, we also need to look for a house which… - Renata put a finger on his mouth, shutting him up, smiling. Mark stared at her, his blue eyes widened.

               _We’ll have plenty time to see this after. We can stay at our apartment while we save some money. Let’s establish a goal: how about we set a maximum date for the buy of the house for…until our baby’s second birthday? He or she still will be little, and can live here without problem. Sounds good? – he nodded, her finger still on his mouth. He kissed it and she took her hand off his face.

               _Sounds good – Mark smiled – sorry, I got carried away again. Thank god I have you to put me down back to earth.

_I regret so much to doubt your joy for this news – Renata looped her arms around his neck and kissed him – Mark, I didn’t know it was possible, but I think I love you even more now.

               _I believe you, because I feel the same. Everything will be fine, since we have each other, like we always did since we were just two college students – they shared a smile before another kiss, and headed to the restaurant where they ate the fish tacos that day. They were holding hands, squeezing tightly as prove they will always be there for each other, and ready to start a new chapter in their lives.
