interview with jason and tim (pre-relationship reveal)
INT: So, Tim, I heard that you actually auditioned to be the Red Hood first, is that true?
Tim laughs before answering: Yeah. Yeah, that's true. I went in and read for Hood and I could tell- immediately I could tell it wasn't what they were looking for.
Jason laughs, Tim laughs again with him before continuing: But they didn't tell me to stop so I just kept going. And when I was done and it was time for me to leave they asked me to hold on a minute and did this thing where the entire casting panel just like huddled together, whispering and covering their mouths with their hands-
INT: While you were still in the room?
TIM: While I was still in the room! And they do this for like, a full minute, and I'm just standing there? Like? Are you guys serious? What's happening? But I just keep standing there and finally someone nods and they all scoot back to their seats.
INT: I'm on the edge of my seat, I can't imagine how you were feeling.
TIM: Mostly just confused, honestly. (Tim laughs again.) But the casting director just goes, "Look, I'm going to level with you. That wasn't what we had pictured, at all. But it was fantastic- and we have a different part we want you to read for."
INT: So they had you come back to do Red Robin?
TIM: They actually had me read it right then? It was wild, you know, I've been doing this a long time and I've never had a casting director just throw me a new part right there on the spot- they always just reschedule you when they think they might want you for a different part.
INT: But you got it right then!
TIM: I did! I didn't walk out with it, obviously, but they were pretty clear that they wanted to see me read for it again. It worked out pretty well, and I've gotta say, I think the casting for all the parts was pretty spot-on. Most of us are actually quite similar to our characters.
INT: What do you think, Jason? Are you all like your characters?
JASON: There are definitely some similarities- Damian can be a little uptight and Bruce definitely acts like everyone's mentor when we need it- But Tim isn't like Red Robin.
INT: He's not?
Tim looks questioningly at Jason, who just laughs.
JASON: Nah, he's not that smart.
Tim laughs and reaches out to shove at Jason's arm, not moving him an inch.
TIM: You a**.

[ Kakashi x Reader ]
Tumblr media
Tags : NSFW, Smut
Words : 4.8k
A/n: I wrote over 4k words just to get some dick.
Okay sbsbajash idk I'd been working on this for like a whole week and i couldn't concentrate on anything unless i finished this lmao so here it is whatever, I can't drag this around anymore. Uhhh hope you like it I'm still not very good at writing smut im sorry. This takes place in the post Anbu and pre team 7 era and Kakashi’s a bit of an asshole but you know you still love him. This is also a little similar to my other fic ‘Yearning’ but here you get the s e x and i’m sorry if the characterization is bad, i put more focus on making it hot i guess ok ill shut up now i hope you like it
You give the sheet of paper in your hand one final glance, and look around the room. There’s a long line behind you and you’re surrounded by your fellow jounins, each here to submit their respective lists.
You were extremely happy with the performance of your team and didn’t have to think twice before passing them. You had no doubt that they would make wonderful shinobi. You looked forward to teaching and guiding them, and judging by the chatter around you, most other jounins had passed their teams too.
The trouble, however, remains with Kakashi Hatake.
A few weeks ago, you had all been named squad leaders and put in charge of a squad, and today was your very first day with your assigned teams. As instructed, each of you conducted a test for the genin and depending upon whether they passed or failed, the final list would be announced.
No one till date had ever passed Kakashi Hatake's infamous test, and everyone was sure that no one would this year either. Most genin trembled in fear of him, being aware of his strict methods.
And as it happens, at this moment, this infamous man is right in front you, standing with his back hunched forward as he hands his paper in to the woman behind the desk.
You wait for your turn, your eyes fixating on the red symbol on his vest as you wonder, ruefully, about the fate of the students he must have failed this time.
You take a step forward as he turns around, having submitted his paper, and the line moves up behind you.
Kakashi peeks briefly at your paper as he passes, letting out an audible scoff at the list in your hand before walking on ahead, hands tucked in his pockets.
You’re momentarily confused by this sudden act, but something is already starting to boil up inside you. You aren’t exactly known for being placid, nor for sitting by and allowing people to give you crap. Your eyebrows furrow as you hastily thrust your sheet onto the desk, before making your way to follow after him.
“Do you have a problem?” you call to his back as a few heads turn towards you.
He stops, taking his time turning back to look at you, half lidded eyes looking as indifferent as always.
His demeanour pushes you further to the edge and you take a few steps closer, craning your neck to meet his eyes, waiting for an answer.
“Well?”
He peers down at you unfazed, completely oblivious to the audience around you, as if they are not even there.
“You’re too soft”, he shrugs. “You don’t know how the shinobi world works” he says bluntly, piercing you with his unwavering gaze.
You glare back at him, your mouth twitching with the sled of retorts forming at the back of your tongue.
“Who gave you the right to—"
But he’s already turning away from you, your eyes meeting with the red symbol of his vest once again.
“Hey don’t you fucking walk away from me!” you yell, going forward to stop him, but he saunters on ahead without turning back; his scent lingering in the air as you stand there, watching his figure disappear slowly along the hallway, your fury seething inside you.
Who the fuck does he think he is?
--------------------------------------------------
 “Thank you! This is just what I needed.” you chime, digging into the hot bowl of ramen in front of you, your mouth salivating just at the look of it.
You take a big mouthful, revelling in the immediate burst of flavours on your tongue.
“Mmmm.” You moan, “You’ve outdone yourself, Ayame!”
The young girl smiles at you in delight, proceeding to serve you another helping.
You take another blissful bite, closing your eyes to relish the moment.
The streets are quiet around you except for the faint chirp of crickets, as is expected at this hour of the night. It must be past midnight by now, you’re not exactly sure.
You had been tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. For some reason, the encounter with Kakashi from earlier today had you feeling bitter and edgy. You hated that he was in your head, you didn’t understand why. It wasn’t like you to be this bothered by some mindless comments from someone. You’d had altercations before, worse ones, but they were never enough to steal away your night’s sleep.
And yet, this time…
You had to do something to take the edge off, ideally punch him in the face, but since that was not the plausible choice, you settled for the next best thing. Going for a run and treating yourself to your favourite comfort food later.  
So here you are now, out at night all by yourself. The Ichiraku shop was still open, bless the lords.
You slurp some of the soup from the bowl and let out a loud smack of your lips.
You can feel your spirits lifting, and you’re glad for it. He wasn’t in your head after all, you were just having a bad day, that’s all.
You shift your focus back to the bowl in front of you, moaning and slurping as you go.
“Whoa there, Get a room.”
The sudden interruption of the familiar voice makes you stop cold.
Are you fucking kidding me?
You look up from your bowl, turning your head around to see none other than Kakashi Hatake, standing smug in all his glory.
The strange pang of bitterness is back in the depths of your stomach and you resist the urge to punch that smug look off his face.
“Ah, if it isn’t Kakashi Hatake, the all-knowing wisenheimer.” you say, your tone snide. “Say, don’t you have somewhere else to be? Some genin to fail?”
He comes around to take a seat on the stool beside you, a smirk evident through his mask, almost as if he’s enjoying this.
“I’ve already failed them” he smiles sweetly at you. “Worked up quite an appetite too.” He says, looking away from you to place his order.
You notice as Ayame notes his order down, the distinct shade of pink that tinges her cheeks as does, before turning away and disappearing into the supplies room at the back of the shop.
Ugh. What is with this guy? Why is it so….
You don’t realise you’re staring at him until he looks back at you, raising a questioning eyebrow. You supress your startlement at being caught, pretending as if you’d meant to be glaring at him.
“What the hell are you even doing out here so late?” you spurt, trying to sound irritated but it comes out sounding almost…concerned?
Thankfully, he doesn’t notice. “I could ask you the same.”
You look away, unwilling to answer. You were out here to get him out of your head, and now here you are, sitting beside him in a ramen shop while the entire village sleeps.
It almost feels like you’re the only two people in the world. The feeling makes something churn inside your stomach.
You dab your mouth with your napkin, before swivelling on the stool to face him. You look at him intently, studying his features. He stares back at you, as if waiting for you to say something.
“Why?” you ask, catching him off guard with it.
“Why what?”
“Why does no one pass your test? What’s so difficult about it?” you ask, gaze fixated on him. You expect him to look uncomfortable but he just shrugs.
“Why do you want to know?”
“I’m curious” you reply truthfully, watching him smirk at your answer.  
You hate it when he smirks, how his face looks when he’s being cocky.
Ugh.
He swivels in his chair now, turning his body towards you. “Is that so?”, he says through the smirk, resting his elbow on the counter and leaning in.
You don’t know why, but something about his tone and the way he leans in makes it difficult for you to breathe all of a sudden.
But you’re not one to be fazed.
“Yes” you reply, refusing to let yourself crumple under his gaze. Your voice comes out sounding hoarse, and you clear your throat.
He smirks wider at your reply and stretches the next words out.
“If you’re so curious…Why don’t you find out for yourself?”
Your heart thuds like clapper clanging against a bell. You resist the urge to gulp.
Was it this hot when I left the house?
You clear your throat again. “I don’t have the time to take part in your stupid games”
The smirk is adamant on his lips, his gaze unnerving.
He breathes, “Do you not have the time…or do you not have the balls?”
His tone is challenging. Or inviting. Or both, you’re not really sure, you’re not thinking straight anymore.
Your jacket is too hot against your skin, you writhe beneath the thick material.
Sliding off the stool, you walk slowly towards him, erasing the space in between you bit by bit with each step, until your bodies are a few inches away from touching. Your eyes bore into each other’s as if in silent battle. It’s your turn to smirk now.
“Training Grounds in 20 mins” you whisper. Despite the hitch in your breath, your voice is clear. “Don’t be late.”
You walk past him without breaking your gaze, brushing your shoulder against his arm as you walk by, perhaps a little harder than necessary, leaving Kakashi to stare after you.
--------------------------------------------------
You sit on the damp grass with your back against a tree, waiting. Your jacket lies in a puddle beside you.
You count the weapons in your bag, you hadn’t exactly come out prepared for a fight tonight. Two kunai knives, that’s all.
Would that be enough to take down the copy ninja? You hope so. There’s no way you’re letting him win. It’s time someone taught him a lesson and you would love to be that someone. The nerve of him…to actually challenge you.
He really needs to get a life. But then, here you are too…
Why am I here? What am I even doing?
You close your eyes and tilt your head back against the hard bark, your eyebrows furrowing the way they always do when you’re deep in thought.
Back at the shop… the way he spoke…the look in his eyes— God, Stop. Stop it.
Who the fuck cares about the look in his eyes?
Not me.
It’s okay. I’m good.
We’re here to teach this asshole a lesson. An asshole, that’s what he is. Insufferable and stupid and smug and ridiculously ho— horrible. Ridiculously horrible.
You take a deep breath, opening your eyes and standing up so fast that it makes your head dizzy for a brief second. You start walking around, jerking your arms and legs, stretching your neck, even slapping yourself a few times on the face to make yourself focus.
Yes, I need to focus. The lack of sleep is getting to me.
You crouch down to tighten your shoelaces, before getting up and starting some stretching exercises. Gotta loosen the muscles, make sure you have full flexibility. After all, taking on Kakashi Hatake all by yourself is probably not going to be a piece of cake.
You look down to check your attire: running shorts and a tank top, not fully ideal but it’ll do.
You’re bent over, in the midst of doing rotating toe touches when your eyes fall upon a silhouette far ahead, nearing closer and closer. You pause, standing up straight with your hands on your hips as the figure walks slowly towards you, a faint jingling noise ringing through the air, as Kakashi finally comes near enough for you to make out his face in the dim light.
“Late as always” you say, crossing your arms over your chest.
Kakashi stands a few feet away from you, holding something in one hand, other hand inside his pocket. He’s not wearing his jacket anymore either, you observe.
“Sorry, had to go get this” he says, holding up what looks like two small bells with strings attached.
You squint at it, coming closer to get a better look. “What the hell is that?”
“Bells”, he smiles. “That’s the test. You have to get these bells from me. You can use any attack you want but… since you’re not a genin, I’ll raise the stakes a little higher for you. You cannot use ninjutsu or genjustu. It has to be purely physical attacks. You have till dawn.”
This little fucker. He knows taijutsu is not my strong point.
But fine. If that’s how he wants to play this, so be it. I’m taking him down one way or another.
“Dawn?” you chuckle, fixing him with your gaze. “I don’t need till dawn” you sneer, coming forward with a kick aimed to his head. He blocks it just as you’re about to make contact, grasping your ankle in his strong hold.
“I didn’t say start yet” he says through a smirk, letting go of your foot.
You take a few steps backwards, glowering at him as he ties the bells to a loop on his trousers. They hang over his thighs with a jingle, silver metal glimmering in the moonlight.
He looks back up at you, eyes twinkling with an unusual sparkle.
There’s that look again…
“Go” he commands, his body tensing up into a defensive stance immediately, ready for you.
You fix your gaze on the shiny metal of your goal and hurl yourself forward, your arms meeting each other’s in blows and defences. You throw a few kicks to his stomach, making him tumble but not enough to knock him out.
You shift your stance, before directing another punch to his face; he deflects it, sniggering.
Okay okay okay, I’m not focusing. I need to focus.
You take a deep breath.
Kakashi stands waiting, his features emanating pure amusement.
You feel a restlessness brewing within you, a strange energy buzzing through your veins. You’d been itching to punch him in the face and now’s your chance.
You watch him, mentally calculating all your options. His silver hair shines like moonbeams in the dark.
FOCUS.
Drawing a kunai from your bag, you lunge forward, distracting him with a kick to the head as your kunai slashes through the air, just about to cut across the strings when— your hand is caught in his grasp, a ‘slap!’ cutting through the air as his palm clasps around your wrist.
He bores into you, your wrist held firmly in his hand as he turns you around swiftly, gripping both your wrists at the back.
You feel the muscles of his chest against your body as he comes closer, the metal bells hanging over his leg brushing against your fingertips behind you.
You wriggle your hands, trying to break free but it’s in vain. His grip is firm, slender fingers digging into your skin as he leans into your ears, his warm breath tickling your skin.
“Not so fast” he whispers, his lips almost brushing the top of your ears.
The words send a shudder through your spine. You feel the black sky closing in on you, there’s a hum springing through your veins.
He loosens his grip as your hands fall, the kunai held limply in your hand. You turn around, your heart skipping a beat at how close he is to you. You feel your resolve weakening.
No.
No.
Stop.
Your hand flies to the collar of his shirt, the other hand holding the kunai to his throat as you push him backwards with your body, your eyes blazing into his.  
Keeping the kunai at his throat, you lower your other hand slowly, brushing it down his chest, his muscles taut under your hand. You trail your hand down along the line of his sternum, down the firmness of his stomach and further down, your fingers lightly caressing the bulge of his trousers before they almost make contact with the bells alongside, right there, just a flick away—
so close—
Before your wrist is caught in a sudden, fast clutch again.
His grip is much stronger this time, unyielding, hungry. Your bones ache beneath his hold.  
You watch something ignite in his eyes as his shoulders rise and fall in rhythm to your heaves. You suddenly realise how out of breath you are.
In the flash of a moment, Kakashi grips your kunai holding hand, holding it away from his throat as he pushes you, the weight of his body pressing onto yours as your feet scrape along the ground, stumbling backwards till your back slams against a tree, the force making your body jolt. The kunai slips from your hand.
His arms pin you defenceless against the tree, his gaze holding you hostage, burning through your skin.
The touch of his skin against yours feels alien. When was the last time you felt the warmth of someone’s skin? You cannot recall.
He’s so close to you, you cannot see anything beyond him.
In the dark, under the moonlight, the edges of his face look softened.
A wind passes by, the sound of rustling leaves filling through the silence. A volcano erupts within you.
Now.
You gulp. Up this close, you can make out the outline of his mouth.
Now.
Your lips press into Kakashi’s in a desperate lurch, your neck straining to meet him as far as his grip on you allows. Your heart explodes like firecrackers inside your chest as your tongue pushes against the cloth of his mask, demanding to be let in.
You feel his grip loosen around your wrists as the mask is off and he reciprocates, his lips on yours, his hand gripping your chin up as his tongue moves in fervent swirls inside your mouth.
A thousand questions swarm inside your head, buzzing but you’re not being controlled by your head anymore. You can feel the thud of his chest against your own.
He trails his hand down to your throat, holding you in place, other hand exploring every edge and curve of your body before it snakes down the waistband of your shorts, down the elastic of your underwear.
You gasp, arching your back as you feel the touch of his long fingers down there, moaning helplessly into his mouth as he rubs along your wet entrance in rapid strokes.
Your head is a dizzy mess of jumbled emotions as yearning overpowers your senses, your previous resolve weakening into a mushy puddle with every stroke and thrum of his fingers inside you.
He pulls away from your mouth to leave sloppy kisses down your neck, his tongue painting patterns along your skin as you catch a glimpse of his face and you see it— his face, glowing under the moonlight. And you realise.
He’s…beautiful.
An overwhelming ache breaks through your senses, creating a frenzied whirlwind of passion and agony in your mind. Your detestation for him crumbles into pieces underneath the weight of your desire, as you realise…
You don’t hate him.
You never did.
Not even close.
Not even a little bit.
Not even at all.
You pull his face up to meet your lips again, planting urgent kisses on his mouth as your hands tease the hem of his shirt. His fingers slip out of you and you can feel the wetness of your panties, soaked through with arousal.
“Kakashi…” you whisper in pleasure as he looms over you, your foreheads touching, out of breath and heaving with exhilaration. His eyes burn with the same passion that you feel inside.
“We can’t…shouldn’t…here…people...” you mutter in struggled breaths, as he plants another kiss to your lips, the sparks from it fogging your mind
“Since when do you care about people?” he whispers against your ear, his raspy voice enough to strip you off of all your remaining sense and judgement.
You pull his shirt over his head in one swift motion, throwing it to the ground beside as he follows, taking off your shirt and then unhooking your bra, tossing both away as his hands reach for you in hungry clutches.
His hands caress your breasts, pressing them and pulling on your hardened nipples, his mouth following soon after. His lips lock around them, sucking hard as you bury your face into his broad shoulders, biting lightly to keep yourself from screaming.
You sink your fingers into his hair, tugging softly as his mouth moves in a wet trail further down your body, strands of his hair tickling your stomach as he goes, his hands tugging your panties, sliding them down the curves of your hips.
Your heart thuds in your ears as Kakashi sits crouching in front of you, parting your legs. He looks up at you, as if asking for your permission, and you give it to him by pulling the back of his head closer between your legs.
He puts your right leg over his shoulder, spreading you for him, his other hand clutching the back of your left thigh as his mouth teases you down there.
The tip of his tongue flicks at your entrance, before it finds your weakest spot, and you feel your body shuddering, barely able to keep your balance.
You tug at his hair harder as his tongue moves skilfully inside you, fingers rubbing your swollen clit simultaneously. You feel every nerve ending in your body come alive as you moan out his name “K-Kakashi…” through trembling lips.
Your insides shudder and a deep moan forms at the back of your throat, threatening to escape as Kakashi puts his hand over your mouth, before pulling you down on top of him with a sudden tug.  
You come down with a thud on his thighs, your body jolting with the force as you watch him in front of you, the copy ninja… bare bodied and heaving in front of your eyes.
Who would have thought…
You straddle him, admiring his unclad torso, before pushing his shoulders down with your hands, making him lie back on the grass as you stoop over him. His eyes are fixated on you, pure pleasure making itself known on his face.
He really is beautiful.
You bend forward, your mouth exploring the smoothness of the skin on his chest, as a strange cold feeling down there distracts you.
You look down, squinting in the dark to find yourself sitting on two glimmering metal balls placed over his thigh.
The bells.
A thrill runs through your nerves as you smirk, glancing up at him.
He’s noticed it too.
His eyes return the same sparkle of mischief as yours as he lies still, waiting.
You press your hands down on his chest, locking your gaze with his as you position yourself over the bells, tilting your head back as you move back and forth over them.
The cold metal of the bells rubs against you, sending tremors through your entire body.
Your gaze at Kakashi again, watching him squirm at the sight of you, his hands twitching to feel your skin.
You keep your eyes on him as you slide down slightly on his thigh, tugging his trousers down as you go. Your hands find the base of his cock as you allow yourself to admire his throbbing length.
He leans his head back on the grass and you feel him getting harder in your hands.
Forming your hand into a fist around him, you move it up and down along his shaft in slow steady strokes, leaning down to bring your mouth closer to his tip, before swirling your tongue in circles around his skin.
His hips tremble as he clutches onto the grass, writhing.
Your lips clasp around his cock, mouth slurping up and down his length, taking your time sliding down to the base and back up, your hands following suit.
You tease him, switching between the tip of your tongue and your whole mouth, sending sparks of pleasure shooting through him.
He quivers and you sit back up, bending forward over his face and pressing your lips on his. A groan from his mouth erupts inside yours as he clutches your hips.
His hands guide your hips back and forth over his length, your lips trembling as he slips into you, his cock finally inside you, pushing into you, filling you as deep as you can be filled.
A new rush of pleasure burns through your senses, your insides stretching as you move your hips around him, back and forth and then in circles.
“A-a-ah...mm…yeah…”, your muffled moans cut through the depths of the forest in the silence of the night.
Kakashi breathes your name, the eruption of your name from his lips enough to send you to a frenzy, filling your heart with drunken fervour.
You moan his name back in reply, hopping up and down on him as his arm snakes behind your waist and he flips you over in a sudden, swift movement, the weight of his body falling over you now.
You arch your back, pushing your hips up to meet his, unwilling to break away even for a second.
You want him so, so bad.
The pointy peaks of grass underneath poke your skin, your nails digging into his back as he nibbles on your neck, thrusting deep, deep into you.
You feel the familiar shudder from earlier again, your mind getting clouded with waves of pleasure coursing through you. Kakashi’s grunts quaver in your ear as you feel his hips jerk in tune to yours.
There’s a tantalizing jolt of ecstasy through your body as you scream out, your quivering voice matching his grunts as you both put a hand over the other’s mouth, your muffled moans melting into each other’s skin. He quivers inside you for a final time before you feel him slipping out of you, as hot wet cum trickles along the insides of your thighs, dripping into the dewy grass beneath.
Droplets of sweat from his hair drips down on you, tasting salty in your mouth. You heave together in exhaustion as he plops down on you, before rolling to the side.
You lie on your back panting, your entire body damp with sweat.
Languor threatens to take over you as you struggle to keep your eyes open, looking up into the night sky.
You see a firefly glowing above your head. You lift a lazy hand to reach it, but it flies away far above, becoming one with the twinkling stars in the sky.
Soft sounds of Kakashi’s breath echo beside you, his foot still touching yours lightly as the both of you lie heaving under the stars.
He turns his head to look at you and you can feel his eyes on you as you try, with all the fibres in your body, to not look back at him.
You know you won’t be able to hold yourself together any longer if you do.
He extends a hand towards you. “That was…”
“Sshhh… Shut up” you say in a slumberous whisper, moving closer into his arm, putting your own around him, your head buried into chest as you feel your eyes getting heavy…not able to stay awake anymore. You feel Kakashi envelope you in his arms, the warmth from his skin against the cold air lulling you to sleep, your mind becoming foggy as you close your eyes, slowly drifting off somewhere far, far away…
--------------------------------------------------
Your eyes open to the chirping of birds perched on the branches above, rays of morning light casting a rosy glow in the horizon.
You watch the half light in the distance, rubbing your eyes, smiling to yourself.
The night had taken with it the black clouds of denial fogging your mind, your heart is as clear as day now.
You turn your head just in time to see Kakashi opening his eyes, his eyes puffy, imprints of grass marking his soft cheek.
You smile at him as he looks at you, lips curled into a sleepy smile. “Good morning” he yawns, tapping over his mouth with his palm.
“I won.”
“Hmm?” he asks groggily, eyes still adjusting to the light.
You hold up the two small bells in front of him, they jingle over his face.
He chuckles. “I don’t think so. It’s past dawn”
“I took them off before. I won.”
He laughs again, his face lighting up in a way you’d never seen before. He looks even more beautiful in the daylight.
“In all fairness y/n, there are no losers here.”
You laugh along with him now, reaching across and smoothening the imprints on his cheek, keeping your hand there, cupping his cheek.
“So, I passed?” you ask, looking at him, inching closer.
He looks back at you, with the same look from earlier in his eyes.
But you’re not turning yourself blind to it anymore.
“Top of the class” he laughs, pulling you closer, nuzzling your nose with his before pressing his lips into yours.

When I Wake up (Liam x Riley)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Liam x MC
Word Count: 1,864
Masterlist
 ASK IF YOU WANT TAGGED! SORRY IF I MISSED ANYONE!
I always notice every single spelling mistake or issue after I’ve posted…so apologies in advance! 
Tags aren’t working so I will be tagging in the comments.
He watched her from doorframe of their bedroom, as she applied the finishing touches to her make up.
Anyone else would be annoyed at the fact that they were supposed to leave ten minutes earlier…but he didn’t care…he could watch his wife for hours. The way her blonde curls fell down her back…the way her smile lit up a room, the way her eyes shined when she laughed.
Riley smiled in the mirror as she noticed him watching her, causing him to return the gesture.
“Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!!”
Liam chuckled as he turned to face the hallway, he crouched to the floor, catching their eldest daughter in his arms as she ran towards him, in her pjs all ready for bed.
“hey baby girl” he laughed as he stood to his feet. The 5-year-old wrapped her little arms around him, cuddling into his shoulder.
“will you be out long daddy?” she yawned
“no, I promise, we’ll be home before midnight” he chuckled “aunty Hana’s going to be here, if you need anything, and mommy and daddy are just a phone call away, alright?”
“okay daddy” she whispered, “why don’t we get you to bed and ill tuck you in?” he asked.
Delilah nodded tiredly. “alright, let’s say goodnight to mommy” Liam smiled as he took her over to Riley who turned in her seat to see the two of them properly. “hey babygirl, are you going to bed?” she asked with a smile. Delilah nodded with a smile as she leaned over to give Riley a kiss.
“goodnight baby girl”
“goodnight mommy, I love you”
“I love you too, sweetheart” Riley smiled as she watched the two head out of the room.
Liam carried her to her bedroom, quietly opening the door making sure not to way the sleeping two-year-old on the opposite side of the room. Once he reached Delilah’s bed, he put her down, then pulled her duvet back. she climbed into bed before Liam pulled the duvet back over her, making sure she was all tucked in. He sat himself down beside her, he placed her favourite teddy bear beside her, then leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her head.
“goodnight daddy…” she whispered
“goodnight sweetheart, I love you”
“I love you too daddy”
Liam quietly stood from the bed as Delilah lay falling asleep, then made his way back down to the bedroom.
Just a short few minutes later, the two were ready and heading down to the front doors. When Riley seen Liam's car sitting waiting for them, instead of their usual SUV she smirked “you’re driving?”
“that I am, the only person I want to spend our anniversary with is you, I don’t want security hanging around us all the time” he smirked the two headed for the car, hand in hand. Once they were set to go, they headed out, with Bastian following not far behind. Sadly, for them, they were spending their Six Year wedding anniversary at a charity ball. Any other ball and they would have found some king of excuse as to why they couldn’t attend but the two knew, if they didn’t, they would feel awful as it was for charity. Once they arrived, they didn’t get peace, everyone wanted to speak with them. shortly after everyone arrived, everyone was seated, and food was served. As soon as the dinner was over, and the band filled the room, Liam reached his hand out to Riley as he stood from his chair. “my I have the first dance, with the most beautiful woman in the room?” he asked with a grin.
“why of course, she wouldn’t want to dance with anyone else” Riley stood to her feet as she took Liam's hand. They walked over to the dance floor where Liam placed his right hand on Riley's lower back as she placed her left one on his, he took her right and in his left as he held her close, holding her hand up to his chest.
“I’m sorry we have to spend our anniversary like this…I wish we could have just spent time together, just me and you” he whispered leaning his mouth close to her ear.
“I don’t care where we are…as long as I get to spend it with you by my side” she smiled “I love you, Liam…more than anything” she looked up at him with a smile
“I love you too, sweetie…so much” Liam whispered as he leaned down placing the sweetest kiss on Riley's lips.
It was hitting ten pm when Riley approached Liam with two glasses of champagne. She smirked as she leaned in to whisper in his ear “you know…I seen a private balcony through those doors, the view looks magnificent” Liam smirked as he placed his hand on her lower back, then they headed across to the doors. As they stepped out onto the balcony, Liam closed the doors behind them. he moved over to where Riley stood at the railing, looking out at the view of capitol skyline. He placed his hands on her waist, placing a kiss on her bare shoulder. She turned around with a smile, handing him one of the glasses. Liam lifted his glass “a toast,” Riley lifted hers with a nod “the last six years have been the best of my life, I wouldn’t want to spend my life with anyone else, sweetheart. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else…but here with you. I love you with all my heart and I can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together.”
“for goodness sake Liam…why do you do this to me every time” Riley smirked as she sniffled and wiped the tears falling down her face. “I love you so much…and I can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together either…you and our girls…are my world and I wouldn’t want it any other way…over the last six years, you have made me the happiest woman in the world” she whispered with a smile, the two slinked glasses, then took a sip before Liam placed his glass down on the small accent table beside them, he placed his hands gently on Riley's cheeks, then leaned in, placing his lips on hers, they both moved in sync, Riley's arms making their way to the back of his neck where her fingers laced through his hair.
“Mmmm…” Riley carefully pulled back with a smirk “don’t start something we can’t finish”
“don’t tempt me…I will” Liam chuckled as he moved his arms to wrap around her waist. “just wait till we get home” he whispered as he leaned in and placed a quick peck on Riley's lips.
Not long after the two heading back inside. “do you think we could sneak out early?” Riley whispered
“I think it could be arranged” Liam smirked as he squeezed her hand “I’ll let Bastian know”
“Okay, I’m going to run to the bathroom first” she pecked Liam's lips then headed out of the room
Once Liam informed Bastian they would be leaving, he went to find Riley.
As he walked out of the hall and into the corridor, he smiled as he seen her just leaving the bathroom. She smiled when she seen him waiting for her, knowing she was going home to lie in his arms. Liam was caught with a start as a bang was heard, not seeing anyone around, he didn’t think anything of it, Riley gasped then stopped in her tracks.
“Riley what’s wrong?” he asked confused why she had stopped. Her face dropped as her hands went to her stomach…Liam looked to her stomach, then his heart stopped…blood everywhere.
“Riley!!” he quickly made his way to her, just as she started to fall forward, he fell to his knees just catching her before she hit the ground. The tears fell from his eyes “BASTIAN!!!” he called…but no one came.
“it’s alright sweetie…everything’s going to be alright…everything’s going to be okay” he cried as he pulled his blazer off, bunching it up and pressing it to the wound. “where is he???” he asked himself when Bastian hadn’t come running straight away.
“Li-am” she gasped as her glassy eyes gripped his hand.
“I’m right here sweetie, you’re going to be alright, I promise” he cried
“BASTIAN!!!!!” he called again…no reply. Infact…he couldn’t hear anyone…there was no music…no sound from the hall…where was everyone?
“Li-am…i-i...I ca-nt b-bre-athe” Riley gasped
“shh shhh shhh it’s alright, just try and take steady breathes sweetheart, I’m gonna get you to the hospital…” Liam frantically searched his pocket for his phone…nothing. He had it just minutes before…come to think of it…he couldn’t find anything…his phone…his keys…everything was gone.
“BASTIAN!!!!” he called again, his heart breaking.
“Li-am…i-i…ne-ed to g-et h-elp” he could see, her skin gong paler by the second. His hands were covered in blood, his blazer was saturated. His hands shook as he tried to hold as much pressure on the wound as possible.
“Li-am….” Riley gasped as she raised her frail shaking hand, placing it on his cheek, covering it in blood.
“I-I lo-ve you Li-am…”
His heart broke as he watched the love of his life slowly slipping away from him.
“I love you so much…I love you so so much, I’m gonna get you help, I promise” his voice shook as he held her as tight as he could.
“I-it’s too la-te” her voice wavered as her eyes slowly started to shut.
“no, Riley! come on…you gotta stay awake for me, you gotta keep your eyes opened…don’t leave me Riley…don’t-” his heart dropped as he felt her take her last breath in his arms. he broke down as he held her in his arms. “I’m sorry Riley…I’m so sorry…I’m so sorry” he cried, his hands running over her hair, as he placed kisses on her head.
“Liam” he swore he could hear her voice.
“Liam” …Again…
“Liam!”
Liam jumped up, into an upright position from lying down, his breathing heavy, his body felt like it was on fire.
“Liam sweetie…are you okay?” she asked from her side of the bed, where she sat with the blanket held up to her chest to cover herself.
“w-what happened? Are you alright…? are you hurt?” he panicked
“am I okay? I’m fine sweetie, did you have a nightmare?” she asked as she wiggled over to sit closer to him, he wrapped his arms around her
“I swear it was real” he whispered as he wiped his wet cheeks.
“you’re all sticky” she whispered, “do you want to talk about it?”
“no, thank you…I just…I need a shower…I’m all sweaty” he whispered as he moved from the bed and headed for their en-suite.
It was about ten minutes later Liam walked back into the bedroom, he pulled on some fresh underwear, then climbed into bed. As he lay down, Riley turned over to face him. She placed a gentle hand on his cheek.
“you sure you’re okay?” she asked him
“I will be…I just…it felt so real…you were hurt…and I couldn’t help you” he whispered
“I’m alright Liam…”
“I know…it just felt real”
“I love you so much” Riley smiled
“I love you too”

 ASK IF YOU WANT TAGGED! OR UNTAGGED!
I SINCERELLY APPOLOGISE IF I MISSED ANYONE, IM TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF WHO WANTS TAGGED AND STUFF, IM GONNA PUT A POST OUT TO SEE WHO WANTS TO BE PERMANENTLY TAGGED!
I always notice every single spelling mistake or issue after I’ve posted…so apologies in advance! 
  It was Riley and Liam's first Christmas together, Liam was currently away but was due home that evening…the evening of Christmas eve. Riley had spent the day before making sure all the work that needed done for the next two days was finished, she wanted so much for them to be able to have their first Christmas with as little disruption as possible. It was just after two, Riley was sitting on the bed, carefully packing Liam's Christmas eve box. She had spent the morning wrapping the presents she had gotten him as she sang along to her favourite Christmas songs. Riley had grown up with the tradition of Christmas eve boxes. Her family done it like secret Santa so whomever you got, you had to make them a box for Christmas eve, the box containing a couple of early gifts to get everyone looking forward to Santa coming. Riley was a huge Christmas celebrated. Riley loved everything about it: The music, the chill, the snow, the decorations, the time you got to spend with your family and friends. 
Riley had wrapped the bottom of the box in Christmas wrapping paper, she had all of Liam's little gifts sitting around her, she started filling the box with everything she knew he would love…and even if he didn’t, he would tell her he did. She didn’t mind. The first thing to go into the box was the cheesiest Christmas jumper she could fine. She knew he would hate it, but he would also wear it, for her. The next thing was some new Christmas pjs, red tartan pants and just a plain white t shirt with a Christmas tree on it as Riley placed them in the box she sang along to her stereo.
“I really can't stay” Riley sang then let singer finish   *but baby, it's cold outside* “I've got to go away” *but baby, it's cold outside*
“This evening has been” *been hoping that you'd drop in* “So very nice”     *I’ll hold your hands, they're just like ice*
“My mother will start to worry” *beautiful what's your hurry? * “My father will be pacing the floor” *listen to the fireplace roar*
“So really I'd better scurry” *beautiful please don't hurry* “But maybe just a half a drink more” *put some records on while I pour*
 After that she placed the best Christmas movie she knew inside the box…Elf. She knew Liam hadn’t seen it before. After the DVD was put in, the next was a personalised Christmas bauble that she had gotten made for their first Christmas together. The box was topped off with a box of Liam's favourite Chocolate liqueurs. Once everything was in, she placed the lid on-top then wrapped the box in ribbon. Adding a name tag at the end.
Once she was finished she headed for the living room, where she placed the box under the tree.
“Ahhh but baby its cold outside!!!” Riley sang to herself as she headed for the kitchen where she started on her Christmas cookie recipe. it was whilst she was waiting on them baking, as she was washing the dished, that her phone started ringing. Riley smirked knowing exactly who it was, she wiped her hands on her jeans then lifted her phone to her ear after pressing answer.
“hey sweetie” she could hear him smiling
“hey! How was your meeting?”
“it was great, we got the deal, but the best part about it? I’m on my way home”
“really? You’re on your way?”
“yeah, I’m just about to board the plane, I should be home in time for dinner”
“really? I thought I was going to have to eat alone!” she chuckled
“not tonight sweetie!”
“I have the best evening planned”
“you do?”
“Mhmmm just you and me, we can forget about everything else and just be married”
“that sounds amazing, I can’t wait”
“me either”
“listen, I have to go, but my flights due to land at five pm so I should be back at the palace for half past”
“okay, have a safe flight and I’ll see you soon”
“see you soon sweetie, I love you”
“I love you too, Liam.”
After the two hung up, Riley carried on with washing the dishes she had used, whilst singing to herself
“They're singing "Deck the Halls But it's not like Christmas at all ‘Cause I remember when you were here And all the fun we had last year Pretty lights on the tree I'm watching them shine You should be here with me Baby please come home”
After removing the cookies from the oven, she set them on the side to cool then she went to shower. By the time Riley had showered and dressed Liam would have just been landing at the airport.
“it’s absolutely freezing in here…” Riley mumbled as she pulled her Christmas jumper over her t shirt “but I love it!” She smirked
Whilst Riley waited for Liam to get back she moved the cookies from the tray and placed them on a plate, ready to be decorated. Riley was just heading to the living room, walking past the hallway to the door, when the door opened, and she was met with her husband’s handsome face.
“hey!” she smiled as she ran over and hugged him, Liam dropped his bag on the floor and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her in for a sweet kiss.
“hey sweetie!” he mumbled into her lips.
“don’t you look nice and warm” he smiled as they separated “it’s absolutely freezing out there!”
“I know, it’s so cold, your freezing! Come on, let’s get warmed up a bit” Riley smiled as they headed for the kitchen where she flicked the kettle on then pulled some mugs from the cupboard.
“tea, coffee or hot chocolate?” Riley asked as she turned her back to Liam who was sitting at the island…with the cookies. Liam had a devilish grin on his face as he reached over to get one.
“you touch those cookies ill cut your fingers off” Riley chuckled, she knew exactly what he was like.
“just one?”
“fine…you can have one!”
“thank you! And ill have some hot cocoa…please” as he took a bite of the cookie. “Mmmm”
Just a few minutes later Riley placed a mug in-front of him and held her own in her hands.
“thank you” Liam smiled as he lifted the mug to his lips. “Ahhh I needed that” he smirked
The two were sitting in the living room chatting, with the fire burning to keep the place warm. “I have a gift for you!” Riley chuckled as she got up from the sofa and went over to the Christmas tree.
“a gift? riley-”
“don’t even say it!” she laughed as she lifted two box’s and made her way back over to Liam.
“it’s a Christmas eve box” she smiled as she passed Liam his box
“a what?” he smirked
“a Christmas eve box…it was a tradition in my house, that each person got a Christmas eve box, it’s filled with things that get you all excited about Christmas” she giggled
“but I didn’t get you a Christmas eve box” he frowned
“but that’s okay because I got me one” she smirked as she lifted the second box to show him causing Liam to laugh.
“go on open it!”
Liam carefully unwrapped the ribbon from the box, then lifted the lid.
“mmm my favourite” Liam smiled as he lifted the box of chocolates and placed them on the table. “we can destroy those later” he chuckled then he went quiet as he lifted the bauble from the box.
“Riley, I love it!” he whispered longingly as he stood and hung it on the tree then he sat back down, placing the box on his knee, looking at what was next…
“Elf?” he asked
“It’s based in New York” she informed him
“it is?”
“yup!”
“well then we have to watch it!” he laughed as he put it on-top of the box of chocolates.
“what’s this?” he asked as he lifted the pjs.
“Christmas jammies” Riley grinned. Liam couldn’t help but adore how much she loved the holidays. “I need you warm, so you can keep me warm” she giggled causing Liam to let out chuckle.
“is that a jumper?”
“Mhmmm…your very own cheesy Christmas jumper” she smirked
“I love it” he laughed “thank you sweetheart” he leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss on her lips.
“now…what would you like for dinner? I was thinking maybe we could get take out?”
“that sounds great, I’ll have Bastian send someone out” Liam replied as he got up and went to the door. whilst they waited for their food they went to change into their new nightwear. Then headed for the kitchen where they started decorating the cookies Riley had made.
“did you ever get to do this when you were a kid?” Riley asked
“yes, when my mother was alive, we would make cookies and she and I would sit and decorate them together, then we would wrap them out and hand them out to the palace staff, Leo never wanted to do anything like that and my father was always in meetings and everything, so it was just me and her. All of this…the decorations…the cookies, just all of this” he gestured to around the room “it all reminds me of her…you’re a lot like my mother in that way, she adored the holidays, it wasn’t the presents, it was the time you spent with your family, even if you were just watching a movie or something, you were together. after my mother died, my father buried himself even more in his work, Leo was nowhere to be found, I was on my own, I didn’t get to decorate cookies and put up decorations. Getting to do all of this again…it makes me think of her” he smiled then leaned over and pressed his lips against Riley's. “thank you” he whispered “my mother would have loved you” he smirked “I just wish you had gotten the chance to meet her”
“me too sweetie, I love hearing stories about her, I think we would have been joined at the hip” she chuckled “I can’t wait to have children and share all of this with them too”
“I can’t wait” he grinned
It was six thirty by the time their food was brought to them, whilst Riley put the DVD on the TV Liam poured the two of them drinks then brought them to the sitting room. they both cuddled up on the sofa whilst they ate their food and watched the movie.
It was about twenty minutes into the movie. Riley grinned as she dropped her slice of pizza back into the box “I love this song!!!! I wish I knew how…to break this spell!!” she sang along causing Liam to chuckle.
“I really can’t stay…Ahhh but its cold outside!!”
“this is one of my favourite movies!” she grinned as she carried on eating.
“I can tell” Liam chuckled
After the movie finished Riley turned to Liam with a huge grin on her face… “so…what did you think?”
“it was good” Liam smirked
“tell the truth…you loved it!” she chuckled
“okay…it was a great film”
“I knew it! would you like some mulled wine?”
“that sounds lovely” he nodded
“come on then, you better help me make it”
The two headed for the kitchen where Riley taught Liam how to make her mother’s famous mulled wine.
“my goodness Riley, it smells amazing”
“It smells like Christmas” she smiled as she carefully ladled the wine into mugs, then the two headed into the living room where they sat on the sofa, the only light in the room being the fireplace. They sipped on their drinks as they talked, whilst the radio played softly in the background.
“so, tell me…what was the best gift you ever got for Christmas?” Liam asked
“when I was little, I was always loved cooking, I was always asking to help my mom in the kitchen, we would bake cookies, cupcakes, she would let me help her with dinner, I loved it, I told my mom, when I’m older, I wanna cook like you. My mom, she was an amazing cook, when she was a kid she was diagnosed with dysgraphia, which means she struggled to write properly, she couldn’t form sentences on paper, actually writing was a real problem for her, when she was talking, it was fine but getting it onto paper was really difficult for her, she wouldn’t write cards, she wouldn’t write letters or email… when I was about twelve, I woke up on Christmas morning, my mom handed me this box, when I opened it, there was this book inside, when I opened it, it contained just a plain notebook…I opened it, and…I’m sorry” Riley wiped at her eyes
“it’s okay, take your time” Liam smiled comfortingly
“in the book, she had written down, every one of her recipes…thirty two A4 pages…she had hand written, she told me he had been working on it for months, she could only do a couple of sentences at a time because of how much her dysgraphia affected her…that is the best gift I ever got, I still have it.” she smiled
“wow” Liam whispered, speechless from her story.
“homemade gifts are the best kind…they mean so much more…it means the person actually sat down and put thought into your gift…they took time out of their life to think about you... I would take a home-made gift over a purchased one, any day of the week”
“me too” Liam smirked.
The two spent the rest of the night laughing and talking away, it was just before midnight, when Liam stood from the sofa.
“I’ll be back in a moment, I need to use the bathroom” Liam kissed Riley's head then left the room, heading for the bathroom.
Riley stood from the sofa, walking over to the window, she smiled as she watched the snow fall outside. it was just a few moments later that she heard Liam's footsteps, his arms snaking around her waist, with his chin resting gently on her shoulder.
“penny for your thoughts?” Liam whispered
“I can’t wait to have a family with you…I can already see us sitting around the tree on Christmas mornings, our babies ripping the paper from the presents, too excited to even think about the mess” she chuckled “their faces when they see the presents Santa left them…the excitement…I can see it all” she smiled as she gently turned and looked at him.
“you know what? so can I” Liam whispered as he leaned down and placed the most loving gentle kiss on her lips. “I love you Riley, more than you know” he added in the same tone
“I love you too, Liam” she whispered before leaning in to peck his lips.
“Bells will be ringing, the glad, glad news…”
“I love this song” Riley whispered just audible
“dance with me” Liam smirked as they moved to the middle of the floor, the two swayed as one as the music played softly.
“Friends and relations send salutations Just as sure as the stars shine above (Yes, they do) This is Christmas, Christmas my dear The time of year to be with the one that you love”
Liam smirked as he looked at the clock on the wall.
“Merry Christmas, baby” he whispered before slowly pressing his lips to her, she quickly responded, with her hand gently placed on his jaw, for what felt like hours their lips moved in sync. As they gently pulled back Riley nuzzled into his chest with their arms wrapped tightly around each other.
“Merry Christmas, Baby” Riley whispered.
If you like it...Give it a wee Reblog <3

 ASK IF YOU WANT TAGGED! OR UNTAGGED!
I SINCERELLY APPOLOGISE IF I MISSED ANYONE, IM TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF WHO WANTS TAGGED AND STUFF, IM GONNA PUT A POST OUT TO SEE WHO WANTS TO BE PERMANENTLY TAGGED!
I always notice every single spelling mistake or issue after I’ve posted…so apologies in advance! 
for the record, I have never been pregnant, I have never given birth, so I’m just trying to go by what I have read online and the sort of thing that happened to my sister when she was pregnant, apologies if I got anything wrong <3 
It was three am when Liam was jolted awake from a noise coming from the baby’s nursery. With half-awake eyes he looked to the space beside him to see…nothing…no Riley. He climbed from the bed, making his way towards the nursery. as he reached the room, he seen her, trying to bend down and pick up the lamp that had fallen from the small table beside the rocking chair. As he looked around the room he seen drawers open, clothes pulled out on top of it, nappies that were boxed and waiting to be put on the shelf of the changing unit, were all over the top of the changing table,
“what are you doing?” he mumbled still half asleep, tying not go get blinded by the light from the room. He walked over and gently placed his hand on her arm as she went to bend down again but couldn’t quiet reach it. “ill get it” he lifted the lamp, placing it in its rightful place on the side table.
“why are you up sweetheart?” he asked as he stood in front of her, his hand gently grazing her cheek
“I have to make sure everything’s perfect.” She panicked as she looked around the room “I have to fix her clothes…I have to-”
“hey, it’s alright, we can do it in the morning, everything will be perfect I promise”
“it can’t wait Liam, I have to fix it” she mumbled as she made her way over to the chest of drawers and started folding the baby’s clothes. Liam quickly followed, placing his hand gently on Riley's back.
“Sweetheart, will you please come to bed?”
“but-”
“but, nothing, I know your just trying to get everything perfect, I promise, we can do it tomorrow, you and I will fix it in the morning, will you please come back to bed?” he whispered softly
“promise?”
“I promise” a soft smile found itself on Liam's face, as he gently took the baby grow from Riley's hand and placed it on top of the dresser.
“okay” she nodded as he walked her back to bed, with his left hand on her back and her right hand in his.
“did I wake you?” a just barely audible whisper left her mouth
“No, you didn’t wake me, sweetheart” Liam knew if he told Riley she had woke him up, she would beat herself up about it.
“why are you lying?” she frowned “just tell me I can handle it”
“sweetie, it wasn’t you”
“yes, it was, I can read you like a book, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you”
“It’s okay, sweetie” he placed a kiss on her head then helped her into bed before getting back into bed himself. The whole room was silent, so Liam assumed Riley had fallen asleep, it was a short fifteen minutes later that he heard her whisper
“Liam,” she wriggled over to cuddle him
“yeah sweetie?” his arms instinctively wrapped around her.
“I can’t sleep, I’m uncomfortable”
“is she awake?”
“yeah, and she’s on the move”
“let me see what I can do” Liam whispered as he pulled the duvet back a little, he moved down on the bed so that he could get to Riley's stomach. He gently pressed his lips to her skin then whispered
“hey princess, its daddy, I know you want to play, but your mother really needs to rest before you get here, so I’m gonna need you to calm down a little bit, I promise, as soon as you make an appearance, we can play all the games you want, but right now your mother needs some sleep.” Liam looked up to Riley's to see she was falling asleep, he smirked to himself, he carefully moved back to where he was lying. “goodnight, my love” he whispered before placing a kiss on Riley's head.
“goodnight” she whispered back.
The next morning, Riley awoke with an abundance of energy.  She awoke to Liam cuddling into her back. she thought back to the time when they couldn’t sleep in the same room, when they were barely able to spend more than fifteen minutes together…now, here they were, lying, cuddled up in bed, ready to bring their first baby into the world. With a smile on her face, she gently moved Liam's hand careful not to wake him, she climbed form the bed and headed for the bathroom, then the kitchen. she tried to be as quiet as she possibly could, as to not wake Liam, plenty of times, over the past nine months she had him up in the middle of the night, be it getting food for her, times when she couldn’t sleep…wriggling around in the bed, trying to get comfortable. She wanted to let him sleep for as long as possible, his only meeting for the day wasn’t until three pm so he didn’t need to be up anytime soon. she started pulling pans and ingredients from the cupboards. She was going to wake him to his favourite breakfast, blueberry pancakes. Every chance he got, he would have blueberry pancakes. He had once told her that his mother used to make them for him before she passed, she made sure the staff had the recipe, so that when she was out of the country, he could still have them. After her passing, Liam would have them as often as he could, reminding him of his mother’s cooking. By the time Riley and Liam were married, she had gotten her hands on the recipe. it was about fifteen minutes later that Riley had two plates stacked with fluffy blueberry pancakes, covered with a warm blueberry sauce. Riley placed the two plates on a tray along with two cups of hot tea, then carried it carefully to the bedroom. She placed the tray on Liam's bedside table, then gently leaned down, placing a kiss on his lips.
“Liam, honey, wake up” Riley whispered, Liam mumbled then shuffled around a little.
“I know you can hear me, Liam” she smirked as she watched him flicker his eyes open.
“Mmmm morning, sweetie” he smirked as he stretched, before placing his hand gently on the back of her neck and leaning up to press his lips to hers.
“morning, I have something for you”
“you do?”
“Mhmmm, it’s on your bedside table” she smirked as he turned to look, and a grin found itself on his face.
“is that what I think it is?”
“Mhmmm, only the best for my very patient husband”
“I love you. Do you know that?” Liam pushed himself up to sit with his back against the headrest
“of course, I love you too”
Riley carefully picked the tray up and placed it on Liam's lap before moving round to her side and climbing back into bed, she took her plate from the tray and placed it on her knee then they quickly got stuck in.
“how is my beautiful little girl treating you today?”
“she’s been great, she’s been pretty calm this morning”
“good, I can’t believe she’s going to be here anytime in the next few weeks, it’s crazy.”
“I know right, I’m so excited to meet her!”
“me too, I can’t wait to finally have her in our arms”
“I’m a little scared though” Riley whispered, Liam placed his fork onto the plate, as he looked over at Riley a little worried.
“talk to me, what’s up?” he asked as he took her hand in his.
“I’m just…I’m scared about the whole pushing a human being out of me…it can be dangerous…I mean…what if I get too tired to push and something happens to the baby…or to me”
“hey, I’m going to be with you, the whole time, there are going to be a gazillion doctors there just to keep you safe”
“a gazillion…really?” she chuckled at his over exaggeration
“I would have every doctor in the world in that room to make sure you and our daughter will be safe” he reassured Riley with a squeeze of her hand.
“and that’s why I love you so damn much” she smirked
“really?” he replied as he carried on eating “I thought it was my charming smile”
“that too” she leaned over and placed her lips on his.
After the two finished their food, they got up, showered and dressed. They had fixed everything in the nursery that needed put away, Riley stopped Liam before he could leave the room.
“I need your help with something”
“of course, what’s up?” he asked as he made his way over to her, Riley lifted a box from atop the chest of drawers.
“the baby wrap came yesterday…we need to make sure we can put it on right.” Liam smirked and nodded his head “okay”. Riley opened the box, passing Liam the instructions of how to put it on, she knew he would want to examine it word for word, whereas Riley would try it herself first. After failing on multiple attempts, she finally gave in and looked at the directions on the paper, “I give up…what does it say?” she groaned
“you gotta fold it in half length ways” Liam chuckled as he watched his wife trying to wrap herself up.
“okay…what next?”
“wrap it around your stomach, at the back, cross the two sides over and pull them over your shoulders”
“like this?”
“yes, just like that…you gotta tuck it under the part you wrapped around your stomach, so just pull both parts underneath, crossing them over as you do it, once you’ve done that, pull them around you and tie the two ends together, if you have extra fabric pull around to the front and tie it instead.”
Liam helped Riley tie the fabric behind her, due to her bump being so big she wouldn’t even contemplate tying it in the front.
“how does it feel?”
“it feels okay, I mean…obviously we won’t be able to tell until she’s here, and we can put her in it, but I think it feels okay, how do I look?” she chuckled “have ever seen an uncooked roll of beef?”
“an uncooked roll of beef? no…why do you ask”
“well they come…with string wrapped around it…that’s what I look like right now” she laughed as she removed the wrap then held it out to Liam “your turn” she smirked Liam chuckled as he took the wrap from her hands and started wrapping it around him. Riley sat herself down in the rocking chair as she watched Liam attempt to wrap himself up.
Just a couple of weeks later, Riley was hitting her forty-week mark…and she was well and truly done with this pregnancy. Riley had been trying a few different ways of bringing on labour, spicy food…walking…sex…they had tried it all.
“why won’t your daughter get out of me?” she groaned as she met Liam in the kitchen where he was making the two of them some tea.
“maybe…maybe you could just pull her out…just get your hand right up there and pull her out”
“I don’t think it works like that sweetheart” Liam chuckled
“I’m so done with this”
“I know sweetie, just a little while longer I promise” he encouraged her as he placed the mugs on the table. “she’ll be here soon” he gently placed his hand on her stomach as he placed a gently kiss on her head
“why don’t we go for a walk? we can take a walk through the flower garden…maybe…the hedge maze…what do you think?”
“I think that’s a great idea”
after the two finished their tea, they pulled their shoes and coats on with their winter essentials, then they headed out to the flower garden hand in hand.
“it’s freezing!”
“we can go back inside if you want?” Liam asked
“no, it’s, okay, we’ll be fine”
“just be careful, there might be black ice under the snow”
“you just better be ready to catch me” Riley chuckled
“I’ll be ready”
“she could still be in there for another three weeks” Riley mumbled “she could be here tomorrow…can you believe it? this time tomorrow we could be sitting with her in our arms”
“I honestly can’t, I think she’ll turn up when we least expect it” Liam smirked as he squeezed her hand
“in the middle of the night if she’s anything like her mom”
“really?”
“Mhmmm 3:24 am”
“I was an early hour arrival too…4:21 am”
“we’ll aren’t we screwed then” Riley chuckled “she’s definitely showing up in the middle of the night now, ”
“we better try and get as much rest as we can then” Liam chuckled
The next day came and went, no baby in sight, Riley was uncomfortable and tired, her back ached, her breasts ached, her ankles as well. It was late in the afternoon, Liam was out at his only meeting for the day, he was due back anytime, Riley had spent the last few hours, falling in and out of sleep on the sofa. Riley had just woken up enough to get up and move. Just as she went to get up, she felt a pressure in her back.
“Ahhh shi-” she groaned as she fell back onto the sofa, taken by surprise by the pressure…sure she’d had Braxton hicks, but this felt different she quickly looked at the time so that she could keep track of the contractions.
Just a couple of seconds later the apartment door opened as Liam walked in, shutting it behind him. “hey” he smiled as he leaned over the back of the sofa and placed a kiss on her lips as she looked round at him.
“is everything okay?” Liam asked instantly seeing the look in her face.
“I…- I just had a contraction”
“what!?” he grinned as he quickly moved around to kneel in front of where she sat. “what should we do, should we go down to the physician?”
“no, we need to time them, I don’t want to end up sitting down there all day”
“alright, can I do anything, can I get anything for you?”
“I was about to get myself some water”
“alright, stay here, I’ll get you a glass of water”
It was about five minutes later, Liam had taken a seat beside Riley, as they discussed how his meeting went.
“I agreed to th-” Liam stopped what he was saying when Riley gripped his hand, leaning her forehead against his chest. He gently ran his free hand up and down her back.
“you’re so strong” he whispered before placing a kiss on her head
“how long?” Riley mumbled without lifting her head.
“about sixty-five seconds long, seven minutes since your first one”
“there’s no point in going down until they’re closer together, they could be like this for hours still”
“alright, well, I’m going to call down to the physician, let him know what’s going on, alright?”
With a nod of her head. Liam quickly lifted the phone from beside him, and dialled down to the
Physician’s office.
“Hi, Henry, Riley's having contractions”
“okay, I’ll see you in a few minutes” after bidding the doctor goodbye Liam hung up the phone, Riley looked up at him “what did he say?”
“He’s going to come up to check on you.”
Just a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Liam called for the doctor to come in, after closing the door behind him, the doctor made his way over to Riley.
“how far apart are they?” he asked as he took a seat beside her.
“seven minutes apart”
“how long are they lasting?”
“the last one was about sixty-five seconds” Riley informed him as she looked over at Liam, who kept looking down at his watch
“alright, I’m just going to check how dilated you are, okay?”
“Mhmmm” Riley nodded as she positioned herself on the sofa so that the doctor could check how far she was dilated
“alright, your about five cm dilated, so of course, you know you need to be ten cm before you can start pushing, what I’m going to need you to do, is keep timing them, once they get to around three minutes apart, we’ll get you down to the medical room, I’m sure you don’t want to sit down their bored for too long so, you could stay at five cm for a little while or they could progress really quickly so,  for as long as they are this far apart and your only five cm, just take it easy, take deep breathes, do something calming, read a book or sometimes taking a bath can help because the water takes the pressure away a little bit, or going for a walk might help, when a contraction hits, make sure your taking deep breathes, try not to break any of the kings bones” the doctor joked causing Riley and Liam to laugh, he looked down at his watch then moved over to sit beside Riley, taking her hand in his. Riley closed her eyes as she felt the next contraction
“deep breaths, sweetie” he reassured her “you’re doing great”
“just nice and calm, no stress alright, I will be just downstairs, making sure everything is prepared for you and the baby, if you need anything, and I mean anything, just call down and I’ll be straight up, I’ll come back up in a few hours and check on you and check how far your dilated”
“okay, thank you” Riley nodded as the doctor stood to his feet. Liam walked him to the door, closing it behind him after bidding him goodbye. He quickly moved back to Riley's side, taken her hand in his.
“can you help me up?”
“of course,” Liam stood to his feet, taking Riley's hands in his, he helped her to her feet. “alright, talk to me, tell me what you what you want to do, I can go run you a bath, we can go for a walk”
“could we go for a walk? not outside though…it’s too cold…my ass’ll freeze out there” Liam chuckled at his wife.
“alright, do you wanna go change?” he asked when he noticed she was wearing sweatpants, knowing that she would normally only wear them around the apartment and that’s it.
“pfft nope-” Riley quickly grabbed Liam's hand as her next contraction hit.
“shit…this is not fun” she groaned as she squeezed at Liam's hand “I’m so sorry if I’m hurting you”
“it’s okay, do what you need to sweetie, its fine, I don’t mind” he reassured her. Once her contraction passed, Liam helped her put her shoes on then the two headed out.
Just as the two were leaving the apartment, Drake was walking by.
“hey guys” he groaned
“Drake, hi” Riley smiled
“hey man!” Liam greeted him with a grin.
Drake looked Riley's outfit up and down with confusion, knowing she would never usually leave their apartment in sweats, she could spend all day in them in the apartment but when It came to leaving, she always made sure she was dressed appropriately. “where are you guys off too?”
“we’re just going for a walk around the palace”
“I’m having contractions, so the doctor said going for a walk might help”
“the babies coming?!?” he chirped
“yeah” Riley replied with a grin
“do you guys want me to take bash? I can keep him in my room for a few days?”
“really? That would be amazing Drake! I mean you don’t need to take him right now, it might be a little while still before we have to think about going down to the doctor, but that would be a huge help, thank you so much” Riley thanked him, before pulling him into a hug which he returned. Just as Riley went to step back her next contraction hit. She quickly grabbed the closes hand to her, which was drakes. Drake tensed his hand as she squeezed it, Liam stood smirking knowing how strong Riley's grip was.
“shit Riley, your stronger than you look!” Drake groaned as she squeezed it. once Riley let out, Drake shook his hand, trying to get the feeling back, Riley looked at him apologetically. “I’m so sorry drake”
“it’s alright…I’m sure the feeling will return to it soon, I just feel bad for Liam…I mean they’re only gonna get stronger right? I mean, are his hands actually going to work after this?” he stated causing Liam to laugh. Riley just stood there looking at him. “I’m sorry I shouldn’t make jokes, you’re in a lot of pain” he apologised
“I take my apology back…you deserved it” Riley huffed
“alright, come on, why don’t we keep walking before Drake literally loses a limb” Liam suggested as he took Riley's hand
“yeah…good idea” she smirked at Drake
“yeah…I second that” Drake nodded
After bidding him goodbye Liam and Riley continued their journey. It was about an hour later that the two returned to the apartment.
“I need to lie down” Riley mumbled as she headed for their bedroom, quickly being followed by Liam. Riley sat herself down on the bed, Liam kneeling at her feet to help her get her shoes off.
“could you get my nightdress, the blue on, its right at the top of the drawer, I’m too warm in these sweats”
“of course,” Liam pulled her second shoe off then headed for the closet, he quickly returned with the nightdress which he handed to Riley, he helped her to her feet.
“I gotta go to the bathroom, ill change whilst I’m in there” she mumbled tiredly as she made her way to the bathroom. She changed and done what she had to do then headed back into the bedroom, where she climbed onto the bed, she pulled the duvet over, bundling it up and wrapping herself around it. she groaned as another contraction hit, she gripped the duvet in her hands as she breathed deeply.
“could you open the window?” she asked Liam, who done as asked, he then joined Riley on the bed, he lay facing her on his side, running his hand up and down her back gently.
“you’re doing great sweetheart” he whispered as Riley leaned her forehead on his chest. “I love you so much” he whispered
“I’m scared Liam” Riley sniffled
“it’s okay, it’s okay to be scared sweetie, you can do this, I know you can do this…you know you can do this. You are so strong Riley”
“I love you so much Liam”
“I love you too…so much!!” he whispered “you should really try and get some sleep” he gently tucked her hair behind her ear.
“there is no way I’m sleeping through this” she sighed “maybe a massage would help” she smirked at him causing him to chuckle
“now that I can do” Liam moved down to the bottom of the bed, and lifted Riley's feet onto his lap, after putting some moisturiser on his hands he began massaging her skin.
“now that’s a massage” she smiled
“maybe I should have you feed me grapes too” she asked, Liam let out a laugh.
“I will get you grapes, if you so wish my queen”
“ha-ha no its okay”
“can you believe it, Liam?”
“what?”
“that she’s gonna be in our arms…finally”
“it’s exciting” Liam smirked
“it is isn’t it, I mean, I know it hurts…a lot…but if I have to go through this for our little girl to come into world…I would do it ten times over”
“and I would be with you…the whole way”
For the past hour Riley had been drifting in and out of sleep, she had not long woken up.
“hey” Liam whispered.
“I need to get up…I can’t just lie here, dozing in and out of sleep, it’s making me feel worse.”
Liam helped Riley from the bed and into the living room.
“maybe we should try some of the positions, Julie, the birthing teacher showed us”
“o-okay” she nodded.
“alright she said try to be upright and leaning forward…sit down” she directed him to the sofa, she lifted a cushion and placed it on the ground in front of where he sat. Liam took Riley's hands as he helped her kneel to the cushion.
“how long?” Riley mumbled as she leaned forward onto his knees, with her head leaning down
“about thirty seconds” Liam answered as he looked at his watch. He leaned his arm over, gently rubbing Riley's lower back.
“Mmmm” she let out a deep breath as her next contraction hit. It was just then that there was a knock at the door.
“who is it?” Liam called
“It’s Drake, Hana and Maxwell” Liam looked at Riley asking her if she wanted visitors, without speaking, she nodded as she took deep breathes
“come in” he called back.
The three came wondering in with grins on their faces.
“is it really happening?” Maxwell asked enthusiastically
“Mhmmm” Riley nodded with a smile.
“stupid question, I know…how are you feeling?” Hana asked as she walked over to the pair
“I’m fine…just…it’s exhausting, the pain…right now its bearable…It just tires you out”
“we brought something that might help with that” Maxwell smirked
“you did?”
“Mhmmm…look” he started emptying the contents of the bag he was carrying.
“you brought board games?” Riley smirked
“what better way to distract you, I even brought monopoly” Maxwell smirked
“monopoly…are you trying to get us divorced before the babies even here? that shits known for starting fights….im excited…lets play” she chuckled causing everyone to laugh.
Hana, Maxwell and Drake all headed over to where Riley and Liam were sitting. Drake moved the side table over to them, they set up the board, picked which counter they wanted, then the game began.
It took an hour and a half before the board was flipped. Riley and Drake were in the midst of an argument over whether it was a rule that if Drake doesn’t ask for the money before the next person rolls the dice when Riley lands on one of his lots, then he forfeits the money. Drake was adamant it wasn’t a rule, he was sure Riley had made it up…that was until Riley searched the internet and trusty google proved him wrong…he flipped the board game as they all laughed.
“I think it’s time we put this game away” Liam chuckled
“Drake…are you emotionally stable to play another- OH…My god!” Riley Riley's eyes practically jumped out of her head.
“what is it?” Liam asked as he gently rubbed her back, the others quickly moved to her side, she looked up at Liam then down to her crotch….
“My water just broke”
