Eddie Munson x Reader (Angst)

| Eddie Munson & Steddie Masterlist |

Summary: If you want to stay up to date on celebrity gossip, GossipWeb is the site to subscribe to! Monday’s Weekend Roundup for July 17 has an update on Corroded Coffin, and you should totally check it out!

Author Note: Modern Rockstar!Eddie AU. Reader not mentioned in this first part, but will be in future installments so I went ahead and labeled it as an x Reader fic. Written in the style of a gossip column.

CW: Mentions of divorce; mentions of alcoholism and drug addiction; mention of a fistfight.

(The following is an excerpt from the July 17, 2023 edition of The Weekend Roundup, a gossip column posted every Monday afternoon on GossipWeb.com and the GossipWeb app.)

Wedding bells are in the air for model Chrissy Munson and nature photographer David Greggs. The pair have officially announced their engagement on Sunday via social media, confirming recent rumors.

The happy couple shared the news on their respective Instagram accounts, showing photos of the two happily embracing on a beach at sunset. In one, Munson is holding out her hand to show off the huge sapphire and diamond engagement ring now sitting on her finger.

“I said YES!” Munson captioned her photo while Greggs captioned his, “She said YES!”

The pair first made headlines back in 2021, when they were spotted having dinner together just a few weeks after Munson filed for divorce from Corroded Coffin’s frontman, Eddie Munson.

While “Irreconcilable differences” were listed in the official court filing, representatives for both Eddie and Chrissy have declined to comment further on the matter. In the social media post announcing the divorce, Chrissy took a diplomatic path, stating, “Sometimes our plans in life just don’t work out the way we want them to. Unfortunately, this is one of those times. I wish Eddie nothing but the best and wish nothing but happiness for him. While our marriage may be over, he will always hold a special place in my heart.”

But, while her words made it sound like the split was an amicable one, many have their doubts it was that simple.

Rumors had been circulating regarding her ex husband’s hard partying lifestyle for years. Insiders have come forward to provide accounts of escalating drug and alcohol abuse, and extremely irrational and erratic behavior from the rockstar. Shortly after the divorce filing, it was reported to multiple news outlets that an intervention was been staged for Munson just a few days prior to the court filing, but it had failed.

In related news, the former members of Corroded Coffin are continuing to stay busy and are enjoying far more laid back schedules.

Following a highly successful album with their band Fallen Shadows, Jeff Richards and Grant Lee have announced a small, twenty city tour that will occur early next year. While the dates and cities are still to be determined, the two are looking forward to getting back on the road.

“It’s been awhile, but we’re itching to get back out there,” Richards stated in a Facebook post. “There’s nothing like bringing our music out into the world and sharing it in person with the fans.”

But Gareth Emerson hasn’t been so eager to return to the spotlight.

Following a successful stay at the Betty Ford Center, which he entered in December 2019, Emerson says he has done a lot of thinking about his life and who he wants to be, both as a person and an artist.

“The stress I was constantly putting myself under was ultimately my downfall,” he explained in a Facebook post full of self reflection. “And one of the biggest stressors for me was the constant need to promote myself, to sell myself basically. I stopped feeling like a person and started feeling like a piece of meat. In this business, it doesn’t take long before you start getting treated like a machine and you start looking for ways to cope. And, usually, you find yourself coping by turning to drugs. Now I don’t have to just cope because I refuse to put myself back in that stressful position.”

Emerson continues to write and record new music, which he releases on iTunes under his own name. While he’s leaning heavily into experimental sounds, his new style seems to be gravitating towards a blend of classic rock n’ roll, folk and heavy metal. It’s not a combination you would expect to hear from a speed metal drummer, but Emerson clearly has hidden talents he’s only just starting to show the world.

As for the frontman and lead guitarist, Eddie Munson, unfortunately, there’s not much can be said.

The statement from Corroded Coffin announcing their hiatus came in late 2019 just a few days after Munson and Emerson’s very publicized fistfight at the UK Music Video Awards. While he virtually dropped out of the spotlight as a musician in the following months, Munson was frequently in the news due to his excess partying and rowdy behavior.

Then, in 2022, he unexpectedly disappeared from the LA party scene, only to resurface a few months later in his old hometown of Hawkins, Indiana.

Representatives for Munson have declined to comment, so the true reasons for his returning to Hawkins are still unclear. The rocker has yet to make any return trips home to California within the last eighteen months since his departure. This adds credibility to a more recent rumor we reported on last week that Munson is in negotiations to sell his Malibu home to a private seller.

Perhaps the rockstar has finally turned over a new leaf?

Some signs point to yes.

Earlier this year, Gareth Emerson’s wife, actress Kim Simmons-Emerson, sent well wishes to Eddie in a heartfelt Instagram post. She posted an old photo of Munson and Emerson from high school with the caption, “Today marks a new beginning for old friends. We’re so proud of you. We knew you could do it.”

Palimpsest

just something small and shitty i wrote after rewatching the GQ interview (and on loads of cough syrup)

‘There used to be a rave there,’ he speaks wistfully, softly and points at a large Pret nestled between two buildings. 

The cafe in question looks a bit out of place; shiny and modern compared to the brick buildings on either side of it. People walk in and out, speed-walking, head tilted down looking at their phones. Their business casual outfits are smart and ironed to the T. 

And the two of you stand in front of it in Matty’s old hoodies. 

‘What’s that…the third time now?’ you tease gently. He’s been in a bit of a mood; nostalgia topped with melancholy with an added dash of “old age is upon me”

‘The fourth,’ he corrects grumpily, ‘and you’re not supposed to be mean to me today.’

‘Why not?’

He grabs your hand in his, long spindly fingers gently caressing the ring on your finger. ‘Because it’s been six months since this,’ he points out proudly. 

You quietly examine the dainty gem on your finger, just like you have every day for the last six months, and smile to yourself. The platinum band is worn, maybe even lightly scratched but the diamond is new and shiny. 

‘Tell me the story of my ring again,’ you sling your arm around his waist and nudge him away from the Pret that was once a rave. 

The ring story has been told several times now, once by his mum, twice by him. Still you love hearing it each time, love how excited he gets when he starts narrating it like a proper story. 

‘Once upon a time,’ he begins with a flourish and you throw your head back to laugh. 

The day is mild and beautiful, his voice trickles like warm honey in your ears as he recalls the ring’s history. It was his nana’s, then it was briefly his mother’s, then he asked if he could use it to propose but get the gem replaced. 

‘It’s not just a ring,’ he states proudly. ‘It’s a palimpsest.’

‘Palimpsest,’ you shake your head, ‘you and your big words.’

‘You taught me that word actually.’

‘Did I?’

‘Mm-hmm,’ he nods and pulls you closer to him, ‘I had to look it up.’

That makes you turn to him and gasp dramatically. His face splits into a smile, he rolls his eyes and pulls up his hood further over his face. You have been walking around aimlessly; lazy and unhurried. Sometimes he twirls you in the streets just because, sometimes you catch the sun highlighting the grey in his curls. 

‘So what should we do to celebrate today?’ 

He takes a moment to think. It’s one of his serious silences, he’s actually contemplating his answer. ‘Just elope with me today.’

Your steps come to an abrupt halt. Elope. Today. Is he serious? The expression on his face is open and excited. He actually fully fucking means it. 

‘And what about all the wedding planning I’ve agonised over?’ You ask this only because you’re still trying to wrap your head around what he’s just said. Not that the idea isn’t exciting. And the more you think about it…

‘We’ll have that wedding too. But today it would be just us,’ he offers. His spontaneous idea is starting to take a vague shape now. Could you really?

‘And where would be get married?’ you ask breathlessly. It occurs to you then that you have fully stopped in the middle of a busy sidewalk. Some people give you judgemental looks while walking by you. And you watch as realisation dawns on his face.

‘There’s a chapel right around the corner.’

That. Is even more shocking. 

‘Matty Healy wants to get married in a chapel?’ you try not to let the scepticism be too obvious but fail anyway. He’s enjoying all of this, how after all these years he can still fluster you and leave you speechless. How unpredictable he is even after all this time spent together. 

He leans in and winks conspiratorially, ‘only because there used to be a rave there.’

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

Nixon, New Jersey – December 20, 1946

The sprawling home of Stanhope Nixon was overflowing with guests, alcohol, and music as the annual Nixon Nitration Works holiday party was in full swing. Catering staff were milling about with silver trays of canapés and champagne while the management staff and their wives ate, drank, and made merry amongst the millwork and art that adorned Lewis’s father’s New Jersey home.

Lewis himself was busy playing host alongside his father, with his British war bride Irene in tow, as Dick kindly introduced you to his immediate supervisor. The modest diamond engagement ring and matching wedding band on your left ring finger refracted the light against the glass of champagne Lewis had planted in your hand upon your arrival, snagging your attention as it still tended to do, even eight months on.

The end of the war had come around the same time for you and Dick, with the Japanese surrender for him and with your discharge from Major Wilke’s command upon the arrival of the Allied prosecutorial team in Nuremberg furnished with a fleet of translators freshly released from Bletchley Park and other frontline duties. It had been bittersweet to be no longer needed, but as you had admitted to Dick that dreamy summer day in Austria, you were quite finished with your time in Europe.

It had taken over five months for Europe to let you go, however. Returning to England had been the easy part, your uncle’s widow in Oxford welcoming you back with open arms. With your more ambiguous service record under CWAC, however, return to Canada had taken rather longer. Priority on troop ships was naturally given to the boys in uniform, and then the girls who had enlisted in Canada. You had waited impatiently for your turn, working with your aunt to alter the wedding gown she had squirreled away from her own marriage in 1936. It had been her hope for her own daughter to wear it someday, but she had insisted as you were the closest thing she would ever have to such a person now, you ought to have it. So, it had become your joint project to turn it into something more modern for whenever you could find yourself standing in front of Dick Winters again.

That chance had not presented itself until March of 1946. Dick had arrived by train in your hometown in Canada, insistent on asking your father’s permission to marry you in person. He brought a ring, as promised, and married you one week later. Immigration paperwork had taken six weeks to clear, but you were grateful that it was nothing like the delay women from overseas endured. By the time you arrived in Nixon, New Jersey, Dick had a modest house and a car waiting for you, true to his word again. By the fall, you’d started offering private French lessons and you and Dick were seriously discussing whether or not you would attend vocational school to become a public-school teacher. Life was good, better than you could have ever imagined.

This party, however, had begun to drag on. Your feet were beginning to hurt as you stood around in your heels and you were feeling the strain of trying keep up with the myriad of conversations swirling around you amid the din of music and laughter. Dick’s hand on your lower back had you turning to him as he leaned into your left ear. “Let me show you the library.” His thumb swept along the fabric of your dress soothingly and you nodded gratefully as he excused you both.

Leading you down the hallway confidently, you wondered how many times he had been in this house, but felt your shoulders relax as the oppressive wall of sound faded away behind you. Guiding you around a corner, you couldn’t help but gasp as you stepped into a room filled with an expansive collection of leatherbound books, a fire laid in a stone hearth with a cozy seating area in front anchoring the space.

“Did we just find heaven?” You whispered conspiratorially and he chuckled as he kissed your temple, leading you to sit on an overstuffed leather sofa.

Setting down your now-empty glass on the low table in front of you, you sighed as you pressed a thumb between your brows. “I’m sorry it was so obvious I was having a hard time in there.” You apologized softly.

Sliding an arm around your shoulders, he gave a gentle squeeze. “Only to me, honey.” He assured you.

The sound of footsteps in the hall had both your heads turning sharply, concerned your sanctuary was about to be disrupted, but it was only Lewis who appeared in the doorway. “I thought I saw you two sneak off here.” He smirked, a glass of whisky in one hand and a bottle of Canada Dry ginger ale in the other. Kicking the door shut behind him, he came to sit in one of the armchairs across from the pair of you.

“Apparently we were not as subtle as we hoped.” You laughed as he poured half the bottle into your empty glass before handing the remainder to Dick, raising his own glass of amber liquid in a toast.

“Happy Holidays.”

“Happy Holidays, Lew.” Dick replied before your glassware came together in an awkward symphony of mismatched ‘clinks’ before you each took an appreciative sip.

“And to think we spent the last few scattered hither and yon.” Lewis remarked.

“Eating potatoes…” you muttered.

“Or nothing at all.” Dick added thoughtfully.

“Couldn’t get beef, Vat 69…nylons…” Lewis gave a nod in your direction, and you glanced at the closed door before eyeing him over the rim of your glass.

“Oh, I suppose it was a bit of a nuisance, but I honestly did appreciate having silk in my parachutes.” You took a leisurely sip, waiting for his reaction.

It unfolded slowly, his eyes widening before he sucked in a breath laced with droplets of his treasured whisky before coughing violently, pointing at you. “I knew it.” He wheezed eventually as you tried not to laugh too brightly at his expense. Dick held no such qualms, laughing richly beside you.

“Of course you did, you saw my last day firsthand.”

“But you finally admitted it! Please, you have to tell me everything…” He leaned forward eagerly, and you swallowed, wishing more than anything that you could.

There was still a great deal you hadn’t even shared with Dick; The Official Secrets Act preventing you from divulging anything. How you longed to share everything with them – the training schools in Scotland, the slosh of an aggressive amount of rum in your belly as you had fallen no more than ten seconds to hit the ground outside Lyon, your harrowing journey across the Pyrenees mountains into Spain to find passage back to England with your fresh side wound nagging at every step. The determination that had driven you back to Normandy just weeks after you return to London, and the eight months of exhausting, tension-laced work that had preceded their arrival. How you longed to share everything, to commiserate and to laugh. To be honest.

“Someday, Lewis. Someday it won’t be treason to talk about it and I will tell you everything.” You promised.

“To someday, then.” He grinned, raising his glass in another toast. “And believe me I will hold you to that.”

Laughing warmly, you raised yours in return. “To someday.”

"Knowing that this is all an act and really knowing it are two different things."

Yenskier! If you feel so moved 🥹🤞🏼

I always feel moved to write Yennskier! Here's a modern with magic AU with mentions of background Yenralt and Geraskier (can be read as pre-OT3)

The ring is perfect, a black pearl surrounded by a halo of tiny diamonds, set in a white gold band. It’s exactly the kind of engagement ring that Yennefer would have picked out for herself, if she were the engagement ring type. The fact that Jaskier is the one that bought it—even sizing it perfectly somehow—annoys her to no end.

“Well, that went swimmingly,” Jaskier says, carrying a pile of dishes into the kitchen and dumping them into the sink. “What do you think, my pearl?”

Yennefer looks away from the ring, annoyed to have been caught gazing at it like a dewy-eyed schoolgirl who was just handed her first promise ring. “I think that was the most tedious three hours of my life, and Geralt used to drag me to all your open mic nights.”

“Your wifely support warms my heart.” He puts a hand to his chest. The wedding band he selected for himself is just as perfect for him, with a sapphire as big as his thumbnail. He’s probably going to put his eye out with that thing. “But I think they all bought us as a married couple, don’t you think?”

“Well, they haven’t tried to kill us yet.” Yennefer pours the last of the bottle of wine into her glass and leans against the counter, watching as Jaskier puts his ring on the counter and begins to scrub at the dishes.

“The Turners were a bit overly interested in where we’re from and who our families are,” Jaskier says. “But I think they may just be snobs, not necessarily thinking about sacrificing us to any forest gods.”

“Mrs. Paine was very interested in you.”

“Again, I think she may just be very bored in her marriage, not necessarily homicidal.”

“It’s possible to be both.”

“You speak with such experience.” Jaskier looks over his shoulder, eyes twinkling. “I promise you, my dove, marriage to be will be many things, but never boring.”

"We're not married."

“Yes, I know that.” He waves one sudsy hand. “But if we’re going to be doing this for Melitele knows how long, we may as well lean into it.”

Yennefer snorts. She would much rather have gone through this charade with Geralt, but her lover is on the other side of the Continent right now, pursuing another lead. So she’s stuck here with his other lover, investigating the suburbanites who may or may not be trying to harness the power of an ancient forest god. Which she could forgive, if they weren’t so insufferably dull about their potential apocalyptic plans.

“Lean into it?” she asks. “By going to play badminton with Mr. Paine tomorrow? Do you think their forest god is going to be at the country club?”

“I would hope not. Those clawed feet would probably be murder on the golf courses.” Jaskier chortles at his own joke. “I’m trying to get to know the people we’re supposed to be investigating. That’s why we’re here, remember?”

“Just don’t end up tied to any altars.”

“Worried about me, my sun?” He turns to bat his eyelashes at her.

“I just don’t feel like saving your ass tomorrow morning. I have yoga.”

“Well, you don’t have to save my ass. You own enough black clothing; you’ll be a convincing widow.”

“If you die, I’ll have to go to the Brewsters’ potluck alone and I don’t think I’ll make it through the night without turning someone into a hedge.” Plus, she promised Geralt that she would keep Jaskier safe. She tries to keep her promises to Geralt, even if it means not letting his idiot boyfriend get himself killed.

“The Brewsters actually seem perfectly lovely, so we can’t have that.” Jaskier is quiet for a moment, concentrating on scrubbing a tricky spot. His back is turned to her, but she can picture his tongue poking out of his mouth like it always does when he’s focused. “After I get home from badminton, I was thinking we could go look at paint colors.”

“For what?”

“The bedroom.”

“Why?”

“Well, you’ve only mentioned how tacky you find the green and pink seventeen times this week. I thought you might be bored of complaining about the same thing.”

“This isn’t really our house,” Yennefer reminds him. “The owners will remember it eventually and when they get back from their winter in Toussaint, they’ll wonder why their bedroom is a different color.”

“I’m sure you can just waggle your fingers and turn it back.” Jaskier waggles his fingers to demonstrate. “But we’re probably going to be here for a while, so you should like our bedroom.”

“It’s not really ours.”

“Right now, it is. Anyway, it could be a fun project for us next weekend.”

“When we’re not investigating the murderous cult?” Yennefer asks acidly, staring at the back of Jaskier’s head in disbelief. Of course Jaskier would settle into this suburban life so nicely; this is how he grew up. He has a pair of doting parents, four sisters, a gaggle of nieces and nephews. He grew up surrounded by this kind of mundanity, going to barbecues on weekends and watching his parents debate swatches of paint.

Yennefer has never been meant for this life. She went from a pigsty to Aretuza to the Aedirnian government. If her parents ever got invited to barbecues and games of badminton—unlikely, given that her stepfather was the town drunk—they never brought her along.

Not that Yennefer has any kind of interest in this type of domesticity. If she were to ever settle down, it wouldn’t be in a cul de sac of cookie cutter houses, identical save for the six different colors the HOA allows them to paint their doors. She wouldn’t spend her evenings hosting dinner parties for the dullest people she’s ever met. She wouldn’t be cohabiting with Jaskier, of all people.

Jaskier is talking, she realizes, though whatever he’s saying doesn’t seem to require her participation. As he waves his hand to emphasize his point, soap bubbles fly everywhere without him even seeming to notice. A splash of water comes perilously close to his ring, which lies forgotten on the counter. Yennefer picks it up to relocate it to a safer spot.

“Anyway,” Jaskier is saying. “I’m not a sorceress who can look into their minds or a witcher who can fight their forest god. The best thing I can do is casually bring up the local disappearances while I play badminton with Mr. Paine and make a mean brisket.”

“That was a decent brisket,” Yennefer admits grudgingly.

“Wasn’t it?” Jaskier turns to grin at her again. There’s a bubble of soap suds clinging to the tip of his nose. The sight makes her feel an unexpected, entirely irrational surge of fondness. She thinks about closing the distance between them to swipe it away. Instead, she grips the edge of the counter.

“Just don’t get attached,” she says. “These people aren’t your friends. At least one of them is a killer and given the number of disappearances, I wouldn’t be surprised if half the neighborhood is either in on it or knows what’s going on and is looking in the other direction because they’d rather focus on having the nicest hydrangeas on the block.”

His grin fades into a soft, almost sad little smile. “Don’t worry, Yenn, you don’t have to worry about me getting attached. I did theater in college. I know how to put on an act.”

Yennefer isn’t sure why that bothers her. It’s good that he’s consciously putting on an act; it’s what they’re here for. “Geralt dragged me to your plays too. They were terrible.”

That gets the expected offended noise from him. “It’s a good thing you’re not masquerading as a theater critic, Yennefer, because no one can accuse you of having good taste.”

“And it’s a good thing you’re not masquerading as an actor.”

“I want a divorce.”

“We’re not married.”

“Then I want a fake divorce.”

“Mr. Paine’s a divorce attorney, isn’t he? Bring it up with him tomorrow.” Yennefer realizes she’s still holding Jaskier’s ring, the absurdly large sapphire glittering in her palm, and sets it aside. “I’m going to go upstairs.”

“Fine.” He lets out a long sigh. “Leave me to my toils.”

Yennefer rolls her eyes and mutters a spell. A moment later, the dishes are stacked neatly in the dish drainer, all perfectly clean.

Jaskier turns to look at her incredulously. “You couldn’t have done that ten minutes ago?”

“A little manual labor is good for you.”

“Just for that, I’m painting the bedroom orange.”

“Still won’t be the tackiest thing in this house.” Pointedly, she looks over his outfit, eliciting another squawk of protest.

Smirking, she heads up the stairs to the master bedroom, stepping around the pile of bedding on the floor where Jaskier has been sleeping. Even though the room’s horrendous pink and green color scheme is nothing that Yennefer would choose for herself, the room is filled with the trappings of the life she and Jaskier are sharing here: a guitar leaning against the wall, a sweater discarded on the bed, the fake wedding photo Ciri photoshopped for them sitting on the dresser. 

Yennefer’s eyes linger on the photo. Ciri is a talented kid; only the most eagle-eyed observer would notice that Yennefer’s skin tone isn’t an exact match of the bride in the elegant lace dress. The false Jaskier stands behind the false Yennefer, arms around her waist, eyes twinkling with love and joy as he holds her close. Yennefer is fairly sure Ciri took his face from a photo of him with Geralt.

They talked about their wedding earlier, the stunning destination wedding to Skellige where Jaskier cried when he saw Yennefer walking down the aisle. They talked about their first meeting at the coffee shop where Jaskier used to work. They talked about Jaskier proposing in that same coffee shop two years later. It was the story of a happy, normal couple, and it was all entirely bullshit.

Yennefer sighs and twists off the perfect engagement ring, dropping it on her ring holder, before she goes to take off the seafoam green sundress she borrowed from Triss.

This is all an act, she tells herself. She just hopes that Jaskier doesn’t forget that.

Part of our EB Modern collection which incorporates rare diamonds into minimal mountings of our design, this ring centers on an extremely rare c1920 round step cut diamond weighing 0.60 carats. It's set in a platinum bezel supported by curls that rise from the shank. A GIA certificate states D color (the highest and whitest possible color) and VS2 clarity. The design allows a wedding band to rest directly against the shank, beneath the diamond bezel. Sturdy, but more delicate than some designs, so best suited to careful wearers.

Steve and the Puppy

Trigger warning: Steve Rogers, mention of animal abuse, rescue dogs, puking, pregnancy reveal, fluff

Summary: Steve and you move into your lake house and adopt a puppy.

Steve is carrying the last few boxes from the moving van into the house. We spent the night at a motel, and left promptly before sunrise. I'm busy making sure that each box is in each room. I'm busy unpacking the kitchen boxes, and putting the plates in the dishwasher. Then, I unpack the silverware and load that in the dishwasher.

Steve contacted the water company and the electric company to turn on the water, the heat and the air conditioning, and the electricity.

The lake house Steve and I purchased is in a nice, little area that's close to the newer compound upstate. The house across the lake has just been sold to Tony. Tony and Pepper recently got married, and we were in the wedding. Steve and I have been together for four years, and Steve is home more often now. I'm home more often these days, too. I took a back seat from missions, and it feels nice. Steve and I just want to enjoy this time right now.

"That should be the last of it," says Steve, who is carrying the last box.

I look at the engagement ring on my finger. I look at the matching wedding band on Steve proposed last fall on my birthday, and he proposed with his mother's ring.

Steve's wedding band briefly catches the sunlight, and we're standing in our kitchen. We just returned from our honey moon in Rome, and we're moving from the city into a lake house. I slept on the ride up here, and I had to tell Steve to stop a few times so that I could throw up. I've been feeling very queasy and nauseous.

"Doll, are you okay?" asks Steve, as he's rubbing soothing circles on my back.

"I think it's something I ate. But I should have kicked this ages ago. Don't these things last 24 hours, and your better?" I ask.

Steve picks me up, and carries me bridal style to the bedroom. He puts a trash can next to me, and I sleep for a bit. I wake up, feeling even more queasier and nauseated than I already have. I throw up in the trash can.

Steve comes back from his morning jog, carrying a dog in his arms.

"Steve, is that what I think it is?" I ask

"Yes. I think he's hurt", says Steve.

I immediately tell Steve to get in the car, and we're taking the dog to the vet. The dog is shaking, and moaning. It's too thin, and it's fur is all mattified. It looks pretty knocked around. If I could find his owners, I have no idea what I'd do, but to abuse an animal in this way is unforgivable. There's a special place in hell for animal abusers.

Steve and I take the dog to the local ASPCA. They thank us, and we just wait. I just start crying, and I have no idea why.

"Shh. It's okay, doll. They'll report this to the police," says Steve.

"But, I just want him to be okay," I say.

"He will be. The volunteer said that we found him in time. He looked pretty knocked around," says Steve.

"How can people be this cruel?" I say.

Steve puts his arms around me and holds me close. I sob for a little while longer, and then ask where the bathroom is. The kind volunteer points me to the bathroom. I throw up, and I'm sobbing on top of this.

We just wait. The vets that volunteer there do the exam, and they have various other tests that they have to put the dog through.

I throw up again. The next day at work, Tony finds me passed out, and immediately runs me to the medical bay, with me unconscious in his arms. He immediately gets Steve.

Steve is busy training new recruits when Tony calls him to the medical bay.

Tony made sure that Dr. Cho kept him updated at all times. Steve refused to leave my side.

"Oh, doll. I didn't know it was this bad," says Steve.

"I'll be-BLARGH!" I throw up in the barf bin.

"Well, (y/n), we found out why you've been so sick lately. You just returned from your honeymoon in Rome, correct?" asks Dr. Cho.

"Yes, but that was weeks ago," I say.

"When was your last period?" asks Dr. Cho.

"Two weeks before the wedding," I answer.

"According to your chart, that's correct," says Dr. Cho.

"Wait, Tony has JARVIS keep track of everyone's vitals?" says Steve.

"Yes, Mr. Rogers, including yours. For female employees, he even makes sure that JARVIS tracks their menstrual cycles," says Dr. Cho.

"We actually discovered a heart beat," says Dr. Cho.

Steve and I look at each other in confusion.

Dr. Cho shows me the ultrasound. I look at it still doesn't seem real.

"But, that can't be. Steve and I were careful," I say.

"Wait, she's pregnant? That can't be. We were being very careful," says Steve.

Steve leaves the room to collect himself. Tony stays, while Bruce makes sure that Steve is okay.

"Wait, so Capsicle's swimmers are still working?" says Tony.

"TONY!" everyone says

"Yes. Steve's altered DNA combined with (y/n) unaltered DNA made (y/n)'s symptoms intensify. Hyperemesis gravidarum is why (y/n) has been so sick lately," says Dr. Cho.

"Wait, I'm gonna be a mom? It still doesn't seem real," I say.

"How's Steve doing?" I ask.

"Steve is still trying to process all of this," says Dr. Banner.

"Okay. Can I have a photo of the ultrasound? Steve's birthday is in a few days, and I want to surprise him," I say.

"Sure," says Dr. Cho.

Dr. Cho gives me an envelope with the ultrasound inside it.

Bruce explains that my symptoms will be intensified, but that shouldn't stop me from carrying to term.

"As long as you keep your stress low, get plenty of rest, and eat plenty of food, and get plenty of exercise, you should be okay," says Bruce.

Steve kisses your hand, and you know that you'll be okay. It's such a small, but romantic gesture.

"I want to keep her overnight, just to be on the safe side. I gave her some doxylamine, and pyridoxine. That will help reduce the symptoms. I'm giving her a prescription for that," says Dr. Cho.

I'm released the next morning, with my new prescription in hand. Steve and I spend the night in the tower, so if I need to go to the hospital, me and Steve are right there.

Luckily, we don't have to make another hospital trip, yet. So, that afternoon, we head back to the lake house. When we get back, and get settled in, Steve and I nap. My phone rings, waking both of us up.

"Hello," I say.

"Is this (y/n) Rogers?" asks the volunteer.

"Yes, this is she," I say.

"The dog you and Steve Rogers found is fine. He's ready to be adopted by you guys. We tried to contact the owners, but they don't want him. We were wondering if you and Mr. Rogers would like him," says the volunteer.

Steve takes the phone from my hand, and speaks.

"Sure. I'll pick him up in an hour," says Steve.

"Great. See you then, Mr. Rogers," says the volunteer.

"Did you hear that, doll? We'll have a dog," says Steve.

"Steve, that's wonderful!" I say.

"I'll go pick him up, just go to the pharmacy and get that prescription filled," says Steve.

"Okay, but bring him home safe. Remember, you're carrying precious cargo," I say.

"Doll, you're carrying precious cargo inside you. Our baby is going to be the first baby of the Avengers," says Steve.

"Okay, I'll have Natasha take me to the pharmacy," I say.

"Nope, I'm taking you to the pharmacy," says Agent Coulson, who I didn't realize had been in the house.

"Steve let me in," says Coulson.

"Oh, Agent Coulson, I didn't realize you were here," I say.

"Yes, when you passed out suddenly, we were concerned. When it's was announced that you're carrying Steve's baby, I immediately insisted that I be informed immediately of anything you needed. Since you need to go the pharmacy, that's where I'm taking you. Steve and Tony insisted that I be informed of everything, including daily updates of your precious cargo," says Coulson.

"Okay, let me get my purse and the prescription slip," I say.

"Steve, I'll see you when I get home," I say.

"See you then, doll," says Steve, giving me a quick kiss.

I get in Phil's car, and Steve get's in our SUV. Agent Coulson takes me to Target, and I give them my prescription. I go to the pet department, and get a leash, a collar, a water bowl, a food bowl, a mat, and some potty pads. I even get some Blue Buffalo kibble, and some wet dog food. Phil helps me pick out some dog toys, and loads everything into the cart. My prescription is ready, and I pay for it.

"Phil, you didn't have to do this," i say.

"It's no problem. Anything for the mother of Steve's baby," says Phil.

"Can you help me pick out some onesies? Steve and I are going to Costco later, and I really want to break the news to him. I really want to do this my way," I say.

I already made some booties in pink, blue, and white that will go in the package.

I even get some pregnancy tests. I got some blank onesies, two white ones, a pink one, and a blue one. I got some acrylic pain in red, blue and white, and some brushes. Phil helps me paints them when we get home, and we put them out on the card table that had a large towel on it so that they can dry properly.

"Phil, I hope this goes over well. Steve's birthday is in a few days, and I'm super nervous about it," I say.

"Knowing Steve, he'll take the news well. You helped him adjust to the modern world, and you even helped him use the computer and a smart phone," says Phil.

"Thanks, Phil," I say, with a smile on my face.

I go to the bathroom to relieve myself, and I look a the tests. I'll take those in the morning when Steve goes out for his jog.

Meanwhile, Steve is busy picking up our new dog. He calls me to give me an update, they're just busy making sure that he's clean, and they're finishing up the vet check.

"It'll be a little while longer, they're just finishing up the vet check, to make sure that he doesn't have any diseases, or anything that would bring up immediate concern. The shelter kept him longer because he needed some calories, and they even bathed him. When the volunteers brought the dog out, the dog ran right up to Steve.

"Ready to go, pal?" asks Steve.

"Woof, woof," the dog barks.

Steve loads the dog in the SUV, and the dog is nervous. Eventually, he sees the his old house, and sinks down on the seat, a small growl escaping him.

"It's okay, pal," says Steve. The dog stops, and starts to look at Steve, with worry in his eyes.

"Nobody, and I mean nobody has the right to hurt you," says Steve.

'Shh, wait till you meet Mrs. Rogers," says Steve.

"In nine months, you'll meet our precious baby," says Steve.

The dog perks up when he hears the word baby, now he has all the more reason to protect someone smaller than he his.

Steve arrives home while Phil and I are prepping for dinner. Phil mentioned that Tony bought the house across the lake, and it's great that Tony cares. You knew that Tony cared, but never showed it. I thought he was the most arrogant, selfish jerk, but he was a softie deep down.

"Tony feels that since you're carrying Capsicle's baby, he feels the need to keep an eye on you. Capsicle's baby is precious cargo," says Phil.

"Knowing Tony, he probably called our baby Capsicle's spawn," I say.

"You can say that. He also wondered since given Caps age, it can't be easy having a baby with someone old enough to be a pensioner," says Phil.

Phil and I both laugh, because well, that's typical for Tony.

"Doll, I'm home," says Steve.

"Hi, Steve," says Phil.

"Agent Coulson, how are you?" says Steve.

"(y/n) and I are fine. I'm just helping her with some household chores," says Phil, who's helping me load the dishwasher.

"Who's this?" says Phil, kneeling down to pet our dog.

"This is the dog we rescued," says Steve.

"He needs a name," I say.

"How about Liberty?" says Phil.

"Okay, Liberty," says Steve.

"No, how about Freedom?" I say

"I like Liberty better?" says Steve.

"Wait, how about Phil?" I say.

"Phil does sound better," says Steve.

"Wait, no. Coulson!" I say.

Coulson barks, and he seems to love his name.

"I think Coulson loves his name," says Phil.

"Hi, Coulson," I say.

Coulson runs up to me, and plants himself on my feet. It's as if he knew immediately that I was carrying his new playmate.

"Someone likes you," says Steve.

"Bark," says Coulson.

"Steve, why don't we let Coulson get settled in here, and then we'll have dinner," I say.

"I better get going," says Phil.

"Please stay for dinner, Phil," I say.

"I don't want to impose," says Phil.

"Agent Coulson, you're not imposing, we'll have plenty," says Steve.

"No, I got to get back to the Tower, I have a meeting with Fury tomorrow," says Phil.

"I did get your invitation. I'll be here tomorrow for the Fourth," says Phil.

I'm feeling drowsy, so Steve picks me up, and carries me to the bedroom, and lays me in bed. Steve falls asleep next to me, holding me close to him. Coulson jumps up, and parks himself at my feet, and doesn't even leave my side.

After, Steve and I wake up. Steve fixes me some dry toast and some ginger ale to help me keep things down. Before bed, I'll take another pill.

Tomorrow, I'll finish wrapping Steve's present. Right now, Steve and I are going to make a Costco run, and I want him to have the pizza and a hot fudge sundae. We go, and get water, pop, seltzer water, toilet paper, some more dog kibble, some wet food, and tons of potty pads. We also get the burgers, hot dogs, and the chicken to grill. We get two huge bags of chips, some muffins, some potato salad, tons of ears of corn, and we then pay for the purchase. I get some pizza and hot fudge sundaes for both me and Steve. Steve loves the pizza, and I'm actually able to keep something down. It feels nice to eat without throwing up after twenty minutes. Steve is amazed with the size of the store.

Phil is watching Coulson, and when we come back home, Phil and Coulson are having a nice game of fetch, even though Coulson is more invested in it than Phil.

Steve and Phil tell me to go inside, and put my feet up, and eat. I put the pizzas in the house, and I put the sundaes in the freezer. I take one quick look at the onesies, and they're dry. I'll wrap them up in the morning.

Steve and I have our dinner and our dessert, and we start to discuss names. Steve and I agree on James Joseph if I'm having a boy, and we agree on Sarah Anne if I'm having a girl. Luckily, it's a boy. Steve is giving me a foot rub while I read my book. I fall asleep, and Steve carries me to the bedroom, and puts me in bed.

I wake up earlier than Steve. I have to pee, so I open the tests, and I take them. I cap them, and wait the three minutes to see the results. It's clearly positive, so I put the test back in the box, tape it back up, and I put it with Steve's present. I even wrap up the onesies, and put them in their properly colored packages. One package is blue, and the other package is pink. I place each bootie in the packages. One pair is pink and the other pair is white, and one pair is blue and the other pair is white. I put the onesies in the package, and I'll present them when we're ready to celebrate Steve's birthday after we have dinner.

Coulson follows me everywhere. He even follows me to the kitchen, where I make myself a piece of dry toast and some tea. Steve wakes up, and fixes himself some coffee.

"Good morning, doll," says Steve.

"Good morning Captain Handsome," I say.

"Still not feeling better?" says Steve.

"I will by September," I say.

"You mean, you have to wait this out," says Steve.

"For the most part, and I need to take my anti-nausea meds," I say.

Steve and I take Coulson for his morning walk. I make myself some peppermint tea. That helps my nausea, and Steve carries the poop bags. We come back, and I sleep for a bit. Later, Agent Coulson and Tony come over to help me set up. Pepper and I spend time together, but not without me throwing up at a few points. I take another anti-nausea pill.

The cookout goes well. Everyone is here

I present Steve with the packages, and he looks at me, in confusion, but gives me a knowing wink. He then opens the packages and removes the onesies. He then opens the envelope, and he sees the ultrasound. He puts his hand on my stomach, and gives me a loving kiss.

Everyone gathers around this small photo, and congratulates the both of you. Even Phil, who helped named Coulson.

Everyone leaves when all is said and done. Steve and I are so looking forward to this next chapter. Now with Coulson, our rescue dog, makes everything even better, and we have a lot more to look forward to. I think Coulson chose us, we didn't choose him. I chose Steve as my husband, and I chose Steve to be the father to our baby.

Steve and I fall in love even more.

The Perfect Blend of Elegance and Simplicity: 10k White Gold Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Halo Engagement Ring & Minimalist Accent Wedding Ring for Women

When it comes to finding the perfect engagement and wedding rings, many brides today are drawn to designs that balance classic elegance with modern simplicity. Enter the 10k White Gold Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Halo Engagement Ring paired with a Minimalist Accent Wedding Ring—a combination that exudes both timeless beauty and contemporary charm.

Why Lab Grown Diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds are quickly becoming a favorite among eco-conscious brides. These diamonds are created in controlled environments, offering the same sparkle, brilliance, and durability as natural diamonds—but without the ethical concerns associated with mining. Choosing a lab grown diamond means you’re getting a sustainable, conflict-free gem that shines just as bright as any natural stone.

Cushion Cut: A Classic with a Modern Twist

The Cushion Cut diamond is known for its rounded corners and larger facets that create a soft, elegant glow. It’s a cut that combines the best of both worlds: vintage charm with a modern edge. The cushion cut has a rich history, but its versatility and ability to enhance a diamond's brilliance make it a favorite for today’s engagement rings.

Halo Setting: More Sparkle, More Impact

What sets this ring apart is the Halo setting, where a circle of smaller diamonds surrounds the center cushion cut diamond, adding even more sparkle. This not only enhances the overall appearance of the center stone, making it look larger, but it also gives the ring a stunning, multi-dimensional effect. The halo is perfect for brides who want a bit of glamour without being overly bold.

10k White Gold: Sleek and Durable

The 10k White Gold band offers a polished and sleek look that beautifully complements the sparkle of the diamond. White gold has a cool, refined appearance that pairs well with any style, making it a great option for brides who prefer a minimalist aesthetic. Plus, the durability of 10k gold ensures that your ring will withstand the test of time—just like your love.

The Minimalist Accent Wedding Ring: Effortlessly Chic

To complete the set, the Minimalist Accent Wedding Ring offers a clean, simple design that pairs effortlessly with the halo engagement ring. This band is perfect for brides who want something understated yet elegant. Its simplicity enhances the boldness of the engagement ring, creating a harmonious balance between the two pieces.

Why This Set is Perfect for You

This ring combination is perfect for the modern bride who values both tradition and style. The 10k White Gold Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Halo Engagement Ring gives you that classic, sparkling engagement ring look, while the Minimalist Accent Wedding Ring keeps things simple and sophisticated.

If you’re a bride who loves sustainable choices, timeless elegance, and understated luxury, this duo is the perfect way to celebrate your love.

The Timeless Beauty of a Cushion Cut Lab Grown Three Stone Engagement Ring

When it comes to selecting an engagement ring, brides today are not only looking for beauty, but also meaning, sustainability, and a unique design that speaks to their personal love story. One ring that perfectly embodies these qualities is the Cushion Cut Lab Grown Three Stone Engagement Ring. This stunning piece is the epitome of classic elegance combined with modern values, making it a beautiful choice for the ethical bride.

Why Cushion Cut?

The cushion cut is a timeless diamond shape that has been loved for centuries. Its soft, pillow-like shape gives it a romantic and vintage-inspired appearance. The rounded edges and larger facets maximize the diamond’s brilliance, offering a sparkle that is both elegant and eye-catching. It’s a perfect choice for women who want a mix of classic charm with a touch of modern sophistication.

The Significance of the Three Stone Design

A three stone engagement ring is more than just a beautiful piece of jewelry. The three stones traditionally represent the past, present, and future of your relationship—symbolizing the journey you’ve taken together and the love you’ll continue to share. This adds a deeply sentimental value to the ring, making it a perfect choice for brides who want their ring to reflect their love story.

Why Choose Lab Grown Diamonds?

In recent years, lab grown diamonds have become increasingly popular, and for good reason. These diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds but are created in a lab under controlled conditions. This process not only results in stunningly beautiful diamonds but also eliminates the environmental and ethical concerns associated with traditional diamond mining.

Lab grown diamonds offer the same sparkle and durability as natural diamonds but with a cleaner, more sustainable origin. Choosing a lab grown diamond for your three stone ring ensures that your jewelry not only looks good but also aligns with your values.

The Beauty of a Three Stone Solitaire Ring

The Three Stone Solitaire Ring takes the timeless beauty of a solitaire setting and enhances it with two additional stones, adding depth and brilliance to the overall look. The simplicity of the solitaire allows each cushion cut diamond to shine while maintaining a classic elegance. For women who want a sophisticated, meaningful ring that stands out, the three stone solitaire is an excellent choice.

A Symbol of Modern Love

The Cushion Cut Lab Grown Three Stone Engagement Ring is more than just a piece of jewelry—it’s a symbol of your love, commitment, and values. Choosing lab grown diamonds not only supports a sustainable and ethical jewelry industry but also reflects your desire for a meaningful and responsible lifestyle. This ring perfectly combines the beauty of traditional craftsmanship with the ethical responsibility of the future.

Perfect for Bridal and Wedding Jewelry

Whether you’re choosing an engagement ring, a wedding band, or a special anniversary gift, the Lab Grown Wedding Bridal Ring is a thoughtful choice for the modern bride. Its timeless design ensures it will never go out of style, while its lab grown diamonds make it a symbol of love that’s rooted in sustainability.

Final Thoughts

For brides who value beauty, ethics, and elegance, the Cushion Cut Lab Grown Three Stone Engagement Ring is an ideal choice. With its romantic cushion cut, meaningful three stone design, and eco-friendly lab grown diamonds, this ring is a perfect reflection of your love and your commitment to a better future. Whether for an engagement, wedding, or special occasion, this ring will be cherished for a lifetime.

Choose a ring that tells your unique love story—one that celebrates the past, present, and future while also making a positive impact on the world. 💍✨

2. Stackable Rings: Stackable wedding bands allow for personalization and versatility. Couples can mix and match different styles, metals, and diamond shapes to create a unique look. This trend encourages creativity and can evolve over time, with new rings added for anniversaries or significant milestones.

3. Mixed Metals: Combining different metals, such as rose gold, white gold, and platinum, is a popular trend for wedding bands. Lab-grown diamonds look stunning in any metal, and mixing metals adds a contemporary and personalized touch. This style allows couples to blend their individual tastes into a cohesive and elegant design.

4. Custom Engravings: Personalized engravings inside the band add a sentimental touch to wedding rings. Messages, initials, or significant dates make the rings uniquely meaningful. With lab-grown diamonds, couples can invest in these custom details without compromising on the quality or size of the diamonds.

Anniversary and Fashion Rings

1. Three-Stone Rings: Three-stone rings, representing the past, present, and future, are a popular choice for anniversaries. Lab-grown diamonds offer a cost-effective way to feature larger stones in this meaningful design. The combination of different diamond shapes and sizes can create a unique and eye-catching ring.

Lab-grown diamonds provide an ethical and affordable option for these stunning pieces, making high-end fashion more accessible.
