jackie taylor x fem!reader picnic date drabble !!!

“surprise!” jackie exclaimed, revoking her hands from your eyes and revealing a picnic set up. it was coming up to your one year anniversary and jackie wanted to do something.. different for it. “oh my gosh, jackie! it’s so beautiful,” you told her with a smile, admiring the set up of fruits, chocolates, sandwiches, all the works. she smiled at you, sitting down on the blanket, “yeah, i’m kind of a genius at setting up dates.”

you rolled your eyes lightheartedly and sat opposite her, “i had no idea where you were taking me. i thought you were gonna murder me and leave me in this field,” you chuckled out.” her eyebrows creased in concern, “you think i’d do that? wow, you don’t like me all that much, do you?” she asked you jokingly, cracking open a bottle of wine, hidden in the picnic basket.

“i decided that because our one year is coming up i wanted to do something special,” she said with a small smile, pouring you a glass. you nodded along, taking a sip of the wine, burning your throat as it went down, “are you proposing?” you asked sarcastically. “pfft- what? no..” she answered, making a faux uncomfortable face, “i know we don’t often do anything quiet like this, so i thought it’d be nice to admire the sunset and eat berries and drink wine for the first time together.”

you smiled at her as you sipped the wine, “you’re so thoughtful, you know.” she nodded, “i know! everyone takes me for granted, when i disappear into thin air one day.. no one’s gonna know what to do.” she poured her own glass and began sipping from it, too, “we’ve got strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, milk chocolate, white chocolate, some kind of cheese, wine, small sandwiches.. maybe there’s something i’m forgetting.”

you paused, in thought for a moment. jackie had the whole set up, what could she be missing? “nope. i’ve got all of it,” she reached into the basket and pulled out a bottle of apple juice, “to sober us up, if needed,” she winked at you. you began picking at the assortment, popping a few blueberries into your mouth, the taste covering your tongue as you popped them.

“it’s such a nice evening,” you began, “how long have you been planning this?” she shrugged, pouting, “here and there. i dabble occasionally in watching the weather.” you nodded, chuckling, “ahhh, i see.”

you watched her as she bit into a strawberry, the juice quickly running down her chin and staining her striped blue sweater, “shit,” she mumbled, “loved this sweater.” you dismissed it, “it’s okay, i can buy you a new one.” she shook her head, swallowing the strawberry, “it’s vintage.” oh. “oh. well, duh! i knew that..”

she looked at you with a hint of concern, “really?” you shook your head, taking a bite of a sandwich, your words coming out muffled, “mmmno.” she giggled, “you don’t know anything about fashion, do you?” you shook your head again, slightly embarrassed.

“it’s okay,” she reassured you, “i didn’t know much about fashion either, Rachel Greene taught me.” you frowned, your eyebrows knitting together, “as in the girl from Friends?” “mhm! she’s a fashion icon, seriously.”

you finished up your glass of wine and motioned to her to pour you another, “already? didn’t know you were a heavy weight.” you shrugged, “you’ve seen me at parties, jackie.” she nodded, she couldn’t argue with that. you could hold your damn liquor.

you broke off a piece of chocolate and waved it towards jackie teasingly, “i know it want it, jackieee.” she rolled her eyes back at you, “come on! just gimme it.” you shook your head, biting your lip playfully, “nuh-uh, you gotta ask nicely.” she sighed dramatically and made a jump for you, glass in hand, spilling the alcohol on the grass, the blanket and the pair of you.

you gasped, “oh my gosh, jackie!” she began laughing loudly, “oh my god! i didn’t mean that!” she stared at you, her mouth agape in shock. “we’re both gonna have to get new clothes, our parents will kill us if they smell the wine on us,” you stated, still shocked. “i know! oh my god, that was hilarious! i thought i could redeem this sweater but i guess not,” she shrugged, smirking. “we’re still eating all of this, right?” you asked, clearly not wanting anything to go to waste.”

“obviously!” she exclaimed, “you think i spent all of this money on snacks for nothing?” she picked up her own, almost empty wine glass, after throwing it astray on the grass, “cheers to no pregnancy scares!” you glared at her, picking up your glass, “cheers, you absolute dork.”

Day two: Contemporary

Ao3

Kurt wasn’t supposed to be baking today. Sure, it was Black Friday and he could’ve been up at 3 am and gone with Rachel and her new boyfriend to line up outside of some store. But frankly the deals being dished out aren’t the same as his childhood. Where is his 75% off televisions, America? Long gone are the days of waking his dad up to go to the mall on Black Friday. The sales just aren’t worth it when you can get a much better price thrifting or learning to sew your own clothes, which is exactly what Kurt has been doing since he got his sewing machine. Ironically, one of his last Black Friday purchases when he turned 16.

Plus, cooking Thanksgiving dinner is exhausting. Rachel is little to no hope in the kitchen. Kurt even cooked tofurkey for her and a small real turkey for himself. All Rachel added to the meal was a store brought pie; “Kurt the little grocery up the block is so cute!”

So, he wasn’t supposed to be baking but the apartment was empty and he was putting off writing an article for his internship at Trend-Z, a fashion magazine trying to appeal to the younger generations. This week’s topic “Fashions of Old Yore in the Contemporary World” was supposed to be a transitional piece from everyday wear to holiday. But Kurt doesn’t believe simply using the word “yore” makes it holiday themed.

Anyway, he’s baking and avoiding. The oven is well heated and his first batch of Christmas shaped sugar cookies actually look like trees and reindeer; a huge improvement over last year’s dicks and blobs.

It’s nearing 3pm when Rachel and Charlie (the new boyfriend) emerge from her bedroom. They came back from shopping around noon and gone straight back to bed but not without stealing a fresh sugar cookie.

“Good you’re up!” Kurt says, “try this.”

He hands her a spoonful of batter.

“New recipe?” Charlie asks.

“Experiment more like it,” Rachel replies, “needs less flour and I think you should add honey.”

“We don’t have any honey.”

She shrugs unhelpfully.

“I can run to the store,” Charlie offers.

Kurt shakes his head but is grateful for the offer. He kinda hopes Charlie sticks around because he’s the nicest of his roommate’s boyfriends thus far.

“I’ll go, just do me a favor and take the cookies out of the oven when the timer goes off in seven minutes.”

Charlie salutes him.

That’s how Kurt ends up doing a little shopping on Black Friday. Hopefully the grocery stores aren’t full of crazies.

Speaking of crazies, Rachel texts him the minute he steps into the store.

Rach: can you please get me heat protective spray I just ran out

Rach: oh and dental floss!

Rach: and apples! I think the ones in the fridge are bad

Kurt tells her “sure thing” and puts his phone in his back pocket. It vibrates again while he grabs a basket. This time it’s her boyfriend.

Charlie: Rachel is also requesting semi-sweet chocolate chips for the experimental cookies. But didn’t want to bug you again

He rolls his eyes but replies back that chocolate chips were already on his mental list.

Lining his items up makes Kurt realize just how bizarre they are: semi-sweet chocolate chips, flour, heavy cream, honey, apple sauce, apples, dental floss, heat protective spray, orange juice, and lemons.

He barely looks at the cashier, slightly worried to see his reaction to such items but the cashier, name tag says Blaine, starts up a casual conversation with him. Having worked in retail himself, Kurt knows how rough the job can be especially after a holiday so he’s polite and keeps up the conversation.

It’s nice to talk to someone new. It’s easy and over a little too quickly. Plus, Blaine is unarguably adorable.

Kurt wishes he wasn’t worried about cookies burning in his oven or maybe he could’ve asked Blaine when his shift ended and if he liked coffee.

Episode 1 season 1 A very beautiful day

Ok so now that everyone got to know the people and peaceville so this is the first season and first episode of the 1950s family life I'm going to try my very hardest so enjoy also no copyrighting or reposting without my permission so please do enjoy

It starts with a beautiful morning in the Henderson House Jacqulyn Henderson wakes up with a smile on her face she gets up and stretches and tiptoes to the kitchen without waking her husband or her children up.

When she got to the kitchen she prepared everyone's breakfast she made pancakes bacon eggs orange juice apple juice milk toast and some fruit and also prepared baby food for her twin babies the smell of the breakfast woke everyone up with a good mood, when everyone went to the dining room they saw that everything was on the table ready to be eaten and enjoyed. While everyone was eating George and his wife put Zoe and Emmett in high chairs so George and Jacqulyn can feed Zoe and Emmett with the mushed up baby food that has breast milk in it. after everyone got done eating and putting their dishes in the sink everyone went to there bedrooms to get dressed Jacqulyn and George got Zoe and Emmett dressed.

A few minutes later

Everyone was already dressed Rachel and Liam Victoria and Andrew Abby and Max were already at their schools and Zoe and Emmett were at daycare George and Jacqulyn we're already driving to work at George's office. When they got to the office everyone said hi to them they said hi back and went to their office room and sat at both their desks. When they got finished with their work it was lunch time luckily Jacqulyn brought not only hers but her husband's lunch to work as well when they started eating their lunch George complimented his wife on making a really good lunch of course it was leftovers from last night. When they got done eating their lunch they went back to work while they were working it started to rain outside both George and Jacqulyn were both shocked and a little disappointed because they wanted to take their kids out to the park maybe next time they thought but they continue to work.

A few hours later

George and Jacqulyn headed back home safely and are now at their house staying warm and dry waiting for their children to come home from school today Zoe and Emmett are taking a nap in their room in their cradles after being picked up from their parents today. When the rest of the children came home from school they told their parents the kind of day they had today. A few hours later after supper everyone was getting ready for bed and brushing their teeth after everyone did that the kids headed to the living room George was in there with a Bible for kids George put on his reading glasses and began to read Daniel's 3 to his children when the story ended he told his kids to never give up on God and to never lose faith when it was bedtime everyone headed off to bed.

A few moments later

George and Jacqulyn were in their shared bed reading their books when George looked at the time he told his wife it was bedtime they had a big day tomorrow his wife agreed and they put their books away and George took his reading glasses off put them on the nightstand next to him and turn off his lamp his wife turned off her lamp they both lay down and they both kissed each other passionately saying good night to each other and they fell right to sleep until the next day or they'll have a wonderful happy day they hope that it'll be sunny tomorrow

(German below/Deutsch unten) Some kitchen witchcraft: One of my favorite drinks in Winter Mulled juice (alcohol-free alternative to mulled wine) For four mugs: 500 ml apple juice 500 ml red grape juice add a pinch of some grounded spices: cinnamon cardamom star anise clove nutmeg You can also use a spice blend, e.g. for gingerbread or pumpkin pie spice Mix the spices with the juices and heat (do not boil). Serve warm in mugs. As the spices and juice have magical properties, you can also use this drink for spells or rituals. I can recommend "A Kitchen Witch's World of Magical Foods" by Rachel Patterson to look up the magical properties. Or take a look at this blog of hers: https://www.rachelpatterson.co.uk/single-post/spice-up-your-life-working-magic-with-spices --- Ein bisschen Küchenmagie: Eines meiner Lieblingsgetränke im Winter Glühsaft (alkoholfreie Alternative zu Glühwein) Für vier Becher: 500 ml Apfelsaft 500 ml roter Traubensaft jeweils eine Prise einiger gemahlener Gewürze hinzufügen: Zimt Kardamom Sternanis Nelke Muskatnuss Du kannst auch eine Gewürzmischung verwenden, z. B. Lebkuchengewürz. Die Gewürze mit den Säften mischen und erhitzen (nicht kochen). Warm in Bechern servieren. Da die Gewürze und der Saft magische Eigenschaften haben, kannst du dieses Getränk auch für Zaubersprüche oder Rituale verwenden. Ich kann "A Kitchen Witch's World of Magical Foods" von Rachel Patterson empfehlen, um die magischen Eigenschaften nachzuschlagen.

Rachel moaned, as she awoke soaking wet, running her hands through her hair.

For the third day this week, she was just soaking in her own sweat as she awoke with no memory of her nightmare, no memory of what was going on. This habit was beginning to scare her, as she sat up looking around her room.

The soft purple fairy lights lit up the side of her bedroom, with a soft glow as she noticed nothing had changed. Her room was just the way it was before she went to bed, the night before when Dick read her to sleep. Watching over her other symptoms of not being able to keep food down, gagging at anything offered to her to drink.

Dick told her it was just the flu, or some stomach bug, but he had taken some blood today in hopes of getting a better understanding of what was wrong with her, since the symptoms were getting worse instead of better.

Tonight she was thirsty, something new to add to the list. Reaching for the water at her bedside, it did nothing for her thrust, as she looked around confused.

Maybe a walk to the kitchen for some juice would help, she decided as she attempted to get out of bed, slipping as she lost her balance. She didn't realize how dizzy she had been, but it made sense since she couldn't eat anything.

She stumbled to her door, smiling at herself in success, as she leaned against the door frame, using it to keep her up right. She walked down the hallway, leaning heavily on the wall, only making it a few feet before she fell to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.

"Ma." Gars bedroom door opened as he flew to her side, kneeling down. "Mama, are you okay, what are you doing outta bed baby?"

"I want juice." She had no energy to fight with him, she just wanted a drink.

"Why didn't you just call one of us? The call bell was right beside you?" Gar rubbed her arm gently, "You're freezing, Mama, we gotta get you back to bed and get Dick and Kori."

"Juice." She was so thirsty, anything would do at this point.

"Let me take you to bed, I'll get your juice." Gar spoke with concern, pulling her in for a hug, as he rubbed her back.

"Juice."

"Mama you're freezing." Gar rubbed her arms, holding her close, as if to protect her.

"Please, I am so thirsty." She looked up to him begging, as he picked her up, placing her head up by his shoulder. Suddenly, something smelt good, she could smell the freshness of life and light. She ran her nose into his neck, rubbing it gently as she found herself moaning.

"Rea, I don't mind the loving, but you're sick." Gar spoke as he lay her back on the hospital bed. "Let me get an IV in you, where did your other one go?"

"So thirsty." She whimpered, holding onto his hand.

"Let me check your blood sugar. Call Dick and Kori" Gar asked gently, as he kissed her hand. "This isn't right."

As he moved away, so did the feeling of safety and love, she felt cold, as she rolled into herself crying gently.

"Dick- med bay, Rachel's acting strange."

Rachel cried softly, as Gar returned.

"Little stab, let's see your blood sugar." Gar told her, as he pinched her finger to gather the blood.

Rachel watched as the red liquid bubbles up for the small pin pick, for some reason all she could smell was herself, vanilla and lavender.

"It's low, but we can't get you to eat." Gar smiled, brushing her hair gently. "Okay, this IV will help, can you handle one more poke?"

Rachel nodded, as Gar fixed her up, kissing her bandaid afterwards.

"What's going on Gar?" Dick walked into the room. "I brought some juice."

"Rachel isn't right, Dick." Gar spoke gently. "I don't think it's Raven, but she's not-"

"Take a breath." Dick spoke gently, comforting Gar. "You're thirsty, baby?".

Rachel nodded, as Dick moved to her side.

"Don't get angry if you throw it up, we are calling in a doctor tomorrow."

Rachel reached for the glass, simple apple juice her favorite.

"Take a drink, baby girl." Dick sat down beside her, helping her sit up.

Rachel almost gagged, as it was brought to her mouth, it smelt like someone had pissed into it.

"It's just juice baby, I swear." Dick coached her, rubbing her back.

It even tasted like piss, as she threw the glass, breaking down with a scream before Dick wrapped his arms around her, rocking her gently.

"Why did you feed me piss?" She hit him with her fist, crying in frustration.

"Baby, I wouldn't do that." Dicks hands were in her hair, petting her.

"I am so thirsty and you gave me piss." She screamed, as she punched his gut.

"Mama, no, Daddy didn't." Gar spoke as she growled at him in rage.

"You sure this isn't Raven?" Dick asked Gar as she growled at them.

"Mama, it's okay." Gar reached for her hand, as she growled at him, slapping his hand away. "No no, you don't get to slap at me."

Gar wasn't angry with his words, but he was stren, as he took her hand.

"Rachel, we don't slap." Gar reminded her, as he took her hand wrapping both of his around it. "We use our words, what do you need?"

"I am so thirty." She screamed as Gar wrapped his arms around her pulling her close.

The smell of love life was back, as she buried her nose into his neck. She wanted so much more.

"Rea, Dick is in the room- ah!"

She could taste life as she bit into his neck, her mouth filled with the sweetest of flavor.

It was everything she would ever want, sweet and savory as it filled her mouth, before she was pulled away.

"Mama, what?" Gar looked to her shocked, as she placed a hand over his mouth and went back to her feeding. "Dick?"

"Right." There was a movement around the room, before something plastic replaced the warm feeling of Gar's vain in her mouth. It was cool, and bitter like her favorite lemonade.

"Okay..." Gar spoke with shook, as she felt confusion from both men.

"Maybe it's a demon thing?" Dick sounded like he shrugged, as Rachel closed her eyes drinking from the bag heavily.

"Demons drink blood?" Gar sounded adorable, like she wasn't in his arms drinking away at the bag as Dick squeezed it for her.

"Well if you know anything about demons that you're not sharing with us." Dick teased back.

"Is it helping?" Gar asked gently, kissing her cheek.

She felt warmth, and love, and full of life, as she looked back to him and smiled gently.

"Your colors are coming back." Dick noticed, as he petted her bangs out of her eyes.

"She's warming up too." Gar spoke, as he rubbed her back.

"Keep drinking baby." Dick cooed down to her, placing the straw in her mouth.

"My girlfriends a vampire." Gar started to laugh, as he rubbed her back. "Demonic Vampire."

Rachel just melted into his warmth, allowing herself to relax in his hold as she finished the bag of blood. She felt fully relaxed, like she had drunk a whole bottle of Kori's wine. Her eyes were growing heavy as she sighed in content.

"Good luck with that Gar." Dick laughed at him, as she closed her eyes leaning down into Gars chest listening to his heartbeat.

"I don't think I need it, she is stronger than all of us." Gar rubbed her back, kissing her head.

"I'll ask Bruce what I can do about bleed feedings, maybe we can start giving her more of a raw diet." Dicks hands went through her hair.

"What if she eats me?"

"You were a good son." Dick laughed, kissing Gars forehead.

Rachel: Hey, Nor!

Nora: Don't talk to me.

Rachel: Why? What did I do?

Nora: Last night, you were so drunk, you got my iPad and put it in the blender.

Rachel: Really?

Nora: Yeah. You said you were making apple juice.
