"As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be"-

Love you Forever, by Robert Munsch

🌌🥀🕯🪹🌸🕊✨️🫲🙂‍↕️🫱✨️🪽🌷🪺🕯💐🌌

"Jim you're crazy!"

Copia said, wringing out the dish towel and smacking it on the counter.

Jim's face twisted, "Copia how else do we get to make this happen. I can't make Milagro do this."

"Well you can't make me either, we dont even know if this one will take." Copia said bitterly as he moved to try and leave the kitchen again.

This time, Jim caught Copia's arm in a firm yet gentle grip, pulling him close, his embrace speaking volumes...

Jim wanted to find another surrogate, but try and use Milagros frozen eggs. But so much doubt had been cast over the little family, kt all seemed so hopeless...

*The pain of heartache is long remembered and never forgotten*

Copia squeezed his eyes, "Your going to get dish water all over your shirt." Copia grumbled. Jim shook his head and tilted Copia's chin to look at him, no fussing, and nothing else mattering more in the world than his love, "Baby, I don't know and I don't care how. I sold my eternity to bring that child from the other side for her. And for us. I have faith the deal will hold. For ll be damned to ever stop trying, " Jim said firmly.

Copia felt tears well in his eyes as he tried to fuss over Jim's shirt, uselessly attempting to pat-dry it with the already dampened dish towel. His lip quivered and his voice was shaky as he felt the hurt and sadness run deeper, felt the lost hope and hurt break through his bleeding heart...

*Millie had lost the last baby...it was no one's fault, though she blamed herself and the "poor quality" of the last of her eggs saved before the chemo... and yet even in remission, the IVF had failed. It just didn't take the way it should have. Their plan had failed. And despite the joy of a heartbeat one day, it had been gone the next. She had grieved and cried with Copia and Jim, who had held her and each other through it all. She loved them. She wanted to give them the life the three of them wanted, but mostly, she wanted to have their baby. She wasn't just a surrogate. She was family. She was the woman they both adored. And the thought of one of her children out in the world, that she would never get to see grow to look a little like her and the men she loved wirh all her heart, made her loose any want to perhaps have her heart broken again...

*The last loss had been the very last try... and it had broken Copias heart. It had crushed Jim's happiness. It had stolen Milagros sunshine away.*

"Oh Jimmy, what did you do?" Copia trembled, trying to sniff back his sobs in vain. Jim began to cry. He held Copia tight. Tighter than ever before and broke down with him...

* The deal with a devil came with a steep price...for one soul isn't equal to another. And the unborn life had cost Jim his own. A blooded vampire - who, unlike Copia, will now not live out his forever. He may age slowly. He may yet live longer than a human's mortal lifetime. But eventually, his time would be up...*

While Copia held onto his husband for dear life, Jim was trying to hold himself and Copia together in his strong arms, tendons pushing out, his teeth gritted as he wept bitterly...

The little one they had hoped for, had been lost to them. And Jim had done his impossible part, and paid the ultimate price to try and bring that little soul back...

Months passed, and Milagro faded more and more. She was a shaddow of herself, thinning and barely able to stand. She had wanted her little one so badly. She had wanted to feel life within her, after so many times, so many losses, so many years, the hole in her heart had just gotten too big...

*And one cannot pour from an empty cup*

The damage to her, as a mortal vessel of life, had done its due diligence, and made her loose part of herself...

She wouldn't be able to carry the embryos again... and so they sat frozen in time waiting, and waiting...

Until one day...

***

Copia wrung his hands as he spoke with Milagro in private, "Millie, you've sacrificed so much. You deserve to have the feeling of at least being involved. I don't want you to give up on that. I don't want to lose you too, " he hitched. She had become so fragile and frail... she had been sick for so long. And time was running out... the cancer was back. And it was very unlikely she would live longer than another year. And to think his Milagro would so soon be taken from him without a little of her left to grow and flourish in the world, was killing him.

Milagro looked at Copia, her expression worn and tired. She gazed a long time at the flowers by her table...after a long silence, only broken my Copias, soft weeping into the blankets on her lap, the faintest light crept into her eyes. The knowledge of Jim's sacrifice and her own suffering, she knew, she had to let it go... she had to give up on her own dreams. She had to give them to someone else while there was still time to see them come true.

But it was worth the price. She stood and gently padded towards copia in the opposite chair and cupped his face in her hands, "Your brother found a way. And so will we. And I'll be here for your every step,' she said softly, smoothing his locks of hair, "I want you to do it... I want you to do this. For all of us. For me. Please." She hushed, brushing her lips against his brow, and cradling his head to her chest, "I love you so much... we deserve our hapiness while we can still keep it... Take them" she said firmly, "No matter what it takes...we deserve our litrle one back".

He wrapped his arms around her as she spoke. He was frightened, grateful, anxious, and determined...

"It will take. It will work, " he prayed over and over as he held her, "It will work, and we will have our happiness again." He whispered urgently. And for the first time in many months, Milagro closed her eyes, and with the sun streaming into the blue shaddows of her room, she hugged Copia tighter, and smiled.

***

With the help of his brothers, and the finest of the ministry physicians, scholars of the dark arts, and risky apothecary magic, under a new moon the trio came together, to defy whatever stood in their way.

*For not even death can overcome true love. And what truer love is there than that of those who would give all they had, for a single pearl of hope, having faith in their gods, who would decide if they would be smiled upon one more time...*

***

Copia waited at the dining table in his and Jims apartments. Milagro was in another room down the hall. The ritual had taken a toll on her too, but she was stronger, with purpose, she had found the strength to endure... her status as one who is a vessel for life, had been transferred. And Copia would now be 'the bearer' of their child.

As Milagro lay resting in her quarters, Jim was rushing up a set of marble stairs leading towards the 'New Emeritus' wing of the ministry, his black leather shoes sliding on the smooth carpet of the halls in the upper tower. He had been in the gardens with Primo, collecting flowers to fashion a boquete to gift to Copka, when he received the news...

Copia had taken two tests. And one was positive...

Jim burst through the door, the flowers bobbing in his hand as he skid to a sudden halt. Copia stood up, and with sureness in his stride not seen in so long, crossed over, and pulled the flowers from Jim's hands, hugged his neck. Jim, still stunned and breathing hard, took a second to get back to reality. He hugged copia and in his ear whispered, "Is this real, please tell me this is real." he whispered harshly, eyes wide, staring at the little white and blue sticks laid neatly on a napkin on the table.

"Copia pulled back and looked deeply into Jim's eyes, his eyes moist and his tearful expression, rosy with joy, "We're pregnant Jim dear".

"Say it again" Jim whispered, cupping Copia's face in his hands, his eyes pleading.

Copia took a steadying breath, "We are going to have Milagros baby. I'm going to be a Papa, Jimmy...and you are going to be, a Daddy.

Jim was stunned a moment and Copia was patient to let the moment sink in.

Jim leaped froward, spinning Copia in his arms as he whooped and hollared, Copia laughing loudly in response as they smothered each other in a flurry of kisses and praise.

Their celebratory cheers echoed down the hall, and in her room, Milagro's eyes fluttered open as she smiled, finding warmth and peace in her heart. She had done it. They all had...

Her child, the soul unborn, and Copia, it's bearer. The ritual had worked. All their love and hope, all their faith, had finally been enough; They would finally have the family they always wanted. And all of them would get to live forever more.

It took less than a minute for 'the boys' to burst into her room with the flowers and crowd around her to tell her the big news. When she began to hold her head in some pain, Copia and Jim quieted down from their excited chattering.

Jim insisted on tossing Copia in bed with Milagro, fussing and pampering the both of them as he clucked, much to Milagro and Copias amused giggles and playful swatting.

The trio talked the whole afternoon into the wee hours of the next morning, looking up names, planning and scheduling appointments (as this whole affair would need to be private. Playfully they nicknamed their happy little scheme "Junior" like that one movie)

And as they made wishlists online and went over everything they could possibly think of, they lay together in Milagros big bed. After what was certainly past bedtime, the three got comfortable, stripping down to cuddle under the sheets, skin to skin, intimate and loving.

Yet as milagro tucked against Jim's bare chest, Jim threw an arm around her and Copia, with Copia snuggling Milagro as her big spoon. The men looked at one another im ansolute awe. Their faces full of love and emotion, they were in that beautiful bliss that follows what dreams may come, when they come true.

Jim kissed Milagros head and Copia dropped his hand to her waist, then leaned over to steal a kiss from his husband, and bestow a few more on the woman they both were so grateful and proud of.

*Blood and Water, had sealed their bond. And quietly inside of a small space in Copias body, cells were rapidly racing to become what these parents had given all they could for... to be their baby. And be their morning star to guide them into tomorrow...

Baby and the Bees: Rainbow 🌈

Blake: (early stages of pregnancy and fidgeting)

Yang: Babe, you okay?

Blake: I'm fine. I, uh, just need a second. Excuse me.(leaves the room)

Yang: (gets up to follow)

Kali: Ah-Ah (puts hamd on Yang’s arm) I got this. (Follows Blake to the balcony) What's wrong?

Blake: I don't... (puts hand on her belly) There's something wrong. There has to be. I've gotten too complacent, and everything is finally catching up with me-

Kali: Baby, what are you talking about?

Blake: There’s this fluttering. I don't know how to explain it, but it can't be normal, right?

Kali: Let me see.

Blake: (huffs a laugh) I didn't realize you were a doctor.

Kali: I'm not, but you weren't exactly the easiest pregnancy. (Places hand on Blake’s belly) Oh... sweetheart.

Blake: What? What is it? Is it bad?

Kali: No, baby girl. It's very good.

Blake: Elaborate before I have an aneurysm?

Kali: Sweetheart, your baby's kicking.

Blake: (gasps and cries happy tears while holding her belly) I-I have to go tell Yang.

Mazal tov! It's a girl! Baruch HaShem, we welcomed a baby girl to our family. Six months ago. 😬 I had a complicated pregnancy with severe IUGR, and she spent seven weeks in the NICU. She came home with a feeding tube but b"H it has been out since around Purim and she's been eating and gaining weight well.

I feel like things have been in hyper speed since she was born and time is flying by. I'm only just now feeling like I can catch my breath.

The 4yo and the 2yo are quite fond of the new baby and sibling bonding is going well.

Life Update

So we are TTC at the moment and things have not been going well. My periods have been all over the place since coming off of my pill back in April. I have two months that seemed normal (August and September) and then they went back to being a mess. A recent doctors consultation told me that they suspect PCOS or Polyps. Which was devastating to hear when trying for a baby. I now need to wait for a face-to-face appointment so that I can try and be referred for further tests.

I am trying not to stress about it as I know stress is also bad for fertility... but I am such an overthinker... and all I have ever wanted is to be a mum. So the thought of that not becoming a reality is so damn hard.

It’s not a bounce back

It’s a recovery

[anotherwellkeptsecret]

My husband and I are expecting a rainbow baby girl set to arrive late this summer. Those who experience loss use the term “rainbow baby” as a descriptor because the viable pregnancy is a miracle, and she most definitely is a miracle! <3

I am going to continue to update as usual and will only be taking a break upon delivery. I will be doing Patreon and commissions as a form of income, but stopping other freelance work so I can be a stay at home mom.

I will be updating later today! I have finally overcome the strep!

Breaking News: Tiffany is pregnant

Andddd boom. Tiffany and Lawson are expecting! Little Babe is due July 2024. They previously had a miscarriage around october of 2023

[p-ink-ink]

There’s an old wives tale that says if you wrap up a baby blanket, and put it underneath the Christmas tree, next year you’ll have a baby. I’m trying to be hopeful for my rainbow to arrive.

I’m so sorry you couldn’t be here to celebrate your first Christmas, Baby Avery. I hope you send your little sibling our way, my darling angel. Merry Christmas

[lavenderparadise]

I had previously made it clear that Niji is a rainbow baby (hence his name Niji means "Rainbow" in Japanese.)

For those who don't know: A rainbow baby is the baby that is born successfully, after a previous baby died either in an abortion or shortly after birth.

Hence the phrase: "After the storm, there is a rainbow around the corner." Rainbow babies symbolize the hope of parents after an event as sad as the loss of a baby.

Hanta and his wife were going to have a baby boy whom they would call "Yuuma" and he would have been born with his quirk activated, like his father's. However, the baby had to die before being born...

17w4days- feeling some cramping but dr assured us it’s just dehydration and the uterus growing.

Growing a human is so stressful 😭

Welcome to the family, little Sasha 🌈🩷

For context, Danna was abducted again soon before we fought the mother. However, she also did the nasty with Erwin that same night via Wicked Whims. I wasn't sure if her pregnancy was alien or not, so I waited until the baby was born to know. After what happened last time I don't care about following the 'Only babies by abduction' rule of the challenge, Danna deserves a healthy baby, no matter what sim species it is. Sasha likely won't be the heir, but I might play a side challenge with her in a seperate save once she gets older. So yeah,

❌ Have children only by alien abduction.
