Back for a few (~3) weeks, though lived here from the birth until the age of 25

NEIGHBORHOOD:

The South Side

OCCUPATION:

A tattoo artist at a local shop. She is not a member of the Devil’s Disciples, but her strong family ties to the MC.

GENDER, PRONOUNS & SEXUALITY:Ella is a ciswoman and uses she/her pronouns. She is bisexual and biromantic.

BACKGROUND:

Estrella’s childhood was full of the rumble of a motorcycle and the scent of engine oil, the wind in her hair on the back of her dad’s bike. Her formative days were ones filled with cigarette smoke, leather and patches with no bedtime to speak of. Little girls were supposed to be soft and gentle, lace and silk, but Ella was all hard edges and grit from the day she was born. Far from idyllic, home was the back of her daddy’s bike because that was the home they made. The club was family, and home was on the back of a bike with the wind in her hair. Estrella was raised within the Devil’s Disciples because her father was a member, and that was the only life she’d ever known: you live by the club and die by the club, and that was the lesson she clung to. That was what mattered, at the end of each and every day and that was really the only thing that struck home with her. Their family might be unconventional, but Ella would not have wanted it any other way. This was the life she was given, and it was the life she would have chosen for herself if given the option. Ella’s view of the club may have been through rose-colored-glasses considering how she was raised and considering how much she adored her father, though that didn’t matter to her. From the day she could walk and toddle after him, Ella was following in her father’s footsteps. She was ever the daddy’s girl, wanting to be just like him when she grew up and that expanded and grew as she did. She was covered in grease and engine oil from the time she was in pre-school, knew the steps to an oil change on her dad’s bike before she could write her name. It didn’t matter what she was doing so long as he was proud. School was never of interest, even from an early age: Ella’s attention span did not lend itself to ABCs or 123s, and focusing on lessons and memorization had never been her style. Ella had always been the type to learn with her hands, always had a need to be kept busy and moving or her interest would move on. In the case of school, that straying interest usually started with doodling on the edge of her paper with a soft reprimand from a teacher that would escalate to trouble. Trouble started with fidgeting and finding reasons to leave her seat, and escalated to being smart-mouthed and pulling hair to get her excused from class. The lectures she would inevitably receive from her mother (called from work, again, to come collect her) would make Ella temporarily sheepish (and later, she’d at least pretend to be), but at least at home she was free to draw and move about without redirection. Trouble in later years meant truancy, fighting, suspension, detention. In truth, she only finished school at her parents’ insistence that a high school degree would open opportunities for her that she wouldn’t have otherwise. Teenage rebellion had her spitting back that she didn’t want those opportunities, but well, even as a sassy teenager Ella couldn’t stand to disappoint her father.

Trouble in later years meant truancy, fighting, suspension, detention. In truth, she only finished school at her parents’ insistence that a high school degree would open opportunities for her that she wouldn’t have otherwise. Teenage rebellion had her spitting back that she didn’t want those opportunities, but well, even as a sassy teenager Ella couldn’t stand to disappoint her father. The theme of trouble seemed to follow her outside of school, sticking around like a bad rash and causing more headaches for parents. The trouble continued even after high school ended, and well, began to escalate. Late night phone calls from bars that should never have admitted her or from the police station became a common theme, and a slew of misdemeanors began to rack up before she’d even reached adulthood: petty theft, speeding and racing (on that bike her father had given her for her fifteenth birthday), drunk and disorderly,, trespassing and vandalism. The list grew and grew, though her father could never feign disappointment and anger for long: in the end, he would grin and shake his head because she was her father’s daughter. Ella had always liked to work with her hands, and art was an early interest that stuck with her through the ins-and-outs (mostly outs) of school and everything in-between. Doodling on papers to avoid doing work progressed into intricate sketches, and as she grew older the interest in art stayed consistent and grew. Art school temporarily crossed her mind, but well, she didn’t have the grades for that (and that was her own doing, her mother would remind her). Sketching on skin and in the holes of her jeans led to buying a crappy tattoo gun and practicing on herself and her friends for free, but getting an apprenticeship straight out of school seemed impossible. So she worked at a local diner, tattooed in her free time and set her sights on making something for herself, school be damned.

Life with the club remained. Ella was as involved as she could be without prospecting and patching in. The club was her family, always would be. You live and die by the club. And well, she saw that first hand. Her father, dead on the side of the road somewhere in an accident.. Ella had seen it on the news before she’d gotten the news from the police: the red and blue lights, strung out and blaring on the evening news report. Couldn’t be him. It just couldn’t be him, right? No, he’d be home soon and they’d laugh it off together. Ella left the funeral halfway through. Couldn’t take it. Couldn’t handle it. She’d always been her father’s daughter, so who the hell was she now? She was gone three months later, without a goddamn trace. She left behind just about everything, including the only life she’d ever known and everything she’d ever wanted for herself. Left her apartment only half-vacated, packed up only the essentials into her crappy tin can of a car and fucking split. She didn’t have a goal in mind, didn’t have a destination in mind. All Ella knew was she needed to leave, couldn’t fucking breathe at home anymore. No, all she wanted was to disappear. And the positive pregnancy test she’d popped before leaving only cemented her need to get the hell out and not look back. New York sounded nice, and well, she was used to living in a city. The shoebox apartment she got for herself was sketchy at best, but it was hers and it would work. It took her some time to decide what to do with the baby, but Luna Noelle was born on Christmas Eve and all at once Ella’s perspective of everything changed. As much as she missed home, missed her life, missed her family (the club, her mom, her siblings), she wouldn’t return. No, that little girl was her world now and Ella owed it to her to be better. She owed that baby a life that wasn’t the one that she’d been raised in. She owed that baby a life where her parents wouldn’t be found dead in a ditch on the side of the road. And so, Ella and Luna settled into New York. That shoebox apartment got smaller as Luna got bigger, but they made due. Art school was no longer a far-off dream, and Ella worked at a diner and took classes at night to make it work. A tattoo apprenticeship took up was little time was left in her days, and while she might be fucking exhausted she was doing what she set out to do: she was making a life for her and her daughter, come hell or high water. Home was still on her mind, and the tingle of guilt or regret or homesickness came at unexpected moments. It was less raw now, years later, though undeniably still there. She missed her family, missed her home, missed her bike. Luna’s childhood was not full of leather and patches (though admittedly some cigarette smoke) as her own had been, and while that was what Ella wanted there was still some sadness that her daughter would never know the club.

Until, as life would have it, things spun out of Ella’s control again: her mother was sick. Not little sick, big sick, and Ella found herself packing up that piece-of-shit-car that was still in her name and breaking the lease on her apartment to move back home. On the drive from Manhattan to Chicago, she told Luna all about how they would be staying at Abuela’s house, how Abuela would be so excited to see her instead of just speak to her on the phone, but inside Ella couldn’t help but feel conflicted. She’d left home, left everything she’d ever known behind, and now she was running right back to it. The long term game had never been clear (and well, she’d never been good at planning), but this hadn’t certainly not been on her five-year-plan. She’d worked so hard to provide for Luna, to keep her from the childhood she’d known. Ella had that thought firmly in her mind, as she moved back into her childhood bedroom and began her apartment search. She’d do better still, for Luna. But…well, Ella still was her father’s daughter.

I want to talk about my personal experiences with the whole pro life pro choice debate but Twitter isn’t a great outlet for a long form essay. So here we are.

I am alive because my mother had an abortion.

Yeah. Read that again. I exist today, because abortion was legal and safe and allowed for my mom.

My mom and dad met when they were teenagers. Instantly hit it off. Got married when they were 18 and 19, and they knew they wanted kids and my mom had my brother at 21.

He was planned and his pregnancy was rough for my mom, but his birth was easy compared to mine. So easy she was excited and ready for another child.

They wanted my brother’s sibling to be close in age range, maybe a year or two older. My parents both had siblings and the age gap between them was anywhere from 6 to 10+ years, so they both knew how different that experience was growing up.

My parents tried for their second child. My mom got pregnant. She was excited.

3 months later, she’s experiencing discomfort and nausea. Nothing uncommon with pregnancy. But then she started spotting, like she was on her period.

My mom’s pregnancy was ectopic. It had embedded into her Fallopian tube, and was beginning to cause bleeding. My moms only option was an abortion.

Abortion is the only option for ectopic pregnancy. You can’t re-implant the embryo. There is no such procedure in modern medicine that can fix an ectopic.

Thankfully that was an option for my mom. And her life was saved. She was devastated it happened. She kept the ultrasound photos and documents from the pregnancy. When I was old enough for her to share this with me, I looked at these photos. It deeply affected my mom even then, and I imagine it still does.

After a time, she got pregnant again, because she still wanted a child. And eventually I was born. My birth was awful though. It took 3 days of labor for me to be born. I was breached, should have been a C section, but I was too far along for that. My mom needed over 25 stitches from the tearing that happened during my birth. I was also unconscious, blue, and not breathing when I came out. My umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck and my right arm was above my head, tangled in the cord. I needed to be revived, but I was ok.

After that experience my mom decided ok that was enough of that, and had her tubes tied.

But if my mom hadn’t had the abortion before me? If she lived in a state that just banned abortion? My mom would have died, or been arrested. For something out of her control. For losing a baby she desperately wanted.

People of all walks of life will suffer from this decision. If you are against abortion, that’s your choice. That’s the choice you make for yourself, with your path walked.

Many people no longer have that choice. Sometimes the human body can make mistakes. Things happen out of our control. Even in situations where things aren’t unplanned or unwanted.

It angers me to no end. Back in high school I told this story to a class of people who were all pro life. Some of them changed their viewpoint after. No one had considered that abortion was a life saving procedure for some folks.

Everyone loves to demonize it. To weaponize and politicize it to oppress people and guilt them, and raise themselves up on a higher moral pedestal where they slut shame, degrade and humiliate people who don’t agree with them.

It’s disgusting. And I’m sickened that this is still an argument being made, that I have to fight about.

MFEEU! Second Generation Profiles 💕✨

↳ MFEEU! Tae Masterlist

↳ Link to Yoongi’s MFEEU one shot and Hoseok’s

The kids

Jin

↳ No children (he’s happy being a godfather!!)

Yoongi

↳ Yoona

Hoseok

↳ Seojoon

Namjoon

↳ Namgyu

Jimin

↳ Jihae

↳ Jihyun

Taehyung

↳ Haneul

↳ Haewon

Jungkook

↳ Minho

↳ Mina

(wow i just realised i gave the rapline all one kid and the maknaes two kids huh)

When they’re born:

first it’s Kim Haneul

↳ the next year is Kim Namgyu and Park Jihae

↳ the next year is Park Jihyun and Jeon Minho

↳ the next year Jung Seojoon

↳ the next year Jeon Mina and Kim Haewon

↳ and five years after that... Min Yoona

Profiles :)

Kim Haneul

Tae and his wife’s first child

The eldest of all the mfeeu kids

Very protective of all her younger siblings, especially Haewon

Minho has a crush on her for the loooongest time (she sees him as an annoying little brother)

Abuses her privilege as the eldest to get all of her dongsaengs to do whatever she wants (apart from Jihae)

She inherited her mother’s sincerity and tae’s determination

Her and Namgyu are like the only responsible ones

Taehyung is very happy leaving the business in her hands once she’s old enough

As she grows older she realises the special feelings she’s always felt towards Jihae are different than how she cares for her sister

She loves Haewon of course, but with Jihae it’s different. She wants to always take care of her, spend every minute with her, kiss her.

They start dating when Jihae turns 15. both Jimin and Jihyun tell her she better take care of Jihae or else. Haneul has no intention to do anything other than that.

Kim Namgyu

Namjoon and his darling’s first and only child

Strict with all of his dongsaengs but would let Mina get away with murder

He’d probably help her with it tbh

Haneul’s right hand man, slated to help her with the business once he’s older

He inherited his father’s intellect. He helps all his dongsaengs in their lil homeschool lessons and once he’s finished his work he’ll leave the classroom they have set up and go and sit with his father

(Namjoon is the softest dad ever oh my god 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺)

Namgyu has dimples that pop out every time Mina calls him ‘Namu’

Him and Minho have a brotherly relationship. He, along with Jihyun, help Minho to get over Haneul.

He’s known that he loved Mina since she was 5 and he was 8, but of course he waited until she was 18 because of the age gap between them.

Mina had no such reservations. She asked him to date her when she was 14 and he had to gently turn her down because she was way too young to be dating a 17 year old.

She would stubbornly ask him every year on her birthday if she was old enough to date him yet, and on her 18th birthday he finally answered with ‘yes’ and kissed her

That was probably the worst day of Jungkook’s life.

Park Jihae

Jimin and his girlfriend’s first child

Despite being one of the oldest, she is babied by the entire group, ESPECIALLY Haneul

She’s so soft like oml 🥺🥺🥺

she inherited her father’s stature so by the time they’re all teenagers she’s the most smol (along with Mina who’s only an inch taller than her)

(by the time Yoona reaches her teens she’s also taller than Jihae)

Jimin’s little princess

She barely leaves his lap for the first five years of her life

Shes so clingy as well 🥺🥺🥺

She follows Haneul around holding her hand bc she doesn’t want to get lost

She really likes doing ballet. She tries to teach Haneul but they soon stop bc to put it lightly Haneul is hopeless

She is the softest big sister to Jihyun.

The only time she gets mad at him is when he sometimes refuses to call her noona

Once Mina and Haewon are born the trio has been completed

They are the unofficial maknaes of the group, along with Yoona who they treat like their own little dolly

They coordinate their clothes and everything. your squad wishes.

She’s the most oblivious person though. she doesn’t even realise she’s in love w Haneul until her 15th birthday when Haneul kisses her. and then she’s like oh. oh.

they are the softest girlfriends ever bls i can’t 🥺🥺

Park Jihyun and Jeon Minho

Jimin’s second child and Jungkook’s first

I put them together bc they’re honestly inseparable

They’re the troublemakers of the group, rivalled only by Mina and Haewon.

Jihyun was born two months before Minho, he insists that Minho calls him hyung

Minho refuses

Jihyun is the more responsible of the two, but barely. Namgyu’s kind of like their older brother, they both look up to him a lot.

Seojoon is their dongsaeng who they lovingly bully

Minho has a massive crush on Haneul.

He isn’t yandere for her, he just has a thing for noonas like father like son

At one point he tries to have a rivalry with Jihae because Haneul likes her so much but it doesn’t work bc Jihae is so sweet she doesn’t even realise what he’s trying to do and also Jihyun is super protective of his older sister and he nips it in the bud

After that he resolves to get over Haneul because he doesn’t want anything to come in between him and Jihyun.

Jihyun and Minho are definitely soulmates. Hoseok is convinced they will date at some point. There’s a betting pool which Jungkook refuses to enter bc he thinks its wrong to bet on his sons love life. Jimin on the other hand has lost almost a million won because he keeps betting that they’ll announce that they’re dating soon.

Jung Seojoon

Hoseok’s pride and joy

He’s so similar to his daddy guys it’s adorable 🥺

He has so much energy all the time, it is common to see his little head popping over the edge of Hoseok’s desk as he jumps around the room

Namgyu loves him but he doesn’t understand him at all

Seojoon loves to play dress up with Mina, Haewon and Jihae

He is not trusted with Yoona bc, though his intentions are absolutely pure, she usually ends up crying

Always breaking the rules. a loveable rascal we have here.

He knows when to push boundaries but he’s largely well behaved bc his dad taught him well 🥰🥰 (unlike many of the other fathers who spoil their kids)

Seojoon knew he loved Haewon since his fourth Christmas. Seojoon was hunting for the presents and when Haewon caught him, she joined him in searching instead of ratting him out.

From that moment on they were partners in crime.

It was only inevitable they started dating, obvious to literally everyone except Taehyung who refused to believe his daughter was a rule breaker in any shape or form.

Jeon Mina and Kim Haewon

Jungkook’s and Tae’s youngest girls 🥺

I put them together for the same reason I put Jihyun and Minho together. They’re inseparable

They were actually born within two days of each other. Haewon was born early and Tae always says it’s because she couldn’t wait to meet her best friend (besides him, of course)

Look Haewon even has his nose mole 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

They rival Jihyun and Minho in terms of general naughtiness

Seojoon helps them out sometimes, and in that time Mina always giggles at how silly Seojoon and Haewon act around each other

but all Haewon as to do is mention Namgyu and Mina stops making fun of her and starts blushing

Haewon and Mina talk about Seojoon and Namgyu literally all the time

When they’re older they trick their parents saying that Haewon and Mina are hanging out together and Seojoon and Namgyu are hanging out together and then they swap

Namgyu would normally disapprove but it means he gets more time to spend with Mina so he’s not snitching

Mina is sooo bitter when Haewon starts dating Seojoon bc Namgyu is apparently ‘too old’ for her so she can’t date yet

once Namgyu finally gives in on her 18th birthday and kisses her, she calls Haewon up screaming with excitement (little does she know Namgyu at that moment is calling Haneul and freaking tf out)

when they get married to their boyfriends they have a joint wedding 🥰🥰 Namgyu was originally against it but Mina gave him her infamous doe eyes which she inherited from her father and he allowed it reluctantly

Min Yoona

Yoongi’s unplanned but very adored daughter

By the time she’s born, Yoongi is in his mid to late 30s

To be honest, Yoongi had been happy helping to raise his friends kids, i mean they were all practically his godchildren and there wasn’t a week where he wasn’t babysitting at least three of his friends children

But sometimes he would watch Tae teaching Haneul to dance standing on his toes, or see Hoseok playing hide and seek with Seojoon, and he would feel this strange ache in his heart

When they found out Yoongi’s wife was pregnant, they considered not going through with the pregnancy, but ultimately decided against it after one of the members let slip that Yoongi’s wife was pregnant and then all of the kids ran up to Yoongi with eyes as big as dinner plates, asking eagerly if they were going to have another little sister.

As soon as Yoongi saw Yoona for the first time, he realised how stupid he was for not wanting children earlier. but he was almost grateful that he hadn’t had them earlier, because if he had then they wouldn’t be Yoona. And Yoona is perfect.

She’s babied by the entire group. Mina and Haewon are only five when she’s born and they love playing with her. She’s never left alone for a moment — like Yoongi feared she would be since all of the other kids were so close in age and Yoona was so much younger.

All of the children want their chance to play with Yoona and even the members love being able to play with a baby again after their children had outgrown it.

If Yoona ever tries to start dating… oh boy.

just to recap, the couples are...

↳ Kim Haneul and Park Jihae

↳ Kim Namgyu and Jeon Mina

↳ Jung Seojoon and Kim Haewon

Lucy Elizabeth Seavey was born on June 24th, 2024 at 1:56pm, brought calmly into the world from the comfort of home. She was 7lbs 11oz and 20 inches long with a full head of light blonde hair and bright blue eyes and the moment she breathed her first breath, her parents fell just in love with her than they had with her two older sisters – especially Daniel who cried his eyes out when she was born.

Florence and Daniel had two babies well before they got married yet alone engaged as life had a few unplanned tricks up its sleeve but, on their wedding night, the newlyweds agreed that they wanted one more baby; their one chance to things ‘the right way’. So they came back home from their honeymoon pregnant and unbelievably in love and spent the next few months preparing their apartment for their third child’s arrival. After two stressful pregnancies, Florence wanted nothing but the epitome of calm for this last one so they worked with a midwife and got a homebirth set up for whenever baby girl #3 was set to arrive. Lucy’s birth story can be found here if you’re interested!

For the other two girls, Florence had chosen their names since she was technically a single mother at the time of the birth certificate signings, but with Lucy, Daniel and Florence went through list after list together almost every night before bed to find the perfect name together. By now you know that Daniel had a bit of a music obsession and he was really searching for a name that meant just as much to him that Florence liked as well. Lucy was named after a song by The Beatles (Daniel’s favourite band), Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, which Daniel did not know was about LSD until his daughter was already a year old. He had a bit of a mental breakdown over that: “I named my baby daughter after a hallucinogenic drug?! What kind of father does that?!”. Elizabeth was simply another old fashion regal name that Florence adored and it flowed so nicely with her first name. Lucy Elizabeth; their littlest princess.

It was already a short name so there wasn’t much room for nicknames but she was Lucy Lu to her family and Lu-Lu to her sisters, princess to Daniel for reasons stated above – she was their littlest princess and Daniel’s own sweet little mini me. She might have had her mother’s blonde hair but she had Daniel’s eyes, nose, and infectious smile…definitely a Seavey with those beautiful genes.

Lucy had always been an independent girl; she was the earliest of her sisters to walk and talk, and her favourite phrase as a baby and toddler was “me do” as she was determined to do things herself. Despite this fierce independence of hers, Lucy always held her family close and loved to spend time with them – Christmas had always been her favourite time of the year since they got to visit Daniel’s parents and siblings in Vancouver. She was a sociable girl and loved to talk since the moment she could, making up all sorts of stories through every part of her day, especially to Daniel. They called Lucy ‘Daniel’s Shadow’ because she was always rushing after him wherever he went from the day she could walk (and even before that as she always demanded to be picked up by him). The poor man could hardly go to the bathroom without the baby toddling after him. He learned to lock the door the hard way.

When it came to her interests, Lucy was the daughter who had a knack for music, she was Daniel’s little musical prodigy. He tried to get all of his girls interested in at least piano from a young age but Clementine got bored of it too easily and Penelope just could not get it right…with Lucy, Daniel went in to their first home lesson with low hopes but she caught on almost right away; even Florence was shocked at how easily it came to her pre-school daughter. Of course, this was a dangerous game as she often woke up in the middle of the night to Daniel and four-year-old Lucy sat at the grand piano in the living room at 3am punching out a few tunes in their pyjamas. He just couldn’t help himself.

Daniel took it upon himself to teach Lucy everything that he knew about music and he brought her to his studio often to not only give her music lessons but teach her about producing as she got older. By the time she was fourteen, Tuesdays and Thursdays after school were the days when Lucy would take the subway to the studio and spend the remainder of Daniel’s workday working with him and making music. It was the reason why Clementine and Penelope always called Lucy his favourite child. But Daniel didn’t have a favourite; he loved all his girls the exact same. He just had an extra thing to connect with Lucy through. Lucy had started piano lessons by age four, guitar at seven, cello at nine, and singing lessons off and on throughout her elementary school years and into high school; all taught to her by her father which definitely saved the family a lot of money. In high school, she was in the performing arts program for instrumental music (she played cello in the band but could also pick up the flute if they needed) and theatre. She dabbled in a little dance as she grew up too; ballet, tap, and musical theatre. She really gave multi-talented Clementine a run for her money sometimes. High school allowed her to really blossom in theatre, always in awe by musical films and live theatre on their one family trip to New York and she saw her first Broadway show. Daniel was her go to for music but her Uncle Christian was her go to for acting since he majored in it in college himself and Lucy called him often for advice or video chatted him to run lines for her school plays.

School wasn’t really Lucy’s first priority other than the arts. She did reasonably well in school but could have really shone if she applied herself; and she got into arguments with Florence a lot about it, her mother trying hard to get her to put the same amount of dedication into her school work that she put into her music. English and math and science and the sort never interested Lucy though, and she could never bring herself to work hard in those generic subjects since all she wanted to do in life was musical theatre; a perfect mesh of her music and her acting. She begged her parents to let her apply to art schools for university to major in musical theatre but they were concerned because it wasn’t a very promising career for post-graduation. On their trip to Vancouver for Christmas for her senior year, Lucy confided in Christian and he woke up at 4am one day to sneak her out across the bay to the city of Victoria to tour the Canadian College of Performing Arts and be back in time for supper. Lucy absolutely fell in love with the campus and the program and she came back to her grandparents’ house absolute beaming and thrusting the pamphlets at her parents, rushing out everything she learned and planned from the tour. Christian’s cheeky grin at his brother and sister-in-law’s unimpressed glares was magazine worthy. So Lucy moved to BC the following year to major in musical theatre at CCPA.

Lucy was very generous, charming, and really too sweet for her own good. She was fiercely independent and sociable and always had lots of friends as she loved being kind to everyone. She always felt emotions strongly which often allowed for harsh mood swings is someone questioned her character, passions, or her family. She loved being surrounded by people and tended to fall in love the ‘fastest’ out of her sisters. She had a few boyfriends while growing up, her most serious one during her senior year was her prom date and left her with a pregnancy scare at nearly eighteen and Daniel almost died and went to heaven when she came to her parents crying in fear; not only because that was his little girl but because her boyfriend always reminded him of Florence’s jerk off of an ex, Matt. Thankfully, all was well, the pregnancy test was negative, and Lucy moved across the country for school. She had a few quick romances over there, often fueled by sudden passion and momentary infatuation rather than love per se but she fell hard for her university dance coach, Xavier, in third year. He was only a few years older than her and both of them seemed to have an attraction they couldn’t deny, but Lucy let him chase her for a bit before they finally went on a few dates and made it official. Daniel was not impressed that he was the last one to find out about that and through his brother, Tyler, of all people. Since when did Tyler know more about his daughter’s life than he did? Regardless, Xavier was a good guy and when Lucy brought him home one summer, Florence and Daniel knew they were a perfect match.

For those of you interested in astrology, Lucy is a Cancer Sun, Aquarius Moon, and Libra Rising.

She is the most religious out of her family and even as a kid would shout “Thank you, God!” before eating her dinner. Her favourite colour is gold or literally anything that sparkles, she loves all genres of music but has a secret playlist of early 2000s punk rock, she has her parents’ initials tattooed on her ankle, and her favourite meal always has been chicken nuggets and she lives off of them in university.

Lucy’s songs are:

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by The Beatles

Elizabeth by Julia Jacklin

ABOUT JOANNA

— Joanna was born to a conservative family in Alexandria, Virginia. She was always a bit of a wildcard from a young age so she didn’t fit in very well and quickly became the family disappointment as she got older

— She’s the second youngest of six siblings. She always jokes that if her parents just had a TV in their bedroom, there wouldn’t be so many of them. She’s closest to her youngest sibling and otherwise mildly to really dislikes the rest of them because they’re “judgmental fuckers”.

— Her pregnancy was unplanned and happened way too early in her life. She wasn’t 16 and Pregnant material but she didn’t think she’d be almost 20 with a baby on the way either. But rather than terminate the pregnancy, she carried it through and figured she had to turn her life around for once in her life.

— Single mom. Definitely the chill and unconventional type but she’s a good mom. Has a big chip on her shoulder because of how shitty her mom was to her, so she vowed to never be that shitty to her kid. “Ain’t about being the best, just about not being horrible.” Her words that she lives by.

— Never formally studied to be a pastry chef. Landed a job doing the baked goods at a local restaurant in her hometown and became hella good at it. Over the years became good friends with one of the regular patrons who turned out to be a real Richie Rich and offered her the position of pastry chef at a restaurant she planned to open in LA. Basically how she has her job without the proper credentials. She owes her life to Natalie.

— Has finally made enough money to consider starting her very own ( very small ) business. Though, consider is the key word here. She’s got a kid to worry about so she’s very hesitant to make any risky moves. Moving to LA when Ryder was still a toddler was the riskiest thing she’s done since he was born. Though, she can’t deny that she’s itching for something more challenging lately.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

DRINKING BUDDIES ; She hires a babysitter and lets her child go on sleepovers specifically for this reason. A bitch needs to let loose and no one loves a hard drink more than Jo.

FORMER CO-WORKER ; Back when she first moved to LA and the restaurant was still in its pre-opening stages, she worked a lot of odd jobs on top of working on the menu.

ONE NIGHT STAND ; Sometimes you’re out and things work out. Some dude ( or chick ) she rolled around in bed with and left right after they passed out.

YOUR ORDER ; Accidentally received your coffee order at Grind Time and now I know you specifically by your coffee order and call you that if/when I see you around.

MOVING IN ; Either you helped her with a couple of boxes when she was moving in two years ago, or she saw you moving in any time during her two year residence and helped you ( along with her kid, of course ).

Open to anything! Let’s brainstorm if none of these float your fancy.

Having Children with Poe Dameron Would Include...(Modern AU)

-Talking extensively about how many children you would want and what you would want to name your children

-You refuse to name a child after your dog Beebee, but you cave on naming one of your children after Poe’s favorite lead singer, Axl Rose

-As long as you get to name one of your kids Malcolm or Scott after AC/DC

-It takes awhile for you to become pregnant with your first child, between two and three years, closer to three

-But when you finally do, you decide to tell Poe when he gets home from one of his really long flights. You wrap a really tiny pilot suit with the sonogram picture in a box and give it to him when he gets home

-He doesn’t believe you at first, but when he realizes that you’re not lying he picks you up and spins you around, with the largest smile you’ve ever seen on his face

-He starts to make plans almost immediately and insists on calling your parents to tell them he good news

-As the months tick by, he likes to place his hands on your stomach and feel the baby kick as he talks to it

-Beebee becomes increasingly protective over you, to the point where if your sleeping on the couch, he will growl at Poe if he gets too close

-Poe waits on you hand and foot and refuses to let you walk anywhere

-”Where are you going?” “To the bathroom.” “I’ll carry you there.” “No, Poe. I can get there on my own. Nothing’s going to happen while I walk to and from the bathroom

-William Axl Dameron was born on November 8th, two weeks before thanksgiving. He looks exactly like Poe but he has your (y/e/c) eyes

-You and Poe are both completely smitten with your son. And so are Finn and Rey when they come to visit you in the hospital

-You have Finn and Rey as the Godfather and Godmother to Axl

-Poe often will sing Sweet Child O’ Mine to Axl to help him sleep and it gets him to fall asleep almost right away

-Axl is almost six months before you start talking about having another child

-But you didn’t expect to get pregnant so fast. While it took almost three years to get pregnant with Axl, it only took two months to get pregnant with your second child

-You were four months pregnant by the time Axl’s first birthday arrived and like before, Poe wouldn’t let you do anything

-”Just relax, honey and enjoy the time with our family and friends. I’ll take care of everything.”

-You were a little reluctant about it and you felt a little guilty but the party went much better than you expected it to. Especially since you didn’t have any morning sickness during it either

-When you place Axl’s first birthday cake in front of him, he kind of has no idea what to do with it and looks at it for several minutes before digging his hands into it

-Malcolm Scott Dameron was born on June 13th in the early morning at about four o’clock. You had to call Rey to come and watch Axl while Poe took you to the hospital. She wasn’t very happy to be woken up that early but when she figured out why she came as fast as she could. Malcolm looks like a mix between you and Poe with your (h/c) hair and Poe’s dark brown eyes

-Beebee was protective over both of the boys and refused to move away from them if they were playing on the floor

-He was also really patient with them when they would pull his fur or lay on top of him

-Poe would often chase Axl around the house once he learned how to walk. And he didn’t just learn to walk, the minute he could get up on his feet he was running

-Poe also played peek-a-boo with Mal and every time you heard his baby laugh you couldn’t help but smile

-You would often lean in the doorway and watch Poe play with Axl and Mal and wonder how you got so lucky

-It was one of these times when Axl was three and Mal was one and a half the you brought up having another child

-This time it didn’t take as long as it did with Axl, but it still took a little bit. It took about six months. You found out right after Mal’s second birthday

-Your house became more hectic with an almost four-year-old, a two-year-old, and another little one on the way

-While your boys get along really well, they also sometimes get into fights. Mostly about who got what toys or who got to lay on Beebee the longest

-Axl was your troublemaker, he always got into mischief or things that he wasn’t supposed to get into. He once found a sharpie that Poe had left out on the counter and he proceeded to draw all over the dining room wall with it. All three of your boys lost sharpie privileges after that

-Mal on the other hand was a very quiet child. He was content with his building blocks in the corner of the living room and he would often build little forts that he’d refuse to come out of

-Your third son, Edward David Dameron was born on October 31st. He looks exactly like you. You and Poe get into a small argument about if you should name your third son after a band member from Guns N’ Roses or from AC/DC so you compromised and named him after David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen from the band Van Halen

-Since Eddie was born on Halloween, Finn and Rey took Axl and Mal out trick-or-treating that night and then they came to visit you at the hospital before you went back into the delivery room

-Axl took to being a big brother really well and made sure that both of his younger brothers were taken care of. He really wanted to help out with Eddie and constantly tried to do things for Eddie on his own, like changing his diaper or giving him a bath. So, you and Poe had to keep an eye on Axl so that he didn’t hurt Eddie even though he was just trying to help

-It was very hectic with all three of your boys at home. Especially since Axl and Mal shared a room. It was sometimes harder to get them to bed if they were both riled up

-When Eddie started to crawl, Axl and Mal would usually try to stay as far away from him as possible. So, if they were playing on one end of the house and Eddie cam crawling over, they would get up and run to the other end and continue to do this every time Eddie would get close. Eddie learned how to walk much faster than his older brothers

-While Axl was your troublemaker and Mal was your quiet child, Eddie was your loud one. He liked to scream at the top of his lungs every morning when he got up, which was usually around five thirty to six o’clock in the morning and most of the time he refused to go down for a nap even though he was very cranky and tired

-All three of your boys often sang to the music that you played in the car, which after Axl started to say the bad words in songs were either songs without bad words or the kids bop version of them, which both you and Poe absolutely detested

-When Axl started kindergarten, you put Mal into preschool so that he could socialize with children his age and make friends before you sent him off to public school

-Once both Axl and Mal were in school it became very quiet with just you and Eddie at home

-With Poe’s job, he would often leave for many days at a time, so when he came home, he was swarmed by all three of your children and sometimes they would actually knock him to the floor when he came through the door

-When Axl was in third grade, Mal was in second, and Eddie was in kindergarten, you found out you were pregnant for the fourth, and hopefully final, time

-Your fourth pregnancy was completely unplanned, but both you and Poe were ecstatic. With this one you decided to have a gender reveal party, a family member had placed the appropriate colored balloons in a cardboard box. You had all three of the boys pull back the flaps to release the pink balloons from within the box

-All three of the boys were ecstatic about having a younger sister and would often talk to their little sister all the time. Beebee, who was getting up there in age, was also very protective over you once again and would never leave your side

-Leia Jacqueline Dameron was born on December 5th. She was named after one of the most important woman in both your and Poe’s lives. Leia looks exactly like Poe with his dark brown eyes and dark hair. All three of your boys were absolutely smitten with her from the moment they laid eyes on her

-You swore that Leia was going to be your last child and to be sure of that you had your tubes tied right after having her

-All three of your boys tried their best to help you when you brought Leia home and you were very grateful for them

-Poe was absolutely thrilled to have a daughter after you had three boys and you both knew that Axl, Mal, and Eddie would protect their little sister

-Leia had a mix of all three of your sons, she got into trouble like Axl did. She once climbed a tree after her brother at the age of two because she wanted to be with him. She was loud like Eddie and liked to play he pots and pans in the kitchen as drums with him, but she was also very quiet like Mal and would often build stuff with him and his Legos. But she was also very driven to get what she wanted and she could be very cunning and manipulative

-Once your children got to high school Axl was the popular football player who brought home a different girl almost every month. While Mal was the quiet, mysterious artist with a guitar always attached to him. Eddie was the life of the party and the guy who always cracked a joke but he was also a drummer in the band that he and Mal had started up with a couple of their other friends. Leia was not quite as popular as Axl, but she was still pretty popular, she played soccer and volleyball during high school and made the varsity soccer team

-Axl joined the air force the minute he turned eighteen and had graduated high school and followed in his father’s footsteps. While Mal and Eddie became famous with the rock band that they formed in high school with their friends, The Damerons. Leia became an elementary school teacher because she loved to be around little kids

-With four teenagers in your house, it could get very hectic, especially when you had to drive Axl to football practice, Mal to guitar lessons, Eddie to drum lessons, and Leia to soccer practice

-You and Poe often double teamed it to get everyone where they needed to be

-Many times, after the kids had went to bed, you and Poe would plop down on your couch completely exhausted from the day

-”Want to watch a movie?” “Sure, as long as you stay up this time.”

-You’d both fall asleep within fifteen minutes of the movie

-When your mother demanded pictures of your kids, professionally taken ones, it was an ordeal and you didn’t do it often. Mostly because you had to wrestle them into he clothes that they had to wear and then you had to cart them down to the picture studio and get them to pose nicely for the photos. They usually turned out good in the end but they took a lot of work

-Taking the kids to a movie was a completely different ordeal. Since Axl was the oldest especially once he turned thirteen he insisted on sitting a few chairs away by himself. While Mal and Eddie constantly talked to themselves during the movie and Leia usually fall asleep

-Grocery shopping with your four children was also hectic, especially when they were hungry. You usually ended up with an extra one hundred dollars’ worth of food in the cart when all four of them went with you

-Despite your lives being hectic and crazy all of the time you and Poe wouldn’t have it any other way

Amaranthine: second generation headcanon list

And after what feels like forever, here is the Amaranthine second-gen list. I had a lot of ideas for this beyond what I covered in the story, and compiling the list gave me yet more, so as a result there's a bonus section of second genners here that have no role or mention in the story here as well.I might or might not write more fics around this AU that might or might not end up including them, but if you want to know more about a particular kid (or their 3E parent, for that matter!), feel free to drop me an ask or whatever :)

Anyway, I hope you find this list (starting under the cut, as always!)interesting, and here's the link to the original story: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11912649/1/Amaranthine

Note 1: Though I've given birth years for all of them, only Kaguya has a birthday listed, because she's the only one who I assigned a specific birthday to.

Note 2: There are some death dates listed for children here, but though there are quite a few in the bonus section that I imagine to have premature deaths, I’ve only made a point of listing the death dates for those who died as children/babies rather than just generally young. This is because for the ones whose premature deaths occur in adulthood, I haven’t decided a year/age they die at, just general circumstances.

Note 3: Something weird happened when I copy-pasted this from word to the post, so though I've tried to neaten it up the fonts and format may be weird.

Main

Rinka Hayami and Ryuunosuke Chiba

Kaguya Hayami, born 20th May, 2031. She is named Kaguya because of her mother’s fear that somehow, she’d turn out to not really belong to her, that she was a loan from the gods to make up for their cruelty in killing Chiba, and that one day she’d have to give her back. Though Kaguya is a warm natured person who gets along with others and expresses her emotions easily, she is as reserved and quiet as both her parents are/were. Though mother and daughter have always gotten on, the night Hayami revealed everything about the past to her marked a new, deeper closeness between them. Kaguya’s closest childhood/school friends are Iruka and Ageha Akasaka (see below).

Hinano Kurahashi

Masami Akasaka (former surname Tachibana), born 2023. Her bio parents were childhood friends of her father, and they made him and Hinano her legal guardians, which is how they came to adopt her when she was four and her parents died in an accident. Though she calls them ‘Papa Shinji’ and ‘Mama Hinano’ all her life, she considers them her parents as much as her bio ones, and loves them deeply. Masami is cheerful and happy-go-lucky, and has a wide variety of interests. She goes on to have a large family herself.

Suzume Akasaka, born 2027. Elder twin by fifteen minutes, she’s basically a brown-eyed version of Hinano, except more sparky and argumentative. In elementary and early middle school, she gets into a lot of fights-though usually with good intention-but she grows out of this before she can be labelled a delinquent, much to everyone’s relief. She adores dogs most of all and thus ends up running a dog shelter.

Tsubame Akasaka, born 2027. Despite being the younger twin, she tends to be the bossier, take-charge one in a way more befitting an older sibling. She loves pranks, especially twin-switch ones, and would have probably gotten along well with Rio in another life, and later on life this translates to a general carefree attitude about life.

Iruka ‘Iru’ Akasaka, born 2030. He often despairs at being the only brother in a bunch of sisters, but on the other hand it means that he is well acquaintance with the quirks and foibles of females and is rarely fazed by anything (though he tends to be the straight man in most social interactions). This makes him a bit of an oddity amongst his classmates and friends throughout his life, but also leaves them in awe of him. He tries on a variety of careers and eventually settles on training as a teacher and working for The Sanctuary (the school that Megu, Hinano and Hayami eventually make from the old 3E campus once Gakuho Asano dies) once it opens. He goes by his nickname because he finds his actual name a little dorky (“seriously, who wants to be named ‘dolphin’?”)

Ageha ‘Acchan’ Akasaka, born 2032. A precocious reader and quick to pick up mathematical concepts, she ends up skipping a year near the end of elementary school, and ends up in the same year as Kaguya for middle and high school. Physically speaking, she’s the one who resembles her father the most.

Megu Kataoka

Misa Watanabe (former surname Takechi), born 2036. The elder twin by ten minutes, Misa is fierce and overprotective of her two little brothers, and has always been mature for her age. She is the one that remembers the most of her old parents, and though she has no wish to reconnect with that aspect of her life, she bears the scars in the form of having trouble in letting herself be helped. She develops a passion for the stars and pursues this to become one of the most influential astronomers of her generation.

Manabu Watanabe (former surname Takechi), born 2036. Though he’s technically the quieter twin, Manabu is no less protective or dedicated than his sister is. He eventually goes on to be a policeman and values the justice system highly, so when his mother dies and he receives her letter, the contents don’t sit easy with him. He does eventually reconcile it though, and goes on to work closely with The Sanctuary afterwards.

Yuuma Watanabe (former surname Takechi, no first name before adoption), born 2037. Sweet and imaginative, Yuuma can seem as gentlemanly and kind as his namesake, but a lot more dreamy and sometimes more innocent. He struggles in school most of his life, but works hard and makes it through, and becomes a relatively successful novelist-many of the squad, Isogai included, become fans of his works.

Bonus

Squad members

Touka Yada

Eriko Sakakibara, born 2020. The unplanned, unwanted consequence of a mission when Yada was 20, Eriko was abandoned and eventually adopted, and knows nothing of her biological mother’s background. Her adoptive parents were not very loving or warm parents and as a result Eriko had a rough, rebellious adolescence which ended in a teenage pregnancy that resulted in her beloved daughter, Marika (who eventually ends up in the first 3E that Megu, Hinano and Hayami teach). This gave Eriko a purpose, and she pulled herself together worked extremely hard to be able to bring her up alone, giving her the love and nurturing that she herself never experienced and eventually becoming the co-owner of a successful cat cafe.

Takuya Muramatsu

Natsuya Muramatsu, born 2027.Though his brash behaviour and relaxed attitude to dress code make him seem a lot like the stereotypical delinquent in a similar way to how his father appeared, in truth he is a lot more shrewd, sly and smart than that, which makes him the perfect candidate to take over Takuya’s role in the squad when the time comes.

Shin’ya Muramatsu, born 2028. A quiet guy who goes with the flow and prefers to stay out of conflict, Shin’ya is more than happy to stay behind the scenes and be the cook while Natsuya takes the lead and does most of the squad-related things.

Tomohito Sugino and Yukiko Kanzaki

Nanako Sugino, born 2024, deceased 2027. Though she was unplanned and initially seen as an inconvenience by her parents, she was loved deeply and her death due to a sickness and medical negligence hit both her parents hard. Her memory is often used as a driving motivation behind the squad’s targeting of corrupt medical industries and hospitals (things that contributed to Nanako’s death). Nanako was basically a typical happy three year old who loved fairies and unicorns. She was also notably pretty.

Yuuma Isogai

Megumi Isogai, born 2027. She would have been named ‘Megu’, but her mother thought that was an incomplete name and argued for other alternatives-‘Megumi’ was the compromise in the end, but she is still definitely named for Megu Kataoka. Anyway, she never seems to fit in with her family despite being very much her father’s favourite (she even looks a lot like him, minus the ahoge), and after a childhood of railing against a sheltered upbringing, she runs away from home at the age of 17 and is never heard of again. It is unclear how much she knew of her family’s activities prior to this.

Mayuri Isogai, born 2030. Probably the most docile and compliant of the three Isogai daughters, she is basically the other extreme of having such a sheltered, insular childhood. She goes on to take on a job in one of Yada’s legitimate business ventures, reporting back relevant information to her family and the rest of the squad but otherwise keeping on the right side of the law. She’s pleasant enough and fiercely loyal to her family, but doesn’t have much of a personality.

Tsumugi Isogai, born 2032. Though she tended to get a little restless from being so coddled, being a Tsumugi never actually minded it that much. She’s generally a chill person, though with a slightly cold streak-she tends to be hurtful in her words and rarely shows much compassion to others apart from her family (except for Megumi, who she always dismisses as ‘causing drama’ whenever she’s mentioned). She goes on to become one of the squad’s main assassins.

Saki Isogai, born 2033. Probably the most relaxed and ‘normal’ of the Isogai siblings, Saki decides on a law-abiding life, though she always stays close to her family-she takes the option of pretending she knows nothing. After all, her upbringing was such that such a thing is plausible. In taking this approach, she proves herself more strategic and calculating than most people around her would give her credit for, especially as she seems so straightforward. Saki is also the only sibling who has inherited the Isogai ahoge.

Hiroto Maehara

(Note: All of these kids are the result of reckless flings/affairs/one-night stands that occur during, but not related to, various squad missions)

Yuka Yamada, born 2022. Abandoned by her young mother as a toddler, Yuka has a rough, abusive childhood in care and winds up gravitating towards crime as a teenager and running away. Various tricky life events occur before she eventually cleans up her act and gets work at a florists. During one of the rough years, she meets and helps Megumi Isogai, and though their friendship lasts only a few months and they never kept in contact, that time helped to contribute towards Yuka’s subsequent decision to straighten out.

Kimiya Satsuki, born 2025. The result of an affair, Kimiya has no idea that the person he calls ‘Dad’ is not actually his father. He is the second of four children (one older brother, one younger brother, one younger sister), and has a happy childhood in a coastal town, and grows up to run his family inn.

Kazunari Taira, born 2031, deceased 2040. Small for his age, Kazunari was hyperactive and funny and full of plans and ideas. The only child that Maehara actually had a (distant but still fond) relationship with, Kazunari died in what was disguised as an accident, but was a murder made as a threat to the squad (his mother is oblivious to this truth, thankfully). After his death, Maehara vowed to be a lot more careful in the future so that he didn’t have any more children who could come to such harm.

Anna-Louisa ‘Ally’ Warren (nee Harding), born 2039. Raised in America, Anna had a slightly tough but generally loving childhood, and though she always wondered about her father (especially as her mother couldn’t give many answers beyond the vague), it was not until well into her adult life after a bitter divorce that she was motivated to go to Japan to try and track him down. She did not succeed, but ended up seduced by the culture and decided to make a fresh start there. She ended up working at one of Yada’s legitimate business ventures, and Yada instantly suspected who she could be, but decided to keep it secret from both of them.

Other non-squad members

Taisei Yoshida

Seiko Yoshida, born 2026. A pretty, popular girl, Seiko always sensed that there’s a part of her father that comes from another sort of world (as she thinks of it), and is the only one of her siblings who is interested in it. As a result, she ends up often helping her father pass on cards from Isogai and things like that, and ends up working for Yuzuki Fuwa in her quest to become a private detective (which she achieves). Childhood friends with the Itou kids (see below), she dates and eventually marries Ichiro, the eldest.

Taichi Yoshida, born 2029. Loud, annoying but ultimately well meaning, he’s basically a typical annoying little brother towards Seiko, and a protective-but-teasing older brother to Ema. He becomes part of a boy band in his late teens until his mid-twenties (he’s quite the good singer), but then when they disband goes to work for his dad’s garage.

Ema Yoshida, born 2032. Otherwise super-girly and basically tiny and sweet and adorable, she surprises everyone by showing an aptitudes for mechanics, and seems to take a little too much pleasure from subverting expectations. She ends up going to the same university as Ageha, and though they end up in a lot of the same classes during their degrees and know each other well as a result, they don’t connect enough for them to realise any connections between their families.

Sumire Hara

Ichiro Itou, born 2026. A brotherly, caring type who charms everyone he encounters, the handsome Ichiro is pretty much as popular as Seiko and in high school they’re basically the golden couple. He has an odd but deep interest in different types of tea.

Asahi Itou, born 2028. Eldest of the triplets, Asahi is a headstrong, fierce girl who knows what she wants and just aims for it, with little hesitation. A feminist, she’s radical enough in her views as a young girl to rail against the fact that her mother is a housewife, and does not understand why she would be happy with that or how she could choose that. She only gains that understanding as an adult, and thus for a lot of her life her relationship with her mother is tense.

Mahiru Itou, born 2028. Headstrong like Asahi, but more measured than fierce, Mahiru is generally considered the more sensible of the triplets. She eventually goes on to be a criminal lawyer, and has several close brushes with the squad, which causes her mother no end of anxiety, though Sumire never tells her precisely why she keeps begging Mahiru to find another job.

Yuuhi Itou, born 2028. The youngest of the triplets. He’s close friends with Taichi Yoshida, being the quieter, more anxious straight man to Taichi’s impulsive, reckless goofball, and he also joins the band that Taichi joins as a late teen (he plays the drums). When the band splits up, he goes into music production. He struggles with anxiety for a lot of his life, but manages it.

Kaoru Itou, born 2030. Very interested in fashion, Kaoru is flamboyant, imaginative and creative, and loves to make clothes and accessories for his nearest and dearest, and makes a successful career out of it. He moves to Australia as an adult, but visits Japan constantly.

Mirai Itou, born 2037. A surprise child, he’s very much coddled and adored by the rest of his family, and acts a little spoiled because of this. However he’s a hardworking, passionate person, and as someone who never really fits in with the strict educational system (though he does well), he is eventually motivated to also work for The Sanctuary.

Kirara Hazama

Shiki Nakajima, born and deceased 2027. A stillborn son, his name is written to mean ‘poem’. Though his parents think of him pretty much every day and he is still thought of as part of the family (his name is still on the plaque listing the family’s names outside the Nakajima’s front door), he is not talked about.

Bunko Nakajima, born 2033. A sunny faced, sunny natured girl, nobody can believe that she and Hazama are related when they look at the two of them together. The only feature they appear to share is curly hair, and even that’s a stretch. However, Bunko is just as book obsessed as her mother (and her father, for that matter) and has a similar dark sense of humour and interest/knowledge in the occult and she can be creepy when she wants to be. She starts a book-critique blog called ‘Literary Child’ (which is what her name means) that becomes a hit in the book world.

Taiga Okajima

Kiyomi Okajima, born 2031. Brash, down to earth, overly blunt and not easily fazed, Kiyomi is not someone you want to challenge. A lesbian, she finds it hilarious that her father’s reaction to her coming out in her teens is to be happy that he can pass down his own porn collection from his adolescence instead of having to find male porn to give to her. Though she does turn it down anyway.

Karma Akabane

Saito Akabane, born 2028. Physically resembling his father, he is nothing like him personality wise, being a straight-laced, overly serious sort of person who goes onto become a doctor. It horrifies him when he learns of his father’s past and the sort of people his former classmates became, and his struggle to understand it causes a rift in their relationship for a while, but they reconcile when Saito has his own children.

Toshiko Akabane, born 2029. A bit more cheeky and relaxed, Toshiko does seem a lot more like her father, personality wise. Though she’s generally someone who believes in the law, for some reason she finds it easier to accept her father’s past. Witnessing horrible experiences classmates and friends go through, she is eventually motivated to open a women’s shelter, walking away from a shiny government job to achieve this. She allows the squad to refer people they rescue to her.

16 & Pregnant Episode Summary (via Wikipedia): Maci McKinney (née Bookout) is a 16-year-old girl from Chattanooga, Tennessee, pregnant by her then-boyfriend and later ex-fiancé, Ryan Edwards. Prior to the birth, the episode focuses on Edwards' indifference to the forthcoming baby and his relationship with Bookout. Bookout gave birth to their son, Bentley Cadence Edwards, on October 27, 2008. Following the birth, the episode focuses on Bookout and Edwards' relationship struggles due to Bookout having to carry most of the parenting load.

Post episode update: After 16 & Pregnant took off, Maci became one of the 4 main girls on Teen Mom OG. She is still to this day one of the favorite girls from the show. Since the show began, Maci has had only a few serious relationships; In 2009, Maci and Ryan are engaged and planning their wedding but call it quits before the end of the year. Maci started dating a guy named Kyle King in 2010, things got serious and Maci ended up moving to Nashville to be closer to Kyle and she attended school there for a while as well. Kyle and Maci break up in February of 2012 because Kyle was sending inappropriate messages to girls on Facebook. Around March of 2012, Maci met a guy named Kyle Regal (a motocross racer) but their romance was short lived as he was not faithful. Maci and Kyle King rekindled their relationship for a few months until they ended their relationship officially in October of 2012. (Kyle King is now married and has a child of his own.) Maci started dating Taylor McKinney in late 2012. Taylor was a motocross racer at the time and a friend of Maci’s friend, they had met a few times before. Taylor lived in Texas and they were in a long term relationship for over a year until Taylor moved down to Chattanooga to live with Maci and Bentley. In December of 2014, Maci announced her second pregnancy (and first child with boyfriend Taylor.) Maci didn’t think she could have anymore kids after finding out she suffered from PCOS. Jayde McKinney was born May 29th, 2015. In the spring of 2015 Maci graduated from Chattanooga State Community College with a degree in Media Technology. Her and Taylor also both completed a business entrepreneur course and got certificates from that. Once receiving those certificates, Maci and Taylor ended up opening their own business together, a clothing line called TTM (Things That Matter.) Their business is still up and running to this day! They even made special shirts and donated ALL of the profits to Houston for Hurricane Harvey! How awesome is that? Huge props to Maci and Taylor for that one! Maci and Taylor bought a very beautiful home together and raise their 3 children and pets there. After 4 long years of being together, Maci announced her engagement to Taylor on January 19th, 2016. Around Feburary 2016, Maci finds out she is pregnant with her 3rd child (2nd with Taylor) and they were both completely shocked. They found out only a few days after Taylor proposed. She says she didn't know she was pregnant until 21 weeks along. She went to the doctor to get on new birth control, and that’s how she found out about baby #3! Maci got a lot of backlash because of her third pregnancy. One of the reasons being that she was drinking before she was pregnant, and didn’t find out until 21 weeks along. Another reason being that she had 2 unplanned pregnancies while she was a spokeswoman for the Candies Foundation to raise awareness against teens having unplanned pregnancies. However, since Maci has a steady income, boyfriend and isn’s a teenager anymore, people were more understanding. May 31st, 2016 Maverick McKinney was born (just 1 year and 2 days away from sister Jayde’s birthday!) On October 8th, 2016 Maci and Taylor tied the knot at a beautiful wedding in Greenville, Florida. Maci has came out with a few books over the past few years; Bulletproof (2015), I Wasn’t Born Bulletproof (2017), and Maci and Taylor’s Wedding Coloring Book (2017.) As for jobs, Taylor no longer works as a motocross racer, he just runs their clothing line TTM. Maci used to tour schools across the country to speak about teen pregnancy. She now works for TTM and also full time in marketing. Maci and Taylor recently talked about the possibility of wanting to adopt or foster children sometime in the future! They say “If we are able to do that then why would we not?”

Abortion Statistics In Florida And USA | Fort Lauderdale Women's Center

ABORTION FACTS AROUND THE WORLD:

1/3 of all pregnancies worldwide are unplanned

Approximately 25% of the world population lives in countries with highly restrictive abortion laws, mostly in Asia, Africa and Latin America

One woman dies every 7 minutes around the world due to an unsafe illegal abortion. Women who undergo illegal abortions are those who are very poor and do not have access to family planning facilities for education and prevention of unwanted pregnancies

Making abortion illegal or legal has no effect on the total number of abortions performed in the world. Making abortion legal dramatically reduces maternal morbidity and mortality.

Nearly 50% of pregnancies that occur yearly are unwanted with nearly ½ of those pregnant women terminating their pregnancy. In essence; 42 million choose to terminate their pregnancy with close to half of those (20 million) being illegal.

Common complications from unsafe abortions are cervical tears, retained pregnancy tissue, severe heavy bleeding, sepsis, uterine perforation, bladder and bowel damage, which can lead to maternal death if patients are not treated in a timely matter. Death may also result from such complications as gas gangrene of the uterus and acute renal failure. The patient can become permanently disabled due to stroke, or septic clots that form in the upper or lower extremities that lead to the necessity for removal. If a patient develops a severe infection it can lead to tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which may result in a high incidence of infertility and ectopic pregnancy.

Between 10 and 50% of unsafe abortion cases need medical attention but a lot of women delay or decide not to seek medical care. This is because in a lot of countries where it is illegal to have abortions performed, the women who go to the hospital for help will be reported to the local law authorities and are subject to arrest and spending time in jail. The medical staff often refuses to help and will even harass women about their botched abortion. 600,000 maternal deaths occur each year. Seventy thousand (70,000) of those maternal deaths are from the complications of unsafe abortion which represents 12 to 13% percent of maternal deaths. Prior to 1966, Rumania allowed abortions to take place and as a result, maintained a very low maternal death rate. From 1966 to 1989 abortions were made illegal and the maternal mortality rate increased over 10 times compared to the remainder of Europe.

When performed by qualified Physicians and medical personnel appropriately trained about the medical and surgical abortion techniques, it is a relatively safe and necessary procedure. In the United States, for example, the death rate for abortion is currently 0.6 per 100 000 procedures, making it as safe or safer than receiving an injection of penicillin.

FACTS ABOUT ABORTION IN THE UNITED STATES

Incidence of Abortion

Nearly half of all pregnancies among American women are unintended, and 4 in 10 of these are terminated by abortion. 22% of all pregnancies end in abortion.

40% of pregnancies among white women, 69% among blacks and 54% among Hispanics are unintended.

In 2005, 1.21 million abortions were performed, down from 1.31 million in 2000. More than 45 million legal abortions were performed from 1973 through 2005.

Each year, about 2% of women aged 15-44 have an abortion; 47% of them have had at least one previous abortion.

At least half of all American women will face an unintended pregnancy by age 45 and, at current rates; about one-third will have had an abortion.

Over 88% of abortions occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Over half of all abortions in the U.S. occur within the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. 6.7% occur between 13 and 15 weeks, 3.5% occur between 16 and 20 weeks, and 1.1% of abortions occur at 21 weeks or greater.

Today, the number of abortions has declined from a peak of 29.3 per 1000 women aged 15-44 in 1979 to 19.4 per thousand. It has only slowly dropped over the last several years because poor women have not had access to Family Planning Facilities for education and prevention of pregnancy through effective birth control measures.

Who Has Abortions?

Fifty percent of U.S. women obtaining abortion are younger than 25: Women aged 20-24 obtain 33% of all abortions, and teenagers obtain 17%.

37% of abortions occur with black women, 34% with non-Hispanic white women, 22% to Hispanic women and 8% to women of other races.

Women who obtain abortion represent every religious affiliation. 43% of women obtaining abortion identify themselves as Protestant, and 27% as Catholic; and 13% of abortion patients describe themselves as born-again or Evangelical Christians.

Most women receiving abortion (83%) are unmarried. Women who have never married obtain two-thirds of all abortions. 16% are separated, divorced, or widowed. Married women are significantly less likely than unmarried women to resolve unintended pregnancies through abortion. About 60% of abortions are obtained by women who have one or more child.

The abortion rate among women living below the federal poverty level ($9,570.) is per women (below 100% of poverty) is nearly four times that of women above 200% of poverty (112 vs. 29 per 1000 women).

The decision to have an abortion is never simple. The reasons women provide for having an abortion underscores their understanding of the responsibilities of parenthood and family life. Three-fourths of women cite concerns for or responsibility to other individuals; three-fourths say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or the ability to care for dependents; and half say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner. Lack of money ranks very high. Many feel the responsible course of action is to wait until their situation is more suited to child rearing; 66% plan to have children when they are older and financially able to provide for a child and/or in a supportive relationship with a partner so their children can have two parents. Others wanted to get pregnant and developed serious medical problems, learned that the fetus had severe abnormalities, or experienced some other personal crisis. Each year, about 13,000 women have abortions because they became pregnant as a result of rape or incest.

Only 1% of women say they have been forced or pressured into having an abortion. There are some women who do not want to continue their pregnancy but are pressured to do so by family members, friends, or fear of social stigma. Pre-abortion counseling is designed to determine whether a woman is fully comfortable with her abortion decision, and if she is not, she is encouraged to wait until she has had a chance to consider her options more fully.

Most women do not later regret their decision to terminate their pregnancy. Relief is the most common emotional response following abortion, and psychological distress appears to be felt the greatest before, rather than after, an abortion.

There are undoubtedly some women who, in hindsight, wish that they had made a different choice and the majority would prefer never to have become pregnant when the circumstances were not right for them. When a wanted pregnancy is ended (for medical reasons) women may experience a sense of loss and grief. As with any major change or decision involving loss, a crisis later in life sometimes leads to a temporary resurfacing of sad feelings surrounding the abortion. Women at risk for post-abortion adjustment are those who do not get the support they need, or whose abortion decisions are actively opposed by people who are close to them.

Contraceptive Use

54% of women having abortions had used a contraceptive method (usually the condom or the pill) during the month they became pregnant. Among those women, 76% of pill users and 49% of condom users report having used their method inconsistently, while 13% of pill users and 14% of condom users report correct use. Some women used hgh supplements after the abortion for recovery. There is no contraceptive method that can prevent pregnancy 100% of the time.

46% percent of women who have abortion had not used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant. Of these women, 33% had perceived themselves to be at low risk for pregnancy, 32% had concerns about contraceptive methods, 26% had unexpected sex and 1% had been forced to have sex.

8% of women who have abortion have never used a method of birth control; non-use is greatest among those who are young, poor, black, Hispanic or less educated.

About half of unintended pregnancies occur among the 11% of women who are at risk for unintended pregnancy but are not using contraceptives. Most of these women have practiced contraception in the past.

Most women who have an abortion have not had one previously (52%) or only one previous abortion (26%). If women used abortion as their primary method of birth control, they would be getting pregnant 2 or 3 times a year. With nearly 30 years of possibly becoming pregnant abortion can’t be used as any woman’s primary source of birth control. There is also a very high likelihood of having one or two unintended pregnancies over a thirty year period of time.

Safety of Abortion

Risk associated with abortion is minimal. Less than 0.3% of abortion patients experience a complication that requires hospitalization.

Abortions performed in the first trimester pose virtually no long-term risk of problems such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) or birth defect, and little or no risk of preterm or low-birth-weight deliveries.

Following exhaustive reviews, the U.S. and British governments have concluded that there is no association between abortion and breast cancer. There is also no indication that abortion is a risk factor for other cancers.

The risk of death associated with abortion increases with the length of pregnancy, from one death for every one million abortions at or before eight weeks to one per 29,000 at 16-20 weeks, and one per 11,000 at 21 or more weeks. The latter numbers have decreased significantly over the past 10 years due to advancement in abortion surgical procedure techniques and the new medications used to terminate pregnancy.

58% of abortion patients say they would have liked to have had their abortion earlier. Nearly 60% of women who experienced a delay in obtaining an abortion cite the reasons were the time it took to make arrangements and raise money.

Unfortunately, teens are more likely than older women to delay having an abortion until 15 weeks of pregnancy, when the medical risks associated with abortion are significantly higher.

In my daughter’s eyes (3 of 12)

- The first sequel to The best mistake -

Summary: Six months after the birth of their daughter Mae Oliver and Felicity live in Boston as a young family. Going to college and raising a baby is more difficult than either of them could have seen coming. Especially Oliver seems to have trouble settling down in the new city. When he finally finds new friends, he soon finds himself being dragged back into old behavior. Will he realize before he risks everything he built the last months?

Rating: Teen

Previous chapters: 1 2 or read everything on Ao3

Special thanks to Diva Alex @pr0fessi0nal-fangurl for editing this story!

When he got off the bus, Oliver quickly pulled the zipper of his leather jacket higher. He hadn’t realized how cold it had gotten up until now. Taking the first steps into what was hopefully the right direction, he pulled his phone from the pocket of his jacket and checked that he really way on the right way.

He was almost nervous about this evening though he couldn’t say why. Meeting for a study group and actually studying together shouldn’t be as much of a big deal as the quick beating of his heart might want to make him believe it was. Sighing, Oliver had to admit to himself that it was less the studying and more meeting new people that made him nervous. That had never exactly made him nervous before either, but that was different now. He still didn’t really know anyone here and this was the closest to finding new friends he had been since moving to Boston.

Oliver really didn’t know why it was so difficult for him to find new friends now that he was a father. Of course most people his age didn’t waste a single thought on becoming parents yet which was only natural. If it hadn’t been for the unplanned pregnancy, he wouldn’t waste a thought on kids yet either. It wasn’t like being friends with him meant that they all needed to settle down and have kids now and despite what people might think teenage parenthood wasn’t contagious either.

Take Tommy for example! Tommy definitely didn’t think about having a baby now or anytime in the near future. God, he didn’t even hold her. Since Mae was born, he had never been closer to her than one foot. Of course he had found a hundred reasons why that was, but Oliver knew there was actually only one reason that kept Tommy from holding his best friend’s daughter – he was absolutely terrified of that little girl. He listened to whatever Oliver told him about Mae and asked about her occasionally, though, because Tommy cared about him and about what was going on in his life. That was all Oliver expected of a friend.

Chuckling, Oliver shook his head and turned onto the street to his right. It was the one Sebastian had texted him to come to for the study group. Quickly Oliver closed the map app on his phone and opened messenger instead.

O: Everything alright with Mae?

When he had left his home fifteen minutes ago, leaving Mae with Laurel, the little girl had been unusually whiney. She had reached her arms out for him longingly after he had given her a goodbye kiss on her red and slightly heated cheek. She had been clingy all day like she had known that her parents had decided to leave her for a few hours today.

Oliver had been going back and forth about whether or not to go to his study group because of that. Mae’s clinginess and her whining just unsettled him because usually she wasn’t like that. She had never minded being babysat, otherwise the whole deal with the Diggles would be for nothing. Anyway, leaving a crying baby, even when he knew that she was in good hands, really didn’t sit well with him.

Felicity had told him that it was probably just because she was teething. The last days it had become worse. Mae wasn’t eating that much anymore and her gums seemed to hurt badly. She was chewing on everything she could find. Felicity had bought these silicon finger stall you could by in a pharmacy. With them they could massage their daughter’s gums. It had helped a little, but the little girl was still in pain and clingy.

Laurel and Felicity had both told him to go to the study group despite that, though. Whatever he could do to make it easier for Mae, Laurel could do the same thing. Given that the study group and meeting new people was kind of important to him, he had let them talk him into going. He might not feel completely comfortable about it, but he knew it was probably the right thing to do.

L: It took awhile until she let herself be calmed down, but now she is all quiet. We’ve spent the last few minutes on the couch. She’s lying on my stomach, cuddling her pink octopus. We’re fine.

Oliver released a sigh of relief. This was good. If Mae was better, he felt better about going to the study group. Before he could text back, Laurel sent him another text.

L: By the way, Felicity and you are annoying. She texted me three times already. I am able to take care of my little niece for an evening without you two texting me every few minutes to check on us.

Oliver released a breathy chuckle, shaking his head. He knew Felicity had been a little worried too. She had just been a little less obvious about it, probably to not unsettle him even more. When Mae had been sick the first time, they had both freaked out because they hadn’t known what to do. Both of their mothers had to calm them down with all their experience about babies or otherwise he and Felicity would have gone insane.

O: If anything is going on, she’s crying or something, just text me and I’ll come back as soon as possible.

It didn’t take long until Laurel answered.

L: Don’t worry. Mae and I have everything under control. If that changes, I’ll text you immediately. Enjoy the studying. ;)

Sighing once more, Oliver pushed his phone back into the pocket of his jacket and took a quick look around until he found the house with the number 214. Loud music and voices came from an open window on the second floor. Studying could be difficult with that, Oliver thought with a chuckle, shaking his head.

He was about to ring the bell when the front door to the apartment complex opened from the inside. The man that stepped out held the door open for Oliver, so he quickly stepped in. The stench of cigarette smoke met him and Oliver scrunched up his nose. It looked like the party was going well if volume and stench were any benchmark for that. Well, someone had to live the cliché life of college students, right?

Shaking his head, Oliver walked upstairs. Sebastian lived in the apartment 2B, probably right next to the party. If his neighbors were the kind of people that threw a party every other day, Oliver wasn’t surprised that Sebastian had trouble studying.

When Oliver arrived at the second floor, he took a quick look to both his sides to find apartment B. He frowned when he found that it was the one the loud music and voices were coming from. Maybe he should check if he had remembered a wrong address or otherwise text Sebastian to see if maybe he had given him a wrong one. If there was a party taking place in this apartment here, it definitely couldn’t be the place where their study group was supposed to happen.

Before Oliver could grab his phone from the pocket of his jacket, though, the door opened and Sebastian stepped out, smiling at him wildly. “Ollie, hi. I was already wondering if you were out here.”

“Yeah…” Oliver said slowly. “I was a little bit surprised about the party. Weren’t we supposed to meet for a study group?”

Or had ‘study group’ been a codeword for ‘party’ he hadn’t gotten right because it had been like forever ago that he had been on a party the last time?

“Oh, yes.” Sebastian chuckled. He approached Oliver in the hallway, leaving the door to the apartment ajar. “After I invited you, I asked a few more people to come over and… I don’t know. It seems like the whole thing got out of hand. Suddenly more and more people came here, someone brought a beer barrel and the study group turned into a party crowd.”

Oliver pressed his lips together tightly. He knew a lot about lies and excuses. When he and Felicity had been dating in secret, he had needed a lot of lies and excuses to get Tommy off his back. His best friend had wanted to drag him from party to party when Oliver had much rather spent time in the library, learning about… Biology with Felicity. Anyway, because of that Oliver knew exactly when someone was lying to him and when they were telling the truth.

When Sebastian just continued to smile at him too widely to be really honest, Oliver crossed his arms in front of his chest and cocked his head, giving him a look. He hated when people tried to take him for a fool, especially when they were doing it so obviously.

Sebastian had the decency to stop the farce with a sigh. The wide smile fell from his lips and was replaced by an expression of maybe not shame but at least regret or whatever to call it. He lowered his gaze to the floor for a moment, moving his fingers through his gelled hair.

“Look, Ollie, I’m really sorry,” he said eventually. “The plan was to study for the class and then maybe drink a beer before I would kick all of you out until next week. It was never meant to get out of hand like this, but… to be honest I don’t really hang out with the kind of people that spend their evening studying. I know I should study more, but I am really not that motivated for something like that. Anyway, when I realized it would turn into a party, I thought about texting you and telling you the changed plans. Then I figured that you would most likely cancel for the evening, so I decided to not text you.”

Oliver perked up his eyebrow. “So I would come here, find there is a party going one here and leave then?”

“No,” Sebastian replied with a sigh. “Okay, I admit that I did this the wrong way. It’s just that you were so… sad… when I met you in the library and told me that you hadn’t found friends here.”

Oliver bit his tongue. Yes, he had been unhappy about that. It was no reason to lie to him, though, especially not like this. “And then?”

“I figured you wouldn’t come to the party if I told you about it because of your daughter. You live a different life now and I understand that your life is very different than ours and I don’t want to mess with that,” Sebastian explained. “You don’t need to turn your life upside down and spend every night partying from now on. We sometimes meet and don’t party either, you know? Anyway, I just think a little private party once in a while doesn’t hurt. You will get to know some people and you have fun together and you will have a lot of friends to hang out with between and after classes in like no time. This is just so they get to know you.”

Oliver bit his tongue even more firmly. He still didn’t like that Sebastian had lied to him, but everything else he had just said made sense. Partying was what most people in college did, so a party was probably where he was most likely to find new friends. It was just that Oliver remembered how most parties had ended for him when he had still been partying excessively. He had either been drunk, making out with some random girl or – like in most cases – both.

It was a long time since that had happened the last time and Oliver didn’t necessarily think that it would happen to him now. He was not really interested in getting drunk and there was no way he was going to hook up with any girl that wasn’t Felicity. The problem was that Oliver remembered very clearly that everyone else on the parties had done the same. Meeting people while they were drunk and/or randomly hooking up with others was not the beginning of the friendships he had hoped so build.

“I don’t know…”

Sebastian stepped closer, putting a hand to his shoulder. “Come on, you don’t even need to stay long. I just introduce you to some people that go to our college and within an hour you are already out here and on your way back to your daughter.”

Oliver pursed his lips, taking in a deep breath. “I’m really not sure this is a good idea.”

“Just one beer,” Sebastian urged him. “Now that you are here already…”

Oliver sighed. “Fine. I am going to stay one hour, but then I am out and no alcohol for me.”

“Alright.” Sebastian shrugged his shoulders. Before Oliver could say anything more, Sebastian already wrapped his arm around his shoulders and pulled him with him into the apartment. “The first one I got to introduce you to is Carter Bowen. He is a little arrogant, but he’s a lot of fun to hang out with once you know him. He throws the best kind of parties because his father lets him do whoever he pleases. We spent the last weekend on his yacht. It was by far the best party in a while. Besides, Carter’s older brother always gets us all the alcohol we need. Oh, just put your jacket to the stairs.”

“Your apartment has two floor?”

“No, the stairs lead to the roof. I always make sure they are barricaded when there is a party here. The last I need is trouble because someone fell from the roof while being drunk.”

“That makes sense,” Oliver mumbled though he felt it was probably even more trouble for the person who would fall down there, but he bit that back. He still had a slightly bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, but Sebastian was right. He was already here and what was one hour if that really helped him finding friends?

Sebastian was right. Carter Bowen was a little arrogant though Oliver would probably scratch the ‘little’ because his ego seemed to be filling the whole room. Handsome, rich boy obviously knew exactly how attracted the girls were to him. The fact that one pretty blonde was linked to each of his arms told Oliver that the girls didn’t seem to mind his attitude, though. Money beat character for them it seemed.

Despite Carter’s less than pleasant character there was one thing that made Oliver ignore his arrogance, though. Carter Bowen hated Max Fuller with passion.

“Okay, and now I want to hear the story that is behind this punch,” Carter said loudly. He took Oliver’s empty beer cup, threw it somewhere in the room behind him and thrust a full one into his hand the next second. “You struck him perfectly and I need to hear everything about how Max suffered.”

Oliver took a sip from his beer. When, back in high school, he had punched Max Fuller after he had offended Felicity and their at that time unborn baby, someone must have filmed the scene. Oliver hadn’t known there was a video until Carter had come up with it just like that. Oliver assumed that whoever had recorded the scene hadn’t dared to spread it after the school’s principal had been very particular about not allowing any rumor or something else to be spread about what had happened. Nobody wanted to be kicked out of school only months before their graduation. Carter had showed it to him and the little group of people they were standing with, complaining that there was no audio, so he couldn’t hear the pained whining when Fuller had gone down on his knees. Anyway, after watching the video twice, Carter had handed Oliver a beer instead of another coke and he hadn’t rejected it.

He didn’t like to admit it, but he was glad that he had decided to stay. Maybe these people weren’t exactly the ones he had pictured when he had figured that he needed to find friends here. He couldn’t say that he didn’t enjoy chatting with them about nothing important, though. It was nice to spend an evening relaxing like this.

“Spit it out, Queen,” Carter encouraged him.

Oliver shrugged his shoulders. “Max offended my girlfriend and I… stopped him.”

“And now the whole story with a little more details please.”

Oliver sighed. He wasn’t exactly proud of what he had done. When Max had started offending Felicity, he had told himself to keep calm and not lose control. Then Max had made a comment about Mae and he had just seen red. He had punched Max’ face again and again until his nose had been broken. He would have probably continued if it hadn’t been for Tommy and Laurel, who had held him back, and for Felicity to step in front of him and pull him away from his rage. On the other hand Oliver couldn’t really say that he regretted it either because Max had deserved that broken nose.

“Tommy and I were in the library to study. My girlfriend, her sister and a friend were studying at a table nearby. Max and his friends came into the library and started making fun of her. Her-“

“Make fun of her how?” Carter wanted to know.

Oliver’s grip on the beer cup tightened and he clenched his teeth. The more he thought back about Fuller, the more he felt the knuckles of his hand prickling with the need to punch him again. He didn’t consider himself a violent person, but the name Max Fuller alone was still enough to make him doubt that occasionally.

“I don’t remember what exactly he said,” Oliver lied because he didn’t want to go too much into the details of what Fuller had said, knowing that he would only get angrier. “He was very cruel to her, making fun of her pregnancy and the baby and her sisters-“

“Hold back a second!” Carter interrupted him. “Pregnancy? Baby?”

Oliver nodded. The video had ended before Felicity had stepped into the picture to calm him down and the video had been spread without any context. Oliver had thought that maybe Sebastian would have already mentioned that he was a dad, but apparently he had left that little detail unmentioned.

“My girlfriend got pregnant during our last year in high school. We have an almost seven months old daughter.”

“And Fuller offended the both of them?” Carter asked.

Again Oliver nodded, mumbling, “Though ‘offending’ might be an understatement.”

Carter stared at him with wide eyes for a moment longer before he said, “Dude, that guy is lucky you didn’t break his neck. Offending a guy’s girl is one thing, but the child?”

“Yeah, I just saw red,” Oliver explained, shrugging his shoulders, “and that video was the result.”

Carter chuckled, shaking his head. “Man, I know I should definitely never piss you off if you throw punches like that.”

“Probably better for your face,” Oliver mumbled.

After he had been kicked out of the football team at school because of this little incident, he had gone to the gym to work out on his own more often and free weights had been one his training schedule a lot. Besides, since he went to the gym with John more often, he even had someone to actually train him in boxing. Oliver did know how to pack a good punch and he wasn’t afraid to show that if he was provoked though he was sure it was the memory of Max Fuller’s words that make him think that.

“You definitely look like you are working out a lot,” the girl that was clinging to Carter’s right arm said.

Before Oliver got to reply, two hands pushed around his bicep from the side and a familiar voice said, “Oh, I can only confirm that from what your arms feel like.”

When Carrie clung to his arm – he had successfully suppressed the thought that she was friends with Sebastian and could maybe be here – Oliver quickly released his arm from her hands and took a step away from her, bringing some distance between them. “I do work out a lot, thanks.”

“You should join me in my private gym,” Carter suggested.

“Maybe I’ll be around for some relaxing hours in the sauna after that,” Carrie suggested, giving him what Oliver assumed was a seducing smile, but the only effect it had on him was that he felt the need to roll with his eyes.

“I think in that case I need to give it a pass,” Oliver replied, shooting Carrie a look.

The redhead looked like she wanted to say something more. Instead she puckered her lips and reached out her hand as if to touch his chest. Oliver quickly caught her wrist midair, intending to just push her hand away from him. When he got a look on her watch, though, his eyes widened.

“Wait, it’s already eleven?”

“Yes, why?” Carter asked.

“I need to…” Oliver pushed his hands into the pockets of his jeans, searching for his phone. He groaned when he realized he had forgotten it in his jacket.

When he turned around to head towards the stairs where Sebastian had told him to put his jacket, Carter called after him, “Hey, Ollie? Where are you going?”

“Need to check my phone!” Oliver just called back over his shoulder.

He pushed through the partying crowd as quickly as possible, leaving his beer cup on a table in the living room. He had completely lost his sense of time. After he had let Sebastian take him into the apartment, he had introduced him to a few people before they had found Carter. Oliver hadn’t known that all of it had taken so long. He had never planned to stay this long, especially not without occasionally checking his phone to make sure Mae really was okay. He had thought the phone was in the pocket of his pants where he could feel the vibrations if someone texted him.

When he reached the hall and saw all the jackets on the stairs, Oliver groaned. “That’s great.”

He quickly started pushing the jackets out of the way until he finally found his. His hand immediately pushed into the pocket and pulled out his phone.

Seven messages from Laurel. Two messages and one missed call from Felicity.

“Fuck!”

Putting his jacket over his arm, he left Sebastian’s apartment and hurried down the stairs to get outside. He thought about calling a cab, but with a glance at the time on his phone he figured that maybe with a quick sprint he would catch the last bus. That was why the second he stepped outside on the sidewalk, he started running.

His mind was already running wildly, wondering what could have happened. Maybe Mae wasn’t just teething and she was actually sick like he had feared. Laurel had texted him so often, so maybe Mae was running a fever. Her cheek had already felt slightly heated when Oliver had kissed her cheek before leaving.

The moment he slumped into one of the free seats in the bus Oliver started reading the texts Laurel and Felicity had sent him.

L: I think Mae’s running a fever. Where is the medical thermometer?

L: Okay, found it! 101° F…

L: Texted my dad. He said leg compresses could help. I’m gonna try that.

L: Leg compresses helped at first, but now she is crying again. She really doesn’t seem okay. Maybe you should come home. Or should I text Felicity?

L: Ollie? Could you please send me a short text to make me know that you are on your way back home or at least reading this? I have never watched Mae when she was sick. I don’t know what to do!!!

L: OLLIE!!!

F: Where are you? Laurel has been trying to reach you for an hour!

F: Anyway, I am on my way back home now.

L: I called Felicity. Sorry I had to cut your evenings short. Let’s hope Mae has better mood the next time I watch her… :)

Oliver bit his tongue, suppressing a few curse words that came to his mind. He had always taken care that his phone was in his reach since Mae had been born. After what had happened during her birth, when he had been unavailable and Oliver had almost been too late to hear his daughter’s first cries, he had been very careful to have his phone in his reach all the time.

How could he have forgotten that today?

Taking in a deep breath and telling himself that Felicity was with Mae now so everything was alright, Oliver decided to listen to Felicity’s voice message. She had left it only fifteen minutes ago. When the message started with a whining sound from Mae, Oliver squeezed his eyes shut and suppressed another flood of curse words that came to his mind.

“Hey,” Felicity’s voice said. “Uhm… I guess your phone is out of your reach right now. Or maybe your battery died or you have forgotten your phone or lost it… in which cases leaving this message makes absolutely no sense…”

Oliver released a breathy chuckle, shaking his head. Felicity’s babbling never failed to cheer him up, no matter how crappy he felt.

“Anyway,” she continued after a moment, “Laurel tried to reach you because Mae is running a slight fever. It’s not that bad, though. I am home now and she is already feeling better. I guess being sick and not being with mommy and daddy was just not what sat well with our little baby girl.”

That was good. Mae was good. That really was the only thing that mattered right now.

“I am a little bit worried about you, though,” Felicity added, “because it’s really unlikely of you to not have your phone close. I hope it just means that you are having fun. Anyway, maybe you can text me or call me, so I know that you are okay. Well, that is if your phone wasn’t stolen or anything in which case leaving this message makes absolutely no sense… like I mentioned before already. Okay… uhm… Bye and see you later.”

Oliver bit down on his bottom lip, considering to text Felicity now. Since the bus turned into his street, though, he decided against it and pushed his phone into the pocket of his leather jacket instead. As soon as the bus stopped, Oliver dismounted and hurried towards his home.

He walked upstairs in like no time, so his breathing was heavy and his heart was beating quickly. Pulling out his keys from the pocket of his jeans, he tried to take some deep breaths and calm down. If Mae saw how unsettled he was, she was most likely going to start crying. She always reacted to her parent’s emotions. When they smiled, she smiled. When they were out of themselves, then she was too.

Oliver unlocked the door. He was met with silence, so he closed the door behind him quietly, put his keys to the small table next to the door and tiptoed through the small hall. He glanced into the kitchen, but nobody was there, so he tiptoed further to the living room.

He sucked in a deep breath, seeing both of his girls perfectly fine on the couch. Felicity was lying on her back, her head resting on the armrest of the couch. Mae was lying with her tummy down on her mother’s stomach. Her head was nestled against Felicity’s breasts as if to hear her heartbeat. They were both asleep, their chests rising and falling in the same rhythm as their breaths were synchronized.

Oliver squeezed his eyes shut, sending a prayer to a god he wasn’t sure he believed in that Mae was okay. He knew he had probably overreacted with his worry, but when his daughter was sick, he just freaked out and the fact that he hadn’t been available… Oliver shook his head.

Quietly he stepped closer to the bed. He moved his fingertips over Mae’s cheek. Her skin was still red and warm, but he was almost sure that the fever had already decreased. He watched his little girl for a few seconds, enjoying the sight of her sleeping peacefully, before he looked at Felicity. She was sleeping too, but unlike their daughter she looked slightly exhausted. There was a wrinkle between her eyebrows that told him that she had probably falling asleep thinking intensely. He brushed his thumb against it and it disappeared, making him smile.

Oliver lifted Felicity’s hand from Mae’s back and carefully lifted the sleeping baby into his arms. Mae didn’t move. She just released a deep sigh that mixed with Felicity’s when she turned onto her side.

“You scared the hell out of daddy, you know that?” Oliver whispered into Mae’s ear and kissed her temple, carrying her into her nursery. “Daddy is sorry for not being here sooner. He feels terrible about it. Good thing mommy came back to take care of you, right?”

When Oliver put Mae into her crib, her little fingers held onto the neckline of his shirt, unwilling to let go. He gently moved his thumb over the back of her hand before he tried to take it off his shirt. Mae released a low cry, though.

“It’s okay, Sweetheart,” he whispered, stroking his fingers over her short hair. “Daddy and Mommy are home. You are not alone.”

He knew that she couldn’t understand him, especially since she was asleep. She let go of his shirt nonetheless and Oliver just wanted to believe that it was because she knew her parents were there. There was nothing a parent needed to know more than that their kids knew they were not alone.

Slowly he left the nursery and walked back into the living room, kneeling down on the floor right next to Felicity’s head. He stroked his fingertips over her cheek, just watching her for a moment before he leaned forward and brushed his lips against her forehead between her eyebrows where the wrinkle had been before.

Felicity stirred, stretching her legs and releasing a sleepy sigh. She frowned before he eyes opened. Her pupils were small, the tiredness obvious in her facial expression.

“Hi,” Oliver whispered, his fingertips still moving over her cheek.

“Hey,” Felicity replied with a smile.

“I’m sorry for not hearing my phone. I thought it was in the pocket of my pants, but it was in my jacket. Then I forgot my watch and lost every sense for time. I haven’t even realized how late it had gotten. When I finally checked my phone, you were already here and…” He shrugged his shoulders, releasing a low sigh. “I’m sorry.”

Felicity smiled, reaching out her hand and moving her fingertips over his short stubble. Oliver kept her hand in place at the side of his face and snuggled his cheek into her touch, closing his eyes.

“Don’t worry. It’s alright,” she told him and yawned. “Curtis, Ray and I were already finished. We were just playing around with some algorithms, enjoying some time as nerds together, but it was nothing important.”

“Okay, that’s good.”

“Mae’s fine by the way. I don’t think she has caught anything serious,” she told him. “Laurel just didn’t know what to do because Mae was crying so much and then with the fever…”

“Yeah, I get that,” Oliver replied, nodding his head.

They smiled at each other for a long moment, nobody saying a word. Then Felicity leaned forward and captured his lips with his in a slow and gentle kiss. Oliver sighed at the soft feeling of her lips against his. He opened her lips to his and stroked his tongue against hers for a moment. The taste of her lips and tongue slowed down his heartbeat and calmed him deep down in his chest in a way only Felicity could.

He was about to deepen the kiss when Felicity pulled back, frowning at him slightly. She licked her lips, her frown deepening even more.

“Did you drink beer?”

Oliver’s heart skipped a beat before it started racing in his chest. He could hear the blood rushing in his ears. At the same time his breath got caught in his throat.

He hadn’t known about the party, so it wasn’t like he had lied to her about it. Sebastian had been the one lying to him about it actually. Oliver had willingly chosen to go into his apartment after he had found out about the party, though. He had drunk some beer and though it hadn’t been enough for him to get drunk, it had been enough to make him loose sense for time and make him forgot to check his phone for any messages from Laurel.

This would be much easier to explain if Felicity hadn’t had to leave her study group while he had still been partying. He felt guilty, terribly guilty even.

“We just had a beer after the studying.”

The moment the words were out of his mouth Oliver felt his stomach twist and turn painfully. He and Felicity had never lied to each other. It was actually the reason why their relationship worked so well because they were always honest with each other. After all the struggles during the pregnancy because of both of their insecurities, they had sworn to each other to always be honest about their feelings. So far they had always taken that to heart and it had helped them adjusting to their new life as parents.

It didn’t make sense that he started lying to her now! Yes, he felt guilty about not being available and being at a party instead of in a study group. There had been no way for him to know that it was going to be a party when he had headed out earlier tonight, though. It hadn’t been his fault there hadn’t been a study group. His fault was just going to that party and forgetting his phone in the jacket. He had made a mistake, a forgivable mistake actually. Right? It was forgivable.

So why the hell did he lie?

He was about to take the lie back, unsure about how to do that yet, when Felicity asked him, “So the evening was good?”

Oliver nodded. “I got to know a few people, so I guess it was just what I needed.”

“That’s great,” Felicity replied and yawned once more. “I think I will just sleep on the couch. I am too tired to get into bed.”

The last syllable had just escaped her lips when she yawned once more. Oliver pressed his lips together. Felicity looked terribly tired. Her eyes had almost fallen shut again while she had been speaking. Oliver knew he had to rectify his lie and tell her the truth, but she would probably be pissed at him for lying which made sense, so maybe he should delay this to tomorrow. A few hours more or less weren’t that bad, right?

“I’ll carry you to bed, okay?”

“My hero,” Felicity said, blindly reaching out her arms for him.

With a chuckle Oliver lifted her from the couch and into his arms. Her head rested against his shoulder, her arms wrapping around his neck loosely. Oliver kissed her forehead and carried her into their bathroom. As soon as he had laid her down on the mattress, he took a step back, slipped out of his clothes and slid into bed next to her. His hands reached out for her body immediately, pulling her close against him before pulling the blanket over both of them.

“Good night, Oliver,” Felicity whispered, her breath ghosting over his naked chest and leaving goosebumps there.

“Night, Felicity,” he whispered back and kissed her forehead. “I love you.”

Felicity’s response was a sleepy muttering of words he didn’t understand, but it made him smile sadly. He tightened his hold around her, kissing her forehead.

How quickly everything could change. A few hours ago he could have sworn that he wouldn’t be seen on any college party anytime soon because he loved Felicity and Mae and the life they had built. He still did. He still loved Felicity and Mae and their life together more than anything. He had liked the party too, though, and for some reason that scared him and he was sure it had to do with the fact that the party had caused him to lie to Felicity, something he had always sworn himself he would never do.

He would have to make this alright again. He would. It would be the first thing tomorrow.
