Melatonin is a delicate balancing act, it took some time to find a dose that helped me fall and stay asleep without leaving me groggy after 8/10 hours. For me, that has been 10 mg gradually increased to such over a few weeks then steady since.
I also take roughly a week without it every month or two, as the bottle recommends. Listen to your body and do what you can. Good luck, and thank you for the sweet gay were/pire comic<3
Yeah, I can tell my sweet zone is somewhere between 3 and 6 mg, at least right now. Or at least I think it is. Admittedly my sleep has been absolutely horrible since I was a kid so my standards on "not tired" are pretty low, so I'm not actually sure if they're any good right now. All I know is I'm getting more than 2 hours of sleep at a time, and I'm not spending every waking moment fighting off a nap!
Thanks for the confirmation I've gotta test with it and go off and on and such, my doc didn't give me a straight answer on that (he just kept saying take it as needed... I need it every night!!!). 75% of the time being good is way better than 0% so I'll take what I can get!
And the gay comics are the least I can do 🧡 thank you for reading it!

list of reasons i find Brook ridiculous
for brook’s birthday, ive decided to follow up my other two posts of this genre by dragging yet another idiot swordsman. i have everybrook open on my phone next to me. here we go
- first and foremost his most ridiculous crime is existing. as he’s already so ridiculous as a character, im going to talk only about things hes done
- i want to know, did Brook make a conscious effort to change his laugh to sound like his favorite song? how long did it take? what was the in between period like? what did his crew have to say about this? the rumbar pirates were big on playful teasing, did they let Brook live this down? 
- ALTERNATIVELY: was brook’s laugh already like that? is that why bink’s sake is his favorite song? is that why it was York’s favorite-- oh we only made it two bullet points before i made myself sad
- relatedly i cannot make fun of anything Brook did in his backstory it will make me too sad. hes spared for now
- i DO want to say from a writing standpoint its so fucking ridiculous to me that he mentions twice being a convoy captain in the past and it never comes up again. oda?? why even bother to include something that cool if you weren't even going to do anything with it?? you could have said hes just always been a pirate but no. oda?? oda
- there was that bit where a bunch of people thought Brook was satan and addressed him as such (i think Satan-sama in the original, and the translation i read was like... Lord Satan or Lord Demon or something). not only did Brook never correct them, but he also ran with it and later used this case of mistaken identity as a reason to threaten to eat a man’s heart 
- also both men and women were showing him their underwear in that bit. bi rights
- those satanists let Brook get kidnapped while saying they would try to summon him back. do you think they're still at it
- Brook is older than... basically every old man in the series. Garp, Whitebeard, Rayleigh... all of them. something about that is so weird to me and i cannot place why
- Brook has seen and can prove the existence of an afterlife in One Piece canon and its then never addressed again
- Brook missed so many huge events while being dead. im looking at a timeline rn and these include the obvious, like, roger’s execution and subsequent effect on in-world culture and society and whatever. but also things like the destruction of ohara (which was in his home sea), the founding of the world power known as the revolutionary army (which was about 20yrs ago), and the births of every other member of his crew. wack
- he seems to know about stuff related to the pirate king post time skip, and i wonder if thats because someone told him or he’s just playing along now. maybe he just thinks Luffy made up the term pirate king cuz it sounds cool and he wants to support his captain’s interests
- if he DID ask though, like, who did he ask? his managers? did he pull aside some fan asking for an autograph at a concert like “hey, you look like a knowledgable young lad, mind helping me out?”
- i would love to be there when someone takes the time to explain roger, the pirate king, raffle, the One Piece.... and Brook asks them “what is the One Piece?”.... and someone has to look him in the eye (...or not) and tell him “i don't know” 
- Brook has technically died of fright (his soul left his body), like... at least once? it was luffy’s fault
- Brook was an urban legend on the florian triangle and i doubt he even knows that about himself
- when they're heading to fishmen island Brook gets all scared when they encounter a possible ghost ship and Usopp slaps him
- when captured by big mom he sleeps so godamn soundly and securely that he is harder to wake up than she is and this fact nearly gets a bunch of his crew killed
- Brook is the only character i can think of who has ever broken the fourth wall. he only did it once. maybe seeing the afterlife means he now knows hes in a manga. or maybe being isolated for 50 years just made his head be not screwed on right
- speaking of, there’s a bit in WCI at the wedding where Brook is decapitated. i don't know how it goes in the anime, but in the manga like... no one is shown to have decapitated him. his head just pops off. maybe he was just having fun
- also the bit where he rips the fake face off in wci. when someone calls him gross he cries
- there’s a bit in fishmen island where Brook is trying to ask Nami if he can see her panties (disgusting bastard) and he inadvertently protects her from being dehydrated by some guy they were fighting. except the panel setup reminds me a lot of / mimics ace protecting Luffy from Akainu, and it haunts me
- speaking of bits from fishmen island that haunt me, there's a page where it’s strongly implied Brook fucked a mermaid (maybe two). i will of course include the page here
Tumblr media
- yeah. sorry. 
- when Brook first meets the strawhats he invites himself inside because “it’s cold out!” but he later admits in punk hazard that he cant feel cold. he was just lying
- no one introduces himself to Brook except Luffy for the entirety of thriller bark
- half related, Franky cradles Brook in his arms / carries Brook around for like a full scene in thriller bark 
- there's a link two second bit in film gold where the crew is just relaxing while they're planning for how they're going to get Zoro back and they're all shown eating burgers from pirate mcdonalds or whatever. and Brook is eating a burger and hes so messy that hes got burger on his forehead, and Franky is next to him just looking at him
- Brook also wears fake skin in that movie
- Brook has a running gag where he gets upset when things refuse to eat him and i was going to make a joke about it but im wondering if maybe hes just afraid of being left behind........ made myself sad again
- he cries when a dragon won't eat him tho
- Brook admits to reading monster hentai when talking to Sanji and Kin’emon and if i have to be burdened with knowing that so do you
- when hes trying to figure out the weakness of the zombies on thriller bark he overhears one ate a salted fish and lost its shadow and immediately assumes “oh, must have been the fish!” idiot man
- where does his sword cane go when hes not using it. it just appears. where does he store it
- there's a bit where the strawhats all use a combo attack at thriller bark and the first step is firing an electrically charged Brook in a slingshot through oars/oz. he ends up in a wall and no one ever pulls him out. i don't even think the manga shows how he got down
- enemies post time skip regularly assume Brook is dead when they manage to knock the crew out and it makes me wonder how popular of a rock star Brook actually was
- Brook goes on a mini rant to no one while they're descending to fisherman island where he wonders aloud how he sees without eyes and it makes me lose it
- this isn't Brook technically but Nekomamushi is based on a song Brook’s voice actor wrote about his cat.
- Brook literally doesn't have a brain. like i know we all know that but its so fucking funny. we make jokes about other strawhats only having one braincell or whatever but Brook straight up 100% just has a seashell where his brain is supposed to be 
-  why does he have rubber glove looking hands when hes haunting the castle at wano i fucking hate them
- relatedly, there’s a bit where Brook mentions he’s been, at kinemon’s interaction, sitting in a well for like... possibly days? is he okay
- honestly i love everything about Brook’s actions as a ghost in wano bc its so fucking funny but my FAVORITE fact is that Brook is in the wikipedia article about starving skeletons
Tumblr media
im leaving you with that. appreciate ur local skeleton today

hi okay i hate sending asks to people without knowing them but you seem kind so im trying: during the break, i’ve been working my way through VM, and i’m at episode 75. my question, because i’ve read some of your more recent meta, is “what’s Percy’s deal?” i know he’s loved by the fandom, but i can’t find myself relating to him, and i find his assertions that he’s the only one with a plan offputting. is there more context you can give to me about percy’s character that explains his motivations?
aww, thank you!
(and yeah, asks like this are totally fine, i totally get that anxiety, good job on sending this!)
i mean, first off, you don't have to like a character everyone else does? if you don't relate to percy you can just, not relate to percy, that's fine
(and to be fair, as much as i love him as a character, i would not want him as a friend, because he's a very flawed person that has a lot to work on, but in fiction those traits are interesting to watch rather than difficult to deal with)
but, percy's deal! the short answer is people generally like him because taliesin's funny and charismatic and he does morally grey right, which is rare and a fun thing to explore (also in his relationships with other people, the entire vex-vax-percy-keyleth square is full of neat parallels and opposites and interesting things and i have whole essays in my head on all six combos there)
i don’t know which posts you’ve read so i’ll link this one here too, just to cover a couple more of the generally unnoticed aspects of his character, and things i like about percy
he’s also far from perfect, as you’ve noted, he does tend to believe he’s the smartest person in any given room, because he’s young and clever and used to being that, which you’re allowed to find off putting, but i will say i find he does that less than a lot of characters of his general archetype? he listens to pike, he listens to keyleth, he listens to vex, he respects when they have more knowledge than him on a particular subject, he’s not above asking for help. and generally most of the arguments he has with keyleth on that subject aren’t him asserting he knows more than her, but more a matter of principles and values (they’re a really interesting pair that way, they have similar backgrounds, both children of royalty running away from the crown, but they’re such opposites. percy is a natural leader who would rather anyone rule than him, keyleth fumbles her way through all of it but sticks to it because she doesn’t want to let anyone down, percy is a pragmatist, keyleth is an idealist, they both are too focused on the big picture but in two completely different ways, i could write a whole other post on this, but to get to my point, they wouldn’t be such good balances for each other if percy didn’t absolutely respect where keyleth is coming from)
for the long answer, i’m gonna break this down into parts and try to get to the core of percy's character and why he is the way he is
(under the cut bc this gets long)
1 - heavy trauma
like... this is the really really big one. percy, at age 17 or 18, had his entire life up to that point completely destroyed. his family was killed, his friends were killed, people he trusted like family (professor anders, who was a more present figure in percy's life than his actual parents) betrayed him and helped the briarwoods, he was imprisoned in his own castle's dungeons and tortured for information, they threw his siblings' bodies in there with him to make a point, cassandra helped him escape but as far as he knew she died helping him. he has two years of his life after that he straight up doesn't remember, his hair turned white from the stress of it. 
trying to go after ripley the first time didn't work, he was captured and left to starve in a prison cell, for the first few months of travelling with vox machina he genuinely believed it wasn't real, because realistically no one was gonna come save him, this was just a hallucination of his dying mind. returning to whitestone he was forced to confront the fact that literally everyone he ever knew growing up (with the sole exception of archibald) was either dead or working with the briarwoods, and even after retaking the city there's a lot that can never be repaired. 
and he's just... never really dealt with any of this? like, he gave vox machina the technical details of what happened to him in the briarwood arc, because they needed to know that information, but the first time he actually started processing his trauma, the first time he admits it out loud to anyone, is the final episode of campaign one. before then it had been occasional snide or handwavey comments, and like, he'll let himself feel the anger over it (in the beginning of the story he encouraged it, because then he didn't have to feel anything else), but he's never processed the grief, never admitted to himself how badly that affected him
which means he's got a lot of pent up emotions in there that he just keeps burying, and sometimes they come out in unhealthy ways. having so much taken from him also makes him really motivated to keep the things he does have - he’s got some deep set abandonment issues and takes any kind of betrayal really badly, don’t know if you’ve got up to the scanlan stuff by the time i post this, but that’s something to keep in mind as to why he acts the way he does there. (and it’s not more explicit because percy was raised nobility, keeping a brave face through anything is part of who he is, he tends to cover emotions he’s insecure about in snark or indifference or, for the intense ones, anger, because those are the things he thinks he’s allowed to show, but the real emotions show up occasionally, when they’re particularly strong, or if you’re reading between the lines. he really does care a lot about vox machina)
2 - legacy and loyalty. 
speaking of nobility, it's hard to do a character study on percy without mentioning whitestone and the house of de rolo. this is the number one thing to percy. he was raised to respect title and name, and most importantly, raised to respect the people he represents - both the townsfolk of whitestone and also percy's ancestors and future de rolo generations. whitestone is more important than any one life, he has a duty to protect and serve it, and that comes before any personal wants he may have. it's also important to him for family reasons - he was a pretty lonely child, but he loved reading about the history of the city, all the weird ghost stories whitestone had even before the briarwoods. it probably made him feel more connected to all of that, this is the place he belongs. and after his family dies, it becomes even more important, because this is his connection to them. the soul of a city lives as long as its people, by protecting what's left, he keeps a little bit of what came before
(and also in just tidbits to understand percy's character, he sees all cities and man-made things the same way - in a world where some races live for centuries or millennia, their history exists mostly by word of mouth, you can physically talk to people who were around 500 years ago and get their take on things - humans don't have that, they get 100 years at most, so the things they build are vital to their heritage. this is how you keep people alive long after they're gone, by honouring what they created. and especially for someone so concerned with legacy and history, percy literally says abandoning westruun would be blasphemy, because the place people grew up is important, yes it's better that they live, but letting the city be abandoned and destroyed would be an irreparable act of violence.) 
this is the number one thing on percy's mind when evaluating anything about himself, where do i come from, and what do i leave behind? which is a question that has a lot of moments to be tested, because of my next point...
3 - pragmatism and terrible thoughts
when it comes down to it, percy is a very ends justify the means kind of person. he finds it very easy to square away any kind of collateral damage as long as it gets him to his end goal. see: trial of the take, where he's fine to catch his friends in the blast radius of a new bomb design because he's so excited that it worked, preparing to fight vorugal and resigning himself to potentially having to kill innocent people to kill the dragon (he wasn’t okay with that, but he would do it), also his conscious decision to let ripley go, knowing she would lead to the deaths of thousands because it was her or the briarwoods and he wanted revenge 
(this is by his own admission his lowest point and worst mistake, because as mentioned, he thinks about the consequences of his actions near constantly, he knew she would reproduce his guns and they would lead to a whole new form of warfare. but in that moment he was just blinded by grief and way too emotionally burnt out and did not have the capacity to care. and he spends the rest of the campaign and honestly probably the rest of his life trying to make up for that one)
he's also, by his own admission, someone who has a lot of bad thoughts he doesn't act on, he's very clever and creative and ideas for ways to use those skills for violence or vengeance come easily to him (like, percy as an actual villain would be ripley but worse, ripley's intelligent but a very direct point a to point b kind of thinker, percy has multiple times criticised her lack of imagination, a percy with her lack of morals would be terrifying)
(honestly this is why i was seeing percy so much in taliesin's narrative telephone, because "sometimes i wake up having dreamed of a terrible thing, and normally i just file that away for things that i would never do, because i wanna maintain friendships, but then LIAM did something to me." and the whole being absolutely fine with throwing the rest of the cast under the bus just to enact revenge on liam was quintessential percy)
but we’ve seen the pragmatic anti hero everywhere, anyone can be a terrible person, and have reasons for it, that alone doesn’t make an interesting character (at least not for me)
what does, is my last point
4 - trying to be good
i still vividly remember when i first watched campaign one, being really surprised at how much percy asked for help? like, i went in expecting the usual full on demon possession storyline, i expected percy to hide how bad it was, i expected him to make poor decisions without realising he was doing it until he was in too deep to back out
and like, he had some of that. but at the first sign of things being out of his control, he asked his friends for help. he let pike greater restoration him. he told vax to kill him if things ever got too out of hand. he was really, genuinely scared about what he got himself into and what he might do because of it. there was never a point where he pretended, even to himself, that making a deal with orthax was okay. the minute he realised there was a demon involved, he was working to stop it. and yeah, by the time he realised it was already a bit too late, there were already some things out of his control (and also taliesin kept having the worst rolls against the whitestone corruption which was really fun on a meta level), which is how things got as bad as they did. but honestly, all things considered, there’s very little to criticise about the way percy handled himself in the briarwood arc. 
and he keeps doing that, trying to get better. he struggles with it, he struggles a lot, against his anger issues, against all the trauma, against the fact that he really doesn’t want to be here and things would be so much easier if he were dead. but he recognises he holds grudges too easily, so he starts actively trying to forgive those who’ve wronged him (this is something he and vex have in common, and something they were working on together before they were together, which probably helped a lot in getting them to that point as well). he recognises he makes poor decisions when he’s angry, so he starts learning to step back in those moments and leave the decisions to someone else. he has never not owned up to his mistakes, he takes responsibility for everything he’s done, and if he notices a problem he can’t solve himself, he asks for help.
and i find that fun to explore. like, percy’s been likened to hamlet in the actual show, and i was the kid who got super obsessed with hamlet when i was like 15 because i was in that same mental space of suicidal self hatred and existential melancholy but also thinking i was the smartest person in any given room and being too young to have gotten over the arrogance that makes you ignore everyone else’s needs for the sake of indulging your own problems. and then i got older and realised there are smarter ways to go about things, like having empathy and appreciating the light in the world and not being a dickhead to people because it makes you feel better, and maybe hamlet can be justified and in the wrong at the same time. and while there’s some stuff i won’t spoil for you, percy after ripley kills him is definitely starting to learn that, which you rarely see in the hamlet archetype, bc everyone’s like “ah yes so Deep so Important who cares what bad things this person did they had Trauma and are Clever”
well, percy cares about the bad things he did, and cares about not doing those anymore. so like, he’s still a disaster of a person bc he’s like 23 and no one has their life together at 23, especially not someone in percy’s situation, and honestly i find that fun to watch as well bc i like watching characters make stupid mistakes and do stuff i’d never approve of in real life, and as i mentioned at the start, taliesin makes captivating and funny characters. but yeah, that’s generally where percy’s at, most of the time

You’re All That I Need Chapter 10 (Tommy x Nikki)
Tumblr media
Title: You’re All That I Need Chapter 10
Summary: It’s the early 80’s and Nikki Sixx is in need of a band. There’s one condition: no other alphas. That should be fine, since he found three betas to fill up the lineup to become Motley Crue. Or, at least he thinks they’re all betas. A collab between myself and @callme-kaz2y5-baby​​!
Series Warnings: M/M smut (18+ only please), alpha/beta/omega dynamics, mpreg, language, slight drug use, protective Nikki, extremely funky timeline (might add more as we go)
“I’m fine,” Tommy told Mick, Vince, and Nikki months later. “Why are you guys all staring at me like that?!”
“Because you were just puking your guts out a few minutes ago?” Vince said with a shrug. “And you have probably a demon child in you.” Tommy glared at Vince. Mick knew he was two seconds away from strangling the frontman if something wasn’t done and fast.
"Tommy relax, it's our job to be worried about you." Mick placated. 
"I’m fine,” Tommy rubbed his head. “Why is this pregnancy thing such a bitch?” He felt an arm wrap around his waist and he closed his eyes, leaning into Nikki.
"Because your growing a person...and your amazing," Nikki hugged him. “How are you feeling, honestly?”
“I’m tired,” Tommy sighed, not able to lie to his alpha like he did the betas. “And I don’t feel good.”
“But I’m fine,” Vince mocked, making Nikki turned to look at him, eyes turning red as his alpha wanted to protect his omega. "Hey, hey, I didn't mean anything. We're worried too. Mick and I want Tommy to be healthy and the baby too," Vince placated. 
"Gah, I know, I'm almost as moody as Tommy is. Sorry babe." Nikki explained. 
"You're just protective, which is good," Mick told him. Tommy closed his eyes and rested his head on Nikki’s shoulder. He just felt so tired all the time anymore. Nikki sensed a change in Tommy then.
"Tommy, hey, are you sure your ok?” Nikki asked, voice filled with concern. "I don't know how to explain it but we need to get you to the doctor, now." 
Tommy was going to argue but the room started spinning, and he started to fall. Nikki held him up and together, him and Mick helped get Tommy to the car. Vince drove them to the ER, where Tommy was promptly whisked away for tests, leaving an anxious and worried Nikki to pace the waiting room. 
"What if something is wrong? I can't lose him," Nikki said pacing faster. 
"You got him here quick, so he’s going to be fine,” Mick told him. “You need to calm down. You need to be his rock," Mick stood and placed his hands on Nikki’s shoulders, stopping him from pacing. "Get a hold of yourself."
"Right, right," Nikki agreed, sitting next to Vince, who took Nikki's hand to hold immediately. Nikki looked at their hands, a little confused but yet comforted. 
"I....I told you I’m...we’re worried about him too ok, you guys are the best family I've ever had.... I just want everything to be ok," Vince admitted sheepishly. 
Mick sat down and threw his arm around the alpha, "we're your pack dude, you're not doing this alone."
Nikki took strength from the betas to pull himself together, "thank you guys, come whatever we will handle it." 
"Mr. Lee's family?" A nurse called. 
The three men shot up, "that's us" Nikki said. 
"Come this way. We have him in a room right down here." the nurse pointed down the hallway. After showing them to Tommy's room she added, "the doctor will be in momentarily." 
The three nodded and headed in, Tommy was laying on the bed hooked to several monitors. 
"Hey how are you feeling, babe?" Nikki asked reaching out to hold Tommy's hand. 
“Like shit,” He looked up at Nikki and gave him a bit of a smile. “I heard them say something about high blood pressure or something. Guess being hyperactive and pregnant isn’t a good combo.” He held Nikki’s hand, wanting the alpha to make everything better.
Nikki's presence seemed to soothe the omega, which helped when the doctor came in. 
"Mr. Lee, and family, thank you for your patience. It seems like Tommy is suffering from preeclampsia, in other words extremely high blood pressure, if it's not managed it can lead to complications with delivery," the doctor explained. 
"What can we do?" Nikki asked. 
"Well, I'll be prescribing a medication that is safe for him to take, but bed rest would be best for the remainder of the pregnancy," the doctor advised. Tommy was about to argue when Nikki spoke over him.
"You need to listen to the doctor," Nikki told him. Tommy sighed and nodded, taking the instructions the doctor had for him. Tommy pouted as the doctor left. Nikki cupped his face and had him look at him.
“I can’t be on bedrest,” Tommy told him. “We’ve got so much to do…”
"It can wait," Mick said. 
“But I…” He caught Nikki’s eyes and stopped talking. Vince rubbed his shoulder.
“It’s okay man. I could use a vacation. Maybe find me some sweet babes in Tijuana or something,” He winked at Tommy.
“Well, while Vince is catching every STD in Mexico, do I get to walk out of here or do I have to go in a wheelchair?” Tommy asked.
"You'll be wheeled out per protocol," the nurse that came to discharge Tommy, told them. Tommy rolled his eyes. 
She had a wheelchair waiting in the hallway, and brought it in for easy access. Tommy slowly got in it, ready to get home but hating everything that was going with it. Nikki knelt down in front of the chair while Mick and Vince stepped out of the room.
"It's gonna be fine, we could all use a break anyhow and we can keep writing music, just no recording or performing. I love you," Nikki soothed. 
“I know, I know,” He smiled at Nikki. “I love you too.” He relaxed a little, hearing Nikki’s words.
"Are you two love birds coming?" Vince called. 
“You’ll need to see your doctor in about two days,” The nurse told them as they got ready to leave. “Here’s the prescription from the doctor for your vitamins.”
“Thank you,” Tommy took everything he was handed. He knew once he was safe in bed, Nikki would go get the prescription and anything else he needed, instead of letting him do it. Tommy didn’t want to be an invalid, but honestly he didn’t really feel good today. “Do you want me to go with you to the store?” Tommy asked as Nikki wheeled him to the car.
"I was actually going to see if you'd stay in the car and make sure we don't lose Vince to some passing hot chick," Nikki suggested. 
“Hey! I’m not that easily distracted!” Vince called out. “And why do I have to go with you to the stupid store? I’m sure you have a list of things you want to get anyway.” Tommy groaned and rubbed at his head as a headache came on.
Nikki shot Vince a nasty look, "were you going to ride back with Mick?" 
“I just might,” Vince crossed his arms over his chest.
“Can you both just stop!” Tommy called out. “Jesus fucking Christ, you’re making my head hurt!”
“I’m not a doctor, but I think stress like this is bad for the parent to be and child.” Mick pointed out. Nikki’s attention immediately turned to Tommy, and Vince instantly stopped talking. 
"Thanks Mick, the fighting isn't good for any of us least of all Tommy. I'm taking Tommy home, once you and Vince figure out what your doing will one of you come sit with Tommy and the other can come to the store with me?" Nikki asked, looking exhausted. 
“I don’t need a babysitter,” Tommy told him. Nikki opened the door to let him into the car before heading around to the other side. “I’m sorry Nikki…”
"I'm not saying you do, but I want you to be safe, I would feel better if you weren't alone, and why are you sorry none of this is your fault?" Nikki checked in. 
“Because I’m a bad mate…” Tommy looked down at his hands. “You deserve a better one than me.”
"You are not, you are an amazing mate, I don't deserve you, with all the awful things I've done.... you're the one who deserves a better alpha..." Nikki trailed off, thinking maybe Motley Crue needed to be dissolved, that Tommy would be safer if he didn't have the band stress. 
“I’m just ready for this little one to be born already,” Tommy smiled. “They’re going to have so much fun riding my drum kit with me. I’ll get a little baby harness made and it’ll be awesome.” He looked over at Nikki. “I can go to the store with you. I don’t mind.”
"I know you don't mind but the doctor said bed rest babe and that's not bed rest. And we will talk about the baby in the drum kit...." Nikki answered, reaching out to hold Tommy's hand. 
Tommy held Nikki’s hand and felt his eyes get heavy. He wanted to cuddle into Nikki’s side, but the console in the car stopped him. Instead, he fell asleep with his head resting against the window, which was really fun when Nikki hit an unavoidable pothole.
“Fuck!” Tommy called out.
"Sorry, oh god sorry, are you ok?" Nikki apologized, looking at Tommy rubbing his head. 
“Yeah, yeah. Windows just are not comfy. Fucking potholes,” Tommy was grumpy. He always was when he was woken up from a nap and didn’t wake himself up. “Are we almost home?”
"Yup, 5 more minutes and we will be there, and you can nap in bed," Nikki supplied, "Do you have any requests from the store?" 
“Chocolate,” Tommy smiled. “And since I can’t have coffee, can I have hot chocolate packets?”
"Of course." Nikki answered. "Here we are and it looks like Mick and Vince are right behind us."
