Warning: Fluff, flirting
My apologies for the mistake. Let me correct that for you:
As Y/n stood in the kitchen, trying to prepare breakfast for herself and Michelle, she felt a sudden tickle in her nose. Before she could react, a series of sneezes erupted, catching her off guard.
"Ah-choo! Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" she sneezed, her nose tingling with discomfort.
Michelle looked up from her toys, a concerned expression on her face. "Bless you, Aunt Y/n!" she said sweetly, reaching out to pat Y/n's arm.
Y/n smiled weakly, feeling a wave of fatigue wash over her. She knew that sneezing fit all too well—it was the telltale sign that she was coming down with a cold. With her wedding just three days away, the timing couldn't have been worse.
Taking a deep breath, Y/n tried to push aside her mounting worries. She couldn't afford to get sick now, not with so much left to do before the big day. But as another sneeze threatened to escape, she couldn't ignore the nagging feeling that she was in for a rough few days.
Despite her best efforts to ignore her symptoms, Y/n couldn't shake the feeling of impending sickness. As she continued to sneeze intermittently, she couldn't help but worry about how it would affect her ability to prepare for the wedding.
With a sigh, Y/n decided to prioritize her health and take proactive measures to combat the cold before it worsened. She made herself a warm cup of tea with honey and lemon, hoping it would soothe her throat and ease her congestion.
As she sipped the comforting brew, Y/n made a mental note to rest as much as possible in the coming days, knowing that her body needed time to recover before the wedding. Despite her concerns, she remained determined to push through and ensure that nothing would dampen the joyous occasion she had been eagerly anticipating for months.
Bradley's footsteps echoed down the staircase as he entered the kitchen, a look of surprise crossing his face as he saw Y/n's state.
"Y/n, are you okay?" he asked, concern evident in his voice as he approached her.
Y/n sniffled and rubbed her nose with a tissue, offering Bradley a weak smile. "I think I'm coming down with a cold," she admitted, her voice sounding hoarse. "But don't worry, I'll be fine."
Bradley frowned, placing a hand on Y/n's forehead to check for signs of fever. "You're burning up," he observed, his worry deepening. "You need to rest and take care of yourself, especially with the wedding so close."
Y/n nodded, feeling a pang of guilt for allowing herself to get sick at such a crucial time. "I know, but there's still so much to do," she replied, her voice tinged with frustration.
Bradley shook his head, his expression firm. "Your health comes first," he insisted. "I'll take care of things here. You go lie down and rest. We can't have you walking down the aisle with a red nose and watery eyes."
Y/n couldn't help but smile at Bradley's concern, grateful for his support. With a nod of agreement, she headed upstairs to her room, determined to heed his advice and prioritize her well-being in the days leading up to the wedding.
As Y/n attempted to protest Bradley's recommendations, a wave of dizziness washed over her, causing her to sway unsteadily on her feet.
"Bradley, I'm fine, really," she insisted, her voice wavering as she clutched onto the countertop for support.
But before she could finish her sentence, another dizzy spell hit her, leaving her feeling disoriented and weak. She closed her eyes tightly, willing the room to stop spinning.
Bradley rushed to her side, his hands steadying her as he guided her to sit down at the kitchen table. "Y/n, you need to listen to your body," he said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument. "You're in no condition to be running around trying to prepare for the wedding."
Y/n reluctantly nodded, realizing that Bradley was right. She had been pushing herself too hard, ignoring the signs of illness until it was almost too late. With a sigh of resignation, she allowed Bradley to take charge, knowing that she needed to prioritize her health if she wanted to be well enough to enjoy her special day.
As she sat at the table, feeling drained and defeated, Y/n couldn't help but feel grateful for Bradley's unwavering support and guidance. In that moment, she knew that she was in good hands, and that with his help, she would be able to overcome this setback and emerge stronger than ever for her wedding day.
Stephanie's sudden entrance startled Y/n, her heart racing with alarm as she watched her niece's panicked expression.
"Uncle Jake!" Stephanie called out urgently, her voice tinged with fear.
Y/n exchanged a worried glance with Bradley, her concern mounting at Stephanie's distress. Before she could ask what was wrong, Jake appeared in the doorway, his eyes widening in alarm as he took in the scene.
"What's going on?" he asked, his voice laced with concern as he rushed to Stephanie's side.
Stephanie pointed to Y/n, her eyes wide with alarm. "Aunt Y/n is sick!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with worry.
Jake's heart sank at the sight of Y/n looking pale and unwell. Without hesitation, he crossed the room to kneel beside her, his hands reaching out to gently grasp hers.
"Y/n, are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with concern as he studied her face for any signs of distress.
Y/n managed a weak smile, grateful for Jake's comforting presence. "I'm just feeling a bit under the weather," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
Jake's expression softened with concern as he placed a hand on Y/n's forehead, checking for signs of fever. "You need to rest," he insisted, his tone gentle yet firm. "We'll take care of everything."
Y/n nodded weakly, feeling a sense of relief wash over her at Jake's reassurance. With Jake and Stephanie by her side, she knew that she would be okay, no matter what challenges lay ahead.
Stephanie's sudden entrance startled Y/n, her heart racing with alarm as she watched her niece's panicked expression.
"Aunt Y/n! Uncle Jake!" Stephanie called out urgently, her voice tinged with fear.

for Jake's comforting presence. "I'm just feeling a bit under the weather," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
Jake's expression softened with concern as he placed a hand on Y/n's forehead, checking for signs of fever. "You need to rest," he insisted, his tone gentle yet firm. "We'll take care of everything."
Y/n nodded weakly, feeling a sense of relief wash over her at Jake's reassurance. With Jake and Stephanie by her side, she knew that she would be okay, no matter what challenges lay ahead.
As Y/n rested against Jake's comforting presence, she couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for his unwavering support. Despite her initial reluctance to admit her vulnerability, she knew deep down that Jake was right—her health had to come first.
With a deep breath, Y/n allowed herself to let go of the worries and stresses that had been weighing her down. In Jake's arms, she found solace and reassurance, knowing that she didn't have to face this challenge alone.
As the minutes passed, Y/n felt herself drifting off to sleep, the sound of Jake's steady heartbeat lulling her into a peaceful slumber. In that moment, surrounded by love and warmth, she knew that everything would be okay.
With Jake by her side, Y/n felt ready to face whatever the future held, knowing that together, they could overcome any obstacle that came their way. And as she drifted off into sleep, she couldn't help but feel grateful for the unwavering love and support of her fiancé, who had stood by her through thick and thin, always ready to lend a comforting hand and a reassuring smile.
As Y/n slept peacefully in Jake's arms, she felt a sense of calm wash over her, the worries and stresses of the past few days melting away. She dreamed of their upcoming wedding day, imagining herself walking down the aisle towards Jake, surrounded by their loved ones and bathed in the warm glow of happiness and love.
In her dream, Y/n saw herself exchanging vows with Jake, promising to love and cherish him for all eternity. She felt a surge of emotion as they sealed their commitment with a tender kiss, their hearts overflowing with joy and gratitude.
As the dream continued, Y/n envisioned their future together—filled with laughter, love, and countless happy memories. She saw herself and Jake growing old together, hand in hand, facing life's challenges with courage and resilience, and celebrating life's joys with boundless enthusiasm and love.
When Y/n finally woke up from her dream, she found herself still wrapped in Jake's comforting embrace, the morning light streaming through the window. She smiled up at him, feeling a sense of peace and contentment wash over her.
With Jake by her side, Y/n knew that their love was strong enough to weather any storm, and that together, they could conquer anything life threw their way. And as they prepared to embark on the next chapter of their journey together, she couldn't help but feel excited for all the adventures that lay ahead.
As Y/n and Jake shared a tender moment together, they were interrupted by a soft knock on the door. Bradley poked his head into the room, a concerned expression on his face.
"Hey, guys," he said gently. "How's everything going?"
Y/n and Jake exchanged a glance, a silent understanding passing between them. Despite their initial worries, they both knew that they were in good hands with Bradley by their side.
"We're doing okay," Jake replied, his voice filled with gratitude. "Y/n's resting now, and I'm keeping an eye on her."
Bradley nodded, a reassuring smile on his face. "That's good to hear," he said. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask."
With a grateful nod, Y/n and Jake watched as Bradley quietly left the room, leaving them alone once again. As they settled back into their comfortable embrace, Y/n couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude for the love and support of her family.
With Jake by her side and her loved ones rallying around her, Y/n knew that she could overcome any obstacle that came her way. And as they prepared to face the challenges of the days ahead, she felt a renewed sense of hope and determination wash over her, knowing that together, they could conquer anything.
In the following days, Y/n took the time to prioritize her health and well-being. Jake, Bradley, and the rest of the family rallied around her, ensuring she had everything she needed to recover. Despite the initial setback, Y/n began to regain her strength and energy, thanks to the care and support of her loved ones.
As the wedding day approached, Y/n couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and gratitude. She marveled at how the people she loved had come together to support her during a challenging time. The wedding preparations continued, albeit with a more relaxed pace, and Y/n found herself appreciating the simple moments of joy and connection with her family.

Warning: Fluff, flirting
Jake and Y/n sat together in the bathroom, the silence of the empty house enveloping them. Y/n held the pregnancy test in her hand, her heart heavy with anticipation and fear. With a deep breath, she glanced at the result, and disappointment washed over her as she saw the negative sign once again.
Jake placed a comforting hand on Y/n's shoulder, his own disappointment mirroring hers. "I'm sorry, babe," he murmured softly, his voice filled with empathy.
Y/n sighed, her shoulders slumping with the weight of their shared disappointment. "I was really hoping this time would be different," she admitted, her voice tinged with sadness.
Jake pulled her into a gentle embrace, holding her close as they processed their emotions together. "I know, sweetheart," he whispered, his heart aching for her. "But we'll keep trying. We'll get through this together."
With a heavy heart and a renewed determination, Y/n leaned into Jake's embrace, finding solace in his comforting presence. And as they faced this latest setback together, they knew that their love and resilience would carry them through whatever challenges lay ahead.
Jake leaned down, his voice gentle and reassuring as he spoke to Y/n, his heart breaking at her distress. "Hey, it's okay," he whispered, his words a soothing balm to her wounded spirit. "You haven't let me down, not for a second."
He lifted her chin gently, meeting her eyes with a tender gaze filled with love and understanding. "We're in this together, remember? Whatever happens, we'll face it as a team. And no matter what, I'll always be here for you."
Y/n's eyes welled up with tears, overwhelmed by Jake's unwavering support and love. She wrapped her arms around him tightly, finding comfort in his embrace. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.
Jake held her close, his heart swelling with love for this remarkable woman beside him. As they clung to each other in the quiet of the bathroom, they knew that together, they could weather any storm. And with Jake by her side, Y/n found strength in the midst of her disappointment, knowing that they would face whatever the future held together, hand in hand.
Jake gently scooped up his fiancée, cradling her in his arms as he carried her out of the bathroom. He laid her down on the bed, his touch tender and comforting as he rubbed her back soothingly.
"It's going to be okay, sweetheart," he murmured softly, his voice filled with reassurance. "We're in this together, remember? We'll figure it out, no matter what."
Y/n nestled into Jake's comforting embrace, finding solace in the warmth of his presence. She closed her eyes, letting his reassuring words wash over her like a healing balm.

Jake continued to rub Y/n's back in gentle circles, his touch a steady source of comfort as they lay together on the bed. He leaned down to press a soft kiss to her forehead, his lips lingering there for a moment before he whispered, "I love you, Y/n. And I'm here for you, no matter what."
Y/n's heart swelled with love at Jake's words, feeling the warmth of his affection enveloping her like a protective shield. She reached up to cup his cheek, gazing into his eyes with gratitude and love. "I love you too, Jake," she replied, her voice filled with emotion.
In that tender moment, surrounded by their love for each other, Y/n felt a sense of peace wash over her. She knew that with Jake by her side, they could face any challenge that came their way. And as they lay together, wrapped in each other's arms, they found solace in the simple yet profound bond they shared.
As they lay there together, Jake softly hummed a soothing melody, his voice a gentle lullaby that seemed to ease the tension from Y/n's body. She closed her eyes, letting herself be enveloped by the comforting sound, feeling the stress and disappointment of the day slowly melt away.
With each tender touch and whispered assurance, Y/n felt her spirits lifting. Jake's unwavering support and love were like a beacon of light in the darkness, guiding her through the stormy seas of uncertainty.

Wrapped in Jake's embrace, surrounded by his love, Y/n felt a sense of peace settle over her. And as they lay there together, she knew that no matter what the future held, they would always find strength in each other's arms.
As the minutes passed in their intimate cocoon, Jake's soothing presence and gentle caresses began to work their magic on Y/n's frazzled nerves. She felt herself gradually letting go of the tension that had gripped her, surrendering to the warmth and comfort of Jake's embrace.
In the soft glow of the bedroom, their breathing synchronized in a rhythm of shared tranquility. Y/n's mind drifted away from worries and disappointment, focusing instead on the love and connection she shared with Jake.
With each passing moment, she felt a renewed sense of gratitude for the man beside her, for his unwavering support and boundless love. In his arms, she found sanctuary from the storms of life, a safe haven where she could be vulnerable and true to herself.
As they lay there together, Y/n realized that it wasn't just about the outcome of a pregnancy test or the uncertainties of the future. It was about the profound bond they shared, the strength of their love, and the resilience of their spirits.
With a contented sigh, Y/n nestled closer to Jake, feeling his heartbeat steady and reassuring beneath her cheek. In this moment of quiet intimacy, she knew that no matter what challenges they faced, they would always find solace and strength in each other's arms.
As the evening stretched on, Jake and Y/n remained cocooned in their own little world of comfort and love. They shared stories, whispered secrets, and laughed softly together, the weight of disappointment slowly lifting from Y/n's shoulders with each passing moment.
Jake's gentle touch and soothing words worked wonders, helping Y/n find peace amidst the turmoil of her emotions. He listened attentively to her fears and worries, offering reassurance and encouragement with every word he spoke.
With each tender gesture, Y/n felt her heart swell with gratitude for the man who stood by her side, unwavering in his support and devotion. She knew that no matter what challenges they faced, as long as they faced them together, they could overcome anything.
In the warmth of Jake's embrace, Y/n found solace and strength, a beacon of light in the darkness of uncertainty. And as they lay there together, wrapped in each other's arms, she felt a deep sense of peace settle over her soul.
In that moment, surrounded by love and warmth, Y/n knew that she was exactly where she was meant to be. And with Jake by her side, she felt ready to face whatever the future held, knowing that their love would always guide them through.

Pairing: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Reader
Warning: Fluff, flirting
Jake and Y/n sat together in the bathroom, the silence of the empty house enveloping them. Y/n held the pregnancy test in her hand, her heart heavy with anticipation and fear. With a deep breath, she glanced at the result, and disappointment washed over her as she saw the negative sign once again.
Jake placed a comforting hand on Y/n's shoulder, his own disappointment mirroring hers. "I'm sorry, babe," he murmured softly, his voice filled with empathy.
Y/n sighed, her shoulders slumping with the weight of their shared disappointment. "I was really hoping this time would be different," she admitted, her voice tinged with sadness.
Jake pulled her into a gentle embrace, holding her close as they processed their emotions together. "I know, sweetheart," he whispered, his heart aching for her. "But we'll keep trying. We'll get through this together."
With a heavy heart and a renewed determination, Y/n leaned into Jake's embrace, finding solace in his comforting presence. And as they faced this latest setback together, they knew that their love and resilience would carry them through whatever challenges lay ahead.
Jake leaned down, his voice gentle and reassuring as he spoke to Y/n, his heart breaking at her distress. "Hey, it's okay," he whispered, his words a soothing balm to her wounded spirit. "You haven't let me down, not for a second."
He lifted her chin gently, meeting her eyes with a tender gaze filled with love and understanding. "We're in this together, remember? Whatever happens, we'll face it as a team. And no matter what, I'll always be here for you."
Y/n's eyes welled up with tears, overwhelmed by Jake's unwavering support and love. She wrapped her arms around him tightly, finding comfort in his embrace. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.
Jake held her close, his heart swelling with love for this remarkable woman beside him. As they clung to each other in the quiet of the bathroom, they knew that together, they could weather any storm. And with Jake by her side, Y/n found strength in the midst of her disappointment, knowing that they would face whatever the future held together, hand in hand.
Jake gently scooped up his fiancée, cradling her in his arms as he carried her out of the bathroom. He laid her down on the bed, his touch tender and comforting as he rubbed her back soothingly.
"It's going to be okay, sweetheart," he murmured softly, his voice filled with reassurance. "We're in this together, remember? We'll figure it out, no matter what."
Y/n nestled into Jake's comforting embrace, finding solace in the warmth of his presence. She closed her eyes, letting his reassuring words wash over her like a healing balm.

Egg-spectations
Tumblr media
Summary: As Hangman and Haze spend easter as a family, their egg-spectations grow closer..
Pairing; Hangman and Haze
As Y/N woke up to the warmth of the Saturday morning sun filtering through the curtains, she found herself nestled against Jake's chest, his steady heartbeat a comforting rhythm beneath her cheek. With a contented sigh, she stirred from her slumber, feeling the gentle rise and fall of his chest beneath her head.
Turning to face him, Y/N smiled softly as she watched Jake sleep, his features softened in the morning light. With a playful glint in her eye, she leaned in closer, placing a gentle kiss on his cheek.
"Good morning, sleepyhead," she whispered, her voice filled with affection.
Jake stirred at her touch, a lazy smile spreading across his face as he slowly blinked awake. "Morning, beautiful," he murmured, his arms wrapping around her in a warm embrace.
Y/N chuckled softly, running a hand through his hair as she teased, "Time to get up, love. We have a busy day ahead."
But Jake, ever the charmer, grinned cheekily as he pulled her closer. "Can't we just stay here a little longer?" he pleaded, his voice laced with playful reluctance. "You and me, and our little one on the way."
Y/N couldn't help but laugh at his antics, feeling a surge of love swell within her. "As tempting as that sounds," she replied, gently pushing against his chest, "we have things to do, remember?"
With a theatrical sigh, Jake relented, but not before pressing a tender kiss to Y/N's forehead. "Alright, alright," he conceded with a grin. "But only because it's you asking."
As Y/N attempted to rise from the bed, mindful of her growing belly, Jake playfully tugged her back down by the waist, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
"Where do you think you're going, Mrs. Seresin?" he teased, his arms wrapped snugly around her.
Y/N laughed, feeling the warmth of his embrace enveloping her. "I thought we had things to do today," she reminded him, her voice tinged with amusement.
Jake pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, his lips lingering against her skin. "We do," he agreed, his voice low and husky. "But first, let's just enjoy this moment together."
With a contented sigh, Y/N settled back against him, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against her back. In that moment, surrounded by the comfort of their shared love, she knew that there was nowhere else she'd rather be.
And as they lay entwined in each other's arms, basking in the warmth of their connection, Y/N couldn't help but feel grateful for the simple pleasures of love, laughter, and lazy Saturday mornings spent in each other's embrace.
As Jake playfully kissed his wife, Y/N, little Jack burst into the room with boundless energy, his face alive with excitement. "Mommy, Daddy, it's Easter!" he exclaimed, his voice ringing with joy.
Y/N and Jake exchanged a fond smile before turning their attention to their eager son. "Happy Easter, buddy!" Jake exclaimed, scooping Jack up into his arms with a playful twirl.
"Happy Easter, sweetheart," Y/N echoed, pressing a gentle kiss to Jack's cheek.
With a gleeful squeal, Jack squirmed in Jake's arms, eager to start the day's festivities. "Can we find Easter eggs, Daddy? Please?" he pleaded, his eyes wide with anticipation.
Jake grinned at his son's enthusiasm, ruffling his hair affectionately. "Of course, champ!" he replied, his voice filled with excitement. "But first, let's get Mommy and the baby ready to join in the fun."
As they made their way downstairs to kick off their Easter celebrations, Y/N couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude for the family they had built together. And as they embarked on their Easter egg hunt, laughter echoing through the halls of their home, she knew that these precious moments of love and togetherness were what truly made life worth living.
----
As Y/N watched from the doorway, a tender smile graced her lips as she observed Jake and Jack running around outside, their laughter filling the air with infectious joy. The sight of her husband and son bonding filled her heart with warmth, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation for the arrival of their second son.
With a gentle hand resting on her swollen belly, Y/N felt the baby kick in response to the excitement swirling around them. A sense of wonder washed over her as she imagined the new addition to their family, eagerly awaiting the moment when they would join in the laughter and play alongside Jake and Jack.
As she stood there, basking in the glow of the afternoon sun, Y/N couldn't wait to welcome their second son into the world. With each passing day, the anticipation grew stronger, filling her with a sense of joy and gratitude for the beautiful family they had created together.
And as she watched Jake and Jack continue their playful antics, she knew that their home would soon be filled with even more love, laughter, and cherished moments shared as a family of four. With her heart overflowing with anticipation, Y/N looked forward to the day when their second son would finally arrive, completing their little slice of happiness.

Pairing: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Reader
Warning: Fluff, flirting
With nimble steps that barely made a sound, three-year-old Michelle managed to slip away from the bustling breakfast scene in the kitchen. With determination in her little heart, she made her way up the big wooden stairs, her tiny hand grasping the railing for support as she ascended.
As she reached the top of the stairs, a mischievous twinkle danced in her eyes as she approached Jake and Y/n's bedroom. With a sense of adventure driving her forward, she pushed open the door, the hinges creaking softly in protest.
Inside the room, Y/n lay peacefully asleep, her chest rising and falling in the rhythm of slumber. Michelle's heart swelled with excitement as she tiptoed closer to the bed, her small frame barely making a sound on the wooden floorboards.
Leaning in close, she gently shook Y/n's shoulder, her voice a hushed whisper. "Aunt Y/n, wake up!" she called softly, her eyes wide with anticipation.
Y/n stirred from her sleep, her eyes fluttering open to find her niece standing beside her bed, a grin stretching across her tiny face. "Michelle, what are you doing here?" Y/n asked, her voice filled with sleepy curiosity.
With a giggle, Michelle shrugged innocently, her eyes shining with mischief. "I wanted to wake you up, Aunt Y/n!" she exclaimed, her excitement bubbling over.
Y/n couldn't help but smile at her niece's antics, her heart melting at the sight of the little girl standing before her. With a gentle laugh, she reached out to pull Michelle into a warm hug, her arms enveloping her in a cocoon of love and affection.
Together, they shared a sweet moment of connection, the bond between aunt and niece growing stronger with each passing day. And as they cuddled together in the early morning light, Y/n knew that these precious moments were what made life truly beautiful.
---
As the conversation in the kitchen concluded and DJ and Stephanie bid their farewells before leaving, a few minutes passed before Bradley, Bob, and Jake noticed that Michelle was nowhere to be seen.
Panic surged within them as they scanned the kitchen, their hearts racing when they realized the door was left ajar. "Michelle!" Bradley's voice echoed through the house, tinged with worry.
Jake quickly joined Bradley and Bob at the door, his eyes searching the surroundings in hopes of spotting the little girl. "She might have slipped out when DJ and Stephanie left," he suggested, his tone urgent.
With determination, the three of them rushed outside, their gazes darting around frantically, calling out for Michelle in hopes of her response.
But just as their concern peaked, a familiar giggle reached their ears from upstairs. "She's with Y/n," Jake realized, relief washing over him as they hurried back into the house.
Upstairs, Y/n smiled as Michelle played beside her on the bed, unaware of the chaos she had caused. "You gave us quite a scare, little one," Y/n chuckled, pulling Michelle into a tight embrace.
With Michelle safe and sound, Bradley, Bob, and Jake breathed a collective sigh of relief, grateful for the happy ending to their moment of panic. And as they settled back into the kitchen, they couldn't help but cherish the precious moments they shared as a family, thankful for the love and bond that held them together.
---
With a gentle smile, Y/n lifted Michelle up into her arms, cradling her close as they began their descent downstairs. As they descended, Y/n leaned in close to Michelle, her voice soft and gentle.
"Did the boys know you were upstairs with me?" she asked, her tone laced with curiosity.
Michelle shook her head, her expression innocent and wide-eyed. "Nope, it was a secret!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement.
Y/n chuckled softly at Michelle's response, her heart swelling with love for the little girl in her arms. "Well, we should let them know next time, okay?" she said, her voice warm and reassuring.
Michelle nodded eagerly, her eyes shining with anticipation. "Okay, Aunt Y/n!" she replied, her small hand reaching out to squeeze Y/n's fingers.
With a smile, Y/n continued down the stairs, feeling grateful for the precious moments she shared with her niece. And as they rejoined the rest of the family in the kitchen, she couldn't help but cherish the bond they shared, thankful for the love and joy Michelle brought into her life.
When Y/n made it down the stairs with Michelle in her arms, Bradley, Bob, and Jake let out a collective sigh of relief. They exchanged glances, their expressions softened with reassurance now that Michelle was safe and sound.
"Thank goodness you're alright, kiddo," Bradley said, his voice filled with relief as he reached out to ruffle Michelle's hair.
Bob nodded in agreement, a warm smile spreading across his face. "We were worried about you, munchkin," he added, his tone gentle and reassuring.
Jake stepped forward, his eyes filled with concern as he reached out to gently squeeze Y/n's shoulder. "Thanks for looking after her, Y/n," he said, his voice sincere with gratitude.
Y/n returned Jake's smile, feeling grateful for the support of her family. "Of course, she's my little sidekick," she replied, her voice filled with affection as she hugged Michelle close.
With Michelle safe and sound, the tension that had filled the room dissipated, replaced by a sense of warmth and love. And as they settled back into the kitchen, surrounded by the comforting presence of family, they couldn't help but cherish the bond that held them together, thankful for the moments of joy and reassurance that filled their lives.
Y/n gently placed Michelle down, watching with a smile as the little girl ran into Bob's arms, her laughter filling the room. With Michelle happily settled, Y/n turned to Jake, feeling the warmth of his arms as he wrapped them around her.
"Hey, Bradley," she said, turning to her friend, "do you mind dropping me off at the station? We work in the same building today."
Bradley nodded, a grin spreading across his face. "Sure thing, Y/n. I'll swing by in a bit."
Grateful for Bradley's offer, Y/n leaned into Jake's embrace, feeling a sense of comfort and support wash over her. With her family by her side, she knew she could face whatever the day had in store. And as they prepared to head out, she couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the love and connection they shared.
----
D.J. and Stephanie arrived home to find Bob waiting on the couch with Michelle. He sat there, patiently, with a smile on his face, ready to hand over the responsibility of looking after Michelle and Stephanie to D.J., who was the eldest and therefore deemed the most responsible, as she had to run to a comedy gig.
"Hey, Bob," D.J. greeted as she walked in, her voice filled with warmth.
"Hey, guys," Bob replied, a playful grin crossing his face. "I've got to dash off to a comedy gig, but Michelle and Stephanie are in good hands with you, D.J."
D.J. nodded, a sense of pride filling her as she took on the role of caregiver for her younger sisters. "No problem, Bob. We've got it covered."
Stephanie beamed, excited at the prospect of spending time with her big sister. "Thanks, Uncle Bob!" she exclaimed, giving him a quick hug before turning her attention to D.J.
With a wave goodbye, Bob headed out the door, leaving D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle to enjoy their time together as a family.
D.J. invited her best friend Kimmy over, and they headed to D.J. and Stephanie's shared room to do homework. As they settled in, Michelle wandered in, unnoticed by Stephanie, who was stressed in the corner.
"There's a car in the kitchen," Michelle announced, her eyes wide with excitement.
Kimmy and D.J. burst into laughter, thinking it was one of Michelle's playful jokes. "Yeah, and there's a bus in the bathroom," D.J. replied, joining in on the fun.
Stephanie looked up, finally noticing Michelle's presence. "Wait, what?" she asked, confusion evident on her face as she tried to catch up with the conversation, even though she's the reason behind this incident.
But D.J. and Kimmy continued to laugh, their homework momentarily forgotten as they enjoyed the playful banter with Michelle. And as they continued their evening together, Stephanie couldn't help but smile at the joy and laughter filling the room.
A little while later, D.J. and Kimmy, feeling thirsty, decided to head down to the kitchen. As they descended the stairs, chatting and giggling, they couldn't have anticipated what they were about to witness.
Their laughter turned to shock as they reached the kitchen and found a car sitting right there, seemingly having crashed through the wall. Their jaws dropped in disbelief, and they exchanged bewildered glances.
"D.J., is that... is that a car in the kitchen?" Kimmy stammered, her eyes wide with astonishment.
D.J. blinked, trying to process the surreal scene before her. "I... I think it is," she replied, her voice filled with incredulity.
As they approached the car cautiously, they realized that Michelle's earlier announcement wasn't a joke after all. The car was very much there, its presence a bizarre and unexpected sight in their familiar kitchen.
With hearts racing and minds reeling, D.J. and Kimmy could only stand there, trying to make sense of the inexplicable situation unfolding before them. And as they contemplated what to do next, they couldn't shake the feeling that their evening had taken an unexpected turn into the realm of the extraordinary.
As D.J. and Kimmy stood there, dumbfounded by the sight of the car in the kitchen, they heard the sound of little footsteps approaching from behind. Turning around, they saw Michelle toddling down the stairs with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"I told you so," Michelle chimed in her three-year-old innocence, a triumphant smile spreading across her face.
D.J. knelt down to Michelle's level, her brow furrowed with confusion. "Michelle, did you see how the car got here?" she asked, her voice gentle but curious.
Michelle nodded eagerly, her expression innocent and unassuming. "Yep, it came in through the window," she replied matter-of-factly, her eyes sparkling with innocence.
D.J. and Kimmy exchanged incredulous looks, trying to process Michelle's explanation. The idea of a car crashing through a window seemed almost too absurd to believe, but with Michelle's unwavering conviction, they couldn't help but wonder if there was some truth to her words.
With more questions than answers, D.J. and Kimmy turned their attention back to the car, still sitting incongruously in the middle of the kitchen. And as they tried to unravel the mystery of its unexpected arrival, they couldn't shake the feeling that they were in for quite an adventure.
As Jake entered the kitchen, his voice echoed through the room. "Girls, I'm home!" he announced cheerfully, his face obscured by three paper shopping bags as he reached out to find his way around. But instead of feeling the familiar surface of the kitchen table, his hand brushed against something unexpected. With a confused grunt, he dropped the bags onto the object with a muttered, "Lord have mercy."
Before he could finish his sentence, Michelle piped up, her innocent voice cutting through the confusion. "There's a car in the kitchen," she declared matter-of-factly, completing Jake's sentence for him.
Jake blinked in surprise, his sarcasm momentarily overshadowed by the absurdity of the situation. "Thank you, Michelle," he replied dryly, his tone laced with amusement as he tried to make sense of the unexpected discovery.
With a shake of his head, Jake moved closer to the car, his mind racing with questions and disbelief. And as he joined D.J. and Kimmy in their efforts to unravel the mystery, he couldn't help but marvel at the unpredictable twists and turns of family life.
Jake's gaze turned to D.J., who was supposed to be in charge, his expression a mix of confusion and disbelief. "D.J., how on earth did a car get in our kitchen?" he asked incredulously, his voice tinged with disbelief.
D.J. exchanged a bewildered glance with Kimmy before they both turned to Michelle, who was standing nearby, her innocent expression unchanged. Taking a cue from Michelle's earlier explanation, D.J. repeated, "Through the window."
Kimmy nodded eagerly, adding her agreement. "Yeah, through the window," she chimed in, her voice echoing D.J.'s sentiment.
Jake blinked, trying to process the surreal explanation. A car crashing through the window seemed like something out of a movie, not something that could actually happen in their own home. But as he looked around at the bewildered faces of his family, he couldn't deny that something extraordinary had indeed occurred.
With a shake of his head and a bemused chuckle, Jake joined the others in their efforts to make sense of the situation. And as they exchanged theories and ideas, he couldn't help but marvel at the unpredictable adventures that seemed to follow them wherever they went.
Jake shook his head in disbelief as he scooped up Michelle into his arms, a wry smile tugging at his lips. "Y/n is going to kill me," he murmured to himself, a sense of impending doom settling over him.
To his surprise, Michelle, with all the sass of a three-year-old, cut in with a cheeky remark. "Oh yes she will," she chimed in, her tone playful and mischievous.
Jake chuckled, unable to resist the infectious energy of his niece. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, Michelle," he replied, his voice laced with amusement.
With Michelle in his arms and the weight of Y/n's inevitable wrath on his mind, Jake headed out of the kitchen, ready to face whatever consequences awaited him. And as he navigated the twists and turns of family life, he couldn't help but marvel at the unpredictability and joy that came with it.

Short love: Chp 10
Tumblr media
Summary: The is about widowed father Bradley Bradshaw who enlists his brother-in-law Jake Seresin and childhood best friend Robert Floyd to help raise his three daughters, eldest Donna Jo Margaret (D.J for short), middle child Stephanie and youngest Michelle in his San Diego home. 
Pairing: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Reader
Warning: Fluff, flirting
As the soft glow of the moonlight filtered through the window, Jake held Y/n close, her tears dampening the fabric of his shirt as she cried softly in his arms. He whispered words of comfort, his voice gentle and reassuring as he tried to soothe her troubled heart.
Y/n's sobs echoed in the quiet of the room, her frustration and despair palpable. "I just don't understand why it's not happening," she choked out between sobs, her voice thick with emotion. "I feel like I'm letting you down, Jake."
Jake's heart ached at the sound of her pain, his arms tightening around her as he held her close. "You could never let me down, Y/n," he murmured, his voice filled with love and understanding. "This journey, it's ours to take together, no matter what happens."
Y/n buried her face in Jake's chest, seeking solace in his comforting embrace. "But what if I can't give you what you want?" she whispered, her voice trembling with fear.
Jake lifted her chin gently, his eyes meeting hers with unwavering love. "Y/n, you are everything I want and more," he said, his voice steady and sincere. "Our love is stronger than anything life may throw our way, and together, we can overcome any obstacle."
In that moment, surrounded by the warmth of their love and the promise of tomorrow, Y/n felt a glimmer of hope ignite within her. With Jake by her side, she knew that they could face whatever challenges lay ahead, together. And as they held each other close, their hearts beating as one, they found solace in the knowledge that their love would always light the way.
As Y/n continued to sniffle against his chest, Jake gently brushed a stray tear from her cheek, his heart aching to see her in pain. With a tender smile, he began to softly sing, his voice a soothing melody that filled the room with warmth and comfort.
"Love me tender, love me sweet," he sang, his voice a gentle caress against her ear. "Never let me go. You have made my life complete, and I love you so."
Y/n's breath hitched at the sound of his voice, the familiar lyrics washing over her like a balm for her wounded soul. She closed her eyes, letting the melody wrap around her like a warm embrace, filling her with a sense of peace and serenity.
As Jake continued to sing, his voice filled with love and devotion, Y/n felt the weight of her fears begin to lift. In his arms, she found solace and strength, reassured by the unwavering love that flowed between them.
Together, they lay in the quiet of the night, their hearts beating as one, finding comfort in the simple act of being together. And as the last notes of the song faded into the stillness, Y/n felt a sense of peace settle over her, knowing that no matter what the future held, they would face it together, hand in hand, their love guiding them through every storm.
With a soft smile, Jake gently untangled himself from Y/n's embrace, careful not to disturb her peaceful slumber. As he slipped out of bed and made his way downstairs, the warmth of her presence lingered in his heart, filling him with a sense of contentment.
Descending the stairs, Jake was greeted by the sight of his three nieces seated at the counter, their chatter filling the air as they enjoyed breakfast with Bob and Bradley. Their laughter echoed through the room, a joyful melody that brought a smile to Jake's lips.
"Good morning, girls," Jake greeted them, his voice warm and affectionate as he joined them at the counter.
"Morning, Uncle Jake!" Stephanie exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with excitement at the sight of him.
DJ and Michelle echoed her greeting, their smiles bright and infectious as they welcomed him to the table.
As they sat together, sharing breakfast and laughter, Jake couldn't help but feel grateful for the love and warmth of his family. And as he watched his nieces interact with Bob and Bradley, he knew that no matter what the day held in store, they would face it together, their bond unbreakable and their hearts forever intertwined.
Understanding the delicate nature of the situation, Jake nodded solemnly as he followed Bradley and Bob to the side, away from the chatter of the breakfast table. He appreciated their genuine concern and willingness to offer support.
"Y/n hasn't conceived yet," Jake admitted softly, his expression reflecting the weight of the situation. "She's been struggling with the uncertainty, and it's been weighing heavily on her."
Bradley's brow furrowed with empathy, while Bob nodded in understanding. "Is there anything we can do to help?" Bradley asked, his voice filled with compassion.
Jake sighed, considering Bradley's question carefully. "Just be there for her," he replied earnestly. "She needs our love and support now more than ever. Knowing that she has our unwavering support will mean everything to her."
Bob and Bradley exchanged a meaningful glance before nodding in agreement. "You can count on us, Jake," Bob assured him, his voice filled with determination.
With a sense of gratitude, Jake thanked them, feeling reassured by their solidarity. Together, they returned to the breakfast table, ready to face the day as a united family, their love and support serving as a beacon of hope in the face of uncertainty.

Brother's Best Friend - Part 12
Jake Seresin x F!Reader
A/N: Trying to get back into these two. Did we miss them?
Summary: The trials and tribulations of falling for your brother's best friend.
CW: mild angst, swearing, fluff
WC: 2600+
Part 1 | Masterlist
Tumblr media
“So…” Jake pauses and purses his lips to suppress a mischievous smile. “When did you start liking me?”
You look down at your lap where his head has been resting for the last five minutes. “Did I tell you I like you?”
Jake meets your gaze and snorts. He reaches up to take your hand off the keyboard of your laptop and brings it down over his chest. “Indirectly,” he admits.
You roll your eyes, recalling when you had expressed to Bradley – in Jake’s presence – how ‘your guy’ makes you feel. You pull your hand out of his grasp and look back up at the screen in front of you. “I have to work, Jake.”
“You’re too hardworking,” Jake responds with a whine.
You shake your head with a grin. “Such a dreadful habit, I know. I’m working on it – wait. Damn, I see what you mean –”
Jake starts chuckling and his head tickles your bare thighs. “You’re so fucking cute.”
You press your lips together as your smile broadens. “When did you start liking me?” you ask.
Jake releases a heavy sigh and sits up. “Alright, enough chitchat. Get to work.”
You watch him rise to his feet and make his way into the kitchen, curious why he so abruptly decided to change the subject. “Got any plans this weekend?” you ask casually, wondering if he’ll finally ask you out on a date. The two of you have been sneaking around for a while, but your only outings together have been with Bradley, so you couldn’t even hold hands. Thus far, you’ve assumed that Jake is just waiting for the right moment to speak with Bradley before the two of you make your relationship official but, as time goes on, you become increasingly skeptical that Jake actually intends to come clean.
Jake shrugs. “Not really. Just hangin’ with your bro.”
You try your best not to frown. “Sounds fun.”
Jake walks back over to you and sets a bowl of strawberries on the table by your laptop. You glance up at him inquisitively and he responds with, “You haven’t eaten since breakfast.”
You give him a smile. “Neither have you.”
He nods. “Which is how I know you’re hungry.”
“Thanks,” you say. “As soon as I’m through with this part, I’ll move all this shit and we can have some lunch.” You gesture at the pile of literature currently cluttering your workspace.
Jake takes a seat adjacent to you at the table and lets out another sigh. “I don’t know,” he says.
You shift your gaze from your computer to look in his direction. “Don’t know what? If you want lunch?” You pick up a strawberry and pop it into your mouth.
Jake is observing you carefully and you stop chewing because the attention makes you uncomfortable. “I don’t know when…” he says, pausing as though he isn’t sure how to continue. “When, uh… I don’t know at what point” – he exhales sharply – “I have no clue when I f – when I started to see you as more than just Bradley’s sister. As more than a friend.”
You raise your eyebrows at him, your mouth still full of half-chewed strawberry.
“I think I just realized, at one point, that I’d rather spend time with you than with anyone else,” he admits.
You finish chewing awkwardly before responding with, “Huh.”
Jake stares at you expectantly, as though you should have something to add.
But you’re not really sure what to say. You’ve been crushing on Jake for an embarrassingly long time and he does not have clearance for that kind of classified intel, especially since his interest in you is far more recent. What does he want, anyway? A pat on the back for finally figuring it out?
“Your turn,” he says, clearing his throat and leaning back in his chair with an air of confidence.
You purse your lips as though you’re in thought. “Not sure,” you say vaguely.
Jake narrows his eyes. “Not sure? Or don’t want to say?”
You meet his gaze tentatively. “I probably liked you before you liked me.”
Jake watches you with a slight grin. “In that case, you were very good at hiding it.”
You arrive at the pub already slightly tipsy after pre-drinking at your friend’s house. In fact, you’re drunk enough to not give two shits that Jake has, once again, decided to spend his Saturday night with Bradley. This time, he didn’t even invite you along.
Once inside, you head straight for the bar; no sense in wasting time waiting for a table. You grab a drink and take a look around the crowded establishment. That’s when you see him.
Jake fucking Seresin is sitting at a table near the back – not with your brother. You stare at him – and his female companion – in horror for a few moments, letting the scene sink in. Wondering if you’re in the wrong for being shocked. Are the two of you even exclusive? This has never actually been discussed. But one thing is certain: Jake lied, which makes you sick to your stomach.
You slide off your barstool and, cocktail in hand, you make your way to the little table in the back where your supposed boyfriend – or whatever he is – sits entertaining another woman. It’s not long before Jake notices your presence because you’re making quite a spectacle on your way over as you furiously skirt every person in your path.
Jake looks uncomfortable and that satisfies you greatly. “Hey,” he says when you arrive.
You gape at him. “Hey?” you exclaim in outrage.
“Uh,” Jake stalls for a moment. He turns to his date and says, “This is Bradley’s sister.”
The woman opposite Jake smiles at you but you’re too busy glaring at Jake to acknowledge her. “That’s all you want to say about me?”
Jake watches you pointedly. “What else do you want me to say about you?” He looks back at his date and lets out a nervous chuckle.
“Are you fucking kidding me, Seresin?” you shriek, slamming your stemmed glass onto their table so aggressively that your sour apple martini splashes over the rim.
Jake jerks back to avoid getting wet and then looks up at you in alarm. “What’s the matter with you?”
You shake your head at him in disappointment and then turn abruptly to leave. You expect Jake to grab your hand, or follow you out, but he does neither. In fact, you make it all the way back to the bar before you realize that Jake is not even looking in your direction. You see him laughing together with his female friend, as though they both just witnessed something absurd and worthy of repeating in the future for a good chuckle.
“Hey, isn’t that your brother’s aviator buddy?” your friend says, nodding toward the back of the pub.
You roll your eyes and then turn toward the bar, realizing you left your drink at Jake’s table.
“He’s kind of hot,” you friend continues. “But he’s got fuckboy written all over him.”
You close your eyes and sigh. You have nobody to blame but yourself. You know Jake. What in the world made you think he would become a different person if he were with you?
The following day, you wake up past noon with a debilitating migraine. You hear Bradley and Jake’s voices drift up from the kitchen and groan. You’re not in the mood to face Jake after the events of the previous evening. You ended up going home shortly after confronting him and you have no idea where he ended up. Probably in bed, and probably not alone.
You get dressed unhurriedly, dizzy from the pain and, on your way downstairs, you grip the banister tightly just in case. The kitchen is excruciatingly bright, and you cringe upon entering, shielding your face from the open window like a vampire.
“Oh, hey sleepyhead!” your brother greets you.
You grunt in response and head straight for the coffee pot. “Is this fresh?” you ask.
“Nope!” Bradley replies cheerily.
You pour yourself a mug anyway and put it in the microwave, turning to face the two of them while your coffee warms.
Jake meets your gaze with a stoic expression.
“How was your night?” Bradley asks with a grin, clearly seeing that you’re hungover.
“Fine,” you say monotonously.
Bradley raises his eyebrows. “It’s the enthusiasm for me,” he says with a smirk, looking over at Jake.
Jake, however, ignores him and grabs his jacket from the back of one of the kitchen chairs. “You ’bout ready, Bradshaw? I ain’t got all day.”
“Alright, alright,” Bradley says. “Let me get my stuff.”
Bradley jogs over to the staircase and runs up to grab his duffel bag. Meanwhile, you are deliberately avoiding Jake’s gaze as you lean your back into the kitchen counter. Jake stuffs his hands into his pockets and is also not looking at you. When Bradley returns a few minutes later, disrupting the silence with a melodic whistling, the two of you have not moved an inch from where you’d been standing when he left. Even though the microwave has beeped at you twice.
“What’s with you two?” he asks, pausing in the doorway.
“Nothing,” Jake responds curtly. “Let’s go.”
Bradley glances between the two of you. “Okay,” he says slowly, his gaze lingering on you in particular. “See you later, sis,” he says.
You wave a distracted hand in his direction and head for the couch with your coffee, nearly bumping into Jake as you cross paths because neither of you is looking at the other.
“Sorry,” Jake mutters, stepping aside to let you pass. His hand goes up instinctively to guide you but he catches himself before letting it rest on your arm.
“It’s fine,” you say, wavering slightly on the spot. You squeeze your eyes shut for a moment and press a couple of fingers into your temple.
“You okay?” he asks, his eyebrows converging as he tries to catch your gaze.
“I said I’m fine.” You sigh, trying to walk around him.
“Seresin, you coming, or what?” Bradley calls from the foyer.
Jake hesitates as you finally pass him, and then yells back. “I’ll meet you there!”
Bradley waits a moment as though he’s still trying to figure out what’s going on. Then you hear the front door open and Bradley shout, “Don’t be late!” as he exits the house.
Jake trails after you into the living room and, when you lower yourself onto the couch, he crouches down in front of you, placing a hand on your knee. “Migraine?” he asks.
You nod slowly so as not to exacerbate the pain.
Jake’s hand gives your leg a soft squeeze. “Have you eaten?”
You cringe. “Please don’t talk to me about food right now,” you beg.
“Did you take anything?”
You shake your head. “I’m out.”
Jake gets to his feet. “I’ll go pick up some meds for you,” he says.
You glance up at him miserably. “You’re going to be late.”
“Don’t worry about it,” he responds, already on his way out.
Jake returns not ten minutes later with your medication and a bag full of snacks. “I heard dark chocolate is good for migraines,” he says, holding out a block for you as you swallow your pills.
“I’m not hungry, Jake,” you say weakly, closing your eyes and lying back down on the couch.
Jake sighs, sitting down on the floor beside you and starting to unwrap the chocolate. “You need to eat something,” he says, breaking off a piece. “I also have gummy worms and popcorn.”
You open your eyes. “I love gummy worms,” you whisper.
Jake grins. “I know,” he whispers back.
You take the chocolate square from his hand and he busies himself with opening the bag of gummy worms while you let the chocolate melt in your mouth. A moment later, he hands you a gummy worm and you stick it between your teeth and bite. “Oh my god, it’s so good,” you moan. The motion of chewing helps alleviate some of the pain in your temple and you sigh blissfully, closing your eyes.
Jake leans his back into the wall adjacent the couch and pops a gummy worm into his mouth. For a while, the two of you sit in silence. Then, he says, “You wanna talk about it?”
“Not really,” you say.
Jake shakes his head and you can sense his irritation without even looking at him. “This isn’t going to work if you don’t trust me.”
You turn to give him a flat look. “Would you trust you, Seresin?”
Jake squares his jaw. “I have never given you a reason not to trust me.”
“You lied to me! You said you were meeting Bradley!”
“I was! He was running late.”
You watch him sourly. “And you just happened to pick up a girl while you were waiting?”
Jake returns your bitter glare. “Is that actually what you think?”
“I don’t know what to think,” you say, sitting upright to look him in the eye. “You weren't exactly forthcoming with an explanation.”
Jake sets the gummy worms on the couch and gets to his feet. “The girl was there for Bradley. He was running late. End of story.”
“You couldn’t tell me that yesterday?”
“She’s seeing Bradley! And he doesn’t know about us. It’s not like I can say, ‘Oh, by the way, I’m actually dating your boyfriend’s little sister and that’s why she’s acting like a nutcase. Brb.’”
You fold your arms, sulking. Did you consider the possibility that the woman Jake was sitting with wasn’t his date? Briefly. But you were already annoyed with Jake and that, combined with your less than sober state, was apparently a recipe for disaster. “I guess I don’t trust you,” you say with a shrug, even though this statement isn’t altogether true.
Jake places his hands on his hips, exhaling slowly. “Why?” he asks, sounding exasperated.
You stay silent and continue to brood.
Jake pinches the bridge of his nose and grimaces as though this conversation is wearing him out. Then, he lets out another sigh and crouches before you again, trying to catch your gaze as he places his hands in your lap, palms up. “Why?” he asks calmly, waiting for you to join hands with him.
You do. “Well, why would I?” you say quietly, hesitating before you continue. “What is this, even? What are we? Do you know? Because I don’t.”
Jake’s eyebrows knit together. “What are you talking about?”
“Well, why haven’t you told Bradley yet? Is it because you’re not sure you want to make this official? Is it because it’s just a fling so why bother?” You cringe inwardly, hating how insecure you sound.
Jake stares at you in wonder, as though this line of thinking has never even crossed his mind.
“Like, are we even exclusive?”
Jake’s eyes widen and he blinks at you in awe. “We fucking better be,” he retorts, his hold on your hands tightening slightly.
“Well, how would I know that?” you exclaim.
Jake brings his hands up to his face and rubs his eyes. “Jesus fuck, how would you not know that?”
You scoff at him. “Because you’ve never once been in an exclusive relationship! Not while I’ve known you, anyway. Do you even know how?”
Jake’s hands slide down his face and stay over his mouth as he gapes at you. When his hands finally drop back into your lap, you can see that he’s got a small smile on his face. “You’ve got nothing to worry about,” he says finally.
You lower your gaze, not exactly comforted considering he still has not addressed your main concern: Bradley.
Jake stands up and pulls you up off the couch. He puts his arms around you and you rest your head against one of his giant shoulders, allowing him to cradle you lovingly.
“Why haven’t you told Bradley?” you mutter into his shirt.
Jake pulls away from you and runs a hand through his hair uneasily. “I’m scared, Baby B,” he admits. “I’m scared he’s gonna make me choose.”

Pairing: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Reader
Warning: Fluff, flirting
As they returned home from their Hawaiian adventure, Jake wasted no time in beginning the process of merging their lives together. With determination in his step, he carried clothing items and other belongings that belonged to Y/n into his room, a tangible symbol of their commitment to building a life together.
Each item he carefully placed held significance, a reminder of the moments they had shared and the memories they had created together. As he arranged them in his room, he couldn't help but smile at the thought of waking up every day surrounded by reminders of the love they shared.
Y/n watched from the doorway, her heart swelling with gratitude and love as she witnessed Jake's efforts to make their home truly theirs. With each trip he made, she felt their bond grow stronger, their connection deepening with every item that found its place in his room.
As Jake finished moving the last of Y/n's belongings, he turned to her with a smile, his eyes shining with love. "Our home is finally starting to feel complete," he said, his voice filled with warmth and affection.
Y/n crossed the room to join him, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace. "With you, it already feels like home," she whispered, her heart overflowing with love.
In that moment, surrounded by the echoes of their laughter and the promise of a future together, Jake and Y/n knew that their love was a force to be reckoned with. And as they looked forward to the adventures that awaited them, they knew that their journey together was just beginning.
With a playful twinkle in her eyes, Michelle bounded into the room, her arms wrapped around a huge bunny teddy bear nearly as big as she was. "I'm moving in too!" she exclaimed, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.
Jake and Y/n couldn't help but laugh at Michelle's antics, her playful spirit infectious as always. "But Michelle, your room is right next door," Y/n teased, her voice filled with affection.
Michelle shrugged, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "I know, but I want to be closer to Aunt Y/n and Uncle Jake," she replied, her voice filled with mock seriousness.
Jake ruffled Michelle's hair affectionately, his heart swelling with love for his spirited niece. "Well, I suppose we can make room for one more," he said with a smile.
With a delighted squeal, Michelle plopped down on the bed, her bunny teddy bear by her side. As they settled into their new arrangement, surrounded by love and laughter, Jake and Y/n couldn't help but feel grateful for the family they had built together. And as they looked ahead to the future, they knew that with their niece by their side, their home would always be filled with warmth and joy.
Amidst the giggles and laughter, DJ and Stephanie burst into the room, their faces beaming with excitement. "We're coming too!" they declared in unison, their voices filled with playful determination.
Jake and Y/n exchanged amused glances, their hearts swelling with love for their nieces. "But girls, your room is just across the hall," Jake pointed out, unable to suppress a smile.
Stephanie shrugged nonchalantly, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "We know, but we want to be closer to the action," she replied, her tone teasing.
DJ nodded enthusiastically, her grin mirroring her sister's. "Yeah, we don't want to miss out on all the fun," she chimed in, her excitement palpable.
With a laugh, Jake and Y/n welcomed their nieces into the room, their hearts overflowing with love for their spirited family. As they settled into their new arrangement, surrounded by love and laughter, they knew that their home would always be filled with joy and warmth. And with their nieces by their side, they were ready to embrace whatever adventures the future held.
As the bed became crowded with Jake, Y/n, and their three lively nieces, the atmosphere was filled with joy and excitement. Suddenly, without warning, Stephanie launched the first attack, her fingers wiggling as she pounced on DJ, causing her to burst into a fit of giggles.
Not one to be left out, Michelle joined in the fun, her tiny hands tickling anyone within reach as she rolled around on the bed, her laughter contagious.
Jake and Y/n couldn't help but get caught up in the chaos, joining the tickle fight with gusto as they playfully wrestled with their nieces, their laughter mingling with the sounds of joy and delight.
The room echoed with laughter as the tickle fight raged on, each participant fully immersed in the playful mayhem. In that moment, surrounded by the love of their family, Jake and Y/n knew that these were the moments that made life truly special, moments filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories that would last a lifetime.
As the laughter and chaos continued in the bedroom, Jake and Y/n slipped out into the hallway, their hearts still racing from the excitement of the tickle fight. With a warm smile, Jake wrapped his arm around Y/n's waist, drawing her close.
In the soft glow of the hallway lights, he looked into her eyes, his gaze filled with love and longing. "Do you think it's finally our time to make a little munchkin?" he asked, his voice tinged with hope and anticipation.
Y/n felt her heart skip a beat at Jake's words, a rush of emotions flooding through her. For so long, she had hesitated, unsure if she was ready for the next step. But now, standing in the hallway with Jake by her side, she felt a sense of peace and certainty wash over her.
With a smile that matched his own, she nodded, her eyes shining with love. "Yes," she whispered, her voice filled with happiness. "Yes, Jake, let's make a little munchkin together."
In that moment, surrounded by the quiet serenity of the hallway, Jake and Y/n knew that their journey together was about to take a new and exciting turn. And as they embraced each other, their hearts filled with joy and anticipation for the future, they knew that their love would only continue to grow stronger with each passing day.

Congratulations babe parenthood is a gift ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊 take care of you and this bundle of joy ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I stay always here ❤️❤️❤️😊 @callsigns-haze ❤️😊 don’t worry and thank you for share that
🌟 Important Update for My Wonderful Followers 🌟
Hey lovelies,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to chat with you all about something important. As you know, life has its way of throwing surprises at us, and right now, I find myself juggling quite a bit.
In just five short weeks, I'll be diving headfirst into my exams, and they've become my main focus. Education is incredibly important to me, and I want to give it my all.
On top of that, I've recently welcomed a precious newborn into my life. Parenthood is a beautiful journey, but it definitely adds a new layer of adventure and, let's be real, chaos.
With these exciting yet demanding responsibilities on my plate, I wanted to give you a heads-up that my future posts might be slower to come and perhaps a tad sparse. I promise this isn't a goodbye or farewell, just a little pause as I navigate through this hectic.
This means I really don't know when the next part of out of all will be out, short love is all scheduled and up and ready so that'll be my main updates.
Your support means the world to me, and I appreciate your understanding as I balance these different facets of my life. I'll still be around, checking in when I can, and I can't wait to share more with you once things settle down a bit.
