Ollie's Sick Day: An Our Quiet World Piece

Summary: Ollie, YN and Austin's first son gets sick while at school and has to come home early and Gracie is the best little sister to her big bubba

@austinbutlersbaby

***

It all started with a phone call from Ollie's school during naptime. You knew something was up because Ollie struggles at school every now and then because it was public school and he didn't quite fit in but you hadn't expected a call so far into his school day.

Turns out he had puked in class and needed someone to come get him and keep him home until he felt better. The school nurse had asked Ollie if he 'wanted to talk to mommy' and when he finally talked to you poor little guy started crying and sounded miserable.

"Okay baby, I'll be there in ten minutes okay? Just lay down and try to rest and I'll come get you. No, Gracie's gonna stay home with daddy okay? It'll just be me, is that okay? Alright I'll see you soon bubba."

Everything okay? Austin signed as he sat at the kitchen table waiting for Gracie to get up.

No you signed back, Ollie's sick And with that you turned and started getting ready to go get your bubba.

Not even ten minutes later, you walked into the nurses office to see your little boy curled up in a ball on a cot and whimpering with a trashcan sat near his head. You almost spoke before you noticed his hearing aids were sat on the nurses desk so you flick the lights on and off so Ollie notices you.

Hi baby, you okay? You sign. It's obvious your poor baby is too tired to sign and make his hands make words so he slowly gets up and puts his ears in so he can just hear you instead.

Making sure his ears are turned on, Ollie sits back down on the cot and reaches for you, his bottom lip wobbling. You come and hold his hand. "Hi bubba, what happened, you got sick?" Ollie nods, starting to cry. "Mamaaaaa!" He whines. "I know, I'm so sorry baby. We'll get you home okay and we can nap and cuddle okay?" Ollie nodded, hugging onto us. You kissed his head and ran a hand through his hair. "Do you want me to carry you or do you wanna walk?"

Ollie didn't even answer all he did was raise his arms up, silently asking to be picked up. "Alright baby, and we have some of daddy's puke bags in the car just in case, okay?" Ollie nodded and put his head on your shoulder. You couldn't help but coo at your baby and rub his back. "Alright let's go bubba." You hated when your children were sick.

Thankfully you two got home without any more puke messes. You brought Ollie in and noticed Austin was helping your youngest put her shoes on. The toddler really wanted to say hello to her big brother but Ollie just did not want to be bothered.

"Tell mama where we're going, Gracie?!" Austin excitedly asked your daughter. "To the park, mama! Ollie you come too?" Gracie asked excitedly, bouncing on her toes. Ollie shook his head and clung tighter to your shirt. "No baby, Ollie doesn't feel too good, he needs to go up and rest okay? But you and daddy go have fun okay?" Gracie pouted for a minute but then remembered then she'd have one on one time with her daddy. "Okay, next time, Ollie!"

"Yeah, next time." Ollie murmured as you brought him upstairs. "Alright bubba, let's get you nice and cozy okay." Ollie crawls very carefully onto his bed and waits while we look through his pajamas. The next thing you know you hear an unmistakable gag. You rush toward Ollie and hold out your hand under his chin waiting to catch the puke. Just another one of of the gross duties of motherhood you suppose.

As he begins to vomit you know you need Austin's help. Please have your ears on you beg in your head as you call out to your husband "Austin, help! Austin! We need a puke bowl!"

Thankfully Austin rushes in minutes later offering the family puke bowl to your son.

We hold our hand out and go wash it up while Austin sits with him patting his back. "You're okay, bud, good job. Almost done, you're okay." Usually Austin is so afraid of vomit, has emetephobia but he sets it aside for you, Graice and Ollie. But when he himself is sick, his anxiety is sky high so he knows how Ollie feels.

"Daddy, so icky!" Ollie cries a few minutes later, clinging to his daddy's shirt as he cries. Austin kisses your sons blonde curls and rubs his back. "I know bud, I know you feel so bad but you'll feel better so soon. Sissy and I are gonna go to the park so you can rest and mama will stay with you and give you tons of cuddles, is that okay?"

Ollie looked between the two of you as you sat back on his bed and eventually nodded. Ollie laid down and got cozy with his puke bowl while Austin stood up and gave us a hug. "Bye, love. I'll have my phone on text me if bubba needs anything?" You nodded, giving your husband a gentle peck on the lips. "I will. Maybe get him a little action figure to cheer him up when he feels better?" Austin nodded, smiling. "Good idea," Austin smiled at your son, waiting by his door. "Alright bubba we're off. Feel better okay? I love you honey." Ollie just quietly burrowed into his blankets

Two hours later, after running around playing on the playground for a while to give Ollie some peace and quiet, Austin and Gracie made a stop at the pharmacy to grab supplies.

"First up is some medicine!" Austin said, looking through the aisles. Gracie scrunched her nose and whispered, "Yucky dada." Austin chuckled. "Yeah, I know but it'll make him feel better faster so he can play more."

As the two of them walked around the store, Gracie spotted the toys aisle. "Daddy, daddy, we should get bubby a new stuffie for him to cuddle while he doesn't feel good!" Gracie pulled her dad down the aisle excitedly. "That's a great idea, Gracie-bug! Which one should we get? I' gonna grab him an action figure."

"We should get him this one daddy." Gracie showed her dad a pink bear with red hearts all over it. "And since it's pink, he'll know it was from me." Austin cooed at the cuteness of his daughter. "Aww sissy, that's so sweet. Alright one more thing, we need a card. Do you want to pick one out?" Gracie nodded, happy to help.

Thirty minutes later, Austin took Gracie down the hall to her big brother's room. "Wait Gracie, let me check he's awake okay?" Austin poked his head in and saw Ollie was still awake watching cartoons cuddling up to you. You waved quietly. "Look who's back baby." You whispered, pointing to your husband. "Hi daddy.." Austin smiled. "Up for visitors bub? Your sissy wants to give you a present?" Ollie nodded.

Austin let Gracie run in and sat on his bed proudly showing him the gifts she picked out. "This for you, bubba! Hope you feel better!"

Seeing the bear and new action figure, Ollie smiled for the first time all day. "Thank you Gracie!" Ollie said quietly, giving his sister a lose hug.

There we go, the new AU's first sickfic! Woo!

I hope you guys like this new AU, if you ever want to talk about it, my inbox is always open if you want to chat <3 :)

Tales of Dreamland: Party's Over

A black man in a black suit paced. They were on top of a skyscraper in a golden dance hall. Behind him his brother tried to assure him. "She will be here." "They were kidnapped an hour ago, man! We don't have time to waste." "We put out the call, Aunt Linda will be here. Count on her."

Right on cue, an elderly white woman appeared. She seemed irritated. "What is it Louie?" "Ah! Thank God you've come, I need your help." "You always need my help, you called me just a few seconds ago to help you find your keys!" "When was that?" "Just a minute ago.. Can't have been more than two." "No, you're in the Time Bubble. When did I call you, when I lost my keys in 3046?" "I believe so. Why?" "This is 3048. Linda… My fiancé was just kidnapped from our rehearsal. Grace, she's gone." Her face paled. "I-I think it had something to do with the problem at Lakeview, you know when we lost her sister?" "Tina? What happened to Tina?" "I thought you already looked at that, we talked about it two months ago!" "To you, maybe! But.." Linda sighed, turning and smiling at the other man. "Hello Sean. It is so nice to see you." He nodded, she snapped her attention back to Louie. "You have future analysis, something I don't currently have. Do you know how many hoops I will have to jump through because you couldn't- I'm not trying to cast blame here - why didn't you call for someone ahead of me who already has the results?" "Because.. I-I don't want to lose her too." Tears formed in his eyes. "Please. I'll do anything!!" "Fine. Just don't grovel, I hate that. You're lucky you're my favorite outcome for my niece. I'll see what I can dig up. It may not be complete." "Thank you Linda." "Could have had a dentist for a nephew-in-law if Gracie didn't mind a little light snoring…" She muttered, disappearing from view for a moment. She reappeared, holding a large red dossier. Undoing the thick dark red ribbon she muttered "But nobody can dance like you, she says… Alright, today is a week before your wedding in 3048, April 27th?" "June 4th." "Oh, so you didn't get that promotion… That's ok, that's ok. A lot of this is stream-of-consciousness direct from the Garblebot. It'll take me a bit to sift through it. Lakeview was… 3042. Oh," Her hand flew to her mouth, her face rapidly reddening as tears began to flow. "Oh Tina.." "Linda.." "Just- Give me a moment. I have to give you this news just after I'm done processing it. When was that?" "Two months ago." "Two months ago… So I won't be able to tell you then about this kidnapping. Makes it impossible to change the outcome. Are you sure you don't want to wait for analysis? We can send it backwards once we have it." "But if it's the same as Lakeview, we won't get the analysis until over 5 years later! We have to act now if it is the same ones!" "The realtor Mr. Robert Zumag and his accomplice Kitty Flanchette are serving their infinite sentence in Time Jail already. They won't be temporally released for ten years, and even then it is slated to be for only a few years at a remote cabin in Laos. We don't currently know who did this. I'm not sure how I can help." "Well, just tell me what you can see." "I'll try. You'll just need to correct me if I say something inaccurate; this isn't just the current timelines but several alternate realities too. Here goes:"

The rehearsal went off flawlessly. Everyone got to the blimp in time, no drama - "outside, Leana and Megan did fight over who got to catch the practice bouquet" - Oh, so that continued through the rehearsal. After the ceremony concluded late, the blimp was already docked here. Grace and her bridesmaids got onto their mega plane. They were heading back to the family estate. - "Yes, but they never arrived." - OK, did you notice anything about the pilot? - "No." - Did anyone?

Louie whirled to address his father-in-law "Perry?" "He was taller than me, thin." "Probably because he doesn't have your appetite for sponge cake!" His brother, Marlin, laughed and slapped his belly.

Very well. Tall, thin… Narrows it down. He was either the kidnapper, or someone else did it. -"..That really doesn't narrow it down." - Not from your perspective. When did you realize she wasn't where she was supposed to be? -"Not too long ago, a half hour." - Good, good. For how annoying this is at least you acted promptly. Parallels to Lakeview… Grace and Tina were there looking for a beach house. They found a realtor in a strip mall, the next morning there was a minor flood… Let me check weather patterns. -"What does the weather tomorrow have to do with right now?" Sean interjected - I'm sorry, did you want to sift through Garblebot's garbage? There's whole chunks of this that is just fanfiction of the Great Gatsby. No? -"..Fanfiction?"- Yes. The damn machine found an alternate reality where he is an accomplished writer bot, and a bizarre other reality where he is a terrible hack fanfic writer. Seems to prefer the latter one. We usually edit it out before doing analysis… but there wasn't time if you wanted this fast. That night in Lakeview, Tina went missing. She went back to the realtors office, and her car was later found abandoned in a Target parking lot. No one ever saw her alive again… The poor sweet child. She was always too trusting. The mega plane is still in motion. -"It is?? Do you know where it'll end up?" - I'm not sure yet. It arrives at its destination sometime soon, however. Close to here. Actually very close.

A loud thud caused everyone to turn towards the docking bay. Through the large window they could see it was the same plane. They waited tensely. Finally the dock doors opened. The bride to be and her bridesmaids were happily chatting, carrying large bags from an elite shopping conglomerate. "Grace! My god-" He rushed to embrace her. She was stunned, albeit smiling. "You're alright! Are you hurt?" "No, I'm- I'm fine. Aunt Linda! What are you doing here, I thought you had work?" "Hello dear, I am at work. Your groom said you had been kidnapped, I'm glad so see all is well." "Kidna- Oh, no!" She laughed, "Of course not. We just decided on an impromptu trip to the Skye Malle, as a way to get these two past their bullshit." She pointed to her previously problematic friends. They were now chatting and clearly past their differences. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you darling, we just lost track of time is all. Hope I didn't have you worrying too much?" He flashed a nervous smile. "Whaaat? No, I- was never really worried." "Except you were." "Yes I did. I'm sorry, I freaked out. You weren't answering your phone-" "You called me?" Pulling out the device, she gasped. "Oh my, it was on silent! I'm so sorry honey. I didn't mean to make you worry. And Aunt Linda, I'm so sorry you were bothered at work for this!" "Only a minor bother for my favorite niece. Just glad to see you are ok dear. Could you make me some of your caramel brownies when you see me next?" "Of course! Do you know when that will be?" "I don't. I will have to pick up another shift here to make up for lost time. Pleasure to see everyone; but for me, the party is over."

girl I’m struggling to bite hold it together at my grandparents so any ronald speirs headcanons would be so much appreciated 😭♥️♥️♥️ thank u!!

Well now that just ain't gonna do my love! So Happy Christmas to you and I hope this colour palette & oneshot make your Christmas a little more merry 💓 (I know you requested headcanons BUT I had am idea for a oneshot so I hope you don't mind 💕)

Speirs Family Christmas

"Dad, are you sure there's no way Santa can miss our house?"

Ron sighed fondly and sat on the edge of Grace's bed, tucking her hair behind her ear. "Don't you worry sweetheart," he assured her softly, "Santa can't miss us. We've got the 'Please Stop Here!' sign outside. And anyway, Santa never forgets anyone on the nice list, and you and I both know how good you've been this year."

She looks up at him, big brown eyes wide and shining with excitement. "Now you better get to sleep so Santa can do his job. Goodnight Gracie." He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, tucking the blanket up around her and switching on her nightlight before making his way back downstairs.

"She get to sleep alright?" You asked as he sat on the couch beside you, snuggling into his side when he wrapped an arm around your shoulders.

"Think so," he murmured, resting his cheek on the top of your head, "she was just worried Santa would miss our house." You smiled and shook your head slightly, not wanting to disrupt your comfortable position.

As you went upstairs later that night, hand in hand, you paused outside Grace's door and peered in quietly. She was out like a light, her stuffed bear cuddled tight against her chest. As you closed the door with a quiet click you smiled softly at each other.

"Better prepare for an early wakeup call," Ron snickered as you climbed into bed. You groaned, but you couldn't keep the happy smile from your face.

"C'mere," he whispered, pulling you tightly against his chest and wrapping his arms around your waist. "Merry Christmas," he added with a yawn, pressing a soft kiss to your cheek.

"Merry Christmas," you sighed, snuggling closer to him.

It felt like you'd only just closed your eyes when you were woken by a small body jumping on the bed beside you.

"Wake up, wake up! Santa came!"

Ron sat up and rubbed his eyes, grinning tiredly at you and Grace. She grabbed you both by the hands and led you down the stairs to the Christmas tree, pointing excitedly at the stack of presents under it before racing over and tearing into them.

"Look," she cried, holding up a doll and waving it excitedly, "he knew just the right doll that I wanted." Ron's eyes twinkled with affection as he sat down beside his little girl and watched her open all her presents, nodding enthusiastically as she showed him every single one with delight.

"I'll go make us some hot chocolate," you said softly, pressing a kiss to both of their cheeks before walking into the kitchen. You paused in the doorway and watched the two of them lovingly for a moment, giggling as Grace slowly buried Ron in a pile of discarded wrapping paper.

Another perfect Christmas in the Speirs house.

PSA: writing this made my heart feel all soft and mushy. Happy holidays everyone 💓🎄

wacky drabbles # 29

This week’s prompt is: How many [food items] did you eat today?

Prompt is bolded in the story.

This week features Part Five of my Very A Valtorian Christmas series. (Catch up here)

Candy Kisses

In the great room of the Valtorian manor the Christmas tree is lit and sparkling with glittering ornaments. Outside the windows the sky is darkening past sunset, and the first stars are poking through the indigo canopy. King Nicholas is holding a box of candy canes while Hana and Kate look for spots on the tree to hang them. Every so often the holiday music playing on the room's stereo system filters through their conversation, prompting Kate to smile and hum along.

Hana hangs a striped candy on a branch, glancing back over her shoulder at Nicholas, “Is this a good spot?”

Nicholas contemplates the ornaments around that part of the tree and directs Hana to another branch, “Try the empty branch up and to your right, where you are is a little crowded.”

Hana shrugs and then hooks her candy cane in the new spot, “I'll trust your judgement on where to put them. I'm new to this sort of thing.”

Nicholas nods, “I suppose for both of you ladies this is your first Christmas Holiday spent away from home. What traditions did you celebrate with your family?”

“Christmas isn't a national holiday in China, and my father was more interested in the boost to his business during December than the exchanging of gifts or spending family time.”

Kate frowns, exchanging a sad glance with Nicholas, “That's too bad Hana. Hopefully your Christmas in Cordonia is much nicer than that.”

Hana smiles, her eyes shining with emotion that she quickly blinks away. “It's already much better, thanks Kate.”

Nicholas steps over to Hana and slides an arm around her back to give her a hug. “I know my holiday is much nicer with you in it too, Hana.”

Kate grabs a candy cane out of the box and hooks it onto the front of her sweater. “Plus you're fun to decorate.”

Hana looks down and starts giggling, “Does this make my sweater an ugly Christmas Sweater now?”

Kate swipes a handful of tinsel from the tree and drapes it over Hana's shoulder with a flourish. “Nope, but it is now.”

The laughter in the great room is interrupted by the skittering of toenails and the whimpering and barking of the corgis as they race down the hall.

Kate claps her hands happily, “Ooh, Santa and his Elf are home.”

…

Drake pushes the heavy front door shut behind him and Maxwell. As he stomps on the mat to knock the snow off his boots, Drake pulls off his Santa hat and sighs, “It's good to be home.”

Fluffers and Gracie yip and circle Maxwell as he holds his bag of candy out of their reach.

“Sorry guys, these aren't treats for puppers.”

Kate, Hana and Nicholas join them in the front hall. Hana's still wearing tinsel on her sweater. Drake raises an eyebrow,

“Did you run out of room on the tree for that stuff? Or is the tree shedding?”

Hana looks down, “Oh, that. Kate was attempting to make me look more festive.”

After kicking his boots off, Drake gathers them up and steps by Kate, stopping to give her a kiss on the cheek on his way to the closet.

“Speaking of festive, is that dress new? Mrs. Claus looks nice in red.”

Smoothing one hand over her belly, and lifting the skirt to give it a little swish, Kate smiles,

“It's a Christmas gift from Hana, so Santa approves?”

Hana blushes slightly and looks away as Drake scoops Kate into his arms from behind and kisses her on the neck, his voice a low growl,

“Oh, Santa definitely approves.”

Maxwell pops a gummy candy in his mouth, watching the joyous reunion with just a little bit of envy.

Nicholas clears his throat trying to break up the growing awkwardness in the room, “Ahem, so shall we return to the great room? Resume our party?”

Hana snatches the bag of candy from Maxwell, scolding him when she notices the powdered sugar and sprinkles on his face, “Just how many of these candies did you eat today?”

Drake chuckles as he and Kate follow everyone back to the great room, "Oh about 10 too many."

In the great room a buffet table full of sweets and party food catches Drake’s eye. When Kate hears his stomach rumble, she grins and then lets go of his arm so he can go grab a snack. “Go ahead honey. I know that Santa can’t live on candy canes alone.”

Drake pops a piece of cheddar into his mouth, nodding as he chews and swallows. “Darn right he can’t.”

Hana waves Kate over by the Christmas tree, “Come take a Christmas selfie with me Kate.”

Maxwell chimes in, “Ooh, can I get in on that too?”

“Sure you can, sweety.” Kate makes room for Maxwell to get in the middle between her and Hana.

Hana hands Nicholas her phone to take their picture. Turning the phone sideways he lines up the shot, “Ok everybody, smile.”

Max wraps an arm around each girl and smiles wide, “Oh yeah, this is going on my Instagram.”

Drake rolls his eyes and then turns back to the buffet, mumbling, “Just keep your hand off my wife’s ass Beaumont.”

----

Nicholas joins Drake on the sofa with his own plate of snacks. They watch with amusement as Maxwell recounts the harrowing details of their sleigh ride to Hana and Kate. With every gasp of astonishment or frown in Drake’s direction he just shrugs or shakes his head.

Nicholas leans in close to Drake to ask, “Is that really how it happened?”

Drake mumbles around a mouthful of cracker, “One minute he was singing Jingle Bells and then all of a sudden he wasn’t. The way he tells it, I tried to jump us over a snowy canyon like Kristof and Sven.”

Nicholas frowns, “Like who?”

Drake shakes his head, “Nevermind.”

----

Much later, while Maxwell is trying to figure out how to connect the Karaoke machine he brought to the room’s stereo and TV, Drake pulls Kate aside.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m about ready to quit this party. After a day with Maxwell and a bunch of neighborhood children I’m hoping for some quiet time with my wife.”

Kate snuggles into Drake as he strokes his hand up and down her back, “Do you think they’d mind if we ducked out for a while?”

Tucking his face into her hair he mumbles, “I know we’re the hosts, but…”

Kate sighs with contentment and strokes her hand up and down his chest, running her fingers along the red elastic suspenders of his Santa suit. “You know what, these suspenders are kinda sexy…I wonder how they’d look on you without the shirt and red furry pants.”

Drake grins, “Ok that settles it, let’s go..”

While everyone else has their backs turned they quietly slip out the door.

AU H2O Friendship: Charlotte and Bella

(I don't want any crap about this alone. Free Speech can be practiced but no hate!)

If I had to think of a friendship from H2O that I'd like to have seen, it would be between Charlotte Watsford and Bella Hartley.

(Yes, I am aware that for this to happen, Charlotte had to have stuck around and still be a mermaid for Bella to approach her, but this is an AU of itself!)

So why? Excellent question because at first, one would think they would be as opposite as Rikki and Emma were. But at second glance, if you dig deeper (and deploy better writing and character development), their friendship makes a lot of sense.

For starters, the two would have been their own separate group from the girls, power-wise:

Charlotte has the main 3: Freezing, Boiling and Manipulating/Creating water from an already existing source. Or in layman's terms, Charlotte can manipulate water in its 3 states of matter -Heat being Gas and Solid being Ice.

Bella's powers aren't in a matter of states, but thickness. Realistically, Bella has Viscosity Manipulation:

"The resistance of fluids to a change shape, influencing spraying, injection molding, and surface coating. In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction", thus, water is "thin", having a lower viscosity, while honey is "thick", having a higher viscosity. Put simply, the less viscous the fluid is, the greater its ease of movement (fluidity). The user could make water thicker, making it harder for sea-life to survive or have honey pour out like water by making it thinner. " (from Superpower Wiki)

Therefore, Bella's powers allow her to make any liquid thick in anyway - thick enough to an ooz-like substance, hard enough to walk on, or causing it to explode (or attack).

So, in the best phrasing, both girls have their own sets of powers. And surprisingly, could use them in combinations if they wanted to: constructing paths while avoiding getting wet, creating attacks, creating items from molding and hardening, diversions and escapes to avoid exposure.... Basically, more than we ever saw on the show. And because their powers are so alike and different, it would avoid jealousy between them (especially on Charlotte's part, since she wouldn't feel like she had to compete).

Next, the friendship itself. What would it be like? Bella is mostly seen and notedly described as Bubbly, Caring and Attractive, but with her Status, she's doesn't let anyone get to close to her. In canon, it was Cleo and Rikki's - reckless - use of their powers that caught her attention, leading one to think she thought she was alone. Charlotte is Honest, Humorous (in her own way), and Strong-Willed. However, she is prone to Jealousy and Insensitivity, especially when feeling threatened or stressed.

As canon, we obviously saw Charlotte's worst traits at best and her best traits at worst (bad writing!) and Bella doesn't really stand up much for herself nor let it be known (debatable passive). So as friends, here's how I'd imagine it going down: (For Charlotte) Bella would be able to reach out to Charlotte in her worst moods and calm her down, encourages her to look closely at her actions and the consequences, inspire her immerse herself in her art, implore her to take in to regard of other people's feelings and accept that things won't always go her way/(For Bella) Charlotte would teach her to not be such a Pushover, to raise her voice, to take risks with relationships but call out when said relationships don't seem fair, provide honest opinions where others would rather flatter her, and tell her it's okay to be a little selfish in her life. But the main they both have in common (beside being the "4th" mermaid) is that, regardless of how it came to be, both girls know what it's like to be the outsider and will go out of their way to reassure each other that they're not alone anymore.

Lastly, they would become best friends because, unlike their Mako Mermaid counterparts, the Main Mermaid Trio would never have let them in.

(Y'all gonna think I'm bashing, but on this blog, I'll never be anything BUT honest regarding this!)

Take away the love triangles, legacies, durations and all that, let's tell the truth: Charlotte would have never been welcomed into the group. Not only were they waaayyy too closed off with anybody else aside their group (include boyfriends and exclude families), they had these two rigid yet nostalgic old people where were stuck in the glory days, back when they were young and happier, but disregarded why their group basically broke up (I mean, c'mon! They never even had families! They were still old geezers in the end!). "Only 3 Mermaids" statement only ended up being proven true because the girls (together and on their own) couldn't see past the idea that it didn't need to be "just three", choosing to follow the Past Gen's terrible examples . Max himself was in the wrong too for low-key encouraging Lewis that Cleo would always be the one for him - Basically my logic: If they are meant to last, let it happen on its own. Don't interfere! - and for leading Charlotte to gain and lose her tail, only indulging her because she was Gracie's granddaughter and inadvertly helping her loss only when her bad side became more apparent. Yes, she may be a lot like Gracie , but she has her flaws too. Basically, Season 2 was a mess of misinterpretations, past nalstogia, constant hypocrisy! Charlotte may have been in the wrong, but everyone else constituted to her downfall. Plus, Charlotte was realistic and straightforward on how she felt, having no problem of acting on it (like a certain fiery mermaid y'all like to praise....). Cleo, Rikki (and later Emma) were long ready to dismiss her before they even gave her approval or a chance. A chance they'd never give her, even as a legacy.

(If you by a feel I'm using the same arguments, sorry. As said before, I can't even talk about the second season without ranting!)

Moving forward, lets talk about Bella. For thise who believe they would have let Bella in, even if Emma hadn't left, bless your optimistic hearts. I might have said the same thing, but if the experience with Charlotte was still fresh in the mind, powers and lovers aside, the Ireland-made mermaid was better off if she kept walking when she first appeared. Let's play on the Comet still heading to earth: From 3x01, Bella would try to acknowledge the girls after the guy harassed her, they'd dismiss her. She'd try again at the bar named after Rikki, where they'd do it again until the Water Tentacle takes said mermaid away. Bella still stays to introduce herself, they'd thank her but dismiss her. 3 times would be enough for Bella to believe they'd want to be left alone. Why? Because the girls choose to only stick in 3s and Charlotte is still a fresh wound for them. Lewis might try to get them to befriend her, but they never listen to him anyways unless needed. Bella keeps her distance, the girls are stuck realizing a comet would destroy the world (and regarding the crystals, never wear them.) When comes time, either Emma or Cleo might realize Bella could help, but dismiss it as they'd thing 3 of them are enough to stop it. But Emma's powers can't hold hold the Tower of Light and the world does end. Why? Because they chose to be stuck in their ways and ignore the signs that Bella was meant to be with them for a reason. Yeah, this is all speculation on MY own take of how it would have went, that's beside the point. While it's nice to think Bella would have got a chance, in actuality, the only reason her spot was made was to secure the "Only 3" rule in Emma absence and you can't really deny it. Season 3 was an AU of its own where Bella's introduction all depended on timing and inconvenience on the Rikki and Cleo's part.

That being said, between the two mermaids, the H2O Trio would have never batted an eye at them, not unless they had too. And because of this, Charlotte and Bella would feel it was better to form their own group since they literally would have no one else to accept them.

All together, friendship between Charlotte Watsford and Bella Hartley is one friendship that I would have love to have seen and recognize as it's a friendship formed from loneliness and differences that set them apart from everyone else yet their do very personalities compliment each other and would bring out the best in them. Between their very different sets of powers, traits, interaction with the girls, they just might actually be what the other needed.

Grace & Ali

Sad, sad times

Grace: Please don't start drama but I do have something to tell you Grace: hopefully you'll be happy about it but I know dad won't be so I'm doing it here Grace: Not sorry mum Grace: Anyway the news is that you're gonna be a 👵 again! So exciting Grace: 👼💙💜 Ali: Hold up for one second Ali: How do you know? Have you been to the Drs? You didn't need to do that alone, Grace Grace: I took a couple of tests no need to hold my hand through that mum Ali: Those tests are less certain than that birth control we got you on for a reason Ali: Don't be taking the result as gospel yet Ali: And have you thought about this, properly? You don't even know this boy, so who knows what help he'd be if any, and you're nowhere near done with School, what about all your plans? How does a baby fit in with them? Grace: I'm not stupid, I've got loads of symptoms like Grace: yeah but I don't need him anyway it'll only be a bonus if he stays Grace: You managed so can I Ali: Okay, well, we'll get you an emergency appointment today, you have to deal with these things head-on Ali: It isn't a bonus, Grace, if a child is made by two people, it needs both of those people on its team, needs to know they care Ali: You know that, its all well and good to say otherwise, and ultimately, its your choice, but pretending no one else is involved or will have an effect is stupid, and you aren't repeating my mistakes Ali: Not to mention, our situations were different, we're different people, you have to do what is right for you, now, and you really need to think about what you're going to want a year from now, 18, 'cos its your whole life changed forever Grace: She wasn't a mistake, mum Grace: and neither is my baby Grace: I'm just saying if he's not happy about this, I am and I'll have plenty of people around to help me if he won't Grace: So don't be mad at me, okay? I need you to talk down round Ali: I'm not saying she was Ali: but she was undeniably a very unhappy little girl and I wouldn't wish the guilt I feel for my part in it on anyone, least of all you, any of my children, okay? Ali: You know you have both our support no matter what Ali: But, give yourself time to think about this properly, okay? Ali: You know you rushed things with Harry Grace: Did you say all this to Billie or does she get a free pass for being across the pond? Grace: Maybe it's just me because you don't think I can do this. Well fine Grace: I can and will. You'll see mum Ali: Hey now, of course I did, your different people in different situations but I still told her what she needed to hear, too Ali: What are you trying to prove, Grace, and to who? Ali: A child isn't a test, a chance to say fuck you to the world and everyone in it, you can't do that, it's not fair Grace: It's not fair that you're treating me like I'm 6 either Grace: I know you don't like Harry, but you should have a bit more of an idea about me by now Grace: If you can't be happy for me then don't but don't try and tell me what to do Ali: You're not acting like an adult at all right now, so don't expect me to treat you like one Ali: No one is trying to tell you what to do, Grace Ali: I'm telling you its your decision and you have to make it alone, and that's a terrifying and exciting prospect to a 16 year old all at once but if you can't handle the idea of doing that with a little bit of thought behind it then I don't know what to tell you Grace: I already have thought about it Grace: I wouldn't be telling you yet if I hadn't Ali: Okay, good. Ali: So, how are you going to provide childcare whilst you finish School? How are you going to afford the roughly 10 grand in the first year alone? Are you taking time off for the first 6 months, at least? How are you going to catch up? Ali: Talk to me Grace: I'll just leave school I'm rubbish at it anyway Ali: You are not Ali: but okay, what are you going to do for your career then? You can't get on the beauty course without at least seeing out this year and next Grace: I'll do my exams and stuff later if needs be Grace: It's not like I was going to get the beauty place so Grace: might as well have a rethink now instead of then Ali: Why not? Its vocational, you've got the talent most girls are going on that course to learn already, even if you don't get your 3Cs, which you're well on target for anyway, you can do your English and Maths alongside your course, they'll help you get them Ali: You just need to get the qualification out the way, then you can set up your own business if you want, but would you let someone without the certificate touch your face or hair? Ali: If you're having this baby, you need the money now, not later Grace: get over it, I am Grace: I'll just become a mummy blogger or whatever that's a skill I do have Ali: Don't be childish Ali: You might not want to tell me, whatever; but this is the sort of stuff you need to be sorted before the baby comes, end of Ali: How long do you need to do that before you've got your audience large enough for adsense? Which is pennies, you need to attract sponsors to really earn, for that you need to know how to negotiate, write and give proposals...then all that money comes in a chunk, you have to save wisely, budget Ali: Its a lottery, love, not impossible but not guaranteed Ali: You need guarantees in place Grace: excuse me for not having the next 40 years set in stone Grace: not like you and dad did so chill please Ali: No, no excuses Grace, they won't cut it Ali: We both knew what we wanted to do before any of you were born, and we were putting those plans into action Ali: Not only do you need this all set out and into motion, you'll have to do extra you didn't expect, didn't want to Ali: Begging favours left and right, working extra jobs on the side that you have no interest in but it covers the costs Ali: Its the hardest thing you'll ever do, and trust me, its a damn sight harder when the father doesn't pull his weight Grace: yeah well I didn't plan to have this baby and I haven't even told Harry yet Grace: Not sorry for not having everything figured out the second I got the result Ali: No, Grace, you ARE planning to have this baby Ali: you're doing it now, this is what I'm trying to tell you Ali: None of my pregnancies were 'planned', so few people's are Ali: but when you find out, you have to hit the ground running, the plan is being made, don't get swept up in panic or excitement or whatever emotion you're feeling, you can't afford to Ali: Are you going to tell him? Grace: Obviously, but like you said, I have to go to the doctor's first Grace: even if I know he'll want it confirmed Grace: want to know it's his too probably Ali: That's probably the best idea, yeah, got you in @5, okay? You can go in alone, if that's what you want Ali: Or if you want to bring one of your sisters, a friend, instead Ali: Well, I can't say anything on that, can I? I can see the merits but insulting, I'm sure Grace: I'll go on my own Mia's got a driving lesson so Grace: it's chill that's just what lads are like, esp when you haven't been coupled up long Ali: Is it? Ali: Chill, I mean Grace: yeah Grace: he's not used to keeping girls around before me that's all Grace: none at his school are loyal like Ali: I can see why Ali: Hardly inspires it, does he Grace: None of you know him well enough to be shady thanks Ali: Neither do you, Grace Ali: Come off it Grace: Don't start, mum Grace: I know enough Ali: I wish that were true Ali: but its yours to find out if you're not up for listening, can't blame you, I rarely did Grace: okay Grace: are you gonna tell dad? Ali: If you want me to Grace: Only if you make sure none of the others are around Ali: Of course, you can tell them all in your own time Grace: thanks Ali: No problem Ali: Anything else you need? Grace: No I'm fine Ali: Love you sweetheart Grace: Love you too 💜 Grace: No need to drag dad into my drama if you haven't already Grace: correct it to fake news otherwise Ali: Oh Grace, I'm so sorry Ali: Are you alright? Grace: yeah obviously Grace: not cut out for it anyway so Ali: Don't say that, I certainly didn't, you'll be a cracking mum one day Ali: Just not your time right now Grace: might as well've no need to backtrack now mum it's fine Grace: Not gonna be my time ever but there's always the beauty course for you to be buzzing about Ali: Don't put words in my mouth, especially not such nasty ones, that wasn't what I was saying at all, you know that Ali: What are you saying, Gracie? Grace: just what I said, you'll have to get your grandkids from the others Grace: plenty of us though so Ali: Hold on Ali: What did the Dr tell you? Grace: She said not only am I not having a baby now I can't have them. Ever Ali: Darling...I'm so sorry, that is, a lot for you to have to process now, too much Ali: And there's nothing I can say to make it better but where are you? You should come Home Grace: I'm fine where I am Grace: I'd rather be on my own anyway Ali: Okay but I don't think you should be Ali: Are you with Mia? Ali: Harry? Grace: No Grace: they'd only want to know what's up Ali: Of course... and you don't have to tell anyone, but I'm glad you told me. You shouldn't have to shoulder this alone, you don't need to, please come find me when you're ready Grace: No need mum I'm fine and like you said, there's nothing you can say Ali: I know Ali: But we can be there, we are Ali: When you're ready Grace: The doctor handled it I've got more info than I wanna read thanks Ali: I'm not going to lecture you, God, what kind of monster do you- Ali: The Doctor isn't your family Ali: I'd be a shittier Mum than I am if I didn't let it be known, even though that's all I've got to offer Grace: You've had loads of kids and could have more tomorrow if you wanted so excuse me if I don't come crying to you about something you'll never understand Grace: None of you can help me with this Ali: I know Ali: I know we can't Ali: Won't stop us trying, though, I'm sorry Grace: Save it for someone else's drama Grace: I don't need it Ali: I wish with everything I could give you what you need but I can't Ali: I just can't Ali: Stay safe, okay? Grace: I'm sure I already radiate enough saddo vibes to keep everyone at a safe distance Grace: is it okay if I stay at Mia's? Ali: That isn't true Ali: Of course, I'm glad you can have a friend around you, take as long as you need Grace: thanks, I'll come and get some of my stuff later but I can't deal with Janis thinking I'm moping because Harry dumped me or whatever Ali: Okay darling Ali: I get it Ali: She would be there if she knew, you know Ali: but you don't have to tell anyone Grace: she's a bitch mum Grace: and she hates me so like no way Ali: She doesn't hate you, not really, you just have your differences Grace: 🙄 I'll believe her instead of you thanks since she tells me enough Ali: We all say things we don't mean Ali: Especially when we're angry Grace: 🙄 Grace: anything else cringey you wanna add Ali: You know its true Ali: I love you so bloody much Ali: How's that? Grace: 💗 Grace: thanks for not telling anyone Grace: Mia's mum is always gossiping with her friends about everything Grace: I'd die if anyone found out about any of this Ali: Well, we'll both thank our lucky stars I'm not anything like Mia's Mum then, ay? Ali: It is nothing to be ashamed of, okay? Don't you ever think that, its okay to be heartbroken or furious at the world, God and me and everyone else who takes it for granted but don't you be ever ashamed, there's nothing wrong with you and there's a million ways to be a mum if that's what you decide you want still Ali: But you don't owe anyone an explanation, either Ali: I'll tell Dad, yeah? But that's as far as it goes Grace: I'm scared though and not just because the pharmacy woman is gossipy af Grace: The doctor was saying all this horrible stuff Ali: I know, well, I think I do...but we can talk it over when you come Home, or I'll come meet you for coffee in town or whatever and we can go through it all together Ali: Those leaflets are a bit scaremongery, but they have to be, cover their bases, I promise we will sort this so you don't have to be afraid of it and get you any help you might need Grace: Can you meet me soon? I don't think I can face Mia and not talk about this until I've talked about it Grace: Stupid I know but Ali: Not at all Ali: I'll come right now, we can sit in the car, have fish and chips if you like Grace: Thanks mum, sorry I was such a bitch before Ali: Nah, not at all, I don't need to be cringe and tell you we all say things when we're scared too, do I? Grace: 😂 Grace: You were right about me rushing the baby thing, I was, I just wanted it so much Ali: I know sweetheart, I know Ali: and I have been there, I really wasn't trying to be a hypocritical cow about it Ali: One day, I promise Grace: I know I shouldn't have pinned my hopes on it but everyone else has something Grace: I don't and I can't even mess everything up the same as the rest of you Ali: You're 16, Gracie, you don't have to even fake having it together like you would if you were having a baby right now Ali: and a terrible thing happened to us all Ali: the others are struggling too, doesn't downgrade or touch on your own, and I'm not saying it to act like it should Ali: but you really aren't alone in being not okay right now, not at all Ali: as much as it might pain me, its the truth of it Grace: I wish we could all go back and do it over Ali: Me too Ali: but, we can't, we've got to find a way to push through or we'll all be stuck Ali: none of us want that, do we? she wouldn't want it for us either Grace: but I don't know how to talk to any of the others anymore, especially Janis Grace: I miss them Grace: We used to tell each other everything Ali: Me either...I don't think Janis wants to be talked to anymore, not by anyone, all we can do is be there waiting when she does. I know it hurts. Ali: I know you do Ali: We all miss each other Ali: We got blown apart, but I have to believe we'll find our way back one day Ali: I know we all want to, I really do know that Grace: I keep thinking if I sit here long enough of my own, Edie'll pop up like she used to do Grace: She never came to me but, maybe this time because it's all so unfair already Grace: So stupid Ali: You can try talking to her, if you like Ali: One of the only alright things about it, you can get her to appear whenever you like Ali: if you're stupid then I'm absolutely daft Grace: She'd get it I think how I feel Ali: I reckon she would too Ali: She was a lot wiser than she let on Ali: Than people gave credit for Grace: Yeah Grace: Do I have to tell Harry any of this? ugh Grace: about me I mean, not how messed up the rest of us are Ali: No Ali: he's got no need to know, its none of his business unless you wanted the emotional support, that's the only reason Grace: But what if it changes everything he wasn't here to get with a 👵 Ali: If it changes anything he's a piece of shit Ali: not to mention, he didn't even know he was about to be a daddy so I don't think its a dream dashed for him Grace: yeah but all these side effects like, might as well be dating nan Grace: ugh I hate this Ali: I think nan's got enough boy drama with granddad, still, like Ali: Its shit, really shit but manageable Ali: You're stronger than this, millions of girls live with it and its not stopping them living to the fullest, so like fuck it will you Ali: Do you want me to sly ask Ro? See if she has any Doctor know-how, no more leaflets required Grace: She won't let it slip to anyone will she? Ali: Nah, 'course not Ali: Confidentiality, she'd never break her oath #goodytwoshoes Ali: and I'm pretty creative, I've asked her much stranger questions than this before now Grace: cool Grace: ask her then Grace: It was hard to take it all in earlier Ali: It would be Ali: Nothing prepares you but Drs are notoriously bad at even trying, like Ali: Right, now leaving work, where do you want me to pick you up from? Grace: I'll meet you there, anywhere but the CG obvs Grace: I wanna walk Ali: Cool, I'll text you when I'm here 💚 Grace: Love you 💜 Ali: Love you too
