For Liv 💚 @blue-eyed-cutiepatootie
“Um, this is for you.”
Dean looks up from the research he’s been unsuccessfully trying to focus on for over an hour to find Cas standing by his side. He’s holding a small brown parcel in his hands and his eyes are firmly glued to the floor of the bunker.  
Dean leans back in his chair and pushes the hefty book away from him, relieved to have a distraction. He looks at Cas curiously, feeling a smile tug at the corner of his mouth “What, you mean like a gift? You know it’s not my birthday, right?”
Cas manages to tear his gaze away from the floor he seems so fascinated by to look at Dean and, damn, is that nervousness in his eyes?  
“Yes, I know. Is it inappropriate to give you a gift anyway? I just thought, because of the tape you made me-”
Dean waves him away and rises from his seat, his heart skipping a few beats as he moves closer to Cas. He leans against the edge of the table and holds his hands out towards him. “I’ve never been one to turn down free stuff. Give it here, sunshine.”
Cas takes a step closer but his hands remain firmly attached to the little parcel. “I just- I know it’s not very aesthetically pleasing. The tape kept rolling away from me and I couldn’t seem to cut the paper evenly. Angels can do a great many things, but wrapping gifts is apparently not one of them.”
It takes every ounce of Dean’s strength not to laugh at the grim expression on Cas’ face. Only he could imbue something so ordinary with the seriousness of a heavenly mission. “I used to wrap gifts in newspaper, Cas, it’s fine.” He reaches forward and gently removes the gift from Cas’ reluctant hands.  
“Just don’t-”
Before Cas can finish talking, Dean turns the parcel over in his hands and comes face to face with a hilariously hideous mess of tape, torn paper, and what looks suspiciously like chewed gum. He raises an eyebrow at Cas who is awkwardly rubbing a hand across his neck. “I was going to tell you not to do that.”
Dean grins and flips the parcel back to the less Frankenstein-esque side. “Better?”
The soft smile that Cas flashes him in reply makes Dean want to wrap his arms around him and never let go. He shakes the thought from his head and digs into the parcel, gently pulling apart the layers of paper and tape, and expertly avoiding the gum. As he clears away the debris, something falls from the parcel and lands on the ground. He stoops to pick it up and a wave of emotion washes over him so suddenly he feels breathless. He straightens and looks at the item in his hands. For a long moment all he can do is stare at the gift Cas gave him. The thing Cas picked out, just for him. Just because he felt like it.  
“Socks,” he eventually hears his voice croak out.  
“Yeah, I, uh, thought you might like them.” He looks at Cas, his eyes pricking with tears. He looks back at the novelty socks and the little pizza slices embroidered into the fabric. “I know how much you love your hotdog pajamas and I thought-” Cas’ voice catches suddenly in his throat, doubt sneaking into his words. “I saw these at the store and they made me think of you,” he finishes quickly.  
“Cas,” Dean begins, but the rest of the words dissolve on his tongue. He looks at him and wonders how he can even begin to explain how much this means to him. How much the angel, standing only a breath away, and fidgeting nervously with the belt of his trenchcoat, means to him. Even if he could find the words, they wouldn’t be enough.  
And maybe this time, he needs more than words.  
Screw it, Dean thinks. It’s now or never.  
Dean drops the socks and steps forward fast, before his brain can take over. He has just enough time to see a familiar look of confusion cross Cas’ face before their mouths connect. Without a second of hesitation, Cas returns his kiss, so eager and so gentle it makes him want to cry. If Dean wasn’t so preoccupied he’d pinch himself. Cas gave him pizza socks and now they’re kissing? With a monumental effort, Dean switches off his brain and lets every doubt seep from his body as he leans into the kiss.  
The warmth of Cas’ lips, and his hands gently cupping Dean’s face are the start and the end of the world for Dean Winchester. 
Who knew novelty socks could be so romantic?

Daddy Henry
Got randomly inspired by a gif set of Henry Cavill I saw and reblogged yesterday and decided to write this. It’s been a hot minute since I wrote anything. I’ve been working nonstop working on the front lines during this very scary time in our lives. I truly hope that you are all safe and well. Thank you to all you essential employees that are working through this. Not just medical staff, but grocery store employees, service industry workers, every single one of you that is forced to go into this scary mess everyday. And for those of you struggling with no job, or you’re alone during this, I know this is incredibly hard for you as well. This story was my temporary escape, and I hope it can be that for you as well. I love all of you. Stay safe. 
Xoxo, Liv
CEO Sugar Daddy Henry/ Female reader
Warnings: This is just pure filthy smut. ddlg, choking, spanking, orgasm denial
The sun felt good on your skin as you laid out by the pool. You felt completely relaxed after the morning you had. First thing on your agenda was a mani/pedi at your favorite salon, followed by a ninety-minute shiatsu massage. The pampering helped your mood drastically. For some reason you were very tired and tense the past week. However, any residual tension you had in your body was fading away as you soaked up the sun. You were about to drift off when you heard a text come through on your phone.
 Message from Daddy$$: Princess I need you to come to my office in 30 minutes.
 You: Why daddy? I thought you were coming home soon?
 Daddy$$: I’m sorry Princess I have to work for a few more hours.
 You: fine...
 Daddy$$: don’t get bratty with me princess. Get your ass down here in 30 minutes or your ass is going to be so red you’re not going to be able to sit for a week.
 You: Okay daddy
   You sigh as you get up and head to the bedroom to get changed. Quickly, you throw on a short skirt with a matching top, but decide to skip the panties and bra to tease Henry a little. After you check your makeup in the mirror, you jump into your Range Rover that Henry got for your birthday last year and head to his office.
 Once you reach his floor, his assistant leads you in.
 Henry is still on the phone when he turns around to face you. He glares at your outfit and his eyes turn dark.
 “That sounds good. We can finish the details in the morning.” Henry hangs up the phone and sits back in his chair.
 “You’re pushing it, princess. I said to be here in 30 minutes.”
 “There was traffic and you gave me short notice daddy.” You pout” What did you want me to do, fly here?”
 “I’ve just about had it with your mouth.” He scolds. “And after all of the pampering I paid for you to have today this is how you thank me?”
 You stay silent, look down, and mumble. “Sorry daddy.”
 He unzips his pants and pulls out his thick cock. “Put your mouth to better use before I spank you into next week.
 “Yes daddy.” You say as you slowly make your way over to him. Once you’re in front of him you sink down to your knees and wrap both of your hands around him.
 “Good girl baby, you know what to do.”
 You start by licking his tip slowly. Your tongue barely touching his skin.
 He yanks your hair and pulls your head back. “I’m not in the mood for fucking games kitten. Now deep throat my cock right now.”
 The warmth between your legs spread quickly as you obeyed his orders and swallowed his cock. You loved when he was rough like this with you. It turned you on so much.
 Henry grunts as he holds your head down. “That’s it baby. Take that cock.”
 You moan and gag as you bob your head up and down, drool dripping out of your mouth making a mess on his lap.
 After a few minutes he pulls your head back up and wipes the drool and lipstick off your cheeks. “Princess. Did you wear any undergarments today?”
 “I didn’t want to wear them daddy.” You pant.
 “Why is that princess?”
 “I did it for you daddy.”
 He hums in approval. “Well then. Everything off baby. Let daddy see.”
 You smirk as you drop your skirt down and peeled your shirt off, leaving you only in your heels.
 “Oh kitten. You’re so stunning.” He sighs as he stands up. “I see you got a little tan today.”
 You giggle. “I was laying by the pool when you texted me daddy.”
 “Good. My princess deserves to relax and be pampered. However, you did piss me off a little today baby. So I’m not going to be gentle on you at all.” He turns you around and bends you over his desk. His hand spanks your ass a few times as well as your clit. You cry out at the sensation and the tingling going through your body. “Already soaked for daddy.” He grunts as he pushes his cock into you in one quick thrust. You feel the air leave your lungs as you try to quickly adjust to his size.
 “Fuck.” You whimper.
 He slams into you again and wraps his hand around your throat. He starts to keep a steady pace as he squeezes your throat tightly. “Oh fuck you feel so good kitten. So tight for daddy.”
 “Please.” You choke out. “More daddy.”
 He releases your throat and pushes your whole upper body onto his desk as he thrusts harder into you. You cry out as you feel yourself getting close. Henry senses this and pulls out. He grabs his cock and jacks off until he finishes all over your back.
 “Daddy.” You whine. “Please I’m so close.”
 “You should have thought about that before you mouthed off to me kitten.” He says as he pulls his pants up. “Only good girls get to cum.”
 “But that’s not fair.” You grumble.
 He sits back in his chair and starts typing away at his computer. “Life’s not fair kitten. Maybe if you’re a good girl you’ll get rewarded later. Get dressed, I have a lot of work to finish.”
 You let out a frustrated sigh as you start to get dressed again. You’re about to turn to leave but he stops you.
 “Princess. Aren’t you going to give daddy a kiss goodbye?”
 You decide it’s best not to piss him off anymore. Especially if you wanted an orgasm anytime soon. Slowly, you make your way back over to him and sit on his lap. You put both hands on his face and pull him into a slow, passionate kiss. “Bye daddy.”
 He grins and pulls his wallet out from his desk. “Here baby. Go buy that pretty purse you showed me last week. I promise I won’t be home too late.”
 “Thank you daddy!” You squeal excitedly as you grab his card and make your way out the door.
 When you get home, you decide to eat a light dinner and take a bubble bath. As you soak in the tub, you picture the events of his office from earlier. The anticipation was killing you. All you wanted was that sweet release he denied you.  It took all of the strength you had not to slide your fingers down your pussy. Your thoughts were interrupted when Henry walked into the bathroom.
 “There you are kitten.”
 “Hey you. Thought you were going to be gone a couple more hours.” You smile.
 He walks over to you and sits at the edge of the tub. “Just couldn’t wait that long to see you.”
 You giggle as you sit up and pull him in for a kiss, which he happily returns.
 “How about you wrap this bath up, dry off, and wait for daddy on the bed. I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
 “Yes daddy.”
 “Good girl.”
 You grab your towel and dry off quickly. Quickly you run into the bedroom and jump on the bed, not bothering to put anything on to cover you up.
 “Now there is a view daddy will never get tired of.” Henry says as he starts to pull his tie loose. “Did you miss daddy?”
 “Of course. I always do.”
 “And did you learn your lesson today?”
 You nod your head. “No more mouthing off to daddy.”
 “That’s my good girl. Lay down princess. Knees up, legs spread apart.”
 You do as he says and expose your soaked pussy to him.
 He starts to unbutton his shirt as he walks towards you. The bulge in his pants was straining, begging to break free.
 “Please daddy.”
 “Alright kitten. Daddy will take care of you.” He pulls your legs to the edge of the bed and wraps his mouth around your clit.
 “Ahhh. Daddy!”
 He slurps against your cunt as you grind into his face.
 “Oh god yes daddy! Please. Please. Don’t stop.”
 He pulls his mouth away and sinks his thick middle finger into your core. “My good girl. You make the prettiest sounds for daddy.”
 You pant and moan as he adds another finger and massages your clit with his thumb. “Feels so good. Please daddy. Can I come? Please say yes. I promise I’m a good girl. I’ll be good daddy.”
 “Go ahead princess. Daddy gives you permission. Come on daddy’s fingers now baby.” He encourages.
 Just like that you exploded. Squirting your juices all over him, crying out loudly as your ride that wave.
 “Good girl. So beautiful. So perfect when you come.” He whispers as you come down.
 “Oh fuck daddy.” You breathe out. “That was...Perfect.”
 “I’ll give you a few minutes to rest princess. You’re going to be in for a long night with daddy.”
 “Hmm I can’t imagine a better way to spend my evening.”
 He smiles and leans in to kiss you. “I love you Princess.”
 “I love you too, daddy.”

From the creators of “Lydia found out she can upload pictures and gifs into your ask box” here comes “Lydia found out she can submit text and stop spamming you with so many asks”.
Because, my love, get ready, this is really something. And I’m sending it today because I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, I’ll work half day and then I’ll go get new glasses because your girl is going blind and annoyed.
Please just answer this whenever you want, no pressure, this is.. a lot. I’m sorry in advance.
First of all, my data finished because of tete’s vlive, I didn’t noticed they were on instead of my wifi, I felt so stupid lol, but girl DID YOU SEE, is it me or does he looks more mature and holy shit so sexy ?????? what the fuck Taehyung, I’m actually asking, what the fuck? I want to know what is up with the fuck.
In other news, Jin and poopsie are moving in together. I’m in love and I’m totally Peaches chasing down that cup to put it in the trash. I do that, does Peaches also slow down when a pigeon is walking in front of her? bc I do that, they just don’t care and I’m like ok fine pigeon go ahead, they’re funny lol- but that was just lovely, I can’t stop thinking about how GOOD tae looks, although I laughed bc if there’s something my mom hates is when anyone makes noises while eating and Tae is the master of it. I kid you not, my mom wants to slap me and gets SO angry when I do it (I do it just to mess with her lol) but yeah, I’ve shown her videos of tae eating like that and she’s like NO, GOD NO! it’s so funny! because she loves him and doesn’t want to see him doing that, I think he looks adorable and maybe I would slap him too but hey, he enjoys food. He a baby. Must protect.
And in other/other news, you killed me with hobi/petal because I started writing this right before you post that and now I’m just adding it in here: you killed me because, I was just starting to go about those pandemic and awful year topic, I was reading it in the bathroom and I almost cry, my precious babies!! T_T and OH! how much I want to go for a walk! I need it, yesterday I walked a little, but didn’t enjoy it, we were just getting lost looking for the pizza place.
But srsly, walking is so good ??, months ago I could feel my anxiety burning my soul, it was awful and one morning on my way to work we always saw people exercising and stuff and I realized all I wanted to do was RUN. so we started going for walks in the afternoon after I got off work (we stopped for a while bc A LOT OF SHIT HAPPENED) but that first day I walked like no one else lol, I could feel my thighs crying but hell I wasn’t stopping, and I just felt so so so so much better! it was amazing.
Well, there ya go, a health tip: go for walks, if you have a dog I think it’s better, I saw so many dogs I was thriving lol. Now my knees are killing me because they do nothing but sit all day.
But yeah, as I was saying: Liv, I’ve missed you, and I would love to say that it was because I’ve been busy or doing something fruitful BUT NO, I’ve been like a zombie these past 2 weeks because I’ve slept till late some nights and everything’s weird, christmas was fun but also weird, my cousin couldn’t be home bc covid and it’s just weird, then I couldn’t see my bf till yesterday bc he was sick (not covid), and I don’t know, it’s like everything is fine but it still feels weird, you know? Petal says this shitty year is coming to an end but damn if I enjoyed the fact that I found Bts, I don’t remember what it was like before and I don’t care.
I’m so grateful, I was a big one direction fan, but I can’t compare, you know? I was younger, I was in school, I was a different person. And now, I’m still young *cough*, but I’m not in school, I have a job and I’m different, and in a lot of moments when I need it, BTS say “hey, love yourself!” every chance they get! and even if there are a lot more moments when I think “I can’t, nope, not now” I probably don’t love myself like I should, but I can say that I WANT TO, and I never make new year’s resolutions, I don’t want it to be a “I’ll do it next year” thing, but maybe I’ll take that will and aspire for something. This year Covid was the least of my problems, family, friendships and relationships have been fucking HARD and I am freaking scared, not gonna lie, there are a lot of things I have to think about, to decide and act on. But I’m also grateful I have other friendships that I got to renew and helped me keep going. So so grateful.
And I’m so grateful for you, I’m happy I found you because believe me when I say you helped a lot too. Just the thought that I can come here and express whatever thing, whatever novel I write for you: from how sexy I think Hobi is - to also have the trust and talk about anything else, even when we don’t really know each other, I don’t expect to get anything back from you but I get so much and it’s refreshing so THANK YOU for that.
I got a little cheesy, I want to cry. But I mean it. I appreciate the hell out of you and your existence. This is me, I can start by saying Hey Tae’s so sexy and finish with I love you, Liv. I wish you forever happiness.
Happy new year, queen!! 🍾
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here’s a picture of my Christmas tree last night with it’s new lights because the ones I bought last year failed on me and I was so angry I went to amazon and bought these for 25 dlls! - And a picture of my cat (her name is Spinelli) from last christmas, because well… I thought the world should see her, she cute.
(I promise I won’t do this often, I’ll send normal asks. I just thought it would be easier lol)
Stay safe ♥
Tumblr media
Hello my lovely Lydia!! I’m cackling about what you said about Tae because those are my constant thoughts lmao. Like how in the fuck is this man so sexy??? And he has that intensity about him just my fucking god Kim Taehyung. The man you are today, sir. I am quite literally in love with him. Also I’m giggling at your mom’s reaction to how he eats- I can definitely see how it would annoy some people haha. I adore the way he eats, the pout :(( he looks so pure when he’s eating I just wanna kiss his cheeks lol. 
Yay for Jin and Poopsie!!! And honestly, Peaches is so relatable for the quirky little things she does and how embarrassed she gets for doing them lol. She probably would stop for pigeons- also that’s adorable, you’re cute. 
I’m glad you discovered that walking makes you feel good and healthy!! It definitely does, I need to start working out more in general. I used to be really consistent but ugh this pandemic has killed all motivation for fitness haha. 
I’ve missed you too!! I definitely understand the zombie-like state, with the end of the year along with a pandemic and then just regular day to day life, it’s a miracle any of us are functioning these days. And exactly, even though it was a shitty year, I hope there’s something we can all be thankful for or look back at as a positive. Find those dang silver linings!! Mine would be that I got more in touch with myself again. I think I’m finally on track for being enough for myself and being my own source of strength and happiness and that was my goal for this year. So even though this year fucked us all up quite a bit, at least I have that. And of course, always thankful to bts lol. I can’t believe I’ve been a fan for three years now, how fucking crazy is that?! 
I’m sorry this year was tough on you beyond COVID, I’m wishing for better times for you in the new year. You absolutely deserve to love yourself and I hope you get to the point where that can be true. But honestly, wanting to do so is fucking fabulous. Keep going, Lyd! 
Lastly!! I’m so so so grateful that you found my blog and actually sent me asks, like oh my god I love seeing you pop up in my notifications and inbox. It makes me so happy. You’re an amazing person, my love, and I’m very thankful to know you. Thank you for not only supporting my work but for being an absolute gem to talk to!! I adore you <3 thank you for your friendship, even if just on this silly app. I hope you’re happy this year and beyond! 
p.s. your tree is so pretty and YOUR CAT IS THE CUTEST LITTLE FLUFF BALL I LOVE HER!!! Give sweet lil Spinelli a cuddle for me <3

These feelings I got/Lucas’ season
previous part / all parts together on ao3
Enjoy it ppl <3. 
Friday 22:47
Lucas looked at the sketch on his graphic tablet. A few months ago, he started to be interested in interior design and architecture after a random youtube documentation about Alex Vervoordt had popped up in his recommendations and since then he knew exactly what he wanted to do in his future and a ton of sketches was piling up in his room and the storage of his tablet was filling up faster than he wanted it to. Todays sketch was basically the interior of the little grocery store he had visited on Tuesday and Lucas had gotten completely lost in it. With the soft beats from one of his favourite albums playing in the back, he had lost the feeling of time. 
The screen of  his phone lit up and he could see a message from Kes and little blue instagram icon. Confused, he raised one eyebrow and unlocked his phone.  Why would someone write him on instagram on a Friday night?
Sterkerdanijzer has sent sent you a message. The notification was already three hours old and Lucas was surprised by himself. Did time really pass by that fast? He usually didn’t get that lost in something. With curiosity, he opened Robbes message. 
Hey, so I talked to my friends and we are meeting up on Monday to just chill and skate and they would be okay if you want join us.
Lucas face turned into a smile and his fingers were flying over the keys of his phone. 
That sounds pretty chill, where are you guys meeting up?
Since he had finished his sketch, he started clicking through the insta stories of his friend. Kes and Jayden both had posted video from party and Lucas. couldn’t help but feel left out. He recognised the flat share in the background and all of his dutch friends seemed to be at the party. The story Kes uploaded showed him and Jayden sitting the kitchen counter, sharing a joint with a girl with short brown curls. Jaydens story showed Liv singing. Lucas tapped on the message had sent him and a shaky image of Jayden kissing the girl with brown curls and a u are missing popped up on the screen. 
Lucas swallowed down the bitter feeling that was creeping up his throat. His friends seemed like they were having fun without him, it didn’t even seem like they were really missing him. Inside of Lucas, something was telling him that it just seemed like that and that Kes text about missing him was true, but Lucas just felt so left out and lonely right now, seeing his friends continue living and having fun while he was laying on his bed, drawing. On a Friday evening. What was he doing? What were his friends doing? Was he so unimportant that they would just continue on partying without him? 
He turned onto his stomach, trying to get those thoughts out of his head. He knew that there was no reason thinking like this. It was okay to be alone, even if all his friends were getting wasted and stoned right now. And it was okay feeling awkward seeing his friends without him. But why was it so hard accepting this then? 
He went back on his instagram, knowing he would regret it, but he was curious and wanted check out what the Belgians were doing. He saw that Robbe had posted a new story, which he opened immediately. Robbe seemed to be at a party too, Lucas guessed it was the farewell party for that Jana-girl they were talking about it on Monday. Lucas could see Noor in the short video, she seemed extremely happy dancing with Britt and holding a bottle of white wine in her left hand. Britts eyes ware fixed on a peroxide blonde boy that was talking with Robbe behind the phone, which Lucas. recognised as Sander, the boy that almost had hit him with the skateboard on Sunday. Behind these three teenagers, Lucas could see him. Again, as the image of him was following him, not letting him not think about him or the way they looked at each other yesterday. Lucas stared at his phone and what he saw made his stomach turn, like someone has pressed all hope out of it. 
Jens and the girl from yesterday morning were sitting next to each other, she was leaning over his shoulder, almost sitting on his lap and was doing something on the boys phone. Their faces were close, she was saying. something to him and it seemed like their lips were about to touch. 
Lucas wouldn’t even question it, the two were dating. What  had he. expected. anyways?  That the first guy that was his type would be gay and fall for. him immediately?He knew that that was not the way things worked.  
He turned off the screen of his phone, and with a dull sound, it dropped down on the floor.  Frustrated, not knowing what was going on in his mind, he buried his head in the white pillow he was laying on, trying to think of something different than the boy and his friends in the Netherlands.

Come Home
Sonny Carisi x Reader
Tumblr media
Summary: You and Sonny deal with the aftermath of his near death experience.
Word Count: 1,691
Part 3
The rustling of drawers slowly wakes you up from your sleep. You turn around to see Sonny was not in bed with you but he was by the mirror buttoning up his shirt. Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion and you cast a glance at his alarm clock by his bed, it was 8am. 
“Sonny, baby, what are you doing?” You ask as you sit up further on the bed. 
He turns his head realizing you were up, he looks at you a little confused. His eyes were red as hell still and the bags under them were more puffier than usual. 
“I go in at nine, it’s Wednesday.” He says it like I should I already know, which I do, what I don’t understand is why he would be going into work today. I quickly get out of bed.
“Aren’t you taking the day off?” You ask him as he picks a tie from his top drawer and starts to tie it. 
“No, why would I?” That question doesn’t sit right with you.
“Because you almost… because of yesterday.” You can’t bring yourself to say it. He raises a brow.
“I’m fine, babe. I need to be evaluated anyways and write my report.” His tone doesn’t waver, and you would have believed him if his eyes didn’t give him away and if you didn’t already know him so well.
“Can’t you do that another day, maybe tomorrow?” You move closer to him. Even tomorrow was a stretch. You weren’t well educated on what exactly the protocols were with near death experiences as a cop but you did know Olivia and the squad, things like these were handled delicately and differently than other precincts. 
“No, I should really be going in. There’s no need for me to miss work.” He finishes tying his tie and grabs a jacket from the closet. An anger forms at his words.
“No need? Sonny, you were held at gunpoint. You shouldn’t be going to work so soon.” You share your worry. He slides on his jacket and faces you.
“Doll, come on, stop. Everything’s fine, I’m fine.” He grabs your hand in his. He can act like he’s fine but his eyes still show the same fear he had yesterday walking out of that house. 
“You’re not fine, Sonny. I’m sure Liv will understand if—”
“Understand what? That I can’t handle myself after doing my damn job?” He’s angry now and you sigh.
“That’s not what is happening and you know—”
“I’m gonna be late.” He cuts you off as he looks to the clock. 
“Sonny—” You try again but he practically ignores you as he picks up his wallet and keys. 
“I gotta go.” Is all he says before you’re following him to the front door and he leaves. Leaves without saying I love you. Your heart restricts and it's like the dam that was threatening to break from last night finally had enough. Your sobs were the only sound throughout his apartment. You curled up on the same couch you were both on last night and cried, cried for what seemed like forever. You cried remembering him walking out that house, you cried remembering him telling you what happened, you cried remembering how he broke down last night. You almost lost him, you almost lost the love of your life, the man you saw yourself marrying, the man you could see yourself grow old with. You almost lost him. That mantra you kept repeating ever since yesterday—It’s okay, he’s here, went out the window. It was a few hours later after you had cried yourself into a nap that you realized what you wanted to do. You pondered over it for awhile but ultimately decided that after seeing Sonny in that state last night, you knew you needed to do something because he wasn’t okay. 
When you get to the precinct, it wasn’t bustling like it usually was. It must have been a slow day. You already knew Sonny was at lunch with Amanda thanks to asking Fin if he was there. 
“Hey.” When Fin sees you he pulls you into a hug. 
“Hey, Fin.” You say.
“What’re you doing here? I already told you Carisi’s taking lunch.” He explains.
“I’m here to see Liv actually.” You tell him. He looks confused but he doesn’t comment on it. 
“She’s in her office, just knock.” He motions to her door and then says, “you good?” You went home to change after leaving Sonny’s apartment, you weren’t dressed up by any means, just a pair of jeans and a sweater but you could imagine your eyes were still a giveaway even after makeup.
“Yeah, I’m fine.” You lie just as Sonny did. He just nods slowly, not believing you but he motions to her door again and you give a nod before walking over to her office. You can see her inside but you knock. She looks up and sees you through the blinds. She gets up and opens the door. 
“Hey, come in.” She looks a bit confused but smiles nonetheless and then closes the door behind you. 
“I hope I’m not interrupting anything, I just wanted to talk to you for a minute.” You suddenly feel bad, she’s a damn lieutenant, she was probably busy. 
“No, not at all. Is everything okay?” She asks as she takes a seat in her chair and motions for you to sit, you comply. 
“I don’t think so.” You bite your lip not sure how to start the conversation. When you and Sonny first started dating, you were introduced to the squad pretty quick, Sonny had expressed that he always waited awhile but it felt different with you. You quickly grew close to his coworkers and considered them friends, even Liv. She was nothing but kind to you and you had been out a few times with her and Amanda, so talking to her came naturally but you didn’t know how to broach this subject, she was still Sonny’s boss after all.
“What’s wrong?” She asks, worry taking over.
“It’s Sonny.” 
“Yesterday was… rough. It was bad, Liv. He wasn’t okay when we left and I don’t know… and this morning he got up to come into work like it was nothing. Don’t you guys get a few days after things like that? I mean you were in that house too. I’m just worried about him, he’s still not fine and should he even be working right now?” I bite my lip. I didn’t know how to explain how messed up Sonny really was. He probably walked in here this morning putting up a front. 
“I completely understand if I’m overreacting or overstepping, I just…” You sigh hoping she’s not angry or upset at you.
“Hey, no. Your concerns are valid, I… didn’t know he was still shaken up. I was actually surprised he came in this morning too but he didn’t say anything.” She sighs and takes off her glasses.
“I was terrified when Fin called me to let me know you guys were in that house but it was even more terrifying seeing Sonny like that and then for him to just act like nothing happened this morning…“ You shake your head. 
“I’m sorry if this is—”
“Don’t apologize. I’m glad you came to me, I care about Carisi and I want to know what is going on with my squad.” Her words comfort you.
You feel your phone vibrate and you spare a glance down to read the message from Fin.
I don’t know what’s going on but just a head’s up, Carisi’s on his way back.
Of course Fin knew something was up and bless him for texting you. Were you trying to hide this? You didn’t know for sure. 
“I should get going… I just wanted to make sure you knew what was going on.” You explain to Liv and she smiles sadly before standing up and coming over to your side to pull you into a tight hug.
“Hey, I know you love him. We all do, you have my word I’ll make sure he’s okay.” She says to you and you nod and squeeze her back.
“And thank you, Liv. For… for being there at the right time.” You want to cry as you say those words knowing if she was probably a second or two late, Sonny wouldn’t be here right now. 
“I’m glad you’re okay.” You add, hoping she knows you were extremely worried for her too. She smiles and rubs your shoulder.
“And I’m glad Sonny has you.” Is all she says before you walk out. Fin walks up to you and walks with you to the elevator. 
“Everything good?” He asks. 
“Hopefully, thanks for the text by the way. Sonny doesn’t know I’m here and I just needed to see Liv.” You tell him as he steps in the elevator with you.
“I figured. You know you can talk to me.” He says, which makes you smile.
“I know. Thanks, Fin and thanks for calling me yesterday.” For him to think of you in that situation meant a lot. 
“No worries, knew once your boy got out of that house he’d want to see you.” He explains as the elevator opens to the bottom floor. 
“I appreciate it.” Is all you say before you both say your goodbyes and you head back to Sonny’s place.
You both had keys to each others places. Both of you had been wanting to take the next step and move in together but the timing was never right with you two constantly busy with work. You’d also have to set out time to go look at places and then have to set out time to move both of your belongings into the new place, it was just a lot to do within your tight work schedules. You knew neither of you wanted to move into yours or his place, both of you agreeing a while ago that you wanted a new place that was yours together. But you each had clothes and toothbrushes at one another's place and it seemed to work for now.

the history of us [drake x camille] [part eleven: 23rd august- hurt]
Tumblr media
Part Ten if you want to catch up.
Warnings: Alcohol abuse. 
There will probably be 2/3 more chapters of this series left- thank you to to everyone who’s read and enjoyed, despite the angst. 
@jovialyouthmusic @sirbeepsalot @fromthedeskofpaisleybleakmore @dcbbw @pug-bitch @emceesynonymroll @of-course-i-went-to-hartfeld @rainbowsinthestorm @stopforamoment @notoriouscs @burnsoslow @i-bloody-love-drake-walker @gardeningourmet @symonde @carabeth @iplaydrake @drakesensworld @mrsnazariowalker @moonlightgem7
                                            *******************************
Drake dialled Camille's mobile. He hoped she would answer, he needed her to.
She answered on the fifth ring.
'Hey, Drake.' She sounded exhausted.
'You never told me you went to Liam,' Drake said, his voice thick. There was a silence.
'Camille?'
'You've reached that part of the diary then,' she said quietly. 'So you're nearly finished.'
'Why didn't you tell me?'
Camille sighed. 'You had checked out, Drake. Anytime I talked to you, you would just forget. There wasn't any point. I wanted to but you wouldn't remember our conversations the next day.'
Drake closed his eyes. How had he managed to become this far gone?
'I'm sorry,' he choked out. 'I'm so sorry. I've treated you and Lily like shit. You tried so hard to keep it all together and I kept throwing it in your face. I'm a shit husband and shit dad who doesn't deserve you. If you want to divorce me, go ahead, I won't blame you. It would kill me but I wouldn’t blame you.’
Camille's voice was small when she spoke. She sounded like Lily. 'You're not a shit husband or shit dad, Drake. Haven't you been reading my diary?'
'I shouted at her when all she was doing was dancing,' Drake said bitterly.
'You also taught her about constellations and showed her how amazing the 4th July is. You took her to a film premiere where she met her dream boyfriend. You play with her and you focus on her,' Camille replied, her voice gathering strength. 'You are her favourite person.'
'She doesn't want to see me,' Drake said. ‘Whatever I’ve done has made her not want to see me, so I’m not her favourite person anymore.’
Camille went quiet. Drake listened and could hear her breath hitching. 'Camille?'
'Y-yeah?'
She was trying not to cry, he could tell.
'Baby..' he murmured. He regretted calling her. He had made it worse. All he did was hurt her. 
'I'm okay,' she whispered. She wasn't. Drake knew everything about her. He had memorised everything about this woman he adored.
He knew that she would be focusing on a light as a way to keep tears at bay. He knew she would be digging her fingers into her palm as a way to distract herself, to feel something different. Her knees would be pulled up to her chest and she would look so fragile, like fine china. 
'Look,' he sighed. ‘I guess I just want to say that I'm reading your diary and although it's fucking painful, I'm reading it. I want to save us. You and Lily are the only things that matter to me and I'll be damned if I lose you both. I can't lose you, Camille. Okay? '
She sniffled. 'Okay.'
'I love you,' he said. There was a silence and then she spoke so quietly, he had to strain to hear her.
'I love you too.'
                            *****************************************************
23rd August 2023
Lily has made it her mission to help Drake feel better. She's become his little shadow, refusing to leave his side. She lies beside him when he's on the bed looking at nothing, she cuddles him, she talks to him about her day.
She somehow managed to get him to join her in the living room today. He wasn't drunk which was a relief. Her being with him constantly means he can't drink.
They sat down on the floor in front of the fire and Lily curled up into his chest, clutching her book. She's starting to get the hang of reading and we encourage her to read often so she has a head start before starting school next year. She started to read aloud and I watched them together. It was like old times. He spun a lock of her hair around his finger as she read, haltingly and so slowly. Drake was so patient with her, helping her pronounce words she struggled with.
For a moment, I forgot he was in a dark place and I just listened to them being a daddy and daughter again.
      **************************************************************************
Lily ran her finger underneath the words as she read, concentrating so hard on not losing her place. She wanted to make Drake feel better and whenever she felt sad, she would pick this book. She loved the pictures and the story, even though the words were annoying. Camille and Drake had given her The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark as a present to help Lily feel better about her own fear of darkness; it had become one of her favourites.
‘Plop is a baby barn owl,’ she read slowly. ‘He is fat and... fluffy.  He has big... round.. eyyy..eyes.’ 
Drake twirled a lock of her hair around his finger, listening to his daughter read aloud to him. His eyes were heavy; his head was sore but he hadn’t been drinking today. He had drank yesterday in his study but today, Lily had been clingy with him so he hadn’t had a sip. 
‘He is.. perf.. perf..’
Drake smiled and gently whispered, ‘perfect.’
Lily grinned. ‘Perfect in every way ex...’
Drake leaned over and whispered in her ear, ‘except.’
‘Except for just one thing!’ Lily said confidently.
Lily turned the page. ‘Daddy, can you read the rest? I’m not so good at this bit.’
Drake pulled her onto his lap and she settled against his chest. The book was slightly more advanced than her current reading ability. Camille read her the book before bedtime, doing the voices and making it into a performance. 
Drake turned to see that Camille was watching them. She was curled up on the sofa, writing in a notebook, and she was smiling. Drake smiled at her and she gave him a thumbs up, before going back to writing. 
He took a breath and began to read the story to Lily.  ‘Plop was afraid of the dark,’ he began. He then adopted a feminine voice. ‘You can’t be afraid of the dark,’ said his mummy. ‘Owls are never afraid of the dark.’ 
Lily giggled. She knew the story by heart. Drake continued. ‘This one is,’ Plop said.’ 
He looked down at Lily with his eyes wide, a look of mock horror on his face. ‘But owls are night birds,’ she said.’
Lily grinned up at her father, revelling in his acting. 
‘Plop looked down at his toes,’ Drake said seriously. He then put on a sad voice. ‘I don’t want to be a night bird,’ he mumbled.’
He continued to read aloud and Lily snuggled into him further, enjoying having him to herself. She had missed him. 
      *******************************************************************************
Drake looked through more photos. He was close to finishing the notebook now and he wanted to see the photographs in the box.  Camille had collected so many but he had his favourites. 
There was the wedding photo where he was dipping Camille to the floor and kissing her while everyone around them cheered. 
There was the one of Drake holding a newborn Lily at the hospital. He looked exhausted, excited and terrified all at once. 
There was the one with Drake and Camille sitting by the lake in Texas, their feet in the water. It had been taken before Lily was born; Camille had a baby bump and she was glowing. 
A life captured in images. Moments frozen in time, never fading, never being forgotten. 
Sighing, he went back to the diary. 
   ***********************************************************************************
26th August 2023
Olivia and Leo came over today. As much as I love them, I wish they hadn’t. I know Olivia meant it in a loving way; she is a tough love kind of person. She just doesn’t want to see us struggling. Olivia may have a cold exterior but inside, she is one of the most emotional people I know. She and Drake have more in common than she realises. 
‘Aunt Olivia!’ Lily shrieked, bounding up to Olivia. Olivia smiled. ‘Hey, babe.’
Lily turned to Leo, looking up at him with a wide smile on her face. ‘Hi Uncle Leo!’
Leo bent down to pick her up. He settled her on his hip. ‘Hey pretty thing,’ he greeted her. ‘Is that a cookie you got there?’
He touched the cookie in her hand. Lily nodded. ‘Me and mommy baked this morning.’ 
‘Can your favourite uncle have a bite?’ he asked, giving her a mischevious smile. Lily held out the cookie and Leo took a bite.
‘Delicious!’ he hollered, bits of cookie spraying out of his mouth. ‘Best cookie I’ve ever had in my life!’
Lily giggled and took a bite of it herself. Leo set her down and she skipped off to help herself to more cookies. 
Camille took their coats and hung them up, before leading them to the living room. Drake wasn’t there; he was in his study, which was probably a good thing as his friends were here to discuss him. 
‘How is he?’ Leo asked softly. 
Camille bit her lip. ‘Well, he didn’t drink the entire time Lily was with him,’ she told him. ‘But as soon as she thought he was better, he started up again.’ 
‘How much is he drinking?’ Olivia asked bluntly. She was leaning against the fireplace, her hand on her leather clad hip. 
‘I don’t know. He shuts himself in his study and when I see him, he’s long gone.’ 
‘Lily doesn’t know?’ Leo asked. 
‘No. She just thinks he’s unwell, which is what I told her. But he shouted at her a few weeks ago for playing her music too loudly.’
‘Bastard,’ Olivia muttered. 
Camille’s eyes flashed. ‘Liv, that’s my husband you’re talking about.’
‘Camille, I’m sorry, but he’s taking it out on my goddaughter,’ Olivia said sharply. ‘That’s wrong on so many levels. What if it gets worse? What if he shouts more? What if he upsets her?’
‘Liv, please,’ Camille said, her voice cracking. ‘I’ve already thought about this. Trust me.’ 
Leo sighed. ‘Camille, we’re here for you. We don’t want you suffering in silence. If you need to talk, we’re here. If you need us to watch Lily, we will. I’m sure she’d love us to baby sit again after Olivia painted her nails and I ordered pizza.’
Olivia rolled her eyes. ‘Ugh, carbs.’
Camille wrung her hands together. ‘I want him to get help but he says he isn’t an alcoholic. He won’t admit he has a problem but then he’ll get upset and start saying sorry. It’s like a tug of war. It’s exhausting.’ 
Olivia saw Camille’s eyes glint with tears. She felt fire stir in her heart. Over the years, their friendship had become deeper and Olivia now counted Camille as her best friend, though she wouldn’t admit that. 
‘I’m just going to the bathroom,’ she said. Stalking away from the fireplace, she left Camille and Leo talking in hushed voices and she made her way down the hall towards Drake’s study.  She walked with purpose, the fire burning in her heart. 
**********************************************************************************
Olivia knocked on the study door. ‘Drake? Let me in.’
‘Liv?’
Olivia heard a glass be put down haphazardly and stumbling. She braced herself. The door opened and she came face to face with Drake. 
‘Well, you look like microwaved shit,’ she said. Drake glared at her. ‘Thanks.’
She pushed past him and strode into the study. It stank of whiskey. Her blue eyes cast around the room and she took in the half drunk bottle of whiskey on his desk. 
‘What are you doing in here?’ she asked. 
‘Working.’
Olivia looked at the computer. Its screen was black. ‘I can see that.’
Drake sighed. ‘Liv, why are you here? Go talk to Camille.’
‘Leo’s talking to her. I’m here to talk to you.’
‘I’m not good company right now,’ he told her. He sat down on his chair and looked at her. His eyes were so bloodshot. Beads of sweat covered his forehead. Olivia crossed her arms. 
‘You’re in your study, away from your family. Is this how you plan to spend the rest of your life? Holed up in a room, drinking yourself to death?’
Drake blinked. ‘Excuse me?’
‘You’re drinking yourself to death,’ she repeated. ‘Have you even had any water these past few weeks?’ 
‘Shut up,’ he muttered. 
‘Drake, you’re fucking killing yourself.’ 
‘Liv, you’re not my wife. Stop telling me what to do.’
‘Ha!’ Olivia scoffed, sarcasm dripping in her voice. ‘From what I’ve heard, even your own wife can’t do that. She’s asked you to get help and what do you do? You drink more. Husband of the Year Award coming right up-’
‘Olivia,’ Drake cut in, his voice sharp like razors. ‘You don’t know what you’re talking about.’ 
‘I just want you to consider getting help,’ she told him. ‘Do it for you. Do it for your family. We all want you to be happy and healthy.’
‘I’m working on it,’ he said.
Olivia stared at him. ‘Jesus, it’s like talking to a brick wall.’
‘Just shut up!’ he burst out. ‘Why are you even in here?’
‘You’re my friend!’ she argued. ‘I’m here to help you!’
‘By making me feel bad? Really? Get in line.’
‘Oh, save the fucking pity party, Walker,’ Olivia spat. ‘You’ve got an incredible wife who loves you. You’ve got a beautiful little girl who worships you. You are ruining your life! You are hurting those closest to you and you don’t give a shit!  Do you want Camille to leave? Because keep pushing it and she will.’ 
Drake bolted out of his chair and pointed at her. His eyes were wild. Olivia stood her ground, clenching her fists. ‘You know fuck all about my marriage,’ Drake whispered fiercely. ‘You do not speak for Camille. You are not the expert of my life. You know nothing.’
Olivia’s eyes narrowed. ‘No, Drake. You know nothing.’ 
She turned and stormed out of the study, slamming the door. Drake sank back down on his chair and took another gulp of whiskey. It burned his throat. He knew he was hurting himself. He didn’t care. He closed his eyes and clenched the edge of the desk. 
   *************************************************************************************
Camille and Leo looked up when Olivia stormed into the living room, her heels pounding against the wooden floor. Camille’s eyes widened when she saw Olivia was shaking. 
‘Liv? You okay?’
Olivia looked up at the ceiling then back at her friend. ‘I’m fine.’
Camille stared at her. ‘You talked to Drake, didn’t you?’
‘I shouldn’t have.’ 
Olivia and Leo left shortly after. Olivia was uncharacteristically quiet as Leo guided her out of the manor. He turned to squeeze Camille’s hand. ‘If you need us at any time, call.’ 
Camille sighed and looked down the hallway. The study door was closed. It was always closed. She walked down the hallway and keeping her head high, she passed Drake’s study and went into the kitchen where Lily was helping herself to another cookie. 
‘Mommy, these are delicious!’ she said, copying what Leo had said. Camille plastered an artificial smile on her face.
‘Then let’s make more!’
*****************************************************************************************
Drake closed his eyes. He remembered a little about his fight with Olivia, although not much. Knowing her, she was trying to help in her own Olivia way. That was another relationship he would have to repair then, it seemed. Great. 
He turned the page and swallowed, fear suddenly rising in his stomach. 
There were two pages left.

this is a little something I started writing after yesterday’s ep (and only finished now cos i’m the worst procrastinator on the planet) - a sort of continuation/ any excuse for soft robron with seb.
“Hey how was everything with your mum?” Robert asked when the door opened and Aaron walked into the house.
“I don’t know. Alright I suppose.”
“You don’t know?”
Aaron sighed.
“I think she’s worried about something but she insists everything is fine.”
“Well then maybe everything is fine?” Robert suggested “or maybe her and Paddy want to deal with it themselves first before they tell everyone?” he added when he saw the look on his husband’s face. “I mean, if there was something wrong with Seb I’d want to deal with it with you before we’d tell anyone else.”
Aaron gave him a small smile before grabbing a beer from the fridge and leaning against the kitchen counter next to where Robert was cooking as he opened it.
“Yeah I suppose you’re right. Where’s Seb? Asleep?”
“Hopefully. He was getting all grumpy so I put him down for a nap while I did some laundry. Haven’t heard anything yet.” Robert replied, holding up the baby monitor.
It was as if Seb sensed them talking about him, as he chose that exact moment to start fussing. The two men held their breath for a moment, hoping he’d settle down again but when that didn’t happen Aaron put his drink down and pushed himself off of the counter.
“I’ll get him.”
“You sure? He might need changing.”
“I have changed his nappy before, Robert. But just for that, I’ll bring him down if he needs changing.” Aaron said as he climbed the stairs and Robert laughed.
When he walked into Seb’s room, he saw the little boy wide awake in his bed.
“Hello mate.” He said as he picked Seb up and pressed a kiss to the top of his head. “I’ve got you. What’s wrong? If you need changing we’re going downstairs because that’s a job for your dad today.”
Seb looked at him like he knew exactly what Aaron was saying and smiled.
“Looks like you’re in the clear today, Rob.” Aaron said into the baby monitor after quickly smelling Seb’s nappy. “Did you just want a cuddle huh? You’re just like your dad, you know that?” He told Seb who was yanking on the collar of his shirt. “You don’t know this yet, but your dad is a bit of a soft lad. And he likes Adele.” Aaron said, pulling faces at Seb to make him laugh.
“Are you two making fun of me behind my back again?” Robert asked laughingly as he walked into the room.
“We would never, would we Seb?”
“I have proof. I heard you on the baby monitor.”
Aaron gasped at Seb who looked confused for a moment before he started laughing again.
“Your daddy was spying on us!”
“It’s not my fault you forgot about the baby monitor.” Robert said, walking over to them and wrapping his arms around them. “I still love both of you though.”
“We love you too.” Aaron replied, leaning in for a kiss, Seb protesting at getting smushed in between the two men.
Aaron bounced him up and down in his arms a bit to get him to smile again.
“You know...” he started and waited for Robert to tear his eyes away from Seb and look at him. “I was thinking... since he lives with us full time now... maybe we should decorate his room a bit. It’s not very kid friendly like this is it?” He looked around the room, Seb’s crib and clothes the only sign this was a kid’s room.
“You... want that?”
“Yeah... I saw Paddy decorating the nursery in the pub today and it just reminded me we don’t even have a proper nursery for Seb.”
Robert smiled and stroked Seb’s head.
“I don’t think he’s ever had a proper nursery.I think he slept in Rebecca’s room at Home Farm and his crib was in my room at Vic’s...”
“Well then he should have a proper room here.” 
“We could go into Hotten this week and pick out some paint and some other stuff for him.” Robert suggested.
“Sounds good. And Liv can help too. We’ll make it a family project.” Aaron said, turning to Seb. “You’re going to have the best room when we’re done, mate. We’ll get your auntie Liv to paint some rainbows on your walls.”
“Rainbows?”
“Yeah, of course, he can’t live in this house with this family and not have rainbows on his walls.”

WIAW
Hey hey! Happy Wednesday! Hope you’re enjoying the week so far. It’s been the usual busy schedule around here, but lots of time playing outside, teaching classes, and meeting up with friends. I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed yesterday’s workout! Please let me know if you end up giving it a try.
We don’t have anything too crazy going on for the rest of the week, but we’re debating a weekend trip to Orlando. We’ve got a lot coming up this summer, so we’re trying to finish off our passes (we always get the 5-day park hoppers!). I’m thinking we’ll probably go for it and will start packing up in the next day or so.  
For today, I thought I’d hop in and share a WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) post. I actually remembered to take pics of *almost* all of my eats yesterday, and they were a pretty standard mix. I ended up taking the day off from the gym because I had a doctor’s appointment in the am – which ended up being a fail. They were running 2+ hours late, so I ended up having to reschedule so I could pick up P- so I wasn’t quite as hangry as usual. 
7:15am: Decaf Four Sigmatic coffee with almond milk.. and Frida to wake up. It’s been 9 months since I’ve had regular coffee, and it’s made a significant reduction in my anxiety levels. (I order this one from Amazon or Thrive. And don’t worry, it doesn’t taste like mushrooms.) I chug coffee while I feed the girls breakfast and get everyone ready for school. 
10:30 After blitzing around the house doing chores (I throw in a load of laundry, wipe down counters, pick up, and run the vacuum) and catching up on a little work stuff, I make breakfast: 1 egg + 1 egg white, sautéed spinach, 2 Siete cassava and coconut tortillas, + Calm tea
11:00 Heading out for my doctor’s appointment. I bring these snacks to eat afterwards: a Perfect Bar (obsessed) and an apple
 2pm: I’m back home from picking up P and we play upstairs in the playroom for about an hour. We come back downstairs and I turn on a show for her, and heat up lunch: leftover vegan chili from the night before. (While it’s heating up, I have an embarrassingly enormous scoop of almond butter from the jar.)
I made this in the Instant Pot, and it was SO good and easy.
In the Instant Pot, I sautéed:
-1/2 sweet onion, chopped
-3 cloves minced garlic
-1 peeled and diced sweet potato
-1 zucchini
-1 red bell pepper
After all of the veggies were soft, I seasoned everything with salt and pepper, then added:
-1 teaspoon oregano
-1 tablespoon chili powder
-1/2 teaspoon cumin
-1 teaspoon smoked paprika
I stirred in one 14-oz can of drained fire-roasted tomatoes, 1 can (drained and rinsed) garbanzo beans, 1 can (drained and rinsed) kidney beans and about 2/3 carton of vegetable broth. Set it on the soup setting for 20 minutes and let it manually release! Serve with any toppings you love. My faves are lime juice and avocado.
When we had this for dinner, the girls and I made gluten-free cornbread muffins to go with it, and I also made some baby grassfed burger patties on the stovetop just in case they hated the soup. They ended up loving it!
We head out to pick up Liv, then come home to hang out outside. The girls play on their scooters and with their Power Wheels, while I fold laundry at the table (so I can see them) and then go outside with the iPad to answer emails while they play. 
5:30 Back home from Liv’s swim lesson, and I snack on these cassava chips while the girls color at the table. 
(that avocado salsa is SO GOOD. You can find it at Target! It has great ingredients and is amazing on eggs or with chips.)
6:30 Dinner: sushi roll in a bowl! This is one of our go-to dinners: baked salmon, rice (season with rice vinegar and sesame seeds), chopped cucumber, avocado, seaweed snacks. Top with soy sauce and/or sriracha and feast. 
11pm: I’ve been working for a couple of hours while the girls sleep, so I grab a glass of wine, a Samoa, and put on Shameless while I finish up the last bit of writing for the day. 
What was the best thing you ate yesterday? When you want a sweet bite at night, what do you usually go for? Please spam me with ALL your favorite Instant Pot meals, too, please!
Have a wonderful day and I’ll see ya soon.

-1 teaspoon smoked paprika
I stirred in one 14-oz can of drained fire-roasted tomatoes, 1 can (drained and rinsed) garbanzo beans, 1 can (drained and rinsed) kidney beans and about 2/3 carton of vegetable broth. Set it on the soup setting for 20 minutes and let it manually release! Serve with any toppings you love. My faves are lime juice and avocado.
When we had this for dinner, the girls and I made gluten-free cornbread muffins to go with it, and I also made some baby grassfed burger patties on the stovetop just in case they hated the soup. They ended up loving it!
We head out to pick up Liv, then come home to hang out outside. The girls play on their scooters and with their Power Wheels, while I fold laundry at the table (so I can see them) and then go outside with the iPad to answer emails while they play. 
5:30 Back home from Liv’s swim lesson, and I snack on these cassava chips while the girls color at the table. 
(that avocado salsa is SO GOOD. You can find it at Target! It has great ingredients and is amazing on eggs or with chips.)
6:30 Dinner: sushi roll in a bowl! This is one of our go-to dinners: baked salmon, rice (season with rice vinegar and sesame seeds), chopped cucumber, avocado, seaweed snacks. Top with soy sauce and/or sriracha and feast. 
11pm: I’ve been working for a couple of hours while the girls sleep, so I grab a glass of wine, a Samoa, and put on Shameless while I finish up the last bit of writing for the day. 
What was the best thing you ate yesterday? When you want a sweet bite at night, what do you usually go for? Please spam me with ALL your favorite Instant Pot meals, too, please!
Have a wonderful day and I’ll see ya soon.

WIAW
Hey hey! Happy Wednesday! Hope you’re enjoying the week so far. It’s been the usual busy schedule around here, but lots of time playing outside, teaching classes, and meeting up with friends. I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed yesterday’s workout! Please let me know if you end up giving it a try.
We don’t have anything too crazy going on for the rest of the week, but we’re debating a weekend trip to Orlando. We’ve got a lot coming up this summer, so we’re trying to finish off our passes (we always get the 5-day park hoppers!). I’m thinking we’ll probably go for it and will start packing up in the next day or so.  
For today, I thought I’d hop in and share a WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) post. I actually remembered to take pics of *almost* all of my eats yesterday, and they were a pretty standard mix. I ended up taking the day off from the gym because I had a doctor’s appointment in the am – which ended up being a fail. They were running 2+ hours late, so I ended up having to reschedule so I could pick up P- so I wasn’t quite as hangry as usual. 
7:15am: Decaf Four Sigmatic coffee with almond milk.. and Frida to wake up. It’s been 9 months since I’ve had regular coffee, and it’s made a significant reduction in my anxiety levels. (I order this one from Amazon or Thrive. And don’t worry, it doesn’t taste like mushrooms.) I chug coffee while I feed the girls breakfast and get everyone ready for school. 
10:30 After blitzing around the house doing chores (I throw in a load of laundry, wipe down counters, pick up, and run the vacuum) and catching up on a little work stuff, I make breakfast: 1 egg + 1 egg white, sautéed spinach, 2 Siete cassava and coconut tortillas, + Calm tea
11:00 Heading out for my doctor’s appointment. I bring these snacks to eat afterwards: a Perfect Bar (obsessed) and an apple
 2pm: I’m back home from picking up P and we play upstairs in the playroom for about an hour. We come back downstairs and I turn on a show for her, and heat up lunch: leftover vegan chili from the night before. (While it’s heating up, I have an embarrassingly enormous scoop of almond butter from the jar.)
I made this in the Instant Pot, and it was SO good and easy.
In the Instant Pot, I sautéed:
-1/2 sweet onion, chopped
-3 cloves minced garlic
-1 peeled and diced sweet potato
-1 zucchini
-1 red bell pepper
After all of the veggies were soft, I seasoned everything with salt and pepper, then added:
-1 teaspoon oregano
-1 tablespoon chili powder
-1/2 teaspoon cumin
-1 teaspoon smoked paprika
I stirred in one 14-oz can of drained fire-roasted tomatoes, 1 can (drained and rinsed) garbanzo beans, 1 can (drained and rinsed) kidney beans and about 2/3 carton of vegetable broth. Set it on the soup setting for 20 minutes and let it manually release! Serve with any toppings you love. My faves are lime juice and avocado.
When we had this for dinner, the girls and I made gluten-free cornbread muffins to go with it, and I also made some baby grassfed burger patties on the stovetop just in case they hated the soup. They ended up loving it!
