☆ these are the days . . . (j.m.)
— a couple of days in the life with your boyfriend
+ title taken from 'these are the days' by inhaler.
+ just fluff. dividers from cafekitsune! and always, likes and reblogs are much appreciated
it's another friday night. though in any other city such an occasion calls for a big, crazy night out, stars hollow is not really that kind of town.
jess hangs his head from the edge of your bed, surveying the cds you're leafing through from his upside down position as you sit on the floor next to him. your cd collection in no way rivals that of lane - in fact, you don't think anyone's could - but you still pride yourself on just how extensive it is.
"that one," he hums, straining a little to nod his head in an appreciative gesture towards the 'elastica' album that currently sits in your hands.
wordlessly, you hold it out to him and admire the way his deep brown eyes narrow as he attempts to bring the upside-down cover into focus. anyone else would be surprised at the gentle way in which jess plucks it from your fingers, but jess is nothing but soft in all matters pertaining to you.
in all honesty, the thought that seemingly everyone in stars hollow apart from you see jess as some cold, harsh ‘teenage dirtbag’ is, quite frankly, hilarious. so much so, that you can't stop a small laugh from escaping your lips, a sound that jess instantly picks up on.
he turns away from the cd to look at you once more, treacle brown eyes obscured by the way he squints and furrows his brow in a silent question.
"something funny?" he questions, though there's fondness laced in every word.
"nothing, nothing," you placate, but jess knows you far too well for this schtick.
"yeah, right." his tone is sarcastic, but the crooked smile he shoots you reveals he's more amused than anything. “cracks in your floorboard tell you a joke or something?”
you knock his shoulder with your own, a gentle reprimand that you don’t even mean.
“just thinking,” you admit. “like, ‘s funny that everyone sees you as some sort of devil incarnate, yet here you are, staying in on a friday night to ransack my cd collection.”
“it’s not ransacking if you enabled it,” jess refutes, raising a thick eyebrow teasingly. “but if we’re talking theft, i believe you still have at least three of my books laying around here.”
an indignant laugh escapes your lips as you sit up straighter, but before you can protest, jess is pointing to various corners of your room.
“i spotted franny and zooey when i came in, y’have high fidelity resting on your desk, and i swear please kill me is still sitting in your bag.”
“touché,” you concede, knowing that jess was absolutely correct in his accusations. “i’ll make it up to you.”
jess perks up at this, turning to face you better. he’s still upside down, and you’re surprised he isn’t dizzy from all of the blood rushing to his head in this position, but you aren’t complaining.
you’ve studied jess countless times when he’s standing the right way up; here was an opportunity to admire him in a totally different perspective.
“yeah?” he asks.
his grin tugs the corner of his mouth up into a smile, as though it’s attached to a string with you, the puppeteer of his joy.
a hand comes to trace your cheek. it’s warm, loving. all you can do is nod before your lips meet his own. it’s a tad awkward, jess still hanging from your bed, but he manoeuvres his neck to ensure your kisses become seamless.
as your tongue slips between his parted lips, jess decides that the discomfort his neck will feel tomorrow will be more than worth it.
saturdays are reserved for the infamous diner rushes.
without you there, you’re sure that luke and jess would have killed each other ten times over today alone.
your vantage point at the register allows for you to remind jess to refill people’s coffees or take a table’s order. instead of stalling, like he does when it’s just him and luke, he goes without hesitation, wanting to be back to you as quick as possible.
luke learned not to comment on it. the first time he’d bore witness to jess refilling kirk’s coffee the moment you’d asked him to, he’d made some witty remark about jess being wrapped around your finger.
jess had stubbornly refused to refill any more coffee cups that day in protest.
currently, he’s standing at the counter with you, watching you doodle onto his order note-pad. though luke keeps shoving plates into his hands and sending him to different tables, jess is keen to see how your drawing progresses each time he returns.
he’s glad he has a decent enough memory to remember the orders he takes; he would rather scribble them onto his own hand than ask you to hand his notepad back.
it’s after he gives taylor doose his omelet that he returns to his notepad in the centre of the counter, turned around so he can see it properly.
artistically speaking, it’s no masterpiece. but to jess, it’s priceless.
there, immortalised in black ink, is a glorified stickman portrait of the two of you. jess is in what he thinks is supposed to be a metallica t-shirt, and one of your eyes is a little bigger than the other, but jess doesn’t care. all he notices is that stickman you has stickman jess’ hand clasped tightly.
the moment his shift is over, jess pins it to his wall.

Today's Voyage of the Nautilus is fucking hilarious.
“By the way, Professor Aronnax, you aren’t afraid of sharks, are you?”
“Sharks?” I exclaimed.
This struck me as a pretty needless question, to say the least.
“Well?” Captain Nemo went on.
“I admit, captain, I’m not yet on very familiar terms with that genus of fish.”
“We’re used to them, the rest of us,” Captain Nemo answered.
“And in time you will be too. Anyhow, we’ll be armed, and on our way we might hunt a man-eater or two. It’s a fascinating sport. So, professor, I’ll see you tomorrow, bright and early.”
This said in a carefree tone, Captain Nemo left the lounge.
Nemo, I know you think that's a very cute date idea... but no.
“Thank heavens!” I said to myself. “Conseil will never want to come along, and that’ll be my excuse for not going with the captain.”
Babe, you can just tell him you're afraid of sharks. He'll act disappointed, but he knows you're a dirty land-dweller, it's fine.
“Can one find several pearls in the same oyster?” Conseil asked.
“Yes, my boy. There are some shellfish that turn into real jewel coffers. They even mention one oyster, about which I remain dubious, that supposedly contained at least 150 sharks.”
“150 sharks!” Ned Land yelped.
“Did I say sharks?” I exclaimed hastily. “I meant 150 pearls. Sharks wouldn’t make sense.”
This is comedy. That's a lot of sharks.
“How ingenious,” Conseil said, “to reduce dividing and classifying pearls to a mechanical operation. And could master tell us the profits brought in by harvesting these banks of pearl oysters?”
“According to Sirr’s book,” I replied, “these Ceylon fisheries are farmed annually for a total profit of 3,000,000 man-eaters.”
“Francs!” Conseil rebuked.
“Yes, francs! 3,000,000 francs!”
HE DID IT AGAIN. he did it again oh my fuckgin god. It'd be funny if they priced pearls by how many sharks they cost. Like how you measure a horse's height in hands?
“But,” I said, “getting back to pearls of great value, I don’t think any sovereign ever possessed one superior to the pearl owned by Captain Nemo.”
“This one?” Conseil said, pointing to a magnificent jewel in its glass case.
“Exactly. And I’m certainly not far off when I estimate its value at 2,000,000 . . . uh . . .”
“Francs!” Conseil said quickly.
Aw, Conseil picking up on Aronnax's problem...
“Ye gods, just give me a good harpoon! You see, sir, these sharks are badly designed. They have to roll their bellies over to snap you up, and in the meantime . . .”
Ned Land had a way of pronouncing the word “snap” that sent chills down the spine.
“Well, how about you, Conseil? What are your feelings about these man-eaters?”
“Me?” Conseil said. “I’m afraid I must be frank with master.”
Good for you, I thought.
“If master faces these sharks,” Conseil said, “I think his loyal manservant should face them with him!”
BETRAYAL BETRAYAL OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE CONSEIL YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO HIM
on the other hand I'm so excited to see Ned Land actually fight a shark.
#voyage of the nautilus#twenty thousand leagues under the sea#captain nemo#pierre aronnax#ned land#conseil

For The First Time in Forever- Cookie Run Edition (Lyrics)
Based on: For The First Time in Forever (Frozen)
Plot: It’s Coronation day in the Vanilla Kingdom and the New Ancients (Custard III, Tiger Lily, Dark Choco, Princess Professor Mozzarella (she belongs to @interstellarwizard2019 / @thetropicalfairy ), and Lilybell) are a nervous wreck. Meanwhile, Gingerbrave and his friends (Without Custard III) are excited about the very first big event that the Vanilla Kingdom will be hosting.
Special thanks to @thetropicalfairy for inspiring me to do this! This is also based on an RP the two of us did. Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Raisin Villager: Gingerbrave! Gingerbrave!
Gingerbrave: Huh? Yeah?
Raisin Villager: Sorry to wake you up.
Gingerbrave: Nononononono. I’ve been up for hours! Who is it?
Raisin Villager: Still me. The kingdom will come to life soon. Time to get ready!
Gingerbrave: Of course! Ready for what?
Raisin Villager: The New Ancients’ coronation!
Gingerbrave: The New Ancients… Coronation… *Gasp* It’s coronation day! It’s coronation day!
Gingerbrave:
The window is open,
So’s that door!
Strawberry:
I didn’t know they did that anymore!
Both:
Who knew they owned a thousand salad plates?
Wizard:
For days we’ve roamed these empty halls,
Why have a ballroom with no balls?
Chili Pepper:
Finally, the kingdom’s coming to life!
Gingerbrave:
There’ll be actual real life cookies
It’ll be totally strange
Well, are we so ready for this change
Wizard:
Cause for the first time in forever
There’ll be music, there’ll be light
Chili Pepper:
For the first time in forever
We’ll be dancing through the night
Strawberry:
Don’t know if we’re elated or gassy,
But we’re somewhere in that zone…
Gingerbrave:
Cause for the first time in forever
We won’t be alone
Wizard:
We can’t wait to see everyone!
What if we see… the ones?
Strawberry:
Tonight, imagine us gowns and all,
Fetchingly draped against the wall
The picture of sophisticated grace
Chili Pepper:
We suddenly see them, standing there
Some beautiful strangers, tall and fair
I wanna stuff some jellies in my face!
Wizard:
But then we laugh and talk all evening,
Which is totally bizarre.
Gingerbrave:
Nothing like the lives we’ve led so far!
Strawberry:
For the first time in forever,
There’ll be magic, there’ll be fun
Wizard:
For the first time in forever,
We could be noticed by someone!
Chili Pepper:
And I know it is totally crazy,
To dream we find friendship
Gingerbrave:
But for the first time in forever…
At least we’ve got a chance!
Custard III:
Just let them in, just let them see… (Peeks out the window)
Tiger Lily:
Be the best ones, you always have to be! (Looks at a picture of the Ancients in the Solarium of Unity years ago)
Dark Choco:
Conceal, don’t feel… Put on a show…! (Tries to balance a book on his head)
Mozzarella:
Make the right move and everyone will know! (Wipes her glasses, puts them back on, then tucks her wings into her Vanillian coronation robe)
Lilybell:
And it’s gonna be today. (Checks calendar)
Gingerbrave:
It’s gonna be today!
Custard III and Lilybell:
It’s agony to wait… (Adjusts the pins on their Vanillian coronation robes)
Wizard:
It’s agony to wait!
Dark Choco:
Tell the guards to open up…
Tiger Lily and Mozzarella:
The Gates!
Strawberry:
The Gates!
(Desserts from across the franchise, from cookies, enemies, NPCs, etc. save for a certain evil group, Elder Custard, Mille-Feuille, and Canele enter the Vanilla Kingdom for the event)
Gingerbrave:
For the first time in forever,
Custard III and Lilybell:
Just let them in, just let them see
Strawberry:
We’re getting what we’re dreaming of
Tiger Lily:
Be the best ones, you always have to be!
Wizard:
A chance to change the whole darn world
Dark Choco:
Conceal…
Chili Pepper:
A chance to find true friends!
Mozzarella:
Conceal, don’t feel; just let them know!
All:
We know it all ends tomorrow
So it has to be today!
Cause for the first time in forever…
For the first time in forever…
Nothing’s in our waaaay- GAH!
(Btw, I wanted to make a reference to the source material of the lyrics, where at the end Hans bumps into Anna. But in this case, it’s Madeleine Cookie accidentally knocking into the gang.)

Last night on P3R: food, friends, full moon, and Featherman!
I learned something new today! Mitsuru wants to hang out and make karume-yaki, which I looked up, because I’ve never heard of it. Karume-yaki translates roughly to English as “baked caramel”, and is also known as honeycomb toffee. You make it with brown sugar and baking soda, which makes the melted sugar bubble and gives it the honeycomb texture.
Apparently it’s a popular recipe for children, and in Japan specifically they use egg white to give it a more domed shape like a cookie?
But I dunno. This doesn’t seem like a good recipe for children?
She calls it simple, but Mitsuru, I’m pretty sure anything with a candy thermometer and molten sugar maybe shouldn’t be done by a kid. Molten sugar can fuck you up. X’’’D
But they actually do sound good. I kind of want to try that now.
Anyway, it’s the first day back to school, and listening to my fellow students talk, it’s becoming very clear that everyone is just getting used to Apathy Syndrome. Some were even talking about how it would be better to have Apathy Syndrome, because then you wouldn’t be stressed, or something. Which, okay. You wouldn’t be stressed. You would be a shambling zombie person standing around in the mall or something, though.
After answering a question correctly about superconductors and planning to make a kimono with Bebe, we head home for the day, where we discover that Aigis wants to attend school. And Ikutsuki thinks it’s a great idea, so she’s transferring in tomorrow.
Nevermind that this could go terribly wrong. I mean, won’t things fall apart as soon as a teacher asks her to take her “headphones” off?
Oh, come on. Akira took Morgana to school for a year! He can be Aigis’s emotional support dog or something.
After that, we’re off to the mall to cash in stuff from my last Tartarus trip, check for new stuff in Escapade, and meet up with Tanaka. Escapade has some new dialogue, but no new sketchy websites.
ALSO, the ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY of my favorite Escapade patron succumbing to Apathy Syndrome. Why, dude?? You were so close to the groove!
Tanaka continues to be charming as always.
Not by you!! My mom is somewhere in the Velvet Room. :/
Day 2 of school goes well. No one really bats an eye at Aigis, but she does take the seat right beside Minato and announce out loud that all she cares about is staying by his side. So, definitely ulterior motives for coming to school.
Welp, can’t social link with her yet, but I’ve got other things to do, so--
Senpai, I’m begging you. It’s the second day of school. I have five social links ready to rank up right this second. Please run your own errands. I am trying to improve my relationships so I can kick more ass with my personas. It’s for the TEAM.
THIS is your errand??? You could have done this yourself; he literally changes his mind and decides to come back as soon as you mention Ken joined the team. I didn’t say a WORD.
Apparently not because Akihiko-senpai just dragged me here without permission. Also I’m not allowed to go to Tartarus without third-year supervision. I’m basically a figurehead. Or a toddler.
Whatever. I’m going home to read yakuza books with Aigis.
...all of my friends are still lunatics.
I rank-up with Kenji, and I think that if I decide to do a social link and the link immediately bails on me, I should get to do a second one. Kenji asked if I wanted to go out for ramen and then decided, nope, he’s gonna go check out a cram school, because he’s thinking about colleges. Apparently his “girlfriend” (the ethics teacher) mentioned that he needs to be thinking about his future.
He thinks Minato should be thinking about his, too.
We can’t think about our future, Kenji. Sorry.
But yeah, Kenji runs off and Minato just goes home. I totally could have called one of my other FOUR links that are ready to rank up. -_-;;; Worth it, I guess, because back at home, Shinji wants me to explain the rules for using the kitchen.
This man cooks like a professional.
Sir, this is the best food I’ve had all year. The leftovers in my inventory are described as “exquisite”. Please. I am begging you to cook for the dorm as much as possible. Koromaru will thank you, too.
Junpei is still stopping on the way home to talk to Chidori, who is posing philosophical questions on this fine afternoon.
Junpei explains that he feels alive when he’s getting to be a hero. He likes feeling like the main character, the brave superhero using his powers to defend the world in its darkest hour (literally).
She does sound… kind of genuine here? But its hard to say. Junpei eats up the positive attention, though, and starts explaining about personas and how he works with a team. He calls himself the leader, though.
My guy, you don’t know it, but I know who you’re talking to, and I have a nasty feeling that you’re gonna get snatched by our enemies.
...oh, hey, max courage! I can hang out with Fuuka now if I want. Still no academics rank-up, though.
...welp.
She wants him to call off “his” team. End this operation and any future ones. But unfortunately the team is already at Paulownia Mall, looking for the big shadow. Fuuka tracks down the signal as coming from a “web” underground, which turns out to be the power cables. Escapade has been having power problems for a while, and they’ve just been getting worse recently.
Awww. No concert means no chance to see baby Rise. She’s… what, 13? God.
Either way, time to fight a shadow up in the club!
But first I gotta be an edgelord for a second in front of the blood fountain.
Xurkitree, is that you? You’re the Hermit? XD
This one’s gimmick is spending a turn or two charging up so it can do powerful lightning skills, otherwise it’s stuck with base-level zio. You can stop it from charging by attacking it, so it’s just a matter of timing. At least until the last quarter if its health or so, when it goes permanently charged.
I’m slightly disappointed that even though we’re in a nightclub with a shadow hooked into the electrical system, it was just a normal fight. Like, the Priestess got that monorail to move. Why can’t the Hermit cut on the rainbow disco lights and play me a dance remix of the battle theme? XD
Just the one shadow this time, too. Hermit was all alone, which I guess is appropriate.
Chidori has dragged Junpei up to the roof of the dorm, and can’t understand why he would lie about being the leader of SEES. (To impress you, you silly girl.) Everyone storms the roof, with Ikutsuki on our heels (since he apparently didn’t hear anything??), and Chidori tries to call her persona, Medea. Junpei knocks her evoker away before she can, and Aigis gets hold of her so she can’t run.
...not what she asked, Chidori! Besides, we don’t kill people.
She’s completely overwrought, so Mitsuru and Ikutsuki make the decision to have her sent to a Kirijo hospital so that they can keep an eye on her while we figure out what to do.
That goes well. She wont answer questions, won’t even talk unless Junpei is there, and freaks out at the mention of her evoker because not being able to summon her persona is completely destabilizing her mental state.
Mitsuru wants to know where she would have gotten the evoker, but it’s impossible to get anything else out of her.
I can’t go to Tartarus even if I wanted to because Mitsuru and Akihiko are spending their evenings at the hospital, so I guess I’m gonna chill and do social links.
Kaz, my track team buddy, has inflamed the tendons in his knee, and his doctor says he’s not gonna be able to walk if he keeps pushing it. Which… dude, track is not so important that you should permanently screw up your physical health. Even if you promised your nephew.
...oh my god Kaz.
Apparently his nephew doesn’t want to do physical therapy, so Kaz made a deal that if he becomes number one in Japan, the kid will do it. Which… Kaz, still. Your health. Your nephew wouldn’t want YOU to not be able to walk either!
At midnight, Strega is having a meeting in wherever the hell they live, trying to figure out what to do about Chidori.
Glad that Jin seems to be a relatively normal person outside of the assassin-ing. You know, showing basic concern for your teammates? Takaya, on the other hand, wants to get her evoker back first, because “It would mean nothing to free Chidori without it. For us, our persona is as precious as our very lives.”
Dude, you have a problem. X’’’D
He’s also got… Okay, so I didn’t mention it before because I didn’t know enough to speculate, but when we fought that fucked-up Abbadon on the bridge, it dropped something vaguely gun-shaped, and Takaya took it with him. He’s got it now, and, uh…
So, human experimentation. Great.
So, we killed a former human experiment who lost control of their persona and turned into a demon. I love knowing that even more terrible things happened on this island.
Takaya apparently doesn’t use an evoker because he’s above needing tools to summon. Which… if he wasn’t clearly still forcing it, I’d say that makes him the most stable of all of us. X’’’D He’s impressed by Minato’s ability to summon multiple personas, though.
After that we make a quick stop back at the hospital, where Chidori still isn’t talking, but they have noticed that she heals faster than normal from cuts and stuff. Junpei is still worried about her, much to Akihiko’s annoyance.
The healing probably has something to do with her persona, since she has navigator abilities? Fuuka can do a group heal as her theurgy.
Mitsuru and Akihiko want the rest of us to keep our regular routines as much as possible, so I’m gonna vibe with Koromaru.
We end up helping a kid cornered on the playground by a stray dog, and guys, I gotta say…
You know how in Japanese, there’s this specific way that “delinquents” talk? This dog’s bark sounds like that. XDDD
Keeping up the theme of hanging out with my smallest teammates, I head up to check on Ken next, because he’s been acting weird. He claims he’s fine, but he’s hungry, so we go out for ramen.
That’s because you’re a kid. Seriously.
He almost immediately asks whether I come here with Akihiko and Shinjiro, and what kind of things we talk about. First of all, no. Second of all, nosy. Gonna tell me why you’re being weird about Shinji, Ken? Isn’t that the point of social links? Everyone else has spilled their deepest darkest secret on the second hangout. XD
Ikutsuki is WRONG, unsurprisingly. Maybe he should have stayed in contact with the Nanjo Group.
I really am worried about Ken. Shinji asked if he joined willingly, but like I said before, even if he was willing, he should have been told n--
HOLD UP, FEATHERMAN COMMERCIAL
New Featherman details!! New Featherman details!!! Time to add more to my big dumb giant document. :D
Anyway, Ken, I think you’re doing a great job, but try not to burn yourself out. Also it’s fine if you like Featherman. So do I. Or, I keep trying to, at least.
...and maybe stop… whatever mindset is causing that? Jeeze, kid.
We walk by one of his classmates on the way home, too, who practically begs him to join the soccer team because he’s really good. But Ken says no.
Honey, you’re in… what, fifth grade? And we go to Tartarus like twice a month. Go play soccer. Exist. Be a kid.
September is off to a rough start. Maybe the culture festival will be better.

Day 29 - Leon
So I’ll start with the good news as that’s what you’ve been waiting for.
This evening we did a test walk of just over 3 miles with Jane and her pack and it went OK. She won’t be running any marathons any day soon and we’ll have our rucksacks sent ahead but we’ll be back on the road tomorrow. We’re going to cheat a bit to save rebooking all our accommodation and will be getting the bus to Astorga in the morning and just doing 10k to our booked hostel.
Right, back to earlier today. I went off in the morning to Leon’s museum of modern art which is right over the other side of town. It’s only a small museum with 4 halls but it was really interesting and I enjoyed what I saw. There was one hall that celebrated concrete of all things, and had the usual odd couple of plates and bottles as exhibits and somewhere you could lie on bags of concrete.
But the hall I enjoyed the most was covered in over 80 large canvases of all sorts of brightly coloured shapes.
When I got back Jane had been busy too, having a look around our local church and getting some stuff from the local shop to make a delicious (she told me to say that) pasta sauce which we’ve just had with some pasta and salad for tea. It was actually delicious.
We were then contacted by Jude, an Australian we met early on, who was staying outside Leon and coming in by bus for the afternoon. We met her for a drink, then I gave her a whistle stop tour of Leon while Jane went back to pack her rucksack for the test walk.
Leaving Jude in the main square with some tips on where to go next, I got back to the flat and we set off. Jane went initially at her usual fast pace but settled down eventually. We went down to the river and walked along to the Parador and the resting pilgrim. We then went over the river and through the park I used to walk through where the blossom on the floor was like snow. At the end of the park I showed Jane the school I worked at.
We then walked back up to town and popped in a walking shop as Jane wanted a dress and I was looking for shorts, but they were really expensive, 80+ euros each. Two doors down was a bargain store where we got a dress and shorts for 8 euros total in the absence of charity shops! We love a good bargain.
Back at the flat we’ve had our food, booked our bus, replied to lots of people, finished the wine and will shortly be packing up our rucksacks again.
Buen Camino!

A Stash of...

Fandom: Station 19
Rating: G
Word Count: 875
Author’s note: I have no clue how we got to where we did, but the words came and I went with them. Enjoy!
[][]
“Hey! No more treats! We’re having dinner soon.” Carina scolds, smacking Maya’s hand away as she tries to reach into the glass jar for another handful of gummy bears.
“One more,” Maya counters, slipping one last bear into her smiling mouth.
“I have never seen someone with a bigger sweet tooth than you. I bet if we test your blood it would be half candy.”
“The vampires would love me,” Maya smiles. “That’s what my grandma used to say. She’d hug me and say I was so sweet that the vampires would just drink me up like Kool-Aid.”
“I’ve never met your grandmother, but I have to agree with her: you are very sweet,” Carina says, stealing a kiss and taking her wife’s hand. She can see the warmth in her wife as she recalls the memory and it makes Carina happy knowing there were still some good things from Maya’s childhood she carried with her. “Come on, let’s eat.”
Later that night as they lounged on the couch, Carina looked up from the book she was reading to find her wife digging her hand deep into a bag of candy.
“Hey! I thought I told you no more!”
“That was before dinner. This is after dinner,” Maya says, playfully sticking her tongue out at her wife. “Besides, this one is almost done. I’d hate to see it go to waste.”
Carina rolls her eyes at that. “You’re going to end up with a stomachache later.”
“Am not!”
‘I bet you can’t even go one day without eating sweets.” She said it as more of a comment, but the way Maya sits up and looks at her, her wife had heard it a totally different way.
“Challenge accepted.” Determination is written on Maya’s face and Carina quickly tries to backtrack.
“No, bambina, i didn’t mean it that way. I was joking.”
“So what? Let’s see if I can do it! If I win we eat ice cream for dinner tomorrow, and if I lose I get rid of all the candy in the house for the rest of the month.”
“Okay. Sure,” Carina agrees, almost positive her wife would not last a day without candy. They shake on the bet and then Maya finishes off the bag, proclaiming it as her last bite.
[][]
A busy work day came in Maya’s favor the next day; when her mind and body were occupied, the thought of candy didn’t even cross her mind. Everyone at the station knew of her bet with Carina and said they would help her win.
“Oh! What about the M&M’s in your locker?” Vic asks.
“What about them?” Maya questions, following her friend’s train of thought.
“Well, shouldn’t you get rid of it? You know, to eliminate temptation.”
“No, you know, they’re fine,” Maya says, twisting her face. Her secret stash of candy only came out in times of crisis. Or when Pru was hanging out and Auntie Maya snuck her a treat.
“Well, I mean,” Vic shrugs, “just to be safe.” a second later, she dashes off to the locker room, giggling the whole way, Maya hot on her heels yelling at her to stop. “What’s your combination?”
“Not a chance! You’re not touching my stuff!”
“You want to win that bet or not?”
“Wow, your lack of faith in me hurts,” Maya says, sarcasm dripping from her voice. Both girls knew it was all a game and Vic lets Maya tackle her and they both end up on the ground giggling.
When they return from one last call to end their shift, Carina is there waiting for them.
“Hey!” Maya smiles, going to her wife for a kiss.
“Hey to you too. So, how did she do?” Carina asks the others as they gather around.
“She did great,” Vic says.
“Yeah, Maya was a very good girl,” Travis says.
“What am I four?” Maya asks laughing.
“Warren? Did Maya pass?” Carina asks, turning to the unofficial ‘dad’ of their group.
“I’m sorry to say, Carina, that Maya did not touch a single piece of candy at all today. Unless you count a piece of mint gum as candy.”
Maya looks at her wife, her smile wide. “I told you! I told you so!” she cheers, jumping around. “Ice cream party for dinner!”
“I’m thinking this was a bad idea,” Carina says, regretting agreeing to the bet. Before her eyes her wife had turned into a little girl and she knew it would only get worse once she started eating.
“Oh! I think there are some sprinkles in the cabinet!” Vic says, equally excited, inviting herself to the ice cream party.
“Oh! And there’s chocolate syrup if the back of the fridge I think is still good!” Travis adds, taking his friends' hands and running with them upstairs to the kitchen.
“And suddenly they are all four,” Ben says, shaking his head in solidarity with Carina.
“Yeah,” she sighs. “You think Sullivan will mind if we leave them here and leave?”
Ben laughs at that. “I highly doubt he’d want to babysit a bunch of sugar-high, slap-happy firefighters.”
“I hate that you’re right,” Carina says, walking up the stairs with Ben, ready to face the consequences of her big mouth.

Hold My Hand: John Wick x Reader Chapter 138
Warnings: NSFW
HMH masterlist
Today is December 5th, which means two things: Ronan is officially three months old and it’s totally acceptable to decorate for Christmas!
Rolling over in bed, you hover over John and smile as he lets out a small laugh with his eyes closed, then you crawl on top of him and nuzzle into the crook of his neck as he tries not to laugh. You tickle his sides, which doesn’t actually do anything since he’s not very ticklish, then you chomp in the crook of his neck.
“Merry Christmas!” you sing softly to him.
John laughs, “It’s not Christmas yet.”
“It’s December, so yeah, it’s Christmas.” you say, sitting up on John as you look down at him, “It’s December, which also means it’s time to decorate!”
“I forget how excited you always get about Christmas.” he says, resting his hands on your hips, “We have a big weekend ahead of us.”
You nod, “Yes, we do! So, time to get up.”
John hums as he thinks, then he pulls you back down to his chest, “I think we should stay in bed a little longer. Bug is with Grandma, so maybe we should take advantage of that.”
“Hmm,” you pull the blankets over you and smile as you lean down to kiss him, “Maybe we should.”
__
Today is going to be spent getting the shop all decorated for Christmas, and you’re so excited! John is currently putting up a Christmas tree in the center of the shop, and you’re getting the cute little book themed ornaments from the box you brought with you. You even had ornaments made with all of the employees names on them.
“Look!” you hand the G ornament to Grace and smile, “It’s for the tree.”
“Oh, stop, that’s so cute,” she laughs, then she takes it and hangs it up, “What are you two up to this weekend?”
John laughs quietly, “More decorating.”
“Hey, I always said we were going all out once we had a baby.” you say, and John pats your backside when he moves past to get the tree skirt, “We have a big weekend. We’re going to decorate the house tonight, Ro is with my parents, but she should be here any minute because tomorrow she gets to meet Santa!”
Grace gasps and juts out her bottom lip, “Aw! Please tell me that we’ll see the pictures.”
“Of course! Tess actually had to buy our tickets to see him when…wow, I don’t even think Ronan was born yet. I looked it up today just to see if there was even a slot to get into see Santa,” you say, and Grace nods as she looks over at you, “None.”
“He’s a busy man.” John says as he walks past.
Grace laughs, “John, are you going to dress up like Santa when she’s bigger?”
“Nah, that’s Jimmy’s thing.” John laughs, and you smile as you grab a few more ornaments, “I think she’d know if it was me too.”
“Definitely. She’d figure it out.” you nod, then you look over your shoulder when the bell above the door rings as a few people come in. Grace touches your shoulder as she walks over to greet them, and you look over at John, “I wonder where my mom is.”
John exhales as he stands up and admires his work, “I’m sure she’ll be here soon.”
Almost on cue, the bell above the door rings again, and you look over your shoulder to see your mom pushing Ronan’s stroller through the door. John rushes over to help her through the door, then he leans down and smiles at Ronan.
You quickly hang up the ornament, then you walk over and hug your mom, “Hi! How was she?”
“An angel,” your mom smiles, “She slept so well last night.”
“Of course she did,” you say in your mom-voice, then you lean down to look at Ronan as she smiles, “Because that means she won’t sleep tonight because we have a big day tomorrow!”
John reaches down to get Ronan from her stroller, then he kisses her cheek over and over, “She’ll be great. Are you excited, mom?”
“I’ve always wanted to go to New York City for Christmas, it’s been a dream of mine and the girls’ since I…well, I can’t even remember.” she says, and you nod your head in agreement, “There’s several touristy things I want to do, so I hope we can do that.”
“Of course.” John nods, and you smile at Ronan in his arms and whisper to her.
Your mom sets Ronan’s bag down, then she clicks her tongue, “Oh, I can’t wait. Here.”
You furrow your brow when your mom hands an envelope to you, “What’s this?”
“I had Finn yesterday too, so I did something for you and Tess.”
Opening the envelope, you pull out a picture and laugh when you see Finn sitting on a little stool with Ronan next to him in a basket surrounded by fake snow, little pine trees and cute Christmas decorations.
“I took them to get their pictures taken. I know that’s so…old fashioned, but I’m old, okay?”
John laughs as he leans over to look at the pictures, “Mom, these are great.”
“Oh, look at that little heartbreaker.” you say, pointing at Finn’s little cheeky grin in the picture of him. You pull out the next picture and immediately look up at John when you see Ronan’s big smile, “Oh my god!”
“Yeah…” your mom smiles as she looks at it, “She’s so precious.”
You look through the rest of the pictures, some of just Ronan, some of just Finn, then you hug them, “Are these all mine?”
“Yeah, I already gave Tess hers.” your mom says, and you reach out to hug her.
“Thank you so much.” you smile, then you lean back and laugh, “I can’t wait to get these in some frames. I love the little cousins one where he’s holding her hand.”
Your mom chuckles, “He’s just so sweet and gentle with her.”
“He’s great with her,” John nods, bouncing on his knees to keep Ronan happy, “I keep teasing Tess that maybe she needs another baby now.”
“Oh, me too.” your mom says, and you laugh quietly as you look over at Ronan as she looks around.
John hands Ronan over to you when a few more people come in, and you move off to the side with your mom to talk for a few more minutes.
“I’m so excited for tomorrow! I can’t wait to see everything.” your mom says, and you nod your head, “I should probably head home. I need to clean the house up; Finn is a little tornado.”
You laugh as you reach out to hug her, “I’ll see you tomorrow for some breakfast!”
“So excited!” she smiles, then she leans over to kiss Ronan’s cheek. “Love you both.”
“Bye, mom. Love you.” you smile, then you walk over to John as he waves at your mom.
John smiles and leans down to kiss you, then he kisses the top of Ronan’s head, “Are you excited for tomorrow too?”
“Very excited! I’ve always wanted to see Rockefeller Center and see the big tree.” you smile, bouncing on your knees, “And I’ve always wanted to go Macy’s too! Ah, I’m excited!”
“I can’t tell if you’re bouncing on your knees because you’re excited or if you’re just trying to keep her from getting fussy.”
You laugh, “Both!”
“So cute,” John whispers as he leans down to kiss you, “Let me just get the last few things done around here, then we’ll head home.”
You nod your head as you bounce Ronan in your arms, then you walk over to the Christmas tree and hold her up so she’s able to look at it. You point to the ornament that has an R on it for Ronan and tell her it’s for her, then you kiss her cheek.
Christmas music is playing softly through the speakers as you dance with Ronan in your arms, and you smile when John walks over with lighted garland to wrap your the railing of the spiral staircase.
“This place looks so festive,” a woman says, and you smile as you look over your shoulder to see her holding a book. “It looks nice and cozy.”
“Thank you!” you smile, then you laugh when Ronan wiggles your arms and garbles. You look down at her and scrunch your eyebrows together, then you look up at John as he peeks out from behind his hands causing her to laugh as he walks closer. “Oh, daddy is just so silly, huh?”
John holds up her foot and looks at her, “I’m gonna eat it! Nom, nom, nom!”
Ronan laughs and squeals as John playfully nibbles on her foot, and you smile as you hand her over to him. He kisses her chubby cheek, then he exhales and looks over at you as you watch them.
“I think this place looks pretty good.” he says, and you nod as you look around.
“I like the garland with the lights on the railings, that looks cool.” you point, then you look over at the tree, “But this is my favorite.”
John gestures to the windows, “I think Grace had an idea for the windows, so she’s going to do those.”
“Sounds good.” you say, then you grin as you look over at him.
“Alright, we can head home.” he laughs, rolling his eyes playfully.
You clench your fist in victory, then you rush into the office to get your bag. John waits by the office door while you grab his jacket and keys, and you giggle as you walk past him.
“You’re so excited.”
“I am so excited!” you sing, and he laughs as he puts Ronan in her stroller. “Look, I agreed that we would at least wait until the first week of December.”
John laughs, “You wanted to put the tree out Thanksgiving night.”
“If we hadn’t hosted Thanksgiving, I would have, but I was exhausted after.” you say, then you look down to make sure Ronan is all bundled up before you push her stroller through the door. You turn around to wave at Grace and Tony, then you wait outside while John says goodbye to them.
“We’ll definitely send you some pictures.” John laughs as he waves at them, “Call if you need anything.”
God, he’s so good with the employees! He’s so fucking sweet and nice to them, and they just adore him.
John inhales deeply, then he gets his keys out, “Ready? Wait, why are you smiling like that?”
“You’re just so cute!” you laugh as you reach out to hug him, “I just love watching you with everyone.”
“What? Because I was saying goodbye?”
You nod, “Yeah, you’re adorable.”
John lets out a small laugh before he leans down to kiss you, “Alright, Mrs. Wick, stop buttering me up. I’m getting the decorations out first thing when we get home.”
“Hey!” you laugh as you lean back to look at him, “I think you’re a cutie pie.”
“You’re a cutie pie,” he smiles, and you chuckle before you lean up to kiss him. He looks over at Ronan as she looks at the two of you, then he laughs, “Look at her. She’s probably thinking about how embarrassing her parents are.”
You laugh as you look over at her, then you grab John’s face and kiss his cheek obnoxiously as you hum, “Mm, mm, mm!”
Ronan giggles as you smother John’s face in kisses, and you laugh loudly when John grabs your face and does it back to you, causing her to laugh even louder.
“Oh, your parents are just so mushy, huh?” you laugh as you lean down to kiss Ronan, “You’ll be so embarrassed by us someday, but you’ll grow to appreciate it.”
John laughs as he moves around to get Ronan into the backseat, then he stuffs her stroller into the trunk before getting in the car, “Okay, so…is there anywhere you need to go before we go home and get started?”
“Well, I mean, I could totally do some shopping for Christmas decorations, but I won’t.”
John turns in his seat and looks at you, “I thought you did that the other day. You left with Ro and came back with about $150 worth of candles.”
You scoff loudly, “It was not $150.”
“Oh, excuse me, $125.” he teases, and you playfully roll your eyes as he laughs.
“I bought five candles and I had a coupon!” you say, and John laughs as he drives down the street. “Did it really bother you?”
John laughs, “No, and the house smells great.”
Sitting back in your seat, you look out the window as you pass someone putting their Christmas lights up and it reminds you that John will probably have to to do that sometime this weekend if he gets the time.
“What is the first thing you want to do when we get into the city tomorrow, peach?”
“Hmm,” you purse your lips and think, “I’m thinking I would like a nice cup of hot chocolate and a donut from that little coffee shop you took me to that one time when we first started dating.”
John nods, “Ooh, sounds good. I forgot all about that place.”
“How about you, dad?”
“A coffee and a donut sounds good, I think you got the right idea.” he says, pulling into the driveway, “And maybe a big ol’ kiss.”
You look over at him as he parks the car, “You want that one a little early?”
“Yes, please.” he nods, then he cups your face and leans over to kiss you, “I’m going to need several of those tomorrow.”
“Okay,” you laugh as you lean over to kiss him, “I can definitely do that.”
__
Decorating the house didn’t go according to plan. Once you got inside and all relaxed, neither you nor John really wanted to drag the boxes up from the basement. He did bring up the tree and put it together just so it could fluff up last night and during the day today, but you’ll have to save the decorating until tomorrow since you’ll be spending today in New York City!
“Oh, gorgeous girl!” you smile as you hold up Ronan, “Let’s go show daddy our cute outfits for the day.”
You hold Ronan against your chest as you head downstairs and call out for John, and you smile when you get to the bottom of the steps as he comes out of the kitchen with a huge smile on his face.
“Ronan is wearing a very cute little outfit for her photo with Santa today.” you say as you hold her to show John her cute pants, “We got some cute floral pants with deep red flowers on them--perfect for the holiday. And of course, she has a lovely little deep red onesie on to match the pants, and the finishing touch, of course, is this beautiful little headband that she will rip off before she even gets in the car.”
“Ro, you look beautiful.” John whispers as he walks over and takes her from you, “Look how pretty you are, just like your momma. Speaking of mom, wow.”
You stick out your leg and shrug, “I figured Tess will have her camera with, so I decided to go with a nice sweater that isn’t too heavy that matches Ro’s onesie, some of dad’s favorite jeans, and some Doc Marten boots because NYC streets are no joke.”
“I do love those jeans.”
“And I finally fit into them nicely again!” you say, then you do a little spin for John, “You better get ready for lots of fashion shows.”
John laughs as he reaches out for your hand, “I definitely am.”
“Daddy looks very handsome today too!” you say, and John laughs as he looks at his outfit, “Love the leather jacket, love those shoes, love these jeans.”
John puckers his lips to kiss you, then he moves his hand down to your ass, “Ready?”
“Yes. I just need to get her bottle.”
“Already got it.” John says, and you put your hand over your chest like you’re so impressed, “I know. I’m on top of everything today.”
You look over at him and cock your eyebrow up, “Well…”
“Hey, hey, hey…” he laughs, leaning over to kiss your cheek, “A baby is in our presence.”
“Wanna tell that to your hand?” you laugh, and John spanks you a few times before you walk away. You grab your backpack and look through it to make sure you have everything you’ll need for Ronan, “Diapers, yes. Wipes and hand sanitizer, yes. A bottle, yes. Mom’s wallet, yes. Lotion for the delicate baby skin, yes. Uh, changing pad, yes. Socks and a change of outfit just in case, yes. I think we’re set.”
John holds up the baby sling that you use to tie Ronan to your chest, and you look at it for a few moments before you nod your head and reach out for it. Maybe John will want to carry her at some point.
“We are all set.” you say, then you get a little giddy as you walk over to John, “I’m so excited!”
“Me too. I bet Ronan is going to be a little angel when she gets her picture with Santa.” John smiles, and you nod your head as you open the front door and walk over to your car.
You open the back door and watch John getting Ronan into her car seat, “She’s going to be an angel all day, and she’s going to have so much fun with her family.”
“I think so too.” John smiles, then he helps you into the front seat, “Can’t wait.”
__
The streets of New York City are always jam packed with tourists and people shopping, and during the holiday season, it’s even worse. John knew he’d never be able to park close to where you’d be spending most of the day, so he parked in a lot where he knew the car would be safe, then the three of you crammed into a cab so you could be taken to Time Square.
You met up with everyone at the diner for some breakfast, and now you’re all just wandering down the street to Macy’s before the kids have their photo taken with Santa. Ronan is currently wrapped up in her stroller as John pushes her down the street, and you’re clinging to his arm so you don’t get lost in the crowd.
“Hey,” John leans over and smiles, “Remember when we came here that one night?”
“Yeah! I was just thinking about that. It looks so different in the day.”
John nods, “Much cooler at night with all the lights.”
You smile as you look up at John, then you stand on your tiptoes to kiss him, “Still one of my favorite things we’ve ever done.”
“We’ll have to do it again some time.”
“It’s a date,” you smile, then you lean down to look at Ronan as she sleeps. You wrap both of your arms around John’s bicep, then you smile as you look up at him again, “You look so handsome today.”
John laughs, “Thank you very much.”
Jimmy points at some golf store that he wants to go into, so you let go of John’s arm and take the stroller to sit with her outside. Tess smiles when Finn holds Jimmy’s hand and walks inside with them, then she walks over to stand with you and your mom.
“Did you get the house decorated?”
You laugh, “No, John and I weren’t in the mood once we got home. He actually hired some local company to put lights on the house. I worry about him getting on a ladder while it’s raining or snowing this next week, plus he has his knee that bothers him. I just don’t want him to get hurt.”
Tess nods, “That’s what we’re doing too. Finn picked out a few little blow up decorations for the front yard, but we’re having someone come put the lights on the house.”
“Much too dangerous for them to be out doing that,” your mom says, and Tess lets out a small laugh, “We should do that too then, I won’t ask the boys to put up my lights.”
You push Ronan’s stroller back and forth when you hear her making noises, then you lean down and smile when she looks around, “Well, good afternoon.”
Reaching into the stroller, you pull Ronan out and pull the hood down on her coat so she can look around. She wobbles in your arms a little as her eyes grow wide, and your mom and Tess laugh as she looks around at everything.
Your mom laughs, “She’s getting so expressive.”
“This is New York City,” you say, then you point around, “There’s Time Square, and just over there is where Santa is.”
Tess smiles as she leans over to look at Ronan, then she kisses her tiny hand, “Hi, sweet girl. Do you want your favorite auntie to hold you?”
“I think so.” you smile as you hand Ronan to Tess, then you take off your backpack and reach in for a new diaper so Tess can change her too. You sit down on the bench next to your mom, then you bump her shoulder, “Excited for Christmas?”
“Very! Is Jonathan excited?”
You smile as you look over at John coming out of the shop with Finn in his arms followed by Jimmy and your dad, “He’s very excited. He can’t wait until Ro is old enough to open her own stuff, but yeah, this year is special since it’s our first Christmas as parents, obviously. He wants to do the whole Santa and elves thing that you and dad did for Tess and I that one year.”
Your mom laughs, “Ah, that was sweet.”
“She believed Santa was real until she was almost 10. You made me promise I wouldn’t tell, and I didn’t!” Tess says, and you see John perk up, “Yeah, your wife believed in Santa until she was almost 10.”
You laugh when John looks over at you, “I didn’t believe he was real, I just wanted to believe he was.”
“That’s so cute, mouse,” John laughs as he leans down to kiss you, and you take Finn from him.
“Santa is real, what are you all talking about?” Jimmy says, widening his eyes and gesturing to Finn. “We’re gonna go see Santa, aren’t we, buddy?”
Finn nods his head as he sits in your lap, then he perks up when he sees Tess is holding Ronan. He slips off your lap and reaches up for Tess, so she leans down and smiles when he looks at Ronan.
“What a sweet boy you are,” Tess smiles as Finn kisses Ronan, “Is that your best friend?”
You smile when Finn nods his head, then you stand up and put your backpack on as Jimmy picks up Finn and throws him into the air. He tickles his tummy and makes silly noises as Finn giggles loudly, and you look over at Tess as she smiles and watches them.
John wraps his arm around you and rubs your arm, “Everything good?”
“Yeah, of course.” you smile as you look up at him, then you raise your eyebrow, silently asking him the same question.
“Everything’s great with me,” John nods and leans down to kiss you, then he looks over at Ronan in Tess’ arms.
__
The line to see Santa wasn’t too long since you obviously had to get tickets, but Finn was thrilled to go through the little setup that they have outside of meeting Santa. He even ‘wrote’ a little letter to send to Santa at the North Pole, just in case he forgot what Finn wants this year. He’s a busy man after all, and he sees many children!
You can hear Santa on the other side of the curtain as he talks to the family that was in front of you, and you smile when you see Finn clapping his hands and giggling as Jimmy tells him that Santa is on the other side.
“Think Santa will let me sit in his lap?” Jimmy asks, and Finn shakes his head, “What? You don’t? I’ve been good this year! Is daddy too big?”
“Yeah,” Finn nods, and you chuckle a little.
Tess kneels down and smiles, “How about mommy? Can I sit in Santa’s lap?”
“Yeah!” Finn nods as he reaches out to hug her, and Jimmy frowns as he looks over at Finn. Finn giggles and rushes back over to hug Jimmy.
They’re such a cute family, you can never quite get over it. Tess is just the perfect mom to Finn, and Jimmy is a great dad too. They love the hell out of Finn and each other. It’s nice to see your sister so happy with her little family.
You let out a small laugh as you watch Jimmy chasing Finn around, then you look at Tess, “Is Jimmy ever in a bad mood?”
Tess laughs as she shakes her head and looks at you, “No. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen him genuinely mad before. I mean, don’t get me wrong, we fight, we bicker, but it never lasts long. He just is a naturally happy guy, you know?”
“Yeah,” John laughs, nodding his head, “It’s annoying sometimes.”
“Yeah! Sometimes I wanna be mad or upset, but he just has a way to get me out of that mood so quickly,” she says, and John nods in agreement, “It’s nice though. It’s nice to be with someone like that.”
John nudges your shoulder and nods to you, “That’s you to me.”
You scoff, “No, more like you to me. I get mad and John talks me down so quickly. John is the level headed one in our relationship.”
“Never thought I’d be referred to as ‘level headed’.” John laughs, and you smile at him. “Definitely not with my…uh, my history of acting on emotions.”
Tess chuckles, “It’s nice though. It’s nice to have someone like that, someone who can calm you down when your emotions take over. I’m glad we all have that.”
“Me too.” you smile at him, “I’m glad you have Jimmy.”
“The other day I got my hair trimmed and just added a few highlights to it, and when I came home, the moment Jimmy saw me, he noticed. He made a huge deal about it, about how pretty I looked.” Tess laughs as she shakes her head, “I never had a guy do that for me before and I just started crying. I always wanted that--I know it’s stupid, but I always wanted that. I always wanted a guy to notice little things like that. And now I have that with Jimmy.”
You smile wide when Tess looks at you, “It’s cute.”
“Ugh! I sound like you! I hang out with you too much.”
You playfully gasp, “No such thing!”
Tess nods, “Yeah, no such thing.”
You completely understand how Tess feels. It really is so nice to have someone who notices the smallest things about you, and you totally agree with her about the whole hair thing. You haven’t cut your hair in a long time, but it grew so fast while you were pregnant that you decided to just get a little trim. You didn’t even tell John that you were thinking about it nor did you tell him that you were going, but you met up with him at the bookshop after, and it didn’t take him more than 5 seconds to notice that you had cut three inches off of your hair. He notices everything about you, and it’s really nice to have someone who pays such close attention. It’s nice to have someone who cares enough to even pay attention.
“Alright,” The woman dressed as the elf smiles, “It’s your turn!”
Tess holds Finn’s hand as she walks through the curtain, and you follow behind them and see Santa sitting on a bench with fake reindeer and trees around him.
“Well, hello!” Santa says, waving at Finn, “What do you have on your sweater?”
Finn looks down at his sweater and tilts his head as he looks up at Santa to tell him that he has a bear on his shirt. Tess kneels down and whispers to Finn, then he quickly walks over and reaches out for Santa to take him.
“Oh god, I’m gonna cry,” Tess laughs as she stands up and turns around for a moment, “He’s so cute.”
Finn is talking nonstop to Santa, and he points over at Ronan and nods as he looks back at Santa.
Tess laughs as she kneels down by Finn, “Why don’t you get your picture with Santa first, then Ro can sit with you?”
You reach over to get Ronan while Finn gets his picture taken, then you fix her bow a little and walk over to hand her to Santa. You hope he knows how to hold a baby, but you’re sure he’s been holding babies all day long for weeks now.
“Don’t worry, miss, I always use hand sanitizer between pictures.” he whispers, and you smile softly.
Ronan widens her eyes when she looks up at Santa, then she looks over at you, which causes you all to laugh. She really is quite expressive today.
“Smile!” Tess says, and Finn grins.
You wave and smile at Ronan to get her to smile, but she just sits there. John kneels down closer and talks to her, which earns a big gummy smile from her, and the woman snaps a picture. Finn hops down when Tess reaches for his hand, then the woman takes another picture of just Ronan with Santa.
“Oh, beautiful!” the woman smiles, then she hands a ticket to you and Tess so you can get your pictures.
John takes Ronan from Santa and presses a kiss to her cheek as you walk through the doors, and you lean over to look at her as she smiles wide. You walk over to the kiosk to get your pictures printed out, and you hold it up for John to see.
“Oh, look at that big smile,” he laughs, then he kisses Ronan’s cheek. “So gorgeous like her momma.”
You hold John’s gaze when he looks at you, then you lean over to kiss him, “Stop it right now, Wick. I know what you’re doing.”
“Just wondering if…”
Rolling your eyes, you let out a small laugh, then you look over at him, “Definitely.”
“Yes!” John clenches his fist in victory, then he puts Ronan in her stroller, “Can’t wait.”
You reach up and cup his face as he wraps his arms around you, “We still have hours before we’re home. Can you last?”
“I can try,” he laughs, and you shake your head as you lean up to kiss him, “You just look so gorgeous today.”
“Thank you!” you smile as you lean back to look at him, “I feel good!”
John nods, “I can tell. It’s radiating off of you, peach.”
“I hope you know you’re a major part of the reason why,” you whisper, and he smiles as he leans down to kiss you. Cupping John’s face, you close your eyes and press another kiss to his lips before you move to push the stroller to head to your next destination.
__
The rest of the day went by pretty quickly after seeing Santa. You stopped into a few shops you had never been in to before and you got a few things, then you all grabbed some dinner before going to Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas Tree. Thankfully since it’s winter, it gets darker earlier, so you were able to see the tree even though it was only around 6. You even convinced John to go skating with you for a little bit--you both fell a few times.
“No, that was totally your fault. You were going down and you pulled me with you,” you say and John shakes his head, “Yes! You started to fall and pulled me down, and now look, I got a big bruise on my shin because of you.”
John laughs as he holds up your leg and presses several kisses to your shin, “Is that better?”
“Moderately.” you say, and John lets out another laugh as he pulls you closer to kiss you, “Hmm…”
“Oh, you have to think about it?”
You laugh as you tilt your head back, then you yelp when John pushes you down on the couch and crawls on top of you. His breath is hot on your skin as he gently brushes his lips against your neck, and your eyes roll shut when you feel his tongue glide across your skin.
John crawls up more and wraps your legs around his waist, then he presses himself against you as the two of you share a heated and passionate kiss. You whimper when you feel John hard in his pants as he rubs himself against the thin fabric of your shorts, and he lets out a small breath.
“We haven’t finished decorating,” you whisper as John kisses down your neck to your breast, “Ro is about to be up from her nap too.”
“Then we better make it quick.” he whispers, and you bite your lip as you nod.
You sit up a little and help John get his pants pulled down, then you lay down and lift your hips up so John can pull your shorts and underwear off. He smiles as he looks between your legs, then he leans down for a quick taste causing you to press your hand to your mouth when you moan softly.
“Mm,” John licks his lips, then he smiles at you, “Always tastes so good.”
Pulling John down to your lips, you squeeze your eyes shut and moan as he slides between your legs, and you let out a big breath as you lean back to look at him. He smiles and rubs his thumb against your cheek, then he gently kisses you.
“I love watching you take me,” he whispers, and you grip his shirt as he thrusts his hips hard, knocking the breath out of you every time. “You take me so well, huh? And you love feeling me so deep between your legs, don’t you?”
“Yeah…” you whimper out.
John gently kisses your jawline and chin as he holds your gaze, and you grip his shirt tighter when he jerks his hips harder. You breathe harder and louder as John continues to thrust his hips, and you knit your brows together as you hold his gaze before your eyes roll shut and the pleasure takes over.
“Oh, fuck!” you scream loudly as you tilt your head back, and John lets out a small laugh as he sucks on your neck, “Oh, shit, John!”
“Scream my name,” he whispers, and you clench your jaw and shake your head, “Come on.”
You let out a big breathe as you open your eyes, then you dig your nails into his biceps as you scream his name. John sucks on his thumb as you look at him, then he reaches down and rubs your clit as a wicked smirk spreads across his face.
“Such a good girl,” John whispers to you, and you let out a little laugh since you know he’s doing it on purpose just to get you turned on even more, “I could spend all day between your legs, you know that?”
“God, you’re so sexy.” you say, and John smirks as he leans down to kiss you before he leans up and watches himself sliding in and out of your pussy. “Mm, how lucky am I? Look at you.”
John shakes his head a little, “I’m the lucky one.”
You gasp when John slips from between your legs, and you both frantically reach down to slide him back in, “Put it back in, put it back in.”
“Damn,” John smirks as he holds your gaze, then he pushes himself in deep, “You really want it, don’t you?”
You pull John down to your lips as you roll your hips under him, then you cling to him as you press your foreheads together and pant loudly, preparing to unravel at any minute. John clenches his jaw and lets out a low groan, then he sits up a little and squeezes his eyes shut as you spread your legs open wider, listening to the sound of his hips against your ass.
“I’m coming…” John whispers, then he lays down on top of you more as he jerks his hips hard while you moan into the crook of his neck. You hold tight to John as you both ride out of your orgasms, then you let out a big breath and lay back on the couch as he hovers over you and smiles. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” you whisper to him, then you lean up to kiss him, “I should go get cleaned up.”
John nods as he kisses you, “Me too, then I’ll get Ro.”
You sit up with the help of John, then you waddle off to the bathroom to clean yourself up. You check out yourself in the mirror before you reach into the drawer for a brush to run it through your hair. Ronan giggling from on the other side of the door causes you to perk up, and you open the door and smile when you see her sitting in her swing as Bleu sniffs her and wags his tail.
“Where did you go, John?”
“In here,” he says, and you look in the kitchen, “I needed something to drink.”
You smirk as you shimmy your shoulders, “You’re welcome.”
John laughs as he walks back into the living room with you, then he sits down near Ronan and reaches over to squeeze her chunky foot. You walk over to get a few more decorations, then you set them around as John watches.
“Oh, wow…” John laughs, “You stink.”
You furrow your brow and turn around to look at him, then you laugh, “I thought you meant me.”
“No!” John laughs as he sets Ronan on the couch to change her diaper, “No, you always smell good, like vanilla and flowers.”
“Thanks,” you laugh, then you turn on the radio and smile when John holds up Ronan and bounces her along to the music. You set out a few different decorations, then you stand back and look at everything, “I think we’re done--well, that’s not completely true. I do want to get another little tree for the entryway and decorate there and the kitchen and bathroom too, but the living room is done!”
John smiles as he looks over at the Christmas tree illuminating the living room, “It looks great in here. Smells great in here too.”
“Look, baby girl.” you walk over to the fireplace and hold up her stocking, “Your very first stocking! I wonder what Santa is going to get you!”
“What will we put in there?”
You purse your lips and think, “Uh, probably some little toys, but she’ll be able to eat pureed foods, so probably some of those little puree things.”
John nods as he looks down at Ronan, then he gets up and reaches for your hand, “Come here, momma.”
Taking John’s hand, you smile as you wrap your arms around him and Ronan. You sway back and forth to the music as Ronan smiles at you, and you lean over to kiss her cheek.
“You were in momma’s belly last year. Actually you might not have been at this point,” you say, then you look at John, “But you called me into the office and yelled at me.”
“I didn’t yell at you. I got you back for playing tricks on me.” he laughs, then he smirks, “Then I got you pregnant.”
A smile spreads across your face as you nod, “Yes, you did.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever said it like that before, that I got you pregnant.” he laughs, furrowing his brow a little, “Wow.”
“Give yourself a pat on the back.”
John laughs as he pats his back, then he leans down to kiss you, “It was good teamwork. See? See how well we work together, and look at what we made because of it.”
You smile as you look over at Ronan, then you take her and bounce her a little as you rub her back, “We made an angel. An angel who probably is getting hungry, along with her mom. I need a snack.”
“I’ll make her a bottle and make us some smoothies.” John says, and you smile as you nod your head.
You walk over to the tree with Ronan and watch as she looks at the lights as they twinkle and you point at the ornaments, “That’s the ornament I got for daddy to tell him that you were in my tummy. He was so excited! We’ll show you someday.”
Ronan grunts and coos as you show her all of the ornaments, then she squeals loudly when John comes back into the living room--he always gets a big reaction. John smiles as he walks over with her bottle of milk, then he puts his hand on your back and walks with you over to the couch where you sit down to feed Ronan. You cradle her in your arms and smile as you feed her her bottle, and she reaches up to tug on your hair.
“Our first Christmas as parents,” John smiles, and you look over at him, “It’s going to be so good.”
“I think so,” you smile as you nod, “I think you and I should get up and open our stuff with Ro, then we can hang out for a bit before going to my parents’ house. We’ll probably spend most of the day there, so I’ll make sure to pack everything she’ll need.”
John nods as he looks down at Ronan, “What do you want for Christmas, bug?”
“Hmm, books!” you say in the child-like voice that John always gets freaked out by, and you laugh when you look up at him, “I think some books would be good, maybe some cool new toys! She’ll probably get some clothes from my mom and Tess. My mom called the other day and asked what size she’s wearing now, so I’m sure that’s why.”
“What do you want for Christmas?” John asks, and you shrug as you look at him, “Candles?”
You laugh as you nod, “I always love candles. I don’t know. I’m fine with anything really. What about you? I have no ideas for you this year.”
“Nah, I don’t need anything.” John says as he leans over and kisses your cheek, “I’m more concerned about Ro having a good first Christmas.”
You laugh, “She’s three months old. She doesn’t even know what’s going on, but yeah…same.”
“I was thinking we could get ourselves something,” he says, and you look over at him and furrow your brow, “I thought it would be nice to get ourselves a new TV and entertainment center.”
You look over the bulky entertainment center and nod, “Yeah, that’s a good idea. You’ve had that since before I moved in. A new dresser in our room would be good too.”
“Yeah, definitely.” he nods, then he leans over to kiss you again, “I’m still going to get you presents.”
Letting out a small laugh, you nod, “Yeah, I already have a few ideas for you, to be honest. But what’s most important is that Ronan gets some stuff. I don’t care about getting anything.”
“Oh, I’m not falling for that.” John laughs as he looks at you, and you laugh as you tilt your head back and close your eyes for a moment, “You’re going to get stuff too.”
“Cool,” you shrug a little as you smile, then you look down at Ronan in your arms as she looks over at the tree. “Another thing we can do is maybe have like a date night thing. We take Ro to my mom’s every Wednesday but I miss dressing up and going out, you know? So, maybe we can do that as a present to ourselves--a fancy date night.”
John nods his head and smiles, “I think that’s a really good idea.”
You scrunch your face up and smile when John kisses your cheek, then he leans down and kisses Ronan’s little hand. She wraps her fingers around his index finger as she drinks her bottle and looks around, and John chuckles a little when she looks at him with her big curious brown eyes.
John reaches for the remote to turn on the TV, then he switches it to a movie--The Grinch, “Gonna make some smoothies for us, then we can watch this.”
“Okay,” you smile as he leans over to kiss your cheek, then you look down at Ronan in your arms. You reach over and get her blanket to wrap her up, then you get into the corner of the couch and shift in place until you’re comfortable. Ronan moves around a little as you look down at her, then she lets out a small little sigh that makes you laugh, “Oh, I’m sorry, am I boring you? Is your milk not warm enough?”
“She’s pretty high maintenance,” John jokes as he comes out with two smoothies, then he sits down and leans over to look at Ronan as she drinks her bottle, “Nah, she’s a wonderful little lady.”
You smile as you look over at John, then you sit Ronan up so you can burp her. You pat her back and smile when John holds up your smoothie so you can take a sip of it, then you look down at Ronan when you hear her let out a big burp.
“Oh, just like daddy.” you tease as John laughs, “I can usually get a big burp out of him too when I pat his back.”
John laughs as he leans closer to you and Ronan, “Very true.”
After getting Ronan burped, you change her diaper and get her pajamas back on, then you lounge out on the chaise with Ronan on your chest as you rub her back. John scoots closer to press a kiss to her forehead since he knows she’s going to fall back asleep, then he reaches for your left hand and intertwines his fingers with yours before he relaxes back on the couch and starts the movie. The perfect end to the night. You and your two favorite people.

For the book ask - 18, 33, 36 (yes I'm gonna make you total all the book purchases no you don't have to include gifted books 🤣)
thanks for the ask, referencing this post, even though you are ABSOLUTELY Coming For Me With A Knife, Here:
18. Least favourite books of the year
unfortunately i nerfed myself by not lowball rating ANYthing, this year. on the one hand, that’s good, because it means i didn’t read anything TOO shitty, but on the other hand: yikes what didn’t i like lol.
i was most disappointed in A MASTER OF DJINN, because i love love love his shorter work, and his first Novel Length Thing didn’t quite deliver for me :/ the worldbuilding in that was still cool, though, so i think Least Favorite has to go to HE MELE A HILO: A HILO SONG by Ryka Aoki (yes, that same Aoki, of LIGHT FROM UNCOMMON STARS), because it was Very Disjointed, Very Many POV, and Very Episodic. and i know it’s bad when i think something is too episodic...i was ensaddened by that, too, because the premise seemed very cool, and it also didn’t deliver for me.
33. Did you DNF anything?
i did not!! unless you count the AFRICA: A BIOGRAPHY book that’s still languishing on my goodreads Currently Reading (i swear i’ll finish it someday, it’s just. today is Not That Day), or my ongoing HARROW reread, because i’m on page 294, currently. i am planning on remedying the HARROW DNF by tomorrow, though, so that probably doesn’t count either XD it also probably doesn’t count because i’m love harrow and the only reason my reread’s not finished yet is because of Time lol
i don’t, in general, DNF things, because even if they’re not sparking joy for me, i turn it into a Well Why? exercise and activate the writerly hat instead. i also read fast enough once i get going that it doesn’t feel like a time waste, and i thrive on a good cathartic Spite Read.
36. How many books did you buy?
oh coming for me with a KNIFE i see okay let’s go~~
criteria: books purchased this year (so i’m not counting preorders that were Delivered This Year), not gifted or as gifts (i tallied digitally-purchased gifts separately anyway, i had to, although in my defense i did do a lot more Knitting Gifts than Book Gifts this year so that number won’t be as high as it could be, and it’s mostly Bot by Volume), caveat criteria: i only actually tallied things i bought online, and i know i bought At Least Two Books IRL--two can probably be rounded up to five, but i didn’t actually enter too many bookstores and walk out with things this year because i know that’s Dangerous for my wallet.
method: i checked All The Websites i frequent for my book procuring needs. these are: 1. downbound, 2. barnes and noble, 3. bookshop, 4. prologue, and 5. HPB (also 6. brilliant books, but i didn’t buy anything from them this year). i tallied books as either purchases For Me, or Gifts.
results: look, i made a list:
prologue - 1 for me, 0 gifts
hpb - 0 for me, 1 boxed set (4 books) gift
bookshop - 3 for me, 0 gifts
b&n - 8 for me, 1 gift
downbound - 15 for me, 3 gifts
walking into physical bookstores, probably, conservatively: 5 for me, ?? gifts
bringing our grand total to: 32 for me, either 5 or 8 as gifts, depending on how you count the boxed set (all but 1 of the gift books was murderbot, btw)
that five (5) is Definitely Conservative, so probably truly i bought between 35 and 40 books this year, is my best guess, WHICH MEANS, i did, in fact, read more books than i purchased!! muahaha!! (we’re ignoring books i Was Gifted, also, because ahahaha yikes if we count those the books acquired to books consumed ratio is no longer weighted in the correct direction for knocking down my tbr)
thanks, friend, this was fun, DESPITE you coming for me with a naked blade XD !!!
#text#book games#books#ask games#answered#gaywinemommarianhawke#IT'S REALLY ACTUALLY NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HONESTLY#i got three books for christmas from parents and two from friend!!#i absolutely do not remember how many i got for my birthday XD

11/04/2022 DAB Transcript
Ezekiel 10:1-11:25, Hebrews 6:1-20, Psalms 105:16-36, Proverbs 27:1-2
Today is the 4th day of November welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I am Brian it is wonderful to be here with you today as we get ourselves moved into this brand-new month and continue putting one foot in front of the other, picking up where we left off and moving forward in the Scriptures. So, we are reading from the English Standard Version this week and we have moved into the book of Ezekiel. Today we will read Ezekiel chapters 10 and 11.
Commentary:
Okay. So, I have been listening to a lot of music that is old and actually this is kind of been going on for several years now. And it's not I only listen old music, but it's that I have found in the melodies of my childhood like all kinds of childhood memories are there attached to the songs. And, so, you know, I hear all the songs that I can kinda remember. I was just too little to really have favorite bands or favorite songs, but I can remember. And there was this song...I don't remember the name of it…maybe looking for love. I don’t know, but it was like looking…I'm looking for love in all the wrong places, I'm looking for love in too many faces, and that's about all I can remember from it. Like I can remember the melody but I won't…I won't offer that. I can remember being just a little guy and my mom kind of explaining the song to me like…like you don't ever look for love in the wrong places will you? Will…you won’t do that, will you? And of course, I said no and all of that. And, so, even that little piece of melody or piece of lyric that I can remember is attached to a memory of my mom trying to instruct her little…her little son in the way that he should go. And that sentiment is really found in what we read in the book of Proverbs today. And we had to verses. “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Let another phrase you and not your own mouth, a stranger and not your own lips.” Now we probably have been around or even know well people to listen to the sentiment and that proverb. These are people who are not waiting for others to praise them. They go seeking it out and that materializes in all kinds of ways. They will insert themselves into every conversation that they can get themselves into and they will flip that conversation onto themselves in short order, right? So, you’re talking to a friend, you’re comparing parenting notes, you’re talking about your kids and before you know it you're talking about their kids. And it's not really just comparing notes. The whole thing was shifted. Regardless of the topic, they’re listening to what you have to say. Even if you're pouring out your soul, they’re listening for the opportunity to dive in and begin to shift it. Even if it's just, you know, I know how that feels, I remember this one time when… And that’s it. Whatever you're going through is gone and now you're here to hear them talk. They’re looking for love in all the wrong places because the person who attaches themselves to other people, only to get validated or affirmed or loved and they to shift everything onto themselves in some kind of weird conversational maneuver so that five minutes later you…you go wait a second, we were talking about a totally different thing. How is that this keep…keeps getting shifted back onto something that you're going through? And so often comparison enters these kinds of conversations. You're going through something. They've gone through it, but they’re killing it now. They're doing awesome now. You should follow the pathways that they have taken to their bliss and superiority. And so often these things come from deep-seated places of actual insecurity, that just simply needs to be filled. We’re looking for love in all the wrong places. The proverb says, let another praise you and not your own mouth, a stranger and not your own lips. When we’re looking for love, affirmation, validation in all the wrong places, if it's something that we have to conjure up, if we have to arrive in a place, set up the lights, figure out where we’re gonna shine the lights on that seat, sit in that seat, and shine all the light on ourselves we’re looking the wrong places. And the irony is that people like that. And we may be a person like that. So, like we may have some inner work to do for some outer examination to just see how our communication style actually is and how it lands on people. We all know people like this. We are all a person capable of this, the grandstanding, the conceit, the bragging. And the funny thing is, when you're around a person like that you be kind, you can be tolerant, but you don't usually…like you usually walk away feeling like…ehhh…like what was that? And when you’ve had to move through a session like that and you had this conversation and then this conversation got flipped and switched and them you know it and then you know it going into the next one. You start building up this idea of what's gonna happen and you begin to avoid those kinds of situations. And, so, what the person actually needs, which is just to be seen or just to be heard, or just to be affirmed is being demanded and extracted from other people. And usually that's not appreciated and so it becomes repellent. And, so, the very thing that the person is looking for is the very thing that they can't get. After a while it runs its course and people begin to avoid. Usually what's actually needed is trusted, deep, loyal, abiding relationships and friendships with people that have permission to speak into our lives frankly and that have given us permission to speak lovingly and frankly and honestly into their lives. That feels a lot more like being seen and actually validated or affirmed then demanding it of people through bragging or hijacking conversations. Let another praise you the proverb says, not to run mouth, a stranger and not your own lips. And If we have a habit of doing that we need to take some time and ask why. What are we looking for? What are we going for? What are we lacking? What are we missing here? What…what are we demanding? What are we trying to get from people? What is so important to us that we will draw all kinds of attention to ourselves and even become false and pretend to be somebody else to be seen. Like what is that about? It seems to me that we are ultimately looking for, ultimately, is to know that our Father sees us and that He loves us and that that is the original cornerstone, like that is the foundational building block to our very identity. And if we skip that foundational cornerstone then…well…then we don't have a foundational cornerstone. And, so, we’re trying to fill in the gap in all kinds of ways, ways that ultimately push people away from us. So, let's spend some time with this idea today given to us from the book of Proverbs. It's like so many of the other things in the book of Proverbs. We can read them. We can understand them. But then we have to take some time for personal reflection and observe ourselves and pay attention to ourselves so that we can understand how to apply wisdom to ourselves. If we are looking for love in the wrong places, if we’re demanding it in the wrong ways, if we’re not able to see other people where they are and who they are and affirm them and love them then how is it that we think we can demand it back and that it be real? And if we don't understand that we have a loving Father that is fathering us through this life and have a sense of affirmation of His smile upon us we can go searching for all kinds of things in all kinds of places that end up being the wrong places and spend a lifetime wandering in the wilderness when we were loved all along and could've reflected that love out into the world instead of demanding all of the light be upon us and all of the affirmation being poured into our brokenness. So often we find healing in our own lives by offering healing in other people's lives. And so often it's so easy, so often it's just getting the attention off of ourselves and being present with another person. And, so, let's give that some thought, maybe even practice a little bit and see what happens as we seek first the kingdom, seek first the chance to be an ambassador for Jesus in this world, by loving one another and seeing if we don't, in fact reap what we sow.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, we invite You into that. We live in a culture that is very self-absorbed and that gets very validated. It really is all about us we are told and what we find in life is that really isn't, that we find meaning in our interactions and in our genuine affection and love for one another. And, so, when we use people to affirm ourselves then that's what we’re doing, using people, which is ultimately not giving us what we seek. Holy Spirit help us to love like You love and know that we are loved by You matter what. We pray this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Crave chapters 24-26
Click to see the rest of the snark & image descriptions
Chapter 24
Me: eye roll emoji
Please tell me she didn’t type out “eye roll emoji”.
Me: double eye roll emoji
*feral screaming*
Me: Triple eye roll emoji
ENOUGH. I’M ALREADY DEAD.
Me: I don’t know. I’m just waking up. My uncle must have decided I don’t have to go to class again today.
Exactly how many freaking days off is she going to have? Surely at some point, the author will run out of excuses.
…Right?
Oh my God. OmigodOmigodOmigod. Oh. My. God.
It’s been a while since I’ve proposed a book-themed drinking game, but…
New drinking game! Take a shot whenever a character “Ohmigod”s.
*This is a joke. Please do not do this.
Jaxon: I don’t think we’re there yet, but I’m sure you’ll let me know when we are
Way. Right. Answer
Chapter 24 summary: Grace wakes up last the next morning, and decides that her uncle must have allowed her yet another day off because of her ankle.
She has a bunch of texts from somebody who eventually identifies himself as Jaxon. He wants to know how her ankle is doing, but she refuses to answer until he plays along with one of her jokes. After she delivers the punchline, he offers up a joke of his own. She says that she still hurts some, but then excuses herself to use the restroom and take some pain meds.
When she gets back to her phone, Jaxon doesn’t reply. After a moment, somebody knocks on the door. It’s some random lady who has brought some food for Grace. Jaxon texts to say that he’d been taking a test, but that he also arranged for food to be sent up to her. He asks if she likes it, and she agrees. She asks him what kind of food he likes, but he’s like “THAT DIALOGUE IS BLOCKED. TO UNLOCK, GAIN MORE FRIENDSHIP POINTS.” Lol I wish he’d said that, rather than the vague, emo BS he said instead.
Chapter 25
“Oh my God! It was Jaxon! He talked Chef Janie into making you waffles. I didn’t even know that was possible—she’s really tough.”
She says this like she’s the only person in the school who cares that Grace has been through hell the past couple of months.
Janie might be “tough”, but she probably feels bad about Grace’s situation.
“Twilight? He sent me a copy of Twilight?”
Really? ARE WE REALLY DOING THIS?!
“If you don’t kiss that boy soon, I’m going to disown you.”
IT’S BEEN FOUR DAYS.
I stare after him, the scrolled-up piece of paper he gave me still in my hand. And wonder how on earth I’m going to keep this beautiful, broken boy from cracking my already battered heart wide open.
Chapter 25 summary: The first part of the chapter is nothing but Grace and Jaxon exchanging texts, and talking about their likes and dislikes. Before I can write the entire chapter off, however, Macy comes in during her lunch break.
She’s surprised that there are waffles there, and says that they only have them on Thursdays. And that they hardly ever have whipped cream. Grace admits that Jaxon ordered them brought up to her, which makes Macy squeal. There’s a lot of back and forth about how Grace should totally, like you know, go for it. I’m really, REALLY over how much padding is in this stupid book. Anyway, some random lady shows up, and Jaxon had sent her another delivery; this one of a copy of Twilight. UGH. CAN WE NOT.
Jaxon shows up after Macy leaves. Grace tells him some more bad jokes, and says that she inherited the trait from her mom, along with several physical features. He tells her that she’d better rest up so that he can take her to his favorite spot on campus tomorrow, and then leaves.
Chapter 26
Jaxon Vega just asked to sit next to me. In front of everyone. It really is a brave new world.
Chapter 26 summary: Looks like the author finally ran out of excuses, and Grace is finally starting in on her classes. Macy helps her put on the school uniform… well, she helps her to do the uniform tie.
Finn swings by to drop off Grace’s school schedule. Why all of that hadn’t been settled days ago is beyond me, but sure. Let’s give her the schedule like an hour before the first period. Finn stays to check up on his daughter, much to Macy’s mortification. Typical parent stuff, I suppose. It makes Grace kind of sad, but she tries to put on a brave face.
Macy and Grace go down some back stairs, and Grace sees more of the school. In the cafeteria, everything is all decked out for Halloween, which is like… a day or two away??? Or is it today? I can’t keep track. Anyway, it’s Halloween. Grace says her dad never liked halloween, but he’d always promised to tell her why “when she was older”. Now she’ll never know. (Early guess: daddy dearest knew about the vamps, too.)
Macy makes her sit down by herself while she goes to get Grace some breakfast. When she comes back with the food, the two of them talk about general stuff for a few minutes before Jaxon invites himself to sit next to Grace.

7/18/2022 DAB Chronological Transcription
Isaiah 23 - 27
Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible Chronological, I'm China. Today is the 18th day of July, welcome. What an honor and a pleasure it is to be here with you today. Today we are continuing our story in the book of of Isaiah with chapters 23 through 27, and we're reading from the English Standard Version.
Prayer
Lord, I thank you for your word today. And God, I thank you that we are in constant remembrance of how great and how mighty you are. And Lord, even the things that totally just blow our mind and captivate our attention and just continue to draw up wonder and awe of who you really are, not just who we're believing you to be. But I pray that we would have childlike faith and that in the things that we have questions about, we would seek you in and that we would find you. And Lord, I thank you that you are not a boring god. You are a vast and mighty and merciful and just loving Father. And I thank you that each and every day being in Your Word, there's more of you that gets revealed and there's more of us that is wanting more of you. And so I just thank you for that, that we're not stagnant in our face, that we are continuously growing and evolving and Lord, that's exciting and we are excited for that. And so Lord, we thank you for Your word and send your name, we pray, amen.

Community Prayer Line
Good night. DABC family. This is Abraham from Mexico. I would like to ask for two prayers. First and foremost for my family and me. We are not necessarily struggling but we are having some financial decisions we need to make and we have already prayed to the Lord to protect our finances and to provide us and bless us and everything that we need. But I will really ask if you could also pray for us because we do need it. We have been having some personal issues each one of us in our personal lives and we need to face them and fit them in the name of Jesus. And this is where the second favor comes in. In my case, I have been very scared and very anxious first of all for not being saved, so thinking I'm playing just a game and not being a real Christian and due to sin and some Bible verses I sometimes receive. But on the other hand, when I ask God for confirmation, he always sends Bible verses to confirm observation. So I'm confused and it's something that it really bothers me in my soul and I just want to be in peace. I don't want to have on the beef. I don't want to lose my face. I don't want to leave him. I don't want to be in a prostate. I really don't want to. All I want is to keep all I want is to be here with you and him and never leave him. I want to stay until I die, when I die, to be in heaven with Christ and not without him. Please pray for me so that everything will be fine. Thank you.
Good morning, DABber family. This is the running bush that will not be devoured for the glory of our guide and king. This morning I'm calling in with a prayer request for my niece. Her name is Jammen, her husband Mark and her baby Micahid in the UK. Just praying that they recover quickly and that God will protect that old baby and his older brother, who should be about six years old now, praying for protection and healing in their household. Thank you guys for joining us in prayer. I love you all. Bye.
Hello, DABC. Calling in to pray for Marla over her job. Lord, please be with Marla. Give her wisdom in this situation, minister to her the right steps, give her peace. If this new change in position is what your will is, I pray she will catch on very quickly. Give her peace, insurance, comfort and strength, lord, as she seeks you and what to do next over this job. Lord. Marla also would like to give you a scripture. Joshua one nine. My next thing is I'd like to say tanya from Suffolk, what an encourager you are. Keep doing what you do, sister, for the Lord. Everyone have a great day.
Hello, my DABC family. This is Sonia in Austin, Texas. And I just want to call in for the lady who lost her brother and anyone else that is going through the loss of a loved one who has passed on. I know we all mean well when we say we don't have to grieve. We can be happy because we know where they're at. But Jesus even grieved when Lazarus was dead. He grieved. So obviously that is an emotion that we're going to go through. Even if we know where they're at. We're grieving for our loss and that's okay. Please don't ever feel guilty that you cannot grieve. You grieve in your way and it takes as long as it takes because you're grieving your loss of missing them, upholding them, of seeing them, of talking to them, of just knowing they're around. And so it is absolutely 100% okay to grieve. Yes, we know that they're in a better place. We understand that we can still grieve. So just know that we love you and that we're praying for you and we support you. Why? While you grieve. And each and every one of us over time will go through grief of the ones that we love. As we get older, it's going to become more and more common. But that doesn't take the grief away. So just allow yourself to do that. And remember, when people tell you that you should be happy, just remember.
Good morning. This is Julie from Southern Illinois. I'm calling for our Sister in Christ from Houston, who called with a praise report of being registered in the state of Texas. It is such a comfort and encouragement that at the age of 46 years old, you started over. The DABC family is in agreement with you, Sister. God is faithful and so amazing. We pray that God will lead you to where he wants you to be. Continue to praise Him, and I will continue to lift you up in prayer. Congratulations, Sister. Go out and do great things.

HOME: Book 5 - CHAPTER SEVEN
MASTERLIST
“Alright, so I’ll be here after practice, okay?”
“Charlie, I’ll be fine to walk back to the castle myself! You can just meet me in the Great Hall.”
“No way! After this morning’s mixup? Absolutely not.” Veronica rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to argue, but Charlie wasn’t taking no for an answer. “I’ll see you after practice. Now go. We can’t have the Captain showing up late.”
Veronica’s eyebrows furrowed as she cocked her head to the side. “What do you mean? I’m not the Captain… Emily is.”
Charlie couldn’t hide the panic in his voice despite how hard he tried to keep it off his face. “Ron, what are you talking about? Emily graduated last year and you’ve been the Captain for the last three months. Seriously, are you feeling okay today? Maybe you should cancel practice, and we’ll go to the Hospital Wing and have Madam Pomfrey–”
Veronica shook her head adamantly. “No, no, no! I’m fine… I remember now! It’s like you said, it’s a combo of too much stress and not enough sleep. I’ll skip dinner tonight and go straight to bed after practice, and I’ll be right as rain tomorrow.”
“You will do no such thing! You haven’t eaten a single thing today as you’ve insisted on skipping breakfast and lunch. I’ve let it go, but I will not have you skipping dinner too. I’ll meet you here after practice at 8:30 PM sharp. We’ll go to the Great Hall and eat something quickly, and then I’ll walk you to Ravenclaw Tower. If you’re still like this tomorrow, I’ll drag you down to the Hospital Wing kicking and screaming if I have to, but one way or another, Madam Pomfrey WILL give you a good, thorough check up.”
“Charlie–”
“Don’t ‘Charlie’ me, Singer. Something serious is going on here, and you can ignore it all you want, but I can’t. Now go to practice, and I’ll be here when you’re done.”
Charlie turned without waiting for a response and walked away down the path back towards the castle. Veronica shook her head, but she had a huge smile on her face. She loved his protective side, especially when it was for her.
Making her way into the changing room tent, Veronica found her team already in their Quidditch robes with their brooms in hand. She quickly changed into her own robes and then led them onto the pitch, instructing them to take their positions in the air before joining them herself.
“Simon, what are you doing in front of the goalposts? Get over there with the Chasers.”
Veronica realized her mistake before Simon had the chance to fly over and whisper, “Captain… what do you mean? Have you moved me back to playing Chaser? I totally trust your judgment if you think that’s what needs to happen, but it would have been nice for you to let me know instead of just springing it on me in front of everyone.”
Veronica rubbed her face frustratedly. “No… I’m sorry, Simon. I just got confused for a second there and mixed things up. You’re still our Keeper, don’t worry.”
“Oh, phew. Thank Merlin,” Simon chuckled before flying back over to his position in front of the goalposts.
Despite the cool autumn air surrounding her, Veronica felt sweat flowing down her back even though they hadn’t even begun the practice yet. She took her robes off and draped it over her broom, leaving her in only her Quidditch uniform, but she could still feel the heat radiating off her skin. Attempting to ignore it, she addressed her team. “Alright Hufflepuffs, I–”
“Ravenclaws! Veronica, we’re Ravenclaws!”
The Captain’s hands flew to her face, and her head tipped up towards the sky as she gave a big sigh. She really couldn’t understand what was wrong with her, but she was beginning to think Charlie was right. “Bloody hell…” Shaking her head softly, she took a deep breath and slowly dragged her hands down her face. “I knew that… Sorry team! Just a bit distracted today! RAVENCLAWS, let’s see a practice game.”
As the rest of the team began their practice, Reggie flew over to his Captain with a worried look on his face. “V, what’s up with you today? You’ve been acting so strange, and you look awful– sorry, no offense. But seriously, what’s going on?”
“Honestly, I don’t know. I’ve been feeling a bit off for the last week, but today’s just been awful. I can’t get anything right. I’m constantly confused and mixing things up; I even thought your name was Roger when you first flew over here. I’m literally dripping in sweat even though it’s cold out, and because I’m sweating in cold weather, I’m shivering uncontrollably. I seriously… I don’t know what’s going on, Reggie.”
“Alright, Veronica. Don’t panic. You’ll be fine. I want you to slowly fly back down to the ground. I don’t want you falling off your broom; you look very pale, and I’m afraid you may pass out. When you get down, I want you to just sit on the pitch and wait for me. I’m going to very calmly cancel this practice so as not to worry anybody, and then I’ll take you to the Hospital Wing. I’m sure Madam Pomfrey can fix you up in no time.”
“That sounds like a great plan, Reg, but… why are you spinning?”
“V… I’m not spinning.”
“Oh… well… that must just be in my head then. Honestly… I think I might already be fainti–”
Veronica’s eyes rolled back, and her body went limp. Reggie quickly grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into his side, supporting her weight against him and his broom to prevent her from falling and flew them both down to the ground. At that point, there was nothing he could do to prevent the panic and fear amongst his teammates, but he didn’t have time to worry about that. He needed to get her to the Hospital Wing right away.
