okay now that ik we’re doing this fr LMFAO def gonna need a labor and delivery blurb w y/n & tom i can def see it being chaotic and hilarious 😭 & then all the girls + the boys meet baby mia 🥺🥺
Missin this series 🥺 check out Make Me Love You in my bio for more of this ☺️
"Shit…" Tom stumbles, eyes still puffy from sleep, hair still a mess, and you're pretty sure the shoes he just put on are reversed but… he's ready for this baby and with the pain you're currently in, so are you. He grabs your hand and the baby bag by the door before he's heading out, unlocking the car. He takes a deep breath, 
"Can't believe we'll be bringing our baby girl home in the same car we fucked in in college." He murmurs. You groan, 
"The thought of sex right now makes me want to give you a vasectomy myself." He swallows, not responding before he's helping you into the car. It's deep breaths all the way to the hospital and you can hear Tom's phone vibrate with the texts from the group chat, following his announcement that you were in fact, in labor. 
Tom let's you squeeze his hand, coaxing you through the pain as you push. He strokes sweaty strands of hair from your face, 
"Doing so good darling. You're almost there." He tells you, kissing your cheek. And he's right. In two more pushes, a wail cuts the air, and Tom glances up to see his baby girl being laid on a towel. He's quickly handed scissors to cut her umbilical cord before she's ushered away to be cleaned and have her vitals taken. 
Soon enough, the three of you are left alone, Tom watching you drag your top down, your little girl latching to your nipple without a hitch. He worms his way behind you, resting his chin over your shoulder. He watches Mia suckle, your head coming to rest back against his shoulder, 
"You two are so beautiful." He murmurs, kissing your jaw. You hum, 
"I don't feel beautiful. I feel gross." You murmur. He chuckles, 
"You could never be gross. You'll always be beautiful. And look at this." He reached out and strokes Mia's head, "How could you feel gross when you just brought this into the world?" He poses. Glancing up at him, he stares down at her for a moment longer before his eyes meet yours,
"She is pretty perfect huh?" You pose. He nods,
"Almost as perfect as her mother."
"No, she's much more perfect than her mommy. Look at that little face." You trail a finger across her cheek. He smiles, 
"She is very beautiful darling." He mumbles. Laying your head back against his shoulder, you sigh, 
"That was… the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I am so tired." You murmur. He kisses your bare shoulder, 
"You deserve the world ya know." You hum, 
"I deserve sleep. You can have your skin to skin because I'm about to pass out." He chuckles, 
"Once she's done feeding, I'll take her." He tells you. You nod. 
It doesn't take long for her to finish and stare up at the both of you so inquisitively, it makes your heart heart. Tom takes her once he's shed his shirt and once you've snapped a few photos of the two of them, it's easy to slip into peaceful, much needed sleep.
A few days later, you're discharged, watching Tom strap your little girl into her carseat. You smile down at him, 
"Look at that Mia, mommy isn't the only girl that can crumble your daddy to his knees." He grumbles, sighing when you brush your fingers along his shoulder,
"I'm kidding love. Promise." He nods before he's standing straight, hoisting the car seat up. You coo down at your baby who stares up at you with gorgeous, sparkling, chocolate eyes. Tom slings your baby bag over his shoulder, worry flashing in his eyes at the backpack you sling over your own shoulder, 
"Tommy, it has stupid stuff in it. It's light." He swallows and nods, 
"Fine…" He takes your hand and leads you out of the room, keeping a close eye on you until Mia is strapped into the middle seat, and you're buckled in beside her. 
Of course he drives way under the speed limit, but it's fine because with Mia's fingers wrapped around one of your own and her eyes blinking in the light while she suckles her pacifier, you're lost in her. Soon enough, he's parking, taking her carseat and the duffel up the stairs to your apartment. He toes the door open, leading you inside. Once you set foot in the door, you gasp, 
"Surprise!" The group yells, Tom's smile somehow widening. You gasp, 
"Guys…" Ivey giggles before she's trotting forward, pulling you into her arms. She spots Mia, cooing as she crouches in front of Tom to see her in her little carseat. Keaton has moved to pull you into his arms, kissing your temple, 
"How are you feeling?" He asks. You nod,
"Fine. Sore but… she's worth it." You explain to him. He smiles and drapes his arm over your shoulders as Cole's hand slides across your lower back, 
"Oh my goodness… hi sweet girl. She is gorgeous guys." Ivey says. Tom smiles before he's setting her down and unclipping her from her carseat, 
"Would you like to hold her?" He asks Ivey who looks up at him, teary eyed,
"Really?" Tom nods,
"Course." Tom can tell that the hormones from being so early into her own pregnancy has her weepy. Harrison comes to stand behind her as she takes your baby girl into her arms, cradling her close, 
"Your mommy's bump was so big but you're so tiny baby girl." She tells her. Tom chuckles, watching his best friend's wife, and his wife's best friend coddle his first baby, 
"She really is. My biceps are bigger than she is." Harrison murmurs, 
"And that's why she's small." Tom tells him. He reaches out and smacks your husband, 
"Asshole." Keaton sits down on the couch with you still under his arm. Cole takes the seat next to you, gesturing to Tom, 
"How was he?" You nod, 
"Good. He was a great partner to have. Super supportive. And whenever I needed sleep, he took her." He nods,
"Good." You nod, watching Tom stroke little tufts of hair from your daughter's forehead as she rests her head over Ivey's shoulder. You smile, 
"He's gonna be an amazing dad." You murmur. Keaton nods, 
"I believe it." 
"Yeah… he's decent enough." Cole murmurs. You giggle, resting your head over his shoulder. He sighs, 
"Mom would be… so proud of you." He tells you. You smile, 
"I know." Scarlett comes to sit in Cole's lap, his arms binding around her as she leans in and hugs you, 
"You and Holland made the most beautiful little girl. She's so perfect and we're all obsessed and I wanna know when it's my turn to take her and love her." 
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's a lot all at once. Don't you think the new parents should have their fill of her first? Besides… all she'll do is sleep, you wait until she's like two, fill her with sweets, and then drop that ticking time bomb back off here." You glare at your older brother who shrugs,
"Strictly to her father though. Not her mother because I'd like to keep my balls." You roll your eyes, 
"It'll always fall back on me." 
"Hey, that's not true. We're a team." Tom mumbles, nearing you. You stare up at him as he leans in and kisses you softly, 
"We're a team." He reiterates. You nod, 
"Yeah, fine." Ivey and Harrison share the chair in the corner, one of his hands pressed to her belly, the other cradling Mia's head. You smile at them,
"Speaking of great parents." Tom nods as he slides down to the floor. You run your fingers through his hair. Cole nudges your side, 
"And just like that, you're a mom." You smile,
"And just like that she's got a protective little crew." Cole nods, 
"Three step moms and four step dads." You giggle and nod, 
"The best." With everyone crowded into your living room, pawing all over your new baby girl, it's just like old times. It's just like college, add a baby girl. And it's perfect.

Something I could get used to. I could get used to this. It's getting harder to leave it. Your lips on my lips. Woah, I can't believe it. How good it could be. Didn't wanna believe it. But now you are all I see. Hey, wait a minute. No, you can't do this to me. Wait a minute. No, that's not fair. Hey, wait a minute. You're on me like jewelry. I really like you, but I'm so scared. Why'd you have to go and make me like you? Yeah, this is a feeling I'm not used to. Why'd you have to go and make me like you? I'm so mad at you 'cause now you got me missing you. Why'd you have to go and make me like you? Yeah, this is a feeling I'm not used to. Why'd you have to go and make me like you? I'm so mad at you 'cause now you got me missing you.

“I think one of my favorite songs on the record is ‘Rare’ and I think that’s because that song feels so different for me. The subject matter is such a positive, hopeful, happy song, but you can tell that it was born out of pain – so I love that song.”
Marie France Asia, April 2016
“‘Rare’ would probably be one of my all-time favorites. I wrote it in like two hours so that was like crazy to me to think that a song that good was written like magically at that point. That was only written at the end of January.”
PopCrush Nights, March 2016
“This is my favorite song on the new record. It’s for you and Blake.” 
This Is What the Truth Feels Like Tour, Wantagh, NY, July 2016
“This song is super, super important to me.”
This Is What the Truth Feels Like Tour, Bristow, VA, July 2016
“This song is called ‘Rare’. It’s about my favorite person.”
This Is What the Truth Feels Like Tour, Kansas City, MO, August 2016
Q: “Besides your own, what are some songs that have meant the most to you in this past year?”
B: “There’s a song on Gwen’s record called ‘Rare’. I don’t know if you’ve heard that one, but for me it’s like, ‘Wow’. There were several songs that she wrote about all of our stuff… And also ‘Go Ahead and Break My Heart,’ that’s another one that has meant a lot to me.”
BSers Lounge, Oklahoma City, September 2016

But this negativity re radio playing the song is not based on any past experience. The last songs G sent to radio were the singles from This Is What The Truth Feels Like and they were all successful. Use to Love You peaked at number 77 in Hot 100. It peaked at number 10 in Adult Top 40. It peaked at number 21 on the Adult Contemporary chart. MMLY and Misery did very good as well. Everyone can look at the numbers for specific songs on wiki. Gwen was 46 at this time. nowhere near under 35
I hope this is your ask. And please, do ask us to look if we miss something. I love that you did that. Also, good use of bolding and color, anon.

“It just came out. It was like, I had been feeling that way. It's just exactly what I felt that day, ‘I miss you right now. Here it is.’”
Good Morning America, April 2016
“It was so fun to be able to write about being saved, and be happy about it, and share that joy.”
CBS Sunday Morning, March 2016
“[The music video] has a lot of symbolism of my life as well. Because it starts off like I’m in a crash. I have a jail kind of outfit on. And then I’m kinda like, ‘Woah, what’s happening in my life?’ I start gaining confidence and then by the end it’s like victory. Like I’m in the heavens, you know what I mean. It was just such an amazing, I don’t know, like artistic version of what just happened, y’know.”
Mornings with Carson Daly (KAMP-FM), February 2016
“We came up with a bunch of ideas that people who are true fans would be able to pick up on. And [Blake’s sign] was just one of the things that became a talking point, which was one of the intentions. And it was cute.”
Refinery29, March 2016
“It’s really cool for me last year and the early part of this year to stand on the sidelines and watch the process of Gwen making an album. I used to think that I worked hard on making an album until I saw the way she does it. And literally it’s like she’s in military school or something. I mean, we’re talking about waking up every day, six am, you know, take care of the kids and get them off to school, and then go straight to the studio and work non-stop all day long, just writing every day for months. And course everybody does that that has a job but when you’re in a creative world, it’s really hard to have something to show for it at the end of the day.”
“Gwen was coming back every day, or texting me and letting me know that she had written a new song almost every day. Sometimes two songs a day, which is just impossible. If you’re listening to this and you’re somebody in the music industry, you realize how almost crazy that is. But all of these songs were incredible, you know, and each one would knock out the last one as far as just a different level of greatness. And I’ll never forget, I remember, she said, ‘Hey, I wrote a song about you.’ I downloaded the song on my e-mail and I listened to it and it was this song right here. It’s called Make Me Like You.”

i don't remember the Ashley Monroe thing at all where she talked about blake changing his number
I thought I remembered her doing it twice (also interesting).. the first time was about the Grammys. She was asked about hanging out with Blake and she talked about hearing from him, from a new number, when the nominations were announced. She said she didn’t know who it was until the ‘Ashley, we’re going to the Grammys!’ And the interviewer was like, so you get to hang out with him? And Ashley, who was there, said how she actually wasn’t sure he was coming. He didn’t. He instead went and watched Gwen perform her live video of MMLY as a Grammy commercial.
The second time was when her dog went missing. She was being interviewed and talked about how Blake reached out to console her from a new phone number, and then he posted on social media about her lost dog.
It’s been a long time but that’s what I remember.
Any guesses on how many times Blake had to change his number after ML? Because my theory is still that Phara gave her his number again around the Elvis taping time and that’s why she and Blake and Gwen parted ways. Hence ML’s “drunk dialed my ex husband” lyric with the save face add on “don’t remember a thing”. Sure you do. You really wanted a cowboy with a jet and got denied.

Gwen sharing her songs with Blake
Been going through a lot of old Blake (Shefani) interviews.  Just finished listening to Blake as the guest DJ for Beats back in late June 2015.  He says he is basically playing songs off his ipod.  Of course one was GAABMH.  He also talks about how relentless Gwen was in the studio writing songs in those days where they were already in contact with one another.  His statement of how each new song was better than the next, seems to imply she was sending them to him to listen to as she wrote them.  Of course he played MMLY after stating that she sent it to him with a note saying she just wrote a song about him.....  Another insight in to how and why their relationship moved so fast.  She is basically opening her heart to him from pretty much the very beginning.

One of my fave B&G clips is the one after Gwen’s MMLY Grammy performance, I just love the way they hugged and Blake’s blushing, and the one from voice battles s9 when Gwen says I’m an emotional girl and Blake’s look while biting his lips🔥 also from battles when Gwen and Blake are fighting for that girl with glasses, and who can forget the infamous Hotline Bling with Pharrell’s laugh😄 honestly whole s9 is a gem from Blake’s intense looks and Gwen’s flirty moves to Pharrell being a third wheel😂
Season 9 of the Voice was an experience, that’s for sure. Watching the slow progression of Blake and Gwen from strangers going through a divorce to two people in a new relationship was wild. I wonder if they ever watch clips from that season together and laugh. They were honestly really bad at hiding the fact that they had feelings for each other!
Here’s some of my favorite clips from that season that I can find on Youtube
