𝑺𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝟏 𝑬𝒑𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒅𝒆 𝟔: 𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒔 (𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝟐)

I finally got the chance to finish writing and publishing this part at like 15 til 3am on July 27, 2024

"The Restons just got home after 5 years of being away. Those factory guys hung out at a bar after work."

Oliver and Diggle rounded a corner.

"I'm going down there. Hopefully, Derek Reston wants to take a stroll down memory lane."

Oliver pressed a button on the elevator once they had stopped in front of it.

"And if by some miracle Reston's there?" Diggle asked as the door opened.

"I'm gonna give him the chance to do the right thing."

He looked away, avoiding a scoff. "Oliver, he already had his chance to do the right thing."

"It's called not being a criminal."

"This is happening because of my father."

He looked at Diggle, there was guilt written on his face. "Because of my family."

"No. You're worried about the wrong thing. It's not your fault." Dig said

"The Restons aren't the victims."

His resolve was just as strong in his ways, "My family stole from this city. They hurt the people in it. "

"And I am hellbent on making that right."

Oliver walked in the elevator.

And as the doors closed in front of him, "For Derek Reston, that means giving him the chance to make it right."

Back at CNRI Tommy and Laurel were planning stuff for the benefit as they sat across one another at a table.

She let out a light yawn.

"Hey, don't fade on me now."

"We have about 10,000 more decisions to make." 

Tommy looked at Laurel, "Now cake... chocolate or mocha?"

"Hm.. Carrot." She responded

"Are you sure about that? Because Bugs Bunny hasn't RSVP'd yet."

She smiled as she let out a little laugh.

He inquiries, along with her own detective mind went on gear, "Tommy. Why the full-court press?"

"Asking me to Coast City, the fundraiser... Why now?"

He looked down as he took a moment to consider what he'd say, then he looked back up again.

"You know... I was in a bar last week, and I was talking to this girl.."

"Things were progressing, if you know what I mean."

"No, you're too subtle." She said sarcastically.

She smiled as she watched him talk.

"Anyway, we finally get back to her place, and I realize all of a sudden... That I had been there before."

"Been with her before. Two years ago."

"Just didn't remember."

Her expression was neutral, but she still listened.

"So I left."

"You know, I remember some of the mornings when you and I were together.."

"And I made you omelets." He smiled as he looked at her.

And of course she smiled back.

"And I'd be in your kitchen, thinking to myself.... this isn't just fun."

"This is more than fun... This is different."

"I never felt that way with anybody else... And I miss it."

She looked at him before he looked away and turned his attention back to his paperwork. She took a breath as she also looked away.

"Not Mocha. Carrot?" He said

"Carrot." she agreed.

Derek Reston was at the bar, at a table. He was playing Poker with three others, and was laughing as he had just played a winning hand.

"Okay fellas.. Thanks for playing." He said as the other three got up to move elsewhere.

Oliver cleared his throat as he took a seat across from Derek, "Mind if I sit in?"

There was slight surprise on his face as he looked up, "Oliver Queen."

He sounded less than thrilled when he spoke, "The Prodigal Son Returns."

"I didn't figure you for someone who would hang out in The Glades."

"My father used to bring me here after we visited the factory."

"There was a Pac-Machine in the back," He smiled

"I had the high score for two months."

"The last time I saw your dad, he was making a speech. Telling my crew not to believe all the gossip." 

"That there was 𝘯𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘺 Queen Consolidated was moving production to China. A week later, they closed the doors." The anger was starting to rise in Derek's voice as he looked at Oliver, the reminder of the man that screwed him over.

"I didn't even get the two weeks vacation pay due me."

Oliver looked at him and spoke calmly, "My father made mistakes."

"He hurt people."

"When people are hurt, people are in trouble, they tend to make the wrong choices." A look of realization crossed Derek's face.

"Right Derek?"

"But those choices don't have to define you. They don't have to define who your family will be."

"Because there's always one moment when you can turn it around."

"If my father had another chance..."

"I think he'd do things differently."

"But time ran out for him."

"How poetic." He responded.

"That doesn't help me get back my house, now does it?"

No, it doesn't."

"No, all I can offer you is an apology and a job."

He looked up at Oliver.

"Queen Consolidated has subsidiaries all over the country."

"I make one phone call, you start next week."

"So what do you say?"

Derek sat back in his chair, "How about I still have some pride left?"

"I don't need charity from the man who screwed me over."

"Okay." Oliver said as he reached into his pocket, he had pulled out a business card of Queen Consolidated.

"If you change your mind.."

He stood up, "You and I have one thing in common."

"We're both dealing with the consequences of my father's actions."

"What he did then.. That's on him."

"What we do now, that's on us." he said as he handed over the business card.

As he walked off he dropped a bugging device in his coat pocket.

Back in the hideout, Oliver was listening closely to the audio files.

"I've been  thinking baby, maybe you were right..." Derek's voice was first.

"Maybe it's time to hang it up, retire."

"But Kyle says we do one more or he'll go out on his own." The woman said

"Well, if that's what he wants to do, that's his right, but you and me and Teddy, we're out."

"I want to quit too, but I am not leaving without Kyle." Diggle walked in and Oliver clicked off of the audio. 

"What's this?" Diggle asked

"I dropped a bug in Derek Reston's jacket." He said as he looked up

"I thought you were going to give the man a second chance."

"that's what I believe in... But I also believe in covering all my bases."

He continued playing the audio as he clicked a button.

"Derek, we can't abandon our son. After all this time, he wants to end up a winner." The woman said

"Set for life."

"Otherwise, what was the point?"

Derek sighed, "All right. One more."

Oliver closed his eyes and looked down in disappointment before opening them again.

"Now what?" Diggle asked

"We take them down."

➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴

Oliver and Diggle made their way to the benefit, in the background, 'One More Night' by Maroon 5 was playing as they met by the stairs.

"Monitor the Restons with this." Oliver said as he handed Diggle an earpiece

"When you get a line on their plans, we move."

"And you're gonna do another abrupt exit?" Diggle asked as he clipped the earpiece on his ear.

"I'm getting better at it with practice."

Diggle lightly chuckled as Oliver turned to go inside, and he followed him.

On the inside one of the servers was walking past, and Tommy took the final glass of Champagne off the tray.

"Honey, keep the alcohol flowing." He said as she continued on her way.

He smiled as he spotted Laurel from across, making her way over to him.

"I can't- Wow." He was practically speechless as he saw her.

"You just look really lovely."

"Lovely. Well, it's nice that you've extended your vocabulary from words like hot and mega hot." She responded, her usual snark present. A thing both Oliver and Tommy loved about her.

"You can just say thank you. You know." He responded

She placed her hand on him, between his shoulder and chest. "Thank you."

"You know?" She smiled

As she backed up and the music continued, their attention was drawn to Joanna who came by saying, "Tommy, this is wonderful."

"It means the world to us."

They smiled and from behind them he say Thea talking to a lady.

"Oh, god. Excuse me, just for a second." He said as he began to make his way over to Thea.

"Excuse me." He walked through

Joanna was surprised a bit, but looked over to Laurel. "So?"

"Okay. Maybe you were right."

"Thank you for coming. " he said to Thea as he hugged her, then kissed her on the cheek.

"Thank you for inviting me." She hugged him back

"Well.. I figured the entire Queen family and their check books should be present.

"Oh right. And how's that going for you so far?" She asked sarcastically

"It is going amazing," he smiled

"And all thanks to you."

"Thea Queen. The unlikely voice of reason."

She was flattered, "Little old me?"

"What did I do?"

"You gave me that great advice."

He looked over to Laurel and Joanna, "I thought about what the girl was interested in, and..."

"And you did this for Laurel.." Her voice wasn't thrilled and her face carried a fake smile.

He was excited and happy, "And it's working."

"Thanks Speedy." He hugged her from the side

"Yeah. Anytime."

As he walked off, she also walked off.

One More Night was still playing as she moved.

She grabbed a glass of wine from a server tray and chugged it.

Carter Bowen walked up to Laurel and Tommy who were standing together.

"Oh Tommy, do you remember Carter Bowen from high school?"

"Oh yeah. Sure I do." He replied as he shook his hand.

Laurel smiled at Tommy.

"So glad you could make it."

Carter ignored Tommy completely and moved onto Laurel, taking them by surprise. Tommy was a little offended and Laurel was too, but slightly less expressive.

"It is so great to see you, you look amazing."

"I gotta say I'm impressed with the work that you and CNRI are doing." 

Tommy looked to Laurel

"Thanks Carter." She responded

Tommy looked back to Carter as he finally acknowledged him. "You know, I've actually been thinking about starting a free clinic down here in the Glades."

"Really?" Tommy asked, a slight irritation in his voice

He was ignored again as Carter's attention went back to Laurel, the girl he hoped to have. But would never get.

"Can we grab a couple drinks and I'll tell you what I'm thinking." Carter directed to Laurel

"That sounds great." she replied, taking his arm and following after him.

She smiled back at Tommy. Tommy smiled a fake one to her, until she could no longer see him and his expression saddened.

Elsewhere, Moira was drinking from a glass of champagne talking to someone in front of her, before Oliver came behind her and whispered, "Hi."

She looked back, saw Oliver and looked to him surprised before returning to the person in front saying, "Excuse me."

She turned back to Oliver, "Well.. I'm surprised you made it tonight, given your hectic schedule."

"Mom. I messed up with the Bowens yesterday." He replied

"I made you a promise, and I couldn't keep it."

"Well, it's nothing new for you, Oliver." she did little to hide the unpleasant tone.

"I know you and I have had our difficulties, but despite all my many mistakes... I always thought that you and I had a connection."

He tried to speak up, but she continued. "So can you imagine.."

"Just imagine after being granted the miracle of having my child returned to me.."

"That you seem to have little or no interest in being with me or telling me the truth." She looked down, as she was upset.

Oliver was about to speak up, but Diggle walked by.

"Ma'am."

She looked away, already knowing where this was going.

"Redwood United Bank. Gonna try a nighttime hit." He whispered into Oliver's ear.

Dig walked off and Oliver looked conflicted as he considered his choice.

"I have to go." He finally said

She was still upset.

"I'm sorry-" She interrupted him, "No. Don't bother apologizing."

"Honestly Oliver. There are times when I wonder why you bother coming home at all." She said as she turned back around.

He sighed before walking away.

There was a night time security guard surveying the interior of Redwood United Bank. He had a flashlight as he moved around.

He was snuck up on from behind, where King cocked a gun to catch his attention. It worked as he turned to face him.

Ace went up behind him and jumped, placing a cloth of presumably chloroform on his mouth. There was a short struggle before he was out.

They placed a charge on the vault after he was knocked out and blew the vault open.

There was a small explosion and they took light cover from it.

The two lifted their masks over their heads. Kyle and Derek walked into the vault and began filling their bags with money.

"Three minutes." Derek said

'Okay." Kyle responded

The moved as quickly as they could.

Suddenly they heard a creaking noise. This jolted Derek's attention out of what he was doing.

"You hear that?" Kyle asked

The two exchanged looks then around.

"I'll check it out." Kyle said

"Alright." Derek replied as Kyle flipped his mask back down.

He grabbed his shotgun and walked out of the vault. He looked up front where the security guard was still unconscious.

He took a few more head turns as he looked around, it was clear until he rounded a corner. The hood was waiting for him there.

"Kyle Reston." He said as he drew his bow and Kyle looked on in surprise.

He shot an arrow and he blocked it with a clear shield. It bounced off backwards. 

"I came prepared." Kyle responded.

Kyle then began firing his automatic at the hood, who rushed and vaulted over desks for cover from the bullet barrage.

Derek heard the gunfire as he continued putting the money in the bag.

As the shooting continued, The Hood rolled over another desk/barrier.

Ace lost sight of the hood, so he stopped firing as he panned out to look for him. He took a shot as he walked, hoping to draw him out. It didn't work, so he continued to look.

He took a few steps back and looked off to the side. 

Derek flipped down his mask and walked out of the vault.

The Hood shot an arrow that landed between his shoulder and his chest.

"Uh!" Grunted Ace, who used the shield to break it off.

Ace charged at him with the shield, and another arrow was shot. And that same arrow bounced off to the side again.

He rammed into the hood and pushed him through three panes of glass as he shoved him into the wall.

Outside, the other two waited in a van and heard a siren in the distance, causing them to look out of the vehicle. There was a slight nervous expression to cross the younger boy's face.

"It's okay." The mother said

"It's gonna be okay." she reassured him.

The night guard was coming back into consciousness as he heard the Hood and Ace trading blows in a fistfight.

The Hood flipped Ace over a plant.

"Ugh!" He got back and hit him with his shield.

The hood kicked him back in the gut.

The guard got up to his feet and moved off as the fight continued, the Hood hit him with his bow then kicked him across.

He blocked another swipe from the hood's bow with his shield. The Hood flipped over with a backflip and sweep kicked Ace down.

He rolled to the ground.

The nightguard came out holding a shotgun saying, "No." as he had it aimed at the scene in front of him.

"Hey, I got this." The hood calmly said to him

King came from out of the back, and The Hood shot his gun out of his hand with an arrow.

"Drop your weapon! Now!" The night guard called out to Ace.

He fired.

"NO!" King shouted, jumping in front of the bullet meant for his son.

The Hood finished his fist fight with Ace by knocking him out with a punch.

The guard lowered the shotgun.

The Hood realized Derek had been shot as he heard him groan and write on the ground.

"He's bleeding out. Call an ambulance."

The guard just stood there, so the hood shouted, "NOW!"

The guard raced off to make the call.

Derek was gasping repeatedly, so the Hood removed his mask.

He held his hand over his own wound as he forced the words out, "Kyle. Kyle."

Oliver removed his hood.

"He's okay. He's just knocked out."

"It.. it wasn't his fault. I turned my son into this."

Flashback

There was the clicking of a gun, when it didn't go off... Oliver angrily threw it.

"Of course it doesn't work. I'm hallucinating." He was irritated

"Or.. I'm dreaming."

"But if you weren't.." Robert said

"You betrayed me Oliver."

"I died so you could live. And you threw that gift away."

"You made that sacrifice empty."

Oliver was tired, "I'm not you."

"I'm not."

"I'm not strong like you.."

"I never was."

"I told you, I'm not the man you think I am." Robert said as he turned around.

"The things.. I've done."

"What I was about to do.."

Oliver walked after him, "Dad...Dad?"

"What does that mean?" 

"Please?"

"I don't know what that means." He said as Robert turned back around to face him.

"I told you." He pointed directly at his son.

"I begged you."

"Right my wrongs!" He raised his voice.

Oliver looked down,

"This is your responsibility now." Robert said

"How?" Oliver asked

"How do I do this?"

A smile of utter exhaustion crossed his face, "I can't even get off this island."

He walked to Oliver and placed his hands on his shoulders, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth about me."

"But I hope...you know that I love you."

➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳

Back in the present, Derek passed as he closed his eyes and the sirens closed in.

Oliver put his hood back on, got up and rushed off.

An armored team came in, Detective Hilton noticed the man on the ground and checked his pulse. He confirmed he was really dead.

Back at the Gala, Tommy was watching Laurel dancing with Carter. She was smiling and he was jealous.

He took a drink of his bourbon, saying, "Did you know that as a doctor, I was able to diagnose myself as a giant tool."

Thea walked over and leaned her arm over his, "How about a dance, Handsome?"

He turned around to face her in concern as he replied, "Hey, uh... I thought that we agreed that you were going to call me before you did something stupid."

"You're no fun." She said

"I'm going to show you how to have some fun," She said as she wrapped the front of her arms around his neck and tried to kiss him.

Before she got even remotely close he jumped back, "Whoa, whoa! What are you doing?"

"You said I was amazing." She looked hurt

"Yeah, you are amazing, but you're also like my sister." He smiled kindly as he spoke

"My baby, sister." he reiterated.

"Well, I'm not a baby anymore. Thank you for noticing." she said in offense before looking past him to Laurel.

It was followed by a fake laugh, "Laurel doesn't even like you. She doesn't understand you."

"I do."

"Why can't you just see that?"

He walked her away from the bigger part of the crowd as he spoke, "Thea. Thea. It was a mistake to talk to you about girls and stuff."

"It was inappropriate, and I think it may have confused you."

She stopped walking as she let out an offended laugh, her tone was salty. "Yeah, the rejection is pretty clear."

"Even if it wasn't.. Between my mom and Oliver and everyone else in my entire life.. I'm pretty much used to it by now-" She cut herself off as she turned around and walked into one of the servers carrying around the trays of champagne.

Tommy held her back, "Whoa, whoa."

And now there were people looking at them and in their direction.

He ushered her outside, "Okay, let's go."

He was calm as he walked her out, "Come on, come on."

➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳

Laurel had actually followed them outside, where she had heard Thea throwing up.

"Tommy?" She asked, walking over in concern

"Yep." he said, his suit jacket was over Thea as he stood behind her

"Is Thea okay?" she asked

"Oh yeah. She just ate some bad crab cakes." he said

She gave him a 'How dumb do you think I look', look and said, "Are you sure itr wasn't something she drank."

He cleared his throat, "Don't worry. I got this."

"You can go back inside. Keep having fun."

Thea looked back over at them as they talked

"Looked like you were having a nice little do-si-do with the good doctor."

She sighed lightly, "Tommy, I'm gonna let you in on a little-known secret about Doctor Carter Bowen."

"The man is a gigantic ass."

He let out a light laugh through his nose.

"And the only reason I danced with him is because he wrote a massive check to CNRI."

"Why would you think anything else?"

He averted his eyes briefly, "I guess when it comes to you, I tend to not think straight."

She smiled at him and he smiled back,

Thea walked over to them, her voice was strained, "Can you call me a cab?"

"Absolutely not. I am taking you home." He said

He opened the door of his car, "Get in."

She looked between the two of them and spoke as she got in the passenger side seat of Tommy's car, "I apologize for making such a scene."

"Just feel better, okay?" Laurel said

Thea nodded her head as he shut the door.

She turned to walk with him a few paces, "Hey Tommy,"

He looked at her, "I owe you a dance."

"Yeah?" he asked

"You earned it." she said as she kissed him on the cheek.

"Goodnight." she said as she walked back inside.

She looked back at him with a wide smile on her face. He smiled after she had gone in with a light, happy chuckle.

He got into the driver seat of his car.

As he sat down, she spoke up, "Please don't hate me."

He looked straight at her, "No. Never."

And then he drove off.

Oliver was back in the hideout, still in his suit as he sat in a chair staring down at his hands. Diggle walked in and stopped in front of him, "What went down wasn't your fault."

"I didn't say it was."

He did sound a little mopey though..

"Oliver, It wasn't your fault, man." He said

"You gave Reston a chance. That was more than he deserved."

"I'm not so sure about that." Oliver replied somberly

"Well. Listen, I'll tell you this much." Diggle said as he started

"You say going after the guys on that list is the way you honored your dad?"

Oliver silently confirmed it as he nodded his head yes.

"Well.. If your dad could have seen you this week. The way you cared about the people he had hurt, the way you stepped up to try to help them, I'd say he would be pretty damn honored." 

He walked back a few paces, "So maybe there is more than one way to save this city?"

Oliver looked down then up again, "Maybe."

He began to walk off, and as he did so he talked again, "By the way, Stan Washington woke up."

Oliver looked up at Diggle. Dig turned back to look at Oliver, "He's going to be fine."

➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳

Flashback

Oliver woke back up in the cave, next to his fire. He was panting as he came back to, and out of his dream.

He breathed heavy as he looked at the dying fire. Then he scooted himself closer to it.

He ripped a page out of his father's book, and as he was about to put it in the fire, he held it above for a few moments, and suddenly words appeared over the page.

He looked at it in shock, and opened the little book back up. He opened it and held it above the fire.

More words appeared. His list of names. Oliver read it, "My responsibility."

"I promise, dad."

"I promise." He said again with even more determination than the first.

➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶◈◉◈➴◈◉◈➶

In the Queen Mansion, Moira poured herself a drink. And Oliver walked into the doorway, leaning against it.

"Nightcap?" He asked, causing her to take her attention to him and look at him.

"Well.. I thought it might help me. I-I don't sleep well alone." She said

"I'm sorry about what i said tonight."

"No." He said walking over to her, "You were being honest."

She looked down, "No, not entirely."

"The truth is... with Walter being gone, I'm lonely."

She walked up to him, "You know, You and I used to talk. I used to know what you were thinking."

"But now.. Even when you're home, you're somewhere else."

She looked to him, "I guess, I just miss my son."

"I miss you too." He replied

There was a period of silence as he said "And I wish that..."

Before a smile crept on his face and he said, "Are you hungry?"

➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴◉◉➴

The waitress set down Burgers in a tray at the Table Moira and Oliver were sitting at in the place they chose.

"Thank you," Oliver said

She smiled at him brightly and he smiled back.

She chuckled lightly and placed a napkin on her lap as she grabbed for her fork.

Oliver took a sip from the vanilla milkshake he had, "Mmm"

Oliver was almost appalled as he saw his own mother trying to eat a burger with silverware, Bruce Wayne style.

"Mom."

He chuckled briefly

"It's okay to get your hands dirty every once in a while,"

"For me? Please."

She sighed and set down the fork and knife.

"All right." She grabbed the burger with her hands and took a bite.

"Mmm."

*Mmhm." He agreed

"Mm. That is a great burger."

"Yeah." He said before taking a bite of a fry.

"Thank you for this." She said

"Anytime." He said with a smile

"You know.. I'll bet Carter Bowen doesn't know where to find the best burger joint in Starling City."

"So I have one thing on him?" He asked with a  light smirk

She placed her hand on his lower arm, "No."

"You have everything on him, Oliver. "

Hilton at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

[ladylooch]

Can we talk about Lio and Savannahs wedding a little !

OKAY! Here is what I know about Savannah and Lio's wedding! In bullets and pictures because I'm too excited to write in full paragraphs I guess!

Savannah and Lio's wedding is MASSIVE. I mean, like 500 people massive.

They get married in South Carolina. Savannah wanted a southern themed wedding with pinks and blues and a million flowers with the ocean as a backdrop. They end up finding a space on Hilton Head, where they return for their baby moon with Ms. Gracie.

Lio and Livy get married the same summer, so the two couples spend a lot of time conversing to ensure they aren't overlapping or overstepping. Liv and Luca are so happy to hear Lio and Savannah are having a massive wedding, so they can make more cuts to their guest list. Lio and Savannah are like "We are inviting everyone we have ever met." Not really but it feels like it.

Lucie stands with Lio as best woman 🥹 At first, Lucie thought she was left out of the wedding party because Sav asked all the girls before Lio asked his people. And Lucie was crying actual tears to Lio like, I thought Sav and I were close. What did I do??? 🥺 Lio is like.. 'oh fuck. Sorry. I was supposed to give this to you last week.' and it's her best woman proposal. Sav almost murders Lio for that.

Winnie and Stella are OF COURSE the flower girls. The entire Wood family is in the wedding, Livy and the twins too. Mack and Soph aren't, but are personal attendants, which Mack loves, as you can imagine because we know this is totally her thing.

Can you guess who the wedding planner is? EMMA. Sav and Emma bond a ton during this time and literally become two peas in a pod. Emma is in the U.S. so much more for that season while they plan everything out. Also, Emma makes Lio have an appropriate level of involvement because she can see that Savannah gets overwhelmed with choices quickly. So she tells Lio to buckle up because this will be as much his wedding as hers.

Some imagery thoughts below!

Sunshine Sachs must've called in a LOT of favors to get so many famous names on board the Archetypes Podcast and the 40x40 project. Vanity projects that went... nowhere.

Without Sunshine Sachs, IMO it's highly unlikely that M will ever be able to reach the same level of celebrity access on her own.

Letters in Your Last Name - Chapter 32

A/N: Wrote this chapter in 20 minutes. You never forget the little wins like that 🥰

Word Count: 4.1k

Warnings: SMUT 18 + Content, smidge of child birth- less dramatic than last time hehe.

Airplane seats were not made for women who are close to 7 months pregnant. That much is certain as I settle in to our first class seat, adjusting my hips so the baby settles into a better position. Although at this stage in pregnancy, there isn’t many “good” positions left. My husband plops down into the seat next to me with a huff. He’s been huffing and puffing all morning, but I refuse to let him blow down my vacation buzz. We are currently on our way to the Hilton Los Cabo resort for an extremely rare and short, season break.

“I can’t believe I let you talk me into this.” Kevin grumbles from beside me.

“It’s fine.” I say to him, not looking up from my book. It’s a historical fiction about a few badass women helping the Allies get an edge in World War II.

“I am literally going to lose my shit if you give birth in Mexico.”

“I’m not. I’m giving birth on January 3rd.” I say to him, reminding him of my already scheduled cesarean appointment. With Luca being an emergency c-section, our doctor recommended leaning towards delivering this way again. It’s technically possible to do so naturally after one these days, but we opted to pencil in the delivery of our next child. Ya know, for easy planning.

“Yeah, if you don’t go into labor first.” He snaps at me. I sigh and drop my book, looking at my husband.

“I’m over this attitude.” I swirl my hand in a circle at him. “You’re acting like I made you buy these tickets, pack your bags, get into the car, drop Luca at my parents, go through the airport, and get on this plane, all with your balls in a vice.” My ensuing look is pointed at him. He purses his lips at me and shakes his head looking away. “Choices, baby, have consequences like unprotected sex.” I rub my hand over my belly. “And the doctor cleared me yesterday to do this, so quit getting your panties in a bunch. Mama needs a vacation and to not watch The Little Mermaid for a few days.”

“Would you two like something to drink before takeoff?” The flight attendant interrupts Kevin’s response.

“Vodka?” Kevin asks and I click my tongue at him.

“How about sparkling water? For both of us. With limes, please.” I narrow my eyes at my husband.

“I need a drink, Sam. I’m seriously concerned that we are going to get to 30,000 feet and your water is going to break.”

“Kevin. I’m pregnant, you’re not. Our daughter is sitting on my bladder right now, not yours. So your feelings are invalid. Now, shut up.” I hiss at him. The flight attendant gives me a knowing look and stifles a giggle.

“Sparkling water with a lime wedge it is.” She winks at me.

“Jesus take the wheel.” He mutters under his breath.

“You’ll be meeting Jesus soon if you don’t shape up.” I tell him as I flip my book back open. I can sense Kevin’s gaze on me, but he wises up and keeps his mouth shut until our plane lands in Baja California. The exhale that comes out of his mouth makes me smile when our eyes meet.

“I could be really mean right now, but I won’t.”

“Don’t even pretend.” He shakes his head at me with a nervous laugh. He leans forward and kisses me gently. His hand comes to my belly and pushes against our daughter.

We make it to the resort and onto the beach in under an hour. Kevin immediately dives into the ocean. I’m thankful for a break from his constant check ins. I settle into a chair with my book again, glancing every so often at my husband to make sure he keeps popping his head above the surface. It isn’t long before he’s emerging from the water, rippling muscles covered with droplets racing down them. I moan and bite my lip at his approach. He reaches for his towel on the lounge chair next to me, wiping his body off and studying me.

“You’re getting red. You need more sunscreen.” He completely misses my invitation. Instead, he reaches into our beach bag for the baby sunblock we brought from the room. “Maybe we should get another umbrella over here for you.” He extends his hand to me with the bottle. “Also, I haven’t seen you drink enough water today.” My eye twitches at the last sentence. I release a heavy sigh and put my book down. He is killing me. At this rate, I won’t be enjoying more than five minutes of this vacation.

“Kevin. Baby, I love you so much, but you are getting on my last damn nerve.” I say to him, flipping my sunglass up so he can see the annoyance in my green eyes. “You have been concerned about this pregnancy since the day you saw her on the ultrasound and it is getting to be too much. Your girls are fine. Relax.”

“Sorry I love you two.” Defensiveness drips from his tone.

“I know you love us, but you’re smothering us. And I’ve asked you to stop multiple times.”

“Us?” He questions with a wrinkle of his nose.

“Yes! Us! Lacey told me she wants to enjoy this vacation without your fussing!” The sound of our daughter’s name makes Kevin’s frustration ease. I flick my sunglasses back down onto my nose. “If you need a task, go get me something to drink that isn’t water.” My tone is pointed and a reminder for him to mind his damn business about what I put into my body.

“Well… what do you want?” He asks me, grabbing his shirt and pulling it back over his large shoulders. He buttons one button to keep it together and stands.

“Surprise me.” I mumble without looking up from my book. Kevin hovers for another moment before slumping off to find a drink hut. When he is gone from ear shot I release another heavy sigh. He is so intense these days. This entire pregnancy really. He was not like this with Luca, but something about this one has him going a little crazy. Maybe it’s because of how difficult it was to conceive her. Maybe it’s because its our first daughter. I don’t know. All I know is if he’s like this now, what will he do when Lacey is out in this scary world?

“He will take care of you, sweetheart.” I murmur to our daughter. I press into where she’s resting and close my eyes. “You’re lucky to have him as your daddy. He’s a good man.” I assure her, rubbing a few tight circles over her on my stomach. A shadow casts over me. It’s my husband, standing above me with a grin.

“I heard that.”

“Good.” I say, reaching for the pink drink he extends adorned with a blue umbrella. “What is this?”

“Virgin Sex on the Beach. Didn’t think there was such a thing.” His eyes deepen before he glances over his shoulder, seeing how much privacy we have.

“I’m not having sex with you in the sand.” I say immediately as I take the glass from him. I know where he is trying to go with this. Luckily, his overprotectiveness has never applied to our sex life. “It takes forever to get out of the vag.”

“Damn it.” He groans. “Wait, how do you know that? We haven’t had sex on a beach.” I purse my lips around the straw and slide my gaze away.

“Samantha.” He tisks at me.

“Spring break. Pensacola Beach. Freshman year in college. It wasn’t that good because of said sand.” I shrug at him, settling back into my chaise. Kevin gives me a sour look. “Oh stop. It was with my boyfriend at the time. Tell me more about having your own apartment at 17.” His face immediately breaks out into a smile.

“Those were good days.”

“Fucker.” I narrow my eyes at him, sucking up the delicious juice through my red straw. “Just remember, Kevin. When you think back on those fond memories with your puck bunnies, your daughter will be 17 some day. You better pray that she doesn’t have an encounter with 17 year old you.” The smile immediately drops from Kevin’s face and he looks out across the tumultuous surface of the ocean, hopefully contemplating his poor life choices before me.

“I don’t need to think about those days when I get to wake up next to you every morning.” His gaze travels back to mine. I feel my eyes pinch behind my sunglasses. I reach out for his left hand and slide my thumb across his wedding band. His fingers lace around mine and he brings the back of my hand up to his lips.

“You’re good.” I compliment him.

“I know.” He laughs at me. “Baby, your cheeks are getting really red.” He says gently. “Let’s go up to the pool. There is more shade there.”

“Okay.” I concede, closing my book and tossing it into our bag.

Kevin gathers the rest of our stuff and we make our way up the stairs to the infinity pool. Surprisingly, its relatively empty besides one other couple who are obviously asleep in chaises beneath their cabana. We set our stuff down at two chairs across the pool from them before heading over to the entrance. Kevin jumps into the pool, deciding to forgo the traditional route of stairs. I leisurely walk down into the pool as Kevin drops below the surface of the water again. He stays under for a few moments before he crashes back up, looking at me while pushing his hair back from his face.

“I think in another life you were a fish.” I tease him as he swims over to me.

“I was definitely a shark.” His teeth snap playfully at me. He crouches down and gathers me into his arms, beginning to walk us both back into deeper water. “I’m sorry. I know I’m smothering you, but I can’t seem to stop. From the moment they said girl at the 20 week appointment, my chest has been tight with worry.” He confesses to me, as he continues to wade deeper into the pool. I sigh as the water wraps around my belly and up my breasts. I can feel the pressure of pregnancy releasing off my organs as we float in the warm water.

“S’okay. She’s safe in me.” I mumbled to him, resting my head against his shoulder. Being weightless in his arms and the extra exposure of the sun has my eye lids drooping peacefully.

“Do you want to go back to the room for a nap?” He asks me after a few more minutes of floating around.

“In a little bit. The water is holding her weight and it feels good.”

“Okay.” He murmurs to me. “You know what I’m thinking about right now?”

“The pool in Sweden?” I giggle to him without opening my eyes.

“I haven’t been in a pool since then when I haven’t thought of that.”

“Same.”

He rests his head against mine and water from his wet hair beads down my throat. My hand winds up his neck to the base of his head and I tangle my fingers through his wet locks. Kevin sighs and leans into my fingers. I smile against his shoulder then pucker my lips against his skin. He is warm beneath me and a slight sunburn is starting to bleed through. I open my mouth and take a sliver of his flesh lightly between my teeth. Kevin turns his head to place his lips against my temple.

“Love you.” He whispers to me like a secret the rest of the world isn’t in on. I pull back to look into his face. He’s drowning in adoration as our gazes meet.

“Love you more.” I say to him, pressing our lips together.

“Impossible.” He insists to me.

“Let’s go to bed and we can fight about it there.” I purr against his lips. My tongue traces his bottom lip and he opens his mouth to connect them.

When we get back to our room, Kevin takes me to bed and makes love to me. It’s passionate love making at it’s finest- full of sensual touches and loving caresses that have my pregnancy hormones bouncing in my body. We are both warm from the sun and everywhere our skin touches feels like fire. Afterwards, we rest contently in each others arms. Kevin’s fingers stroke my hair lovingly as our legs tangle together. My lashes flutter against his chest as I struggle to keep my eyes open.

“Go to sleep, baby.” Kevin finally whispers to me before his lips graze my forehead. His words hold the gentle nudge I need. I drift off in moments.

I awaken hours later as the golden light of the setting sun fills our hotel room. I gingerly sit up and wince at the feeling of my hip being asleep. I roll to my back for a moment and rub at the spiky feeling dancing down my leg. I notice Kevin’s absence and turn to look at the balcony that extends from our suite. I see my husband there, laying back in his chair with his head tilted towards the sun. He looks so good. The orange and yellow hues of the sunset bounce off his tan skin and muscular chest.

I carefully roll onto my side and push myself up into a sitting position. I scoot myself off the bed and try not to feel exasperated at how unnecessarily hard that was. My body is working overtime growing a human being. It’s okay if it doesn’t function like it used to before babies. My movement catches Kevin’s eye and he turns to take me in. I’m still naked and his brown eyes devour me. I watch his gaze slide to all his favorite places. A yearning need begins to throb ion my core. I reach for the plush hotel robe on the chair by the door, pulling it on before joining him outside.

“Sit with me.” He reaches for my hand and pulls me into his lap. “You look very beautiful.. and sexy.. and loved..” He says each word around a kiss.

“It’s cause you love me so good.” Kevin’s hands rest on my belly as I talk. We can both feel Lacey moving around at the sound of our voices.

“Pregnancy agrees with you.” Kevin murmurs to me. “You’re like a glowing goddess.”

“You must not have seen me trying to get off the bed just now.” I laugh at him, dropping my forehead to his. I pull back and look at his face again. He looks at me in a way that makes my heart skip a beat.

“You’re perfect.” He says simply. And as I always do, I believe him. “What do you want for dinner?”

“I wish I could have real sushi.” I whine to him. “It would be so good here.”

“I know. I thought about that.” He frowns at me.

“Um.. honestly carne asada tacos sound good. With chips and guac.”

“You got it.” He pats my butt for me to rise. He walks over to his phone and begins to put our order in through the app.

“Oh! Babe! Fried ice cream!” I yell to him and he smiles at me, giving me a thumbs up.

“I already knew you wanted that.” He laughs when he joins me on the balcony after he’s done. “You’ve got my baby in there. She definitely wants ice cream.”

“I’ve never craved sweets more in my life than being pregnant with your children.” I shake my head at him. We grow quiet and look out across the ocean. The ripples of the water are glowing in the fading light. It’s picturesque. Just like the man sitting across from me.

“Oh, while you were sleeping, I called down to the spa and they have a massage therapist here who specializes in prenatal massages. Apparently, she’s from Canada and lives down here during the winter season.”

“What….” My eyes widen at him in excitement. “I want that. Tomorrow.” I nod my head at him.

“Good, cause you’re going. 10am.”

“What if she massages the baby right out of me?”

“You know I don’t think that’s funny.” He rolls his eyes at me. “Plus, Lacey and I talked about it while you were sleeping. She’s agreed to stay in you until we are back home.” I let out a loud snort of a laugh, tilting my head back.

“Wow, she’s already a daddy’s girl.”

A knock at the door stops Kevin from responding. He jogs to grab it and brings our meal out to me on the balcony. My carne asada tacos smell and look so good that my mouth is watering instantly. Kevin got Baja shrimp tacos. We both split the chips and guac and settle with water for drinks after our day in the sun.

“Have you heard from my parents? I thought they would have called at bedtime.” I ask him after my first bite. He nods his head at me, but swallows his food before he speaks.

“Your mom FaceTimed me with Luca while you were sleeping.”

“Dang it.” I frown, tapping Kevin’s phone screen to see the time. It’s well past Luca’s bedtime now. He’s likely been asleep for hours.

“It’s probably good he didn’t see you. He was a little upset. It would have been hard for you.” He gives me a small shrug.

“Yeah, you’re probably right. Did he cry when he saw you?”

“No, but he was going down that road the longer we talked, so I told your mom we should just end the call. She texted me a picture of him five minutes later with your dad reading to him. He was happy and sleepy.”

“Okay. I’ll try to call tomorrow morning and see how it goes.” I pick up a piece of steak with my fingers, chewing it slowly. It melts in my mouth and is bursting with flavors of citrus and salt. “It’s been a little easier than I thought to be away from him.” I admit to Kevin.

“You needed a break.” He acknowledges to me. “You’ve been doing a lot the last few months- growing a baby and chasing a toddler.”

“That’s true. I feel kind of guilty though.” I shrug my shoulders.

“You’re an amazing mom. Every parent needs a break from their kid. It's normal.”

“Yeah, I know that. I just… I kind of feel bad that you have this week off and I took you away from him. Not sure that’s fair to either of you.”

“Babe, we needed to reconnect with each other. Being here together is going to make us better parents for him when we get back.” I nod my head in agreement.

“Yeah, I know you’re right.” I push my plate of half eaten tacos away. At this point in my pregnancy, I get full pretty quickly. But there is always room for dessert. “Where is my ice cream?” I ask him. He laughs and goes into the fridge, grabbing it and placing it in front of me. It’s at a perfect eating consistency and easy to spoon into my mouth.

“Fuck…” I moan out as the first bite slides into my mouth. Kevin’s eyes meet mine and an awareness blankets the balcony. I stick my tongue out of my mouth and lick the remaining ice cream off the back of the spoon. Kevin clears his throat and breaks his gaze away from mine. “I can’t wait to do this to you later.” I whisper to him. His gaze darts back to my eyes. I deliberately run my tongue along each edge of my top teeth while looking into his eyes. Kevin swallows and he releases a quick exhale.

“Just tell me when.” He finally speaks to me. His voice is dripping with obvious arousal. I’m satisfied with his response.

“When I’m done with my ice cream.” Kevin nods his head at my teasing and then smirks. His tongue dances along his bottom lip before he sucks in a corner of it between his teeth. It pops back into place, a little plumper than before. I blink as a wave of involuntary pleasure weaves around my body. My mouth instantly begins to water. It has nothing to do with the ice cream on my spoon.

“Now.” I whimper out to him. He pumps his fist, then picks me up and we fall into bed moments later.

After we take the latest edge off, Kevin spoons me from behind. I lazily run my fingers along his forearm where his hand is resting on my bump.

“I’m glad you made us do this.” He whispers into my ear. His breath makes a few strands of my hair tickle my face. “We feel like us again… Sam and Kevin, not mom and dad.”

I sigh and lean back deeper into his chest. His palm tightens around my bump and our daughter kicks against him.

“We do. And now I’m ready for her to be here.” I murmur to him.

“Me too.” He nuzzles my neck with his nose. “But for now, go get that ice cream you’re obviously still thinking about. Then, I’ll rub your feet.”

“Yay!” I shimmy in excitement and bounce off the bed to the balcony. He laughs and watches me from the bed like a man who hasn’t had enough of his wife.

I reach for my ice cream, not even caring that it’s barely ice cream anymore, and turn with the cup in my hand. I pause there, taking in the view from across the room. Kevin has grabbed the remote for the TV and he flicks through the channels to find something for us to watch. My breath catches in my throat as my eyes trail down his naked body. He’s strong and sexy but most of all he’s sweet. The sweetest man I could have ever asked for to be mine. He absentmindedly brings a hand to his face and he rubs at the days worth of stubble growing there. I could watch him just be, doing normal human things, for hours. My lack of movement draws his eyes to me. The smile that he gives me forces goosebumps to break out down my body. Thank God this man’s baby is in me.

“Holy shit.” I say through bubbling tears in my throat. “I love you. Way more than this ice cream.” At this point in my pregnancy, he’s immune to my hormonal emotions.

“Good. Now, come back to bed.” _ _ _

My eyes are closed when I hear her cry for the first time. Just like with Luca, the overwhelming emotions sweep over me. Kevin’s lips are on my cheek and he grips my hand tightly.

“Are you okay?” He asks me, noting my silence. All I can do is nod.

She’s finally here.

When I open my eyes, I watch intently as they hand Lacey to Kevin to hold. His lips part as he sucks in a surprising breath when he sees her face.

“I’m done for.” He whispers to me. His eyes are filling with tears and I’m a little concerned something is wrong with her. “She looks just like you.” He finally tells me, turning our daughter so I can see her face. He is right. Even through the goop, she’s a Stalock through and through. I beam at him and my eyes match his teary ones.

“She is me.” I confirm to him.

“She is so lucky. So beautiful.” He smiles and brings her down closer to my face. She’s pure perfection. Her eyes are open and she’s looking around at her new surroundings. Her face is beginning to signal a cry, distorting in anguish.

“Mama’s here, Lace.” I whisper to her. She pauses mid-cry at the sound of my voice. Fresh tears leak from my eyes and Kevin reaches to brush them away. “Babe, I want to hold her.”

“Okay.” Kevin murmurs to me, scooting closer with his chair and leaning forward. He gently places Lacey on my chest, helping my arms support her weight in my drugged up haze. I reach for her face and slowly brush the tips of my fingers over her features. Kevin sighs contently next to me as his brown eyes turn to mush while looking at our daughter. He’s head over heels in love with a new girl. And I’m perfectly okay with that.

“What is this sweet girl’s name?” Grace asks as she checks our baby’s heartbeat again. It’s strong and steady, just how we want it.

“Lacey Marie Fiala.” I tell her without taking my eyes from our daughter.

“Vítej na světě, naše dokonalá holka.” Kevin speaks softly in Czech.

Welcome to the world, our perfect girl.

Castillo Summer Year 1 Pt 1

Bianca and Mateo are deep in love. They're constantly kissing each other, woohooing, and doting on each other.

When Giada's at work Mateo dotes on his other girl, baby Riley.

Even when Aunt Bianca gets a bit out of hand.

Mateo kicked Bianca out after her outburst, which didn't turn out well for her since she ran into her fiancé with her mother.

He doesn't even seem ashamed. Run, girl!

Giada asks Bianca to watch Riley for the night so she can go on a date with Mateo. And to get her away from Zac.

A resounding success!

And when the couple gets home Mateo is back to being Mr.Mom. Baby Riley isn't such a baby anymore.

Aww, hi cutie! Riley is adorable! And a girl! I clicked away originally and missed her gender, so it's good to know!

Oh! And look what some stranger dropped off.

We're asking more money. These two keep trying for baby with ACR when I turn away for a moment, so mama need a house. And new outfits, to celebrate with a night out on the town.

And the two promotions make the day even better.

Congratulations to Mr. Mateo Castillo, who has met at Prosperity Park to marry the mother of his child and first love, Giada Rossi.

And the vows finish as the sun sets.

And we have a crowd! I did invite family, but "no one could make it", so the attendants are (from who I can tell) Severus Snape, Whoopi Goldberg, Channing Tatum, and Paris Hilton.

Aww, and a cute cake smash as well for the first marriage in Prosperity Pointe.

Back at home, Riley is thrilled to see mama with her new name, Giada Castillo. With the two still head over heels with each other and officially married, I feel fine with letting nature take its course.

And it quickly does.

Time in the Castillo apartment drags by as the expanding family searches for somewhere larger to move their family. Giada is well aware that Mateo wants three kids, so the couple needs more room and fast.

Babies don't care about timing, however, and baby is on the way before the family can move into more permanent housing.

Welcome baby Luca! He has brown hair and brown eyes and is the currently third in line for the Castillo homestead after Liam and his father.

Not to be outdone, Riley grows out of diapers.

She's cute! The family genetics are blending well!

And if you've been concerned- Bailey is still spoiled rotten by everyone in the family. She's just camera shy.

Luca's infancy goes by quickly as the family juggles their busy careers and the new baby.

Cute!
