CHAPTER TWO: 2.2k words

8:27am on Tuesday the 28th of September

You'd expected a text at least...just some reassurance that your fake baby was still 'alive' and that she hadn't dropped Lilith on her head within the first 24 hours of having her. However, you just got radio fucking silence from Ellie. She didn't even tell you where to come get Lilith from!

So, here you were standing outside of Ellie's dorm like a fucking idiot in your cheer uniform waiting for Jesse to answer your text to open the door for you so you could come collect your 'demon child'. Despite Ellie's lack of communication and the fact you had no idea what to do with Lilith while you were at cheer practice you were in a surprisingly good mood this morning.

Although, that quickly soured as soon as Jesse opened the front door groggily causing a wave of smoke to fill your nostrils. Immediately, you push past Jesse (sorry not sorry) and march towards Ellie who's sat on the couch cigarette in hand and Lilith in her fucking lap. "No way are you casually just smoking with our baby in your lap!" You practically shout at her in both pure horror and anger at her audacity...and perhaps more the fact that she was smoking in the first place. "It's not a real baby so what does it matter?!" Ellie replies nonchalantly before taking another drag of the cigarette causing your face to almost pale as you take a step back. That earns an odd glance from Ellie but you're already replying before she can comment about it. "It matters because it has fucking sensors! It can probably detect the fact you're filling a 2 month year olds lungs full with tar you imbecile!" You snap back harshly. "It matters because I have to take this baby around with me all day while it stinks of smoke and I don't want that fucking reminder the whole day!" You shout at her causing Dina (who was supposed to be your roommate but she has the occasional sleepovers with Jesse) to practically sprint into the room. Dina's eyes immediately lock on Ellie's cigarette and she storms towards Ellie, snatches it out of her hand and throws it out of the window completely ignoring Ellie's comments about how 'she just based a perfectly good cigarette'. Perhaps that was a little dramatic but it was for your sake. "I told you not to fucking smoke around Y/n or the baby you dick!" Dina says harshly and to be honest you don't think you've ever seen Dina this mad. "Did you tell her why?" You say quietly as you eye up Ellie almost suspiciously as she sits there arms crossed like she was a toddler and you just took her fucking I-pad away. "No babe...its not my place to say. I just wanted her to know so she wouldn't do something like this..." Dina says softly to you before she turns to Ellie again. "You're not normally like this. Just because you ‘hate’ Y/n doesn't excuse this Ellie! I told you not to smoke around her for a fucking reason." Dina says seriously as Jesse walks back into the room looking a little more awake and clearly immediately smells the smoke causing him to literally put his head in his hands. "I thought Dina told you not to smoke until the baby and Y/n were gone dude?" Jesse says disapprovingly. "What the fuck does everyone here know that I don't! I didn't think it was that serious!" Ellie says defensively as if she was getting told off by her parents. "Just…tell her...but I'm going to cheer practice." You say quietly before simply turning on your heel and walking towards the front door without the baby. "Hey! Where the fuck do you think you're going? It's your turn to take the fucking baby barbie!" Ellie shouts after you causing you to flip her your middle finger before shutting their dorms door rather gently for how angry you were right now.

As soon as the door closed Ellie immediately turned to both Jesse and Dina who were stood there like disappointed parents and simply raises her eyebrow at them as if to say 'so?'. "Y/n was kicked out at 15 and her grandad took her and Marlow in. He smoked every day and Y/n begged him to stop but he didn't...and he died last year of lung cancer. Even when he got diagnosed with cancer he continued smoking despite the fact it was treatable. His addiction overruled his desire to live for longer and that killed Y/n." Dina explains carefully making sure she wasn't giving too much detail because it wasn't her place to tell Ellie why you'd gotten kicked out. "That's why she doesn't want to be around the baby because it actually reeks of cigarettes Ellie...and all that'll do it is remind Y/n of her grandad and she's still grieving so watching you smoke can't help either. Even if she doesn't like you Ellie I doubt Y/n would want you to be addicted to such a thing." Dina adds on as Jesse watches Ellie carefully as any trace of judgement about your 'overdramatic' reaction and smugness disappeared as soon as Dina's words registered. Dina watched as Ellie’s mouth opened, then shut. For half a second, something shifted before she leaned back into her mask of bitterness. "I'm not addicted though. I just have the occasional cigarette when I feel stressed...and this fucking baby is making me stressed! Being paired up with Y/n is making me stressed! So...technically it's her fault I smoked isn't it?" Ellie says defensively clearly not willing to just admit she upset you...so she's being a little shit. "I actually can't believe those words just came out of your fucking mouth Ellie." Dina says harshly but her voice doesn't raise, it's just sharp and disappointed and then she walks away with Jesse following soon after her. "Think before you speak dipshit...you fucked up. Own it." Jesse comments over his shoulder and when Jesse adds on his own disappointed comment...well Ellie knew she fucked up. Royally. "Wait!" Ellie shouts after causing Jesse to stop just before he followed Dina back to his bedroom but he doesn't turn around like he was expecting Ellie to just come out with some other shit that'd just piss him off even more...and he was right. For once. "Why did she get kicked out?" Ellie asks curiously causing Jesse to scoff and just walk into his bedroom.

Ellie sinks down into the couch defeated with a surprising tightness in her chest that felt something akin to guilt as she looks over at Lilith. Her hands reach over and pick the baby up with a surprising amount of gentleness before standing up. As if on autopilot, Ellie makes a b-line for the bathroom as her hands begin to take Lilith's onesie off. Ellie doesn't realise that this technically is her trying to make up for fucking up...she's too busy convincing herself that she's only changing and giving the baby a bath...because she needs it and not because it'll stop the baby from smelling like smoke which was the main reason you got upset. No...? Ellie throws the pink onesie in the bin before filling up her bath with warm water and bubble bath for Lilith. Ellie just plops her in the bath and immediately gets her phone out to snap a photo so she could post it on her instagram...not because she was too scared to send it you and not because she wanted you to see she was bathing the baby so it didn't stink? No! It was simply because she fancied broadcasting to her very dead instagram that she had to look after a fake baby. Duh! She probably should've checked if Lilith was waterproof before putting her in a bath because then she would've actually fucked up to the point of no return if she broke the baby...however she seemed fine. Lilith was actually giggling? Ellie thought it was so freaky how realistic this little demon baby was...because how did she know Ellie had plopped a little duckie in there for her? It was then she decided robots were in fact going to take over the world because she was convinced this fake baby was smarter than her.

9:30am

You had cheer practice and you were not in the right frame of mind to lead a group of girls at 9:30 in the morning after the morning you've just had. It wasn't even worth it because you didn't even fucking get Lilith so you could dress her up in her own cheer uniform like you were planning to so then you could post cute little instagram photos with her. Of course Ellie had to ruin that like she does with everything fucking else.

As the girls trickle in all chatting happily and loudly you could already feel the headache forming. You were really not in the fucking mood today and you knew it would reflect in today’s practice session that you really couldn't afford to fuck up because the first game of the year was tomorrow. It would already be a shitty game because it'd be the first game where your grandad wasn't going to be there on the bleachers and you knew that would throw you off your game...so you really couldn't let fucking Ellie Williams throw you off your game today and especially not tomorrow.

11:00am

Practice was terrible.

You weren't even being dramatic this time. It genuinely went shit. You weren't focused, you missed cues, you snapped at Alisha for politely asking if you were okay (you apologised straightaway like the true people pleaser you are) and you fucking twisted your ankle right before game day. Fucking great! Just what you needed.

All in all, Ellie fucking Williams ruined you day and it wasn't even midday yet.

However, when you got back to your dorm after practice you noticed your bedroom door was wide open...odd? You were 99% sure you shut it before leaving to go to Ellie and Jesse's dorm this morning so why the fuck was it open now? Shit! Had someone broken in or something?

You approached your bedroom cautiously and ever so slightly peeked in all while hoping and praying your computer was still there and in tact. Which it was in fact was...because when you fully opened the door you were met with Lilith wrapped in a little pink blanket on your bed, dressed in a duck onesie and a note next to her.

'Returned the she-demon all sparkly. She missed you. -E'

You hated the way your fucking chest tightened when reading that note and you especially hated the way you found it sweet. Immediately you pulled out your phone to text Dina because the natural response to being confused to why you were finding something the girl you literally hate did sweet is to text your best friend.

And you immediately regretted it.

Of course she would make something out of you admitting that you've experienced a small positive feeling in relation to Ellie.

She was overly excited by you and Ellie being paired up for this project because before Ellie opened her big mouth you may have in a moment of weakness admitted that you thought Ellie was hot and that she happened to be your exact type...and Dina hasn't stopped bringing it up since. It drove you up the wall that she wouldn’t let it go and you didn't know why. Maybe it was because you didn't feel that way anymore because her being so rude to you constantly just makes her automatically unattractive and you didn't like being accused of feeling something you don't or maybe it’s because you're annoyed you still think she's hot despite how much of a bitch she is.

Little did you know Dina and Jesse were scheming in the next room. Dina wanted you to fuck and make up so you'd both stop moping around and actually let yourselves be happy because she was convinced you two would be some kind of enemies to lovers story and Jesse just wanted you two to get along so you guys could hang out without him having to babysit Ellie to not say something dumb to you. The poor man just wanted peace and his girlfriend was playing cupid with possibility the most difficult people on this planet. Dina decided to take it upon herself (despite knowing that you'd actually murder her if you knew about this) to let Ellie know that you found the note sweet in hopes of Ellie maybe doing it again.

Jesse had peaked his head over her shoulder the moment she typed that last message before simply shaking his head at his girlfriend's antics. "You're playing cupid between Y/n and Ellie? I think you would have more chance getting Ellie to fuck a cactus than Y/n babe..." Jesse says in pure amusement causing Dina to pout as she crosses her arms over her chest. "Do you doubt my match making skills Jess?" She says pointedly before he quickly shakes his head. "I just can't tell if they'll kill each other or fall in love...and right now I'm leaning more towards the first option considering how this morning went D." He says gently with a shrug of shoulders. "Why can't they do both?" She says harmlessly with a soft smirk on her face.

CHAPTER ONE: 1.5k words (I swear it felt like I wrote more than that?!)

There were few things you hated in this life more than group projects...and by a few things, its more like one thing...one certain person. Fucking Ellie Williams. You haven't been able to escape her since freshman year of university when your best friend since birth Dina betrayed your celibacy pact not even a month in by getting with Jesse...who happened to be Ellie Williams best friend. Just your fucking luck right? You were convinced the universe hated you for simply making you aware of Ellie Williams presence...but the universe was a shitty little gift that kept giving.

8:56am on Monday the 27th of September.

You wanted to scream.

Maybe that was dramatic, maybe it wasn't but you used to get a lie in every fucking Monday morning until your university decided to be evil and make up a mandatory PSHE class that everyone had to attend every Monday regardless of their major.

So, here you were...sat with your legs crossed next to Dina and Jesse (who you had began to warm up to despite the original annoyance you felt towards him for stealing your best friend away from you) notebook out and strawberry water placed on the desk meticulously like you were happy to be here...which you weren't. Your acrylic nails tapped impatiently on the desk causing Dina to lean over and whisper in her ear. "Babe, chill. It's just a silly class! They'll show us how to put a condom on and tell us to have safe sex so Jackson university doesn't have another chlamydia outbreak again." Dina muses clearly trying to calm your anxiety and distract you from the fact Ellie was making a b-line for your desk presumably to sit next to Jesse but of course it was futile because she had to open her big mouth and ruin your dwindling minutes left of peace this morning before the class started. "Mornin' cheer barbie. You all dressed up for a 9am lecture? Thats so cute." She mocks clearly referencing your outfit (which consisted of a simple black pleated skirt, black tights, baby pink converse and baby pink knitted jumper) before plopping down next to Jesse and letting her backpack fall off her shoulder carelessly onto the floor next to her causing you to scoff in disbelief. "Morning Williams, wearing the same flannel, jeans and shoes again? It's nice to see a different shirt...I thought you only had that NASA one?" You snap back just as mockingly trying and failing miserably to keep your voice level but both her presence and the uncertainty of the new course was making you more anxious than normal. Your comment caused Dina to elbow your side which was a not so subtle reminder to try and remain civil with Ellie for the sake of 'her and Jesse's relationship'. You were about to retort before the universe rudely cut off your amazing and totally valuable comment about how 'you'd rather drink bleach than be civil with Ellie' by the new Professor's grating voice yelling at everyone to be quiet.

There she stood, Professor Roberts who you'd decided was now your mortal enemy (after Ellie of course) for being the culprit behind taking your Monday morning lie ins. She was surprisingly chipper for 9am on a Monday morning and that only served to piss you off more. "Now, I know most of you are unsure yet I hope very curious to what this new course has to offer you and I'm here to tell you all! This is a mandatory PSHE class that will give you a more...hands on experience than all your others. For this semester we will be focusing on parenting since you are now all most certainly old enough to be having children of your own...not that I am encouraging you to become teen parents!! However, this parenting simulation will teach you all the importance of communication and patience as you will be working with a pre-assigned partner...and there will be no switches! You will all be given a RealCare baby; it cries, it needs feeding, it gets sick, it needs to go to bed, have naps, it needs to be engaged so you must speak to it and try and get them to get used to sitting up as well trying to get them to talk. It is literally like a real life baby! Crazy what ai and technology can do nowadays right?! It also tracks every time you neglect it and if you try and turn it off...so for the love of God please don't try and cheat your way out of this assignment because you'll just have to do it next year! Your pairs will be put on the board in a jiffy while I pop and get your new RealCare babies!" Professor Roberts explains excitedly before clicking a button causing the list of names to pop up on the projector.

The classroom breaks out into a sea of noise with a mixture of chatter, groans and excited squeals at the list go names.

Your eyes immediately and frantically scan the list on the projector for name as you practically beg the universe to not give someone bad...however you decide its probably futile since the universe hates you at the moment. It took your Monday morning lie ins for Gods sake so it must hate you.

Dina Woodward and Jesse Jeon.

Surprise surprise...

Y/n L/n and Ellie Williams.

WHAT THE FUCK?!

The universe really was a shitty little gift that kept on giving...because it just gave you Ellie fucking Williams for the next 3 ish months and a fucking baby??????

Immediately your head whips towards Ellie who's sporting a shit eating grin...like she fucking planned this. "Guess you're my baby mommy barbie." Ellie comments sarcastically with a dull yet mocking laugh which only made you more angry because she was belittling and mocking you already! "I'm dropping out." You retort before literally wincing in embarrassment as soon as the words left your mouth...because what the fuck was that comeback? "Babe...maybe don't be so extreme? You need this to be able to graduate...and you need to graduate." Dina says softly causing a defeated sigh to leave your lips. "Go get the fucking baby Williams." You say harshly while you're packing up your items that you didn't even need to have put out into your Longchamp bag! "You go get the baby, miss bossy pants!" Ellie retorts both stubbornly and childishly causing Jesse to bury his face in his hands and mumble something incoherent that sounded an awful lot like 'they're so doomed' before he literally shoves Ellie out of her seat and then gets up after her presumably to make sure Ellie was getting your joint 'baby' as well as getting his and Dina's.

You're already out of your seat and practically storming down the lecture hall stairs towards Ellie and Jesse just to make sure Ellie doesn't fuck up immediately and drop the baby. When you get there, Ellie is holding the baby like a fucking FOOTBALL causing you to actually snatch the baby out of her grip and gently cradle her (well you assume it's a her because it's in a pink baby onesie however that is very gender stereotypical of you to assume such a thing) to your chest. "She's not a fucking football! You're supposed to hold her like this!" You practically screech at her. "I am not failing this class because you are incapable of looking after her properly!" You tell her which in turn causes her to roll her eyes and snatch the baby back and hold her properly with a forced smile on her face just to piss you off. "I'm not incompetent! I know how to hold a baby! I was just pissing about for a moment with Jesse!" She snaps back causing you to huff and cross your arms over your chest like a petulant child. "Well, don't piss about then! It's both of our diplomas on the line Williams." You start before un-crossing your arms as soon as you realise how childish you must look. "I will text you later so we can sort out the details for who will have her when and what we are going to call her...if you want to take her now you can but you'll need to get the equipment from another classroom...but I can take her if you're busy." You say surprisingly calmly. You had decided you would be civil...for the sake of your grade and your diploma...not for her, not for Jesse and Dina's relationship but for your future. Perhaps you were being a tad melodramatic right now...but who wouldn't be if they were paired up with the girl that makes their life a fucking misery and has been doing for a year and a bit! Ellie's sour expression softened briefly perhaps in surprise at your clam response before it just turns unreadable. "I'll take her today." Ellie says calmly before turning on her heel before you could get another word in presumably to go to the classroom where all the equipment was located. Rude much?

tags: @satellitespinner

Y/n L/n: psychology major, cheer captain and (mostly) closeted lesbian due to your lovely (not) family. looks like you have your whole life together just because your family is wealthy...news flash you don't! you have a little sister called Marlow who is studying nursing who does her own thing most of the time but Marlow, you and Dina are the original trio from birth.

Ellie Williams: quarterback, astrophysics major, amateur artist and known lesbian. just a moody bitch unless you're like 3 people...or a fake baby apparently.

Dina Woodrow: the best friend who abandoned you for a MAN and to be honest she just wants you and Ellie to kiss this whole time #number1shipper.

Jesse Jeon: Said man. on the football team, surprisingly nice for a man and just wants you and Ellie to get on so he doesn't have to babysit her 24/7 because he already feels like he's greying at 20.

Marlow L/n: Your little sister who betrayed the family by bleaching her hair and then making it her whole personality trait. nursing major but actually refuses to go anywhere near your fake baby when she's sick? make it make sense.

criminal minds s18 thoughts by a girl who cant think outside of the box to save her life!

now, you may be thinking god chloe you posted like 40 minutes ago and youre at it again? yeah. yeah i am! now ive started im not going to shut up! okay, onto the actual thoughts which is like…three things…ha!

okay, number one: apparently according to my sources (tumbler) episode three is a funeral? now…i dont want to be a negative nancy but in the trailer there is JJ…looking rather sad. now! i do not want to jump to conclusions but i swear i read somewhere ages ago that will isnt coming back for s18…so maybe its wills funeral? and we all know that our beloved spencer reid is coming back for an episode…so i think if any it would be this one! i originally thought that this episode would be the team saying goodbye to spencer because its called ‘time to say goodbye’…NOW I DIDNT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN but i was preparing myself for the worse. however, i much prefer the idea that its a funeral (what a morbid thing to say)…perhaps because im a massive JJ and emily shipper! i just want my lesbians to be happy 💞💞

okay it turns out that maybe i only had one thing to say…other then the fact that im PETRIFIED for taras episode…and then the episode after that being called ‘collateRal’…IM SCARED!! like the collateral from taras episode?

maybe you guys think im dumb after this post because youve all already thought of these ideas…or have much much better ones…however im just a girl 🎀 (my mum would kill me for saying that because it isnt every feminist of me)

kay rant over!! bye (for now😈)! 💞💞
