i can’t remember if you’ve said anything about this yet but i’m picturing ur cass going into labour and. how is girl surviving this once let alone THREE times when she reacted to PUBERTY like THAT 😭 just from the sheer panic alone

omg anon i haven't talked about this but it's Cassandra okay girlies is a MESS during all three times 😭😭😭

From way before giving birth, like soon after Alcina knew that Cass was pregnant she had a private meeting with wife and was very clear about making sure Cassandra goes for an epidural and there shouldn't be any of the no drugs option. Wife looked at Alcina and said seriously "What makes you believe your daughter is going to brave this one out?" Because she's known Cass for a few years and can tell that this will never be something to think about. Alcina has no reason to assume that Cassandra is going to do this because she's the kind of person who would cry over a paper cut. So giving birth without medication is not on the table.

And yes, wife is there to keep things under control to the best of her ability. Because as dramatic and out of control Cassandra can be, her wife can maintain calm and be the voice of reason during many situations. She’s not complaining at all, the dramatics are part of Cassandra’s charm that she fell for and she won’t have her any other way. As long as she knows Cass is okay and not in any real pain, she can take whatever comes her way.

Cassandra on her end was doing just okay until about 25 weeks into her pregnancy, then it downed on her and she started to actually panic every time she thought about it. She’d constantly tell herself: “People give birth every day, literally I WAS BORN!” And still get a tight chest because of all the anxiety.

She also was convinced that she was going to die, so it felt more like a countdown to that instead of having her baby because is she going to survive a human coming out of her? Not likely. She was ready with a speech to her wife, mom, and sisters.

When she was at the hospital, Cassandra was in full panic mode because she simply wasn't ready. But since it's time to give birth, the matter is out of her hands but she isn't known for giving up quickly. She was in no pain, physically. Her wife did ask her if she was in any physical pain, to rate it from 0 to 10 which Cass answered truthfully and said that it was at a zero. "Emotional pain?" Wife knows she needs to check on that because this is what's making Cass so anxious and distressed. "200" Cassandra answered as she burst into tears.

That wasn't the end of it. Since she couldn't feel anything, Cassandra's brain convinced her that she could keep this up for probably another day or two. And since she is absolutely not ready to give birth just yet, she decided that wants to leave and come back the next day when she's better prepared. But of course, there is no way she can leave while in active labor and contractions being so close to one another. But then again, she was feeling very panicky and overwhelmed and she wanted her mother because she wasn't going to do this and no one could make her do it.

There is no way wife is going to leave Cassandra's side and go get Alcina, so a nurse has to be sent out for the task. When Alcina saw the nurse approaching, she panicked thinking that something bad had happened. But the nurse told her that everything was okay but her daughter needed her.

When Alcina got into the delivery room, Cassandra thought she finally had an ally and that her mother was surely going to stop this madness and make her go home (she's persistent like that and also very delulu) but Alcina wasn't on her side, and told her that it's too late for that now. She will go home in two days anyway.

"I can't do this! I don't know how," Cassandra confessed, she was openly crying by that point and it broke Alcina's heart to see her like this. She always hated seeing her daughters in pain, and she knows that Cassandra is not in any pain but she is scared and getting very emotional because of it. Alcina hoped for a way to help ease her daughter's distress, but unfortunately, this was one of those things that her daughter had to do alone. "You don't need to do anything, draga. Your body knows what to do, and it's already pushing your baby out on its own," Because at that point, the baby's head was already out and this entire thing will be over very soon.

Sure enough, a few minutes later the room was filled with the baby's cries. And just like that, it was over.

Alcina did get to see her granddaughter as soon as she was born because she was right there providing all kinds of support to her daughter who was finally registering what had happened. Though she was pouting and tearful still, she did complain that no one listened to her, especially her mom and wife because they were supposed to be on her side. But she was soon distracted by her baby and forgot all about labor a few hours later.

Even Miranda wasn't mad that they only called her after Aurelia was born because she knew that Alcina was definitely going to be busy with Cassandra. Miranda called it first and suggested they have an OR on standby just in case this one granddaughter refused to give birth for whatever reason.

Donna was also frantic, knowing how near impossible it was and for once she sided with her mother. But Donna was in favor of them forgoing the whole delivery and going straight to c-section because 'there is no reason to torture the little doe,' as she put it.

It took a lot of coaxing, a very long process, and lots of tears (for no reason, really) but Cassandra did it eventually (with the support of both her mother and her wife and a very patient medical team).

the entirety of BFDI so far is 16:10:39 (hours, minutes, seconds). assuming the average sleep time is 8 hours, then that's a little more than typical waking hours

it is INSANE that the grocery money that used to last my family the month (with maybe 3 or 4 days of me waiting till payday again) only lasts us now a week and a few days. barely two. inflation is getting on my NERVES !

[daydreambclievers]

okay but consider: one more later in life kiddo for anke and carter so that janna has a similar-age sibling

send me a pair name and I’ll tell you what I think it would be like if they had a child - always accepting

Name: Annalise “Lise” Marie Kingsley

Gender: female (she/her)

General appearance: Hair is usually at least partially up because she can’t stand it getting in her face. Lots of sweaters or sweatshirts and jeans. Can dress up but please don’t make her. Make up is usually very minimal if any.

Personality: A little bit of a drama queen, if we’re being totally honest. Every emotion is big so she’s actually great to go to if you want to celebrate because she’s probably going to be as excited for you as you are for yourself. Very smart, but a lot of people don’t seem to believe it because of her other personality traits.

Special Talents: She’s a very skilled mathematician and is getting a phd with the goal of eventually becoming a professor.

Who they like better: Carter. Not even a competition.

Who they take after more: Neither really in the personality department, but sort of Carter in the STEM career sense??

Personal Headcanon: She’s 2 and a half years younger than Janna so she’s the closest with her even though they are very different.

Bonus: She tried a few instruments growing up because Dee and Sandy are musically inclined and they were the Cool Older Siblings, but the only ones she even kind of liked were percussion and even that didn’t hold her attention for long.

“He trusts you, you know,” Moneypenny says, coming up behind him just as Q ends his phone call with his date. He’d been looking forward to it, too, starting anew at long last, moving forward, moving on. “More than me, more than anyone at this point, I think.”

Q sighs, a migraine slowly but surely starting to pulse and throb in his temples. "Is it bad that I wish he would trust me less right now?" Because for some reason, he doesn't doubt Eve's words, knows Bond wouldn't be here if it weren't true, but still, he hates that they make something too similar to a supernova burn in his chest. 

Eve raises an eyebrow at him, like she can tell he's lying through his teeth. "Would you really want him going to anyone else for help?"

No. No, Q would absolutely hate it, and they both know it. "One day, I will be able to tell him no," he says, and when he meets Eve's eyes, he can tell neither of them believe it.

I love being insane and rambling/loredumping for over an hour in a voice note about a niche thing in the lore/world of my nonexistent book that will probably never come up and is probably not important to the story at all that I know of because I haven't really started writing it yet besides two chapters and some snippets that were like a few years ago because I cannot be bothered to do research for a different WIP that is not even past the basic stages (the real inciting incident hasn't even happened) bc it's not a current priority before finishing the first draft that I have been working on for the last four years or the first draft of the other WIP I've been working on since the year two thousand and sixteen.
