Hey! Can I request a jaeden martell x reader where basically their charters are dating on a tv show and they are really really good best friends in real life and they they both go on the Jimmy fallon show and he keeps on asking if they’re dating because everyone thinks they are and when they say no he obvi doesn’t let it go lol and it ends up slipping up that jaeden did/ does have a crush on reader and they maybe end up sharing a kiss in front is Jimmy & audience & stuff😶just an idea i had 😂:)

i love this idea wow, thinking i’m going to put my own little twist on it but i think you’ll still be pleased ;)

just friends

warnings!: suggestive topics, fluff

word count: 2.1k

five

your face was being touched up with powder, the cotton pad dabbing at your nose as the white powder absorbed into any oil your face may have had.

four

you look over at jimmy, this wasn’t your first talk show, but it had been the biggest one with the most following. it was intimidating, you bounced your foot up and down and played with your hands.

three

behavior jaeden had grown to recognize. he knew you better then you knew yourself, your anxiety was worse then you put it out to be. “you ok?” he questioned, “fine, i’m fine” you painted a small smile on your face. but he wasn’t easily fooled.

two

he grabbed one of your hands and rubbed circles into your palm, this sent vibrations of relaxation down your spine.

one

his eyes locked with yours, you swore they were a different color each time you saw them. sometimes more blue, sometimes more green, sometimes dark with mystery, sometimes light and playful.

‘aaand where on air’

you wiped the hand that was interlocked with his off on your dress, it was clammy. the curtain came up fast, and your vision was soon flooded with bright lights and silhouettes of bodies.

making out the faces in the sea of people was impossible, but you knew your friends were out there. they had flown out to see you, a) they could go see new york and b) you were on national television, and they wouldn’t miss it for the world.

jimmy was talking, you knew that much, but your nerves took over and honestly you weren’t registering a damn thing he was saying. the crowd cheered, you snapped out of your daze.

“and here tonight, we have jaeden martell and y/n l/n from the new HBO tv series: turning tables”

he turned to both of us, and gave everyone time to clap. he tired to speak over the loud hands, moving on with his show, but the crowd made that difficult. eventually the clapping died out and he could continue.

“now, i’ve watched all of the episodes but, for the people who haven’t seen: can you explain what the show is about?” he looked a jaeden, you let go of a breathe you had held in.

“s-sure” jaeden turned to face the audience more, he was soft spoken and shy, so it was important he projected as much as he could.

“turning tables is a teen drama. it’s about families of poverty in the seattle washington area and how they struggle to go to school and work. my character, jennings cooper, is the main protagonist. the show is mainly from his point of view, and how he struggle to support his family.”

jimmy nods and smiles, he looks pleased with his explanation. i’m truth the show wasn’t that simple, he knew that. but, it would take so long to explain.

“and y/n, who do you play?” he knew the answer to this obviously, but you were becoming a crowd favorite. everyone loved your personality, and you were an up-and-coming a list celebrity.

“i play parker marlow, jennings girlfriend” you blushed at this statement, the crowd giggled and ‘ouuu’ed. jimmy rubbed his hands together, getting excited at the upcoming topic of discussion.

“so, your romance on season one was steamy” you thought back to the scenes you did together. all of the kissing, which felt normal at this point. he wasn’t a bad kisser, in fact- you didn’t mind it at all. your romance through the season built up to a sex scene, your mind flashed through the memories of filming it.

filming those scenes isnt half as steamy as you think it is. it’s awkward, you laugh a lot. you had never felt that exposed in your life! however watching it was different, it looked so real, so perfect.

you blurred out your thoughts, mr. fallon still speaking on the subject. “can we expect more -“ jimmy searched for your ship name, it was on the tip of his tongue. the combination of your first names on the show didn’t make an attractive combo. it was either jarker or pennings. your last names matched a little better.

“-carlow” jaeden finished for him. jimmy nodded and smiled “yes- carlow- can we expect more carlow next season?” you both looked at each other and smiled. the writers for the show already had the next four seasons laid out. you knew that carlow was a continuing relationship on the show.

“yes, you should expect more of that sort of content from us” you stated. the people in the crowd had a positive responce to this, the applause lapping until it died out once again.

“right, your characters have so much chemistry in the show. two struggling teens just trying to break even.” jaeden agreed “yes, our characters balance each other out, and being from the same background helps them associate. jennings is kind of a bad boy-as the ladies say- he’s a felon, he steels cars and sells them to counterfeit manufacturers and dealers for money. parker, y/n’s character, has a job at a diner. she shows him the light at the end of the tunnel if he chooses to go down a good path.”

“yes, parker gets jennings a job at the diner with her, and he falls for her sweet disposition even after everything she’s been through” you add.

jimmy licks his lips and pops another question: “so id imagine the chemistry in the show heightens the real life thing?” he cocked an eye brow, the group gasping at the intrusiveness.

“jaeden and i are just friends” you blurt out, your nerves working up again. it was hard, you liked jaeden ever since you had your first kiss with him.

“y-yeah” he stutters, he obviously wasn’t expecting this either “friends” jimmy shakes his head and puts his finger on his lip “recently, you both have been showing a lot of pictures of you two together on social media.”

the audience ‘awwwed’ at the photos that displayed behind you. on the screen, there were pictures of you and him that were on both of your instagrams. you two at gardens, getting food, even watching movies at each other’s houses.

“for just friends, these photos looks intimate , wouldn’t you say” a bunch of ‘yes’’s and ‘mhm’’s came from the crowd as both of your faces became red.

“we’re just best friends, honestly” jaeden laughed nervously, he fixed his hair with his hand has he always does.

“right right- can you tell me when this photo is from?” jimmy asked, the last picture flashing on the screen. it was of you both, you had just filmed your first scene together.

the first scene you filmed together was episode two, he saved you after you fell into ice cold water. it was how the characters met, and it was filmed at a cove on a windy august day.

the picture was a little blurry, but it added character. he had his arm around you, both of your hair soaked, and you share a huge towel. you remember how cold you were, your teeth chattered so rapidly. his hair was stuck to his forehead and more small pieces went up. and your lips were almost purple, half from the makeup, half because you swore that was the coldest water you had ever went in.

“that’s from when we first started filming, it was the first time we met in the show” you recited, re living the memory in your head. you remember jaeden pulling your head into his chest when the wind began blowing. you remember his thumb trying to create friction on your back to make you just a little warm.

“yes yes- you two look so adorable!” jimmy squealed, he was the most teenage-girl-grown-man you had ever met. his hand opened one of the drawers in the faux desk he sat behind, pulling out a small blue camcorder.

the camcorder.

you know how on tv shows, there is special footage? sometimes it’s just behind the scene specials but sometimes- sometimes - it’s footage the actors document when they were just having fun? yeah it was one of those camcorders.

the camcorder was brought in by the two other co hosts wyatt oleff and finn wolfhard (i know this cast is sooo original not really) they played jaedens two best friends on the show. while they weren’t filming, they’d dick around and talk about stupid stuff. you’d never seen what they filmed, but you had been featured quite a few times; their by them pranking you, or invading your personal space.

you looked over at jaeden, you watched his adam’s apple bob and a thin layer of sweat flush over his face. he bounced his leg slightly, a habit he had picked up from you.

“let’s just review our material here” jimmy teased, his tongue darting out between his teeth. the video began to play, the sound was loud; assumingely for jaeden quiet voice in the tape.

the video started with wyatts unsteady hand, him and finn were running around set, they stopped at jaeden, he was playing on his phone in his trailer.

“jaeden wesley we have come for you” finn yelled. you could see jaeden shoot up from his chair. “hey guys” he waved. they talked for around a minute, jokes and all. then finn started to giggle, wyatt zoomed in on jaedens face.

“so jaeden, how’s y/n?” he chuckled, jaeden blushed “she’s ok i guess dunno.” wyatt stopped zooming in when the only thing in frame was jaedens head. “the kiss was good hm?” wyatt asked. jaeden continued to play on his phone, he nodded. “yeah, she’s pretty cute too.”

the video cut to another segment, this was filmed after the sex scene. you knew because jaeden laid on the bed you, in the same underwear that he wore during the scene. the boys were jumping on the bed, and jaeden took the camera and talked to it.

“this is for memory and memory ONLY! h-hey y/nnn” he was talking to the camera like it was you “you’re amazing and cool” you could hear finn explode into laughter as he stole the camera back and started running “yeah! and he wants your babies and loves you so much-“ “SHUT UP FINN!!!” and jaeden chased him around.

the video was taken off the screen. your face had become close to ghostly white. it was weird, it was almost like he was dumb enough to think finn wouldn’t give jimmy this blackmail goldmine. you looked at jaeden, he hit his bottom lip until it was red, he itches his neck and laughed it off.

“yeah ok-ok jimmy, maybe i liked her back in the day” jaeden tried so hard to be casual, but jimmy hit him with a heart stopper: “but mr martell, the last clip was filmed less then a month ago!”

your mind flickered with memories and ideas of him.

your first time meeting, how good his hand felt in yours. when you wiped icecream off his chin, and him dotting icecream on to the top of your nose. the way his hair always fell perfectly above his eye brow. and SHIT how he always smelt so fucking good. how he let you fall asleep in his arms and how he never complained when you put on some stupid romcom and-

“y/n?” jimmy questioned. “huh?” you spaced, come on y/n you gotta stop doing that. “i asked how you felt about all of this.” “well, there isn’t a right word i can use.”

jaeden took this has a bad reaction, he did a small wave to the crowd and stood up to get off the stage.

you stood up, grabbed his hand, and laid one right on him. kissing him felt normal, but now that there was emotion behind it, it just felt so right.

you both stopped for air, the crowd went wild. jimmy was clapping too, you could barley hear them, your heart was pumping throughout your whole body. you swore jaeden could hear it.

after the show, you sat in your dressing room for a bit, contemplating the events of tonight, and how they were all broadcasted for your embarrassment. but it was only the beginning. only the beginning of what was to come for mr. and mrs. jaeden martell.

When You Least Expect It ~ @EddieCole_ @SydMarlow

I had a rare day off, but Eddie didn’t. I decided to get the grocery shopping done so we’d have more time together this weekend. I brought the first load of bags in and set them on the dining room table before getting the rest. After I got all the bags inside, I slipped off my shoes. I was always happier barefoot. Too bad it wasn’t the safest way to walk around the Quarter.

I grabbed one of the bags and was about to carry it into the kitchen when I heard water. Eddie was at work, so why would there be water running? Leaving the bag on the table, I made my way into the kitchen. I saw the water on the floor too late. It must have been a leak under the sink or from the dishwasher. Maybe the fridge I thought as my foot twisted out from under me. The last thing I remember is falling backwards. My head hit the corner of a cabinet just before everything went black.

----------------

I picked up my phone and sent a text to Fi. Then I texted my sister, checking on her and my niece. We went back and forth for a few minutes before I glanced at my watch. I thought Fi would have responded by now, but figured maybe she was driving home from the store.

I set my phone to the side and turned up the radio, listening to a few older songs play as I prepped some of the food for tomorrow’s catering job at a local hotel. I glanced at my watch again. It had been over 10 minutes already, surely by now she would have gotten home? I picked my phone up and called her. No answer, so I left her a message. I hung up and decided to give her a few more minutes, I didn’t want to crowd her.

When another 10 minutes had passed, I couldn’t stand it any longer. I tried calling her again but nothing. I told Tony, one of our pastry specialists, that I needed to run out for a bit. Since it was quiet and things were in good shape for tomorrow, he just waved and told me he had everything under control.

I drove home and saw Fi’s car parked out front. I hurried inside to find out if she was okay. As I got to the door, I called out, “Fi? Babe?” When I didn’t get any response, I made my way through the living room and into the kitchen. I lost the ability to breathe when I saw Fi laying on the floor of the kitchen, surrounded by water. I moved to her quickly and carefully knelt down beside her. “Fi, babe, can you hear me?” When she didn’t respond, I tried talking to her a few more times. I let out the breath I was holding when she opened her eyes. “Hey, I was starting to worry.”

-----------

Groaning as I tried to open my eyes, I slowly reached towards Eddie's voice. He took my hand and pressed it to his cheek. “Hey, I was starting to worry.” My mouth felt so dry. It took me a moment to answer him. “What...what happened?” I started to try to sit up, but pain shot thru my eyes and my ankle throbbed. I squeezed my eyes shut against the tears that threatened to spill.

-------------

I carefully eased her head up and slid my leg under her so she could prop her head on my leg. “I’m not sure. You didn’t answer my texts or calls, and I started to worry so I came here to see if you needed help with anything. I called out but you didn’t answer, so I started looking for you. I found you like this. There’s water all around you. I think you might have slipped.” At least I hoped that’s all it was.  I noticed she squeezed her eyes shut, “I think we need to get you to a doctor. The er is a little ways away, but the clinic isn’t too far from here.”

--------------

“Maybe the dishwasher,” I pointed towards it. “It must be leaking. Or the fridge. We need to turn the water off.” I was trying not to cry. I knew it would only make my head hurt more. I didn't want to go to the hospital. But my head hurt so much. Then I tried to move my right foot, but it just throbbed harder. “My right ankle. I don't think I can walk.” I felt silly and helpless as I lay there with my head in his lap, squeezing his hand in mine.

----------

“Okay, so here’s what we’re going to do. I’m going to carefully pick you up and carry you to the car. But before I do that, I’m going to try and get some of this water out of the way so I don’t slip. Will you be okay just for a second?” When she answered with a quiet “yes”, I pulled my shirt over my head and balled it up. “I’m going to put my shirt under your head so you’re head isn’t laying on the hard floor.” I carefully slid my leg out from under her and replaced it with my shirt.

I grabbed a mop and tried to quickly clean up the water, then turned the water off. The groceries would have to wait. Once that was done, I leaned down and carefully picked her up. “I’m sorry. I know you’re hurting. I’m trying to be gentle.” I carefully made my way out to the car with her in my arms. Once she was in the car, I grabbed a spare shirt I had and slipped it over my head before getting in and driving her to the clinic, all the while asking if she was okay and trying to keep her talking to me.

-------------

I couldn’t believe that what should have been a simple task had me in so much pain and on my way to the clinic. I kept apologizing to Eddie like I did this on purpose. Every single bump in the road sent shockwaves of pain through my foot and my head. I did my best to keep my eyes shut and try not to cry. Feeling this vulnerable was not a feeling I liked….at all. Poor Eddie. He was trying his best to drive while trying to keep me awake in case I had a concussion. Once we got to the clinic, I convinced him to park and grab one of the wheelchairs for me. I had a feeling he was going to try carrying me enough as it was depending on what was wrong with my ankle or foot.

---------------

Even though I thought it would be quicker for me to just carry her in, I did as she asked. When I went inside to get a wheelchair, I told the lady behind the desk what happened, or what I thought happened. Then I quickly made my way to the car to get Fi out. I locked the brakes on the wheelchair and helped her out of the car and settled her in the chair. Once I knew she was all set, and had her purse, I wheeled her inside to talk to the receptionist. All the while, hoping nothing major was wrong and trying not to get overly protective. I was mentally kicking myself enough already for not going home and checking on her sooner.

--------------

I tried not to flinch as Eddie helped me into the wheelchair. I might have grabbed his arm a little too firmly. He must have said something to the receptionist when he got the chair because we were met by a nurse right away. She directed us to an exam room and waited while Eddie helped me move to the exam bed. “So it sounds like you took a bad spill. I just need to get some information and take your vital signs before the doctor comes in, ok?” I forced a smile and reached for Eddie's hand. She ran through a series of questions about any medicine I might be taking, any health issues before my accident, and when my last period was. “Um...I don't remember.” She smiled and told me not to worry before taking my blood pressure (which was a little high), my pulse and my temperature. “The doctor will be right with you,” she said before stepping out.

------------

After the nurse left, I squeezed Fi’s hand gently, “Are you okay? Do you need anything?” I wasn't sure what to do, I felt helpless. She was in pain, and there wasn't any way I could take it away. “I'll call Kyle or Logan when we get home, see if they know anyone who can come and check out the leak, someone who knows what they’re doing.” I wasn't sure if any of that mattered to her, but I figured it couldn't hurt for me to tell her I'd take care of it. That way if she was worried about it, she didn't have to.

------------------

Before I could thank Eddie for thinking ahead like that, there was a knock on the door and a lady who seemed familiar stepped in. “Hi, Serafina? I’m Sydney Marlow. You can call me Syd. I hear you took a pretty bad fall.” I tried sitting up a little but it just made my head hurt even more. “Yes, I’m Fi. Have we met before?” She smiled and nodded. “I think you were here when Mandi and Wyatt had their baby. You’re Eddie, Mandi’s brother, right?” He nodded and squeezed my hand. “Can you tell me exactly what hurts?” I gestured to the back of my head and then Eddie showed her my swollen ankle. I don’t remember a whole lot that happened after that. She shined a light of some kind in my eyes, and it almost made me pass out.

----------------

When I checked Fi’s eyes, they seemed to be responsive and her pupils were the same size. I asked Eddie to help her sit forward a little so I could look at the back of her head. There was some bleeding and a slight lump, but I didn’t think there was a concussion. I grabbed a gel ice pack and wrapped it in a towel before having Eddie help her lay back with the cool pack under her head. “Does that help?” She closed her eyes and nodded a little with a quiet “thank you.”

“I’ll get you something to take as soon as we look at your ankle.” I carefully pushed her jeans up so I could see her foot better. She whimpered when I touched it. “I’m sorry, Fi. I’ll try to make this quick. Take some deep breaths for me, ok?” Eddie leaned down and whispered something to her that seemed to help. They took several deep breaths together as I examined her ankle. “I don’t think it’s broken. It’s probably a bad sprain. I’d like to get a quick x-ray just to be sure. Eddie, do you think you can lift her into that wheelchair for me?”

-------------------

I nodded and took a step towards Fi, “Yes ma’am, I can.” I leaned down and slid my arms around her, picking her up. When I turned to place her in the wheelchair, I gave her a quick kiss. Once she was set, I stood and walked behind her, taking a hold of the chair. “If you’ll lead the way, I can push her. Unless I don’t need to follow?” I wasn’t even sure Fi would want me to go with them, if I was allowed. I didn’t want to seem like I was taking over her or being pushy.

--------------

I tried not to flinch when he picked me up. His kiss was so light that it nearly brought me to tears again. Tears I couldn’t afford to shed. Not when my head was finally starting to hurt a little less with the ice pack. I whispered “Love you” before he let go of me completely. I reached up to place my hand on his as Syd directed him towards the x-ray room. Once we got there, she asked him to have a seat. Once she had my foot set for the x-ray, she explained, even she had to step out of the room to take the picture. He kissed me once more and reassured me that he’d be right outside before reluctantly taking a seat.

--------------

I wheeled Fi into the x-ray room and carefully helped her move to the table. “This might hurt but I’ll be as quick and gentle as I can.” She nodded and forced a smile as I turned her foot and laid the x-ray plate where I needed it. I then placed a heavy protective apron over her chest, abdomen and upper legs. “I noticed that you weren’t sure of your last period. Is there any chance you could be pregnant? There’s no need to worry about this x-ray if you are. I just need to make sure I prescribe the right medication if any.”

--------------

I sighed and looked around. I couldn’t help but wonder if something was wrong. It shouldn’t be taking this long, should it? I couldn’t sit still. I got up and paced...and paced. When there was still no sign of Fi or her doctor, I sighed and sank back into the chair, tapping my foot as the seconds ticked by.

-------------

If there was a more uncomfortable position for my foot to be in for this x-ray, I couldn’t imagine it. I did my best to stay still while Syd placed the heavy apron on me. I almost didn’t hear her question. “I don’t think so? I’m sorry. I can’t concentrate with this headache.” “That’s ok, Fi. I can just give you a quick blood test. Let’s get this x-ray over and get you back to that ice pack, ok?” I gave her a grateful smile and held still while she stepped out of the room and took the x-ray.

------------

Once I took the x-ray, I asked our technician to send the results to me as soon as they were ready. I helped Fi take off the apron and get back in the wheelchair.  Then I wheeled her out of the room to where Eddie was waiting for us. “We should have the results in a few minutes, Eddie. Why don’t you take her back to the room, and I’ll get what we need for that blood test while we wait?” I reminded him which room we were in and told them I’d be with them shortly.

---------------

I stood the minute I heard the door open. “Yes, ma'am, I can do that.” I walked behind the wheel chair and leaned down, kissing Fi's head. When Syd walked off, I began pushing the chair back to the exam room, “Everything okay?” I had thought I heard Syd say something to Fi about a blood test, but wasn't sure. Why would she need one anyway?

----------------

He was so gentle and careful as he lifted me out of the chair and laid me on the exam bed. I closed my eyes once the ice pack was back in place numbing my headache. “Something about making sure I’m not pregnant before she gives me any medicine. She said it was a standard precaution since I can't remember my last period.” I took his hand and tried not to move while we waited for Syd.

-----------------

I knocked on the door before walking back in. “How's that ice pack feel, Fi?” I asked as I set the supplies down to take a sample of her blood. “Better. Thanks.” “Good. Any problem with needles I need to know about before I take a sample of your blood?” She laughed a little when she said no. “Just relax and focus on Eddie.” I checked her arm for a good vein, tied off her upper arm and then wiped the spot off with alcohol. “This might sting a bit.” A few moments later, I had a vial of blood, and Fi had a bandage in place. “I’m going to drop this off and check on your x-ray. I’ll be right back.”

-----------

As Syd left, I gently squeezed Fi's hand. “I'm so sorry, Fi. I should have been there to help you. If I had, you probably wouldn't be hurt right now.” I hadn't meant to say the words out loud. But once they were out, there was no taking them back. I meant my apology, more than anything, but I wasn't sure now was the time to voice it. I had meant to wait til we were at home or at least in the car going home. I didn't want her to feel like it was forced or that I thought that's what she wanted to hear.

-----------------

I pulled Eddie’s hand against my cheek. “Babe, you have nothing to apologize for. There was no way we could tell from the outside that there would be water all over the kitchen.” I’m just glad you came to check on me. If you had been with me, we might both be still sitting there waiting for help.” I laughed a little at the image of both of us in a heap on the kitchen floor. “I’m gonna be fine. I promise.” He sighed softly as he brushed the hair from my eyes and then leaned in to kiss me. Moments later there was a knock, and Syd walked back in with some papers.

-------------

When I returned to Fi and Eddie, I had good news. “I have some good news. I saw your x-ray, and there is no break or even a slight fracture. You just have a bad sprain.” I smiled when they both seemed relieved. “I’ll wrap your foot in a compression bandage and give you some crutches. I’ll need you to try and stay off it as much as you can for a few days. The bump on your head and your ankle should be better fairly quickly. The only negative is that I can’t prescribe anything stronger than Extra Strength Tylenol for you.” Fi seemed confused and glanced at Eddie. I set her file on the counter since I had already triple checked the results. “Darlin’, you’re pregnant. About six weeks based on your hormone levels.”

-------------

My head shot from Fi to Syd, “Did you say pregnant?” As Syd nodded, I turned to Fi. I opened my mouth to say something or at least that was the plan. The last thing I remember, before the blackness, was the floor quickly rising to meet my face.

-------------

If he had been holding my hand any tighter, he would have pulled me off the bed and onto the floor with him. Syd motioned for me to lie still and quickly moved to his side. She shoved a pillow under his head and called his name. My heart was racing so fast that I didn’t even feel any pain from my head or my foot anymore. I was too worried about my boyfriend lying motionless on the ground. “Is he okay?”

------------

I remember thinking that was not what I expected as I hurried to Eddie’s side and made sure he didn’t do any serious damage to his head before slipping a pillow under him. “Eddie? Come on, darlin’. Open your eyes.” I lightly patted his cheeks and shook his shoulder trying to wake him.” “Is he okay?” I looked up at Fi. “He’s gonna be fine. You just stay put and keep that ice on your head. I’ve only got two hands.” She smiled a little and kept her eyes glued on Eddie. Finally after calling his name again he started to moan. “That’s it. Open your eyes for me, Eddie. Nice and easy.”

--------------

I groaned as I opened my eyes. At first I was confused as to where I was and who was leaning over me. “Syd?” At her chuckle, I slowly sat up. “Easy, Eddie.” I nodded, “I’m fine, honest. I swear I heard you say that she was pregnant. Did you?” Syd grinned and nodded. I looked up at Fi, watching her face carefully. Until I knew how she felt, I wasn’t going to give any reaction...well more than I already had!

--------------

I watched quietly as Syd helped Eddie up and slid a stool underneath him so she could get a better look at his head. Guess she didn't trust him to stay on his feet just yet. I closed my eyes as I lay with the ice pack under my head. My hand slowly reaching out for his. “I think we should make a pact that only one of us can fall per month or something,” I tried teasing him even though I wasn't sure I was joking. Pregnant? I was afraid to open my eyes. What if he didn't want kids? What if he felt like I trapped him?

------------

Once I made sure that Eddie was ok, I decided it might be a good idea to give them a few minutes alone since her pregnancy seemed to be a surprise to both of them. “Don't move off that stool, Eddie. I’m going to get a pair of crutches for Fi and an extra bandage. I’ll be back in a few minutes, ok?” I grabbed a bottle of water from the mini fridge and handed it to Eddie before leaving them alone.

----------

I took the bottle from Syd, thanking her quietly. When she left the room, I looked over at Fi and took a sip of the water before placing the bottle on the counter. “Penny for your thoughts?” I waited for a moment, but she didn’t say anything or open her eyes. I slid off the stool and stood beside her, taking her hand. “Fi? Are you okay?”

----------------

I squeezed his hand, but my voice felt so small. “I don't know what I am. Are...are we okay?” I swallowed and turned to look at him. “I swear I didn't know. I….I didn't plan this. I wouldn't do that to you. To us.” I was so scared that this was going to push us apart. I don't know if it was the shock or the bump on my head. I couldn't shake the feeling of overwhelming dread that Eddie didn't want any of this.

------------

I squeezed her hand softly and brought her hand to my lips and kissed her knuckles, “Fi, we’re fine. I promise. I know you didn’t do this on purpose. The thought never even crossed my mind. It was just a major shock to both of us. But we’re fine, really. I’m just worried about you. You haven’t been saying much of anything, well before then. I need you to be honest with me though, Love. What’s going through your head right now? How do you feel about this...development?” I wanted to tell her that everything would be okay, that we could do this. But I didn’t know if she wanted to do this. I didn’t want to push her to do something she didn’t want to just because she thought I wanted it. I needed to know how she felt about all of this before I told her how I felt.

-------------

I remember thinking “hormones suck” as he kissed the back of my hand because my eyes started to tear up. “So much is running through my head that I can't catch any of it.” I tried sitting up a little, but the ice pack shifted and made me flinch. “I can't tell if I’m excited or scared or happy or just in shock. All I know is that I love you, and I want to go home.” I was trying to be honest. I really had no idea what to think.

----------

I smiled, “It's okay to feel all of those things. This is a major change for us. I love you too, Fi. I'm not going anywhere. I promise.” I fixed the ice pack behind her head and then kissed her softly. “When Syd comes back, we'll talk to her and then head home. Promise. And we can stop for a snack or dinner to take back. We will figure everything out. For now, let's get you checked out and taken care of. One step at a time, Love.”

-----------------

I kissed him back. The touch of his lips grounding me in the present...at least for the time being. “First things first, huh?” I smiled briefly and squeezed his hand. Syd knocked a few minutes later and walked in with crutches and a bandage. “Hey. You guys doing ok?” I looked up at Eddie. “Mostly? Really just want to go home.” She smiled, “Let's get you bandaged up. In two or three weeks, I want you to come back and we’ll have a proper prenatal visit. Right now, let's focus on having you rest and stay off your foot for a few days. Focus on healing this sprain, ok?” I exhaled softly as I laced my fingers in Eddie’s. “I think that's probably a good idea.” I tried not to move while Syd wrapped my foot.

--------------------------

I held her hand as her foot was bandaged and listened as Syd reminded her again to stay off her foot. I chuckled quietly to myself as I wondered how many days she was actually going to do it. I looked at Syd, “I promise I'll take good care of her and make sure she rests.” Syd smiled and nodded. She handed Fi a bottle of prenatal vitamins and told her to take one a day. I made a mental note to set an alarm to remind myself to get them for her. I listened to every instruction as Syd continued to talk to Fi.

---------------

Prenatal vitamins. Wow. I just kept staring at them in my hand until Eddie gently took them from me and slipped them in my bag. “Fi, Syd asked you a question.” His voice startled me out of….wherever my head went. “I’m sorry. What did you say?” Syd carefully moved the ice pack from behind my head. “I asked how bad the headache was, darlin’.” Headache. Right. “It's better. Not great, but better.” Syd turned to Eddie, probably because I was so out of it. “Extra strength Tylenol is fine. You can give her ice for her headache and ankle once you get home. After a couple of days resting, she should be good as new.” I know he responded, but I have no idea what he said. All of a sudden, it hit me that my fall could have been worse. “I….what….the...um...the baby….,” I didn't know how to ask, but the look on my face must have spoken loudly enough. Syd rested her hand on my arm. “I gave Eddie a list of things to watch out for, darlin’. Spotting, bleeding, cramps. Not being able to wake you up. Just a precaution. Try not to worry.”

----------------

I could tell by the look on Fi’s face, that she was already worrying. I took her hand and squeezed it softly, “Hey, no worries. Syd took really good care of Mandi, and I'm sure she'll do the same by you. We aren't going to let anything happen, Love. I promise.” I softly kissed her hand. I wasn't sure I was doing any good as far as calming her down and easing her worries, but I was trying.

----------------

Syd grabbed the wheelchair while Eddie helped me sit up slowly. They got on either side of me and helped me get seated so Eddie could take us home. I thanked Syd and took the crutches from her. “Get some rest, Fi. Call, text, email me no matter what time with any questions or concerns, ok?” I gave her a slight smile. “Thanks. I will.” Eddie gave my shoulder a light squeeze and wheeled me out to the front so he could go get the car.

-----------------

I brought the car around and helped Fi from the wheelchair to the car. Once she was settled, I took the wheelchair back inside and quickly returned to the car. I slid behind the wheel and buckled my seatbelt, starting the car. “Are you okay? Do you want or need anything before we head home?” I carefully pulled onto the road and merged with the traffic.

---------------

I was so relieved to be heading home. If my headache wasn't so bad, I think my head might have spun. Once Eddie got back in the car, I slipped my hand into his before he started driving us home. “Are you okay?” His voice startled me. “Better. Just….wow.” Eddie tried not to laugh, but I couldn't blame him. Better than the alternative, right? “Do you want or need anything before we head home?” I looked over at him. “We should probably get something to eat, huh? I’m not really hungry, but….?” I shrugged with a slight smile and lightly rested a hand on my stomach. “Don't think I have a choice.”

---------------

As I stopped at a light, I leaned over and kissed her cheek, “Maybe we could stop and get something to take home. You don't have to eat right away, but it will be there when you get ready for it. You're still in shock, we both are, so you don't have to rush to eat. When we get home, you'll start to relax a little and maybe you'll be hungry then?” I started driving again when the light turned green. I wasn't going to force her to eat if she wasn't hungry. She had been through a lot today, and I didn't wanna add to her stress.

------------------

He was trying so hard to make things easy on me. I gave his hand a squeeze. “I don’t think I'm up to going inside anywhere right now,” I laughed as I gestured to my bandaged foot. “So getting food to go is probably a good idea. Not sure it matters whether I’m hungry or not for the next few months.” He glanced over with the oddest look on his face. “Um….,” I started to laugh nervously. “Eating for two?” I looked down at my stomach, then quickly back at Eddie. “ It better just be two of us. Please tell me multiples do not run in your family.” I was so tired and sore and….overwhelmed that everything was funny at the moment. I guess it was better than the alternative which would only make my head hurt worse.

--------------------

I couldn't help but chuckle, “Well, I did have this distant cousin who had triplets.” At her shocked intake of breath, I couldn't help but laugh more. “Fi, I'm just kidding. Honest. There have never been any multiples in my family. At least not to my knowledge.” I pulled her hand to my lips and kissed it. “So, the question at the moment, is where do you want food from? Or should it be any weird cravings yet?” When I glanced in her direction, I was glad I was driving and she couldn't get even with my joke at that moment. As I drove, I was glad to hear her laughing a little, though I wasn't sure how long that was going to last.

-------------------

One of these days, when I was feeling better, I was definitely going to have to get payback for his twisted sense of humor. “Something messy and bad for us? Like…..um….bacon double cheeseburgers with cheesy fries?” Although I wasn’t hungry, not really, eating something that was rich and fattening and messy sounded like the perfect meal to have when you find out you are unexpectedly expecting. Sorta like drowning your sorrows which weren’t really sorrows in something that was definitely not alcoholic.

-----------------

I nodded and headed towards our favorite burger place. “Do you want to call ahead and put our order in? That way we won't have that long of a wait. I think a bacon double cheeseburger and cheesy fries sound good.” I was hoping that getting something to eat would help how she was feeling. Right now, I was worried about Fi. I knew the news of her being pregnant was a surprise to us both, but I didn't think it was a bad one.

-----------------

“Sounds like a good idea,” I said before kissing his cheek. I slowly reached for my phone in my bag near my feet. Luckily the number was in my contacts since it was a favorite of ours. I placed our orders adding two chocolate shakes which got a chuckle out of Eddie. After thanking them, I told him it would be ready in 15-20 minutes. “Milkshakes are calcium, right? Totally justified.” I dropped my phone back in my bag and rested my head against the back of the seat, closing my eyes as he drove.

--------------

I chuckled as I stopped at a light, “If you say so, Babe.” I watched as she closed her eyes, sighing quietly. I was worried about her, for more than one reason. The fall, the pregnancy shock, it was all a lot to take in at one time. As I hit the gas when the light turned green, I realized I didn't know how she felt about being pregnant. Was she happy, sad, scared, mad? I didn't want to bombard her with questions. Now wasn't the time. I knew that. I also knew eventually we would talk about everything; we always did. I just had to give her time to process everything.

--------------------

I must have fallen asleep. The next thing I remember was the smell of food and Eddie shaking my shoulder gently. “Hey,” I smiled as I rubbed my eyes. “Sorry I fell asleep on you.” Eddie chuckled and leaned in to kiss me. “You stay put. I’m gonna take your bag, crutches and the food inside and then come get you, ok?” I nodded and left my belt buckled so he didn't think I’d try anything dumb.

--------------------

I made the quick trip inside and set everything down and out of the way. One more bag added to the rest of the groceries. First things first. I returned to the car and smiled as I got there. I opened her door and knelt down, “Hey, you ready to head in?” When she smiled and nodded, I leaned forward and kissed her. “When I go to scoop you up, slip your arms around me and hold on. I promise I won't drop you, even going up the steps.” I picked her up, kicked the car door shut, and headed inside with her. “Living room or bedroom? You pick and I'll take you and come back for our food.”

----------------------

My head rested against his shoulder while he carried me inside. I would have been content to stay right where I was when he asked me where to next. “Couch is fine. Thanks.” He gently laid me down and quickly tucked some pillows behind my back and under my foot. “Could you get me some Tylenol from the bathroom, babe? I can probably take it now that we have some food.” Food….shit! “The groceries!”

----------------

“Relax, Love. I’ll take care of them. You first.” I headed to the bathroom and got the Tylenol. Next was the kitchen to get a bottle of water before returning to Fi’s side. “Here ya go, Babe.” I opened the bottle and handed it to her along with the medicine. “You just relax, and I’ll put the groceries away quickly. Then I'll go get the plates and stuff, okay?” I didn't want to be overly pushy. I just wasn't sure what she wanted or needed right now. Did she want to be alone to process everything? Did I? No, I didn't. But that didn't mean she didn't.

-----------------

“Thanks,” I smiled as I took the bottle and read the label a little more closely than I ever had before. I shook two caplets out and set the bottle on the coffee table before swallowing the Tylenol with a swig of water. After taking the meds, I closed my eyes and rested my head against the back of the couch.

I must have nodded off. “Babe? Are you still hungry?” I opened my eyes and saw Eddie standing there looking at me. “How can we not eat now? It smells so good,” I smiled as I looked up at Eddie. His face. He looked….I’m not sure how to describe it. Scared? Nervous? Confused? “Honey,” I said as I took his hand. “Breathe. Please?” I tugged him a little closer and reached up to kiss him. Pressing my forehead to his while still keeping hold of his hand. “I’m okay. We’re okay. We’ll figure this out. I promise. Right now, let’s just pretend it’s a stay at home date night and enjoy our food. Deal?”

---------------------

I kissed her again and smiled, “Deal. I'll be right back. I'm gonna grab the plates, napkins, and forks. While I do that, why don't you find us something good to watch?” She smiled. “And an ice pack for my foot?” “You got it.” I kissed her once more and went to gather everything for our dinner. Once I had everything, I headed back to the living room.

-----------------

I reached for my milkshake and the remote while Eddie got our plates. My headache was starting to go away, but I didn't feel like watching anything I had to concentrate on. When he returned, I gave him two options. “Food Network or whatever movie is currently on Syfy even if we’ve seen it.” He laughed and busied himself with getting our food on plates and sneaking me cheesy fries while doing so. “Ladies choice,” he said with a grin once we had our food. Somehow he had figured out how to balance my legs and a small pillow across his lap while letting my ankle rest on the ice pack on the other side of him. “You are quite talented, babe,” I laughed as I turned on the sci-fi movie and handed him his milkshake.

Every Baby Name We Could Possibly Think Of

Naming your baby is a big decision, and with endless options, it can also be a difficult one. Whether you're going the traditional route or want something more unique (if so, read this first!) it's helpful to have a little, or a lot, of inspiration. Ahead, you'll find nearly every baby name we could think of (close to 1,000!). These aren't just random names we found in a book or concocted ourselves - they're almost all monikers we've heard being used, or we actually know someone who goes by the name.

Sensor Sweep: Dungeon Fantasy, Infinity War, Saber & Blood, Halo for Hire

RPG (Walker’s Retreat): “Geek Gab Game Night is irregular these days, but worth it when it happens. It happened today, and Dorrinal hosts both Douglas Cole and Sean Punch (“Dr. Kromm”) to talk about their new hotness:

Sean Punch, also known as Dr. Kromm, works for Steve Jackson Games. He joins us along with our old friend Douglas Cole to talk about Dungeon Fantasy RPG and Cole’s new adventure for the setting, Hall of Judgment!

Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Well hit the button below and settle in for an episode of tabletop gaming fun.”

  Writing (Erindor Press): “The most important thing you’ll do for your story is to get the details right. Spending time on research is every bit as important as writing the prose. Why? Because research is writing. If you’re an independent author who creates your own deadlines, you may want to rethink some things…

Your daily word-count goal is killing you (AKA “An odd place to begin this article, but trust me…”)

I hear the collective gasp! coming from the peanut gallery, believe me. But, I’ve also seen you all on social media, constantly bemoaning that you’re not making your daily word-count quotas, as if something mystical happens when you reach 2000 words.”

  Cinema (RMWC Reviews): “Since Infinity War hits very, very soon, the thing to do seems to be to make a survey of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole. So yeah, time to rank the movies according to my own arcane standards. Do note that even if I drop a movie somewhere down at the bottom, that doesn’t mean its not entertaining or competently made. I’d rather watch The Incredible Hulk again instead of Electra or X-Men Origins: Wolverineever again.”

  Writing (Rawle Nyanzi): “A few days ago, I wrote a post detailing the far-left bias in traditional publishing; this bias is so pervasive that anyone even slightly non-extreme leftist must go indie to have a career at all. Now, from the UK, we have a report (archive) that stories about traditional masculinity will be avoided.

The reasoning given is that such men are dangerous to women, and thus the publishers must motivate boys to be safe and non-sexual; #MeToo and #TimesUp are cited as inspirations for this new direction.”

  RPG (RPG Pundit): “In this week’s session, the PCs faced a trio of challenges in the town of Tombstone. Also, Doc Holliday finally got to town, just in time to stop a scumbag called Johnny Tyler from taking a shot at Wyatt Earp (and Jackson, who was chatting with him outside the oriental) with a shotgun!”

  Gaming (Table Top Gaming News): “Central Europe. 1600s. The different states within the Holy Roman Empire are regularly fighting against one-another. There’s plenty of opportunity for those that want to make war their business to ply their trade. That’s where you find yourself in Saber & Blood, a new card-driven board game that’s up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

It’s the grim 17th century Middle Europe! A time full of war, lust, blood and glory! Become an ataman of a Zaporozhian Cossack’s band, or lead a group of cunning Polish Nobles in a brawl of vicious fencing combat! Saber & Blood is a card driven board game with unique fencing dice mechanics for 2-4* players (* with unlocked expansions).”

  Manga (Pulp Rev): “The age of the warring states is over, and all of Japan is unified under the Tokugawa Shogunate. But the shadow of the Sengoku jidai still casts a pallor over the nation. Disgraced samurai and poor peasants turn to banditry and crime, and ninja stalk the shadows and untamed hills. Sword schools across the country battle to demonstrate their supremacy. The age of peace may have come, but it is still the age of the sword. It is still the age of samurai.”

  Magazines (Altus Press): “Black Mask (Spring 2018)$4.99 – $14.95

by Robb T. White, Jonathan Sheppard, Richard Billingsley, J.D. Graves, Brian Townsley, J. Allan Dunn, Paul Ernst, Dan Cushman, Frederick Nebel, and H. Bedford-Jones

Black Mask, the greatest American detective magazine of all time, is back with another issue featuring five all-new stories, plus vintage har

d-boiled classics from the pulp era of the 1930s-40s. And it includes a never-before published cover by James Lunnon, painted for Black Mask in 1940.”

Fiction (P. J. Thorndyke): “Firmly in the Edgar Rice Burroughs tradition of sword and sorcery adventures on Mars, Leigh Brackett flips the John Carter story on its head by making her

hero, Matthew Carse, an interplanetary archaeologist in the distant future who, through some mystical force, is transported millions of years into the past. The Mars he winds up in is vastly different from the dusty world of dry sea beds and ruined cities he knows. Here, the seas of Mars are brimming and roamed by slave galleys while the empire of Sark and the realm of the Sea-Kings are locked in an uneasy stalemate.”

Magazines (Broadswords and Blasters): “Issue 5 of Broadswords and Blasters Available Now!

That’s right, year two of the indie magazine officially started last week with the release of issue 5. And, while we love all of our little mutant babies, we feel especially proud of this issue. So what will you find inside Issue 5? ‘After War’: A retelling of the African tale of Yennenga of Burkina Faso by Alison McBain.  Irini’: A princess is caught in the middle of a palace coup, and discovers more about her family than she ever realized. An excellent slipstream fantasy by Aaron Emmel.”

Pulp Fiction Reprints (Haffner Press): “Of all of Raymond Chandler’s followers, the most Chandlerish of them all might have been Howard Browne. His private eye hero, PAUL PINE, is simply one of the great eyes, no matter how inspired by (or derivative of ) Chandler’s Philip Marlowe he might have been. All the Pine books are well worth reading, and A Taste of Ashes (1957) in particular is just a flat-out, stone-cold private eye classic. Pine is a former investigator for the Illinois State attorney’s office in Chicago who works as a P.I. in Chicago. He’s got the obligatory cynicism, snappy similes and metaphors down pat, though he tends to be a bit more down to earth than Marlowe, and often mocks his own tendencies to moroseness and world-weariness.”
