Back at it again with another Mia and Pio Mario fic! This fic was originally planned to be inserted in an updated version of I've Never Left Your Side, but then I realised that it would be much more reliable to just write mini stories set in their own pocket of time ^^
This takes place sometime between the first and second scans of Mia's pregnancy. There is once again implied nsfw. If you are not comfortable with that, maybe skip this one.

The Changes of Now, Brings Us Closer In The Moment
"Mia?", called Pio as he stepped inside the hall.
He already knew that there was no one else in the house. Arthur and Tony were at their jobs, while Pa was out attending bingo with some old friends.
"Here", called Mia from their bedroom.
He knocked once before stepping inside. He found Mia standing in front of the mirror Her hands were gently caressing her exposed bump. She was smiling, but it was faint, and her eyebrows were knitted into a frown.
"Amore?", said Pio cautiously, his heart staring to race a little. "Everything ok?"
Mia turned to regard him.
"Am I doing enough?", she asked quietly.
He was taken aback by the question.
"What do you mean? Mia, are you alright?! Are the babies ok?!"
"Yes yes, they're fine", said Mia, quick to sooth his nerves.
His eyes darted from her face, to her belly, and then back again to her face, and his heart stuttered at the fact that he could see tears glistening in her eyes. He cautiously approached her, holding out his arms, and she fell into them almost immediately.
"Do you want to talk about it?", he spoke softly into her hair.
"Oh Pio", Mia sighed. "I don't know why I'm even fretting over this. I just feel so..."
She stepped back a little and pressed her palms to her eyes.
"I'm just...so overwhelmed. There's so many emotions brewing inside me all at once."
She paused to take a breath, for she was having trouble speaking. She placed a hand on her stomach; it trembled a little, like she felt undeserving of the contact.
"I love them so much", she said. "And I haven't even met them yet."
She laughed at the last part through her choked voice and watery eyes.
"I just want to do everything I can for them. You're working so hard to provide. Marie has been wonderful helping us get stuff. Tony and Arthur are shaping up to be good uncles already. And Pa is so excited! Meanwhile, I'm just sitting here and waiting!"
Pio felt as if he couldn't breathe. He couldn't stand seeing her like this. And he wouldn't let her be any longer.
He pulled her closer so that her forehead rested against his. Then he reached down and placed a hand on her belly.
"Oh Mia. I don't think you realise how much you're doing already. You're carrying something so precious. You're doing more than any of us combined."
She smiled at him, but it didn't quite meet her eyes.
"They deserve so much. And here I am complaining. I feel so selfish."
She trailed off after that last word, her lip trembling.
Pio held her tighter.
"You're allowed to feel this way, amore. Despite what you said, I wish I could be here all day with you. I want to be there every moment with you and the babies."
"And you are!", she assured him, brushing a hand through his hair. "Nothing makes me as happy than when you get home and I can tell you what the babies have been up to all day."
He smiled, a profound feeling coming over him.
"You're so full of love, Mia. Always putting others before yourself. I want to remind you that you're deserving of that love back."
He trailed his hand up into her hair, stroking her temple as they stood lost in each other's eyes.
The air was growing warmer and heavier. Something familiar and desperate had come over them both, and they sensed the other's growing anticipation.
He didn't fail to notice the seductive way she pulled herself towards him, her hands gracing his arms and then his back.
"And I you", said Mia. "I'm so thankful that you've stuck with me all this time "
"I'm always here. For the rest of our lives."
Her husband eyed her intensely, and then he made the next move, trailing kisses over her shoulder. Emphasising each one with loving words.
Mia could sense the intense feeling inside her growing all the more. So powerful that she felt it close to shattering.
She let out a breath that she hadn't realised she had been holding, and let him love her.
* * *
She awoke some time later with Pio holding her in a loving embrace, his hand entangled in her hair.
He sensed her waking, and opened his eyes.
"Hello, amore", Mia smiled.
"Hello, mia bella dea", said Pio, kissing her on the lips.
She giggled as he nuzzled her nose. Then she looked at him, suddenly serious.
"You know, we need to be careful. If we keep this up, we'll end up with more babies."
She burst out laughing at the look on his face.
"I'm joking!", she shrieked.
She suddenly stopped laughing when she realised that he wasn't joining in.
She sat up a little, and felt her whole body turn cold at how downcast he looked.
"Pio? Oh Pio I'm sorry! It was just a joke!"
"No no, it's not that", Pio quickly assured her. He looked distracted, like he was trying to work out what to say before it had properly formed.
"Then tell me, amore", Mia coaxed. She laid back down and caressed her fingers through his hair.
"It's just...", Pio swallowed, unsure of himself. He reached up and cupped her face.
"Amore, please do not mishear what I am about to say. We are blessed. So very blessed. And I could not be more happier. We're so lucky. But....I can't help but feel like I have put too much on you so soon."
He watched her brows furrow in confusion before continuing.
"Those things you said earlier, they reminded me...that you wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for me. That night, in the other world, all I could think about was loving you more than I ever have in my entire years of living...We've always been careful before, but that night, I didn't stop and think. I just wanted you so bad."
"As did I", Mia stated.
She sat up a little and cupped his face.
"I don't regret that night. I'm just as much responsible. All I care about is that we were in love, and we made something wonderful. And besides, I would do it all over again if I could."
She emphasized her last point by kissing him passionately.
"But even still...", Pio muttered, as they pulled apart. "What about now? How could I act so careless when you're in a vulnerable state?"
"Because we missed each other?", Mio answered cheekily. "Did it feel good at least?"
Well...Yeah!", Pio answered. Mia giggled as he turned red. "But I'm just afraid of making a mistake...What if I hurt you, or the babies?"
"Have you been talking to the guys at work again?", Mia asked, already expecting the answer.
"Well..."
"I'm not vulnerable. If the doctor said it was safe, then it's alright. Although, we'll likely not be able to do this later when I'm much bigger."
"That doesn't matter", Pio said. He gently caressed her bump. "I just want to do all I can for you and the babies. I want to make sure you're happy."
"I am happy", Mia replied warmly.
Pio then pulled her close, and his wife giggled again when he nuzzled her nose and kissed all over her face with ravish affection.
But just before anything else could go further, they heard a noise beyond the door.
"Oi, Pio, you in there bro?", came Arthur's voice.
"Oh no!", Pio groaned as he tried to burrow under the covers, as if hoping that would make him less conspicuous.
"Best go and pacify them", Mia chortled as she petted his hair.
With another groan, Pio peeled himself from the bed and, after getting himself decently dressed, pulled open the door and then closed it behind him before his brothers could look in.
"Would you two not make so much noise?", he huffed. "Mia is resting."
"Well", Tony chuckled. His eyes passed over his brother's dishevelled hair and flushed cheeks. "Judging by your state of appearance I would say she definitely needs a well earned sleep."
Pio went even redder as his younger brother hollered with laughter.
"Hey bro leave it", said Arthur, nudging Tony in the ribs. "They're adults after all."
"Yeah but...when she's pregnant?"
"Ain't nothing wrong with a man showing his partner some love. No matter when."
"Just because Marie keeps talking about having a kid with you, doesn't mean you need to share all the details with me!"
Now Arthur was the one to go red this time, and shoved his brother with such force he nearly toppled him over.
"Anyway", Tony managed to wheeze through his laughter. "I'm honestly really happy for you both. But just try to keep your pastimes to a relaxed degree. We don't want a dozen bambino around the house!"
Pio groaned and leaned his head against the wall exasperatedly, as he listened to Arthur chastising Tony down the hallway, and Mia giggling from the bed.
AUTHORS NOTES
Finally done! Not gonna lie, this one was challenging to do. I wanted to make sure I stuck true to realism, but I also had to stick to the characterisation of Pio and Mia, and their relationship. The challenge was, that I didn't want either of them to say or do anything that was immoral, or could be taken as problematic. That may just be my anxiety and just having to leave this for so long and do bits in between. I feel like that may have impacted the writing a bit compared to my previous works.
Please don't misinterpret Pio's words in this. He cares very deeply for his wife and doesn't want to make mistakes or somehow step out of line. He wants to make sure she is safe and happy. Any actions from his own desires and emotions, I feel like he would feel guilty about, like he needs to be a firm wall that doesn't give in. He wants to put his wife before anything, and though he trusts her, he has to be reminded that they are a united couple and they are human with emotions and desires.
I really enjoy writing these romantic fics with these two, and I am more than open to constructive criticism. This is all really practise for myself and I really want to get better at it!

Mario Bros: Just a Night Out (feat Tony)
I can't link directly to it (I think) but if you are interested in my new NC-17 fic featuring the Mario family with plenty of drama and explicit content, stop by my Ao3 account! Chapter one is up.
An 'M' rated version will be up soon. Chapter one falls into the 'M' rating if you want to take a look to get a feel for the story.
In an alternate timeline to my main works, Tony has never had someone of his own, and coming out to the family was such a disaster he's afraid to even think of a relationship.
But on the night of his and Arthur's 44th birthday, an evening at his usual bar proves to bring not only nights of sexual pleasure, but something more.
Something that Tony longs for more than he realized. And when all hell breaks loose, he finds he has to make a choice. Stay away for the sake of his family, or be happy?

DEN OF GEEK CRITICS’ PICKS
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
They’re the world’s most fearsome fightin’ team. They’re heroes in a half-shell and they’re green. I mean, what more do we need to say? 2014’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is no Citizen Kane, but comic book movie fans flock to it like the four titular turtles to pizza. The film knows exactly what it is, providing cheesy one-liners, silly action, and unpretentious fun. Throwing in Will Arnett as a sidekick for April O’Neil was an inspired choice that paid dividends in laughs and whoever tapped Tony Shaloub to voice Splinter should get a pay raise. Produced by Nickelodeon Pictures, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wasn’t only the highest grossing film in the series, but also the highest grossing Nickelodeon film of all-time. This reboot of the classic ninja team helped spawn further films, new TV series, and a renewed interest in one of the most beloved comic book properties ever. Cowabunga, dude!
Noah
This isn’t your Sunday School’s Noah. Darren Aronofsky’s adaptation of the story of the biblical figure Noah is an awe-inspiring epic that takes the bones of the famous story and infuses themes about environmentalism, self-doubt, and yes, faith. Pulling liberally from texts like the Book of Enoch, the film has far more action than just leading animals onto a boat and a storm. Shot by Matthew Libatique, the movie looks absolutely gorgeous and at times can be genuinely breath-taking, but it’s not just about the visuals. Russell Crowe stuns in the title role, but the entire ensemble is great, including a post-Potter Emma Watson and a ferocious Ray Winstone. No one expected Noah to be more akin to a thought-provoking art house film than a straight-forward epic, but that’s the sort of genius you get from Aronofsky, one of the most exciting and inventive filmmakers working today.
Shine a Light
Even if we hadn’t just lost the immortal, suave Charlie Watts, the heartbeat of rock and roll’s longest institution, The Rolling Stones, we’d still be recommending Martin Scorsese’s Shine a Light. Capturing the legendary band during their A Bigger Bang Tour in 2006, Scorsese spends a lot of the time rightfully focusing on Watts. With the camera fixated on Watts, you witness his unflappability; the way that he can make such raucous playing look so effortless. You also catch the man’s unique, jazz-influenced technique, like how he rarely hits the center of his snare, or how he changes his grip whenever he hits a cymbal. Even in their old age, the Stones are still one of the tightest, most electrifying live acts, and Shine a Light puts you right on stage with them as they barrel through one of the deepest catalogs in recorded music. It’s simply a masterful concert film.
The Virgin Suicides
Sofia Coppola likely has to deal with accusations about nepotism to this day, but anyone who saw her directorial debut The Virgin Suicides knows that Francis’ daughter would have made it as a filmmaker even without her famous last name. This haunting adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides’ novel of the same name taps into the melancholy of childhood, the dreamlike haze of memory, and the mystery that lurks inside suburban homes. Coppola expertly captures the pull that an ethereal group of sisters have on the imaginative group of boys that pine for them in a way that is relatable for anyone that had an unrequited crush in high school. As a coming-of-age movie, it is one of a kind. As an exploration of trauma and grief, it is crushingly effective. The original score by the band Air only adds to its hypnagogic vibe.
Rock ‘n’ Roll High School
Punk rock music and Roger Corman pictures are some of the core tenants that Den of Geek was founded on, so of course we’re going to recommend 1979’s Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, which features possibly the coolest band of all-time, The Ramones. Let our resident punk rock movie expert Jim Knipfel break it down for you:
“After producing so many dozens of teen rebellion films over the years, Corman finally hit the pinnacle, the ultimate teen rebellion picture, with the cartoon antics ratcheted up more than a few notches. There are so many bad jokes flying around, so many visual gags and film references packed into every scene, so many overwrought teen film clichés pushed way past absurd, it’s a film that demands multiple viewings. Even if “Riff Randall, rock ’n’ roller” (P.J. Soles) doesn’t look much like any punk chick I ever knew, I’m perfectly willing to accept it. And in historical terms, it really was this film more than the 4 albums they had out at the time that spread the word about The Ramones to mainstream America, and that’s worth something. Old as I am I still get a thrill every time the students and the Ramones blow up Vince Lombardi High, and anyone who doesn’t must be wrong in the head somehow.”

1, 4, 8, 9, 13, 16, 19, 21 & 25?
1. x-men evolution or young justice (cartoon)?
I will be honest, I think I’ve only seen one episode of X-Men Evolution, and that was just to see Rogue and Gambit. So...YJ, because it’s amazing.
4. steve rogers/peggy carter or steve trevor/diana prince?
Steve and Peggy. This may or may not change after Wonder Woman comes out.
8. tony stark or bruce wayne?
*strangled noises* Are you really asking me to pick between the formerly drunken gadgeteer and Padre? I do love Tony for his brains, but Batdad has about a billion kids at this point and it’s just the most precious thing in the world. Plus, I mean, the Bats doesn’t do ‘ships’, if you get my drift...although he is in hate with The Joker. So...PADRE! basically,goseethelegobatmanmovieit’sadorable
9. kamala khan or cassandra cain?
Listen, I will fight you over my baby. Kamala Khan is the most precious thing in the world and she doesn’t deserve the pain the comics are dishing to her at the moment. #ProtectSlothBaby2kInfinity
13. erik lehnsherr or harvey dent?
Erik? Erik.
16. namor or arthur curry?
Authur. I don’t know either of them very well, but Authur just seems more palatable. That, and when does Namor ever show up? I think the last time I saw him, he was with T’challa...though it could have been literally anyone else.
19. clint barton or oliver queen?
My walking disaster, Hawkguy. He’s such a good bro, bro. He does lie about boats, but that’s not the point. He’s just such a good. All he wants is to eat a sandwich, but naaaah, things are falling from the sky, he has to go avenge some stuff. Comics Ollie is a good too, but no one can match the Hawkguy. Plus he has a cool dog, and an even cooler not-a-sidekick.
21. wade wilson or slade wilson?
Wade. Slade’s a jerk.
25. miles morales or terry mcginnis?
I literally have no idea who that second person is, so I’m going with Miles. He’s a good. Writes fanfic about Kamala. It’s the cutest. (this literally made me go dig out ANAD Avengers Annual, because it’s the bestest) Miles is an adorable sweetheart.

36 for mama mario and papa Mario?
OTP Relationship Asks
36. How’d they meet each other’s families?
Well Mia had more luck than Pio ._.
The first time Pio technically met Mia's family was her own father, but they didn't talk, and it was when he dropped her back home after a date. As he waited to make sure she got in the door, he saw a much older man, stern and tight faced, greet her in. They met eyes for a moment, and Pio felt the man stare at him. Not a look that was of curiosity, but one that clearly said "I will burn you where you stand!"
Mia's parents just want the best for their daughter. But the moment Pio met that man's eyes, he knew that impressing them wasn't going to be easy!
I've talked about it in a previous ask (which will be a key plot point), but Pio's meeting with Mia's parents did not go well. Mia's father isn't one for subtly, and after some point blank insults towards Pio and his own family, Pio couldn't take anymore and berated Mia's father for his attitude! Naturally, this resulted in him having to leave their house without being able to say goodbye to Mia. Pio was so heartbroken about it, that it took Arthur and Tony to drag him out from his room, so he could go talk to Mia, and they could work all this out together.
They do come around eventually :/
Mia had met the Mario's long before her and Pio started dating. Actually, it was Arthur and Tony she met first, who were hanging out with Pio when the couple caught each other's eye for the first time. Naturally, the disaster bros decided to tease Pio about him making eyes at Mia, to Pio's shame! - but Mia was so taken with how these brothers were so chaotic and funny, nothing like her family, and instantly loved it <3
After some more meet ups, she met Pa, who was so welcoming and told her that she was a perfect flower amongst this concrete jungle of a city. He watched the couple all through dinner, and instantly knew she was the one for his son, when he saw how much Pio smiled ^^

Martin Ransohoff, 'Cincinnati Kid' Producer and Founder of Filmways TV, Dies at 90
New Post has been published on https://takenews.net/martin-ransohoff-cincinnati-kid-producer-and-founder-of-filmways-tv-dies-at-90/
Martin Ransohoff, 'Cincinnati Kid' Producer and Founder of Filmways TV, Dies at 90
Martin Ransohoff, the co-founder of Filmways Tv who went on to provide such acclaimed options as The Cincinnati Child — on which he fired director Sam Peckinpah — Save the Tiger and Jagged Edge, has died. He was 90.
Ransohoff, whose credit additionally embrace Arthur Hiller’s The Americanization of Emily (1964) and Silver Streak (1976) and John Sturges’ Ice Station Zebra (1968), died Wednesday morning at his residence in Bel-Air, his stepson, Steve Botthof, advised The Hollywood Reporter.
The son of a outstanding espresso dealer, Ransohoff based Filmways in 1952 with Ed Kasper to make industrial movies and TV commercials. Nonetheless in his early 30s, he grew to become one of many youngest males to take an leisure firm public when Filmways boarded the American Inventory Change in 1958.
Filmways grew to become referred to as the house of such 1960s TV reveals as Mister Ed, The Beverly Hillbillies, Inexperienced Acres, Petticoat Junction and The Addams Household and, by means of the 1966 acquisition of Heatter-Quigley Productions, the sport present The Hollywood Squares.
With the assistance of fellow Filmways govt (and future MGM, Warner Bros. and Sony studio head John Calley), Ransohoff burst into the film enterprise with a good quantity of bluster.
“Any longer, this can be a enterprise for the independents who can provide essentially the most high quality product with essentially the most economic system. The main studios have had it. Now the majors are minors,” he advised Budd Schulberg in a 1963 story for Life journal.
Filmways’ first movie was Boys’ Evening Out (1962), a romantic comedy starring Kim Novak and James Garner, adopted by The Wheeler Sellers (1963), which was directed by Hiller and starred Garner once more, this time alongside Lee Remick. (Garner would quickly exchange William Holden atop The Americanization of Emily, written by Paddy Chayefsky.)
Only a few days into filming The Cincinnati Child, the 1965 New Orleans-set drama a few high-stakes poker recreation that starred Steve McQueen, Edward G. Robinson, Ann-Margret and Karl Malden, Ransohoff obtained a take a look at Peckinpah’s dailies (the director needed to make the film in black and white, for one factor) and determined to oust him.
“It was dour, it was grey and bleak,” Ransohoff mentioned of Peckinpah’s work in David Weddle’s 1994 ebook If They Transfer … Kill ’Em!: The Life and Instances of Sam Peckinpah. “Right here I used to be making an attempt to make an upscale film. This film was purported to be a popsicle.
“MGM had a really clear imaginative and prescient, we knew what we needed to make, they usually have been paying me and counting on me to make it, and I didn’t suppose Sam was making it. Shutting down meant shedding $500,000. We had an all-star forged and no director. Consider me, it was not executed calmly. I used to be actually disillusioned as a result of I had actually gone out on a hook for Sam. It was very embarrassing for me.”
Norman Jewison got here on to direct, and the movie was a crucial hit.
Save the Tiger (1973), written by Steve Shagan (who then turned his screenplay right into a novel), starred Jack Lemmon as a disillusioned Beverly Hills garment govt who suffers a midlife disaster. The efficiency netted him his second Academy Award, and Shagan and supporting actor Jack Gilford additionally acquired Oscar nominations.
The pushed Ransohoff had one other hit years later with the Joe Eszterhas-penned courtroom thriller Jagged Edge (1985), toplined by Glenn Shut, Jeff Bridges and Robert Loggia, who earned an Oscar nom for portraying a foul-mouthed gumshoe.
In his 2004 novel Hollywood Animal, Eszterhas wrote how Shut barred Ransohoff from the filming of her nude scene in Jagged Edge and that the producer took revenge by relentlessly speaking about her “fats ass.”
Ransohoff additionally was recognized for shepherding the profession of actress Sharon Tate. After she had auditioned for the function of Billie Jo Bradley (which wound up going to Meredith MacRae) on Petticoat Junction, he positioned her on The Beverly Hillbillies as financial institution secretary Janet Trego.
When Ransohoff produced The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967), he launched Tate to director Roman Polanski, who forged her within the movie. She and Polanski married in January 1968; lower than two years later, at age 26, she was murdered in her Los Angeles residence by members of the Manson Household.
Ransohoff was born in New Orleans and graduated from Colgate College in 1949. He went into promoting with Younger & Rubicam on Madison Avenue earlier than leaping into the tv enterprise. Within the late 1950s, Filmways acquired Richard Donner’s New York-based TV manufacturing firm and introduced the longer term Deadly Weapon director to Los Angeles.
Ransohoff cashed out at Filmways in 1972.
His producer résumé additionally consists of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s The Sandpiper (1965), for which Ransohoff supplied the story; Tony Richardson’s model of Hamlet (1969); Eye of the Satan (1966), starring David Niven (and Tate); Fort Maintain (1969), directed by Sydney Pollack; Catch-22 (1970), tailored by Buck Henry; The White Daybreak (1974); Hiller’s Nightwing (1979); Class (1983), starring Rob Lowe and Jacqueline Bissett; Switching Channels (1988); Responsible as Sin (1993); and Turbulence (1997).
Ransohoff additionally was seen onscreen in an uncredited function in Filmways’ The Cherished One (1965), the variation of Evelyn Waugh’s scathing novel about Hollywood.
