i kinda wish ps i hate you actually showed a little more of their sex scenes, not bc i wanna see all that but bc im just confused 😭 everyone is acting like prae is some kinda degenerate for whatever she did in that sex tape but i actually have no idea what she did? other than having sex w multiple ppl but idk, thats not the craziest shit ive ever seen. unless just her having sex w a bunch of ppl is meant to be crazy scandalous thing

avery head canons
@ariscats requested these, and avery's my fav girl so of course i'm gonna make them. hope you like them<3! (i apologize for any spelling mistakes). @catapparently helped me with some of these.
avery loves phoebe bridgers
she's also secretly a swiftie (she was a hugeeee love story stan when she was younger bc she dreamt of a love like that)
she relates to nothing new (ft. phoebe bridgers). she's always blasting that song in her room, crying. (jamie finds out she feels like that song and tries to comfort her by telling her she isn't just something that everyone will get tired of eventually).
she lovesss thrifting her own clothes.
avery pretends to hate her new wardrobe but she secretly likes it.
she used to only drink black coffee but then she found out she actually really likes flavored coffee (vanilla, caramel etc). she loves making her own little coffees at home (xander loves it too)
she went to the eras tour with a reputation/midnights crossover outfit
she loves candles, she has a ton of them in her room
the sheffield grayson kidnapping affects her more than she lets on (sometimes she imagines sheffield walking behind her while she's taking walks and stuff or she'll see his face everywhere)
she has an addiction to those shitty app store games
she used to be a huge star wars fan. she would force libby to watch the movies with her.
sometimes, during family dinners, she'll look at all the people around her (libby, max, the hawthornes, rebecca, etc) and think about how lucky she is to be loved by so many people. she sometimes tears up cause she used to wish to be that loved when she was younger. jamie always notices but knows that she doesn't like it when people point it out.
she loves fanfiction (xander and max introduced it to her)
she loves taking pictures of nature (her and grayson have a shared aesthetic insta account where they post all of their pictures) (i personally really love this one)
avery used to have a percy jackson fan account on insta when she was really young (her mom was her biggest fan) (the hawthornes found the account and find it adorable)
she's a huge percabeth shipper
her favorite book genre is murder mystery (holly jackson stan)
she used to love editing (there was this one percabeth edit of hers to my blood by ellie goulding that went viral)
her mom and her used to love watching rom coms
she used to wonder why no one wanted to be her friend when she was younger (cause she only has max)
ok this one's a bit dark and sad, but we all know she grew up poor in a shitty old town, and that's where you find all the weird creeps. based on the books, she seems to not really be comfortable with physical touch from strangers, so i hc that the reason why is bc walking home from school, she'd sometimes be harassed by these creeps.
she has scars from the bombing and the attempted shooting. she's insecure about them, but jamie always tells her they look beautiful (he also tells her they're proof of how strong she is)
she loves the beach (jamie brings her on dates there all the time)
she tends to get hate comments about her looks (this isn't really a head canon since it was kinda implied in tbh when those people were whispering about her looks (i may be imagining this). sometimes she gets insecure, but jamie always makes sure she knows how beautiful she is by kissing her and whispering sweet nothings in her ear etc. (this one was more of an aj one but oh well, i can never escape them)
avery has really good taste in clothing. her fans are always commenting about how hot she is.
she was times person of the year once
(this one is based off of a pic i saw on pinterest) avery once did a shoot for vogue where she wore a suit vest and nothing underneath and everyone went crazyyy (jamie too). (i'll insert a pic at the bottom)
she's convinced people hate her
she sometimes has nightmares about jamie breaking up with her (jamie proves her wrong in bed if you know what i mean)
she loves interacting with fans (she comments on posts, take pics with them in public, etc)
when libby and her used to live together in lib's apartment and they were struggling to buy food bc of money issues, avery would always leave the food to libby and tell her she ate at the diner (she actually didn't bc she once tried to steal some food but got caught. she didn't want to lose her job so she stopped).
avery secretly loves heels (they make her more confident)
her and rebecca vent to each other sometimes (avery feels really comfortable with her).
she lovesss sushi
absolutely love my girl avery (fav character of all time). i sort of see myself in her so i might be projecting in some of these. she's so underrated and it pisses me off (she easily solos all of the brothers).

fun tag game? fun tag game. ty @janelevy for the tag <3
what book are you currently reading? 
i just finished i'm glad my mom died by jennette mccurdy, so now i'll probably move onto loveless by alice oseman or iron widow by xiran jay zhao
what’s your favorite movie you saw in theaters this year? 
i,,, genuinely cannot remember going to a single movie in theaters this year. i'm pretty certain i never went into theaters this year. although, now that i'm thinking my local theater did host a viewing of goncharov-
what do you usually wear? 
um,,, mainly,,, like dresses or shirts tucked into skirts. i don't own many "masculine" clothes and i'm just generally more comfy in "feminine" clothes
how tall are you? 
uh,,, 5'2 or 5'3 i think. i'm pretty short. i'm the shortest of my friend group
what’s your star sign? 
gemini !
do you go by your name or a nickname?
i'll go by anything if you clear it with me first. hannah? sure. 04? sure. jamie? sure. stan? sure. munchkin? ... sure, fine [redacted]
did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child? 
uh,,, so i'm in (community) college now w an undecided major (which funnily enough, i did not want to go to college when i was little), but i'm pretty sure i'm going into education. little me wasn't exactly sure what i wanted to grow up to be, i flip-flopped around a bit, but i clung onto actor for a while so,,, no, not really
are you in a relationship? if not, who is your crush if you have one? 
i am very single. i do have a crush on someone (two someones, actually), but i'm scared they'll find my tumblr so they'll remain unnamed. i do also have many crushes on celebrities who have no idea i exist
dogs or cats?
don't make me choose... okay fine, cats
if you draw/write, or create in any way, what’s your favorite picture/favorite line/favorite etc. from something you created this year?
oooh i am a fanfic writer (ik, i'm really cool /s), and my favorite fic has got to be this zep fic i wrote (pas de deux) kiss me backstage, in part bc it's just really personal. i'd say my favorite line in it is "She stepped away, wanting to see how he’d react before going. He seemed a little shocked, but slowly, a smile played at the edge of his lips. She smiled and then ran for her life towards the wings, because Jesus, she was late." what can i say, i'm a romantic who spent their final show of dance running to and from the wings
what’s something you would like to create content for?
ooooh um... maybe the west wing or wednesday or the punisher. definitely would like to write something for jessica jones. maybe if i'm feeling daring, derry girls?
what’s something you’re currently obsessed with? 
the west wing. did a rewatch a month or so back bc of hln and i remembered how much i love it. derry girls, abbott elementary, and she-hulk attorney at law have all been taking up considerable space in my head, especially derry girls. also, weirdly, the punisher, which i've only seen one episode and clips of
what’s something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year? 
... first kill. i tried really hard to like it, but idk there was a lot about it that rubbed me the wrong way and i just couldn't get into it the way i wanted to
what’s a hidden talent of yours?
um,,, it's not very hidden, but i have a pretty good singing voice. idk most ppl on here don't know and it isn't something i talk a lot abt with ppl i don't know... or maybe my hidden talent is the ability to ramble on for any given topic i'm somewhat passionate/invested in for hours on end, which i have done before
are you religious?
i'm not,,, religious, but i am somewhat observant of judaism, and i'd like to be more observant
what’s something you wish to have at this moment? 
um... i guess a friend to hug. idk, i'm kinda sad, i had to leave my family early for the holidays bc my dad caught covid and i just really wanna hug somebody... also, bc we live in a capitalist society, money
tagging @wannabe-etymologist, @pesby, @delphiniumblooms ! obviously, no pressure, if you guys don't wanna participate <3
also open to anyone who sees this and thinks it would be fun to have a go at it <3

starting off strong with redlyn. my beauties. my loves. my sunshines. i LOVED that the whole cast knew about red’s plan. just carlos, ricky and ej being like ah yes locker letters😉😉 and everyone being all smiley and knowing SO CUTE!! i hated seeing ash sad but GOD RED SPENDING THE WHOLE NIGHT MAKING THIS THING TO SHOW ASHLYN HOW MUCH HE APPRECIATES HER?? GOD TIER. also the crew just wATCHING FROM THE DOOR WHILE REDLYN IS IN THEIR OWN WORLD?? MY HEART they’re just such a genuine couple. i love their sweet awkward moments. i also love that lights is their reoccurring thing. it just makes me so happy. y’all just KNOW red calls ashlyn his sunshine and i don’t take criticisms on that. i also really wanted an i love you confession there but they’re so cute that i will allow it to wait
HOWIE AND KOURTNEY!!! at first (bc ep. 11) i was like HOWIE NO YOU CANT HAVE DONE ALL OF THIS STUFF TO HELP EAST AND THEN STAB THEM AND KOURTNEY IN THE BACK but the fact that he was literally just in awe of kourtney and so nervous to be around her because he thinks she’s so talented mADE MY HEART RACE truly incredible. also loved kourt standing up for herself. we LOVE and STAN a straight forward QUEEN also their dorky arm in arm walk was so adorable. also drum rolls being their thing. also honorable mention to kourt’s (dara’s) mom WE STAN
ej helping mr. mazzarra get that job?? I LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP SO MUCH.
PORTWELL ANGST SCENE I CRY. ALSO DID I CALL THAT SCENE OR DID I CALL THAT SCENE?? if you read the fic i posted like 7 hours ago you’ll know what i’m talking about. anyways back to the show. gina joking around and then realizing that ej means not rescheduling ever and her just pretending like she’s fine with it?? OUCH OUCH OUCH i would’ve rather her immediately been heart broken. DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON EJ’S FACE AFTER SHE WALKS AWAY. matt absolutely killed that part. you can tell he waited just long enough for her to walk away when he lets his face fall and IT HURTS YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE HIM WANTING TO STAY CRYING BEFORE HE TURNS AWAY
rini moment. not the dressing room parallel. it was PAINFUL. the juxtaposition between the scene in the s1 finale and this scene?? OUCH. ricky saying if we’re literally on the same page (something they struggled with throughout the entire season) and nini saying just for a moment. i just wanna talk to the writers I JUST WANNA TALK BECAUSE THAT WAS RUDE.
seblos being cuties and ms. jenn on some fuck shit. she was having a MOMENT. like chill it’s high school theater it’s alright sis.
GINA LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AND SOBBING I HATED IT. I HATED IT.
gini moment?? i loved it. also nini’s right. portwell is so powerful for so many reasons. period sis. and she’s right WE ARE LUCKY TO KNOW GINA. i loved their moment of solidarity and friendship. imma be honest for like 0.1 seconds i thought if portwell doesn’t work out gini might be the move bUT DONT WORRY IM A PORTWELL WARRIOR FOREVER also y’all called gina talking to nini about jamie and her music. YALL CALLED THAT SHIT
i liked ms. jenn and ricky’s moment. i loved josh’s acting in this scene because it’s just so well done. like doesn’t seem like he’s acting at all and it translates so well in this scene. it was very heartfelt and such a mature moment for ricky. so reflective. i love ricky
second chances GAVE ME CHILLS the whole staging, the vocals, the core four. CHILLS. the acting from all of them for this song WAS INCREDIBLE. it was so simple but really made the scene. i’m also a sucker for songs structured like this. with like the rounds and the switching lyrics over top of each other. LOVE.
ok literally all of them booing when lily and antoine showed up sENT ME because me too THE FUCK. antoine saying “big red. you were also in it” mADE ME SNORT. ricky literally shooing them out made me laugh and lily’s whirling turn and ricky like startling back a bit made me laugh. i hate lily but her confession was literally me. like i like his big brown eyes and his big brown hair too you ain’t special bitch. antoine’s thumbs up was SO FUNNY. andrew was hilarious in this role.
also i didn’t love that they were like well fuck the menkies after that was a major plot point of the season but like also i get it. just being like MEH the stress isn’t worth it. EJ’S SPEECH HES LITERALLY VOICE BREAK JUST THE FUCKING GROWTH THAT HES HAD I LOVE HIM
jennzzarra flirting in front of the kids?? kinda cute ngl. also am i muted? SENT ME. also love that howie is just chilling there while they’re talking about dropping out. KOURT SAID LETS BURN THOSE RESULTS
benjamin being BOLD BOLD good for him
big star nini?? good for her!
ashlyn being like YIKES i’m sorry i didn’t realize you thought of ej that way and her being like hahah ok... wait WHAT? but i KNEW ash was going to progress that along somehow. like obvs ej and gina were sulking and ashlyn HAD to be the one to step in. she do be the #1 portwell warrior. thank you for your service ma’am
i will only allow ricky and lily to be a thing IF it’s a summer fling, if it means antoine gets to stay around and if it pushes rini back together and if none of that happens then wtf is even the point of pairing those two up. but we already know ricky is a sucker for misunderstood competitive women (minus nini)
GINA CHASING AFTER EJ!!! HIS FACE OF JUST OH GOD PLEASE LET ME BE HEARTBROKEN!! YOU GOT BAD INTEL!! THE CAN I... CAN YOU WHAT? CAN I KISS YOU with her little giddy laugh and her smile GIRL YOURE GLOWING and then ej’s swallow as he turns to fully look at her. WILL YOU BE MY FIRST KISS!!!! HIM JUST SLOWLY SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR AND DROPPING HIS BAG TO WALK TO HER AND THEN THEM RUNNING WHEN THEY GET CLOSER AND GINA’S LITTLE GIGGLING I CANNOT EVEN
i am so so SO HERE FOR SUMMER FLUFFY IN LOVE PORTWELL

Stark Spangled Forever
Tumblr media
One Shot: Bump In The Road
Summary: What should be a routine sexing scan for their latest baby throws up something a little more serious, and leaves Katie and Steve reeling. Warnings: Language! And some mega angst with a light sprinkling of fluff

Disclaimer: This is a pure work of fiction and classified as 18+. Please respect this and do not read if you are underage. I do not own any characters in this series bar Katie Stark and the other OCs. By reading beyond this point you understand and accept the terms of this disclaimer.
Stark Spangled Forever Masterlist // Main Masterlist
Tumblr media
 October 2029
It was meant to be a routine scan…they’d been to 3 of these already after all…a routine, 20 week scan to find out the sex of their latest addition. But as Steve sat there, the words of Katie’s ob-gyn made him feel nothing but numbness.
“I’m…I don’t understand?” Katie said, her voice quiet “You said at the last scan that it would most likely right itself.”
“And 9 times out of 10 Mrs Rogers it does.” Dr Kellet said, sadly “Normally a low lying placenta moves but it’s developed into something called placenta accreta, which is where it has grown too deep into the uterine wall. This means that it won’t detach during labour and can cause critical levels of blood loss.”
Steve swallowed and turned his attention from the small, blank screen which had moments before shown the image of their baby to the Doctor as Katie gripped his hand even tighter “So what does this mean?” he demanded.
Dr Kellet sighed “I won’t lie to either of you. It is considered a high risk complication. However, we are lucky in that we have caught it now. In a lot of cases as it often causes no signs or symptoms, we don’t realise until the mother is in labour which can have disastrous consequences for her and baby. As we have picked it up now, you’ll need careful monitoring for the rest of your pregnancy and we’ll have to perform an early C-section delivery…” she paused “Followed by a hysterectomy.”
“A hysterectomy?“ Steve said gently "as in…”
“Surgical removal of the womb yes.” Dr Kellet says “We do his at the time of the C-section, so you’ll be awake with your baby Mrs Rogers…it just means you’ll be in hospital for a few days, possibly a week or so to recover.”
Katie swallowed, taking a deep breath “You said early…”
The Doctor nodded. “Yes, anything form 34 weeks but again, that will be subject to how you go. Obviously the longer we leave it the better but…to be honest, all your babies have been fully baked, to use the popular term now-a-days, thanks to Dad’s enhanced DNA so I wouldn’t worry too much about that. Worst case scenario they may need a few days in the Neonatal Unit but…”
Katie wiped at her eyes with her spare hand and Steve felt his heart contracting painfully at the sight of her as he bent over to kiss her head.
“I know this is a lot to take in…” Dr Kellet said, her tone sympathetic “But we’ve found it in time to deal with it. I assure you, it won’t make any difference to your baby’s development…it’s you it poses the biggest danger for. But, as we’re prepared, like I said, we can deal with it.”
Katie nodded and sniffed a little “Is there anything that causes it or…”
“No, not really.” Dr Kellet shook her head. “Women over 35 are more susceptible to suffering from an accreta but your placenta laying low is what’s done this. Like I say, it’s rare but not completely uncommon.”
“This is not your fault.” Steve looked at her, speaking sternly as he knew exactly what she was thinking. Her green eyes locked onto his and she gave him a small smile as he kissed the back of her hand.
“No,it isn’t.” Dr Kellet said, equally as sternly “This is just one of those things Mrs Rogers.”
The three of them fell silent and after a few seconds, Dr Kellet took a deep breath and looked at Katie.
“Ok, so…how about we get some good news huh?” she asked, picking up the wand and pressing it back to Katie’s stomach. “Let’s find out if it’s pink or blue.”
Once more the tiny profile of their baby filled the screen and Steve felt Katie’s fingers tighten around his again. He squeezed her hand back and Dr Kellet made a little noise in her throat. “Ahh, there we go…and it’s another little girl mom and dad…”
Katie’s face broke into a smile as did Steve’s and he pressed another kiss to her hand which he know held in both his, his elbows resting on the edge of the bed. As they both watched, their daughter moved her tiny little fist in front of her face, and Steve swallowed, blinking back tears.
After a little more discussion with the Doctor who told Katie to try and stay calm and to call her if she had any worries, they booked in with the receptionist on the Gyne Ward for another scan in a fortnights time and then after bidding Dr Kellet a final goodbye they made their way back to the ground floor, both lost in their thoughts. Steve kept shooting a side glance at Katie whose face was straight, but he could see the sadness in her eyes. He was fighting back the tears himself, he hated this. The thought that something could go wrong, something that meant he might lose her or their baby…but she would be in good hands. He trusted Dr Kellet implicitly afer the safe birth of the other 3 and, after all, like the woman said, early diagnosis made a huge difference. The elevator doors opened and they walked down the busy corridor towards the main doors of the building, and as they reached the main reception desk a young man and a heavily pregnant woman passed them going in the opposite direction. Katie’s eyes followed them and she stopped, the hand that wasn’t in Steve’s falling to her bump as she took a deep breath, and turned to look up at him Steve.
“Well…"she smiled softly as she spoke for the first time since leaving the Maternity Suite, “At least when all this is done there’s no chance you’ll impregnate me again.”
Steve spluttered a small chuckle, shaking his head “Seriously? You’re making that joke now?”
“I have to.” she said softly “Because if I don’t I’m gonna cry.”
Steve sighed and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her to him. She buried her face into his chest and he softly rubbed at her back, pressing a kiss to her head “It’s gonna be fine Sweetheart.” he said, sounding braver than he felt “You heard Doc. They found it early, we can prepare.”
Katie nodded against his shirt, keeping her eyes scrunched shut “Yeah…”
“And you get a few more days recovery…relaxing, away from the rabble at home.”
Katie gave a watery laugh as she stepped back and looked up at him, “I’d rather be with them…”
“I know baby.” he said, wiping her tears with his thumbs as he cupped her face “I know.”
Katie took a deep, shaky breath and licked her lips before she smiled softly “Another girl though Stevie” and he gave a playful groan.
"Makes it 4 on 3, I’m outnumbered.”
“Nah, it’s 4 on 4 if you count Stark.”
“That’s true.” he grinned “Not sure how Jamie’s gonna take it though!”
“It’s Rori you’re gonna have to worry about.” Katie looked at him, smirking a little as she made to continue walking, and Steve was pleased to see her Stark sassiness was creeping back through.
“How so?”
"Because she’s suddenly going to have to cope with not being you only little princess anymore…there’s gonna be another girl fighting to wrap you around her pinkie.”
“Well…” Steve said, curling an arm round his wife’s shoulders as they walked out into the sunshine. “Let’s go break the news….”
“Kinda wish you still had the shield…” Katie mumbled, and at that he let out a loud laugh, pulling her closer and pressing a kiss to her temple.
***** It was after dinner that they told the kids about the sex of the baby. They all gathered in the sitting room, the youngest two in their pyjamas as Katie told them all that they should be ready to buy a lot more pink things.
“A girl?” Jamie looked at them both, raising an eyebrow.
“Yeah.” Steve smiled at his eldest son who was sat in the chair on the opposite side of the room. Rori was perched on his knee whilst Harry was sat on Katie’s, his little hand on her bump.
“Wow…” Harry mumbled, looking a Katie “Sister?”
“Yup.” she smiled, kissing his head as he smiled at her. She looked at Jamie who shrugged at her.
“Whatever.” he said, grinning “I don’t mind…as long as it doesn’t turn out like her.” he pointed to Rori.
“Shut up Jamie!” she glared at him as Steve sighed.
“Ok, come on guys…” he said his tone carried enough warning to shut them up “Don’t fight.”
“I think it’s awesome.” Emmy smiled, where she was slumped on the rug, tickling Stark. “Another Rogers girl eh Rori?”
Rori looked at Emmy, then to Steve, then to Katie’s bump before she shook her head “No. I don’t want it.” she said nonchalantly, jumping off Steve’s knee and heading to the door.
“Rori.” Katie said, and she stopped to turn to her. “Come here.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Aurora.” Steve frowned at her, his voice stern and she sighed, taking small steps back into the room. “Come on princess, this is a happy time.” She looked at him, her face sullen “Why do you have to have a girl?”
“We don’t pick honey.” Katie looked at her, Harry shifting in her lap a little, his hand tangling in her hair. “And it’s not something we can change.” “But I don’t want a girl!” she stamped her foot and Katie sighed, rubbing her forehead a little and Steve felt the nerve in his jaw twitching. After everything they’d been told and had to process today he was mentally drained and really NOT in the mood for one of her little temper tantrums.
“That’s enough!” he said loudly and she looked at him, her green eyes widening slightly before she recovered herself and fixed him with a filthy look. He saw Emmy and Jamie exchange a glance and Jamie stood up, backing to the door.
“I’m gonna go play on the computer in the den…” he said, before he hurried out of the room sensing an impending Diva meltdown. Which arrived seconds later.
“I hate it!” Rori glared at her father and then Katie “I hate the baby already and I don’t want it in this house.” “Aurora Sarah Natasha Rogers! That is a horrible thing to say.” Steve pointed at her, feeling his neck warming with anger. “You apologise right now”
“No.”
“Fine.” Steve said, standing up. He pointed to the door. “Go to your room.”
“No.” she repeated
“Rori…” Katie said, her voice cracking slightly as she blinked back her tears “Do what your father says.”
“Make me.” she folded her arms and looked at Katie, her chin raised defiantly and Steve let out a noise of frustration that vibrated in his throat like a growl. “Don’t tempt me.” he glowered at her and she turned her attention to him.  “You have until the count of 3 to get out of my sight and up those stairs before I drag you up them myself.”
Rori looked at him, blinking and he started his countdown.
“One…”
Nothing.
“Two…” his voice grew louder.
At that point, it was like something twigged in her brain and she suddenly understood exactly how pissed he was. Her eye filled with tears and she wheeled round, running from the rooms her sobs carrying to their ears as her feet stomped up the stairs. They heard the dull slam of her bedroom door and Steve’s hands fell to his hips and he took a deep sigh, looking at his feet.
Katie sniffed slightly and Harry looked at her, frowning.
“No cry momma…” he said softly, his hands wrapping around her neck. She pressed her face into his hair and kissed his head.
“I’m ok baby.” she said gently. Steve shook his head and looked at his wife, running his hand over his face.
“What’ going on?” Emmy asked, looking at her mom then to her dad.
“Nothing, just sick of her attitude…” Steve snapped back and Emmy looked at him.
“Don’t take it out on me.”
“Sorry I’m…I didn’t mean to.” he shook his head.
“What are you not telling me?” Emmy pressed “Don’t treat me like a kid!”
Katie looked at Steve then to Emmy before she sighed “The scan showed something up. I have a condition called placenta accreta. The baby is fine it just means that I will need a caesarean section…” she swallowed “And then a hysterectomy afterwards. But it’s gonna be ok, they picked it up and we have time to prepare.”
Emmy took a deep breath “So you’ll both be ok?” she asked “You and the baby?”
“Yeah.” Katie told her. “It was just a shock, for both of us to hear that’s all.”
“I can imagine.” Emmy said quietly “I’ll ring Pete, cancel tonight, I can stay…” “No,no…” Steve protested at the same time Katie shook her head.
“Em,you don’t need to do that.” Katie sighed “We don’t want you to…honestly there’s no need.” “Are you sure?” “There’s nothing you can do.” Steve said “There’s nothing any of us can do and there’s not point you worrying about it so…go out, enjoy yourself ok?”
She nodded and stood up, crossing to give her mom a hug before doing the same to Steve and heading out of the room. Steve looked at his wife for a moment before Harry glanced at him.
“Dadda mad?” he asked softly.
“Not with you pal.” he replied, crossing the room to sit besides them. Harry shifted and untangled himself from Katie before he crawled over into Steve’s lap.
“I get sister?” he asked looking at Steve and Steve smiled at him.
“Yeah buddy.”
Harry grinned and nodded before he tugged on Steve’s beard and Steve playfully snapped his teeth at the tot’s fingers in the way he always did.
“Snappy snappy crocodile!” Harry laughed and Steve let out a chuckle before he looked at Katie, his hand gently squeezing her knee.
“I’ll give her 10 minute and then I’ll go speak to her.” Steve said.
“Don’t think I’ve ever heard you shout at her like that.” Katie raised her eyebrow.
“She deserved it.” Steve said, blowing a breath out of his nose. “Her attitude stinks.” “She’s jealous.” Katie said simply “And we only have ourselves to blame.”
“What do you mean?” Steve frowned.
“I mean we ruin her.” Katie said simply “We indulge her little diva attitude, brush her tantrums off as amusing most of the time…she’s not a bad kid, I mean 9 time out of 10 she’s awesome and everyone comments on how well behaved she is, how all of them are for that matter, but…” she sighed “Things are about to change for her, and like I said she’s going to have to share you-“ “She shares me now…” “Yes but not with another little girl.”
“Yes she does, we have Emmy…” “Emmy isn’t little.” Katie shook her head. “She was a lot older when Rori was born and she’s been there for Rori’s entire life.” Katie reasoned “This is different. And it’s going to take some getting used to. I’m not excusing her behaviour before you say it…” she held her hand up to cut him off as he opened his mouth to speak. “She was really naughty then and you were absolutely right to do what you did…I guess, well we just need to be prepared to follow it through because I don’t think that’s the end of it.”
“So how do we deal with it?” Steve said after a moment’s deliberation.
“We keep her involved, try as much as we can to ensure she becomes interested in the baby.” Katie shrugged “And perhaps if you can get her to talk to you, admit what she’s feeling that might help.” “Easier said than done.” Steve looked at his wife “She’s as stubborn as you.
“Pot, Kettle Rogers.” Katie raised an eyebrow and Steve chuckled, leaning over to give Katie a soft kiss.
“Gross…” Harry mumbled, in a very Jamie like way.  Steve blew a raspberry on his cheek, making him giggle and scrunch his body up, pushing Steve away. They both spent a bit of time with the tot then, talking to him about Nursery, listening to what his limited vocabulary told them, before Katie headed into the den to check on Jamie and Steve jogged up the stairs to face the Star Spangled Diva.
“Rori…” he said, poking his head round the door.
“Go away.” She sniffed and he sighed, shaking his head.
“Sorry, can’t do that.” he said, stepping into the room. “It’s the law in this house that we don’t go to bed angry, remember?”
She looked up at him from where she sat on the floor, her Scrap Book (or the crap book as he and Jamie dubbed it) open on the floor at a page where she had been sticking in some pictures of animals from an old book he’d picked up in the University second hand shop for her to dissect. He noted she was labelling different parts of the animals with brightly coloured pens and smiled.
“You been doing animals at school?” he asked.
“No.” she shook her head “I just like them.” her voice fell quiet. Steve crossed the room and took a seat on her bed and she avoided his gaze again.
“Rori, look at me princess.”
She obeyed and her eyes locked onto his and he patted his knee “Come on.” She stood up and scrambled onto his lap and he wrapped his arms around her.
“Sorry for making you mad daddy.” she sniffed.
“And I’m sorry for shouting.” he replied, “But do you know why I did?”
“Because I said mean things.” “Yeah.” he nodded “You did. You wanna tell me why?”
She shrugged
“You know having a baby sister isn’t going to mean you miss out on anything.” he said softly “Me and Momma will still love you just as much. You know that right?”
“I guess so.” She shrugged again. Sensing he wasn’t going to get anything more out of her, he decided to leave it there and looked down at her, as she pulled back, her hand fiddling with the buttons on his shirt. “Do you think you need to apologise to someone else?”
“Momma.” she said quietly.
Steve nodded “Ok, go on then and come back up. It’s bed time for you.” “But…”
“Rori…you’ve been really naughty and apologising isn’t going to change that. So you can go say you’re sorry to momma and then it’s bed. We start again tomorrow, ok?”
“Ok Daddy.” she bowed her head and slid off his knee, heading out of the room and down the stairs. Steve gave her a second or so before he followed her down, almost bumping into Emmy who was dressed in a nice pair of jeans and a tight, low cut navy blue sweater under her black leather biker jacket. He looked at her and she shook her head
“Don’t bother.” she smirked “I’m 22 you can’t say it…” “I can and I am.” he arched an eyebrow “Cover yourself up.” “Bite me.” she grinned, and he nudged her with his elbow, chuckling as they headed down the stairs. Katie was in the kitchen crouched down, hugging a sobbing Rori.
“It’s ok.” she soothed “I forgive you baby.” Rori sniffed and pulled back, as Katie wiped her daughter’s tears with her fingers. “You know me and daddy love you don’t you?” She nodded and looked down at the floor, averting her gaze. “I know.” “Hey…” Emmy cut in, crossing the room and crouching down next to her mum. Katie stood up and looked at Steve who smiled at her. “You know what…when Mom and Dad told me they were having Jamie I got scared too.” “I’m not scared…” Rori said defiantly and Emmy shook her head.
“I’m not saying you are…I mean you’re way braver than me.” she smiled “But I thought having Jamie might mean there was no room for me anymore.” “There’s lots of room.” Rori looked at her confused. “We have a big home.”
“I know that now, but I didn’t at the time.” Emmy smoothed her little sister’s hair back. “I thought Mom and Dad wouldn’t love me as much because I wasn’t actually theirs but they did. And that was almost 10 years ago. I’m still here. And Jamie was so cool as a baby, we got to do loads of fun things, share stuff, play together.”
Rori looked at her sister and then looked down at her feet. “I’m not sharing my toys.” Emmy glanced up at her mom who shook her head, indicating that enough was enough. They’d had an apology and that was fine for tonight. Tempers needed to stay calm and they were in danger of spiralling again.
“Ok….come on.” Steve said, and Rori looked at him, her eyes pleading “Remember what I said.”
With a deep sigh she looked at her mom “Night momma.” she said, her eyes falling to the floor again.
“Night baby.” Katie said, bending down to give her head a kiss. She trudged to the door and looked up at her dad, batting her eyes at him and for a second Katie thought he might waver but he didn’t. Not a chance.
“Nice try.” he said, gesturing into the hall with his head. Rori gave an exasperated groan before she headed to the stairs.
“Sorry, I thought that might help.” Emmy looked round.
“Don’t be.” Katie looked at her “You know what she’s like. It’ll work out.” she rubbed at her eyes before she smiled “You look nice, where are you going?”
“Oh, just to play some pool and grab a burger.” Emmy said, “Brooke’s bringing Josh. I won’t be out long.” “Josh…” Katie mused “Double dating?”
“kinda.” Emmy shrugged “He’s a bit of a douche to be honest but, whatever, she seems to like him.” “Bucky doesn’t” Steve snorted.
“Uncle Bucky doesn’t like a lot of people.”  Emmy laughed and Steve chuckled.
“That’s true.” he admitted as she fished in her pocket for the keys to her BMW convertible, a 21st present from them both. He nodded to them and fixed her with a look “Drive safe.” She rolled her eyes and then grinning saluted him “Yes Captain.” He shook his head and snorted as she passed him in the doorway, standing on her toes to kiss his cheek.
“See you both later.” “Have a good time.” Katie called. Steve watched her go before he turned to his wife and stepped into the kitchen. She fell into his open arms and he kissed her head.
“Why don’t you go put Harry down, then have a bath and get in bed?” he suggested “I’ll spend a bit of time with Jamie before I send him up.”
“You sure?” she asked.
“Course.” he dropped a kiss to her head.
“Ok. That sounds great, I won’t lie.”
He smiled as she stepped back, grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and headed out. He followed her with his eyes before he took a deep breath and pushed his worries to the back of the mind and wandered into the den.
“Right son…” he grinned “Fire up the Mario Karts…I’m gonna kick your butt this time.”
“No chance old man!” Jamie grinned, jumping up to switch the game in the console.
*****
An hour and a half or so and 15 round of karts later, Steve was down 6 games to 9, which was an improvement over all. He sighed, tossing the controller down, holding his hands up. “Ok, I yield…”
Jamie grinned “Told ya…”
“Yeah, yeah…” Steve rolled his eyes. “And now I’m telling you, bed time…you can watch TV for half an hour ok?” Jamie let out a little groan but stood up, obeying all the same. He turned off the TV and Stark followed him out of the room. Steve turned off the lights before he closed the door as Jamie turned to him in the hallway. .
“Night dad.” Jamie said, giving him a hug.
“Night bud, don’t forget to say night to your mom too.”
“I won’t.” he nodded, before he bounded off up the stairs.
Steve headed around the house, doing his usual lock down checks before he too made his way up to their room. Katie was sat propped up in bed, looking at her phone.
“You ok?” he asked, walking into their room.
“Yeah…” Katie looked up at Steve, “I’m fine.”
“Good.” He dropped a kiss to her lips. “What you looking at?”
“I was googling my condition.” She shrugged. “Then I decided to change the topic and was looking at names…”
“Any you like?” He asked, seizing the opportunity to talk about something positive to do with their baby. He sat down on the side of the bed, tilting slight so he was facing her, placing one arm over her so his palm was flat on the covers by her hip.
“One…but it’s a little old fashioned…but…I really like it” she looked at him a little shyly “Florence”
Steve looked at her for a moment and then then looked to her bump before he peeked back up at her, smiling softly “that was my grandmother’s name, on my dad’s side.”
“I know.” She looked at him “I think it’s beautiful. So many things we can shorten it to as well…”
“She was known as Flo.” He said, “I never met her…I only know from what Ma told me”
“Well I like Flo or Flossie…” she said, looking down at his hands as her fingers began to play with his.
“Flossie…” Steve played with the name. It was a little unusual, but he liked the way it rolled off his tongue “yeah.” He chuckled “Flossie Rogers”
“A 40s movie star name if ever there was one.” Katie smiled.
“I think Rori has dibs on the Diva title.” He chuckled.
Katie gave a small laugh and looked at where their hands were tangled together again before she glanced up at him, her eyes full of tears. “I’m scared Stevie.” She whispered and he sighed, shifting slightly to cup her face with his spare hand.
“I know.” He said gently “but you’re the strongest person I know. If anyone can get through this, you can.”
“I don’t feel strong.” She whispered
At that Steve took a deep breath and moved, wrapping his arms around her as she lay her head on his shoulder, her face pressing into his neck, her body shaking with silent sobs. He had been waiting for this, the moment she cracked. His hand gently rest on the back of her head, fingers softly tangling in her hair.
“I dont wanna be numb…” she said gently “the thought of them sticking needles into my back…not after…” she gulped and Steve closed his eyes, gently shushing her as he tried to stop his own tears. He knew full well about her fear of needles and anaesthetic which stemmed from the time Hydra had taken her. She had told him all about the fact they had injected her with stuff that left her paralysed from the waist down for hours, just to watch her lose her dignity and control. That was the reason she had refused epidurals for all their kids. The fact she was shouldering this, as well as knowing how she didn’t have a choice tore him in two.
“I’ll be with you, the whole time.” he said softly, looking down at her and pressing his forehead to hers. She smiled and nodded, wiping her eyes. “Do you want a drink or anything before I hit the shower?”
“I wouldn’t mind a camomile tea.”  she looked at him.
“Ok.” he dropped a kiss to her head and stood up. He made his way downstairs.
He flipped on the kettle and became that lot in his own thoughts he didn’t hear the security system announce Emmy had come home which was why her voice startled him slightly when she spoke.
“You ok pops?”
Steve spun round to see her watching him carefully as she leaned against the counter, her long hair hung around her heart shaped face, her eyes shining.
“You weren’t out long.” he commented and she shrugged.
“Brooke has an early shift tomorrow. We shot a few games and ate and…well that was it. It was fun.” “Good.” he smiled “Where’s Queens?”
“I dropped him home.” Emmy shrugged and she didn’t need to explain why. She was trying to give him and Katie some peace, which Steve was grateful for.
He took a moment to look at his eldest, taking in not for the first time how pretty she was. With her olive skin, ebony hair and deep brown eyes she looked nothing like him or Katie, which was to be expected as she wasn’t biologically theirs but still, she’d turned into a gorgeous young woman, but what he was most satisfied about was her compassion and drive. She’d aced university, working so hard and was now channelling her skills and her degree into becoming a Child Therapist, working alongside a local Children’s charity which the Stark Relief Fund had set up. Steve had no doubts that she’d end up running the Charity on behalf of SI at some point- she had the drive and passion to do so and she had been adamant since she was 17 that she wanted to work with kids who suffered from abuse, just as she had, using her own experiences to help others.
That he could attribute directly to Katie, and he couldn’t be more proud to do so if he tried.
“I’m fine honey.” He said, giving her a small smile and she chuckled.
“Liar.”
He sighed “you always call me out on my bullshit. You’re like your mother.”
She shrugged “There are worse people to be like”
“Very true.” He agreed, turning to the kettle as he picked it up and poured hot water over the teabag in the mug.
“Do you think you’ll get any more trouble from Rori?”
“Probably.” Steve licked his lips as he turned back to her. “But we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. Thank you for trying before by the way. I was a bit surprised you remembered all that to be honest”.
“Course I do.” She grinned “I was petrified you wouldn’t want me anymore.”
Steve shook his head “nothing could have been further from the truth”
“I know” she smiled “know what else I remember like yesterday?”
“The time you punched that jerk in the face at school?” Steve teased and she snorted
“Well yeah but that’s not what I was gonna say” she shook her head “I remember the day you got punched in the supermarket. You gave me the adoption papers that afternoon. It was Jamie’s birthday. Uncle Tony and Auntie Pep gave me my bracelet with my initials.”
Steve beamed “Yeah. Despite the punching that was a good day. You know, we’d had those papers for a week before we told you.”
Emmy took a deep breath “I don’t think I say this enough but I really am grateful you and mom took me in…”
“Em, you don’t need to-”
“I know.” she cut him off “But I am. You didn’t need to, but you did. And all of us, bump included are the luckiest kids around. You’re the best parents any kid could wish for.”
Steve felt his eyes misting over and he looked at Emmy, shaking his head “Come ‘ere.” he smiled and she pushed off the counter and walked towards him, stepping into his embrace “I know it might not seem like it at times with the others being as demanding as they are but we do love you with all our hearts Em.” he said, pressing a kiss to her head “You’ll always be our first baby.”
“Stop it!” she spluttered, stepping back to wipe her eyes.
He smiled and cupped her face before he took a deep breath “Anyway, I meant to ask…you and Queens still going to look at that apartment or…”
Emmy shrugged “It’s not important at the moment”
“Em.” Steve sighed “What’s going on with your mom, we don’t want that to impact on your plans.”
“No, I don’t mean that. Well, ok, that is important but, well,  I’m still training at work and Pete’s getting to grips with all the R&D department  at SI so we both kinda said if the right place appears then great, if not…well, we can wait.”
“Sensible decision.” he nodded, “You only just turned 22, and yes, I know…” he held his hand up to cut off what he knew full well was going to be her protest about wanting to be independent “You want to stand on your own two feet but, this is your home and always will be for as long as you want. And if you’re really desperate to be away from the chaos in here, well me and your mom had an idea that maybe we could do the Cabin up.”
“That’s your man cave.” she looked at him.
“I can move my art stuff into the attic or the garage.” he shrugged “We could use it and make you a little apartment. Just a thought to keep in mind.”
“Pete as well?” she asked and Steve looked at her, cocking his head to one side, taking a deep breath as he nodded.
“Queens as well.”
She smiled. “Thanks Dad. Maybe we can talk about it once everything has settled down.”
Steve nodded “Sounds like a plan.”
“You’d know, after all you are the star span-…”
“Yeah yeah.” he cut her off, rolling his eyes “And on that note I’m going to bed.” He picked up the mug containing Katie’s drink and stooped to give Emmy a peck on the cheek. “See you in the morning sweetie.”
“No don’t stay up too late?” she quipped in a deep voice as he walked past her. He chuckled and looked back over his shoulder.
“As you keep reminding me…” he dropped his chin to level her with a look “you’re a grown ass woman now.”
At that she let out a laugh and he smiled, before he left the room. Katie was in the en-suite when he got upstairs so he placed the mug down on her nightstand and then headed over to check on the kids. First off he stopped at Rori’s room and smiled as she was in her bed with Sparkles, her pink unicorn teddy clutched to her chest. He crossed the room and placed a kiss on her head, noting the tear tracks were still evident on her face. He felt a pang of guilt once more for his outburst at her earlier in the evening but really, she had deserved it, and he knew that tomorrow was a fresh start. He flicked off her lamp before he then headed over to check on Harry. He was led flat on his back, the covers tangled around his feet, his stuffed giraffe on the floor as always. Pulling the duvet up around his chin he tucked him in, errant giraffe placed by his side he dimmed thes night slightly, leaving it casting soft illuminated stars onto his ceiling, which was apt really as the boy was an absolute star of a kid. Then he headed over to Jamie’s room, the boy already asleep with Stark led by his feet.
“Down.” he instructed the dog, pointing to the basket in the corner of the room. The mutt gave him a reproachful look before he stood up and gave a huff as he jumped down and padded to his bed. Steve knew full well the dog would be back up there the minute he closed the door on his way out, but at least his conscience was clear when Katie moaned about dog hair on Jamie’s quilt. As he turned off Jamie’s TV it struck him how it seemed such a pointless thing to be complaining about all things considered.
Turning off the hall lights he made his way back into their bedroom where Katie was watching something on TV.
“They all ok?”
“Fast asleep” he smiled, pulling unbuttoning his plaid shirt before he tossed it into the hamper. He then shed his jeans and headed into the en-suite for a quick shower before he dried off, pulled on a clean pair of boxers and settled down into bed, Katie snuggling up to him, tossing her leg over his and laying her head on his chest. After a moment or so she moved, her hand dropping to her bump.
“You ok?”
“Yeah she’s kicking…” Katie smiled, “That’s the first time I’ve felt her doing that…she’s just been wriggling up until now.” She took Steve’s hand and he eagerly waited until he felt their baby give another little jab and he felt the grin spread across his face as he felt his daughter move for the first time. He shuffled down a little placing both hands either side of her bump.
“Hey Flossie…” he mumbled, pressing a kiss to the curve of Katie’s belly as her hand tangled into his hair.
“So we’re decided on Florence.” Katie chuckled and he peered up at her, smiling.
“Yeah, I think so.” he nodded, his hand feeling another kick and he gave another smile before he shuffled back upwards and lay on his side, looking at his wife .“Love you.” he said, sliding his nose against hers, seeking out her lips for a soft kiss.
“Love you too” she muttered against his mouth, unwilling to break away as his kiss grew a little more urgent. Eventually he pulled back, pressing his forehead to hers, his eyes closed.
“It’ll all be ok.” he muttered softly.
“You trying to convince me or yourself.” Katie asked.
“Bit of both.” he admitted.
She gave him another soft peck before she turned over, reaching for the remote. Flicking off the TV she shuffled back into his arms, her back pressed to his chest as Steve curled his arm around her, his hand cradling her bump and their precious cargo.
*****
November 2029
Things settled down a little after the initial shock of the news had sunk in. Katie was continuing to have regular scans and their baby was fine. Dr Kellet had suggested that they look to do the operation at 35 weeks, the point at which she was confident their baby would be absolutely fine. With that in mind they were given a provisional date of 9th January, subject to the situation remaining stable.
What didn’t improve, however, was Rori. Whilst there were no more outbursts or temper tantrums, her attitude had changed from one of anger to simple apathy. They’d told the kids what they were going to call their daughter, but Rori wasn’t interested. She wouldn’t talk to Katie’s bump, or feel it like the other kids did, she was just completely and utterly indifferent to the entire situation. And whilst it was better in some ways than her shouting and screaming, Steve could see it was starting to get to Katie which was why he had taken Rori out for the day to give Katie a bit of time where she didn’t have to worry or deal with her, and hopefully try to get the little girl to open up a bit more. She still hadn’t admitted to either of them what she was feeling and every time they tried to talk to her she simply changed the subject.
He’d taken her to the Natural History Museum in Manhattan, treating her to a ride on the subway which always fascinated her. They’d had a lovely afternoon, even if it had been a little cold outside, and she had enthusiastically looked at the exhibits on the dinosaurs and animals, her little face lighting up as she chatted away and completed the activity booklet she had been handed on their way in, tracking all the clues as they went.
There had been no mention of the baby, at all, and as they walked around in the gift shop, Rori browsing, Steve decided to raise it and see if she would talk to him and open up now they were alone and away from the house.
“Shall we pick something for Florence, ready for when she is born?” he asked her as she examined a shelf full of stuffed animals.
Rori looked at her dad and averted her eyes “if you want…”
“Don’t you want?“
She shrugged
“Ok…” Steve sighed, knowing when he was beat. “Come on then, let’s go home.”
Rori turned her eyes to his before he looked at the floor, her sneakers scuffing on the tiles of the gift shop. “I’m sorry…” She whispered, her lower lip wobbling.
“What for?” Steve asked, taking a deep breath as he crouched down and gently brushed her hair out of her eyes, one of his hands gently resting along her rib cage.
“Being mean.”
“You’re not being mean.” he said gently, which was true. She wasn’t. “You’re sad though. I can tell.”
She shrugged again, still avoiding his eyes.
“Why does the baby upset you so much Princess?” He pressed gently. She looked at him, her eyes watering.
“Coz she’s gonna take you and momma away from me…”
“Oh Rori…” Steve sighed as her tears trickled down her face. Finally hearing her admit it out-loud meant he could confront it head on, give her the direct re-assurance she needed. “I told you already, that’s not gonna happen. Me and momma love you and that’s not gonna change.” She sniffled as he wiped her tears away with his thumbs. “Harry was born after you, did he take us away from you?”
“No.” She sniffled.
“So why would the new baby be any different?”
“Coz she’s gonna be your new princess. I’m not gonna be special anymore.”
Steve felt his heart breaking as Rori began to sob.
“Ok…” he said, picking her up and carrying her out of the shop into the large foyer. She pressed her face into his neck and he gently rubbed her back as she cried whilst he walked them over to a bench at the side of the room where he sat silently with her, gently rocking her as she cried, Katie’s words from a few weeks ago echoing in his head.
“She’s jealous Steve. And we only have ourselves to blame.”
As much as Katie had said “we” she may as well have said “you”. Rori had been his little princess since the day they had found out they were having a girl, and Steve knew he indulged her, because he fucking loved her. He loved her craziness, her sassiness, the way she gave him so much back chat and general attitude…even if it did drive him mad. But most of all he adored the way she looked just like Katie and had inherited her mother’s tactile nature. She was always the first to reach him when he got home from work, racing down the hall to fling herself at him. She insisted on sitting on his knee at night as they watched TV, she would crawl into his and Katie’s bed between them on a Sunday morning for a cuddle before they got up. He was the one she went to when she had fallen over, unless he was out, and then Katie would suffice but he would get the full sympathy play when he got home. It was the exact role reversal to their two boys who sought Katie out for their bumps and scrapes but came to him for the fun and games. Both parents gave them all different things, which was how it was supposed to be and fuck, Rori would always be his little girl, as would Flossie, and a new baby sister should be filling her heart with love not worry and sadness. As he sat still, she hiccupped slightly, he sobs growing quieter and he pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
“I’m gonna tell you something now sweetheart.” He said as she tightened the grip her little hands had on his jacket as he continued to gently rock her to and fro “you have no idea how special you are to me and your momma. You know we lost you once…”
“Lost me?” Rori sniffed “how?”
“Remember we told you about the bad man that made Uncle Bucky and Uncle Sam go away…and how your Uncle Tony died with Natasha to bring them back?”
She nodded
“Well when he sent all those people away, you were in your momma’s tummy and he made you go away too. We were so upset when we found out.”
“But I came back?” She asked, her green eyes wide
“You sure did. You were our little magic baby” He smiled “And when you were born we were so happy to finally meet you because we had waited so long, Rori. And I remember thinking when I held his for the first time how beautiful and perfect you were.”
“So I am special?”
“Of course you are” he nodded “I mean how can you not be? Your birthday is the same as your Uncle Tony’s and you’re named after 2 other very special girls.” He smiled as she glanced down at her hands which were now playing with the buttons on his shirt. “Your nanna Sarah and Natasha.”
“And Princess Aurora” she looked at him.
“And Princess Aurora” he nodded.
“And I look like Momma.” Rori nodded back to him, “which makes me pretty too right Daddy?”
“Absolutely.” Steve smiled “your momma is the prettiest woman in the world.”
Rori looked at him for a moment before she smiled “Can we go back to the shop please Daddy? I want to get the baby something now.”
Steve smiled. “Sure, come on.”
She hopped off his lap and they headed back inside to the store, her little hand in his and she led him over to the soft toy section, her eyes roaming the shelves, brow furrowed in concentration.
“What should we get?” She asked, looking up at Steve.
“You pick.” He said, looking down at her. “I trust you. You are a princess after all so you know what princesses like…”
She contemplated his words before she glanced back at the shelves, scanning the plush toys. Steve stood patiently before she tugged on his hand and pointed to a zebra which sat on the shelf in her eye-line.
“That one.” She said firmly
“Sure?” He asked and she nodded.
“Zebras are like ponies daddy.” She said “and all princesses should have a pony”
“Alright. You wanna grab it?” He looked down at her, his spare hand gently cupping her cheek.
She nodded and turned back, plucking one down off the shelf.
“Do you want one?”
“No, I have a Sparkles” she shrugged “Unicorns are much better.”
Steve looked at her for a moment, and decided to let her have that little victory.
“I think we should call her Rolfina.” Rori said, handing it to him.
“Rolfina?” he frowned “Where on earth did you hear that?” “Dur, it’s the zebra in Zootopia.” she said and Steve rolled his eyes.
“Course it is.” he mumbled, heading to the till to pay.
***** “Momma!” Rori burst into the living room “Look…”
She held out the toy zebra as she made her way over to where Katie was sat, tapping at her laptop
“Wow!” she smiled, setting the computer down onto the coffee table. “Did you have a nice time?” “Yeah. I did the activity book and we did the treasure hunt and then we bought this…” she paused and Steve leaned in the doorway, bracing himself for her to clam up again but she continued, albeit her voice a little softer “…its for the baby.” Katie hid her shock well, Steve had to give his wife credit.
“She’ll love it.” Katie smiled “You can put it in her room if you like?”
Rori nodded and then hesitated before she climbed up onto the sofa and wrapped her arms around her Mother’s neck. Katie hugged her back and looked at Steve who flashed her a wink as he pushed off the door frame.
“Where are the boys?” “Playing lego in the den.” Katie smiled as Rori pulled back slightly.
“Can I say hi to the baby?” she asked shyly and Katie nodded.
“Of course you can.” Rori wriggled down a little, her cheek pressing to Katie’s bump over her t-shirt. She took a deep breath and spoke in a soft voice. “Hi Flossie…” There was a second pause and Katie felt a jab in her belly and Rori’s head flew up as her eyes widened and she squealed. “Momma she moved!”
“That’s because she heard you baby.” Katie smiled, thanking her lucky stars that Flossie had chosen that exact moment to give a harsh boot. Steve felt his heart swell as he watched Rori return her hands to Katie’s stomach.
“She can hear me?”
“Yeah, she can hear you all.” “So…” Rori sat up a little, her eyes downcast “Will she have heard me say those nasty things when I said I hated her?”
“And she will have also heard you say sorry.” Steve said, sitting down next to her. He wasn’t even going to try to explain that the baby wouldn’t be able to understand a word of what Rori was saying.
“And she knows its me?” Rori asked “For sure?” “For sure.” Rori gave a grin and jumped down running into the hallway.
“Hey losers!” she shouted, heading towards the den “I just talked to the baby and she listened and knows me coz she moved…” Whatever sarcastic reply Jamie shot back died as the door to the den shut and Katie looked at Steve.
“Ok, who is she and where’ the real Diva?” “What can I say, I just have that magic way with my girls…” he grinned. “Hmmm, sure you do.” Katie looked at him and he smiled, leaning over to give her a kiss.
“And maybe Rolfina had something to do with it.” he grinned, picking up the stuffed Zebra.

Any Way The Wind Blows (Rainbow Rowell) – 4/5 stars. More arbitrary stars under the cut, and jot-it-down-as-it happens commentary.
5 stars for Simon, Baz, and SnowBaz. 5 stars for the Salisburys, would recommend for a long lost family. 4 stars for Penny and Shepard. 3 stars for friendship shenanigans. 2,5 stars for Agatha, my sweet summer child why. 2,5 stars for the non SnowBaz-related conflicts, because huh? 2,5 stars for plot, because how did we get here? ??? stars for pace.
Commentary
-Lady Ruth!! We have an uncle! Simon, let’s find Jamie! -Simon, for fuck’s sake, answer the man’s texts, he deserves that much. Break my heart with unanswered texts, why don’t you. -I know this must happen. I know they must separate and breathe. I know. But it hurts. -Where is Agatha? I need her and her not giving two shits about any of this, I’m overwhelmed. -I don’t want Baz to find Simon. Somehow, I think that’ll be worse. Leaving him with a note is the worst thing (well, second worst next to saying nothing, I guess). -Lmfao, never has art in a book scared me so. A wand? Is it Baz’s? Why is it bent? WhAT DOes It ALL MEaN! -SIMON. I love you so much, Simon, please, use your words, even if it’s to give him closure, a reason, something. It’s hard, but Baz deserves it and you deserve it, please, love. -This is exactly how I’d pictured Baz reacting to Simon breaking up with him. -“Use your words,” he sneers. (That’s right, that’s my boy). SIMON, you’ve just cut out my heart and stomped on it, ey. -I understand Simon, but I also stuttered out cries when he said it’s not working between them because he’s not a magician. Baz, I’m with you, I support you, I love you. -I love that Baz’s brain works sharply even as he is in distress. - I do believe they’re endgame, so I’m super excited to see HOW, after all this. -“I never thought I’d be the first thing you ever gave up on.” Bazzzz, my man, the shade, I love you! -I expected the breakup in the beginning so that we’d have time to build up to being a thing again, but oh man. I understand Simon looking at Baz and only seeing who HE isn’t and what HE lost, but oh man. -Agatha is the best, yes Agatha, bring us relief! -Oomph, I’m so sad. How do we fix this, Baz is completely broken and Simon completely lost and overwhelmed. -Is there an overarching plot? There’s so many things – the goblins, Fiona’s rummaging, the curse, missing Jamie, maybe NowNext. Who’s the main antagonist? -Honestly, I just want to read about fierce Agatha and splendid Shepard rn, everything else hurts. -Please remind me henceforth to refer to vampires as “sexy bedbugs.” Thank you, Baz, I’m with you, I love you. -I absolutely adore Baz’s relationship with Daphne and his siblings. I’ve loved it since the glimpses in Carry On. -I think Fiona is seeing Nicodemus, I’ve believed so even before picking up the book. -Simon Snow is on our door?!?! What’s happening, what is happening! I’m getting whiplash! I was not prepared, wait, help! -“This is our soundtrack now.” Omfg, I love Baz. -But damn, I love Simon, I love his voice. If it all goes well, I can’t wait to reread the book with the necessary peace of mind to soak it all in in its proper context. -Lmfao, Simon says, "I came to tell you something" and I am honestly scared to turn the page and see what it is. This is going splendidly. -Baz slams the door on Simon’s face?! I fucking gasped and clutched my peals!!! Oh M Y GOD. -“I never believed in us”??? I understand what he’s saying, but oh my God, why have you come, Simon, why are you here, this hurts! -The way they CRY differently, Baz more restrained and Simon just letting the tears fall and licking them as needed, I absolutely adore it. -Where is this going, Simon, we’re all crying, are you happy now? (I know you’re not, I’m sorry, I love you, this is just hard). -This part is really just me hitting the book and biting my hand and muttering, “We’re fine, we’re fine, we’re fine,” with the occasional cry of “RAINBOWWWW.” -Simon is saying I love you Simon is saying I love you Simon is saying – AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I gasped. So hard. Deep breaths. We’re fine. It’s fine. -I love this “trying” so much. I love my boys so much. -My heart is whole, my crops are watered, flowers are blooming, birds are singing, Simon and Baz are sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. -Simon is relieved that he’s still with Baz, I’m relieved that he still has wings, all is right. -“I just want to be with you,” I say. “And this is where we are now. I’m a broken-down mess, and you’re a rat-drinking monster.” Poetry. POETRY! -Shepard, you’re all I
need, these people are too much for me. -Reading fanfiction of what. Reading fanfiction of what, Penny. -Oh shut up, Shepard saved her chalks. -We should go to the Mage’s estate. -I love Simon. He has this pureness. -“Simon took the napkin, then licked the butter off his arm.” Yes, Simon, I love you. -Catch me at 1am making love oaths to Simon. Really, I can’t blame Baz, it’s just a Simon thing. -Omfg hold me, we’re going to Lady Ruth’s! -Low-key loving that the Salisburys and the Pitches are on good terms already. Love that the boys are hitting it off with Lady Ruth. -Smith-Richards is promising people magic? Oh. Oh, this took a turn. I have zero idea where any of this is going. -Okay, hello, I love Lady Ruth. -Obviously I’m more invested in Baz and Simon than in anyone else, but every time there’s a Baz or Simon chapter, I’m actually petrified at what might come. -Smith is shady, I don’t like him. -Baz really be serving looks in this book. -“I would have liked to have had you for a friend here.” Oh my bb boy Simon, that is so soft. -Oh shut up, Baz left a rose for Lucy. -WILL there be an emergency? Will Baz drink Simon’s blood? Why are we dwelling? -Simon, talk to Penny, my love. I know we’re doing the thing where you’re both recovering from your co-dependency, but seriously, love, talk to her. -Come on, Shep, kiss the girl!! Oomph, they’re so cute. -Oooh, we’re doing the deep cut, we’re doing Philippa, we’re tying off threads, nice! Also ouch. But nice. -NICODEMUS, called it. -Yayyy, the gang is reuniting. But who are we fighting? Who’s the antagonist? Why are the goats leaving? -Baz has a key?! Whoa, Simon! -Well, fuck indeed about your magic, Simon, but did you try calling the sword? -"So no one is cursed…” “Just you, babe.”Ahahahahaha! Sorry. -Will a goblin attack the flat? What was up with the goblin back at the beginning? -“Mmm,” he mmms. POETRY! -I’m sorry, Simon, you have a key to a hidden waterfall?! Care to elaborate? -Baz, my love, let Simon take care of you for once, it’s okay. He wants to do it. He can do it. -“I love you,” he says. “It’s good.” Awww, my bb Simon. -What do you mean immune to magic? What’s happening? -Oh wait, he’s culling the less powerful mages? Is that it? -I see you lying, Simon Snow. -Wait, but why is Simon immune? Is it because he’s a dead spot? -It IS a culling. -…What, that’s it? We’re just arresting Smith on a rooftop? That’s it? -IS Simon a dead spot? And if he is, does that mean that the magic will return? What does it all mean??? -But how did Lucy die??? -“y” S I M O N you’re a texting icon, I love you. -Baz, my man, I’m with you as usual, I don’t want the wings and tail gone either. -I have ten pages left and I’m hysterically hopeful and scared, with the amount of threads that are still loose. -But... a family sword? -Kinda disappointed that Simon didn’t get his magic back, but it’s a bold move, I respect it. -Agatha gets the epilogue?? That’s a choice.

New Years Resolutions for the Covens?
Alright! I passed your request on to both the Hook Coven and the Colin Character Coven, and they’ve sent back an envelope, so let’s open it and see what’s inside...
What the fuck is this shit? “Donate to the Faceless Mark fund! Only 700 cents a day can help a faceless young man buy a new face! Your girlfriend will love it!” Fucking Mark, I swear to God...
ANYWAY! Strange fake charity fliers aside, let’s see what ELSE is in here... Oh, it seems like each of the covens’ members has gone home for the holidays, and rather than meeting in person to share their resolutions, they’ve each written their own on a little slip of paper and sent it to Detective Rogers in Hyperion Heights, who put the envelope together. That’s cute :)
Also, someone’s put a little scrap of something in here... just a small scrap of... Oh dear God, Harrison’s put his G-string in here. No, wait. I stand corrected. He’s written his resolution ON the G-string: “Bang more students.”
Tumblr media
Well, the rest have to be better, right? Let’s hope so.
Oh, this is sweet, and a little sad. Rowe hopes that the new year brings an end to the fighting and that he won’t die, so maybe someday he can kiss a girl. That’s surprisingly poignant for someone with about 30 seconds of screen time.
It looks like Norman Quested has sent along a note, resolving that 2021 will be the year he’ll finally come out of hiding and let us all meet him! Yeah, sure, Norman. I’ll believe THAT when I see it. It looks like Emmett Fitzgerald, Nick, and John Bloom have all made similar resolutions for 2021 - and I think they’re all completely full of shit and believe none of them :( But who knows? Maybe one of them will pull off some sort of miracle and emerge from the great unknown where characters go when they are no more T_T
Oh, here’s Brendan’s resolution. Let’s see... In 2021, he resolves to kill less people. Wait. People? Multiple? Brendan, how many people have you killed?! I knew that guy was a nutter. Knew it.
Looks like the next one is Peter Sheerin’s... Well, more like smells like it’s his. This thing reeks of pot smoke and corn nuts. ANYWAY. Peter’s resolution for 2021 is to... get high with Snoop Dogg. Hey, Peter, you and everybody else, man. Get in line. Oh, he also wants to... *strains to read it* Show him his hairy micke- HEY NOW, this is a family program!! (Wait, is it? I don’t think it is, actually. Nevermind. Carry on with your bad self, Peter.)
According to this next bit of paper, Jamie hopes this might finally be the year he gets an article on the front page of Magazine Magazine, everyone’s favorite periodical for people who enjoy periodically-released periodicals.
Conor is up next, it appears, and he’s resolving to stay on his meds and try to win Daisy back in 2021! Good luck and godspeed, Conor, you adorable little peanut - we all want the very best for you! <3
The next piece of paper in here doesn’t have a resolution on it at all. It just says, “2020 was tough" and I think we ALL know who that was.
Oh. Wow. Someone’s put a fancy scroll in here, complete with a wax seal from... Bavaria? Oh, of course! This one must be from Duke Phillip. Let’s see what it says... “I am somewhere where I don’t know where I am.” Umm... Didn’t this come from Bavaria? Isn’t he from there? Oh. Wait a minute. When we sent him home for the holidays, did we remember to send him to Bavaria in the 1500s? Oh. Oh shit. If anyone in Germany happens to see a ridiculously handsome man in medieval clothes, send him back this way. He’s very confused.
Next up is Ben... who resolves to keep his girlfriend happy no matter what the cost, because he’s more than a little co-dependent and I added that last part myself, because we all know it’s sadly very true.
Michael Kovak’s sent us his resolution on a nice letterhead here. Seems like he’s doing quite well for himself with his exorcisms. Let’s see what his resolution is... “Go the whole year without getting vomited on by a demon.” Well, umm, okay. Thank you for sharing, Michael. We’ll all cross our fingers for you and also stay far, far away from you when you’re working. Ew.
...And here’s another pamphlet for Mark’s face charity. He’s scribbled on it, “Get money for a new face. Bang more girls.” Well, at least that little shit’s still on brand, I guess. Good luck with the face thing, Mark.
Oh no, this one’s sad. It just says, “Get a name” with a frowny face :( Aww... Now I feel bad :( Everybody feels bad :( Let’s cheer ourselves up!
Tumblr media
Names are over-rated, baby. We love you, anyway 💗
Brennan Sullivan’s resolution is, as always, to never do that again - with “that” basically referring to almost the entirety of the film “The Dust Storm”. The human liver is simply not equipped to deal with that much liquor in one weekend, and the human heart is not equipped to deal with people like Nora :(
We already GOT Harrison’s resolution, unfortunately...
Oh, here’s a timely one! Douxie resolves to keep Nari safe and not let the Arcane Order catch her. Good job, Douxie! We know we can count on you to keep the world safe! Oh, he also wants to master time travel so he can go back in time and get more of those buns.
Let’s see who’s next... Oh dear. This one’s a piece of tree bark with the word “RESURRECT” burned into it somehow. Umm. We’ll just set that one aside and not talk about it anymore. It’s not like it’s an indication that a psychotic dead guy wants to be reborn to spread the word of his God in blood and hellfire or anything. It definitely doesn’t say that anywhere. I’d tell you if it did, of course, but you all might want to get your affairs in order anyway. Just in case.
Maybe we can convince Michael to cut his holiday short to come deal with this if we promise he won’t get vomited on... 🤔
Abe resolves to make sure everyone knows he’s actually r̶̙̥̲͈̐̊͑́̌̇́́ḙ̷͚̮̩͚͓͕̹̱̩̜̽̂̓͂̕͠d̷͓͈̥͈̞̱̗̥̼͌̎̌́͗̔͋͜ạ̵͎̯͍͉͓͚̬͖͓͐̈̏̄̈͜͜ͅͅç̵͍̻͕͚͉͚̯͔͔̝̮̜̪͛͌̌̂̂͊̊͌t̸̨̛̠̳̲̜̀e̵͚̞̾̇̆͑͠d̷̡̻͎͎͎̠͍͚̞̈́̍̓͐ͅ so he’ll finally get the respect he deserves!!
This next one isn’t so much a resolution as a... Huh. Well, this kinda looks like the sort of note you hand to a bank teller when you’re robbing the place: “Put all your money and the name of a doctor who fixes knees in the envelope and send it back or else.” Haha. Jokes on you, JJ... I ain’t got no money.
Next up should be Gordo Cooper, but there isn’t anything in here from him... the only other thing in the envelope is a smaller envelope the Hooks sent. I wonder what happened to Gordo’s resolution? I hope it didn’t get lost... Wait, is that my shower running? I’m the only one home and I’m writing this post, so who the hell is in my showe- OH. Hold on a sec.
Tumblr media
Yep. Just as I suspected. Gordo delivered his resolution via the Shower Angst Vortex. He resolves to stop being a dick and win back Trudy, but also to bang more chicks, meet aliens, and ride on a star... so I’m not really sure how all of that’s going to work out for him in the long run.
Now on to the Hooks! Let’s see... OG Hook’s resolution is to be the best father and husband he can be, awww 💗 Wish Hook’s resolution is to spend as much time with Alice as possible to make up for lost time, awww 💗 Little Killian’s resolution is to grow up big and strong and be a hero like the other Killians, awww 💗 Slave Killian’s resolution is to stop letting his brother down, awww 😭 Navy Killian’s resolution is to make his brother proud, awww 💗 Captain Jones’ resolution is to avenge his brother’s death, yikes 😳 Captain Hook’s resolution is to kill Rumplestiltskin, double yikes 😳 Dark Hook’s resolution is... oh, dear. “Kill the lot of you and burn your towns to cinders” 😳😳😳 Detective Rogers wants to find peace of mind and learn to forgive himself 😭 And Cowardly Deckhand Hook wants... uhh... to try almond milk? Oh, bless his heart 😊
Wait, where’s Old Hook’s resolution? *looks again* Oh, here it is...
“Bang more girls.”
GODDAMMIT, HOOK 😩

Stark Spangled Forever  Bump In The Road
Tumblr media
Summary: What should be a routine sexing scan for their latest baby throws up something a little more serious, and leaves Katie and Steve reeling. Warnings: Language! And some mega angst with a light sprinkling of fluff
A/N: What’s life in the Rogers household without drama… sorry…but this and the follow up chapter are a lead in to my mini series- Stark Spangled Destiny. And to be honest, I’m sick of reading shit on here today so thought I’d post some of my own.
@southerngracela​ @sweater-daddiesdumbdork​ @icanfeelastormbrewing​ dedicated to you, my home girls...
SSF Masterlist // WIYPT Masterlist
Tumblr media
October 2029
It was meant to be a routine scan...they'd been to 3 of these already after all...a routine, 20 week scan to find out the sex of their latest addition. But as Steve sat there, the words of Katie's ob-gyn made him feel nothing but numbness.
"I'm...I don't understand?" Katie said, her voice quiet "You said at the last scan that it would most likely right itself."
"And 9 times out of 10 Mrs Rogers it does." Dr Kellet said, sadly "Normally a low lying placenta moves but it's developed into something called placenta accreta, which is where it has grown too deep into the uterine wall. This means that it won't detach during labour and can cause critical levels of blood loss."
Steve swallowed and turned his attention from the small, blank screen which had moments before shown the image of their baby to the Doctor as Katie gripped his hand even tighter "So what does this mean?" he demanded.
Dr Kellet sighed "I won't lie to either of you. It is considered a high risk complication. However, we are lucky in that we have caught it now. In a lot of cases as it often causes no signs or symptoms, we don't realise until the mother is in labour which can have disastrous consequences for her and baby. As we have picked it up now, you'll need careful monitoring for the rest of your pregnancy and we'll have to perform an early C-section delivery..." she paused "Followed by a hysterectomy."
“A hysterectomy?" Steve said gently "as in..."
"Surgical removal of the womb yes." Dr Kellet says "We do his at the time of the C-section, so you'll be awake with your baby Mrs Rogers...it just means you'll be in hospital for a few days, possibly a week or so to recover."
Katie swallowed, taking a deep breath "You said early..."
The Doctor nodded. "Yes, anything form 34 weeks but again, that will be subject to how you go. Obviously the longer we leave it the better but...to be honest, all your babies have been fully baked, to use the popular term now-a-days, thanks to Dad's enhanced DNA so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Worst case scenario they may need a few days in the Neonatal Unit but..."
Katie wiped at her eyes with her spare hand and Steve felt his heart contracting painfully at the sight of her as he bent over to kiss her head.
"I know this is a lot to take in..." Dr Kellet said, her tone sympathetic "But we've found it in time to deal with it. I assure you, it won't make any difference to your baby's development...it's you it poses the biggest danger for. But, as we're prepared, like I said, we can deal with it."
Katie nodded and sniffed a little "Is there anything that causes it or..."
"No, not really." Dr Kellet shook her head. "Women over 35 are more susceptible to suffering from an accreta but your placenta laying low is what's done this. Like I say, it's rare but not completely uncommon."
"This is not your fault." Steve looked at her, speaking sternly as he knew exactly what she was thinking. Her green eyes locked onto his and she gave him a small smile as he kissed the back of her hand.
"No,it isn't." Dr Kellet said, equally as sternly "This is just one of those things Mrs Rogers."
The three of them fell silent and after a few seconds, Dr Kellet took a deep breath and looked at Katie.
"Ok, so...how about we get some good news huh?" she asked, picking up the wand and pressing it back to Katie's stomach. "Let's find out if it's pink or blue."
Once more the tiny profile of their baby filled the screen and Steve felt Katie's fingers tighten around his again. He squeezed her hand back and Dr Kellet made a little noise in her throat. "Ahh, there we go...and it's another little girl mom and dad..."
Katie's face broke into a smile as did Steve's and he pressed another kiss to her hand which he know held in both his, his elbows resting on the edge of the bed. As they both watched, their daughter moved her tiny little fist in front of her face, and Steve swallowed, blinking back tears.
After a little more discussion with the Doctor who told Katie to try and stay calm and to call her if she had any worries, they booked in with the receptionist on the Gyne Ward for another scan in a fortnights time and then after bidding Dr Kellet a final goodbye they made their way back to the ground floor, both lost in their thoughts. Steve kept shooting a side glance at Katie whose face was straight, but he could see the sadness in her eyes. He was fighting back the tears himself, he hated this. The thought that something could go wrong, something that meant he might lose her or their baby...but she would be in good hands. He trusted Dr Kellet implicitly afer the safe birth of the other 3 and, after all, like the woman said, early diagnosis made a huge difference. The elevator doors opened and they walked down the busy corridor towards the main doors of the building, and as they reached the main reception desk a young man and a heavily pregnant woman passed them going in the opposite direction. Katie's eyes followed them and she stopped, the hand that wasn't in Steve's falling to her bump as she took a deep breath, and turned to look up at him Steve.
"Well..."she smiled softly as she spoke for the first time since leaving the Maternity Suite, “At least when all this is done there's no chance you'll impregnate me again."
Steve spluttered a small chuckle, shaking his head "Seriously? You're making that joke now?"
"I have to." she said softly "Because if I don't I'm gonna cry."
Steve sighed and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her to him. She buried her face into his chest and he softly rubbed at her back, pressing a kiss to her head "It's gonna be fine Sweetheart." he said, sounding braver than he felt "You heard Doc. They found it early, we can prepare."
Katie nodded against his shirt, keeping her eyes scrunched shut "Yeah..."
"And you get a few more days recovery...relaxing, away from the rabble at home."
Katie gave a watery laugh as she stepped back and looked up at him, "I'd rather be with them..."
"I know baby." he said, wiping her tears with his thumbs as he cupped her face "I know."
Katie took a deep, shaky breath and licked her lips before she smiled softly "Another girl though Stevie” and he gave a playful groan.
"Makes it 4 on 3, I’m outnumbered."
"Nah, it’s 4 on 4 if you count Stark."
"That's true." he grinned “Not sure how Jamie’s gonna take it though!”
"It's Rori you're gonna have to worry about." Katie looked at him, smirking a little as she made to continue walking, and Steve was pleased to see her Stark sassiness was creeping back through.
"How so?”
"Because she's suddenly going to have to cope with not being you only little princess anymore...there's gonna be another girl fighting to wrap you around her pinkie."
"Well..." Steve said, curling an arm round his wife's shoulders as they walked out into the sunshine. "Let's go break the news...."
"Kinda wish you still had the shield..." Katie mumbled, and at that he let out a loud laugh, pulling her closer and pressing a kiss to her temple.
***** It was after dinner that they told the kids about the sex of the baby. They all gathered in the sitting room, the youngest two in their pyjamas as Katie told them all that they should be ready to buy a lot more pink things.
“A girl?” Jamie looked at them both, raising an eyebrow.
“Yeah.” Steve smiled at his eldest son who was sat in the chair on the opposite side of the room. Rori was perched on his knee whilst Harry was sat on Katie’s, his little hand on her bump.
“Wow…” Harry mumbled, looking a Katie “Sister?”
“Yup.” she smiled, kissing his head as he smiled at her. She looked at Jamie who shrugged at her.
“Whatever.” he said, grinning “I don’t mind…as long as it doesn’t turn out like her.” he pointed to Rori.
“Shut up Jamie!” she glared at him as Steve sighed.
“Ok, come on guys…” he said his tone carried enough warning to shut them up “Don’t fight.”
“I think it’s awesome.” Emmy smiled, where she was slumped on the rug, tickling Stark. “Another Rogers girl eh Rori?”
Rori looked at Emmy, then to Steve, then to Katie’s bump before she shook her head “No. I don’t want it.” she said nonchalantly, jumping off Steve’s knee and heading to the door.
“Rori.” Katie said, and she stopped to turn to her. “Come here.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Aurora.” Steve frowned at her, his voice stern and she sighed, taking small steps back into the room. “Come on princess, this is a happy time.” She looked at him, her face sullen “Why do you have to have a girl?”
“We don’t pick honey.” Katie looked at her, Harry shifting in her lap a little, his hand tangling in her hair. “And it’s not something we can change.” “But I don’t want a girl!” she stamped her foot and Katie sighed, rubbing her forehead a little and Steve felt the nerve in his jaw twitching. After everything they’d been told and had to process today he was mentally drained and really NOT in the mood for one of her little temper tantrums.
“That’s enough!” he said loudly and she looked at him, her green eyes widening slightly before she recovered herself and fixed him with a filthy look. He saw Emmy and Jamie exchange a glance and Jamie stood up, backing to the door.
“I’m gonna go play on the computer in the den…” he said, before he hurried out of the room sensing an impending Diva meltdown. Which arrived seconds later.
“I hate it!” Rori glared at her father and then Katie “I hate the baby already and I don’t want it in this house.” “Aurora Sarah Natasha Rogers! That is a horrible thing to say.” Steve pointed at her, feeling his neck warming with anger. “You apologise right now”
“No.”
“Fine.” Steve said, standing up. He pointed to the door. “Go to your room.”
“No.” she repeated
“Rori…” Katie said, her voice cracking slightly as she blinked back her tears “Do what your father says.”
“Make me.” she folded her arms and looked at Katie, her chin raised defiantly and Steve let out a noise of frustration that vibrated in his throat like a growl. “Don’t tempt me.” he glowered at her and she turned her attention to him.  “You have until the count of 3 to get out of my sight and up those stairs before I drag you up them myself.”
Rori looked at him, blinking and he started his countdown.
“One…”
Nothing.
“Two…” his voice grew louder.
At that point, it was like something twigged in her brain and she suddenly understood exactly how pissed he was. Her eye filled with tears and she wheeled round, running from the rooms her sobs carrying to their ears as her feet stomped up the stairs. They heard the dull slam of her bedroom door and Steve’s hands fell to his hips and he took a deep sigh, looking at his feet.
Katie sniffed slightly and Harry looked at her, frowning.
“No cry momma…” he said softly, his hands wrapping around her neck. She pressed her face into his hair and kissed his head.
“I’m ok baby.” she said gently. Steve shook his head and looked at his wife, running his hand over his face.
“What’ going on?” Emmy asked, looking at her mom then to her dad.
“Nothing, just sick of her attitude…” Steve snapped back and Emmy looked at him.
“Don’t take it out on me.”
“Sorry I’m…I didn’t mean to.” he shook his head.
“What are you not telling me?” Emmy pressed “Don’t treat me like a kid!”
Katie looked at Steve then to Emmy before she sighed “The scan showed something up. I have a condition called placenta accreta. The baby is fine it just means that I will need a caesarean section…” she swallowed “And then a hysterectomy afterwards. But it’s gonna be ok, they picked it up and we have time to prepare.”
Emmy took a deep breath “So you’ll both be ok?” she asked “You and the baby?”
“Yeah.” Katie told her. “It was just a shock, for both of us to hear that’s all.”
“I can imagine.” Emmy said quietly “I’ll ring Pete, cancel tonight, I can stay…” “No,no…” Steve protested at the same time Katie shook her head.
“Em,you don’t need to do that.” Katie sighed “We don’t want you to…honestly there’s no need.” “Are you sure?” “There’s nothing you can do.” Steve said “There’s nothing any of us can do and there’s not point you worrying about it so…go out, enjoy yourself ok?”
She nodded and stood up, crossing to give her mom a hug before doing the same to Steve and heading out of the room. Steve looked at his wife for a moment before Harry glanced at him.
“Dadda mad?” he asked softly.
“Not with you pal.” he replied, crossing the room to sit besides them. Harry shifted and untangled himself from Katie before he crawled over into Steve’s lap.
“I get sister?” he asked looking at Steve and Steve smiled at him.
“Yeah buddy.”
Harry grinned and nodded before he tugged on Steve’s beard and Steve playfully snapped his teeth at the tot’s fingers in the way he always did.
“Snappy snappy crocodile!” Harry laughed and Steve let out a chuckle before he looked at Katie, his hand gently squeezing her knee.
“I’ll give her 10 minute and then I’ll go speak to her.” Steve said.
“Don’t think I’ve ever heard you shout at her like that.” Katie raised her eyebrow.
“She deserved it.” Steve said, blowing a breath out of his nose. “Her attitude stinks.” “She’s jealous.” Katie said simply “And we only have ourselves to blame.”
“What do you mean?” Steve frowned.
“I mean we ruin her.” Katie said simply “We indulge her little diva attitude, brush her tantrums off as amusing most of the time…she’s not a bad kid, I mean 9 time out of 10 she’s awesome and everyone comments on how well behaved she is, how all of them are for that matter, but…” she sighed “Things are about to change for her, and like I said she’s going to have to share you-“ “She shares me now…” “Yes but not with another little girl.”
“Yes she does, we have Emmy…” “Emmy isn’t little.” Katie shook her head. “She was a lot older when Rori was born and she’s been there for Rori’s entire life.” Katie reasoned “This is different. And it’s going to take some getting used to. I’m not excusing her behaviour before you say it…” she held her hand up to cut him off as he opened his mouth to speak. “She was really naughty then and you were absolutely right to do what you did…I guess, well we just need to be prepared to follow it through because I don’t think that’s the end of it.”
“So how do we deal with it?” Steve said after a moment’s deliberation.
“We keep her involved, try as much as we can to ensure she becomes interested in the baby.” Katie shrugged “And perhaps if you can get her to talk to you, admit what she’s feeling that might help.” “Easier said than done.” Steve looked at his wife “She’s as stubborn as you.
“Pot, Kettle Rogers.” Katie raised an eyebrow and Steve chuckled, leaning over to give Katie a soft kiss.
“Gross…” Harry mumbled, in a very Jamie like way.  Steve blew a raspberry on his cheek, making him giggle and scrunch his body up, pushing Steve away. They both spent a bit of time with the tot then, talking to him about Nursery, listening to what his limited vocabulary told them, before Katie headed into the den to check on Jamie and Steve jogged up the stairs to face the Star Spangled Diva.
“Rori…” he said, poking his head round the door.
“Go away.” She sniffed and he sighed, shaking his head.
“Sorry, can’t do that.” he said, stepping into the room. “It’s the law in this house that we don’t go to bed angry, remember?”
She looked up at him from where she sat on the floor, her Scrap Book (or the crap book as he and Jamie dubbed it) open on the floor at a page where she had been sticking in some pictures of animals from an old book he’d picked up in the University second hand shop for her to dissect. He noted she was labelling different parts of the animals with brightly coloured pens and smiled.
“You been doing animals at school?” he asked.
“No.” she shook her head “I just like them.” her voice fell quiet. Steve crossed the room and took a seat on her bed and she avoided his gaze again.
“Rori, look at me princess.”
She obeyed and her eyes locked onto his and he patted his knee “Come on.” She stood up and scrambled onto his lap and he wrapped his arms around her.
“Sorry for making you mad daddy.” she sniffed.
“And I’m sorry for shouting.” he replied, “But do you know why I did?”
“Because I said mean things.” “Yeah.” he nodded “You did. You wanna tell me why?”
She shrugged
“You know having a baby sister isn’t going to mean you miss out on anything.” he said softly “Me and Momma will still love you just as much. You know that right?”
“I guess so.” She shrugged again. Sensing he wasn’t going to get anything more out of her, he decided to leave it there and looked down at her, as she pulled back, her hand fiddling with the buttons on his shirt. “Do you think you need to apologise to someone else?”
“Momma.” she said quietly.
Steve nodded “Ok, go on then and come back up. It’s bed time for you.” “But…”
“Rori…you’ve been really naughty and apologising isn’t going to change that. So you can go say you’re sorry to momma and then it’s bed. We start again tomorrow, ok?”
“Ok Daddy.” she bowed her head and slid off his knee, heading out of the room and down the stairs. Steve gave her a second or so before he followed her down, almost bumping into Emmy who was dressed in a nice pair of jeans and a tight, low cut navy blue sweater under her black leather biker jacket. He looked at her and she shook her head
“Don’t bother.” she smirked “I’m 22 you can’t say it…” “I can and I am.” he arched an eyebrow “Cover yourself up.” “Bite me.” she grinned, and he nudged her with his elbow, chuckling as they headed down the stairs. Katie was in the kitchen crouched down, hugging a sobbing Rori.
“It’s ok.” she soothed “I forgive you baby.” Rori sniffed and pulled back, as Katie wiped her daughter’s tears with her fingers. “You know me and daddy love you don’t you?” She nodded and looked down at the floor, averting her gaze. “I know.” “Hey…” Emmy cut in, crossing the room and crouching down next to her mum. Katie stood up and looked at Steve who smiled at her. “You know what…when Mom and Dad told me they were having Jamie I got scared too.” “I’m not scared…” Rori said defiantly and Emmy shook her head.
“I’m not saying you are…I mean you’re way braver than me.” she smiled “But I thought having Jamie might mean there was no room for me anymore.” “There’s lots of room.” Rori looked at her confused. “We have a big home.”
“I know that now, but I didn’t at the time.” Emmy smoothed her little sister’s hair back. “I thought Mom and Dad wouldn’t love me as much because I wasn’t actually theirs but they did. And that was almost 10 years ago. I’m still here. And Jamie was so cool as a baby, we got to do loads of fun things, share stuff, play together.”
Rori looked at her sister and then looked down at her feet. “I’m not sharing my toys.” Emmy glanced up at her mom who shook her head, indicating that enough was enough. They’d had an apology and that was fine for tonight. Tempers needed to stay calm and they were in danger of spiralling again.
“Ok….come on.” Steve said, and Rori looked at him, her eyes pleading “Remember what I said.”
With a deep sigh she looked at her mom “Night momma.” she said, her eyes falling to the floor again.
“Night baby.” Katie said, bending down to give her head a kiss. She trudged to the door and looked up at her dad, batting her eyes at him and for a second Katie thought he might waver but he didn’t. Not a chance.
“Nice try.” he said, gesturing into the hall with his head. Rori gave an exasperated groan before she headed to the stairs.
“Sorry, I thought that might help.” Emmy looked round.
“Don’t be.” Katie looked at her “You know what she’s like. It’ll work out.” she rubbed at her eyes before she smiled “You look nice, where are you going?”
“Oh, just to play some pool and grab a burger.” Emmy said, “Brooke’s bringing Josh. I won’t be out long.” “Josh…” Katie mused “Double dating?”
“kinda.” Emmy shrugged “He’s a bit of a douche to be honest but, whatever, she seems to like him.” “Bucky doesn’t” Steve snorted.
“Uncle Bucky doesn’t like a lot of people.”  Emmy laughed and Steve chuckled.
“That’s true.” he admitted as she fished in her pocket for the keys to her BMW convertible, a 21st present from them both. He nodded to them and fixed her with a look “Drive safe.” She rolled her eyes and then grinning saluted him “Yes Captain.” He shook his head and snorted as she passed him in the doorway, standing on her toes to kiss his cheek.
“See you both later.” “Have a good time.” Katie called. Steve watched her go before he turned to his wife and stepped into the kitchen. She fell into his open arms and he kissed her head.
“Why don’t you go put Harry down, then have a bath and get in bed?” he suggested “I’ll spend a bit of time with Jamie before I send him up.”
“You sure?” she asked.
“Course.” he dropped a kiss to her head.
“Ok. That sounds great, I won’t lie.”
He smiled as she stepped back, grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and headed out. He followed her with his eyes before he took a deep breath and pushed his worries to the back of the mind and wandered into the den.
“Right son…” he grinned “Fire up the Mario Karts…I’m gonna kick your butt this time.”
“No chance old man!” Jamie grinned, jumping up to switch the game in the console.
*****
An hour and a half or so and 15 round of karts later, Steve was down 6 games to 9, which was an improvement over all. He sighed, tossing the controller down, holding his hands up. “Ok, I yield…”
Jamie grinned “Told ya…”
“Yeah, yeah…” Steve rolled his eyes. “And now I’m telling you, bed time…you can watch TV for half an hour ok?” Jamie let out a little groan but stood up, obeying all the same. He turned off the TV and Stark followed him out of the room. Steve turned off the lights before he closed the door as Jamie turned to him in the hallway. .
“Night dad.” Jamie said, giving him a hug.
“Night bud, don’t forget to say night to your mom too.”
“I won’t.” he nodded, before he bounded off up the stairs.
Steve headed around the house, doing his usual lock down checks before he too made his way up to their room. Katie was sat propped up in bed, looking at her phone.
"You ok?" he asked, walking into their room.
"Yeah..." Katie looked up at Steve, "I'm fine."
"Good." He dropped a kiss to her lips. "What you looking at?"
"I was googling my condition." She shrugged. "Then I decided to change the topic and was looking at names..."
"Any you like?" He asked, seizing the opportunity to talk about something positive to do with their baby. He sat down on the side of the bed, tilting slight so he was facing her, placing one arm over her so his palm was flat on the covers by her hip.
"One...but it's a little old fashioned...but...I really like it" she looked at him a little shyly "Florence"
Steve looked at her for a moment and then then looked to her bump before he peeked back up at her, smiling softly "that was my grandmother's name, on my dad's side."
"I know." She looked at him "I think it’s beautiful. So many things we can shorten it to as well..."
"She was known as Flo." He said, "I never met her...I only know from what Ma told me"
"Well I like Flo or Flossie..." she said, looking down at his hands as her fingers began to play with his.
"Flossie..." Steve played with the name. It was a little unusual, but he liked the way it rolled off his tongue "yeah." He chuckled "Flossie Rogers"
"A 40s movie star name if ever there was one." Katie smiled.
"I think Rori has dibs on the Diva title." He chuckled.
Katie gave a small laugh and looked at where their hands were tangled together again before she glanced up at him, her eyes full of tears. "I'm scared Stevie." She whispered and he sighed, shifting slightly to cup her face with his spare hand.
"I know." He said gently "but you're the strongest person I know. If anyone can get through this, you can."
"I don't feel strong." She whispered
At that Steve took a deep breath and moved, wrapping his arms around her as she lay her head on his shoulder, her face pressing into his neck, her body shaking with silent sobs. He had been waiting for this, the moment she cracked. His hand gently rest on the back of her head, fingers softly tangling in her hair.
"I dont wanna be numb..." she said gently "the thought of them sticking needles into my back...not after..." she gulped and Steve closed his eyes, gently shushing her as he tried to stop his own tears. He knew full well about her fear of needles and anaesthetic which stemmed from the time Hydra had taken her. She had told him all about the fact they had injected her with stuff that left her paralysed from the waist down for hours, just to watch her lose her dignity and control. That was the reason she had refused epidurals for all their kids. The fact she was shouldering this, as well as knowing how she didn't have a choice tore him in two.
“I’ll be with you, the whole time.” he said softly, looking down at her and pressing his forehead to hers. She smiled and nodded, wiping her eyes. “Do you want a drink or anything before I hit the shower?”
“I wouldn’t mind a camomile tea.”  she looked at him.
“Ok.” he dropped a kiss to her head and stood up. He made his way downstairs.
He flipped on the kettle and became that lot in his own thoughts he didn’t hear the security system announce Emmy had come home which was why her voice startled him slightly when she spoke.
"You ok pops?"
Steve spun round to see her watching him carefully as she leaned against the counter, her long hair hung around her heart shaped face, her eyes shining.
“You weren’t out long.” he commented and she shrugged.
“Brooke has an early shift tomorrow. We shot a few games and ate and…well that was it. It was fun.” “Good.” he smiled “Where’s Queens?”
“I dropped him home.” Emmy shrugged and she didn’t need to explain why. She was trying to give him and Katie some peace, which Steve was grateful for.
He took a moment to look at his eldest, taking in not for the first time how pretty she was. With her olive skin, ebony hair and deep brown eyes she looked nothing like him or Katie, which was to be expected as she wasn’t biologically theirs but still, she’d turned into a gorgeous young woman, but what he was most satisfied about was her compassion and drive. She’d aced university, working so hard and was now channelling her skills and her degree into becoming a Child Therapist, working alongside a local Children’s charity which the Stark Relief Fund had set up. Steve had no doubts that she’d end up running the Charity on behalf of SI at some point- she had the drive and passion to do so and she had been adamant since she was 17 that she wanted to work with kids who suffered from abuse, just as she had, using her own experiences to help others.
That he could attribute directly to Katie, and he couldn’t be more proud to do so if he tried.
"I'm fine honey." He said, giving her a small smile and she chuckled.
"Liar."
He sighed "you always call me out on my bullshit. You're like your mother."
She shrugged "There are worse people to be like"
"Very true." He agreed, turning to the kettle as he picked it up and poured hot water over the teabag in the mug.
"Do you think you’ll get any more trouble from Rori?"
“Probably.” Steve licked his lips as he turned back to her. “But we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. Thank you for trying before by the way. I was a bit surprised you remembered all that to be honest”.
"Course I do." She grinned "I was petrified you wouldn't want me anymore."
Steve shook his head "nothing could have been further from the truth"
"I know" she smiled "know what else I remember like yesterday?"
"The time you punched that jerk in the face at school?" Steve teased and she snorted
"Well yeah but that's not what I was gonna say" she shook her head "I remember the day you got punched in the supermarket. You gave me the adoption papers that afternoon. It was Jamie's birthday. Uncle Tony and Auntie Pep gave me my bracelet with my initials."
Steve beamed "Yeah. Despite the punching that was a good day. You know, we'd had those papers for a week before we told you."
Emmy took a deep breath "I don't think I say this enough but I really am grateful you and mom took me in..."
"Em, you don't need to-"
"I know." she cut him off "But I am. You didn't need to, but you did. And all of us, bump included are the luckiest kids around. You're the best parents any kid could wish for."
Steve felt his eyes misting over and he looked at Emmy, shaking his head "Come 'ere." he smiled and she pushed off the counter and walked towards him, stepping into his embrace "I know it might not seem like it at times with the others being as demanding as they are but we do love you with all our hearts Em." he said, pressing a kiss to her head "You'll always be our first baby."
"Stop it!" she spluttered, stepping back to wipe her eyes.
He smiled and cupped her face before he took a deep breath "Anyway, I meant to ask...you and Queens still going to look at that apartment or..."
Emmy shrugged "It’s not important at the moment”
“Em.” Steve sighed “What’s going on with your mom, we don’t want that to impact on your plans.”
“No, I don’t mean that. Well, ok, that is important but, well,  I'm still training at work and Pete's getting to grips with all the R&D department  at SI so we both kinda said if the right place appears then great, if not...well, we can wait."
"Sensible decision." he nodded, "You only just turned 22, and yes, I know..." he held his hand up to cut off what he knew full well was going to be her protest about wanting to be independent "You want to stand on your own two feet but, this is your home and always will be for as long as you want. And if you're really desperate to be away from the chaos in here, well me and your mom had an idea that maybe we could do the Cabin up."
"That's your man cave." she looked at him.
"I can move my art stuff into the attic or the garage." he shrugged "We could use it and make you a little apartment. Just a thought to keep in mind."
"Pete as well?" she asked and Steve looked at her, cocking his head to one side, taking a deep breath as he nodded.
"Queens as well."
She smiled. "Thanks Dad. Maybe we can talk about it once everything has settled down."
Steve nodded "Sounds like a plan."
"You'd know, after all you are the star span-..."
"Yeah yeah." he cut her off, rolling his eyes "And on that note I'm going to bed." He picked up the mug containing Katie's drink and stooped to give Emmy a peck on the cheek. "See you in the morning sweetie."
"No don't stay up too late?" she quipped in a deep voice as he walked past her. He chuckled and looked back over his shoulder.
"As you keep reminding me..." he dropped his chin to level her with a look "you're a grown ass woman now."
At that she let out a laugh and he smiled, before he left the room. Katie was in the en-suite when he got upstairs so he placed the mug down on her nightstand and then headed over to check on the kids. First off he stopped at Rori’s room and smiled as she was in her bed with Sparkles, her pink unicorn teddy clutched to her chest. He crossed the room and placed a kiss on her head, noting the tear tracks were still evident on her face. He felt a pang of guilt once more for his outburst at her earlier in the evening but really, she had deserved it, and he knew that tomorrow was a fresh start. He flicked off her lamp before he then headed over to check on Harry. He was led flat on his back, the covers tangled around his feet, his stuffed giraffe on the floor as always. Pulling the duvet up around his chin he tucked him in, errant giraffe placed by his side he dimmed thes night slightly, leaving it casting soft illuminated stars onto his ceiling, which was apt really as the boy was an absolute star of a kid. Then he headed over to Jamie’s room, the boy already asleep with Stark led by his feet.
“Down.” he instructed the dog, pointing to the basket in the corner of the room. The mutt gave him a reproachful look before he stood up and gave a huff as he jumped down and padded to his bed. Steve knew full well the dog would be back up there the minute he closed the door on his way out, but at least his conscience was clear when Katie moaned about dog hair on Jamie's quilt. As he turned off Jamie’s TV it struck him how it seemed such a pointless thing to be complaining about all things considered.
Turning off the hall lights he made his way back into their bedroom where Katie was watching something on TV.
“They all ok?”
“Fast asleep” he smiled, pulling unbuttoning his plaid shirt before he tossed it into the hamper. He then shed his jeans and headed into the en-suite for a quick shower before he dried off, pulled on a clean pair of boxers and settled down into bed, Katie snuggling up to him, tossing her leg over his and laying her head on his chest. After a moment or so she moved, her hand dropping to her bump.
“You ok?”
“Yeah she’s kicking…” Katie smiled, “That’s the first time I’ve felt her doing that…she’s just been wriggling up until now.” She took Steve’s hand and he eagerly waited until he felt their baby give another little jab and he felt the grin spread across his face as he felt his daughter move for the first time. He shuffled down a little placing both hands either side of her bump.
“Hey Flossie…” he mumbled, pressing a kiss to the curve of Katie’s belly as her hand tangled into his hair.
“So we’re decided on Florence.” Katie chuckled and he peered up at her, smiling.
“Yeah, I think so.” he nodded, his hand feeling another kick and he gave another smile before he shuffled back upwards and lay on his side, looking at his wife .“Love you.” he said, sliding his nose against hers, seeking out her lips for a soft kiss.
“Love you too” she muttered against his mouth, unwilling to break away as his kiss grew a little more urgent. Eventually he pulled back, pressing his forehead to hers, his eyes closed.
“It’ll all be ok.” he muttered softly.
“You trying to convince me or yourself.” Katie asked.
“Bit of both.” he admitted.
She gave him another soft peck before she turned over, reaching for the remote. Flicking off the TV she shuffled back into his arms, her back pressed to his chest as Steve curled his arm around her, his hand cradling her bump and their precious cargo.
*****
November 2029
Things settled down a little after the initial shock of the news had sunk in. Katie was continuing to have regular scans and their baby was fine. Dr Kellet had suggested that they look to do the operation at 35 weeks, the point at which she was confident their baby would be absolutely fine. With that in mind they were given a provisional date of 9th January, subject to the situation remaining stable.
What didn’t improve, however, was Rori. Whilst there were no more outbursts or temper tantrums, her attitude had changed from one of anger to simple apathy. They’d told the kids what they were going to call their daughter, but Rori wasn’t interested. She wouldn’t talk to Katie’s bump, or feel it like the other kids did, she was just completely and utterly indifferent to the entire situation. And whilst it was better in some ways than her shouting and screaming, Steve could see it was starting to get to Katie which was why he had taken Rori out for the day to give Katie a bit of time where she didn’t have to worry or deal with her, and hopefully try to get the little girl to open up a bit more. She still hadn’t admitted to either of them what she was feeling and every time they tried to talk to her she simply changed the subject.
He’d taken her to the Natural History Museum in Manhattan, treating her to a ride on the subway which always fascinated her. They’d had a lovely afternoon, even if it had been a little cold outside, and she had enthusiastically looked at the exhibits on the dinosaurs and animals, her little face lighting up as she chatted away and completed the activity booklet she had been handed on their way in, tracking all the clues as they went.
There had been no mention of the baby, at all, and as they walked around in the gift shop, Rori browsing, Steve decided to raise it and see if she would talk to him and open up now they were alone and away from the house.
"Shall we pick something for Florence, ready for when she is born?" he asked her as she examined a shelf full of stuffed animals.
Rori looked at her dad and averted her eyes "if you want..."
“Don’t you want?"
She shrugged
“Ok..." Steve sighed, knowing when he was beat. “Come on then, let’s go home.”
Rori turned her eyes to his before he looked at the floor, her sneakers scuffing on the tiles of the gift shop. "I'm sorry..." She whispered, her lower lip wobbling.
“What for?” Steve asked, taking a deep breath as he crouched down and gently brushed her hair out of her eyes, one of his hands gently resting along her rib cage.
“Being mean.”
“You’re not being mean.” he said gently, which was true. She wasn’t. “You’re sad though. I can tell.”
She shrugged again, still avoiding his eyes.
"Why does the baby upset you so much Princess?" He pressed gently. She looked at him, her eyes watering.
"Coz she's gonna take you and momma away from me..."
"Oh Rori..." Steve sighed as her tears trickled down her face. Finally hearing her admit it out-loud meant he could confront it head on, give her the direct re-assurance she needed. "I told you already, that's not gonna happen. Me and momma love you and that's not gonna change." She sniffled as he wiped her tears away with his thumbs. "Harry was born after you, did he take us away from you?"
"No." She sniffled.
"So why would the new baby be any different?"
"Coz she's gonna be your new princess. I'm not gonna be special anymore."
Steve felt his heart breaking as Rori began to sob.
"Ok..." he said, picking her up and carrying her out of the shop into the large foyer. She pressed her face into his neck and he gently rubbed her back as she cried whilst he walked them over to a bench at the side of the room where he sat silently with her, gently rocking her as she cried, Katie's words from a few weeks ago echoing in his head.
"She's jealous Steve. And we only have ourselves to blame."
As much as Katie had said “we” she may as well have said “you”. Rori had been his little princess since the day they had found out they were having a girl, and Steve knew he indulged her, because he fucking loved her. He loved her craziness, her sassiness, the way she gave him so much back chat and general attitude...even if it did drive him mad. But most of all he adored the way she looked just like Katie and had inherited her mother's tactile nature. She was always the first to reach him when he got home from work, racing down the hall to fling herself at him. She insisted on sitting on his knee at night as they watched TV, she would crawl into his and Katie's bed between them on a Sunday morning for a cuddle before they got up. He was the one she went to when she had fallen over, unless he was out, and then Katie would suffice but he would get the full sympathy play when he got home. It was the exact role reversal to their two boys who sought Katie out for their bumps and scrapes but came to him for the fun and games. Both parents gave them all different things, which was how it was supposed to be and fuck, Rori would always be his little girl, as would Flossie, and a new baby sister should be filling her heart with love not worry and sadness. As he sat still, she hiccupped slightly, he sobs growing quieter and he pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
"I'm gonna tell you something now sweetheart." He said as she tightened the grip her little hands had on his jacket as he continued to gently rock her to and fro "you have no idea how special you are to me and your momma. You know we lost you once..."
"Lost me?" Rori sniffed "how?"
"Remember we told you about the bad man that made Uncle Bucky and Uncle Sam go away...and how your Uncle Tony died with Natasha to bring them back?"
She nodded
"Well when he sent all those people away, you were in your momma's tummy and he made you go away too. We were so upset when we found out."
"But I came back?" She asked, her green eyes wide
"You sure did. You were our little magic baby" He smiled "And when you were born we were so happy to finally meet you because we had waited so long, Rori. And I remember thinking when I held his for the first time how beautiful and perfect you were."
"So I am special?"
"Of course you are" he nodded "I mean how can you not be? Your birthday is the same as your Uncle Tony's and you're named after 2 other very special girls." He smiled as she glanced down at her hands which were now playing with the buttons on his shirt. "Your nanna Sarah and Natasha."
"And Princess Aurora" she looked at him.
"And Princess Aurora" he nodded.
"And I look like Momma." Rori nodded back to him, "which makes me pretty too right Daddy?"
"Absolutely." Steve smiled "your momma is the prettiest woman in the world."
Rori looked at him for a moment before she smiled "Can we go back to the shop please Daddy? I want to get the baby something now."
Steve smiled. "Sure, come on."
She hopped off his lap and they headed back inside to the store, her little hand in his and she led him over to the soft toy section, her eyes roaming the shelves, brow furrowed in concentration.
"What should we get?" She asked, looking up at Steve.
"You pick." He said, looking down at her. "I trust you. You are a princess after all so you know what princesses like..."
She contemplated his words before she glanced back at the shelves, scanning the plush toys. Steve stood patiently before she tugged on his hand and pointed to a zebra which sat on the shelf in her eye-line.
"That one." She said firmly
"Sure?" He asked and she nodded.
"Zebras are like ponies daddy." She said "and all princesses should have a pony"
"Alright. You wanna grab it?" He looked down at her, his spare hand gently cupping her cheek.
She nodded and turned back, plucking one down off the shelf.
"Do you want one?"
"No, I have a Sparkles" she shrugged "Unicorns are much better."
Steve looked at her for a moment, and decided to let her have that little victory.
“I think we should call her Rolfina.” Rori said, handing it to him.
“Rolfina?” he frowned “Where on earth did you hear that?” “Dur, it’s the zebra in Zootopia.” she said and Steve rolled his eyes.
“Course it is.” he mumbled, heading to the till to pay.
***** “Momma!” Rori burst into the living room “Look…”
She held out the toy zebra as she made her way over to where Katie was sat, tapping at her laptop
“Wow!” she smiled, setting the computer down onto the coffee table. “Did you have a nice time?” “Yeah. I did the activity book and we did the treasure hunt and then we bought this…” she paused and Steve leaned in the doorway, bracing himself for her to clam up again but she continued, albeit her voice a little softer “…its for the baby.” Katie hid her shock well, Steve had to give his wife credit.
“She’ll love it.” Katie smiled “You can put it in her room if you like?”
Rori nodded and then hesitated before she climbed up onto the sofa and wrapped her arms around her Mother’s neck. Katie hugged her back and looked at Steve who flashed her a wink as he pushed off the door frame.
“Where are the boys?” “Playing lego in the den.” Katie smiled as Rori pulled back slightly.
“Can I say hi to the baby?” she asked shyly and Katie nodded.
“Of course you can.” Rori wriggled down a little, her cheek pressing to Katie’s bump over her t-shirt. She took a deep breath and spoke in a soft voice. “Hi Flossie…” There was a second pause and Katie felt a jab in her belly and Rori’s head flew up as her eyes widened and she squealed. “Momma she moved!”
“That’s because she heard you baby.” Katie smiled, thanking her lucky stars that Flossie had chosen that exact moment to give a harsh boot. Steve felt his heart swell as he watched Rori return her hands to Katie’s stomach.
“She can hear me?”
“Yeah, she can hear you all.” “So…” Rori sat up a little, her eyes downcast “Will she have heard me say those nasty things when I said I hated her?”
“And she will have also heard you say sorry.” Steve said, sitting down next to her. He wasn’t even going to try to explain that the baby wouldn’t be able to understand a word of what Rori was saying.
“And she knows its me?” Rori asked “For sure?” “For sure.” Rori gave a grin and jumped down running into the hallway.
“Hey losers!” she shouted, heading towards the den “I just talked to the baby and she listened and knows me coz she moved…” Whatever sarcastic reply Jamie shot back died as the door to the den shut and Katie looked at Steve.
“Ok, who is she and where’ the real Diva?” “What can I say, I just have that magic way with my girls…” he grinned. “Hmmm, sure you do.” Katie looked at him and he smiled, leaning over to give her a kiss.
“And maybe Rolfina had something to do with it.” he grinned, picking up the stuffed Zebra.

Hey, I'm doing good too. Just normal amounts of stressful stuff right now. Just moved to a country I've never been to before but can't complain, things are not as hard as the last time I did this so. Thanks for asking! Yeah, I saw you posting about some pretty scary health issues before, I'm glad you came out of that alive and hope you're healthier now!
The nerve some people have! Haha I know I would be pissed if people were questioning my intelligence like that especially after a couple of drinks in haha. Though I do like taunting people when I play group games, I'll be like "don't need to try that hard guys, you're gonna lose anyway" just to mess with them or just call people sore losers if they accuse me of cheating haha (they're probably right on the accusations tho). People get real mad sometimes it's kinda funny. 😂
Omg literally laughed out loud reading this! Hahaha, how did you manage to fall over a road sign then end up in a ditch? lol omg hope you didn't get hurt too bad 😂 I was trying to downplay my drunken escapades but since you shared yours I should tell you my worst one:
I was at this summer street party at night and got drunk on something made out of tropical herbs and cachaça (which is about 48% alcohol), drank 3 and a half bottles of that like it was apple juice, made friends with a bunch of strangers in a bathroom queue (who tried to talk to me weeks later but I had no idea who they were), had to be held by my best friend while I peed (mostly missing the toilet), fell in the middle of the street and scraped my knee, threatened this boy who was helping me walk and told him not to try anything funny or I would beat him up, then dragged my friends to the beach and left them shortly after to go make out with my ex, came back with lipstick all over my mouth and chin and when my friends asked what I was doing I said I was just talking to my ex and they were like NO YOU WERE NOT, hahaha then I kissed all my girl friends on a dare and we danced under the full moon, then I told my best friend I had to puke so she took me to the ocean but I changed my mind and happened to step on a dead turtle on the way back and started crying bc of it, but last month my best friend told me it was a rock I had stepped on (I believed it was a dead turtle for 7 years!). Had the worst hangover of my life the next day. ✌️✨
Ah I'm happy you liked it! I've never listened to Six musical before but it sounds fun! I can see why you like it haha made me want to dance around my apartment 💃. And hey if liking musicals is your thing then it's great, I'm sure Hozier will understand if he's not your top artist of the year. 😋 Here's my "damie" Pinterest board if you or anyone else wants to check it out, totally recommend making one if you're a visual person like me!
https://pin.it/UcHVlkq
Oh I could talk about Dani and Jamie forever I think. I love the beast in the jungle speech too and it's so painful to watch, VP delivered that beautifully, but I have to admit I'm always a crying mess from episode 1 when older Jamie starts reciting that song about being sad while waiting for her lover to return, this show is fucking cruel I hate it and love it at the same time hahaha. Omg your mom 😂 but I mean it's truly an honor to be compared to someone like Dani, no? She's really great even if she needs a little help haha (don't we all).
Aaah you're amazing! Thank you so much, I'll read this pirate AU soon!
I used to draw a lot, really loved doing it when I was a kid as I said before, and all throughout adulthood too but I haven't done that in almost a year now bc I've got a bit of a case of burnout I guess, it just takes a lot of effort to do it when it shouldn't be like that at all. I used to do fanart too, for other fandoms. Even made one for Dani x Jamie but ended up not liking how it turned out haha. I've got a lot of respect for writers and fanfic writers also! Yall can make words make sense in really interesting and beautiful ways, build worlds so enthralling I can see them vividly in my head. Writing is such an incredibly fascinating skill to have! And I guess the most important thing is that we enjoy doing these things right? Even if we think we're not particularly good at it.
Anyway, have a lovely weekend! 👋✨
Good I'm glad you're doing great but sorry you're dealing with stressful stuff!! Hope living in a new country goes well for you I'm so jealous that you've lived in different countries I'd love to live somewhere else even if just for s few years!! Awwh thank you so much I definitely came out of it alive and am feeling so much better now thank you I mean I do some pretty ditzy things so when people say it to me it's pretty deserved sometimes, I'm secretly smart and people just don't expect it so I never mind too much haha I might have to start saying the things that you do and just taunting them over it I mean, I usually do win even when they make me answer different questions so I will definitely have to start saying things like that to them Haha I love that you're just like "yeah they're probably right in their accusations" I agree seeing how mad some people get over games and stuff is funny (it's me I'm people I hate loosing games depending on what it is and I am very competitive) So it was very dark and all we had for light was my roommates flashlight on her phone but while we were walking home a friend of ours that lived else where kept texting her to make sure we were still safe (my phone as dead at this point) so while she was texting him her flashlight was facing down and someone had moved this road sign to the footpath and it was on that sits on the floor so while I couldn't see it I walked into it and fell over it but while I feel I grabbed hold of it and flipped with it and fell in a ditch with it on top of me... I was fine and was just laid laughing while my friend looked down at me and in the most northern accent ever just said "get up you dickhead." and helped me off of the floor and then asked if I was okay... and I was so it was all good!! Haha 😂 I love this drunken story that sounds like one hell of a night and is a roller coaster from start to finish!! I'm sorry you thought you had stood on a dead turtle for 7 years though, someone really should've told you that it was just a rock!! But that sounds like my kind of night!! I love nights like that... stories that will last a life time... the only down side is the hangover... luckily I have only ever had one hang over in my life and it wasn't the morning after the road sign fiasco... I felt surprisingly good the morning after that haha 😂 It's such a good musical it's about Henry VIII wives and I just love everything to do with his wives and that musical is so much fun and actually gives a little insight to the lives the six Tudor queens had away from Henry and with him because at school we're mainly just taught about him which sucks!! I loved the Hozier song and am definitely gonna have to listen to more of his stuff!! I love musicals so much I mainly listen to musical soundtracks at the minute- usually, Legally Blonde and Six on repeat haha 😂 Ooo thank you I will definitely check out this Pinterest board thanks for sending it to me!! I could talk about them forever too... since watching Bly Manor my niece has been asking me so many questions about it and I am more than happy to talk to her about it haha!! The beast in the jungle speech just breaks my heart every time I relate to it so much and VP just delivers it so beautifully!! Oh yeah now I know at the beginning that it's older Jamie I am just a wreck the whole show is just so beautiful and heart breaking at the same time I LOVE IT!! Even though it makes me sob- I keep putting myself through it!! I mean, yeah I was happy that she said it Dani is great but it was the way she said it... my mum can be something else sometimes... she said she thought Dani was like me the first time she does the accent when she says "I've fallen quite in love with London" because I just randomly do accents a lot too but it was the way she was like "She needs help... but I like her she reminds me of you" I was just like... "Should I go get help?" I still don't know the answer to my question about if I need help or not but I mean I probably do need it You're welcome I really hope you like it!! It's a
great fic I love it!! Yeah I get that if stuff starts taking too much effort and burns you out you're not gonna wanna keep doing it so it's understandable that you stopped!! I think fan art is great and I really would love to be able to do it myself but I just don't have the skill it takes!! Awwh it's a shame you didn't like the Dani x Jamie one you did I would've loved to have seen it!! Honestly there are so many talented writers out there and when I read their fics I am just in awe of the worlds they have built and the stories they have created we are so blessed in this fandom to have so many amazing writers and so many amazing fics out there Oh yeah definitely its important to enjoy what you do!! I know I love writing and love writing fics for Dani and Jamie so I think I'll be doing it for a while even if I'm not great at it haha Awwh thank you very much I hope you have a great weekend too!! ☺️

Black Friday Reaction
Okay so I’ll be live tweeting Black Friday but none of it will have any sense to it but it’ll just be my reactions
1. The Paul thing is really bothering me
2. I really love the mention of the other characters
3. If Jane is mention is the story about the mom mentioned some more
4. Is the delivery man ted (cause he’s also a sleazeball
5. It’s weird seeing Cory not play a pure bean
6. I love California MIA
7. The little sister (Im sorry I’m bad at names) I self project as autistic and she something else idk
8. Did anyone else noticed Robert’s Australian accent come out?
9. Like I said this is out of order so yeah but I personally think the second song in the show was very shocking as I’m not used to very serious starkid songs
10. When Robert gestures smoking i think its lowkey a refrence to the smoke club
11. I have a crush on lex
12. I love Lauren’s charecter so much
13. I love the name linda becuase it could be like a karen without using that name
14. Not to get poltical but i choose to belive they made an antivax joke
15. Also the marvel nerd in me loves the name becky barnes
16. I know its probaly not on purpose but joeys charecters costume in line looks like the homeless guy’s one
17. Jaimey is great as always
18. The conversation is so cringe i love it
19. I kinda hope torture porn is a fanfic refrence (i know most people would want me to say spies are forever but nope)
20. I love Lauren but shouldnt her accent be included when she sings
21. I love Jeff’s reaction
22. I may get some hate for this but what was bothering me in tgwdlm and i notice in starkid is lack of fan comments in the captions
23. As a theatre fan i love the toy zone song (i am not sure if thats the right name) espcially the do wop becuase it reminds me of older musicals
24. Also since i watched tgwdlm and black friday a day apart its weird to come from songs happening because they are infected to songs happening cause its a musical
25. i love the love the line we are not relaibly to anyone who dies becuase they clearly show in the trailer that someone will die (this is not a spoiler if you watch the trailer for Black Friday)
26. I love Corey but when he dances i notice a bulge (i am not a perv he makes it very obvious)
27. So i rewinded it to make sure i wanst going crazy and realized something as lex says the pepper spray line. She would be good as janis ian
28. I love the touch money part its so cute even if its not supposed to be
29. Jaime plays a perv really well
30. I love Jon’s charecter its hilarious
31. Also i love jon and lauren interactions so it was cool seeing them together not as paul and emma
32. I love seeing more of Jon because although hes reaally good at playing paul paul doesnt have any flavor and its cool seeing jon do something diffrent
33. Jeff’s fuck you
34. Okay I was right it was the homeless guy and i bet the money is paul’s money
35. And this is not a sterotpye as i am jewish myself but i bet Laurens charecter is jewish
36. Its sad that the price thing is true
37. So i am a theatre fan and do not watch got but that music kinda reminds me of got
38. Cant tell if jeff’s charecter is gay and a perv or just a perv (i realzie this could be mmisinterpreted as homophobic i just mean to say that jamie’s charecter just seems like a full out perv where as i cant tell with jeff’s)
39. Obviously you shouldnt be that insane but i do like the lines about how you are in charge of life and dont care about what others think. its goood life advice
39. Looks like Paul’s boss got his wish
40. They are all idiots for holding up the doll when everyone wants to get it
41. Corey’s charecter is like shit, money isnt that imporant
42. Becky why are you a part of this you have moral high ground (yes i am ignorning the fact that cast usually join in dance numbers even if their charecter isnt a part of it)
43. Shouldnt tom get ptsd (see above)
44. Lex you already have one (see above)
45. So i may be overthinking things but how curt says never should settle is in the tune of spies are forever
46. Is it just me or did anyone else notice when the security guard comes in the tune of show me your hands comes in
47. I dont know why but i do love soft bullies because hes like hey im punching you but only for the kid
48. Some may say its schizo or something hannah has but its anxiery or something from how shes expressing it
49. I feel like hannah has a superpower and can tell whats happening
50. Maybe webby is actually wiggly
51. Baby (both hannah and robert)
52. Please tell me my babies not dead
53. Jon’s eee is adorable and silly
54. Wait hes alive
55. Wait no hes dead, im sad liek starkid is supposed to be fun and happy this is the darkest star kid yet. Even oregon deaths were silly
56. I love starkid but this is making me anxious i cant tell if its good anxious or bad anxious
57. Also i relate to the black and white thing not fully but liek whenever i dont feel well sometimes my brain is overstimulating but only in my head its very hard to explain 
58. Also i think sometimes kids on the spectrum and im not an expert but i do have it kind of make a friend in their head and i do that too sometimes just to give me advice
59. Also i hope they dont get rid of the black and white as sometimes people go more crazy without the figurative voice in their head
60. Like i said this is going to be random order so i like that emma adopted paul;s Okay and no im not making a tfios refrence
61. Poor Tim
62. Poor becky but even less

could you please do a headcannon of the Hawthorne brothers but like with a younger sister? idk I think that would be really cute.
the hawthorne brothers if they had a younger sister head canons
hope you like these <3! (not proof read, again - literally none of my posts are)
nash would most definitely teach her how to ride horses
he'd also buy her cowboy hats and cowboy boots
when she got her first boyfriend, nash hired a PI to learn everything there is to learn about him. she found out and got really mad at nash. she told him that she could take care of herself and she didn't someone else to do it. she got so mad nash actually got scared.
jameson and her love taking trips together. they've been to like every place in europe bc they love it sm (grayson tags along sometimes and takes pictures of places, jameson, and the younger sister).
this girl is literally so obsessed with avery, max, and libby. she's so happy she has girl friends.
once, there was this guy at school who was really creepy and was kinda scaring her and the four of them went behind her back and scared the living shit out of him (they would send him creepy messages, call and threaten him, would follow him home, etc). she got mad (again) bc she's so tired of men thinking she isn't capable of taking care of herself.
xander and her love hanging out and doing face masks, make up, etc. they're always gossiping.
grayson taught her how to take photos bc she wanted to learn.
she helped nash plan the proposal
grayson feels most comfortable venting to her
hawthorne fans literally love her sm. they love her more than the brothers.
whenever she gets sick, the four brothers are always doting on her (she pretends to hate it but she actually loves it)
one time, this guy tried to kiss her without her consent and grayson beat the shit out of him. the guy managed to get in a few punches though. that was the one of the only times she'd ever seen him look less than perfect.
when they were younger, jameson loved scaring her. he'd creep up behind her, plant little traps in her room etc. when she became old enough, she started doing the same. to him.
she lovessss horror movies. she's always forcing xander to watch some with her (xander is secretly scared of them and has nightmares.
when she was younger, she thought there were monsters in her closet, so she always got nash and grayson to check it before she went to bed.
when she couldn't sleep, she'd either head to grayson or jameson's room.
she was a hugeee disney princess fan growing up.
for halloween, she'd always get jamie to dress up as a disney princess while she dressed up as a knight (one time, she got grayson to dress up as a princess)
jamie used to read her bed time stories
when tobias would say smth shitty to her (like when he'd tell jamie he wasn't as incredible as his brothers), the four of them would rebel against tobias (one time they destroyed all of his important papers)
she's a romance book lover but she prefers fantasy (preferably with a romance sub plot)
grayson takes her book shopping (he reads classical books)
whenever she's sad, jamie cheers her up by taking her on walks or watching a movie with her (basically just simple things that show that he cares, and that he's there for her)
she lovesssss coffee (like gigi). her and gigi are best friends and can't go a day without seeing each other (grayson is exhausted)
she loves thrifting her own clothes. she sometimes thrifts some clothes for her brothers.
she is always the best dressed at galas/events. fans have fan pages dedicated to her outfits and stuff.
this one time, a fan commented on one of her post saying that she was literally in love with her. that commenter received hate comments like (omg you're weird, that's so embarrassing, etc), the younger sister destroyed the haters and invited her to meet her irl. they're now really close friends. (that fan really loves robotics and loves spending time with xander, he loves to spend time with her too)
she's an overthinker. she gets extremely anxious. nash and jamie are always trying to comfort her (nash by reassuring her verbally, and jamie by taking her out on excursions and stuff).
she loves dancing in the rain (sometimes gray joins her)
she has a very subtle southern accent that she got from nash.
her father is a wanted criminal (idk why)

1ST RULE: tag 9 muses you would like to know better. 2ND RULE: BOLD the statements that are true for your muse.
Tagged by: @same-stages-different-players​
Tagging: I’m tennis bossing this right back at you @same-stages-different-players​ and I request Cull and also Rep in @siblings-a-fixin​, @kitterahsdollhouse​ (whichever muse), @askthegreenknight​, and @monokuro-adventures​ (also whichever muse) and whoever else wants to steal
MUSE:  *cries* Uh.... Let’s do Song officially but I’ll sneak in the other boys in the notes FC: I personally find faceclaims weird? Here have my avatar of him (you can’t see his pretty green eyes but oh well)
Tumblr media
OCCUPATION: High school senior by day, musical hero also by day because time travel 
(Sky, Time, Light, and Green were knights, Mini was a blacksmith, Quarters was in Search and Rescue, Wind did whatever the hell he wanted, Sparky was an engineer, Twilight was a stay-at-home dad, and Brown did whatever got him to the next day)
AGE: Ha. Let’s go with 18 (time travel’s a bitch, even he doesn’t know how old he is anymore)

SEXUALITY: straight. you could call him “Zelda-sexual” because she’s really the only girl he’s been interested in.
(Green and co are ace and Time at least is bi. It ultimately doesn’t matter much because every single one of these idiots is either the “fell in love so gradually they had no idea it had even happened” or “struck by lightning love at first sight” type, so there was little to no dating around before getting married)

i have or have had braces
personality:
i love meeting new people (all the boys are pretty friendly, but Quarters, Wind, and Sparky are the real extroverts)
people tell me that i’m funny (Song and Time both have an unfortunate love of puns, Quarters and Red are pretty goofy, Wind’s sassy side has some real gems)
helping others with their problems is a big priority for me (It’s Link they’re practically the textbook definition of solving other people’s problems)
i enjoy physical challenges (they all do)
i enjoy mental challenges (they also all do, which is good because the dungeons are a doozy sometimes)
i’m playfully rude with people i know well (Time, Wind, Green, and Blue are)
i started saying something ironically and now i can’t stop saying it
there is something i would change about my personality

i can play an instrument HAHAHA HIS NICKNAME IS SONG FOR A REASON (Sky, Mini, Time, Sparky, and Light can play instruments as well)
i can do over 30 pushups without stopping (ya true of everyone)
i’m a fast runner (Quarters is pretty quick, Sky also but he has lousy stamina)
i can draw well  (Brown and Mini)

i have a crush on a celebrity
i have a crush on someone i know
i have been in at least 3 relationships (just Light actually)
i have never been in a relationship (just Green and co. They don’t really care for the romance thing)

Imagine Jared taking a day off for you
Your alarm just goes off and you already know that it’s gonna be a hard day. Just like those before : work is doing verry hard, your family is too complainant, and , the cherry on the cake , your best friend , the one you know for more than 10 years , the one you share everything with , the one that was your bridesmaid and the one you always trust , betrayed you. It’s a bad feeling you never had and it hurt you more than excepted. The only good thing in your life at this moment is Jared. He give you so much , you don’t know how you’ll be right now without his support and love . But in fact , in that moment : he’s not in bed with you. He is already working , as usual. You’re not mad at all with him because of this : you know he had to.
So you woke up, trying to stay positive and know that there is verry worst situation : you’re healthy, you got a home , a job ( even if it’s verry hard those day) , a family ( even if yours is not always perfect , Jared’s mother and brother are so supporting) and most important, a husband that love and help you no matter what.
You put your clothes for the days on , little touch of make up and you go for your breakfast in the kitchen. You make your tea thinking about how you gonna manage that day without be in a bad mood. You hate this . You probably was thinking too much because you didn’t hear Jared coming from the Lab and you jump when you feel his arm around your waist.
«Morning babe...  Did I scared you ? » he told you with a sweet smile and a kiss on your hair.
You smiled him back « kinda . I did not expect see you right now . But please , feel free to scared me like this all day long! I’m happy to see you no matter if you scared me or not ! »
« I’m sorry I don’t wake up you this morning... I really had to work in the lab with Jamie and Stevie... and you was sleeping so deep... and I ... I know you need rest those days so ... you’re not mad right ? »
« Should I ? » then look at him without talking and turn around so you can face him and keep his arm around you. He was about to talk when you cut him « of course I’m not mad Jared » you smile en put a light kiss on his lips. « You are the only one I’m not mad at by the way so relax baby » . You laugh but it was more a nervous laugh than a real one.
« Hey ... look at me » Jared take your face between his hand « you’re not the bad one in all this ... craziness happing to you ok ? I’ll be mad too if I was you ... actually I’m mad for you ! But don’t me bad with yourself ok ? » « I know Jared ... I know you’re right ... but I can’t help ... I’m like ok ... all of this is happening and I’m not able to control myself ... » you instantly feel tears coming « ... see ! Just the fact to talk about it and I cry like a baby ... I shouldn’t ! » « Y/N it’s ok to cry ... important is just to not get lost with anger and sadness... I’m sure it’s gonna be ok with anger but ... I feel you sad... and I don’t know how to help. ». His words make you cry even more « please Jared don’t ! You do everything perfectly ! You’re my rock. If you wasn’t here, I’ll probably still in bed all day long listening sad music , in the dark , eating a all Nutella jar , then complaining about the fact that I eat it, not working so probably being in trouble ... but thanks to you I still standing ! But , I feel guilty know because you feel guilty... ». He smile to you and give you the warmest hug you never get in your life « I don’t know if you just compare me to a Nutella Jar but ... it’s verry sweet » « come on Leto you perfectly get the point » you answer with a smile. « I get it ... » he smile you back and kiss you with all of his love. At this moment you hear your phone bell, and know that it will ruine the moment . Jared and you look each other knowing too. You take the phone , it was your best friend. Or at least , ex best friend. When you see the name on the screen you look at Jared that immediately take your free hand. You take a deep breathe and take the call .
The talk was verry animated and verry hurting. You was crying during the all conversation .But it was definitely clear : your friendship was over. Too much hurt, too much lies , too much mistake.
« Look Y/F/N I have to end the call ... I’m gonna be late at work and I don’t think I should ... especially because of you and all the thing that happen between you and me so... » it was too much for you. You was about to sob, your eyes was bloody red, your makeup ruined and you was feeling totally empty. You was about to finish your sentence when Jared take your phone and talk to her : « it’s Jared ... listen, your issue is not of my business, but it’s my wife ... and you and this conversation make her sick... » his voice was calm but cold. « So now I’m gonna end the call. If you have Y/N stuffs, I’ll send you an assistant then you can give her back. If she get some of your stuffs , my assistant will give it back to you don’t worry about it... » you can help but put your face on Jared chest and keep crying , holding him with all the force than you still have. Jared instinctively put his arm around you. He end the call and put your phone on the table close to both of you.
« Listen baby ... I don’t know if you are able to go to work today... look at you ... » « No ! No Jared ! I can’t do this » you already push him away and take a tissue and fixing your makeup as much you can. « I have to go to work . First they need me, especially those days , and I need to keep my brain concentrate on something » « baby I know you’re strong but you just need a little bit rest ... because you’re human and we all get those moment ! It’s ok! » « you’re verry funny Jared ... really ... who continue to work whatever he is sick or tired or piss even at 2 in the morning ? Who wake up every day even if he sleep 3 hours by night ? Who tour the world with an infection ? Me ? » « babe ... » « no ! I’ll go to work ! I’m not sick ! » « you’re tired ! » « thank you for the compliment ... anyway ...» Jared was about to answer you when you cut him with a quick kiss then you run into the bathroom trying to fix the mess you look like as quick as you can because you really don’t want to be late at work. You go back in the kitchen for grabbing your phone before leaving . Jared was still there , a sad look on his face.
« Come one Jared please ... don’t make it worst... I wasn’t angry because of you , you know it baby ... it’s just ... you know how it feel to need to work... and I know I look tired so I wasn’t really mad ... come one ... give me a smile Hubby ». He stand up from the chair he was sitting on and look at you. He give you a smile but there was something strange on it. He takes your hand and put a kiss on it. Still not talking . « What ?! » You ask him « you... you got a text ... and ... I read it. » « come one it’s ok you can read my text I don’t care relax » you say rolling your eyes «  I didn’t mean to read it , it was just on screen you know and... » « it’s ok Jared . Really . I understand » you answer him with a smile taking your phone at the same time, about to read the text he was talking about « it’s a text from your mother ... she ... » you read the text at the same time that he talk  « she say they will not come for my birthday...» you say cutting him in his sentence.
This was too much. Your family is not perfect , but you still love your family. You still love your mother, father , sister , brothers ... you’re not always agreed with them but they still your family. Since you decide to leave Europe and get married with Jared , they became a little bit distant with you , thinking that you wanted running from them . But it wasn’t the case at all. That’s why you invited them all for your birthday in California. You send them the plane tickets and explain them how much you was missing them. In the moment they thank you and told you that they’ll be there with pleasure but today, 3 days before your birthday, they decline. This was too much for you.
You don’t know really why, you just put the phone back on the table and decide to sit on the floor instead of the chair. You push your bag away and take your face between your hands . Too tired for crying. You just still here in silence. You don’t even notice Jared who was now sitting behind you, his strong arms on around your waist, his face resting on your shoulder. He was silent too. When you notice him , you turn your face to him and try to talk but you don’t even know what to say.
« Shhhhh... it’s ok baby ... it’s ok ... you’re not alone . I’m here... and let me be clear , nobody gonna ruined your birthday. I know you wanted to make a big dinner with your family... but guess what , this is exactly what gonna happen ... you gonna celebrate it with me, my mom and my brother ... because we are your family too and we’ll never let you down. Do you hear me ? » he say in an whisper. His words make you cry the last tears your body was able to made, you turn around and don’t know how you manage , but now , both of you was laying on the floor of your kitchen, you on the top of Jared body and Jared slowly caressing your head and back. After a moment you let out a sight and say « shit ... I’m definitely late ... ».
Jared sit up not letting you go and say « yeah ... I think it’s the good moment for calling your boss and telling him that you’re not gonna come to work today . If you don’t do it I’ll call him... do you hear me. ». You was about to protest but he was right. If you go to work today, it will be a hell . You’re not able to do anything today.
« Ok ... you win ... I take a day off ... » you told him and instinctively put your face on his neck.
« Good girl ... » he hold you and manage for making you both standing up. He give you your phone so you can call your boss. You did it.
Your boss wasn’t really happy about it , but he get it and told you that it was ok. When you end the call you saw Jared put his own phone in a box, then take your phone, make it in silence mode and put it in the same box.
« What the hell are you doing Jared ? » « this is the rule for today : no phone. » « what?! I know I’m crying a lot but it doesn’t mean I’m a teenager give me my phone back ! » « No way ! If you keep your phone you gonna call your mom, your ex best friend , your boss ... I don’t want it ... » « and what if I need something ?! » « you get everything you need at home! » « what if need help ?! » « who say you gonna be alone ? » « no, no , no ... I’m ok to take a day off but there is no way that one of your assistant gonna stay with me all day long .. they’re all verry sweet but ...

How did this happen? - Part 4
Word count: 2,973
Players: Tyler Seguin, Alexander Radulov, Jamie Benn
Authors note: Yay part 4!! This series is really fun to write! The first two sections of this is going to be in the perspective of Brooke but the third part is going to be in Ashlyn's perspective. When I write in Brooke's perspective I use the word you a lot so it can read like an imagine (even though this is more of a fanfic since all of these people actually exist lol) but when I write in the perspective of any other character (like Tyler, Ashlyn, or Radulov) I will use the word "I" because I want their parts to feel more like the fanfic and like its looking into their POV. I hope that makes sense haha! 
**Update* I have changed the format of this series (I kinda changed it half way through while writing but never went back to fix the first 4 or 5 parts) so all of the above doesn’t really count anymore but I wanted to keep it there and just cross it out lol. So now this whole story is in the first person view and uses I (instead of you, liked I have used for my series/one shots that are in the format of an imagine) <3
Hope you all enjoy!
Part 1    Part 2    Part 3    Part 5
(Brooke’s POV)
Over the next few days Ashlyn and I spent a lot of time hanging out with the boys, going out to lunch, seeing a movie, and going to the last home game before they left for their away games. Alexander and Ashlyn had already left for the restaurant after the game was over but Tyler had got caught up with the media so I just hung out in the doorway and watched him. They had lost this game sadly but he still seemed to be in a pretty good mood anyways which I was happy about.
"Excuse me," I heard a voice behind me say.
"Oh I'm sorry," I said as I got out of the way, turning to see that it was Jamie.
"Oh hey Brooke," Jamie smiled as he walked over to grab his stuff.
"Hey Jamie, great goal tonight!"
"Oh thank you," he smiled. "You guys going to the restaurant after he's done?"
"Yeah we'll be there," I smiled.
He walked over to me and got close so he could whisper. "Thank you for coming into his life Brooke. I've seen a difference in his attitude lately. Plus its nice that you're a real girl and not one of those air heads that usually hangs around," he laughed softly and smiled at me.
"Thanks Jamie that means a lot. But I didn't really do anything."
"You didn't have to. Your personality does it for you," he said placing his hand on my shoulder for a moment as he walked by me.
I turned back to watch Tyler as he still was talking to the media. He kept looking over at me which was keeping a smile on his face. I blushed a bit and was glad that the media people didn't notice or ask any questions.
After another minute he finished up with them and walked away, grabbing his bag from off the floor at my feet.
"Ready?" He smiled.
"Yeah," I responded as I followed him out.
Tyler wrapped his free arm around my shoulder and walked with me down the hallway towards the staff parking lot. I sighed wishing that this wasn't potentially the last time this was going to happen. He noticed the change in my demeanor and looked down at me.
"You ok Brooke?" he asked softly.
I looked up at him, being pulled from your thoughts by his voice, and smiled softly. "Yeah I'm ok. I'm just sad I have to go home soon is all."
"Oh! I've been meaning to tell you I talked to one of my realtor friends and they said they would love to help you find something around here if you wanted," He smiled.
"Really? That would be really great! I don't know when I'll have a chance to get back down here though.. I'm going to have to go home and save up some money for a few months so I can come back. I've basically run out of the money I had set aside for this trip so I can't stay much more than another day," I responded sadly.
"Oh really? I thought we would have a few more days so you could apartment hunt before you had to go back."
I shook your head. "Sadly not."
We continued to walk to the parking lot in silence before getting into Tyler's car. He sat there for a moment before turning it on, just staring out the windshield, thinking.
"Ty?" I called softly.
He blinked and looked over to me.
"You ok?" I laughed a bit.
"Yeah sorry I was just thinking. What if you stay at my place for a few days while you look at apartments? I'm going to be going out of town but I trust you. I mean you are basically my best friend at this point. And the boys really would love some company I'm sure," he said, excited that he had come up with a solution.
"Me? Stay at your house? Are you sure?" I asked, your eyebrows raised.
He nodded "Yeah of course! I'll be around for a few days before I have to go so I'll help you get settled in and I'll make sure the fridge is stocked with food and I'll get someone to drive you around if you want."
"Oh Tyler that's too much I couldn't ask you to do that."
"Brooke you are too nice you know that?" he laughed as he turned on his car and started pulling out of the parking lot. "You aren't asking me to do anything, I'm offering and I would really like it if you said yes," he smiled over at me.
I took a deep breath and slowly let it out while I thought for a moment. "Alright. Yeah sure it'll be great," I smile over at him.
"Great! We'll figure out the details tomorrow morning," he said.
Ashlyn was going to freak out when I told her this later.
The next few days were exhausting trying to find a place for me to live that was going to be affordable. I was scared as hell because I had no idea if I was going to find a job quickly enough before my savings I had kept for future rent would run out. But I knew I would have at least 2 months to figure that out, and this was an amazing opportunity so I was going to go for it and figure it out as I went.
I finally decided on one that was nice and cozy but not too horribly expensive. It wasn't too far from where Ashlyn had moved to 4 months ago and Tyler's house was only 15 minutes away. I had to wait three weeks before I could move in, which was when the renovations would be completed. Tyler said that was perfect because that gave me enough time to go home and get my things sent down here and by that time he would be back home to help me move in.
Ashlyn drove Tyler and I to the airport, both of us leaving around the same time. I gave her a hug and told her that I would text her when I landed. I followed Tyler into the airport and stopped when we got to the middle of the airport, having to go opposite directions.
"Here this is for you," he said handing you a key. "I got this made this morning. It's to my house, my best friend should have one. Plus you'll need to be able to get in when you come back in a few days," he laughed.
I smiled and nodded "This is very true," I laughed back. "Thank you again for doing all of this for me. I'm still speechless at all of it."
"Don't be. We got close over the last week and I'm serious when I say I feel like I have known you for years."
"Yeah I agree," I smile at him.
"It's weird I haven't ever felt that way with someone before."
"Really? I have had a couple people I felt that way with. It's pretty cool to meet someone and right away they feel like an old friend. Makes it easier to get super close," I responded and Tyler nodded, agreeing with me.
"So you get back in 3 days?"
"Yeah. I'm hoping that's enough time for me to pack up all my stuff and ship it out. My mom said she started packing my clothes so that's good."
"Alright well text me when you land," he said and pulled me into a hug.
"I will. You text me when you land too," I smiled and wrapped my arms around him. Up until a week ago it was only a dream of mine to get a hug from him, let alone be his best friend. I couldn't believe something as small as sending a goofy tweet to him was what had started all of this, but I was not complaining, that's for sure.
"Be careful," Tyler said softly and kissed my forehead. I blushed and felt my heart skip a little bit. "Call me if you need anything ok? Even if its 2 in the morning," he said and grabbed his bags.
"Okay," I smiled and watched him walk towards where the private planes were located. He turned back and waved at me and I waved back before turning to walk to my gate.
(Ashlyn’s POV)
I pulled out of the airport and started to head home after dropping off Brooke and Tyler. I jumped a bit as my phone rang, coming over the speakings in my car. I pushed a button on the steering wheel, not taking my eyes off the road.
"Hello?"
"Hey Ashlyn," Alexanders voice boomed inside the car.
I smiled "Hey I thought you were getting on a plane to go to the away games."
"I am. Getting on the plane now, but I wanted to call before we left."
"Aw that's so sweet," I smile and blush a bit.
"I'm really glad we met, you are very special to me," he said softly.
"You're special to me too!"
"Aw. When I get home we will hang out more yeah?"
"Of course! I would love that."
"Good. Ok I will text you soon."
"Ok have a safe flight!"
After we hung up I turned on voice command for my phone saying "Text Brooke."
"Texting Brooke. Please say your message," a robotic voice responded.
"Brooke Alexander just called before they left on the plane and he said I was special to him and he wants to hang out when he gets home!" I said all in one breath, too excited but hoping the phone picked all of that up.
The robot repeats the message back to me and asks if it was correct. I say yes and to send it, knowing she probably wont get the message until she lands but I was too excited about this to wait until then.
I finished driving home and decided to take a nap for a little while. After waking up I saw I had a few text messages on my phone, one from Alexander saying that he landed and was headed up to his hotel to take a nap before the game later tonight, and one from Brooke freaking out saying that she was so excited and happy for me and telling me what happened with Tyler before they parted ways at the airport.
This past week had been so amazing for the both of us. I never in a million years thought that this would ever happen, though we both had wished it would. Alexander and I had gotten really close over the last week, spending time together and getting to know each other. He was such a sweet person and I felt like there was something there, but didn't want to say anything because it was too soon still.
I went back to normal life for a few days, well as normal as it could be now, going to work and stopping by Tyler's house to take care of the dogs while Brooke was back home packing her stuff up to send down here. I was so excited she was going to be moving here so we would get to spend more time together and hang out. I had lived in Texas for my whole life but I was new to Dallas for only 4 months and still didn't really know anyone so it was great to know I would soon have her to hang out with, as well as the boys.
I couldn't believe how fast 3 days had gone by, going back to the airport to pick Brooke up again. I was excited to see her knowing that she was going to be super excited to be back.
I pulled up to the pickup spot and looked for her. Not long after she walked out of the doors and came over to the car, putting her suit case and carry on in the backseat. She climbed into the front seat and yawned.
"Hey Ashlyn," she smiled a bit, rubbing her eyes.
"Just wake up from a nap?" I laughed.
She nodded and yawned again. "Moving is a lot of work I haven't gotten a lot of sleep," she laughed and buckled up as we started heading towards Tyler's house.
"Aw well at least you're home now! Are you excited to call this place home?"
"Oh my god yes," she smiled, waking up more.
"I can't wait to see what the renovations look like, your apartment is going to be prettier than mine," I laughed.
"Nooo! yours is so pretty you shush," she laughed.
We drove up Tyler's driveway, Brooke putting in the number for his gate and it opened. You pulled up and parked behind his cars that were still in the driveway and both of you got out. You helped her with her bags and she pulled out her keys, jingling them.
"Look what I got from Tyler right before he left."
"He gave you a ring of keys?" I laughed.
"No silly," she laughed back and grabbed one of the keys and stuck it into the lock, opening his front door.
"He gave you a key to his house?" I asked.
"Yeah I didn't tell you that part?" She asked as we walked into the house, hearing the dogs running from the living room to greet us.
"Hi boys!" Brooke smiled and kneeled down to pet them.
"No you left that part out," I laughed and joined her in petting them, both of us getting covered in doggy kisses.
"Yeah he said that his best friend should have a key."
"Oooh his best friend huh? That's so awesome," I smile at her.
"Right? Again how did this happen? I have no idea but this is like the best life ever," she laughed.
You both got up and grabbed her bags and brought them up to the guest room where her other things were still laid around the room where she had left them before going home.
(Brooke’s POV)
It was nice to be back at Tyler's house. I missed my family but finally being able to move out and be near my friends was super exciting for me. Ashlyn and I spent the day by the pool as it was really warm this week, the dogs playing in the backyard with each other.
My phone rang and it was Tyler.
"Helloooo," I smiled as I answered the phone.
"Hey! Are you back home yet?"
"Yeah I'm hanging out with Ashlyn and the pups," I smiled.
"Oh good! You had them send your stuff to my house right?"
"Yeah my mom said she is going to send it all today and I gave her the address."
"Okay awesome. You can just have the movers put it in the garage for now, that's why I moved my cars out of the way. We will get a uhaul when I get back and the apartment is done."
"Oh thank you, that's a good idea."
"Are you guys going to watch the game tonight?" I could hear the smile in his voice, which just automatically made me smile in response.
"Well of course we are! Wouldn't miss a single one."
"Good you're my good luck charm," he said softly, but not softly enough as you heard some of the guys giggling in the background and making kissy noises. "Shut it," I heard Tyler say, muffled.
I laughed and shook my head. "Aww well I will try my best to send all of the winning energy your way that I can."
"Thank you I appreciate that," he laughed a bit. "Alright I gotta go the boys are bugging me to go to lunch, not like any of them are going to starve anytime soon," he laughed as I heard one of them hit his arm.
"Haha ok I'll talk to you later," I said and we both ended the call.
I stretched and yawned again. "I think I'm gonna take a nap with the boys," I said and started to get up.
"Yeah I gotta head by work for a few hours. I'll be back before the game starts. Do you want me to pick you up anything at the store?"
"No Tyler and I went food shopping before he left so we have a bunch of stuff in the freezer. I think I'm gonna pull out some chicken so we can make buffalo chicken dip later what do you think?"
"Oh my god that sounds so good!" Ashlyn said as she followed me inside.
"Come on boys," I called to the dogs, they all got up from the grass and ran inside, going straight to the couch to lay down in the AC. I walked over to the fridge and grabbed out the chicken from the freezer and put it in a bowl in the sink for it to defrost.
"Alright I'll be back in like 4 hours," Ashlyn said as she gave me a hug.
"Okay I'll be here just knock or text me or something," I smiled.
"Alright. I'll lock the door on my way out. Have a good nap!" she said as she rounded the corner and left.
I started to walk up the stairs towards Tyler's media room so I could throw on a movie and fall asleep in there. The boys followed me up and I laid down, looking through Netflix. I didn't find any movies that interested me so I decided to just watch some Charmed, my favorite show since I was like 4 years old.
Gerry cuddled up by my head, Cash by my feet and Marshal sprawled out on his own spot. I watched the show for the first 20 minutes before slowly falling asleep.
