JESSIE RAYMOND JR. — summer prompts 🍋

A/N: I say this every time, the fandom for all american and definitely HC is basically a ghost town up here and I really don’t get it. I’m here to provide a little something and then dip out again. I also guess it’s time for me to get into summer prompts although it’s still spring y’all lol. Anyways my goal is to try and make these short (didn’t happen!) before summer actually starts and I’m outside ;) so the small group of you that are out there on this site? Hope you like!

PROMPTS: 1.) “I know it’s hot but Jesus, put some clothes on!” + 2.) going fishing but only catching branches and seaweed From these two lists here.

WARNINGS: mostly fluff + “you” reader are given a name + you don’t mesh with Keisha welll in this one + friends having fun with each other basically but not without getting on each other’s nerves a little bit ofc.

SN: I’m just assuming ages here: JR = 20, Damon = 18/19?, you/reader = 19, Simone = 18/19, Keisha = 19, Nate = 20, Thea = 19/20?, Cam = 19 + I feel like Quvenzhané Wallis and Nate are siblings in my head so I casted her as “Morgan” in this.

🍋🌻🍋🌻🍋🌻🍋🌻🍋🌻🍋🌻🍋🌻🍋🌻

To start off the summer season, Thea invited all of you out to her grandmother’s lake house for a week. Initially the tennis player suggested coming out the week after finals back in May but that plan fell through since most of you got caught up in your own tasks.

Simone was supposed to head out to California, wanting to spend time with baby Shay and her parents but something…or someone delayed her trip so she ended up staying with Auntie Amara for a little longer and booked to go back in July. Both Damon and JR were supposed to work down at this youth center for the summer, starting their training on different weeks but the week Damon was supposed to start, was when part of the building collapsed and ultimately pushed the mayor to finally give in and do the repairs.

Thankfully no person or child was hurt but they’ve been fighting for the longest to get some updates on that 1970’s building and the mayor always fibbed saying, “it just isn’t in the budget.” Yet there was no issue constantly throwing money around to throw these events for townsfolk that didn’t deserve it.

Full tea and shade!

JR wanted to help out with the repairs—or at least the cleanup portion but ultimately the head of the center placed him and Damon at another center to volunteer instead. Sure that worked out in JR’s favor since he wasn’t really in it for the money (sure the pay was decent, to have something in your pocket was always a plus, don’t get that twisted!) but he ended up feeling ill for a couple of days resulting in him stepping away from a great opportunity. Damon on the other hand? Stuck around for a little while longer, getting to know the kids and workers along with what this center entailed. Although he wouldn’t be catching the bag any time soon, he figured he still had time to see what he can do with his summer.

Keisha and Cam were spending their first half of the summer together, with him alternating between three houses. Yes, three! Thankfully he had his girlfriend but it’s not like he wanted to be all up on her with her dad back in town—and in the house especially. After their rocky ride this past semester, Cam wanted to see what this summer would bring for them both so he stuck around. Which you didn’t necessarily vibe with but you kept your mouth shut (for now) for the sake of your cousin. You were a Georgia native so it was no question that if Cam wanted to stay in the city more, there was always a open room in your household. And of course over this last semester, Cam and JR got closer—despite the fact that he was dating his cousin! They were will still cool at the end of the day.

As for Nate? Last you heard she was spending lots of time with their baby sister who was just as much as a mess of their older sibling—if not more, according to their social media.

Now here all nine of you are, inside of one of Thea’s grandmother’s vacation homes hoping for a good time. It was only your second day out here in this pale two-story Victorian home, that you personally wouldn’t have guessed would be any of the Mays’ taste but it’s not like you were complaining at all. If there was ever a chance to get away after that hellish semester, you were taking it this summer!

You leaned in the doorway of the upstairs main bedroom, arms lightly folded while pressing one sock covered foot over the other as you chatted away with Thea and Nate.

“Since I really didn’t expect eight of you to show up, it’s my duty as thee host to see what you all like for breakfast.” Thea bounced on her toes, long hair pulled up and away from her heart-shaped face with a claw clip.

Nate sent you a playful side eye before replying, “I honestly expected another post mates order or chef to be doing the honors, Thea. I can’t say I’m not a little gagged to be hearing this this morning.”

Thea fanned her hand at her friend, “please, if you all thought I was going to be in the kitchen when the majority of you showed up late last night, except for you, Willa, you’re all crazier than I thought.”

“Pleased to be of service.” You courtesy, pulling at the ends of JR’s shirt that you sported, which earned a light shove from Nate who rolled their eyes.

Thea clasped her hands with a soft smile, “yeah that’ll be the chef’s job tonight to cater to all your growling bellies so you better enjoy the work I’m putting in for breakfast.”

“Oh, Yes, ma’am.” Nate snapped their fingers before tapping on their chin, “I’m feeling like a egg’s Benedict, preferably with turkey bacon, I don’t mess with pork baby. Or maybe a frittata. What about you, Willa? What are you feeling like this morning?”

You were just rubbing at your eyes, still tired, since you were one of the ones out of the group that didn’t enjoy early mornings, “uh…a iced mocha latte with light ice and almond milk?”

“Almond milk?” Nate scrunched up their nose along with Thea who let out a deep sigh in disappointment, “we do oat milk over here.”

“Yeah well my gut doesn’t care for it so…” you lifted your shoulders with a shrug while the two gasped—like it was the most horrible news they heard this morning.

A form of hands wrapped around your waist, catching you off guard at first before you felt the scratch of his facial hair against your skin as he pecked a kiss to your cheek. Instantly you melted into JR’s frame as he spoke up, eyeing the two you were socializing with out in the hallway.

“My baby don’t need the oats, she’s already thick as it is.”

Nate tilted her head to the side eyeing the brown skinned boy that was all cuddled up this morning, “well, good morning to you too, JR.”

“We love to see the love in the air.” Thea commented making JR smile with a wink, hugging you tighter to his body.

“So what would like for breakfast? and please save us the urge to vomit by saying Willa’s name. Considering…” Nate motioned at JR with their fingers.

A frown suddenly appeared on your face at Nate’s words, making you lean to the side, peeking downwards at JR, making you deeply inhale.

“I know it’s hot but Jesus, put some clothes on!” You whispered yelled at JR who held no shame in his game, simply dressed in some black boxer briefs.

Thea held her hand out, blocking her view of the twenty year old, as JR shifted from behind you and began to flex.

“I mean there weren’t any complaints last night.”

You slapped a hand to your forehead, lightly flinching as you did so.

Nate laughed.

“Please tell me you two didn’t do the deed in my grandmother’s bed?!” Thea hissed at the two.

She was started to regret ever giving you two the main bedroom in the house. There were only three bedrooms and it was a tight squeeze with all nine of you (you and JR in the main bedroom, Keisha, Cam, and Simone in the second bedroom which consisted two twin beds, Damon in the office which actually had a daybed stuffed in one of the corners, and downstairs: Thea slept in one of the large living chairs, while Nate and Morgan slept on the pull-out couch) but Thea was determined to make it work.

JR immediately shook his head, “aye, no. We’re not that disrespectful.”

“Yeah, what kind of couple do you think we are? Keisha and Cam?” You snarked, making Thea cover her giggle with her four fingertips.

Nate let out a low whistle at that, patting at their scalp, knowing exactly how you felt towards the relationship but Keisha was also their old high school best friend. It was too early to get into it right now but if another comment flew…

Thea hummed, “well whatever, this is me telling you two not to get into any funny business. This is not a hotel. I’m gonna go tend to a simple breakfast downstairs, hopefully a hour or a hour in a half should be enough time for you to gather yourselves.”

And with that, Thea spun on her heels, fluffy slippers slapping down the wooden hallway as she made her exit.

“Let’s not act like granny Mays doesn’t have a cleanup crew on standby the second we clear out this place.” Nate muttered to the two, making them snicker.

Thea called from the first floor, “Nate! Come, we have to discuss SummerhouseMV.”

“Oo, that’s my cue! See y’all in a bit!” Nate bid their farewells.

Turning back to Jr, who held a faint dimpled grin on his face, you stepped into the room, squeezing his jaw as you gave him a warning glance, “I thought I told you that this,” you trailed your hand down his torso, enjoying that he shuddered at your mere touch, “is for my eyes only.”

JR smirked as you locked your arms around his neck, “my fault but…you did steal my shirt.”

You hummed, trailing your nose against his, then flicking your eyes to meet his, “why don’t you take it back then, Hm?”

JR licked his bottom lip, one hand pulling you flesh against his hips while the other pushed the door shut behind you, “don’t mind if I do, baby.”

Awhile later everyone eventually made their way downstairs to the main floor, ready to dive into the quick breakfast Thea prepared for you all. The breakfast was full of laughter and chatter until it was time to clean up then get dressed. On the agenda today was just to go across the street and spend the day at the lake, after all it was their first or second day out here—depending on who you ask (some were planning to leave that Saturday or Sunday) but regardless there was nothing wrong with starting off with relaxation.

“If y’all don’t get your asses off the damn boat,” Cam complained, using the back of his hand to wipe the sheen from his forehead after making his way back to the front of the house.

He found no other than you and Thea posing in one boat while Nate’s little sister, sixteen year old, Morgan was snapping away the pics with Thea’s phone.

Morgan eyed Cam up and down, scoffed while giving him the talk to the hand motion, gave Thea back her phone, before taking her leave to head back inside of the house and away from whatever Cam was on.

“Relax Cam,” you fanned the back of your neck, although you managed to get your butterfly locs up and out the way, “let us thrive.”

“I’m the host, I can do what I want. If I want to pose in this crappy boat my granddaddy had shoved away in the basement, I can. If I want y’all to carry me, you will.” Thea flicked out her bamboo folding fan, proceeding to stretch out.

Shaking your head at Thea, you slipped your shades back down over your eyes, fingertips on the edges of the boat, ready to climb out before cousin cam’s blood pressure began to raise.

“Oh yeah? How about I turn this boat into a bowling ball and toss y’all asses into the street, then you’ll really be playing in traffic.” Cam jabbed his thumb behind himself, earning a laugh from a approaching Keisha who walked over, enjoying Cam going off on both Thea and yourself.

Tilting your head to the side you responded, “Be forreal, Cam. You’re not about to throw nobody anywhere, especially me. Its never that serious and It’s too hot to be going back and forth with you and your dragon ass breath.”

Cam huffed, almost stalking forward and making Thea sit up in worry while Damon intervened. “C’mon bro, they’re clearly just messing around. Chill, we’re all family here.”

“It’s too hot for that,” Cam shoved Damon’s hand away from his chest, “and I’m not feeling like playin’ around, when we have to do all the work in this hot ass air.”

Take a shot every time someone says “hot,” today.

“You’re welcome to stay here if you’re going to keep up with this attitude.” Thea carefully climbed out of the boat.

“With you freezing us like it’s the damn North Pole? I rather stay out here in devil’s island.”

“Whoa…don’t tell us you’re some sort of satanist?” Damon questioned, taking a step back while also making Cam’s eye twitch.

“I’m not finna do this with y’all.” Cam pointed, “Let me know when you’re ready because I thought we were supposed to be across the road forty minutes ago.”

He stalked off to sit on the front steps of the house by the bags, snacks, and other accessories everyone was planning to bring to the lake.

Thea glanced down at her manicure, still fanning herself with her other hand, “What’s up his butt?”

You immediately glanced at Keisha who glared at you and now Damon who stared at her.

“What’re you guys looking at me for?”

“I mean you would know…he was fine yesterday.” You answered with a shrug of your shoulders.

Keisha turned her eyes into slits, “Some people just get aggravated in the heat…and cam woke up with a crick in his neck. That’s all I know, so maybe don’t continue spreading your hater energy around.”

“Hater?” You raised your brows before looking around confused, “what’s that?”

“I’m looking right at her.” Keisha scowled, placing her hand on her hip.

Rolling your eyes you ignored her by saying, “anyways…”

Thea shook her head at you two while Damon sent her a grimace before she raised her arms up in the air as everyone else began to pile out of the house, “finally! I’m all for being fashionably late people but come on! I’m a little bit with cranky cam on this one…the sun is only getting hotter and I need a serious dip in the water! Let’s go!”

“Girl it’s only 1pm. We have the entire day ahead of us.” Simone responds, stomping down the stairs.

You were expecting the two to go back and forth but it seemed like Thea and Simone were on good terms for this trip so far. It was a love and hate thing with those two so you weren’t sure how long the love would last.

A brief breeze went by along with the humid atmosphere, making you take a small but thick swallow as it tickled your nose a bit. Exhaling you reached into your Jean shorts pocket, pulling out a tissue before you walked off to cater to your sinuses.

“Babe! You good?” JR called out to you from behind.

The post nasal drip was not as bad today but certainly still lingering around. After clearing your nose out you spun back around, your eyes meeting JR’s who stood some distance from you; now holding onto one end of the boat while Damon held onto the other.

Giving a thumbs up you nodded, “yeah, I’m fine. You?”

JR was in the bathroom for a minute this morning, playing it off as a bad decision to eat cookout so late due to his and Damon’s arrival last night. Something inside of you felt like that wasn’t a hundred since JR’s been sick a couple of weeks back way before he started at the center, so of course you wanted to make sure he was okay and not just a case of the bubble guts.

Just like he wanted to make sure the same with you. You had surgery to remove some nasal polyps almost two weeks ago and was stuck with some prescribed nasal sprays.

“Ain’t no thing.” JR shrugged his shoulders with a gleaming grin, appearing so handsome.

“Alright then,” you clasped your hands together turning your attention to the girls that gathered their own bags from the steps, “let’s roll!”

“Hey!” Thea cut in, jumping down onto the front lawn after locking the house, “that’s my line.”

Raising your hands as you walked by the glaring bronzed skin girl, you gave wide eyes to Simone who sucked her teeth at Thea’s antics.

Soon everyone began lugging their items down the stone steps towards the sidewalk, leaving You behind as you began digging your bag in search of hand sanitizer and your medicine. Bringing the spray into your left nostril, you sprayed more of it on that side since that side gave you more trouble due to the size of the growth that was inside.

“C’mon Lisa Zemo.” Cam called out to you, still standing on the lawn where he stood with Nate, carrying the second boat towards the other set of stairs.

Tossing the medicine back into the bag, you hauled it onto your shoulder and spun back around, giving a middle finger to the dark skinned boy, “I’ll let that one slide. Look at you Cam, getting your lick back. I’m proud.”

“I’m the best clap back king at this crib, please act like you know.” Cam tossed in over his shoulder.

Nate sent you a look, peering up from their phone as you stood beside them. Silently they handed their phone over for you to hold in your much bigger purse for them. Passing through the empty parking spot by the curb, you halted watching the street before you crossed the first section. The other street that had cars going west ended up being more hectic to cross, leaving the three standing there for a good two minutes before they all made it across to the greenery that awaited them.

“Uh uh, what are y’all about to do with that?” Keisha asked the boys who gathered up their equipment.

Damon grinned, “We’re going fishing so we can make dinner tomorrow. You’re welcome.”

Keisha pointed as she lounged on her elbows on a towel, “in this lake?”

“We can just go out to this upscale seafood place instead. That was supposed to be Wednesday’s plan for brunch but things can be rearranged.” Thea told the boys as she finished spraying her sunscreen.

“Y’all can just sit back and let us work. Don’t worry about it, we got it.” Damon reassured.

Simone scoffed, pushing up from her squatting position, “oh no. You don’t get to tell us what we as women should do, what if we want to fish?”

“Oh nah, I didn’t mean it like that—

Damon started.

“Um, I don’t really want to do that so I’m completely fine swimming and tanning so no thanks. Have at it, k? Bye.” Thea kept her cover-up on as she walked to the waterline.

Keisha laughed but stopped short as Simone turned her glare towards her. “Yeah I’m kinda with thea on this one. It’s not for me.”

Simone asked, “Have you ever tried?”

“No and I don’t plan to.” Keisha tossed herself back onto the towel.

Simone turned her attention to Nate’s little sister, seeing her laying on her side turned away from the group, “hey, Morgan.”

“Girl no.” Morgan stated, “I’m napping.”

“I can see you scrolling Twitter!”

“That’s that heat getting to your eyesight. What do they call it? A mirage? Yeah that’s probably what you’re experiencing, I’ll pray for you.” Morgan spoke with a yawn.

Which earned a look of disbelief on Simone’s face while everyone else laughed at the teen’s words.

Soon you, Nate, and Cam made your way to the group’s set up. The two places the boat next to the one Damon and JR carried just as Simone smiled at you.

“Willa! We’re going fishing!” Simone looped her arm with yours, just as you placed your things by Thea’s towel.

You debated, “sitting in the scorching Georgia sun hunting fish or go swimming? Hm I don’t know.”

Making a scale with your hands you dropped them, raising the swimming above your head while JR smirked at you.

“I heard from Willa’s grandpappy that she used to catch all the fish with him back in the day.” The man started before saying, “Makes sense since she’s quite the catch herself.”

Cam gagged, “and you my brother, are quite corny.”

Which earned snickers from the rest.

“Leave my man alone.” You swatted at Cam who walked by to place his own towel between Keisha and a “sleeping” Morgan.

Simone poked you, “Sooo what do you say?”

“I say we should leave Ariel’s family where they belong.” You poked the doe-eyed beauty back.

Keisha commented, “I mean can you even go swimming? Considering the whole nostril issues you’re having? Fishing might be your best bet.”

Simone secretly thought about this but also knew how it came across.

“I don’t need your fake concern, thanks.” You snapped at Keisha who remained stretched out and in peace.

“Hey, I’m just saying! We don’t need any special ER trips on this vacation, it’s supposed to be fun. It’s summer after all and we don’t need anybody ruining it.”

“Then why don’t you shut the hell up?”

Oh yeah, that Watkins energy was flaming right about now.

“Aye, c’mon now. That’s not what we’re here for.” JR tried to ease the tension while Simone sighed at you two.

She wished the both of you could just be cordial—like her and Layla!

“Fine,” you forced a smile on your lips, “anything to get away from this funkiness.”

Simone shushed you on your way by as you stood on the side of the boat, watching the two brother’s as damon tended to one of the rods and JR checked on the live bait.

“Hand me a hook, Simone.” You directed the girl who stood on the opposite side of the boat.

Damon quickly spoke up as he noticed JR eyeing him, “Uh, I’ll take care of that since I already started on this one and not because y’all aren’t capable.”

Simone humphed as she crossed her arms at the bucket hat wearing eighteen year old.

“Cam, Nate? What y’all doing?” JR looked over at the two.

Nate turned on their mini portable fan from beside Morgan as they looked out at the lake. “That fishing mess is not for me. I’ll be right here tending to my bundles and maybe I’ll take a dip in the lake later, to see which white boy is flirting with miss. thea.”

“Bundles?” Cam asked not caring one bit who thea chose to flirt with, “I know you did not bring your hair out here.”

“And what about it, Cameron?” Nate turned to the braided boy, shaking the hair out as if they were fanning themselves with it.

Cameron blew air out his lips, “imma mind my business. I’ll be in the water, y’all.” He pressed a kiss to Keisha’s temple before he hopped up, chucked up the deuces and jogged away to the water.

“Guess that’s our answer, let’s go ladies.” Damon lifted the boat along with JR, who led the way.

Simone was on competing mode, which Damon found humorous on their side of the boat—while also riling her up just a tad. As the four of you got comfortable on the boat, which happened to be a great distance from where all the water sports activities were occurring up ahead, you found yourself seated right beside your boyfriend, thighs touching as JR was on DJ duty.

His portable Bluetooth sat in the middle of the boat while he tended to his phone that was on shuffle, currently playing some old Drake.

On the edges of the boat sat the rods, floating on waiting for something to catch the bait. The sun was beaming down, darkening each of their pretty hues but the water and being by each other was all the company they needed.

“Hey,” you whispered to JR who was quick to meet your eyes.

Your eyes told him you were okay but a nudge of your head, silently made him aware what you were going to do.

Pulling your left eye graphic t-shirt over your head, you yanked the hot pink dolphin shorts off and jumped over the side of the boat.

“The hell?! Did she just fall?!” Simone quickly looked over her shoulder, breaking out of her banter with Damon, now on full alert for her friend.

JR glanced over to see you re-emerge, brushing the water from your face as a blissful smile split onto your face.

JR responded as he pulled his own shirt off, leaving himself in his initial necklace and trunks, “Nope. Just livin’ life.”

Before he jumped into the water as well.

He latched onto you as you swam along, all smiles as the music played on, staring into each others eyes and happy to be in the arms of the one you love.

Another splash sounded from behind you, revealing Simone who floated on her back with a smile of her own, “I was wrong. The water is the much better choice. My bad guys.”

“You’re forgiven.” You teased the girl.

JR called out to Damon as you wrapped your legs around his waist, “C’mon bro, you’re the only one left, get in here!”

“What about the fish?”

“Man, forget all that!”

Damon sighed as he tossed his hat to the side along with his shirt, “y’all owe us dinner tomorrow.”

“Damon! Damon! Damon!” The three of you splashed, waiting for the boy to take a dive.

Once he hit the water, he snuck up behind the three, full of laughter as he caught them off guard.

Being in the water for what felt like hours with your boyfriend and good company provided just the freeing fresh start of summer that you needed.

“Hey, we lost sight of you guys.” Keisha greeted you guys, hair slightly damp as she tossed grapes into her mouth.

Thea smiled at the four who made their way over, “must have caught a lot to be out there for so long.”

“Let’s see it!”

“Oh, y’all aren’t ready.” Simone sassed, a glint in her eye as she looked back at you who let out a small laugh.

Damon lifted up one bucket while Jr held the other, “Might be our biggest catch yet.”

“Stop with the suspense and show us!” Nate yelled, now standing.

“Alright, y’all asked for it.” JR shrugged with a smile as he followed Damon to stand in front of the group.

The two brother’s both dipped their heads before they lifted their buckets and tipped it over, emptying its contents.

“What the hell is this?” Cam sucked his teeth.

Morgan peeked up from her phone, “I know they lying.”

In front of them sat pounds of seaweed mixed with some branches.

“You guys were out there all this time and didn’t catch a damn thing? What a waste of time.” Keisha clicked her tongue, “I’m glad I didn’t go.”

Although the rest of the group didn’t exactly get it, stamping it as nothing but to past the time, Simone, Damon, you, and Jr understood what that bonding moment meant as you all shared a brief group hug.

Thea did the honors of snapping a picture with her Polaroid just before you all let go.

Lounging beside Jr, you felt the air starting to calm down but that didn’t stop you from putting some more drops up your nose. As you lay your head on JR’s shoulder, the both of you stared up into the periwinkle sky with specs of pink cotton candy forming in the middle.

His warm hand slipped up to intertwine with yours as he croaked out, “did you have a good day?”

“It’s always a good day with you,” you stared down at your conjoined hands, “wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“I love you, baby.”

You smiled, angling yourself to place a kiss along JR’s jaw, “I love you too, Jessie.”

And his smile matched yours, sparking hope that there’ll be more summers like these.

nova scotia princess | nico Hischier

nico hischier x oc marchand

warnings: swearing, mostly fluff and some sweet moments between her and her siblings.

word count: 4.3k

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

marie celine marchand had been in new york for the past year, much to brad's dismay. he hadn't seen her since christmas, and was shocked to see her at his doorstep up north. it was now july during the off season, and marie had decided to head on up to nova scotia, for her birthday no less.

◦

the youngest of the five, she could not have been more different from the rest. she never engaged in hockey (i know! a sin!) never took any inkling towards skating or snow sports, but instead towards soccer, her first love. she was enamored with it and it took her to faraway places with team canada and for her college years at the university of stanford. she had a very hard time leaving california but knew it was best to start fresh, and it just so happened that she loved new york. at the time, it was only a 40 minute drive to her long time childhood friend, ryan graves before he was traded to the pittsburgh penguins. the day he was traded, he gave her a phone call and she was completely gutted. yet she understood the business side of the league, though brad had gotten the better part of it his entire career. after he was traded, she hadn't thought about the new jersey devils as the season rolled around. she no longer had something tying her to them, so she moved on and supported her friend's ryan and sidney on the pens from afar. it wasn't until she found her self in upper manhattan meeting up with some girls from work at a little known and upscale restaurant, that she had saw some of the people she'd grown close to over ryan's stint with the team. she walked past them towards her table, most certainly garnering some looks once they heard the familiar name of marie celine from the group of girls. she got a text from a few of them night, restarting the snapchat groupchat she had had with some of the younglings. most notably, hughes', nico and dawson. she rolled her eyes as messages flowed in that evening as the girls took some wine back to the girl's apartment.

that evening all of the caught up with one another, and then she received a text from nico askin if they wanted to get some coffee for old times sake. what did she have to lose? and so it began than, secret dates and then group dates with the team, spending weekends at a time with nico at his place getting up to whatever came about. throughout all of it, she kept it a secret from everybody besides her older sister rebecca; nobody needed to know. at least not yet.

◦

marie walked up to the front door of brad's lake house and she mentally prepared herself for the all the pestering and bombarding that would happen once she'd set a foot in the house. she pulled out the key he had given her the year he finished building it, and she quickly made work with the lock and pushed open the tall door. "brad! im home!!" she called out, smirking to herself as she heard dogs running towards her and footsteps. she looked up to see brad with wide eyes and then his famous smile. she took her hand off of her small suitcase, and met him halfway for a hug. "who's here?" "who's that?" "if its jr im gonna cry" and that made marine giggle, already knowing it was ryan. "you good?" brad questioned pulling away just a bit and she nodded, "yep! are you? you forgot to invite me for my birthday!" she said faking a pout. "kat!" he called for his wife and marie slapped his arm, "don't go blaming it on your wife you hooligan!" marie said as katrina walked in and she squeled. "i thought you were going to sw-" and then katrina cut herself off. brad looked at his wife then to marie and then they were both gone and off towards the kitchen. "we have a surprise guest!" katrina called out towards the open back door and a group of heads turned towards her. she saw her siblings, ryan, sid, nate, patrice b, pasta, their partners, a few childhood friends of the siblings and a few aunts/uncles. "damn got the whole fam i see..." she whispered to kat who giggled. "uh yeah you could say that." she said looking down at the girl as some of the guys came to say hi. "hi guys." she said looking at some of the nova scotia greats as ryan rested his arm on the brunettes head. she looked up giving him a playful dirty glare, "ah hem." she said garnering a few laughs. "well if you'll excuse me-" she paused pushing ryan's arm off of her head, "ill be down soon, i need to do a few things." she said smiling at everybody before she was off towards a guest room that was designated hers.

she sat down on the edge of the bed as she put her head in her hands, cursing the world. her phone buzzing like no tomorrow with texts from nico, the hughes brothers and dawson. she had been dodging their texts and calls after (what she thought) was nico cheating on her. they were on facetime a week ago and she could have sworn she heard somebody in the background as she heard a muffled voice and nico look in front of him one night. so when she didn't show up to the airport in switzerland the day before, nico was freaking out. which in turn freaked the other boys out. she heard a soft knock on her door, and she looked up to see ryan. she sniffled, wiping her tears as he stepped in and shut the door behind him.

she broke down even more, and ryan quickly sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her. he had no idea why his best friend was hurting, yet he kept quiet until her sobs became softer. "mc....whats going on?" he asked as he pulled back just a bit to look at her, her cheeks stained with redness and moisture. she sniffled, "he-he's cheating on me." she said and ryan knew exactly who she as referring to, besides her sister she ofcourse told him. they were two peas in a pod, through thick and thin. ryan sighed, growing heated with anger. "and they wont stop texting me...they are worried as to why i didn't make it to switzerland but i don't wanna talk to them." she said pushing her head into his chest. ryan kissed her head, trying to calm himself. she needed her best friend, he'd take care of nico later.

◦

the next morning ryan left the marchand house early to get some coffee for him and marie. the two hadn't left her room all day. she was too much in state of disbelief, shock, and grief as she explained to nico what had happened. as soon as he was turning onto the main strip her called nico up, ready to tear him a new one. nico picked up on the fourth ring unsure as to why he was calling, "wanna fucking explain to me hischier why the fuck you cheated on the very best thing that has ever happened to you and our universe huh? why you decided to hurt the very brightest light? you are so in for it hischier, you have no idea. you have a whole league about to give you hell." ryan spat breathing rapidly. nico was at a loss for words over in switzerland. "what?" he croaked in confusion and exhaustion. since marie hadn't been responding to anybody's calls or messages, he hadn't slept. too sick with fear and anxiety. "she caught you with a girl nico, on facetime. are you seriously that daft?" ryan growled. nico thought back to their last facetime and he went through the events of it. he'd been sitting up in bed shirtless, around 11:30 his time, he was just about to go to bed after finishing his sleep tea and he then realized. she had heard his sister in the background, as she had come to visit him and the two had just gotten done playing a round of Mario kart. "christ- didn't cheat. promise." he said standing up now and looking at flights to new york. "who was it then nico?" ryan questioned, "my sister. can get flight to new york today." he said and ryan chuckled, "yeah no she ain't there." ryan said turning into the drive through, " if you're gonna make things right, you gotta come to scotia." ryan stated.

ryan walked back into the house with his, brad's, kat's and marie's coffee with a few breakfast sandwiches. "wanna tell me why marie is crying on the dock?" sidney said as soon as ryan walked into the kitchen. "wait what?" ryan asked setting everything down before looking towards the dock, and now seeing nate making his way down it. ryan sighed, "misunderstanding." he simply stated taking the coffees out of the tray. "misunderstanding, huh? is that why you two were locked in her room all evening?" sidney asked sipping his hot coffee. ryan sighed again, "she thought her boy-boyfriend cheated on her." was all ryan stated sipping some coffee. "boyfriend?" sidney questioned, eyes going wide. "does brad know?" he questioned, and ryan scoffed. "like he need to know every little thing in her life." and sidney wouldn't buy it. "no no, you have to tell him! or at least get her too." sidney said with authority, and ryan rolled his eyes. "sid, she doesn't want him to know at least not yet." ryan said watching nate and marie interact. nate had his arm around the brunette, as she sobbed into his shoulder. "you know we all look at her like a sister, please do the right thing. we only want the best for her and that only happens if brad knows, and you know that." sidney said before taking his cup of coffee and heading out to nate and marie. ryan groaned as kat walked in with the young kiddos. "ou! mommy juice, thankyou ry." kat said thanking the defenceman. she saw the look in his eyes, and then she look towards the crowded dock. "oh no." kat said, "oh no? whats up?" brad said walking in rubbing his eye. he paused as he saw the three of them outside, huddled together, "whats going on?" brad asked now walking in front of ryan. "uh-" "spit it out graves." brad demanded and ryan hummed. "she thought her- her boyfriend cheated on her. but it was a misunderstanding." he stated and brad was angry. "boyfriend?! what do you mean misunderstanding graves? spill it!" he said as kat took the kids outside. "she thought her boyfriend of 10 months cheated on her but it was only his sister that she heard. i just got off the phone with the dude so its been all cleared away, i just hadn't had the chance to tell her." and then he said softer, "and tell you he's coming here." ryan said not meeting his best friends eye sight. "here? are you mad ryan! who is this so i can knock some sense into him?" brad demanded and ryan was in for it. he was cornered, there was no getting out of this. "i cant say brad, only marie can." ryan said defeatedly and brad rolled his eyes. "so you're saying that you really arent her boyfriend?" and ryan now met his eye sight in shock. "you're telling me that you two haven't been together at least at some point?" he said and ryan laughed. "oh god no, shes my sister brad. you know she hates me half the time, for good reasons but no. i couldn't ever go down that path and there has never been a moment ever for me to. ew gross." ryan said and brad sighed. "always thought it was you two against the world... man i gotta pay up." he said amusedly. "pay up?" ryan said cocking an eyebrow. "a long running bet with patrice." and now it was ryans turn to laugh. the nova scotia princess was never his and would never be.

on the dock, marie thanked nate for listening to her ramble and cry into his shoulder before sidney sat down. nate rubbed her upper back, trying to comfort the girl. sidney sat down and offered her some kind words, and she thanked him. "i just don't know what was not good enough for him? what did i do wrong?" she said looking off into the clear lake. sid and nate looked at one another, silently trying to get the other speak up. "nothing sunshine, nothing. its all him." sid said trying to reassure the young girl he'd seen as a little sister since the day she was born. him and brad had been in practice together when they got the call from brad's dad, urging the boys to head down to the hospital with sid's dad. the moment he had seen the young girl was how he felt when his sister was born, he'd protect and be there for her through everything. "how about a boat day?" nate offered up and marie smiled. she could never and would never pass up a boat day.

◦

it was around 10:30 pm and the original group that had been there when she'd shown up was back at the house, with all the kids passed out as they sat around talking, drinking and now making smores. ryan had been looking a this phone for the past two hours waiting to heard from nico, but nothing had come in since he had landed and was about to go through customs. marie had been having a great evening, her favorite people all in one place once again. celebrating her birthday that evening, and now talking like old times. ryan and marie sat with one another, cuddling up to stay warm now that a chill had set in. "dude, put your phone down for the princess' birthday." brad said annoyed that ryan and been on his phone for the better half of two hours. marie glared at brad, "its alright brad. no harm done." she sighed. she had a love hate relationship with the nickname, but most importantly when it was said out loud by brad. it made her cringe somewhat. "hows new york, mc?" nate asked and marie smiled then frowned softly before her smile reappeared. "its going great! work is going well and stuff. i even joined a soccer league for fun, it'll start up in august." she said swirling her drink. "we'll have to catch a game before we head to training camp." sid offered and the others agreed. she smiled softly, before ryan untangled himself from her after he got a text message. nico had arrived. brad eyed ryan as he got up and walked into the house. kat smiled softly knowing what was going to happen and nudged brad in the side a bit. "its fine, let them be." kat whispered and brad rolled his eyes.

marie shut her eyes softly, just basking in this moment, this evening and few days she had taken off of work to be here. it had been far too long since the last time she'd been home, always using her summers to train in san diego before returning to school. she hadn't been home in 6 years and promised herself that she'd make it up here more, now that she lived in new york. "oh princess!" she heard ryan call from the house and she sighed, standing up and throwing the blanket onto the seat before heading inside. "yes grumpy prince?" she asked giggling before she froze, seeing nico. he had a hopeful yet loving gaze on his face as she looked at him with tears beginning to form. what was he doing here? she turned towards ryan who had begun to make his way out, and she pulled him back inside as he was already through the threshold. "wanna tell me why he's here ryan?!" she asked upset. "ask him-" and she cut him off, "no, you tell me!" she screamed now alerting some of the guys outside. nico stood on the other side of the kitchen, with a defeated look on his face with guilt and regret spreading throughout his body. "he cheated on me and you're going to invite him here, ryan? tell me why that was a good idea, huh?" she pestered as brad walked in. "no fucking way." he muttered staring down nico, and nico took a step back. "answer me!" she yelled at ryan who held his hands up in innocence. "marie-" she cut off her brother, "you knew?!" she said stepping back away from the two. "let him explain himself." ryan said as she looked at the two people she thought she could trust in this world. thankfully, so far nate and sid hadn't given her any reason to distrust them. "let him explain, please. if you still don't believe him or want him gone- ill-we'll get rid of him." brad said pleading to his baby sister and she sighed, arms crossing over her chest. she turned slowly towards nico who had a pleading look, and her heart twinged just a bit. "fine." she said and the two smiled widely, backing out into the back and brad shut the doors.

"follow me." she said walking past him and they began their dissent up the stairs. she opened the door and let him walk past her into the room, and she shut it behind them. she then went to the window and shut the blinds, but not before flipping the group off. she heard groans and a few 'fuck' as they all wanted to hear and see the drama unfold. "i didn't cheat, schatzi. i promise." he began and she shook her head, "alright bud." she said rubbing her eyes. "i didn't baby, you have to believe me." he began again and she shook her head again. "who was it, huh? somebody like your ex? was it somebody better than me? what did i do wrong, ni. what did i do to hurt you?" she questioned through a strained voice. nico shook his head, "you've never hurt me, you've never done a thing wrong. promise. the girl-"he chuckled pulling her hands into his, inching closer to her. "the girl was my sister, nina." he said a bit amused now. his eyes crinkled as he smiled, his dimples on full display as he looked into the eyes of the girl, he loved. "wait what?" marie asked in disbelief. "your sister?" she asked and he nodded. she looked down and nico quickly diffused her guilt, "schatzi its ok, i promise!" he said pulling her chin up to look at him. she shook her head, "i - i mis read things and i feel like an idiot." she hummed tearing her chin away. "misunderstanding." he hummed and she frowned. "im sorry." she said with tears beginning to form, "im an idiot. oh my god." she said and he pulled her info a hug. he kissed her head, rubbing her back softly. "im a fool, im a utter fool how could i be so daft?" she rambled in french and nico chuckled, "you two have thing for the word daft?" and marie cursed the universe for him knowing french. "wait, two? who?" she questioned pulling back to look up at him. "nico yelled at me yesterday." he said laughing now and marie had a concerned look on her face, "how bad?" and that made nico laugh even louder. whenever she needed back up, he was there to give it. she looked up at nico as his laughs subsided and she stood on her tip toes to kiss him. he pulled her in closer, leaning down a bit so her feet could be flat. they pulled apart, resting their foreheads on each others. "so, how much trouble am i with the guys outside?" he questioned softly and now it was her turn to laugh.

◦

it was the next morning now and marie woke up to an empty bed, groaning before getting out of bed. she made her way over to the blinds and opened the blinds to see kat, patrices and david's girlfriend, and the kids on the patio eating breakfast while all the guys are missing. she squinted over towards the lake and she did a double take before seeing her brother's boat. it was a crowded boat, with all of them sitting facing one another. she spotted nico and prayed that the guys weren't going too hard on him. after the two spoke last night, they made there way downstairs for a bit before nico was on the verge of passing out due to the time difference. she quickly changed into a white t-shirt and linen pants, before heading down he stairs. "ti!" she heard rue screamed as she walked outside, and quickly made her way over towards the older girl. she wrapped her arms around the girl's legs before rue pulled her up for a hug. "good morning my girl." she said speaking in french as the two shared a small moment in the morning sun. "hows my favorite god daughter?" she hummed and kat laughed, "your only god daughter." she mused. marie giggled, "that's why she's my favorite." she said setting her back down in her height chair, and sat down on the bench with noah , patrice's son. "ouu cinnamon rolls!" the girl overly gushed, garnering some giggles from the kids. "ever the oldest child." kat teased and marie winked, "i take my role very seriously." she hummed.

the boat was on its way back now after a very stern talk with nico, unfortunately. basically threatening his very existence if he were to ever step out of line. the usual. oh, and that there was somebody or two on every team who would not hesitate to teach him a lesson. nico and the guys all got off onto the dock, with ryan running in front to get some cinnamon rolls- steal is more like it. "hey! that's for us." marie said swatting his hand away as he came up behind her, "i swear to god grumps, im gonna cut off your hand." she said quirking an eyebrow between the two's showdown. "good morning princess!" brad said placing a kiss on the girl's head before stealing a cinnamon roll himself. "hey, not fair!" ryan said and marie mimicked him, earning a chorus laugh from the kids. "im the one that brought them." brad said shrugging, "no i did." sid said and patrice shook his head, "you brought the original one's, i was told to pick up another dozen." patrice said picking up his youngest, felix. "yall are too much in the morning." she mumbled in french, standing up and walking inside to get some coffee. nico followed her into the kitchen to get a refill on his, to which she happily poured him some. "how bad was it?" she questioned, peering around him quickly and then looked back at him. he shrugged, "theyre just as scary in life as on ice." he said and she giggled. "yeah...they have no filter." she said pushing a strand of hair behind his ear. "tell me about 'nova scotia princess'." and she rolled her eyes, "the fairest of them all." he added with a grin and she growled loudly. "you inconceivable fools!" she yelled out, making her way outside. "im going to kill you all!!!!" she said looking at sid, nate, ryan and brad. she did a fake start towards brad before going after nate, "come here nathaniel!" she screamed running after the man, who was, unfortunately, being outrun by a 5'4 semi-retired defenceman. "somebody help me here!" nate called out and sid began his dissent, but she was too quick and made her way after him. "you are so getting in that water!" she screamed, referring to a tradition the 5 of them had. a surprise morning swim in the cold water. "its cold!" one of the kids screamed and marie laughed. "perfect!" she grinned. ryan tapped nico, "lets get our girl." ryan said nodding towards the brunette and nico smiled. "lets get her." and the two made their way towards the water where she was running after the two. "no!" she screamed as ryan almost grabbed the girl. "don't you dare!" she said jumping a few feet away from him. thankfully with sid and nate being neighbors, she freely began her way towards their places with the group following her. nico was the one closest to and almost grabbed her as well but she took a step to her right and was out of reach, "alright i gotta do it myself!" brad announced jogging over and marie knew it was game over. "not the old man!" she gasped, earning a few chuckles.

it was not brad who got the girl but nico, who was immediately instructed to drop her off the dock and into the lake. she screamed, cried, and kicked but unsuccessfully as she felt water hit her back. as she came up, everybody else decided it would be a great idea to also jump in. she covered her head momentarily before splashing water in all directions, "you! you traitor!" she said with astonishment as nico tried to get closer. ryan dunked her before she could say anything else, and nico laughed with the rest of them. she came back up and pushed ryan, "rude!" "the princess of nova scotia is officially home!" brad said as he made his way towards her, ready to splash her as well.

Mummy and Daddy

Media The Queens Gambit

Character Benny Watts

Couple Benny X Reader

Rating SMUT + Sad

Warnings: labour/pregnancy/ loss of children

I sat on the sweet leather chair and held my magazine in one hand, a plastic container of cool whip rested on my heavily pregnant baby bump, and a cheese stick in my hand slowly dunked and nibbled at it as I flipped through my magazine. My hair was up in a ponytail and my long black dress was over my pale skin.

"Fuck!" I heard across the room so I glanced across the grey basement to be faced with the sight of an utter mess as Benny sat on the floor barefoot, in his black jeans and black t-shirt. His blonde hair fluffy and fresh from his shower his finger between his teeth. His body was surrounded by cardboard, paper, wood and tools.

"You alright Benny?" I asked as I sat up with concern,

"Splinter." He complained,

"You need some help?"

"No, no you stay there."

"You sure?"

"Yeah I'm fine I can't risk it," he said as he managed to get the splinter out with his teeth,

"Risk?" I laugh as I put my magazine down and slowly got to my feet,

"I don't want you getting hurt,"

"From a splinter?"

He smiled and held my hand as he tugged me close to him his other hand stroked my stomach, "Daddy doesn't want anything to happen to our little bundle," He smiled as he peppered my bump with kisses,

"Even me getting a splinter?" I laughed,

"Daddy doesn't want Mummy to get hurt even something as small as a splinter," he smiled,

"You have become so cuddly and affectionate since I got pregnant,"

"Can't I be happy we're gonna have a baby?"

"Of course, I'm happy too Benny," I smiled and returned to the sofa and my magazine,

"You thought any more about names?" he asked as he slowly worked to put together the crib, even if it wasn't a very simple task,

"Not really," I smiled, "I assume you have,"

"Maybe Y/n..." he cooed,

"Ohh? Go on then share with me," I laughed as I stroked my bump,

"Well, I think Benny Jr would be a very cute name,"

"Benny Jr? Benjamin Watts Jr?" I laughed,

"I think it would be very cute," He cooed, "Little Jr, Little Benny Jr. Imagine all the chess boys thinking they are safe and then Benny Watts jr comes up in the tournament,"

"As adorable as that would be Benny I don't like double names its uncreative."

"Fine... How about Little Y/n Jr?"

"What if it's a boy?"

"Nate?"

"No Benny,"

"Alright, how about... Michel for a boy?"

"Ehh no,"

"Sam?"

"Sam? Samuel? Or Sammy?"

"Sammy I think,"

"Cause it sounds like Benny?"

"Maybe," he shrugged

"No,"

"Simon?"

"Not feeling it,"

"Danny?"

"Danny or Daniel?"

"Danny."

"I prefer Daniel."

"I prefer Danny,"

"Cause it sounds like Benny?"

"...Maybe,"

"No Benny,"

"Alright," He laughed as he finished the last piece of the crib and he got to his feet and checked the crib over, "Yes! Success!" He cheered, "Now to move it into the-" He began as he tried to push the crib into place but that caused one of the screws to snap and the whole thing to come tumbling down onto the basement floor in a pile of screws and wooden pieces, "...Fuck."

I couldn't hold back my giggles and he rolled his eyes before he came over, "Can I sit?"

I nodded and stood up, he sat in the chair and tugged me down to sit on his thigh I smiled and laid my head on his chest, and his hand happily sat on my bump.

"You are so beautiful, utterly radiant Y/n,"

"You think so?"

"Of course I do." He smiled, "Daddy thinks mummy and baby look very beautiful," He said as he kissed my head,

"Aww thank you, Benny," I smiled as I kissed his lips, "Any other ideas? for little one?"

"Humm... well," He smiled as he stroked my bump, "Little one will be the most beautiful baby in the whole world, if we get lucky our little one with have sweet pale skin, charming firey Y/h/c hair, precious oceanic Y/e/c eyes."

"You want them to look like me?"

"I would be delighted if our baby looks like you," he smiled, "A perfect clone of their beautiful mother."

"What about their handsome father?"

"You'd want our baby to look like me?"

"Ummm a charming baby, with fluffy blonde hair and chocolate eyes like their father." I giggled, "I mean Genetics Benny, you have anyone in your family with Y/e/c eyes? or Y/h/c hair?"

"...I don't think so,"

"See, so it's very unlikely my more... recessive traits would make it though,"

"I hope they do," He cooed, "I can picture... a little boy, with my blonde hair, your sweet Y/e/c eyes, your adorable nose and my sly smile, be a chess genius and a fantastic baker. Our little boy," he cooed as he stroked my bump,

"I think that's sweet Benny," I smiled, "... we could name him... Christopher."

"Christopher? I really like that."

"You do?"

"Yeah, Christopher Watts," He smiled, "Our little christoper."

"You really like it?"

"I love it, Y/n." He smiled,

"What about a girl?"

"... Christine. Christine Watts."

"Christine. I like it,"

"Christine Watts. It's perfect." He smiled as he kissed my stomach,

I sighed as I sat in bed in my little black nightie as I stroked my bump, I felt so big, so fat, so ugly, my body felt so used by the baby, my feet were swollen, my arms chubby, my face swollen, every inch of me felt so wide and heavy. I barely even fit into my nightie anymore.

"Ohh..." Benny smiled as he leant on the door frame in his boxers,

"Hi Benny, you coming to bed?"

"I think I am," he growled,

"What?" I raised an eyebrow at his growl,

"You look... so sexy."

"I- I do? Benny, do you need your eyes checked?"

"No, I see you perfectly fine Y/n," he smirked as he bit his lip, "Ummm..." he groaned, "You look so good."

"Do I?"

"You do. Something about seeing you... seeing your swollen up tummy," He smirked as he knelt on the bed and began crawling to me, "Knowing... everything I did to you," He bit his lip harder, "How I fucked you so hard, I got you pregnant, how your womb grows large swelling your stomach as my seed grows inside you. To think you're carrying our baby..."

"...Benny have you discovered a mild breeding kink you didn't know about?"

"...I might have," he smirked as he reached my lips, "That and your breasts have like... tripled in size which also makes me very excited," He smirked as he kissed me rather passionately and aggressively his hands all over my stomach, "Umm you look so good, so beautiful," he muttered before he pulled back with a deep look of hungry lust, "Humm," He growled bitting his bottom lip almost to the point of blood as his dark eyes looked me up and down lingering on my stomach, "Mummy is making daddy very, very hard. And horny. and lusty. Fuck either open your legs."

"Benny," I giggled,

"Now Y/n," he demanded,

kissing down my neck as he tugged the spaghetti straps of my nightie down tugging the whole thing off my body leaving me naked my nipples hard in the cold of the basement,

“Ummm you so good,”

“I do?”

“You do,”

“Even when I’m all-”

he smirked tugging his boxers down and wrapping my legs around his hips, it didn't take long for him to slip hilt deep Inside of me making me gasp holding the sheets tightly, “You look like my queen.” He growled, “My Sensualpregnant queen, Mother to my child, I don’t think you’ve ever looked so pleasing,” he began slowly moving from tip to hilt grinding his hips slowly but efficiently quickly leaving me a mess of moans each time he drove deeper often he nibbled at my neck to allow the sounds I made no matter how small not be missed by his ears, gradually he got faster and more merciless which caused my moans and groans to increase, his hand moving to rub on my clit in time with his thrusts

"Ughhh-benny please!" I gasped as my eyes rolled back a little my head rolling against the pillow in pleasure,

"Not till you cum Y/n" he smirked biting on my neck to leave a love bite getting even faster causing me to scream with each of his thrusts "fuck- You'll make me cum already, mummy is far too good to Daddy making him feel so good, why do you have to look so fucking irresistible,"

"I can't help it" I whined,

"Awww I know you can’t, you can’t help winding me up when you look so good." He smirked "Ughh come here!" he smirked pulling out and grabbing my hips pulling me down the bed leaving my hair against the pillows my back further down the bed and my hips off the mattress completely he kept my hips in the air and my ankles in his hands pushing them as far apart as physically possible, and smirking with that evil sky grin before burying his head between my legs nibbling at my inner thigh, kissing my clit, running his tongue across every inch of me even pushing his tongue inside me at moment's which left me a screaming mess often uncontrollably kicking my legs from the pleasure

"Ahhhhh Benny please!" I squealed as he mercilessly continued enjoying my pleads but still ignoring them as he worked I knew how close I was so I began desperately tugging on his hair which made him pull back

"Awww you're so cute when you're hysterically horny" he smirked throwing me completely against the mattress again looming over me "Umm look at you. Bright red. Hard nipples. Giant tits, Dripping cunt. Our little baby resting in your big belly, This" he smirked, stroking his hand down my body "is why I love edging you, Y/n." He smirked "You look so beautiful when your body is craving me," he growled "Say it. And I'll let you cum"

"I need you Benny" I cooed as breathy as I could pulling him into an intense kiss which he happily worked into before pulling back

"Good girl. Down. Now." He demanded so I did as he asked and went down on my knees holding the wooden headboard in my hands he smirked and stroked my waist from my stomach around my side to the small of my back "umm perfect Y/n' he whispered in my ear before slipping back inside me making me moan loudly given how close I was and that he always felt so much bigger when on my knees he didn't waste time being gentle or slow going back to his merciless pase immediately holding my hips hard as he moved often causing the bed to bang and creek his hand moved to cup my breast often twisting my nipple which only increased my moans of pleasure

"Uhhhh Benny!"

"That's perfect, isn’t this how I put the baby in you before," he smirked moving a hand down to rub on my clit making me scream even louder

"Ahhhhh Benny please im-"

"Close?" He smirked and I nodded "Well.. can I cum inside you?"

I blushed hard “I guess so… I mean I’m already pregnant Benny now sure how much hard you could do,” I nodded which only made his smirk grow

"Then my Y/n can cum" he smirked rubbing even faster on my clit as he thrusted

"Uuuuuuuuuuughh uhhhh benny!"

"Louder!" He demanded slapping my ass hard and at that moment I hit my wall making me squeal loudly slightly squirting a little as my orgasm rushed through me leaving me a shaking moaning mess, which only fueled him letting me ride it out still playing with my clit before he moved back to fondle my breasts again still at his merciless pace he got louder too more throaty

"Uhhh fuck. Y/n! Y/n..Y/n!" He growled before biting my shoulder as his hips jerked in a few odd angles and ways finishing deep inside me before he gasped and collapsed his weight onto me. It took a couple of seconds of us both gasping before he pulled out and we lay on the bed, “Fuck… I really love how you look pregnant.”

“I gathered Benny…” I gasped,

“We best be careful, I might love how you look so much I’ll get you pregnant again as soon as baby comes out?”

"Will you now?"

"I might," he smirked as he kissed my bump, "Goodnight Y/n,"

"Goodnight Benny,"

"Goodnight Christopher, or Christine." he smiled as he kissed my bump

"Which do you hope for?"

"Honestly?"

"Honestly,"

"A little boy. A little Christopher. to teach chess and be US champion after me, my sweet son. That's what I want, a son."

"Yeah, I think I'd like a little boy too, but I don't mind so long as their happy and healthy,"

"Yeah so long as their happy," He nodded "I love you, Y/n,"

"I love you too Benny," I smiled before we wrapped up for the night.

I lay in my bed after the worst pain I could ever imagine, the grey hospital room around me. The only peace is Benny's hand in mine. We had been here so long and I had been through an unimaginable amount of pain, my body had been through so much in these hours and I was in this strange stage of feeling almost like I wasn't alive like a shell of my body. The nurse came in and perked up both of us as she stood with a clipboard in hand, she was nervous and barely looked at us.

"...Mr and Mrs Watts?"

"Yes?" Benny asked,

"I... I have some news." she said, "There is good news and some bad news, which did you want first?"

I squeezed Benny's hand, and we met eyes and he nodded to me.

"The bad news. get it out of the way."

"... Your son. He didn't survive."

I nodded, squeezing Benny's hand as hard as I could as tears began to slip from my eyes no matter how hard I tried to hold them back. "I want to see him..."

"we can't-" She began,

"I WANT TO SEE HIM!" I yelled, "Bring him to me! Bring him to me! Bring me my son!" I demanded,

"Y/n -" Benny tried to calm me,

"BRING ME, MY SON!" I begged in a scream,

She nodded and went fetching a small bundled-up baby, she handed him to me and left us to have a moment, Benny held me close as I held our baby close feeling his cold skin, we held each other tight as we cried together, he kissed my hair as I cried and screamed in utter hysterics.

"Our baby... Our sweet little baby... our son... our Christopher..."

"Our sweet little baby," He sniggled, "Our little boy,"

"Our boy. Our poor boy."

My tears and screams echoed across the room,

"It's okay. It's okay. So long as you're okay, so long as I will have you. I'm so sorry my darling, I know nothing will ever replace him but I have you and you have me, I promise I will help you through all of this I will keep you safe, I will protect you, I love you so much and no matter what I love you and our baby boy. You and I will hold him in our hearts forever."

"I know... I know... I love you too... we'll love our sweet little boy, Our little Christopher."

"Our little Christopher." he nodded,

We held our baby close giving him kisses and sweet cuddles until the nurse returned,

"Can I take him?" she asked,

"No... No. You can't take him. Please. Please you can't take him. Please please nooo..." I begged,

"Just another moment please," Benny begged,

"We will take care of him we promise," she explained, as she came closer and slowly removed the baby from me no matter how much I cried and screamed, Benny held me tightly trying to soothe me,

"Nooooooo Please! Give back our baby Please!" I begged but she took him away, Benny held me tightly and kissed my hair as he slowly calmed me until the nurse returned,

"Are you ready for the good news?" The nurse asked,

I nodded hardly able to focus,

"You had twins. and the baby girl survived," she said, she left a moment and returned with a small wrapped baby girl that she brought over to us letting me take her in my arms, she left and Benny happily hugged me tightly as we held our baby girl in our arms fighting back our joyful tears.

"Our girl... Our little girl..."

"Our sweet little baby girl," He smiled, "I love her already,"

"I do too, Our little Christine."

"Christine, Our little Christine Watts our little daughter."

"Our little daughter." I cooed, "Our angel,"

"Our angel." He smiled giving her head a little kiss, "Our sweet angel, I swear you to Y/n, I will protect our daughter, and you with my life. I swear."

"as will I." I nodded, "I swear it. I don't think the pain... will ever go away about our son, but I can rejoice... with our daughter."

"We can, and no matter what I will love you, and her endlessly." He kissed my head,

"I will love you and her endlessly Benny," I smiled giving him a soft kiss.

I sat in the chair my body felt numb, my mind a million miles away as I stared at the box kept on our shelf in the most beautiful of places beside a white rose, where Christopher will rest eternally I felt so hollow about everything I suppose that's why its called postpartum depression even without my grief for Christopher, but I perked up and turned to see a adorable sight,

"Who's daddies little girl? hu? yeah, daddies special little angel." Benny cooed as he held Christina in his arms sitting her on his lap as he plaid chess letting her suck on the pieces he kissed her Y/h/c hair and tickled her nose making her brown eyes open as she giggles away, "Yeah? that's a king. Daddy is a king. Daddies the king of the house, that's the queen mummies the queen, and our sweet little angel is our little chess princess. Yes, yes you are. Daddy's beautiful little chess princess, daddies smart little girl." he cooed, and I couldn't hold back my smile and gentle tears. "Y/n? What's the matter?"

"Nothing... I love you so much Benny," I cooed as I got up and kissed his head,

"I love you too Y/n," he smiled, "You love mummy Christina? you love mummy?"

"I love her very much," I smiled kissing her little head,

"she loves you too I'm sure of it, I love you too Christina, you love Daddy?"

"I'm sure she does," I smiled giving him a soft kiss before all three of us cuddled up in a big cozy hug.

Nick 40 x reader 24

Reader is pregnant and Nick is very protective of her because he’s actually scared and nervous to become a father and doesn’t want to let her down because he’s a failure in his opinion.

Angst fluff?

Oh My God

I was feeling sick the past week so I called Misty, she is one of the only people who will keep what we talk about quiet.

"you are prego" she said

"no I can't be" I said

"why not?" she chuckled

"well I guess I could" I smiled

"go get a test"

It sat on the counter as I heard the front door open, I flipped Pregnant I smiled widely "Nick!" I called him. He came in the bathroom "you okay?" I nodded "better than okay!" I put my hands on his hips "i'm pregnant!" I smiled "what?" he slightly smiled "really!" I handed him the test his slight smile dropped "your not happy?" "no no baby i'm happy" he smiled and hugged me "I can't wait!"

---- Month One----

I was deep cleaning the house and moving our stuff out of the spare room to other places or the trash to get it ready for the baby. I picked up a box walking it to the garage, Nick must how just got home cause he pretty much ran to me taking the box from me "what are you doing you can't lift that" he said "it's fine i'm not that big" "no no I got it" "thanks" I smiled "go watch TV i'll finish the room" "no it's-" "go watch your show" "love you" I kissed him "love you".

"I need a fight or something" I hear Nick say on the phone and went and stood in the doorway

He turned to me "oh I gotta go" he said "who was that?" I asked "no one" "Nick?" "my manager" "I thought we said you aren't gonna fight" "we're gonna have a baby we need money" "we have plenty of money Nicky we'll be fine" I wrapped my arms around him "i jus-" "shh we're good" I kissed him.

---- Month Two ----

I sat tying my running shoes "where you going?" Nick asked "Misty wants to go for a run with the kids" I replied "can you do that?!" "yeah baby people do it all the and it's not really a run it's more of a jog" "well I don't- be careful she doesn't know your pregnant so don't ru-" I straddled his waist "i'll be fine I promise, you worry to much bubba" I cupped his cheeks and kissed him "I don't want you to get hurt" I kissed his forehead "I won't".

---- Month Three ----

Nate was all about filming the whole gender reveal, which me and Nick were fine with. "say who you are and what you think it's gonna be?" Nate said "okay" I nodded "hi i'm your mom and I think your a boy" "i'm your dad I think your a girl".

| Nicks POV |

I hoped it was a girl i felt so much pressure becoming a dad, but being a dad to a boy adds a whole new pressure. I was so nervous, I failed being a fighter failed at a alot in my life in my opinion. "you okay baby?" she asked as I sat at one of tables drinking a beer "yeah!" I smiled "we're gonna find out in a bit" she smiled widely "sit while we wait" she sat on my lap.

"okay you ready?!" Misty asked with a huge smile being the only one to know what we were having "yes!" Y/n hopped up grabbing my hand. We both popped the confetti a baby blue, she jumped up and down with a smile. I smiled and hugged her "Nickolas jr?" she whispered I nodded and kissed her cheek.

"you're finally gonna have a boy to hang out with!" Y/n said holding Nate jr while sitting at a table with some guys from the gym and Nina, I sat at a table next to they'res "you happy?" Nina asked her "very very happy" "Nick?" "we'll talk about that later".

---- Month Four ----

"i don't know if I want to do Blue what do you think?" I asked my laptop resting on my thighs "whatever you think" he said not looking away from the TV I sighed and shook my head. my phone started to ring Melissa

"hi!" I said

"I want to take you and Nick shopping Nina too"

"oh no you guys don't have to do that" I closed my laptop

"I want to! both of you get ready"

"o-okay"

"two hours?"

"thats good bye"

"bye"

"your mom and sister want to go shopping, get ready" I said getting up "no you just go" I sighed "I wanted to get a crib" "go for it baby my wallets on the dining table" I sighed "nick?" "what?" he finally looked at me "will you please come!" "go have a girls day or whatever" "No! I don't want a girls day! get up and dressed!" "it's not that serious" "it is! it's like you don't care you haven't helped with his room or shopped or even talked about it! it pisses me off so go get ready".

Nick great uncle your gonna be 10x that being a dad...your just a little scared thats okay" she rubbed my shoulders "I feel like i'm a little more than scared" "if you called anyone who has a kids they're gonna tell you they were scared. i'm scared too nothing you can do about it," she smiled and shrugged "your best dad Nicky" she pecked my lips.

I opened her door "you got him to come!" my mom said making Y/n nod "yeah took a while", my sister pushed me as we both sat in the back "you okay?" she mouthed I nodded. "what color do you guys want?" Nina asked "um I don't know i'm not really feeling blue" Y/n said "can we do green like tree green or whatever" Y/n smiled and nodded.

---- Month Five ----

I walked in Nicks room she was painting his wall in her shorts and sports bra "I was gonna do that when I got back" "I know I couldn't wait" "sit down I'll finish and I got your ice cream" she smiled coming over and taking the spoon with the pint of ice cream "thank you!" she kissed me then sat on the rocking chair.

"thank you for helping" she said "don't have to say thank you" "you've been helping a lot shopping and stuff too," I nodded and kept painting "your still thinking about something though" "its nothing to stress about" "I won't stress I just want to make sure your okay" I sighed "y/n i've failed at a lot fighting and stuff....I don't think I deserve all this....i'm worried it's gonna be to much" I could feel tears in my eyes she wrapped her arms around me from behind "Nicky you deserve more," she put her hand under my shirt then kissed my shoulder blade "i'd give you a better hug but your sons in the way" she whispered I chuckled and turned in her hold. She cupped my face "your gonna be an awesome dad I mean come on your Nick Diaz" she smiled making me chuckle again she pulled me down and kissed me.

Gathering Updates:

The story is going through a major rewrite as now that I have figured out how to write not only the characters better but mechanically better as well I am going to start doing a major rewrite to the story. Starting soon. In the meantime Here is the breakdown of characters as now they’re are fully solidified:

Note*I am consolidating the power system for the magic users to just magic or Psionics. Psionics work similar to the X-gene from X-men. each one manifests a unique power set per person who has them.

Connor Yeong

The Reader’s perspective and everyone’s favorite Psionic. The token Jeskai Player, and adopted Korean Welsh American guy who resides in NYC with his best friend Dexter (Who was what Nate evolved into). Connor’s Signature Deck: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/qECnN-0yPE69e57AaZtLKw

Dexter Brave Eagle Duseev

The Temur inspired Native American (Inuit) and Siberian. He is a Psionic who’s ability is Energy blasts that can take various forms and sizes. Signature Deck: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/fSdHmgFzlUqpgZMHy1mG0g

Theodore “TJ” Sobek Moore Jr.

The Sultai living and breathing high roller himself. He is African American and acts as the narrator. His Psionic Power is a secret because it’s funny. He also does not have a signature deck at the begining of the story as he builds it piece by piece through his friends.

for all of the one or two fans of this series I really wanted to do something I both enjoyed but was also learning from and with where the previous one was going I didn’t really like it so to do something more focused. which is funny because How I write is extremely close to how I deck build, which in this context means. I rush a draft grow to hate it then see the good points andwork on making it better so hopefully this one reflects that.

I’ve also considered thoughts of inserting Sage into other continuities, like so.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: For this to work in my opinion, Sage would have to replace Robotnik, Jr., and unlike that kid robot, who immediately got Robotnik's approval before they had a falling out, I can imagine that Sage would initially disappoint her father with her sensible attitude before she ultimately showed just how loyal and protective she is of him. They'd continue to work together in opposing Sonic and keeping Mama Robotnik away from them, but I can see Sage trying to be supportive of all her Badnik siblings to the point of playing matchmaker between Breezie and Sonic and actually considering that succeeding her victory when Robotnik's own plan failed. She'll might try to make a healthy romance between her Dad and Katella, too.

Archie Sonic: Discounting the similar-looking Phage from the reboot, both Robotnik Prime (King Gong and E.V.E.) and Robo-Robotnik/Eggman (Mecha and A.D.A.M.) each had an artificial son and daughter respectively. For Sage to play a role, I think she has to be around even before Julian Kintobor was tried for treason by the Overland. I can see Julian slowly yet surely coming to confide in Sage about his frustrations with the family and society he was born into and how he doesn't even like his own birth name, which they would share a laugh about since while Sage likes "Julian," she sees no etymological sense in "Kintobor." When Julian is then arrested and tried by his own older brother, Sage works with the still loyal Snively to break Julian and intentionally directs them both to seek asylum with the Kingdom of Acorn upon learning of the connection King Maximilian had with Julian's scientific mentor, Nate Morgan. As the years pass by, and Julian becomes Doctor Ivo Robotnik, Sage would be seen as his treasured heiress, even as she speaks in Snively's defense among others, and actually helps her cousin be kept up to date on the younger Hope Kintobor.

Sonic the Comic: This Robotnik didn't create a robotic child as far as I know, but I can see Commander Brutus, whose mind was based on his creator's brain patterns, being replaced with Sage who advises more of a handed than fisted rule before ultimately deciding that her father should rule with fear of force whether than force itself all for the sake of keeping the Robotnik Empire intact. Robotnik would still fall from power, but I can see him having a slightly better last Christmas in power with Sage by his side.

Sonic Underground: Replacing A.R.T., Sage would serve her creator to the best of her ability, yet would become distracted upon the Hedgehogs introducing her to music before ultimately remaining loyal to Robotnik.

Sonic Boom: Depending on the time, I can imagine Sage being around as far as the first episode, or until the episode Mombot would have debuted in. Either way, I can imagine that just as she would be supportive of her large family in its entirety, Eggman would work hard in either building a version of the Copybots from Mega Man Battle Network just for Sage, or unlocking the solid hologram code as science fiction sometimes depicts.

Sonic the Hedgehog: The Animated Series: It would have to mean replacing Cluck the pet, but I can indeed see Sage still being the apple of her father's eye and her relationship with Snively would turn sour as he starts to call Robotnik names under his breath and ultimately betrays him, even though she initially sympathized with him for the abuse he got.

Sonic X: Depending on how it would go, Sage would have to be either in Bokkun's place or be his responsible sister, but I think it would work out between her and Eggman, still.

Paramount Sonic: The movies as I see them, would have Sage be Robotnik's developing "JARVIS" to his evil "Tony Stark."

Sonic Prime: Probably just a brief cameo before everything shatters.

No ideas for the OVA, the non-translated works, or some other minor materials.

Any thoughts?

These are all pretty well thought out and unique takes on incorporating Sage into their respective continuities. I particularly like the idea of Sage being a black sheep in her 'family' for the simple fact that she's the sole member of the family with any kind of sense.

So I was just over here thinking - as I do once a week or so - about how Robert Tanaka Jr. is OBVIOUSLY Bobby Drake’s kid, and Opal lied about lying about Bobby being his dad. You will never ever ever convince me otherwise so Marvel should just not try and go ahead and canonize it instead. Duh.

Anyway, so I was combining this thought with the fact that we’ve gotten ZERO follow-up yet to Bobby’s dad dying, and like....the way that has to be fucking with Bobby given their long, contentious history and how much Bobby’s struggled with seeking his father’s approval his whole life only to be denied it in the most epic ‘fuck you’ fashion on his dad’s literal deathbed.

And see, personally, I’ve always thought that more than longing to be in an actual long-lasting relationship, Bobby’s big want has always been a family, so to speak. This is a man who has been auditioning for World’s Corniest Dad Jokes since he was in college. He dotes on kids. He loves being a role model while being deeply insecure that he’s bad at it. He gravitates towards every kid his friends or family has like a heat-seeking missile, like when Scott and Jean were dealing with their whole ‘omg I can’t believe you married another me and had a baby while I was dead’ and ‘but you were DEAD and she was basically you doesn’t that make it better’ and ‘no that makes it worse! I think. No yeah that’s worse!’ thing....there was fun Uncle Bobby eager to swoop in and scoop baby Christopher up in a stroller for a hijinks filled afternoon about town.

I mean, its no coincidence that even back when Bobby first found out about RJ and thought he wasn’t his dad, he very explicitly said he never cared and would have stayed with him and Opal anyway.

So I’m just saying, what better way to finally break Bobby out of the trap of desperately seeking to conform to his dad’s confining expectations for him and what his life should look like.....than to have Bobby embark on a new chapter of his life that’s about him having and building the kind of family he’s always yearned to have....while giving zero fucks about it looking anything like what his father would have approved of or signed off on as acceptably ‘normal’?

Sometimes a family can be a dorky gay dad, his ex-girlfriend and co-parent, and their precocious son and all his assorted X-Men aunts and uncles (and time-traveling cousins like Nate and Rachel, lol).

I just think there’s really interesting stories that could be told about Robert Tanaka-Drake, if he were to manifest his father’s powers and be raised with one foot firmly in both his parents’ worlds, both on Krakoa and off it, equally entrenched in his human and mutant heritages, his father’s Jewish heritage and his mother’s Japanese heritage, shared custody made all the easier and more seamless thanks to the ease of gate travel between both his parents’ homes....let Bobby and Opal be partners in this on good terms, so that RJ spends his birthdays with both sides of his families, his parents and their respective boyfriends all gathered to celebrate together instead of him having to alternate, etc, etc.

Plus, if you have RJ inherit Bobby’s powers there’s REALLY interesting explorations you can do of what a difference parenting makes in how comfortable young mutants are with their powers and the things they can do. There’s a definite case to be made that Bobby - famously ‘stunted’ in his power development according to pretty much every single one of his stories - like, realistically, there’s a very strong argument that Bobby was hindered from day one by the fact that both his parents and his surrogate father figure Xavier, like, ALL actively encouraged him to doubt himself rather than to push forward with his development.

Xavier’s explicitly stated in notes about Bobby as a teenager that he didn’t think Bobby was mature or capable enough to handle the responsibility of the vast power at his disposal, with the clear implication always being that he actually discouraged Bobby from pushing his limits. Its not a coincidence IMO that all the major developments Bobby’s made with his powers over the years....all of them came AFTER he stopped being the Professor’s student, or when Xavier was nowhere around. Xavier never did crap to actually help Bobby push himself or see what he was capable of. And of course, we know his parents wanted him to never ever use his powers and pretend he didn’t even have them, for their own comfort.

All of this lends itself really well to stories about the capacity older generations have to not just help younger generations improve on what they’ve already done and do better than them....but to stand in their way and hamper their attempts to be their best selves, if they feel threatened by said younger generations or fear being replaced or rendered obsolete by them.

Soooo...with that in mind....how interesting could it be to see this long-established element of Bobby’s character arc juxtaposed with his son’s comparative speedrun through power development milestones? If Bobby and Opal - determined not to stand in RJ’s way the way adults got in Bobby’s - are nothing but supportive and encouraging of RJ’s exploration of his powers, imagine if this kid with Bobby’s abilities just.....fucking...leapfrogs past all his father’s achievements and is ten years old and doing things that have his father desperately trying to figure out how he did that just so he can keep up.....

And Bobby couldn’t be prouder!

I mean, because we’re talking about Bobby Drake here, its important to note the huuuuuuge comedic potential here. Let this newly minted father be frazzled and going out of his fucking mind trying to keep a suitably responsible and parental eye on his prodigious progeny.....like let’s take a second to review Bobby’s actual abilities and what weapons for mass chaos they could be in the hands of say, an eight year old who’s high on parental love, approval and affirmation, and not to mention the proud inheritor of his father’s tendencies towards mischief as well as his powerset:

There’s the teleportation for one....Bobby doesn’t LIKE teleporting. Turning to vapor makes him feel weird and gives him existential crises about disappearing and fading away to nothing, like all his fears of being unimportant given actionable form. RJ however? Just thinks its neat being able to pop over to the other side of the world at any given moment. Who needs to use gates when you can just wisp away to nothingness and recreate yourself from scratch on Arakko any time you want to go visit your Auntie O?

Cue Bobby frantically practicing his teleporting all hours of the night, just so he can keep up with his giggling menace of a son every time he decides to play an impromptu game of teleport tag with his father, where the playing field is limited only by the scope and range of their omega level powers....oh wait, what’s that pesky little detail about omegas not having limits? Ooops.

Then there are the ice golems. Imagine Bobby trying to make sure he’s always got a golem around to keep an eye on RJ....which works great until the day RJ figures out how to make his own, and suddenly its like wait, does Bobby’s golem have eyes on RJ...or just on one of RJ’s own golems? Next thing the X-Men know, there are twenty different Icemen running around chasing after twenty different Iceboys and none of them have any clue which are the ‘real’ Bobby and RJ, but then again, neither does Bobby at this point.

Imagine Bobby and Opal getting called into the principal’s office at RJ’s school where they’re informed that while the school doesn’t want to suggest that mutant students be prohibited from harmlessly using their powers, and if RJ is most comfortable in his ice form he should certainly be allowed to stay in it.....they do have to insist that RJ actually be PRESENT in his ice form, and not just sit one of his golems in class while the real RJ is off playing hooky.

Bobby: I know I’m supposed to be upset but I can still be a little bit proud of him for pulling that off, can’t I?

Not to mention that little tidbit brought up in Battle for the Atom, where its revealed that in the future Bobby figures out how to create golems that have their own innate sentience that’s completely separate from his own, rather than just being extensions of himself.....

Cut to RJ making his imaginary friends be not so imaginary after all, just housed in various elemental ‘bodies’ made of ice and snow, water and vapor, etc.

And just imagine the epic face palming - and farewell to ever getting another restful night of sleep - once RJ figures out that as his father’s son, he is basically just as indestructible as his dad is. The heart attacks this kid would give his parents once he decides well its not like he even needs to be THAT careful on his grand misadventures, cuz worst case scenario he just makes himself a new body if his gets messed up at all.

Bobby: No, buddy, that is a terrible train of thought, please let’s sit down and unpack that before you go and....no, don’t you dare teleport away, RJ, you get your butt back here right now! And no, a golem doesn’t count, I want your REAL tushie in this seat within the next ten seconds or so help me, I will....

Opal: You’ll what, Bobby? No, by all means, please continue. I’m really curious what card we actually have available to play here.

Bobby: Why do I get the feeling you think this is all my fault somehow? What happened to ‘we’re a team’?

Opal: I’m just saying, our eight year old didn’t get the god-tier powers from me.

Bobby, banging his head softly against the table: Ugh who knew that encouraging your kid to be his best self could have consequences.
