Aegis 3.0

[Wyosch]

Jim closed his eyes, enjoying Rachel stroking through his hair, almost letting out a purr or two.
"Could've reached nothing without you.", he replied, a happy smile on his face as he poked her nosetip with his.
"Oh baby, I love you so much...", he mumbled, softly stroking over her cheek.
"Oh- I almost forgot! Wait!", he got up with a soft chuckle and gave Rachel a grin.
"I'll be right back!", and he excitedly left the living room.

"Y-you could help Ted get healthy again?", Tyler asked, blinking a couple of times. "But how?"
As Raven held out a spoon to him, he smiled softly, sitting back on the bed and taking it with a thankful nod.
"Well I must say this is truly an honor, mylady.", he winked, scooping some ice out of the bucket and stuffing it into his mouth.
"I love ice cream. And you."

Emily nodded, trotting after Ash.
"I'm really excited, honey. And I know it'll be just perfect.", she replied, smiling proudly at him as she shifted human again.
"I still can't believe you built the house all on your own to make it extra perfect. You're so sweet."

"And you thought that wouldn't be important to tell me?", Cole asked, clearly unamused that Bailey had kept such big things from him. He told her everything about his life, and now it seemed that she didn't.
He just shook his head, sighing.
"I'll come with you. And, eh...are you planning to rip her to shreds or why are you shifting? I mean, I believe talking to her in person will be better to persuade her than to scare her with your claws, no?"
Cole just took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down a bit. Sure, she probably had her reasons for not telling him, but he did have the right to feel hurt because of it.
"Let's just get this over with then."

"But-", Emma looked up at Sam with big eyes, sighing silently. She usually was too proud to admit that she had made mistake, but this was far more important than anything else right now.
"How should I make them forgive me then? After all I said... how should they forgive me again? I mean I really behaved like a bitch..."

 

[Scripted Away]

Rachel smirked softly as she watched jim walk off, wuickly got a paper from the table, a pen out of the next drawer, and scribbled a little note for Jim. Grinning slightly.
You stole my heart.
But I got my revenge.
I took your last name. (;
Smiling lovingly, she put it where he had sat before, and just listened closely if she could hear him somewhere, and maybe guess what he was doing.
"Holy crap that guy is...awesome...!", She sighed like some crushing girl, slumping down on the couch with a stupid grin while she dreamed of her husband.
Yeah, he definitely was the best thing that has ever happened to her. So cute. And sweet. And handsome. And clever. And brave and caring and-
Am I drooling?
Just amazing...and damn, she would never stop loving this guy. Ever.

Raven smiled lovingly as she planted a small kiss on Tyler's cheek before she scooped some ice cream out of the bucket as well, pulled up her knees and leaned against his side.
"I love you too, Eilde. And, Well, actually, i can heal him in two ways", she explained. "Option one: I reverse time for his body, and make his cancer disappear. Depending on how long he already has it though,that could make him years younger, and leave gaps in his memory, since he would've never had made those memories regarding his illness. Keeping up?"
She knew that this time playing stuff could be really complicated sometimes,and hard to understand, so she just hoped she had explained it good enough.
"Well, and the second option would be to turn him. Direct blood contact turns a human, weaker anoms and lesser demons into a vampire. He'd have to learn to control the bloodthirst then, though."
Lifting her shoulders, she gently kissed Tyler's shoulder, smiling at him reassuringly, before she smirked softly.
"You know, I love how, although we're together now, that friendship we had before hasn't vanished. I mean, it's pretty damn cool that my boyfriend is also my best friend. Partner in crime and the best police partner someone could ever hope for."

Ash just smiled up at Emily, slightly wagging his tail as he imagined her reaction to their house.
"I'm telling you, those stairs almost drove me insane, but the worst was making the floors. Jeez!"
He chuckled softly.
"Had to start all over two times because I had miscalculated the height of the bedding and the flooring in relation to the distance from the finished flooring to the doorways."

"Haven't shifted in over a year, I'm just getting warmed up to defend myself", Bailey mumbled silently. "You don't want to mess with the Spanish mafia without a bunch of knives at hand. Or a shift in 0.1 seconds."
Sighing sadly, she shifted back, and looked up at Cole with a kind of broken gaze.
"I- listen it's... I know you're pissed, okay? I know I should've told you, but to be honest... All I want is to forget. It's not even the memory itself... It's that expression of pity on the faces of the ones who hear about what had happened.
The way they start handling you with kid gloves, as if I would break apart any second. You didn't. You saw me, for real, and treated me like a normal person, and I just didn't want to-... I couldn't lose that."
Sighing sadly once more, she carefully leaned her forehead against Cole's chest for a minute, before she looked up at him with sad puppy eyes.
"I'm sorry, Cole... it wasn't fair... You told me everything, no matter how painful it was for you. I should've done the same. Can- can we make peace about this, baby?"

"Yeah you did", Sam said bluntly.
Well, it was how it was, and what was the use of soft talking this?
"Take the initiative", he mumbled gently. "Admit your mistakes. Apologize. Explain yourself. And then just hope this can still be fixed."
With a small, loving smile, he gently gave Emma a careful hug and kissed her forehead. "I believe in you, honey. You can do this."

 

[Wyosch]

Jim came back after some time, carrying a plate with... something on it.
He put it down on the table, smirking akwardly.
"I baked you this cake. It's supposed to look like a wolf but eh... something went a little wrong.", he explained, embarrassingly running his hand through his hair.
Yes, he could cook - but baking... oh god no. He couldn't even bake cookies. And as it seems, neither cakes.
Just before he wanted to sit down on the couch again, he noticed the small note with writing on it. He turned to Rachel, raised an eyebrow, and picked it up, a soft smile appearing on his face as he read what was written on it.
"And I am glad you did.", he replied, quickly giving her a kiss on her cheek before he sat down again, putting the small note in the backpocket of his pants.
"I love you."

"He's been battling cancer for years now... if you would reverse time, he would be 19 again - and not remember me.", Tyler mumbled sadly, shaking his head. "Maybe he'll want to turn into a vampire then...?"
He thought a bit more for a moment, taking into consideration that Ted was in his final stage now, and that he had probably already made peace with dying...
Tyler grinned softly as Raven said all those sweet things, putting his hand on her legs and softly stroking them.
"You know what my mom always told me? 'Don't marry the person you want to live with. Marry the person you couldn't live without.' I know she talks about, but I feel the same about you. It probably sounds really weird, but I really couldn't live without you anymore. You're such a big part of my life, of me - and if you'd leave, there'd be nothing left."

Emily chuckled as well, shaking her head with a big smile on her face.
"I still can't believe that you went through all of that, and especially me being moody and grumpy when you came home again, just to build the absolute perfect house. If you were human right now, I would kiss your entire face."
She winked, already trying to imagine what their house would look like. Ash had shown her a picture of the outside from the house, but not from inside. She was so curious as to how the bedrooms would look and the kitchen and living room and just everything.

"Yes, I'm pissed.", Cole replied, shaking his head with a disappointed expression in his eyes. "I told you everything, no matter how much I want to forget it or how painful it was. And you know why? Because I trust you and because one doesn't have secrets for their partner. And now you suddenly tell me all about your biological mother, about having a shift and about what your mom made you do when you were eight or so. No wonder that I am asking myself if there is more you didn't tell me."
Cole just shook his head once more, sighing.
"And I'm not buying that 'I was scared you'd treat me differently'. You know me well enough that I won't treat people differently because of what happened to them. I treat them how they treat me. And the only explanation that makes sense is that you don't trust me enough to tell me things - and that hurts."
He looked away for a moment, trying to calm himself a bit down so his eyes would stop showing a burning forest. Some rain or storm instead, but no fire. No need to burn down everything because Bailey had disappointed him. Or well, not really disappointed. Hurt. That was the expression that fitted.
"Fine, you apologized. It's okay. Just give me some time until I can be all rainbows and sparkles again. Let's just go to your mother and then home. I just want to get this over with quickly."

Emma nodded at Sam, looking up at him with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry you saw me like that.", she mumbled, smiling sadly. "And thank you for coming back."
She stroke over his arm for a moment, already trying to imagine how the talk between her, Emily and Ash would go, coming up with stuff she should say and imagining what they would say.
"You think it can still be fixed?"

 

[Scripted Away]

Rachel let out a long "awwwww!" As she saw the cake Jim had baked for her, and giggled softly as she leaned against his side when he sat down again.
"I love it, it's so cute, honey! This is almost too great to eat it."
She just quickly took out her phone and made a picture of the cake, so she'd always have it with her- just in a slightly more portable way- and gently wrapped her arm around Jim's waist, watching the cake for a bit longer.
"It's the extremely rare Montana forest wolf, an almost extinct subspecies that is specialised on hunting white chocolate bunnies and sugar sprinkle hedgehogs. Sadly, it has been almost hunted to Extinction by humanities' most merciless candy-killers: the sweet tooth gang!"
Chuckling softly, she winked at Jim.
"Thank you, honey. And, if it makes you feel less embarrassed: I think this is far cuter than a perfect wolf-cake."

"I know that feeling", Raven whispered with a loving smile as she kissed Tyler's chest.
"I always wondered how someone couldn't live without someone else. I mean, I'm really not that kind of person who gets attached easily. But then I met you and I was over."
She sighed happily as she lay down, using Tyler's legs as a pillow, and looked up at him with big, sparkling eyes.
This guy there.
He was her future. The only future she wanted to have.
"Hey eh, there's something I still have to tell you. Because, I mean, it's no big deal or so, but I don't want you to think I'm keeping secrets from you. Remember the CD we listened to last time we were on field service? Lacrymosa? Kind of alternative-rock-emo-thing? Weeeeell... that was me and my band. And that was our first tape. Heh."

As just smiled nervously as he shifted human again to unlock the entrance door, upon arriving at the house.
"Okay, close your eyes", he said smiling, and gently covered her eyes with his hands from behind, carefully leading her into the living room.
"I figured we really needed a fireplace. I don't know about you, but there's just nothing more cozy than curling up in front of a fire now and then.
The TV there fell on my head when I tried to attach it to the wall. Twice. And then it fell on my foot."
Laughing softly, he shrugged. "I'm glad so many of our family have healing abilities. And in those vitrines there were have plenty of space for photos and other things."
With a nervous smile, he looked at Emily. "And? What do you think?"

"Wow wow wow wait, I did tell you that I have a tiger shift!", Bailey protested frowning, but then just let her head hang down and turned away from Cole.
"And we both know that fear is not rational. You don't sit down and reflect the forth and back of the sense behind your fear. Missed that out in psychology classes or what?"
When suddenly, the walls and ceiling slowly gained fraks and started to frumble, Bailey looked around in fear.
"Oh no, bad luck!", She coughed, before she teleported away as quickly as possible to make sure nobody would get hurt.
Appearing again in a forest, she looked around panically. Here she shouldn't be able to hurt others with her bad luck effect.
At least until a tree almost fell right on her, the branches leaving a bunch of bad scratches and bruises on her face.
This wasn't safe either.
Slowly losing her self-control to growning fear of her own ability,she teleported without setting a destination, and Soo found herself standing on a cliff-
When it crumbled and broke, leaving Bailey to hang there, desperately digging her fingers into the, from the rain slowly becoming slippery, ground, under her nothing but the merciless, raging ocean.
If she would call for help...someone else would get in danger, and if she wouldn't, she would fall, killing her unborn baby and Cole along the way. Her telporting was failing right now as well, thanks to bad luck, And calming down was no fucking option right now.
"I'm sorry-", she whispered with tears running down her cheeks as her fingers slowly tired and started to slip...

"Of course I came back, honey", Sam said with a loving smile, gently stroking through Emma's hair.
"I needed a moment alone to take a breath, but of course I didn't just leave my wife and my little fairy here alone."
As he thought about Ash and Emily, he slightly lifted his shoulders.
"Well, Ash will for sure give you a chance. I heard him say that he wanted to try to talk to you once more. Emily, well-"
He sighed silently.
"You know how emotional she is. Stopping an erupting volcano will probably be easier. Nonetheless, you should try, honey. She is our daughter."

 

[Wyosch]

Jim smirked softly as Rachel started making up a story about the 'wolf' he had baked, kissing her cheek when she said that she liked this better than if it indeed looked like a wolf.
"I really don't get how people make those super pretty cakes. I mean- look.", he motioned at his own cake, chuckling.
"I'm just really glad that you like it, even though it looks more... like nothing. I hope it tastes good.", he took out two forks that he had brought along, smiling. "Want me to take the first bite? To make sure it's not poisonous?"

"You have a band?", Tyler asked, raising an eyebrow at her, just looking at her for a moment. The music had been good, but Tyler wasn't really a big fan of people in the music industry - especially because his first ex had been a singer too, and had cheated on him with every producer, band member and fan she could lay her hands on. That of course left its marks.
"I liked the CD. What was that one song again... ah I don't remember, was more focusing on you than the music, but still. It was great.", he smiled softly at her, nodding. "So Lacrymosa? Any meaning behind that song?"

Emily looked at the living room with big eyes, gasping.
"Oh my god- Ash!", she turned to him with a soft grin on her face, pulling him into a tight hug and kissing him deeply.
"This is beautiful! I love the fireplace! And the furniture and the colors and - everything! I didn't even know a room could be this pretty!"
She giggled excitedly, biting her lip while she looked at her fiancé with sparkling eyes.
"Show me the rest!"

Something caught Bailey just as she started slipping, flying her over to a meadow where it gently put her down - shifting into Cole afterwards.
"Are you out of your mind!?", he yelled, tears rolling down his cheeks as he looked at her, total disbelief in his eyes.
"You just wanted to kill yourself!? With me and the baby?! Don't I mean nothing to you!?"
His eyes were showing huge waves that caused floodings, he himself was shaking and his veins were slightly glowing.
"What if I had been too late, hm?! You'd be gone - the baby'd be gone - I'd be gone! Is that what you want!?"
He painfully clenched his teeth together before he kneeled down in front of Bailey, gently touching her cheek to heal the bad bruises and cuts - and so he could try to calm down himself.
"So I'm not allowed to be mad at you for keeping things from me or you'll try to kill yourself? Well that's great. How is someone with anger issues supposed to just stay calm when there are things being kept from him!?"
He punched the muddy floor next to him, defeatedly leaning his head into Bailey's lap - sobbing.
"Why, Bailey? Why?! I've already lost someone important to me like this - I don't want to lose you either! I didn't even yell at you or anything. What should I do? What would I do if you were dead? Think of us, of our family... don't you want a future with me?", he asked, crying as hard as he had never even thought would be possible.
"I love you- and I don't want you to just give up like that... I never did either... I'm scared, baby! I'm scared to just lose everything I care about - and you know what that is? You! I only care about you. And you can't just- you can't just... you can't just try to k-k-ki-..."

"Ash? Ash said he would want to talk to me again?", Emma repeated, quite surprised. After all she had said about him, she had thought he would be the one not wanting to try again.
"Why is Emily such a complicated person?", she mumbled thoughtfully, already trying to come up with the correct chosen words to talk to her daughter.
"Will you be there when I apologize?"

 

[Scripted Away]

"well, if you want it to have a certain shape, you need something to make it staying that shape when you bake it, you know?", Rachel explained winking. "Also, it would be unfair if you could bake super pretty cakes. You can already cook better than me! i suck at cooking, but I'm great at baking."
Grinning, she took one of the forks Jim had brought along and bravely took the first bite.
"This tastes like my childhood favorite chocolate!", She said with a surprised chuckle.
"Loving it! You need to give me the receipt."

"Yeah well, we're just playing on a few events like festivals or so, nothing big",Raven explained with a slightly awkward smile.
"It's not like we're famous or anything like that, but we all enjoy making music together and so it became our hobby."
As Tyler asked about lacrymosa, she just lifted her shoulders.
It's a bit of a wordplay. The band name came from mashing up 'lachrymose'- meaning 'moving' and the Latin 'lacrima' meaning 'tear'."
She smirked awkwardly. "We're all a bit emo. Well and the song you heard in the car, 'imperfection'- It's basically about... All the mistakes and the wrong in the world and me still never giving up to fight for it to become a better place because in the end... i guess i love this world."

"Alrighty, let's see the kids rooms at first", Ash said with a nervous grin as he stopped in front of a door spelling 'Benny' and a door spelling 'Jas'.
"So, I figured if our kids are just a bit like us, they will spend all day playing outside, so I focused on making their bedroom beautiful and cozy places to sleep and chill", he explained. "And for rainy days I also built a play room at the end of the corridor that I will show you after these.
But for now-"
He swing the doors open, revealing two rooms. "So, the bedrooms- aaaand-"
As a third door swung open, he smirked proudly.
"The play room."

Bailey's fingers dug into Cole's back as she bent down and buried her face at his neck, tears streaming down her face like rivers.
"I- I didn't try-"
She didn't make it further and just pressed yet shivering body against his, seeking for comfort.
"I was trying to teleport to a place where my bad luck effect wouldn't endanger anyone, but-"
Oh god she had thought it would all be over now. The feeling when her fingers lost grip of the cliff still froze her heart in fear. She just hoped Cole could deactivate abilities near him like Sam, or they'd be in serious danger.
"I landed on a cliff instead and then it broke off and- I tried to pull myself up but it started to rain and the edge got slippery-"
Her voice was barely more than a panicked whimpering as she tried to push herself even tighter against Cole.
"I didn't try- I would never- had I stayed there the hospital would have collapsed. I just wanted to make sure everyone would be safe, but i teleported in the wrong place. And I said I'm sorry because I'm sorry...i- I never wanted to hurt you, but I did... And you can be as angry at me as you want, I'd never try to kill myself. I still want to grow old with you, and have another kid with you, and marry you, and- and- and love you forever..."

Sam lifted his shoulders with a soft smiel on his face.
"What can I say, Ash is probably the most mature of this entire family", he chuckled winking.
"He's a lot like his mother when it comes down to giving second chances. And third. And fourth. Seriously, as long as it is just he himself you are attacking, he would probably even forgive a bullet in the knee. What he can't forgive is hurting the people he cares about. And Emily, well-"
He scoffed silently, smiling softly as he winked at Emma.
"She's just like her mother."

 

[Wyosch]

"I made a form out of wood but it... kinda burned down.", Jim mumbled, chuckling akwardly. "I'll leave the baking up to you. I cook - you make desserts!", he winked, taking a bite himself too, surprisingly raising an eyebrow. From how the cake looked, he hadn't imagined it to taste good - but damn it did.
"Ask Hunter, she gave me this recipe when I asked her for one. Though maybe I should've asked her how to bake it."
He smiled lovingly, softly stroking over her cheek before he kissed her.
"Oh yeah, the next nine months until baby nr.8 arrives - you won't be doing anything in the household but telling me how to! I'll do the laundry, clean everything, make food, get the kids ready, take out the dogs, and whatever needs to be done. Okay? And I was thinking about giving you this bell you could ring whenever you'd need something and would want me to bring it to you. Like if you're craving food or want to go lie down in bed or anything else, yeah?"

"Mhm sounds good. I really like the idea behind the band's name.", Tyler replied, nodding. "So, who's in the band?", he asked with a soft smile - not wanting it to be too obvious that he was feeling anxious about it.
Even though Raven would probably understand his worries, he didn't want her to think he was some kind of possessive freak.
With both of his exes having cheated on him on multiple occasions, it was no surprise that he had troubles trusting others now. Not that he didn't trust Raven, on the contrary, he trusted her with his life - but no matter what his fears stayed.
"So you're not planning on making it big in the music industry?"

Emily gasped once more, blinking a couple of times in disbelief.
"Okay I'm definitely jealous of our kids. Look how awesome this is!", she cheered excitedly, a huge grin on her face as she happily jumped around in the room, checking every little detail - her eyes widening with every new thing she saw.
"It's so beautiful! And sweet! And perfect!"
She ran up into Ash's arms, hugging him tightly and kissing him deeply.
"You, Sir, are awesome!"

Cole knew it was a normal reaction to be mad when someone close committed suicide, or almost - or in this case if it looked a lot like it - and he also knew that it was really bad to keep the emotions inside instead of letting them all out, but he also knew that Bailey didn't really want to do what it looked like and that shouting at her would only make everything worse. So he just took a deep breath, freeing himself from Bailey's grip, softly pulling her down onto his lap where he could hug her tightly and hopefully comfort her better.
"Ssshht baby-", he mumbled softly, gently stroking over her back. He tried to steady his heartbeat and calm it down as much as possible, even if it was quite hard with himself still crying.
"Take some deep breaths, okay, baby? I'm here. You're here. We're here. Alive. And well. It's fine. It's fine."
He took some deep breaths, hoping she would do the same to help herself calm down, closing his eyes as he leaned his chin on her head.
"I love you, baby. No matter what. I love you. I want to marry you, raise our kids and grow old together. Okay? Okay, baby? I love you."

Emma smirked softly at Sam, holding out her free hand to him to invite him into a hug.
"Good that you're able to put up with me then.", she replied, winking, her eyes sparkling lovingly.
"Would you like to go home? The doc allowed me to. I just have to come back tomorrow for a checkup because of the C-section. Apparently it's quite rare for a woman to feel this quickly okay again after such an operation. Probably because of that unicorn in my life.", she winked, kissing Hope's little forehead.
"Can you just hold our little one then? I'll quickly freshen up in the shower."

 

[Scripted Away]

Rachel's face immediately changed from happy to completely horrified.
"Jim, I'm pregnant, not dead", she said with a raised eyebrow, shaking her head.
"Listen, I know what I can and what I can't do. And I won't go overboard on stuff, okay? But I won't lay around and do nothing for almost a year. And I don't need a bell- got telepathy, dummy."
Softly stroking over his cheek, she smiled lovingly at him and kissed his forehead.
"Don't worry too much for the baby and me, okay? We will all be perfectly fine, honey. And when I need your help with something- I'll immediately let you know. Promised."

Raven slightly tilted her head at what she believed was a very faint,anxious undertone in Tyler's voice.
"Well, there's me, of course- lead singer. Then there's my friend Chester- he's the background voice and bass guitarist. Gordon- electric guitar, Phil- drums. Garreth- Keyboard."
She shrugged.
"What can I say, always been better with huys than with gals."
As Tyler asked about going big in the music industry, Raven shook her head I determination, cuddling against Tyler with a happy sigh.
"Hell no, I'd miss kicking criminal butts with my beloved partner in crime. It's a hobby, not more. And it would totally get in the way of our future, so no thanks."

Smiling softly, Ash took Emily's hand and gently led her into the next room.
"And this...", He mumbled to her ear as he wrapped his arms around her from behind with a loving smile. "- is our room."
Softly kissing her shoulder, he cuddled against her.
"Made for comfy evenings and hot nights."

Bailey just pushed her face into Cole's chest, her whole body shaking as she sobbed into his shirt. Hard.
"I thought it would be all over now. I thought I would lose you and our baby, i-"
She just clenched her teeth, trying to stop crying.
She could have been dead. Their baby. Cole.
"I'm cold...", She whispered after a while, pushing herself tighter against Cole.
The tai had soaked her to the bones by now, and now that the adrenaline was starting to wear off, she felt like a word out, wet towel, dropped on the floor and forgotten there.
"Can we go home...?", She whispered silently, still with a deeply exhausted and miserable expression, but at least slightly calmer than before.
"And- I love you too. Both of you..."

"About that", Sam said with a soft smile, gently touched Emma's surgery wound and healed it in a matter of seconds.
"There you go. Tell the doc the unciorn striked again."
He chuckled softly, a loving smile appearing on his face as he softly ran his hand over Hope's tiny head before he carefully took her from Emma.
"Got the cutie, you go and freshen up, honey."

 

[Wyosch]

Jim slightly lowered his gaze, looking up at Rachel with big puppy eyes.
Of course he was worried! First normal pregnancy, thus even more to worry about!
"Promise me that you won't do... too much.", he mumbled softly, smiling at her as he stroke over cheek. "I'm just worried something like with Will might happen again. I'm not trying to forbid you of anything."

Tyler scoffed, an annoyed expression on his face as Raven cuddled against him, her not even seeming to mind that the situation was perfectly bad. No, he wasn't mad at her... he was jealous. Of course he was. Who wouldn't?
"You see your 'friends' a lot?", he asked, making some of the metal he could quickly find in the bedroom float above them, concentrating himself on not dropping it on top of him and Raven.
"Do you know any singer or band member who lived a long, happy, drugless and depressionless life, without any troubles in their relationships?", he asked after a moment of silence, leaning back in the bed so he could stare up at the floating metal and the ceiling.
"Well, I don't. And the chances of being cheated on when one is in a relationship with someone in a band is really high.", he mumbled annoyedly, a soft frown on his face.
Stupid Chester.
Stupid Gordon.
Stupid Phil.
Stupid Garreth.
"I've been cheated on. For years. Alyssa was a singer in a band. She was the only female. And you know what? She too told me she could work better with guys than with girls. And then I find out that she's been sleeping with every member of her band, with her producers and even fans. So, don't be surprised that I'm not particularly fond of this situation.", he explained, accidentally breaking his phone in two. He'd forgotten that he was playing around with that too. Maybe not the best idea to play around with metal when one's angry. Or whatever he was.
"I don't want to argue, or whatever, I'm just... I don't know. Both of my exes have cheated on me with anyone they could find, and that fear doesn't just disappear - especially when your hot girlfriend tells you that she's in a band with ONLY guys. How would you feel in my place? I'm scared. And mad. And... and scared."
He sighed silently, by now a sad expression on his face.
"...we got any cookies left?"

Emily's eyes widened as she saw their room, pulling up her hand to her mouth to cover her excited squealing.
"Oh. My. God. ASH! This is beautiful!"
She happily turned herself around so she could kiss him once more, grinning excitedly.
"It's so beautiful and it looks so comfy and I love the colors and how you put so much effort into getting the smallest details right and ahhh you're so awesome! I love it!"

Cole nodded at Bailey, quickly teleporting them home, teleporting both her and his soaked clothes into the bathttub, making some warm, comfy ones appear.
He picked her up and carried her to the bedroom, sitting down with her on his lap.
"Is this better?", he asked softly, running his fingers through her wet hair, quickly tying them together so she wouldn't get too wet again.
"Do you want anything else? Some tea? Hot chocolate? Something to eat? A blanket?"

Emma smiled proudly at Sam, quickly got up and made her way to the tiny bathroom where she could freshen up.
It felt so good when the warm water ran down her body.
She was so proud of her beautiful newborn. And that look on Sam's face was just too sweet.
She would cuddle him to death when they were back home!

 

[Scripted Away]

"I promise, honey", Rachel said with a loving smile, gently stroking over Jim's cheek and leaning her forehead against his.
He was such a sweet and caring husband.
Barely believable that he had once been the number one killer of HACK.
"You are really the sweetest and greatest husband someone could ever have. Thank you for everything, honey. I'm so happy."

Raven smiled sadly as she made a plate full of Jammie Dodgers appear and put the plate on the bed next to Tyler, laying down beside him to softly stroked over his body.
"Hey, it's okay, Wilde", she mumbled silently and placed a small kiss on his shoulder.
"You know me, Ty. You know me better than anyone else. Am I that sort of person who would ever do something like that? Would I be stupid enough to betray the man I want to spend my life with? Would I be that heartless?"
She smiled lovingly as she kissed Tyler's cheek and locked her eyes, gently taking his hand- in which his phone un-broke in reversed time.
"What can I do to make you fear a bit less that I would ever cheat on you, honey? How can I help you with this?"

"And there", Ash said with a gentle smile, pointing at a dress form in the corner of the room. "I figured it would be kind of sad to have your wedding dress just hanging around in the wardrobe after our wedding, so I thought, if you want, it could have a special spot in out room. After all, it stands for the one of the most special days in our life." He went over to the dress form with a soft smile, taking a necklace that was hanging around its neck and gently put it around Emily's.
"It says that something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue bring good luck o a wedding, right? This is something old and something blue.it belonged to my great-great-grandmother. Her husband gifted it to her on their wedding. Barely earned any money at work, and so He had dig up every single of these stones, and the gold o his own, and made this necklace in a work of months. All because he wanted to show his wife how special she was for him, and how much he loved her. I didn't build one, but... I spent months on finding it. It had passed down the other side of the family and then was sold by my great-uncle. Hope it sends the same message, though."
He gently kissed Emily's shoulder, and hugged her tightly from behind, leaning his head against hers.
"I can't wait to become your husband."

"A blanket would be nice...", Bailey whispered silently, closing her eyes as she cuddled against Cole tightly.
After a while, she looked up at him with a sad frown and softly stroked over his cheek.
"...I'm sorry, honey... About... Basically everything that has happened recently. I really didn't mean to disappoint you..."

Sam smiled lovingly at his little daughter,who was watching him with her big, dark grey eyes.
He gently stroked over her chubby little cheek and smirked softly as she wrapped her tiny fingers around his, holding on tightly as if she wanted to make sure he would stay right with her forever.
"May you touch fireflies and stars, dance with fairies and talk to the man on the moon.", he whispered lovingly. May you grow up with love and gracious hearts and people who care. Welcome to the world, my Little One, it's been waiting for you."

 

[Wyosch]

"I'm far from being the sweetest and greatest, honey, but I'm glad that you're happy with me. I'm trying my hardest.", Jim replied, a happy smile on his face as he gently kissed her nosetip.
"And you have no idea how happy you make me. I never thought heaven on earth existed. Yet, here I am, the devil, enjoying heaven on earth with his wonderful wife."
He sighed dreamily, just staring into her eyes for a moment.
"Oh, baby... I love you."

Tyler looked at Raven with big eyes, honestly quite confused at first. He had thought she'd be mad and would yell at him to say what a pussy he is for being scared of something like that, and that that would be the reason as to why someone would cheat.
Though Raven of course was not like that.
"Thank you.", he mumbled silently, motioning to the cookies she had brought him. His favorites.
He grabbed one and took a bite, handing another one to Raven.
"I know you would never do something like that. I know you really wouldn't...", he mumbled silently, sighing. "It's just happened to me so often that I can't not be scared about it. C'mon, I grew up with a cheating father... I just love you so much and I don't want to lose you. I just... I have a really hard time trusting people because of what happened and I get jealous at everyone you give attention to and I'm just... I'm scared..."
Tyler sighed silently, cuddling his face into Raven's chest.
"I really don't know how I could finally stop thinking like that... And I'm just so scared you'll get mad at me one day because of it..."

Emily was crying softly, one hand on the necklace, the other on Ash's hand.
"Oh my god-", she shook her head, baffled by everything that Ash had done for her and the kids. "Baby... I don't know what to say..."
She happily cuddled against her future husband, wiping away her happy tears.
"I love it. Everything. You thought of everything. It's perfect. You're perfect. Our family is perfect."
She smiled happily, looking around the room once more.
"I can't wait to finally become your wife. I hope you know that you won't get rid of me anymore, Mr. Davis."

Cole made a fluffy, comfortable blanket appear on Bailey, wrapping her in it like a burrito.
"It's fine, baby.", he mumbled softly, holding her tightly against him, nudging his face into her hair.
"You apologized, and as long as you don't hide stuff for me anymore, it's fine. And maybe I reacted a tad too exaggerated. I'm sorry too."

Emma had been standing at the doorframe, listening to Sam talk to their daughter.
"Honey, you're so sweet.", she mumbled, running her fingers through a streak of her hair.
"I love how you look at her. Full of love."

 

[Scripted Away]

"well you might not be perfect, but you're the hottie dork I've been waiting for all my life", Rachel chuckled with loving grin as she playfully poked Jim's side with one finger and challengingly raised one eybrow... Before she more or less jumped on him and threw him over.
Smirking down at him when she used him as a mattress, she giggled happily.
"I love you too, dummy. More than I could ever tell you."

Raven just got up from the bed without another word, but soon came back with a big cup of Ginger Peach Black Tea for him. Yeah she had remembered that Tyler had told her this one was his favorite.
"Sweetie-", she mumbled with an understanding, loving smile as she cuddled against him again and gently stroked over his side.
"It's totally understandable that your past experiences with your exes left their marks on you, and I'd be the last person to not understand what impact the past can have. I almost lost my entire family-... And then my sanity."
Sighing silently, she gently grabbed his side tighter and pulled him a bit closer. "I'm scared to lose you too. I'm just as scared to end up all alone and shattered because the one I love just forgot about me or stops loving me, even though I know you'd never do that. Fear just isn't rational. I understand how you feel, honey. I'd never get mad at you for being scared. I promise."
Softly running her free hand down his back and pulling him a bit closer, she smiled lovingly as their bodies were basically pressed against eachother. The fabric of her negligee between them just got really disturbing, now that she just wanted to be as close to him as possible. She just made it vanish with a soft smile, a soft blush appearing on her face. "Weird timing, I know. I just really need some closeness and warmth right now, and that thing just got in the way."

"Well, what if I don't want to get rid of you, Mrs.Davis?", Ash replied with a loving smirk as he gently picked Emily up and bent his head upwards to kiss her.
"Man I feel like I haven't told you how much I love you in an eternity", he mumbled softly as he put her down again and looked deep into Emily's eyes.
"You and our little ones- you're everything. I love you, sweetie."

Bailey just pushed her face into Cole's chest, deeply breathing in his familiar, calming scent.
She still felt like she could burst into tears again any second, mainly because the fact that she had just almost died wasn't something she could deal with easily.
But Cole was here, right with her, protecting her wrecked nerves from another breakdown.
"... How did you know where to find me?", sure whispered after a moment, to distract both, Cole and herself. "I didn't even know myself where the hell I was..."

"Of course I love her, she's our daughter after all", Sam said with a proud smile, still watching hope with sparkling eyes.
"I really don't get how someone couldn't love their own kids. I mean, all of our kids excepting Hope aren't even biologically related to me, but I love them like my own nonetheless. I don't get how that bio fathers didn't."

 

[Wyosch]

Jim looked up at Rachel with a soft smirk, his hands resting on her thighs, enjoying her warmth.
"I love it when you use me as a mattress. Or as a blanket.", he winked, gently blowing into her face to get rid of some streaks of her hair.
"You're so beautiful.", he mumbled dreamily, a loving smile on his face. "I could just stare at you forever, and never get bored."
He wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly for a moment.
"I'm so glad you're so happy with me. That's what I strive for, to see you this happy. That beautiful smile. Oh man... I love you. I know I've said it a thousand times already in the past few hours but I just can't help myself. I really love you. So incredibly much."

Tyler stared at Raven with big eyes, his face as red as the one of a tomato.
Okay.
Her naked chest against his.
Her naked body against his almost-naked one.
Heartbeat racing.
Movement.
Fuck.
"This is- eh... hard ti- to- concentrate ri-right now.", he mumbled, pulling a strange , akward face.
He honestly really loved this. Her being so close. No fabric but his boxers in their way.
And maybe that was the problem. What if she felt-
"Eheh-", he chuckled nervously, taking a deep breath and quickly stuffing some cookies into his mouth so he wouldn't say anything akward now.
"So eh wh-where were we? Eh- yeah I-"
He gulped, running his hand through his hair and quickly taking a sip of his tea.
"I know you would never do something like that. But my brain keeps telling me I should be terrified of it."

"I'll never get sick of you telling me you love me.", Emily replied, sighing dreamily as she cuddled against him.
"Baby, I really love you. It's perfect. I'm so happy. You did a wonderful job. I still can't believe it..."
She smiled at him, playing around with his fingers before she stood up on her tiptoes to kiss him deeply.
"I'm so proud of you. Of us."

"Hearts and souls are connected. Thus I can always find out where you are. And it's a good thing as it shows us now.", Cole explained, still stroking over her back to comfort her.
"Take deep breaths, baby. You're fine. You're safe. We all are. Don't worry.", he softly kissed her forehead, smiling lovingly.
"Are you comfortable, honey? Really don't want something to eat or drink? I could prepare you something, make you extra warm."

"Well some people don't see their kids as their offspring, but as a burden and something they don't want to take care off. Children are loud, annoying, expensive - they don't care that it's their child. They only see the burden. Why else do you think there are kids in orphanages and foster homes whose parents are still alive?", Emma explained, sighing silently, yet a happy smile appearing on her face again as she cuddled against Sam, watching Hope with big eyes.
"She's perfect, isn't she?"

 

[Scripted Away]

A bright, loving sparkling appeared in Rachel's eyes as she listened to her amazing husband.
Goddamn, could this evening get any more perfect?
"You know, considering how afraid yo were of admitting that you love someone back when we came together... These words just mean even so much more", she mumbled touched.
Softly stroking through his hair, she bent down kiss him deeply.
"You are everything I could have ever dreamed of, and so much more... It's... It just seems so hard to find people like us, your know what I mean? Who don't just want a relationship but something that's just... Deeper, I don't know how else to describe it."
With a happy sigh, she cuddled against Jim tightly, closing eyes in peace.
"I'm so glad I've found someone who is like me there. My perfect other half."

Raven smirked softly, raising one eyebrow at Tyler's awkward face before she grinned mischievously and made his boxers dissolve into nothing but the yarn they were made of.
"Me too", she whispered with a suble nod towards him, slowly running her fingers down his body while her breath deepened.
"Let's forget about our fears for a moment", she whispered to his ear, before she wandered down his neck and chest, to his belly button with small kisses.
"You look like you're about to explode", she chuckled softly at his red face.

"Just as me", Ash said with a loving smile as he nozzled his face into Emily's shoulder for a moment and softly stroked over her back.
"Should I also show you the bathroom? Or do you wanna stay here and cuddle, baby?"

Bailey shook her head at Cole's question, just leaning her forehead against his neck with a soundless sigh.
"Thank you for saving me", she mumbled softly, finally looking up into Cole's eyes with the faintest of smiles.
"Maybe...a tea would be nice..."
Palnting a soft kiss on his cheek, she took his hand. "I love you, baby."

"You humans and your feelings and thoughts are sometimes are really confusing", Sam admitted with a half-smile, leaning his head against Emma's as he watched hope play with a bunny,made of light, that had just appeared above her.
"She is no burden. She could cry all night and produce the most stinky diapers and still wouldn't be. She's so beautiful..."
Smiling lovingly, he carefully leaned his forehead against hers, both stilling as if they were made of stone for a moment, their eyes closing equally while a soft light surrounded them.
"Yes, we will all be together now", he whispered softly,smiling lovingly at his daughter, before he turned his head back to Emma. "She's more than perfect."

 

[Wyosch]

Jim smiled shyly at his wife, looking like a crushing boy who was about to ask his love out on a date, his eyes sparkling softly, the black lightning-like marks glowing up slightly.
"You have no idea how happy that makes me.", he mumbled silently, sighing dreamily.
He had never believed life to be worth living. He had believed he was just there to follow orders like a mindless machine, which he did. He had believed everyone to be the same: heartless, abusing and manipulative, not worth trusting and investing time in.
But now. He still felt like he was living the dream. The perfect dream with the perfect people.
His wife had shown him that everything he had been taught, that everything that he had believed in... was nothing but a lie. A lie where Rachel had told him the truth, and she had shown him that there was more to life than misery and pain.
"I really wouldn't be here anymore without you, honey. And everytime I feel like giving up, you're there for me, over and over again, saying the same words to me - and yet you never seem annoyed by me... being me with a load of problems. I don't think I thank you enough for that. So hereby, thank you baby."

Tyler bit his lip as Raven ran her fingers down his body, clenching his teeth together as she kissed him like that.
"Ugh fuck.", he muttered under his breath, every viber in his body just wanting to hold Raven as tight as possible and never let go.
Gently tracing her spine with his finger, his breath deepening, he pulled her closer with his other hand into a deep, passionate kiss.
"You're really teasing me there, missy.", he mumbled, his wet bottom lip softly stroking her ear.
"But I can do that too."

"Ohh the bathroom is very important of course, it's where we share showers... but I'm really in the mood for some cuddling, and you promised me something there in the hospital.", Emily replied, winking mischievously as she kissed his neck.
"I don't mind, baby. The bathroom can wait. There's of course still the kitchen and everything else you gotta show me, so we have time."

"Of course.", Cole replied, gently kissing her forehead as he got up from the bed to get Bailey some tea.
"Some tea then? I'll be right back.", he smiled lovingly, blowing her a kiss as he left the room.
"I love you too, baby."
It didn't take long until Cole walked back into the bedroom, a cup of tea and some Oreo cookies in his hands.
"Thought you might want some.", he winked, handing her the cup of tea and placing the plate with cookies next to her onto the bed, him sitting down on the other side next to her.
"Are you feeling a bit better again?"

Emma smiled softly at Sam, her eyes tearing up as she saw his husband like that.
No, this wasn't just another child.
This was her first child that didn't result from rape.
This was her first child that would grow up in a healthy environment, with a loving family.
With a father.
This was her first child where she was happy too.
"She really is a little ray of sunshine, isn't she? Our beautiful Hope.", she mumbled, softly kissing their daughter's forehead.
"Mommy loves you."

 

[Scripted Away]

"I'm starting to get an impression of it, sweetheart", Rachel whispered with a peaceful smile.
That expression on Jim's face, that happy glow in his eyes- that had been what she had dreamed to see ever since she had met him for the first time.
Yeah, sure, he had his little quirks and mistakes. But who didn't?
In the end, he was perfect for her.
And damn, she would never stop loving him.
He had been the one to fix her tired soul, and mend her cracked heart. Even if he would never believe that.
But slowly, he seemed to understand what she saw in him, and how happy he made her.
As Jim thanked her for never giving him up, she smiled lovingly and gently kissed his forehead.
"Always, my love. That peaceful look on your face and that happy sparkling in your eyes are reward enough for me. It's so great to see you that happy."

Raven just took a deep, quick breath, her teeth clenched as she shut her eyes and leaned her forehead on Tyler's shoulder, get one leg wrapping around his hip to pull him closer.
"Stop torturing me", she chuckled silently to his ear. "My first, my only, my last- sounds kind of romantic, doesn't it?"

Ash smiled lovingly as he gently picked Emily up and lay down in bed with her, making his shirt and jeans disappear and his simple black shorts appear that he usually wore in bed.
"I'm cuddle-ready", he announced grinning, pushing his face into Emily's shoulder with a happy sigh
"So comfy!"
Looking up at her with sparkling eyes, he gently stroked over her cheek.
"So beautiful..."

"Thank you, baby." Bailey just scooted a bit closer, so she could curl up in bed and use Cole's lap as a pillow while she slowly sipped on her tea and nibbled around on an Oreo.
"Yeah, I guess...", she said silently. "Still a bit wobbly, I mean, you don't almost die every day... But I'm slowly getting back on track."
Though she knew that that would haunt her in her dreams for weeks now.
"I'm not looking forward to the nightmares, but eh-"
She shrugged.
"As long as I have you to cuddle against when I wake up, I'll be okay."
Gently taking Cole's hand, Bailey kissed its back and then just cuddled her cheek against it, closing her eyes. "I should just get this over with-"
Taking out her phone, Bailey dialed a number, her eyes slightly narrowing.
"Valentina DeCortèz?
...
It's Bailey Grigio.
...
I am not your daughter. I am a business partner whom you owe 720.000 dollars to.
...
I am also a person who can and will goulash your ass if you don't pay.
...
Escucha atentamente, mujer, pagarás ese dinero por tu nieto, o juro por Dios que te encontraré y te haré trizas!
...
si, estoy embarazada.
...
no, nunca conocerás a mi familia.
...
porque te odio!
...
Too little, too late. You pay cash, and piss off again. No talk, nothing. Hasta luego."
With a scoff, Bailey hang up again and fired her phone against the next wall with surprising power, where it shattered into a pile of pieces.
"Mosquita Muerta!", She hissed hatefully, before she sighed silently and cuddled against Cole again. "She will come to Montana and pay..."

Sam smiled lovingly as he watched Hope carefully place hey tiny hand on her mother's cheek, to share her feelings with her.
Happiness, curiosity, peace, love. So much love.
Untarnished and pure how only the feelings of a newborn could be, that had never seen the dark side of the world yet.
"She is- ... She is just perfect..."

 

[Wyosch]

"Who wouldn't be happy with someone like you by their side?", Jim replied, his eyes sparkling like a sky full of stars, a loving smile on his face.
"You really are perfection in person.", he mumbled, stroking over her soft cheek, a dreamy expression on his face.
"I really want to give you the first part of my gift for tomorrow. I just can't wait anymore. Would that be alright or do I have to wait until tomorrow?"

Tyler smirked softly, softly stroking over Raven's chest, walking down to her belly.
"Yeah, you're right. Good thing I love romantic.", he mumbled, softly kissing her nosetip, now stroking over her thigh.
"My one and only.", he whispered dreamily, pulling her closer into a deep kiss.
He really wanted to drool right now.
She was just lying there in his arms, naked.
He was naked too.
And she kept teasing him.
Pretty hard not to explode then.
"You are really evil."

Emily blushed softly as Ash looked at her with his big eyes, smiling lovingly as he called her beautiful.
"I'm not beautiful.", she mumbled, making her clothes disappear and just cuddling against him in her lingerie. "But I'm glad you think I am.", she whispered, softly poking his nosetip with hers.
"I love you, you beautiful perfect future husband."

"I'll meet her to get the money.", Cole immediately said, pulling Bailey close. "I don't trust her. And I don't want you to meet her. You've already had enough drama for today.", he explained, kissing her softly. "From what I understood you telling her, she asked to meet us. And I for sure do not want you to go out there to get the money when you're pregnant. Forget it. I'll go. She can't touch me."
He smiled, sighing.
"I don't want to forbid you of going but I'm scared and I'd feel safer if I would go."

Emma looked at Hope with big eyes before back at Sam.
"She just- she just gave me her feelings.", she said, quite surprised. "Just like you are able to do. And Cole too. Do you think-?"

 

[Scripted Away]

Rachel slightly tilted her head to the side,thinking for a moment, until a soft smirk appeared on her face and she kissed Jim's nosetip.
"Okay, I will let you give me yours if you let me give you mine already", she said grinning. "I just can't wait for your reaction, and I kiiind of have the feeling that you will need a moment to compose yourself after that, so maybe tomorrow with the whole family there wouldn't be the best idea", she admitted with a loving smile.
She got up, so Jim could stand up and get his gift.
"Hey Jim? You awesome."

Raven just smiled lovingly as she softly cupped Tyler's face and kissed him back, pressing herself against him.
Out of curiosity, she had had a look at her future how it would have been if her father hadn't broken down. She would have met a man in the city, who would have turned out to be some Royal heir on the run. All wrapped up, it would have been the future every little girl would have dreamed of.
Well, excepting her.
All she wanted was Tyler.
And here he was, holding her tight with such a love in his eyes.
"I love you, Ty", she whispered softly, her eyes sparkling. "And- hell yeah."
Would he get the hint? She certainly hoped so...

"Emily Davis... Sound really good to me", Ash sighed happily, watching his fiance with big, loving eyes.
God she was amazing.
Sure, moody, at times, and a full-grown creep on her period, but nonetheless- amazing.
"And you are beautiful. Inside and out."

Bailey sighed silently at Cole, before she looked away.
"I-..."
Scoffing silently, she leaned her head against his shoulder.
"I'll go, too. But I promise to stay behind you, okay? I just- I want her to see what I've become. That I turned out fine even though she was a bitch. And that I found true love."
Softly kissing Cole's cheek, she took his hand and intertwined their fingers.
"Hey, honey; I was thinking, many people do something special on their wedding, right? Your dad wrote a song for your mom, for example. And I was thinking, if you want, we could do that too. Together. You have an amazing voice, and I myself ain't bad either- though you've never heard me sing till now. After all, we're officially starting our life together, so why not start it, well, together. What do you think?"

"Definitely", Sam said nodding, watching Hope with a soft smile. "Our genes are very dominant. It's really unlikely for a unicorn's child to be no unicorn."
With a soft smile, he left his vessel for a moment, to show hope his true appearance, and just glowed brighter when Hope suddenly did the same, revealing her beautiful true form.
Oh wow... She already is incredibly powerful for a newborn-!
After quickly possessing his vessel again, Sam watched Hope's light with wide eyes. "Beautiful..."

 

[Wyosch]

Jim got up from the couch, smiling softly at Rachel.
"I'm not awesome.", he replied. "But you make me feel like I am."
He winked, getting up and quickly walking off to get the first part of Rachel's gift - though he actually really wanted to give the second part too... oh fuck it, he'd just do it.
After a couple of minutes he came back, three gift-wrapped, small boxes in his arms.
"I may have been a little too excited.", he chuckled, winking. "And I am too impatient to wait until tomorrow for the rest. So I'll just give you everything now already... or shouldn't I? Well I'll let you decide, but here is my first gift."
He handed her the smallest one, wrapped in sparkling blue gift-wrap was another black box with a handmade necklace for her. One side read something very sweet and cute, the other side showing a heart with a J and a R carved into it.
"I'm not very good at... making pretty stuff like Macon does for Hunter but I hope you'll like it anyway."

"I love you too, my princess.", Tyler replied, his eyes sparkling full of love as he kissed her once more, tilting his head as she - totally out of nowhere - just said 'hell yeah'.
"Hell yeah?", he repeated confused, trying to find the link between 'I love you' and 'hell yeah' - and then it dropped.
Oooohhhh.
"Are you sure?", he asked silently, softly stroking over her arm.
Sure they were both 'old' for their first time, especially in a generation like this where young adults nowadays just want to get it over with because 'it's not a big deal' and without any true love. Everybody would just tell him to not ask any further questions and to just 'fuck her' - but unlike the others, he still had manners and cared for others. To him this was a big deal. And he didn't want to pressure Raven into sleeping with him now, just because he was ready for it. He had relationships before where he could have lost his virginity if he had wanted to, but he had realized that he only wanted to be that intimate with one and one person only. The one he'd marry. The first, the only, the last.
"I mean- you know I'm not pressuring you into it, right? If you want- only. It's a big deal."
And perhaps he was just scared too.
That maybe Raven would find somebody else, and while he had committed that much to her... she would just forget about him like that. So many people were like that nowadays. Using their partner to just get that first time and then going on to somebody else because they're now an 'expert'.
He knew she wasn't like that.
But he was still scared.
Alright maybe he had some relationship anxiety.
Maybe a lot.
And maybe some trust issues too.
But he loved Raven and he wouldn't ever want anybody else.
"You did initiate it with getting all naked.", he chuckled after a while of being silent, winking. "I like it."

Emily just blushed to a deeper red, climbing on top of Ash to use him as a mattress. And she loved the skin contact.
"How can someone be so perfect and be mine? Like really, how?", she asked, sighing dreamily as she cuddled into his chest, giggling for a moment as she licked it.
Yes, she sometimes had her 'I-will-now-randomly-lick-Ash'-moments, but he never really seemed to mind.
"I looooove you."

"Alright, that works too. I just want to be there to be able to step in and protect you.", Cole explained, tilting his head at what Bailey suggested about their wedding. "Well first of all, I've heard you sing in the shower and you sound amazing. You always do.", he winked, smirking. "And second, I really like that idea. I had actually already been thinking about what I could do to make it extra special for you, but it's of course even better if we both make it special."

"Wow.", Emma gasped, looking at her... light-kinda-something-daughter with big eyes. "That's just beautiful. She's really beautiful.", she mumbled, leaning against Sam with a peaceful smile.
"She really is perfect. Everything is perfect. Our family is."

 

[Scripted Away]

Rachel gently ran her fingers over the writing on the metal, her eyes wide and sparkling.
"I absolutely love it", she whispered softly.
After giving her husband a tight, close hug and a kiss on his neck, she turned her back to him and stroked her hair over her left shoulder, holding up the necklace.
"Would you help me put it on?", She asked, giving Jim another of her bright, bunny-nose smiles.
"I'll let you decide if you want to wait for tomorrow for the rest or not. I'm totally fine with either."
Looking back at Jim orr her shoulder, a loving sparkling in her eyes, she softly placed her hand on his thigh.
"And, thank you honey. It's so sweet and beautiful."

Raven smiled softly at Tyler, her eyes full of deepest love, sparkling like the night sky as she gently put her hand on the side of his neck, just on his jawline, to pull him into a deep, gentle kiss.
She just took his hand and softly pushed it against her chest, right on her halfway racing heart. "It has been yours from the day I got to know you", she whispered.
"I know it seems early to say this... But you are the one I see by my side for the rest of my life. You are the one I want to think of when I say 'our life' and you are the one I dream of walking up to in a white dress. I've never believed in fate, but-... Honestly I'm starting to."
Softly stroking over his cheek, she locked her shining eyes to his.
"But if you are unsure yet, that I'm the right one, I will wait for you, Ty. I don't feel pressured at all. But neither should you."
While talking, she had been stroking through his hair calmingly, her other hand softly holding his. "I'm not all about the fun, you know? As you said, it's about sharing something special with the right one. For me, that's you, my sly fox."

Ah raised one eyebrow at Emily licking his chest, but just shrugged it off as one of her cute weirdnesses.
I love you more", he said with a soft smirk, poking her side.
"Hey, you know what? I'll cook kiss dinner later, okay? You just get all comfy and cuddled up on the couch. Mr.Davis here will get the rest done."

Bailey blushed brightly as she heard that Cole had heard her sing under the shower.
So awkward!
"Well that's awkward...", She chuckled, rubbing the back of her head before she slightly lifted her shoulders.
"We should get ready to go to the city soon. Valentina can teleport, too."
She just quickly went to the wardrobe to put on her favorite dress, smirking softly at Cole.
"Last time she saw me I was a chubby 14-year-old with horrible braces, akne like a sprinkled donut and the nerdiest glasses you could imagine. Thank God I grew out of that. Time to blow her expectations!"

As hope turned back to normal, Sam smirked softly, wrapping one arm around Emma's waist.
"Hey Em- I've never thanked you for this extraordinary life, did I? This short time with you and our family is like... It's more than my trillions of years loving together. So- thank you."

 

[Wyosch]

Jim carefully and concentratedly put the necklace around Rachel's neck, closing it - after a couple of times of not succeeding. Really, after all these years wearing a dogtag he still couldn't easily close it.
"You know that I'm a very impatient person... so - here."
He handed her another gift, that was wrapped in some giftwrap too, but one could still see that it was some sort of glass.
"Let me explain-", he mumbled akwardly, running his hand through his hair.
"Contained in the '365 days jar' are three hundred and sixty five handwritten notes, each color co-ordinated to the below themes.", he explained, pointing at the three colorful dots. "Red notes - reasons why I love you. Yellow notes - moments and memories. And green notes - quotes and lyrics. Every morning for the next year you can pick one note out and it, in theory, will be a nice start to the day for you."

"You are the one. No doubt at all.", Tyler replied, a shy yet loving smile as he gently kissed her.
Right from the start he had had a special connection to her. He had always felt himself drawn to her, and no matter how many females tried to flirt with him when being arrested - there was always only one that could catch his attention. Raven.
He had never felt something like this before.
It was so special. And he knew one would only once in their lifetime meet their soulmate, and he had found his.
"You're my other half. The one I've been looking for my entire life.", he mumbled, smirking softly. "And I'll fucking handcuff you to me so you won't leave.", he joked, winking. "No but seriously. I'll do that!"

Emily grinned widely at him, letting out a soft squeal as she hugged him tightly - trying to push herself down onto him as much as possible.
"Ohhh baby you have no idea how happy you make me! Just by being you and you're so cute and sweet-", she wiggled her body for a moment, peacefully closing her eyes as she cuddled her head into his chest once again.
"I love watching you cook. You're so sexy. You're always sexy. You're my Mr. Sexy."
If a stranger would hear her talk like this, they would think she were drunk - but she in fact was just getting carried away by her happy emotions that nothing entirely made sense when she spoke. It made a little sense, but not much.
"You really make me so happy. You really have no idea. Really."

"What? Why akward? I think it's cute. And you're a really great singer.", Cole replied, wiggling his eyebrows as Bailey said how she used to look like - wiggling them again as she made her beautiful dress appear on her.
"Well no matter what you looked like or what you look like now, you're always beautiful to me.", he smiled lovingly, giving her a kiss on her cheek, winking as he softly slapped her butt.
"Seeeexy butt."

"What are you thanking me for, honey?", Emma asked, smiling softly. "I should be the one to thank you. You saved me from my own miserable life. Look how happy you make everybody. I have never seen my kids this at ease. Do you think they would be this happy now if you hadn't been there? I doubt it."

 

[Scripted Away]

Rachel listened to Jim's explanation with wide, sparkling eyes, wiping a tiny, happy tears off her cheek as he was finished.
Damn.
Why did she always have to start crying when she was touched?!
"And you say you aren't good at being romantic. Thank you honey. So much.", she whispered with a loving smile, cuddling against Jim tightly- huggg the glass in her arms.
"Now I feel stupid with my gift-"
She took his hand and teleported into macon's garage, a car standing there as she turned out the lights.
"Friggin trader demon had wrecked her completely, and sold her on the black market- in parts.
But I found most of them. Excepting the left door and bonnet. Had to rebuild those, but yeah. And since you once asked me if I would give her a fire-paint job- there you go. Our baby, all fine again and back where she belongs."

Raven laughed softly as she ruffled Tyler's hair and kissed him.
"Already considering bonding? I'm actually more for the... Traditional way, without the sadomasochistic stuff."
Suppressing some laughter, which resulted in a cute snort, she just made two rings appear on her and Tyler's fingers, winking at him with a soft smile.
"Until shit gets real- let's use these as handcuffs", she chuckled lovingly, before cuddling against him tightly and looking up into his eyes with her eyes sparkling.
Yeah, he was the one.
He made her feel as if all the cracks and wounds her heart was carrying would disppear when he was just there, looking at her with that beautiful loving look in his eyes.
"And, Ty- you don't need to be afraid that I might destroy this for some other guy. I've found my soulmate in you."

"You're cute when you're weird", Ash chuckled,softly stroking over Emily's back with his fingers.
Dang her skin was so soft.
"Sooo, Mrs.Sexy, what should your husband cook for you, hmm?", He asked smirking.
Yeah, by now he just went by husband and wife already. Fiance was just such a long word. And maybe he was getting more impatient with every day.
Maybe.
Probably.

Bailey just raised one eyebrow at Cole with a soft smirk, got her phone and sat down on his lap to show him a picture.
"Come again", she chuckled silently, blushing brightly.
"Say hi to your fiancee 4 years ago. Before puberty, a healthy diet and looots of sport got this butt into its sexy shape."
Chuckling softly, she shrugged.
"I'm not kidding, that's really me. Lost 70 pounds in one year. I was a whale."

Sam just lifted his shoulders, smiling softly.
"Neither would I without you, though", he said lovingly and leaned his head on Emma's.
"Let's go home, no?"

 

[Wyosch]

Jim's face went from a happy, exciting expression to putting his hand in front of his mouth as he gasped, holding in his tears.
To some this was just a car.
A machine.
A piece of metal.
Scrap.
But this car meant so much more to him than anyone could understand - and having her back now felt like someone coming back from the dead.
He slowly walked up to the car, carefully running his fingers over the bonnet, his eyes sparkling - probably because he was crying but mostly because he was so happy.
"She's beautiful-", he mumbled silently, his voice shaking. "How did you- baby I don't know what to say..."
He turned around to his wonderful wife, squeezing her tightly into a loving hug.
"Thank you. Thank you so much. You have no idea- thank you, thank you. She's just back, and prettier than ever. You're amazing. Truly amazing."

"You know that fear won't just disappear, but it surely helps when you keep repeating it over and over again.", Tyler replied, smiling lovingly as he looked down at their fingers.
"I love you, Raven. Forever."
He pulled her into another kiss, sighing happily.
She had her flaws and quirks, but damn she was perfect to him, no matter what others said or thought.
"I just want to stay here in bed next to you forever, staring into your beautiful eyes..."

"I'm not cute! I'm eeeeevil!", Emily replied, giggling softly for a moment, a frown on her face as she thought about what her hubby should cook. She had tried to make him decide often enough, but he always said that whatever made her happy made him happy too. Gosh he was perfect. Just perfect.
"Uuuuh what about enchiladas? Or tacos? Ooooor you?"', she winked, grinning softly. "For real I have no idea, I could eat anything."

"You're still beautiful there though.", Cole mumbled, smiling softly as he looked at the picture. Even if Bailey would still look like that right now, he'd still think she were the most beautiful woman on earth.
"Like I said, baby - you're always beautiful to me."
He softly kissed her cheek, putting her phone away.
"I always looked like some homeless emo, heh."

Emma nodded at Sam, quickly grabbed her bag, checked if they hadn't forgotten anything and nodded once again.
"Alrighty, let's go. It's finally time to reveal Hope's room! I am really excited. I bet it's beautiful, just perfect."

 

[Scripted Away]

Rachel smiled lovingly at Jim's happy reaction, and tightly wrapped her arms around him as he hugged her.
"You're welcome, honey", she whispered to his ear, softly stroking over his back to calm him down a bit, before she took a seat on the baby's bonnet just like back then in round top, almost 8 years ago.
"I know she's just a car to some people, but... She is much more than that, isn't she? She somewhat is a part of this family, as odd as it sounds.''
Softly running her fingers over the bonnet, she traced the flames for a moment, remembering that night when they had come together.
"It's good to have her back where she belongs. Imagine all the stories she could tell if she could talk. Man!"

"I'll repeat it as often as you need to hear it, Wilde", Raven chuckled softly.
As she gently traced the writing on Tyler's ring with her thumb, her eyes gained a loving, peaceful sparkling, as if nothing could ruin her good mood right now.
"I have and will always love you, Tyler", she whispered with wide eyes, like she still had difficulties to understand that this all was real.
How could she?
This was nothing to just accept and carry on.
This was so much more.
He was so much more.
Pushing herself closer against him, she kissed him gently, her eyes slowly closing as she carefully slid down, frowning for a second.
"We got all night to stare", she whispered to his ear, smiling lovingly.
(Iiii suppose we should fade sometime X'D)

"Okay, then we'll eat hats tonight", Ash laughed, winking at Emily. "I'll just browse the cook books for some inspiration", he explained, softly running his fingers down her back.
"But right now... I'm too busy with my favorite blanket. But when you get hungry you tell me, okay?"

Bailey just shook her head with a soft smile. That poor guy was completely lovestruck as it seemed. She definitely was not beautiful on that photo.
Awkward would describe it better.
But it was so cute that he called even get overweight, everything else than beautiful past self beautiful.
As he mentioned having looked like an emo, she slightly tilted her head, grinning side. "What, really emo with hairdye and eyeliner and stuff?", She asked curiously. "Please tell me there are pictures!"

Grinning softly, sam teleported right into Hope's room, smiling nervously.
"I purposely didn't go for the stereotypical light blue or pink", he explained, lifting his shoulders.
"I don't know, those stereotypes just always annoyed me,and I can remember Rachel having hated her room when she was still a little girl, because has always been her least favorite color.
So I went for white, silver, stuff like that..."

 

[Wyosch]

Jim nodded at everything Rachel said, sighing happily.
"You're right. She really feels like a part of our family.", he replied, sitting down on the bonnet of the car next to her.
"If she could speak she would talk about all those times I nearly crashed her.", he chuckled, tracing the flames with his finger.
"How on earth were you able to hide this from me? Something this big? I think I wouldn't have been able to hide it."

Tyler's breath had deepened radically when Raven slid down, his fingers stroking over her thighs.
"Tell me when it hurts.", he mumbled silently as he saw her frowning for a second.
"I love you, baby.", he whispered, pulling her down into a deep kiss.
Yes, she really was the one.
((yeaaaah maybe sometime XD))

"Hats sound delicious.", Emily replied, giggling at Ash for a moment. "You're really an awesome cook. Like I could eat your food all day long and become super fat because of it!", she winked, smiling lovingly as Ash stroke over her back. God how she loved his touch.
"And I think you'll hear when I get hungry. You know my belly loves making dying whale sounds."

"Well I already got black hair so didn't need hairdye, but yep - with eyeliner, the baggy black clothes, 'the world hates me'-attitude.", Cole replied, chuckling. "And sadly - yes, pictures of me like that exist. You sure you wanna see it?"

Emma gasped when she saw the beautiful room, her eyes sparkling lovingly. This is what she had wanted for her baby. It was perfect.
"Sam, it's beautiful! I love it!"
