Aegis 3.0

"and about how awkward we were eight years ago",Rachel added smirking while she leaned her head against Jim's shoulder and closed her eyes happily.
This Christmas would be perfect.
Jim would be fine.
Their kids would be happy.
No dramas, no accidents or attacks or other mood blowers.
"Well, when you have two brothers and are the middle child- you learn to hide things well", she laughed.

"I'm fine", Raven whispered softly, kissing him back. "I'm more than fine."
((Fade then, I guess? XD))

((I'm in a hurry, will reply to Emily later!))

A wide, mischievous grin appeared Bailey's face as she tried to imagine emo-Cole shuffling through the school and hating everyone.
"The world- and especially I- love you, sweetie", she mumbled happily, cuddling against him tightly for a moment before she kneeled down on the bed beside him nodding.
"Oh hell yeah, I so wanna see them! And when you're at it already- I could use some eyeliner help. The lower line is no problem but I constantly fuck up the upper the one. Any tips?"
She chuckled softly and gently nudged Cole's shoulder. "Seriously, i would have never expected that I'd ask my fiance for make up help one day."

Sam smirked softly at Emma's reaction, wrapping his arms around her waist as he looked everything over once more.
"And when it gets dark, glow-in-the-dark stars and a moon appear on the walls and ceiling", he explained with a soft smile.
 
"As long as you don't hide stuff for me excepting surprises - the good ones.", Jim replied, smiling softly.
He was so looking forward to Rachel's reaction to his last gift.
"Hey, what about we go back to the bed, and I'll give you my last gift? It won't top the one you gave me, but I hope you'll like it anyway."
She was perfect.
Their kids were perfect.
They were perfect.
His life was perfect.
She made him feel perfect.
"You really are awesome, do you know that?"

((cute cute xD They're so sweet XD))

((okayyy don't forget to reply to her ;D))

Cole groaned annoyedly, shaking his head.
"Alright then. But don't you laugh.", he took out his phone and searched for quite a while as his gallery was full of pictures of Bailey, him and Bailey, Bailey, and Bailey again...
It took him five minutes until he had scrolled enough to get to the last remaining pics of his emo-phase.
"This one was taken when we had a presentation at school in front of all the parents, teachers and students. Man how I hated that. But oh well."
Cole suddenly groaned even more akwardly, showing Bailey another picture.
"God this is horrible. Good thing those piercings were fake, but still. And those neck tattoos were the ones you can wash away with water, remember those for kids? I wanted to be cool and had those too.", he chuckled.
"Alright, last one. I had experimented a bit with those kid' tats, and instead of the skulls I had wanted - Mike had taken these.", he shook his head, smirking softly.
"But eh yeah, if you ever need help with your eyeliner. Heh, I can help. Guyliner."

"Really?", Emma asked, her eyes just starting to sparkle even more than before. "That's so sweet, honey. You really did an amazing job."
She looked at their daughter, a soft smile on her face.
"It's pretty isn't it? Just like you."
 
Rachel smiled happily as she leaned her head against Jim's shoulder, but lastly just went to give him a tight, loving hug.
"Why should I hide anything, I know I can tell you everything", she sighed peacefully, closing her eyes for just a moment, before she toeported the two of them back home, right into their bed.
Their bed.
Yeah, sometimes she still woke up at night and just spent minutes or even hours on watching Jim sleep, barely believing that this was real and that they still had an eternity together waiting for them.
He was so beautiful when he was at peace, and happy.
She took his hand, her eyes sparkling as if she had fallen in love with him just in this moment, while her other hand gently touched the necklace he had made for her.
"Honey? I really love you. Like, really really. So much. Just needed to tell you this."
Smiling softly, she gently kissed his cheek and leaned against his side assherestedher chin on his shoulder.
"And you are amazing too."

((Hell yeah just imagine the next morning<3 ))

((Nevaaa XD))
"But you're a cute dying whale", Ash laughed, gently poking Emily's side.
Closing his eyes for a moment as he just leaned back in bed with a peaceful smile, he imagined their wedding.
Hell he would make sure that everything would be absolutely perfect for her.
"Hey Emmy? Did I ever tell you that I had fallen in love with you right when we had met for the first time? We were only twelve and eleven, but- you took my breath away already back then."

Bailey blinked a couple of times at the pictures Cole had showed her, lastly raised one eyebrow and scoffed silently.
"Seriously, what the hell?! How do you manage to look handsome no matter what you wear?!"
She chuckled softly, stroking a little streak of hair out of his face, and lastly just cuddled against his shoulder.
"I mean, okay, your hair looks like... Roadkill... On the first picture, but you still look attractive there! And dang-"
Zooming into the last picture, she grinned softly and kissed his cheek.
"That eyeliner there is flawless."
Grinning happily, she just watched Cole's face for a moment, before she softly stroked over his cheek, her sparkling eyes locked to his.
"I know you probably won't believe me, but you are the most beautiful man I've ever seen... Like damn."

Hopes eyes immediately widened at the sight of something very colorful in her crib.
She made a happy squealing sound as Sam picked it up in lay it in her tiny arms.
"You like it?",he mumbled with a soft smile, watching hope cuddle her face into her first plushie.
"Your future sister-in-law made it for you. Bailey. You will love her."
A sad frown crossed his face for a moment.
"Excuse me for a moment-", he mumbled silently, took out his phone and quickly texted Cole.
Hey Cole
My ears are just too good sometimes. I heard what you and Bailey have been talking about in the hospital and just wanted to check up on you. I'm so sorry you're going through something like that...as far as I know you, I think you didn't want the abortion. If you need someone to talk, I'm always there for you, okay my boy?

"Poor boy...", He sighed sadly to himself, before turning to Emma again.
"I'm glad you like it, honey."
 
"I love you too baby. More than you know, and more than I could ever show.", Jim replied, his eyes sparkling lovingly as he looked down at his wife.
His wife.
It was still so hard to believe. Someone like him didn't deserve someone like her, but yet she had chosen him.
And she loved him. She loved him for who he was, with all of his doubts, fears and flaws.
And he still didn't know how he could thank her for that.
"Do you want your last gift? It's the one I gave you tips for."

((Yesss! It'll be so damn cuteeee ))

Emily blinked a couple of times, slightly confused.
"Really? From that first moment on?", she asked, a soft smile appearing on her face as she softly kissed him.
"Me too."
She sighed dreamily, her eyes sparkling lovingly.
"Yes, this is faith, baby."
She purposely made her dying whale sounds again, giggling.
"Really, I love you. So much."

Cole smiled softly at Bailey, shaking his head.
"I'm far from the most handsome man ever."
He smirked, chuckling softly.
"I'm really feeling akward right now. Imagine I'd still look like that.", he laughed, shaking his head. "But I'm really happy that you think I'm handsome. Really.", he winked, wrapping one arm around her waist to pull her closer.
"Baby, I love you."
As his phone rang, he raised an eyebrow, quickly taking it out and reading the text message from Sam.
With a soft smile he quickly replied.
Thanks, Sam.
She luckily didn't abort. I'm so happy, yet super scared. She has hemophilia. But we'll find a way. I know it.
It's a baby. Our baby. I can't believe it. She showed me the picture of our child. I can't believe it. So beautiful.
Thanks for being there for me.


Emma slightly tilted her head as Sam suddenly took out his phone and texted someone.
"Is everything alright, baby?", she asked, a sorrowful expression in her eyes, that changed again when she looked back at their daughter.
That sparkling in her little eyes was so sweet.
She was so cute.
She really was so perfect.
 
Rachel nodded at Jim's question, smiling excitedly as shetook his hand and have it a gentle squeeze.
"I wonder if I'll get the hint when I know what it is", she chuckled softly.
Stretching out o the bed with a happy, relaxed sigh, she looked up at Jim grinning, while she changed into some comfy leggings, fluffy socks and a shirt- from him.
"You have no idea how excited I am! Our first real Christmas, that we really celebrate and everything,without any dramas. It will be awesome!"

((They're just the friggin cutest couple ever,together with...everyone XD))

"I guess you mean fate", Ash chuckled softly, stroking over Emily's back.
"Ieam,faith is a good thing as well, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have that much to do with being meant to be."
Smirking gently, he kissed her neck and mimicked her whale sounds, winking.
"We really are crazy."

Bailey sighed happily,cuddling against Cole tightly.
She gently took his hand and placed it on her belly, her eyes sparkling lovingly.
"Even if you'd still look like that, I'd love you just the same. And I'd just as much believe that you will be a good daddy for our little one."
In case I won't make it...
Softly kissing his cheek, she cuddled against him and closed her eyes.
"And you are handsome. Handsome as hell,to be exact!"
With a soft grin, she took off his shirt, enjoying to cuddle against his bare chest.
"I love you", she sighed happily, kissing his shoulder.

"Hmh?"
Sam looked up from the message Cole had just sent him, but then just went back to reading,a soft smile spreading on his face.
"Yeah, everything's fine", he sighed relieved, putting his phone away again.
"False alarm, everything's good."
 
((you got a lot to read but do it bc it's fucking cute xD))

Jim got up from the bed, raising an eyebrow as he saw Rachel in one of his shirts - again.
"I've come to the realization that you really like my shirts, even if they are way too big for you.", he chuckled, quickly taking off his shirt as it was pretty tight and that annoyed him after some time.
"I know what you mean. I'm so excited as well, you have no idea! Everything will be great and I'll make sure it'll be your best christmas ever."
He sat down on the bed again as he held the last gift in his hands.
Rectangular shape. Flat. Not very big. Red giftwrap with hearts on it.
"Here you go.", he mumbled, watching Rachel with big eyes. He had worked so hard on it.
A grin spread on his face as Rachel was holding the CD, a picture of them as cover, in her hands.
"Like I said, it's not much... the
Songlist

Song 1 - All Of Me
I am a mess of contradictions
I am a doubter who believes
And I try to hide the failures,
that I don't want you to see
But you tell me that you love me,
more than I can understand
And you still call me, to come as I am

You want my faith
You want my doubt
The things I don't want to talk about
All that's broken, healed, and somewhere in between
I will lay it at your feet,
and I won't hold back anything
Because what you want is all,
what you want is all of me

You know every single heartbeat
You know every single breath I breathe
All the sin that held me captive,
before mercy set me free
You are the God of new beginnings,
and you will never walk away
You arms are open,
so I won't be afraid

You bring my faith
You bring my doubt
the things I don't want to talk about
All that's broken, healed, and somewhere in between
I will lay it at your feet,
and I won't hold back anything
Because what you want is all,
what you want is all of me

Everything I am, is placed inside your hands
Everything I knew before, every moment but is yours
All of me

You want my faith
You want my doubt
the things I don't want talk about
All that's broken, healed, and somewhere in between
Broken, healed, and somewhere in between

You want my faith
You want my doubt
the things I don't want talk about
All that's broken, healed, and somewhere between
I will lay it at your feet, and I won't hold back anything
What you want is all,
what you want is all of me

All of me

Song 2 - On Fire
I've been waiting all my life for something more
To awaken and pick myself up off the floor
I've been searching just for a little light
Nothing was working till you brought me to life

I'm on fire and you're the one holding the match
I've been inspired and I'm not looking back this time
I'm gonna live everyday like it's my last, now that I believe
Gonna leave my failures in the past like a criminal set free

Back together, no more pieces on the ground
Better weather since you came around

I'm on fire and you're the one holding the match
I've been inspired and I'm not looking back this time
I'm gonna live everyday like it's my last, now that I believe
Gonna leave my failures in the past like a criminal set free

I'm on fire and you're the one holding the match
I've been inspired and I'm not looking back
I'm on fire and you're the one holding the match
I've been inspired and I'm not looking back this time
I'm gonna live everyday like it's my last, now that I believe
Gonna leave my failures in the past like a criminal set free

Song 3 - Soldier
Where did all the people go?
They got scared when the lights went low
I'll get you through it nice and slow,
When the world's spinning out of control
Afraid of what they might lose
Might get scraped or they might get bruised
You could beg them, what's the use?
That's why it's called a moment of truth

I'll get it if you need it,
I'll search if you don't see it,
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
You get hurt, I'll take your pain
I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it
When you heard what I told you,
When you get worried I'll be your soldier

Funny when times get hard,
At the last moment when you're supposed to charge,
Always on the longest yard,
Oh, they feel their feet getting cold
Hiding here, hiding there,
Find them underneath the stairs,
People hiding everywhere,
Trying to be still like a stone

I'll get it if you need it,
I'll search if you can't see it,
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.
I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it
When you heard what I told you,
When you get worried I'll be your soldier

My aim is so true,
I wanna show you,
I'll try forever,
I'm never gonna say "surrender"

I'll get it if you need it,
I'll search if you can't see it,
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
You get hurt, I'll take your pain
I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it,
When you heard what I told you,
When you get worried I'll be your soldier

I'll be your soldier
Well I'll be, oh I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier

Song 4 - Miracle
Say it once, tell me twice
Are you certain I'm alright?
Just a sign, to remind me
That tomorrow's worth the fight
Ever changing the storyline that keeps me alive
So make a wish, and say…
Give me life, give me love
Scarlet angel from above
Not so low, not so high
Keep it perfectly disguised

Ever changing the storyline that keeps me alive
My Mona Lisa's making me smile
Right before my eyes

Take another look
Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are…
The miracle in me

Show me faith, like you do
I'm amazed at how you move
Side to side, front to back
You know how to make it last

Ever changing the storyline that keeps us alive
My Mona Lisa's making me smile
Right before my eyes

Take another look
Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are…
The miracle in me

These are the moments you can't pass back
Let's turn the water to wine
One more time

Take another look
Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are…
The miracle in me

The miracle in me
You're the miracle in me

Song 5 - You Are The Light
I see the shadows they're towering
I close my eyes and pass them by
I feel the fear and I'm cowering
Wish I could find a way to rise
I know it's underneath the skin
It's just beneath the surface

I want to run
I want to hide
Am I awake?
Am I alive?
I don't know the way
The dark leaves me blind
But you are the light
You are the light

I feel the panic dividing me
The worry grows,
nowhere to go
And I hold my breath down inside of me
Wish I could find this heart of mine
I know it's underneath the skin
It's just beneath the surface

I want to run
I want to hide
Am I awake?
Am I alive?
I don't know the way
The dark leaves me blind
But you are the light
You are the light

I see where you are
In the distance
Too far from myself
You're daring to cross
Just to hold me
And you love me, love me
Carry me home in the night

I want to run
I want to hide
Am I awake?
Am I alive?
I don't know the way
The dark leaves me blind
But you are the light
You are the light

Song 6 - Remind Me
Please lay a little longer
Weight is on my shoulders,
holding me down
Some days,
it can't get much darker
Feel it more than ever
When you're not around

When I think about love,
you are right beside me
When I think about us,
you will always find me
When my heart is lost,
I know that you'll guide me
I think about all the little things that still remind me

These days, reflection's like a stranger
You are so much braver,
braver than me
Ohh save me,
save me from my demons
Teach me to defeat them
And leave me at peace

When I think about love,
you are right beside me
When I think about us,
you will always find me
When my heart is lost,
I know that you'll guide me
I think about all the little things that still remind me

When I'm living like there's nothing left to lose
When I turn my back on everything I knew
When I settle for the silence in the room
Ohh remind me
Remind me
Remind me
Remind me of you

So I think about love,
and you're right beside me
When I think about us,
I know that you'll find me
When my heart gets lost,
I know that you'll guide me
I think about all the little things that still remind me
I think about all the little things that still remind me

All my life
You'll remind me

Song 7 - Waste My Time
Hold onto me
Like we're the only ones that see
The sky above us falling down
And breathe in my ear
Like we're the only ones that hear
The mountains crashing down

I had wasted most of my life
Playing games that I knew I'd lose
Let me sing to you,
just sit here don't move
I just wanna waste some time with you

So take my hand
I don't understand
How they kept us apart for so long
And smile so I can see
That it's really you in front of me
'Cause that's still just so hard to believe

I have wasted most of my life
Playing games that I knew I'd lose
Let me sing to you
Just sit here don't move
I just wanna waste some time with you

Forcing back the tears
Over all the years
Boarding up the door
And throwing my hope to the floor
I could not forget
Now it all makes sense
That you're here with me
And I never never want to leave

I would've wasted most of my life
Never even knowing you
Now you sing to me and I still don't believe
That you wanna waste some time with me
Let me sing to you,
just sit here don't move
I just wanna waste some time with you
And now you sing to me,
and I still don't believe
That you wanna waste your time with me

Song 8 - I'll Follow You
If I could find assurance to leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
And all my doubt is a staircase for you
Opened out of this maze

The first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound

I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm
I'll follow you down while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down

You can have the money and the world
The angels and the pearls
Even trademark the color blue
Just like the tower we never built
In the shadow of all the guilt
When the other hand was pointed at you

Yeah the first step is the one you believe in
And the second one might be profound

I'll follow you down, through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm.
I'll follow you down, while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down...

...to where forever lies
Without a doubt I'm on your side
There's nowhere else that I would rather be
I'm not about to compromise,
Give you up to say goodbye
I'll guide you through the deep
I'll keep you close to me

I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm.
I'll follow you down while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you...

If I could find assurance to leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
I'll follow you down

Song 9 - Perfectly Perfect
You might not think you're a supermodel
But you look like one to me
I'd rather have your picture on my phone
Than on the cover of a magazine
It's hard to think that a girl like you
Could have any insecurities
It's funny how all the things you would change
Are all things that are cute to me
And I know you don't believe me
And you think that I'm a fool
But I don't care

Maybe
You'll never see in you what I see
The little things you do that make me go crazy
I'm not crazy
You're perfectly perfect to me

You brush it off every time I tell you
Your smile lights up the room
And I'm guessing that you don't even notice
The whole world notices you
You think you're clumsy
I think you're cool
You say you're typical
But I think you rule
Sometimes I wonder if you'll ever believe
That I wrote this song for you

Maybe
You'll never see in you what I see
The little things you do that make me go crazy
I'm not crazy
You're perfectly perfect

Someday
You're gonna see you're beautiful this way
And that you're always gonna make me go crazy
I'm not crazy
You're perfectly perfect to me

You don't have to try
Change a single thing
‘Cause just the way you are
Is sweeter than anything
Maybe I'm a fool but it's always been you
‘Cause no one ever makes me smile the way you do

Maybe
You'll never see in you what I see
The little things you do that make me go crazy
I'm not crazy
You're perfectly perfect

Someday
You're gonna see you're beautiful this way
And that you're always gonna make me go crazy
I'm not crazy
You're perfectly perfect to me

Woah woah yeah
You're perfectly perfect to me
Woah woah
Yeah, you're perfectly perfect to me

Song 10 - This Song Saved My Life
I wanna start by letting you know this
Because of you my life has a purpose
You helped me be who I am today
I see myself in every word you say
Sometimes it feels like nobody gets me
I'm trapped in a world
Where everyone hates me
There's so much that I'm going through
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you

I was broken
I was choking
I was lost
This song saved my life
I was bleeding
Stopped believing
Could have died
This song saved my life
I was down
I was drowning
But it came on just in time

I wanna start by letting you know this
Because of you my life has a purpose
You helped me be who I am today
I see myself in every word you say
Sometimes it feels like nobody gets me trapped in a world
Where everyone hates me
There's so much that I'm going through
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you

I was broken
I was choking
I was lost
This song saved my life
I was bleeding
Stopped believing
Could have died
This song saved my life
I was down
I was drowning
But it came on just in time
This song saved my life

Sometimes I feel like you've known me forever
You always know how to make me feel better
Because of you my dad and me
Are so much closer than we used to be
You're my escape when I'm stuck in this small town
I turn you up whenever I feel down
You let me know like no one else
That it's ok to be myself

I was broken
I was choking
I was lost
This song saved my life
I was bleeding
Stopped believing
Could have died
This song saved my life
I was down
I was drowning
But it came on just in time
This song saved my life

You'll never know what it means to me
That I'm not alone,
that I'll never have to be

I was broken
I was chucking
I was lost
This song saved my life
I was bleeding
Stopped believing
Could have died
This song saved my life
I was down
I was drowning
But it came on just in time
This song saved my life


My life, my life
This song saved my life
My life, my life
This song saved my life
My life, my life
This song saved my life
My life, my live

You saved my life

Song 11 - Close Your Eyes
Close your eyes
Let me tell you all the reasons why
I think you're one of a kind
Here's to you
The one that always pulls us through
Always do what you gotta do
You're one of a kind
Thank God you're mine

You're an angel dressed in armor
You're the fair in every fight
You're my life and my safe harbor
Where the sun sets every night
And if my love is blind
I don't want to see the light

It's your beauty that betrays you
Your smile gives you away
Cause you're made of strength and mercy
And my soul is yours to save
I know this much is true
When my world was dark and blue
I know the only one who rescued me was you

Close your eyes
Let me tell you all the reasons why
You're never gonna to have to cry
Because you're one of a kind
Yeah, here's to you
The one that always pulls us through
You always do what you gotta do, baby
Because you're one of a kind

When your love pours down on me
I know I'm finally free
So I tell you gratefully
Every single beat in my heart is yours to keep

So close your eyes
Let me tell you all the reasons why babe
You're never going to have to cry baby
Because you're one of a kind
Yeah, here's to you
You're the one that always pulls us through
You always do what you got to do, babe
'Cause you're one of a kind

You're the reason why I'm breathing
With a little look my way
You're the reason that I'm feeling
It's finally safe to stay

Song 12 - Everything
You're a falling star, you're the get-away car
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day
And you're the perfect thing to say

And you play it coy but it's kinda cute
Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do
Baby, don't pretend that you don't know it's true
'Cause you can see it when I look at you

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my every day

And I can't believe, uh, that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you, baby, just because I can
Whatever comes our way, ah, we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything

So, I sing - la, la, la, la, la, la, la

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything

You're every song,
And I sing along
'Cause you're my everything
Yeah, yeah

You're my everything

Song 13 - You're Still The One
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

They said, "I bet they'll never make it."
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong

(you're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(you're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

Ain't nothing better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missing

They said, "I bet they'll never make it."
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

(you're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(you're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

You're still the one
(you're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(you're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby

Song 14 - Your Love
I wonder how I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for the world in shades of gray
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why
And I looked into your eyes
Where the road stretched out in front of me
And I realized

I'd never lived
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
And I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again,
I wasn't really livin'

I'd never lived...
Before your love

I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams, seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know how
I'd survive without your kiss
Cuz you've given me
A reason to exist

I'd never lived
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again,
I wasn't really livin'

I'd never lived,
before your love
I'd never lived,
before your love

And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you've breathed your love into me just in time

I'd never lived
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really livin'

I'd never lived
Yeah,
I'd never lived
without your love

And now I live,
with your love

is on the back of the CD cover."

((Why are they all so frigging cute?? XD))

"Oh man, I meant fate. I keep mixing those two up which is quite embarrassing.", Emily replied, laughing as Ash imitated her crazy whale sounds.
"Oh, but baby, I love crazy.", she winked, ruffling his hair before she kissed him deeply.
"I just love you so much, you have no idea..."
Suddenly her eyes widened and she started laughing even harder.
"Oh god. Okay okay, wait!"
She climbed off of Ash and made her way to the bathroom, giggling as she made her way back - having switched into something new.
"Bought this when I was still thinking you were paying the basketball more attention than me, so I thought- you know?", she turned around for a moment to show Ash everything - especially her butt, as fhe slip was really, really, really small. Okay maybe it was a thong but still.
"I'm crazy, aren't I?"

Cole frowned, taking his hand away from Bailey's belly and shaking his head.
"You do know that I can read your thoughts, right? And you do know that if you don't make it, neither will I. So it's ride together, or die together.", he replied, sighing silently. "Baby, we will find a way. We got me, an unicorn and two gods in our family. We'll be fine. All three of us, okay?"
He just stroke over her back, smiling happily as he saw how she cuddled against him.
She was so sweet.
"I love you, too, babe. Soooo much."

"Even though I don't know what you are talking about, I am happy that it's just false alarm and nothing bad.", Emma replied, smiling softly as she cuddled against her husband, watching their newborn with big eyes.
"I've said it a billion times already, but she really is perfect. Just like you."
 
((omg they are SO cute *_* <3))

Rachel didn't waste a minute and immedately put the CD in her Walkman (yes, one of those old retro things nobody used anymore) and listened to it, hoping Jim wouldn't mind.
By the middle of the second song, she paused to get herself a box with tissues, and by the end of the sixth song, she was already sitting in a pile of soaked tissues, her eyes red, but sparkling.
Pausing once more, she soaked the next tissue, before she threw herself into Jim's arms and just went on soaking- this time his bare chest.
"Thank you", she half cried, half giggled as she let go of jim and looked at him again. "It's so amazing... You are so amazing, and cute and romantic and- I need another tissue."
Wiping her tears away once more, she cuddled against Jim tightly, closing her eyes as she buried her face into his chest with a peaceful, happy sigh.
"This is the most amazing and wonderful thing someone ever did for me. Thank you so much, honey."

((Because we are horribly cute too XD))

"Completely bonkers", Ash laughed, before he just leaned back into the pillow and rolled around onto his face,still giggling.
"Don't get me wrong, you sure look sexy, but I prefer you without a basketball on your left and a hoop on your right boob", he chuckled, looking up again with a soft smirk.
Honestly, he wasn't that much of a lingerie-person. Especially not when it came down to straps and thongs and stuff like that.
Yeah, some would probably call him boring, but for him, most of those 'sexy' outfits ranged somewhere between awkward and ridiculous.
"Isn't that uncomfortable as heck?"

Bailey looked up into Cole's eyes for a while, hers wide.he really seemed to believe in it, that they would make it and everything would be good.
And if he was so positive about the outcome, she could be too, right?
"Okay okay, you're right", she said with a soft smile and happily closed her eyes for a moment as he said that he loved her sooooo much.
"So, it's my birthday in two days. Means I'mma turn 18- means we can finally get down to planning nad preparing our wedding", she said with an excited grin, clapping her hands.

Sam contemplated 'their buisness' vs 'no secrets' for a few seconds, before he slightly pursed his lips and looked at Emma from the corner of her eye.
"I promised you to never have secrets from you. But if someone asks- you dont know nothing, okay?"
He gently pushed Emma down on the rocking hair beside the crib, to make sure she wouldn't faint or so.
"After the argument between Ash, Emily and you, I heard Bailey and cole talking.
Bailey is pregnant, and scared as hell because she is a bleeder. And because your argument with Ash scared the crap out of her. She at first wanted to abort, but then didn't do it because- well, you know Bailey. Cole was completely destroyed when he thought he was about to lose what would be their baby. Luckily it all ended well for them. you have no idea how excited Cole is! Really sweet. They'll be fantastic parents..."

Jim had at first thought Rachel was crying because she didn't like it, but when she threw herself into his arms he realized she had been crying because she liked it.
"I'm so glad you like it, baby.", he mumbled, wrapping his arms around her and hugging her tightly.
He had worked so hard on this.
He wrote day and night, composing the right melody and choosing the right words.
He had to build a recording studio in their garage, with a mic and all the other things necessary.
He had to play all the instruments needed; guitar, bass, piano and drums.
He had put everything into making it perfect for Rachel.
And seeing her this happy was the best reward he could've gotten.
"Do you need more tissues or did you already use my chest?"

((true though! we're super cute xD))

Emily giggled, nodding.
"Uncomfortable as hell!", she replied, quickly taking it off, throwing the bra away as well and just jumping back onto Ash to use him as a mattress.
"I had to be truly desperate to buy something like that!", she winked, kissing Ash deeply.
"I love you, baby. Like I love you so much."
Emily sighed dreamily as she just stared into Ash's beautiful eyes for a moment, grinning softly.
"Is it just me or are you too getting super impatient with waiting for our wedding?"

Cole smirked happily, nodding.
"I'm so excited for your birthday and our wedding! We'll be planning everything to make it super perfect and you'll be beautiful...", he pulled her a tad closer, softly kissing her cheek.
"You'll be the prettiest bride ever. Everyone will be jealous of me because you're so perfect..."

Emma blinked a couple of times, trying to calm herself down.
Emily pregnant.
Now Bailey too.
She wasn't even 40 yet and she would already become grandmother for the second time!
"So- they're pregnant?", she asked once again, taking a deep breath.
"Pregnant? And- pregnant?"
Emma ran her fingers through her hair, shaking her head.
"Oh god... and Cole was happy? He wasn't scared?"
 
"you are my tissue", Rachel giggled happily, cuddling into her husband's arms with a happy sigh as she cosed her eyes.
How much work this must have been, how much writing, composing, recording...
How much love he had put into every single word.
Looking up at him, she softly stroked over his cheek and kissed him deeply.
"Really honey, this is the sweetest...most amazing thing somebody has ever done for me. I couldn't be happier."
A look at the clock made her grin softly. 1 a.m. "Merry Christmas, baby", she sighed happily.

((Hell yeah I'm a sweet little candypop XD))

"Hell yeah I can't wait to pt that ring on your finger. And The only reason why I held back so much is because I was scared that your C-section scar might get hurt. Yeah even after months...", Ash admitted with a soft smile,rolling onto his side so he could gently rest his hand on Emily's hip and pull her some closer as he kissed her long and softly.
"Do you have any idea how hard that was for me? With a girlfriend like you? Dang."
He chuckled silently as he ran his nosetip over Emily's collar bone and slightly tightened his grip on her waist.
Yup, she'd probably notice- but he didn't mind it. After all that was just him admitting that she was hot,right?
"I love yo itoo,babe."

"We could already go and find a church or some other spot where we want to get married", Bailey suggested with a happy, excited smirk, before she slapped her forehead.
"I totally forgot that the Spanish side of my family will come, too. Where am I gonna store all those people?"

"Everyone is scared when it comes down to their first child, ask me", Sam chuckled softly, shrugging. "But from what he wrote me he mainly is super happy and excited."
Softly stroking over Emma's cheek,Sam smiled calmly.
"Ems, please just do yourself and our son a favor and approach it differently this time, okay? Bailey is really scared that you will start hating her like Ash..."
 
Jim quickly looked over at the clock as well, a soft sparkling appearing in his eyes as he turned back to Rachel.
"Merry Christmas to you too.", he replied, quickly hugging her. "This day will be really great! I'm so excited."
He looked at his wife with big, sparkling eyes, a peaceful and loving smile on his face.
"My chest feels as if I just came out of the shower.", he chuckled, winking. "I'm actually quite sorry I made you cry like that."

((And I'm a sweet little puppy xD))

"Do you have any idea how that was for me with a boyfriend like you - and with all those pregnancy and later on period hormones making me horny as hell?", Emily replied, giggling softly as she scooted over a little closer to Ash, pressing her naked chest against his - also naked - one.
God he was so handsome.
Hot as fuck.
And those eyes!
And cheekbones!
And sweet and caring personality and gentleman-like behavior and...
just everything about him was perfect.
"Baby, you're so perfect."
And that firm grip on her waist was driving her crazy right now.
"You know how you told me I should let you know when I'm hungry?", she asked, stroking a streak of hair out of his face, seductively biting her bottom lip.
"I'm hungry for you.", she whispered to his ear, a mischievous smile on her face as she just innocently cuddled against him once more.

"In a hotel?", Cole suggested, tilting his head. "A guy I've been gaming with still owes me one. His family owns an hotel, and I bet he can make it cheap for us to 'store' your family - depending on where you wish to marry. Though we of course could teleport too."
He ran his hand through his hair, thinking.
"Is it just me or would a beach wedding be really beautiful...?"

"Oh but I don't hate Ash!", Emma protested, shaking her head. "I'm just scared about Emily. I don't want him to hurt her. I know my son and I know he would never leave Bailey. I'm just... you know how most men are these days. Leaving their perfect girlfriends or wives for some younger girl with big, plastic boobs."
Emma sighed silently, wrapping her arms around herself.
"I'm just really scared."
 
"don't be sorry you hottie dork!", Rachel giggled happily as she cuddled against her Jim tightly with a happy grin on her face, her eyes lighting up like the sun.
"Why should you be sorry? For making me the happiest woman on earth? For being the sweetest husband ever? Goddamn you are-"
Giggling softly, she just jumped into his arms once more and threw Jim over, with a sound that was somewhere between 'attacking kitten' and 'giggling Rachel'.
" -just. So. awesome!", She added happily, kissing him all over his face before she lay her head on his chest and softly cuddled against him, her fingers gently stroking over his chest and belly.
"I love you so crazily much, my chocolate puppy."

((Who let the dogs out?! XD))

Ash just wanted to get serious, when suddenly his ear twitched slightly and he immediately pulled the blanket over both of them.
"Uncle Saaaaam-! Why are you standing in our living room?!"
"I didn't mean to disturb you but I could really use your help, for our all sake", his uncle's voice answered, Ash just rolling his eyes annoyedly.
"Hold on right there!", Ash sighed annoyedly, gave Emily a deep kiss and got up, went to the wardrobe to change into some simple jeans and light blue button up shirt before he went into the living room.
"I'll bring your fiance back in just a minute!", Sam's voice came from the living room, before he teleported Ash and himself to his and Emma's home.
"Okay, this has to be fixed now, because honestly, I'm tired of being in your crossfire.", Sam huffed frustratedly. Yes, he normally was a very patient person. But they weren't getting anywhere for ages now.
"What am I supposed to say?", Ash sighed, shaking his head. "It's like one step forward and two steps back. whatever I do, it apparently always is wrong to you", he mumbled sadly.
"I don't need you to tell me I could never hold a candle to her. I'm very well aware of that. I know she is stronger than me, braver than me... Just... Better than me. I know she could have ever guy out there, and no, I don't know why out of all those men out there she chose me. I have no idea."
By now, his face was just dead tired and hurt.
When did I start crying?!
Scoffing, he just wiped his tears away before a desperate determination took over his sadness and he stared right into Emma's eyes. "But even though I don't understand it, I know that Emily loves me, that she relies on me and wants me in her life. And I love her, more Than I could ever make anyone understand. Just as I love our kids. And you can have a go at me as often as you want- I will stay right by her side.", He mumbled hurt.

Bailey's eyes widened at Cole's suggestion, and a wide grin spread on her face.
"Oh wow, I was thinking about suggesting a beach wedding, too!", She chuckled with sparkling eyes, taking his hands as she softly kissed his cheek.
"Aaaand- I have a honeymoon-surprise for you! Bet you'll love it!"
She sighed calmly as she cuddled into Cole's chest, but let out a silent scoff when a new message on her phone brought her back into reality.
"She's there. We should go and get the money, and then never see her again."
 
Jim was enjoying Rachel's soft touches, his eyes sparkling like a sky full of stars, his smile wide and loving.
Life was perfect. His family was perfect.
He would've never thought to end up like this.
With the most perfect wife, the most perfect children, in the most perfect house - the most perfect family.
"I love you even more, baby."
He softly kissed her forehead, taking a deep, peaceful breath before he cuddled against her a bit tighter.
"And I'm just trying to be the husband you deserve, and even though I know I can never be enough, I'm glad to see you're happy."

((it was me XD))

Emily let out an annoyed groan as Ash disappeared because of Sam, crossing her arms as she leaned back in their bed.
"Are you kidding me, Sam?! NOW? URGH-"
She just frustratedly mumbled some things to herself, burying herself under the blanket with a frown.
"Just when we're about to- SAM REALLY?!"
She knew both Sam and Ash weren't there anymore, but that didn't keep her from annoyedly groaning and swearing at her stepfather -
who as well almost saw her naked!

"Ash-", Emma sighed silently, remembering what Sam had told her in the hospital, and got up to hug her future son-in-law.
"I don't hate you, neither do I want you to leave my daughter- I'm just really scared about it. Emily loves you more than anything, and I just keep hearing and reading stories about men leaving their wives and kids for some younger girl with huge tits and what more... I'm just scared you'll leave her too, because I know how difficult she can be sometimes-"
Emma sighed, shaking her head.
"And maybe I'm scared I'll lose Emily because of you. It's true that we've never had a very good relationship, but now with you... I'm afraid she'll never want to see me again."

Cole raised an eyebrow at Bailey saying she already had a honeymoon surprise for him, but frowned when she got the text message that her biological mother was there.
He quickly threw on a tight t-shirt that made his muscles stand out, just so that bitch wouldn't even think about touching Bailey - and got up from the bed.
"Alright then. Let's get this over with."
 
"you already are", Rachel whispered as she looked up into his eyes with deepest love in her gaze.
Yeah, he still didn't fully understand how perfectly imperfect he was to her, but she didn't mind reminding him every day.
"I've met many amazing people in my life. But you? You are just-"
She sighed happily before she kissed him softly, her eyes sparkling brightly when she looked into his for a moment. So amazing.
So perfect.
"Look at everything you did for us. For me. Quit drinking, smoking, try to swear less when the kids are around, overcame yourself and go to therapy- honey you are an amazing person. And you are the most perfect husband I could ever dream of."
Yeah, this man right there- he was everything.

((Why you do me like that? XD #Tyler))

Sam just made a small one-way portal appear so Emily could watch without being seen. After all this was about her, too.
Ash let out a silent scoff before he looked down into Emma's eyes.
"Okay, first- I'm glad you're finally talking to me like I'm a person instead of some parasite that's sucking your daughter's life out", he said completely neutrally, before his expression softened and he gently stroked a streak of hair out of her face, out of habit from Emily.
"And, Emma- those guys who leave their families are 50% actors and models who need headlines, and 50% midlife crisis. And I'm far from both."
He sighed softly.
As Ash looked around for a moment and finally took a seat at Sam's Grand piano.
"I'm more like my father when it comes down to explaining my feelings. Quite bad. But I'm good at writing songs."
He started to play a soft Melody, his fingers dancing over the keys while he just locked his eyes to a photo of Emily on the wall with a soft, loving smile.
"Would you help me to find a new way
Would you guide me through all this again
Don't let me slip away
I need you here till the very end
So stay here with me
There's so much love in your smile when I look at your face
And I'm here to stay
You're my first and my last loving
You're my escape

So tell me you'll be right here with me
Hearing your voice is like hearing an angel sing
Through the good and bad and all in between
You're the one I want and the one I need
And I know
Know...

You taught me to live each day
To live each day like it's my last
I won't make you turn away
So come with me and never look back
After all that we've been through
You are still by my side and I'm grateful you're there and I, I love you
You're my best friend and I want you to know I care

So tell me you'll be right here with me
Hearing your voice is like hearing an angel sing
Through the good and bad and all in between
You're the one I want and the one I need
And I know...

So this is how we planned it knowing we won't be alone
And this is how it's supposed to be when you knew it all along

So tell me you'll be right here with me
Hearing your voice is like hearing an angel sing
Through the good and bad and all in between
You're the one I want and the one I need
So tell me you'll be right here with me
Hearing your voice is like hearing an angel sing
Through the good and bad and all in between
You're the one I want and the one I need"

((This is the song, btw <3))

Bailey just nodded, before she teleported herself and Cole onto the empty, streetlamp-lit roads of the city.
The woman who stood a couple of feet away, didn't react at first.
"Disculpe-", she spoke up as Bailey approached with a posture and gaze that was model-worthy.
"-eh- sorry. You didn't coincidentally see a girl around here? About 5'5 tall, chubby, big glasses, thin brown hair?", She asked with a thick Spanish accent.
Bailey just smirked her most evil little smirk.
"You're standing in front of her."
Valentine's entire composure was blown away in a second and made space for an epic jaw drop.
"Bailey?!", She gasped, approaching a step.
"One step closer and my fiance will atomize your ass", Bailey just said totally casually with a motion of her head in Cole's direction.
"But- you were so- and now you-''
"I'm not here to bond over past memories. I'm here for my money and nothing else."
"But-"
"Too little, too late."
"Bailey-"
"S-T-F-U."
"Perdon?"
"Shut the fuck up."
 
Jim looked at Rachel with big eyes, a sincere smile appearing on his face as he gently pressed his forehead against hers, peacefully closing his eyes.
She was right.
Jim had given up a lot of his old habits to make Rachel happy, and himself a better person.
He'd stopped smoking.
Stopped his drug-habit.
Stopped drinking.
Tried to hold himself in with swearing as much as possible.
Had given up his materialistic weapons.
He hadn't only given up habits to make Rachel happy and proud, he had also picked up new ones.
He'd started showing more emotions and trying to put them into words.
He had started being more careful with what he chose to say and what he did.
He had started watching videos and reading articles about how to be a better man, a good husband and father, all in all on how to do stuff he didn't know. He even knew how to braid now! Or well... almost.
Jim had changed so much, in a good way, and that all thanks to the wonderful woman in his life.
"I might be amazing to some, but you baby, you are the most amazing of all. You took... the most damaged car wreck, and turned it into something beautiful even though nobody else ever believed in it being able to shine and function properly. Sure, it still has it's quirks and some dents here and there, but it's perfect to you. And that's all that matters."

((I don't get it XD))

Emily was hugging Ash's pillow, taking in the scent that still lingered on it, crying heavy tears.
Why was Ash so perfect?
He was so sweet and cute and sweet and amazing and sweet-
"AHHHHH-", Emily let out a long squeal, the squeal any fangirl or fanboy would recognize, and quickly grabbed some tissues to blow her nose.
"I love him so muuuchhhh-"

Emma quickly grabbed a tissue as well, wiping her tears away, and walked up to the piano where she quickly gave Ash a tight hug.
"...Ash... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I said, and thought, and I'm sorry I hurt you that much with it... somebody who would plan on leaving their wife and kids for someone else wouldn't write such a song, and for sure wouldn't admit them being not good enough."
She took a deep breath, smiling softly.
"You are good enough, and Emily loves you so much... she'll never stop. She's too stubborn.", she winked, softly ruffling Ash's hair.
"I really am truly sorry..."

"Back off.", Cole hissed, his eyes showing a burning forest once again.
He usually was quite a calm person, but when it came down to Bailey - he was from zero to hundred in milliseconds.
"You had your chance, and you blew it. And like Bailey said - one step closer and I'll burn you to ashes."
He protectively took one step forward and put his left arm in front of Bailey, his entire body tense and ready to blow up someone's ass if needed.
"The money. Now."
 
"and should I tell you the most amazing part of all that?", Rachel whispered proudly, just enjoying the closeness from leaning their foreheads against eachother.
"Every change, everything you did so well; it wasn't my credit- it was yours."
Smiling lovingly, she looked up into his eyes, softly intertwining her fingers with his while her free hand stroked through his hair.
"We can't change the people around us. They can only change themselves, and all I did was give you an occasional nudge in the right direction. I gave you the motivation- but the strength it took was all yours. You can be really proud of yourself, sweetie. I know I am."
Sighing happily, she cuddled her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes with a loving smile.
Those hadn't just been empty words or anything. Right from the start she had seen something in him nobody else had seen. She had seen such a bright and strong soul, confined in a cage of doubt and pain, unable to see that the key was in his own hands. All she had done was open his eyes and encourage him.
"Sooo,i mean, we'll give you the gift we add worked together on for you when we're all there, of course, but I figured I could already make you a bit curious and tell you everyone who added to it. You wanna know it?"

((Gibberish xD))

Ash smiled gently as he hugged Emma back and gave her a pat on the back.
"It's okay Emma, we're a family after all. We forgive each other."
God, finally!
It had taken her long enough to understand and get into her thick skull how much he loved Emily.
"Now, if you would excuse me- I'd like to go home."
"Oh sure", Sam said with a soft smiel and quickly teleported Ash back into the living room of their own house.
Ash's eyeswidened immediately when he came into the bedroom and saw Emily crying. He hasted to her, wrapped his arms around her tightly and getly stroked over her back. "Ems what's wrong?!", He asked sorrowfully, looking at her with bg eyes.

Valentina's expression just turned completely tired, as if she had aged by at least twenty years I one second.
"I did what I had to do", she mumbled, throwing a bag to Bailey and cole.
"Remember you were constantly in the hospital, Bailey?"
Bailey just frowned. "Yeah, sure. Underdeveloped left lung, but the operation fixed that."
"Even not. Why on Earth should they at first give you medication for an anatomical problem?"
Bailey just rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Get to the point."
"I had to find a way to pay the treatment of your lung cancer. But with my job back then? No chance."
Bailey just stumbled backwards, her eyes wide as she pushed her hand against the scar that reached from her breastbone down to her belly button.
"You're lying-"
"Unfolding a lung is an invasive surgery, Bailey. Implanting a lung not."
"W- but why should you do all that just to leave us? That doesn't make sense. You're lying."
"I was Arrested for murder."
Bailey just didn't say anything anymore. Mainly because her face had gained the color of chalk and she was leaning against Cole heavily to not simply fall over. "You fucking killed someone?!"
"The chance of a donor coming up that would fit your blood typeAB negative was less than 1%. you wouldn't have survived the wait."
And Bailey lastly completely fainted.
 
"Well and even if I were the one to have changed all that, you still gave me the strength I needed. You believed in me, and you never stopped."
Jim closed his eyes for a moment, enjoying Rachel stroking his hair, a gentle smile on his face.
Rachel really had saved him on so many occasions, and he didn't mean the times during war.
She had saved him from building up his walls so high that not even he himself could have made them crumble.
She had saved himself on more occasions than he could remember from drowning in his own pain.
She had saved him from hurting others countless of times.
She saved him.
"Alright, spit it out.", he replied, winking. "Rose already gave me a tip but to be honest, I'm still in the black about it."

((oh yeah didn't think of that xD))

"You!", Emily called back, burying her face into Ash's chest, digging her fingers into his sides.
"You are so perfect and sweet and beautiful and I love you so very much and-"
She bent her head back to take a deep breath, and lastly just looked at Ash with big, loving eyes.
"I suggest it was Sam who did it, but he opened a one way portal so I could see and hear what you were doing. And then you played that song and I-"
Tears started rolling down her cheeks again as she thought of how beautiful and sweet it was, cuddling against her fiancé.
"I'm sorry if you didn't want me to hear it, but baby it's the most beautiful song I have ever heard, and the most amazing thing anyone ever did for me...", she whispered, making Ash's shirt disappear so she could just cuddle against his bare chest.
"I love you so much."

Luckily Cole had just been able to catch Bailey in his arms, carefully going down onto his knees to put Bailey down on the floor.
"Babe?", he mumbled, pressing his head against her chest to hear her heartbeat.
She wasn't dead.
Of course she wasn't, else he would've been too.
Stupid.
"Is this what you wanted?", Cole growled at her mother, a scary threatening expression in his eyes.
"I don't believe what you said. Why do all that to then leave your husband and children for some younger bodybuilder? And even if your story were true, why didn't you ever give your family a hint? Tell them you didn't leave them for somebody else. Tell them you still loved them. And it still didn't give you the right to treat Bailey like you did. Do you have any idea how much you hurt your family with leaving them? They all have trust issues, and even though Bailey knows I won't leave her she can't stop being afraid I'll leave her behind just like you did with your family!"
He shook his head, grabbed the bag with money and lastly picked Bailey up as well, gently carrying her in his arms.
"No matter what you did or why you did it, it's too late. You had your chance, and you blew it. And I will surely not let some idiot-mom who thinks the damage she did will be repaired after a talk or two, into the life of my future wife and child. And just so you know - I have no problem killing you off if you ever only think of setting foot into my family's direction. Adiõs.", and with that he teleported Bailey and himself back into their bedroom, where he quickly put Bailey on the bed after he had made sure the money was safe.
Cole grabbed some water and poured some of it down onto Bailey's face, covering her under the comfy blanket after he had made some joggers and a comfy pullover appear on her.
"I'm here, baby. Can you hear me? Babe?"
 
"because I never doubted you would break out of your cage-", Rachel mumbled with a loving smile as she gently ran her fingers down Jim's back, carefully tracing one of his scars there. She could remember the day he had gotten that injury. The day they had come together. James' demon and his belt...
She hadn't hesitated a second to reveal who and what she really was to heal those wounds. That had been the moment when she had understood that she would go through hell and back for that cold, distant boy, who actually just needed some warmth and closeness.
"-and because I love you, Mr. Davis."
After planting a soft kiss on his neck, she looked up at him with a wide smile.
"Sooo, all our kids helped with it, your parents, your siblings including Jack, and Rex, of course. Well and me but that's clear."

((Stupido! XD))

Ah just grinned softly as he pulled Emily closer into his arms and kissed her deeply.
"I had actually planned to play it for you on your birthday, but okay", he chuckled.
Slowly kissing her shoulders upwards, he smiled at his fiancee with bedroom eyes.
"If I remember correctly, hot girl-"
Smirking, he made his pants vanish as well and winked at her as he pulled her closer by her thigh. "We stopped somewhere here before Sam interrupted our romantic evening, didn't we?"
All of a sudden, he just yawned and turned around on his belly- his typical sleeping pose.
"Excepting you changed your mind. In that case I will just go to sleep now."

Bailey suddenly jumped out of the bed, raced into the bathroom and vomited into the toilet.
As she came back after a few minutes, her steps were insecure and kind of wobbly, her eyes glazed and gaze far away.
"Someone died... Just so I would survive", she whispered, almost throwing up again.
"Who? And who would that person have been... What life did she destroy in her insanity?"
She just lay down in bed again, seeming kind of catatonic as she just started blankly at the ceiling, before she turned her head to look at Cole.
"I need to call your step cousin."
 
"What on earth could it be? What needs that many people to make?", Jim asked, quite confused, raising an eyebrow at his wife.
No matter what it would be though, he knew he'd love it. He loved everything his family did.
Alright excepting making him mad. Or annoyed. Or sad. Or whatever else.
"I really am a lucky guy with a family like this.", he mumbled dreamily, hugging his wife tightly before kissing her deeply.
"I love you so much."

((I know XD))

"Hell no!", Emily called, jumping onto Ash's back and tickling his sides for a moment, before she climbed off of him and lay down on her side, her back turned to him.
"But if you're too tired now then I'll have to accept that.", she mumbled, teasingly pressing her butt against his side, an evil grin on her face.
"After all your hands are probably really tired after playing piano."

"No.", Cole just replied, crossing his arms and shaking his head - looking slightly like a father who was forbidding their stubborn child not to eat mud.
"You are not going to call anyone. I know what you want to do. You want to see who that person would've been hadn't your mother killed them, but baby think about it. Hadn't she done that, you would've died - and I would've been dead too. When we first met in that donut shop, I was still suicidal. I didn't kill myself because of you, Bailey. You are the only reason why I'm still alive, and I'm not exaggerating there. I had my note ready, I knew where and how I'd do it - but you, just by being you and by being there for me, you saved me. And no, nobody else would've been able to. Not my family, nobody. So decide for yourself, do you want to feel sad for yourself because someone you don't even know died? Or do you want to accept that it happened and that it made your recovery possible, which made it possible for you to save me and later on hundreds of others?"
 
Rachel smiled softly as she looked around mischievously, her eyes narrowed.
"Okay, but you'll be surprised nevertheless, alright?", She chuckled softly, before she got her phone from the bedside table and showed Jim a picture.
"Remember you always were kind of insecure about not knowing any bedtime stories? We all came together and collected our favorite childhood bedtime stories, and wrote them down for you. Some are funny, some deep, some chilling... We came up with over 15 stories together, and we made sure they wouldn't be as boring as snow-white", she chuckled. I hope you'll like it."
She looked at her husband with a soft, loving smile before she kissed him back and pulled him closer to her.
"I love you just as much, honey."

((Good XD))

"Oh you have no idea what my hands are capable of", Ash mumbled with an evil smirk as he turned on his side again and pressed himself against his fiancee's back, one hand pulling her closer by her hip, the other one stroking over her body.
Kissing her shoulders, he grinned evil.
"Damn baby, you are hot", he whispered to her ear.

Bailey just looked At Cole with big, sorrowful eyes before she wrapped her arms around him tightly and pulled him into a close, firm hug.
"But not anymore, right...?", She whispered silently, burying her face into Cole's shoulder.
"You know, I actually hadn't planned to go to Dunkin donuts, but to the book store two streets away. But when I walked past DD's there suddenly was this... Overwhelming gut feeling that something horrible would happen if I would walk on instead of entering... That's the only reason I was even there."
A soft, loving smile spread on her face as she gently stroked over Cole's cheek and leaned her forehead against his, closing her eyes.
"And no five minutes later I met the love of my life and saved him from killing himself- all because I hadn't walked on. Man I will never doubt my intuition ever again."
Opening her eyes again and looking deep into his, she blinked a couple of times, as if she still couldn't believe that he really was here and loved her so much, before she leaned forwards to kiss him long and gently, cuddling against him tightly.
"You know what?", She whispered softly. "I don't think I would have ever had a boyfriend, let alone a family with someone, if I hadn't met you. Before you came into my life, I was thinking that I was aromantic. Never felt this kind of... Gravity I feel for you."
Chuckling silently, she softly nudged his cheek with her nosetip and took his hand to intertwine their fingers.
"Apparently, I was wrong. I'm Coleromantic."
 
Jim looked at the picture with big eyes, listening closely to what Rachel said.
"You all did that... for me?", he asked silently, not believing that his family really was that awesome.
Jim didn't know any bedtime stories and therefore always asked Rachel to tell the kids some.
But now he could read stories to them, like a good father.
"I don't know what to say...", he mumbled, leaning his head against Rachel's, smiling happily.
"I love it. Thank you."

((Great xD))

"Well why don't you show me what those hands of yours can do?", Emily whispered, her breath deepening as she closed her eyes to enjoy Ash's closeness and him stroking over her body.
"You make me go crazy.", she smirked evily, turning around so she could press her chest against his, their bodies not even an inch apart from each other.
"I love you, Ashley."

"No, of course not. Why would I be suicidal with the love of my life next to me?", Cole asked, smiling lovingly as he stroke over Bailey's cheek.
"You really are amazing, baby. You saved me. And I can't thank you enough for it.", he gently kissed her cheek, pulling her into a tight hug.
"I'm Baileyromantic.", he winked, sighing silently. "You really are perfect, baby. And I don't want you to feel down because of what your mother said. You know it could've just been a trick to try and come back into your life.", he mumbled, just pulling her a tad tighter into a deep kiss.
"I really hope that you know how much you mean to me."
 
Smiling gently, Rachel ruffled Jim's hair for a moment, and kissed his cheek as he leaned his head against hers.
"Everything for our favourite devil, honey", she said smirking.
At the sound of small feet walking up to their bedroom door, Rachel looked up, just to find William standing in the doorway with a paper in his hand.
"I was so excited that I couldn't sleep anymore", he said with big puppy eyes. "So I thought, I could already give you your Christmas gift and the we could cuddle..."

"Are you sure you're ready for my awesomeness?", Ash growled playfully and kissed Emily deeply.
"You woke a monster there, you know that."
Chuckling, he pulled her evebcloser, if that was even still possible.
((Aaaand- fade X'D have fun guys xD))

Bailey smiled lovingly as she looked up into Cole's beautiful eyes.
Goddamn could a person be any more perfect that him?
Not that he was only good-looking as hell and had the cutest smile o earth and beyond- he also was smart and sweet, could be so romantic and heartwarming, and she had rarely ever met someone as caring as him.
And he was hers.
Her amazing fiance.
"I'm getting a rough idea on how much I mean to you", she whispered and kissed his neck with a soft smirk.
They'd just have to find a solution for her bleeding problem as soon as possible, but honestly, with Cole by her side, she knew that everything would work out just fine.
"Hey, baby- merry Christmas", she said with a happy grin as she handed Cole a small package with a little book-like thing inside.
All the times you saved me from bugs
Black hair...damn. My kryptonite *_*
Can't get enough of your cuddles!
Dunkin donuts got a thousand times better with you (;
Every time you look at me, the butterflies are back
Fangirling since over a year!

Oh god and your smile!

Right by your side- that's where I feel home.
Stargazing with you is so romantic and sweet!
Taking my hand is all you need to do to make me all wobbly. <3
Unbelievable how you make me fall even for the way you look over the edge of your cup in the morning, all tired.
Viral on YouTube. That is pretty dam cool, you know?
Wow- that's the first thing and the last thing I think every day: wow- this amazing guy loves me.
Xoxo- because writing that in a text message is just hella cute!!
You never fail to make me feel like no matter what the future will hold for us- we will be fine. We will be happy. And nothing could ever tear us apart. You make me feel safe and happy. And I love that. I love you.
Z- because you're my zipper hero. I don't know how, but you manage to save even the worst stuck zippers. So, Thank you for saving my clothes.
And thank you for saving my heart.
"Love you", Bailey whispered softly,seeming slightly nevous about wether Cole would like it.
 
Jim turned his head to their son, a soft smile on his face as he motioned his head to the bed, inviting William to come and cuddle with his parents.
"We aren't able to sleep either. We're all very excited.", he replied, nodding seriously, before he winked at his son afterwards.
"What hav you got there, buddy?", he asked, motioning over to the sheet of paper William had brought along with him.

((man everyone having fun here xD))

Cole looked at the little booklet Bailey had just handed him and started reading, his eyes sparkling brightly and his smile widening with every word he read - laughing out loud as he had reached the 'P'.
"I can't help but imagining you giggling evily while coming up with what to write for the P!", he chuckled, winking at his fiancée before he read on.
Everything was so sweet, with some of their inside jokes and just those small things that meant a lot to her.
As he had finished reading, he carefully put the booklet on the bed next to him so he could hug Bailey tightly, kissing her deeply.
"Baby, it's so sweet!", he replied, a soft grin on his face. "I love it- it's so cute and sweet and romantic and so much you. Baby, thank you."
 
William grinned happily as he climbed into the bed between his parents and held up the picture he had drawn so they could see it.
"I drew a picture of you, for you."
Rachel's eyes widened to the size of saucers.
"Wait, you drew that?!"
"Yeah, why?"
"Wow. How, I mean-?"
"I see the picture in my head, and just trace it with my pen in my mind- and my real hand with the pen does the same", he said shrugging, leaning Rachel to stare at Jim with a vastly impressed expression.
"It, wow, it's beautiful sweetie. Thank you very much", she mumbled lastly, with a soft smile on her face as she have her son a tight, yet gentle hug.

Bailey smiled relieved as she cuddled against Cole again and giggled silently for a moment.
"I'm glad you like, baby. And hell yeah, I was giggling like a derp while writing the p", she laughed. "Oh and, baby there's actually something I still lwanted to talk to you about, but didn't do yet-"
Sitting up so she could look straight at him, she took Cole's hand and softly played with hair fingers for a moment.
"My family is planning to move back to Spain. Needless to say I will stay right here with my favorite alien, of course."
A soft smiel spread on her face as Bailey gave him a quick kiss before speaking on.
"Since they will move away, there are two possibilities regarding my family's farm: either they sell it as quickly as possible, or... We will take over. What do you think would be best, baby?"
 
"You drew this?", Jim asked, staring at the picture with big eyes. It wasn't a surprise that their children would be artistic as well, after all Rachel and him both were too - just that she was much better at drawing than him. With some patience and time he'd probably be able to draw like her too, but honestly he really didn't have the patience to sit at a drawing for a long time.
"My god, William, this is beautiful."
He smiled happily, hugging the little boy tightly, kissing his forehead.
"Gonna frame it later on and then we'll hang it there on the wall.", he said, tilting his head at Rachel to see if she would want that too - though he knew she probably wanted to.

"Wow.", Cole mumbled, thinking. If they'd take over the farm, they of course wouldn't have to search for a house anymore - but there'd be lots of work to do.
"I'm just quickly going to tell the facts - the farmhouse is huge, so we really wouldn't have to ever think about buying a bigger house. There'd be lots of animals and land, good for the kids. Also to teach them to be responsible. However a farm is lots of work, especially with animals - which would mean we would hardly have time for our studies, plus our veteran center."
He frowned for a moment, thoughtfully running his hand through his hair.
"You know I would love to take over your family's farm, but we have to keep in mind that it's lots of work, and now with a baby in nine months... really, I don't know what to do. I think as it being where you grew up, you should decide wether you would like to take over the farm, or wether you'd be fine with selling it. Like I said, I'd be fine with both."
 
"ohh that's a great idea!", Rachel said nodding, with a wide smile on her face.
William just looked up at his parents with big, sparkling eyes, as if he had just won the world Peace price.
"Really?!", He asked excitedly, before cuddling against mommy and daddy tightly. "Daddy, you know what?! I saw a bird flying today!"
He said it as if it was the most special and amazing thing in the world- and considering that he hadn't been able to see anything for so long, it was, for him.
"It was really big, and a bit shiney. And super fast! Also pretty loud... Do all birds roar like that?"

"Yeah, I already considered that and thought about leasing the further fields to other farmers", Bailey explained nodding. "The only animals are the chickens and cows... Since Balou died..."
She frowned sadly for a moment, lowing her gaze, before she looked back up at Cole.
"Chickens are no to very small work, so the main focus will be the cows and for the evening round through the stable and everything I could employ a stableman or -woman, so we'd only have the 'shift' in the morning. Running that thing with only the two of us will be impossible, that's for sure. But if we employ two or three people to work there- keep the basics up and everything, I think it should be manageable."
Lifting her shoulders, she rested her hand on her belly for a moment, tilting her head to the side. "all I know is that I don't want our child to grow up in the city."

A high-pitched scream from the bathroom.
"MOOOOM!!", Lilly shouted, staring at her underpants.
Then it dawned on her.
Athena was out for a business meeting with some fashion magazine woman.
Fuck.
"DAAAAD!!"
this was so fucking embarrassing.
She had had stomach aches for days already, and Athena had already been guessing something like that- but still!
"Dad?? I need you to get me tampons or pads from the supermarket...! And don't you dare laughing, I'm dying in here!!"
Yeah she tried to be tough, but the crack in her voice probably gave away how scared and embarrassed she was right now.
