I wrote something for Day 9!!! (since I missed it and had a sudden idea 😂)

This one is CONSIDERABLY shorter than the one for Day 10…but I love it nonetheless

This one’s so sweet, and just…💕💖😍🥰😭❤️

DAY 9: I’m Not Sick

Her head thudded so hard she felt it in her heart.

The headache felt absolutely awful.

Still, it was better than all the throwing up she’d done that morning.

“Adinah, you really should lay down.” Her sister-in-law chided, clicking her tongue.

“Eleanor, I have things to do, don’t I? Besides, I’m…oh,” she swayed; she felt a little dizzy, “okay…maybe I can sit down for a minute.”

Eleanor nodded and helped guide her to the open chair in the kitchen.

“At least someone could convince you to sit down.”

Adinah faced her best friend, Christa Adelmann, and smiled gently. “Oh, come off it. At least I’m sitting down.”

“Christa tried to convince you several times, Adinah, and yet you didn’t listen. I may have to leave soon, but I’ll wait until Johann wakes from his nap,” Eleanor took the seat beside Adinah at the table, “but truthfully, dear, are you alright?”

“I just don’t feel the greatest.”

Eleanor stood. “Come on, go lay down on the couch in the living room.”

Adinah slowly stood, and Eleanor gently grabbed her arm, leading her to lay down on a couch in the living room.

Adinah laid down, though she didn’t want to, and slowly closed her eyes.

She didn’t know how long she’d laid down, even slept, but eventually, she heard footsteps and voices, and she slowly awoke.

“Adinah, are you alright? Are you sick?”

She sat up and looked into her husband’s light blue eyes with their faint hint of green, and she slowly shook her head. “No darling…I’m not sick. I think it’s…something else.”

Felix raised an eyebrow.

Rushed, small footsteps sounded. “Mama!”

Felix scooped three-year-old Leo into his arms, kissed his forehead, and gently set him down in Adinah’s lap. He turned around and took five-month-old Joshua into his arms, before gently handing him over to Adinah.

Felix sat down beside her, wrapping his arms around her and the two boys.

“Adinah…what do you mean it’s something else?”

“I’m not sick, Felix…I’ve felt this before…so I know what it is.”

Felix raised an eyebrow, slightly turning to face her.

Adinah smiled, gently laying a hand on her stomach, one arm still wrapped around Joshua, who merely sat in her lap. “…I’m pregnant.”

Felix’s eyes widened. “Adinah?”

“We’re going to have another baby, Felix…we’re going to have another baby!”

So much joy…so much joy.

“Adinah, are you serious right now?”

“Yes, darling, yes! I know this feeling…we’re going to have another baby!”

“Another baby?” Leo asked, his brown eyes big and wide, holding onto Joshua’s hand, ever the one to always love and dote on his little brother.

Felix laughed and scooped Leo into his arms, jumping to his feet. He held Leo high above him, spinning them both around. “Yes, Leo, yes! You’re going to be a big brother again, and so will Joshua!”

Leo giggled and reached down, wrapping his arms around his daddy’s neck. Felix wrapped his arms around Leo and held him close, before reaching over and grabbing Joshua, holding both of his sons in his arms. “You’re both going to be big brothers!”

Adinah couldn’t help but watch and smile.

Father and son…forever intertwined.

@freedomwriter76 Aww, cute family scene!

Also, that first half of Madeline and Bucky’s scene reminded me a little of Crosshair and his sister, Emerie.

She’s an Imperial scientist who’s apparently assigned to him, and saves him from being tortured a couple of times. I’m not sure if it’s because he’s her brother or if she just can’t stand watching him being hurt like that.

(Oh, and I actually didn’t write most of that, I just adapted it to my own use……..

…..Is it weird that every time you post a scene, I’m like “Hey! This reminds me of that one time….”)

 

In any case, I loved both of those!

I wrote something for Day 11!!!

This one got me…made me cry and everything 💖💖😭😭😭😭

This one is from my 3rd book in my trilogy with Leon/Riker as the MCs 😉💕

(and yes, Leon and Riker get their own trilogy XXD)

TRIGGER WARNING: Mentioned Miscarriage & Thoughts of Guilt

Day 11: Bed Rest

Riker quietly clicked on the lamp on the nightstand, gently setting down a small plate of food.

Iris stirred and slowly awoke, a soft yawn escaping her lips. She rubbed her eyes. “Morning already?”

“It’s evening, actually…you took a nap.”

“Oh Riker, I didn’t mean to…what about dinner-?”

“It’s alright…I made dinner. Here, I have some for you.”

Iris slowly sat up, gently pushing aside some of the blanket. A hand went to her stomach, but she instantly pulled it away.

Riker carefully transferred the plate from the nightstand to her hands. Iris took the first bite and smiled gently, tiredness making lines on her face that made her look older than she really was. “…It’s delicious.”

“Not as good as yours, but I did my best.”

“Oh, it’s better than mine,” Iris chewed another bite and swallowed, “but I should have made dinner.”

Riker slowly sat down on the bed, gently laying a hand on his wife’s arm. “I already told you that it’s fine. You should be resting…I think you need it.”

“I’m resting so much, Riker,” Iris closed her eyes, “and the kids have barely even seen me.”

“It’s-“

“No, it’s not okay…I should be out there but I’m not. I want to be…but I also…don’t. I just…it’s…it’s hard…so hard…”

“You need to rest…the doctor said that.”

“I know.”

Riker raised a small smile. “Besides, the kids understand…but everyone at church has been wondering about you.”

“I haven’t been to church in weeks.” Iris closed her eyes. “I’m just…struggling.”

Riker raised an eyebrow. “With what, darling?”

Iris set aside her plate, still with some food, on the nightstand.

Riker shifted closer to her and pulled his wife into his embrace, his cheek laid on her light brown hair, her head against his chest.

Iris’ tears rolled down her cheeks, wetting his pressed white undershirt with tears. “…How could God let us lose the baby, Riker…? He’s helped us come to America…helped us provide…helped us raise a family…but then he lets us lose the baby…and I just don’t understand, Riker…I don’t.” Iris sobbed.

Riker held his wife closer, tighter, tears brimming his eyes that he refused to let fall.

Except unlike his wife…he knew why it had happened.

Iris’ body convulsed with sobs, and Riker held his wife even closer, their hearts beating together, their grief mixing, their pain as one, same as him and Iris were one.

“I don’t understand Riker…I don’t understand…”

“I know, I know,” Riker kissed his wife’s temple, “but we’ll make it…we will…”

“Mama…sad?”

Riker turned, and he knew Iris did the same.

Lily stood in the doorway to their bedroom, her long blonde, wavy hair falling down past her shoulders, her bright blue eyes full of worry, barefoot and in a simple pink dress, her stuffed rabbit clutched in her arms.

Iris shifted out of Riker’s arms. Her arms opened to their youngest child. “Come her, baby duck…come here to Mama…”

Lily ran over and jumped into Iris’ arms, laying her head against her Mama’s chest, and Iris’ arms wrapped around her.

A quiet song made its way out of Iris’ lips…Lily’s favorite hymn to hear at church.

Amazing Grace.

Riker stood on slightly shaking legs. “I-I-I’ll be right back.”

He left the room, unwilling to go to the bathroom attached to his and Iris’ bedroom, knowing Iris and Lily would be able to hear him.

He walked past the living room and down the hall.

Coming out of Eli’s bedroom, Jonathan, Naja, and Eli all stopped in their tracks.

Naja raised a worried frown. “Daddy, are you okay?”

“Yeah…Dad, you good?” Jonathan added, his eyebrows furrowing together.

Eli merely glanced around, unsure of what everyone was saying, and he seemed even more confused than Naja and Jonathan.

Riker nodded. “Yes, I’m fine…Mom is awake if you all want to go see her.”

Jonathan raised an eyebrow. “Uhm, yeah…sure, we’ll go. Come on Naja.” He signed for Eli to follow them, and the three of them left.

Riker walked into the bathroom and quickly locked the door behind him.

They lost the baby.

They lost a precious, innocent baby…even before he was born.

Riker gripped the sides of the bathroom sink, unable to look at himself in the mirror.

His head throbbed.

The sins he’d committed…the people he’d killed…it still didn’t leave.

Riker’s grip on the sink tightened.

He’d killed so many innocent people…so many men…women…children…even… babies. So many innocent people.

Too many innocent people.

He tried to believe that he was forgiven for it.

But it was too hard.

Tears pricked Riker’s dark blue eyes.

He tried to believe that Leon was right…he tried to believe that God had forgiven him fully for what he had done…but he didn’t. He didn’t fully believe it.

And he couldn’t help but feel as if…couldn’t help but think that what they’d recently gone through as a family…was his fault. The punishment for his crimes, for his sin.

What if Iris losing the baby was punishment?

Maybe he’d changed…maybe he was doing a good job, raising his kids, taking care of his wife…teaching his kids about God, but none of it changed-none of it penetrated-the fact that he had killed millions of innocent people.

The loss of the baby…it was punishment for his sins.

He tried to believe in God’s full forgiveness…but he didn’t.

He didn’t believe that God could forgive him for all the things he had done.

Riker let go of the sink and backed away, slowing sinking against the wall, his knees rising to his chest.

The pain…the grief…the loss of their baby…it was all his fault.

It was punishment for his sins…and his whole family had to suffer for it.

Sin had consequences…and his family had to pay the price, even if it was only his sin.

Riker buried his face in his knees.

And he sobbed.

 

(his struggle/character arc still continues…poor baby 😭😭)

@freedomwriter76 He sure does!

Actually, two sisters. You’ve already met Omega as a dragon in the school AU. And of course their brothers are there too.

And he has a bunch of brothers, but he’s closest to his original squad–you’ve also met them all as dragons in the school.

I should just make a board with all the characters and their names….. I have all their pictures.

@freedomwriter76 and ugh, poor Riker. I want to tell him “It’s not your fault!! These things happen, your crimes had nothing to do with this.” if that would help any.
