I wrote something for Day 9!!! (since I missed it and had a sudden idea š)
This one is CONSIDERABLY shorter than the one for Day 10…but I love it nonetheless
This one’s so sweet, and just…šššš„°šā¤ļø
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 sheād done that morning.
āAdinah, you really should lay down.ā Her sister-in-law chided, clicking her tongue.
āEleanor, I have things to do, donāt I? Besides, Iāmā¦oh,ā she swayed; she felt a little dizzy, āokayā¦maybe I can sit down for a minute.ā
Eleanor nodded and helped guide her to the open chair in the kitchen.
āAt least someone could convince you to sit down.ā
Adinah faced her best friend, Christa Adelmann, and smiled gently. āOh, come off it. At least Iām sitting down.ā
āChrista tried to convince you several times, Adinah, and yet you didnāt listen. I may have to leave soon, but Iāll wait until Johann wakes from his nap,ā Eleanor took the seat beside Adinah at the table, ābut truthfully, dear, are you alright?ā
āI just donāt feel the greatest.ā
Eleanor stood. āCome on, go lay down on the couch in the living room.ā
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 didnāt want to, and slowly closed her eyes.
She didnāt know how long sheād laid down, even slept, but eventually, she heard footsteps and voices, and she slowly awoke.
āAdinah, are you alright? Are you sick?ā
She sat up and looked into her husbandās light blue eyes with their faint hint of green, and she slowly shook her head. āNo darlingā¦Iām not sick. I think itāsā¦something else.ā
Felix raised an eyebrow.
Rushed, small footsteps sounded. āMama!ā
Felix scooped three-year-old Leo into his arms, kissed his forehead, and gently set him down in Adinahās 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.
āAdinahā¦what do you mean itās something else?ā
āIām not sick, Felixā¦Iāve felt this beforeā¦so I know what it is.ā
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. āā¦Iām pregnant.ā
Felixās eyes widened. āAdinah?ā
āWeāre going to have another baby, Felixā¦weāre going to have another baby!ā
So much joyā¦so much joy.
āAdinah, are you serious right now?ā
āYes, darling, yes! I know this feelingā¦weāre going to have another baby!ā
āAnother baby?ā Leo asked, his brown eyes big and wide, holding onto Joshuaās 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. āYes, Leo, yes! Youāre going to be a big brother again, and so will Joshua!ā
Leo giggled and reached down, wrapping his arms around his daddyās 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. āYouāre both going to be big brothers!ā
Adinah couldnāt help but watch and smile.
Father and sonā¦forever intertwined.
@freedomwriter76 awww š
mmmm tw I am NOT gonna get to all of these XD I think Iām just gonna choose my favs and try to do those. Need to devote time to other things (including writing my WIP!)

#IfMarcelDiesIRiot
#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSeb@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!
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

I wrote something for Day 11!!!
This one got me…made me cry and everything šššššš
This one is from my 3rd book in my trilogy with Leon/Riker as the MCs šš
(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. āMorning already?ā
āItās evening, actuallyā¦you took a nap.ā
āOh Riker, I didnāt mean toā¦what about dinner-?ā
āItās alrightā¦I made dinner. Here, I have some for you.ā
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. āā¦Itās delicious.ā
āNot as good as yours, but I did my best.ā
āOh, itās better than mine,ā Iris chewed another bite and swallowed, ābut I should have made dinner.ā
Riker slowly sat down on the bed, gently laying a hand on his wifeās arm. āI already told you that itās fine. You should be restingā¦I think you need it.ā
āIām resting so much, Riker,ā Iris closed her eyes, āand the kids have barely even seen me.ā
āItās-ā
āNo, itās not okayā¦I should be out there but Iām not. I want to beā¦but I alsoā¦donāt. I justā¦itāsā¦itās hardā¦so hardā¦ā
āYou need to restā¦the doctor said that.ā
āI know.ā
Riker raised a small smile. āBesides, the kids understandā¦but everyone at church has been wondering about you.ā
āI havenāt been to church in weeks.ā Iris closed her eyes. āIām justā¦struggling.ā
Riker raised an eyebrow. āWith what, darling?ā
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.
Irisā tears rolled down her cheeks, wetting his pressed white undershirt with tears. āā¦How could God let us lose the baby, Rikerā¦? Heās helped us come to Americaā¦helped us provideā¦helped us raise a familyā¦but then he lets us lose the babyā¦and I just donāt understand, Rikerā¦I donāt.ā Iris sobbed.
Riker held his wife closer, tighter, tears brimming his eyes that he refused to let fall.
Except unlike his wifeā¦he knew why it had happened.
Irisā 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.
āI donāt understand Rikerā¦I donāt understandā¦ā
āI know, I know,ā Riker kissed his wifeās temple, ābut weāll make itā¦we willā¦ā
āMamaā¦sad?ā
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 Rikerās arms. Her arms opened to their youngest child. āCome her, baby duckā¦come here to Mamaā¦ā
Lily ran over and jumped into Irisā arms, laying her head against her Mamaās chest, and Irisā arms wrapped around her.
A quiet song made its way out of Irisā lipsā¦Lilyās favorite hymn to hear at church.
Amazing Grace.
Riker stood on slightly shaking legs. āI-I-Iāll be right back.ā
He left the room, unwilling to go to the bathroom attached to his and Irisā bedroom, knowing Iris and Lily would be able to hear him.
He walked past the living room and down the hall.
Coming out of Eliās bedroom, Jonathan, Naja, and Eli all stopped in their tracks.
Naja raised a worried frown. āDaddy, are you okay?ā
āYeahā¦Dad, you good?ā 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. āYes, Iām fineā¦Mom is awake if you all want to go see her.ā
Jonathan raised an eyebrow. āUhm, yeahā¦sure, weāll go. Come on Naja.ā 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 babyā¦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 heād committedā¦the people heād killedā¦it still didnāt leave.
Rikerās grip on the sink tightened.
Heād killed so many innocent peopleā¦so many menā¦womenā¦childrenā¦evenā¦ 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 Rikerās dark blue eyes.
He tried to believe that Leon was rightā¦he tried to believe that God had forgiven him fully for what he had doneā¦but he didnāt. He didnāt fully believe it.
And he couldnāt help but feel as ifā¦couldnāt help but think that what theyād recently gone through as a familyā¦was his fault. The punishment for his crimes, for his sin.
What if Iris losing the baby was punishment?
Maybe heād changedā¦maybe he was doing a good job, raising his kids, taking care of his wifeā¦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 babyā¦it was punishment for his sins.
He tried to believe in Godās full forgivenessā¦but he didnāt.
He didnāt 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 painā¦the griefā¦the loss of their babyā¦it was all his fault.
It was punishment for his sinsā¦and his whole family had to suffer for it.
Sin had consequencesā¦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 šš)
@freedomwriter76
Awww I love it, poor Riker and Iris
miscarriages are so painful, for the whole family really
Do me a favorā¦. Tell Cress I meant it
-Thorne@freedomwriter76 š OH MY GOSH RIKER!!!
this makes me want Riker to meet older November (daddy November!) while he doesnāt lose a kid, he and Ara struggle immensely to have kids, and when they do all three births have their own complications.

Write what should not be forgotten. ā Isabel Allende
@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.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
@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.
