Love Thy Neighbor, Two Families Become One- pt 1
You honestly don’t really know how you’ve made it this far without meeting Melissa’s side of the family. She’s met your parents, and they absolutely adore her. You remember how that meeting went- Melissa was an absolute nervous wreck, and Ellie couldn’t understand why for the life of her.
“Mel,” your little girl had rolled her eyes playfully at the redhead as she twirled around in her dress. “You’re bein’ silly. It’s just Grandma and Grandpa.”
“Just nervous,” Melissa told your daughter. “I want them to like me.”
“They will,” Ellie promised your girlfriend. “Because Momma loves you, and I love you, and that’s all that care about.”
The redhead looked at your daughter with soft warm eyes. “Thanks, El. But I still have to do my best to impress.”
The three of you made your way across town to your parents house, and as you climbed out of the car, Ellie attached herself to Melissa.
“Up, please,” the little girl asked quietly as she raises her arms up.
Of course, the second grade teacher immediately obliged your daughter’s request before taking a deep breath and walking up with you to the front door.
“It’s okay,” Ellie squeezed Melissa just the slightest bit tighter and pressed a kiss to her cheek in hopes of calming the woman’s nerves.
The redhead just gave a tight, nervous smile before turning her attention to the door that had just whipped open to reveal both of your parents.
Your parents engulfed you in hugs, acting as if they hadn’t seen you in forever when it had really only been a few weeks.
“And this must be Melissa,” your father looked your girlfriend up and down with a stone face.
“I am,” the redhead smiled nervously. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Your dad stuck out his hand and shakes your girlfriend’s sternly.
“Pop, stop trying to scare Mel!” Ellie giggled. She whispered in Melissa’s ear conspiratorially, “Pop is like a teddy bear, he’s tryin’ really hard to be scary.”
That got your father to break out into a grin as he reached for your little girl’s belly to tickle. “Ellie! You can’t give me up that easily! The name’s Frank, and the ol’ lady next to me is-”
“Frank!” your mother batted at your father playfully before smiling to your girlfriend. “Rita,” your mother introduced herself. “Don’t listen to a word that man says. Ellie is right, he’s just a big teddy bear.”
“Play nice, Dad,” you rolled your eyes as you stepped into the house that you had grown up in. “Is dinner ready? I’m starving.”
“Some things never change with you, kid,” you father chuckled. “It’s on the table and ready.
Dinner with your family was pleasant. Ellie made sure to highlight just about every wonderful thing there was to say about Melissa and state just how much she adored your girlfriend.
“Pop! Did you know that Mel teaches with Momma? Did you know that Mel pushes me on the swings and takes videos of me when I go down the slide?! She’s just the best,” Ellie gushed.
And by the end of the night, Melissa had gotten the stamp of approval from both of your parents.
“See?” Ellie exasperates as Melissa buckles her into the carseat to head back to your apartment complex. “I told you there wasn’t anything to worry about.”
“I think you were a big help,” your girlfriend chuckled. “Thank you, little girl.”
“Gram and Pop would be…” she lowers her voice. “Stupid… if they didn’t like you.”
“Elizabeth,” you raise a brow as you turn in your seat to look at her.
Your daughter just shrugs. “I’m just bein’ honest, Momma.”
You chuckle. “Okay, little girl.”
But now that you were going to meet Melissa’s family, take those nerves that Melissa had felt previously, and multiply it by ten.
You’re in the middle of putting your face on in the bathroom when Melissa comes in.
“My love,” she sighs as she wraps her arms around your waist and kisses your cheek. “You don’t need to wear makeup.”
“I know, I know,” you mumble. “But I don’t want to show up looking like a slob.”
The redhead rolls her green eyes. “Babe, you’re beautiful no matter what, and my mom and Nonna are going to love you.”
“And what if they don’t?” you ask as you continue to apply your eyeshadow.
Melissa looks at you like you just asked her the dumbest question on the planet. “There’s not a chance in hell they aren’t going to love you, and Nonna is going to absolutely adore El.”
“What about me?!” Ellie pops her head into the room. She then sees that you have your makeup out. “Ooh! Sparkles!”
“El, tell your momma she doesn’t need makeup to look beautiful.”
“Mom is right, Momma,” your daughter tells you seriously as she perches herself on the sink. “Why are you putting makeups on anyway? You only wear makeups when it’s a special occasion.”
“It is a special occasion,” you say softly. “We’re meeting Mel’s mom and grandma, and I want to make a good impression.”
Ellie’s lips into a little ‘O’. “Can I wear makeups to make a good impression too?”
That makes you pause, and you chuckle softly. “Pick one eyeshadow, and I’ll put it on for you.”
She squeals with delight as she looks at your palette. She ends up deciding on a very neutral but sparkly shade, and you gently put it on her eyelids. As soon as it’s on, your little girl is leaning in to look at herself in the mirror and giggling.
“Do I look good, Mom?”
“You look beautiful as always,” Melissa leans over and kisses Ellie’s cheek. She then pecks yours. “Just like you do.”
“What time do we have to be there?”
“We have to leave in thirty minutes,” your girlfriend tells you. “And I’ll make sure we have Ellie’s stuff in the car for her so you don’t have one more thing to worry about.”
“Thank you,” you sigh softly. “I should be ready within the next twenty minutes.”
“C’mon, El,” Melissa smiles down at the little girl. “Let’s let your Momma get ready while we get your stuff ready for the car.”
You manage to get yourself together before the promised twenty minutes, and you enter the living room the to sight of your girlfriend and your daughter lounging on the couch together.
“Hey,” you get their attention, and Melissa’s jaw drops just slightly. “What?”
Her eyes sparkle with love for you. “You look… stunning.”
“You’re ridiculous,” you laugh softly as you run a hand through your loosely curled hair. “I look like I do everyday we go to school.”
“And?” your girlfriend asks as she stands from her place on the couch. “You look gorgeous there too, and you should know it- I only tell you everyday.”
“You look really pretty, Momma,” Ellie smiles at you as she hands you your purse.
You look down at your little girl as you ruffle her hair. “How much did Mom pay you to say that?”
“Nothin’!” your little girl gives you a cheeky smile.
“Are you ready?” the redhead asks you softly.
You take a deep breath. “As ready as I’m ever going to be,” you tell her.
The entire drive over to the Schemmenti household, Melissa’s hand rests gently on your thigh to provide warmth and comfort. She’s pulling in far too soon.
“We’re here,” she tells you gently. “But we’ll go in when you’re ready.”
You nod. “I’m ready.”
Melissa holds Ellie’s hand as the three of you make your way up to the front door, and you’re greeting with a woman that can only be Nonna.
“Nonna!” your girlfriend confirms as she embraces the shorter woman.
“There’s my Melissa Ann,” Nonna smiles. “Looking beautiful as ever.”
The redhead is nearly a spitting image of the woman in front of you, and when her mother comes to the door, it’s like there’s three generations of your girlfriend.
“Nonna, Mom,” Melissa smiles brightly. “This is my girlfriend, Y/N and her daughter, Ellie.”
You smile shyly and give a wave before tucking a hair behind your ear. “It’s a pleasure.”
“Hi!” your little girl squeaks with a smile. “I’m Ellie, and I’m seven.”
“Oh, aren’t you a cute little thing,” Melissa’s grandmother coos as she pinches your daughter’s cheek gently. “It’s nice to meet you, Ellie. You can call me Nonna.” She stands up straight to look at you. “The pleasure is all mine… Our Lissa has talked a lot about you- can’t believe it’s taken you this long to make it over for dinner!”
“We’re glad to be here,” you smile as you stick out a hand for her to shake. Then you face her mother. “Thank you for inviting us over.”
“We’ve been telling Lissa to bring you over for months now,” her mother chuckles. “Annette.”
“It’s very nice to meet you Annette,” you smile as you shake her hand too.
“Well, come in, come in,” both women say at once.
“Dinner is almost ready, but there are some snacks out in the meantime, and can I get any of you anything to drink?” Annette asks.
“Wine for me and Y/N,” Melissa answers as she makes her way into the kitchen. “And El, what do you want?”
Your little girl looks up at your girlfriend and shrugs.
“We made sure we were stocked up for you,” Nonna chuckles. “Lemonade, apple juice, grape juice, orange juice, water… you name it, kiddo.”
“Can I have lemonade, Mom?” Ellie asks quietly. “Please?”
At the term your little girl uses, you stay quiet.
“Sure thing, El,” Melissa smiles softly as she lifts Ellie to sit on the counter.
Nonna and Annette both raise eyebrows in shock, and it mirrors the same face that your girlfriend makes when she’s surprised.
“Mom?” Nonna asks gently. “Lissa, is there something you aren’t telling us?”
The redhead rolls her eyes playfully. “She started calling me Mom, and if she’s comfortable with it, I’m more than happy to be Mom.”
Ellie grins and leans over to kiss Melissa’s cheek while Annette pours a lemonade and Nonna pours the wine.
“Can I help with anything?” you offer.
“Oh, aren’t you sweet?” Annette smiles as she hands you your wine. “No, Nonna has it handled.”
“Can I help?” Ellie chirps from her place on the counter. “Mom and Momma let me help with dinner all the time, and I love it!”
Nonna grins. “Oh, I could definitely use the help from you, little one. The rest of you, out of my kitchen!”
Melissa chuckles as she presses a kiss to your daughter’s head and pulls you to the living room couch. “I knew her and Nonna would get along like two peas in a pod.”
“Yeah?” you ask softly.
“Nonna loves the little ones, and Ellie is the best little girl out there,” Melissa shrugs as she kisses your temple.
“So…” Annette looks at the two of you.
You and your girlfriend spend the time that dinner is being prepared chatting with Melissa’s mother about everything under the sun. Occasionally, you hear Ellie squeal with joy. It brings a happiness to your heart- knowing that your daughter is making a connection with one of your girlfriend’s favorite people.
“Momma! Mom!” Ellie comes bouncing in with the biggest smile on her face. “Dinner’s ready!”
You, Melissa, and her mother all stand from your place on the couch and head for the dining room. There’s a beautiful display on the table.
“Nonna teached me how to set a table properly!” your little girl absolutely beams.
Nonna smiles a smile that matches Ellie’s energy.
Dinner is wonderful, and you absolutely insist on helping clean up and help to set out dessert with Melissa and Ellie while Annette and Nonna sit back and sip their wine.
“So, what do you think?” Nonna asks.
Annette smiles. “Lissa did good with this one. She’s better than Joe.”
“Her little girl is the cutest little thing,” Nonna notes softly. “If her manners and sweetness are anything to go by, Lissa may have found her person.”
“So?” Melissa asks you quietly.
“Your mom is so sweet,” you tell her genuinely.
Ellie grins. “Nonna is my most favorite person! She teached me to fold the napkins, and that the sharp side of the knife should always face the plate when you set the table.”
The smile that washes over your girlfriend’s face is gorgeous. You peck her lips gently as you finish washing the last of the dishes.
After dessert, you find yourself with another glass of wine while you lounge on the couch and chat with your girlfriend’s family. Ellie curls up in Melissa’s lap, happy to drink her lemonade and cuddle. You can tell though as the night goes on that your daughter is getting sleepy, and it’s clear that Melissa can too.
“Is Ellie girl gettin’ tired?” the redhead asks as she kisses Ellie’s head and takes the cup out of her hand.
Your little girl nods against Melissa’s chest as she rubs at her eyes. The two of you glance at the clock- it is getting to be the time where Ellie starts to wind down for the night.
“I guess we should probably start heading out for the night,” your girlfriend tells her family. “But we’ll have to get together again soon… maybe you can come over to our apartment for dinner one night.”
“That would be lovely,” Nonna smiles. “I’d love to get to see Ellie again- you know, she reminds me of you a little.”
“Really?”
“Full of life, eager to help,” the eldest woman smiles. “She’s a little honorary Schemmenti.”
Ellie gives a sleepy smile that quickly turns into a yawn as she plays with the chains around Melissa’s neck. “Ellie Schemmenti,” she mumbles against your girlfriend’s chest.
If the kiss that’s pressed to Ellie’s temple is anything to go by, you would say that Melissa is quite happy with that little statement.
“Alright, Ma,” your girlfriend stands with Ellie in her arms. “Nonna. It’s time we head out and get the little one to bed, but thank you for having us.”
“Seriously,” you chime in softly. “Thank you so much. Dinner was wonderful.”
“Anytime, sweetheart,” Nonna and Annette tell you at the same time.
As you hug Melissa’s grandmother, she whispers in your ear, “Seriously, anytime. You’re family now.”
Nonna was never the best whisperer though, so Melissa hears the sweet words that are said. Her smile doesn’t leave her face the entire walk out to the car.
Once you get on the road, Melissa takes your hand in her own and brings it up to her lips. “I told you, there wasn’t anything to worry about. They’re both a lot like me… tough on the outside, softies on the inside.”
“I guess you were right this time,” you chuckle softly.
“When are you going to realize I’m always right?” your girlfriend teases you. “What did you think though, for real?”
“I see where you get a lot of your personality,” you tell her. “And I love you, so I love your family.”
“And my Nonna’s comment about Ellie being an honorary Schemmenti?” the redhead presses just slightly.
“The cutest thing in the world,” you sigh in content.
When Melissa pulls into the driveway, she expertly lifts Ellie out of her carseat and into her arms without waking her before taking her into the house. The two of you tuck her in together, and she only wakes up slightly when you press kisses to her face.
“Goodnight, Momma. Goodnight Mom. I love you,” Ellie mumbles out, still half asleep.
“We love you too, love bug,” you whisper as you brush away a few of the stray hairs. Melissa repeats the sentiment before you head off to prepare for bed yourself.
She’s in bed before you are, and when you slide in, she seems to be deep in thought. You curl into her arms.
“Penny for your thoughts?”
“Just thinking about how lucky I am to have you,” she whispers as she kisses the nape of you neck.
“I think I’m the lucky one,” you sigh out softly, a bit breathily.
Your girlfriend shakes her head. “That would be me,” she tells you as she nips at you. “I don’t know how I managed to land a gorgeous and kind woman like you- the most amazing person I’ve ever met.”
You push away from her slightly. “I am loving these compliments, but honey, I’m too tired to have sex tonight.”
“That’s fine,” she tells you as she pulls you back into her arms and lets you lay your head on her chest. “Get some good sleep, hun.”
You fall asleep rather quickly, exhausted from the events of today, but Melissa lays awake as she replays her Nonna’s words in her head- that Ellie was an honorary Schemmenti, that you were part of the family now. And that gets her thinking… Should she forego the ‘honorary’ portion of your titles and officially make you Schemmentis? She falls asleep thinking about this.
Part 1. Part 2. Part 3. Part 4. Part 5. Part 6. Part 7. Part 8. Part 9.
Summary: With your ex-husband in town, this is sure to be interesting.
WC: ~2.4k
I’m in Philly this weekend. We should talk.
The good mood that you were in from waking up in your girlfriend’s arms sours at that text, and she notices.
“Hey,” she whispers as she kisses your temple, also rolling out of bed. “You’re upset.”
“I’m not,” you shrug. “I’m fine. Just… thinking.”
“About?”
“It doesn’t matter,” you sigh. “I should probably go check on El. You comin’?”
The redhead nods and follows you into Ellie’s room, where she’s playing on the floor with a few of her dolls.
“Momma! Mel!” she grins up at the two of you. Immediately, she’s launching herself at you, and if either her or Melissa notice the way that you cling to your daughter only a bit desperately they don’t say anything. You lift your little girl onto your hip and hold her close, smoothing down her wild locks and kissing her temple. Melissa follows suit, and she grins when Ellie kisses her cheek back.
“Breakfast?” your daughter looks to your girlfriend with those sweet eyes of hers.
“Obviously,” Melissa chuckles. “And what does the princess want?”
“Chocolate chip pancakes!” Ellie cheers. When you give her a look, she quickly adds on a, “Pretty please!”
The three of you head for the kitchen, and while your daughter and your girlfriend mix the batter together and start heating up the griddle, you stare at your phone contemplating what you should do.
“Penny for your thoughts, hun?” Melissa breaks your trance as she sets a plate full of the breakfast food in front of you. Ellie comes bouncing over with the butter and syrup a few short moments later.
“We can talk later,” you tell her softly. “When we take El to the park.”
Once you finally get Ellie ready for the park and get yourself ready, you head out. Melissa drives the two of you there, and as soon as she can, Ellie is running for the swings. You and your girlfriend walk hand in hand to find a park bench to sit on and keep an eye on your little girl.
“So, what has my girl down?” the redhead asks you once she’s sure your daughter can’t hear her.
“Jared texted me. Said he’s in Philly, and we should talk.”
Her face flickers through a few different emotions before settling on a neutral face. “And how do you feel about that?”
“Honestly? Like I never want to see him again, but I also have El to think about. He is still her father.”
“And he gave up his parental rights,” she reminds you. “Willingly, and without hesitation.”
“I know, I know,” you sigh as you set your head on her shoulder. “But if he wants to reach out in order to stay in Ellie’s life, I cannot deprive my child of her father.”
“You can,” she tells you.
“But it wouldn’t be right… especially because El… she loved her Daddy before everything got messy.”
“It’s up to you, hun,” your girlfriend says. “But I would be cautious.”
“I know, I know,” you mutter.
Ellie has a blast at the park like she always does, but after about an hour she’s running back to you with rosy cheeks and telling you she’s sleepy. Melissa carries her back to the car, and in the short ten minute drive back to the apartment complex, she falls asleep in her carseat clutching one of the stuffed animals Melissa keeps in her car now. You lift her out of her carseat and hold her tightly as you make your way up to your apartment. You settle on the couch with her, still in your arms while your girlfriend heads for the kitchen.
“Are you good if I make eggplant parm?” she calls softly.
“That sounds great,” you sigh out.
As she cooks dinner, humming quietly to herself, you continue to torture yourself with the pros and cons of texting Jared back. Ultimately, you tell him that if he’s serious, you can meet him for coffee tomorrow- preferably around the time when Melissa will be going to mass.
His response is almost an immediate one. So the two of you set a time and a place, and you know that come tomorrow morning, you’re going to have to make an excuse to your girlfriend as to why you can’t join her for the church service tomorrow.
Ellie stays asleep up until Melissa calls in that dinner is ready. She clings to the redhead through dinner, claiming that she’s warmer than you are. Despite Melissa trying to get her to stay with you (she knows you need Ellie to keep you grounded right now), your daughter insists on staying in her lap.
Your routine through the end of the night goes on as usual, and when you and Melissa finally lay down for bed, you have an awful pit in your stomach as you prepare to lie to her.
“I don’t know what’s happening,” you mumble with your head on her chest. “But I’m not feeling too great right now.”
“Oh?” Melissa looks at you. “What’s goin’ on?”
“Just… cramps. Probably PMS.”
She’s immediately out of bed and grabbing some ibuprofen and the heating pad, and you feel even more guilty at your lie. Melissa is so willing to take care of you and love you through everything.
You’re lulled to sleep with the extra warmth provided by the heat on your abdomen as well as your girlfriend gently combing her fingers through your hair and her soft humming.
The next morning, you wake up and you wish that you were lying to Melissa when you said that your cramps were awful- they really are. But you also know that this is going to be the perfect way to get out of going to the long church service with her, and you know she’ll take Ellie with her to let you ‘rest’.
She does, and you stay in bed until they both head out. And then you run around like a maniac trying to make yourself look presentable to meet your ex-husband.
You arrive at the coffee shop you agreed to meet at, and he’s already sitting with two cups in front of him. You drop into the seat across from his, and he pushes one of the cups in your direction.
“Hey!” he smiles at you, and it’s that damned charming smile that made you fall for him in the first place.
You stare at him for a few minutes in a steely silence. Why did you come here? “What do you want?” is all you ask him as you take a sip of the coffee in hopes of it soothing your nerves. You cradle your abdomen in hopes that your cramps begin to subside soon.
“Damn,” he chuckles. “I come all the way out here to meet you, and that’s the greeting I get?”
“I didn’t ask you to. What do you want?” you ask him again.
He looks a bit stunned that this is the approach you’ve decided to take with him. He’s so used to you being meek and mild, warm and gentle. “I just wanted to catch up.”
“I’m doing just fine out here, with my daughter,” you say shortly.
His eyes go soft. “How is Ellie?”
“She’s fine.”
“C’mon, Y/N,” your ex sighs. “Listen, I’m sorry about everything that happened.”
“You should be,” you laugh bitterly. “You broke apart our family, and for what? To go fuck someone newer and younger? Tighter?” you quote back one of his texts to Jen that you saw after you caught him in bed with her.
“Y/N, I was an idiot,” he tells you. You nod with a smirk. “I came out here to tell you that I want us to get back together.”
“Not a chance in hell,” you snort.
“Then at least let me see Ellie,” he tries. “C’mon. You owe me that.”
“I don’t owe you shit,” you tell him. “You cheated on me, and then signed away your parental rights without hesitation. And I’m still waiting for all of your child support money. So, I see it that if I don’t have the money in my hand by the end of this meeting-”
“Where is Ellie?” he asks quietly. “I was hoping she would be with you.”
“With our neighbor,” you say. “Not that it’s any of your business.”
“You left her with your neighbor?” he asks you incredulously.
You nod. “I did. I trust Melissa- my girlfriend.”
He raises both of his eyebrows at that reveal. “Moved on so quick?”
“You moved on before you even took your ring off, so don’t give me any fucking shit, Jared,” you hiss out. “Babysitter fucker.”
“I didn’t realize you still swung that way. I thought I fucked the gay out of you,” he smirks.
“Oh, eat shit,” you stand from your place and throw your hot coffee in his face. “Don’t bother getting in touch unless it’s to fork over the child support. If I don’t have it by the end of the month, I will be getting a lawyer.”
You head out to leave the shop, and who do you run into on your way out the door but Melissa and Ellie. Your girlfriend gives you quite the questioning look, considering you were sick in bed an hour ago.
“Momma!” your little girl shouts as she slams into your body to hug you.
You groan softly at the contact, but lift her into your arms and hold her tightly, praying she doesn’t see her father. Melissa kisses you at the same time that Ellie gasps, points, and shouts, “Daddy!”
You close your eyes and give a face of pure defeat. You were just caught.
“Ellie girl!” your ex-husband replies with the same amount of enthusiasm, and your daughter is wiggling her way out of your arms to run over to her father. He scoops her up into the biggest hug, despite the fact that he’s still covered in your beverage.
“You came here to meet Jared?” Melissa whispers as she eyes the man.
You nod sheepishly before attempting to make your way over to the two of them. You have to stop about halfway there, gasping in pain as your stomach twists in knots. Your girlfriend follows, an arm wrapped around you protectively.
“Daddy, you’re all wet!” Ellie giggles.
“You know Daddy,” he chuckles in the easy way that he used to with her. “Clumsy, clumsy.”
“Silly Daddy,” your little girl playfully rolls her eyes and sighs dramatically.
“How are you, little girl?”
Your daughter grins as she launches into her stories. “I love it here! I love school, and Momma and I go to the park all the time with Miss Mel like we are today!” she points to Melissa. “That’s Miss Mel, and I love her. She’s my favoritest person in the whole wide world!”
You have to bite back a snort when you see the hurt expression on his face, and you beam when you see your girlfriend’s proud look. You don’t even care that you aren’t your daughter’s favorite person right now because at least it isn’t him.
“And Miss Ellie’s favorite person in the world brought her down here to pick up some coffee and doughnuts for being such a good little girl at church today,” Melissa cuts in. “Which I think we should do, what do you think El?”
The little girl absolutely beams as she remembers why they’re here, and she runs for the redhead.
They head off towards the counter, and your eyes turn to stone again as you face your ex-husband.
“I don’t know what kind of game you’re trying to play here, but quit it. You’re not getting her back,” you hiss. You turn on your heel and make your way up to where your girlfriend and daughter are ordering.
“I already ordered your coffee,” Melissa tells you with a kiss to the temple. She readjusts Ellie so she can grab her wallet from her pocket, but before she can insert the card, Jared is there handing over some money.
“I got this one,” he says cooly. “For my little girl, and my wife.”
There’s a fire in Melissa’s eyes, and before she can get anything out, Ellie pipes up. “You and Momma aren’t married anymore!”
Your mouth, along with Melissa’s and Jared’s, form into shocked faces. Your little girl is right.
“But thanks for breakfast anyway,” you laugh in his face. “Bye.”
You hope that he’ll just leave in anger, but he doesn’t. Instead, he turns his eyes even softer and his voice even smoother. “Well, I was hoping that I could maybe tag along to the park to spend some time with my little girl who I’ve missed so much.”
Fuck. Now he’s using Ellie against you, and you know your daughter will beg you to let him come.
“I missed you too, Daddy,” your daughter whispers softly, but she keeps her hold on Melissa.
“Not today, sweetheart,” the redhead says quietly as she runs a hand through your daughter’s hair. “Your momma isn’t feeling super well, so today is going to be an easy day.”
You nod along.
“Maybe another day this week then,” he shrugs. He isn’t giving up. “I’m here all week for a work conference.” With that, he kisses Ellie’s head, kisses your own, and then heads out.
A tense silence washes over Melissa and you as you wait for your coffees to finish being prepared. Ellie just hums to herself softly as she lays her head down on the redhead’s shoulder and fiddles with the ends of your girlfriend’s hair.
Your names are called, you grab the coffees, and make your way out to her car- you silently thank God that you won’t have to take the Septa now.
No words are spoken between you and your girlfriend for the entirety of the drive home, and when you make your way to your apartment, she turns for her own door.
“You aren’t coming in?” you ask quietly, and you hate the way that your voice breaks.
“I need ten minutes,” she says scarily calmly. “To change and collect myself.”
Fuck. She’s mad. Deciding that it’s best to give her the ten minutes she’s requested, you unlock your own front door and take Ellie to the kitchen table to enjoy her breakfast.

“Hasn’t been to active today” I smile and knit my fingers through her hair
After some time I really had to get my work done, so I go and sit in the corner of her office, I don’t really have a desk I mean I do but I prefer to be near Olivia and Olivia prefers me to be close to her in case something happens anyways, since I’ve been going through a lot of pain and throwing up lately liv wants to be able to keep an eye on me just to make sure I’m okay.
Half way through i need a break so i grab my water bottle and drink it and close my eyes, my back is killing me, my child will be the death of me, I’ve had the most worst pains like my back, my breast and my feet, I’ve been making sure to get enough rest and drink as much water as I can. Olivia is on the phone talking to someone, I’m not sure who but I slowly stand up and hold my stomach as put my hand on the couch to steady myself.
“Oh fuck” I say as my daughter just kicked the side of me with such force
Olivia looks at me and tells the person that she will call them back and rushes to her face and comes to me
“are you okay honey” she says as she makes her way to me and grabs my waist
“She just kicked me so hard liv, and my back hurts so bad”I look at her getting emotional and tears fall
“Hey baby, it’s okay” she grabs my face with her hands and makes me look at her “just breathe princess it’s okay” she wipes my tears and kisses my forehead as I take some deep breaths
Olivia turns me around and goes behind me and from behind she rubs my belly with her hands and kisses my cheek loving before she lightly lifts my belly so I can breathe for a moment without the pressure of my baby
“Better angel” she kisses my temple
“Yes, I’m not carrying anymore kids” she laughs as I say that “seriously Livy” I tell her
“I know baby but you are so funny” she keeps kissing my temple
Olivia just cradles my baby bump with care, kissing at my temple and whispering loving words into my ears, after some time she lightly lowers it I definitely feel much better that I got a little break of having to carry my heavy daughter only 4 more months til I don’t have to carry a human being in my body
“Thank you Livy” I smile at her
“Anything for you angel” she grabs my face and gives me a loving and gentle kiss, I smile into it
“I love you”I tell her as we break our kiss
“I love you more sweets”she says before she gives me another deep and gentle kiss
For the rest of the day I did my paperwork and hung out with Olivia whilst she did captain duty’s and then we went home so I can relax and sleep off the painful and how pregnancy pains.
Summary: when someone disrespects you and Olivia(your wife) needs to remind them who’s wife they just go fucked with.
Genre: cute
Warnings: light teasing
This morning I woke up in pain as I am 5 months Pregnant, the bed is empty as Olivia had already went to work, I slowly get up and go Noah's room and walk in and see him sleeping, I smile to myself and walk next to his bed and lightly shake him.
"honey its time to get up" I say as I gently rub his back and he is slowly waking up
"mommy" he says sleepily and slowly opens his eyes
"hi baby, time to get up and get ready for school" I walk to his closet "how about you wear the new shirt mama got for you angel" I grab it and go to his drawer and grabs pants as he slowly sits up in his bed
"I wanna see mama mommy" he says as he gets up and raps his little arms around me
"I know honey, shes at work but if you get dressed we can face-time her before I take you to school" I say and he gets happy and quickly gets dressed for school and I grab my phone and video calls Olivia
"hello princess" she says as she answers wearing her glasses in her office "what do I own the pleasure to see your beautiful face this morning"
"hi liv" I laugh as Noah sits next to me "Noah wanted to talk to you before I drove him to school"
"HI mama" he says waving
"hi my love, I see your in your new shirt, are you ready for school" she says
"yes mama" he nods and smiles
"did you brush your teeth" she tells him
"no mama" saying it truthfully and smiling
"go brush your teeth" she says in a sweet but motherly tone and he goes to the bathroom "how are you feeling babygirl" she asks me
"good just my lower back hurts so much" I tell her ad I get up to get Noah's lunchbox from the fridge and put it in his bag
"come visit my later" she says making that teasing and loving face I love and I giggle
"okay baby, I will come see you later, maybe you can see something later" I say smiling brightly
"mhm is that so?" she says In the dominant and seductive tone
"yes" I smile and we talk for a little longer and I hang up so i can get Noah to school, drive him to school and go home and take a shower, picking out an outfit I pick leggings and sweatshirt and vans, and I do a little makeup and do my hair in a half up half down hairstyle with a cute black bow, I go to my car and drive to the station I walk in and see Amanda and Eliot
"hey there beautiful" Amanda comes over and hugs me "you are glowing today how is the baby" she asks and rubs my belly
"active" I say and smile as Eliot comes over and hugs me too
"you do look amazing Y/n, the baby is making you look like a million bucks" he laughs
"wish I felt like a million bucks, but thank you guys, the baby is so active lately mostly when Noah or Liv talks to my belly" I say as I feel the baby moving a lot "is the lieutenant busy" I say
"I think she has a girl in office but go in girl" Amanda tells me as I walk to her office and knock and hear come in and I walk in and see Olivia with someone but I'm not sure who it is
"well hello, this is a new hire, Jane, and Jane this is Y/n my-" she gets interrupted
"friend?, wow girl, you should lose a little weight not gonna lie no man will want that sorry" she says I look at her and then at Olivia, I can tell her blood is boiling right now "I mean you are pretty but you are fat"
"excuse me, what did you just say to my wife" Olivia says and gets up with her hands on the desk
"your, wife?' she says not fully believing it
"yes my wife, detective, not that it would matter she isn't fat, she is 5 months pregnant with my baby, so watch what you say" she is so pissed right now
"you guys are married, lieutenant she is like 20" she says looking at me
"actually Jane, I'm not 20 I'm 29 thank you very much not that it is any of your business" I tell her
"lieutenant you are a beautiful woman and you're dating a child carrying a child"
"I'm not dating a child I'm married to my wife who I love very much and we have an age gap so what, we love each other, we've been married for 4 years and please get out of my site you're fired" she says pissed
Jane leaves and I look at Olivia "woah baby that was hot" I say causing her to raise her eyebrow and smirk
"oh yeah? I'm sure it was come here" she says and I go over and she grabs my waist causing me gasp and smile and lean up to kiss her as she lightly makes my back lean on her desk
"you are such a beautiful girl" she says and kisses me again "my girl" she says and smiles leaning to kiss my forehead.
Prompt: you are the Apple of Polly’s eye, besides her family and the business you are absolutely everything to her. Being the youngest peaky blinder standing at age 23 your the little princess to polly and her family, but know you might have your own princess.
Being apart of the peaky blinders had it ups and downs you always had to worry about people trying to kill you and your family. The only part you love is the women that makes your world turn the none other than Polly Gray, she is the best thing in your life she makes you feel special and spoiled.
Polly would make sure nobody fucked with you even if it was someone in the family, she most certainly doesn’t like Tommy and Arthur bother anymore, they would always make fun of you for being with Polly because she was 42 and you were 22 but you didn’t care you love her and she loves you that’s all that matters, you and polly got Married after dating for 2 years, she asked and obviously you said yes.
The family meetings were the worst because you had to wake up early and be there in time to get all the information about what’s going on, right now your siting next to Ada and polly listing to Thomas going on about something that happened and how they needed to handle it, you felt a hand grabs yours and looked to your left where your wife was sitting handing your hold
“You okay princess, you look lost in thought” she asked
“Yes Pol I’m okay I’m just not feeling good, I feel really nauseous” you told her truthfully
“Do you want to go home I’m sure it’s not more important than your health” she said caressing the side of your face
“Polly I think that it’s you know what” you looked into her eyes
“Isn’t it to early to know, we need to go” she said worried and panicking a bit
“Polly no you stay here this is important”you said kissing her hand that held yours and standing up
“Thomas we need to go” she said to hand pulling me out of the house
“Why didn’t you stay” you said holding her hand as she dragged you to your car
“Because princess this is more important to me” she said as you both got in the car
You wanted to protest but you knew it wasn’t any good as she won’t listen, your wife is the most stubborn person you have ever met in your entire life but you still love her so it didn’t matter. You had made it home and you get out of the car as you follow polly to your door as she opens it, you both get in and take off your shoes and coats and run to the bathroom.
“Alright I’ll be back with the test” she told you as she left the bathroom
You hadn’t told the family that you and polly had been trying for a baby for a reason because you didn’t want them to take you both out of the business until you had the baby if anything you just wanted them to take you out because the family business is important to Polly you didn’t want her to leave for 9 months.
She comes back with the test and hands it to you “here princess take it, do you want me to stay or wait outside?”
“Stay please” you asked her as you pull up your skirt
“Alright princess I’ll be right here” she said as she sat on the tub and waited
After you peed on the stick you waited and bounced your leg up and down nervously, polly grabbed your hand and kissed it and held it to her lap as you both waited.
“Should we look now” you asked polly
“Yes princess, let’s look” she said still holding your hand and pulled you up to the sink counter and took the stick
You wanted to Polly to look because you were to scared that if you weren’t pregnant that polly would be upset because she really wanted an another kid to watch grow as she didn’t for her son and her daughter had passed away, so you knew how important this was to her. She flipped it over, and smiled so much
“YOUR PREGNANT” she yelled happily grabbing you to pick you up as you wrap your legs to her waist, and she kissed you with so much love and passion
She was kissing you still as she let you down and held you close to her, before she went to her knees and lifted your shirt and kisses your stomach as you giggle.
“Pol that tickles” you say giggle as she leaves little butterfly kisses on your stomach, you pushed your fingers through her hair and looked at you smiling continuing
After awhile she stood up and held your waist as you leaned forward and laid on her chest, she kisses your head and held you tighter.
“Can we go to bed now I’m tired” you say against her chest
“Of course we can princess” she says before kissing your head again before you both walked into your bedroom
You both get changed into your sleepwear and laid down, you laid your head on Polly’s chest as she rubs your back and leaves kisses on your head once in a while
“I hope that if we have a daughter I’m still your princess” you say against her chest
“You will always be my princess because your the Fucking Peaky Blinders princess” she says against your hair
“Good night Pol, I love you so much thank you for wanting a family with me” you say tiredly
“Good night princess, I love you too and thank you for giving me the opportunity to have a family with you” she says to you
And after that you fell asleep to Polly rubbing your back and kissing your head.
