lyss ! –

she watched carefully as the girl simply nodded. couldn’t she give her more than a nod? couldn’t she give her a decent answer? didn’t she deserve a decent answer? alyssa supposed the reason the box was resting on her lap was because tavia couldn’t give her the answers she needed verbally. but what did she think this box was going to do? this wouldn’t fix everything. this wasn’t even close to a band-aid solution. the more photos she scanned her eyes over the more confused she became, and the more heavily her heart weighed down in her chest. 

it seemed to the young girl that every moment that passed by was just another moment of disappointment for the girl at the window. when tavia finally moved from the glass, the look in her eyes made lyss feel an inexplicable sort of guilt. she knew that it was her fault this was all happening. it was her fault that the young woman in front of her was losing someone she had known and loved. it was her fault that she herself was losing someone she couldn’t even remember. 

the devoid tone of the fellow brunnette made lyss wince in pain. ‘i’m trying my best,’ she said, her voice a barely audible whisper. ‘but please...give me some time’. her hazel irises made their way back to the box in her lap, and she grasped the book she’d laid aside gently, flipping open the pages. ‘they’ve told me that physically revisiting moments of my past might help to put the pieces back together.’ she hoped this gave tavia some kind of small faith in the idea that things might get better. and that maybe, just maybe she would be able to recover what had been so devastatingly lost.

a wide smile appeared on tom’s face as he recognized the woman standing in front of him. he couldn’t help but wrap her in a quick half hug. “alyssa loric,” he grinned. “it’s so good to see you again, i’ve actually missed you loads,” he admitted. and although they kept on seeing each other every now and then, tom missed the days when tavia and lyss were just two doors down the hallway away. “now, i saw an instagram post the other day,” he eyed her suspiciously, a smug grin on his lips. “and if the rumours are true, i call dibs on being the godfather, i reckon it’s finally my turn.”

alyssa smiled as she hugged tom back, grateful to have bumped into him on her walk. ‘you wouldn’t believe it, but i’ve missed you too! it’s such an injustice we don’t get to see each other more often - if only we could rewind to the good old days when you were just down the hall, right?’ she said with a soft sigh, and her smile drooped a little as a part of her wished those times hadn’t passed by so quickly. ‘i believe the rumours are true,’ she said with her smile returning, spreading mischievously across her features. ‘oh well i guess - if you insist,’ she joked. ‘but don’t start thinking i’m about to name my child after you, too.’

wtfbridget :

he started making grabby hands at lyss and bridget could’ve laughed at how quickly his little personality changed, shy one minute and desperate for attention the next. “no matter how bad he is, there’s nothing like seeing him white as a sheet and passing out as i give birth. makes it all worth it.” wiggling uncomfortably as a quick surge of heartburn hit her, wincing just a little bit despite being so used to it. “well i at least i’ll be able to find dess, just search for your troublemaker and i’ll find mine. what’s the bet she’s found a poker game for them to join?”

as blaze made grabbing gestures toward lyss she laughed heartily and took his little hands in her bigger ones, making a few silly faces at him before turning her attention back to bridget. ‘does he pass out everytime you give birth? god, would’ve thought he’d be used to it by now!’ she said with a chuckle. she’d have to remember to make fun of ollie about that tid bit of information again sometime soon. ‘oh of course - those two are practically the world’s best partners in crime by now. and no doubt about it - either that or they’re surely scamming someone out of something.’

windscr :

she took a second to rummage through her purse, before fishing out a slightly tattered piece of paper - the printed out scan of her ultrasound. she had carried it around with her ever since she found out, waiting for the perfect opportunity to tell reid, but whenever she thought the moment was right, something always seemed to come up. and the more time passed (it had been weeks) since she found out, the harder it became to actually come clean. “i’ve been meaning to tell you sooner - it’s just, i’m not quite over the … initial shock myself, so to speak.” nora was nothing short of grateful that her best friend seemed to answer her own question, she didn’t think she had it in her to tell lyss that he didn’t actually know about the triplets, let alone the pregnancy. so instead, she offered a slight smile, followed by a chuckle. “ it’s all so new, doesn’t quite feel real yet, you know? but there’s a full seven and a half months until the triplets announce their arrival, so i’m sure they can go without the attention for tonight.tell me, how’s new york? how are the kids?”

alyssa watched on with eager eyes that practically lit up as she saw the ultrasound photo. she clasped her hands together in pure joy - she could imagine how happy her brother would have been when he saw this - and revelled in the happiness that a couple she’d supported for so long were finally going to make her an auntie. ‘i’m just glad i know now. and believe me, i know just how shocking the whole thing can be,’ lyss replied with an understanding nod. ‘you know what would make it feel real though? a baby shower. nothing big of course, since i doubt you really want this being released to the public, but something small and private would be so adorable!’ her brain was practically racing with ideas as the excitement of eleanor’s announcement had her almost jumping around on the spot. ‘new york is new york, i suppose. feels like home now, after all these years. and the kids are good, mischievous as always, but cute as hell. i can only imagine how precocious this one is going to be’, she said gesturing to her swollen stomach, ‘considering the characteristics of the parent’.

octavia wasn’t exactly sure when she lost track of the teenager, but when she’d turned back to speak to him she found he wasn’t there. oh for god’s sake. the concept of adding to their family seemed great in theory - until she realized she could barely keep track of the two children they already had. it made the concept of telling lyss she was also pregnant that much scarier - that much more real. thinking she’d seen the boy leaving the room, she went to trail after him before feeling her wife’s arm hold her back and she laughed nervously. “ yes, while that is true, ” she replied, her hand coming up to the girl’s face and she brushed her thumb against the girl’s cheek. “ we’ve got a teenager on the loose. and if he’s anything like us at that age, well… ” she trailed off, eyes widening before her gaze turned to the toddler in her arms. “ but you won’t be like us, will you? ” she hoped not. he at least would have the welcoming arms of two loving parents to grow up with - something lyss and tavia had both missed out on. “ innocence, love, hold onto it. don’t let go. but really, have you seen the troublemaker? ”

lyss leaned into tavia’s hand, a short, content hum escaping her lips for a moment before she heard about the MIA status of their mischievous young teenager. she sighed and shook her head, but a smile still graced her features. ‘don’t worry too much,’ alyssa reassured and rubbed her wife’s arm in an effort to comfort her. ‘he’ll be around somewhere stirring up trouble.’ her head turned to look at the toddler, her smile widening as she watched tavia talk to little evan, who was clearly pleased to see his other mumma. ‘that’s sweet, honey, but let’s be realistic here. evan’s probably going to be as precocious as the rest of us - it’s like an unspoken family trait…but no i haven’t seen him, do you want me to help you look?’
