All her life, Beatrice Howard was told that her father had died before she was born. At the age of ten, a tragedy opens the door to the v« truth and to a new life, full of joy, but with some thorns along the way.
In this modern AU, Beatrice grows up surrounded by the characters we all love. Alongside with them, she will learn that love is a bit more complicated than fairy tales make us believe, but that is true when they say that there is no obstacle that it cannot overcome…The most important lesson, however, is that we cannot run away from our desires…

Ernest immediately walks into the kitchen where the head cook curtsies as she greets him “My lord”
“Hello there have got the tray ready?”
“Yes are you sure you wanna carry it? I mean one of the maids or servants can do it”
Ernest smiles “I’m sure she’ll love it if I surprise her like this” He grins as he carries the tray upstairs and heads to the bedroom and peaks in and still sees his wife Mia sleeping and slowly walks into the room carefully setting the tray on the nightstand
He kisses her softly on the cheek “Good morning my love” Mia stirs but doesn’t wake up he chuckles as he gently shakes her “Mia darling it’s time to wake up”
Mia doesn’t open her eyes but whispers “Ernest it’s too early”
Ernest laughs then smirks “Is it too early for me?”
Mia flutters her eyes open then she smiles “Never good morning”
“I’ve got something for you” He nods to the nightstand
Mia looks and grins “Is this for me?”
“Yes I had this prepared for you”
“Thank you it looks and smells amazing”
“Anything for my wife” He kisses her forehead then places the tray in her lap
Mia digs into the food then turns to Ernest “You want some?”
“Ooh no this is for you”
Mia giggles “Oh come on Ernest” She lifts the fork “Say ah”
Ernest chuckles as he opens his mouth and she feeds him “That is good”
“If I’m eating you must eat as well”
“Of course”
Mia smiles “What’s on the plan for today?”
“Nothing”
“Nothing?”
Ernest wraps an arm around her waist “I cancelled everything for today we really haven’t gotten any alone time”
Mia smiles “Ok what do you have in mind?”
Ernest kisses her hand “You’ll know when you eat your breakfast and get dressed I’ll wait for you downstairs” He hops off the bed and walks towards the door
“Ernest wait! I wanna know what you’re planning”
He smirks “That’s for me to know and for you to find out my love”
Mia giggles as he leaves and eats her breakfast
****
Mia heads down the stairs and sees Ernest he smiles “Beautiful as always”
“Thank you”
Ernest offers his arm “Shall we?”
“Yes we shall”
They walk out the door and into the gardens. Mia excitedly hold’s his arm and they stop when they come to an heart shaped banner of rose
“How did you do this Ernest?”
“I had the staff help me and they did a great job”
“Oh Ernest I love it”
“I’m glad I have one more thing”
Ernest reaches behind a bush and pulls out a painting. Mia’s eyes go wide as she sees the portrait of herself in the garden with Ernest
“This is beautiful”
“I know they did an amazing job” Mia’s eyes shine with tears and Ernest looks at her concern “My love are you ok”
“I’m just happy I have you you’re amazing” She throws her arms around him
Ernest hugs her back “Not as amazing as you I love you Mia”
“I love you too Ernest”
He kisses her deeply as they enjoy this moment together
Alex Spencer: a sweetheart with a slight caffeine addiction
art by the wonderful @dalkkomi
I posted a bunch of entries throughout @choicesmcappreciationweek, but I wanted to group all of Alex's together here.
Fashion || Relationships || Day in the Life || Home Decor || AU
Art featured in collage by: ArtbyAinna (IG), irdeinfierno (IG), and @oh-so-youre-a-nerd, and one edit with Addi I made in Photoshop
Some Asks Answered during the event
Favorite Planet: Alex's favorite planet is absolutely Pluto! Size doesn't matter. Pluto was once a planet, it will always be a planet to her. She refuses to accept any criticism to the contrary. [x]
Tea, coffee, juice, or water?: Alex always has a coffee/espresso drink (typically iced) and sometimes (read always) even has a back up coffee, just in case.[x]
Can she dance? Alex is somewhat classically trained. She took dance classes as a child, but also in collage, and then more training for different roles. Hunt is also an extremely talented dancer so he practices with her and she is definitely capable. Maybe she'd even win Dancing with the Stars. [x]
Feel free to ask me questions about my favorite girl! 💖
Pairing: Bryce Lahela x Olivia Hadley (F!OC)
with Malia (OC), Keiki Lahela, and introducing Makoa
Book: Open Heart
Word Count: ~650 (tiniest angst but mostly all the fluff)
Synopsis: Makoa has made his entrance, now what will Malia think of her new brother?
Her thumb brushed over his tiny hand. His fingers were so impossibly small. It was hard to believe Malia was once this small, too. It didn't seem possible. She'd grown so much. "Do you think Malia will be okay? She really had her hopes up."
Bryce let out a quiet breath, his gaze fixed on the newborn sleeping comfortably in Olivia's arms. "She'll love him. How can she not? He's perfect."
"To us, of course." Olivia's smile never faltered. "To an imaginative toddler who has spent the past several months expecting her baby brother to be Nemo, it might be another story entirely."
Bryce leaned forward, brushing a reassuring kiss on Olivia's forehead. "She'll be okay. She might be a little disappointed, but it'll probably last a minute, three tops. Then she'll fall in love with him, just like we have. She's going to be a great big sister."
"Yeah... you're right," she whispered. Despite her tired eyes, her gaze was bright with adoration as she rocked Makoa gently in her arms. "She's going to love you, isn't she?"
Bryce adjusted his son's hat, tucking it carefully over his tiny ears. "Ready for me to get her?"
Olivia nodded.
****
"An' den Aunt Kiki said we go see the penwins. We go to aquarum tomowwow."
"That sounds like a really fun day you two have planned, but right now, we have someone we want you to meet. He returned to the room a few minutes later with Malia in his arms and his sister following closely behind.
"Fishy?" Her eyes widened with hope.
"We want you to meet your little brother. Can you say hi to Makoa?" He kept her in his arms as he sat in the chair beside the bed so she could get a closer look.
"That's no Fishy. He have no tail!" A puzzled look crossed her face as she shook her head. "Hmm. Funny looking Fishy."
Olivia winced. Bryce was ready to run interference. Keiki was busy on her phone. Makoa stirred softly in Olivia’s arms, completely unaware of it all.
"I like him. He have squishy cheeks!" She pressed her hands to her cheeks, trying to make the same face.
Tears filled Olivia's eyes as she breathed easier, letting go of the pent-up worry she'd been holding on to. She never doubted Malia would come to love her brother, but the uncertainty of how she'd take it had been weighing on her.
Keiki lowered her phone, holding it to her chest. "So, I wasn't sure how this was going to go. Obviously, it's going pretty well, better than expected, but—" She turned her phone screen toward the others, revealing a picture of Malia's room with a new aquarium on her dresser, complete with a little orange clownfish. "Should I tell the pet store we won't be needing this one?"
Bryce shifted closer. "What am I looking at? Is that—"
"I had a contingency plan," Keiki interupted.
"Fishy!" Malia perked up.
"You bought my daughter a backup brother?"
Keiki stifled a laugh, chewing the corner of her lower lip. "When you put it that way, it might seem a bit weird, but think of it more as a backup fish, in case this Fishy was not fishy enough. They're very different things when you think about it."
"We're going to talk about this later." Bryce frowned.
"In my defense, you left me unsupervised in a city with lots of pet stores." Keiki shrugged. "We should probably question why it didn't happen sooner. Could've solved this whole 'fishy' thing a lot earlier. Look at me, solving all kinds of problems. You can thank me any time."
Bryce's gaze narrowed at her. He wanted to protest, but wondered if she had a point about getting a fish earlier.
"Can we keep him?" Malia marveled.
"Sure," Olivia smiled. "What's one more fish?"
"Two fishies!" Malia cheered. "Best day ever!!!!"
Just a silly little, last minute birthday story to welcome Makoa. Forgive any typos or parts where it doesn't make sense. I literally just threw this together so there's not really any editing! 🙈 I just didn't want the day to end without sharing something for Makoa and bringing Malia's fishy story to a close
