“Don’t grab his tail!” Juliet called out in vain. On the upside, she was no longer deathly terrified of Dexter whenever she saw him. Being around Harry had helped her warm up to dogs. “No worries. I missed you, and they needed some Maddie time.” Juliet murmured as she hugged Maddie back. “Hi, love. Sorry I haven’t been able to come over as much.”

Stella eventually crept out, who was slowly getting used to the twins’ presence every so often. It almost seemed like she enjoyed playing with them, knowing her level of intelligence was so much greater. “It’s alright. I’ve been pretty boring..” she chuckled softly. “You’re here now and that’s all that counts. Come in! Don’t mind me, I’m a little slow.”

Juliet sighed in relief when Maddie took Harriet and Charlie from her arms. “You sure you got them?” She frowned as she remembered Maddie’s injury. She didn’t want her best friend to overdo it. “Say Maddie, we’re not beans anymore! We’re crawling and driving Mummy up the wall.” Juliet shook her head, smiling as Charlie grinned at her.

“Of course I got em!” Maddie quickly began kissing all over the babies’ faces, earning heartwarming giggles from them both. “You are so still beans! Just bigger beans.” Carefully, Maddie crouched down to put them on the ground, watching them toddle after Dexter. “I’ve missed you guys so much. Thanks for bringing them,” she smiled, wrapping her arms around Juliet tightly. “I’ve missed you most..”

“Knock, knock!” Juliet called. Both of the babies were hoisted on her hip, already squirming to be let go. She grinned widely when the door opened. “Hi, Auntie Maddie! Surprise!” ( @shutup-reynolds )

Maddie was only two weeks away from getting her cast taken off, then it was a brace until surgery, then the whole process started over again. So for the most part, she spent her days lying around and going through everything Netflix had to offer. With that being said, the knock on the door was very happily invited, especially at the sound of her best friend’s voice. Hoisting herself up, Maddie grabbed one of her crutches and made her way to the door, a wide grin on her face as she opened it. “Oh my gosh it’s my two beans!!” she practically squealed, ditching her crutch to steal them as her balance had become even better since her injury.

When the doctor broke the news to Maddie, Astrid could only feel second hand emotions. What if the doctors told her her hands wouldn’t be able to function properly and she couldn’t play music. It was a horrid thought. A nightmare. Only now it was real for her wife. Sitting there, arm around the dancer, she turned her head to kiss her temple softly. “I’m so sorry baby.” She whispered, wishing she could make it all go away for her love. Hearing the wheel chair, she looked at Maddie. “C’mon. Let’s get you home and get some rest.”

At the sound of the wheelchair being pushed into the room, Maddie wanted to scream that she didn’t want it, that she could leave on her own. But all she did was breathe, clenching her teeth together as she lifted her legs over the side of the bed and got into the chair with the nurse’s help. And when they finally got to the door, she shivered as she shut her eyes tight. All of her belongings were left at school and all she was wearing were tights and her leotard, with just a zip-up sweater over it. But all she did was just reach out and take Astrid’s hand, knowing that was all she truly needed.

I think the most important thing for me is a challenge. I’m not happy, creatively, unless I’m faced with a challenge. So, overcoming those challenges and really discovering characters that aren’t like me helps me grow, as a person and as an artist. I think that’s the main thing. If I read something and go, “Oh, my god, how am I ever going to do this? This scares me,” then I know that I should probably do it.

Reaching into her purse and pulling out a handkerchief, she wiped away the tears that came flooding out of her wife’s blue eyes. She could comfort her all she wanted but there was a harsh truth in all of this. Maddie couldn’t pursue her dreams and passion anymore. “I’m so sorry.” She whispered, carefully sitting on the bed next to her wife and putting her arms around her as best she could without disrupting cords and tubes. Kissing the side of her temple, she could only imagine the heart break.

When Astrid sat on the bed, Maddie exhaustedly leaned against her. It was so late and she was already so tired, and now she was medicated and even more exhausted from the adrenaline. “I just wanna go home,” she whimpered. It was a few more minutes before the doctor returned, giving Maddie instructions she’d already heard before, along with an appointment card for two weeks out. “Can we leave now?” she asked, her eyes struggling to stay open. It was almost 3am and she was fading fast. The doctor nodded, wishing the small blonde good luck before leaving the room. “Yeah, some really fucking great luck I have...”

Hearing Nina’s voice was both reassuring but not at the same time. But hearing that Maddie was at least physically okay was a little better than not knowing. “Where is she?” She asked, managing to calm down a little but it didn’t seem like that much of a difference.

Being told the room number, Astrid had power walked her way to the room, chewing at the inside of her cheek, anxious to see what condition her wife was in. Stepping in the door way, she saw her tiny dancer, with her ankle in a cast. Yet again. “Shit.” She whispered under her breath. “Hey baby.” She gave a small smile, walking around the hospital bed and immediately leaning in to kiss her. “What happened? What’s wrong?” She practically interrogated Maddie, however, reaching up to brush hair behind her ear slowly and gently.

Maddie was anxiously waiting for Astrid, her cheeks raw from salty tears. She couldn’t handle the things the doctors were telling her on her own. She never thought her career could ever come to such a screeching halt. When her wife finally came into the room, the tears started all over again. “Th-they said it didn’t heal right the first time,” she whimpered. “I don’t know what I did. It just happened.” Maddie choked back a sob, biting her lip hard. “I just got back, Astrid. I just got back a-and now it’s all gone..”

It was safe to say that Astrid was exhausted from getting up to early to meet her call time for a photoshoot. So when she was able to get off early, she went straight home and collapsed in a nap, not even bothering to change from her clothes. And she’d slept for a long time until the brutal ringing of her phone startled her awake. “The fuck?” She grumbled, reaching in her purse for her phone and finding shed just missed the call. A voice mail from Maddie.

There was no skipping that voicemail. Sitting up and straightening her back, shed listen to the voice mail, only to find herself up on her feet and grabbing her car keys. She was running on adrenaline now, adapting road rage before finally reaching her destination and storming in like she was the queen. “Maddison St.Claire! Where is she? I’m her wife.” She blurted out, normally not one for wanting to cause a scene but not caring at that point.

Maddie was rushed into emergency for an x-ray before a cast was put on her leg, the medicine they gave her being the only thing keeping her from screaming. Especially when they told her how severe the break was. That was what she needed her wife for the most. All she could do was cry.

When Astrid came barging through the doors, Nina jumped up from her seat. She’d been sent to the waiting room to wait for Astrid. “Hey!” she said, rushing over to the younger blonde and putting a hand on her arm. “She’s alright. I mean, physically she’s alright. Mentally..” Nina sighed. “She’s just resting right now, but she’s waiting for you.”

“Pyat, shest, sem, vosem!!” The instructor shouted sharply for about the two-hundredth time already. And with that, Maddie began. The other dancers were getting just as exhausted as she was, but that was Juilliard. Classes ran late, especially after making up for holiday breaks. She could swear that her legs were going to fall off if they weren’t shown any mercy sometime soon.

“Maddison, shoulders!” she heard from behind her, immediately straightening her posture before continuing. No matter how tired she was, Maddie always worked hard. She’d work until she dropped to get where she wanted to be. Just as the clock read 11pm, she sighed heavily before the group started again, tired and winded, but inspired. 

“We are not done yet, students. Keep that energy up!” Maddie would always get nervous when it came to solos, even if they were small, which this one was. She’d done it a thousand times, and there was always that little pang of her heart before. But this time, it should’ve been a warning. Just as she was about to leap into a grand jeté, a cold shock of a thousand sharp knives shot up her leg before she slammed to the ground, letting out a horrifying scream.

Suddenly, Maddie was having flashbacks of the dorms. The back of her elbows burning against the rough carpet as she looked up at Alisa, watching as the girl snapped her ankle with a simple stomp. It was the same feeling, but this time it was worse. She always heard that rebreaking a bone was excruciating, but she never thought it would be like this. Maddie’s instructor rushed over to her, exclaiming in Russian as one of the other students ran to her phone to call an ambulance. 

In a bit of shock, Maddie laid in the ambulance, tears streaming down her pale cheeks as she lifted her phone to her ear, listening to it ring before hearing Astrid’s voicemail greeting, causing her to choke on a sob. “Astrid,” she whimpered after the beep. “I’m on my way to New York Presbyterian. M-my ankle broke again. Please call me. I love you..”

Léa: Take the compliment.

Léa: There weren't all that many options considering my standards but you know, if you're gonna do it this way be practical about it.

Léa: We narrowed it down to the educated and those in excellent health and get this there was this Russian dude.

Léa: Masters in both science and arts, PhD in economics so really just a giant geek, average height, fit, brown hair and brown eyes. Pretty cute in childhood photos, it was an obvious choice.

Léa: It's still mildly entertaining to me how all these years I took dickmilk for granted and here I am, having spent MONEY on it. Reminds me of those e-cards that read something along the lines "And to think I almost swallowed you"

Léa: But I digress, I'm lucky that it worked. I honestly didn't think it would. I mean, I was hoping but I didn't really believe in it.

Maddie: I can't imagine finding a guy who looks like Nat being anything but awkward. But he sounds like a smartypants AND a hottie so it's a win/win.

Maddie: Also if you could never use the phrase 'dickmilk' as long as I'm still living and breathing that would be grrreat.

Maddie: I know you were scared, and I'm so proud of you, and I'm still proud of you. I'm never NOT gonna be proud of you.

Léa: You did a marvelous job, nugget. Employees come and go but you know you're a lot more than that.

Léa: Obviously, she has half my genes so she's gonna be precious and smart and classy and very good at everything she does. And if she isn't, well then I'm gonna love her all the same. It's a win-win situation.

Léa: I just kinda wanna skip to taking her home. This isn't the fun part anymore, I feel like a giant ball of fat.

Maddie: Of course--an employee and also a giant pain in your ass.

Maddie: What was the donor like? I mean, as far as his paperwork said?

Maddie: Me too. I mean, obviously I'm not as impatient as you, but I'm getting there.
