When You're Alone || @anoffendingshadow

Cherise knew she had to go back to Peter’s office. Two things weighed on her mind since they had last seen each other and she couldn’t stay away much longer. She had waited until darkness was a proper cover and slipped into his office. She wished she had brought more than a few containers of dessert leftovers. He was likely well fed at home and didn’t need to feed him, but berry cobbler was a treat she didn’t make very often and banana pudding had been a request from her children. Maybe next time she’d take a special request from Peter. “Hey?” Cherise peered her head around a corner and looked inside, trying to search in the dim light for her lawyer. “I uh, brought you something. We had some dessert at dinner so, uh...oh god I hope I’m not talking to an empty room...” She leaned in the doorway and hugged onto it for a second. Cherise kept her eyes closed and tried to think of Mr. Banning in her mind. Suddenly she thought of her father. It wasn’t just his words, but she was comparing them. Within her mind, they did seem to look a great deal alike... anoffendingshadow

Your big brother is dating Ariel. Uh-oh...

ooc: Have you seen Ariel? She’s pretty hot. Also they’re not “dating”. They’re um.Enjoy the smut. :DRemember, I’ve said before… Like picture all of this as some manga or some long, drawn-out anime. Cherise/Ariel would be a legit ship and there would be some serious fan works written about them.Lots of yuri.Like with how CLOSE they are? Like sisterhood my ass. You might have sisterhood in the plot but who are you kidding? If we had a fandom they would be totally shipping it, too.Because Ariel is hot and has many ships.

“I think it looks adequate.” he wasn’t very good at describing what she looked like in the wedding gown. He did think she was beautiful but he figured she knew half as much already. “Why did you bring me here again? I don’t think I can be much help when it comes to matters like these.”

That wasn't what she had wanted to hear. “Adequate..okay.” Ariel quickly walked back to the changing room and tried to get undressed. “I wanted an opinion and yeah...you're not being much help. If you didn't know what to say then...” She shook her head, “Ugh! No, sorry. Sorry. This is on me. This is all on me.” Ariel called him over, “Can you untie the back, please. I can't get out of this adequate dress...”

Encroaching Shadows | @anoffendingshadow

Tests. There were too many tests. It was driving her insane. Couldn't the nurses just tell her that Kiernan was alright? In her nervousness, Cherise had insisted Archie go with the newborn. He wasn't going to be alone and there wouldn't be some sort of cross-realm chase if anything bad happened. She refused and in her state, she was powerless to stop anything. The room was quiet and eerily so. She could see the shadows of the trees forming odd shapes on the tile and it was bothering her. It roused her from the bed and caused her to walk slowly towards the window and gaze up at the moon. Cherise pressed her fingertips against the cool glass and longed for her freedom. She wondered what her children were doing. Sleeping, probably. Or maybe Granny and Marco were busy entertaining them with stories and a movie. Maybe Ruby was braiding Usagi's hair. Blue probably was putting the triplets to bed. Everything else was calm, but Cherise was not. Even stargazing couldn't comfort her.

in their old age, reminiscing about their past history.

It always surprised her how handsome Archie looked with gray hair. In a way, each of their wrinkles were a little victory for life. Lovers, husband and wife, parents, and partners in every sense, Archie and Cherise had certainly earned their rest. Cherise looked on lovingly as the sunset warmed her face. This night was the most important night to her."Need a lift?" His voice was still strong, but softer with age. They were hardened by many years of fighting, sometimes literally, but softened by love.Bound to a wheelchair, Cherise opened her arms and allowed Archie to gently lift her onto a blanket in the grass. She leaned against him and breathed softly, listening to his heart. His arms, still strong as before, wrapped around her."Happy Tanabata, Archie." Cherise squeaked. "All these years… We’ve never missed it.""Not once. Do you remember? I told you I was going to be a father. It was right here.""I cried. I thought you’d never get to see your child… Our Jemmy."Archie kissed the crown of Cherise’s head and gently rubbed at her skinny legs. “You are a wonderful mother…and an over indulgent grandmother.”"Just like we dreamed of. Like we always dreamed of." She looked up at Archie with her dark eyes. They were tired but they still had all of the adoration as they had when that very same cricket had shown that he cared for her.Archie smiled back with that same exhausted look and loving spark in his eyes. He fluffed her hair and placed a peck on her lips. “To our happily ever after…”

Cherise had been seeing a boy flying at Usagi’s window for weeks, but had thought nothing of it. She simply had been shutting the curtains and trying to forget about it. Eventually she had started to buy extra toys and clothes befitting the age of the child she saw, as well as a candy bar. It was probably a mistake to hide them as an offering at her open windowsill on a warm night, but it was hard for her to shake the maternal feeling that even a boy like, dare she think it, Peter Pan could catch a chill, would like a snack, or care for something to play with.
