Walking into your room after dinner you see Kili playing with Marila. He is trying to help her walk. Her small chubby hands were holding his fingers as she bounced thrusting her hips. Her small whines and unsteady feet were too cute. "Come on, Mari, Adad has got you." He said as he gently guided her closer to her crib. She stumbled a bit but Kili kept her up right filling the air with praise when she took steps rather than being pulled forward. they finally came full circle around her crib. As they rounded the far side Kili saw you and raised his eyebrows looking back down to Mari. "Do you see this, Amad?"
"Amad!" Mari piped up. The top of her small head could be seen moving left and right trying to find me.
Kili staggered as a look of panic took him over. Mari rounded the crib and came running as fast as her chubby legs could carry her. You stepped forward to meet her and save her in case she stumbled. She reached out for you with a huge grin. "Amad!" She yelled out as you picked her up. Your eyes grew wet as you looked from Mari to Kili still on the other side of the crib.
"She is growing up so fast!" You cried and Mari laughed.
"Don't worry," Kili said coming around the crib and pulling us both in for a hug. ",I have got you."
Most times when Tim and Lucy’s shifts don’t match up Tim finds himself disappointed at the fact they won’t get to spend their down time with each other for the next few days, but today is an exception. So, unless the jewelry store that him and Angela are at get robbed and Lucy is needed on scene as a supervising officer the probability of him running into Lucy today is pretty low.
Tim and Lucy have been dating for just over three years now with a lot changing over those few years, professionally and personally.
Lucy had been a UC detective for two years before deciding that she didn’t want to continue down that path and decided to go back to patrol while she figured her next move. It was only a few months before she decided to take the sergeant’s exam. As soon as she passed the exam Grey, now a captain, tapped her to become Watch Commander for patrol. Tim on the other hand was comfortable with staying as a sergeant despite multiple attempts from higher ups that he was being looked at for becoming the lieutenant over the metro division.
When it came to their personal lives, they both agreed to move in together to a new house since they knew they would need the extra space for expanding their family one day. Tamara decided to stay at the apartment even though they offered to let her move in with them since the apartment ended being closer to her job that she has now that she’s moved on from babysitting. When Lucy and Tim announced that Lucy was moving in with Tim, Celina asked if she thought Tamara would be open to having another roommate. Tamara ended up agreeing and now she and Celina are sharing the apartment.
Tim is snapped out of his thoughts when he hears Angela call him over to the display she’s at.
“Hey, what do you think of these?” Angela says pointing to a silver tension ring with a cushion cut diamond.
“Uh, its fine but its not really the style that I’m looking for. I think that Lucy would appreciate something a little more unique.”
“Alright, so what do you have in mind?”
“Well, I’m actually having me and Lucy’s bands custom made. Hers is going to be a rose gold band that looks like an actual rose and well I know a guy so it seemed easier than trying to come here to-“
“Wait, you’re having you and Lucy’s ring custom made?” Angela says cutting off Tim in surprise.
“Yeah, why? Wait do you think that’s too much?” Tim says worry etched all over his face.
“No, no.” She says quickly waving off Tim’s worry. “I think that’s incredibly thoughtful and amazing, but Tim if you’re having you’re rings custom made why are we here?”
“Well, I do still need a diamond to go in Lucy’s band and I need to figure what type of cut I want so I can give it to my guy so he can create the right shape on the band and inlay the diamond. I was thinking of a cushion or round cut but I’m open to other cuts.”
“When did you learn so much about diamond cuts and shapes?”
“Ang, I think you’ve forgotten that I was married before and I helped you and my sister during your weddings. A process that included a lot of looking at and talking about wedding bands and diamonds and everything else in- between.”
“Good point.” Angela spots a display showcasing the different types of diamond cuts and what they look like on different ring designs. “Hey what do you think of these?” She asks leading Tim over to display.
In the display there are a variety of diamonds in different cuts and colors. Tim scans the case until his eyes fall onto a one and a half carat green round cut diamond. Originally, he hadn’t considered getting anything but a regular clear diamond the Lucy’s ring but now that he’s seen this diamond he knows it’s the right one for Lucy.
“So, that’s the one huh?” Angela says over Tim’s shoulder. “It’s beautiful.”
“Yeah, it is. You think Lucy will like it?”
“Tim you could probably propose to Lucy with a ring pop and she would like it, but to answer your question I think she would love this Tim. 100% percent without a doubt. Now the real question is how much does it cost?”
“I’ve been saving up for a ring for over a year now. As long as it doesn’t cost as much as my truck I should be able to afford it.”
“Okay, then. I’ll go get one of the sales guys let’s get your girl a proper diamond.”
After Angela brings the sales representative over to where Tim is still standing at the display it only takes a few minutes for Tim to finalize the sale of the diamond. On their way out of the jewelry store Tim thanks Angela for coming with him.
“No problem as much as I love my boys I needed a break from them. I’m really happy Wesley has weekends off and was able to watch the boys today. What do you think about picking up some lunch before you drop me off?”
“Okay, as long as you don’t interrogate me about my plans for the proposal.”
Angela laughs. “No promises there, but I’ll pay for lunch.”
“Deal.”
_______________________________
Nearly a month after Tim ordered the rings he’s finally ready to propose to Lucy. The rings had come in a week ago and have been sitting in a secret drawer in his desk at home for the time being. Since then with the help of Angela, Tamara, and Wade he’s been preparing for the proposal. Most of the help came in the form of hiding away certain decorations at their houses and asking them for help with refining any ideas that he had.
Now him and Tamara are setting up the backyard with string lights, rose petals, and candles as quickly as they can before Lucy arrives back home from her girl’s day out with Angela, Nyla, and a couple of friends from UC school. Tim decides to add a couple of blankets on the lounge chairs just in case him and Lucy end up enjoying the night spring weather cuddled in each other’s arms. As Tim is putting on some of the finishing touches on the backyard he sees Tamara putting Kojo in a grey hoodie and placing a green bow tie around Kojo’s neck.
“Now that is one handsome dog.” Tamara says as she pets Kojo.
“Yes, he is. Let’s just hope that he doesn’t try to eat his bow tie before Lucy gets here.”
Tim and Tamara’s phones both ding. Tamara takes her phone out first and looks at the text message.
“Yeah, I don’t think that’s something we’re going to have to worry about Angela just texted. They’re only fifteen minutes away. Which means you need to hurry up and go change.” Tamara says as she gestures toward the t-shirt and sweatpants that Tim is wearing.
“Sh*t, you’re right. Okay, so how does the backyard look? Do you think Lucy is going to like?” Tim asks, the words practically flying out of his mouth as he the fact that he’s about to propose to Lucy Chen sinks in.
“Tim the backyard looks great and Lucy is going to love everything about this okay. I’m pretty sure she’s shown me the same Pinterest idea boards as you so trust me when I say she is going to be amazed so take a deep breath and relax. Remember all of this was technically the hard part, now all you have to do is ask Lucy to marry you.”
“Right, all I have to do is ask her to marry me. Four simple words. I’m going to change what are you going to do?”
“Probably sit down for a few minutes, order some food, and watch TV. Now go before you’re stuck proposing in sweats.” Tamara says, shooing Tim away.
Tim rushes to his room and quickly changes into a green dress shirt, a black bow tie and black pants. He gives himself a quick look over in his mirror, running a hand through his hair in a vain attempt to calm his nerves.
He’s excited and nervous at the same time and he can feel a serious bout of butterflies fluttering in his stomach and chest. He can’t believe that he’s about to ask Lucy to marry him, to finally start the rest of their lives together.
Tim looks at Lucy’s favorite green dress that’s laying on their bed with a note next to it telling her to put it on before coming outside to the back yard. He takes one last look at himself before going to his office to pick up the rings. He goes over to Kojo and places the silicone rings in the pocket of Kojo’s hoodie before he heads back out to the back yard to wait for Lucy.
Tim unconsciously flips the ring box open and close as he waits for Lucy to arrive back with Angela and Nyla. It’s only a few minutes later when he hears Angela’s car pull up to the driveway. Even though he can’t make out what the three women are saying as they say their goodbyes to each other he feels his body relax as listens to Lucy’s voice. The nerves he felt earlier begin to melt away because even though taking this step again is terrifying, he knows without a shadow of doubt that him and Lucy are made for each other. There are butterflies still in his stomach but this time it’s only due to the anticipation of seeing Lucy being able to hold her in his arms again because she’s been his home for a while now and he can’t see his life without her in it.
When Tim sees Lucy start to walk outside, he shoves the ring in his back pocket before standing up from his seat and meeting her at the doorway.
“Wow, you look amazing.” Tim says breathlessly as he takes in Lucy’s simple beauty in the green dress.
Lucy blushes and brushes a
how as your day out?” Tim asks as he takes Lucy hand in his leading her over to the middle of the back yard.
“It was great. Angela, Nyla, and I had a great time today. I think we all needed some time out together away from work. By the way everything looks amazing when did you have time do all of this?” Lucy says excitedly as she looks around at all of the decorations in the backyard.
“Uh, Tamara and I decorated everything while you were out. I really wanted to surprise you for tonight.”
“Well consider me surprised. So, what’s the special occasion?”
“We are actually.” Tim takes Lucy’s hand and kneels down on one knee. He hears Lucy’s gasp of surprise and sees tears spring to her eyes when he meets her gaze. Tim takes a deep breath to steady his nerves before he speaks. “Lucy Chen, every day that I’ve known you, you have helped to make become a better man. I know that this is where you usually say that I put in the work, but it was you that gave me the continuous push I needed to start making real changes in my life. You became someone that I knew I could lean on and trust with even my deepest fears and worries and every day you accepted me for who I was and helped me become the man I am today. Soon you became the person I love more than anyone in the world and my home. Every single day I fall more in love with you, and I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you. Lucy Chen, will you marry me?” Tim pulls the box from his pocket and opens it showcasing the emerald ring that lay inside.
By the time Tim finishes his speech Lucy is smiling despite the tears running down her face.
“Yes.”
“Yeah?” Tim says in slight disbelief.
“Yes, Tim I’ll marry you.”
Tim stands and wraps Lucy in his arms kissing her passionately. Tim reluctantly breaks the kiss to place the ring on Lucy’s finger. He gently wipes away Lucy’s happy tears and places a kiss on her cheek.
Tim hears clapping coming from the backyard door. When he looks up he sees Tamara, holding her phone with the recording light on, along with Kojo standing on the patio.
“That was the most beautiful proposal I’ve seen.”
“Isn’t this the only proposal you’ve seen?” Lucy asks, turning in Tim’s arms to look at Tamara.
“I would like to think the proposals I’ve seen in Tv shows and movies count as well.”
Tim snorts. “Yeah, okay fair enough. I’m guessing you captured everything on your phone?”
“Oh, yeah. I can’t wait to show everyone.”
“Well, do you think you can hold off on sending it to everyone for a few days. I think Tim and I would like a few days of being engaged without everyone calling and asking about details about our engagement and plans for our wedding.” Lucy says.
“Yeah, no problem. But hey if you want to use the video for your wedding I know just the guy to ask about editing it for you.”
“Thanks, T.”
The doorbell rings and Tim gets an alert on his phone. When he looks at his phone he sees a young delivery man standing outside with a few bags of food.
“It looks like your food arrived Tamara.”
“Yes, let me go it. And don’t worry I got enough tacos for all of us.” Tamara says as she rushes inside to pay for the food.
“Mmm, tacos do sound good right about now. Come on, let’s go inside before Tam eats everything.” Lucy says as she grabs Tim’s hand and begins to lead him inside.
“Oh, wait. There’s one more thing.” Tim says stopping Lucy from continuing. He calls Kojo over and stoops down to pet Kojo before reaching inside the dog’s hoodie and grabbing another ring box and hands it to Lucy. “Here, I know that we can’t exactly wear our normal engagement rings on the job so I thought this might be a good substitute for when we’re out in the field.”
When Lucy opens the box it reveals a rose gold silicone ring with a green stripe going around the middle.
“Tim this is perfect I love it. Also Kojo looks so cute dressed up in his little bow tie and hoodie. Whose idea was it to dress him up for tonight?”
“I was originally only going to have him in the bow tie, but Tamara suggested we give him his own hoodie.”
Lucy laughs. “Of course she did. It was a really cute idea. Remind me to take some pictures of him before the night is over.”
“Okay, Luce.” Tim presses a gentle kiss to the top of Lucy’s head before letting her lead him inside with Kojo following behind them.
When they enter the kitchen Tamara already has all of the food and drinks laid out. Once Tamara notices them she starts to explain everything she got for everyone before they all settle in to eat. They end up eating in the living room and watching a movie together. After they finish eating and watching the movie together the three of them work together to clean up and put everything up. It’s only when Tamara takes Kojo out for his last walk of the night that Tim and Lucy are alone again.
Tim places his hands on Lucy’s waist as she wraps her arms around his shoulders as they stand in the kitchen.
“You know today is easily one of the best days I’ve ever had and I think its time we celebrate.” Lucy says.
“Yeah, and what did you have in mind?”
“Something that’s going to put all that fuel to good use and maybe make a mess of that suit while we’re at it.” Lucy says, pulling on Tim’s tie.
Their celebrations starts off slow and sensual before turning hot and passionate. Lucy makes good on her promise to make a mess of Tim’s suit and well Tim makes a mess of Lucy in return.
It’s not until the late afternoon the next day that they leave the room. After a long hot shower to wash off the night Tim and Lucy get dressed in lounge clothes. Tim tackles breakfast while Lucy handles the morning laundry. Later on when they’re sitting down eating Tim’s breath is knocked out of him when he sees Lucy wearing her engagement ring. Even though he saw her wearing it yesterday after his accepted proposal seeing her wear it everyday solidifies that they really are going to spend forever with each other. He can’t wait to do forever with her.
Zyglavis plans a birthday surprise for his wife but not everything go as planned and he gets a surprise instead.

So, Happy Birthday, Feather! (a little later because my computer and internet wouldn't let me post it on time) Here's a little gift for you! Thank you for running this blog with me and for being my inspiration to be here!
AO3 Version / SCM Masterlist / General Masterlist
Zyglavis had never paid any particular attention to dates before he started dating and later married a human woman. He was aware of human holidays that made the gods’ work more difficult, but it wasn’t like he kept track of them before.
With her, though, these had become important events to remember. He was usually still busy, but Zyglavis made sure he could spend at least a few hours by the side of his beloved and picked out gifts when appropriate.
Not only holidays, but other personal dates. One of them the turn of the year that she insisted they spent together, and that also signaled the beginning of her vacation.
She made a point to take her vacation at the same time every year and spend the entire January with him so they could start the year together.
And that wasn’t the only reason the month was special, but also because her birthday was at the end of it.
Gods didn’t have the habit of celebrating birthdays, or of keeping track of them, but Zyglavis knew how important it was for his human partner. So he had already made plans for their date. Plans that were ruined from the morning by a message on her phone.
“Is it work?” Zyglavis asked, seeing his wife frown at her phone’s screen, then sigh.
“Three people called in sick today and they are understaffed. I was really looking forward to today but… sorry. At least it seems I won’t be leaving too late.”
She really looked down and Zyglavis was tempted to snap his fingers and solve the situation, but he knew what she would say about that. So he only hugged her.
“Work is work. You don’t have to apologize.” She snuggled in his chest and Zyglavis combed his fingers through her hair. “It is now what we were expecting, but I’ll pick you up after work and we’ll spend the rest of the day together.”
They stayed in each other’s arms until they realized she would be late.
As he watched her hurrying to get ready, Zyglavis thought of how ironic it was. Back when they were dating, and even sometimes after, it was always him who had to change plans or put them on hold because of work. She had never complained and was always careful of not asking too much from him. She never held it against him either, even if they spent months without seeing each other.
It wasn’t the first time the situation was reversed but, usually they didn’t have big plans when it happened.
Zyglavis used his powers to take his wife to work, then tried to decide on a new plan for her birthday.
Humans usually threw parties to celebrate these dates, but he didn’t want to share the little time they had with anyone, and she was outgrowing big gatherings herself.
But what about a small, private party? He didn’t know much about cooking by hand, but enough to bake her a cake. As long as he had a recipe, Zyglavis was good at following instructions and they had done that together a few times, enough for him to learn something.
Decorations he would have to do with his powers, but that didn’t seem like a problem. And he had already gotten a gift for her. He just had to choose a nice, romantic place. They couldn’t go far the human way, but Zyglavis believed she wouldn’t mind if he transported them there, considering the time they had.
So the major work was actually baking. He choose a recipe a little fancier than the one they used to bake together - which might have been a little ambitious of him, but Zyglavis was confident in what he had learned, living with her for two years, not counting the time they spent dating - which meant he had to use his powers to get some ingredients there weren’t in the kitchen.
The hard part was using kitchen appliances like a mixer. There weren’t proper instructions on how to assemble and use it, and working together meant his attention was usually somewhere else while his wife handled the contraption.
At least, since they started living together, Zyglavis had a kitchen in his room, so no one else needed to know how the first attempt went and the mess was cleaned with a snap. And Zyglavis learned fast from his mistakes, so the cake was ready with time to spare.
Zyglavis did some research on birthday party decorations and spots he could set their little party on and ended up settling for a place in the heavens rather than on Earth.
They usually lived in the gods’ mansion on Earth most of the year because it was easier for his wife to go to and from work on her own, so it was a good idea to spend the last moments of her vacation month in the heavens too.
When it came the time to pick his wife at work, Zyglavis was waiting for her but she wasn’t coming out, until he was informed she had passed out and was taken to the hospital.
Worried, Zyglavis snapped his fingers as soon as he was out of anyone’s sight, transporting himself to the indicated hospital to find her leaving and looking perfectly fine.
“Are you hurt? Why didn’t you call to me?” He immediately went to check her for injuries, but she hugged him instead.
“I’m fine, Zyglavis. I just got careless and ended up eating too many sweets in the last few days, and my blood pressure went down.” She laughed. “I didn’t want to worry you since it wasn’t serious.”
Well, she had complained about eating too much sweets a couple of days before, but she was complaining because she wasn’t exercising as much as she used to either and was afraid of gaining weight, not because it might make her ill, although he had advised her to cut a little on them, because he knew too many sweets wasn’t good for humans.
Although he could tell she wasn’t lying, there was a discreet tension in her eyes and voice.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. You don’t have to worry. Are we going home?”
“No. Since our plans had to be changed, I have a surprise for you. If you feel fine enough for it.”
She nodded and hugged him, which he took as an opportunity to transport them to a beautiful flower field in the heavens, where he had already decorated like he’d seen humans do.
“Wow! This is so beautiful.” She hugged him tighter. “Thank you, love.”
“It is our own private party. I used my powers to decorate, but I made the cake myself.”
“Cake?” She pulled away. “What cake?”
Chuckling, Zyglavis snapped his fingers before she could turn around, transporting the cake from his room and materializing a lit candle.
He’d made a small, three tiered chocolate ganache cake, not too sweet because she had been complaining about her recent eating habits.
“I know this isn’t half of what I promised you, but…”
“This is more than enough. Since I had to work, I was thinking we would just spend time together at home, but you threw me a party in a beautiful place. And you really made this cake without your powers! What else could I want?”
“But you are not entirely happy, my goddess. What is it?”
She didn’t think he hadn’t noticed the way her body tensed and her eyes only settled on him for a short time before darting around, did she?
“I just didn’t know how to bring it up…” She turned away, then back to him, but looking down, her voice low and cautious. “It is true that I had pressure problems because of the sweets, but that’s not everything…” She ran a hand through her hair and Zyglavis pulled her into his arms.
“Take a deep breath. Whatever it is, you can tell me.”
“I lost track of time for being in the heavens for a while and… I completely forgot to take my medicine on time…” Zyglavis knew where this was going before she finished and understood her nervousness all too well, so he hugged her even tighter. “Zyglavis?” She asked, surprised and worried.
“Are you happy?” was all he could ask, good and bad situations crossing his mind.
“I should be… no. I am happy. I’m going to have a child with the man I love. Why wouldn’t I be?” She pulled back just enough to look him in the eyes, nervousness being replaced by determination and delight, that reflected exactly his last thoughts. “I know demigods are taboo in the heavens and that having this child won’t be easy, but this is the ideal life I always dreamed of but tried to ignore because I told myself we couldn’t… but we have overcome so much together already. Our love was forbidden from the start, but here we are, married and happy. And, you know, whenever I look at you, I feel like everything will be alright. It will be difficult, but our love can overcome any challenge in the end.”
Her words reflected his exact thoughts, and Zyglavis couldn’t help but kiss her.
“Yes. We’ll get through this together as a family. It won’t be easy, but I’ll do everything in my power to take care of you and this child and make you happy.”
“I know you will, and I will be the one to protect you. Like a family should.”
A family! Zyglavis had never entertained the thought, even after they got married. Every little step of their relationship had been marked by dangerous challenges, and this one might, too. But, now that it was happening, he would fight to keep that new fragment of happiness in their lives.
To think he would go so far to break so many of the heavens’ laws for the love of that woman. A human he shouldn’t have even met, but now he couldn’t live without. It was truly a miracle they had gone so far, and they would continue doing so for as long as they lived.
“Oh, the candle is melting!” She suddenly exclaimed. “Can’t have this cake going to waste when you have gone to so much trouble to make it.” She laughed and kissed him.
“And now we have one more reason to celebrate.” He interlaced his fingers with hers and the two walked to the blanket he’d set down like it was a picnic.
“Yeah. Thank you for supporting me, my love.” She turned her attention back to the cake and blew the candle. “My only wish is for our future happiness. And I can tell you that, because I know you’re the only one who can make it come true.”
Zyglavis kissed her again, each kiss deeper than the other.
“Happy birthday, my goddess.”
“Thank you for making it a happy day, because it wouldn’t be that happy without you.”
“We are the same, then.”
Because he would never be so happy if he hadn’t met her. He was a better god and a better man with her and their growing family could only make him keep growing as both, so no matter how many challenges they faced, Zyglavis knew nothing bad could come of their love.

“Comin’ in hot, Boss.”
Tony had absentmindedly told FRIDAY to answer the phone call from Happy, but now he was confused. “What?”
“Your Spider-kid is having some sensory issues, and is threatening to throw up in my car. I’m not cleaning that up.” Tony could hear through his friend’s gruffness, and knew he was worried. “He’s yours as soon as I pull into the garage in five.”
Tony frowned. Peter hadn’t had any sensory episodes in months, and he hadn’t mentioned that he was having trouble at school today, even though he and Tony had texted a few times earlier.
“Okay, Hap, I’ll meet you there.”
Part of the post-Homecoming series "Strands in the Rope," which attempts to show how Tony and Peter's relationship might have developed between Homecoming and Infinity War, but can stand alone, also. Mostly. These stories are starting to build on each other a little more as we start counting down time to Infinity War.

A Year of Romy - January
“Finally! I’ve been waiting for this forever.” Remy stood in front of the window with the curtains flung back. A bright, diffused light filled the room. Along with the light, a cold draft slipped into the room, sending another chill up Rogue’s spine.
“Waiting for what?” Rogue shivered as she pulled the blankets tighter around her shoulders and snuggled further back onto the couch. Her husband was certifiably crazy if he was going to greet the day with such glee. She'd been too cold to even consider changing out of her pajamas. Instead she'd added robe and blankets to her ensemble. “A snow day?”
“Oui.” Remy scooped Oliver out of the way and deposited the protesting cat on the end of the couch as he crossed towards the kitchen.
Rogue rolled her eyes. “Not me. If it never snowed again, it’d be too soon.”
Remy clicked his tongue against the back of his teeth and shook his head. Long strands of his auburn fringe fell in his face with the movement. “Mon coeur, you’re missing all the potential. The others certainly can’t expect two southerners like us to brave such inclement weather. They’ll just have to go on without us.”
Carlos found another one of TKs post-its on his desk at the precinct. This one said „Love you, meet me for lunch on your break 😘“.
Carlos had been finding notes like this on his desk every day since Jan 1st and while he loved them and his fiancé with all his heart, verbal expressions of affection where much more TKs style.
So while they were having lunch at their favorite food truck he just had to ask TK why he was getting these lovely notes every day.
TK blushed but replied „My New Year’s Resolution was to tell you I love you every single day of the year and while I can do that whenever we’re together I thought I’d remind you at work, when we can’t be.“
„But how are you pulling this off? You can’t be at the precinct every day to drop off the post-its“ Carlos wondered.
„Really, future detective Reyes?! You have no idea how the post-its find their way to your desk? Not even a hunch?“ TK teased.
Carlos rolled his eyes at this fiancés antics but replied „You must have help...“
„Sure do“ was TKs sassy reply. „Lexi’s been a huge help in this. Couldn’t do it without her“
