Anonysis here again, and I’m so sorry for bothering you, but that single mom Hermes story is just bouncing in my mind, heh. There’s no need to make changes this time, here’s just a few bullet points of what Hermes is going thru:
-Hermes is broke, having no job to support her or Gloria.
-Hermes is unemployed, again, no job.
-She’s in a deep depression due to Weather’s death and the fact she was never able to tell Weather about Gloria. Sometimes, the guilt and PTSD from the fight overwhelms her and she just can’t get out of bed (or her car seat) in the mornings, but hearing Gloria cry hurts her already bleeding heart. So she gets up anyway.
-When she makes it to Jotaro’s house, it starts to rain. Causing Jotaro to get her and the baby inside the house quickly.
-Hermes is wearing her prison clothes but wears her father’s jacket over her and the child. She has bags under her eyes, and her hairs a mess. Gloria is relatively clean compared to her mother.
-Hermes had to sell most of her clothes for money she spent on her, Gloria, and for food for the both of them. The only thing she has left is a couple pairs of shoes, ten pairs of shirts, and few pairs of skirts/pants/and dresses. They only fit into a gym bag and one suitcase.
-Gloria’s appearance is up to you. I was thinking Gloria had blond hair (cuz Hermes’s sister, Gloria had it) she has Weather’s blue eyes, and Hermes in the face (I.e, nose, lips, facial structure. Her eyes are large and doughy, but still sharp like her mother’s)
-Hermes admits she wanted to put Gloria up for adoption. But breaks down at the thought of it, saying that Gloria is the only piece of Weather she has left and is her first child, she doesn’t want to leave her, but she doesn’t want her daughter to see her struggle either.
-Gloria is scared of Jotaro at first, but his fatherly instincts and calm movements with her easily puts her on ease and warms up to him pretty quickly.
-It’s already been stated, but Hermes is a complete mess. After the shopping trip, Hermes is completely burnt out. Gloria starts crying, and Hermes is just begging her to stop crying as she’s had a long day and wants some rest. Jotaro sees this and tells her to take a shower, put on her pajamas, and go to bed. Hermes doesn’t try to argue with him as he’s right. While she’s taking a shower, Jotaro does manly, father things and puts Gloria to bed.
-As he’s putting her to bed, he sees that Hermes has snuggled up in his bed. He’s surprised, but after seeing how comfortable she looks, for what might be the first time in a while, he climbs in bed with her. Kissing her goodnight before wrapping his arms around her waist.
-She often talks to a picture of Weather before bed, always apologizing for ending up like this and not telling him sooner. She asks him for forgiveness, but doesn’t get a response in return. Jotaro hears this one night and this is what prompts him to offer her a room in his bed so she wouldn’t have to be alone in her own thoughts.
-Hermes and Jotaro have may or may not have underlying feelings for each other (this note is completely optional), thus causing the reasons why they kiss each other.
-Hermes is a bit of a worrywart with Gloria, but Jotaro always reassures her that everything’s fine. This causes her heart to speed up a bit and her cheeks to burn.
That’s all the notes I have tbh, I feel like you’ll have a lot of fun exploring this! (Okay, this is actually my last one, thank you!^^)
This is helpful, thank you!
