We’re finally together as a whole family ❤️❤️❤️❤️

"Huh… sitting extra snug today…"

What's snug?

"My coat. It's not conforming to my model like usual." His hand smoothed over the swell of his belly, he couldn't help but wince slightly at the sensitivity. "Feels like something's pressing out against my internal colliders."

"Weird... I'd shrug my shoulders if I had any!"

"Hmm..."

He was painfully aware that his system had seemingly decided to go through some very strange, rapid changes as of late in response to... something.

It made him a bit apprehensive to find that not only had his system's protection protocol somehow neglected to mend the issue, but said issue only seemed to evolve more and more as time went on.

Though try as he might, this couldn't be left ignored any longer.

Wordlessly he stared at his reflection.

Given that he could swap outfits at will with the snap of a finger, it'd been a good while since he'd actually stripped down to his base model. And it'd been even longer since he'd seen the pulsing light in his chest that was his core.

The first thing that stuck out to him, that was usually a bit more masked by his clothing, was the now prominent curve that spanned the distance between the ribs and pelvic region of his torso.

... but as he looked closer...

Tentatively he turned in the mirror, trying to get a better look at this… new development.

The best news ever: Baby HelixGiggles is here and home with us! @helixtickl and I are the proudest, luckiest parents of this beautiful boy 🥰👶🍼✨

Little man is wonderful and occupies about 95% of my every waking thought right now, so I may be less present here as I care for him and heal my body, other than night shift hours while the little nugget is resting.

Thank you to all the folks that have been so lovely and supportive already! We have such kind friends and sweet folks around us, it really is a joy.

Update 2: Electric Boogaloo

(CW: Mental Health, S/Ideation, Therapy)

Thank you again to everyone that took the time to read and share my previous post, and the biggest friggin bear hugs to those who were able to donate during what has been a very rough time in my life.

To be honest, I feel like I've had my head under water since the holidays, and finally breached the surface to find that March had come and gone. Without going into everything that's happened (because there's honestly just too much and this post is long enough already); I have had *so much* random misfortune since Dec and simultaneously have been under *so much* stress at work, that by the time my piece of shit roommate left us out to dry, I really wanted to end it. I couldn't and wouldn't, I love my husband and kitties too much. But I was having a hard time finding a reason to go on for myself. We were facing impending homelessness and I felt helpless to change it. I went to bed most nights hoping I just wouldn't wake up, because at least then my husband would have my life insurance to take care of him. And when I asked for a single day off to deal with everything that was happening, my boss called and screamed at me until I was sobbing for daring to ask.

I want to assuage any worry - we have a new roommate, I borrowed against my 401k and paid off a ton of my debt, and as of this week, I’m on medical leave to attend an Intensive Outpatient Program for mental health. Things aren't perfect, but I'm taking the steps I need to get to a better place.

With all that said, I am excited to come back to the community. I'm honestly not sure how active I will be right away, but I can't ignore the fact that this kink and this community bring me active joy, and I need to nurture this part of me too. Thanks for being here with me 💙
