he sits in silence for a moment or two, a heavy sigh leaving him. everything aches after a long day at the garage, but that isn't exactly new. he loves his girlfriend more than anything in this world ( hannah, of course, is a close second ), but getting into another argument with her leaves him just as exhausted. is he okay? he guesses so, because things could certainly be worse. he runs his hands through his hair and he eventually nods, a small smile pushed onto his lips as he turns his attention to hannah. "yeah... yeah, i'm okay. just tired. is there somethin' that you need, banana?"

" you did good today , kiddo , " tony cracks a kind smile over at the girl , producing a ( mostly ) clean rag from his coveralls and tossing it her way. yeah , he hadn't really expected to be on babysitting duty today , but he knows how hard ethan and lex work and hell , if he can give them a little time to just be kids , he's gonna try. besides , hannah's a good kid. sure , he may not always be a fan of the choices his son has made in the last four years , but that's hardly the girl's fault. taking out another , more well-used rag rag he wipes the sweat and engine grease from his forehead. " gotta close up now , but after we can order in something. you like chinese food or what ? "
A LETTER FROM @willowdied ARRIVES CONCERNING THE META : META + her daughter / mortal realm family.
i would like to imagine that esmé was already pregnant before meeting chirp, it wasn't noticeable and chirp didn’t know ( she also didn’t understand how human reproduction works so she wouldn’t have known anyway ). esmé was doing her at - home workout routine, which consisted of running on the treadmill, when she heard a LOUD THUMP at a nearby window. when she went to check it out, she finds an injured chirp, who was distracted and flew straight into her glass window. esmé casted cure wounds and she, being nice, invited chirp inside to which she obliged. they got to know each other—mostly it was esmé asking genuine, normal questions ( she is a journalist in my headcanon ) while chirp was asking questions related to s3x and trying to segue that into the bedroom—and they did, indeed, fuck.
it wouldn’t be the last time seeing her though. when chirp visited the material plane ( it being like the second or third time ), she was very curious about the stuff the kind stranger told her so on her little sight seeing adventure, she encountered esmé while she was working and was offered going out for some coffee. this is also when chirp learned that she CANNOT have coffee. she felt like shit the next few days and esmé took care of her. more getting to know each other and more bedroom stuff happen while chirp stayed in the material plane for a bit. when chirp does return to the fey realm, there was talk from grandfather about the material plane stuff which she thought she was caught. fortunately, she wasn’t. she continues to visit and sometimes will run into her window in the “ oh no~ i injured myself! what a coincidence that it was your window i crashed into ” fashion. at this point, chirp definitely caught feelings. something just felt different with her.
a little later when the baby bump got bigger and a little harder to hide, chirp was told everything and she was left conflicted. there was a period of time where she went radio silent and didn't visit the material plane, or at least not esmé, out of fear and she didn't have the heart to tell her so in one of her final visits, she lied and said there was something she had to tend to in the fey realm. this " hiatus ” gave her some time to come to terms with her feelings, what to do because of grandfather's beliefs, and how to resolve things. and in a cliche turn of events, finally bird-ing up to return to the material plane and tell esmé the truth, chirp miraculously arrived at the hospital and was present when peep was born. HOWEVER, her plan didn't follow through because she saw how tired esmé was and felt it was an inappropriate time for this sort of thing.
the moment that really solidifed her committment to a relationship was walking in on esmé cradling peep on the bed all wrapped up. it was a really vulnerable and surprisingly emotional point for chirp that she did cry and pop the question. instead of presenting a ring, chirp gave them her magic and told her everything, including how the time she didn’t visit was because she was fearful and she makes a promise that she wouldn’t lie to her again and would be there for every step of the way like esmé was with her.
she visited the material plane more frequently after peep. i’d like to think she is the more chill mom out of the two that lets her child do some wicked stuff like some pranks and maybe boasting about birds ... esmé has told her before she probably shouldn’t tell her child to say her great grandfather created birds if she’s trying to hide the fact that but chirp absolutely whispers it. she also tries to teach her child magic at an early age, because it was more about presentation and deeds in faerie methinks, so it’s that sense of worth and thinking that her child will love her more. but you know, it’s not and it makes chirp emo.
[ PLAY ]: while sitting together, the sender absently lifts the receiver’s hand, idly running their fingertips across the lines of their palms, mapping out every inch of their hand with slow, lazy touches. - ( Binx ) @willowdied
At first, Andhera tries to keep his emotions in check, simply because he knows that if he doesn’t, they’re both going to end up being soaked through from the rain that will inevitably fall from the cloud above his head, but it’s HARD to keep calm when Binx touches him.
Her fingers are calloused from all the tinkering, and yet her touch is SOFT, and Andhera nearly shivers, knowing that there’s years of affection they haven’t received trying to claw their way to the surface and make their claim.
He feels the lighting flash above them, his cheeks turning a darker shade of color as he fights the urge to pull his hands away. It’s not until he does feel the faintest of raindrops fall down onto them both that he sighs, shaking his head. “I’m sorry, I didn’t...sorry. That feels GOOD.”
“ i’m gonna marry you one day. ” - ( Vex ) @willowdied
Percy glances up to meet her eyes, and he’d be lying if he said he hadn’t THOUGHT about it. Somehow he’d always pictures a big wedding, with all their friends and guests, and a grand proposal, but maybe that’s not what it has to be. Maybe that’s not what he wants it to be anyway. Not now at least.
It’s been just Vex and him for a while now, and MAYBE that’s not such a bad idea after all. “Why don’t we do it now?” He feels his lips curving into a smile as he reaches out, resting his hand on top of hers.
“I know a priest. Well. Several, but one that’s always available. Just you and me,” Percy feel his heart flutter in his chest. “Vex’ahlia, would you MARRY me?”
“alright, so, this one’s a biter,” imogen explains as she guides laudna toward a beautiful, gold palomino horse. “the trick is that you show him your hands first. he’ll see you’ve brought treats,” she brandishes the big chunks of apple in her own hands for emphasis. “an’ hopefully that’ll keep him from bitin’ you. he likes when you sweet talk him, too,” she grins and shakes her head. “just like a boy, ain’t he? hey, handsome,” her tone shifts as she addresses the stallion, her hands on full display. the horse in question snorts, flaring his nostrils, and flicks his tail. “go on, @willowdied. you’ve got this.”
