CLOSED STARTER for @caroliincs

zara had taken her best friend out on a day to the town centre in order to look at baby clothes and just spend some quality time together which seemed to decrease more and more since her work was drastically increasing. “i feel like all of these clothes are adorable but i don’t want to buy too much. they grow up way too fast. maybe i should buy a few clothes in a bigger size so she can grow into it?”

CLOSED STARTER for @mcrdices

it had been a long time since the two of them had met up-- probably a few weeks or even months. after all, they had never been as close as she was with caroline, for example. there was never too much to catch up on but every time they did meet, zara felt like she was little again. “hey,” the brunette exhaled once the male opened the door for her, pulling him into a short embrace which was interrupted by the bump inbetween the pair. “i brought you some cupcakes.” zara smiled widely as she invited herself in.

[zarawards]

☁️ + family

“everything.”

[zarawards]

   “ anything, if i get to steal the baby once they’re born – also hey, do you know the gender yet ?? ” she asked curiously, looking at her best friend. “ still, won’t stop me from helping out. you should know you can come to me anytime, for any reason. ” she gave the other a smile, squeezing her arm gently and reassuringly. “ you’re lucky for that - you can literally lay around all day and still be working. ”

“sometimes it’s lucky, sometimes it isn’t. i’d love to have my home as .. a home. when i finish work it’s never liked i’m actually done because i can always see my laptop and i always know there is something else i can do because work never truly stops when you work from home.” zara explained, sighing, though her lips curled into a smile shortly after. “it’s a girl. i don’t have a name yet, though.”

Send me ☁️ + a word and my muse will tell you the first thing that comes to mind when they hear that word

[zarawards]

       a grin found it’s way to her lips the moment lily heard her daughter’s voice, the warlock returning the hug before stepping aside to let her in. “you’re an angel, honestly. i’m starved,” she mused, casting a quick glance to the playpen she’d finally gotten rain down for a nap in before following zara into the kitchen. “it’s fine, ma choupinette - we all get busy from time to time. you can make it up to me by filling me in on everything i’ve missed since we last spoke.”

zara laughed lightly, her gaze absent-mindedly wandering over the playpen which then made her frown slightly. “actually, i didn’t just come here to chat but to bring you .. news. whether those are exciting or horrible is for you to judge.” the brunette sighed as she sat down on a wooden chair, resting a hand on her stomach. “i’m expecting.”

[zarawards]

    “ it’s okay i – i get it. it’s not easy. ” she said, easily feeling emphaty towards her best friend. had she been in zara’s situation… she might not be as calm. “ i know you can. you’re one of the strongest people i’ve ever met. you got this, zara. ” she said before giving her a small, reassuring smile as her hands gently landed on her arms, squeezing a bit. “ i’m here to support you with anything i can, alright ? i’ll even babysit and clean poop for you. ” she made a light joke, chuckling a bit. “ you got me, okay ? ”

a soft laugh escaped her lips. “thank you-- i didn’t expect any less from you.” the brunette smiled as she nodded to go along with her words. “i won’t need that much help. i can ask mom and since i work from home, i won’t even need maternity leave. it would have been a lot more drastic if this happened ten years ago.”

[zarawards]

“ LISTEN. Focus. Concentrate. You’re behaving as though this were the first time you’ve ever done this. ” His stern tone is meant to be encouraging, even if it didn’t SEEM like it. “ Now. AGAIN. Like you mean it. ”

[zarawards]

zara didn’t mean to interrupt the scene, so she just stood there awkwardly with a bag from babies r us in hand. “sorry-- i didn’t mean to eavesdrop like that.” the brunette mundane let out a nervous laughter.

[zarawards]

    when zara told her that the reason she wanted to meet was that she was meaning to talk to her about something which was most likely tied to her getting so tired easily caroline felt her heart skip a beat. a thousand thoughts per second running in her mind, the girl feared the worst – what if she was sick ? what if she had cancer or something ?? now her heart was beating like crazy, a sense of dread heaving her chest. she eventually managed to lower herself onto the spot next to zara, big blue eyes focused on her best friend’s face with fear in them. but as she spoke, the fear changed into shock and her lips parted in surprise, eyebrows raised now. “ zara - ” she mumbled, almost telling her not to fuck with her, but the look on her face… oh, she knew zara wasn’t joking. caroline instinctively looked down at her stomach, a heavy breath escaping her lips. “ oh dear… ” she mumbled as she wrapped her arms around the other female gently, giving her a warm hug, unable to say anything else for the moment.

“i’m sorry, i should have told you sooner.” zara looked at her best friend, putting on a semi-forced smile as she hugged her back. “it’s .. it’s a lot. but i think i can do it. i have a job, a stable income .. i can provide for her.” the brunette said with a stern look on her face after she broke the embrace. “as long as you’re open to babysit every now and then.” she finally laughed. “no, but for real, please. i still want to go out sometimes.”

[caroliincs]

@zarawards !!

     “ hey, ” caroline mumbled, looking at her best friend who was sitting on the bench next to her after requesting they take a break from walking even though they hadn’t been walking for too long. “ you wouldn’t get this tired so easily… zara - is there something wrong ? ”

[zarawards]

zara was exhausted. so exhausted that she couldn’t even go on for long and had to sit down to take a break from the walk multiple times. “it’s-- actually, that’s why i wanted to meet up with you in the first place.” the brunette sighed and patted the seat on the bench next to her. ever so often she had imagined what it would be like to tell somebody -- especially caroline. but now that the moment was so near she could grasp it, the brunette suddenly sensed fear. she was scared of how her best friend would react and that this would change the way caroline saw her. zara had kept it a secret for way too long and only wore lose clothing-- most of the time she felt homeless but the desire to hide her pregnancy was bigger than her desire to feel pretty and feminine. “i’m seven months pregnant.” she suddenly blurted out, followed by a quiet sigh. “it’s jake’s-- that’s for sure. i just couldn’t really accept the fact after his death-- i found out afterwards. while it was overwhelming, at least i’ll always have a part of him with me.” zara smiled weakly-- after all, it still hurt immensely.

[zarawards]

she probably didn’t have to say anything – instead she gave the girl a thumbs up as a means of everything being more than alright. after all, awkward human interaction was kind of anita’s specialty, and she didn’t have it in her to blame the other for thinking she was talking directly to her, especially if she was busying herself with working on her computer, “well, then i am glad i could be of service – there’s only hope i end up being a good enough distraction, right?” she’d eventually joke, scrunching her nose up before she nodded her head in the direction of the register, “i’ll see you in a minute, then!”

one ceasar salad and a bottled water later, anita skipped towards the empty chair and took a seat, once more sending a grateful smile the stranger’s way, “i swear, i’ve never seen this place being so busy. i mean, it’s definitely good for the business, but – like, were you even able to focus on doing… whatever you were doing in this semi-controlled chaos?” she figured she’d ask, “that is, for sure, impressive, if i do say so myself.”

“i’m here like all day every single day. you wouldn’t even believe the state i have seen this place in.” a chuckle escaped her pink lips. “i just don’t like to work in silence. i get distracted easily because it’s very hard to not get lost in your own thoughts when there’s no noise at all. it’s also hard to not fall asleep in a quiet, dimply lit bedroom. so i come here to work.” zara smiled lightly. “it’s really not all that impressive.”

[zarawards]

“— i mean… if you understand polish and you also happen to be my mother who’s suddenly gotten like, thirty-something years younger, then i think so?” anita quipped, taking the earbud out almost immediately once she hung up on the call with the aforementioned person. it was the usual, weekly catch-up session, nothing of importance, really. having lived so far away, the shadowhunter was surprised that they’re still managing to be in contact so often, “but… now that i’ve got your attention – do you mind if i come back here and sit down after i’ve ordered my stuff?”

zara blushed slightly when she realized the woman wasn’t exactly talking to her but to somebody else. “oh, i’m very sorry--” the girl stuttered with an awkward laugh which turned into a genuine smile at the other’s question. “sure, i wouldn’t mind at all. anything that doesn’t look like my computer screen is an amazing option right now.”

[zarawards]

“Thanks.” He set his sandwich down and plopped into the seat. “Oh no you’re working, I’ll be quiet. Can’t help much unless you also teach self defense to a bunch of hyperactive children.” Children who all had nephilim strength… 

“unfortunately, i do not. i’m not that good with children.” zara sighed, absent-mindedly placing a hand on her still very small baby bump. “if you want to talk, you can though. i’m great at multitasking, really. plus i always enjoy the good company of a stranger.”
