Life Isn't Fair (open)

[Deleted]

Amelia pushed and pulled the stroller back and forth as she sat on the edge of the fountain and read the paper. Yvette seemed happy as a lark, and tired too. Amelia finished a paragraph and pulled the stroller a little closer so she could peek in. The sight brought a smile to her face. Innocent, sweet little Yvette. She was glad she was no longer carrying her – aka that she was born – not just because it had been trying, but she had heard that the mother’s emotions affected the baby too, and at least now she could simply let them out when Yvette was sleeping. Which she kind of needed to do right now, but work beckoned.

There was so much going on lately. One month she was happily engaged, then everything fell apart. She still wasn’t sure what happened. She went an entire month without hearing anything from Gabe. She tried finding him, but between work and the baby, there weren’t a whole lot of opportunities. So she tried Iris Messaging him. Nothing. Finally, in one of her emotional fits, she asked Felicity to come watch Yvette during her nap just a moment so she could write a detailed note and return the ring to his barrack bed. It had been awful. She still lived in fear of seeing him again. She still did love him, but… she needed him. Someone. Who was there. His long absence hurt, his silence more. Even now she wished to see him at the same time that she feared just that.

Work, she scolded herself. She returned her attention to the paper and examined what was going on in the hopes of finding something she could write about for the fashion article. Her job was suffering with her emotional state.

Notes: Nick missed her!

There were some things about being a Lar that Nicholas found... good. He didn't have to eat, not ever again. Even when he had adored food, he also had thought that eating was a waste of time when you really needed to train. Training was other thing he knew that he wouldn't do again, well, not the common training, maybe he would have to keep his soul trained, strong will and stuff like that but nothing that he couldn't manage. existing forever with the one that kept his soul there! the one that he loved more than his entire being! Yes, Life with kaylee had been great, and now death with her had been even better.

But also he hated someonther things, like not being able to hug those who he had loved in the past, like brother ad sister, like friends... He was a legacy of Venus and he missed the personal contact very much. Not Kaylee's, because both being Lars, then they could touch each other and hug as much as they wanted to. No, he was thiking about Remus, Kenshin, Charlie, Tessa, Zoe... Amelia. He thought about the daughter of Venus and scolded himself for not being for her for the past few months, but he had still been adjusting to that new life, but it was time for him to go and see her, look for his sister and check on her.

He mingled around in the city, he knew that she wouldn't be in Camp anymore, and also that she would be taking care of Yvette. He looked around and nothing he found. Then he looked around again and there she was, in the forum. He smiled and mingled there to where she was. "This is a good place to bring a legacy of Venus." He said and smiled at his sister, hoping she wouldn't hate him for being far from her for so long.

Lavender was nice. You know what else was nice? Infinity scarves. Those were all the rage in the mortal world, which meant they were also all the rage in her own wardrobe. Not that she was biased, but… that might be a good place to start. You know what else was fun? Floral prints. So how about floral print infinity scarves? Best of both worlds. Plus, pair it with a solid color top or dress and boom, perfect outfit. Now that she didn’t look like a balloon, she could think about these kind of things. Infinity scarves and a baby bump looked awful together in her book, because the poof of the scarf and the poof of the stomach combined to make you look even bigger. Now that she was trimming up again and using cream on those dread stretch marks, well, things were looking hopeful.

She scribbled on her paper something about floral infinity scarves. Now she just needed to hunt some down to recommend where to get them and that sort. She liked to think recommending businesses was a good thing, even though her reputation was still bad here so not many really liked here. She missed Robin; he’d stood by her side in all that, never gotten angry with her about it. Nick too. But both were dead. She took a deep breath to calm herself. Stop thinking about depressing stuff! she scolded herself. She glared at the paper as though it was its fault that she was sad. Yes, thank the gods moods were contagious or poor Yvette would be waking up from a bad dream and crying. As it was, she was in and out of sleep.

That was about when she heard a familiar voice. She looked up, wide eyed. “Nick!” She immediately covered her mouth and looked at Yvette, who thank goodness was sound asleep still. She looked back to Nick. “Oh my gods, it’s so good to see you. Come on, sit down. Tell me about everything that’s been going on lately. I saw you and Kaylee hanging out together the other day. Gods, you two are adorable. Fill me in on everything.”

Notes: aww amelia!! *hugs*

Nick couldn't help but smile at Amelia. He had some connections to other descendants of Mars and Venus, Tessa, Remus, but Amelia was maybe his favorite. Not because he didn't cared or loved about the others, however Amelia was the sweetest and in many ways she reminded him of his mother. If would had had the blessing of a sister, he knew she would had been like Amelia. So that was why she was his favorite. When she smiled in such way he smiled too because then he knew she wasn't upset at him for not being around for so long. "I'm glad to see you smile Amy"

He said and then when she covered her mouth and looked down to the stroller and saw the baby Yvette. She was a perfect creation. He still was amazed about how the women's body was capable to create a whole new human. "So, this is the baby princess, Yvette." He said in a low voice, being careful not to wake the baby up. He admired the beauty of the baby, much like her mother's. Then he looked at Amelia again and smiled. He had heard of how much she had suffered with the break up, he was glad she was strong enough to keep going.

When she asked him to sit down, he was about to tell her that he didn't need to do it, he wasn't ever physically tired or needed a seat, but he didn't want her to feel awkward about his not so new state. He moved and did as if he was sitting next to her. "Well... we are very happy. At least I am. I'm worried about her because it seems that in time of peace she feels she has no job here... but I want her to see that camp is our life and responsability now."

A bit of sadness in his voice, he feared that his kaylee could lose her purpose and if a Lar lost its purpose, then its mind started to miss reality, until it couldn't really recognize what was around them. It was sad, but even then, he would be with her.

"And you? Tell me about the job, about this angel... everything!" Smiled at her and resisted the urge to tuck a stray of hair behind her ear... he wouldn't be able to do that again.

Amelia set her notepad aside, figuring she’d focus on Nick. Or ask his advice maybe. He had good fashion sense too. His words made her feel all warm and fuzzy, corny as that sounded. Gods, how she missed him. She’d sewn a cloth rose to put on his grave marker when he died. It had been her first adventure in three dimensional sewing. So she thought it ought to be a gift for him. “It’s good to see you period. Thought smiling preferably. Oh, Nick, I missed you. I miss you every day.”

She looked down at the baby in the stroller and smiled at his words. “Yes. Isn’t she precious? I don’t care how much ill treatment I get, I will always treat her like the princess she is. She’s my pride and joy.” She looked back to him and offered he sit with her. It didn’t even occur to her that me might not need to. He was a lar now, but to her, he would always be her favorite brother. So of course she had to bother him for great life details. She smiled as she listened, until he got to the bad news about Kaylee losing faith or hope. She tapped her chin. “It may not help that specifically, but I do have an idea. Why don’t you take her on a special date? Like maybe one that would remind her of when you two met, those are adorable. Do something special. Remind her that even though she might feel lost, she always has you and that’s not changing. But I wouldn’t mention the responsibility thing on this date, okay? Just make her feel loved first and foremost. Then later you can talk about the responsibility part.”

She grinned at his question, then paused. “The job is going well, but actually, if you wouldn’t mind helping out with this article, maybe I could even make it about the lares and spotlight you! So then, it’s a fashion article. And I was going to do like… summer themed, but now I’m thinking getting you in on it.” She picked up the pad again. “As for Yvette, oh glory, she’s teething. I bought her like four teething toys, water filled things, you know? But she still chews on anything and everything. Like fingers. Or my side table.” She laughed. “Oh, hey, I met this new demigod outside camp, in the city. I was out for… well, you know, I always like to go out now and again for proper fashion choices, plus I found a baby store and they were having a clearance on spring things and I personally think flower headbands never go out of fashion, so I bought like three. Anyway, he was really sweet, trying to get to camp, so I helped him out. His name is Rodrigo. Said he has a sister here he’s looking for, so I hope he finds her. I also… kind of really hope I see him again.”
