#jessica saying it as it is

Normally I don’t post celebrities Instagrams but I think this is noteworthy.

Happy birthday, @my-light-into-the-darkness!

I just realised that the rest of the world doesn’t know about one of my favourite New Year’s Eve in Germany things:

Angela Merkel getting out her shiny blazers for her speech.

They’re only for New Year’s Eve. The shiny Merkel is very rare and can only be spotted on the 31st of December.

Stranger Things (2016)

You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece

I’m going to miss you.

Saturday Morning

Have some OQ angst, but with a happy ending! Robin feels like something is missing from their relationship. Set in whatever universe you want it to be set in.

Regina Mills loves Saturday mornings. She loves the cuddles she receives every time while the promising sun filters in through the window or the heavy rain knocks against it.

So, naturally, Regina’s in a happy mood when she wakes, until she notes the absence of one particular and very important thing… or rather person, Robin. The sun is shining, the bed cozy and there’s only a slight ache in her back today, but her sweet boyfriend is nowhere to be found. At least he’s not in their bedroom, where he should be in her opinion.

She’s about to drag herself out of the bed, when she hears the familiar noise of a key being turned in the lock, followed by a soft click as it shuts. So he’s been out, she thinks, question is why? His footsteps get louder as he makes his way to her and slowly opens the door to their room. As soon as her eyes find his, a big smile crosses her features, while she pats the small space besides her. Robin obliges, though somewhat nervously. Why he would be nervous, she does not know. After he sits down her hand gets incased by his as he starts rubbing his thumb over the back of it and places his free hand on her rounded stomach.

“Where were you?”/”Regina…”, they start at the same time and pause again. Robin is the one to continue, when she gives an encouraging nod.

“Regina I’ve been out this morning, because I needed some time to think.”

“About what?”, she interrupts him with a frown.

“About us, our relationship, our family.”

Regina swallows the lump in her throat and nods again; that’s why he wasn’t here this morning and was so hesitant when he came back.

“When I woke up this morning, I just had this feeling something was missing” , he continues, “I thought about it before, multiple times actually, but never this much. I tried to do this on other occasions, but I should just act on those feeling now.”

That’s it, Regina thinks, he’s going to leave her, break up with her on what seemed to be a wonderful day. She tries to tell herself it’s all a nightmare, but deep down she knows he’ll be gone tomorrow and she’ll be six months pregnant and alone.

Her breathing is getting heavier by the second and she feels Robins thumb pressing into her hand a bit harder than before. It’s meant to comfort her, but it does quite the opposite as tears begin to form in her eyes and wet her cheeks.

She blinks a few times to clear her vision, then focuses on Robin again for the words she knows are about to leave his mouth.

He swallows heavily, lets out a forced chuckle and speaks to the floor rather than her when he says, “I thought this would be easier.”

Of course this is easy to him, not that hard to leave somebody like you, Regina, her mother’s voice echoes through her head, but then Robin is shifting, dropping to the floor on one of his knees and moves the hand on her belly away to grab something in his pocket.

“I know what’s missing, my love. I’m so happy with you and I’ll be even happier when our little girl arrives. I never want to be without you again. I want to tell the world, how lucky I am to have you as my wife. So, Regina Mills, will you marry me?”

And with that she is faced with a beautiful ring, a ring she has seen before, a ring that usually sits on his mothers left ring finger next to the matching wedding band, and that’s where he’s been, she thinks, letting more tears fall and beginning to sob as she throws herself into his arms.

She begins to calm, when Robin starts rubbing her back. His nose nuzzles into her hair as he questions, “So is that a yes?” Regina retreats herself a bit and lands a good punch on his chest.

“Of course that’s a yes, you idiot! I thought you were going to break up with me!”

A smile appears on his face, but falters immediately and gets replaced by pure horror as realization hits him.

“Oh god, I’m so sorry, Regina! I didn’t know how that must’ve sounded to you. I thought you were panicking, because you knew what I was about to do.”

“Well I was panicking”, she tells him, but sincerely adds, “though I had nothing to worry about.” Her head then nudges to his hand, before she asks “Am I allowed to try that one on?”

And as soon as the ring is placed upon her finger she’s falling into his arms again, sealing their engagement with a proper kiss.

Her fiancé goes in for more and she’s about to surrender, when her giggle breaks them apart.

“Your mother will cringe, when we tell her of this”, she tells him and watches as the panic sets in his eyes this time.

Can Marcel, Kol, Davina and Vincent have a spinoff show?

I’d watch that.

Davina Claire deserves better.
