For shade –> Darren pulled into the driveway of his house. It felt like forever since he had been here. He felt a rush of memories. His dad, his life, all of the insane things that had taken place here, but suddenly, all that he could think about was her. He ran into the house and dropped his bags. "Lillian?" His voice was fragile, tired. He was happy to be home again, not in the house but in the presence of her.
Sorry if I'm rusty just let me get back into it.
For Jacks –> Ryan's eyes opened and all at once he jumped out of bed, panting. He was panicking, he couldn't breathe. "Belle!" he screamed. His voice showed his fear. "Belle, where am I?" He didn't recognize his surroundings despite being in the bedroom of the house he and Belle took residence in. "Please help me," his voice became instantly weary as he sunk to the floor and pushed himself into a corner. He sobbed, his cheek resting against the cold wall. "Belle…" He whispered.
(You're fine!)
Lillian had been alone, oh so alone. She had been grateful that she could still stay at Darren's house considering her own house no longer felt like home. This house didn't feel like home either, not without him. Her eyes started to tear up and she instinctively curled in on herself as she thought about him only to hear the door open. She paid no mind initially until she heard her name called. Her head whipped towards the door tears still in her eyes as she saw Darren standing in the door. Her voice sounded just as broke, "Darren? Is… Is it really you?"
(I've gotta get back into character for her, this feels so freaking weird)
Belle had been startled awake when he started yelling, throwing herself out of bed and to the corner to crouch in front of him. She gently placed her hand on his cheek. "Ryan, sugar, you're home. You're home here with me. Breathe, sugar. Breathe. You're okay."
sorry I went to lunch… hi
I was starving to death
(You're fine!)

He ran to her. His heart was racing as he wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up off the floor. "I'm home," he confirmed. His eyes welled up with tears, "I'm home,"

Belle had been startled awake when he started yelling, throwing herself out of bed and to the corner to crouch in front of him. She gently placed her hand on his cheek. "Ryan, sugar, you're home. You're home here with me. Breathe, sugar. Breathe. You're okay."
His eyes had been glowing a bright blue, a sign that that wolf inside of him was restless but, when he looked up into Belle's eyes, they dimmed. He began to calm down, his breathing slowed. "Belle," he responded breathlessly. His eyes scanned her, it felt like ages since he had seen her. His eyes stopped at her belly. "You're pregnant," he said that almost as if he was reminding himself.
She couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, yes I am. I'm Belle. Your wife. Who loves you very much. And is listing obvious facts because apparently that's what we're doing."
Ryan chuckled even through is tears. "Sorry I woke you up. I had this dream and…" he paused, "I don't know, it was a lot. I just thought I lost you," He wrapped his arms around her.
"Aww, sugar. You never have to worry about losing me. I'll always be right by your side." She squeezed him in her arms.
"I know but he convinced me it was real," Lately, the wolf half of Ryan had been incredibly difficult to control. He was blood thirsty and cunning. Ryan felt like he was going insane.
"Is Convel really getting that out of control? That could be a problem." She chewed on her lip with a frown.
"He's fighting me, I don't know why. It's possible he needs a rebreaking…" Ryan frowned too. The rebreaking didn't go well last time. It helped Ryan remain human but he was terrified of hurting Belle and this time, he had his children to think about as well as his wife. "I'll figure it out, I promise it'll be okay. It's not as bad as it seems," It was worse than it seemed and he could not guarantee it would be okay but he couldn't have her be this stressed while she was pregnant.
(Stop giving me bad ideas)
She groaned. "Not again! Remember what happened the last time we had to go through that?" She shook her head with a sigh. "If that's what it'll take then fine."
"I don't know. It'll be okay. I don't want to focus on it until it becomes an issue." It was already an issue…
"Sugar, I love you, but I have a hunch that it already is an issue."
"It's not one worth concerning ourselves with for the moment." He smiled gently and wiped his tears while rising to his feet. He stretched a hand out to her as an offer to help her up.
She took his hand gratefully and pulled herself to her feet. "Well, back to your regularly scheduled programming, I guess."
(You're fine!)

Lillian felt the tears start to slip down her cheeks as she held onto him for fear that he would disappear. She buried her head against him as she let out a little sob, "You're here. You're really here. Fuck. I thought I lost you."
"Do we actually have plans for today?" his tone was joking but he really couldn't think of anything they had planned.
(When is this womans due date?)
(I don't even fucking know. We never plan dates here. See Belle and Ryan's wedding that we postponed for like 5 months)
"Hmm, not that I can remember. But the universe loves to fuck us over so I'm sure it'll think of something."

"I know, I'm sorry," he knew his leaving would hurt her but he had no choice. He hoped she understood that, "I'm back now, I'm not going anywhere,"
(I don't even fucking know. We never plan dates here. See Belle and Ryan's wedding that we postponed for like 5 months)
"Hmm, not that I can remember. But the universe loves to fuck us over so I'm sure it'll think of something."
(touche. Now I've waited like 2 years tho lol)
"That's a good point," He began walking downstairs, "Let's start with the basics then. What do you want for breakfast?"
"You better not," Lillian forced a laugh out. She was a mix of emotions at the moment, happy, angry, sad, but overall thankful that he was back with her, "I, I don't think I could handle you leaving again."

(We can make it today if you feel like starting off with a bang)
"Ooo, pancakes. I have no idea why, I'm just really craving some pancakes."
(Fine by me)
"Pancakes it is," he took to kitchen. He could hear Convel in the back of his mind fighting for dominance. Ryan fought through it, he just wanted a normal day.
(Well, do we want to take care of Convel first or nah?)
Belle slid into the dining room, taking a seat as soon as she could. "Gravity's a bitch when you're pregnant."
"You better not," Lillian forced a laugh out. She was a mix of emotions at the moment, happy, angry, sad, but overall thankful that he was back with her, "I, I don't think I could handle you leaving again."
(what were the demons names? I can't remember? Balthzar? and what was Coops?)
"I'm here. We're safe," He had gone with Cooper, as princes of the underworld, they had business to see to.
