I smile softly at him. "I know." I look up at the stars and sip my drink.

I shake my head. "Don't. I know you don't mean you're at fault...but I really hate when people start apologizing cause either they don't know what to say or they feel some kind of secondhand guilt or worse sympathy and pity." I kiss along his jaw. "You being next me is everything I need from you."

"Nothing. I'm just jumpy like after watching a good horror movie." I pour another glass of wine, filling it completely this time.

"Oh. I know." I sigh softly and continue watching the pool while sipping on my wine. I blink once when I see a shadow move across the water. I shake my head and down the rest of the glass then look around subtly. -everything is making you paranoid, woman-

I move my head to his shoulder. "You know I love you, right?"

"Well, don't like when people see me like that." I take another drink. My eyes darting to the woods, when I hear movement. I shake my head and look back at the water. I slowly sip my wine again.

I snort. "If only." I rub his leg as I turn somewhat to face my body towards him, still watching the lights. I take a slow sip and whisper, "Don't tell anyone, but I'm kind of scared."

I take a slow sip and stare over the pool, watching the fairy lights dancing across it. I lay my head against the back of the couch. "Papa says there's more dangerous things...did he mean were-wolves...shifters...and things of that sort?" I take another sip from my glass.

-- Thursday Night -- After I get the babies in their cribs and called Krissie to make sure she'll be here to watch the littles for the weekend, I send my older kids to bed or at least tell them it's time. Settling outside, I pour myself a class of wine. I whisper, "Mama...why'd you hide this?"+

I nod. "Smart man." I quietly say, before I turn and wrap my arms around JT. "Let's get some sleep."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 6h

I take slow breath. "Okay...okay. so not going crazy." I crawl further onto the bed.

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 9h

I wrap a towel around me and walk back into the room. Quickly, I get ready for bed again then walk over to my bed and run my fingers through JT's hair.

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 9h

I softly kiss JT's cheek. "We'll figure this out." I move into the bathroom and strip then step into the shower myself.

When I finally finish cleaning, I put away the cleaning supplies and head upstairs. -now I need a shower-

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 9h

I nod and continue to clean the mess up.

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 19h

I softly say. "I just.. I need get this cleaned up... Then maybe check things out....maybe."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 19h

"Baby, I'm already rewriting my idea of reality..this is..." I shake my head and focus on the floor. -please don't stain. Please don't stain.-

"He said he turned into a tiger." I almost laugh.

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 20h

I shake my head. "I don't know... I heard a lot sound and found JT lying here, perfectly fine..except maybe his mind is going."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 20h

I grab the cleaning supplies and get to work. I curse quietly in Italian as I work and try to make sense of what could have happened in my head.

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 20h

"You shower. I'm gonna go clean the floor." I say before tossing my dress and heading into the bedroom. I slip on sweats and a t-shirt before I head back downstairs to clean. -turned into a tiger? okay...so one of my husbands has lost their minds and we haven't got to the island-+

Once he's in the shower, I toss his clothes. "I'd say...but baby, people don't turn into tigers."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 20h

"And you didn't drink?" I ask, half joking. I lead him to our room then into the bathroom quickly. I start to undress him.

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 21h

I nod slowly. -A Tiger?- I straighten up when I find nothing. "Okay. Okay... Let's get you and this cleaned up before the kids see it or it stains my floor." I hold out my hands. "Come on, Baby."

I hear loud noises down stairs after putting the babies to bed. Running down them, I stop on a dime when I see my doors wide open and JT is a puddle of blood. I rush over to him and start checking him for injuries. "What the hell happened?"

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 22h

I laugh and shake my head as I pick up my plate before I head inside.

I snort. "Careful handsome that's when she was with you too." Tilly and Rosie giggle.

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 22h

Rosie says, "Not to be rude to your mothers but money and the fake charm is my guess."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 23h

"Oh, he's a massive sweetheart." Rosie giggles. "Most everyone loves him." Tilly snorts. "Like how she said most."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 23h

I laugh. "The man chose to be a surgeon." Rosie snorts. "And he'd choose to have you as a twin so don't know if I'd call it stress for him...at least not as bad as people think."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 23h

I hum. "I don't know cause I'm still really unsure what the hell this is..." "Like we know we're related but that's clearly not everything this person wanted us to find." Rosie finishes for me. Tilly nods slowly.

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I snort quietly. "It's true." Emmett says, "we'll both be coming since we already have things settled at home anyway." "And we'd go crazy in hotel room." Theo says.

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Jace smiles. "And I can spend time at the cabin."

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

// Oo this sounds like fun. @gremlintrouble.bsky.social (my writing partner) were thinking of doing something spooky season theme.

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Rosie laughs a bit. Jace shakes his head. "I'll come, so Eric can find a dumb reason to even be irritated no one told him." "Or you can call Chai. And he and Jace can swap cause Chai actually likes the island." I say.

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I snort. Jace lays his chin on Matty's shoulder. "I'll come with. cause Roman isn't a fan of the island."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I sit back on his lap. "Does that mean you're all coming with?" "I think that means at least six of them are." Rosie giggles. Tilly snorts. "Well I didn't think we'd just be us girls."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I snort. "We could do your birthday early just in case."

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

"The couple days would give me a chance to call people for the kids more long term." Tilly says. "The café too." Katie says, "I can go down and help."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Tilly chews the inside of her cheek. "Honestly, we should go during a weekend maybe? So we're ready and not rushing?" I softly say.

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I nod. "And I am pretty Dad's island is the only island with a gate on the island..."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I narrow my eyes and then pass the image to JT before getting up and going to lean over Matty and pointing to behind the blonde woman. "Is that a garden arch?" Rosie looks closely at picture. It's hard to tell with the blur to the background... But there seems to be a gate.

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I nod. "It has to be one our old islands too..." I quietly say. "So not the one we use for vacation."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Tilly and Rosie both snort. "I like her. She's really smart." I sip the lemonade I stole from the fridge and hum. "But there's like a zillion of those."

100

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

"The older of us have adopted kids." I say. "Anyway get on with the reading before we're over ran by a dinosaur."

Arianna Briar --- Roleplay @holytemptations.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I chuckle. "I can't help that I mimic accents really well then get caught in them." Rosie laughs a bit. "I'm surprised - nevermind here they come." Katie and Griffen lay on the ground nearby. "My eldest biologically mine girls...I have mostly boys." Rosie says. The girls wave at us.+
