exactly! maybe the little terror gene will skip my kids and go straight to my brothers kids. it's what he deserves for being a pain in my ass for so long. i can understand that. i feel like modeling is much harder to get work, especially after a certain point because the standards that have been set for us, especially women, they feel like a woman can't still be sexy once she turns thirty. that's why i'm so thankful the little bit of modeling i do is for work related photoshoots. i don't think i could cut it in that side of the business long term. that is understandable. hopefully you both can make it, and if not i will carry you both with me in spirit. oh definitely, i think at this point they come as a packaged deal. i've heard that i have a whole heap of people i have to battle for that spot, but i'm fully prepared to duke it out. regardless if you sound like your mum, it's sound advice. i actually have been letting life just happen, and i think it finally threw me a bone— a whole bag of them actually. i think that's a fair deal. i love the way you look at it though. it is just a piece of paper, and it has no real substance to the love that you have for your partner.
that is absolutely right! they will be your little terrors and nobody else could call them little terrors but you because you had to birth them and raise them. haha but i seriously couldn't see you having anything close to a nightmare of a child. you're far too sweet for that. oh most definitely! i feel like it keeps you on your toes. i had a similar situation with modeling. especially after i stepped back from Victoria's Secret. i haven't really had a loss for work but there was a brief period where i wasn't sure of where it was going to come from, especially after i had Elijah. i hide my bumps pretty well but it does get pretty hard to do some of these shoots when you're six to eight months pregnant and about to pop. oh most definitely! if we can, we definitely will be there. i'm sure he'll make the time regardless. i just have to be in NYC a good nine point nine tenths of the time because i've got the boys and i can't just up and move out to Los Angeles. he has been the greatest discovery of 2025 yet. well, him and this little one. but i can kind of lump those two together, right? makes sense? i wouldn't have one without the other. you and Lucy are definitely going to be rivaling at that one. she's already trying to make arrangements to camp out at my place in NYC and feel all up on the little slice. i completely understand you there. but i definitely recommend just going with the flow of things and letting it happen when it happens. don't let time get in your way of doing the things that make you happy just on your own while you are still young. good lord i'm talking like my mother now. i'll make you a deal. how about we all focus on the slice for now and once they're born we can then start obsessing over the engagement ring. i hope he doesn't think that is going to be necessary before i have this little one. because there is absolutely no rush in that from me. i'd be just fine if we never got married. it's just a piece of paper at this point. it doesn't really prove how much love two people have for each other. that can't be shown on paper.
alycia: i am a terrible friend. it took me 84 years to finally watch the boys, but oh my god you are so hot as a super hero? can i even put you into the category of a superhero? anti-hero? either way, you are hot. i'm proud of you. keep killin' it. @jeackls
ahhh! you have a whole eight more months to learn and grow with your little bean. i love that for you, ollie. i'm so happy for you both. of course i have to do that. my brother won't have kids so this is the next best thing. i want to be in the running for the coolest aunt.
she is a month along, if i remember correctly. and she is as beautiful as ever if not more so. so we have some time to prepare but i feel this will go by in no time. you know that you don't have do that, right? we appreciate it for sure but you don't have too.
right? i remember when buying tickets was so easy. the only struggle you had was getting to the will call station before they ran out of tickets. now you have to wait in some stupid queue, and if you have shitty internet? you are toast. i wish artist had more power as well. i feel like it's one of those things they should be in control of, or at least those who help put the tour together. would make life so much easier for everyone. i would love to go! just tell me where you will be and i'd love to go. isn't she? the world wasn't ready for her, but i am so glad we got her. i bet that was a dream to perform with them. my dad is a musician and his music has always had a heavy metallica influence, so he's super excited.
It was very different in my concert-going days. I mostly just stood in line at a physical ticket office for hours, even overnight, which I guess some people are still doing some version of for the pit but mostly fighting that war online. It does suck, and believe me when I say that artists wish they had more power. Thank you so much! I hope to see you there? I have a few tickets set aside for anyone who missed out, or who just didn't think they'd get a chance to go. Sabrina is incredible, isn't she? Haven't seen her in concert but have at an award show and she is something special. Oh, wow, you should be excited. I performed with them at the Grammy's one year and they're an elite talent. Enjoy, lovely! Both of you!
i don't think you ever have to worry about that. you have always made me feel like a queen when i'm with you, and that's not something i take for granted. after being around so many terrible people who have treated me like shit and like a last option, you've reminded me that there are still decent human beings in the world. i wouldn't care if you showed up in a plastic bag. you look good in everything— or nothing at all. i would be a terrible hype woman if i didn't have confidence in all that you do. it helps that i haven't found a single thing you weren't capable of doing. you are magnificent in so many ways. stop— i love your ears. very nibble worthy. i've been lying to myself for so long about how i felt about you. i felt exactly how you did about our friendship, i would have rather had you as just a friend than not at all, and i see now that i've been depriving myself of happiness. you have always been the person i run to when i'm happy or get good news, but you are also the first person i want to run to when i need comfort. you have, and will always be my person, and i want nothing more than to be with you too. i sit back and i try and envision what my future looks like, and all i see is you, and it's beautiful.
I'll never mind when you wake me up, darling, and it won't matter what time it is either. Plus, I always think it's cute when you do it. I'm glad you feel the most spoiled with me, that's how I want you to feel always when you're with me. I love putting you first in every situation, though, because that's what you deserve. I can't imagine doing anything else, you know? I'm also glad to hear that, and I'll make sure I dress to the nines that night just for you, darling. I'm always going to be your biggest support system, that's something that will never change. Look at you saying things that you know will make me blush, love, but thank you. Your confidence in my abilities makes me feel on top of the world, I hope you know that. I had a feeling you'd say I was an elven king, though, and you're welcome to call me baby more often if you'd like, I like that. It's funny, because I've always hated my ears, so I'm laughing a little at the idea of me having pointy ones. I love you too, you know that, and I'm very thankful to have you as my best friend, darling. I wouldn't know what I'd do without you. Plus, it means the world that you take care of me like you do, especially when sometimes I'm not the best at taking care of myself. It's really not out of my reach? I just don't want to ruin our friendship, you know that. I mean, I guess someone would say we probably ruined it a little by sleeping together like we do, but you know what I mean. I want to be with you, though, if that wasn't obvious, and I'm tired of acting like I don't or keeping you at arm's length.
you say that now. i'd happily give you time with my brother, because after a full day with his shenanigans you'd be begging to give him back. he drives me absolutely banana's most of the time, but i love him to the moon and back. i give you kudos for being able to grind in that career field. my self esteem would have been shattered. i have always been more on the curvy side. i've slimmed out a lot since i started doing pilates, but i still lean towards the more curvier side. people used to pick my body apart, but i don't dabble in gossip much and i try and avoid hearing all those things about me, so it's kept me at peace pretty much. do you plan to jump right back into work after having your little bean? or do you want to take some time off, like extended time off to be with your family? ahh, there is no need for actual fights. the little bean will have so much love surrounding them, no matter who it's from. i'll be honest i still want a big wedding. i've never been married before, so i hope that if the moment comes someday i'd love to have a big wedding. my dad is getting up in age and i know he'd love to walk his only daughter down the aisle.
i've got my fingers crossed for you! i won't lie, i wish i had had a brother sometimes. my parents only had the four girls. and i'm sure the four of us just drove our father absolutely nuts. modeling is a bit of a toss into the pond of luck. you're absolutely right, we have some of the most unrealistic standards to live up to. i lucked out if you ask me with those standards, i have always been tall and my metabolism is super fast. which works out well for the modeling career but terrible when it comes to gaining weight. which does sometimes comes as a complication with pregnancies. but it also means that i can jump right back into work almost instantly after having my little ones. you're absolutely gorgeous, though, and i'm sure you'd do just fine if you wanted to take the jump from actor to model. that they definitely do. i didn't think that i was ever going to find anyone again after Josh and now not only have i found Oliver but i have this little one to prove just how much love i was going to find. well, if i'm being honest, i think you only really have to fight with Luce, only because she's been my best friend for as long as i can remember. but i will be one hundred percent with you, darling. you don't have to get anything for me and the slice. just love, they're going to want all of it. that is so great for you, sweetie! i am so happy to hear that! it's less important to have a piece of paper than it is to have the love that you share. i found that out the hard way. don't get me wrong, i used to be the girl who always wanted to have the big wedding and enjoy marriage. but as i have gotten older and been divorced i now care so much less about it and all i want is love.
alycia: i've been the worst not checking in, but i wanted to see how you and the family were doing? i bet that little bundle of joy you have is growing like a weed. how have you been? catch me up on everything. @luhmmings
alycia had gotten lost in a state of bliss. since their return from prague to the uk, she had been riding the high of her new found relationship with jamie. a part of her had always hoped they'd end up together. any sort of future she had ever seen for herself involved him, but he had always been out of reach. she never thought she'd be here, standing on the balcony of their suite over looking a city they were going to call home for the time being. she had fully prepared to spend her break from work alone with her thoughts, but this was a better alternative.
alycia had gotten lost in the views of the city from where she stood. there was something so authentic and beautiful about the UK, and she could have gotten lost in the views until her attention was pulled elsewhere. a sense of comfort took over as soon as she felt the embrace of familiar arms around her waist, the hair on the back of her neck standing at full attention when his lips made contact with her skin. he had her so easily wrapped around his finger. "hmm..." there was a playful tone to her voice as she pretended to give some thought to what activities they could do that day. "a stroll through the city does sound tempting, but the idea of spending the whole day in bed with you sounds a lot more tempting." she turned until her back was against the railing, both of her hands settled on his chest as she leaned her entire frame into his. "what do you want to do? a stroll through the city or me?" she teased.
Jamie would admit that it felt a little surreal to him that he and Alycia were now officially a couple, something that he'd wanted to happen for a while but he never thought would. The fact that she had the same feelings for him that he had for her made him feel like he was on top of the world, and there was a part of him that couldn't help but feel a little sad he hadn't said something sooner. They could have been together for a while now had he just gotten the nerve to put himself out there, to tell her what he was feeling. But that didn't matter now, they were together, and Jamie was going to enjoy every second of it, but he was also going to make sure to make up for lost time, because he wanted to spoil her as her boyfriend, not just her best friend.
They had left Prague after his convention was over, and they were now in the UK, and while he was getting prepared for filming, he still wanted to make sure to make time for him and Alycia to do things together. Even though she had told him that she would be happy staying in the small hotel room with him that the studio had booked, he'd still managed to talk the studio into giving him a little bit of an upgrade and at least getting a suite for them so they had a little more room together. It was a gorgeous room, and Jamie felt pretty lucky that it had a lovely balcony, which was where Alycia was right now, and Jamie couldn't help but smile as he watched her from the room. She was so beautiful, and he couldn't help but feel a little giddy in that moment that she was his.
Walking out to the balcony, Jamie approached Alycia and wrapped his arms around her from behind and dipped his head down to press a kiss against her neck. He looked at the view for a moment, wondering what she'd been watching before he'd gotten there, before speaking. "So, how do you want to spend the day today? I have the whole day to focus on you. Do you want to go explore the city for a little while? Maybe find another haunted adventure? Or do you want to stay in the hotel for a while and go back to bed?" He asked the last part in a more teasing tone than anything, but had she picked going back to bed, Jamie would be all for that, of course, because he couldn't get enough of Alycia, and he was pretty sure she knew that. @alyvas
alycia: the realest. you act like i live in australia full time. 🤣 but yes i did have to run off to europe. i had a special friend waiting on me, and the vacation was very much needed. gonna have to respectfully decline that facetime request. i'm sorry.. alycia: how is the little one doing? i know it must be difficult dealing with that chaotic toddler stage. i bet she has you wrapped around her tiny little finger.
abel: are you for real? damn you really had to run in europe as if australia wasn't far enough. I take facetime request, tho abel: and hey, I appreciate the hype. Truth is, half the time I am dead to the world—just with a toddler climbing on my back like I’m her personal jungle gym. But it’s worth it. She’s the boss now, I just follow orders y'know.
thank you! i am beyond excited about it. i grew up watching godzilla with my dad, so to be part of it now is such a huge thing for me. i have never done anything monsterverse related, so this is going to be quite the experience. 2027 does seem so far away, but i know it's going to take about that long to perfect the whole thing. you can't have a film with amazing visual effects like that and have it done in a year or less. that's terrible to hear, i'm so sorry. i don't know why fans have resorted to such violence lately. it's like they were raised with no manners. you are there to put on a show and everyone wants to have good, clean fun. they don't want to be pushed and shoved around. hopefully you and the rest of the group can revisit at a later date and things go a little bit better.
That's amazing to hear! That sounds like such a cool project to be involved in, and I know that it's going to make quite a bit of money when it does release. 2027 feels like forever away, but I know it takes a lot of time to perfect things and be to everyone's liking. I've been touring with my group as of late, but we're kinda running into a little bit of trouble with certain fans, unfortunately. I was hoping our 2025 would be better, but we just did a show in Peru where I had to walk off the stage and encourage the rest of the boys to do it as well. People in the audience were pushing, shoving and getting hurt but wouldn't listen to us when we were telling them to relax and chill out. I feel guilty for doing it, but I had no other choice, you know?
