When Jacqueline (Jax) Warren is in a serious motorcycle accident, firefighter Ryan Hudson is the first to arrive at the scene. Ryan takes a special interest in Jax, particularly when he discovers that her stepmother shows little interest in her. But Jax learned early in life that she can't rely on other people, and her six-year-old half-brother is the only person she cares about.

Ryan convinces her to celebrate Thanksgiving with him and his family, to show her that not all families are like the one she's known. When he presents her with an unexpected gift, she finally lets him into her life and her heart.

The Football Player's baby✔️ by princesstreatment

(Book two of the rollercoaster love series) Welcome to the continuation of Leia and Nick's story, a continuation of my take on the cliche (albeit awesome) football & cheerleader, best friend's brother, the boy next door, bad boy & good girl, a college love story. This cannot be read as a stand-alone so if you are interested in this story make sure to read the first book "The Football Player's Cheerleader" *"Don't do this," Nick pleaded. "I have to, i can't lose you Nick," i sobbed. "My dad left my mom when she found out she was pregnant." "I'm not your dad," Nick said. He grabbed my face in his hands. "Corazon, i love you and i will love our child." i fell to my knees. He dropped to his knees in front of me. "We can do this. We can raise this child." "I'm so scared." "I'm terrified," Nick said. "I'm terrified to be a dad but if it's with you, i feel like i can do it." he pressed a kiss to my forehead. He leaned his forehead against mine. "But Leia, if you really can't do this, i won't let you do this alone. I'll hold your hand and take care of you. But if any part of you believes we can do this, then let's get out of here and go home." "I want this," i whispered. "I want our baby."* Leia Evans and Nick Torres are now in college at the University of Kentucky with one of their best friend Dana Adams. In the first book, we saw their love bloom and come together, experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions. Now they are facing a whole new challenge that will truly define themselves as a couple. will they endure? or will it all be too much for them?

From Hatred to Chaos to Love by TheAuthorRay

I have to save your ass again?" "Oh, shut up, Torres." For as long as Alyssa Torres could remember, she and Kelly Severide had hated each other. Neither of them could really remember a time where they weren't at each other's throats. They couldn't agree on a single thing but occasionally - just occasionally, they could work together without wanting to kill each other. But they could never imagine not hating each other. But what happens when something that could change their entire relationship occurs? Will they still hate each other when everything is over? A/N: I only own Alyssa Torres, the members of Firehouse 90, Alyssa's family, and everyone else not in the One Chicago TV series.

"Talk to you about it?" I asked with a dark laugh. "it's not as easy as you make it sound," "Yes, Garret! Talking! You know what that is right? It's very easy! You just open your mouth and let the words that are in your head, come out of your mouth." "It's not that simple," I fought down emotions that were building up. "Yes, it is! See, i'm doing it right now!" "No-it's not!" "Yes!" "No!" "Yes! just talk, dang it!-" "You just expect it to be easy to talk about my dead parents?! About how guilty I feel for not visiting their grave for the past 11 years?! I didn't even realize how long it's been, I had pretty much forgotten about them for 11 years! Do you know what kind of guilt is eating at me right now!"

My Monsters [A Garroth X Reader Story] by AnonymousChild24

I smiled as I watched my closest friends be happy. That's all I've ever wanted, right? Make those around me happy, but it's hard sometimes. It's hard to watch those around you be happy when you can't manage to be happy yourself. But don't worry. It'll get better, right? That's what they say. Maybe they're right. I should just trust them. Trust. I have too much of that sometimes. I guess it's a bit of a price when you wear your heart on your sleeve. It gets knocked around pretty easily. It gets scratched and torn every now and then. My brother and sister, Aaron and Malissa, have always told me that I've always worn my heart on my sleeve. I may wear my heart on my sleeve, but I can't help but do whatever I can to protect it. Closing people out is usually the best way, but that's hard when you have kind heart. If there's any emotion I can hide, it's love. Well, at least I think so. I try, okay? Doesn't mean I'm good at it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello fellow potatoes! Fair warning: This story will have some depressing themes and possibly some triggers.
