The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me - A Book of Mormon One-Shot [Writing #3]

This wasn't always a BOM one-shot. It used to be cringey, but I changed the characters because it's cute and I like how it came out.
Words: 638


Kevin walked into the apartment he shared with his husband and their newborn daughter. Connor sat on the couch watching something on TV. “Hey!” Kevin smiled at his husband.
“Sh!” Connor looked at the other man. “I just got Grey to go to sleep.” He pointed towards the bedrooms.
“Oh. Sorry.” Kevin lowered his voice. Plopping down on the sofa, he rested his head on his husband’s shoulder. “Are you finally watching Stranger Things?”
“Yeah. You do know how to recommend a show.” Connor smiled. “I like it so far. How was the hospital tonight?”
“Same old, same old. Nothing new to complain about. Everyone was asking about you and our little girl.” Kevin smiled. “Thank God it’s Friday. This weekend I am all yours.”
“Good. You can sleep late.”
“Yeah.” Kevin sat up, yawning.
“You should got to bed.”
“No. I’m okay for at least another hour.”
“Kev.” Connor looked at his husband. “Go to bed. You look exhausted.”
“Do I really?”
“Yes. Go. I’ll join you in a few.” Connor kissed him.
“I love you, Con.”
“I love you too.” Connor smiled. Kevin got up and walked to the bedroom. He did have a long day. Every Friday dragged on longer than most days at the office.
 ___________________________________________________________
Connor turned off the TV and walked to the bedroom. Kevin lied in bed, on his phone. “What are you doing?”
“Trying to make my eyes tired.” Kevin yawned. “Join me.” He patted Connor’s side of the be. Climbing into bed, the dark haired man watched the ginger. “Have I mentioned how beautiful you are?”
“Shut up.” Connor laughed.
“What? I can’t admire my husband?” Kevin asked.
“And the father of your child.”
“And the father of my child.” Kevin laughed. “Can you believe we’re finally dads.”
“I know right.” Connor sighed. “My mom called today.”
“What did she want?”
“She heard that Grey was born and asked about her. Asked how we were doing.”
“Now he cares?” Kevin asked.
“That’s not fair. If it wasn’t for the church-”
“If it wasn’t for the church ex-communicating us, she’d still be in your life. I know the speech. But my issue is why did she choose her belief over her son? My parents did too. It’s fucked up.”
“Hey, language.”
“She’s sleeping.”
“Babies still can learn while their asleep.”
“That’s bullshit.”
“Hey!” Connor clasped his hand over Kevin’s mouth, getting a muffled laugh in response. “Cool it.” He removed his hand.
“Fine.” Kevin smiled. “Arnold and Naba invited us to dinner sometime this week.”
“Sounds good. Bobby offered to babysit whenever we need a night to ourselves.” Connor added.
“I don’t think I’m ready to let her go for a night. I already miss her when I’m at work.” Kevin looked over at the crib. “All of this right here, right now is the best thing that can ever happen to me.”
“Gay you is so much more sentimental than straight you.” Connor laughed. “I remember when we met and you pretended to be as straight as an arrow.”
“Oh God. The mission trip that went wrong. You were in the closet, too. I wasn’t the only one.”
“Yeah, but I wasn’t very good at fighting it.” Connor laughed. “That was one hell of a week. Things were going well until you and Arnold showed up.”
“If Arnold and I never went to Uganda, you and I would both be miserable and I’d probably be in loveless marriage, hating myself and taking it out on my wife.”
“That’s very specific.”
“I’ve thought about it before.” Kevin admitted. “But I’m not in a loveless marriage.” He looked at Connor. “I love you.”
“Love you, too, Kev.” Connor sighed. “We should get to sleep. First one awake makes breakfast.”
“Fair enough.” Kevin put his phone on his night table. “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

 Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas  premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

 Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
