Testing Fate
Part 25
*Justin's POV*
It had been a few days since I had seen Selena, but that was okay with both of us because we had been texting and stuff. Honestly, I needed this time alone to reflect on my life especially over these last few roller coaster, months.
With my break, I really spent a lot of time praying to God and trying to figure out what He had in store for me. Did He even want me to marry Selena? Did He want me to have kids with her right now?
So by the end of my focus session on God, I had been reminded that God really did have a plan for me even if I can't see it. He has big plans.
I had finally decided after this one phone call, I was going to go over to Selena's and finally work on being us again, because I don't see us going anywhere if we aren't 100 percent into this relationship.
"Justin?" The soothing female voice asked on the other side of the phone.
"Hi mom," I said with a small smile on my lips. Some people may call me a bit of a momma's boy but she was my mother so I guess I was okay with that.
"How are you, honey?" she asked slightly shocked that I had called because we hadn't really had much time for talk for quite some time so this phone call was long overdue.
"Actually mom, not all that great," I replied honestly letting her know everything that I had been struggling with.
"Honey, you did the right thing. You have to surrender it all to God and let Him take the reins on your life and trust that He knows what He's doing. It's going to be hard at first believe me but it will be worth it."

"But how am I supposed to know what God wants me to do? It's not like he's physically here with me telling me to do this and not do that," I said letting go of something I had really had a hard time with.
"Your heart will tell you everything you need to know," she said in the most comforting way.
We spent the next hour or so catching up and I had to admit, it was really great getting to talk to my mom again.
After we hung up, I went to get my shoes and keys. Just as I was about to leave, the door bell rang catching me off guard.
I opened the door slowly seeing as I wasn't expecting any guest and to my surprise the one person I wanted to see was standing right in front of me.
"Selena," I breathed.
"I know I shouldn't have come but I needed to see you," she said lowering her head, almost as if she was ashamed.
"I was actually just about to go see you," I said honestly causing her head to snap up.
Next thing I know, her lips collided with mine and the rest of the night was heaven.
*Selena's POV*
I woke feeling super happy over they way things had turned out. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be and I would be pregnant in no time but I can't help but wonder what Justin would say if I asked him what he thought about giving James and Leigh a baby.
"Good morning, Princess," Justin said with a smile plastered on his lips.
"Morning handsome."
"Did you sleep good?" He asked propping himself up.
"I always sleep good when I'm with you," I smiled kissing his nose softly.

"What do you want to do today?"
"Are we playing 20 questions now?" I asked playfully, raising my eye brow.
He chucked softly muttering and apology but it was adorable to me.
"And to answer your question. How about we lay in bed all day and just want movies and cuddle like we used to a long time ago. How does that sound?"
"Anything that has to do with you sounds perfect," he smirked rolling on top of me with a long, meaningful kiss.

"Hey Sel?" Justin asked turning off the DVD player after our all day movie marathon.
"Huh?" I asked slightly turning my head in his direction.
"What happened to your parents. I haven't really heard you talk much about them since we got back together," he said honestly.
"Nothing. They moved back to Texas with Gracie and I talk to them about once, maybe twice a week," I said leaning my head onto the pillow.
I really did miss Brian and my mom but they said that I was a big girl and I didn't need them anymore so they moved to get Gracie away from the life as much as possible.
"I miss them," he said throwing his hands behind his head looking up at the ceiling.
"Yeah me too," I muttered turning on my side.
"When's your next job?"
"Not for a while. I wanted to take it easy and just see where the road takes me. I don't want to rush anything but if a part comes my way then I'll jump on it. I'm still not sure if I want to do music or acting more," at this point I felt like I was really talking to myself with how honest I was being with him but I just felt free. Like I didn't need to hold back how I was feeling because I know he would pressure or judge me.
"You know I'll be there with whatever you choose," he whispered in my ear making me smile.
"Yeah I do. I love you."
"I love you Selena Marie," he said kissing my nose making me giggle.

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]
