《To the Stars》Unexpected

Loke sat at her desk, fiddling with a small black box. Lucy had just gone back to the guild to talk to Levy and Loke had stayed behind so the girls could have some time. His heart was pounding in his chest. She had been acting strange when she left, quiet all morning, the only thing that kept his head on his shoulders was that she had make sure to give him a quick kiss before she left and told him that she loved him. He had no idea what was wrong but he was worried about her. He heard the door knob jingle as she put her key in and he quickly slipped the box into his pocket. She looked so sad, he hurried over and wrapped her in his arms before she could say anything.
"What's wrong my love?" He pulled her over to their bed and she sat next to him leaning her head on his shoulder,
"Loke, I didn't just go to the guild this morning." Her voice was quiet and shaky, tears starting falling down her cheeks and she clenched her fists in her lap.
"What do you mean?" He wasn't quite sure what was happening.
"I went and found Natsu, and he brought me to the doctor's." It was getting hard to understand her between her sobs but Loke just held her close and rubbed her back absentmindedly.
"Are you ok? Are you sick my love? I can make you some tea and we can take it easy today, get you feeling better in no time!" He was confused why Natsu would have taken her, she definitely could have gone by herself unless something had happened at the guild, "did something happen while you were at the guild?" Concern rose in his voice.

"No I-" she tried to catch her breath between sobs, "Loke I'm pregnant!" She covered her face and Loke just sat there a little dumbstruck.
"You're? We're?" He shook his head a little bit before it processed, he looked down and the woman he loved and something connected, he scooted behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling him back against his chest and resting his hands on her stomach. "Lucy I love you, I will stick by you with every decision you make." He kissed her cheek, wiping away a tear. She let herself collapse into him, curled up in his arms as the sobs began to simmer.
"Really?" Her lip trembled when she asked.
"Lucy, I fought for the privilege of calling you mine for months, and the time we have been together has been the happiest time of my life, nothing is going to change that. You're my other half, and I want what you want." She turned at looked at him, wonder in her eyes,
"Loke, I want to keep it, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet, but I want to be a family." She was so quiet but the words hit him like a ton of bricks and his heart swelled, she wants to be a family he couldn't keep his smile away. He pulled her close and nuzzled his face into her neck.
"I'm going to be a father." He whispered almost giddy. He jumped up and grabbed her in his arms, swinging her around gently, "we're gonna have a baby!" He laughed watching her tears dry and her smile return,
"You really want to start a family with me?" She was quiet, Hope swelled in her voice and he was amazed she could even wonder that.

"Lucy." He smiled kissing her tenderly, "it's all I've ever wanted." She laughed as she threw her arms around his neck holding him close. "But I do have one question." He pulled away from her so they were standing face to face, he kissed her sweetly and took her hands. With one graceful swoop he had bent down on one knee and pulled out the small black box, placing it in her hands, "I know we've been through ups and downs, we've grown so much together and I feel whole when I'm with you, I want to start this life and end this life with you, by my side, forever. Will you marry me?" She gasped as the tears welled up again.
"Yes!"

8 314Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
