*Ariana's POV*
"Morning." I yawned as I walked into the kitchen.
"Morning." Everyone said to me. Jess' family is staying with us while they're in town.
"Now Ariana if I get a phone call today that you got into any trouble of any kind, I will kill you." Dad told me when I sat next to him.
"I'm not gonna get in trouble." I sighed. "But would you really kill me?" I laughed.
"Nah, I'll just have Jess do it." He shrugged.
"Hey, I'm pregnant I can't be killing people." She shook her head. "Have someone else do it!" She said.
"But who?" Dad asked her.
"We could get Nancy to." She suggested.
"But Jimmy would try to stop her." He said.
"Good point." She nodded. "I guess I could do it." She said. I looked at my parents in shock.
"Wow guys. I love you too." I said.
"We will always love you!" Dad laughed and kissed my cheek.
"Don't kiss me on the cheek!" I wiped my cheek where he kissed me. "You're planning how to kill me!" I said.
"Fine we won't kill you." He sighed.
"Good." I smiled.
"We'll poison her food, she won't see it coming." He whispered to Jess.
"I heard that!" I gasped.
"You were meant to." He smiled at me. I signed and rolled my eyes at him.
"Ariana, do you wanna go shopping with my mom and I?" Jess asked me.
"I have school, remember?" I laughed.
"I meant after school, stupid." She laughed.
"Sure." I nodded.
"So just drive home after school and change, then we can go." She smiled.
"Okay." I smiled.
I wonder when I'm getting my phone back? I looked over at Dad and smiled. Time to play the perfect daughter act.
"Daddy, when will-" I began, but he interrupted me.
"No." He said.
"But you don't even know what I was gonna ask you!" I said.
"Oh, but I do." He smiled.
"What was I going to ask you then?" I raised my eyebrows at him.
"Daddy, when will I get my phone back?" He said in a high pitched voice, trying to talk like me.
"Okay, I don't even talk like that!" I said.
"Yes you do." He smiled.
"But when will I get my phone back?" I sighed.
"When hell freezes over." He stood up from his chair and walked over to the fridge.

"Well I guess I better ask the devil when it's gonna freeze over." I looked down at my plate. "Dad, when's hell gonna freeze over?" I smiled at him. Everyone laughed while Dad glared at me.
"Ha ha ha, very funny." He rolled his eyes.
"Thank you." I smiled. Jess set a plate of pancakes in front of me. "Yes! Thanks Jess!" I smiled at her.
"No problem." She smiled at me.
"Uh where are my pancakes?" Dad asked Jess. He sat back down next to me.
"I don't know." She shrugged and smiled at him.
"Honey, will you please make me some?" He smiled at her.
"Make your own, Timberlake." She said. I laughed and he glared at me. He then stole a pancake off of my plate.
"Hey!" I gasped. He got out of his seat and ran out of the kitchen.
"Thanks for breakfast!" He called.
"You owe me a pancake!" I told him.
"I don't owe you anything!" He said.
"Yes you do!" I said. I looked at the clock on the wall and saw it was time for me to leave. "Crap. I gotta go." I sighed. I grabbed one of my pancakes off the plate and took a bite. "Thanks Jess." I smiled at her.
"Have a good day." She smiled at me.
"You need a ride to school?" Uncle JB asked me.
"No I'm good. I have my license now and my car." I told him.
"Can I see your car?" He asked me. I smiled and nodded.
"Let's go." I grabbed my bookbag and he followed me to the garage. "Bye Dad!" I yelled.
"Bye!" Dad yelled. Uncle JB and I then went into the garage.
"Which one is yours?" He asked me. He followed me over to my White Range Rover.
"This one." I nodded towards my car.
"Wow, this is nice." He told me.
"Thanks." I smiled. "Dad and Jess got it customized and stuff." I added.
"I like it. Well you better go. Have a good day." He smiled.
"You too." I smiled. I got in my car and drove to school.
*Justin's POV*
"Bye Dad!" I heard Ariana yell. I was making my way back to the kitchen.
"Bye!" I yelled back. I walked into the kitchen and saw my wife and her parents. "Where's JB?" I asked them.
"He wanted to see Ariana's car." Jon answered. I nodded and looked at where Ariana once sat.

"She didn't finish her pancakes?" I frowned.
"No, she had to leave before she could eat them." Jess said.
"Well I guess we shouldn't let good pancakes go to waste." I smiled.
"Nope." Jess grabbed the plate. "They're mine." She smiled. I sighed and shook my head.
"I'll just eat some cereal." I said. I went to the cabinet and grabbed a box of Cherrios. JB then walked back into the kitchen and sat where he once sat.
"Careful Justin, don't burn the Cherrios." Jess laughed at me.
"One time Jess! One time I burned our daughter's breakfast! That's it!" I said. "You aren't going to let me forget that are you?" I asked her. She took a bite of her pancakes and shook her head. She finished chewing and smiled at me.
"Nope." She smiled.
"At least I'm not as bad as Jimmy." I said as I poured Cherrios into a bowl I got from the cabinet.
"Jimmy can't cook?" Kim asked me.
"Oh God no." Jess and I both shook our heads. I got the milk out and poured it into my bowl. Then I put it back in the fridge.
"He once burned Ramon Noodles." I said. Jon, Kim and JB all laughed.
"That's sad." Jon shook his head.
"He can do a lot of things, but cooking isn't one of them." I laughed.
"Remember when he made me cookies for my birthday?" Jess asked me.
"Oh my God, yes!" I laughed. "Those were disgusting." I shook my head.
"At least he tried his best." She laughed.
"An A for effort." I laughed.
"Okay, we need to talk about when Ariana is getting ungrounded." Jess told me.
"Do we have to unground her?" I sighed.
"Yes Justin!" She said.
"Alright, next week I guess." I shrugged. "Just don't tell her, I'll surprise her." I said.
"Okay." Jess nodded.
"But I swear to God, if she gets another hickey on her neck I will make sure she doesn't see Alex again." I warned Jess.
"I know you will, honey." She smiled at me.
"I'll kick his ass." I said before I ate a spoonful of my Cherrios.
"We know, sweetheart." She nodded. She then looked at her parents and brother. "He's very protective." She told them.
"I'm not that protective." I shook my head. She raised her eyebrows at me. "What? I'm not!"
"Don't you even go there, Justin." She said.
"Alright maybe I am very protective." I said.
"That's what I thought." She smiled. "What are you doing today?" She asked me.
"Going to Baze's to meet with him, Jimmy and the band." I told her. We haven't had a meeting for a long time. With Jimmy and I getting in that car accident everything just got so busy.
"Oh okay." She nodded.
"Jon, JB, you guys wanna come with me?" I asked my father in law and brother in law.
"Sure." They smiled and nodded.
"Okay, we leave at ten." I told them. "I gotta go get ready." I stood from my seat. I kissed Jess on the cheek as she chewed her pancakes. She smiled at me and I walked out of the kitchen, upstairs to our room and began to get ready.
*Ariana's POV*
"She's back!" Lacy,Jonathan, and Stephen cheered. They all three hugged me.
"I'm back!" I laughed.
"So I heard Jess is pregnant!" Lacy smiled at me.
"Sh!" I hushed her. "They don't want people outside the family to know yet, but of course you're an exception." I told her.
"Okay." She nodded. I looked and saw Haley standing there awkwardly outside our group.
"Hey Haley!" I smiled. I feel bad for her standing there awkwardly.
"Hey! Glad you're back!" She smiled at me.
"So did I miss anything while I was gone?" I asked everyone.
"Not really." Lacy quickly answered.
"Nope." Stephen quickly shook his head.
"Not a thing." Jonathan said. I looked at all three of them and frowned.
"What happened?" I asked them. They all three looked at each other and sighed.
"That's what happened." Lacy nodded towards something behind me. I turned around and looked. I saw Grace and Will kissing, well I guess they were making out. I looked back at my friends and shrugged.
"Who cares?" I laughed.
"You're okay with this?" Stephen asked me.
"Yeah! Why wouldn't I be? I have Alex." I laughed.
"Okay." Jonathan nodded. "Let's go to class guys." He said. We all began walking to class. I glanced back at Will and Grace and saw they stopped kissing. Will winked at me before Grace pulled him in for another kiss. I sighed and continued walking.
Today's gonna be a long day.

Cultivating Earth [Hiatus]
[This fiction is on indefinite hiatus. I'm currently acting as a 24-hour caregiver for my step-father who had a massive heart attack. I apologize for disappearing so quickly, but sometimes that's just life. I'll return as soon as possible. Sorry everyone!] Zhao Gang, after hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, has finally reached the penultimate threshold. He is ready to ascend to the level of True Immortal. Driven by the need for a place his enemies won't find him, Zhao Gang puts together an audacious plan. He has developed a revolutionary new formation which will allow him to ascend while on even the lowest planes. To avoid drawing attention, he has to choose a plane that is relatively desolate, however. He chooses Earth. Fast forward three thousand years. Zhao Gang discovers what his work has wrought - a cultivation-free culture that has delved the deep mysteries of creation - he can't help but think how this tiny little planet devoid of natural energy could affect the course of all creation. There's only one problem. For that to happen, he has to succeed in cultivating Earth. Notes: Chinese names should be ignored in the social context - they don't mean anything. Sorry for slaughtering such a beautiful tradition. This novel starts off slower than most. If the slow-roll isn't your thing, you might want to give this a pass. If it's not for you, I understand. Also, releases may be broken up into smaller chunks. The goal is 5k words, but definitely more than 4k. If you see a short release, be aware that more is probably coming. I'll be honest and say that I'm struggling with each new scene, if only because I want to balance the scope of vision with good pacing. I hope the work I put into it is worthwhile.

Incursions
This blurb concerns Incursions book 1: Incarceration. If you could buy superhuman abilities, but they might kill you—or worse—would you do it? Ten years ago, in a world not so different from our own, people with powerful abilities appeared. The new powers were dangerous, dangerous to acquire—dangerous to have—dangerous to wield. World governments raced to find and eradicate the abilities and those who possess them while using the media to rule by fear. Whereas corporations sought to exploit the abilities for profit. Raz Owens was living the dream - a rising star at a job he enjoys, a girlfriend he loves, but it all comes crashing down when Raz disregards his late father's advice. He is pulled into a chaotic underworld of clandestine labs, shadow organizations, and super-powered criminals. Used as a human test subject in a place where few survive the day, he must last long enough to escape. His only advantage? A power that seems nearly useless—a heads-up display. Contains: monsters, violence, death, dismemberment, gamelit, superpowers, superpower consequences, good guys, bad guys, good guys who might be bad guys, bad guys who think they are good guys, good guys that might go bad, bad guys that might turn good, guns for hire, competence, incompetence, continence, incontinence, conspiracies, and some of what I just said wasn't true. This story is written in third person limited POV. That means you can expect to know many of the thoughts and inner dialog of one character, and only see the actions of other characters. This POV does include scenes without the main character, and thus the reader can and will know things the main character does not. Further, this means characters act on what they know, which is almost always less than the reader knows. Something else to know. These books do not hold your hand. If you're reading it and thinking "Gosh, why aren't 'they' doing some 'obvious' thing." Bad news. You probably missed something that explains exactly that. If you're seeking a light read that doesn't ask much of you as the reader, you're invited and very welcome to come on in, but this might not be the story for you.
