I'll love you two forever, no matter what happens.
~ Natalie James's POV ~
Today's the day!
Today's the day where the twins come!
I couldn't sleep all night, I was too excited for this day.
I got up and took a shower, I washed my hair and did my skin care routine.
I was singing along to Taylor Swift's 22.
"You don't know about me! But I bet you'd want to!"
I sang into my brush as I got out the bathroom and went straight to my closet.
I searched and searched until I got the perfect outfit.
I grabbed a white shirt with blue sleeves, ripped jeans and my blue converse.
I went to my vanity and did my hair, I decided a simple ponytail.
I didn't do make up because natural face is the best face and it takes less time to get unready.
I went downstairs and began to make breakfast, I was happy with the names Javon and I chose.
I made scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes, bacon and waffles.
I made coffee and grabbed two pitchers, I filled them with apple juice because orange juice tastes like feet.
I said what I said, go argue with the wall.
"Good morning NJ."
I looked up and saw Dani, I hugged her and we both grabbed our plates and began to eat.
Discussing the plan of arrival, Ainsley and I would stay home and fix it up, baby proofing everything.
Garrett and Dani would go to the Waltons and have them come over, it took a lot of convincing for them to not get the twins anything.
After speaking, Ainsley and Garrett walked downstairs happily.
"Good morning, I'm excited."
Garrett said as he sat beside me and Ainsley sat next to Dani, we continued to eat.

Mom came downstairs excited, she was ready and ate breakfast.
Soon it was go time and everyone was on their separate mission, I couldn't stop being happy.
I was baby proofing a lot when I noticed a note, it was on the table.
I was nosey and had decided to open it, I would've never guessed it.
We haven't spoken in quite awhile, I'd have to say my favorite boxer is Mohammad Ali.
Lavender is quite soothing, I enjoy looking at it.
I hope you send soon, I'm starting to miss you.
Question of the day, Would you fall in love with someone that you never suspected?
Love, Your Secret Admirer
I smiled at the note and put it in my pocket, I would respond later on tonight.
After a simple hour, I watched as the Waltons filled our house.
Jaden, Javon and Garrett sat on the couch, talking about what the boy twin is going to do.
Jayla, Dani and I were speaking about how we will have so much fun with the girl twin whilst Ainsley was playing with Daelo.
Soon time was up and we noticed mom's car pull up, my heart leaped out of my chest when she grabbed two car seats.
I opened the door and watched as she walked in with two little angels.
We all said our hellos and soon, I was on the couch.
Mom held onto the girl twin and Jessica held the boy twin.
"So, what's their names NJ?"
Garrett asked softly, not wanting to disrupt the sleep of the two babies.
I looked at Javon, he smiled and nodded slightly.
I gulped and took a deep breath, these names took us years to come up with.
I hope they don't hate them.
"For the girl, Mila Scarlett Arthur and for the boy Milo Spencer Arthur."
I closed my eyes and braced myself for people to disagree with the names but when I opened them, everyone was smiling.
"Hello Milo, Hello Mila."
My mom cooed, I smiled and couldn't stop myself from crying.
Dani, Jayla and Ainsley hugged me.
Everyone spent time with the babies, I couldn't contain myself.
They were so cute, I cooed at them and took a photo.

Unto Dark
A man of cripplingly ill mind, bridled with the spirits and regrets of the past. Wade Pierce trudges through each day of his monochrome existence, only as penance for his sins. Such a man is abruptly decamped of this world courtesy of unapologetic forces, left stranded in a realm filled with unknowns. Armed only with his potent yet fragile intellect, Wade advances into this new abyss, as he attempts to rewrite the wrongs he has committed. Plagued by vile beasts, self-righteous Gods, and even his own seething darkness, the cracks in his mind begin to spread and a dangerous, newfound power bubbles beneath the surface. As the world grows darker day by day, this unfortunate journey begins ------------ I suppose rectitude dictates that I should state any themes worthy of noting here. First of all, this story is not a sunshiny one in the slightest. Since it is listed under the psychological and mature tag and not the comedy tag, that shouldn't be a surprise. Next, morbidity is a factor and general apathy towards human life. All of these are common themes amongst other writers, so nothing new there. The story also contains consensual, and non-consensual sexual activity, although I have tried to be as tasteful as is possible for someone like myself. Finally, the pace is drawn-out, and the language is magniloquent at times. Not to mention, the chapters are quite lengthy. Don't expect to read this halfheartedly... Other than that, enjoy the story... There's nothing more important than that...

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.

The Man Who Walked in the Dark
Just because it can be found, doesn't mean it should. All things found, all things fixed. Jude Demarco was the best private detective Nicodemia Station had ever ignored. Detective, handyman, medic.

When a collector arrives in a private cruiser from Earth looking for a stolen painting, Demarco has to decide if a few dimes are worth dealing with the worst of the worst in Nicodemia Station. It'll pit him against crime lords, government bureaucrats, and, even worse, the Catholic Church. If there's anything folks get too passionate about, it's art and religion. No sane person would take a job that mixed the two. Then again, sometimes a person just gets desperate.
