《Two siblings, one friend and a baby》Part 23
Advertisement
I was in work by 6:30am the next morning, filling up the counter full of goodies that had been freshly baked early this morning and sorting out all of the tables for customers. "Good morning y/n" I heard Amy say as I was setting up the last table. "Good morning. How are you?" I said putting the cutlery down. "I'm good thank you. Yourself?" She asked. "Yeah good thank you. Mum, Dad and Charlotte surprised me last night by coming over". "Awh that's lovely!!" She said excitedly. "Yeah it is. They moved here too!". "What! And you didn't know?". "Nope. I'm happy because they want to help when the baby is born". I finished the table and waddled back behind the counter to sort the float out. "Wow. That's good! How's Tom and Harrison's getting on?" She asked putting her things away. "Yeah really good! They might be able to come home sooner than expected!" I cheered with happiness. "Amazing!" She answered. The door swung open and in came the first customer of the day. "Your finest bread please love" the women said. "Coming right up madam" I turned around and selected the best bread in town. "£1.50 Please" I said putting the bread into a bag. "Keep the change" the women smiled, walking out of the shop. "Thank you!".
Work went quicker than expected. I finished at 3pm. "See you tomorrow!" I smiled happily as I walked out the door. As soon as I got home, I found Sam, Elysia and Tessa snuggled up on the sofa. "So cute" I smiled walking past them. "Sorry y/n" Sam said quickly getting up. "Don't be. This is your home too!". He snuggled back down. Tessa came running over to me. "Hey girl". I rubbed her behind her ears. "Going for a shower" I shouted as I walked to my room. I closed the bathroom door and undressed. "God, I'm huge!" I thought as I looked at myself in the mirror.

Before it would of taken me 5-10 minutes to shower whereas now it takes me a good 30 minutes because it's hard to bend down. "Dammit" I muttered. I had dropped the conditioner on the floor, but because of my big belly, it was too much effort to get it. "Fuck it" I whispered while washing the shampoo out of my hair. A knock then came on the door. "Y/n are you okay? We heard a bang". It was Elysia. "Yeah I'm good thanks. Just dropped the conditioner". "Would you like me to get it?" She asked. "No all good thank you! I'm nearly finished!" I replied. "Okay!".
Finally, when I was finished, I got dressed and dried my hair. I grabbed my things. Harry was stood in the kitchen. "Alright y/n? How was work?" He asked with a mouth full of food. "Really good thanks! I'm off to Mum's. Are you lot coming?" I asked putting my coat on. "We've already seen the house" Sam piped up. "Oh okay! I'll cook tea when I'm back!" I said walking out the door. "No you won't! I will! Text me when you're coming home!" Elysia shouted. "Will do!". I shut the door and made my way to my parents. I had no idea where I was going so I rung Charlotte. "Okay, I see you!". I put the phone down.
"Wow" was all I could say when we finished the house tour. "It's bigger than the house in Australia" I exclaimed. "Well we wanted something bigger considering the family is growing" Mum smiled happily. I couldn't believe they had changed their mind. "Give me your hand" I said holding my hand out for Mum to take it. Once she gave it to me, I put in on my stomach. Little one was kicking. "She's having a party isn't she?" Mum laughed. "She's been having a party since I got up this morning" I replied moving in a different position. It was quite uncomfortable. "Oo" I flinched. "What's wrong?" Dad came rushing in. "Nothing, my phone is vibrating in my back pocket" I said laughing getting it. It was Harrison FaceTiming. "Good evening dearest brother. How are you?" I asked smiling. "Good morning dearest sister, I am good thank you. You?" He replied laughing. It was evening here and morning there so we also made fun of it. "You two are weird" Mum laughed. "Hiya Mum!" Harrison smiled widely. "Hi love. How's filming going?" She asked. "Yeah really well thank you!! We are back tomorrow! 2 months early! Anyway, I hear you have moved back permanently!" He said excitedly. "Yes we have! Would you like a quick house tour?" She asked. "Yes please!". "Okay! FaceTime me and I'll show you around!" Mum said pulling out her phone. "Okay!" Harrison said cutting off. "I'm going to go as Elysia is cooking dinner!" I said getting up slowly. "Okay love! How about all of you come for tea tomorrow to celebrate Tom and Harrison coming home? I'll invite Nikki, Dom and the others too?" She said. "Yeah that would be lovely! See you tomorrow!". I walked out the door when my phone started going off.

"Hey Tom! Are you okay?" I asked concerned.. He never called me. Only texted. "Yeah I'm good. Um...y/n I have to tell you something" Tom stammered. "Okay..." I replied stopping outside the flat. "I need to get this off my chest. Being away from you has been torture. I can't bare it any longer". "Tom, what's going on?" I said getting worried. "I...I love you y/n. I always have and I always will" he said. I stood stock still and I didn't know what to do or say. "Y/n, are you still there?" Tom asked worriedly. "Um...yeah" I stuttered. "Why tell me now. Why couldn't you tell me before?" I asked. "I was going to the day we left, but I bottled it" he replied sadly. "I got to go" I quickly said. "We come home tomorrow. Can we at least talk then?" He asked. "Yeah" I said and cut off. Did that seriously just happen? My best friend confessing he loves me.

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).

8 183Keys of the Endpoint
Keys of the Endpoint is an illustrated web serial about the re-birth of civilization in a fantastical world suffering from a recent apocalyptic event. Every day, people appear from the storms that ravage the Endpoint. Whisked away from their own time and place by storms in their homelands, these newcomers find themselves in a hostile place made up of ruins and people from every timeline imaginable. Stranger still, they all soon discover they're carrying silver keys that grant each holder incredible powers. On Earth, most people have mundane excuses for the disappearances, but not Isaac. Having lost his brother Finn to one of these storms, Isaac becomes obsessed with finding a pattern. Not to prevent more people disappearing, but rather to get taken by the storms himself in order to find his brother. While chasing Finn’s faint trail, Isaac soon discovers how little he really knew about himself, his brother and how much loss one person can take. In Keys of the Endpoint there's portal fantasy, personal drama, magic (useable by everyone), plenty of combat, power progression, mysteries, factions, feuds and eventually war (in that order). The magic system is well defined and modular with nigh infinite combinations. The story starts out with one of the two main characters looking for his lost brother but quickly expands in scope from that point on.
