"What's this?" Annette asked when Gracie handed her the bag that contained her gift.
"It's a present for you Grammy." Gracie said.
Annette smiled and pulled out the little velvet box and opened it.
"Oh my." Annette said.
She carefully picked up the locket and opened it. Inside was a picture of Becky and one of Gracie.
"This is lovely." Annette said.
"Why cry?" Gracie asked. "Do you need a hug?"
"Grammy always needs a hug." Annette said and Gracie hugged her.
"All better?" Gracie asked.
"Yes, thank you darling." Annette said.
Gracie smiled and moved over to Seth and climbed onto his lap.
"Getting sleepy?" Seth asked.
"A little." Gracie said.
"All this travel is crazy huh?" Becky said.
"But fun." Gracie said.
"That too." Becky said.
"How about we have dinner and you can go to sleep." Annette said.
"Food?" Gracie said sitting up.
"Definitely your mother's daughter." Annette said.
"She does love her food." Becky said. "So what's for dinner?"
"I made Irish Nachos and stew." Annette said.
"Yum." Becky said. "Ready to try new foods?"
"Yes." Gracie said.
Becky smiled and they walked to the kitchen.
"I made two styles." Annette said. "Vegetarian and regular."
"Vegetarian please." Gracie said.
"You got it." Becky said dishing her up some.
"So no meats?" Annette asked as they all dishes up and sat down.
"She will try to say she tried but she's not big on them." Seth said.
"Stinky." Gracie said.
"Some do strink." Becky said smiling.
"Are you excited to try cake tomorrow?" Annette asked.
"No." Gracie said. "I want grapes."
"She's not big in sweets." Becky said smiling. "Chocolates now and again but she loves her health foods."
"Cake can be good for your soul." Annette said.
"Grapes are better." Gracie said. "Right daddy?"
"If you want grapes, then grapes you shall have." Seth said.
Gracie smiled and ate her food before she began nodding off.
"I will get her ready for bed." Becky said.
"And I will help clean up." Seth said.
"Me too." Josh said.
"Ready for a story?" Seth asked she Gracie reappeared.
"Yes." Gracie said walking over with her favorite book in her hands.
Seth smiled and picked her up and she curled upon his lap and Seth read her story.
"One of my favorite times of the day." Becky said as Annette smiled next to her.
"She's a great girl." Annette said.
"She picked your present herself, she saw a picture in a magazine and knew she wanted to get you one." Becky said.
"He's a good da." Annette said.
"He's a great da." Becky said.
"And you are a great mom." Seth said coming over. "I'll tuck her in."

"Sweet dreams luv." Becky said kissing her head.
"Night mommy." Gracie said. "Night Grammy."
"Night darling." Annette said.
Seth smiled and carried Gracie to bed.
"Does she like Pancakes?" Annette asked.
"She does." Becky said. "Loves helping me cook."
"Good, she can help me in the morning." Annette said.
"She will love that." Seth said reappearing.
"I think it's time we hit the hay too, it's been a long day." Becky said.
Annette smiled and hugged her before she took Seth's hand and led him to her room.
"You look very content." Seth said.
"I feel very content." Becky said. "I am home in Ireland, I have you and our daughter with me and tomorrow we get to introduce Gracie to my da and brother."
"I am glad your mom got today." Seth said.
"Me too." Becky said. "Seeing Gracie with my ma was mind blowing."
"I know what you mean." Seth said. "Our daughter is one loved little girl."
"She is." Becky said. "Which is why I have been thinking a lot about McKenna's family."
"Oh." Seth said.
"I want to write them a letter and tell them about her and the life she has, send them pictures if they want and maybe find a way to let them be a part of her life. I know what they did to McKenna was wrong and they have to live with that guilt and they'll have to answer all of Gracie's questions when she's older and has them. But we wouldn't have her if things worked out differently. Gracie deserves to be loved by all who can love her healthily and can support her in her life."
"Okay." Seth said.
Becky smiled and leaned up and kissed him.
"You are an amazing man do you know that?" Becky asked.
"I am am I?" Seth said.
"You are." Becky said moving to straddle his lap. "The." She kissed him. "Most." She kissed him again." "Amazing." She deepen the kiss and they made love before falling asleep.
"Mommy." Gracie called when Becky came into the kitchen.
"Morning luv." Becky said.
"I helped Grammy make pancakes." Gracie said.
"You did, how awesome was that." Becky said.
"Look she gave me my own apron." Gracie said.
"I had one like that when I was little." Becky said.
"That was it, just with a new pocket." Annette said.
"Wow." Becky said.
"It's okay that it's mine now right?" Gracie asked.
"More then okay." Becky said scooping her up.
"Thank you mommy." Gracie said hugging her.
"You are welcome." Becky said.
"Where is daddy?" Gracie asked.
"He is laying in bed waking up." Becky said.
"Cuddles." Gracie said.
"Go for it." Becky said setting her down and watching her race off.

"Morning darling." Annette said pouring her a cup of coffee.
"Morning." Becky said. "How was your morning with Gracie?"
"Amazing." Annette said smiling. "It warms my heart every time she say Gammy."
"She's been talking about seeing you non stop for days now." Becky said.
"Josh told me." Annette said.
"Where is he?" Becky asked.
"He had some errands to run." Annette said. "He said he meet you all for cake tasting later."
"Okay." Becky said. "He been amazing with Gracie the last few weeks."
"You have a great support system around you." Annette said.
"We do." Becky said as her phone went off. "It's da."
"Gracie is excited to meet him." Annette said.
"I know, kinda crazy I am introducing my daughter to my family." Becky said. "She's talked to everyone on video call but face to face is something different."
"Your da is going to love her just like I do." Annette said. "She feels very much your daughter."
"She always has." Becky said.
"How did you meet her again?" Annette asked.
"We we're doing a children's hospital visit." Becky said. "We were walking down a hall and she turned and smiled at me and I was just drawn into the room."
"You're mine and my mama's favorite wessler." Gracie said from Seth's arm.
"That is what you said." Becky said. "Did you enjoy cuddles with daddy?"
"Yes, but he said I smell like syrup and the last time I did he tried to eat me." Gracie said.
"He did." Becky said smiling.
"So we came to feed him." Gracie said.
"Well we have plenty." Annette said and he and Becky dished up. "How about while these two eat we get you cleaned up and dressed?"
"Okay Grammy, I have my outfit picked out." Gracie said. "It's speacial for when I meet Grampy."
"I bet he will love it." Annette said and she took Gracie from the room.
"My mom is over the moon with her granddaughter." Becky said.
"That's good." Seth said. "Gracie said she had an amazing morning making breakfast and talking to your mom about you."
"I bet she has loads of questions." Becky said.
"She does." Seth said smiling. "But she is very happy."
"That is great." Becky said. "My man and my baby happy."
"More then happy." Seth said leaning over and kissing her.
After breakfast they cleaned up and got ready for the day.
"Look mommy." Gracie said. "Do you like my braids?"
"You look adorable in braids." Becky said. "Did you thank Grammy for doing then?"
"Yes." Gracie said.
"Are you ready to go meet your grandda and Uncle Richy?" Becky asked.
"I am." Gracie said. "I got their presents."
"Good." Becky said.
"I will see you three later for the cake tasting." Annette said. "Have fun."
"We will." Becky said.

"Daddy." Gracie said and Seth smiled and sat down with Gracie on his lap as Becky sat next to him.
"You wanna pass out your presents?" Becky asked and Gracie nodded taking one and handing it to Ken and then taking the other and handed it to Rich.
"Did you pick these out yourself?" Ken asked.
"Yes." Gracie said. "Daddy paid but I picked."
"That's how it works." Ken said.
"Open." Gracie said.
Both chuckled and opened their presents.
"Wow, this is nice." Rich said.
"Mommy says you're an artist." Gracie said.
"I am." Rich said. "These tools will work nicely."
"Mommy said you might teach me to make something while we're here." Gracie said.
"We can do that." Rich said.
"Do you like it Grampy?" Gracie asked as Ken looked at the pocket watch he got with Gracie and Becky's picture inside.
"I love this." Ken said. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Gracie said. "Can I have some cocoa?"
"Yes." Seth said stopping a waitress and ordering her one and them some coffee.
Ken sat mesmerized as Gracie told him about her travels through Europe and all the cool things she's done.
"You've made his year." Rich said. "All year he's been so proud of you, everything you've done with wwe, your relationship with Seth and now this. It's been the year of Becky."
"I am just living my life." Becky said.
"You are and that is why we're a so proud." Rich said. "You're happy, health and living a great life."
"What about your life?" Becky asked.
"My life is doing good, I am seeing someone new but it's to soon to introduce her to family but if things keep going this way I will bring her to your wedding." Rich said.
"Okay." Becky said. "Speaking of weddings, I think we need to head over and met Grammy and Uncle Josh for cake tasting."
"I still think grapes would be better." Gracie said making everyone giggle.
"How about we give the cakes a try and if you don't like them you can have grapes." Seth said.
"Okay." Gracie said. "You're the best daddy."
Seth smiled and scooped her up and they headed to meet everyone at the bakery.

Midthalion Saga
+++Working on new chapters. Share what I've posted with your friends and family! Be sure to build strong bonds with those who are important to you. We only have each other in this world for so long!+++ Can Roderick XXIII gather together and train a party of adventurers to clear out Madeon Caves and bring peace to the wildmarches of Midthalion? Sent from his home monastery in the west to the wildmarches of Midthalion, Roderick the Holy Avenger is devoted to living out his oath to bring the Holy Light to the dark corners of the world. He enlists the help of an old friend, Ulrich Vogelbrandt the dwarf druid, to train and prepare a fighting force capable of defending the west from the evil they both see gathering and growing in the east. Eoroth is an ode to Tolkienesque epic fantasy, Robert E Howard and H.P. Lovecraft's pulp fiction, and Gygaxian Dungeons & Dragons. I like to write about serious topics because I think it's fun. I hope it makes for a fun read. Place: Eoroth, a vast, flat world with many continents set in oceans that reach out and mingle with the Celestial Sea. Our story takes place on the continent of Thalion in the middle, unsettled region called Midthalion. Peoples: Races in Eoroth aren't different species; the species of man is just incredibly diverse, consisting of many known races (and perhaps some unknown). There are no humans in Thalion. Thalion's races include variations of elves, dwarves, halflings (billowits), pierros (clownish men), bergeracs (long-nosed and swarthy men of honour), orcs, trolls, goblins, and hobgobs. The Church: There's one dominant religion in Westhalion. The faith of the elves is an analogue to Roman Catholicism while the dwarves practice an Eastern Orthodox analogue. (Forgive me for not having figured out names yet.) The practitioners worship a triune god (the All-Father, Son-of-All, and Holy Light). There are many powers in heaven, all created by God. These include the Twelve High Thrones, individual, created beings who take on the role of guiding mankind in different aspects, drawing them closer and closer to God. (That should be the essentials. I could write pages on the theology. Comment where something's unclear in the story.) Natural World: There are plants and animals in Eoroth, but the world is also inhabited by spirits called aeons. Aeons are transformative beings; in the wild, they'll change based on whatever is happening nearby. Pollute a pond? Expect to see toxic toad-men running around. Leave a bunch of dead bodies strewn across a battlefield? Expect the place to become haunted with ghouls and ghasts. Druids are important for making sure that the aeons are pacified; that their needs are met so that they don't become rampaging monsters. Where the wilderness becomes overgrown, so too do the aeons. Aeons and People: Long ago, men learned how to trap aeons in stone tablets and use them for war. Now, anyone can capture an aeon into a special staff made by a druid. Men train, raise, and bond with these aeons. Druids often build entire ranches devoted to raising healthy aeons as allies and companions. Aeons are divided into twelve known families, and the church sees these as corresponding with the Twelve Thrones in Heaven. Direction: My goal is to get the story to one million words by June next year. I have tons of content in mind for the world. I want to release novels set in different ages of the world depicting different historical events. I hope to expand the setting into a tabletop role-playing game as well as a series of old-school JRPGs. But, it all begins with writing some stories and publishing my novels.
