"Hey." Josh said coming in and then stopping. "Sorry."
"It's okay." Becky said. "What's up?"
"We were going to see if either of you were up for coming to the gym." Josh said.
"You can go." Becky said to Seth who looked up at her. "I know you got some guys working out there."
"You sure?" Seth asked.
"Yes." Becky said. "I am just going to cuddle here with our girl."
"Okay." Seth said. "Call if you or she needs me."
"I will." Becky said.
Seth smiled and leaned down and kissed her softly.
"I am going to go change." Seth said and Josh nodded.
"Hi my sweet luv?" Becky said when Gracie stirred awake.
"Mommy." Gracie smiled.
"Did you have a good nap?" Becky asked.
"Yep, cuddled with mommy." Gracie said. "Where is my daddy?"
"Daddy is at his school." Becky said.
"Oh." Gracie said pouting.
"Missing him?" Becky asked.
"Yeah." Gracie said.
"How about we take a little trip and see him, we gotta get some groceries too." Becky said.
"Okay." Gracie said.
Becky helped her bundle up and they headed out.
"Shall we get groceries first or see daddy?" Becky asked.
"Shop." Gracie said. "Buy daddy present."
"Okay." Becky said chuckling.
"Now sweet girl remember the doctor said to make sure you don't get exposed to to many germs you gotta wear your special mask while we're out." Becky said.
"Okay." Gracie said.
Becky smiled and put the purple mask on her and made sure her nose was covered.
"Is that too tight?" Becky asked.
"Nope, just right." Gracie said.
Becky smiled and they headed into the shop. She placed Gracie in the cart seat and their reusable bags in the back.
"Okay on my phone is a list." Becky said and Gracie pulled up the note app and found a list. She would mark things off as Becky put things into the cart.
"That's all." Gracie said.
"Okay." Becky said. "Do you know what you want to get daddy?"
"Yes." Gracie said. "A goodie."
"Let's go look at the bakery." Becky said.
They wondered to the back and looked around.
"See anything?" Becky asked.
"That one looks like a coffee cup." Gracie said point to the display case.
"It does." Becky said. "Want to get daddy that?"
"Yeah." Gracie said. "Uncle Josh and Aunt Jen too."
"How can I help you?" A women behind the counter asked.

"We'll take three of the cup one, individual boxes if you can." Becky said pointing to the top shelf.
"Okay." She said getting them out and boxing them up. "Anything else?"
"Do you want anything?" Becky asked.
"Can I try the fruit one?" Gracie asked.
"Of course." Becky said ordering it as well.
"All set." The women said handing the boxes over.
"Thank you." Gracie said.
The women smiled and Becky walked them to the front for check out.
After paying they headed over to the school.
"Great job boys." Seth said. "Take five and get some water."
"Daddy." Gracie said.
Seth smiled and scooped her up.
"I like the mask." Seth said.
"No germs." Gracie said.
"No germs." Seth said.
"Down please." Gracie said and he set her down and she walked over to where Becky stood and Becky handed her one of the boxes and she walked back to Seth.
"Is this a present for me?" Seth asked squatting down to her level.
"Yeah." Gracie said.
Seth smiled and took the box and opened it.
"Oh my." Seth said. "This looks like a coffee."
"Yeah." Gracie said.
"This is amazing thank you my sweet girl." Seth said kissing her cheek.
"More." Gracie said.
"More kisses?" Seth asked.
"No, presents for Uncle Josh and Aunt Jen." Gracie said. "Come."
"Okay." Seth said standing up and fallowing Gracie back to where Becky stood.
"Hi." He said kissing her.
"Hi." She said.
"Mommy." Gracie said.
"Okay." Becky said digging out the next two boxes.
"For me?" Jen said taking the box she was being offered.
"Yeah." Gracie said handing Josh the other.
"We get presents too?" Josh asked.
"Yeah." Gracie nodded.
They both smiled and opened them.
"Oh that looks so good." Jen said.
"Taste great." Josh mumbled having taken a bite.
"Uncle Josh is silly." Gracie said. "Daddy, I gotta go potty."
"Let's go then." Seth said taking her into the bathroom.
"Better?" Becky asked.
"Yeah." Gracie said.
"Good." Becky said. "Can you telling everyone bye so we can get home and put groceries away."
"Okay." Gracie said.
"We're almost done here." Seth said scooping her up. "About another hour and then I'll come home and we can play a game?"
"Mario Cart?" Gracie asked.
"Yes." Seth said.
"Okay." Gracie said. "Make them sweat."
"Will do." Seth said smiling and kissing her cheek.

"Now kiss mommy bye while I say bye to Uncle Josh and Aunt Jen." Gracie said.
"Cheeky monkey." Seth said sitting her down.
She moved across the floor to where Jen was standing.
"That girl." Seth said.
"She loves you and knows what makes you happy." Becky said.
"She does." He said. "We'll be home in about an hour and a half"
"Okay." Becky said.
Seth smiled and leaned down and kissed her.
"Okay luv time to go." Becky called.
"Bye." Gracie said as she waved to everyone.
"Mommy can we get some toast from 392?" Gracie asked.
"Okay." Becky said. "I could use some coffee."
They walked down to the corner and into the shop. Gracie ordered her toast and a hot chocolate while Becky ordered a coffee. After all was done they headed home.
"Look mommy snow." Gracie said as it started coming down. "It's like magic."
"It is." Becky said.
They got the groceries inside and Becky set Gracie up to eat while she out things away.
"How's that toast?" Becky asked.
"Yummy." Gracie said.
"Good." Becky said. "You feeling good after going out?"
"A little tired but okay." Gracie said.
"When you're done you should rest so you have plenty of energy to play with daddy when he gets home." Becky said.
"Yeah." Gracie said finishing up her toast. "Thank you for my toast and cocoa."
"You are welcome." Becky said kissing her forehead and cleaning up the crumbs as Gracie walked to the living too.
"We're home." Seth said coming in from the garage.
"Hi." Becky said looking up from the table where she was working.
"Hi." Seth said leaning down and kissing her. "Where is Gracie?"
"I here daddy." Gracie called from the living room.
"Up from her nap." Becky said as they walked out to the living room to see her standing on the couch.
"Daddy." She called reaching up to him.
Seth smiled and picked her up holding her close.
"Did you have a good nap." Becky asked.
"Yeah, lot's of energy." Gracie said.
"Good." Seth said.
"Mommy play too?" Gracie asked.
"In a bit, I got some work to finish up." Becky said.
"Okay." Gracie said as Jen and Josh came in. "Play too?"
"Sure." Josh said.
Gracie smiled and Seth set things up and they had fun playing. Becky finished up what she was doing and joined them.
"Yay." Gracie cheered having won with Becky's help.
"Way to go sweet luv." Becky said.
"Mommy is good luck." Gracie said. "Bestest tag team partner."
"Aunt Charlotte will tell you the same thing." Becky said.
"So would daddy." Seth said.
"I hungry." Gracie said as the door sounded.
"That will be dinner." Becky said.
"I'll get it." Seth said getting up with Josh.
"Pizza?" Gracie said.
"Yep." Becky said.
"How you know I want that?" Gracie asked.
"You and daddy always want pizza after playing video games together." Becky said. "I put the order in before joining you."
"Wow." Gracie said. "Mommy smart."
"She is." Jen said. "Let's go wash up."
"No germs." Gracie said as Jen scooped her up and walked to the bath room with her.
After dishing up they ate and talked.
"I know you guys have Day with the Deadboys on Saturday before Rumble so if you like I'd be happy to hang out with Gracie." Jen said.
"I can't do it?" Gracie asked.
"You have to take it easy." Becky said.
"If she wears her mask maybe we can sit in the corner and hand out waters." Jen said.
"How about we see how you are feeling that Saturday." Becky said.
"Okay." Gracie said.
After dinner Gracie chilled out on the couch with Becky and Jen.
"I think we've been replaced." Josh said.
"Yep, all mine." Gracie said making both ladies chuckle.
"Well I can share, but I don't know about Uncle Josh, he might get really, really lonely without his Jen." Seth said.
"Wrelly?" Gracie asked.
"Yeah and then he might be really really sad." Becky said.
"Will Aunt Jen be sad too?" Gracie asked.
"I would be." Jen said.
"Well then I can share." Gracie said.
Both of the guys chuckled and sat down next to their lady.
"Now I have all four of you." Gracie said. "All mine and all together."
"That we are." Josh said.
Gracie choose to watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone falling asleep half way through.
"She is totally a daddy's girl picking this morning." Josh said.
"Yep." Seth said smiling down at his sleeping daughter who was curled up with Becky who was also beginning to doze. "I should get these two to bed."
"I am not asleep." Becky said.
"You're close to it." Seth said carefully picking Gracie up. "Come on bedtime."
"Did he win?" Gracie asked popping awake.
"Of course he won he's Harry Potter." Seth chuckled.
"Good." Gracie said before falling back asleep.
"So your kid." Jen chuckled. "Night."
"Good night." Becky said.

Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World
Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect. Brief Synopsis:American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities. The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know. I want to do this the right way. P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D
