《Begging for forgiveness》Chapter 5

Cameron's POV
I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and just got off the phone to Keiran. He had purchased the twin donkey bugaboo pram for me and I was so grateful yet so annoyed at him for spending that money. He told me it was a gift to his nieces. He also brought me the car capsules that attach to the pram. I was a sobbing mess on the phone to him. He assured me that it was nothing.
We spoke for a while before he warned me that Keith had hired a private investigator to search for something. He wasn't sure what but that was the first time he had said anything to me about Keith. He had never once mentioned him before the entire time since I left the city and Keith. I thought nothing of it to be honest. He had moved on and I was to busy to dwell on what happened. I needed to focus on myself and the twins. Keith was in the past and once we reached the 1 year and 1 day mark we could be legally divorced.
I got off the phone to Keiran and finished up the order I was working on. By the time I was finished it was close to 7.30pm and I was beyond exhausted. I was still living with my parents and they had been the best of help to me. I didn't know how I was going to repay them at all.
We had decided the granny flat downstairs at my parents place, would be turned into my room and the nursery because it would be easier being downstairs with newborn babies by myself getting them to and from the car and it also had more room to fit everything in. I would still be upstairs with the babies when someone could help me up there and we would be having our meals upstairs but this way not everyone would have to be up during the night when the twins were up. Dad still had work and I didn't think it was fair for him to be disturbed all the time with me having to feed in the middle of the night.

We had painted the downstairs and set it up with a microwave, fridge, rocking chair, a queen bed for me, change table, two cots and two chest of draws. There was also room for a couch and TV which I had yet to order. My brother and dad had started to put everything together for me just incase. I had also been buying nappies and wipes with each grocery shop so I had a stash when the babies arrived.
I locked up my work space with Sage and then we both headed out, Sage lived near blueys beach and like most kids out here had her own car. I headed off home and dragged myself upstairs. I was going to eat dinner and then shower before falling into bed. When I got upstairs my parents were watching the news. "Cam, have you heard the news tonight?" Dad asked me. "Nope I'm exhausted, had a massive order to finish. I'm going to eat, shower then head to bed" I replied. Just then my brother came running up the back stairs to my parents house bursting into the room. "Cameron you need to see the news" he said before going onto my parents computer and getting onto whatever he wanted me to see.
I walked over and there on the screen was Keith. "Why do I need to see this?" I asked. "Just watch" Phil replied. "Keith is it true you found out that Sarah orchestrated the entire scandal causing you to seperate from your wife after you allegedly assaulted her?" Asked a reporter. "Sarah did in fact orchestrate the entire thing" he replied. "Keith is it true your wife is pregnant with your child and you have no idea where she is or how the baby is?" Another reported asked. "I am unsure if she is pregnant or not. She did inform me she was pregnant before we seperated but I am unsure how or if the pregnancy progressed" he stated.

"Keith our sources say she is in fact very much pregnant with your child however you have signed your rights away to any child she is to birth. What do you have to say about that? Also where is your wife now? Are you still in the process of getting a divorce?" A report asked. "We are not getting divorced. I love my wife very much. This has all been a misunderstanding that's all" he replied.
I slammed the computer shut. "A misunderstanding? Ha. He has got to be kidding. The divorce will be going ahead. I can't deal with this now I'm going to shower and go to bed" I say before heading up to the bathroom. I'm no longer hungry.
I take my time in the shower. My back is killing me and the water seems to be helping. I sing to
my babies while showering which makes them settle down and stop moving so much. They are always so active and it can be painful, there isn't much more room in there so I often get a kick in the ribs which hurts.
Twin 2 is also laying on my spine which can be painful. Tonight I know I'll be using the wheat bag to place on my lower back. I usually reheat the bag during the night on one of my many toilet trips. Twins on your bladder isn't the most fun especially when it wakes you at least three times a night. Once out of the shower I head to my room grabbing my wheat pack and heading to the kitchen to warm it up. I hear my phone ringing in my room but I couldn't be bothered going to answer it. I say goodnight to my family again who are deep in conversation before heading up to bed.
I check my phone and see it's Keiran who called me but I'm way to exhausted to have a conversation with him now. I get into bed cuddling my body mate pillow and tuck my wheat pack into the back of my pants so it's is resting on my lower back before trying to get some much needed sleep. I have tomorrow off so I don't need to set and alarm. I plan on sleeping most of tomorrow because carrying two babies is exhausting as hell. I soon doze off and I welcome the sleep.

The Merchant Prince Book 1: Returning Home
Enter a world of deceit and assassins. Augustus DeCastellian is a member of a wealthy merchant family, with ports all over the known world. He is sent on a voyage to new lands to open trade routes, but when he returns he will need to fight, using his tools of manipulation and cunning, for what he is owed.Author's note: This story is somewhat slow-paced, especially in comparison to the norm on Royal Road. The first three chapters act almost as a prologue, to give you a feel for what the rest of the story will be like. So, I suggest new readers try to get to the end of chapter 3 before deciding if this story is for them.A few of my reviews have said that this story is abnormal for Royal Road. I agree with that sentiment, at least based on what I've read on the site. It was just an idea that was in my head, that I began trying to write once my hobbies were cancelled due to the virus. I found Royal Road after I started writing it. Honestly, it's probably not even tailored for the web-novel format. But it's the story I wanted to tell. Discord: https://discord.gg/sk63gep
8 298The Prince of Cats
To stay alive, Jawad must succeed where all others have failed: he must catch the Prince of Cats. More legend than man, the Prince is draped in rumours. He can steal the silver teeth from your mouth in the blink of a smile. He is a ghost to walls and vaults, he laughs at locks, and Jawad must capture him before powerful people lose their patience and send the young rogue to the scaffold.Ever the opportunist, Jawad begins his hunt while carrying out his own schemes. He pits the factions of the city against each other, lining his own pockets in the process and using the Prince as a scapegoat. This is made easy as nobody knows when or where the Prince will strike, or even why.As plots collide, Jawad finds himself pressured from all sides. Aristocrats, cutthroats, and the Prince himself is breathing down his neck. Unless Jawad wants a knife in his back or an appointment with the executioner, he must answer three questions: Who is the Prince of Cats, what is his true purpose, and how can he be stopped? The Prince of Cats is set in the same world as my other fiction, The Eagle's Flight, but the two stories are not connected. The full story has been uploaded. Information and a map of the city can be found here. There is also an interactive storybook app inspired by The Prince of Cats. The full story can be played for free. Download for Android or for iPhone.

Even though she was never meant to. This a world of fantasy. Magic exists, marvelous creatures roam the lands. But in no way is this reality fantastical, magical, or forgiving.

8 202Magic can be good... (Jeffmads-Hamilton Modern Au, [I DONT OWN THE ART])
Everyone is born with a tattoo. The design represents what kind of powers you have. The white tattoos represent light magic, and the black represent black or dark magic. Black magic is very rare to get, and is very rare. Thomas Jefferson however, got "lucky" with getting this black magic. Everyone assumes that people with black magic are bad people. James Madison, has a light tattoo, but his powers have yet to reveal itself. Jefferson and Madison are going to the same college, with Jefferson's twin brother and his friends. (Lafayette[twin], Hercules, Alexander, and John.) Black Magic has always seemed bad to Jefferson, and Magic in general always seems bad to Madison. Can magic ever be good?
