《Silver》37

Rhys POV
Walking away from the small compound Silver is in I quickly make my way towards the store that is about a mile or so from where I live. A long walk, yes. But I was heading there anyway because I needed to get my sister, Jasmine a birthday present. She turns ten tomorrow and it will be the last time I get to see her for a while.
Boss thought it would be funny if he let me have my last moments with Jasmine while I was working for him. So while I guard Silver, making sure nobody goes in or out of her room, my sister is going to be in my rundown apartment by herself. I'm not going to spend much time with her before the Boss takes her with him on a business trip somewhere.
While I was thinking about my sister I had entered the store and made a beeline for the books. Jasmine loves reading. Doesn't matter what the genre is. If it has words and was published as a book, she'll read it. Scanning the book selections they have I pick out a book that has a female protagonist who fights her way through the book to save herself and her family.
Grabbing the book I went towards the pharmacy area of the store where all the health supplies were. Walking around for a little bit I finally found the pregnancy tests. Holy Moly! Why are there so many different kinds? Don't they all do the same thing?
I must have looked as lost as I felt. Because an older woman approached on my shoulder to gain my attention from where I was staring at the boxes of tests in confusion.
"Get this one." The woman said, handing me a pregnancy test that I had been looking at. "It's never told me or my daughters wrong."

Quickly thanking the women I rush towards the cashier with my head down. Ignoring the disappointed glances from the cashier I paid for the book and test and made my way back to my house.
"Rhys!" my little Jasmine, exclaimed as she ran up to me when I walked through the door of my house.
"Hey Sis." I smiled down at her tiny form with a loving smile.
"What is in the bag?" she peered at it curiously.
"Your birthday present." I smirked as she squealed in excitement.
"Can I have it?" She asked, looking at me with puppy eyes.
"Sure."
Watching her look at the book I got her was probably the highlight of my year. The excitement and gratitude she showed when she looked at the book I had bought her lightened up my dim life. I was so relieved that she liked the book I had gotten her. It meant a lot. I wasn't around her as often as I used to be so I didn't know exactly what she liked anymore.
Silver's POV
Rhys had come back around dinner time like he normally did. But when he served me today's dinner dish he also slipped me the pregnancy test box. Now I'm in the small bathroom waiting for the results.
Looking at the box I smile slightly. It was the same test that I used to find out about Aiddan.
*FLASHBACK*
"Silver! I got the pregnancy test!" Ashton exclaimed as he ran through the front door breathing heavily.
Smiling, I ask, "What's the rush?"
Ever since I had told Ashton that I hadn't got my period this month he had been bouncing off the walls with excitement. I mean you would think that I'd be the one with raging emotions but instead it's my twin brother.

"I want a niece or nephew!" He yelled, grinning from ear to ear. "Now get into that bathroom and take that test."
"Fine, fine, fine." I sighed but couldn't contain the small smile that appeared on my face at his antics.
After I did my business I sat on the closed toilet lid waiting for the results. Staring at the small white stick as time passes by. Slowly two small, pink lines appeared in the window of the stick.
"I'm-"
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"Pregnant." I breathed out.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!
