《Silver》41

Silver's POV
It was about an hour later and everybody sat in the living room. Ethan had called Ashton and told him I was back. At first he thought Ethan was just playing a cruel joke on him until I spoke up. As soon as my voice fell upon his ears he burst into tears, phone clattering to the ground. After a few minutes of tension, the phone was picked up and another male voice filtered through the speaker. I later found out that it had been Marco, Ethan's head of security.
They had said they'd be here as fast as they could. Which according to Ashton, 'wouldn't be soon enough'. That brought out a round of tense laughter. Ashton had always been the impatient one.
It wasn't much longer after the phone had been hung up that a yawning Aidden came thudding out of his room. I can't express exactly how happy I was to see my son, safe and healthy, in that moment. For the longest time I sat on the floor crying as I clutched Aidden, Rhys, and Jasmine to my chest. My heart was overfilled with my love and happiness. Ethan had just watched us with tear clouded eyes. I don't think he knew what to do in that situation but that was fine with me. All I cared about was that we were all safe within the confines of this house.
Now, nearly an hour later, we all sat in the living room. Marco and Ashton sat on a sofa against the wall. Ethan sat in a chair he had pulled up to his coffee table. While Rhys, Jasmine and me sat on his couch that outlined the opposite side of the table, mirroring the sofa. Aidden refused to leave my side so he lay asleep in my lap.

It was Marco who finally broke the silence.
"Tell us what happened, please."
So I did just that. I explained how I had been abducted from the false hospital when I woke up. I explained how Rhys had treated me and presented to explain how he got caught up in the mess.
"Ethan, I have something I need to tell you. But first I must ask," I began suddenly worried about how he would take the news of three more children. "Would you be willing to add three more kids to your family?"
"Who are you talking about? Rhys and Jasmine?" He asked, looking slightly confused looking between the two.
"Yeah. Rhys and Jasmine." I evaded looking down slightly as I drew in a deep breath. "And another baby."
Ethan began choking on air as he inhaled his breath slightly too fast. His face turned whiter than his walls as he tried to steady his breathing. "You mean?" he whispered, looking at me in shock.
"I'm pregnant, Ethan" I confirmed blinking rapidly trying to make the tears stop falling.
"I'm going to be a dad again?" He asked, looking slightly lost as his gaze fell towards my stomach. Slowly he made his way from the chair to my side. Grabbing Aidden he gently moves him over until he can grab me, pulling me to stand by him.
"Yes. If you'll have us." I replied gently separating us so I could properly look in his eyes.
"What do you mean, 'If you'll have us'? Of course I want you guys!" He exclaimed frowning as he looked down in confusion.
"I mean all of us." I explained, gesturing to Rhys. Jasmine, Aidden, and myself. If he couldn't accept Rhys and Jasmine into the family then he wouldn't get any of us. I couldn't let them leave after all they risked to help me.

"Silver," Ethan began stopping briefly as Ashton and Marco made their way out of the room, effectively giving us privacy. "If taking Jasmine and Rhys as my children is what it takes to make a family with you then I will do that. It just makes our family that much bigger. And I don't mind the extra children to feed or take care of. These two have done more to help you since you were kidnapped than I could. And to me that means everything. I would take in all the children in the world, if it meant you would stay by my side."
"I get that I may not be saying this correctly and I apologize. I'm not saying that I won't love these two, I'm just saying that as long as you are with me I will be able to handle them. Because as long as you have faith that I will be a good father, then I will be fine. Your confidence in me is all I need to get through the changes of more children."
I felt the tears I had been suppressing fall gently from my eyes. "Oh Ethan." I silently comment before throwing myself into his arms.
Hugging him to me I couldn't help but feel pride well up inside me. Within the last few months, Ethan had grown into such a good father. He adapted to having a child to take care of and juggling his whole life in such a short amount of time.
Turning to Rhys and Jasmine I embrace them too. I felt their happiness as they pulled me closer. Finally they had a family after everything that had happened. Rhys was the first to pull back and as I saw the look upon his face I grew worried.
"What are we going to do about Boss though?" Rhys demanded, scared as his face clouded over. "I don't mean to ruin this happy moment but I also don't want to get my hopes up too high before they get shattered around me."
"Let me worry about that...son." Ethan persists, grabbing his shoulder in a calm manner. "I will make sure that he never harms you or anyone in our family again."
"How?" He demanded looking dubious.
"Well, if you could give us a name I can make sure he never sees the light of day again." Marco's voice filtered throughout the room as he suddenly made his appearance known to us again.

Embrace the Blade
Born crippled, it was no surprise when James Ransom died young, but he was offered an opportunity - a mission: to go to a new world and become strong enough to kill the hidden boss behind the final boss. Now in a new world he must research and study the system to take advantage of it, find his strengths; form alliances and find party members to become strong enough to face the end. This story does use Multiple perspectives and tells stories that add to the MC's. I've been given this feedback enough that I feel the need to mention that growth (levels, skills, classes, etc.) is slow, intentionally so, but constant. Credit for the cover goes to a commission for KemptBones from DeviantArt for the cover. This book is a rewrite of the original Embrace the Blade. The timeline for this one is completely separate and you do not need to read the original to understand what is going on. If you want to check out the original you can find it here (just a warning that they are NOT good): ETB Drafts 1&2 If you came here from the original EtB, WELCOME!!

Living as a Demon
Jonathan was living the life of a normal human male in modern-day society, until he was rudely awakened one night by a summoning circle that ripped him out of his reality and dumped him into a new world filled with magic, demons, and…mouthy young orphan girls?! Now Jonathan must navigate the trials of playing guardian to a preteen, learning to unlock his inner demon, and somehow managing to find a dang pair of pants! Welcome! I'm E.O. Tenkey; thank you for considering Living as a Demon, my third released work here on Royal Road (following Not a Manga and Mr. Familiar)! Let's set some expectations, shall we? • Not much hard profanity (chapter 1 is the exception!)• Human MC! Our protagonist is a bona fide homo sapiens. Which is not to say there won't be demons, demonic powers, and what-have-you, but this isn't some grimdark exploration of the life and times of a nihilistic, amoral killing machine.• Slice of life. My previous works always ended up there, so might as well get ahead of the curve!• Weekly updates, and a completed story: I will post a single chapter per week on Wednesdays until the story is complete (extra chapters are rare, but do happen).
