"Alright River, you want some spaghetti?" I asked from the kitchen as she was playing with a few toys in the living room.
She came running over and climbed onto one of the stools. After I cut up the noodles a little bit, I slid the bowl over to her. She grabbed a fork and began to turn it around the noodles.
She immediately got a bunch of spaghetti sauce around her lips, which made me chuckle. I, too ate some of the noodles from my own bowl.
I heard the garage door open and was a little confused. It was a little before 5pm, which is a little early for Ethan to be home, but who else would it be.
I waited for the door to open and in walked Ethan. He placed his keys down on the table and tossed his jacket on the top of the couch.
"What're you doing here?" I asked and walked over to him.
He put his arms around me and kissed my nose. "Wanted to spend time with my two favorite ladies." He walked over to River and kissed her head.
I lightly smiled and crossed my arms as I saw him sit down next to her. It made my heart warm up when I saw how Ethan reacted with little kids.
I walked back over to island and finished eating my spaghetti.
"What did you two do today?" He asked us. River just smiled and continued to eat her food, like she was a little nervous.
"We played with some toys and we did some laundry, very fun." I smiled at River. "Isn't that right?"
"Yeah, we also talked about mommy's belly." She jumped a little.
My smile completely faded. For all we know this could be a false rumor, we're basing our knowledge off of a little girl. I just didn't want anyone else to know.

Ethan made eye contact with me and his jaw was dropped a little bit.
"But we aren't telling daddy so shh." She turned to him and shushed him.
"Your mommy and daddy are having another baby?" Ethan sat up and smiled at me. Obviously he didn't know the possible truth.
"Ethan." I said with no smile. He looked to me and looked confused. "A word?" I walked towards the front door. He followed until we were far enough from River.
"Don't worry, we'll get a baby soon." He put his hand on my arm.
"What?" I shook my head confused.
"I know they're having another kid but-"
"No, Ethan, that's not it." I cut him off. "I don't think it's Grayson's."
"What?"
"Vivian-I think she cheated on him."
"That doesn't make sense, Jordyn. He just doesn't know about it, she hasn't told him yet."
"Ethan, I'm serious about this." I grabbed his hand. "You didn't hear the way she talked about it, I seriously think Vivian did some bad shit."
"She wouldn't do that." He shook his head.
"You don't know that. What if she did? Do we tell him or just wait until she has the baby?"
"We don't even know if she did cheat, babe." He lightly smiled to get me out of this crazy spiral. "We shouldn't assume these things about her."
I looked down at the ground and nodded. "You're right. Sorry."
We both walked over to River again and she had no idea that we even left. She was just about done with her dinner though.
It was still in my mind about Vivian. That crazy thought was never going to leave, no matter how much Ethan tried to deny it.
"Should we watch TV?" Ethan asked River and she immediately ran over to the living room. Ethan looked up at me as I smiled.

He switched the TV to the kids channel and she was already interested. I walked into the kitchen to clean up the dishes since I had some time.
I turned back around to the others and smiled when I saw River sitting in Ethan's lap. I grabbed a hand towel and dried my hands off.
My attention was switched from the joy when a few knocks hit the front door. Ethan turned his head over his shoulder.
"I'll get it." I walked towards the door and opened it to reveal Grayson.
"Hi." He smiled.
"Hey, come in." I opened the door more and he walked in towards the living room.
"How was she?" He asked.
"She was perfect." We reached the living room and River saw her dad.
"Daddy!!" She ran up to Grayson and wrapped her arms around his legs.
"Hi, honey." He smiled. "Were you good for uncle Ethan and aunt Jordyn?" He asked and she nodded. "Good." He put his hand on her head.
Ethan stood up off of the couch and walked over to me. He put his arm around my shoulder.
"Hey," Grayson knelt down to her. "Why don't you go pick up your toys and put them back in your bag?" She nodded her head and ran over to the living room.
Grayson stood back up and let out a sigh.
"Thanks again for taking care of her. It's been a little chaotic at home." He rubbed his forehead.
I looked up to Ethan and he did the exact same thing to me.
"Vivian's been having a lot of long nights at work, so it's been just me taking care of her in the evening and at night."
"Um..." I started to say. "How long as this been going on for?"
"Two to three months probably." He shrugged his shoulders and River came right back to him. "Got everything packed?" He looked down at her and she nodded.
"I'll walk you out." Ethan said and walked them both towards the front door.
I stood in the same spot, in shock.
"We'll see you soon." Ethan said after saying the last goodbye's to his brother. He closed the front door and walked over to me.
"Ethan." I said and turned to him. "Two to three months... She has to be pregnant."
"We don't know that." He shook his head and held my arms.
"Why else would Vivian say that it was a mistake and Grayson can't ever know about it?"
"She's probably just surprising him." He shrugged his shoulders
"With someone else's baby? Yeah that's gonna get him good."
"Jordyn, come on." He smiled and tugged on my hands. "Vivian isn't like that, she wouldn't do that to Grayson."
"You don't know that." I groaned. "I just don't want Grayson to get hurt again." I swung our hands back and forth.
"Come here." Ethan smiled and pulled into his chest and swayed side to side. "Grayson's a big boy, he can take care of himself."
I lightly grinned. "I can't help but worry." I put my chin on his chest and looked up at him.
"I know. That's your biggest issue." He joked and squeezed me tighter. "Just don't worry about it too much, alright? Just think about some baby names for our future one." He pulled away and smiled.
My eyes followed him and my lips turned into a smile.

Adagio of the Enlightened
The Elders will tell you the stories and lore. Of our ancestors, their deeds, and of the foes of yore. They will praise to you the chariot, and how it flew to the stars. How it stole the sun's light and slew the night’s roar.The Shamans will tell you the tales of their wisdom. Their wars on schism, and the unlettered world of ours before.

Poems of how our ancestors took what the discs had offered them, the manna and the mundane, and made it more.The kings will tell you of the follies, the sins, and the anecdotes of all our ancestors' wrongs. They will curse to you their names, the Ender of Fate and the Ruined Song. How they had dug up the hearts of the discs, euchred its relics, and blasphemed its prophecies, with oracles withdrawn.But they will only tell you the legends, recount the myths, and sing the allegories washed ashore.The Elders, the Shamans, and the kings can only retell what the storytellers of their own time had voiced. What they have read in books or heard in the minstrels' songs they adore.They don't know what really happened. They were never there.They can't tell you how our ancestors slew the angels from the sky, and sent them back to where they belonged. How they poisoned our minds, and made our people slothful and feeble, with the reforms they had undergone.But I can.I can tell you how the Ender of Fate severed destiny's strings, weakened them, and weaved them to our feeble flesh and souls.I can tell you how the Ruined song razed the heavens with her blood-stained melody, and reshaped our hell into utopia, with the deaths she deplored.Because I was there. I can tell you the truth, with my virtue strong. ----> Disclaimer: This will be a slow-burn, character-driven, non-harem, slice-of-life web novel with cultivation and kingdom-building elements.
