"Teddy? Can I speak to you a second?" Stella whispered, pulling him aside.
"Of course!"
"You know the way we... you know... did it last week?"
Laurie narrowed his eyes. "Yes?"
"I'm pregnant and it's all your fault." Stella slapped her husbands chest.
"Ow- wait what?"
Stella nodded, before being swept off her feet and into the arms of her favourite dark haired man. (Don't tell Dennis)
"I'm going to be a father?" He whispered, his voice full of happiness.
"Yeah, you are." Stella laughed.
"We have to tell everyone."

"I hate you!" Stella screamed at Laurie, sweaty and crying.
"Love you too! It's all going to be okay, Elle. It's all going to be fine."
"I'm never having sex with you again! You're a total hedge creeper!" Stella exclaimed.
"Stella!" Marmee scolded.
_____________
"Oh my God!" Stella whispered, the baby small and resemblant to a potato.
"Come here!" Stella urged Teddy.
"You don't hate me anymore, huh?" He whispered.
"Never did." She grinned.
"Have you decided on a name yet?" Marmee asked the new parents.
"Elizabeth Louisa Laurence. Bess for short." Teddy said, and Stella looked at Beth with a small smile on her face.

"I can't believe you wrote a book about us!" Amy laughed excitedly.
"Jesus, Meg how did you do this with two of these potatoes?" Jo handed her niece back to the mother.
"I can't believe she left me the house!" Stella exclaimed, referring to her recently deceased aunt. "I thought she hated me!"
"She could hate you but still leave you the house." Jo suggested.
"What about you and John?" Stella looked to Meg.
"No, I don't need a grand estate." Meg laughed.

"Amy? What about you and Dennis?"
Amy shook her head. Stella looked at Beth, but she quickly turned it down.
"Right then. I want to do something that will make Aunt March turn in her grave."
"I wouldn't mind it." Meg giggled.
Stella looked at her daughter. "What do you- a school!"
Stella looked at Jo excitedly, then she exclaimed again, "A school!"
"A school?" Meg asked.
"Yes! I'd like to open a school! We never had a proper school and now there are women's colleges opening- there should be a school! For Bess, and for Daisy."
"And what will Demi do?"
"I'll open a school for girls and boys both."
______________
Dear Beth,
I'm so glad you're having fun at music school! You'll have to tell me more about this fellow you met, you can't just leave me hanging.
I can't wait for your return, Bess misses her aunt.
With love,
Stels.

Dr. Z's Zombie Apocalypse
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Doctor Abraham Henry Zolnikov has spent the last seven years isolated in his orbital laboratory, watching the Earth below descend into chaos.

Human civilization fell in a matter of weeks. There has been no indication of any living survivors on Earth's surface for over two years. As far as he knows, he is the last living human in the entire solar system. Then one day the power begins to fail on the space station he’s called home for over a decade.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
