mackenzie and johnny are still happily married. they have great kids, 4 year old cole and 2 year old twins, raylan and rielan.
they moved to mackenzie's childhood home back in pittsburgh after the twins were born, and they're as happy as they can be.
johnny is a band teacher at the local middle school, and mackenzie works as a dance teacher, and owns her own dance studio.
they're 25 now, and they're very happy with their lives. they've decided to go on a second honeymoon. lauren and maddie, the best aunts ever, are watching the kids.
oh, by the way, lauren has a daughter named avery. she's 3 and the family adores her.
back to the honeymoon plans. they've decided to fly to maui, and island in hawaii, for a week. they've rented a cabana on the beach, all their bags are packed, and they're heading out the door right now.
✧✧✧
in hawaii
✧✧✧
"this is gorgeous!" mackenzie she exclaims when they get out of the airport and see the view.
"just like you." johnny winks, making mackenzie laugh.
"that's so cliche." she says, still laughing.
"but you love me." he smiles.
"i do." she says, softly kissing his lips.
they walk down the streets until they find a taxi. once they flag one down, they are driven to their cabana.
"thank you." kenzie thanks the driver as she pays.
"you're welcome, beautiful lady. here's my number if you want more rides." the driver says, smirking and handing kenzie a piece of paper.
"uh, what?" johnny says.
"i'm so sorry, but your sister here is very beautiful." the driver tells johnny.
"that's my husband." kenzie says, enunciating the word husband.
johnny looked ready to beat the drivers ass, and the driver could see it. he rolled up the windows and drove off, leaving johnny and kenzie alone on the streets with their luggage.
johnny was almost purple with anger, and kenzie was holding in her laughter. johnny angrily grabbed both of their suitcases and stomped into the cabana. he went into the bedroom and plopped down onto the bed facefirst.
"don't you want to go to the beach?" kenzie asked, coming through the door and closing it.
"i don't feel like it." johnny said, only the sound was muffled by the bed that was in the way.
"do you wanna go get food?" she asked, sitting down on the bed next to him.
"no." he says sadly.
"what's the matter with you?" kenzie asks obliviously.
"that's like the fifth time that some guy has flirted with you in front of me while we've been married!" johnny exclaims, removing his face from the bed and looking at kenzie and frowning.
"it's not like i can help it." kenzie replies, reaching out to rub his back.
he swats her hand away and rolls over so that his back is facing her.
her jaw drops and she gasps.
"i'm- i'm sorry? i didn't do anything johnny!" she whispers.
"hmm." he grumbles.
"why are you mad at me?" she asks.
they've never really fought before. when they did, it was stupid fights about what restaurants to eat at and what tv shows to watch.
"johnny?" she says, shaking him.
"stop." he says sharply.
she feels her eyes fill with tears and she gets up and grabs her bags. she brings them to the living room, and starts to organize all of her things. she only notices the tears running down her face when one of them drips onto the shirt she was folding.

she grabs shoes and her phone and walks out the glass door and out onto the beach.
she calls lauren, her best friend, and rants about her problem. lauren is sympathetic and gives kenzie advice.
✧✧✧
meanwhile...
✧✧✧
in their cabana, johnny is mentally beating himself up. he could hear her sobs from the bedroom, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.
he doesn't like to share kenzie. he always feels that when she sees another guy, she might start to like him more than she likes johnny. he didn't want to hurt her, but he was to upset to realize what he was doing in the moment. he loves her too much to let her go.
"god, why am i so stupid!" he yells as he thinks over what just happened. just then, his phone screen lights up with a call from lauren. he wearily picks up.
"hi lauren." he says.
"what the fuck were you thinking?" lauren yells through the phone.
"i'm sorry." he says.
"by the way, maddie's here, and she's listening to all of this. also, she's not happy with you." lauren informs him.
it's a great thing that he's in hawaii, otherwise his ass would be grass by now. maddie's taken the role of 'protective older sister' of kenzie during their whole relationship, so he knows that she's likely to kill him.
"okay." he says meekly.
"why the hell would you swat her away, why are you acting like an asshole?" maddie yells into the phone.
"madison! are my children listening to you cuss?" johnny yells.
"no. they're taking naps. now, back to you being a bitch." maddie says.
"i don't like sharing her! the taxi driver gave kenzie his number and called her my sister! that's not even the first time a random guy has flirted with her in front of me!" johnny says, almost crying.
"why do you have to be so harsh? she's out crying on the beach because of you!" lauren yells.
"i'm scared that she'll fall for one of those guys! i don't want to lose her! i love her so much and i can't imagine my life if i had never met her!" johnny yells back.
"well that's sweet." kenzies voice says from behind johnny.
he jerks his head back to look at her and sees her. her cheeks are tear stained and red, and her shoes are sandy.
johnny jumps off of the bed and wraps her into a hug. she throws her arms around him and they hug for awhile, each of them crying. johnny rests his chin on top of kenzies head, and kenzies presses her cheek into johnnys chest.
"i'm so sorry kenz." johnny whispers, his voice full of guilt.
"i'm sorry too. i didn't realize that you felt that way." kenzie whispers back.
"johnny? johnny?!" they realize that johnnys phone is still on the call with lauren and maddie.
johnny picks up his phone and ends the call.
"i guess you already heard me explain." johnny says.
"yes. very cute by the way." kenzie laughs.
and they're back to how they were before the fight.
✧✧✧
an hour later
✧✧✧
"johnny!" kenzie screams.
johnny is currently holding kenzie above the ocean water. she says she doesn't want to get her hair wet because she doesn't want to have to do her hair again before they go to dinner. they're going out to a fancy, romantic restaurant.
"what?" he asks, walking farther out into the ocean.

"please don't drop me!" she pleads.
"i don't know... maybe if you kiss me i'll think about it." he smiles slyly.
"fine." she smiles.
they lean in and connect their lips. kenzie pulls away first.
"no! that was barely a kiss!" johnny protests.
"it's not like me can make out right here." kenzie says, gesturing to all of the little kids around them.
"fair point. let's go back to the cabana." johnny suggests.
kenzie nods, and johnny carries her back to the shore. they pack up their things and walk the 20 steps from the beach to their cabana.
the get inside and johnny locks the door. then he turns to kenzie and of course, their long awaited make out begins. (there also may or may not have been more than making out, if you know what i mean. *wink wink* )
✧✧✧
the next morning
✧✧✧
kenzie wakes up to johnny leaving gentle kisses on her face.
"finally, the princess is awake." he jokes.
"how long have you been up?" kenzie asks.
"10 minutes." johnny says.
"oh." kenzie answers.
"what should we do today?" johnny asks, getting up.
"i don't know." kenzie says.
"me neither." johnny replies.
"i kinda just want to stay here and cuddle." kenzie says quietly.
"what?" johnny asks, not hearing her.
"we should stay here." kenzie says.
"and do what?" johnny asks.
"cuddle." kenzie repeats.
"sounds good to me." johnny says, getting back into the bed and turning the tv on.
the rest of the morning is spent watching hallmark movies, which make them either laugh or cry.
around noon, johnny gets hungry.
"let's go buy tons of junk food." johnny says, pulling kenzie out of the bed. she laughs and grabs her shoes. they flag down a taxi, thankfully this driver didn't flirt with kenzie.
they get out at a target, and they walk in and head to the candy aisle. kenzie grabs chocolate candy and fruity candy bags and dumps them into the cart. johnny watches and laughs at her. next they go into the chip aisle and johnny grabs doritos and pretzels.
after walking around the store, they check out. once they pay and all of their food is bagged, they find another taxi and go back to their cabana.
"i'm starving!" kenzie exclaims, opening the bag of doritos and taking a bite of one.
they spend the rest of the day watching more movies and at one point they both fell asleep.
✧✧✧
the last day
✧✧✧
"the end of our second honeymoon is here." kenzie says sadly as they pack up all of their luggage back into their suitcases.
"it was fun." johnny says.
"i can't wait to see the kids." kenzie replies.
"me neither." johnny says.
✧✧✧
home.
✧✧✧
"mommy!" yells rielan once kenzie walks into their house.
(rielan is pronounced ry-lan if you're confused)
"rie!" kenzie exclaims, scooping up her daughter in her arms.
"dad!" cole yells, running from the living room.
he's followed by maddie, lauren, who's carrying a sleeping raylan.
"how was the honeymoon?" maddie asks as she hugs kenzie.
"hawaii is just as gorgeous as i imagined." kenzie tells her.
"it was lots of fun." johnny said.
"i'm assuming you guys worked out your fight? you never called us again after johnny hung up on me." lauren says.
"yes, we did." kenzie tells her, looking over at johnny and smiling.
"well, we're gonna go. you guys are gonna stay with your mommy and daddy." maddie says in her voice that she uses to talk to babies.
"bye aunt maddie!"'cole says, hugging maddie.
"bye aunt lauren." he says and hugs lauren.
rielan can barely talk, so her words were mispronounced.
"bye aunties!" she yells.
raylan is still sleeping in laurens arms, so she hands her to johnny.
"see you guys!" maddie yells as she and lauren walk out the door.
and then the orlando family is alone.
✧✧✧
a year later...
✧✧✧
"happy birthday to you!" the crowd sings.
it's raylan and rielan's 3rd birthday party. the theme is fairies, so all the decor includes fairies of some sort.
"can i have cake now mommy?" raylan says, pulling on kenzies sleeve. all of the adults laugh and kenzie nods.
"of course." kenzie says, cutting a piece of cake.
after everyone is served their cake, johnny pulls kenzie aside.
"what?" kenzie asks.
"i love you." johnny says, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"and i love you." kenzie replies. "by the way, there's something i need to tell you and everyone else."
"what? what happened?" johnny asks worriedly.
"not now. later." kenzie says, smiling.
"mommy! i want to open presents!" rielan yells from across the room.
✧✧✧
later...
✧✧✧
"everyone, there's something i need to tell you all." kenzie says loudly.
everyone becomes quiet and johnny goes and stands by kenzie.
"i'm pregnant." kenzie says happily.
johnny hadn't known before kenzies announcement, so he was in shock. kenzie studied his reaction, scared that he'd be upset. the rest of the family shares their excitement, while johnny is still in shock.
"really?" he asks, his face breaking into a huge grin.
"yes." kenzie says.
"that's great!" lauren yells.
"a baby?" rielan asks maddie.
"yes! a baby!" maddie yells her.
"is it a girl?" raylan asks.
"we don't know yet." jack tells her.
"i want a brother." cole tells johnny.
"we don't get to decide, buddy." johnny says, crouching down to coles size.
"but there's too many girls!" cole whines.
"but they're beautiful girls." johnny tells him.
"ew! girls are gross!" cole yells.
the whole crowd heard him and started laughing.
✧✧✧
that night...
✧✧✧
"i'm so tired." kenzie says, yawning.
"go to sleep then." johnny says, kissing her forehead.
"okay. goodnight, johnny." kenzie says, closing her eyes.
"goodnight beautiful." johnny says.
a few minutes later, kenzie is fast asleep. johnny hasn't fell asleep yet.
their bedroom door opens, revealing raylan, rielan, and cole.
"daddy?" cole whispers.
"what buddy?" johnny replies.
"we wanna sleep in here." rielan says.
"okay, climb up here." johnny tells them, patting a spot on the bed.
they all climb up.
"we have to be quiet, so that we don't wake mommy up." johnny tells them.
when they all fall asleep, the twins curled up against kenzie and cole laying close to johnny, he looks at them and smiles.
"my beautiful family." he thinks to himself.
and he falls asleep, smiling.

The Monster Inside: The First Vampire
Despite appearances, there was once a time where monsters did not exist. Where peace and prosperity reigned over all life. But those sinful and demonic forces that had hidden themselves in the shadows just couldn't help themselves could they? They wanted a piece of that prosperity too. They wanted to taint it, corrupt it, revel in its dark side.This is the story of a boy who was tainted. Of a boy who unintentionally bore a seed of sin and who in his naivety let it out. This is the story of how that boy was shamed and disgraced. Of how he was outcast for simply being. This is the story of how that boy learned to embrace the darkness that made him different. A darkness that would later make him known as the Lord of Night. Note to Reader: I understand this book is not for everyone, if there is a writer that can write to please everyone, I have never heard of them. The MC can be frustrating in his decisions as he learns to grow and accept what and who he is. I believe this reality is unavoidable. That being said, if you feel the need to give a review, please do so, just know that I will report you if all that review seems to do is blab toxic language and insult my literary choices without giving constructive advice or alternatives. That's not just a me policy, that's a policy of this website. I'm not writing this note because I'm a writer who does not acknowledge that there are faults in my work. I know there are. That's what happens when it hasn't been professionally edited by someone other than the author. I'm saying this because I'm sick of reading 1 star or 0.5 star rated reviews that seem to do nothing but hate on the book because they don't like the story. No comments on grammar, ways to improve or suggestions for better story arcs. Just plain hate. It's not on, and I frankly shouldn't have to write this note, but needed to get it off my chest. In saying all that, thank you to those who do leave reviews that don't fall into the above category. Your appreciation of my work, or alternatively, your willingness to give advice for improvement, is appreciated.

Maitbudi
Fermboi was a man of one ideal: make the weak strong. When his rebellion against the king proved futile, he was given another chance at life. This time, he sought to do nothing after realizing the hopelessness of it all. Aventina wanted to do nothing more than to follow her father’s footsteps. On a retaliation raid against her tribe’s enemies, her brothers perished. Spared by a leader of her enemies, she returned home to find herself the chief of her tribe. Bolahulag, half-civilized and half-barbarian, half-lowborn and half-royal. Raised in his mother’s civilized tent in a sea of barbaric shelters, Bolahulag was hesitant to follow his paternal way of life. After a battle between a civilized king and his father, Bolahulag was sent as hostage to learn the economy and military of the nation his father defeated. Derai knew nothing more than being an orphan, but when a merchant took her in, the world she thought impossible soon became a reality. Monghe, stuck in a school exemplifying strength for most of his life, began to understand what he needed to do in order to be strong instead of weak. Story is mostly about nothing. Fermboi does most of the nothing. Aventina does most of the military things. Bolahulag does a balance of economy and military. Derai focuses on economy. Monghe spitfires what it means to be a typical hero. Hopefully this is enough to give a general idea to people who don’t like going blind aside from the work being purportedly “good.” Who am I kidding, my writing is terrible. I hope it improves though.
