《Unexpected》Day Off
Advertisement
I walk through the doors of the doctor’s office. It’s my first checkup and the one that will prove that, without a doubt, I am pregnant. Hunter was perfectly fine giving me a day off. Of course he was, he’s probably busy with his fiancée right now.
Oh yeah. I’m jealous.
I’m knocked up with his child and he’s still running around with Peni.
“Skye Knight?”
I stand up and follow the assistant back into the room. She has me sit on the exam table, checking my vitals. She makes an attempt at small talk, but I’m not in the mood. She finally gives up, walking out of the room to get the doctor. A young man with dark hair and striking blue eyes walks into the room.
“Hi, I’m Dr. Benson. How are you feeling today?”
He sits in the swiveling chair, looking through my chart.
“I’m doing fine, thank you.”
“So it looks like you are about two months along. I would like to see you back in a few weeks for your first ultrasound. If you have any problems, please contact me using the number on my card.”
He stands up to leave the room.
“Wait. That’s it? I took the entire day off just to figure out that I need t take ANOTHER day off in a few weeks?”
His eyes darken to a navy blue.
“Is there a problem with that?”
“I’m a maid for a billionaire. I can’t just ask for days off constantly.”
An understanding expression creeps onto his face.
“I can always make a discreet house call.”
“No. I’ll get a day off.”
I grab my belongings and push by him to exit the room, frustrated. I schedule my next appointment at the front desk before walking out into the chilly February air. The clock in the car reads ten thirty. What else should I do on my day off? Maybe Andy can sneak out and hang out with me. I pull out my phone, dialing her number.

“Hello?”
“Hey Andy. If you aren’t busy, do you want to hang out today? Go out to eat, maybe shop a little?”
I hear laughing in the background.
“I’m a little busy right now, what time do you want to meet later?”
I hear a male voice, talking low.
“I’m done at my appointment. I’m ready to hang out now.”
“Okay. I’ll leave in a minute. Where are we meeting?”
“The baby is making me hungry. How about the diner on Seventh? Half hour?”
“I’ll be there. See you then.”
I hang up but not before hearing a squeal from Andy’s mouth. Not a terrified one either.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
