《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.

Planet-Eater Reincarnation (in Star Wars)
He wakes up without being able to see, taste or hear. Or even smell! But, after developing an eye for himself, he's able to recognize two facts: one, he is no longer human, and two, he's not on Earth anymore. He's in the middle of an asteroid field, stuck on a moderately large one with nothing around him but endless space. Heck, he's not even in the solar system! And now it's up to him to grow larger and stronger in order to avoid being eaten. Going by the leviathan-sized creatures swimming about the asteroid field, he has a long way to go before he can so much as try to live calmly. ---- Don't let the fanfiction tag scare you off. This only barely takes place in that universe since I like the basics of the lore and nothing more. It will barely feature a single prominent character, and the focus will mostly just be on the main character trying to grow himself out of danger, in the meantime denying the very idea that he could possibly be lonely. The first few dozen chapters will entirely focus on him growing from almost a gnat all the way to a real asteroid-eater. After that, an actual story will appear. Got the idea when I was reading the 2017 Darth Vader comic and my mind suddenly flashed back to that scene in the original trilogy when they're in some asteroid field and almost get eaten by a big monster. I loved that scene, and my inhibitions will no longer chain me. Enjoy, but don't take this too seriously.

Moonlight
Three powers were discovered and harnessed so that they could be controlled. These powers are required to keep the planet alive, and need human bearers to focus and amplify their individual powers, but at what cost to their bearers? Power over the elements, controlling the flow of time, and dictating life and death are the powers that three young adults wield in Moonlight, but their lives will be changed forever. Moonlight follows the stories of Claire, Jayden, and Seraphine, as they learn to control these powers that desire to consume them. Author Notes: Hello! This isn't my first attempt at writing a story, and it isn't even my first attempt at writing this particular story, but I'm not in any way what I would call "experienced". I decided to upload my writing here because I just wanted to get my ideas out there, and I wanted to get some constructive criticism for my writing from the RRL community. All comments are welcome, but please try to keep them positive and constructive! If you leave a rating, I would appreciate it if you left a short explanation of what you liked and what I can improve on. I'll be uploading each chapter as I finish them, but this is still the first draft so anything and everything is subject to change. The cover art is drawn by me, but I'm in no way married to it. I just wanted something that showed the three magical sources, as I picture them in my head. If you do any art based on this story, send it to me! I would love to see it. I'll stop talking now, I hope you enjoy the story!
