"...And this is the baby's heart." Dr. Bingham said as she pointed to the sonogram screen. Rachel squeezed Finn's hand.
"Finn, I can't believe that this is our baby? It's so tiny." Finn smiled at her and said,
"Well, you won't be thinking that in 7 more months." Rachel playfully hit him on the arm. Dr. Bingham smiled at them.
"Well, that's it. Just one more thing, do you want to know the sex of the baby?" The Doctor asked. Finn and Rachel looked at each other. Finn finally spoke up.
"I'm dying to know but Rachel wants to wait, so we'll just hold out for now."
"Great. It was nice seeing you and we'll see you in 2 months. Until then, just take it easy and rest."
"Thank you." Rachel said to the doctor as she left the room. Finn surprised Rachel and kissed her. The kiss lasted for a few moments till Rachel pulled away and said,
"What was that for?"
"For carrying our baby."
"Well, if that's what I get for being pregnant, I should do it more often!" Rachel smiled and kissed him again.
When they got home, Rachel took out a piece of paper and sat down in their TV room. She thought for a second before she began to write.
Dear Mom and Dad,
How are you guys? Finn and I are doing fine. I'm writing to tell you that you should be expecting your first grandchild in 7 months! Finn and I went for our first sonogram today and the baby is 100% healthy. I'm so excited! Finn is dying to know if it's a boy or a girl but I want to wait. Was Dad like that with me, mom? Well, I'll call you as my due date gets closer. I miss you and love you with all my heart.

Your Daughter,
Rachel
Finn walked in just as she was signing her letter. He sat down and put his arm around her.
"What are you up to?"
"Just writing a letter to my mom and dad."
"I should do that too. Got anymore paper?" Rachel handed him and extra sheet of paper and then got off the couch.
"I'm just gonna go call Maria."
"Tell Michael I say hi!" Finn called to her as she walked into the kitchen. Finn stared at the blank piece of paper and then began to write.
Dear Mom & Dad,
It's Finn. How are you two? Rachel and I are great. Have you heard from Isabel lately? We haven't gotten a letter from her in almost a month so I hope she's doing well. I have wonderful news for you! Rachel is pregnant! The baby is wonderful and is due in 7 months. I don't know if I can wait that long! Rachel doesn't want to know the sex yet but I'm going crazy not knowing! Rachel is reading this over my shoulder as I write and she sends her love. I'd better be going. I'll call you soon. I love you and miss you.
Finn
Rachel picked up the phone and began dialing Michael and Maria's number. She hadn't talked to Maria in almost 2 weeks and she was beginning to miss her best friend. The phone rang twice before Rachel heard someone pick up.
"Hello?"
"Maria? It's Rachel!"
"RACHEL! Oh my god, I haven't talked to you in ages! How are you?"
"I'm great. How are you? How's Michael?"
"We're both doing really well. How's Finn?"
"Finn is great." Rachel said as she walked into the TV room and read over Finn's shoulder. She then began pacing in front of the couch, which was just a habit she had while talking on the phone.

"I'm so happy you called, Rachel."
"I'm so happy you're home because I actually have something to tell you."
"Really, what is it?"
"I'm pregnant." Maria screamed into the phone so loud that Rachel had to pull it away from her ear. Michael raced into the room when he heard the scream.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing! Rachel is pregnant!"
"Rachel is pregnant?" Maria nodded at him and then went back to the phone.
"Rach, you still there?"
"I'm here."
"Sorry, I'm just so happy for you! How's the baby? When's it due? It a boy or a girl?" Rachel smiled at her friend's enthusiasm
"The baby is fine, it's healthy. It's due in 7 months and we're not sure if it's a boy or girl."
"Oh my god, I'm so happy for you! Sorry, Michael wants to talk to you and Finn. You have to call me soon, promise?"
"I promise, bye Maria!"
"Bye!" Maria handed the phone to Michael.
"Hey Rach."
"Hi Michael."
"Congratulations. I'm really happy for you guys."
"Thank you."
"Do you mind if I talk to Finn?"
"Yeah sure. It was nice talking to you."
"Nice talking to you too. Later."
"Bye Michael." Rachel said as she handed the phone over to Finn.
"Hello?"
"Hey! Finnegan! Congratulations!"
"Thanks Michael. Can you believe that I'm gonna be a dad? This is amazing!"
"I'm sure it is. I'm really happy for you man."
"Thanks, that really means a lot."
"No problem. Sorry, but I've got to go. I'll talk to you again soon, k?
"Yeah, sure. Later Michael."
"Later Finn."

8 74Slime of Gluttony
_____ ___, a completely and utterly deplorable person. Lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated. He spends his time as a shut-in, wasting his life away doing nothing of importance. This is the life of the man, a life of no importance. At the impulse of desiring food, he left his small and cramped apartment. Regretting his actions immediately, he was left with the prospect of a complete panic attack due to the numerous amount of people outside at that day. However, he pressed on, determined to find some sort of delicious food to consume. Life had other plans for him. He gets hit by a car, and after hearing strange words from an even stranger voice, he dies. However, minutes, hours, maybe even days later, he awakes, his senses of smell, sight, and hearing robbed of him. Author's Note: This is my first story on Royal Road, so it might not be the best. Although, I hope you enjoy! I'll probably write around 2000 words or more per chapter, but on average a bit more. If you're wondering, the cover art is drawn by me, just in case you thought I wasn't giving credit to the creator.This story might often times lean more into the comedy side of things, but stuff can still get pretty serious at times, especially in the later chapters. The story isn't super dark or anything, but character death is of course going to be a thing. Who? Well, you'll find out, eventually. Also, I'll upload chapters on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hope you enjoy reading this little hobby of mine!

8 89Magic is Overrated
This is a side project I am starting for my own amusement. It's not meant to be serious but it can be. I'll post a chapter when I feel like and chapter lengths simply depend on how much I want to write. I don't even know where the story will go so you can say it will be an adventure for myself and any readers. This story is how I relieve my stress and cynical ideals so you have been warned.Synopsis: When the entire world is run on principals of magic and every person born a mage one boy can't help but despise it. This story is about his struggles and failures with his """"shitty"""" magic. He also is a member of a high ranking noble house filled with freaks. This can only go horribly wrong.Warning: Crude language and sexual situations. Along with crazy mishaps.
