《Xavier and Nevah》68. Meeting the family
Advertisement
Owen is now officially a day old. Nevah is ok to leave the hospital as well as our son. We changed him into a cute outfit and laid him in the car seat. Once Nevah signed the discharge papers, we were able to leave. We got into the car, me driving while Nevah sat in the back with Owen.
Once we got home, sat in the living room was the whole family. Nevah held my hand with my other holding the car seat with our son peacefully sleeping in it. Finn smiled at me and Nevah the went back on his phone.
We both sat down with the car seat by my feet. I carefully picked him up and laid him on my chest with Nevah's head on my shoulder.
"How you feeling sweetheart." Grandpa sat next to nevah.
"I'm ok. Glad he's here now." She replied with a smile. "Did you get the picture?"
"Yeah. We all did. He's really small from what I imagined him to he." Abuelo chuckled a little.
"He's dinky." Nevah looked at our sleeping son.
"It's strange how it works isn't it. He had all that room for a small baby." Hope laughed. Nevah sent her a playful glare but laughed a couple seconds after.
"I know. It's weird not feeling him kick anymore." Nevah stated.
"No more. Not just yet." I told her making everyone laugh.
"I'll be back in a second." I kissed Nevah's head. "Finn I need your help." He snapped his head up from his phone to look at me.
"What?" He looked between Nevah and i.
"I need your help with something. Come on." I rolled my eyes. Nevah smiled and shook her head at me, obviously knowing what I was going to do. Finn and I walked out of the living room and into the kitchen as I held Owen to my chest.

"What do you need help with?" Finn looked up at me.
"I don't need help. Sit down, you're gonna be the first to hold your nephew." I told him.
"Shouldn't that be someone else? I mean I don't mind, but wouldn't mum want to hold him first?" He rambled.
"Just sit down." I rolled my eyes. Finn sat down and held his arms out. I laid Owen in his arms letting him hold my son.
"This is weird." He breathed out with a smile. "I want a baby now."
"Not at fifteen you don't." I chuckled. "He needs a bottle. You ok to take him into the living room?"
"Nope. I'll drop him." Finn shook his head.
"You'll be fine. Come on." I smirked a little. Slowly, Finn stood up while I held the baby bottle and formula in my hand. It took us a while to get to the living room, but when we did everyone laughed a little at my brothers frightened face.
"Who's he going to?" Finn asked.
"Nevah. She knows how to feed him. I haven't quite got it." I told him. He nodded and slowly walked to Nevah and gave Owen to her.
~~~~~~~~
Once everyone had a cuddle, they all left to give Nevah and i some space. At first she was skeptical of everyone holding Owen because of that overprotectiveness. But she got over it as some of them didn't hold him too long since they didn't want to overwhelm the baby or Nevah.
Later on that night, we were in bed with owen on Nevah's chest doing skin to skin. I smiled at my family now complete.
"We finally get to expand our love now." I whispered to my wife.

"I'm happy now. Our family is complete." Nevah smiled at me.
"Yes, but not quite. Don't think he's being an only child." I smirked at her.
"Not for at least two years." She whined a little.
"I can wait that long." I chuckled. I leaned over and connected our lips, careful of a sleeping Owen on my wife's chest. "Best gift anyone has given me."
"And mine. You're second. But as we have more kids you'll go down the line." Nevah giggled.
"You know it's the same with you as well." I laughed with her.
"I know. But you'll always be my number one husband." She pecked my lips.
"And you my number one wife." I mumbled against her lips.
"I love you." Nevah pulled away from me.
"I love you to. More than words can say." I told her.
"I know three words that show me how much you love me." She stated.
"What what may that be?" I asked her even though I already know what she'll say.
"Owen Lucas Matthews."

8 217Celestial [A Progression Fantasy LitRPG]
Warning!Profanity, unconventional relationships, drug use, descriptive gore and intimacy. Celestial is a slow-paced and action-packed progression fantasy with elements from the LitRPG genre. The story focuses on the protagonist’s personal growth, violence, sex, exploration and adventure. Follow Zelaria as she embarks on her journey of exploration and adventure, seeking ever greater heights of power. With an affinity for the elusive and mysterious Arcane and a preference for the thrill of close combat she nonetheless chooses to walk the path of a mage. A mage may still use weapons but a warrior rarely casts spells as far as she knows. It’s a logical path for her even if others may call it insanity. What do they know? Most people who choose to specialize in wielding mana tend to pick a mage class aligned with their element. Why become a standard mage, average at everything, when you can use your affinity for fire to become a fire mage and cause destruction with ease? The only problem for Zelaria is that no one seems to know how to get a mage class aligned with the arcane. Approaching 17 years of age she’s still at level 0 while her peers have long left her behind, their classes selected at the age of 15 when they became available. Luck is on her side though as she manages to snag employment as a hauler with a party heading on an expedition to a dungeon abandoned centuries ago. They’re looking for riches and danger while she’s still looking for an answer, one she finds at their destination even if not in the way she expected. Nothing is going to stop her from enjoying all that the world has to offer, not the wish of her parents or even her death. I'll be aiming to upload 5 chapters in bulk every week.

8 102Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.
