Surprise it's me! Jay yelled
Oh my god Jay what are you doing here I thought you were in Iraq. I yelled
I was given a break for a couple days so I flew back to see you. Jay said
I love it that you're here but for how long. I asked
I'm here for a couple days. Jay said
Even though you're only here for a couple days I'm glad you're here. I said
Erin you look...beautiful like always. Jay said
Jay I have to tell you something the rest of the team already knows and I asked them not to tell you. I'm pregnant with twins and they're due around the time you get back in 8 months. I said
Oh my god Erin why didn't you tell me sooner. Jay asked
I was afraid. I said
Don't ever be afraid I love you and our kids. Jay said
Well looks like I'm gonna be seeing you all at Molly's tonight? Jay asked everyone
Yes! Everyone said even Hank agreed to go to Molly's
Well, I'll let you all get back to work and see you later. Jay said
Erin can I see you in my office for a minute? Jay I would like to talk you in a minute. Hank said
Yea. We both said
I walked into hanks office not knowing what he would want to talk to me about other than the fact that jays back and I told him about the twins.
Take a seat. Hank said
Ok...something wrong? I asked him
No, nothing at all, I just wanted you to know that you will not be coming into work for the next couple of days since Jay is back. Hank said
Thank you Hank. I said
Now get Jay I wanna have a word with him, before the two of you leave. Hank said
I walked out and Jay went into his office I was a little worried as to what he would want to talk to Jay about.

You wanted talk to me sir? Jay asked
You can call me Hank, Jay. Hank said
Sorry, it's just a force of habit. Jay said
I wanted to talk to you about and Erin and your kids. Hank said
Ok, what about them? Jay asked
Do you plan on re-enlisting after the twins are born or will you retire from the rangers. Hank asked
Umm...I haven't really thought about it since I just found out that I'm gonna have two kids, but I will probably retire and hopefully will be able to work in intelligence again. Jay said
Jay, there is always a spot on this team for you, I only ask because if you went back into the rangers Erin would be left here with two kids while you're half way across around the world and if you died it would break her heart and I don't know if she would be able to move past that. Hank said
Thank you Hank, I'm just glad that you'll be here for Erin while I can't. It means a lot to me. Please keep her safe too, because if my family dies I won't be able to come back from thatJay said
I will be putting her on desk duty soon, which she doesn't know about so don't tell her I should be the one to tell her. I also have her working with Antonio and I trust him with watching her back while you're gone. Hank said
Thank you for watching out for her. Jay said
You're welcome, you're all set to go now. Hank said
I'll see ya later tonight. Jay said
Jay walked out of hanks office and saw Erin sitting at her desk doing stuff on her computer he just stood by the door and looked at her wondering how long it would take for her to realize he was standing there.
Hey babe, you just get done in there. I asked
No, I've been standing here for *looks at his phone to check the time* 10 minutes. Jay said

Really I didn't even notice. Guess I was really into all the paperwork I was doing. Let's get outta here. I said
Yea, so where should we go. Jay asked
We should go take a walk around the city. I said
Sounds so romantic, just remember we are meeting up with everyone tonight. Jay said
How did you get here since you don't have your car. I asked
I took a uber. Can I drive? Jay asked
Fine I guess just this one time I will let you drive, just don't kill us. I said
I will be the best driver that you have ridden with. Jay said
Jay why are you going so slow, this is why I always drive. I said
Oh you don't like it when I go slow how do you like it when I drive like this. Jay said
Jay, you are going way too fast you're gonna get pulled over. I said
I can't get pulled over since I am a cop and army rangers. Jay joked
Just slow it down a bit, I don't want to have to get a new car, but I have missed us "fighting" about driving. I said
I have missed you and everything else we do together. Jay said
Well it looks like we are in the city of Chicago. I'm driving on the way back. I said
I have missed this city. Jay said
The city has missed you. I said
Jays POV
Since I have been gone and I have had time to think about my future with Erin and our family I have decided that I want to marry her but I want to do out before I go back, so I have to do it soon. I decided to give Hank a call so I can have his blessing.
Before we do anything I need to make a quick phone call. I said
Ok, I'll just go over there and talk to some people. She said
I dialed hanks number and was hoping he would answer, since they were all working right now.
Hello. Hank said
Hey Hank it's me Jay I want to ask you something and I realize I should ask you person but I want to do this before I leave. Jay said
Ok, what's up Jay. Hank asked
I wanted your permission to ask Erin to marry me. Jay said
Jay I give you my blessing. I know how much the two of you love each other. Hank said
Thank you Hank. I am going to do it tonight so if you tell the team to meet up at the bean before we go to Molly's that would be greatly appreciated. Jay said
One question do you have a ring? Hank asked
Yes, I have been carrying it around with me since before I left. Jay said
I will let them know and what time would you like to meet up? Hank asked
I would like to meet up at 7:30 if that works for you guys. Jay said
Sounds perfect I'll let the team know. Hank said
See ya later. Jay said
You too. Hank said
I go over by Erin, she is talking to some people that she knows. Once she sees me coming towards her she says bye to her friends and comes toward me.
Hey babe, how was the call? She asked
Great! I said
Good, so we have a while to kill before we have to be at Molly's to meet up with the rest of the group. She said
So what do you want to do? I asked
Well, I don't know we could go back to the apartment. She said
What would we do there. I asked
You know we could talk watch a movie or play a game. 😏 she said
What type of game. I asked
I don't maybe scrabble or something like that. She said
We're outta here, but we got to be back here later since I have a surprise for you. I said

8 150The Shadows Become Her
A fantasy progression, a coming of age story, and a tale of revenge... Alvixia "Vix" Altorelli's idyllic childhood is disrupted in one tragic night when the duke's fanatics ransack the Altorelli home and imprison the rest of her family, selling them into slavery across the ocean. Vix soon finds herself fleeing for her life and her freedom, fleeing to the faraway city of Floria on an island ruled by the mysterious Nurass, Prince of Shadows. In Floria, Vix's sharp mind and talent for magic land her a spot at the Perdita Free Collegium, the world's greatest school for spies, saboteurs, swashbucklers, seductresses and, some claim, practitioners of dark magic... and that suits Vix just fine. If the Collegium wants to give Vix the tools she needs to save her family and get her revenge on Duke Orso, she'll take that deal any day of the week and twice on Saintsdays, even if that means making a deal with the Prince of Shadows himself. This is Vix's tale. Author's Note: Now that Writathon 2022 is over, updates will be on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays!
8 95The fallen (?) hero and Aži Dahāka's soul fragment
I have to apologize.A certain real life problem that I thought I got rid of has caught up to me once again.I tried to continue writing, but my mind was not in the right track to do so and thus, as some people had said, the quality of the latest 2 chapters had turned from the usual "bad" to "worst". So, I reluctantly have to say that I will be away until I can sort things out.I can't say when, but I do intend to return to writing. I might lurk around to read other people's works though. I will be turning my attention to stories with "tragedy" and "despair". The five of us were summoned to this world from our clubroom two years ago to be made as heroes.Shouldn't forceful summoning like that be counted as kidnapping?Well, we chose to go with the heroes route.After harsh training and battles, not to mention all the killings, we finally defeated the demon lord.However, all those achievements literally became nothing, it wasn't just forgotten, it was erased to be totally nothing as even the written records were somehow being disposed of. I was too naive. Who would have thought that the side we have been fighting alongside with, the side we were fighting for, was the one to bring our demise?After I had to see everyone else turn into nothingness, somehow... I alone survived. Note: I will attempt to fix the grammar problem with the help of lieutenant colonel fletterman. This may delay the release of future chapter. Chapter 1 is fixed. Chapter 2 is fixed.
8 136The Magic Man (Very Dead)
John was a fan of system apocalyspes, so he thought he knew what coming when he got caught up in one. He was wrong. This was an apocolypse in the original sense of the word, an unvieling. There were no ravenous hordes of monsters, no genocidal tutorials, and certainly no aliens from another dimension. Just humans. So John thought, "How can I exploit this?" This is my first story, and I am writing it as I go. Dont expect a regular update schedule or much long-term foreshadowing.
