《Infinity || Dan Smith》Forty-One.
Advertisement
After a busy day at Comic-Con Dan and Charlie decided to go out for nice dinner. While the food was filling and delicious, both Dan and Charlie felt like the waitress was spying on them. However, they didn't bring it up until the manager of the restaurant appeared and told them that the food was on the house. Then they knew for sure that she must've been.
As for the dinner, both of them didn't have any other choice than to accept the offer. Of course they went as soon as possible considering the waitress was suspiciously holding her phone out towards them.
After the meal Charlie and Dan took a Uber ride to the nearest beach, and they've been there since.
"God" — Charlie whines while she fiddles around with her dress — "This dress is so fucking tight." Charlie awkwardly laughs while she places one hand on top of her bump.
Dan on the other hand shrugs, he doesn't see a problem with the red dress. "But it looks alright on you." Dan isn't the one to have 'away' with words.
"The colour and the tightness makes my stomach look ten times bigger!" Charlie snaps back.
After the panel today Charlie has been in a very feisty mood, of which Dan finds hilarious and has been deliberately pissing her off more. Dan knows that that the San-Diego heat has got to her head, since he feels the same way. They're used to rain, thunder, snow...just a colder climate in general.
Both of them thought a nice walk besides the sea would cool them down, but the weather hasn't made that much of an impact as they hoped.
"Anyway" — Dan, to avoid an argument about how Charlie looks, changes the subject — "tomorrow I was thinking that me, Chris, and Ralph can go and see the other panels." Charlie nods her head with a fake smile, but deep down she feels left out.

Charlie loves Comic-Con much more than Dan does.
"I was hoping that me and you can go and get a few baby bits. I didn't drag that empty suitcase all the way to America for nothing." Dan cracks a smile.
"Why don't you go and look around with Chrissy and her boys? She'll probably be able to help you pick out the things we need the most." Charlie nods her head with a sad smile.
"What's wrong?" Dan asks while he sits next to her on a flimsy bit of decking.
"On this trip I was kind of hoping that we could name her." Dan knows that Charlie doesn't want to wait to name her daughter, although they haven't discussed finding a name in detail.
"Why don't we name her right now?" Dan asks while crossing his arms.
"Because we haven't researched names." Dan then tilts his head back while he thinks about what names he likes beats. It's not something Dan has ever really thought of before, so it's a strange feeling.
"What's Liam's and Lily's kid called?" With that Charlie's eyes widen.
"Oh my god!" She nods her head ecstatically.
"Lacey!" She squeals while holding her baby bump with both of her hands.
"Her name is Lacey!" Dan nods his head in agreement with a shy smile. As expectant father's come, Dan has been in the distance of it all. He's anxious when it comes to his daughter, he doesn't want to mess anything up.
"Wait..." — Charlie stops herself before she gets too carried away, she then points at her boyfriend — "you do want her to be called Lacey right? Otherwise is this is awkward..." Charlie admits with a curious smile, but Dan on the other hand sternly nods his head.

"It's perfect." Dan whispers while Charlie stands up and throws her arms around Dan's shoulders while he holds onto the side of her waist.
"I think Lacey likes her name..." Dan laughs while he feels weak kicks against his hand. She's only been 'kicking' for two days now, but each kick is getting a little more noticeable.
"I think she does too." Charlie laughs while she then leans forwards towards Dan and kisses him on the lips slowly.
They're a romantic couple at heart.

Cultivating Earth [Hiatus]
[This fiction is on indefinite hiatus. I'm currently acting as a 24-hour caregiver for my step-father who had a massive heart attack. I apologize for disappearing so quickly, but sometimes that's just life. I'll return as soon as possible. Sorry everyone!] Zhao Gang, after hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, has finally reached the penultimate threshold. He is ready to ascend to the level of True Immortal. Driven by the need for a place his enemies won't find him, Zhao Gang puts together an audacious plan. He has developed a revolutionary new formation which will allow him to ascend while on even the lowest planes. To avoid drawing attention, he has to choose a plane that is relatively desolate, however. He chooses Earth. Fast forward three thousand years. Zhao Gang discovers what his work has wrought - a cultivation-free culture that has delved the deep mysteries of creation - he can't help but think how this tiny little planet devoid of natural energy could affect the course of all creation. There's only one problem. For that to happen, he has to succeed in cultivating Earth. Notes: Chinese names should be ignored in the social context - they don't mean anything. Sorry for slaughtering such a beautiful tradition. This novel starts off slower than most. If the slow-roll isn't your thing, you might want to give this a pass. If it's not for you, I understand. Also, releases may be broken up into smaller chunks. The goal is 5k words, but definitely more than 4k. If you see a short release, be aware that more is probably coming. I'll be honest and say that I'm struggling with each new scene, if only because I want to balance the scope of vision with good pacing. I hope the work I put into it is worthwhile.
