《Free Bird - Morgan Wallen》Thirty

"I don't remember feeling this bitchy with Johnny." Dani huffs, wiping her face free from angry tears. "But, fuck, Morgan you can't leave your fucking boots here."
"It's never been a problem before, babe." Morgan says softly from the couch. "Chill out."
His face drops as Dani gives him a fuming look. "What." Her voice is low as she clenches her jaw.
"I- Shit." He runs his hand through his buzzed hair. "Son of a bitch. I'm sorry, Ella. I didn't mean it like that." He says, scrambling to his feet to follow her to the kitchen. "I'm sorry." Dani whimpers and nods, wiping her eyes again. "C'mere." She nods again and drops her head against his shoulder as he holds her close.
"Man this sucks." She exhales heavily.
"Three months left of this then we'll have our babygirl." He puts his hand on her baby bump. "We can get through this okay?" She nods again, sighing.
"Sorry." He cups her cheeks, running his thumb over her flushed skin before leaning in to kiss her. "Three more months."
"That's right, baby." He whispers, holding her close to his chest. "Nothing we can't handle. We've done this before and we're doing it again." She takes a deep breath and sighs. "If anyone can do this, it's you."
"Oh fuck off." She laughs weakly, reaching over to play with his fingers. "Thanks."

"Baby Wallen's coming soon!" Caleigh chirps as she helps the boys decorate the nursery. She talked Dani into gray walls and light pink accents. "How many days?"
"Twenty eight." She breathes back, sitting on the small white armchair. "Can't wait."
"What're y'all naming her?" Hardy asks, nodding to Morgan as they set the dresser down.
Dani's silent. "We don't have a name."
"What!? How can you not have a name yet? That's like the best part of having a kid!" Caleigh exclaims with wide eyes.
"I don't know. I guess I've been preoccupied. This pregnancy is so much more difficult than Johnny was." Dani sighs, her hand rubbing her prominent bump. "I've never felt this exhausted before."
"Well, Michael and I'll get outta your hair and let you guys relax." Caleigh picks up her bag and jacket. "Love you guys." The couples wave at each other as they separate.
"How the hell can we not have a name picked out!?" Dani has tears in her eyes. "We're horrible parents!"
"Baby." Morgan helps his wife to her feet and walks her to their bed where Johnny is still asleep. "Like you said, this pregnancy is harder. We've had a lot on our minds so why don't we just brainstorm some names, okay?" Dani nods as she plays with her sons hair. "What're you feelin?"
"I dunno." Morgan sighs, tugging his long sleeve tee off before pulling Johnny onto his lap. "What're you thinkin?"
"I like Louise." She rolls her eyes. "Okay then."
"James?"
"For a girl?"
"Yeah, I mean it's unique." She shrugs, running her hand over her bump. "I like Morgan too."
"Eh, I don't know. I think it might be kinda weird to have two Morgan's here." She nods. "Riley?"
"No." She immediately says. "Absolutely not."
"Casey?" She shrugs. "Hayden?" She shrugs again. "Reese?"
"I don't know." Dani huffs, dropping her head on his shoulder. "James is sticking. Johnny and Jamie sounds cute together."

"Okay. James what then?"
"James Marie?" She smiles. "James Marie."
"James Marie Wallen." Morgan hums, matching her grin. "We got a name for our babygirl."

Morgan and Johnny in the other side of Nashville with Michael for some meeting or something, Daniella was only half listening. She's sitting on a table chair when she feels something familiar roll through her body. "Not now." She mutters. "Seriously?" Dani rolls her eyes as she drops the apple slice she's eating then grabs her phone. Morgan doesn't answer after two tries so she calls Michael.
"Hey baby. What's up?" Hardy asks.
"Where's Morgan? Is he 'round?"
"Uh, yeah. Everythin okay?"
"I couldn't get a hold of him. Can you hand me to em?"
Hardy sighs and whistles at his best friend, handing him the phone. "It's your wife."
"Shit. Hey, sorry I was talking to- it don't matter. You alright?"
"I think you should come home now." She tries to say calmly as another contraction hits.
"Yeah sure I'm on my way now. What's wrong?" Morgan nods to Michael who follows him out to the lot.
"I'm- Well, I'm having the baby." Dani says, gripping the counter top. "Just come on home now, okay? Carefully."
"What!? Fuck! Okay- shit!" Morgan turns the key in the ignition but nothing happens. "No, no, no. Not here, not now! Shit."
"What's wrong?" She breathes sharply as she steps into a pair of sneakers, slinging her purse and a small duffle over her shoulder. "Y'know what? I'm gonna let you go. Just meet me at the hospital, alright? I love you."
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! Okay. I love you too." Morgan groans as he tries again, slamming his hands against the wheel. "God-motherfuckin- dammit!" He tosses the phone back at Michael before rushing to the hood as smoke rolls out. "Son of a bitch!" Tears spring to his blue eyes; his wife is in labor and she's alone.
Dani calmly calls Caleigh to let her know what's going on and to ask for a ride to the hospital. She quickly agrees and rushes next door to pick up her best friend. "How are you so chill right now?" She asks, glancing back at Dani. "Why am I freaking out more than you?"
"I don't know, y'know?" Dani exhales, fanning herself. "The boys are gonna meet us there. Thanks for drivin'." She slides out of her car and walks herself to the receptionist. "Hey I'm Daniella Wallen and I'm having a baby."
"O-okay." Caleigh appears next to her with her bag. "I have some paperwork that needs filled out." She hands the clipboard to her best friend then helps the woman in labor to a room.
"Hey baby, what's up?" Hardy asks as he answers Caleigh's phone call.
"I'm at the hospital with Dani and I have to fill out the paper work and I don't know the majority of it."
Hardy chuckles. "What do you need to know?" She rattles off a bunch of questions. "Y'know Morgan's with me." He passes the phone to the man that's freaking out. Morgan answers the questions as Michael drives them to the hospital.
The father nearly leaps out of the truck and rushes into the building. "My wife is in labor. Where is she? Wallen- Daniella Wallen." The receptionist tells him, sending him on his way.
He runs to his wife, sliding past the door at first before bursting into the room. He's partially relieved he didn't miss the birth of his daughter but also kinda worked up that he has to watch his wife be in pain with nothing he can do about it.

Dani's in tears as she's taking deep breaths. She grabs a hold of Morgan's jacket and pulls him down next to her, gripping the fabric tight as she groans through another contraction. "Your fuckin fault, Wallen." She clenches her jaw, moving her grip to his bicep.
Morgan cries out but quickly bites his lip when he gets a dirty look from the midwife. "You're doing great, Ella." He says, wiping her face off with a nearby towel. "You're doing so fucking great." The midwife tells her to push again. Morgan keeps his eyes trained on the wall behind her, his head spinning. She tells her to do it again and Dani whimpers in response, shaking her head as she grips Morgan's hand tight.
"C'mon baby, just one more time." She says and Daniella does so; a sharp piercing cry soon filling the room.
Dani cries out again, collapsing against the uncomfortable hospital bed as she tries to catch her breath. Morgan has tears of his own in his eyes as he kisses his wife's forehead, stroking her sweaty mess of hair. "You fucking did it, Ella."
"Shut up, Wallen." She breathes, coughing out a sob. The nurse hands the fresh infant to her mother then starts cleaning things up. "Are you sure about James?"
"What're you feelin?"
"She's not a James." She whimpers, looking at the pink newborn in her arms, her fingers brushing over the hint of soft brown hair sprouting from the top of her head. "That's not her name."
"Annalise?" Morgan suggests as he pulls up a chair next to his wife.
"No." She sniffles. She stops her tears as she gives her daughter a once over. "Josephine."
"Josephine." He repeats. "Josephine what?"
"We could do a 'T' middle name like we do for Johnny. Or we could use Cole for you."
"What was your dad's middle name?"
"Lewis, that's how I got Louise." She adjusts the infant gently. "Why the fuck is this so hard?"
"Because y'all're over thinkin it." Hardy says from the doorway. "Josephine is nice."
"She's beautiful." Caleigh smiles, Johnathan on her hip. "Congrats, you guys."
"Thanks."
A nurse comes in. "Are y'all alright if we take the little Miss to the nursery?" Dani glances at Morgan before nodding. "Alrighty." Soon their daughter is rolled out of the room.
"Decide on a name yet?" Caleigh asks, sitting at the foot of the bed with Michael standing behind her, playing with her hair. "Josephine is beautiful."
"We have Louise, Cole, or Marie." Dani sighs, wiping her tears away. "And I like all of them so I don't care."
"Cole." Michael nods.
"Marie." Caleigh says.
"Louise." Morgan smiles.
The three look at each other then over at the misty eyed woman in the hospital bed. She whimpers in response. "Y'all..." The trio start bickering between each other as Dani shakes her head. "Marie is out. It's startin to bother me."
"So Louise or Cole- ah shit." Michael smiles as he shakes his head. "It's down between y'all's middle names?"
"Just say them out loud and see what you think." Caleigh suggests. "Josephine Louise. Josephine Cole." Morgan and Daniella share a look.
"Louise sounds nice." Morgan whispers. "I like Louise."
"Cole sounds badass though." Michael says, cleaning the lenses of his glasses with his t-shirt.
"Fuck." Dani breathes out, wincing as she adjusts herself. "I like Cole."
"Cole it is."
+++
Daniella is absolutely exhausted. Between her two children and Morgan being cooped up at the studio, she's been running the house. Johnny's been keeping Dani busy with being his fathers son; ornery as fuck while Josephine's been pretty laid back.
Currently, Daniella is bouncing her one year old on her hip, cooking up some dinner, while her oldest is messing with a couple Tonka Trucks on the kitchen floor around her feet. Jo has one hand in her mouth with the other playing with her mother's hair. The door opens and Morgan's finally home from a ten hour day at the studio. His tired face breaks into a huge grin when he sees his family waiting for him in the kitchen. "Smells wonderful, baby." Johnny squeals at the sound of his fathers voice, abandoning the trucks beneath his mother feet to greet him. Morgan laughs as he lifts his son to wrap him in a hug. He leans over and kisses his wife on the cheek.
"How was the thing?" Dani asks, her voice quiet and tired.
"It was fine." He sighs, leaning back against the counter with a beer in one hand. "How's things 'round here?"
"This boy-"
"Oh jeez."
"This boy is one hundred percent your son." Dani rubs her eye with her free hand before sitting Jo in her high chair.
She finally meets her husbands tired eyes with her own dark ones. "Let me take over, go take a shower or somethin."
"N-no- Morgan-" She sighs as he snags the wooden spoon from her hand. "I'm fine, hun." Morgan cups the side of her face, giving her a faint smile when he sees tired tears in her eyes.
"You need to relax." He whispers, swiping his thumb across her tear stained cheeks. "Take a bath or- or a nap or somethin."
"No I'm fine." She gives him a smile. "But I'm gonna take a shower because I want to." She leans over and gives her husband a kiss before turning to take a long, hot, relaxing shower.
+++
Caleigh and Michael offered to watch the kids for a long weekend so Morgan and Dani can reconnect for that spark they had lost since they've had children. Morgan whisked Daniella away to a cabin in Townsend, Tennessee; three hours east of Nashville, an hour southeast of Knoxville.
"This is so nice, babe." Dani says sleepily from the bed. "Mmm." Morgan glances over at his wife from his spot at the window. She's already fast asleep. He slides in under the thick plaid comforter, his arm tight around her middle. She stirs and smiles, her fingers wrapping around his as they cuddle and sleep together, undisturbed for the first time in a long time.
A couple hours pass and Dani wakes first. She bites her lip as she looks over her sleeping husband, her hand trailing from his chest down below the sheets to his hip, her fingers walking across the waistband of his boxers. He hums, inhaling deeply before yawning himself awake. "Mmm- hey." He breathes, a small smirk crawling his way to his pretty lips. "Y'know we are totally unsupervised."
"What're you sayin', Wallen?" Dani smiles back, tucking her long hair behind her ear. "You gonna fuck me?"
Morgan chuckles sleepily, pulling his beautiful wife on top of him, his hands sliding to her hips. "You gonna behave?" Dani rolls her eyes, leaning on her elbows to brush some of his long hair out of his eyes. "What?"
"You're somethin else." She mumbles, brushing her thumb across his cheek. "This is so nice."
"Like we're back in high school, huh?"
"Oh baby, we're way outta high school." She suddenly gets up and heads to the small kitchenette, returning with a bottle of Ole Smoky Peanut Butter Whiskey and a huge grin. She bounces back onto the bed, cracking the bottle open. Dani takes a couple swallows before coughing slightly. "Holy fuck, I haven't drank anything this strong since before Johnny." She forces out. "Woah. That'll hit cha like a ton of bricks."
Morgan smiles as he takes a swig from the bottle. "That's good shit." He pops the cap back on before sharing a look with his wife. They suddenly grab each other, kissing hotly with hands groping and roaming over their bodies. She lets out a soft moan as he tugs the shirt she stole from him off her body, his lips never leaving her neck. "You are so fuckin beautiful." He breathes, sitting back to guide her onto his lap. "Y'know I still can't believe that I married you."
"Shut up and fuck me."
+++
Morgan bites his lip as he watches his wife throw together a big meal for their family; his parents and sisters along with Caleigh and Michael. Dani has a cigarette between her lips as she's looking down at a hot skillet. "I haven't seen you light up in three years."
"I'm a little frazzled." She mumbles back, smoke lacing with her words. "Stressed- I'm stressed." She drops the spatula onto a plate and pushes her mess of hair back out of her face. She throws her blonde locks into a shitty bun, exhaling a cloud of smoke, waving it away. "Can you turn the fan on? I don't want the kids inhalin' this shit." Morgan nods, pushing the window over the sink open after flipping the switch. "Holy shit." She leans over and taps the ash into the trash can before turning to the oven to take the dish of cornbread out. "Set the table."
"You got it, momma." He winks, doing as he's told.
Suddenly, there's tiny hands grabbing onto her jeans. Dani looks down, quickly drops her cigarette into the water filled sink and grins at her oldest, picking him up. "John Tom." She wiggles her nose against his hugging him close. Morgan hands her an old fashioned peppermint candy to help hide her cigarette breath. She winks at him, popping the sweet into her mouth before turning back to the stove. "Dinner is ready! Come and eat y'all!"
Morgan takes his boy off his wife's hands so she can finish setting the table up for their guests.
"Smells great, Dani." Michael grins, Josephine on his hip.
Everyone sits at the table, lively conversations fill the dining room. Dani smiles to herself as she looks at the guests, her heart swelling with love and happiness. Morgan reaches over and gives her hand a squeeze, knowing she finally feels like she has a family again- finally feels like she belongs. Johnny is with his grandfather while Josephine is on Caleigh's lap.
Dani created her own family with her high school sweetheart. She watches Michael joke around with Morgan while one of his sisters talk with their mother. Daniella looks over at her husband with teary eyes. "I love you." She whispers, that beautiful grin never leaving her face.
"I love you too, Ella." Morgan responds, leaning over to press a kiss to his wife's temple. "I love you, too."

Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not. New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.

8 161God's System
Hey guys Perdere666 here! m(-_-)m Anyway, this is a new story from me. This idea came about when I was reading IRAS, Omni-Genius, hacker, Urban Legend and other similar genre. And I thought, wow, I like to write something like that and so here it is... However, since this is not the main story, I won't be able to update it as fast as Fantasial Apocalypse. In any case, this was just one of my wish-fulfillment kind of story so please don't be so strict about it~ (^-^)V - This is just for fun! I'm not good at writing synopsis but let's see: Daniel Flores died and was almost virtually revived by his lover/fiancee who turned out to be an evil mad scientist from a huge terrorist group. During his revival her lover/fiancee added some kind of experiment to his brain in order for his revival to be succesful. However, this was suddenly interrupted by a peace keeping force. And so, his revival failed. He died. However, suddenly he was transmigrated to another him from a parallel world. And that's where the story begins~ I hope you will like it! V(>.
