《My Best Friend's Baby》Chapter:7
Advertisement
It's been a few weeks since we set-up the nursery and everything. We have everything ready for when she comes.
Josh and I have been talking about names, we are down to a few but we still haven't decided on which we like best.
Tomorrow we graduate from high school and I couldn't be happier.
We've decided that after we graduate and then the baby comes that we will live with Josh's parents for the first few months while we save up our money for our own place, plus Josh's mom is going to help us since we'll be first time parents.
Everything has been good at school nobody bullies me like they used to except for Bella. Nikki has actually stopped paying any attention to me.
I get out of bed get dressed and go down stairs to make breakfast for Josh and I,everyone else is out of the house today. I make eggs,bacon,and toast, then I go wake Josh up for breakfast. After I wake him up we go back down stairs for breakfast.
"How do you feel about the name Laura?" I ask.
"I don't really care for that name."
"Okay. Do you have any?" I ask.
"Yeah I stayed up late last night thinking about it, I like Olivia Grace Hunter."
"I absolutely love that name." I say with a big smile.
"So that's going to be her name?" Josh asks with a small smile.
"Yes." I look down and rub my belly "I can't wait to meet you, Olivia." I whisper."
After breakfast Becky comes over and we leave to go get outfits for graduation tomorrow. On the ride to the store I tell her about the name we settled on. She loves the name we chose.

When we get to the first store we go in and look around for what seems like and eternity before Becky settles on a little black dress. After we check out we go find me a dress.
I decide on a knee length black dress similar to Becky's.
When we are done we go back home and hang out for a while watching movies and just talking about random stuff.
Becky leaves about an hour later just as Josh is getting home from work.
Josh comes in the living room and gives me a kiss before laying down on the couch next to me. While we are watching t.v. Josh is rubbing my belly and whispering to the baby, it is the cutest thing ever. After about twenty minutes Josh falls asleep.
Josh's mom comes home and starts making dinner so I decide to go help her. Just as we finish making dinner everyone else gets home.
We all have dinner and then I head to bed.
The next day I wake up before everyone else. I take a shower and get dresses then I wake Josh up and let him know i'm going over to Becky's.
She's going to help me with my hair and make up. Graduation starts at 1:00pm and it's already 11:00.
It takes Becky nearly an hour to do my hair and everything, so I rush back home to get ready and make sure Josh is getting ready. When I get home I go inside to see that Josh is ready to go, I go upstairs and change into my dress. I grab my cap and gown and Josh's cap and gown and go back downstairs. The venue is about thirty minutes away so we leave as soon as I get back downstairs.

We get to the place and Josh and I put on our caps and gowns and a teacher lines us all up in order before leaving us alone. Bella is at the front of the line and Nikki is in front of me. We have about ten minutes until graduation starts. Bella comes back to where I am and starts saying things like 'wow I can't believe they're letting this whale and her mistake walk across the stage' or 'you're such a whore' this goes on for about five minutes when the last thing I expected happened. Nikki actually stood up for me. She turned around slapped Bella across the face and yelled, "Will you please stop? Damn I am starting to get tired of hearing you insult Claire all the time. Is torturing Claire cause she made a mistake all you have to do? She isn't the only one that makes mistakes so shut the hell up and leave her alone." after she yelled at Bella she turned to me and apologized for ever bullying me.
"Oh believe me Nikki I know she's not the only one that makes mistakes. Let's just make sure everyone else knows." Bella went over and grabbed a chair,I looked at Nikki with confusion, a look of panic flashed across Nikki's face.
"Bella,Please do not do this." Nikki says.
Bella stands up on the chair. "Attention everyone here I want you all to know that Claire isn't the only one to make stupid mistakes. Nikki here made the same mistake as Claire. The dumb bitch went to a party and slept with Matthew Winters. Turns out she got pregnant from it. She's just as stupid as Claire is. Thank you that'll be all." Bella says.
The room goes silent. Matthew is Josh's best friend,I look over at Nikki and she's looking down at the floor,I walk over and give her a big hug just as a teacher walks in and tells us it's time to begin the graduation.

The boy who fell in love with a tree
This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often. -------------- English is not my primary language, so I ask everyone to be forgiving. If you see a glaring error I would appreciate a msg but it is not feasible to fix everything. And if the story offends you, I wish you happiness, reading what you enjoy. ------------- Img link: https://unsplash.com/photos/EwKXn5CapA4

Goblin Artist
Cover Art by the talented SocS (https://www.royalroad.com/profile/84137) Even if I grow in strength and somehow avoid dying during a hunt or some moronic tribal war, how long can I really expect to live?

In his previous life he was a successful artist, but now he faces a strange new world reduced to the most pitiful of dungeon dwelling monsters and with no survival skills to aid him.

He will push through the boundaries of his species to evolve further. The path ahead is long and arduous. Especially for a young goblin trapped in a small dungeon of a dying town.

The Everlasting. (Completed)
An Everlasting. A title given to those who have reached a state closest to godhood. Be it through might and power or through love and compassion. These beings hold great influence over the realms. This story is about Asura, a young orphaned child, who was taught the way of the blade and has mastered the Warrior Arts at a very young age. Given a recommendation by his master, Asura ventures out to broaden his horizons and to learn magic. Follow Asura’s journey and his quest to reach Everlastinghood. Comment by the author: Looking at the chapter list, you might have noticed Volume 1 is not there. The reason is that it’s in the process of being published so I’m somewhat restricted in where and how I can post it. Edit. 18/04/2017 The first volume is now officially on sale. It is no longer possible to get the first volume for free. I am sorry but it was free for a long time and it was time for it. However if you like to support me you can find th first volume here on Amazon (getBook.at/TheEverlasting) Compared to other stories on Royal Road this one is faster paced. No artificial extensions of the story by spending forever in generic constructs, like random ranking tournaments, that don’t really matter for the overall plot. That’s the plan anyway. Volumes consist roughly of 30-35k words. Additionally: I am not a native speaker, nor have I had any formal education in the English language. I am trying very hard to improve myself. If you want to help me by proofreading my story, shoot me a PM and we’ll see if we can arrange something. Other than my thanks and fake internet points I can’t offer anything, though. Yeah, poor student here… Edit 22/06/2017 Hey the story is officially ended if i ever decide to continue it will be on another date. The ending is open for anyone to use their imagination. Thank you all for the support. I hope we could meet later in the Everlasting II. Respectfully Biako
