《My Best Friend's Baby》Chapter:9
Advertisement
My mom and I had went to a small cafe in the mall and caught up. I told her all about how Josh and I had got a house and about how excited I was about having a girl. Mom told me that she had moved a couple of towns over and she cried her eyes out while apologising for leaving me.
After the cafe I invited mom to come see our house. I showed her around and now we're just sitting in the living room chatting.
"Mom?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"I'm scared."I said as tears came to my eyes.
"Oh sweetie there's nothing to be scared about. Everything will be perfectly fine. Once you have your baby everything will come naturally to you." mom replied with a smile.
I nodded my head.
"Thanks mom,i'm glad you're back."
My mom left a few hours ago. I'm just sitting around waiting for Josh to get home he's a couple hours late.
Josh has been coming home a few hours late a lot lately.
It's already 6:30 so I figure he'll be home soon so I go start dinner.
I get out everything for dinner and start cooking.
I finish cooking about an hour later. I fix myself a plate and sit down at the table and eat. After I eat I wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen,then I go upstairs and take a shower once i'm done with that it's near 9:00 and Josh still isn't home. I try calling him a few times and every time it goes to voicemail. He isn't allowed to have his phone on him at work so I assume that's why he isn't answering.
I go downstairs and lay down on the couch and watch t.v., after about an hour I fall asleep.

I wake up at 3:30, I try to fall back asleep but I can't so I decide to just stay up and watch t.v., while i'm watching it I hear someone open the front door. I get up and go to the doorway between the living room and foyer I peek around the corner and see Josh.
"Where have you been?" I ask.
"Out with a friend."
"I was worried about you, you could have at least called me to let me know you were going to hang out with a friend."
"Geez Claire, you're not my mom I don't have to tell you what i'm doing all the time!" He yelled and then he went up stairs.
I went and laid back down on the couch. Josh has never raised his voice at me before. He's been acting differently lately, he used to act like he wanted to constantly be around me but now he acts like it's a bother to have to be around me. I don't understand what i've done. Maybe he doesn't like me anymore because i'm so fat or maybe i've done something to make him mad.
I sit on the couch and think of all the possible things I could have done to make him mad.
At around 6am I go make breakfast, I make eggs,bacon,and toast. I make two plates and go sit them on the table, a few minutes later Josh comes down and grabs his plate and walks into the living room to eat.
I just finish eating and then I take a quick shower and get dressed then I grab my keys and head out the door. I'm going to pick up Becky,she's been busy getting ready to head off to college in a couple weeks so I haven't really seen her much. We're going out shopping and then to lunch later today.

I get to her house and honk the horn,there's no way i'm walking all the way to the door.
A few minutes later she comes out and gets in the car.
"Oh my gosh. I feel like I haven't seen you in forever!" Becky says.
"It's only been a couple weeks. Calm down.'' I laugh.
"So how's everything been going?"
"Everything's been umm.. Okay? I guess."
"Josh still being a dick?"
"Yeah." I told Becky about how Josh has been acting towards me the last time I saw her.
"I'm sorry. Maybe it's just a faze." she said giving me a sympathetic look.
"Maybe."
I pull into the parking lot of the mall and look for a parking place after 5 minutes of circling the parking lot I finally find one. Once I park we get out and go in.
We go to a few different stores and Becky gets a bunch of stuff for her apartment. I don't understand why she doesn't just wait until she moves to buy stuff for her place but she said she's to excited to wait so she's buying it now.
We go to about 8 different stores before I decide I need a break. I go sit on a bench in the mall while Becky is shopping.
While sitting here i'm looking around the mall at all the different stores and people. As i'm looking around my eyes land on Josh walking through the mall holding hands with Bella.

Not as it seems
Stranded inside the world he'd been writing about for years, Arwen is left at the mercy of the characters and setting he'd so lovingly created. Now trapped and powerless save for his knowledge of the secrets the world holds, he has to find his way back home. Hopefully to make it there in one piece. But things aren't going to be easy, as the further he plunges into his world, the more he will realize things aren't quite what he thought them to be. This story is a case study on a realistic approach to isekai as well as what it means to "know" someone / something, and to "KNOW" them. There will be hard themes and uncomfortable truths, and just like with real life, it will show things as they are unfiltered.

Demon Hunters
Far in the future, the last two viable cities in the western hemisphere – Technoburbia and New Baravia – struggle for control over a vast and largely desolate land. Officially they are at war. In practice, the war has been a stalemate for a generation, the disputed frontier between the two city-states never moving. In the city of New Baravia itself, a vast circular concrete wall keeps its inhabitants in, and its refugees out. For its citizens, life is monotonous and unequal, with enormous wealth in the hands of nobles, criminal gangs, and entertainment bosses. It is the last of these that control the hit entertainment show, “Demon Hunters”. A chance, perhaps, for the ordinary man or woman to rise up, and change their fate... This LitRPG novella is based around a futuristic battle-royale situation, partly set in VR, and partly in a post-apocalyptic city. The story features combat and action, some strong language, and lots of great characters that will stick with you! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Tom Is Chill
An eye for an eye may make the whole world go blind but at least that f***er can't see either. The early bird gets the worm but I go to the grocery store so screw you. Technically humans don't need to breathe. If no one had any more children everyone would be dead in the next one hundred fifty years probably. Does this count as a synopsis? No? Okay. Tom murders a bunch of dudes. *Tom Dies*. Tom is reborn. Tom doesn't want to be reborn but no one really cares. Tom is born in a new world. He didn't really have to be though. Cause his old world had magic and all. I don't want to give anything away. I swear this fiction is more serious than I am I just find it hard to write a synopsis. Maybe I should write something like this. "Follow Earnheart Super Maximus on his gender-bender super adventures that are exciting and often humorous as he gathers a bunch of chicks for literally no reason." I mean that's what everyone else does and it seems to work.
