《My Best Friend's Baby》Chapter:16
Advertisement
I wake up and look over at Josh with a big smile on my face. Today is the day we go back to Evansville and I am beyond excited. We finished getting everything packed last night and we got everything loaded into the cars except the things we'll need this morning before we leave.
I get out of bed and go check on Liv,she's asleep so I quietly leave her room and go downstairs.
I go into the kitchen and get out stuff to make for breakfast for everyone. Alice and her boyfriend Charlie are here,they got here last night,they came to help pack and stuff and Alice is going to drive my car so that I can sit in the back seat with Liv.
Mom walks into the kitchen and straight out the door leading to the garage without even glancing in my direction. She hasn't muttered a word to me since she found out about Liv and I moving in with Josh. She won't be around me either she has spent the past few days in her room whenever she was home but I'm not going to let her bring me down today!
Just as I finish making breakfast Alice and Charlie come into the kitchen.
"Good morning."I say in a cheerful tone.
"Good morning." They reply in unison as they sit down at the table.
I fix four plates and sit two in front of them and two across from them.
I sit down just as Josh walks in with Liv.
"Good morning." I say with a huge smile.
He places Liv in her bouncer and then takes a seat next to me. "Good morning." He says as he give me a kiss on the cheek.
Once we get done eating Josh and Charlie both go upstairs to get ready to leave, they are going to leave a few hours before us so that they can get everything unloaded before we get there.

Alice and I clean up the kitchen and then we head upstairs,I take Liv into her nursery and change her before laying her in her crib and quietly leaving the room.
I go out into the hallway just as Josh is coming out of my room.
"Okay as soon as Charlie gets done getting ready we're going to leave." Just as soon as he finishes his sentence Charlie comes out of his room.
"Are you ready to leave?" He asks Josh.
"Yeah just waiting on you."
"Okay just let me go tell Alice that we're leaving." Charlie says as he turns to back into the room he came out of.
"Okay I'll see you in a little bit." Josh says as he gives me a kiss. "I love you."
"Okay,love you too." I reply as he starts down the stairs.

Alice,Liv and I just got into Evansville, after Josh and Charlie left we just messed around watching movies and stuff for a few hours before I finally decided I was ready to leave.
What normally would be a two hour drive was nearly a three and a half hour drive for us because we had to stop so many times so it'll be nearly 8 pm by the time we get home but luckily Josh and Charlie got there at about 9 this morning and with the help of Josh's parents they got Liv's nursery all set up.
Josh told me that he had put most of my stuff away but he was more focused on Liv's room because her stuff absolutely had to be done today, so I'm just going to finish putting my things away tomorrow.
We pull into the driveway of the house,I hadn't really realized how much I missed this place until I saw it again. I feel tears of happiness in my eyes,I'm so happy to be back here.

I get out of the car and then I get Liv out of the car and start walking up to the front door. Just as I reach the steps Josh comes out and gives me the biggest hug ever. "Welcome home." He whispers in my ear.
"I'm glad to be home." I whisper back.
Charlie comes out of the house and walks over to where Alice is at. "We're going to get going." Alice says.
"Okay,thank you both for helping us." I say.
"You're welcome. See y'all later." she replies as she gets in her car.
Josh and I head into the house,we go up to Liv's room and I take Liv out of her car seat and change her diaper before laying her down in her crib.
After that we walk to our room which is a bit messy because my things aren't all put away, I rummage through everything til I find a pair of pajamas to wear. I take a quick shower before going back to the bedroom.
Josh is already laying in bed,I'm sure he's probably exhausted from having to move all of our stuff today. I crawl into bed next to him and cuddle up with him.
"Goodnight." I say.
"Goodnight." He replies as he places a kiss on my forehead.
*****
I'm woken up the next morning to the sound of Liv crying so I get out of ved and go check on her. I get to her room and pick her up out if the crib,I change her diaper before heading downstairs to fix her a bottle.
I feed Liv her bottle then I burp her before placing her into her bouncer so that I can make Josh and I breakfast.
I make bacon,eggs and toast,I plate it up and sit the plates at mine and Josh's places at the table before I run upstairs to wake him. Once I wake him up we go downstairs and have breakfast.
"I have to work today. Are you and Olivia going to be okay here?" Josh asks. "If not you can call Alice over or something since it's your first day back and all."
"We'll be fine. This won't be my first day alone with Liv." I say with a small laugh.
"Okay just checking."
After breakfast Josh runs upstairs and gets ready for work, once he's done he comes back downstairs.
"I'll be home by three. I love you." Josh says giving me a kiss and heading to the door.
"Okay,love you too."
I clean up the kitchen and decide to go over and visit Nikki since she doesn't know I'm back yet,I made sure nobody told her so that I could surprise her when we got back because she was so upset because she didn't get to meet Liv and she was sad because her baby and Liv wouldn't grow up together. I sent Matthew a text making sure it was okay for me to come surprise her and he replied back saying that we could come over at any time today.
I'm super excited to see her again it feels like I haven't seen her in forever.
I take Liv out of her bouncer and take her upstairs,I change her diaper and put her in a cute outfit before we leave. I decide to walk over to Nikki's house since it's only a few houses down so I place Liv into her stroller and start walking towards Nikki's.

But all is not as it seems in the Enclave or in the Project, and threats wait outside - from the armies of John Seid's America Eterna in the east, to their far-off allies the Invictan Empire, to the mysterious Aliens who have taken up residence in the sky and will speak only to Ifterra Project.

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.

His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
