"What's this?" Annette asked when Gracie handed her the bag that contained her gift.
"It's a present for you Grammy." Gracie said.
Annette smiled and pulled out the little velvet box and opened it.
"Oh my." Annette said.
She carefully picked up the locket and opened it. Inside was a picture of Becky and one of Gracie.
"This is lovely." Annette said.
"Why cry?" Gracie asked. "Do you need a hug?"
"Grammy always needs a hug." Annette said and Gracie hugged her.
"All better?" Gracie asked.
"Yes, thank you darling." Annette said.
Gracie smiled and moved over to Seth and climbed onto his lap.
"Getting sleepy?" Seth asked.
"A little." Gracie said.
"All this travel is crazy huh?" Becky said.
"But fun." Gracie said.
"That too." Becky said.
"How about we have dinner and you can go to sleep." Annette said.
"Food?" Gracie said sitting up.
"Definitely your mother's daughter." Annette said.
"She does love her food." Becky said. "So what's for dinner?"
"I made Irish Nachos and stew." Annette said.
"Yum." Becky said. "Ready to try new foods?"
"Yes." Gracie said.
Becky smiled and they walked to the kitchen.
"I made two styles." Annette said. "Vegetarian and regular."
"Vegetarian please." Gracie said.
"You got it." Becky said dishing her up some.
"So no meats?" Annette asked as they all dishes up and sat down.
"She will try to say she tried but she's not big on them." Seth said.
"Stinky." Gracie said.
"Some do strink." Becky said smiling.
"Are you excited to try cake tomorrow?" Annette asked.
"No." Gracie said. "I want grapes."
"She's not big in sweets." Becky said smiling. "Chocolates now and again but she loves her health foods."
"Cake can be good for your soul." Annette said.
"Grapes are better." Gracie said. "Right daddy?"
"If you want grapes, then grapes you shall have." Seth said.
Gracie smiled and ate her food before she began nodding off.
"I will get her ready for bed." Becky said.
"And I will help clean up." Seth said.
"Me too." Josh said.
"Ready for a story?" Seth asked she Gracie reappeared.
"Yes." Gracie said walking over with her favorite book in her hands.
Seth smiled and picked her up and she curled upon his lap and Seth read her story.
"One of my favorite times of the day." Becky said as Annette smiled next to her.
"She's a great girl." Annette said.
"She picked your present herself, she saw a picture in a magazine and knew she wanted to get you one." Becky said.
"He's a good da." Annette said.
"He's a great da." Becky said.
"And you are a great mom." Seth said coming over. "I'll tuck her in."

"Sweet dreams luv." Becky said kissing her head.
"Night mommy." Gracie said. "Night Grammy."
"Night darling." Annette said.
Seth smiled and carried Gracie to bed.
"Does she like Pancakes?" Annette asked.
"She does." Becky said. "Loves helping me cook."
"Good, she can help me in the morning." Annette said.
"She will love that." Seth said reappearing.
"I think it's time we hit the hay too, it's been a long day." Becky said.
Annette smiled and hugged her before she took Seth's hand and led him to her room.
"You look very content." Seth said.
"I feel very content." Becky said. "I am home in Ireland, I have you and our daughter with me and tomorrow we get to introduce Gracie to my da and brother."
"I am glad your mom got today." Seth said.
"Me too." Becky said. "Seeing Gracie with my ma was mind blowing."
"I know what you mean." Seth said. "Our daughter is one loved little girl."
"She is." Becky said. "Which is why I have been thinking a lot about McKenna's family."
"Oh." Seth said.
"I want to write them a letter and tell them about her and the life she has, send them pictures if they want and maybe find a way to let them be a part of her life. I know what they did to McKenna was wrong and they have to live with that guilt and they'll have to answer all of Gracie's questions when she's older and has them. But we wouldn't have her if things worked out differently. Gracie deserves to be loved by all who can love her healthily and can support her in her life."
"Okay." Seth said.
Becky smiled and leaned up and kissed him.
"You are an amazing man do you know that?" Becky asked.
"I am am I?" Seth said.
"You are." Becky said moving to straddle his lap. "The." She kissed him. "Most." She kissed him again." "Amazing." She deepen the kiss and they made love before falling asleep.
"Mommy." Gracie called when Becky came into the kitchen.
"Morning luv." Becky said.
"I helped Grammy make pancakes." Gracie said.
"You did, how awesome was that." Becky said.
"Look she gave me my own apron." Gracie said.
"I had one like that when I was little." Becky said.
"That was it, just with a new pocket." Annette said.
"Wow." Becky said.
"It's okay that it's mine now right?" Gracie asked.
"More then okay." Becky said scooping her up.
"Thank you mommy." Gracie said hugging her.
"You are welcome." Becky said.
"Where is daddy?" Gracie asked.
"He is laying in bed waking up." Becky said.
"Cuddles." Gracie said.
"Go for it." Becky said setting her down and watching her race off.

"Morning darling." Annette said pouring her a cup of coffee.
"Morning." Becky said. "How was your morning with Gracie?"
"Amazing." Annette said smiling. "It warms my heart every time she say Gammy."
"She's been talking about seeing you non stop for days now." Becky said.
"Josh told me." Annette said.
"Where is he?" Becky asked.
"He had some errands to run." Annette said. "He said he meet you all for cake tasting later."
"Okay." Becky said. "He been amazing with Gracie the last few weeks."
"You have a great support system around you." Annette said.
"We do." Becky said as her phone went off. "It's da."
"Gracie is excited to meet him." Annette said.
"I know, kinda crazy I am introducing my daughter to my family." Becky said. "She's talked to everyone on video call but face to face is something different."
"Your da is going to love her just like I do." Annette said. "She feels very much your daughter."
"She always has." Becky said.
"How did you meet her again?" Annette asked.
"We we're doing a children's hospital visit." Becky said. "We were walking down a hall and she turned and smiled at me and I was just drawn into the room."
"You're mine and my mama's favorite wessler." Gracie said from Seth's arm.
"That is what you said." Becky said. "Did you enjoy cuddles with daddy?"
"Yes, but he said I smell like syrup and the last time I did he tried to eat me." Gracie said.
"He did." Becky said smiling.
"So we came to feed him." Gracie said.
"Well we have plenty." Annette said and he and Becky dished up. "How about while these two eat we get you cleaned up and dressed?"
"Okay Grammy, I have my outfit picked out." Gracie said. "It's speacial for when I meet Grampy."
"I bet he will love it." Annette said and she took Gracie from the room.
"My mom is over the moon with her granddaughter." Becky said.
"That's good." Seth said. "Gracie said she had an amazing morning making breakfast and talking to your mom about you."
"I bet she has loads of questions." Becky said.
"She does." Seth said smiling. "But she is very happy."
"That is great." Becky said. "My man and my baby happy."
"More then happy." Seth said leaning over and kissing her.
After breakfast they cleaned up and got ready for the day.
"Look mommy." Gracie said. "Do you like my braids?"
"You look adorable in braids." Becky said. "Did you thank Grammy for doing then?"
"Yes." Gracie said.
"Are you ready to go meet your grandda and Uncle Richy?" Becky asked.
"I am." Gracie said. "I got their presents."
"Good." Becky said.
"I will see you three later for the cake tasting." Annette said. "Have fun."
"We will." Becky said.
"There's my girl." Ken said hugging Becky.
"Da." Becky said hugging him. "Rich."
"Hey." Rich said hugging her.
"Are you two ready?" Becky asked smiled.
"More then ready." Ken said.
Becky turned and waved to Seth walked over with Gracie.
"Da, Rich this is Gracie, Gracie this is your Grandda and your Uncle Richy." Becky said.
"Hello." Gracie said.
"Hello." Both men said.
"Let's sit." Ken said.
"Daddy." Gracie said and Seth smiled and sat down with Gracie on his lap as Becky sat next to him.
"You wanna pass out your presents?" Becky asked and Gracie nodded taking one and handing it to Ken and then taking the other and handed it to Rich.
"Did you pick these out yourself?" Ken asked.
"Yes." Gracie said. "Daddy paid but I picked."
"That's how it works." Ken said.
"Open." Gracie said.
Both chuckled and opened their presents.
"Wow, this is nice." Rich said.
"Mommy says you're an artist." Gracie said.
"I am." Rich said. "These tools will work nicely."
"Mommy said you might teach me to make something while we're here." Gracie said.
"We can do that." Rich said.
"Do you like it Grampy?" Gracie asked as Ken looked at the pocket watch he got with Gracie and Becky's picture inside.
"I love this." Ken said. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Gracie said. "Can I have some cocoa?"
"Yes." Seth said stopping a waitress and ordering her one and them some coffee.
Ken sat mesmerized as Gracie told him about her travels through Europe and all the cool things she's done.
"You've made his year." Rich said. "All year he's been so proud of you, everything you've done with wwe, your relationship with Seth and now this. It's been the year of Becky."
"I am just living my life." Becky said.
"You are and that is why we're a so proud." Rich said. "You're happy, health and living a great life."
"What about your life?" Becky asked.
"My life is doing good, I am seeing someone new but it's to soon to introduce her to family but if things keep going this way I will bring her to your wedding." Rich said.
"Okay." Becky said. "Speaking of weddings, I think we need to head over and met Grammy and Uncle Josh for cake tasting."
"I still think grapes would be better." Gracie said making everyone giggle.
"How about we give the cakes a try and if you don't like them you can have grapes." Seth said.
"Okay." Gracie said. "You're the best daddy."
Seth smiled and scooped her up and they headed to meet everyone at the bakery.

This is the story of how a deathtrap becomes a haven, and how a good man becomes a killer. This story is eventually intended for publishing via Amazon, however, you have my word it will be left up for at least five weeks from the time it is completed (at which point I might be posting the second installment on here), so you don't need to worry about it disappearing overnight. Also, bear in mind that this is all a first draft before any significant edits. There will likely be spelling, grammar and continuity errors, I will address them as soon as I spot them or you point them out. I read every comment (and reply, time permitting). Please feel free to criticize (I suspect I have a somewhat longwinded writing style, shouting really does help :) ), and above all enjoy.

A Fate Set in Stone (On Hold)
After dying and making his way into the afterlife, our protagonist happens to have a stroke of good luck. With the help of the substitute god of death, he's given a second shot at life in a world run by gods who probably played too many video games as kids. Monsters, magic, dungeons, bandits, and all that good stuff is there, except it turns out to be much different than Jed initially expected.(I picked some generic tags since this is my first story and I am not 100% sure where it is going to go. Mature warning is only there for some less-than-polite language.)

Deviant Rule
When their world changed, everyone began chasing the same thing. The emergence of an energy that could make you strong enough to take anything you wanted changed everyone. They blinded themselves to a part of the world's new truth. For them, the only truth was that the powerful would rule the weak. Alius was someone different from all of them. A deviation from the plan. It made him hated. His only question was why? Why did they think his path was wrong? Maybe... they were the ones who had made a mistake. (The warnings are mainly to give myself creative freedom in the future. While we're here, I would also like to warn you that there will be a decently chaotic release schedule. Add that to the first-time experience and you have a crappy story that might get better. Enjoy what you can!)
