《February of 1996》39
Advertisement
The next morning Irena and Fred woke up tired, again having to wake up every three hours.
Ron and Ginny were able to come to St Mungo's hospital and see their nephew Alek.
There was a knock on the door. Fred got up from the sofa where he has been sleeping since the bed Irena was sleeping in was too small for the two of them.
"Welcome, Ronniekins and Ginevra," said Fred, opening the door to his two younger siblings. "Don't call me that," said Ginny walking into the room Ron behind her.
Irena was sitting on the bed holding Alek. She was in a bit of pain, but she already took the potion that Anna gave her yesterday; she was feeling better.
Ginny and Ron got closer to Irena, seeing that she was holding the baby. "Is it a boy," asked Ron looking at his older brother Fred. "Yes, his name is Alek." "Alek," said Ron. The name sounded different, but he liked it. That was the name of his first nephew.
"You want to carry him," ask Irena, moving Alek a little to the front in Ron's direction. "No, no," said Ron moving backwards. "I do," said Ginny, pushing Ron to the side. Fred got a hold of Ron before he fell.
Irena handed Alek to Ginny; she moved Ginny's hands to a better position; that way, Alek was comfortable, and his little head was supported.
Ron got closer to Ginny. He was by her side with his hands behind his back, just looking at Alek. "You can carry him; there's nothing to be scared of," Irena told Ron. Ron was not convinced he didn't want to accidentally drop his nephew. "Maybe later." Ginny got so comfortable carrying Alek that she started to walk around the room with him in her arms.

Ron took a seat on the bed next to Irena. Ginny was walking towards Ron "your turn." "What! Ginny, no, I don't want to." "Come on; I'm going to let him go." "No!," said Fred, Irena, and Ron in unison.
He knew that Ginny wouldn't let him go, but just in case, he got Alek. "See, that wasn't that hard." Ron didn't move; it looked like he didn't even want to breathe. He was paralyzed; he was scared that if he moved, Alek would cry. Fred looked at his brother "you know you can breathe right," he told Ron with his arms crossed. Irena smiled at Ron. A few minutes went by, and Ron got comfortable holding Alek. He didn't get up from the bed, though.
They talked for a few hours until it was time for them to go back to Hogwarts. A healer came into the room. "Good news Mrs. Weasley you can go home tomorrow morning," said the healer looking at Irena's file. Irena was surprised by being called Mrs. Weasley after a few seconds, she responded. "Uhm, thank you." "I just need to see Alek one more time." Fred was carrying Alek; the healer took him.
"Finally, we can go home tomorrow," said Fred. "Are you returning to the shop?" "Not yet Im going to stay with you and Alek for a few more days." Irena smiled at that, "great because I don't think I can take care of him on my own right now. It hurts to walk." "That's normal, remember what Anna said. I can ask for more of that potion before we leave tomorrow."
Irena smiled at Fred as he leaned closer and kissed her on the lips. Irena slowly moved to the side of the bed to leave some space for Fred so he could sit next to her. Fred took a seat and leaned his back against the wall. They were quiet for a few minutes enjoying the silence that these last two days didn't get much of. "We are parents Rena," Fred said, turning to look at Irena. She chuckled lightly, "I can't believe it." "How did this happen," asked Fred, raising an eyebrow. Irena rolled her eyes. "Well, you see, Frederick. There was this Valentine's Day party..."

To Kill Eternity
[FINISHED]The year is 2015, and the denizens of Halcyon are about to welcome the 20th resurrection of demon lord Samundo with cakes ( possibly), swords, and sorceries. However, in truth, all they do is pretending to panic. How can anyone take the demon lord seriously if all it does is being unfailingly vanquished ? Plus, this time, they may have the help of the chosen one, a being that guarantees their victory. Who can be worried? Obviously, people who are not blind to the truth for millennia.Hiatus Sovanno, Aria Tansine and Wander, three 15-year-old demon hunters have always expected to die before they even see Samundo with their own eyes. They are more concerned with bullies, exams, and job opportunities than with his return.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized

On top of all that, the ghosts of his past wouldn't let go of him... This was going to be one hell of a journey. Updated twice a week Volume 1 is finished. Volume 2 is running.
