《The Ballet Shoes》Nothing Like Starting Over

"Hey princess it's time to get going it's a three hour drive." Louis whispered into Harry's ear waking him.
"Five more minutes please." Harry whined.
"No babe come on. You need shower and get beautiful. So we can go." Louis kissed all over his face planting a quick one on the bump of his stomach.
Harry yawned throwing the duvet off of him. He walked into the bathroom dropping his boxers as he turned on the water. He jumped when Louis snuck in quietly wrapping his arms around him. He was naked too.
"We can't have sex you know?" Harry said.
"Well shit but we can still shower together though." he smiled.
They stepped into the shower.
Louis took in Harry. He was beautiful the way the water cascaded down his body. Louis grabbed Harry's fruity soap and washed his body going in gentle circles on his stomach.
"You are so perfect to me." Louis cooed.
They both washed each other in turn. They both put on baggy clothes and packed a few extra cause there was no way they were driving back the same night. They'd have to get a hotel.
"Lou who's car are we taking?"
"Yours it be more comfortable." he picked up the bag of their clothes and the suits.
"I'm pregnant Louis not useless let me carry something."
"Okay look in our closet and get the bag from the shelf." Louis bit his lip.
Harry grabbed the bag and opened it when Louis nodded. He pulled out a pink bodywrap.
"I've been forgetting to give that to you. It's my I'm sorry for ripping your wrap gift." Louis smiled.
Harry walked kissing him.
"I love it thank you babe." he smiled.
He put it back in closet and followed Louis out. He turned around locking the door and twisting the knob hard making sure it was locked and it was. He was nervous yet again.
"Wait," Harry said stopping bending over throwing up "damn morning sickness."
"You alright?" Louis asked as he unlocked the back.
"Yeah I'm good." he smiled.
They got in and for some reason not but thirty minutes into the ride Harry fell asleep.
"Hey princess wake up." Louis shook him gently.
"How did I fall asleep?"
"I don't know but we are at the hotel." he knodded towards the hotel.
"Must be the baby." Harry said.
It was 5 o'clock on the dot. They would have to be quick changing. They quickly changed into their suits and they were ready.
They arrived behind a few cars there's a lot of people here.
"Holy shit your parents live here?" Louis asked in awe of the giant house.
"Yeah."
They got out and Harry immediately grabbed Louis hand. The car was parked by one of the servants. Harry didn't let go as he walked in. He was nervous as hell and cursed himself for coming.
"Calm down don't stress the baby," Louis said kissing his cheek "I'm right here and won't leave your side."
Harry nodded. He looked around the room awkwardly. He was really looking for Gemma. He caught sight her in the front room, she was sat alone and she looked rather down.
"Come on." Harry pulled Louis through the crowd.
He swallowed and breathed out when he reached Gemma. He didn't let go of Louis' hand if he did he wouldn't of been able to talk.
"H-hey Gem." Harry said.
Gemma looked up and stood.

"Harry, I can't believe you came. I was just thinking about you. God how I've missed you baby brother." she pulled him into a hug causing him to let go of Louis' hand.
"I really only came for you." Harry admitted breaking the hug and taking Louis' hand again.
"Sit down you two." she smiled.
"Gemma this is my boyfriend Louis, Louis this is dear sister Gemma." Harry smiled.
Gemma extended her hand and Louis shook it with his free hand. Then they sat.
"So uh your pregnant?" Gemma smiled.
"I am." Harry was relieved to know Gemma wasn't angry about it.
"Yes! I'm going to be an aunt!" Gemma squealed lowly.
Harry and Louis giggled and Harry rested his head on his shoulder causing Louis to wrap and arm around his waist to put his hand on Harry's tummy.
"I sure hope mum doesn't find us." Harry says looking around at the people.
"Nah I don't think she will she's too occupied with everyone else to care about her bloody children obviously."
"She has a lot of audacity that's for sure." Louis said.
"I don't want to say I hate her but sometimes it really feels like it." Gemma had tears in her eyes.
"Don't cry Gem." Harry said.
"We can all go have our own party some where. You two can show me places you used to go and all." Louis suggested.
"Yeah! Let's do it!" Gemma said enthused.
"Really?" Harry said.
"Yeah come on we'll take my car." Gemma said.
They all left just as easily as they came in. Each of them admitted they felt suffocated.
Harry and Louis took off their blazers and untucked their shirts. Then buckled in and once again Louis put his hand on Harry's stomach. Harry rested his hand on top of Louis'.
"Off we go." Harry said.
"Right. Where we going first Harold?" Gemma peeped at them through the rearview mirror smiling.
"Let's take him down my memory lane first." Harry smiled.
"Okie dokie." Gemma chirped making a quick right.
"Jesus take it easy would you? I got a unborn baby I'd like to meet!" Louis said sounding worried.
"As long as I'm here nothing will happen to our baby." Harry whispered in his ear reminding him of what he said the day before.
Louis kissed his head.
"Right." he whispered back.
"Oh! Gemma stop here they should be closing up now and I can get us some delicious bread I've been tasting for since I got pregnant." Harry grabbed Louis' hand pulling him out the car.
"What's this place? " Louis asked.
"It's the first place I worked," he smiled sniffing in the scent "W. Mandeville."
Harry walked through the doors being met with confused faces. Of the many old faces of the women who used to spoil him.
"Barbara darling!" Harry chirped letting go of Louis' hand.
"Harry love!" Barbara rounded the counter and gave him a big hug.
Louis watched how happy looked to be back at home and visiting his friends and old places. He was worried more or less about his mum ruining everything for him. He didn't want that to happen he loved seeing Harry happy like this.
"What brings you back? I've not seen you here in proper ages!" Barbara had her hand on Harry's waist.
Louis watched her carefully. You could say he was overprotective but he couldn't help it. He finally had something to live for not just Harry but the baby, their baby, his baby. Of anything happened to it, it would destroy him.

"A dinner party that I didn't really want to attend, I only really came back for Gem she's in the car. Oh silly me! Barbara this is my boyfriend Louis he's the father of our baby too," Harry said and Barbara squealed excitedly "Louis this is Barbara the mother I always wanted."
Louis extended his hand and she shook it.
"Pleased to meet you." Louis said with a smile.
"Now I'm here for some of that delicious raisin and honey cinnamon swirl bread." Harry said.
"Coming right up sweet." Barbara disappeared behind the counter.
Louis wrapped his arm around Harry holding him close.
"Your tastings are going to have me running to the shop for you for ages." Louis joked.
"Possibly but it's the baby's fault. She or he is going to have me fat." Harry smiled.
"If your fat baby I'd still love you just the same." Louis kissed his cheek.
"I love you." Harry said softly.
"I love you more." Louis said with a smile.
"I love you most."
Barbara came back with a pack of the bread. Harry took it and smelled it.
"Ah smells so good. What's the damage?" Harry asked for the price.
"Have I ever charged you for anything here?" Barbara said her hands on her hips.
"No."
"Right then take it and go don't keep that beautiful sister of yours waiting," Barbara grabbed Louis' arm "and you take good care of him!"
He looked at her and then Harry and smiled softly.
"I will love don't you worry." Louis kissed her cheek and they left.
They spent a good few hours visiting and telling Louis what happened there and what it meant to them. It was nice. Louis felt like he was part of them.
"It's half past 12 in the morning they are in bed and if they are up their drunk out of their asses, so get your car and go. If you don't want her catching you especially when she's drunk." Gemma pulled in the drive.
"Gem have you talked to dad at all?" Harry asked once they stopped.
"How about we meet for breakfast at the little cafe tomorrow then we will talk. Yeah?"
"Okay." Harry said and they got out.
Louis drove back to the hotel and got a close spot. Harry was greatful he was fighting his sleep and couldn't be bothered to walk a distance. Harry stripped down to his boxers and crawled into bed and Louis followed suit. Getting in the new position where he could hold both.
"Good n-" Louis stopped noticing Harry was already passed out.
*beep*
Louis how is he? I feel like hell for doing that to him. :( :'(
He's good but don't go trying to upset him more okay!
Wasn't going to, he'll come back after a while I know. He always does.
Don't be so sure
Whatever
Yeah whatever is all he is to you yeah? Good night Liam.
Louis shut off his phone and Harry's and went to sleep. He wasn't going to deal with Liams childish bullshit. It seemed as though both Harry and Louis were fed up.
~
The next morning they got ready and checked out. They met Gemma at the cafe.
"So have you?" Harry asked again after ordering.
"Yes, he said he'd like to talk to you. He misses you as well and is sorry. You know just like they all say." Gemma looked down.
Harry rested his cold hand on Gemmas. They made a bad decision outside when it's mid October.
"But what can you do?" Gemma smiled fakely.
"You have my number Gem don't let mum stomp on you like she did and still does to me. You are way more. How about that writing you've always wanted to do? Apply for journalism career in London, I'm sure it pays well." Harry said.
"I've always loved writing." Gemma sounded off.
"Then go for it!" Louis exclaimed "if you can dream it you can do it." he smiled at her.
Gemma smiled.
"I can see why you love him." she looked at them.
Harry smiled at the boy. Their food came and they ate. Harry made a list of good places to go for it at. He and Gemma hugged for five minutes.
"Stay good, yeah?" Harry said letting go of Gemma.
She nodded with glazed eyes.
"I love you Gem. Call me soon okay!" Harry said as they walked to the car.
"Text me when your back in London baby brother." she yelled.
~
The drive back seemed quick. Harry slept half the way back and stayed awake the rest of the way. They were so happy to be back. Harry found himself in the room that would be the nursery.
He pictured where everything would be. He thought of the names he'd call the baby too many crossed his mind to narrow it down to one boy name and one girl name.
"The changing table here with her or his name above it." he mumbled.
"Babe who are you talking to?" Louis said from the door frame.
"Myself I'm just thinking of where to put everything and thinking of names and what not." Harry smiled from the middle of the room.
Louis walked to him placing a hand on his stomach.
"We still have a bit before we have to start thinking of names but if I may say so I like the boy name Kaiser, and for a girl Adaline."
Harry looked at his growing tummy then at Louis and smiled.
"I like the boy name William yes it's your middle name but it sounds strong, and for someone who will do great things. For a girl maybe Hazel."
"All the names are cute but we have plenty of time to decide." he kissed his nose and went out.
"I can't wait to find out what it is." Harry said as Louis started dinner.
The smell made Harry feel nauseous.
"Hey now that's my favorite you will like it little one." Harry said to his stomach.
Louis giggled.
"I can't wait to find out who we have in there." Louis looked at Harrys stomach.
"What do you want it to be?"
"Honestly it doesn't matter as long as he or she is healthy and beautiful like you I'll be happy." he smiled.
"Well I can't play favorites but if I had to I want a girl. So I can put her in cute little bows and dresses and oh how cute it would be." Harry exclaimed.
Louis gave him a smile.
"I'd love a boy," Louis admitted "so I can teach him skateboard and how to play footie and how to get the boys or girls."
Harry smiled so hard his cheeks hurt. He was so happy. He started to cry and cursed the hormones for making him so damned emotional.
"What you crying for?" Louis said putting dinner on plates.
"Cause I'm really happy. That you changed and I have your baby in me. Thinking of you with our daughter or son makes me happy." Harry cried.
Louis smiled listening to the boy in awe.
"And how you changed for me and how you didn't leave when I told you and you immediately got us a place and how you told my mum off for ruining things and..."
Harry was cut off by Louis kissing him. He melted into his lips he could taste Louis' salty tears with his as their lips moved in sync. He found it strange how their lips seemed to be missing pieces how they fit and moved so perfectly together.
"I love you!" Harry said.
"I love you most." Louis breathed.
They sat at the bar and ate their dinner rambling on about names and how if it came to it they could combine them as first and middle names. Harry wanted to tell Liam but he didn't want Liam messing things up by maybe beating Louis up for knocking him up only to turn to Harry and yell at him like he's boss.
Harry wasn't going to have that his mark of one month was next week which meant he gets to the precious baby inside him but not alone this time, with Louis and he was excited they both were.
Louis was excited too and he said he wanted a lot of pictures and a long video. He wanted the baby here more than ever.
The baby became happiness for him and Harry both. They had their own little perfect world inside Harry.

The Primordial
With one goal fueling him, he broke through the final barrier, reaching the apex of power and regaining that which was once lost. Trying to find a new beginning, he reforged himself anew as he awoke to memories of a long forgotten past. Memories that intersected with his new reality. His invincible soul now unchained, surprises await him as he begins his new jouney in an unknown land. I'm just writing this for fun, but i'll never drop it. This won't be something short, as I have the very long term in mind, but I'm a total noob to writing, so I most likely won't release chapters very often, at least until I really get the hang of it. But, the chapters will always be several thousand words long. At the minimum 2k, maximum like 6k... Pretty big variations, sorry. If you like it, great. If you don't, that's understandable. Regardless, if you have a read, I'd appreciate feedback for areas you think I should improve on, whether it's the use of some words or how I should write something or WHATEVER. I'm open to anything, good or bad, because with your help, it'll help make this story better. **DISCLAIMER** So you don't waste your time, I want to let you know what you're getting into, because I like knowing ahead of time before I read something. This might appear like a Xianxia novel, but it's not. It only starts that way. This is a western fantasy world and setting that many of you are familiar with. The beginning chapters might be a bit of an info dump. Some of it might seems superfluous, but a lot of information is relevant to the story. The first few chapters might also seem rushed, but I'll try to keep it exclusive to those. This is a cliche, OP MC story with the typical harem, but other than the quick start, everything else will be gradual. There will be romance, and probably many moments at that, but don't expect anything TOO detailed. If you want something really steamy, look elsewhere. References and throwbacks to stuff most likely. The setting won't be really dark or really light. Middleground, I guess. The MC is far from a young kid, but he won't totally reflect his age. I don't plan on discarding info, abilities or characters that you KNOW should come back and be around. I see it a lot and it sort of bugs me haha... but I could have oversights, I dunno. As I said, I'm a noob. That's it, really. If you're interested, welcome to my world!

Royal Guard (Complete)
I was an ordinary worker ant of the Kingdom, one of the millions populating a spread of land ten kilometers long. I had an ordinary life: I dug, I ate, and I slept; and a dream that was shared by all workers who wanted to live a life of adventure. I was on the last day of my mandatory community service, a day from becoming one of the harvesters --the crown jewel of our society-- when fate played its sick joke on me. I broke my mandible, lost my dream, and was almost forced into slavery as a result. That’s when she came into my life, a princess. She had no wings on her back, but the wings inside her were wider than the fairies that roamed the sky. She took me under her wing and populated my life with adventures and mysteries unreserved for a mere harvester. Life was good until we found termites sneaking into our territory. That’s when the adventures ended. She was mocked for calling the termites a threat. However, she remained determined to protect her kingdom, and I, to protect her. No matter the difficulties I remained by her side. Because we were a pair: a princess and her Royal Guard.

The Dark Lord Gillian - Tales of Prompted Madness (Complete)
There's an evil wizard. A dark knight. An elf with a shovel. There's a dude with a car. And there is a lot of just complete and total chaos. ... As an explanation for those mildly interested or mildly confused: this is a story that was crafted from the beloved-madness that is r/writingprompts. From one prompt, to the next prompt, to the next, with no other way to progress except taking a new prompt and using it. Far as stories go, this one was spawned by a mix of blind-clicks, and dice-rolls, more than any true selection process. Fantasy driven, it was written mostly in my spare hours between work-projects and on lunch breaks (whenever I was lucky enough to get those) by clicking on reddit writingprompts that I could find within those windows of time. Title is notable cliche, and I'm far more than just open to alternative suggestions. This story is complete and will by copied and pasted in with minimal to no clean-up. It will not be held to much in the way of quality standards. So if you have corrections, just keep that in mind... But, on the brighter-side of things, there will be an awful lot of it. Apologies ahead of time.
