《The Thorned Rose》45 - end

Today was the day we were getting the puppy, and Fabricio was so nervous. It was so funny to watch as he paced backwards and forwards, because he knew the seriousness of this, not only did he have to actually look after the dog, but if he couldn't look after the dog, I wasn't about to give him a damn baby!
"Oh God, I'm so scared," he was fiddling with his fingers as he paced, sometimes running his hand through his hair.
"Fabricio, it's a dog! What are you scared about?!" I stood up from the bed and grabbed his hands so he would stop fiddling and stop pacing, because it was really irritating me.
"If I can't look after this dog you aren't going to want to have a baby with me... also what if it hates me?!" he looked into my eyes, looking slightly fearful.
"Stop worrying!!"
"Ughhhhhh."
The doorbell rang for the cabin, which is where we had been staying just the two of us since the ball, just wanting to get some private time to ourselves, although we still went over sometimes to the main house for dinners and things. I told Fabri to stay in the bedroom and I would go and meet the guy. Once everything was sorted, signed and paid for, I held the little guy in my arms. It was a very handsome, male, German Shepherd, because I know Fabricio wanted one that could be a sort of guard dog.
"Okay, you can meet him now," I called out to the bedroom, but the door didn't open. This fucking guy man, I swear, he was acting like a child! Still with the little puppy in my arms, who was nuzzled against me, I opened the door to the bedroom.
Sitting on the sofa with his head in his hands was Fabricio. Fucking hell, at least he cared about the dog and my feelings, but he needed to actually hold the dog. I snuck over him and held the puppy out, who proceeded to lick Fabricio's face. He shot his head up, looked straight into the puppy's eyes, and they instantly filled with warmth. He took the puppy out of my hands and hugged it to his chest, as it nuzzled against him.
"Oh my God, I love him. I'm going to name him...... Dexter!" he exclaimed, making me laugh and smile because of how happy he was. Dexter, that was a good name for the dog, but I was going to have input on the name of our baby, if we had one... God, I didn't know what to do about a baby.

Seeing Fabricio cradling the puppy, and absolutely adoring it, taking the best care of it, showed me that he would be an amazing father, but what about me, could I be an amazing mother? Did I even want a baby? I didn't know what to do, or what to think. An assassin having a baby doesn't work, but I haven't worked as an assassin since I came out of my coma, even though I shot that man in self-defence, and fought that gang member, neither of that was 'assassin work'. But, how would I be able to fight someone in self-defence if I was pregnant? Would I just be completely useless against someone trying to kill me or my baby? I know I would have Fabricio, but he couldn't be next to be every minute of every day, no one could. Domenico was dead, that was true, we were on top, the most feared couple in Italy, and I was the most feared in the world, but surely that meant we would have a whole array of enemies that wanted nothing more than to see us fall?
If none of these problems around my status and who I was existed, then how would I feel about a baby? I guess that is important too. Well, I love Fabricio, and I know I would love the baby, but I am still just coming to terms with everything, and I have come so close to being completely overwhelmed a couple of times I just don't want to put myself in a position like that if there is a baby involved. I think I still needed time... anyway, Fabricio and I aren't married anyway.
"Yes, of course I'll marry you!" I said, as he held a velvet box with the most beautiful engagement ring, on one knee, after pouring his heart out to me.
"Fuck," he breathed a sigh of relief, putting the ring on my finger. Then he stood up, grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into him, kissing me passionately. "I love you so much," he spoke into the kiss.
"I love you too."
I wanted the perfect wedding, so with the help of my mother, Donna, Loretta and Nadia, as well as Polga, the wedding planner, we spent hours, which turned into days, into weeks and then months sorting it all out. Now I was stood here, the day before the wedding, about to go to lunch with my fiancé, before we had to be separated for the night. It was some kind of tradition, and I am not traditional at all, but apparently he is, fuck sake.

"I want to get the surgery," I spurted out before I realised.
"What, to be able to get pregnant?" he said, looking at me in shock.
"Yeah," I twiddled my thumbs slightly looking down. I felt his hand on my cheek as he lifted my head up so I was looking into his eyes.
"You are an amazing woman," he said to me, "I am so in love with you." Then he kissed me.
The wedding went perfectly, I looked fucking sexy in my white dress, and he looked fit in his tuxedo. We said our vows, we exchanged the rings, and we kissed at the altar. Just before the reception, he dragged me into our hotel room and fucked me, hard, being careful to removed my wedding dress first, so it wasn't wrinkled or ripped. I didn't realise being married would make me this damned horny, but apparently it did! He helped me slip back into my wedding dress, and if it wasn't for the post-sex glow I had, you would never have known we were just fucking like some high schoolers sneaking out between classes, but it was hot, and oh so very sexy.
"DEXTER!" my husband yelled as he saw our German shepherd, who was now almost fully grown, sat down next to his chair, waiting for him. As soon as he saw Fabricio he ran over to him and jumped up, licking his face. Ugh, I would make sure he cleaned his face before I licked him tonight. God, that sounds so wrong, but I don't care, because it pisses Fabricio off sometimes if we are just cuddled in bed and I turn and lick his face. I can never take him seriously when he is pissed off, it makes me laugh so much, which only pisses him off more, and makes me laugh at him even more. It is basically a vicious circle.
We had sex until we both passed out that night, in every position, in the shower, on the bed, on the sofa, over the desk, the coffee table, everywhere else in our hotel suite. I woke up tangled in his arms and legs, and he in mine. If I had never met him, I wondered where I would be now. Would I still be an assassin, working for Nadia? Would my parents still be in hiding in Russia? Would I still have no feelings, not a shred of any emotion ever? Probably yes, to all of those questions. I loved being an assassin, but did I regret not being one anymore? No, no I didn't. I didn't realise before what love was. I always saw couples walking around, holding hands, but I never realised myself just exactly what it was, what is meant to people. My mother explained to me what it was, but it was Fabricio who showed me how to love, what love means, and how important love it.
I underwent the surgery, got my tubes untied, and proceeded to make love to Fabricio again, and again, and again, with some breaks in between to cuddle Dexter, eat, sleep and go on walks, but other than that it was just the two of us. Within three months I was pregnant, but I hadn't quite told Fabricio yet; I wanted to surprise him with the news, but I had no idea how, so I called up Loretta for some advice.
He came home from work that day, because we had both decided that we needed hobbies other than just fucking eachother raw and until we passed out. What can I say, we were two very horny people, with a lot of stamina!
"Fabricio?" I asked, after he greeted me with a kiss.
"Yes darling?"
"I made you a tea," I said, handing him a cup. I sat with him, and watched him drink it, as I drank mine. He was a painfully slow drinker, which was annoying because the message was at the bottom of the mug.
"Oh my God you are so slow!" I stood up, took the cup out of his hands, forced myself not to laugh at his shocked, confused, and slight angry face, and poured the rest of the tea in the plant next to me.
"What?!" he complained. I shoved the mug back in his hands. "Oh. My. God." He read the message. It was a short message, but it just said 'Hello DILF.'
"By DILF you mean..."
"I mean, dad-I'd-like-to-fuck, yes."
"And that means..."
"Yes, you are going to be a dad."
"So, you're..."
"Yes, baby," I laughed, taking his face in my hands, "I'm pregnant." He lunged forward towards me, kissing me hungrily. Then he broke away and placed a soft hand on my belly, kissing it tenderly.
"I love you, Savannah."
"I love you too, Fabricio."
"How many times, don't call me that!"
"I'll call you whatever I want!"
"Ughhh."
"We're having a baby!" I squealed.
"We're having a baby," he repeated, looking at me with so much adoration in his eyes.
The end.

Cinder Roots (Undergoing a Rewrite)
This novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite, as I noticed several plot points that needed to be revamped. I'll leave the chapters I've posted here to anyone curious to see how everything started, but I'll be posting the rewritten story as a new novel in the future. The characters will be the same, but the journey will be more understandable and hopefully, a lot more fun to read. -------- First, everything was fire, it killed, it consumed, and it gave him life. He was just a tree, born in the biggest forest that remained in the world, full of dryads, naiads, elves and treants, but he was alone. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t talk. Curiosity plagued him. He dreamed of wandering the land, but could only wonder what stood outside the reach of his roots. The tree was tired of waiting. He decided to not just dream, but to act. How could he survive against a invading empire, a grand conspiracy that threatened to shake the foundations of the world, and the raw danger that lies within these woods? With pure determination. Warning - There are quite a few POV changes in the first chapters, but that'll change after the introduction is done, as I'll be focusing on the MC perspective only.

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
