《More Than 12 Rounds》Chapter 29

Sitting there nervous as hell as Malaysia passed around the little gift boxes to each of us. We had just gotten in from a whole five hours of church, the service was okay if you ask me. They do the same thing every Christmas. So when we got back to the house, we all rushed to open our gifts knowing that Mrs. Graham and Mr. Graham loves to spoil us. But this was going to be her way of letting everyone know that she's pregnant without actually saying it. I tried to be calm so I can back her up if anything, but I damn near couldn't even breathe on my own ! Her boyfriend was here as well because he was also going to give out the invitations to their baby shower. That's what actually made me ready to throw up all over the place. Mrs. Graham and Mr. Graham aren't abusive, but I know Malaysia isn't getting off just that easy. And neither is her boyfriend with Brandon sitting right next to him. Kamira sat in my lap as she stuffed a piece of her marshmallow lollipop into her mouth. "Are you proposing to us Lay Lay?" Brandon joked making everyone in the room. "No. But just open it at the count of three." She said before moving away from them and sat next to me. "Okay." She sighed. "One." She counted slowly. I stared at nothing in particular as I avoided eye contact with everyone. "Two." Malaysia said and I sighed. "Three." She said and everyone began to snatch open the gifts. I even opened mine, she didn't want them to think I forced her to keep it. So I had to act new all to this as well. "What?!" Everyone yelled angrily. Malaysia nodded her head as tears flowed down her face and she lifted up her hockey jersey showing off her very huge stomach. "Wow." Was all I could mutter out. I looked over at Brandon and he just laughed uncontrollably. "Told you so." Was all he said before snatching Kamira up and walked out of the living room. "Have a seat Malaysia." Mrs. Graham said. Gloria and Gina still had their faces scrunched up while mugging Malaysia. "That's why you're so close with Kaylee all of sudden?! She made you keep that right?!" Gina yelled. Ignoring her, I rolled my eyes and continued to sit pretty. I was no longer nervous for Malaysia, the secret was already out. And the only two that opened their mouths were Brandon and Mrs. Graham. So I guess everything was going to go easier than I thought it would. "Get out." Mr. Graham spat. Seems like I spoke too soon. That even caught Mrs. Graham off guard because once he said that, her head snapped in his direction. "W- w- what?" Malaysia voice began to crack. "You heard me. Pack your stuff and get out of my house. I'm tired of raising you sneaky kids. All your mother and I ever ask for you to do is go to school and make the best of it, but no. That's not what y'all want to do. No, y'all want to have children and have abusive boyfriends. What the hell Malaysia?! We even adopted Kaylee just so you won't feel left out being that Gloria and Gina were too old for you. Yet you turn around and treat her like she's below you. We even thought about sending you three off to boarding school for the way y'all acted towards Kaylee, but yet y'all promised to change. What was the change? Where was the change Malaysia? You're so ungrateful I can no longer take your shit. So I want you out of my house before the sun goes down. Now y'all better not touch my damn gifts either!" Mr. Graham coldly spat while mugging a crying Malaysia. I felt for her, but he was right. They literally had the world in their hands if they wanted and yet look how they acted each and every day. "Its going to be okay Malaysia. Let me go talk to your father. You just have a seat. You hear me?" Mrs. Graham sighed as she stood up. All Malaysia do was nod her head and lean on her boyfriend's shoulder. I stood up as well and sat on the other side of her. "Its going to be okay Malaysia. As long as you plan to finish school and go to college, you'll be fine." I said while rubbing her back. "Of course you would say that! You knew you had to ruin one of the Graham's lives and since you couldn't get to Gina or myself, you had to go to the dumbest one. Wow Kaylee you should be ashamed of yourself." Gloria shook her head. "No you should be ashamed of yourself. You really failed as a older sister, she didn't even choose to go to either of you judgmental bitches. She had to come to a complete stranger that was once a orphan, how does that make you two idiots feel? And which one of you bitches got their asses beat?" I smirked before flipping my hair. Malaysia looked over at me and winked. "Where's Zaine?" Brandon asked walking into the living room. "He should be in the kitchen." I shrugged. He already knew what was going on today, so he tried his best to stay out of the living room as the drama slowly began to unfold. "Yo Zaine?!" Brandon asked as he walked away. I sat back and unlocked my phone before Mrs. Graham and Mr. Graham began to yell at the top of their lungs towards each other. "She's eighteen! Eighteen Nicki! Not twenty five, but eighteen!!" Mr. Graham yelled. I sighed softly and shook my head. By the time New Years come, I hope everyone is able to enjoy the first holiday of the new year because we didn't enjoy none this year. "It was the same thing with Brandon. So what's the difference? He's a boy?!" Mrs. Graham yelled back. "No! Her spoiled ass isn't going to even be no way near Brandon's accomplishments by the time she's twenty two! You see Brandon is even about to get his own house as a single dad!! Malaysia probably can't even cook herself a damn burger!! How the hell is she going to be someone's mother?!" Mr. Graham yelled. I frowned and quickly hopped up. Brandon was going where ? And why didn't any of us know about this. "Brandy where you going?" I raised my eye brow up at him as I entered the kitchen. He looked my way and dropped his head.

"Yes but he's leaving Legacy!" I cried on the phone. After waking up from my nap that I took after crying myself to sleep. I actually woke up crying and Legacy was already calling my phone so I answered hoping he could help me out. Brandon told me that he's moving all the way to Arizona with Kamira and him, only. And he doesn't even plan on coming back, like how am I going to live without my brother ? We talk almost every single day and if I'm not studying or going out; we stay on the phone for hours. I know it sounds crazy being that I'm already away, but its much more comforting knowing that Brandon would always be home if anything. So him moving to Arizona, really had me crying on the phone like a girl who's best friend is moving away.
"Kay that's a grown man, he can't stay with his parents all his life. He has plans for him and his child." Legacy explained to me for the hundredth time. But I was just being stubborn and wishing all of this was a joke or a prank. I swear I wouldn't be mad. I'll laugh it off being that I actually cried a face full of tears.
"What's wrong with moving to Co-op city? Or Soho? If that's what he's going at?" I sniffle.
"Remember how we asked each other where do we see ourselves in ten years?" Legacy spoke calmly.
"Yes." I sniffle.
"This is probably his way to start off his years. Neither of said we'll be in New York nor Miami in our dreams, he probably doesn't either." Legacy explained to me.
"But I need him Legacy! Before Roman and Kaiden even came around, Brandon was there. That was my best friend, I was the first person he told about Kamira and he was the first one to find about my crush. We always told each other everything. Like even with you, he even knows that you love to twist your hair and that's because I told him..... I really just don't want my brother to leave." I wiped my tears and tossed the covers off of me.
"Kay just calm down baby, he'll always be around. What's wrong with calling him? Or even taking your breaks out there? Don't be selfish Love. Let big bro grow up." Legacy said and I started smiling as I cut on my light. I was being selfish, but I couldn't help it.
"You're right. Can I call you back?" I asked making sure it didn't seem as if I was crying.
"Sure but call me back if anything." Legacy said.
"Okay and thanks again." I smiled before hanging up. Sliding my feet into my Puma Fenty slides, I unlocked my room door and went to walk out, but got blocked off by my gifts. But I didn't have time for those just yet, so I stepped over the boxes and walked down the hall to Brandon's room. Knocking softly, Brandon told me to open it. So I walked in and Kamira was sleeping across the bed while Brandon played 2K16 and Zaine scrolled through his phone. "What's up?" Brandon asked with his eyes still focused on the TV. "I'm ready to talk." I mumbled while taking a seat on his bed. He paused the game and looked over at me. "You know out of all of my sisters, you're the only one that took the news the worst? Gloria just wished me luck. Gina bougie ass just turned her nose up as she do and Malaysia tried planning my house warming. And I knew that you already knew about Malaysia pregnancy." He stared at me. I gave a apologetic look. "I'm not mad though, you're so easy to talk to so I understand your loyalty. But I'm warning you, your ass gets pregnant I'll kick you and Legacy's asses until that baby is born. Do you hear me?" Brandon asked and I nodded my head. "I don't want kids until I could afford a Versace car seat for my child. So until then.... I won't be having no kids or doing anything to have kids. But Brandon why Arizona?" I asked frowning a little, but he was too busy laughing with Zaine about my choice of a car seat. But it was the truth, my kid is only going to get the best. "Its a fresh start and I would've chose a urban spot, but nah. My child isn't going to be turning up on me. Not happening. Sorry Kay that I'm moving so far, you know if I could you'll be right there with me." Brandon softly sighed. I smiled and wiped my now spilling tears. "Its okay because once I come over once I might not leave. So that's fine with me. But last question before I go open these gifts, why wasn't I the first person to find out about your big move?" I asked him. Brandon laughed with Zaine again. "I knew you would've did exactly what you did today and you do know mommy wants another fruit punch bowl right?" Brandon snickered. I started laughing. He was right though, it probably would've been ten times worst. "Yeah I'll get that tomorrow. So you leaving with a bang? What's the plans for New Years?" I smiled crossing my legs on the bed. I was planning to turn up with my favorite boys and get drunk. "We're trying to do some shit." Zaine smirked making Brandon smile. "Don't leave this princess hanging." I smiled making them laugh at me.

......
"Oh my god really?!" I yelled happily. I had just finished opening my last gift that Mrs. Graham and Mr. Graham had got me. And seeing that it was the cutest pair of almost nude double zip low top Giuseppe sneakers. I couldn't take it any more, I was screaming my head off. I was ready to change my outfit enjoying every pair of foot wear that I've gotten today. I already had gotten a pair of black Givenchy slides, a gold pair Chanel slides; that was from Mrs. Graham saying that when my feet hurt in the club to pull those out so I could still slay. Her exact words, I wish I could make that up. I also got another pair of heels which were Gianna Rossi Milano that were navy blue, two 'Baby Girl' crop sweaters that had matching dad caps and a almost nude Ysl clutch. While Brandon got me a three hundred dollar gift card from Victoria Secret and Kamira got me a Barbie doll, that she sworn looked like me. I loved every gift. But after this I have to go over to Roman's house to give my second family their gifts. "You still yelling?" Malaysia giggled as she walked into the living room dressed in a fitted white sweatshirt and a pair of ripped jeans with her Uggs. Her hair was in a neat bun and you could see glow all over her face. I don't know how everything worked out for her, but I'm glad she's actually happy. "Do you see what your parents brought me?" I asked making her laugh at me some more. "You're going to make me pee on myself and here, I know you said not to get you anything but you deserve it. God mommy to be." She winked at me. I smiled and took the black bag out of her hand. "Thank you and I'm going to beat you for spending your money on me." I said and looked into the bag. I started screaming again, she had gotten me some Godvia chocolate covered strawberries. "Awwwe you love me!" I squealed quickly snatching one up. "Would you like one?" I asked before taking a bite. Malaysia just laughed and shook her head. "Roland bought me all of the chocolate I wanted." She giggled. "Thank you Malaysia, but now what can I get you?" I frowned. She shook her head 'no'. "You are my gift silly! You were here for me and that's all it matters." She smiled. I blinked twice to hide my tears. "I dislike your pregnant self you got me ready to cry and I'm not even the one pregnant." I groaned making Malaysia laugh harder. "You lucky I want to be around you or I would've ran being that you're going to make me pee on myself!" Malaysia laughed uncontrollably. I giggled and playfully blew a kiss at her. "You're the worst. But you look cute, where are you going?" Malaysia smiled while rubbing her belly. I smiled and looked over my outfit. Dressed in my red silk bombers jacket and red sweater that covered my white leotard, my white jeans and my van like Adidas that Legacy bought me, I looked back up at her and smiled harder. "Thank you and Ro on his way to get me." I shrugged with a smile. My hair was styled like yesterday since Jessica freshly did my hair two days before. My face was clear of make up, but I did wear my Jesus piece chain and diamond earrings. "Ohhh even though he doesn't like me." She smiled and I smiled back. "I can change that. We're cool now." I shrugged. "But for how long? She's only using you for her baby. Think about it." Gloria shrugged with a smirk. "She's clearly lying. I been planned on stop bothering you but was scared being that I was going to be bullied by them as well. But now I no longer care and you're my sister, always has been." Malaysia explained looking so unbothered. I know I taught her how to look in such way. "Did she just shut you up?" I smiled and we started laughing. "Little ass girls." Gloria rolled her eyes and plopped down on the couch. "Ma?! Gloria plopping on your couch!!" Malaysia yelled. I laughed while gathering up all of my gifts. Didn't need a hating ho to ruin any of these. "Get out of my living room Gloria!! Acting so damn childish!!" Mrs. Graham as I laughed some more. After dropping my things off in my room and locking my door, Roman called saying he was downstairs. "Read a book to my baby and I'll see you later." I waved at Malaysia before walking out of the house and over to Roman's car. "Merry Christmas!!" I cheered and hugged him tightly. "Merry Christmas even though it was yesterday. What did you do all day?" Roman smiled breaking our hug. "Went to church, helped Malaysia tell everyone that she's pregnant and cried. How about you?" I shrugged with a smile. But Roman was frowning. "Why were you crying Kay? I'm ready to just kidnap you from that house and you can't go back there." He sighed making me laugh at him. "I wasn't crying because of that.... Brandon is moving all the way to Arizona." I said as my eyes watered. And that's exactly why I didn't want to wear any make up today. "For real? Why? Your parents kicking him out?" Roman frowned as he drove out of parking. "No. Its just what he wants to do and I was frustrated because I couldn't convince him to stay." I pouted while putting on my seat belt then began to play with my fingers. "You're going to be okay Kay, Brandon can't stay away from his little big sister forever." Roman said and I started smiling. He always remind me how I always used to act like if I was older Brandon and try to control him. Brandon used to find it funny as hell as he ignored me unless it dealt with girls. "Shut up. But thanks Ro." I smiled.
......
"Oh Ro you didn't have to." I smiled while staring at the Nars box of make up. It had everything inside of this box from brushes to different colors of eye shadows and lip stick and gloss. I'm pretty sure Shante had to help him with this gift because Ro is horrible with buying gifts. "Says the one who got me two big face watches and a pair of sneakers." He smiled. Roman was acting like me when I handed him the gifts and put them both on immediately. And we both wore our 'best friends til the end' necklace that he bought me. "I'm not even going to cry so it's whatever." I forced a laugh so I won't actually cry. Of course we bought each other more gifts like my pretty girl olive green Adidas but it was mainly clothes. Grandma Pam loved her knew kitchen set and Ms. Angela loved her white pair of Red Bottoms. While they both bought me a set of Chanel perfume. "I knew you would love it. Where's Kaiden? I got him something too." I said placing my gifts in one bag. "On his way and what'd you get him?" Roman smirked looking over at me. "Some sneakers that he's been wanting." I shrugged nonchalantly. Roman laughed and shook his head. "You're going to need to bring another girl around in order for him to not bother you all night." He chuckled. I smiled and started laughing. "No ones paying that boy any mind." I giggled. "You say that now until you ready to quit Legacy for Kai." Roman joked making me laugh even more. "I wouldn't do that Legacy nor Kaiden". Roman looked my way and smiled. "What actually made you give Legacy a chance? You just wanted to snatch his head off?" Roman asked me. "I just like his vibe and you telling me no like you're my dad." I giggled with a shrug. That'll teach him to stop acting like somebody's damn dictator. "Oh shit for real?" Roman laughed. And I nodded my head with a smile. "He really likes you though. When we talk that's all he talks about and even when I said to leave you alone, he still managed to bring you around." Roman explained to me. I giggled trying to hide that I was blushing. What a front Legacy put up, he deserves a Grammy and a Oscar. "Awwwe I want to call him now." I cooed. "Call who? Daddy's here baby!" Kaiden joked making me laugh at him uncontrollably. He's most definitely going to bother me all night over those damn shoes. "Before I give you this Kaiden you have to promise not to bother me." I giggled holding the box in my hand. "What?! I got a gift?! I thought I was only coming to drop some off?!" Kaiden gasped making us laugh at him. "So promise." I pulled back the box. "I promise sexy mama." He snickered. "Merry Christmas Kai." I smiled hand I g him the box. He sat down and quickly tore the wrapping paper off and opened the box. "No way Kaylee!" He yelled making me giggle. "Don't start Kaiden, I'm not even playing." I warned him. "Nah a kiss is something you need." He said while staring at his sneakers. "Told you." Roman nudged me. I shook my head and laid on Roman's side. "No Kaiden." I laughed some more. "Fine here's your gift." Kaiden smiled handing me a small jewelry box. "Thank you." I cooed and opened it up. Seeing a diamond necklace that spelled put 'Kaylee' I loved it. "Awwwe thank you! Ro can you put this on for me?" I smile handing him the chain. "You got two chains on girl." Kaiden laughed. "You have go level up what Fab said." I winked at him and turned around so Roman could put the necklace on me. Minus Brandon moving away this was one of the best Christmas I ever had in a very long time.

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.

Planet-Eater Reincarnation (in Star Wars)
He wakes up without being able to see, taste or hear. Or even smell! But, after developing an eye for himself, he's able to recognize two facts: one, he is no longer human, and two, he's not on Earth anymore. He's in the middle of an asteroid field, stuck on a moderately large one with nothing around him but endless space. Heck, he's not even in the solar system! And now it's up to him to grow larger and stronger in order to avoid being eaten. Going by the leviathan-sized creatures swimming about the asteroid field, he has a long way to go before he can so much as try to live calmly. ---- Don't let the fanfiction tag scare you off. This only barely takes place in that universe since I like the basics of the lore and nothing more. It will barely feature a single prominent character, and the focus will mostly just be on the main character trying to grow himself out of danger, in the meantime denying the very idea that he could possibly be lonely. The first few dozen chapters will entirely focus on him growing from almost a gnat all the way to a real asteroid-eater. After that, an actual story will appear. Got the idea when I was reading the 2017 Darth Vader comic and my mind suddenly flashed back to that scene in the original trilogy when they're in some asteroid field and almost get eaten by a big monster. I loved that scene, and my inhibitions will no longer chain me. Enjoy, but don't take this too seriously.

The Pokemon Ranger
Summoned from his unjust suffering in the mundane world, Spike finds himself before Arceus, who opts to send him to the world of Pokemon with the request to assist in maintaining the world's harmony. Afterwards, Arceus sends him off with the egg of a Riolu who will be his partner along the journey. Next thing he knows, he wakes up with a headache in the body of a five-year-old boy in the middle of a forest in Hoenn. Thus begins the journey of a Pokemon Ranger who will come to be feared by those hiding in the dark of the Pokemon world.____________________________________________________________Author Note:Please keep in mind that this is an AU (Alternate Universe). I will be taking aspects of the Pokemon world that I find to be the most fun and enjoyable and editing some things as I see fit. The world will contain some elements and characters from the anime, manga, and games, but it will also have some original characters and a mostly original storyline. It will not go fully grimdark like some gritty parts of the manga or some more realistic fanfictions, but also won’t be all sunshine and roses like the games. Overall, I do want to keep the story on the lighthearted side, but there will be some more serious plots as well. About 90% taking the story seriously and 10% wish fulfillment, I suppose. Note: I am also posting this fanfiction on Webnovel. No difference on release times for chapters.Also, as an update because of the people who messaged me about the multiple transmigrators, the existence of other transmigrators won't have much, if any, affect on the main plotline (or the harem if that's what those people are worried about). There will only be a handful of interactions with a few of the transmigrators during some of the more dangerous scenarios I have planned. I don't expect this to change anybody's mind, but thought it was worth mentioning. Also, I edited the first chapter to make this more obvious.Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or speak for GameFreak, Nintendo, or Pokemon. I'm just a fan having some fun in his free time.
