《Infinity || Dan Smith》Seventy-Nine.
Advertisement
Since Dan's parents flew out to New York at the last minute, they've decided to take Charlie and Dan out for a fancy breakfast. It's just the five of them, Lacey included. Of course Dan and Charlie are in no place to say anything, considering about yesterday with the secret wedding.
"I must say one thing about the film..." Isla says with a smile while she pours herself a cup of tea. It's not the 'shitty' American lukewarm tea either, it's boiling hot as it should be.
"Oh, yeah what is that?" Dan asks while Charlie keeps her ears 'open' as she places the baby bottle in Lacey's mouth
"I was expecting Lily to get pregnant a lot sooner into the film. Especially those Iceland scenes." Both Dan and Charlie at the exact same moment lean forwards in laughter.
Dan's parents doesn't know that Iceland is the place where her son and daughter-in-law both admitted their undying love. "It was always planned that in the post-credit scene Lily would be in the hospital loo looking at the positive pregnancy test." Isla smiles nodding her head.
"Those massive bags made Charlie's pregnancy so obvious, I know I'm nitpicking but...the cgi on her bump was shit." Dan rolls his eyes back while his mum and dad continue to keep picking silly little things out...but he doesn't care that much. He thought the film was shit because he was in it, it's quite a common thought for actors.
"Hey!" Charlie on the other hand adored the film.
"Those scenes were so hard. My back was hurting and my feet ballooned up! Plus it was boiling hot..." Isla then shakes her head with a gentle smile on her face.
"I never said that I didn't love it...because I did. But Liam cheating on the red headed bird who got brought back to life...I didn't like that." Dan then shrugs. He doesn't think his character didn't do any wrong.

"Mum, it wasn't cheating. Lily was literally trying to kill him..." she still shrugs.
"But Lily loved him...the proof is their baby...right?" Charlie nods her head.
"That's not the healthiest relationship ever in my eyes. I mean...she was going to kill him."
"But they love each other. Lily couldn't go through with actually killing him, and he couldn't move on. They're not destined to be apart. Even in 'death'." Dan still shakes his head at Charlie's answer.
"Anyway, their story might be over...but Lacey's has just begun." Charlie says proudly while Dan shakes his head.
"Lace should totally be cast. I mean...she looks exactly like her in the comics, it's kinda scary." Dan shakes his head at Charlie's suggestion, however his parents don't say anything in particular. It's not their place to say whether their granddaughter gets to be in a film.
"Working with another baby will only make her jealous. And not to sound psychotic but we know how to make her smile or cry." Dan continues to give Charlie a scolding look but she completely ignores him.
"Anyway, it'll be good having some quality time before the new baby arrives." For a second or two everyone doesn't pay attention, but Charlie still continues to smile to herself.
But then at the exact same time Dan's parents, and his own blue eyes, look towards Charlie in confusion. "What do you mean...new baby?" Dan asks while Charlie smiles.
"The new baby that is due around Christmas time." Dan's jaw drops open while his parents supportively stand up.
"When...did you..." Dan is in shock while he stares at Charlie's flat stomach. The happy kind though.
"This morning...but let's not get into that." Charlie dooesn't suffer morning sickness. While she fees a little faint at times, she doesn't feel the urge to vomit...meaning she hasn't really got any pregnancy symptoms.

So because she's trying for a baby the only way that she know if she's pregnant...is to take frequent tests. While Dan and Lacey were asleep she went and got her routine pregnancy test...
Both of the results was positive.
"Babe..." Dan's voice cracks a little while they all stand up, apart from Charlie who's feeding Lacey still. Each person awkwardly hugs her and making sure they don't disturb Lacey's breakfast.
"It's so...soon." Isla says while she goes back to sipping on her tea.
"Not really. I mean...it is for other people...but not for me. When I was in hospital and I thought I was dying...I realised that Lace would be a only child. Being a only child sucks. She deserves to have a little brother or sister to tease...to play with." Charlie smiles at Lacey in her arms, but the moment is ruined when Lacey decides to go cross eyed for a moment whilst sucking on her bottle.
"Oh my god..." Charlie nervously laughs.
"Congratulations on the baby anyway...although you might not want to tell anybody else until you're a bit further along." Charlie nods her head while Dan picks up his toast and takes a bite.
"Yeah, I know. I'm just...on top of the world at the minute." Charlie and Dan's eyes meet before they both shyly smile.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:Hi guys! This novel is just a pet project of mine, to exercise my imagination and vocabulary. The regularity of uploads will depend on how well this catches on (but nonetheless, expect at least 1-2 ch/wk).I proofread my own work before uploading it, so there may be grammatical errors or misused vocabulary. Please let me know in the comments and I'll fix it. I found inspiration for this novel from various sources (Cyberpunk 2077, The Mech Touch, etc.) so in some places you may find some similarities. Please note that it is just an inspiration and I'm not trying to blatantly copy those works. While I do have a general plot line in mind, the various volumes (or arcs) will be quite fluid and susceptible to influence from reader suggestions. This is so that my creativity doesn't stagnate. I hope you guys like my work. If not, please leave reviews! I appreciate any and all constructive criticism, and opportunities to improve myself. Scribblehub: Scribblehub_AoCWebnovel: Webnovel_AoC

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
