《He's My BadBoy》Chapter twenty five

"What?" Sarah shrieks "when did you find out"
"Earlier today" I sigh "I mean I guessed before I took the test - not liking my usual favourite foods, naseau, it goes on and on"
"Tell me about it" she gives me a small smile "it's Ryders right?" She asks and I nod "have you told him?"
"Nope" I shake my head
"Have you told Mike?" I ask and she shakes her head
"How are you not freaking out?" She asks "I mean I'm married to my baby daddy and I'm freaking out"
"It hasn't sank in yet" I tell her honestly "and I really don't want it to because when it does I'm probably going to lose my mind"
"First of all, you need to tell him before you do"
"Sarah what am I going to do, I'm not in a stable relationship like you are. My mom will kill me when she finds out both her kids have babies" I panic
"Tal, it's fine, we're in this together and I know Ryder is a usually unreliable bad boy but when it comes to you and family he won't let you down"
I nod "I'll tell him this weekend" I laugh at the irony "how are we both pregnant at the same time, like trust us to do that"
Sarah laughs "I guess we both enjoyed the honey moon suits at the wedding"
I gasp smiling "Actually now that I think of it, it's totally your fault"
"What! How?"
"Well one your the one that gave me you 'brilliant advice' and two if you didn't have a wedding I wouldn't have been there in the first place"
"And then you wouldn't have met me so it makes it all worth it" she winks
We talk and I serve a few more customers before it's time to close the bar.

I didn't get up until twelve the next morning. I had a quick shower and done my morning routine. I decided on wearing a loose enough strap top tucked into a black leather skirt with some red and white vans and I tied my hair up into a long ponytail but decided against any make up.
I walked into the kitchen and seen a note stuck on the fridge from mom saying that she was already gone to work and she'd see me later. I took some eggs out of the fridge but suddenly felt sick so I dropped them on the counter and ran to the bathroom
"Amazing Talia, Forget your pregnant until you get sick" I mutter to myself after brushing my teeth "like what sort of idiot are you, you're 18 and pregnant with Ryder Smiths baby"
The reminder of the baby growing inside me also reminded me that I have to text Ryder and try to arrange to meet up with him today since I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and it's only fair he has the chance to come
I decide against the eggs and go for a simple bagel instead before going over to Emily's house
"Hey, you're favourite babysitter has arrived" I grin, a fake one nonetheless, the last thing I need is for Emily to find I'm pregnant and get the whole 'why didn't you learn from my mistakes' speech - but it doesn't mean I'm not panicking and ready to cry any second
Over exaggeration? I think not
"Hey T" Emily grins "so Alex is picking me up at 2 and we should be back by 6"
I nod "that's alright, I might bring Oli out for awhile"
She nods and looks out the window "Alright Alex is here, I'll see you later and have fun"

"You too"
I picked Oli up from his play pin "hey little man" I tap his nose and make him laugh "guess you're stuck with me for the day"
I put Oli down for his nap half an hour later so I decided to FaceTime Ryder because his location was at his place
"Yo" he says answering the FaceTime looking like he just woke up
"You look like you just got out of bed" I laugh
"The girls just gone" he winks
"From your dreams maybe"
He laughs "whatever"
"You free today?" I ask and Ryder nods so I continue "can you meet me at 4"
"Yeah where?"
"Gracies" I gulp. Gracies is a cafe not far from here so me and Oli could walk
"Everything alright?" He asks obviously sensing my awkwardness
I nod with a smile smile "mhm"
"Alright see ya then"
"Bye" I say before hanging up
I didn't do much before we had to go meet Ryder. Once Oli got up I fed him and then he played with his toys but I couldn't help the feeling of nervousness that was running through me - Is this going to be my life? Am I actually going to have a baby?
No shit Sherlock, you're pregnant.
I put Oli into his pram and lock the front door on my way out. When we get to the cafe Ryder is sitting at one of the tables outside with two mugs on front of him
"Hey" I say as I sit down on front of him
"Hey" he says and the looks at Oli who is smiling up at him from his pram "hey little man"
"I got you a drink" he says directing his attention to the mug on front of me "coffee with a shot of tequila" he winks
"Thanks but you can have it" I say pushing it towards him
He gives me a confused look "Talia Ramsay not taking a chance for a drink?"
"I'm babysitting" I make up the excuse
"It's one shot you're not a light weight"
"It doesn't matter"
"No there's obviously more too i-"
"Ryder I'm pregnant" I snap without thinking and regret it straight away
His face drops "what?"
"Don't make me say it again"
"You're joking" he laughs probably hoping I'm joking "you don't look pregnant"
I shake my head "I'm not showing yet"
"But you're pregnant"
"Like five weeks pregnant"
He nods like he's finally accepted that I'm telling the truth "When did you find out?" He asks his voice quieter than usual. He avoided eye contact instead he just looked at his coffee
"Yesterday" I say in an almost whisper
He sighs "what are we gonna do?"
"I don't know" I softly say "but I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning at 11 if you want to come"
He nods "Of course. I'll pick you up at 10:30 and drive"
"Thank you" I say and he gives me a confused look "for not running off like most people would have done"
He shakes his head "Neither of us planned this, we're both as hopeless as each other. I can't just blame you when I'm just as much to blame"
"On the other side, my mom is going to murder us"

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!

Saga of the Space Marines
HARVEST! BUILD! DESTROY! Total war until annihilation. This is the story of the end of the human race. If it sounds like fun it’s because it is. The Saga relates the events and personal histories of the men of the 3rd Marine Space Expeditionary Force and their bitter MAXWAR (mutually assured eXtinction war) against the alien Krag Subjugation. Told from the view point of the warfighters on the front lines, the blue collar workers who build and maintain the infrastructure that supports them, and the scientists and engineers who develop the technologies that power their victories on the battlefield. This mission, The Maggot Colony, relates the first part of the adventure, where their capital ship, The Good Shepherd, is critically damaged, and a small force is sent to establish an outpost on the surface of a nearby planet to secure much needed emergency supplies and fuel. The situation is desperate, the fighting is brutal and the technical challenges both in space and on the planet surface seem insurmountable. Fans who enjoy the intellectual challenges and intricate storylines from real-time-strategy games such as Starcraft II or the pure destructive awesomeness of first person shooters such as Doom, Halo and Gears of War are encouraged to check out the Space Marines. It’s not for everyone, but it might be just what you are looking for. Best of luck in choosing your next read, and if you don’t pick the Saga of the Space Marines today please consider us next time because reading great stories is time well spent.
