《Reaper's Girl》Chapter 20: Waking up & Cottage Cheese
Advertisement
It's been 2 weeks...
2 weeks since I saw her smile...
2 weeks since I heard her laugh...
2 long weeks of no Aniya. She's the love of my life...Yes, I do love her. With all my heart. It was hard telling Kai his mom is hurt and that she may never wake up. Little Kai didn't understand, he just wanted his mama. "When will she wake up?" Kai asks in tears sitting in my lap. "I'm not sure Kai," I say my voice wavering. I haven't slept in days and it's starting to get to me. I couldn't believe it when her doctor confirmed her pregnancy. We were lucky enough to have gotten her in time but the doctor believes our baby will be born deaf due to Aniya contracting Herpes from that bastard James. I don't care if our child is born with a disability I'm just happy she/he is ok. "Mama," Kai says out of nowhere causing me to look up. There she is Aniya, my love, my life with her eyes barely open and a small smile on her face, "K-kai?" she asks slowly lifting her hand to caress our son's cheek.
"Y-your ok," my voice cracked at the end. I let a sigh of relief out to know that my beautiful girl is ok. "D-drake?" she says, her smile getting wider. "Y-yes it's me," I say getting up and giving her 3 soft kisses. "I'm so sorry," I say tears running down my cheeks. "I-It wasn't your f-fault," she says trying to soothe me as I cry into her chest. I feel like such a pussy right now crying but I guess I needed to let out my frustration somehow. "I should have been there, he should have never gotten you," I say angrily as I put my hands on her cheeks. "I don't blame you for what happened, James is just a bad man," she says giving me a peck on the cheek.

"Did you know?" I ask sheepishly referring to the pregnancy. "Know what?" Aniya asks confused. "That your pregnant," I say putting a hand on her stomach. "W-what?" Aniya asks confused and shocked as she looks at her stomach. "I-I didn't know... is the baby ok d-did we lose it?" she frantically asks making her heart monitor spike. "Mommy?" Kai says as I try calming Aniya down but before I could get her heart rate down a nurse busts the door open. "What happened?" the nurse asks checking Aniya's monitors. "I was just telling her about the pregnancy," I say sheepishly looking down. "Ok, I understand how that might have been stress full but throughout her pregnancy, she shouldn't be exposed to any stress full situations," The nurse says sternly before leaving. "I-I'm sorry for freaking out," Aniya says with tears in her eyes.
"Hey it's ok you had a right to freak out," I say soothingly giving her small kisses on her hand. I continue to fill her in on what happened over the past few weeks as Kai plays with her hair. I tell her about the risks for our soon-to-be baby and how Alana also found out she's pregnant while we were away. Also how Prez, Ace, and their old ladies decided to start trying for kids. "There are gonna be a lot of babies crawling around by the next year," Aniya says giggling. Yes, there will...
Aniya's POV (2 days later)
It's been 2 days since I was told I was pregnant. I got discharged yesterday and ever since we got back home it's been crazy. I can't believe that Alana and I's babies are only gonna be a few weeks apart in age. Emma and Dalia are finally gonna get their dreams to have families of their own. "Hey babe how are you feeling?" Drake asks as he enters our bedroom with some pancakes. "I'm feeling better but I still feel a bit nauseous," I say giving him a small smile.

"That's good, I brought you the pancakes you asked for," He says sitting on the bed and setting down the plate in front of me. I was about to smile when I saw he forgot something. "Babe I asked for cottage cheese on top of the pancakes," I say starting to tear up. "W-What? I thought you were joking about that," he says in disbelief. "No, I wanted cottage cheese on my pancakes," I say letting my tears drop. "Hey, hey, no crying you know what I'll go get your cottage cheese," he says running out of the room.
After seeing Aniya crying over cottage cheese Drake knew this pregnancy was gonna be harder than he thought. "Do we have any cottage cheese???" Drake asks looking through the fridge and every cabinet ber can think of. Everyone looked at him as if he was crazy some laughed, while some just felt bad for the guy seeing his girl yell at him over cottage cheese. "Sorry brother but no one has ever asked for cottage cheese before," Rusty says chuckling at Drake. "Fuck," Drake cusses out slapping his forehead. "What does fwuck mean Daddy?" Little Kai asks from the door hearing his daddy say a new word. "That is a no-no word you should never say that word ever again," Drake says quickly picking the boy up and handing him to Emma.
No one had ever seen Drake run faster to his bike than today. Drake drove to the closest grocer store and bought cottage cheese. He raced home as fast as possible where Aniya lay waiting for her boyfriend to return with her cottage cheese for her pancakes. Drake ran 2 lights and made it back to the compound in less than 10 minutes with cottage cheese. "Thank you, baby," Aniya says as Drake handed her the container of Cottage cheese.
Drake watched in disgust as Aniya happily ate her pancakes with cottage cheese on top. "Your the best, when I was pregnant with Kai this is all I craved," she says scooping another piece into her mouth. "Your welcome my love I just want you to be comfortable and happy," Drake says giving her a kiss on her forehead not wanting the taste of cottage cheese and pancakes in his mouth...

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author.
