OH MY GOD. I know. It has taken me almost three months to have this out and I'm so very sorry. I'm working on the next chapter right now, so I'm hoping it won't be longer than a month, two at the most. That and l_vera01 would kill me if Ryan doesn't give birth sometime this year next year. *nods* Totally.

At least the chapter is a bit long. That's gotta mean something. *g*

Thanks to l_vera01 for pushing until this chapter was finally done. You're amazing, babe.
And betad by storydivagirl, who accepts that she actually likes this mpreg and wants me to write the slash in it. Well, hmm, soon?

Now, off to keep on writing. Let me know what you think of the chapter.

Taken me close to forever, yes, I know. I don't need you all to remind me. It's just that Ryan doesn't like being pregnant and instead of being smart and letting me write, which would mean he gets to give birth sooner rather than later, he fights me every step of the way. *shakes head*

Either way, it's finally done.

Now, I'm off. I have classes, yes, that's nothing new. But actually, I have this idea that's getting too tempted to be true. Because babe, you want yet another scene done, don't ya? Yes, I know you do. *nods*

O.M.G. I can't believe the last time I updated this story it was in freaking NOVEMBER!!! *shakes head* Four and something months. Okay, yes, my fault, but November doesn't count coz I was way too busy writing Sullen. So, it's more like three months. *g* That, I can take.

No more delay, here it is. *g*

Now, I'm off to keep on trying to write. I promise this time it won't take this freaking long. I'm aiming for late April. *nods*

Oh, and Sullen will be updated very soon. *giggles*

I know it has taken me sometime to get this out, but here it is. Finally.

This chapter was supposed to be longer, and something else was supposed to happen, but given the circumstances (my midterms, NaNo), I've decided to divide that chapter, and... well, chapter fourteen is already lay out before me. *nods*

Okay, so, here it is.

Leaving now.

Okay, so that's it. I read it once, then once more. All the mistakes are mine because the story is still unbetad. Waiting for the first few chapters to be send back and then, well, I'll upload the improve version of the story. *g*

So, after this long wait (over a month), here it is.

Me leaving now. It's almost midnight and I have class tomorrow, you know? Really. Class. *sighs* Writing is so much cooler.

I know I promised I would get the chapter sometime last week or this weekend, but I wanted to get things in order. I've got tons of plans and I wanted to have the list complete before anything. *nods*

So, yeah.

Now, with the story.

Now all I have to do is wait for people's reaction. *waits*

Oh, right, classes. *sighs* I'll better have dinner and then head to bed. Go to sleep at a decent hour, for once. *g* Hope you all liked the story. *nods*

I caught up with quite a lot last night. I still have to finish Hands on skin for CLFF. I promise myself that I will deliver that story. No matter what. On other, a slightly more important business...

Took me quite a while, yeah, but I have this out. *bounces* I do promise to have the next chapter in between ten to fifteen days. Yes, this time I will hold my promise. *rolls eyes*

I'm leaving now. Want to see if I can write a little bit more of chapter eleven. *winks*

I'm being hit with plot bunnies. l_vera01, I know you're probably going to roll your eyes and all that, but I think I've got another idea in mind. *nods* That totally sucks, coz I already have like ten ideas going on. Hmm... What to do? It's just that the idea is so freaking stuck in my head. *sighs* Will have to write, probably, but not today. *g*

Now, on regards of the story... Really, I was getting tired of going over the chapter and wondering if something was missing. *shrugs* I think it works, and though I still have tons of ideas in my mind regarding this story, this chapter is already done. Yep. *dances around* I'm so very proud of myself. It only took me one month. *sighs* Next chapter will be out in less than that, I swear. *nods*

Right now, I have studying to do. It's already 2.38pm, I didn't have classes today and I haven't even touched my books. *shakes head* Awful. Now, off to study. *nods* Really. Really. *frowns* I'll try.

To be ironic to the fact that last week was a good week, academically speaking, it wasn't in regards to my personal life. I might want to talk about it in a couple of days, when I've regrouped. Right now... I'm fine. Slightly sad, but fine.

Anyways... it's been two weeks since I last updated The way things are and, truth be told, I'm having so much with that story that I figured I could post another chapter. *jumps up and down*

So? Let me know. *bounces* I think I just might go off to bed right now. It's ten to midnight and I did stayed up late last night studying. *glares are pklinso* I did! I swear I did. *pouts* I'm off.

Bored out of my mind. Well, but then again, that isn't anything new, is it? Again, I've got Dynamics and Materials Resistance this week, and Concrete I lab to present. *shrugs* Yep, nothing unusual on that one. Anyways... I was supposed to post this on Friday, but I got home around one, and then yesterday my dad was copying a HD, so, yeah, I couldn't.

Well, I'm off. I have a couple of ideas I want to see if I can finish off by tonight. Have an early morning tomorrow but... oh, well, who cares? Me off.

Since I was feeling bad, and I wanted comments on my work, I figured the only way to get that was to write something. So I did just that.

You liked it? Really, really liked it? Great! Let me know. *nods* I'm nice. *chuckles* I think all that Coke I drank today has affected me. *laughs* Yep. Sugar rush.

I'm off now, then. Got things to do, and this lab report from hell to finish. Also, I think I'm in love with Fiona Apple, that girl just rocks! You might have noticed my infatuation with her, with all the songs I've got in Current Music. *g* Lovely. You should totally check her work out.

Okay. Really. Now. Me off. I swear.

I was planning on posting on Sunday afternoon, but one thing led to the other and I found myself stuck with work. *sighs* Yep. Didn't even get to finish it. I only got about half done, and I had to wake up at the crack of dawn today to finish it.

I'm so dying for Easter break. It's only four days, but at least is something. Besides, I've got so much studying to catch up with.

I don't have much to do tomorrow, so I'll try and write a little bit more and see what the Easter Bunny brings us. *winks* However, I do have a muderous day on Wednesday. From eight to eight, classes all day straight, barely thirty minutes to have a pathetic lunch. Still, I can't study twelve hours straight without having a small writing break. Have to focus on the last line challenge, because it's due by the end of the month. Have to focus, have to focus. Must stoop re-reading Harry Potter and thinking of Ryan watching Seth. Must focus on Lex staring at Clark as the boy does his chores. Yep. That's it.

*laughs madly*

Well, at least something came up from me being all day long at school. I finished Chapter three of my mpreg. I'm just having so much fun. This time the chapter is a little bit longer. The whole chapter, as I had it picture in my mind, hasn't ended, but I figured I could split it, and now I'm in the middle of chapter four. *g*

Well, I'm happy to have been able to post this. I'm writing quite rapidly, to tell you all the truth.

Now, on different news, I'll be updating The OC Slash Archive in a little while, so hop on and take a look. I haven't posted the mpreg story on the yahoogroup yet, but I will later this week, as well as on mpreg.

Off now. Got things to write, and book to pretend to be studying. *grins*

Anyways, I'm done studying now. I had my test about... five hours ago, and my brain still feels like mush. *knocks on her head* Yep. Still mush. It's all empty now. I'm afraid of leaning to the side, my brain might start falling through my ears. *covers her ears* Can't lose anymore braincells, I killed about ten thousand today when I ran into a re-run of Stephen King's Rose Red. *shudders* And to think I bought the books. *looks at it sideways* I'm afraid of the book alone.

Now, to make up for the lack of brain activity, I'm sending a present to my lovely l_vera01 who, very sweetly of her, has been pestering me for the past couple of days to post this. So, yes honey, here it is. Read, drool, and enjoy.

For those of you who don't understand my ramblings -- *stares at all the blinking eyes* so many? -- I'm talking about the OC mpreg I've been writing in between breaks and lapses when I just can't study anymore.

The way things are

( Chapter two )

Short, I know, but that's all I've got so far. I'm half into chapter three and, for the looks of it, it's going to be somewhat long. *shrugs*

I've got classes tomorrow morning, and then a concert in the afternoon. *shrugs* Should be back on the land of the living sometime around Sunday. Will post something else then.

Last couple of days have been rather awful. I'm much more busy than I remember ever being and still, I'm part of a CLex fest. *sighs*

I've got tons of things to do. I haven't even started reading the four chapters of "One land" by Dubus and this other guy. It's a psychology book I have to get done in two weeks. Also, I'm stuck in my "Origen and fabrication of construction materials". I'm totally stuck. There are a couple I haven't found yet, and I've come to the conclusion that concrete and I don't get along so well. *shrugs* I'd have to use cement now, won't I?

Still, I keep on writing for one hundred challenges, like hp100. I wrote One of many. Harry/Draco (the only thing I can write in that fandom), even though it's rather sutble. *shrugs*

Oh, also, I finished chapter one of my still untitled story. *shrugs* Can't find a title. Sucks, I know.

EDIT: Have to have headers. I'm updating all the chapters and making them all pretty. *g*
