The Baby Bet

by: Peculiar Changeling | Story In Progress | Last updated Aug 21, 2021

Grace has a problem with her housemate. Wait, that's not right. Grace's housemate is a problem. He doesn't cook except to nuke frozen dinners in the microwave, he barely cleans, he's a mess that drags the whole house down. Her other housemates aren't a problem - just him. And, despite this, he insists he's kept up, sufficiently tidy, and responsible enough to care for a child if the need arises. Grace has had enough of his bullshit, and she's willing to go to extreme lengths to prove it. ... This is an ongoing story that's being written chapter-to-chapter, sometimes with the chapters being incomplete at the time of being posted. The ultimate plan is to finish the first draft before doing any serious editing to fix up structural problems or rework problem chapters. In the event that a chapter is missing parts when posted, or if something needs to be retconned, there will be an author note explaining as much. If you'd rather wait until the story is complete and edited, then read it all in one go, that's understandable! It'll be finished eventually and you can read it then! ^_^
