Without the Beauty of Us
A gypsy boy trying simply trying to survive in a harsh world. But his mother's unknown sickness grows worse with each day and so he must do what he has to in order to earn enough money to find her help This was my main WIP up until a few months ago. I used to spend a lot of time on it but I eventually just lost faith in its potential and moved onto the WIP I'm working on now, which, in my opinion, is a lot better. I know the title doesn't make any sense but if I had actually bothered to finish the book it would have, sorry if this annoys you. As always, comments, criticisms, advice, it's all welcome. Enjoy.Complete

I don't plan on naming him either. I'm not keeping him, therefore there's no use in naming him. "How about Gabriel?" Lucas. "Eww no. Gabriel is a nasty name. What about Teagan?" Lily. "Nah. How about Elijah?" Landon. "How about Jaxson?" Charlie. But just because I'm not naming him, doesn't stop Charlie and the triplets from trying. They've all been fighting over names ever since I found out I'm having a boy. Nobody will listen when I say I'm not giving him a name. "No, he needs a name." Lily. "Just because you don't want to keep him, doesn't mean he's not getting a name." Lucas. "Come on, Kay. Just give the child a name already." Charlie. "His new parents can't give him a better name then I can." Landon, of course. "Oh my lord. For the last time, we're not naming this child Frank, Landon!" Lily yells at him. "Hey, I changed my mind and said Elijah!" He yells back. All I do is just sit against the wall, and watch as they argue all day everyday. "Kailey, what do you think?!" They all yell at me. "I think that I'm not naming him any of those things, because I'm not giving him a name," I say for the millionth time, rolling my eyes. "Come on. This poor child need a name!" Charlie says. "Exactly. And I think Corbin is the perfect name," Landon says, looking satisfied. "Whatever. You four can go ahead and keep arguing over names, but I'm not agreeing with any of them. His new parents can name him," I say as I lean my head back against the wall.Complete
