The year is 2375 and the world has become over populated. With one trillion people now living on earth, and with the average life expectancy reaching as old as two-hundred-five, there was not much they could do. ‘They’, as in the government, banned all couples from having children. This law went into effect on March 23rd, 2361, and since then there has been no babies born; except one: Laelia Clavell. 
Laelia Clavell (Lay-luh) (Clu-vell), that’s me. I was born on May 26th, 2361. I was the last baby born in the entire world. There is a strict rule in the world, that once a teenage girl reaches the age of thirteen, they are forced to get a hysterectomy, making it impossible for them to have or carry any babies. There’s only one problem: I did not get the required surgery. Making it very possible for me to get pregnant and give birth to an illegal child. 
In fact, that is exactly what I am doing now. I am carrying the baby that will get torn out of me if anyone but my family hears about it. I am carrying the baby of Xavier Monty. I am carrying the baby that is against the law to have. And there is nothing I will do about it.

Clackers by Arundel2000
5 parts Complete
There is nothing as powerful in life as your first love. When this happens after clacking to a strange new world where people reverse age-let's say it's complicated. Demalynn is a seventeen-year-old girl from a small town who one day hears a loud 'clack' and is transported to the planet Saffire. Naked. Then things really get weird. No child has ever been born on Saffire; clackers make up the entire population. All people who clack under thirty reverse age: each year they grow younger. As an awkward teenager plagued by panic attacks who dabbles in comedy, Demalynn just wants to go home to be re-united with her family. Citizens over thirty grow old and are forced to mine the mineral that powers giant cooling stations to keep the planet habitable. Citizens solve disputes with gladiatorial combat. The prophesy of The Coming In Saffire's time of greatest need, a child will be born to a special woman, the Gravidarum. The child, who has no father of this planet, will be known as the Unum, a child to lead Saffire. The Helper will battle to keep the Gravidarum safe until the Unum is born. The people of Saffire have been waiting to see The Coming fulfilled. Demalynn assembles a group of clackers to get her home, the most important of which is a fellow clacker: eighteen-year-old Aiden. It is not long before Jago, the ruler of Saffire, learns that a woman on Saffire is pregnant and he unleashes all his power to prevent the birth. Jago will not give up power. Demalynn is surprised to find out she is the Helper, but is astounded to learn the identity of the Gravidarum. Demalynn must battle to stay alive and fumbles towards the realization that Aiden is much more than a close friend. She is certain, with the certainty that only a seventeen-year-old can possess, that Aiden is her only true love. Demalynn is desperate to find a way back home until she must make a choice: stay with Aiden on Saffire or go back home and re-unite her family. There's no place like home.
