Alright, so I guess I lost my writing groove after that last chapter. And here I was confident I was getting better. However, there are a couple of things halting my progress recently, and I promise I meant to post about it sooner. So, here goes.

1. My husband and I are expecting baby number 1 next month! We've known since July, and because of my anxiety, I was unsure of how to get the word out. Still am, actually. However, while this is exciting news, my husband and I are hardly able to take care of ourselves at the moment, so for the past couple months, we've been looking into adoption. We found a really nice couple that we really connected with just through the letter we received, and we'll be meeting with them for the first time soon!

For those of you wondering why we decided to keep when we weren't financially ready? Well, I personally don't like the idea of abortion, and wanted to give my child a chance at life. I was hoping our financial situation would get better, but unfortunately, this isn't the case. So, I want to do what's going to be best for my baby girl and give her a life that isn't miserable. We've chosen to go with an open adoption as well because we want to see her grow, and we want her to know that we love her and still want her in our lives.

Though lately we've both become incredibly emotionally attached, and we'd like to try and keep her if at all possible. We're not sure where we'd get the money for the hospital bill other than a GoFundMe (which likely won't raise enough money in time), but we're trying our best. And it's not that we don't like the couple we picked out, because they seem absolutely wonderful, it's more that this isn't what we envisioned having our first child would be like. We'd always hoped that we'd get to raise our kids ourselves.

2. I'm sure most of you are aware of the situation regarding Vic Mignogna, and I'll let you know why this is part of why my progress has come to a stop in the past week. If some of you aren't aware, Vic is the voice of Qrow, or rather, was the voice of Qrow. I believe it was this past Monday that RoosterTeeth made the decision to fire him over some sexual assault allegations that were posted on Twitter. They said it wouldn't ruin the creative content of RWBY, which likely means they'll just find a new VA. But if they do decide to kill off Qrow, I'm honestly going to be done watching the show, which means I won't have a reason to keep this fanfic going. I honest to god don't think they'd kill off Qrow though, so this fanfic is safe for the time being.

Also, I'm sure some of you are wondering what my stance is on the whole situation surrounding these allegations. I'll gladly say that I stand with Vic, and if I lose readers over that, then so be it. I won't go into details here why my stance is the way it is, but I will answer any PMs if you have any questions. But keep it civil or you'll get blocked and reported because I'm honestly not here to fight with anyone.

Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to get a new chapter out soon? We'll see how things go, but it may be some time, so don't get your hopes up. Until next time!
