《Triumph Book 1》Chapter Twelve
Advertisement
I woke up feeling a little funny today I have no idea what it could be. The day proceeded fastly, that feeling in my stomach stayed all day. "Afternoon Cindy" I greet the director of the center, "Good Afternoon, Angel" she says looking up from the computer.
When I get to Willows classroom she sees me as soon as I open it and runs to hug me.
"Hey, Mrs. Della", "how was little willa?" I ask. She smiles "perfect as always Angel" she looks at me funny. The most awful feeling came over me and I puke all over the floor. "Angel?!" Della says running over to me, in that moment I stood in complete horror as warm liquid soakes the front of my pants and runs down my leg.
When the shock passed I felt the pain
"He is sleeping with someone" says Eve my wolf, her cries echoing through my head. The pain continued to get worse, "Angel, you have gone in to labor!" Della goes to the door calling for Cindy, "call 911 she's gone in to labor, I need a janitor in here too" she calls out in to the hall.
I called Jane as soon as they called 911 "Hey Jane, well I've gone in to labor" I tell her, she gasps "your only 26 weeks!" she says worriedly. "I know, but could you please pick up Willow when you pick Lucy up?" I say panicking inside "of course, don't worry about it. She can stay the night with me you just get to the hospital safely".
When I finally got to the hospital, things went really fast. They took me in the room to see if the babies where in distressed and to check if I was dilated. "Miss your little ones will be very premature, there is a chance that they won't survive" a nurse tells me I couldn't help but cry.

The hospital room was big and had plenty of space for family and doctors to be in the room. Sadly I had no one beside me, I need my mother here I wish she was alive to help me through this. "Your not completely alone" says Eve "I know I just wish my family was here" I say to her sadly.
In the four hours I sat there, I went through just about everything that could happen to them I worried about all of it.
The nurse comes in to check on me "how are you feeling?" She asks "I'm in so much pain" I say through gritted teeth as another contraction flows through my body. She lifts the blanket and checks to see how dilated I am "well it looks like your ready to push I'll get the doctors" she pauses "I do have to prepare you since they are so premature they will be rushed to the NICU as soon as they come in to the world" she says taking her gloves off and going to let the doctors know it's time.
I wouldn't even get to hold them when they are born, the thought killed me I wanted them to stay inside till they where fully developed.
Doctors filled the room they surrounded me, it made my already panicked feeling so much worse. " alrighty hun it's time to push" the doctor says preparing the bed for birth.
"Push!" The doctor says I scream in pain as I push as hard as I can feeling as the baby's head rips me open.
I pushed even more trying to get through the pain. "Here comes baby one" the doctor says I gather as much strength as I had in me and pushed a few more times. The moment I heard the short little cry of my baby my whole world changed, I looked down through tears and sweat to see my baby, "Its a girl" the doctor says beaming. They quickly handed her off to the other doctors and they but her on a baby bed and wheeled her out of the room fastly.

I wanted to scream come back with my baby, but I knew it was for her own good. Pain hit me again and I screamed, the pain was awful. "You still have one more hun" says the doctor getting things ready for baby number 2.
Baby number 2 came faster than the first one, by the time the second baby finally came out I was exhausted. I started to see spots and the last thing I heard before I passed out was "It's a girl".

Humanity has spread throughout the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way. All is not well – worlds are strictly controlled and governed by the Alliance of Planets. However, for the first time a planet, Caxis, has succeeded in the unthinkable—seceding from the Alliance, sparking unrest and a wave of insurgent activity. In response, the Alliance makes public the existence of a new superweapon known as the Gravity Bomb. Marcus Fenig, a courier that travels the Perseus Arm for a living, is cut off from his wife and baby after the Alliance surrounds Caxis with a blockade. He will do anything to get back to his family. Garrick Karn – a loyal Alliance officer who looks up to Allison – is searching for traitors using increasingly desperate tactics in the belief that any price is worth paying to keep the Alliance safe.

8 162Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
