《Never grow up [1/2]》12

Meredith woke up pretty late in the morning by small fingers touching her face
"Ellie, I told you to let mommy sleep" Derek whispered as he saw Meredith was starting to stir
"M-ommy w-ake" Ellis kissed Meredith's cheek
"Morning" Meredith groaned
"M-ommy!" Ellis giggled
"Good morning mom" Zola smiled as she squeezed her arms a bit tighter that were wrapped around her mother
"Morning! Can we have breakfast now?" Bailey asked
"Let's go get some breakfast and then we can eat it here in the big bed" Derek smiled
Ellis and Bailey followed Derek to help while Zola kept lying next to Meredith
"Did you sleep well ZoZo?"
"I slept great! But I woke up when Ellis was walking around. Then she asked me if I wanted to join in the big bed" Zola told her with a big smile
"What would you think if we would play in the garden later today?"
"Yeay! I need to show you my cartwheel!"
"I would love to see it baby" Meredith smiled
"Miranda called and daddy seemed upset. Is everything okay?" Zola asked
Meredith's eyes widened. Zola was way too smart even though she's only 10 years old
"I'm sure everything is fine" Meredith assured her
Zola nodded and laid her head on Meredith's chest, waiting till Derek, Bailey and Ellis would return
"Breakfast" Bailey yelled as he entered the room a couple of minutes later, carrying a pack of orange juice
"B-fas-t!" Ellis giggled a couple if seconds later, carrying a small bag filled with fruits
"I'm hungry" Meredith smiled
"Here we are" Derek said and walked in with a big plate of pancakes"
...
Derek, Meredith and the kids walked inside the living room and decided to play a little game
"Mommy, I'm winning!" Bailey yelled

"You're doing great bud!" Meredith encouraged him
They kept playing until the doorbell rang
"I'm going" Derek said as he stood up
Meredith kept playing with the kids until she heard Derek's voice. He was talking pretty loud so Meredith decided to take a look
"M-ommy, m-e c-ome!" Ellis said and reached out her hands
Meredith lifted the little girl and walked towards the front door
"Miranda.." Meredith said with no emotion
"Grey.. I wanted to apologize, I shouldn't have-" Bailey started
"This isn't the right time-" Derek said sternly
"Will I get suspended?" Meredith asked, interrupting Derek
"Grey, I already made my decision-"
"No. You don't get to do this!" Meredith started to get nervous
"Mer, stop. It's not worth it" Derek placed her arm around Meredith
Ellis felt the tension and started to get a bit fuzzy, wrapping her arms around Meredith as her wrists bended again
"Stop doing this" Meredith said as she teared up "Please" She cracked out and cuddled the little girl closer while whispering some things before she walked back into the living room
"Miranda, we really appreciate you. We named our son after you but please leave Meredith alone for a bit. She doesn't deserve this and you know it. She won a Harper Avery and you blame her for being a good mother? It's unbelievable and now leave please. I have to go take care of my two girls that are upset because of your visit" Derek said
Bailey nodded and turned around. Derek closed the door and quickly went back into the house, only to see Ellis laying down against a bunch of pillows and Meredith sitting around her, massaging her wrists and kissing her head while Zola and Bailey were talking to her
"Is she okay?" Derek asked as he bend down next to them

"Just overtensed" Meredith replied
"Let me take your blood pressure" Derek said
"Derek, I'm fine" Meredith sighed but Derek continued. He grabbed the tools and checked her out
"Mer, this is way too high again" Derek warned her
"It will lower again once I'm cuddling my babies" She whispered
"Maybe we can talk about our visit to the zoo" Derek told the kids "Maybe that will help mommy and Ellie"
"I really wanna go see the lions and the elephants!" Bailey started telling them
"And flamingo's!" Zola added
They kept chatting away and soon enough Ellis joined them with murmuring stuff. The little girl was absolutely exhausted but her family meant the world to her
"Affe.. G-affe" Ellis murmured.
"You wanna go see the giraffes? Me too" Derek told her "They are my favourites"
"What do you guys think about a short nap?" Meredith asked when she saw the little girl in her arms couldn't keep her eyes open any longer
"Big bed?" Ellis asked
"Sounds great" Meredith giggled and stood up, feeling a small wave of dizziness but she tried to ignore it. She carried the little girl to their bed and crawled under the sheets, followed by Zola, Bailey and Derek
Zola and Bailey weren't tired so Derek turned on one of their favourite movies while Meredith and Ellis started to snore
"Mommy and Ellis snore loud" Bailey laughed
"They do" Derek confirmed. He pulled the sheets a bit more over them, making sure they were warm
"When are we going to the zoo?" Bailey asked
"Next week? Mommy will be doing much better by then" Derek said
"Okay" Both kids smiled and agreed
...
"Hmm" Meredith groaned as the little girl on top of her was stirring
"H-i" Ellis smiled the second she saw Meredith opened her eyes
"Hey baby girl. How did you sleep?" Meredith asked
"M-e t-ired" Ellis whined
"You're still tired? You had a couple of rough days, don't worry. Wanna go to daddy and your siblings, see what's up?
Ellis nodded and Meredith stood up, lifted the girl in her arms and entered the living room where giggles were filling the air
"Mommy! Ellie!" Bailey yelled as he saw them entering the room
"Hey Bails" Meredith smiled
"Bay!" Ellis started wiggling in Meredith's grip so she lowered the little girl that immediately waddled to her siblings but she fell on her but halfway
"I got her" Bailey said and he handed her a hand, pulling her up and assisting her to where Zola was playing
"Don't we have 3 amazing kids" Derek smiled as he wrapped his arms around Meredith
"We do. I'm so proud" She smiled
"Come on, let's sit down for a bit" Derek said and the two of them walked to the couch, looking at their 3 kids playing and chatting away

Glitched! Uplift Arc
[Winner of the April 22 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] In 2202 the System reached Earth. Thankfully it had learnt from previous uplifts and implemented an introductory arc to acclimatise the new participants rather than chucking them in the deep end. The previous practice of just dumping unsuspecting beings into a System designed for the growth of the multiverse had led to catastrophic and sub-optimal results. The return on investment was abysmal. That old trope was so over-cooked - after nearly extinguishing itself through negative returns new policy was required. That was 356 trillion local years back. Now over 5600 successful uplifts had joined the ranks of the multiverse. But the System was always learning, always growing. Still there were glitches. Mostly minor. Mere irritants really. Sometimes even they were catalysts, triggering a fresh expansion. Soon the System would understand why. Our Earth was 7912th. - Ascend - Battle - Challenge - Dominate - Expand - Gro... - Glor... - Where’s the eff word? - Glitch... File corrupted. ---END SYN---

A retelling of Lewis Caroll's "Alice in Wonderland" with a twist. Alice is a powerful demon who has been trapped in a cursed place for years, waiting to be summoned. She wants nothing more than to return to Wonderland and find the person who has ruined her life. After Lucas—a half-beast man known as the "White Rabbit"—successfully summoned her, she made a contract with him and he became her master. As his familiar, she is bound to fulfill his wishes. But, in order to keep their deal, Lucas must grant her only wish before the time runs out. It's just a short story containing 5000 words.

Daybreak
In a world of swords, magic, and wonders, Vreil suddenly loses his family to a twist of fate. On his quest to survive, he follows a mysterious wizard, and becomes embroiled in a revolution he knows little of. He cultivates magic, learns to fight with a blade, and meets worthy companions. He grows stronger and more mature, gradually turning from prey into a hunter. And in his journey, Vreil clashes with pirates, immortal jokesters, wolves and, even worse, sheep. Can he use magic, blade and wit to fight them off? Or will he be the one to fall instead? Follow Vreil on his adventures. Witness the dawn of an era. 🧙🧙🧙 This is a story I'd written a few years back, and I figured it's a waste to just let it sit around. Most of it is already written, but I'm going through the chapters and editing the shit out of them. This story is NOT a Lit-RPG, so no blue screens or anything of the sort. It is just fast-paced fiction with slight cultivation elements. Updates are bi-daily (so every 2 days), and chapters are 1500-3000 words. As always, feedback is more than welcome. Why are you still reading the synopsis? You have already decided. Go ahead, give this story a shot. It's worth it.

GLADIUS // Eret X Reader
PHANTASM SERIES BOOK 4---Gladius, (noun): (in ancient Rome) a short sword.---Eret perked up as soon as you and Simon walked into the room, a wide and welcoming smile coming onto his face. He was softer looking than his father had been, but you could still see some of the similar traits. He had a head of thick dark curls, and the same sharp jaw that his father had had. He wasn't as bulky though - he was tall and thin - and his face was a lot more open. What separated him most from his father's likeness though was the colorful cape, and the large mirrored glasses he wore - swirling with colors reflected from the room. He stood from his seat when Maven let the doors swing shut behind her, that wide smile still on his face. "You must be the embassy.""And you must be King Eret." You said, stooping into a bow. "Oh, there's no need for that." Eret said as you rose from your bow. He stepped down from the dias where his throne sat - colorful cape trailing behind him - and came to stand in front of you, taking your hand instead. "I'm not really one for formalities." He grinned, shaking your hand. His palm was warm against yours, and you could feel some slight callouses - most likely from practicing his sword work.
