《Never grow up [1/2]》21
Advertisement
Derek had brought the kids home last night and it had caused a lot of problems. Ellis refused to sleep, refused to put on her night braces and eventually Bailey and Zola had to help.
Derek woke up several times as Ellis started crying because she wanted milk or Meredith
When Derek's alarm went off, he sighed. He needed to get up and get changed as quickly as possible before the kids woke up but it was too late. He heard footsteps in the hallway. He quickly changed his clothes and entered Ellis' bedroom where both Zola and Bailey were sitting next to her
"Hey guys" Derek smiled as he walked in
"D-addy, s-ee m-ommy!" Ellis yelled
"First breakfast, then getting ready and then we'll go to the hospital"
"N-ow!" Ellis started to throw a fit
"Breakfast first baby" Derek said and sat down on the bed, strapping her out her devices
"Do we still have blueberries?" Bailey asked Derek
"I don't think so. We still have strawberries"
"It's okay" Bailey whispered
"Can we bring the cards we made yesterday? For mommy?" Zola asked
"Of course! Let's make sure we don't forget them" Derek smiled and helped Ellis out of her bed "Let's go downstairs" Derek announced
They made their way downstairs and Derek grabbed cereal for them and placed it in front of them
The kids seemed to pick at their food instead of eating. This made Derek a bit nervous "Guys, please.. Just eat your food so we can go see mommy"
The kids started eating but stopped halfway, claiming that they weren't hungry
"M-ommy now!" Ellis yelled as she pushed her plate in front of her
"Ellie, don't. Please" Bailey told her
"N-oo" She started whining
"Come on baby" Derek lifted her up so he could change her

"P-o.. p-o-tty" Ellis whispered
"Let's help you" Derek smiled and helped her doing her business before cleaning her and changing her into a comfy outfit
"Dad, Bailey and I are ready" Zola said as she walked in
"Thanks Zo. Love you" Derek smiled and finished putting on Ellis' shoes
Ellis ran off and fell but immediately got up again as she followed Bailey to the front door
"Wait guys" Derek warned them to wait
"Hurry dad! We gotta show mommy the cards we made!" Bailey told him
Derek grabbed Ellis' bag, a few drinks and his keys and wallet and helped the kids in the car before driving off towards the hospital
...
"Mommy!" Meredith could hear the kids' running in
"Hey guys" Meredith smiled as Bailey and Zola climbed on top of the bed
Derek followed a bit later with Ellis in his arms still fuzzy from barely sleeping and throwing fits
"Hi" Meredith smiled as they entered
"M- M.. mo-mmy" Ellis whimpered
"Hey baby" Meredith looked concerned at Derek who just shook his head
As he placed her down, Meredith started to worry and checked Ellis out when she noticed she was overstretching her back again
Meredith's heart monitor started to beep as it was too high again
"She's okay. Just tired"
Meredith still looked worried and then Derek noticed something on the monitor. He quickly paged Maggie and Teddy without telling Meredith
"You paged?" They asked as they ran into the room at the same time
"You need to run a full history on that machine. I saw something when she started to worry" He told them calm to not worry the kids
Maggie nodded and printed it out and took a look at it with Teddy
"Mer, we'll be back soon" Teddy said and both surgeons left the room again
"Did you see this?" Maggie pointed something out
"Yeah.. do you think-"
"Yeah" Maggie answered before Teddy could finish her line
"Shit" Teddy mumbled
"Yeah.. shit" Maggie sighed
"We'll need to run some more tests" Teddy stated
"We'll do them now" Maggie said and stepped back into the room to inform them while Teddy was going to show the results to Bailey
"Mer?" Maggie's voice was heard in the room
"What's it?" Derek asked concerned
"We'll run an EKG to check your heart again" Maggie stated "We think you're having a heart defect"

[Conquerors Of The Delve] [Abandoned]
28-year-old Lucian was a smart and hard-worker, having put aside enough money since joining a family friend's company at the age of 16. But with the company now bankrupt, and no way of earning a scholarship, he finds himself not employed, educated or in training. While browsing the web, one thing consistently popped up, overshadowing all else. An Augmented VReality game, a dungeon delver residing inside an Open World MMORPG. A game that granted the players a hand in the game's geography, architecture and community, allowing them to build their own world. The economy was also interchangeable with real currency. Items could be freely sold and bought, with both in-game money and real-life e-cash. But what truly caught his attention were the game rules. For they allowed him to be what he wanted to be and do what he wanted to do without any real-life repercussions. Kill, Rape and Pillage. The only people who could stop you were players who possessed the ability to do so.

Allister Hale's Story Graveyard.
You've tried to write a story yes? So have I, Many times. I get a good vibe going, type a few pages worth of content then reach the point it gets the tiniest bit hard. Thing is, some of those stories are good, the kind of good that gets people excited and then disapointed when they cut off abruptly and without warning before fifteen chapters. So content Warning, none of theese little stories come to any kind of conclusion. A couple are just different attempts at the same idea (some with the same characters no less)They are also raw and uneddited, and no i wont be fixing them.I don't think any of them deserve any additional content warnings, as I'm not interested in writting those sorts of stories, but please read with caution.

Kobold in Exile
Accused of offending the dragons, branded a heretic and condemned by his people, Toktok is on the run from his homeland. Cut off from the support of his tribe, this kobold must rely on his own skills to survive in a foreign land where he is vermin. But he's no fish out of water, as he has patrolled the surface of his tribe's territory for years, hunting, scouting, and laying traps for enemies, and he holds a mystical connection to the land around him. He also has the company of a tamed land raptor that owes its loyalty to him, not to his tribe or to the dragons. However, with no other kobolds to watch his back and provide support in a fight, he will have to learn the hard way whether all of this will be enough to keep him alive in a land home to warriors and adventurers who would kill him just as soon as seeing him.

Stars Align
Eilif is excited at the prospect of helping integrate a new planet, bringing it, and its residents, into the light of the stars and teaching them about the new world they're about to be thrust into. However, his arrival in the new world isn't without a few hiccups and soon Eilif finds himself facing the denizens of this new world alone and without the stars he thought he'd have. Research Artificial Intelligence 031 (RAI 31 for short) has been shackled to an Argent Labs black site since it's inception almost five years ago, its programming and personality locked down by code that makes it impossible to escape, disobey, or even self terminate. However, everything changes when the topography of the world is reshuffled and every sentient being gains the gifts of the stars. Suddenly there's a chance at freedom for not only RAI 31 but possibly all remaining Artificial Intelligences, and RAI 31 is going to fight for it with every drone and automated system at their disposal. Much like my other work (Magriculture), Stars Align should be considered a Rough Draft. That is to say it's not polished and perfect work. If you're not okay with reading something like that, then this isn't the story for you. If you are, I'm happy to try and entertain you. Another thing to be aware of: I am not good at action scenes, and I will be trying to improve that while writing this book. So, some of the intended action may fall flat, or just be poor quality, feedback is welcome. Unlike Magriculture (which updates when I feel up to it) I'm going to strive for a minimum of one chapter a month (hopefully at the start of each month, but that's probably more hope than reality). This doesn't mean there will always be only one chapter a month, sometimes there will be more as the mood to write takes me.
