"Hey!" Meredith heard Addison came in when she was trying to feed Bella.
"Hi" Meredith smiled
"How is my goddaughter doing?" Addison gave her a warm smile back
"She didn't want to eat earlier with Derek but for now.. okay" Meredith said as Bella slowly drunk bits of her bottle before starting to refuse again
"Hey, Bel. You need to drink" Addison said as she joined Meredith
"I want her home, Addi" Meredith sighed
"I know, Mer.. we'll do another CT this afternoon. Her neuro exams seem to be promising so far. She reacts on sounds and light, she moves her limbs, not as much as we want but she's doing it" Addison smiled
"I'm so proud of her" Meredith said proud
"She looks so much like you, Mer!"
"Derek says that too" Meredith giggled
"What do I say?" Derek asked as he and Mark came in
"That Bel looks like Mer" Addison repeated
"She does!" Mark confirmed
"Did anyone talk to mom or dad?" Meredith asked
"Yeah, they'll come by later today" Derek said before he kissed Meredith and gave Bella a kiss on her forehead
...
"Derek!" Carolyn said as she and Christopher walked into the hospital all the way up to the NICU where they met Derek
"Hi, mom, dad!" Derek exclaimed before pulling them into a hug
"Where's our granddaughter?" Christopher asked proud
"Mer is trying to feed her again.. is it okay to wait a bit?" Derek asked
"Of course, dear. How's the feeding going?" Carolyn asked as they slowly made their way over to the window to check on Bella and Meredith
"When Mer feeds her she usually eats a bit more but still the same.. she's not eating enough.. She just came back from CT and her team will discuss what's best for her" He said quiet

"She'll be okay, no matter what! Your mother and I read a lot about BPD the past week. Addison gave us some interesting books about it. We want to make sure we know what's happening with our little girl" Christopher said
"Thanks" Derek said with a small smile "She's so small" He whispered
"I'm so excited.. first time holding her" Carolyn said as she kept looking at Bella who started to refuse the bottle again
"Want to go in now?" Derek asked
Both his parents nodded happily. The three made their way into the NICU and went to the corner Bella was in.
"Well, Bel.. Meet your grandparents" Meredith said as she handed the baby to Carolyn
After a couple of minutes, Carolyn gave the baby to Christopher who immediately started talking to Bella
"Hey, Bella. Nice to meet you" He whispered "I'm so happy to finally meet you"
Derek smiled as he took a seat next to Meredith, holding her close as they were watching their family.
They all started talking and Derek took Bella back in his arms when she started wheezing. He placed her against his chest and carefully rubbed circles on her back as Meredith whispered to Bella "Hey baby girl.. shht, deep breaths, you're fine"
"Should I call a nurse?" Christopher said, slightly panicking
"Dad, she's okay" Meredith said "This is.. normal.. She'll be fine in a couple of minutes and if not we'll give her some more oxygen" Meredith said as she grabbed her dad's hand
"I'm sorry" He apologized
"We understand, dad" Derek said as he gave him a small smile before turning his attention back to Bella
"She's beautiful, guys" Carolyn smiled
"Her last neuro exams looked good, her CT scan earlier looked promising.. I hope we can bring her home at the end of the week but she'll need to pass the carseat exam first" Derek smiled as he kept looking at his daughter who calmed down again and almost fell asleep while he held her close

"Dr and Dr Shepherd. Do you wanna bath Bella?" A nurse asked as she walked in
"Yes, please" Derek said as he smiled
"We'll go see Addison and Mark while you take care of your daughter. Maybe we can meet for dinner?" Carolyn suggested
"Sounds great, mom! Thank you!" Meredith said as the four of them stood up to say goodbye. Meredith and Derek took off to bathe their daughter while Carolyn and Christopher left the room before turning one final time to see Meredith and Derek took off with Bella. Finally having the family they begged for
...
"Hey, Bel. You were so brave" Meredith coeed as she carefully dressed Bella
"Should we try and feed her again?" Derek asked
"That would be best!" Meredith said before Derek went to the nurses and asked them for a new bottle as Meredith finished up dressing Bella before making her way to the chair next to Bella's bed
"Derek?" Meredith whispered once Bella started drinking again
"What's wrong, Mer?" Derek asked
"I think I'll stay home for a while when she gets released.. Webber said it was okay and I could keep my spot as long as I come in once a week for a shift"
"Of course, Mer. We can take turns" He smiled
"And dad asked me to explain everything.. they want to help us too and Addi and Mark too and.. Derek, we'll be fine and Bel is doing such a great job" Meredith smiled widely
"She is and we'll always be fine, Mer. We're Meredith and Derek" He said before kissing her as Bella started whimpering
"I'm sorry Bel, mommy is all yours again" He laughed
"Meredith? Derek?" Arizona's voice was heard as she entered the room
"Bella's results look good. We think she might be able to go home at the end of the week or in the beginning or next week as long as she passes the carseat test and if her weight doesn't drop again and we'll discuss a plan for her meals. For now we don't want to give her a feeding tube because spreading the amount of food seems to work for now. We'll see how that works out once you're home because you can't wake up every two hours to feed her" Arizona said "But guys, this is good news. She'll be home soon"
"Finally" Meredith sighed as she smiled
"Finally" Derek echoed

The Crucible - (Terror Infinity Fanfic)
There has always been those that stood out from the crowd. Heroes of old, undefeated warriors and demigods battling beasts of myth. These stories are written off as fiction and folk stories of ignorant people long lost to time. Nothing to prove them true except old family stories but what if people just weren't looking in the right place. Old truths no longer apply to the modern age of science but that doesn't stop them. The system that protects and finds these great people still exists and asks the same question it always has. “Do you want more than this life? Want to live… a real life?” YES/NO Who hasn't read Terror Infinity and thought I wonder what upgrades I would choose. I love the Web Novel and Side B. I did change a lot but the basic premise is still the same. Feel free to leave thoughts and suggestions in the comments. This is my first attempt at writing and I haven't done much of it since I left University 13 years ago. This is also more of a hobby than trying to become an author but that doesn't mean I will drop it just don't expect fast releases. I will mainly work on an Arc and post the arc's chapters in groups when I finish a whole arc. Kinda like Side B used to be.

Dark Seas Leading Demise
Having awakened within a forest with little to no memories of her past and being left with the sole task of surviving…what will Kaltyr do?-----------------------------------If when you're reading this there are only 49 chapters, then for all intents and purposes it's completed. The first 49 chapters are just a prologue, giving a long (135,000+ words) introduction to the main character, the power system, and how she obtained her powers--all within the forest she awoke within. You will not learn why the novel has its name.There are only 5 characters, 1 of which is the MC and only another of which is recurring for a time.I do have plans for future books of the series, but they aren't getting written for a long time because this was just a side project to practice the basics of storytelling and whatnot. I will instead be working on my real projects.This is a slow story that doesn't pander to the audience, but I hope you enjoy it, nonetheless.

Living With Magic
Arthur, a young magician, is struggling with crippling social anxiety. The issue has reached a point where he likely won't graduate from University. Reaching a crossroads, he must decide whether to try and return to a family he despises or make his own path in the world. Is the magical power he has actually beneficial in the real world? Authors Note: I'm terrible at writing a synopsis, but over time I hope to write a better one. One of my favorite series of books is the Magicians by Lev Grossman and I hope to follow that same line of thinking within my story. How would a society built around magic actually exist and is power and magic actually as great as other stories make it out to be? The story and characters will be completely original and I will try to update the story on a regular basis. Also, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Occultus Draconem
In an ancient time of Kings and Queens, the Humans lived in harmony with the great beings that roamed the Earth. No kingdom was more peaceful than Cadmus, where the Cadmians existed beside the greatest creatures of all, the Dragons. The ruler of Cadmus, King Anguis, although very young, was much beloved. He never turned a deaf ear to the Humans or Dragons of Cadmus, and the kingdom flourished. Under the protection of the Dragons and their Empress, Queen Maeve, paired with Anguis' extraordinary ability to keep peace, the lands prospered and grew tenfold within a few short years. Cadmus and Draconia became the greatest kingdoms known to exist. But it was not meant to last. King Anguis, barely into adulthood, was murdered in the night. His death rocked Cadmus to its core, and the Cadmians mourned with the Draconians, grieving for their beloved King. As Prince Agni, Anguis' younger brother, assumed the throne, he declared war on the Dragons, announcing that the kingdom would be Cleansed. He enlisted a brutal army of elite hunter-assassins known as the Enforcers to carry out the Cleansing, and the kingdom was consumed by a shadow of tyranny. Cadmus became a war zone, and the land of Draconia was devastated. A group of survivors of the Cleansing, Dragons disguised in Human form, created a secret society known as the Occultus Draconem. As King Agni's power grew and the Enforcers became more brutal than ever, a rebellion stirred. The Occultus Draconem began stepping in to stop the Cleansings, fighting back for the freedom of the Dragons and swearing to bring peace back to Draconia and Cadmus. But how can they succeed without the heir to the Draconian throne?
