**A/N- trigger warning for threatened miscarriage. you may choose to skip over the next few chapters if this is something you are sensitive to. :(
We arrived to the hospital and Jess got a nurse to bring a wheelchair out for me. Jae-Ho didn't stay long. He wasn't as recognizable as the members were but if the wrong person saw him, it was the same scandal. A lot people knew whose bodyguard he was.
I was hooked up to an IV and given medicine to stop the pain. We waited for the doctor to come in and it seemed as though time stood still. After a while, the cramping and the pain that accompanied it lessened and eventually stopped. I was finally wheeled up for an ultrasound on the labor and delivery floor.
I laid on my back with Jess holding my hand. I didn't want to look at the screen to see what was happening to my poor baby. The tech placed the wand on my belly and began to move it around. Out of nowhere, I heard what could only be described as the most beautiful music that could ever be created. The tiny thump thump of my baby's heartbeat filled the room and tears pooled in my eyes. Jess squeezed my hand and I continued to sob in relief, in joy, in panic.
"Yes, it looks like you are about 6.5 weeks," The tech said, "let me buzz the doctor. Given the delicate nature of your situation, he wanted to come take a look himself."
After a few minutes, the doctor came into the room to take a look at the baby and all of my vitals.
"Dia, you started to have what we call a threatened miscarriage," The doctor explained, "It seems to have stopped for now and the heartbeat is nice and strong. But you are not out of the woods yet." He flipped through my chart, reading the notes placed there, "Based on your bloodwork, it appears that it was brought on by dehydration. It doesn't take much for a pregnant woman to become dehydrated. You probably didn't even realize you were. You need to drink lots of water and make sure you take prenatal vitamins. Is the father in the picture?"

I looked to Jess before looking down in my lap and shaking my head. I fought back the tears that threatened once again. I didn't even know if he wanted to be in the picture. Regardless, I couldn't tell anyone that he was.
"Well, you need to take care of yourself. I'm restricting you to bedrest for the time being and I want to see you at my office in one week. We will take another look and see if things are moving along. I don't want to get your hopes up. Even with doing all the right things, the chances of preventing this are small. I want you to be prepared for what we might see at the next appointment. If you have any other questions, please let my nurse know. And take it very easy. Let your friend help you as much as possible."
He handed me his card with an appointment time and his address on it before leaving the room and clearing me to go home.
Jae-Ho returned to pick us up and the entire ride home from the hospital was filled with worry and uncertainty. I stared at the ultrasound picture in my hand, wondering what Jimin was thinking at the moment. He had to be so angry with me for not telling him. I was scared. No, I was terrified. But he still had every right to know from the very beginning.
As we pulled up the long palm lined driveway, I saw a figure sitting on the front steps, leaned over. His head popped up as the car headlights shined in his direction and Jae-Ho pulled the car around, stopping with my door in front of the steps. I didn't move from my seat as Jimin and I made eye contact. His eyes were bloodshot and his cheeks were puffy and red. It was obvious that he had been distraught in my absence.

He stood up and rushed over to my door, pulling it open before stopping himself from dragging me out of the car. Instead, he gently eased me out of the seat, the same care and tenderness in his features that I had seen so many times before. He drew his arms around me and leaned his face into my neck as he broke down in sobs.
"I'm sorry, Dia."
I wanted to say something. I wanted to reassure him. But I remembered the doctor's words and stopped myself. I didn't want to give either of us false hope.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Jimin." It was all I could say at the moment. He tightened his arms around my waist.
"Guys, I really hate to interrupt but can you continue this upstairs?" Jess spoke up, "The doctor wants her on bedrest for the next week until he can check on the baby again."
Jimin lifted his head from my shoulder, a mixture of surprise and relief flooded his face. He pulled back from me, keeping his hands on my arms and looked down at my stomach. "check on the baby again?" he whispered.
"I'm not out of the woods yet" I whispered back.
"No you're not." Jess reminded me, "And you really need to get off your feet." She gently pulled me from Jimin's embrace and guided me towards the house.
I laid in bed, in a complete daze as Jimin and Jess made a fuss around me getting pillows and water and every other possible need taken care of. I continued to stare at the picture in my hand, trying to make sense of the past several hours. My eyes grew heavy and I fought to stay awake. There was so much I needed to talk to Jimin about. When it finally got to be difficult, I succumbed to the sleep my body was so desperately craving. Our conversation would have to wait. And I could only hope that he would understand.

Recruit - An Infinite Labyrinth prequel
A prequel to The Infinite Labyrinth. The year is 1816. The British Empire is in full swing, under the auspices of King George III. The Infinite Labyrinth has been pouring out its product from beyond our reality and fostered a new industrial revolution. Times are changing, and the people of London are feeling the winds of the revolution while British Professionals push into the Labyrinth. The newly formed Artefact Hunting Company is looking for recruits, and they have new technology to help them. From the slums of London, they aim to recruit a new wave of Professionals. And make Zacharias and the Earl of Carnavon lots of money. So, for Rowan Rivers and a handful of lucky ones, it's time to head into the Labyrinth, and discover what makes it different from England. And what makes THEM different? Recruit is a bunch of chapters I wrote to create to the setting, mood, and game systems of the Infinite Labyrinth. It is NOT a complete story in the classic sense. It's more of a slice of life view of early days of a normal Professional from the Infinite Labyrinth, and it's heavy on info-dump. It's 90% canon - there's probably a bit of a difference between how some characters and common behaviour are portrayed here and how they'll come out in the main story. Set two years before the events that kick-start the main series, it features some of the secondary/peripheral characters of the Infinite Labyrinth and will tell you all about the basic mechanics of the Labyrinth's RPG system. It can be considered a spoiler, as the characters in the Infinite Labyrinth are going to need to figure out all that, on their own. But if you like a much deeper exposition in the mechanics, here it is. The entire prequel is about 80 pages long.

Mhaieiyu - Arco 1: El Sindicato [Spanish]

Únete al torpe pero intrépido Tokken, un adolescente extrañamente ingenuo que por fín está viendo el mundo por lo que es, así como al alborotado e imprudente Emris, un travieso militar alcohólico que se juega la vida con impunidad, mientras intentan coexistir con la tormenta infernal que se cierne sobre ellos. © 2019-2020, Todos los derechos reservados.

Grim Beginnings
For most, ghosts and monsters were fantasy. For Tessa Byrne-Reyes, they were a constant in her daily life as a reaper. The legendary gods and creatures of mythology were, to her, historical figures. From a young age, she carried the weight of the world on her shoulders, possessing what she saw as a curse but what her family considered a gift. It was her birthright, to use her abilities to guide the deceased to the afterlife of an eternity in peace or in torment. Her classmates viewed her as "the fainting girl" who would pass out in the middle of a lesson with inexplicable injuries. She experienced each death in the town of Belmont Falls, from the mundane to the gruesome. A gunshot wound in the gut, broken ribs, her heart ceasing to beat for several minutes. No one understood what caused these incidents but over the years, she gained a reputation for being abnormal. While Tessa is the freak of Belmont Falls, Fin Belmont, the charming rebel and son of the richest man in town, is her polar opposite. Knowing each other for years but never saying more than a dozen words between them, one night changes everything, thrusting them into each other's unfamiliar and daunting worlds. Together, with the help of her best friend/his ex-girlfriend Elena, they begin to unravel secrets about their town and their pasts, learning that some secrets are better left buried and grudges can be held for centuries.
