《Timeless》36
Advertisement
Our semi-move to Arizona was complete. Eventually, we'll go back to California. Sara is starting fifth grade and Mason is going into first. Time is flying by so fast and I really want it to stop. Josh is going to be one in a month and then I go out on tour from October to December. Sara's not happy I am leaving but she's warmed up to the idea. Especially because Stevie promised she wouldn't be working.
As we finish unpacking Stevie breathes out and plops on our bed.
"What's the matter, Angel?" I ask sitting down next to her.
"I just don't feel good. I think my allergies are acting up it was awfully dusty in here, or I'm developing another ovarian cyst. The last one was right before I got pregnant with Joshua." Stevie answers.
"Let's just get some sleep. Tomorrow we go to LA and get to see our babies." I kiss her head.
"And you'll meet us back here in November for Thanksgiving?" Stevie smiles laying down.
At around three in the morning, the phone rang and I get up to answer.
"Hello." I groan.
'Daddy I had a bad dream." It's Sara
"What about?" I question.
"School. I'm scared something is going to happen at recess. Fifth graders don't get recess and if something happens I won't be there to protect him." Sara mumbles.
"Oh, sweet girl. How about this, when I drop you guys off on the first day I tell Mason's teacher that if anything happens they get you from class." I tell her.
"Okay. Daddy, will you sing for me?" Sara questions.
"Of course." I smile
I sing her Sara and then head to bed where I see my wife thrashing around. I crawl into bed and my hand hit's something wet. I turn the light on and my hand is tinted a slight crimson color along with our tan sheets, as well as Stevie's grey nightgown.

"Steph!" I yell.
She stirs and sits up almost immediately yelping in pain.
"Stevie, did you get your period?" I ask.
"I don't' think so. My periods never have a pool of blood or this much pain. Lindsey, you need to take me to the hospital." She says.
***
When we get to the ER they take her back and I am forced to wait in the waiting room. Everything going through my head terrifies me. I'm starting to understand how Stevie felt in Philadelphia four years ago.
"Mr. Buckingham." A doctor says walking into the waiting room.
"That's me," I say shooting up.
"Your wife had a major miscarriage. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was early stages, only about four weeks. We had to perform a D and C. You can go see her." The doctor says patting my shoulder.
I bite my lip and follow him to the room. When we walk in my wife is just staring at the ceiling.
"Steph," I say going over to the bed.
"Lindsey." She looks over to me.
"Hey, Angel," I answer looking at the doctor. He nods and walks out.
I crawl in bed with her and she wraps her arms around me and she starts sobbing.
"I didn't even know I was pregnant." She cries.
"You were only four weeks baby." I answer
"But still," She sobs.
All I do, is squeeze her tighter and rock her back and forth tears in my eye threatening to fall. As I rub her back she sniffles and abruptly pulls away from me.
"Lindsey, we aren't telling anybody about this. Ever." Stevie says sternly furiously wiping her eyes.
"Okay. We don't have to mention it again." I nod.

Death is a real son of a bitch. Boyd Knight found his calling when he joined the Marines and qualified for the elite Force Recon.

But instead of winding up dead, he wakes up butt naked in a cave full of monsters with a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other. He’s been hand chosen by the Five-Faced God of Justice and entrusted with the power of the Vigil Bound. Every kill makes him stronger and thanks to the Ascendant System, Boyd can level up, unlock increasingly powerful spells, and even harness the abilities of the monsters he’s been dispatched to hunt. If he can survive the deadly shapeshifter stalking him from the shadows, Boyd’s second life promises to be even more ass-kickingly epic than his first.

The Spark
Michael Locke was a normal student, who went through his normal day in a normal fashion, until the day became... unnatural. Shot into the country of Aldemar and thrust into a new world alongside his many classmates, he agrees to work for the king in exchange for shelter and to learn magic. Fate however, is indifferent to his wishes, as he quickly realizes that he may be a hero, but his purpose in this world is quite opposite. Suddenly surrounded on every side, Michael must work to survive, and if anyone finds his secret... He's as good as dead. The Spark is meant to be a murder mystery style isekai, focused on the existence of basically an anti-hero, with every one of the large amount of heroes attempting to discover who the traitor is. This isn't made to be a lovey dovey easy going isekai with an OP mc, it's made to stir around an emotional story, with many dark tones. Still, the goal is to stay fairly light hearted as well, and the perspective will pass around to several characters throughout the story.
