《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"

A King in the Clouds
Tanlar. A cruel, repulsive, and foul word. It meant untitled, officially, but it also meant ungifted, unable, unworthy, unnecessary, unhuman. It was more a curse than a term, a badge only the damned and condemned wore. To be a tanlar was to know your life, your entire being, was insignificant. Once Kaizer had resigned himself to such a fate, but those times had passed. He may have been untitled, but he was anything but untalented. He refused to scrape by at the bottom of society. Those who stood above him could sneer all they liked, but he wouldn’t suffer being stepped on for long. He’d be better, much better. But of course he would be. ‘Fate’ demanded it so. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] What To Expect: The story of a boy becoming a man becoming a king + everything that entails. Largely gamelit, but later arcs could be called litrpg. Also schemes. A lot of schemes. I do love some good ol' fantasy politics and intrigue. Minimum Word Count a Week: TBA after Writathon Release Time(s): Daily for as long as I can/until the end of the Writathon. I also write The Deathseeker [Returning Dec 5th]

Wasn't my new life in a magical world supposed to be easy?
Victor Norman died. And then he was reincarnated into another world by a powerful entity and given awesome skills. So far so good. He thought that fun days of adventure awaited him like any other protagonist that found themselves in a similar situation. He thought that he would be unrivalled and free. He thought that his new life in a magical world would be easy. So why is it that things are turning out this way? Hello, author here~. If you are willing to read this story, I'll warn that I am writing this story purely on a whim, with very little planning and purely for my enjoyment. I don't know how things will turn out but let's hope they will go well~. I will be giving my other story that will be rewritten and renamed later priority so there won't be consistent releases but I'll do my best not to drop it or put it on hiatus for too long. Beware that this story will (maybe) contain: gore (moderate amounts), profanity (moderate amounts), litRPG elements, (probably) logical plot holes. It won't contain (a lot of): politics, romance (mm, likely not much), harem. As for the warnings about gore, profanity, sexual content and traumatising content, I don't know what I will put in there so it's not necessarily true that they will be present. I do not own the picture. If you have the rights for it, please contact me and I'll take it down

Tale of Tales
* Tale of Tales is a High/Epic Fantasy saga based on the motifs of ancient myths, legends, and forgotten fairytales * Senka is no hero, but you never know what is coming for you. And if that burns down your house and family, while you are left blinded by your house’s guardian snake, the outlook becomes grim. So Senka clings to her dog’s back to survive, unaware of the fateful prophecy and the great changes to come. But when a wandering warrior becomes her protector and mysterious strangers join their hounded party through a series of seemingly chance encounters, they all begin to discover that all is not as it seems. What is pursuing her? And why? Can the strange characters gathering around her on her desperate quest save her from doom? Are they mere puppets of a young, beguiling witch guided by her own hidden motives, or are forgotten shadows rising again from the immeasurable depths of time? A tale of folk fairytales and myths, of swords and sorcery and mythical beings – a unique story of dark times and unsung heroes who may light your way. Book one, A Strange Bunch, features leading characters of various ages. This is a fantasy with their progression happening slowly throughout the series, with occasional spikes in character power after certain encounters that may or may not be random. Although the book series is written with adult and young adult audiences in mind, it is, in the tradition of such epics as “The Lord of the Rings,” suitable for all ages. Excerpt from the scene depicted on the cover of the first book: “Above this hellish pack and the rider at the forefront, flurried a ghastly sight – a cloud of dark, endlessly bustling bodies and wings, a swarm of creatures that, through their almost infinite number, produced that great din which had first reached the ears…” RELEASE SCHEDULE is about once a week. The entire series should take around two and a half years of weekly chapter episodes, so do encourage me by reacting and following. Ratings are greatly appreciated!

Percico
After the war with Gaea ended, Annabeth couldn't do it anymore. She couldn't just stay the same. She had to change...something. So she told Percy she just needed her space. Percy took this hard. He needed her. She was his Wisegirl. And just when he needed her the most, she left. The seven are trying to get Percy back on his feet, but there seems to be only one person who can really do that. Nico. So when Nico needs Percy to drive him to the dentist, will something happen? Read and see. A/N: I do not own Percy Jackson or any of the pics or art used in this book. I got the idea from a meme saying it'd b cool of someone wrote that as a fanfic. So, I figured I'd give it a go. It's just going to be a short little thing, but I think the story is still cute.
