hydrocephalus memoir part2comingsoon partone shortstory spina spinabifida

About half-way through Melodie's pregnancy, Duke and Melodie received news that they never thought they would hear. 
"It appears that your daughter will be born with Spina Bifida." Melodie's doctor said at her 20-week ultrasound, where she also found out her baby was a girl. It was discovered that their daughter had this condition when they found a quarter-sized hole in her tail-bone.
At the sound of those words, Duke and Melodie didn't know what to think. They sat there in front of the doctor in silence.
"Also, it looks like your daughter has fluid on the brain." 
"What?" Duke and Melodie were beyond confused at this point. They were definitely not expecting this news.
"The term for this is hydrocephalus. She will need to have a shunt inserted into her head immediately after she is born. She will have two surgeries close to each other. Your baby will need to transfer by ambulance to Children's Hospital so that they can treat her condition. If she doesn't get the shunt, she won't be able to survive for very long. Once she is born, you will notice her head is slightly bigger than it should be."All Rights Reserved

Stamped On Me ~ Duke Dennis by DyiorBaby

She didn't do it for attention. Not really. It was supposed to be a wild, unforgettable night out with her girls-dancing, laughing, and maybe making a few questionable decisions. But when the tequila hit, the music was right, and her friends dared her to take it a step further... she did the one thing she swore she'd never do. She got Duke Dennis' name tattooed on her hip. Not just any tattoo-his full name, in smooth cursive, placed right above the curve of her waist. Permanent ink. Real commitment. The kind of move that had "What were you thinking?" written all over it. And to make it even crazier? She had her best friend film the whole thing. A short video. A flash of soft skin. The sound of Duke's iconic phrase-"Boy ain't no way boy"-playing in the background. She laughed as they posted it to her Close Friends story on Instagram, tagging him for good measure. It was meant to be a bold, blurry memory. Instead, it went viral. When Duke himself saw the story and replied, Dymira Johnson didn't expect much. Maybe a laugh. Maybe a "you trippin." What she got was interest. Curiosity. Duke asking for another video. Then, asking to post it to his story. From there-it exploded. TikTok, Snapchat, Twitter, Discord-everyone had an opinion. Everyone wanted to know who the mystery girl with the Duke Dennis hip tat was. And for a moment, she was the moment. But then the messages stopped. No more replies. No follow-ups. A month passed. Silence. Until 2 a.m., after a party, buzzed off liquor and temptation, Dymira opened her DMs and hit send: "What you doing?" She didn't expect a reply. But Duke? He was up. And he remembered her. What started as a flirty, chaotic, one-night decision is about to turn into something far more complicated. Feelings start to bubble. Jealousy gets involved. And when two people with unresolved tension finally meet again in person-nothing is off-limits. He didn't ask to be stamped on her body. But now that he is-he doesn't want anyone else getting close.

Into the Centaur World (COMPLETE) by TRMEbooks

All I wanted was to help. I didn't expect to discover a world of non-humans. I have enough to juggle between going through medical school and work to pay for my tiny apartment. But when Ruby, a young pregnant woman is in need of help, I decide that one more thing can't hurt, right? I guess the answer is yes when it ends up with me trapped in the centaur world with a one year old and an electric fox that could stab me in the back at any moment... again. It doesn't help that I don't know the language and they're on the lookout for me. My goal is to make it home or to the child's father. But they're centaurs, unicorns, and pegasus after me. I know I can't outrun them but I can make it through this world without getting trampled, right? ("Into the Centaur World" takes place in the same universe as "Tèarmann Chronicles")

I wrote it as just something to share with my friends and then other people started reading. So I decided to work harder. The most recent chapters are the best. Okay continue "Everything is a Work in progress, be patient with those who are creating the work" "Adopted By Brendon Urie" I can't believe that Brendon Urie from Panic! Ar The Disco was here. 'Stop it Nicole' I say to myself 'Don't get your hopes up'. Wait, why was he alone? Where's Sarah? • • "You guys I'm sorry about that. But she did exceptionally well consider that I just sprung this on her 20 minutes ago. And she did great out here seeing as she had just woken up from passing out. Haha. We are going to see a doctor after this though and make sure she's okay. How about I do a couple more songs for you. Just two though. I do need to take her to the doctor." That's all I hear before I fall asleep. • • "You know you start school soon right?" he says like he's trying to sound like a father. "You're actually gonna make me go to that hell hole?" "Watch your language. Your only 14 and yes. I'm making you go to that hell hole." • • "Why are you the calm one? Most kids would be freaking out." "I need to stay strong for mine and your mentality. The last thing either one of us needs is to freak out completely." • • A story about a girl. That gets adopted by a famous singer. And her world is turned upside down. Don't miss out on this book about her journey through high school. ⚠️Rated Mature For Suicidal Actions and Depressing Content⚠️

Death Is My BFFLAD (Book Two Original Series) by katrocks247

(Bfflad- Best friends for life and death) Dear Reader, Let's start at the beginning shall we? I died. Oh no, not one of these stories again where someone angelic and heroic saves the damsel in distress. If only I was that lucky. My heart stopped beating. My lungs stopped working, my soul began to lift away... And then I was saved by a beautiful man with a kind heart and sparkles sprinkled around his head in a golden halo. A cunning, dazzling smile etched his angled features and his hair lay perfectly on his head like...black, sinful layers of pure cynical distrusting evil. Evil that was just waiting to onset a innocent girl as myself and allow her a short amount of time of happiness, and then finish her off when she became older. I'll give you a hint. The beginning of that description was slightly exaggerated. The Angel of Death. One of the only creatures known that was capable of settling the boundaries of heaven on earth. The only creature capable of making one of the Devil's darkest deals to my loving mother; a second chance for her daughter. This comes with consequences of course. Everything you know about Death is wrong. Death is not natural, Death is not normal, Death is not doleful, and Death is far from mercenary. Death blends into the shadows like coal against the most atramentous sky. Death walks the earth with his cursed, monstrous and exotic features, his enticing voice and betraying alluring eyes. Death deceives, scratches, and plays with your mind, until you slowly and painfully loose your grip on reality. He'll make you believe he's a different person, that there's a sliver hope for him. Hope for you. Death is close.

"Abort it." "Excuse me ?" "Abort that thing inside of you!" He shouts in my face. I put my hands on his chest, trying to put some space between us. The man didn't even budge. "I'm not aborting my baby!" I feel strong hands wrap around my throat, and the next thing I know, I'm being lifted off the floor, fighting for air. "Listen here, you bitch you will abort that child, and if you don't, I'll personally kill you both myself. I'm a man of my word. Do not test me." He spat dead calm. Elora finds herself in a sticky position when her brother was in a terrible car accident, leading to an expensive medical bill that neither of them could afford. Her parents died when she was young, leaving her brother as her sole guardian. The two had been incredibly close over the years, and she had to find a way to help him in his current position. She had no choice but to sleep with a man she knew nothing about for money to cover the hospital bill, but later found out she was pregnant. The worst-case scenario is that the father wants nothing to do with her and the unborn child. After three years of guilt, pain, and regret, the two cross paths once more, and Elora struggles to make the right decisions as he was determined to be in their little girl's life.

Intertwining by Hayden1669

Elliott was like most boys. He has bright yellow hair, with even brighter green eyes. He has two arms. A head. A heart. But he learned early on just how crushing the world can be to you. How it can easily Fuck with you. How it can leave you broken and bruised with nothing with barely a beating heart. So maybe he wasn't like most boys... What happens when he's shipped off to yet another Boys Home. And how long till he's shipped off to another? ------------------------------- 1st book: Binding 2nd book: Intertwining 3rd book: Longing -------------------------------- *NOT MY STORY* This was originally posted on AO3 by PandaReal
