Prologue: An Average Reincarnation
In a fairly large and clean wooden house, a Doctor named Miles Evergreen finds himself in the middle of a particularly long and difficult labor as he tries to help his patient, a pregnant woman named Maddie.
"Alright Maddie just a bit longer I need you push a bit more okay?" Evergreen tries to give instructions to the woman in labor
"Arghhhhh what do hmmm think I've been arghh doing?!" Maddie in between painful grunts
Giving a faint smile to the woman's attitude, Evergreen started to resume pulling the baby out the particularity antsy woman. 'Well at least she still has the energy to be snarky, that's a good sign.'
"Come on honey you can do this, just a bit more now." Her husband, Mason, continued giving words of encouragement to his wife as she moaned and scuffed in pain.
"Hrrngggggg!" That was the last stretch as the baby, they now saw was a boy, popped right out into the doctor's hands. Maddie gave a long exhale as she slumped in the bed as the nurse on the side quickly brought a bowl of warm water and the doctor proceeded to clean the blood covered baby. Maddie and her husband were watching as Doctor Evergreen worked, checking the baby for any irregularity's or birth defects thankfully he found none. 'Pulse is good, breathing? Shallow but regular. No problems I can see on the surface.' Evergreen couldn't find a problem with the baby boy besides the obvious. 'He wasn't crying.' That put a frown on the Doctors face and if the quiet was any answer indicator the parents of the child were also unsettled by this. 'Is he mute? Or is there still blood in his vocal cords?' Evergreen quickly realized something the baby, its eyes were open and he was looking right at him. 'No he's not looking at me, he's trying to place me.' The way the boy looked at him made a chill run down Evergreen's spine, not cause it was malicious or creepy, it was just... 'There was too much focus in his eyes I mean he hasn't stopped looking into my eyes after so lon-'
"Doctor...is everything alright?" Maddie's tired question brought Evergreen back to the present as he looked at the newly made mother and father.
"Hmm? Oh yes everything's alright I just thought I saw something but it must be my imagination." The Doctor's answer brought some relief to the worried pair as Maddie asked if she can hold her son. The Doctor gingerly placed the newborn in the mother's arms as her husband peaked over her shoulder to get a good view. He chose this time to give them some space as he took the nurse and walked out the birthing room. 'What was that back there I could sworn that boy recognized what was going on after looking around but ho-'
"Dr. Evergreen?" The nurse, Allison, spoke up.
"What is it Allison?"
"Umm" Allison looked bashful for a second as she finally got out, "why were you staring so hard at that child back there?" It was the first time she's seen Dr. Evergreen take so much time with a baby and not do anything but look at them.
She got no answer as Evergreen relived that past minute or so with the new born and made a conclusion.
"Uhh you don't need to-" Evergreen cut her off.
"No it was nothing, the birthing must have me made more tired than I thought I'm going to lay down for a second let me know if they need anything." He proceeded to his room to lay down leaving Allison in the main living room. After closing the door Evergreen's mind started to wander and he couldn't stop thinking about the boy and the sheer intelligence in his eye. No matter what the Roman Catholic Church said he was a man of science first and foremost but his eyes, those eyes did not belong on a newborn child. No sooner when the good Doctor's thoughts started straying off conventional thinking did he hear the loud healthy cry of a newborn and that brought him a smile. 'What in god's name am I thinking about there no such things evil spirits or devils, I really need some rest.' Evergreen closed his eyes for a second the sound of the crying baby oddly putting him at peace.
10 minutes earlier
Maddie looked at the small and frail baby in her arms and was entranced. 'This is my son, this is my boy.' The thought brought a small smile to her weary state but that happiness quickly turned to worry over the boy's current quietness. 'Something's wrong. Why isn't her crying? Is he hurt? Can he breathe properly? Is he disappointed that I'm his mother...' Maddie's train of thought became more and more outlandish as she worried over her newborn son before she was brought back to reality by her husband.
"Maddie." She looked up at her husband as he looked at her with a sly grin on his face obviously knowing her imagination was working against her again as she had a tendency to do.
Maddie blushed at the look. "Stop looking at me like that…." She mumbled.
All she got was a light chuckle from Mason which made her blush harder. "Everything's fine Maddie, our boy is here in your arms safe and sound and healthy there's no need to worry." Her husband's voice successfully calmed her down but she still couldn't help but ask.
"Then why isn't he crying? Isn't that what all babies do?"
"I don't know Maddie." Mason admitted. "but does that really matter right now?"
Maddie looked down at the boy one more time before smiling and saying with certainty. "No, no not really." She hugged the boy closer to her chest and it was in that moment the baby's eyes opened and looked right into his mother's.
"Well hello there." Maddie spoke softly
The baby just looked at Maddie for a while before looking to Mason, who gave a goofy smile to no effect and around the room once before landing right back to Maddie warm gaze.
"Wonder what he's thinking about." Mason commented
"I know."
"Really? Then what was is he thinking about?" Her husband asked
"Why what else he can't help but be shocked and happy he has such a beautiful mother!" Maddie said with vigor and narcissism.
Mason just gave a blank stare to his wife and the boy in her arm also mimicked his look.
"Okay….how would he even know what beautiful means though?" Her husband couldn't help but ask.
"He just knows!" Maddie with a blush on her face
"Yeah bu-"
The baby chose this time to cry his lungs out finally signaling the world that he was here. The cry brought a smile to the fathers face while the mother also ecstatic quickly comforted the child.
"Shh, shhhh its okay. I'm here everything's okay you don't need to be afraid." That did little to quiet the crying baby if anything it made him cry louder.
"Hahaha now that's a good pair of lungs he's got on him." Mason's smiling face looked down on his son. "Told everything was fine he just need a second to prepare himself."
Maddie just gave her husband a light humph before swaying the crying baby and giving calming words.
Mason took this time to get back to the fields before sundown to get the rest of the crops he missed; he gave Maddie a light kiss before kissing the top of his son's head and headed out.
30 minutes passed after Mason left for work and her son was now quiet, all cried out of tears and softly breathing in her arms. Doctor Evergreen took this time to walk back into the room to check on his patient. He smiled at how protective Maddie was with her child even when she herself was nodding off.
"Hello Maddie how are you feeling?"
"Tired, fulfilled, happy…I'm feeling a lot of things right now Doctor."
"Fair enough, anyway you and your child are healthy and clean. I see no reason why you need to worry beside of course the blood loss." Evergreen gave his diagnoses and gave her to okay "Just try not to do any hard labor for the next month or so and try to eat more fish, green vegetables, and if possible some meat."
Maddie just nodded to everything Doctor Evergreen's suggested, he was the only doctor in the village after all and he supposedly went to medical school in central Europe so everyone respected the man.
"Name." Maddie looked up at the doctor with a puzzled face.
"What's his name?" The Doctor smiled at the confused woman
"Oh..." Maddie quickly gained a look of realization before saying "Pierce."
"It's a nice name."
"I know."
Maddie turned to baby boy now named Pierce and stated. Pierce continued to look blankly into space as if in deep thought and Maddie couldn't help but ask once more.
"Doctor, are you sure there's nothing wrong with my son?"
Evergreen stopped at the question and the more superstitious side of his mind reared its ugly head saying how a newborn shouldn't have such a reaction right out the womb, how well timed or sorrowful that cry was, or even how quiet Pierce was currently being without actually sleeping. All these things pasted through Evergreen's mind and they were right Maddie's son was nothing like all the other children he's had to deliver. Yet when he saw her worried face all that came out was "your son is fine Maddie you should give him breast milk soon he will get hungry." With that Doctor Evergreen left the room once more.
Seeing him leave Maddie just laid there with her son letting sleep slowly take with the last thought going through her mind being "I wonder what he's thinking about so much". Her mind thinking of ideas of what that could be from regular hazy new born baby thoughts to the incredibly ridiculous.
"Eggs, butter, and milk." Were Pierce's current thoughts
Maddie never even came close.
