Chapter 5 – I'm feeling warm
He felt light, the weightlessness which made you feeling like you flying aimlessly. After an unknown length of time, he than felt a pulling motion, he wasn't sure of how long the pulling motion lasted for, but once it's ended, he experienced a falling sensation, the very fast one. Have you ever got woken up by feeling you're about to fall while you're sleeping? That's what exactly he experienced.
But to Cray dismay, all he can do was think, no vision nor smell. However, he did feel warmth, the type of warmth that envelopes your whole body. And also, a drum?
"What the hack? Where am I? did I survive? No way, even that leader got blasted to a char coal by that 1 fireball, how did I survive from a dozen of that? But hey at least it's warm here and that drumming beats…. Thought Cray but soon he felt sleepy and fall asleep.
Cray spent his time by waking up, think for some while, and doze off to sleep soon after. It was also unknown to Cray of how long he had been this way and how much long he has to stay in this current predicament of his.
"Oh wait, could it be? am I a fetus or some sort?" Cray thought in realization after waking up for the dozenth time.
"Oh god or any being out there, please don't put me inside of an animal or some sorts of weird looking humanoid creatures, I like my human part very much, well not too much but it's the one that I'm most familiar with" pled Cray to some higher existences that he never believed in after the realization hit him.
"The heartbeats meant that I'm not in an egg at least, now to ease my second worries"
Cray than proceeds to do a kicking motion,. It was a lousy one since it took a lot of effort and energy to just move his body a little.
"Come on mom, lets see if you have any maternal instinct or intelligence at all in that matter, perhaps, dad?"
He shivers a bit, after speculating the worse outcomes, yet still waits for any feeling of rubbing or something similar.
Soon after, he felt a rubbing coming from outside, it was very dull, but it was undeniably there.
"I see, at least I'm not a wild mammal jumping from tree to tree naked or hide under…" Cray than sighed in relieve stopped before he could finish his thought since he felt more rubbings. Once, twice, then more and more rubbings were felt. Cray was about to thank some unknown higher beings that he had never even prayed even once for the fortunate things which had befell upon him since with the many rubbings meant that the women whose womb he stayed in for this while, has people who care for her and her pregnancy but yet he stopped midway again.
"hmm…. Seams suspicious, well mom, we'll find out sooner or later about the people around you, and also how I'm going to looked like" Cray's suspicious nature took over.
Sure enough, after some more unknown time passed, he felt A pushing sensation like something pushing just finished after being cooked for 9 months, at least that's what he pictured it in his mind at the time.
"He goes nothing,… wait, should I cry and act like a baby? Nah… not my taste, saw some babies that didn't cry when they were born. Now hold on a sec, could it be that they also like me?
Outside
"Keep pushing dear, you already did this many times already, it's going to be just like the ones before" said the middle age women who's giving help to the younger women on the bed who's in labour.
"Here honey hold tight to my hand, you can do it" added a man in his mid-20 or so to his wife on the bed.
After some more pushing and a few long breaths inhaling and exhaling, a figure of a baby finally emerge.
The middle age women first pick up the baby and check it's hand for pulses than put her index finger slightly near to it's nose for breath, since the baby wasn't crying or even moving it's limbs around like most baby does. She exhaled a relieve sigh since all of those 2 things she did earlier gave signs of life. She than proceeds to determine the gender of the baby.
Congratulations dear Irvina and Lenfort, It's a boy and.." The middle age women started to congratulate the parents but soon stop mid-way after take a look at the baby's face, the little thing was frowning.
The experience was quite unpleasant to Cray, to be exact, it was really disgusting to him.
"Thank God I only had to go through this once, I'd really preferred I'm in an unconscious state while it's taking place, hey, hey!, watch it you old pervert! Mind your own business! Why are you giving me that weird look of yours?" Thought Cray during the whole Moments.
"what's the matter lady Alice? Is there something wrong with Arston? And also, why is he not crying?" asked Irvina worriedly while still laying on bed and covered with sweats.
"It's nothing dear, we'll make him cry than, you should really take a rest dear Irvina, even it's already your third birth, it's still took a lot of you". Said Alice trying to comfort the already exhausted wife.
She than lay Cray whose name is Arston now, on to the ned of the bed and start slapping the baby's butt.
"Come now little one, your parents wanted to hear your cries" she said while still slapping Arston's butt, each one is harder than the one before.
"What's the matter with you> you perverted women!, stop slapping my butt! This is child abuse, I'm not even 1 day old yet!! You could have just asked if only your language is not some gibberish to me! You wanna see me cry that bad? Then here you psychopathic pervert!" he than give the loudest cry he could mustered.
"There…. You see dear, he's a healthy little boy, no need to worry so much, I've seen many other new-borns that didn't cry when they just been born and they all grow up just like any other" said Alice while walking over to Irvina's side to handed her baby after wrapping him with a piece of cloth
"Maybe your right lady Alice, I'm just being me, worrying too much for every minor thing" replied Irvina while trying to give milk to her new-born.
"Holy cow, can't we skip this? It's already disgusting enough, come down Cray, come down…. Every baby had to drink milk once they're little, it's only a milk bottle, it's only a bottle, no negative thoughts here, nothing at all" thought Cray after realizing that the scene his in couldn't be avoided.
And so, after a full belly of milk and a small burb, he fell asleep on his new mother's warm embrace. His 2 other siblings than ask their mom to carry their new-born siblings for a short while.
"Mom, mom, can I carry him? I want to carry him" said the girl whose appearance is near mirror copied of Irvina's, just like a younger version of her mom. With a long red hair cascading down to a small portion of her back, a pair of green eyes and long eyelashes surrounding her large green puppy eyes.
"I also want to carry him mom! Yelled the slightly younger girl whose appearance is a mix of her mom and her dad. With a medium length dark brown hair going down to her shoulder, a pair of black eyes which both she inherited from his dead, a lovely feature of a girl and also with the naturally grown long eyelashes which she got from her mom.
"of course, you two, your mom could also use some shut eyes, but Amanda, try to keep your voice low okay… you don't want to wake him up and cry again do you? And as for Anya, take this cloth and put it on around your neck and put Arston on the wider area which is hanging in front of you, make sure to hold him gently and put your hands below his waste and head underneath the cloth okay…" said Lenfort to his two daughters and handed a baby strapper to the older sibling of the two.
Alice than excused herself after cleaning up the cloth and the bloodstains from the labour with a "please take care" message to the family which just gotten an increase on their member count.
Cray didn't notice a thing during the whole fiasco between his 2 sisters, the elder one didn't want to handed the baby in her arm to the younger one, the younger one thus tell her parent that her elder sister is being greedy, the parent asked the one who`s holding the baby to take turn on carrying him, the elder sister rejected with an excuse of her younger sister is too small to carry their sibling whose size is already nearly a quarter of her selves, the parent persuaded the crying sibling but to no avail, and thus ended up by the parent carrying the baby himself, but it started the squabbles between the sister siblings where the older one blamed the younger one for the misfortune while the younger one accused the older one of being selfish and greedy and both got a laugh with some scolding amidst the laughter from their parent.
