"Ugh," groaning sounded throughout the hospital room, a women lay on the bed with a man holding her hand.
"Honey, your doing great, just keep breathing in and out." The man said to his wife not knowing she was cursing him in her head for doing this to her.
"AAAAAHHHhhhhh," She screamed as though she was about to ripped in half.
"I can't anymore, please end this the pain is unbearable," She pleaded with the doctor and nurses helping her with the delivery. As she had pleaded with the Doctor a cry started to sound thoughout the room.
"Push, the baby is coming," is all the Doctor said, and with those words the lady in labour with all her remaining strength pushed to birth new life into this world.
*Baby crying*
{A new life brought into the world, con... *error* *static* *abrupt end*}
"What was that voice and noise," thought the man while simultaniously looking around to find the source.
"Honey! Isn't she beautiful," asked the mans wife. "Huh, oh yes, she is love," the man replied and rebounded from something he might not have been able to come back from.
"Vanessa, can I hold her?" The man asked his wife after she had been holding their daughter for a while after the nurses had cleaned her up.
Looking up slowly, prying her loving eyes away from her daughter she looked at her husband and said, "Mike! Why would you ever think I would deprive you from being able to hold our child!?"
Looking at his wife again with happy eyes and a smile that could enchant anyone he said, "Because you look so happy and beautiful, I did not want to ruin a site that I would forever sear into my mind."
Without any words, Mike leaned down and kissed his wife while she held out there daughter for him to take and hold.

It was 5 days later that Mike's wife Vanessa was cleared to leave the hospital. Small and minor complications came up about a half hour after the baby was born and Vanessa had to be rushed to another room to find out what was wrong. After all that worry and stress was put to rest she was cleared to leave the hospital.
Leaving the hospital was quite weird, there was no staff, Doctors, or Nurses walking around or at desks and to make things much more weird there were no cars either, except for ours.
(Switching to 1st person)
I walked to our Truck while pushing Vanessa in a wheelchair who was holding our child. I quickly opened up the doors and put my wife and child in the backseat and wheelchair in the bed of the truck. I closed all the doors then hopped in the drivers seat, turned the ignitionto be able to start the Truck and the quickly left the hospital.
On the road there was nothing, I kept on looking about but still nothing except for only empty shops, vehicles and roads. Nothing was making any sense not to mention that I could feel the unease rising from my wife and myself.
"Baby what's going on? Why is everything so empty?" Vanessa asked me with a voice filled with fear for what she is witnessing around us.
"I don't know, I have this uneasy feeling that like we are being watched or something. I don't know what's going to happen but do not make noise above a whisper, we will have to continue on foot." I said this while in the motion of turning off the Truck.
"WHA-mmmmm," I quickly covered her mouth with my hands to keep her from screaming anymore and gave her a look that said it all, she nodded after a minute then I slowly released my hold on her head to cover her mouth.
I helped her out of the Truck and thankfully she could walk albeit slowly, but walk nontheless.
"I am truly sorry Vess, I just don't understand what is going on and scared for us. I just can't get over a feeling like we are----"
*Boom*
******
And just like that I died, but that was not before I watched my little girl who was only a few days old get basically blown to smitherines and my wife get blown into 3 different pieces. I lay there despreatly dragging myself towards what remains of my family with 1 arm and a quarter of a leg as tears streamed down my face, first as a trickle then into a full blown damn break.
"Wh- *cough*- y," I couldn't cough, I couldn't walk, I couldn't really do anything. I finally got what I wanted in life, a wife, a daughter. A family that I have wanted for as long as I could remember, gone, taken from me before I could even enjoy it.
If I could have another chance with her and my daughter I would do things that would make war crimes and lovecraft to shame. I would protect what is mine through strength and wit, but only if I was given the chance to make it up to them for letting them die.
"If I had *cough* another chance, I would do everything I can to keep you and our little girl *cough* *cough* who didn't deserve this safe," I was slowly dying but I stayed alive long enough to prove I was strong enough and not afraid of death but defying it, then something happened.
( Do you want another chance )
"Huh?"
( Would you like another opportunity to make things right )
( Would you like to have your family back and to protect them )
( Would you be willing to help and protect ) *limited info can be given*
( Everything can be as they were but in a different world. A world of magic and fantasy, do you wish to give it another try and make a change, 𝙹⎓ ⍑𝙹!¡ᒷ )
*Your time is limited, know that this harbors nothing malicious and is a one time other with no strings attached for another chance at life with your wife and daughter returned to life once again and back to you*
[ Do you accept YES/NO ]
Without any hesitation and the desperation of a man that would willing to sell his soul to have his family back I said...
"Yes"
