Chapter 2 - 2. A new life

"Breath Madam Ventis! Push ! I can see the babies head." The middle aged midwife said.

Ugh! The woman struggled to push the baby out. She took deep breaths and continued to push.

After 30 more minutes of labor the baby came out. It was the man who was reincarnated by the goddesses Vespa.

He was quickly picked up by the mid wife cleaned and checked out. Alll sorts of lights came from the mid wife's fingers and spread out onto the child's body.

"The child is healthy madam Ventis" The midwife declared.

Ventis smiled softly and still exhausted from child birth replied " Thank you Martha. May I see my child now."

Yes,yes of course Madam Ventis one moment. Midwife Martha raised her hand and chanted CLEAN on both the Mother and child and wrapped him up like a dumpling before passing the baby towards her.

Ventis the Madam of house held her baby near her bosom. The reincarnated man shocked by what just happened was completely silent.

"That was magic!" he thought to himself excitedly. He started to wiggle around with excitement. He inadvertently made some baby noises out of joy but just being born he grew tired quickly and fell asleep.

When he woke up he was still placed upon his mother's bosom.

My baby what shall we call you? Since my husband is gone I shall have to live with giving you a name. She gently lifted him up to look at his face. Since he was recently born he wasn't filled out. He looked like an an angry raisin.

She stared into his eyes and the new born stared into hers. You better give me a good name mom he thought.

"Perhaps the name Baker would be appropriate. You should be named after my great grandfather who was a craft master who helped raise our family from commoner to aristocrat." Ventis spoke proudly of her great grandfather.

"Yes the name Baker should work." Ventis thought to herself.

The man who couldn't remember his former name felt lukewarm at his new name it wasn't great and heroic but it wasn't awful. At least it's not a terrible or weird he thought to himself solemnly.

Feeling hungry and frustrated he tried to get his mothers attention. He tried to move his arms and kick up a fuss but being just born and hungry he had little energy so he did what all babies do and started crying.

Baker my baby what's the matter? Did you poop yourself? She quickly turned him around and sniffed to check if her son pooped.

The midwife who was watching all this chuckled and said "Madam Ventis perhaps the child is hungry."

"Silly me, of course he's hungry." She turned Baker around and placed him on her chest while she walked towards the sofa. She then sat down and pulled out her right breast and moved his face down towards it so that he may begin feeding.

Seeing his mothers breast before him he quickly became embarrassed but having been hungry he quickly ignored his embarrassment and began to feast.

"Haha look Martha my child is drinking my milk. He loves his mother." Ventis was filled with love towards her child and rubbed his back gently as he drank.

"I'm just hungry. It's nothing special mother." Baker thought to himself.

As he began drinking he felt warmth flow through his body and started feeling full and he started to tire. His eyes grew heavy and soon enough he fell asleep.

While he slept he dreamt of his patron goddesses Vespa.

"Welcome child of Ventis. Baker is it? Not a terrible name but not an awe-inspiring one either." She looked at the man who became a child of two worlds curiously.

"Hello godess Vespa. Is this a dream or have you summoned me?" Baker responded with his adult voice.

"I have invaded your dream world. I just wanted to have a quick chat. How's the new family so far?" Vespa inquired.

So far so good, my mother in this life seems..how can I put it nicely. He thought for a second before replying "She seems very Compassionate and loving."

"Some might say overly compassionate." Vespa said giving Baker a knowing look.

"Your mother has had a hard time conceiving in the past. You are her first child after a year of trying and 9 months of pregnancy. She probably thought she couldn't get pregnant before she actually did." Vespa spoke about his mothers troubles.

Fearing never getting pregnant when you want to be a mother must be hard. Baker thought to himself.

Yes child many people stumble upon motherhood and don't really appreciate it but others want to become one and sometimes struggle for such a chance to appear.

"Life is complicated and difficult for your mother. She was a member of a noble family that was destroyed due to war. She is the last survivor of her house and she was lucky to be Wed to your father and that protected her life."

"Mother has had it rough." Baker mumbled and sighed to himself. Yes she has had it rough and so will you.

Baker I'm sorry but you have to sleep now if you don't you will die.

"What!" Baker shocked and confused shouted out loud.

Your body is too weak and your soul is too strong and it's causing issues. I will have to seal your memories and most of your soul but do not worry it will be only for a few years and you will start to awaken.

"You sure scared me Vespa." Baker replied quite nervously.

"No need to be afraid, the power I transferred to you is causing the issue it's up to me to solve it. When you start to remember I will appear again." Vespa spoke compassionately towards Baker.

She raised her hand and pointed towards

Baker and and golden symbols appeared and sealed his soul.

Baker was then sealed and fell asleep.

Vespa looked at the soul sealed up for a moment and then turned around 11 other figures showed up behind her.

Is it done Mother? One of the figures spoke. His voice was gentle and calming.

"Yes, it is done." Vespa replied.

I guess it's our turn now a stern voice said.

"It is." Vespa replied firmly.

The others didn't say anything but raised their fingers and pointed to Bakers soul and different colored lights shone from their finger tips and placed themselves in his soul.

I hope this goes well mother a third voice said somewhat rough and stern.

"It will. He deserves it he's my chosen." She smiled warmly at her children. Suddenly another light appeared and forced it's way into Bakers soul.

Vespa gritted her teeth and looked towards the direction the light appeared from. She then heard unbridled laughter.

The 11 other gods looked in the direction their mother was looking at and noticed it she was looking towards Earth Bakers old home.
