Happiness Long Overdue

I felt cold, So, is this how the afterlife feels like. Mi-Sun felt Kind of disappointed, death was always so mysterious yet, there was nothing here just darkness and a chill that went to your bones.

A red haze that leads to a direction unknown started to appear. The haze wasn't exactly red, it was more like a mixture between red and pink. The haze beckoned Mi, like when a cat would chase a laser. Something inside her started welling up, if she had to put the sensation into words she would have to call it lust, or along those lines. After a while of following the haze, the surroundings started to brighten; Mi heard the sounds of a baby crying the closer she got to the bright light. Before she knew it she could see the silhouettes of people hovering above her. What the hell is going on around here? Who the Fuck are these people? This crying better stop, before I strangle the thing that's making it.

As Mi took another look around she noticed that all of these people were wearing clothes that should belong to a hospital. She tried to move her body but soon realized all her attempts were futile. Why can't I move my body the way I want to? All of these noises are giving me a migraine. I shouldn't have come here. If I knew it would be this annoying I would have stayed in that abyss place.

She continued to brood for a while longer before she started moving, whoa stop this is too fast. She was placed in the arms of a woman, the arms of this person were soft and bouncy. The woman started to speak while looking at Mi, "Hey little one, My name is Abigail. I'm your mom and that man over there is your father, his name is Peter." I looked into her doting eyes and I lost myself for a moment, What the what's happening didn't I die. Don't tell me I actually got reborn. Bull crap, I refuse to believe it. "And your name will be Sera, and you will be apart of our family from now on.", Abigail finished speaking and seemed to fall asleep from exhaustion. Dammit, dammit, DAMMIT! I can't even get to die!

A man with gigantic hands picked me up, he said "Mommies taking a rest now. Papas here, it's okay so stop crying." I thought in my head emotionless, I don't even know whats going on anymore. I felt my self getting tired then everything went dark. All of the noises that were plaguing me before faded away, just as the light did before

I woke up feeling refreshed in a soft bed with white bars surrounding me inside, I tried to move so I could go to the bathroom and get some breakfast; however, there was something I forgot, So, it wasn't a dream I was reborn into this body.

When I looked around, I saw a clean room that was lightly decorated with furniture, pictures of flowers, and tons of stuffed animals, At least they know how to decorate. She looked around to find a person because she needs food and to use the bathroom, but there was no one in sight. Mi-Sun, or rather Sera now felt complicated. I'm in this body, but how can I even live like this. Sera didn't like this situation at all and was even bewildered by it.

If there isn't anyone here ill make them come, Sera thought for a bit then after bracing herself for the embarrassment and shame she would feel afterward, she did the only thing she could think of, wail like the world was coming to an end.

The cries that came from her mouth were around three times worse than what you would here when babies cried in the grocery stores. In almost an instant a woman and man came rushing into the room, they were Sera's parents Abigail and Peter, They came in worried only to be dumbfounded. Abigail was the first to speak, "What are we supposed to do? Should we call your mother." Peter thought for a moment and then said decisively:" We can't call my mom, she would only yell at me saying 'I told you not to have a kid you aren't even capable of taking care of a dog' just like when we told her you were pregnant." Peter walked up to Sera, while he looked at her smiling, she felt like this man wasn't a bad person, but awfully stupid. "Hey, what do you need? we'll get anything for you." Peter, the idiot, said with a smile full of white teeth. She thought she may as well play along, Sera started to rub her stomach while twisting and turning on the small gated bed.

But, now that I could get a look at both of my parents, mother had: straight pitch-black hair, Purplish blue eyes, and ghost-white skin; however, fathers features were funny: he wore a ponytail that went all the way to his butt, his hair was blonde, baby blue eyes, a scruffy beard, and sandy colored skin.

"Hey look, Abby, she's hungry"

Abigail looked at the baby than with a smile: "Our little girl is already so smart, scary.", She left the room to look for baby food in the kitchen. Peter looked down at Sera with a twinkle in his eyes that seemed a bit too excited; Sera felt a bit uncomfortable with this gaze, however, she ignored the look thinking, how would I know what a parent feels like.

Shortly later Abigail came back with the food. Peter looked at Abigail with a bewildered gaze: " Weren't you going to try breastfeeding first," Abigail hesitated then spoke how she felt," I-Isn't that kind of embarrassing."

Peter thought then said," If you don't want to you don't have to," Abigail felt kinda dumb for being embarrassed and ended up saying she would.

Meanwhile, Sera did not like this idea, she regretted calling them even though she was starving. However, now that she thought the idea over, her mother was very beautiful; she couldn't think of how the hobo/surfer dude landed such a hottie. While Sera was thinking about useless thoughts, her mother already had her in her arms with her shirt off in the middle of taking her bra off. Her tinny pink nipples were in front of Sera's face. She fed Sera then went back to the living room where Peter was already watching TV.

Sera was feeling happy, too bad I'm not older I'd steal that woman for myself. Even though Sera was young in her previous life, due to her lifestyle where it forced her to grow up mentally, she found out her sexual preference earlier than most.

Sera laid there feeling full until it hit her again, I have to use the bathroom. What should I do?. She couldn't help and in the end, she had her diaper changed later that evening. In the future when Sera is much older, she would recall her memories as a baby as embarrassing and the worst period of her life.

Later that night after darkness took the room, Sera had her bright pink eyes open thinking over her situation. She thought: Babies sure like to sleep, I can't even help it when I have to; so, let's get what happened down: I was Mi-Sun before, I took the pill so I could die, and now I'm in an infant called Sera. Not much has happened, either that pill had some mystical like effect or this is just what happens when people die and I somehow kept my memories by accident. Sera let her mind wander of things of the past, she smiled like a person with no regrets or worries; she fell asleep shortly after in the land of dreams.

Sera woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, looking around seeing if her new parents were there. No one was in the room as expected, she truly felt bored; How can anyone stay in bed all day like this, no wonder babies cry all the time. Falling back to sleep with nothing better to do. Sera awoke later to see a big group of people in the room, she was horrified these people all surrounding her made her want to vomit.

It should be known that in Sera's previous life she was a loner, she hated large amounts of people being near her. Sera wanted these people gone so she decided, Why don't I try to talk dunno if it'll work. What a stupid passing thought.

She opened her small mouth saying with the innocence of a newborn: "Get out, only mom and dad are allowed in here," Her words were like a small stone bringing down a mountain.

"Your kid just spoke, Wait... Hasn't it been only a few days since she's been born."

"That's amazing is she a genius?"

" Sera speak again. For your auntie, please."

....

After a while, people started going home, but Sera's head felt like it was it by a freight train. Those people drug her around like a wet noodle. Sera's parents saw the guest out the door then returned to the room with Sera, her mother's warm smile paired with her purple blueish eyes melted her heart. When was the last time she's seen a smile such a this, maybe when her mother and father were still alive?

Sera's eyes started to redden and grow moist; the tears came down faster and faster by the second. Abigail felt hurt her heart burned to see her child cry like this, " What's wrong, do you need something."

Peter looked at Sera then sighed: "I have to work tonight, I won't be back till around eight in the morning." Peter then proceeded to pick Sera up, hug her tightly, and gently kiss her on the cheek. Sera thought that this father might not be so bad, so loving and caring towards his family. Peter strode to his wife pecked her on the cheek, he said a few words of goodbye then he went.

Abigail held me in her arms, the warmth hit me right to the core; she said with a soothing voice: "Mommy loves you.", she sat me down lightly on the bed. Abigail turned to leave the room, she shut off the lights then the dark surrounded enveloped me. She thought a bit and wondered how she could talk; she came to the conclusion that all babies can talk, but they haven't properly learned until way later on, " I wonder if I could get used to this," Sera said to herself.

Sera woke up the next day, she wasn't like other babies because of her high intelligence, other babies were like a blank sheet of paper; she wouldn't cry all the time and she was pretty 'well trained'. The way this daughter of theirs acted from how they expected her to act was a surprise; but, not a bad surprise this brought major relief to the parents.

Sera thought for a bit, Since now I know I don't have to cry to get their attention that'll be easier. But, babies aren't supposed to talk at this age, or not capable of, whatever I've already talked once my as well just talk. The rest is future me's problems.

"Mom-mom mom! I'm hungry.", Sera said zealously. Abigail came in with some baby food, my eyes looked at the baby food and I thought Wish I had teeth I'm really craving a steak.

"You baffle me, who knows how you learned to talk on your own. Maybe you're a genius." Abigail said, however, she went by saying," But, since you can speak, that means you can understand me. So, you yelling like that can't go on; your father needs his sleep he's only gotten home a little while ago. Do you know what to do?", she waited with her hands on her lips and questioning gaze.

I couldn't think of defying her, the aura around her was so cute:" Yes, mom. I'll be quiet from now on.", In my mind, I wondered how could I get mom's attention if I can't yell, I am a baby after all. The most I can do in this body is squirm my arms and legs.

My mother took out a heart-shaped button that had a latch on the end of it then she said, "I don't know if you'll understand, but push this button if you need me it'll tell me you want me.", she took the latch and put it onto the sidebars that kept me in, just to where I could reach the button from where I lay.

"I understand, push the button, You come"

"Such a bright girl, now let me feed you.", Abigail said with tender love.

She ate the food that her mother spoon-fed her, however, " Mom, give me your milk," I couldn't resist. Abigail still felt uncomfortable breastfeeding, she got through it somehow. She's too cute! Next time I'm going mess with her a bit. Abigail left the room after reminding her to use the button if she needed anything. Sera reminisced about her past life, she thought why she didn't forget about her past, she just didn't have enough information to work with. This was a new start, but she would never forget her mother from her past life as well as her father, the one she could hardly remember. Such pain won't ever heal, will it?
