1- Reincarnation?

There was a certain celebratory noise around me and some commotion of people around me.

At first, I could not hear properly, and also for some reason my eyes won't open at all. It's really confusing. After some time, I could hear them talking.

"Congratulation! It's a healthy Boy!"

[What! A boy! What are guys talking about?] I tried to move my body to look around or at least feel it.

"Ohh..hoho...! He is trying to move his body? Such a healthy boy! Thank you, Elia. You gave me a fine son."

[ Why can't I see anything? Are they talking about childbirth now? And where I am?]

"Dear, I think you should give him a name."

"You are right.... What about Edward?"

"Ufufu, that's a nice name dear. Ohh, look! Alex, he is your little brother Edward."

I could feel, a kiss? And little fingers touching my cheek.

"My little brother! For real?" A happy voice of a child could be heard and three or four people laughing around me.

[Wait a moment! are they talking about me? Did I just reincarnate or something?] My mind started to run faster and try to think about what really is happening to me right now.

But before going any further sudden drowsiness attacked me.

I could still hear them talking even though it's not very clear in the background.

"Oh, he must be feeling sleepy. Elia, my dear, you too rest for now. We will come back later."

"Okay. See you...... later Alex... good boy.... okay?...."

"Yes, mother.............."

"Ed-kun, are you hungry?"

A few days back, I could finally see and found out, I was the baby they were talking about. But, besides the fact that I was reincarnated, I couldn't seem to remember anything worthwhile. My past life was just a distant mirage.

The auburn hair and brown eyes woman with a very kind and gently smiling face is Elia Hendrix, my mother. And the charismatic man with ash brown hair with blue eyes is my father, John Hendrix.

My mother breastfed me, and after that, my consciousness just drifted off.

*******************************************************************************

With the passing of time, me being reincarnated or about the past life started to just fade away. Maybe, it has to do with, I was reincarnated as a child.

My father and my brother visited us [ mother and me] every single day. My brother Alexbut seems a little jealous but, he was very happy whenever he came over. From the looks of it, I am blessed with a happy family.

" Mother, Can I hold him too?" my brother asked our mother.

"Ufufu..... Oh my, honey, our son seems to grow up. He is now trying to take care of his little brother." Mother said with a warm motherly smile watching my brother's action.

"Yes, he is a big brother now. I just hope they will grow up together fine."

"Um... they will. Sorry, Alex-kun, he is still very small."

My brother was a little disappointed and he became quiet. Mother was worried a little and quickly followed,

"Okay, how about when he is a little older?"

With that, my brother became cheerful again and he started playing with my fingers and toes, he seem very interested in those tiny things.

I could see the sunlight coming inside the room from that big window but I haven't seen the outside world besides the small garden in front of the window.

From my observation, we might not be a very rich family but not so poor that we could afford three meals a day. And a maid for household chores.

I am still a baby with a little bit more matured brain/mind? I think.
