Chapter 2: Family

While staring at the newborn face, the baby suddenly opened his eyes. Even though Chu Mingfeng knew that newborns can't see clearly yet, he feels that his eyes were looking directly at him. Chu Mingfeng couldn't help but raise his hand and slowly touch the baby's soft face and feels an unfamiliar warmth in his chest.

Chu Mingfeng lost his parents at the young age and his remaining brothers all has their own family. Meanwhile him, he stays alone and probably died alone. He practically doesn't have any social life and doesn't know how to have one, but now, staring at the slightly pink thing on his arms he couldn't help but feels that he finally wasn't alone anymore.

Then, the baby reached out his little hands at him as wanting to hold his hands, he held his little fingers and gently plays with it. He didn't realize that he was smiling the whole time. Then, he thinks about the name that he would give the baby since it was him who give birth to him and he doesn't see any other relatives yet, but realized that his name was probably wasn't Chu Mingfeng anymore because he heard the doctor and the nurse called him 'Mr. Gu' .

The nurse finally came back with a white box and a white towel, "I'm sorry for the long wait, Mr. Gu." She said with a smile and slowly close the door behind her. "It seems like you finally calmed down, it's alright... it's a normal reaction we got from people who just give birth especially male. Some new mom's usually need time to recover especially mentally after giving birth. Especially moms lie you who's a single mom." She said while opening the white box and arranging the items inside.

'oh so I'm gonna be a single mom in this life huh?' Chu Mingfeng thought to himself.

Chu Mingfeng watch as she take out variety of things that he never seen before from the box, "What's all that for?" He asked seeing a lot of things being taked out.

She briefly glance at him for a moment and went to what she's doing and answer him with a gentle tone, " These are the equipment needed for breastfeeding, since you are a male mom, then you will have a hard time on breastfeeding since man's chest don't grow that much even in pregnancy. Don't worry I will demonstrate it to you so you can do it by yourself next time." She said and turned around to smile at him.

She put some of the equipment together and it let out a robotic voice saying it was now activated. Chu Mingfeng's eyes largen at fascination and if he wasn't holding a newborn baby at his arms at that moment, he would have jump up and ran directly to the nurse just to be able to look closer at that thing that look like it was from movies.

She then bagen to put the other things together and then tapped at the white watch that look like an apple watch at her wrist. A small hologram screen then appears and the nurse began to tap there too. Chu Mingfeng couldn't help but think that maybe he travels to the future that's why he was able to give birth even though he was a man and that explains all the high tech equipment that the nurse was assembling.

After the nurse tap some things in the hologram, she turned to him and show him the final look of all the equipment being pu together, "The process of putting these together has a manual. If you buy a breastfeeding equipment in a pharmacy it will come with a building manual and instructions on how to use it." She said.

Chu Mingfeng looks at the finish look of the equipment with expectations and realize that it look just like the ordinary breastfeeding pump that he know. He once saw it on the tv so he's not that bewildered by it. He thought it will come out look cooler.

While Chu Mingfeng was busy on being disappointed, the nurse then gently takes the baby from his arms and put it down on the bed, then she began to unbuttoned half of his upper clothe. Chu Mingfeng was stunned at this and try to cover himself but the nurse stop on unbuttoning and attach the breastfeeding equipment on his right chest in one swift move, the nurse movement was so fast he didn't even manage to react.

Then, a green light appears on the equipment and he began to feel a painful feeling on his right chest, it's as if his chest was being suck by a vacuum at the highest level. The nurse take the tube of the equipment and connect the other end of it to a small bottle.

That was one of the thing that make him sure that this was indeed real and he really gave birth earlier. The pain he was feeling couldn't possibly fake because he feels like his skin would be ripped off by the breastfeeding equipment.

"Don't worry you will get used to it after some uses." The nurse said with a smile at her face but at that time Chu Mingfeng can't see her smile as gentle but eerie.

'like hell I would!!!!' Chu Mingfeng shout at his head, his face contorted because of pain.

Chu Mingfeng watch as a small amount of white liquid travels to the tube and pour to the bottle. 'Damn...I got milk coming out of my chest!!!' he said to himself.

After some minutes of pain, the bottle was finally pass the half of the bottle and the nurse finally turned off the equipment. After the nurse take the equipment off his chest he couldn't help but touch his chest that currently swollen and turned slightly reddish. His nipple was popped up and itchy ,there's still some milk dripping out from it.

"After getting the milk, you will have to warm it up to up to one or two minutes." She said and takes the bottle.

The nurse put the bottle to a small white box and tapped some buttons that looks like a timer on it, the door of the small box was transparent so Chu Mingfeng can see that the bottle was spinning inside, just like in a microwave. After some minutes, the box let out a robotic voice saying 'Done'. The nurse takes out the bottle from the box and shake it a little.

Then, the nurse position the baby to his arm, "Make sure that the baby's neck was on the right position and that his back is on the right posture so that we can avoid accident while feeding the baby." She said and hand me the bottle.

After smelling the milk, the baby hungrily sucks the bottle and even let out a little cooing sounds as if it was hungry for a long time. While drinking milk, the baby's one hand was holding on to the bottle while the other was holding on Chu Mingfeng's hand. 

"He must be hungry since earlier." The nurse said looking at the baby while putting the equipment back to the white box. "Mr. Gu, I will go now to check on the other patients. Just call me if you need anything." She said and turned to the door.

As if remember something, the nurse turned back to Chu Mingfeng, "By the way, the hospital bills were already paid and your belongings are on the desk besides you. Mr. Gu, you should think about the baby's name now so that we can register him." The nurse said with a smile and bowed slightly.

After the nurse left, Chu Mingfeng looks at the baby that was hungrily sucking at the bottle and smile, "Hmm...what should we name you little bunbun." He said and gently poke the baby's soft cheeks. Chu Mingfeng only named a few cats before and that was when his parents were still around.

Chu Mingfeng looks at the things at the desk besides the hospital table. It was a brown leather tote bag and some brown folders. He carefully reached one of the brown folders and opened it. It was his medical paper, his name is Gu Feiyan, 24 yrs. old. He gave birth on December 1st year 3056. It was stated that he was a single mom. It stated that he lives at Youdou district in Star dragon City.

He finds it strange that there's no other relatives that was stated on the document and only his name were on it. He brush it off thinking that maybe he was born an orphan.

Chu Mingfeng looks at the picture on the document and saw a fair young guy with a black hair and black eyes. He was pretty and could be said a little feminine for a man because of his facial features. He lowered his eyes and looks at the baby's feature and saw that only the black hair were inherited from him. The baby's eyes were like golden orb, shining so brightly, his facial features wasn't determined yet but he looks pretty cute in Chu Mingfeng's eyes.

He then remembered that the baby doesn't have a name yet, "Hmm... because my name now is Gu Feiyan your surname should be Gu too..." He said and try to think of a perfect name for his now only considered family.

"Gu...Mingfan? Gu...Feiming... Gu...Yan...she..." Then his eyes rounded, "Gu Yanshe!! That would be your name and from now on I will call you 'yanyan'." He said and kisses that baby's forehead.

"From now on, you would be my family."
