I Woke Up Being A Baby

“Oh hi there, My lady?” A soft voice beside me woken my soul up.

“Oh… our sweet little angel is now awake. Can you see me?” 

I tried re-opening my eyes and saw beauty. I stayed looking at her for about 2 minutes and ended up drooling. Wow, feels so good for my first time in heaven, huh? 

Her hair is plain black and straight. It suits her heart shape and pretty face. She has baby blue eyes that could possibly melt a man's heart in an instant. Her skin is white and flawless. Is she even real?! Even beauty queens can’t compare to her! She’s so effin’ beautiful!

“Abububu~ abubuuu~” (Who are you?!) My brows arched at my sudden weird voice. I tried to reach my mouth but it’s so hard to do! My eyes widened when I saw my hand. I gasped for air and shivered. What… What?! Why are they so small?! What happened to them?!

“You want to talk to Mama? What little sunshine?” She hummed. Her voice feels so soft like a feather but I can’t help but get confused about this situation!

What?! Little sunshine?! Mama?! Where the f*ck am I?! As long as I remember I’m dead! 

“My sweet angel, you seem so active today, aren’t you?” She lifted me up carefully. Angel? So, I’m really in heaven right? So… is she Mama Mary? 

Well… If this is heaven, do all spirits become like me? What happened to me anyway? Why did I become so small?!

“I won’t sing you a lullaby for now. It’s already your playtime so Mama will be here for you my angel…” 

“Abuuu~ ababuu~” (Is this heaven?) Ugh! Why am I spitting my saliva?! Gross! 

“Let’s go for a walk now…” The beauty smiled at me. She’s just so beautiful. And I can’t help but to drool so hard! Why am I like this?!

W-wait?! She’s carrying me and then… and then…

“My baby Everon Monique is the prettiest and you’ll find that out yourself when you grow up.” She held my tiny winky hand and slightly played with it. 

It’s a baby’s hand! Why do I have this?! Why did I become like this?!

I became… I became a baby?! How… How is that even possible?! Is this my new life?! How come I can still remember my past?! Is this… Is this some kind of a curse?! Just like those fairy tales?! Oh God! This is making me crazy! I want to see Hawlie and Clinton, right now!

“Oh… shush my little Evie. Don’t cry… don’t cry.” She softly danced with me. I calmed down when I smelled her fragrance. Ah, she smells so good! 

“You like Mama’s scent?” She giggled. “Then you’re a cherry blossom lover too like Mama.”

Oh… A cherry blossom? It smells so great. I have never smelled something like this before. Should I sniff her again? 

“My lady…” An old man bowed his head in front of us. He glanced at me with his soft expression. Who’s this? He’s wearing something… so cool. I’ve seen that suit before. I guess in some kind of a stage play?

“Oh… Edward.”

“Your excellency is asking for your presence.”

I look at my Mama… Well, I’m slowly accepting the fact that I came back from being a baby. I’m sure I can’t do anything about that. My Mama looked so flustered. Hmm… Why is that?

“Alright. I’m coming…” She started walking carrying me but the old man stopped her.

“He said only you, My lady…” He said with a monotone.

My Mama gasped at those words. Yeah, for me it’s a bit… It's a bit insulting. I’m still a baby so I can’t totally react. “Don’t let me lose my patience towards you, Edward. I will bring my daughter with me.” My Mama turned her back but stopped again. “If I heard you talked to me like that again in front of my daughter, I will never forgave you.” 

My hold tightened on my Mama’s dress. She seems so tense. I wonder who’s that person she'll meet. Wow! Is this some kind of a soap opera?! I feel like I’m in a movie?!

“My lady…” All people are bowing and greeting her with respect. It seems like she’s some kind of a high end billionaire! It can be seen through those people’s eyes. There’s something about their eyes, they seem so frightened or agitated. Hmm… I couldn’t tell. Those people too, either men or women are wearing different attires. It’s just… it’s a bit different. Is she the wife of a noble? Is my father a Mafia somewhat related to those stuff? If it is… Cool!

We stopped in front of a grand big door. My eyes sparkled as I saw the glimmering gold like parts of it! And every corner has someone standing firmly. Wait… their attires are familiar too! It looks like a knight's costume from the Victorian Era of noble men! Where the Emperor, prince and princesses are the most respected people in the world.

“We will meet your father now, My Evie,” My Mama smiled sweetly at me and I didn't give any damn reactions. Hello! I can’t even move my hands! I’m still a baby.

“Your grace… Lady Alicianne has arrived.” Someone from behind the door uttered.

The door opened. My Mama went inside carrying me through her arms. In the middle of this majestic room, a handsome man is sitting and busy writing something on his table near the window. Is this… Is this my Dad?! Wow! I’m drooling again!

“You called?” My Mama asked. The handsome looking guy with golden honey-like hair stood up while raising a brow. His broad shoulders are shouting in arrogance. He looks so masculine, too.

“Yes…” His cold grayish eyes landed on mine. 

“Your grace… May I ask why you suddenly called for my presence?” My Mama asked. The handsome guy didn’t answer, instead he walked nearer and nearer to me. Damn. I feel like crying again. Why is he looking at me like that?! He’s scaring my baby heart!

“Is she… my daughter?”

I felt my Mama taking one step backwards away from my father. Hey… What’s happening? Why is she suddenly tense? I look back at this man who’s not leaving me a single stare. What’s his problem?! She’s making my Mama scared too! Bad handsome! He shouldn’t stare like that to a pretty lady!

“Y-yes… She is…” My Mama trembled.

“What’s her name?” 

“Everon Monique Hemress…” She said and eyed me with her ‘it’s okay’ look.

The handsome man smirked and caressed my cheeks. “Your name came from my name, ei? But more meaningful and pretty.”

From his name? What is his name anyway? I’m curious!

“You should go now. I will call you again, later.” He turned his back and went back to his table. My Mama bowed her head and kissed my forehead tensely before heading outside the room.

“It’s okay now, my sweet one,” she smiled at me again. What?! What just happened? Just like that? He called for what? And why does my Mama look so frightened?

After that, I just found myself lying in a colorful cabin with sparkly heart shaped toys at the top. It looks so astonishing but I guess it’s normal for my baby heart and body but not for an adult mind. 

This just feels so weird. How did I end up being a baby anyway? Did some malfunction happen while God is processing my next life? Did he forget to take my memories away? I don’t know… AND THIS IS MAKING ME CRAZY!

“You miss Mommy that instant?” My Mama laughed beautifully. Yes. Even her laugh are beautiful. The way she talks since I woke up, it seems that I did really become a baby, huh?

Well, just what I said before, all I need to do is to accept the fact that I came back from being a baby. I should just enjoy this new life instead. Sighed.

Now that she’s a little far from mine, I can actually peek at her body. My brows furrowed as I saw her dress. It looks like a ball gown. Wait. Come to think of it. Those people from before are wearing differently too! And it really looks like it came from an ancient era! 

If it is then… What type of nobleman my father was? Is he an emperor? A king? A count? Or a… Duke? Just by looking at this extravagant house with sparkling diamonds and golds I could already tell their status! But still, I’m wondering.

Well, I can’t tell for now. If I could only run and walk. Hmmm… come to think of that, too. How old am I?

“Come on now little Evie. Let’s get you to sleep. It’s already your nap time,” she said softly, reaching for me again. She lifted me up and kissed my forehead before dancing me swiftly with her body.

What?! It’s already my nap time?! How much time did I spend drooling and thinking so deep? Gah! I miss my friends already. Why do I need to experience this agony? Why do I need to remember my tragic past? It makes no sense.

“Sky is blue

And you’re pretty too

My Evie are bright

As sunshine is true

Honey just hold me tight

Take me with your dreams tonight”

When my Mama started singing me a lullaby, my eyes started to drift into darkness. And that’s how fast my baby body gave up to sleeping.

The next day, I woke up in bed. I slowly blinked my eyes and scanned the whole room. There’s no one inside except me. Hmm… It is still my little room with Mama but… hey wait!

Why do I feel sudden uneasiness inside my… pampers?! Did I peed or poop?! 

I tried moving and it felt really so disgusting! I think I did poop or something. But where are the people?! Why is there no one here?! I need help!

“Uwaaaa~ waaa~” (Help me!)

Well certainly, my cry reached out to my Mama and some maids. I finally felt relieved when they changed that disgusting thing between my thighs. Gah! So much for my first time experiencing being inside a baby’s body, huh? Not bad for a baby.

“You’re Dad wants to see you, so don’t be scared, okay? If anything happens, Mama is here to protect you from harm. I promise.” She kissed my forehead again after dressing me up.

What did she mean by that anyway? Protect? From harm? From whom? Dad? That’s strange.

She carried me again into her arms. I am holding a pink teddy bear while she carries me to a familiar pathway. This is the way to my Father’s office, I think? My baby body is also taking my mind. Agh.

“Do you want me to go inside with you, My lady?” A maid beside my Mama spoke. She bent her head slightly so I couldn't clearly see her face. But I could tell she’s in her teens or twenties. She still looks so young.

“No need Chiselle. Wait for me to call you before you go in. I don’t want you to get in trouble.”

The maid gasped worriedly. “No, my lady, my job is to protect you. I can’t just stand here and do nothing.”

Mama smiled sweetly at her. “If anything happens to me today, take Evie and run away from here. Take my jewelries with you and live a life—”

“No! My lady! I can’t—”

“Just for Evie, Chiselle. This is a favor I could only ask from you. Make this little one safe and secure, if anything happens…” I gasped as I saw her eyes forming tears through her eyelids!

W-wait! What are they doing?! Why are they saying that all of a sudden?! What are they talking about? Why do I feel so scared about this? 

The maid sobbed and frantically wiped her flowing tears. She nodded and bent down again. My Mama reached her head and patted it lightly. Wow… why do I feel like crying this time?

“Now Evie…” My Mama glanced back at me. “I don’t know what might happen today but I hope…” She smiled painfully. My heart twitched at the sight of her. W-what’s happening? “…You can still remember me even when you’re just two years old.”

Before I knew, I was already crying between her arms. Well, a baby is fragile so I can’t blame myself for that. 

But really… What's this sudden change of mood? I slept peacefully and I woke up with this heavy atmosphere. Am I in some kind of a movie? 

She kissed my forehead and hugged me tightly. “I love you my Evie…”

I just stared at her until we went inside the office again. There I saw my father at his table with not just one but five good looking guys watching as thoroughly. They almost have the same expression through their eyes… It's madness.

Who are they? And why are they looking like that to us? It seems like we do some kind of an unforgivable sin.
