Chapter 2; Me and Alana(updated)

A few weeks have gone by since I came to this unknown world. It is a time of spring, or at least it seemed so from what I saw of the outside environment.

The house in which I and my family are living resembles a wooden hut you see in a typical village a lot at first glance. But it is a big house and was mostly made of wood, with a circumference wall made of rocks.

This house consists of 3 big rooms, one dining hall, kitchen, and pantry. Out of 3 big rooms, one room is used as the living room and the room in front of the entrance is used as a clinic for patients. The other two big rooms are used as bedrooms.

The life of the netizens of this world is quite similar to my previous world.

During the morning people of this house are busy with their work. My father and aunt Lyla are healers. As for my mother, she is a regular housewife and deals with all house chores.

I also found that living as a baby is the best life you can get. After this period of life is gone, you will never get to enjoy the freedom of time. And let me tell you, I slept well. I haven't slept like this since I was a toddler!

Well, Babies are the luckiest creatures born in this world, everybody loves them.

My first days as a baby in this world are peaceful but far from boring. I have no responsibilities, all I have to do is eat, sleep, poop, and the occasional baby noise or finger grabbing routine. That left me with all the time I needed to think about my future.

On Earth, it was no mystery that kids had a greater potential for learning than adults, and since my family seemed human or at least human-like I could hope for that to be true also in this dimension.

The only and disgusting downside here is that I don't have any bladder control in my body. Due to that reason, I'm excreting myself in my diapers and I am ashamed because of that. Not only did I excreted in my diapers, but that fucking doctor lady also had to change my pants every single day! Also getting used to poop and wetting myself wasn't a pleasant feeling either.

Let me tell you, God. She is so pretty due to her cute face and with that work of art body of hers, there would be a tough competition for her future boyfriends. And not only that, this Doctor lady is my aunt Lyla. My mother and aunt Lyla are sisters.

My mother's name is Salina Hale as I mentioned earlier and my father's name is James Hale, at least they seem to be good people. Thankfully, my mother showered me with nothing but love and affection, making my day, not a total loss. Despite my bias about mothers due to my previous life, Salina managed to make me feel loved and protected. That wasn't half bad at all. I suspected my mother to be an angel because I never met such a warm and kind-hearted person. Hell! If she is not the best then I don't know who is.

Despite giving birth to me recently, she is still a good-looking woman, in her early twenties. She is well endowed in all the right places, with a fit body honed through hard work. Her beautiful hair reaches till her shoulder blades. Seeing my mother with her hair down on a sunny day must be quite a sight to behold!

Anyways, where is my father? I haven't seen him since this morning. Shouldn't he come by now?

" LYLA! Come here! Look...", my father said in a loud voice.

"What the fu*k? Don't shout, James! The kid is sleeping! I can hear you well, I am not deaf you know. What happened?" Lyla asked in a voice that had a little bit of anger. But isn't that my father's voice, what's going on? I wanna look. Shit, Fu*k this body of mine. I can't even control my limbs!

"What the… James! whose baby is this?" Lyla asked in a shocked voice and wide eyes.

"I don't know. I found her while I was on my way back from the patient's house. I saw her in the basket that was put in front of the gates of the temple." My father said in a hurried voice.

"What do you mean you found her? Stupid! I'm asking who left her there. Have you noticed anyone or found out any trace of someone else there?"

"No, I didn't have time to look if anyone was there or not. But, while I was on the way back I observed something strange. I felt mana force around within a 20-meter radius. I thought it was a mana beast but the force was too strong. So, I went there to look at what was producing so much mana with such intensity, and there I saw her in the basket. I didn't notice anyone, but right now any of that crap doesn't matter! Look! She's burning up!" My father said in a scared and worried voice, showing some concern.

"Sh*t!! why didn't you mention this before? Are you stupid or what! Let me take a look at her." Aunt Lyla checked her. "You're right, she has a high fever! Bring her to the next room and lay her on the bed next to Griffin." She said in a concerned voice.

What the fu*k is happening? I want to look! Sh*t! Curse this body of mine. I can't even roll my body to the other side! This is one of the disadvantages of being a baby, you don't get to develop any motor skills yet. Let's try one more time in one breath. 123...go!!! Yes! finally. HUH...whose baby is she? She doesn't look good...

The baby was a bit pale and skinny with white skin that had a little bit of red tone to it, which indicates someone with a high fever. I hope she will be ok.

"Where's Salina?" my father asked.

" She's sleeping in the next room. I let Griffin play in the basket so he doesn't fall. Now shut up for a moment. Don't disturb me! Let me concentrate." Lyla said in an angry voice and glared at my father in a way that showed the anger of a woman.

What is she going to do without any equipment and medicine for the treatment?

What the…! Why is she placing her hand above that baby's belly and what is she even reciting?! Are you mad, woman? Let me tell you, God, she doesn't have an ounce of brain cells in her head to send someone to get the baby some medicine or to take her to a real doctor!

Huh...! Why do I feel ticklish all over my body? What the fu*k is going on? Why do I feel warm? I feel like I am brimming with power.

"L-Lyla, is she going to be ok?" My father asked in a scared tone, with fear in his eyes.

"Phew! Thank heavens. Let her have some rest now, she will be fine in the next few hours. But I don't believe this. How can someone be so cruel enough to forsake a newborn? How can anyone do this? if you hadn't found her she wouldn't even have survived!" Lyla said in a serious tone.

"What the...fu*k! How can this be possible? How...? Where the hell am I? Is it the same planet I used to live on? How can she heal her without any medications?" I metaphorically dropped my jaw to the ground while trying to control all these thoughts in my head.

Finally, I came to my senses. Doctor lady, ma'am!! You have my respect. I am sorry for insulting you. I thought you were a girl with a face and body and no brains.

Anyways….has the world evolved so much so that they can use nanotechnology to heal like that now? I need to find an answer. Right now my eyes are full of admiration for her as I came up with this conclusion to satisfy my mind and stop it from wandering any further.

" Lyla...what are you guys doing so late?" My mother said in a voice that sounded weak and sleepy while she came out of the bedroom.

"Ohh! Salina, you woke up. Do you feel anything abnormal or any pain in your body?" Lyla asked with concern in her voice for her sister.

"No, thanks for asking. By the way, If you don't mind me asking, who's baby is she?" my mother asked. "She looks so adorable, just like an angel with that black hair and round face. I bet She is going to be very pretty!"

"I don't mind but you should ask James. he's the one who brought her here." Lyla said.

"So, are you going to tell me or what? I can't wait to meet her parents! I wager they will be as beautiful as their daughter." My mother said while trying to hold the baby in her arms.

"Sorry honey, but I don't know. I found her in front of the temple this evening while I was returning home. I didn't see or sense any trace of anyone. And when I looked at her, I had no time to search for her parents due to the condition she was in." As my father said those words, my mother's face turned grim and sad while she looked at the baby, holding her in her arms.

"So, what should we do with her now? Shouldn't we try to find out about her parents?" My father asked.

But if you guys do that then you have to be careful. What if her parents are the ones who left her there? Then all our efforts will be useless. And if by any chance you found them, it will be dangerous for the baby to be in the hands of such undeserving parents. I'm saying this from my experience. Parents who can abandon their child one time can do much more than that to get rid of her. I hope this world will be better than my previous world, where female foeticide is happening.

" NO!! I don't want to! Think about it, if someone is cruel enough to abandon a nascent child then they can do it again. Even if we learn about them, our efforts will be useless. And if someone kidnapped her from her parents then we eventually get to them. We can not let a child be in irresponsible hands. For now, we should wait." Mother said in a serious tone while carrying the child.

Wow! Amazing! It's like my mother had just spoken my mind! She is kind, beautiful, and intelligent. Now that's what you call a woman.

"Sure, but if they didn't come? Then what shall we do?" my father asked.

" Then...we should adopt her then, not only Griffin can have a new sister but they can also play together so that they wouldn't feel lonely. What do you think Lyla?" My mother said, asking my aunt Lyla's opinion.

"I couldn't be more proud of you to call you my sister. I had expected you to say this. I say this is a wonderful idea. So, what shall we call her then?" aunt Lyla said.

"I have a name in my mind, what about Nykaa?" My father said in a nonchalant voice.

Yikes! Is this the type of name he came up with on his first try? Did he come up with my first name by mistake or what! I didn't expect THAT from him.

"How about Sophia? It's a nice name. I thought about it when we didn't know the gender of Griffin. What do you think Lyla?" my mother asked.

" HEY!! What about my choice?" my father asked, but he was ignored.

"I also do have a name in mind. She is so precious and serene, so, how about... 'Alana'! It means 'precious awakening'. What do you think? " aunt Lyla asked my mother.

"Wow! It's a wonderful name! Nice, so it's decided. From now on her name will be Alana." My mother said with a happy and warm voice.

'Alana'! Bravo! It's a nice name. I like it.

Whenever I look at her I'm reminded of her. I don't know how to explain this feeling. I feel like...OH MY GOD! How can I be so stupid! How can I not even remember about 'Alice'?! I miss her so much. She was my sister before coming to this world. I can never forget the problems we faced together. She was the hope for living after our father left me and her.

I still regret it. If only I hadn't gotten caught and myself killed, I would've killed those 'BASTARD' for what they did. I had this regret and one of the mistakes I made was that I didn't get the revenge that I wished for. I wish I wouldn't make the same mistake again. And I pray to you, God, that wherever Alice is, please help her by giving her some of my happiness. That happiness, that she didn't get to enjoy. I hope wherever she is, she finds the joy that she didn't get.

I promise you, God, that from now on if any son of a b*tch tries to mess with my family, I shall send those b*st*rds to the deepest part of hell and make sure that their life is miserable enough for them to wish for death.

"Hey! Why do both of you never consider my feelings? You didn't even let me pick the one name that I suggested when griffin was born and now this!" my father said in a voice that makes you think that at any moment he will start crying.

"Ok...ok...but you will get only one chance. That's all you will get, only one chance. So try all your best. Do you have any good name in YOUR mind." my mother said with a scoffing voice.

"Well yes, for the matter of fact, I do have one."

" So what are you waiting for? Spit it out."

"PRINCESS'! What do you think? Isn't that a nice name?" my father proudly said. Now, I couldn't be more disappointed.

Sometimes it makes me wonder, why are we men born stupid including me?

" Ohh! Yes, it's a nice name. I agree with you but on one condition. That is, you are the only one that's going to call her by this name. I can allow you that only. What do you say? Are you okay with it or not." My mother said.

" Yes, I am fine with it. It's not like you will consider it again." my father said in a low voice.

Really, in front of women, we men always lose no matter where we are. Whether in this world or another, women are the real queen of the house whether they may be rich or poor.

" Sorry to disturb you, guys. You guys continue your talk. But I have to leave now. I need to go to the other patients. They are waiting for me." aunt Lyla said.

"Where are you going? Should I come with you?" My father asked.

"No, you don't have to…"

"Okay, Lyla. But when are you coming back?" asked my mother.

"I don't know, someone from Gracia is sick. so I think it would take time." Aunt Lyla said in a sad voice.

"Okay, bye. Griffin and Alana will be waiting for you. So, do try to come early." Mother said in a delightful voice.

"I know. That's why I shall wrap up as fast as I can," aunt Lyla replied while smiling.

She picked up her bag and headed to the door. After her leaving through gates father said," I hope her journey will be alright." In a worried voice. "By the way...what are you going to do now? " he asked the mother.

"I shall prepare some new clothes for Alana, what about you?"

" I also have some patients to check. Sorry honey, I can not stay with you right now."

"No worries, you should go. I think they are waiting for you." mother said with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, honey. I should leave now. Bye Alana, bye Griffin. Papa will be back as early as possible." father kissed mother's forehead and left while waving his hand to us.

So, now I have someone who will be my new sister. Nice! Welcome to the family, sister.
