Lab Baby

Eyes Wide Open

The Earth was floating.

He couldn't feel anything, completely numb all over as he fell into the cold darkness. He tried looking around for anything familiar, anything that could give off that he was safe. Then he remembered his baby. He looks down at his flatter stomach, placing a hand on it, "No!" He whispers, shaking his head in horror, "No no no!!" He screamed.

Flailing his arms around as he searched the darkness, he cried out for his baby with sobs breaking his chest and tears blurring his eyes. His little baby, he had to be around here somewhere! But suddenly, a bright flash of light that was so intense it made him shield his face lit up through the darkness and soon he was surrounded by white.

He catches a figure standing before him, a woman with long white hair framing her face and a long white dress. She had a white banded crown around her forehead that shimmers in the light as she smiled softly to Seonghwa. The omega frowns, "Who... who are you?"

"Why I am the Moon Goddess my sweet child." Her voice was like silk and honey, absolutely soft and sweet to his ears. She approaches him slowly, holding out a hand for him to take. He gently takes it, fear and anxiety courses through his body. Her skin was even soft to the touch, much like whipped, creamy butter as her soft hand caressed Seonghwa's hollow cheek. She hums, "Your little one awaits for you."

"Where is he?" Seonghwa looks around the white room, "Where's my baby?"

She smiles, "Walk through that door, and you'll find him."

Seonghwa immediately turns around, catching sight of a wooden door and his heart began to race. Was this a dream? Was he actually dead and she was letting him live? Was his baby... He shakes his head and turns his head to thank her, but the Moon Goddess was gone. He frowns, the room was still white however from her angelic presence.

He doesn't hesitate to turn back to the door and slowly turn the knob, hearing it click as he pushes it open.

"He still hasn't woken up?"

"Not yet," a soft sigh was heard, "he hasn't mumbled anything about his baby for about an hour now... so maybe he's getting ready to?"

"You're the midwife Joong, is there anything you can give him to help?"

"Mingi I've done everything that I can do. At this point, it's up to him and the Moon Goddess." A deep growl of frustration followed by a single pound to the wall was enough for the light voice to snap, "Alpha, the children are napping and I swear if you wake up Han-"

"I'm sorry," the deeper voice sighed, it was quiet for a moment before he spoke again, "I just... I can't lose him Joong..."

"I know," the softer voice spoke, "You won't. I have a feeling he's going to pull through soon. Why don't you go get some dinner and I'll keep watch of him tonight. Check on the baby too, Wooyoung may be about done with feeding him."

No other words were exchanged as footsteps sounded to the door, and it closing softly behind the owner of the deeper voice. Seonghwa took a chance and decided to peek an eye open, but he immediately shuts it when bright light from the window before him blinded him. He groans softly, bringing the blanket around his shoulders over his head to shield the light some.

He heard a giggle, "Good evening." His heart races as his eyes open under the blankets, the light wasn't as bright there but he knew he would have to face whoever was speaking to him. He took a deep breath before lifting the blankets slightly and coming face to face with the sun. His eyes squint as he reveals his entire head, pain in his stomach caused him to moan slightly and frown, "Oh god."
