Taemoors POV
I looked toward the crib.
With slow steps, I walked closer.
That tiny moving body sent goosebumps through me.
I stood in front of him.
The moment I saw him...
I didn't know what to do.
Should I laugh?
Or cry?
I couldn't understand my own feelings.
His eyes were closed.
He slowly turned his tiny head.
His little tongue peeked out.
For the first time in my life...
I felt like I was standing in the dock while this tiny little being held all the power.
I wanted to reach out and pick him up.
Then I noticed...
My hands were trembling.
I took a step back.
There had been blood on my hands.
My clothes still carried the smell of death.
Someone placed a hand on my shoulder.
I stepped back even more.
My heartbeat became louder.
I was scared.
Scared of Yashal.
Scared of this child.
What had happened to Taemoor?
"Taemoor... are you okay? See... he looks just like you." She gently held my hand.
No...
He's not like me.
He can never be like me.
Never.
My heart pounded harder every passing second.
I forced myself to breathe.
Then I slowly walked back to the crib.
I looked at him once more.
Carefully...
I reached out my trembling hands.
Finally...
I picked him up.
The moment he rested in my arms...
Everything disappeared.
The fear.
The panic.
The trembling.
The voices.
Everything.
Only he remained.
My eyes filled with tears.
I looked at him...
And the world stopped.
Something changed inside me that day.
That very moment.
Holding him...
A feeling was born within me that kept me alive.
Everything around me faded into slow motion.
I smiled through my tears.
Pulling him closer to my chest, I kissed his forehead.
