Line of Time

Assigned Female

As more and more of their family joined them in the afterlife time pasted and their souls regained more power. They were nearing the time where they could all rejoin life and be born around the same time again. They had wanted it that way. Their souls were connected through so much, they couldn't stand to think that that had been in vain. But as they slipped away and returned to life the souls that remanded felt grief. They had to be apart until they met in life once again. That hurt them. 

Mathias, Lukas and Gunnar had all left and now as it approached to Tino's turn, he became into a panic as he saw what was ahead of him. His life, his form. He didn't want it to be so. He was scared. But all the same he was conceived and his soul bonded to a body that would soon form and take shape. His soul was fused to the wrong body. Throughout his development as a fetus in his mother's womb, he hoped that things could change. That his body would not stay female that by the time of his birth that a male would be what they saw. That he would be born as male and never hear the phrase that all doctors say. He prayed that he would hear that he was male instead of female. His soul was stubborn and it was male through and through. There was no changing that, he could not be molded or cut to fit into a female mold. It was something that couldn't be done. 

Tino's worrying had taken a toll on his development as a infant in his mother's womb. His stress and anxiety had caused his birth to be triggered at an early time. This had happened before in past lives but he had been ready to face them all with a fire inside of him. This time his fire was only mere embers that were on the verge of going out. He was poor in health already before he even took his first breath. He knew that the doctor would say that he was a female and that would be it. He no longer had a chance of hoping that they would say male. His mother had been given the okay to push, to help him leave her womb and be soon held in her arms as lies would start to form his fate in this life.  

As a mother struggled with giving birth her family waited for the news that would send them into a joy. The baby had finally arrived, they wished it hadn't come this early but it was here now and sent away to be cared for. But before it was it was assigned a sex according to it's organs, there was nothing more to it. No one asked the small person what it was it was a label that was given to them and because of this label. It's life would be a lie and things would be that much harder to face in the future years to come. 

"It's a girl. Congratulations, she's a beautiful baby girl." The doctor said as the baby let out a weak cry as the mother's ears perked up to hear the faint cry from her newest child. The doctors looked at the tiny infant and quickly took it away, the woman was filled with a fear that she knew all to well. She had lost a child before, a girl also and now that feeling of fear of losing another daughter that could fill that hole in her heart. 

The doctors did all they could to try and save the infant even it appeared that it did not want to live, they made it live. With wires, tubes and machines. They kept her alive with heat and oxygen, her family was joyful that their daughter lived but on the other side of the veil... People that had known Tino's soul before hand in the lives he had prior... They were sobbing, their forms filled with pain for him. They had lost a member that they loved dearly and now to have that person be filled under the wrong sex and be forced to fallow a future that was already laid out for him. Tino had been given a new name and role. He could not remember anything from his past lives, which was good in the long run but he did remember that his soul was male and a strong one at that. He had never been a female before and he wasn't going to let it happen now.

But as the days went on Tino's infant mind pushed out his last memories of his past lives and thus his crying stopped. It was never a very loud cry and never lasted long. Most thought she was a quiet baby but from her birth a sadness seemed to surround her tiny being. She knew that this was wrong that these people were wrong and that one day they would see. He just had to be strong enough to make them see that.
