Chapter Text
12:00 pm Streets of London (Gem's Prov)
It was pitch black outside; the sky was dark as the rain poured onto the sidewalks.
I ran as fast as I could through the streets; looking behind me to make sure no one saw me escape from my hospital bed. The rain pounded harder, as I slipped into a small alley; breathing in relief I allowed my weak body to slide against the wall.
I groaned in frustration when I beheld my attire, I was still in a white hospital robe" Nice, I ran out of the medical client without grabbing my clothes." I sighed.
To be honest I needed to escape that place for his sake.
I glanced down at the blanket my arms admiring the face of my newborn son. I stroked his soft brown hair taking in his facial features.
"You look just like your daddy," I cooed tears coming into my eyes.
"No I can't think about that now, first thing is we need to get out of the rain." I scanned the area seeing nothing, immediately I stood positioning the newborn comfortably in my arms.
I noticed him shiver and pulled the blanket more onto my son.
"Don't worry," I whispered.
" I'll find us a place to stay for the night."
The baby whimpered his eyes closed tightly, as I began walking out of the alley.
I ended up on another street, but I didn't expect there to be this many houses.
"This was going to be harder than I thought and I don't see an inn nearby."
It was late, and truthfully I did not want to knock on doors of strangers for a place for me and Jr.
After I had given birth, I knew I had to leave the medical clinic after all my baby's father Aaron was not normal and I knew that my son would be born the same.
I couldn't just take him anywhere, I needed a secluded place for us that way I wouldn't have to worry after all being a first-time mother is not easy.
I felt my baby shiver once again, I held him close to my chest, we needed shelter fast. I ran further down the streets.
Hoping for a miracle when I saw it an abandoned building, it was dark and tarred looking but I wasn't picky.
With sheer joy, I burst into the small building; it was surprisingly warm felt cozy, but the place looked far from it.
There were piled coffins, jarred organs, and a life-size skeleton that caught my eye.
"How creepy."
Around the area, I saw no one, I approached a desk in the front and gently set a sleeping Jr. on top as I glanced at a small note on it.
From what I read, this place belonged to the town's mortician.
"That would explain the coffins." He had gone to a convention for a few days and that meant the shop was temporally abandoned.
"What luck! And when he comes back we will be long gone."
I smiled happily taking Jr. in the back to explore our new surroundings.
To my happiness, there was a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, garden, work area, and a basement.
My smile grew wide at the luck of finding such a place, but I had to remember it was tempory for the time being. I began to yawn as I stared at the clock, it was 2 am time had went by pretty fast since I was in a panic.
I made my way to the bedroom since I could not find a cradle for my son.
I found baby coffin stuffed it with pillows.
To my surprise, Jr didn't notice and slept peacefully, while I jumped in the bed to get some well-deserved rest not bothering to take off the hospital gown.
