Chapter 2 Freedom

Arthur didn't like how he had no control over his body and felt like his life is one hell after another recently, he felt a warm liquid fill him and knowing where it was coming from did not comfort him at all, he wanted to move his hands to push away only to find that he barely had any strength.

'dammit, well it's better than no arms like before'

When he was finally able to pull his arms up to try to push himself off, he felt like crying again after what he saw.

He had baby hands

Arthur had never been the smartest kid but even he was able to put 2 and 2 together.

'giant people..... Breastfeeding..... Baby hands... AM I A FUCKING BABY'

Everything that had happened to him slowly started to make sense, he did die that day, that place where he was being thrown around was properly the afterlife and those flames were soles, and he was reborn.

Arthur pushed himself off his 'mothers' breast and felt really tired and still having little control over his body let sleep take him once more.

"feisty little guy, trying to push away the second he's done and falling asleep straight away" Jack commented

"Yeah... He's perfect" Molly replied, with a tired smile on her face

"get some rest, you've earned it"

"ok..... Please watch him while I" she didn't finish the sentence and fell directly to sleep.

"you don't even have to ask" Jack whispered as he picked Arthur up.

He rocked the baby gently back and forward and admiring his newborn son's golden hair.

"you have your mother's hair and nose" he commented.

"the rest is mine, your ganna be a real lady killer when you grow up, but?"

Jack recalled the shot while Arthur had his eyes open.

"I wonder where you got those sky blue eyes from"

A few months have passed since then and Arthur has gotten used to his new baby life, and today shall be a big step for him.

'im gonna crawl out of this stupid room'

For the last few months, Arthur has spent most of his time in this room, not being able to speak or move got really boring really quickly and he was determined to at least leave the room.

'come on baby Arthur, you've done it once in your past life, 2nd time should be easy'

He was currently on the floor 'playing' with his father.

"oh? Why do you look so determined today?" Jack commented noticing the odd face Arthur was making

'fuck you old man, I might not understand half of what you're saying but I will finally escape this endless cycle of tickling'

Arthur rolled onto his stomach

'alright Arthur, just like you practised in bed'

He began to push himself up

"MOLLY GET IN HERE I THINK HE'S TRYING TO CRAWL"

"WHAT" molly screamed as she opened the kitchen door and sat opposite the farther son duo

"come on Arthur, come to mommy"

Jack seeing this stood up and went to the other side of the room

"come to daddy Arthur"

Arthur stuck in between the two tried to ignore them and focus on one thing

'THE DOOR'

Arthur pushed himself up with great effort and practically dragged himself towards the direction of his mother

"yes Arthur honey come here" Molly beamed

But her smile quickly broke when Arthur crawled right past her and right into the kitchen, Jack had never laughed so hard in his life

'FREEDOM' Arthur thought as he examined the kitchen but before he could explore any further.

"that's enough exploring for now little adventurer"

Arthur paled as he heard the voice of the one man he loathed more than anyone in this new life so far

"while funny you hurt your mother's feelings, why don't we go back and apologise"

'NOOOOO don't put me back in that room, I can apologise in the kitchen just not that room anymore please'

But sadly no one can hear his cries

After Arthur learned to crawl life became chaos for his parents, cuz if they looked away for a second Arthur would disappear, trying to clime things going into rooms he's not meant to, Arthur made it his personal mission to not be in his own room due to the boredom it creates.

'I wonder if my maturity is starting to go down due to me being a baby?' he wondered

A few more weeks passed and the most exciting thing to happen has finally happened, Arthur was about to go outside, granted his mother would be carrying him into town and he's not going to be able to get away this time but he didn't care, all he wanted was fresh air for once and to get away from his father.

When Molly and Arthur arrived in town he was shocked by what he saw, there were animals walking around that he had never seen before, people with blue skin, people made of rock, stalls with foods he's never seen before, forget what he thought earlier all Arthur wanted to do was escape his mother and explore

'I had my suspicions before but I'm definitely not on earth' Arthur thought to himself

'I wonder if there's magic in this world?'
