"Congratulations miss it's a beautiful baby boy" the doctor smiled down at the woman as he held her child in his arms wrapped in a towel to keep him warm. Passing the child over to her the mother kissed his forehead staring into his big amber eyes.
"Oh he's perfect" holding him close she allowed herself to lean back onto the bed she had been placed in cradling her son close to her chest; her heart beat strong in his ears. A strand of black hair was hanging in front of his shining eyes. Raising a tired hand she brushed it aside tucking the strand behind a small ear.
"I'll leave you two alone for a few minutes" the doctor placed his hand on her shoulder before leaving the room to let her bond with her first born.
"Hi gorgeous" she whispered to the boy who let out a tired yawn, "are you tired? Me too. Daddy'll be here soon, he couldn't wait to meet you" she cupped the new borns face in her hand who nuzzled her hand weakly. "Daddy and me haven't chosen a name yet, but looking at you I know it has to be extra special"
The young boy closed his eyes briefly as he stared up at his mum. "Go to sleep gorgeous daddy will be here soon" reclosing his big amber orbs the baby fell asleep in his mother's arms his small hands grabbing the towel he was wrapped in.
Following her son's lead she too closed her tired eyes falling into a blissful sleep.
A gently shaking on her shoulder woke her from her sleep. Opening her eyes a fraction she saw her husband standing over her smiling at her and her son.
"Sorry I'm late. Traffic was a nightmare" he whispered to her giving her a kiss on the cheek as he sat on the corner of the bed.
"Doesn't matter I'm just glad you're here" she whispered back not wanting to raise her voice in case she woke their baby.
"Do we have a name yet?" He asked as he traced a finger down the child's pale face. She shook her head
"I haven't thought of one yet but it has to be a special name. Not one you would usually hear." She answered looking down at his placid face.
"I have one if you want to hear it." He told her looking into her eyes she nodded her head "Shun" a small smile appeared on her face.
"I like it. Shun, my little baby Shun" the babies eyes cracked open slightly at hearing the name that would be his.
"Hey Shun." Her husband stroked the baby's head staring at his son with love in his eyes
"How long was I asleep?" She asked rubbing the sleep from her eyes
"Not long about fifteen minutes. The doctor told me that once you wake up they can take you through to a ward. I'll go tell him you're up" giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze he left the room to get the doctor.
"My little baby Shun. I can't wait to take you home we have your room all ready, you're going to love it" she told him staring at his face as he opened his mouth closing it as he watched her closely.
The doctor came into the room along with a few nurses. "We've managed to find you a private room Mrs Kazami we'll take you there while you recover" he told her as the nurses started to push the bed out of the room she was in.
As she was pushed away she stopped the nurses for a second; once they had stopped pushing the bed she handed the baby over to her husband, she offered him a small smile as she saw his face when he held his son for the first time. With him holding his son then nurses started to push the bed again each with a small smile on their faces at the sight of the new parents.
Once the new parents were set in their room the doctor and nurses left them alone.
"He's perfect." He muttered as he held his son closer
"Yes he is and he's ours" closing her eyes she let out a long yawn "I think I'll go to sleep for a few minutes"
"Go to sleep I'll look after him" he assured her as he kissed his son's hand as he tried to reach out to him. "I'll look after you Shun" he promised as he saw his wife's shallow breathing as she slept.
Next to her bed the doctors had placed a little cot which they could place him in to sleep whenever they wanted to rest. Seeing this he grabbed the bed and laid his son down in it being as careful as he could be "go to sleep Shun I'm going to fetch some food for mummy for when she wakes up"
Stroking his forehead he left the room shutting the door as he left to leave the room silent for them.
Many miles behind the hospital was a thick woods. The forest went on for miles and many believed it to be uninhabitable, no one could manage to venture more than a few feet into the woods before the vastly overgrown trees and the thick underbrush stopped them in their tracks.
Countless wild animals inhabited the unforgiving woods and many weren't even known to the people who lived in the village that resided just a few miles away. One such creature was the black wolf, its fur was blacker than the midnight sky and its fangs could rip through anything in its path.
Nothing was more deadly than the wolf and all the other animals knew; none strayed too close to the wolf.
Tonight the wolf was on the hunt; the usual rabbit or fox not pleasing the wolf tonight. It needed a bigger prey one that would offer up at least a moderately better fight than they did. In the light of the full moon the wolf caught sight of the hospital in the distance.
There he could find a decent meal.
Leaving the safety of the woods the black wolf wandered closer to the hospital the full moons glow glinting off his red eyes.
The moon's glow cast shadows in every room shrouding those who occupied the room in a protective cocoon of darkness. All of the rooms had the curtains drawn; all but one. A single room on the second floor of the hospital had their curtains open the windows too, the soft breeze that blew causing the curtains to flutter softly.
The black wolf had made it to the hospital; his blood red eyes scanning the building looking for its prey.
Its red eyes strayed from the lower level of the hospital seeing that all the windows were locked. The wolf wasn't stupid, in fact it was quite smart it knew that if it wanted its food it would have to be quiet, any noise and he would ruin any chance he had of finding food.
The beast's eyes locked onto the open window, a dim light shone in the room a small lamp providing the soft shine. A silhouette of a man blocked the light as he leaned down his amber eyes the only thing visible on him.
A ghost of what appeared to be a smile appeared on the wolfs face as he stepped closer to the hospital; it's sharp claws scraping on the stone wall as he tried to find grip to scale it.
After he had purchased some food for his wife and self he had returned to their room, turning on the bed side light so he could watch their son before he fell asleep on the hospital's chair he had set by the bed.
Trying to find a comfortable spot on the hard chair he bedded down for what was possible the most uncomfortable night he will sleep.
The wolf had managed to find a foot hold to climb the uneven wall; its claws slipping momentarily as it climbed inch by inch up the side of the old hospital.
As it neared the window the creature could smell the faint scent of food waft from the room being carried by the gentle breeze. Locking it's claws onto the ledge which was just wide enough for it's large paws to rest on, the wolf pulled itself up the rest of the way peering into the room.
The open window was on the opposite side of the bed to the sleeping couple and their baby. Letting out a small growl the wolf leapt in landing with practiced ease and skilful silence.
Creeping towards the sleeping woman in the bed it sniffed at her curious as to whether or not she was ill. He wasn't going to eat someone if they were diseased. Finding nothing wrong with her he raised a large paw his claws glinting in the moon light.
As he prepared to bring down his claws a small gurgling gained it's attention. Placing his paw back onto the sterilised floor the wolf wandered over to the cot by the bed.
Gazing in with hardened blood red eyes they softened slightly when his eyes rested on the small boy with big amber eyes that stared up at him with eyes that held no fear just childlike curiosity. Tilting it's big head the wolf stared at the child slightly dumbstruck.
Never had anybody looked at him with anything other than pure fear. Baring his fangs at the child he intended to see it cry in fear like so many others had before he ended their life.
Much to his amazement instead of crying the new born raised a small hand; stretching as far as his little arms would let him the baby rested it's tiny fingers on the beast's snout. Staring at the child the wolf didn't know what to do; after a moment of staring at the child it shook its head slightly making sure not to shake his hand off and instead of attacking the child he nuzzled the small hand.
The child let out a small sound that seemed to be good; the small sound brought a smile to the wolf's face. Looking at the woman in the bed the wolf shifted his gaze from her to the child squinting slightly at her he could see the resemblance.
Turning from her to the man on the chair he had previously been ignoring he could see they both had resemblance in the child. Though they both did have resemblance in the baby he knew that if they were to awaken they would have very different reactions to seeing him.
They would respond with fear unlike the child he knew was special.
Not knowing why the beast felt a pull that drew him to the child wrapped in a simple towel. Going through a sudden idea in his head the wolf grabbed the towel that encased the baby lifting it with ease he held him cautiously in his teeth; being careful not to harm the child.
The small onyx haired boy ran his small fingers down the centre of the wolf snout letting out a small gurgle that showed his happiness. Closing his eyes slightly the wolf started to walk to the window.
The woman in the bed stirred as the wolf brushed past her opening her eyes a fraction they soon widened at the sight of the black wolf. Sitting up as fast as she could she shook her husband waking him as well.
"Shiori what's wrong?" He asked pushing himself up out of his slouching position.
"Shun! He's being taken" whatever sleep was still shrouding his mind was quickly shook away as he stared in shock at the wolf that held his son in his fangs.
With them now awake the wolf knew that if he was to have this special child he would have to get out; now.
Not wasting any time the wolf dived out of the window the baby in his teeth as he landed safely away from the hospital and the worried parents who were at the window crying out to the wolf to leave their son while paging the nurse in an utter panic.
The black wolf turned to the parents looking at them thinking if he should leave the baby. But with one look at the baby with the big amber eyes that stared up at him with no fear whatsoever the beast knew not to listen to the parents who would ruin this special child.
Giving them a silent apology for taking their son the wolf took off into the darkness. Out of the crying parent's sights; and into the night with the child who wouldn't see it's parents again.
Just an idea I had. Please read review and tell me what you think
