Chapter 1 - Question
The next morning was the morning Angela and Ian had been looking forward too, the day they could bring their baby boy home. Angela looked into the cot where baby Beyond lay. His raven locks covered his eyes as he slept, he had woken a few times during the night demanding to be fed, but this was just the way babies were. He had just had his morning feed and after begin burped he was placed into his cot and he fell straight to sleep.
Angela turned to her husband and she held him close as she kissed his cheek. "I can't believe we have come this far already, almost ready to bring Beyond home," she smiled as Ian smiled back. He and Angela had been through a lot, it wasn't an easy pregnancy for Angela, but they both agreed it was worth it in the ends he was worth it, the little life that they had both created. Beyond.
Ian turned as he heard the doctor enter the room. " Well Mr and Mrs Birthday, all the tests have come back to say both Mrs Birthday and Beyond are perfectly healthy, once we get the discharge paperwork complete we can allow you all home," the doctor then smiled and turned to look at Beyond. "Please make sure however to keep an eye on your sons eyesight. He does have unusual colouration of his eyes which we do believe to be a genetic abnormality, however their could be some problems for him in the future so please don't hesitate to contact us if your worried," he then lead Ian away out of the room to complete the discharge papers.
Angela picked up Beyond and carried him over to a chair in the corner of the room. Beyond slowly opened his crimson eyes and squinted a little whilst his eyes adjusted to the light. He looked up at his mother who smiled down at him, he looked just above her head again, to those objects, just floating there. He was captivated by them, not knowing what they could possibly be. Angela kissed Beyonds forehead and began to gently rock him to sleep. "Don't worry my baby boy, we will be home soon,". Beyond let out a small whimper as he was slowly rocked back and forth in his mothers loving arms. The combination of the captivating objects above his mothers head and the gentle motion of being rocked back and forth meant Beyond soon succumbed to tiredness and was again asleep.
After around an hour had passed, Ian returned to the room that Angela and Beyond where in, he made sure that he had all their things packed and he carried them to the car and stored them into the boot. The family saloon car was the perfect size for the small family, plenty of space for all 3 but not ridiculously oversized. Then their midwife brought Angela out in a wheelchair as she cradled the tiny newborn. Once they had baby Beyond strapped in his car seat, and Angela was helped into he car, they both turned to look in the back at their tiny baby boy.
"I can't believe this is really happening, we are finally a real family," Angela smiled again at her husband. "Our family is now complete,". They shared a kiss and then began the short journey to begin their new life as parents to their first baby at home where they belonged.
3 Years Later
Beyond Birthday was his parents pride and joy. He was the child any parent could dream of. Even at only 3 years of age his intelligence was more than that of a 6 year old. He was a very curious child who loved everything and understood everything. Well, everything but one thing. Beyond had finally learnt how to read and count. So when he had finally mastered these two things, he discovered the objects above every single human he had ever laid his crimson eyes on were numbers and letters, these of which he didn't understand. He had never spoken about them to anyone. He was so young, an innocent 3 year old boy, so he was convinced everybody could see them.
"Beyond darling it's time for your supper," his mother called from the kitchen. Beyond rushed to the kitchen as fast as his little legs could carry him. He looked at his mother with hungry, eager eyes as he was given his favourite food. Toast with Strawberry Jam. He loved the taste, texture and colour of the fruity, sloppy substance. He looked at his mother and smiled, the objects above her head still there, never changing, just there.
"Mummy can I ask you a question?" He asked whilst shoving as much of the food into his tiny mouth as he possible could. Angela smiled and wiped the crumbs and jam residue from around Beyond's mouth.
"Okay darling but don't talk with your mouth full okay?" She couldn't help but smile at the 3 year old as he tried to swallow down the mass of toast and Jam that was inside his tiny mouth. He finally manage to swallow the food and then proceeded to look above her head, then straight into her eyes. Crimson meeting blue. He then asked...
"Mummy, what are the letters and numbers for?"
