Chapter 7
The New Arrival
June 30, 2011, Sasory rushed Miugi to the hospital. I stayed at the house of course. I had no real place in their family to go their baby's birth. I sat on the couch, sobbing, and waiting, waiting for them to come back with their new arrival…
He was small, and he had bright blue eyes and a tuff of red hair on the top of his head. His name was Mergo. I hated Mergo. He had played a role in taking my Danna away from me, so I hated him. But there was a problem. Sasory and Miugi could only get three days off of work when he was born. So after three days, they went back to work, and I was left home to look after their son. Their baby. Their whole meaning. Their whole life. Their whole love…
I stood there, over the baby in its crib, holding a knife in my hand… I wanted to kill it. I wanted this whole drama to end. I could kill it and run away. I could run away and leave Sasory and Miugi to suffer. They could suffer as I have…
But as I stood over the infant, it started to cry. Now, the weird thing about me is that I can't stand to hear others cry… I just can't, it hurts my frail heart… I stated to shake and dropped the knife on the floor. I quickly picked the baby up and tried to clam him.
"No, no, don't cry, un! Don't cry, un!" To my surprise, the baby stopped crying. I gave a sigh of relief and sat down on the couch holding the baby. I looked at him, and I felt something that I hadn't felt in a long time… Love. I loved Mergo. It wasn't his fault he was born. It wasn't his fault he had taken Danna from me…
"Oh, Mergo…" I said to the baby, "please, please forgive me, un…" He had fallen asleep… I think. So, for no reason at all, I told him a story. I told him a story about ten outcasts that met, came together, and became a family. I told him how one day they were separated and how some day, they would all be together again… I could almost swear I saw him smile… I think he liked it…
Miugi hired a contractor to build another room for Mergo to have. I called the Leader and told him about Mergo. Sasory and Miugi also asked me to be Mergo's Godfather. I accepted. But, I started feeling strange about having to watch their son, by my self, almost all day, almost every day of the week. But I didn't complain.
