Another day was destroyed by rain. The city was soaked for the fifth time this week, dampening not just the land, but the citizen's spirits. Gladly, it would not be long before the rain ceased. The clouds were nearly gone.
However, in a hospital within this city a baby was born... barely. His breaths were short and shallow; he couldn't cry if he wanted to. This child would not live. The doctors were trying everything to help the baby, but nothing worked. This child was going to die. Before he would eternally sleep, the father took his child out of the hospital to show him a glimpse of the world even in the rainy conditions.
The two were beneath the hospital's overhang, protected from the water and the cold. Weakly, the baby outstretched his arm to the bay. His father could see it, too. In the water was a phoenix, its fiery feathers dieing in the rain. However, its flame did not cease. It flew off into the sky above them to find another day.
The father of the child was astounded. This was a sign! Phoenixes were not found in such civilized areas, though- especially in this kind of weather. With such stress of the child's birth he had to be seeing such things. He took the child back inside.
After being rocked for many minutes, the baby fell asleep. His breathing was still shallow, but he was peaceful. Whether or not the phoenix had really been there, as well, it was a sign. It didn't matter that it was a hallucination or reality... it was a spark of luck. For now, all was peaceful.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After giving birth to her first child, the mother immediately fell asleep without the chance to merely see her baby. Now, as she awoke and looked around she saw her husband along with two doctors tending hastily to the child. What was wrong?
She called her husband over. He told her about their child's difficulties and the procedures they were trying now. A doctor warily held the child in his arms and brought him over to his mother. The baby's eyes were open now, observing his surroundings. He had beautiful blue eyes that even at that age were piercing. He would grow to be a fine boy... she could see that. He would live.
A/N: Well? So far so good? Be sure to let me know by reviewing!!!!! I know this is a short chapter (especially for the first) but I promise I will try to update soon as long as you (the reader) promise to review. Please??? Thank you!!! I hope you liked it so far!
