Upon regaining consciousness I found myself in a new dark space.
Hmm… am I back to the same place?
No, that looks different. If I had to describe them, the other would be empty, infinite and desert. While this one seems… narrow, very narrow. I feel like I'm floating in water.
*Badum*, *Badum* !
Hmm? What is this?
It feels like a heartbeat. No wait ! Rather two heartbeats.
And it looks like one of them is mine !!! Have I recovered my body? Is all the time I spent in this infinite space was just a dream? In that case that would mean I was in a coma the entire time. So I would have survived the plane crash?
No it doesn't look like that. If so, I would be lying in a hospital bed and not in this liquid environment. In addition, the presence of this second heartbeat puzzles me.
Wait a second !
Two heartbeats, a dark liquid space, a whole body. It looks like something that seems totally impossible to me. Well, there's no point in thinking too much about this now, I'll have my questions answered in a few months if I'm right.

(Time skip: 7 months later)
I faintly felt a pulling force in a certain direction as the surrounding walls contracted. I heard muffled cries of pain.
Finally, a faint ray of light broke through the darkness.
I felt like I was rising to the surface of the water. As soon as I was able to move around freely, I tried to open my eyes. It was difficult but I forced my eyes to open. My vision was not clear, I could vaguely distinguish shapes and colors. There were several human forms dressed in medical clothes. Next to me, lying on what appeared to be a bed, was a reclining woman.
So that's what I thought. I have just been born, or rather reborn. Even though I expected it, it still comes as a shock.
As I was lost in my thoughts, I felt that I was suffocating. I instinctively inhaled for air. Since it was the first time that my lungs swelled, it was really painful.
I don't know if it's because I'm in a baby's body but instinctively I started to cry.
(General POV)
As the baby cried in the doctor's arms, he didn't know it saved him the traditional slap in the ass
" It's a boy ! And I'm happy to report that he looks very healthy! " The doctor said happily to the woman lying on the hospital bed.
The woman in question looked happy. She had black hair and eyes. Her face didn't look particularly pretty or particularly ugly. She looked very tired but you could see relief and immense happiness deep in her eyes when she heard that her child was okay.
"Can I carry him?" She said stretching out her arms to her baby.
As the doctor placed the baby in his mother's arms he seemed to calm down and observe her intently. He started reaching out to his mother's face making baby noises.
Watching the scene in front of him, the doctor motioned for the remains of the medical staff to let the mother-son couple rest.
As they were alone in the room, the mother began to speak.
" You are so cute. You look so much like your father. If you were a girl your name would have been erza and if you were a boy it would have been Hayato. "
She then said with a big smile.
"I welcome you to our world Hayato. "
(POV Hayato)
I saw the group of doctors leave the room and leave me alone with my new mother. Then I heard her talk to me.
" You are so cute. You look so much like your father. If you were a girl your name would have been erza and if you were a boy it would have been Hayato. "
Hmm, Hayato?
It doesn't sound so bad to me. At least that sounds good. Well I guess that's gonna be my new name in this life. Also, I haven't seen my dad yet but she tells me that I look a lot like him. It looks like he's dead or something.
Then I heard my mother say something that petrified me on the spot.
"I welcome you to our world Hayato. "
My heart started to beat faster. And sweat started to trickle down my back. My brain immediately began to think full speed ahead as to whether she had noticed anything that might tell her that I am not a normal baby, or even that I have an adult consciousness in a child's body. child.
I quickly began to analyze her facial expression.
Nothing that is out of the ordinary, she has a simple warm smile that a mother would have looking at her child. Not something like a smirk that hinted that she had discovered something.
With my right ear resting on her chest, I listened to her heartbeat.
84bpm. Fairly normal although a little high. This can be explained by her very recent childbirth, but not enough to confirm what I want to know.
So I try one last option.
"Areuu! Areuu! "
I tried to act like a cute kid by making baby noises to see her reaction.
I saw her laugh at my actions and starting playing with my hands that I was waving in front of her face.
I'v sighed in relief.
Well it seems that I thought too much and that it was just a sentence said at random.
What an idea to say that to a child who has just been born.
In short, at least for the moment no danger on the horizon. First I'm going to have to find out what situation I'm in while still acting like a kid of my age.
I will show a little more intelligence than average but not too much. After all I just want to be seen as a smart kid not an adult in a child's body.
But well, I will still have to stay on my guard, after all I'm not immune to all of my mother's reactions being simulated. Although I am confident that even if it did I could have detected it. But we never know. I could have been reborn in a family like the one in my old life.
Caution above all.
