The Earth was floating.

He couldn't feel anything, completely numb all over as he fell into the cold darkness. He tried looking around for anything familiar, anything that could give off that he was safe. Then he remembered his baby. He looks down at his flatter stomach, placing a hand on it, "No!" He whispers, shaking his head in horror, "No no no!!" He screamed.

Flailing his arms around as he searched the darkness, he cried out for his baby with sobs breaking his chest and tears blurring his eyes. His little baby, he had to be around here somewhere! But suddenly, a bright flash of light that was so intense it made him shield his face lit up through the darkness and soon he was surrounded by white.

He catches a figure standing before him, a woman with long white hair framing her face and a long white dress. She had a white banded crown around her forehead that shimmers in the light as she smiled softly to Seonghwa. The omega frowns, "Who... who are you?"

"Why I am the Moon Goddess my sweet child." Her voice was like silk and honey, absolutely soft and sweet to his ears. She approaches him slowly, holding out a hand for him to take. He gently takes it, fear and anxiety courses through his body. Her skin was even soft to the touch, much like whipped, creamy butter as her soft hand caressed Seonghwa's hollow cheek. She hums, "Your little one awaits for you."

"Where is he?" Seonghwa looks around the white room, "Where's my baby?"

She smiles, "Walk through that door, and you'll find him."

Seonghwa immediately turns around, catching sight of a wooden door and his heart began to race. Was this a dream? Was he actually dead and she was letting him live? Was his baby... He shakes his head and turns his head to thank her, but the Moon Goddess was gone. He frowns, the room was still white however from her angelic presence.

He doesn't hesitate to turn back to the door and slowly turn the knob, hearing it click as he pushes it open.

"He still hasn't woken up?"

"Not yet," a soft sigh was heard, "he hasn't mumbled anything about his baby for about an hour now... so maybe he's getting ready to?"

"You're the midwife Joong, is there anything you can give him to help?"

"Mingi I've done everything that I can do. At this point, it's up to him and the Moon Goddess." A deep growl of frustration followed by a single pound to the wall was enough for the light voice to snap, "Alpha, the children are napping and I swear if you wake up Han-"

"I'm sorry," the deeper voice sighed, it was quiet for a moment before he spoke again, "I just... I can't lose him Joong..."

"I know," the softer voice spoke, "You won't. I have a feeling he's going to pull through soon. Why don't you go get some dinner and I'll keep watch of him tonight. Check on the baby too, Wooyoung may be about done with feeding him."

No other words were exchanged as footsteps sounded to the door, and it closing softly behind the owner of the deeper voice. Seonghwa took a chance and decided to peek an eye open, but he immediately shuts it when bright light from the window before him blinded him. He groans softly, bringing the blanket around his shoulders over his head to shield the light some.

He heard a giggle, "Good evening." His heart races as his eyes open under the blankets, the light wasn't as bright there but he knew he would have to face whoever was speaking to him. He took a deep breath before lifting the blankets slightly and coming face to face with the sun. His eyes squint as he reveals his entire head, pain in his stomach caused him to moan slightly and frown, "Oh god."

"Careful," a hand gently placed itself on his shoulder, "You just had a baby, your body needs to rest."

Seonghwa's heart drops and his eyes widen, "My baby, where is he?"

"Your baby is okay," the voice gently spoke to him, "Relax, he is being cared for by one of our omegas."

"I want him, please," Seonghwa sobs, the pain becoming intense as he rolls on his back to finally face to owner of the soft voice, "Please bring him to me!"

"I will after I check on you," the smaller man said softly, holding a hand up to show he was no threat. Seonghwa felt a sudden sense of calmness and he instantly seemed to relax, however his wolf was on high alert and wanted it's pup now. The male, who Seonghwa sensed wasn't an Omega, spoke calmer, "You just had a baby and we didn't think you would make it. Take it easy, let me check to see how everything is looking, and I'll have the Omega watching your baby bring him in. Okay?"

Seonghwa felt as if he had no choice but to nod and agree with the male, allowing him to do a basic check up. He sobbed again from the pain when the male presses on his stomach, even though he explained why he was doing it. The male's name was Hongjoong, and he explained to Seonghwa that he was a wolf midwife/doctor. He is also a Beta, which surprised Seonghwa seeing as he's only ever heard of Betas he's never met one in person. Hongjoong is the one who everyone goes to for medicines, potions, every other concern. He studied with humans before, but after a year of being a doctor in the human hospitals he paid his tuition he owed in full and decided to use his practices for his pack.

After his check up, the male smiles and steps away to wash his hands in the bowl of water by the bed, "I'll go grab your baby. Judging by the quietness of the house, he must be asleep."

Seonghwa nods, "Thank you... Hongjoong?"

"Yes?"

"You... you won't hurt us, will you?"

Hongjoong's eyes softened with pity, and the male shakes his head, "No. We won't hurt you. No one here will ever hurt you."

Seonghwa felt a sense of relief from those words as the Beta leaves the room. This was the first time he was really alone after waking up and it gave him a chance to look around and study the room. The cream colored walls were clean with a few framed photos of children. There seemed to be three total, and Seonghwa could immediately tell one of them must be Hongjoong's. The child looked to be two or three, and he was an almost exact replica of the Beta except for the ears and chin.

The oldest looked to be six, a little girl with long curly black hair and dimples deep in her cheeks. Her eyes squinted shut happily as she smiled at the camera, her bright red dress made the green grass behind her pop. The other child looked to not even be a year old, with chubby cheeks and just from judging he looked as if he were the sibling to the little girl. They had similar features such as the dimples and eye shape.

The blankets on the bed were a light grey color with grey sheets and navy blue pillow cases. The bed felt nice against his body, after months of being used to sleeping on the ground and in caves the mattress was perfect for his aching body. It had been so long since he has had a roof over his head to shield him of the elements...

The door clicks open, and Seonghwa immediately looks up only to be relieved as soon as his eyes set on the bundle in Hongjoong's arms. The blanket was a bright blue, with tiny white bears all over the soft fabric. Tiny whines from the bundle made Seonghwa's wolf lurch forward, and the Beta froze at the door with large, wide eyes.

"I knew you were an Omega, but my god your eyes are a gorgeous gold," Hongjoong approaches hun slowly with his baby, patting his baby's back gently while he walked and swayed in place, "Here's your son, mama."

Seonghwa immediately holds out his arms and allows Hongjoong to place his baby in them. As soon as he set eyes on his baby, his eyes immediately water at the beautiful child he had grown. His son looked almost exactly like him, the only thing he could see that didn't belong to him was his son's ears. He was truly handsome, and didn't even look like a normal newborn. He looked as if he were a week old already.

"Since you were unconscious, we had no choice but to start him on some breast milk of Wooyoung's set back. I know the thought doesn't sound pleasing but we didn't have formula at the time yet we had bottles. He took them well, but I think he still preferred to have you," Hongjoong smiles softly, "We had some of you things surrounding him so that way he felt as if he were still near you, but it was like he can still tell it wasn't actually you."

His son coos softly while waving his fists by his face, his eyes open slightly. They never open all the way, only slightly before they close and he falls back asleep. Seonghwa's lip wobbles, his nose immediately buried itself into the small hat on his son's head.

"He has quite a bit of hair too," Hongjoong gestured to his hat, slowly backing towards the door, "I'll leave you alone with him. You two have some catching up to do after being separated for a day."

"Thank you," Seonghwa sobbed, not looking away from his baby as he brushes a finger down his son's soft cheek. After they were left alone, Seonghwa kisses his baby's forehead and sniffles softly, "I promise baby, I will do everything I can to make sure that we are never separated, and that you have everything you need."

And he will make sure his promise is kept.
