Chapter 3 - The Lazy Mother

(In Heaven – The Baby's Choice)

Baby's POV

Baby: "What are you saying, old man?! The choice is mine!" 😱 I said

(God folded His hands and nodded.)

God: "Yes, you're right. But listen to me, my cute baby. There are two things you should know. First, you'd better not call me 'old man,' okay?" 😑 Old man said

(The baby pouted, trying to understand what He was saying.)

God: "And second… yes, you have the choice to choose your mom." 😇 Old man said

Baby: "And why is that, ol— I mean, Mr. God?" 🤨 I ask him

---

God's POV

(Sigh) Ooh, this baby… I have to stay calm… right? 😦 I thought

(God rubbed His forehead and sighed.)

God: "Well, I can't tell you right now… but you'll know soon, okay? So, we better start the observation." 🙄 I said

(God smiled and ignored the baby's protests.)

Baby: "What are you doing?" 😯 Baby ask

(The baby asked, confused, watching God closely.)

God: "Well, I'm going to show you your mother, so stop talking and watch, okay?" 😅 I said

(God started making circles in the air.)

Baby: "But how— oooowwww!!!!!!!" 😱

(The baby was amazed by the view, too shocked to speak.)

(God created a fog in front of them, did a little magic, and soon, they could see the house of the baby's mother—or rather, the girl God had chosen.)

Baby's POV

Baby: "What is this? Such a small house… What is my mother doing in such a tiny place??" 😯 I said

(The baby frowned and pouted.)

God: "Let's see… We can watch what she's doing. And yes, this is definitely where your mother lives." 😇 Old man said

(But the house is so small… I don't like it. You can find another mother for me…) 😑

(I thought to myself, feeling disappointed.)

(God did something with His fingers, and now they could see inside the bedroom.)

(Ooh! Now I'm going to see my mother! I'm so excited!) 🤗

(I was filled with happiness.)

(But then… I saw a girl sleeping on the bed, her face completely covered by a blanket.)

Baby: "What?! She's sleeping?! Hey! Hey! Wake up! Are you my mom? Wake up! Look! I'm here!!! HEY!!!" 🤗

(I tried to wake her up, but she didn't move. Not even a little. Is she deaf or what? She didn't even flinch at my shouting!)

God: "Baby, she can't hear you. At all." 😇

(God said with a smile.)

Baby: "Oh… but why?" 😲I ask

(Thank God she's not deaf.) I thought

God: "We're just watching her from here. But while she's sleeping, let me tell you something about her, okay?" 😇 Old man said

Baby: "Ooh! Tell me! Tell me!" 😁 I said

(I was so excited to hear about my mother's story. Maybe she's the smartest and richest woman like I hoped! Or maybe she's very beautiful and cute like me… Hehehe.)

(God played with His fingers, did some magic again, and then spoke.)

God: "Look there! Her name is Y/N. She's 20 years old, a caring person who always helps others and animals. She's innocent and… umm… she's also… lazy." 🙄

(God said as I rolled my eyes.)

(Well, I can see that.) 😒

God: "She's an orphan." 😌 Old man said

(God smiled sadly.)

Baby: "Orphan? What's that, old—Mr. God?" 🤔 I aks

God: "Well, let's just say… she's my child." 😇

(God said happily. I was shocked.)

Baby: "Really? But how?" 😯

(I asked, looking at God.)

God: "Yes, dear. Her parents were my friends." 😇

(God said with a genuine smile.)

Baby: "Oh… okay!" 😀I said

(I nodded.)

(Suddenly, a loud noise came from my mother's side.)

Baby: "What is that?!!" 😱 I ask

(I shouted.)

God: "That's a gadget humans use to talk to each other. They call it a cellphone or mobile… something like that." 😇

(God explained.)

(My mom fumbled around, trying to find the thing. Finally, she grabbed it.)

Y/N: "Hello… hmm… yes… WAIT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M LATE AGAIN?!" 😱 My- I mean the girl was too loud

(She screamed and sat up, her face now visible.)

Baby: "STOP IIIIITTTT!!!!" 😣

(I screamed, covering my ears.)

God: "Okay…" 😦 I hear

(God stopped the magic.)

Baby: "I don't want her to be my mother." 😑

(I said firmly.)

God: "WHAT?! But why?" 🤨 Old man ask

(God folded His arms.)

Baby: "Just look at her!" 😰

(I pointed towards the girl.)

"Her hair is messy, and sh—"

(I was about to continue, but—)

God: "You can't say that! She's cute, you know!" 🤔old man said

(God sighed.)

Baby: "Cute?! Look at her, then look at me! Do you think I look like her?" 🤔 I ask

(I laughed a little.)

God: "A lot, actually…" 🙄 old man said

(God muttered, but I didn't hear.)

Baby: "What are you saying? No way! She's too lazy. I want a beautiful actress to be my mother!" 🙄

(I said proudly.)

God: "Oh, look, Baby… I just gave you some old memories and a little bit of my power so you can talk, but that doesn't mean you can speak like this! You're being rude!" 🤨

(God's voice rose slightly, and I got scared a little)

Baby: "Umm… I'm sorry, old man… but can you just find another lady to be my mother, please?" 😗 I ask

(I made a cute face, trying to look sweet so God would give in.)

God: "And what exactly do you want, then? Tell me." 😒 Old man ask me

Baby: "Umm… let me think… Someone rich, beautiful, and most importantly… not lazy like her!" 😘

(I said confidently.)

God: "Wait, Baby… I just want you to give her a chance, dear. Maybe you'll like her soon." 😇 Old man said

(God smiled proudly.)

Baby: "I—bu—umm… well… let's see…" 🙄I said

(I wanted to say no, but I couldn't refuse the old man directly. I'll watch her first, then I'll definitely say no… though.)

God: "Good. Okay, let's continue." 😇old man said

(God smiled and began doing some magic again so we could keep watching her.)

(Hehehe… I'll watch her for a little while, then I'll tell the old man I don't like her and make him find another mother for me. Perfect plan!)

(I smiled to myself, feeling proud of my genius idea.)

(God glanced at me, clearly noticing my expression, but said nothing.)

"Oowkk~" 😏 (I hummed, pretending to be innocent.)
