The Night You Were Born
Summary: a short story about the night when a little miracle came into the world. Of when a new addition to the Sarentu was born to one of the most loving members, Kataru, and made her only daughter a new big sister, Aha’ri.
A/n: nothing, just fluff, and the emotional pain your gonna feel when reading this, and the use of my sarentu character
It was a late not so quiet night, many of the Sarentu clan was sleeping but most of them were awake, and a bright light emerged from a hut where a new life was being born.
Kataru, the kindest woman of the clan was blessed with her second child many months ago, and now they are ready to enter into this world.
While everything was happening inside, outside was a little 2-3 year old toddler waiting. She were only a few moments away from being a big sister, she wanted to take a peak inside but the adults that were still awake and nearby would stop her.
She looked down at the ground and pushed around the dirt to keep herself occupied. She wonders what the new baby was gonna be like, and how good of a older sibling she’ll be.
Then screaming was heard from inside the tent, the young toddler went to peak inside but an adult stopped her as usual “you have to wait out here for a little longer, your mother will be fine little one” they said.
More screaming was heard and the toddler looked worried but trusted that she would ok, her mother was very strong.
The screaming continued on until a cry was heard, a baby cry. The toddler perked up, her new sibling was finally born.
From inside they already began to give the mark to the newborn, of course they calmed them down already and put a special ointment so the baby wouldn’t feel the pain.
This was a tradition for the clan, every new birth they would mark the child with the mark that has been in their clan for generations.
They were finished and handed the baby to the mother and she looked down at her child with joy. So small and precious “welcome to the world my little one”.
Then the little toddler from outside peaked in and this time no one stopped, her mother noticed and smiled “come meet your new sister”. The little one smiled and walked over to her mother, Kataru helped her get comfortable in her lap.
“Aha’ri, this is your new baby sister” she said clammy looking over at the half asleep baby in her arm. “What’s her name mama?” Aha’ri asked.
“Suränu” Kataru replied softly, Aha’ri reached out her arm and gently touched her baby sister small hand “hello Suränu, I’m your big sister, Aha’ri”.
The little baby moved it’s hand a little but managed to gently touch one of Aha’ri’s fingers which made the toddler smile.
Kataru smiled down at her two children and held them close, she knew Aha’ri would protect her baby sister from anything and that Suränu would grow up to be a strong woman probably almost as strong as her.
The rest of the night was clam and quite, the small family fell asleep soon after in the warm embrace of each other. Nothing would ever tear them apart.
