A Second Childhood/page1

A second childhood: starting over
I rested in the hospital ICU bed. THe scanners 24/7 on me. I heard the doctors say they don't expect me to make it through to the end of the week and today is barely Wednesday. Everyone was talking about me behind my back to my husband. But I heard most of it. I heard the nurses talking.

Maybe I should explain. See when I was 4 years old my parents took me to a planet far away. I was bitten by a bug. I wasn't sick than unfornately it took time time I didn't have to start dying. It was more when I turned to adulthood that the bite started slowly killing me. I married and lived a while but now its the end.

My husband walked over. His the tall dark handsome type. I, on the other hand, am short blonde and plain looking. How we got together, don't ask me. Kinda weird combo.

"I got news."

"That I'm dying."

"No good news. Were going to rejuve you."

"I thought it was impossible. I thought rejuving me wouldn't take away the problem."

"It wouldn't if you rejuve to a age older than when you were bitten."

"But that means I'll be three years old. NO way whatsoever will I do that."

"I'm not going to let you die."

"But."

"I'm not going to let you die. Besides being a three year old Medicalos isn't bad. You have a chance at a second childhood. To do the things you didn't do when you were a kidern."

His right my first childhood was not a fun one. My parents were explorers. They weren't in starfleet but they did there own exploring of the galaxy. They had me on a planet where parenting lincences were not requirements. So Nannies and caretakers were the only ones who took care of me. Thats also what's killing me today. There need for exploration and the lack of cure.

I went into uncounsiousness or maybe I died, not really sure, and when I woke up I am a three year old baby.

There are some good things about this the only 3 year old are Pennies sometimes voluntaras I even heard of a 3 year old Innocentata but even that is rarer than a I but really really rarely underline rarely a 3 year old Medicalos.

Mostly cause the system can sentence a Penny to 3 years although its rarer that there innocent cause sentences of 3 years old is of violent crime nature. A voluntaras chooses to be that young. But A M inless its a kidern Medicalos its rare to need to rejuve that much for health reasons. Thats 4 rejuves.

My hubbie came over. I guess I should start calling him dad. I hope. "Hey Baby. How are you feeling"

"better me sleepy."

"Its ok to go to sleep."

"Sing to me."

"You spend all your time waiting for that second chance. For a break that will make it ok. There's always some reason to feel not good enough. And its hard at the end of the day. I need some distraction oh beautiful release memories seep through my veins. Oh sweet maddness oh glorious saddness brings me to my knees. In the arms of the angel Far away from here in this dark cold hotel room and the endless you fear you were brought from a reckage of your silent reverie. Your in the arms of the angel may you find some confort here." By that point I feel asleep. I never could stay awake through the ending of him singing angel.

I woke up in my new room. It was the room we made for our adoptive kids. See the illness not only was killing me but it made me fertile. I couldn't have kids even if I wanted to. We have a adoptive license instead of parenting licence. The adoptive licence takes more work actually to get it. Mostly cause adopting the kids means either there parents are dead abusive or rejuved and it affects them emotionally. Well this is our room for those kidern. Our last kidern is in college.

Although it looks a bit bigger than it used to be. Or maybe I'm just a bit smaller. Alright I'm a lot smaller. And the world is a lot bigger to a 3 year old than a 40 year old.

I slipped out of bed and went to the restroom just realizing that i was in a diaper. I guess that was cause I was to young so I just changed out of it and gone to the restroom.

Dad I think walked in a few secs later. "Hey baby. I see you changed."

"I no need a diaper."

"Its just in case. We don't want wet sheet do we."

"I guess not."

"Good girl. Now breakfest time."

"Not hungry."

"Come on I know you didn't eat breakfest as a adult but now that your younger you need it more." Dad picked me up and took me to the kitchen.

He sat me on the high chair which I tried to resist. "No you don't. Your just going to have to accept your to young to do what you used to do."

"But daddy."

He actually smiled at that. "Just accept it young lady. Remember your now young enough to be taken over my knee."

I settled down and let him feed me. He feed me my fav. food which is great. Than daddy took me to the living room sat me on the floor putting some toys on the floor for me to play with and turned on the holovision. I started having fun with the toys. If I have to be a kid might as well enjoy it.
