His Fated Luna

She stared down at her daughter who laid asleep in her arms, rapidly blinking several times, trying to make the tears go away before placing a kiss on the frail child’s forehead.

“I have some news regarding your daughter, Mrs. Hershel.” He approached her as he peeled the gloves off his fingers.

“A group of doctors at this hospital and another partner hospital have run a ton of tests on your daughter and we still can’t figure out what’s wrong with her well-being.” The doctor said.

“Isn’t there some other way to find out what's wrong?” She cried.

He shook his head as he sighed. “No, I’m afraid you have to let her go. There’s a zero chance of saving her now. She only has a few days left, and that’s also by a stroke of luck.”

Her heart felt as though it had been ripped out and repeatedly stomped on and the more she tried to hold in the tears, the more her eyes burned, brimming with tears.

“Let my child go?” She thought.

The doctor quietly slipped away and exited the room.

“Let my first child go? And only a few days?” She kept thinking as her heart raced, beating twice as fast.

She squeezed her only daughter in a tight hug, in the comfort of her arms and kissed her forehead as tears rolled down her face.

The door of the hospital room creaked open. She looked up and it took her a few seconds to see clearly that it was the most famous pediatrician, Eugene Crispin, who was standing in front of her.

Doctor Crispin approached her quietly.

“Doctor Crispin." She whispered as she grabbed his arm. "Doctor Crispin! Please help me!” She placed the baby in his able arms.

“She must be the one.” Doctor Crispin thought to himself.

“Please help me...please. I’ll do anything, I'll do anything! I can give you all of my money. I can give you my house. I can do anything, just help my daughter! I don’t mind owing you, but please help me.” She pleaded profusely.

“I'll tell you what, we’ll take her with me, inform the hospital about the transfer to mine and let’s get to it and I'll see what I can do about this because I think I know the problem here.” Doctor Crispin said calmly and her eyes widened at the newly found hope as she nodded vigorously.

"Please remember to hand in your records to the nurse at the front desk under my name." He instructed.

“I’ll get it done immediately.” She rushed as he handed the child over to her.

“Alright.” He cradled the baby in his arms ready for the examination.

Tears began to form again as she felt grateful. "What can I do for you in return?" She asked.

He thought about it for a second before leaning in as he whispered into her ears.

She swiftly agreed, because at that very moment, all she cared about was saving her daughter. Her one and only daughter.

There’s no other way of saving her. He was the best doctor and her life meant everything to me.

She’d handed her daughter over and he grasped onto her gently in his arms. He exited the room before she could say any more.

“Honey, everything's going to be alright.” Her husband whispered, walking into the room. He stood in front of her weak figure before pulling her into a comforting hug. She nodded as the tears started to pour down.

It took a few hours before Doctor Crispin returned into the room with Domino in his arms.

He walked in and closed the door behind him.

“Ok, I have the results and I think I know what the problem is, but I can’t tell you.” Doctor Crispin whispered and before glancing over his shoulder.

“Are you the baby’s birth mother?” He referred to Kyra.

“No. I’m not her biological mum.”

“She was adopted?”

“Something like that, but I’m her mum. Her birth mother passed almost immediately after her delivery. I’m her mum nonetheless.”

“What I can tell you is that you gave birth to a special baby... She is different from everyone else. She is not stable, yet-”

“What do you mean 'not stable yet'?” Her husband, Alan asked, confusion evident on his features.

“She has powers that not everybody in the world has. From this day on, she is different, she wields great substance. She will need time to control her power. Right now, she is not stable because her power is controlling her instead.” He said, worsening Alan’s confusion.

“To make sure that in the future this doesn't happen again, she's going to have to take this.” He handed Kyra a small vial which she studied carefully.

“W-”

“Trust me, it will help.” Doctor Crispin assured, interrupting poor Alan.

“What do you mean by power? This doesn't make any sense!” Alan was getting frustrated.

“This doesn't need to make any sense to you, but remember the deal." Eugene said and Kyra looked at him in disbelief.

“Should I have trusted this doctor? Is he really the best pediatrician possible?” She thought.

“Administer the content in the vial to her and I’ll be back for a follow up in an hour. Don’t leave.” He instructed.

"I’ve got to go. I have another patient waiting for me. And like I said earlier, I can’t say much about it.” Doctor Crispin said before exiting the ward, leaving them with the vial.

She looked down at Domino who wiggled in her arms, a bit fussy.

“Do you understand anything he said?” Alan stared down at his wife.

“I guess…”

“Then let me in on it.”

“When Laila handed her over, she said something about her being extraordinary and told me to make sure she’s protected from the wrong group or something like that…”

“I’m not even going to lie darling, I’m even more confused by the explanations. One more and my head might explode.” Alan sighed in defeat.

“You’d be okay darling.” She sighed before placing a light kiss on his forehead. Taking a huge breath as she popped the vial open before holding it to Domino’s lips hesitantly.

“We’re making the best decision.” He assured his wife who took a deep breath before making a hand movement, letting the purple liquid trickle into her slightly open mouth.
