Chapter 1: A new life ?
A flickering light, a white light that disturbing my sleep, i'm trying to open my eyes but it's harder than i used to be, after several try i manage to open my sleepy eyes, i see a white ceiling with a very bright white light shining directly to my eyes
"so that's why i felt disturbed, who the fuck waking someone with such a bright light ? but… wait a moment… I have never seen this ceiling before. Where am I ?"
After a few moment my eyes adjusted to the brightness, i manage to see around and found out i was reborn as a baby, the white ceiling is the hospital ceiling and i'm being carried by the nurse, she's wearing a mask so i can't really see her face but i realized that she cleaning my body with some kind of wet towel and then she give me to a young woman presumably my own mother ?
Then I hear the nurse saying "Congratulations Ma'am,you gave birth to a healthy twin, a boy and a girl."
Then I felt that the nurse carried me to my mother. She's carrying me in her right arms while her left arms are carrying my twin. I'm observing her face and I think she's very familiar… wait… is she Claire Dunphy ? from modern family ? So who's my twin ? Haley ? or Alex ? whatever.. I'll sleep first.. My body is just too weak and too sleepy to think about this right now.
I don't know how long I was sleeping for , but I woke up in someone's arms.. Is he my father ? a young Phil ?
" Harry, can you say grandpa ? come on say grandpa " OMG is he jay ? or frank ? Why do they look so young ?
And then I hear someone saying "Haley , can you say grandma ? come on cutie" aahh, turns out i'm haley twin brother well i never really watch modern family, i only remember watching a few episodes with my friend in university during break, but i don't even remember how i lost my previous life, how am i dying ? and why am I reborn here ?
I don't remember Haley having a twin brother and the only male child in the family is luke… so did everything change ? sigh… did i have a cheat ? Most transmigrators or reincarnator have a cheat, right ? and to be aware as a baby is… humiliating and to think i got breastfeed by Claire…. You know what ? i'll just close my eyes and do it, after all my body is hungry and i hope this time past quickly
Claire pov
I prepare a lot for my kids, yes having a twin is a surprise, well the pregnancy also a surprise but i am determined to learn a lot about motherhood and how to take care of my babies and then… after a difficult childbirth i notice that my kids are different.. Haley is like a normal baby that immediately cries while Harry for some reason is very quiet, he only makes noise if he's hungry or if his diaper is full, is he a genius ? Everyone I talk to says so..
He is a very low maintenance baby, never really seems like a baby.. More like an adult.. Or is it just me ? well i only hope both of them grow up healthy and happy, it's not really realistic to push them so much when they are still a baby.
General pov
After a few days in the hospital, Claire and Phil finally go back to their home.
Haley and Harry are behaving very very differently and that makes Claire a bit suspicious because Haley makes them stressed by how much she's crying and requires their attention, while Harry just makes some noise while he's hungry or when the diaper is full, and Harry also sleeps so much… but when Claire brings them to the Pediatrician for the regular check ups everything is normal.
Well as normal as it can be… because for some reason Harry is growing faster than Haley, he is literally bigger and Claire just think its because Harry is a male and Haley is female so she is a bit smaller

"I think I was just reborn here as an extra character… but I was wrong… i do have cheats yeah my reincarnation is not for nothing, i got an idle system that give me point just by living for now it gives me 1 point every second, and for 1000 idle point i can increase my basic status like strength , agility, vitality, intelligence, wisdom, charms, luck, dexterity, and even charisma by 1 point ."
For an average human their status is usually 1000 for everything, and I don't know why, but my status is very low. Is it because I'm still a baby ? or because I'm not lucky enough ? and then i can also use the idle point for gacha, like for a talent or other random things, according to the system, it cost differently for every level, like for 1 level it cost 10k per gacha and i only have 1% chance to get a talent, for level 2 its 100k idle point, and it continue like that until the max level gacha at level 5 its cost a whopping 100 million point or around 3 years, and it still only give me 1% chance for a talent… and if i wait for 10 draws it have guaranteed 20% chance for talent and 80% chance of memories and well i will need it cause every single entertainment in this world is different than my past world, so song, book, movie, game, is different and i can use it to my absolute advantage and of course i will use it, i will live an easy lives here
Well every 12 days i can make my stat reach 1000 or the average adult, so will do that first before focusing on other stuff, and maybe because i have the system, i don't got any talent from my birth, it doesn't really matter cause i have the system, maybe someday i'll ask the system about the talent classification, but for now, I'm sleepy and i need my baby sleep.
Time skips, 6 month later, General pov
"Mom i'm hungry" Harry said to claire
"Baa bii baa buuu" Haley blabs like the always
"Coming, coming, wait a moment dear, mommy is making your food now…" Claire shouting from the kitchen.
After a while Claire come upstairs to the twins room and give both Harry and Haley a milk from a bottle and put the baby food at the table near their cribs
"Drink this first before you ate darling" Claire said while giving Harry the bottle while she is carrying Haley and feed her milk from her bottle
"Thank you mommy" "Harry said while holding his own bottle and drinking it slowly while lay down on his bed, enjoying his milk
"Guah, baaa laaa huuuu haaa kaaa " Haley blabs again while rolling around in her crib and hitting the pillow around her, she is an active baby and she loves to move around in her own way.
Yeah.. at 6 months old Harry can speak and even hold his own bottle, he also looks like he's already a year or a year and a half old, but Claire and Phil are just happy that their child is growing healthily and happily, as for haley.. Well sometimes she can say mama or dada but for the most part she just babbling away, she is a very talkative baby, sometimes she wont stop babbling for over an hour before she gets tired and goes back to sleep, indeed a future gossip queen in the making.
After some time passes Claire starts to feed Haley before feeding Harry his food.
Harry pov
"Being a baby is a pain in the ass because I can't do anything other than eating, sleeping and pooping. Is this even a human life ? I felt like a pig getting fattened before slaughter".
Fortunately Claire and Phil, my mother and father are willing to talk to me when they are not busy. I even ask mom if i can watch tv ? I promised to behave and not go anywhere, but she said no because I love to crawl around the house and she's a bit traumatized when she thought she lost me in her own house.
After some persuasion and cute acts my mother finally gave me permission to watch the tv and then a new problem arose..
She wants me to watch those baby shows while I need to watch the news. I need the information especially in economics and politics and when my mother asked me why, i said that the basic information for everyone is economics and politics right ?
After that i need to know the current event and the history too, because that the easiest way to find common topics to talk to and its important to make a decision too, after all i can't really socialize with children and then in the end we compromise with nature and science documentary and for history related documentary i can watch it but only with mother, because for some reason she think my father is too free to censor some stuff, but i relent and let her do it, after all it's a nice bonding time for me and my mother.
Claire pov
"Alright, I know my son is extraordinary… but for him to ask me to watch economics and politics at 6 months olds ? That's too much even for me, and the compromise that we have, even though it's called compromise… I still don't get why he likes to watch it. Even I get sleepy when I watch those history documentaries with him.
Let's be honest, no normal kids like this stuff, and to think he is only 6 months old ? that is even more unbelievable… my father on the other hand ? love him so much, when Harry ask my father about war in the nam or about world war 1 or world war 2, my father seems like he found a new best friend, He even bought harry a book about world war 1 and world war 2, and when i thought Harry would hate it because i never taught him how to read, he once again surprise me because he can read it… I guess this is one of those moments when I realize my son is a genius huh.
My son love for history especially in war, politics and economics is a bit too much even for me, personally I got bored watching it but i just treat it as our bonding time cause he loves to be cuddled as we watch the tv, it's one of the rare moments where he behaves like a baby…
