The first phase: 2. Conciousness

It seems like this is her second life; there is no way she is still alive.

But now, as she was reborn as a baby, Olga truly doesn't know how to react to this. It's like she just woke up from a terrible nightmare, except the nightmare that she went through is what actually happened.

She is dead, is the truth. But now that she is alive again, is also the truth.

If she has been given another chance, she should grab it.

One thing that made Olga linger was how she should behave to look like a normal infant. What a graceless situation that Olga has been put in.

While Olga was lost in her thought, her father came toward her again. It looks like the tsar has finished what he should have done and now paid his entire attention to the firstborn. Nicholas holds the infant in his arms.

- Baby\, Papa is here.

Nicholas wants to make her smile, or he wants to see some types of reaction on his daughter's chubby face; Olga suddenly feels tired; why am I doing this stuff? But she still has to, or her father might think that his daughter has problems. The baby then gives Nicholas a bright smile, just like him, and then gives him the loving stare from her sparking blue eyes.

Nicholas smiled happily. He said to her:

- Your mama is getting better now; she's still relatively tired\, but I think she needs to see you. Will you come with me?

Does he really expect an infant to nod her head?

Olga has no clue; she answers with an inaudible voice; this is her ''yes.''

But true, she does desperately want to see her mother, just as she missed her father. Alexandra and Olga might not have the best relationship, but she still loves the empress just as she loves the emperor.

So her father held the infant in his arm, walking through the palace with him, heading toward Alexandra's room. Olga had never seen the Alexander Palace from this perspective, which is fascinating. Everything never looks so big. Nicholas notices his daughter's curiosity; he gives her a deep kiss.

- Everything is provocative to you\, isn't it?

While they're having some small interactions, they are at her mama room. The nanny comes out and greets her father, giving her family their own space.

- Tsarina is inside; she is getting better gradually.

- That's good news to hear.

As she came in, she saw her mother lying on the bed. She is tired, but the glow is still visible on her face. No wonder she was called ''Sunny.''   As Alexandra sees Nicholas and her daughter coming toward, her smile gets even brighter.

- Nicky!

The Tsar embraces his wife, and then they share some sweet interactions. What a lovey-dovey couple, Olga, unexpectedly feels shy in the middle of her parent love? When Nicholas finally remembers that their daughter is here, he gives her to Alexandra.

- Sunny\, our baby is somewhat\, bigger the other?

- You're right.- Alexandra hugs the infant gratefully. - That's why I feel tired more than I should be.

Despite being tired, by the birth, Alexandra kissed her daughter. There is something strange; the empress has never felt something like this; this is her first time being a parent, just like her husband.  She feels the connection that only mother and daughter can have. At this moment, maybe Olga can feel it too; her emotions instantly hit her; she can see her mother and father's faces clearly, the infant burst out of tears, she could not hold it anymore. This is not a baby crying, but the 22 years old grand duchess's voices.

- Oh\, baby\, what's wrong? - Alexandra surprises; try to tempt her daughter down. She just never has to deal with this situation.

Olga is trying her best to stop her tears from running down. The anxiety that hunted her in the last phase of her life just struck through her memory, the helplessness when she saw her family die in front of her, she couldn't do anything to save them; the desperation that she hoped someone could save them. She can finally be in their parent arms.

As the emperor and the empress tried their best to stop the baby crying, or she might cry until she sleeps, Olga eventually stopped. She giggles with her parents and embraces her mother. Alexandra, slowly rubbing her back

- It seems like she is fine now. - Nicholas exhaled. - I was so scared.

- Hmm. Nicky. Do you have any idea for our daughter's name?

- I have. - The tsar touches his daughter's chubby cheeks. - How about\, Olga? She is a blessing to us\, at least for me.

The tsarina smile brightly, agree with the tsar decision.

- Welcome you\, baby Olga.
