The New Expectation

THE NEW EXPECTATION.

It was Valentine's night, so my parents tucked me in bed and I was ready to go to sleep, but then the clapping began. I didn't know what it was, I just knew my parents did it for special actions and that was related to me, I was afraid.

The next day, I was expecting to have a brother because that was how I was made too, since I really wanted a brother, but not another on my birthday because that would mean to share and split presents; however, my birthday was in eight months, so there was a lot of time for a brother, just in case... it was what I was afraid of. 

Another clue was that I saw my mom throwing a pen like device in the bathroom, which makes me believe someone else was coming.

Who was the newcomer? Was it truth? Would I be able to

share my toys? What a nightmare! I didn't even know if it was a girl or my desired brother. 

Loved expectations are not always easy, but accepted by us. Welcome!
