The New Baby
For 12 wonderful years, Cara had enjoyed her position as the youngest of five children, the baby of the family. But for the past nine months Cara had felt her special place slipping away as the family prepared for her oldest sister to give birth. Now, Cara’s parents would become grandparents and there would be a new baby to fawn over, which had not happened since Cara was born. Cara worried that her mother would forget about her and spend all her time with the new baby. She was less than thrilled as she rode the elevator to the hospital’s ninth floor.
The room was so full of family members and flower bouquets that Cara had trouble seeing the hospital bed. Angela, Cara’s sister, sat propped up by pillows. She cradled a squirming pink bundle in the crook of one arm. She grinned when she saw Cara and her parents and turned the pink bundle towards them. Only the baby’s face was visible. Her hands punched out under the swaddling.
Cara’s mother was the first to hold the baby. She smiled and cooed at the baby. Then the baby was being passed to Cara, and she was face-to-face with her new niece. The baby squirmed a bit and then opened her eyes and looked right at Cara. The baby cooed at Cara, and Cara smiled at her niece, thinking that becoming an aunt might be wonderful after all.
