S31 196. Special Gift

Before Barbara had time to speak, Emily raised her index finger like a student wanting to ask permission from the teacher.

“Auntie, can you give me a little sister? I promise I won’t cry if it turns. out your child is also a boy. But, can you try? Maybe there are rules to planting baby sisters. How deep should they be put or how much should they be watered? Like Grandma Susan planting plants in the greenhouse.”

Barbara nodded slightly. “Yes, Mom. Soon, there will be another

person who calls you Grandma and calls me Mommy.”

Melanie got up from her chair. She circled halfway around the table, stopping at Barbara’s side, hugging her. “Congratulations, My Daughter. You will finally become a mother. Be healthy, okay?”

Barbara patted Melanie’s arm with her eyes closed. “Thank you, Mom. Later, please teach me how to be a mother.”
