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.”

Before the little girl’s shoulders slumped again, Barbara placed a hand on the side of her mouth. “Shhh, Emily…. Actually, I also hope that my child is a girl. How about we pray together? Who knows, God will grant it. But if it doesn’t come true, don’t be disappointed.”

Emily’s eyes lit up with hope. “Yeah! I won’t be disappointed, Auntie. Let’s pray together later.”

“Okay.” Barbara gave her thumbs up. Emily responded with her tiny thumb.

Soon, she will also give me a grandchild?”

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.”
