a time when I wasn’t asking my parents for a baby brother or sister. They refused to reason with me, so I took matters into my own hands. The upcoming Christmas I asked Santa Claus to bring me a younger sibling and he carefully considered my request. On Christmas day I was very disappointed when there was no bassinet with a baby under the Christmas tree. But little did I know Santa had in fact delivered my gift. At the beginning of February, I caught my parents whispering in the kitchen. I heard…

to America. When we got back on January 6th, 2027 I immediately got an appointment with my doctor to figure out how far along I was in the pregnancy. Doctor Cullen said that I was about a week and half long in my pregnancy. Then he gave me a list of food and excises to do and eat so that the baby would grow healthy. So after the appointment I went home and told Toby about what the doctor had said and he was so happy to know that he would be a father and right away he had me call my parents to…
