Little Sisters

Ryan lived with her father and mother in Menlo Park, California. Behind their sunny little house was a grassy, green backyard. The sky there was always blue with puffy white clouds. Ryan was about three years old, with brown, short hair and big, blue curious eyes.

“We have a new member of the family!” her parents exclaimed simultaneously. “Doggy?” Ryan inquired. “No,” said her mom joyfully, “a brand new baby sister!”
Ryan sat in shock, her big eyes wide with rage. She knew what “sister” meant, and she didn’t like the sound of that AT ALL. Ryan wasn’t even trying to listen any more. She knew this “sister” would ruin her life and steal all the attention.

As her parents brought the baby out Ryan shielded her eyes because she couldn’t bear to see the little thing. When Ryan uncovered them she realized that the baby was really fat and really red, it was also screaming. She thought about how she was the only one who usually screamed. The baby looked up longingly at Ryan, it put its hand towards her face. Ryan screamed at her parents to take the baby back where it came from, and then she slapped it. Her mother got very upset, but Ryan just stared at the wrinkly little thing with her best stink eye as her mom scolded her. Ryan didn’t really understand her mom’s reply but all she knew was that she would have to get rid of this

    They didn’t know what to do when they found out that she was pregnant; they were young, they didn’t have any money, they were scared, they didn’t want to tell anybody, they didn’t know what to do, and the only option that they could see was to terminate the pregnancy. So that’s what they decided to do… they went to a clinic, they had the procedure done, and at first they felt relieved that all their problems had gone away. But then something happened that they did not expect… and that’s over the next few weeks, which turned into a few months, they began to feel an intense sadness… and a pain and an agony and a guilt that wouldn’t go away. They didn’t know what to do, so they finally went to see a counselor; they said look — tell us what to do, we just don’t know, and the counselor made a suggestion. The counselor said here’s what you need to do — stop acting like you had a procedure, and act like you had a death in the family.”
