“Here” Cathie handed David’s toy to him “let’s go, we are the only one left.”
“Thanks, Mommy” Three years old David said.
Stella had given birth to a baby girl, Herrick came in earlier and gave the news. Then he left with Gabriella. Mrs. Rose left too. She had to stay behind because David was sleeping and now that he is awake she’s ready to go.
“Where are we going, Mommy” “he asked
“Your Aunt gave birth today, we are going to her place.”
“But her belly was still big when I saw her this morning”. he said confused
Cathie smiled down at her son with patient “Yes, she gave birth this afternoon while you were sleeping?
“Oh”
When they reached the house, Herrick, Josh and Gabriella were down stairs at the porch. She and David went straight inside to their bedroom.
Stella was laying on their bed but she was not sleeping, her mother was sitting beside her. The baby was sleeping, in a baby cot nearby.
“Very pretty.” Cathie said staring down at the baby, then at Stella. “Am so happy for you.”
“Thanks” she smiled
“She’s so tiny,” They turned to looked at David who was staring with awe at the baby “and so white.”
Stella chuckled
David put his small finger on her lips and the sleeping baby flicked her tongue out and licked his finger. He jacked his hand back.
“Don’t do that again.” Cathie said with warning
“Yes, Mommy? David said smiling up at her, she smiled back.
“Angela.” David said.
And the name stocked, forever.
