Amy looked at the tiny infant in Em's arms. She was home now and already in jeans and a tee shirt. It was like nothing had ever happened, but here was the bundle of joy that everyone spoke of.
Amy smiled so much that she was almost in tears. Almost. Maybe she was giddy. She didn't know, but Em handed over the sleeping babe. Of course, Amy was sitting next to Em and Eli was squashed on the couch next to Amy.
Amy felt a little lightheaded. It was such a strange feeling. "I wish mom was having a girl." She said so quickly.
"You'll get used to having a brother," Em smiled and looked to Eli. "After all, you have him to help you."
Eli choked on a laugh. Suddenly, Amy felt like she was passing the potato. "Here, you take her." Amy handed the baby to him.
"I don't know what to do," Eli squawked. The infant flinched slightly, but it was in his arms now.
"We'll have to learn how to..you know-"
"Babysit?" Em's smile was open. "Sure, I'll teach you everything you need to know."
Eli gave Amy the eye. "He knows nothing about babies." Amy scowled.
"Well, neither you do." Eli's brow furrowed.
"Maybe, it's too soon." Em took the baby back as if they'd had enough. She got up with the baby and went to check on her diaper.
"Hey, wait a minute..what's she saying?" Eli looked at Amy as if this was all her fault.
"We're never having a baby," she informed him. "Got that!"
Eli nodded. "I'm glad we're on the same page about this."

ReplyDeleteHaving or not having children really does need to be discussed ahead of time, and it's important for people to agree on that....even though down the road feelings might change. And no one gets a manual, you learn as you go.

A baby has to be wanted by both parents, I know stories where this didn't happen and it was the child who suffered!
ReplyDeleteThen children aren't born with an instruction manual, we have to learn, but now there are books on everything, I think motherhood is also intuition and instinct!
Ooh, Em's baby is here! I found this part very uplifting:
ReplyDelete"It was like nothing had ever happened, but here was the bundle of joy that everyone spoke of."
Eli and Amy's decision not to have kids was an interesting twist. Of course, I said that once upon a time too, and here I am almost ready to pop! 👶💗👶💗
