The Coming of My Baby Sister by Ruth ’Tilliams TTien Mother told us might expcct a baby soon, I felt no surge of excitment or anticipation, only bit terness, I ■vvas fourteen and the oldest the family. I thought this child would mean extra '.vorlc for me. I let myself believe that I \rouldn*t cs't ^is many clothes or have as much money to spend as I ^^anted. Harboring these thoughts, I beran to build up a barrier between me and the unborn baby. The ni^ht the baby came I stayed \ith my aunt. School finally dragged by next day and I ’./as on my way home. Getting off the bus at the home of one of my relatives, I was told I had a little sister. Now that she \/as here, in Spite of my built-up antagonism, I sensed a wee bit of.' joy. At least the sister part was pleasing, 'i^en we arrived home, everybody was hurrying and bustling about doing things for the baby. My younger sisters were very excited; all they wanted to do was look at her. I too wanted to take a peep but ^/ouldn*t yield to the desire. Battling within me >vas grudge and selfishness with motherly love. VHien all of the relatives had gone. Mother told me to get the baby’s bottle. Carrying it to the bed, I saw peeking out from under the covers tvio bright eyea Here vcis a very tiny bun dle and yet so pretty. All of the ill v;ill seemed to melt away like ice. ’.'/hen I looked' at her, all the motherly instinct \/ithin me began to assert itself, I w'anted to love and care for her ^ Now anything this four- year-old lady asks isn't :^oo tiip a demand for me.
