The Little Sister

Mike's Point of View

I was sitting in the hospital waiting room holding Sam against my chest. "It's okay buddy Mommy's gonna be okay." I said to him. He was asleep but it made me feel better to talk to him. "Mike! Is Karen okay?" my mom and Mama Perry came running into the hospital waiting room. I shrugged "I don't know yet." I answered them "What did Karen do this time?" Mama Perry asked sitting down on my left my mom sat down on my right. "She came home crying and went to bed so I went up to make sure she didn't do anything stupid. At like 3 in the morning I heard her crying again, she was sitting by the stairs chugging a bottle of vodka and she fell down the stairs." I answered her. "Wasn't she pregnant?" my mom's face fell when she asked already knowing the answer to her own question. I nodded, "She's gonna be okay." I tried to reassure my mom. Sam squirmed against my chest and I put him back into his car seat baby carrier thingy and wrapped him up in his blanket.

After what seemed like days a doctor walked over to us. "Mr. Fuentes, if I could talk to you in the other room?" I nodded and reached down for Sam "Go ahead baby we'll watch him." my mom said patting my butt. I rolled my eyes. I'm 28 and my mom still does that. "I'll be back buddy." I said to Sam before following the doctor into the hall way where Karen's room was.

"Is she going to be okay doctor?" I asked as we stood outside her room. "Your wife suffered a slight concussion when she fell down the stairs along with a small cut on her upper forehead near her hairline." "What about the baby?" I asked him quickly. "Since your wife was drunk when she fell down the stairs the baby didn't make it." "If she wasn't drunk would the baby have been okay?" the doctor shook his head "Since she wasn't very far along the baby still wouldn't have made it." I nodded "Thank you sir, can I go in and talk to her?" he nodded "Go ahead."

"Hey Karen." I said plainly. "You're mad aren't you?" I nodded "Little bit." Karen sighed "Mike-" "What happened to it doesn't matter who the father is we'll love the baby no matter what? I thought we agreed to that Karen." I felt my blood starting to boil. "That's when I thought the baby might be yours Mike, I want the baby to be yours but it wasn't." "So you get drunk in an attempt to do an at home abortion?!" I was really starting to get angry at this point "Mike, please I-" "No Karen. You were being selfish. I got NO say in what happened to that baby. I love being a dad, I didn't care that baby wasn't half me half you like Sam, I was going to love it as much as I love the both of you guys." Karen didn't say anything, I saw tears welling up in her eyes. "Karen I love you, but I can't look at you right now. I'm leaving with my son." "MIKE!" she yelled after me as I walked out of the hospital room and back into the waiting room. My mom was smiling down at Sam making him laugh and flap his arms up and down. "Thanks for watching him." I smiled at the ladies. "It's fine baby, how's Karen?" "You can go ask her yourselves. I'm leaving." I picked up Sam's carrier and left the hospital. I heard my mom and Mama Perry yelling after me but I ignored them and put Sam in the car before getting in on the driver's side.

Sam was asleep in the car and I was sitting on the hood with a sweater on. I just need to think for a little while.
