The Little Sister

Karen's Point of View

I was sitting downstairs on the floor of the living room doing some coloring with Sam. "That's beautiful Sammy." I smiled and he beamed up at me. "I knew you'd like coloring." Sam nodded and stood up "I still can't believe you came out of my vagina an entire year ago." Sam smiled and I took the paper from him and walked into the kitchen and put it on the fridge. "See now mommy and daddy can see it whenever they go in the kitchen." I smiled at him. I picked him up and walked upstairs and put him down in his crib for a nap. "Take a nap boo, you should be well rested for your party." Sam nodded and laid down in his crib and I handed him a giraffe plushie and he hugged it and ended up falling asleep relatively quickly.

I walked into me and Mike's bedroom. He was standing in there packing a suitcase. I rolled my eyes and walked over to my vanity and started applying some makeup. "Baby are you still mad?" I ignored him and walked over to my closet and got a black romper out. "You realize were gonna have to talk at Sam party right?" Mike questioned me and wrapped his arms around my waist tightly. I hit him and he pulled me closer, "Come on K." Mike pulled me in closer. "Come on K." I rolled my eyes and put the romper back in my closet before getting a black maxi dress with colorful flowers all over it. Mike pushed his lips against my neck and I groaned "Mikkkkeeee." he separated from my neck and I slapped his arm. "Come on baby, it's for work. If I don't go on tour I won't have money to pay for the house and buy you and Sam food." I rolled my eyes again and elbowed him in the stomach to get him off of me. Mike ended up giving up and walked away from me. I pulled my dress on and bent over to pick up a pair of flip flops from the floor. "Come on baby I can't take it anymore please talk to me." I ignored him again and pulled my hair out of the messy bun it was in and brushed out the knots. I put on a necklace and walked out of the room and back into Sam's room. He was still asleep so I went downstairs.

"Babe-" I looked at Mike "Yes?" I was shooting daggers at him. "Are you on your period or something?" Mike was clearly irritated. I rolled my eyes and turned back to the counter to finish decorating Sam's cake. I felt Mike grab my wrist. "Karen. We need to talk." my wrist started to hurt under Mike's grip. "Mike let go of me you're hurting me." I was scared at this point Mike didn't seem to notice that I was scared. "Stop being a bitch." he let go of me and left the room. I pulled my wrist into me and looked down at it to see a bruise forming. I started hyperventilating. Mike has never done anything like this before. What if he hits me... or if he hits Sam. I felt tears flowing out of my eyes at that point. I heard someone knock on the door and I rushed into the bathroom so they wouldn't see me cry.

I slumped against the tub and heard Mike's parents in the living room along with my mom. I stood up and looked in the mirror I messed up my mascara by crying. I got a tissue and wiped off the black stains the best I could before walking out of the bathroom to join the party.

As the party went on nobody seemed to notice what happened to my wrist since everyone was focused on making Sam's birthday a good one even though he probably won't remember today. I smiled at how happy he was playing with his baby friends. "Hey Karen." I looked up and saw my mom. "Hey mommy." I smiled at her. "My grand baby got so big." she was happy. "He did." I commented "And my baby's birthday is coming up." she nudged me. I laughed "I forgot." she rolled her eyes "I'll take you out to lunch with Tone, if he's home." I nodded "I'd like that." she smiled "Your dad would be proud of you sweetie." I swallowed "You take no shit from anyone, married to a good man and a baby. He would be obsessed with Sam." I nodded "He would've loved Sam." "I'm gonna go get a drink you want anything baby girl?" I shook my head "I'm good."

I was sitting alone for a little while until Mike sat down next to me. I pulled away from him a little, "Baby, i'm sorry." he put his hand on my knee and I hit his hand away. "Baby, please i'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you." I rolled my eyes "Baby you know I love you, I was just a little annoyed and I didn't realize what I was doing until after it was done." I didn't say anything. "Baby I love you." I looked up at Mike. He did look sorry, "Ever do that to me or Sam again I will leave and take all your money." Mike laughed "I won't baby, I promise." I smiled and hugged Mike being careful of my wrist. Mike hugged me back and kissed my head, "Come on let's eat some cake."
