Wheres mommy, Jess? the question I couldnt answer. He looked up at me, I could see it in his eyes, he was confused. I looked at him, giving him the same look, as we both had no clue about what was going on. It was a cloudy Friday morning, we both somehow ended up at my aunts house, confused and sleepy. She went somewhere, but she will be back, soon. I told my brother. I was six then and he was five. We both sat on my aunts couch, clueless, confused, not knowing what was happening. Then all of a sudden, the phone rang. My aunt walked to the phone and we watched her as she paced back and forth in her kitchen. After a few minutes, she came back and told us the great news Your mom gave birth to a little girl, your hermanita. A what?! my brother and I exclaimed.

With my sisters birth, I now have developed to a grown person with responsibilities. I was able to mature and change for good.
