Oh, baby!
Last month, Coraline Jones let her best friend, Wybie, move in with her and her parents, due to his parents and his grandma's passing.
Wybie got used to the Pink Palace. He had his side of the room, he taught Charlie how to cook decent meals since he had to take care of his gramma and cooked her meals.
Everything was fine for him and Coraline.
Until their mom told them some 'special' news!
Their mom and dad called them in for a 'Family Meeting' in the living room. Which was weird, considering they usually never had family meetings.
They had Coraline and Wybie sit down on the couch. Mel and Charlie had on 'I-Got-A-Surprise-For-You' faces.
Coraline was curious. Then she got an idea. Is it possible? No, it can't be…could it? She looked down to her mothers stomach. It was…bigger. Just a hint…
"What is it, Mom", Coraline asked suspiciously, not taking her eyes off of Mel's stomach.
"Yeah, what's up, Mrs. Jones?"
Mel rolled her eyes. "Wybie, I told you before. You can call me 'mom' if you want to!"
Wybie thought about this for a minute. "Hmm..", he said. "How about Mama Jones? Ooh! How about MJ for short?"
Mel said, "MJ? No. That's what people used to call Michael Jackson!"
Wybie was about to about to reply about how awesome Michael Jackson was, but Charlie interrupted, "Okay! Well we have something to tell you kiddos! Mel? Would you like to say it?"
Mel nodded, then said proudly, "Coraline Jones and Wybie Lo-Jones…" Hmm…Wybie thought. Wybie Jones…I like the sound of that! Mel broke his thoughts by saying, "I proudly present to you, these certificates of Big Brotherhood", she handed one to Wybie. "And Big Sisterhood", she handed one to Coraline.
Coraline covered her hand in shock. "You don't mean…"
Mel raised an eyebrow. "Oh, I mean!"
Wybie was so excited! He never had a sibling before! Well, besides Coraline. But that didn't count!
"AWESOME!", Wybie shouted excitedly. "I'm gonna be a big brother! This is awesome! Right, Coraline?"
Coraline looked like she was about to say something like she didn't like it, but she was hesitant. After a second, she said with a trembling voice, "Uh, yeah! That's great. I…I…I'm really happy." Then she gave a weak smile. Wybie noticed but he was too excited to say anything about it.
"Oh", Wybie said. "I gotta tell gra-…Oh, wait. Nevermind." Coraline could tell that he was about to say 'Gramma'. He looked sad. Real sad. "Oh, um…I'm gonna go upstairs and, uh, watch the television", he said as he sulked up stairs into his and Coraline's bedroom.
Coraline said, "Yeah, I'll be up there in a minute, too!" Then she turned to her parents with a 'What-Should-I-Do?' look. Charlie sighed and said, "Just try to cheer him up. Ask about the baby, or something. Give him a hug or something!"
A hug? Coraline had always wanted to give Wybie a hug! Ever since he had saved her life. "A hug", Coraline repeated. "Okay."
So she went upstairs with Wybie. She saw him on her bed, which is closest to the door, lying face first into her pillows, whining.
"Uh…Wybie?"
"Yeah", a muffled voice came.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, Coraline, I'm jusht shunshine and roshes!" (A/N: If you can't understand this, he said I'm just sunshine and roses!) His voice sounded weird due to the muffleness. (A/N: Haha…muffleness…)
"Wybie, I know it's hard, but…at least you got a family now!"
Wybie shifted to his side, back turned to Coraline. He said, "Well…"
Coraline thought for a moment and said, "Think about it: you got an awesome step-mom, awesome step-dad, new baby brother or sister, AND, to make it all great, you got an awesome, cool, outstanding, amazing sister!"
Wybie laughed at this and Coraline playfully punched him in the shoulder. He rubbed it. Not of pain, it was just a habit now. "Yeah", he rolled his green (or brown or hazel. I can't tell.) eyes. "Some awesome, cool, outstanding and amazing sister!"
