I was really happy when I found out I was going to have a baby brother. I was 6 and Seto was 8. Seto's my brother. We already had a name picked out, well my dad picked it out, Mokuba after our Great Grandfather. You could say I was really lucky, but I wasn't, cuss what I was going to find out was going to change my life, FOREVER!!!
A month later mom & dad went to the doctor's to check if there was any problems with the baby. I was in my room, shared with Seto. Seto was watching TV, while I was drawing a picture of a horse. A hour later mom & dad returned home. Mom was crying, & cried even more when dad tried to calm her.
Mom ran into her room, lied on her bed, & burst into more tears. Dad had to tell us everything.
"Daddy why Mommy is crying," I said looking right into eyes.
"She is crying...because she...found out...that...she has...cancer," Dad answered back.
"Is cancer a sickness???" I asked him hoping to get an answer. Sometimes dad says I am too young to understand something when I ask him about something.
"Yes, Lita it is, & to cure this kind of cancer, Mom needs to have an abortion, or another way to call it is to get rid of the baby," Dad said this holding back tears.
Seto ran into our room & sat on his bed with his teddy in one hand, & his other hand reaching for more tissues. I on the other hand walked into our parent's room & lied down with Mom.
Mom knew it was either the baby dies or she does. And, she was going to pick herself. Even if dad would not agree she wouldn't have that abortion. For her an abortion was out of the question.
