I Loved Her First Chapter 1

She's okay, for a girl

Four year old Tai Kamiya was heading to the park with his very pregnant mother. He was having a play date with his best friend, Matt. Matt's mom had recently had a baby so Tai was very excited for his mother to have her baby. He was dying for a baby brother, like his best friend had. Reaching the park, Tai ran over to the sandbox and sat down next to Matt.

"Hi Matt!" Tai greeted.

"Hi Tai. Did your mom have the baby yet?"

"No, not yet. But when he comes, maybe he and TK can be best friends just like us!"

"That would be so cool! But are you sure it'll be a boy?"

"Well, you got a brother. So I think that I should get one too."

"Okay. And we can teach them things. Like how to build sandcastles and how to sneak snacks."

"Yeah, it's gonna be fun." Tai said, thinking about the things Matt has said. He could already picture him and his baby brother, playing soccer and getting into trouble together.

Getting up, Tai and Matt ran over to the swings. They played for hours, talking about their brothers growing up together and being best friends. When it was time to go, Tai said goodbye to Matt and ran back to his mom. He told her how excited he was and how he couldn't wait for the baby.

2 weeks later, Tai's mom went into labor. He had no idea what was going on, he had no idea why his mom was screaming. His dad drove him and his mom to the hospital but then left Tai with a nurse. Waiting for the baby was so boring. It had been 6 hours and Tai was bored to death. The nurse tried to entertain him, but it wasn't working. He wanted to be with his mommy and daddy. But most of all, he wanted to meet his brother. After another 2 hours, Tai's dad came out.

"Hey buddy! Wanna come with me? You're mom and I have someone for you to meet."

Taking his dad's hand, they walked down the hallway and into a room full of balloons and flowers. His mom was lying in bed, holding a pink blanket. Getting up on the bed, Tai received a kiss from his mother.

"Tai, I want you to meet Kari, your new baby sister." His mother said proudly.

"Sister? You mean, she's a girl?"

"Yeah, honey. Aren't you happy?"

Staring at the baby, Tai became disappointed.

'It has to be a mistake. They must have the wrong baby. I'm supposed to have a brother!' Tai thought. Seeing her son's disappointment, Mrs. Kamiya came up with an idea.

"Tai, why don't you hold her?"

"Fine." Tai replied, frowning.

Sitting down in a chair, Tai received baby Kari. Looking down at her, he saw her smiling. Moving her blanket down from her face, Kari grabbed his finger. Tai suddenly felt happy.

"So Tai," his father began "what do you think?"

"She's okay, for a girl..."
