Author's Note: This kind of popped into my head so I wrote a short drabble. I might make it a multi-chap fic thing so review and let me know what you think if I should keep going.
Karen MacKenzie sat outside the hospital room snuggled in her father's loving embrace. She was tired but had the underlying feeling of excitement. She was going to be a big sister. Her mom was in the birthing room right now having another little baby.
"The family of Elizabeth MacKenzie" the doctor shouted coming out of the emergency room.
"That's us" my dad stood up and carried me over to the man.
"Both mother and child are resting. You had a baby girl,born 12;36 am on March 25th and she weighs 6 pounds and 3 ounces" the man told us.
"A baby girl! Another girl!" my dad was so excited he kissed my cheek and spun me around in a circle.
I had a little baby sister. I was so excited,I couldn't wait till she could say my name and walk and ride a bike. Since I was five years older I would have to look after my baby sister.
When we went in to see my mom she was lying on the pillows propped up holding my newborn sister to her chest.
"Mommy!" I ran over to the bed and jumped up beside her trying to see my sibling.
"Hello darling" my mom kissed me,then my dad and the pressed a soft kiss onto my baby sister's head.
"Would you like to hold your baby sister?" she asked.
"Oh please can I" I started bouncing on the bed in excitement.
"Calm down and hold out your arms. Be careful because she's a little heavy" my mom instructed and I complied calming down to please my mommy.
As soon as my sister was placed into my arms I very nearly dropped her.
"Oof she's heavy!" I groaned and my father Richard laughed.
I looked down into the white bundle and saw my baby sister.
She was so sweet,her sweet little face,her tiny little fingers. She looked like mom, the fuzz of hair on her forehead said she'd be a blonde,the rosebud lips and the same blue eyes.
I loved her instantly.
"We need a name. How about you pick Karen" my mom said to me and my dad agreed.
I stared at the little face unsure of what to pick. It's a huge responsibility,my baby sister wasn't just mine. One day she would be a mother,an aunt,a wife and I needed to give my little sister a great name.
Catherine? Not right. Josephine? To long. Hannah? Too little girl.
I sat for a few minutes then thought about the characters in the books I love.
The I remembered Princess Johanna,it was kind of an old fairytale type novel. It was about a kingdom that is taken over by a dragon and the dragon kills the royal family so a peasant named Johanna takes charge of the kingdom and she kills the dragon and is crowned the true princess.
Johanna was to long.
Joan was nice though.
On March 25th 1972 my little sister Joan MacKenzie was born.
