I know I haven't updated Friendship but I really wanted to do this story.
Who can't wait until May 2nd? First episode of season 4.
Ever since James was little, James had wanted a younger brother or sister that he could look after and play with. Now a seven year old James was waiting with his dad at the hospital waiting for his baby brother or sister to come.
James was just about to go to sleep when he heard a nurse saying, "Mr Diamond. Mr Diamond. It's a boy but ..."
"Are you ready James? Are you ready to see your baby brother" said Mike Diamond.
"I'm ready Dad"
"But sir, I have to warn you. Before you go inside, you must know that your son has cerebral palsy but..."
"Dad, what does that mean?"
"Sir. But the good thing is that he has mild cerebral palsy. So he won't need special care but…"
"Dad, can we go see him now"
"As I was saying before, if you go see a doctor every two months things should be fine. And you can go see him now."
With that, she gave a quick smile to James and his dad and left. Mike had tears in his eyes but h had to be strong for James. He looked down to see James tugging on his pants.
"James before we go, I need you to promise me something. I need you to promise me that you would always be there for him."
"I promise dad. I really do. Can we go seen him now?"
"We'll go but you now the nurse that came out of the room. Well she said that your brother has a disease which is going to affect him."
"Is it bad?"
"Sorta but at least it's mild. Let's go see him now."
As they went inside the room James went to his mum while Mike went to talk to the doctor.
"Hello. You must be Mike Diamond. I presume you must know that your son has cerebral palsy. It's affected his legs but he can walk without a wheelchair for a couple of metres. Here's a pamphlet and call the hospital or your family doctor or even the number at the bottom if you have any questions. And here's a card to buy a wheelchair."
With that the doctor gave Mike the pamphlet and card and left.
"Oh Mike take a photo" cried out Brooke and Mike took his phone out.
What happened…
"Come here sweetie. Do you want to see your baby brother?"
James got on the bed and stared at the new born in his mother's hand. The baby was wrapped in a pale blue blanket, his eyes were closed and his little hands were in fists. But James thought the baby was cute.
"What's his name mum? "
"Well I thought you could decide."
"Can we name him Kendall?
"Sure"
"Can I hold him? Please. I promise I'll be really careful. "
"Sure. Hold your arms out."
As James held his arms out, Brooke placed Kendall..
"Oh, Mike take a photo. This is just too cute."
Mike took his phone out and took a photo of James holding Kendall. After that he joined his family around the bed and looked at Kendall. Mike was lost in his thoughts when he heard Brooke say something.
"Huh"
"Does James know about it?"
"No. Not yet."
"When do you want us to tell him?"
"Soon. After we go home"
I finished chapter one. I'll try updating soon. Maybe a week to two.
