"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Antonio breathed, gazing in awe at the tiny life stirring in his arms. The baby gurgled happily as she opened her eyes, shimmering rounds as blue as the summer sky, and got her first look up at her Papa.
"You're wrong. She's perfect," Arthur chuckled, not yet mesmerised completely by this moment. It seemed like the maddest thing in the world for the couple to put themselves through a second round of lengthy legal processes, but they wanted another little one in their lives so badly. They already had their precious Carlos, who they'd somehow managed to help grow from a cheeky, if a little timid toddler to a sweet, loving boy who always seemed to have a smile on his face, but it didn't seem fair to only have bought love, joy and hope to the life of just one child. So they decided on adopting another, this time a baby girl from England.
"Want to come say hello to your baby sister, Carlos?" Antonio offered, glancing over at the boy sitting across from them.
Carlos studied the baby in his Papa's arms from where he was sat, observing her like she was a strange, grotesque monster. He wasn't sure he liked babies, given his experiences of his friends' little siblings...
"She doesn't smell, does she?" the boy enquired, screwing up his face in disgust.
"No, she's ok for now," Arthur informed him calmly, unwilling to discuss the...less enjoyable part of caring for a baby with his young son.
"Will she cry lots?" Carlos probed further, craning his neck forward.
There was no sugar-coating the truth with this one.
"Yes, but only because she can't talk yet. Crying's her only way of telling us she needs something," Antonio explained.
"Oh, ok," Carlos responded, accepting the fact readily.
The baby let out a tiny giggle at the sound of her big brother's voice, wriggling around more in her Papa's arms.
"I think she's very excited to meet you. Come on over," Arthur invited.
Still unsure about being a big brother, Carlos tentatively walked over to the three, smiling widely when he caught his first real glimpse of his little sister's face.
"What's her name?" he asked.
"Elizabeth Rose Kirkland-Fernandez," Arthur began proudly.
"But we'll call her Lizzy for short," Antonio finished.
Carlos peered down at the tiny girl, and gently whispered, "Hi, Lizzy...I'm your big brother."
Lizzy let out a delighted little squeal, which Carlos swore meant, "Nice to meet you, big brother!"
"She's cute," Carlos decided, turning back to his Papa. "I think I like her!"
"Good to hear," Antonio and Arthur chimed in unison, happy that their new addition to the family was welcomed by their son...
And there's yet another story about the SpUK family! I regret to inform you that I will be starting college tomorrow, so I will not have as much time to write anymore X.X. But don't worry! I'll try and get a new story out at the end of every week! See ya!
