Chapter 1, Petunia
Four year old Petunia sat on her grandmother's lap, listening to a story.
"Then the doctors finally let me come in and see you for the first time. After a few weeks your parents brought you home you have lived here ever since," Grandma Evans shifted Petunia to her other leg, "Now they are going to bring Lily home from the hospital, and she will live here to."
Petunia looked up, "Who's Lily?"
Grandma looked down at Petunia with concern in her eyes, "She's your baby sister honey."
"Oh," Petunia said sucking her thumb, not having any idea what her grandmother was talking about.
"Remember we saw her at the hospital."
Oh, Petunia understood what her grandma was talking about, they had gone to the hospital last week and visited her mum "No, grandma," Petunia giggled, "That was Mommy, not Lily!"
Grandma chuckled, "Petunia dear, we saw your mum and Lily,"
This woman must be really confused Petunia thought, there had only been her mom there. Wait no. Her dad was there too. "No, no, no. Grandma, that was Dad who was with Mom," Petunia said with a very serious expression, "There was no Lily."
"Petunia, your mother was holding Lily."
What was she trying to say, a big bundle of blankets was coming home to live with them, because that was all her mom had been holding. She must have made some kind of mistake.
