Baby Brother.

Jay's reaction when he saw his parents came home from the hospital with his little brother in arms.

It was a cold winter afternoon in January, the three-year old Jay Halstead was up in a small dresser on his room, staring at the window and waiting for his parents to return home.

Today was the day his brother was going to come. Finally, he had be waiting for this a lot, a lot and a lot. Finally someone who play ball with, someone to color draws with, to play with him with all his toys, he was anxious to meet his brother and teach him everything he knows, show him his dinosaur book, the vocals, help him to write his letter to Santa Claus, and all those funny things he had to do alone.

He actually put his tricycles on his room (he had a very spacious room) the one with spider-man colors was for him, and the one with hulk colors for his brother, he was really excited to finally meet him and play with him. Since mom told him he was going to have a brother, he started making plans for them, they're were going to be best friends for the rest of their lives.

"Do you think he's goin' to want to play with me, Gracie?" The little boy asked to his baby sitter, keeping his eyes to the window.

"Yes, honey" Grace Anderson, the old lady answered him, keeping her attention on the scarf she was knitting.

"But what if he doesn't like me?" Jay asked again, just to get another 'yes, honey' for answer, that was the only thing Grace always told him to all his answers. He likes his baby sitter.

Jay kept looking at the window in silence, thinking about all the things they would do today. And finally, the door opened.

"They're here! Gracie, they're here, they're here!" The boy's face lit up and jumped down the dresser, running as fast as he could. "Gracie, they're here!" He finally said as he left the room.

"Yes, honey"

"Daddy, daddy!" Jay ran to his father's arms.

"Hey, little man" Pat Halstead said and picked his boy up. "Where is him, where's my brother?" the young boy asked, excited.

"He's with mommy, at the car, come on, let's go for them" Patrick took his son to the car, where his wife was sitting with his baby son in her arms.

"Jay, this in your brother Will" His mother told him, Jay gave a curious look to that little pink thing on her mother's arms. He looked like a boy, but very very little, he was just lying there, sleeping.

Them all got into their house, while crossing the yard Jay asked:

"Can't he walk?" Both of his parents just chuckled at him.

A week had passed since Jay's brother came home, he had to say he was really disappointed, he was waiting for a best friend, someone to play with, all his brother does was sleep and cry. Why didn't his parents return him to the hospital and bring a normal brother for him?

One day, as they were sleeping he listened his brother crying and it started bothering him, he stood up and went to his crib, and saw his brother with an arm caught between the crib bars.

"Mommy, Daddy!" The little boy yelled. "Come here, fast!"

Both of their parents were on the room in a second, his mother went to him as his father checks in Will.

"Mommy, I don't want him to go to heaven! I love him! Help him, please!" He shout at his mother.

"Hey, baby, it's okay, look at him, look at him" His father answered and took his brother to him.

"W-what h-happened?"

"He accidentally put his arm on the bars, but he's okay now and nothing happened"

"B-but he's c-crying!"

"He's crying cause' he's a baby, he can't talk" His mother explained.

"C-can't he?"

"No, love, crying is the only way he communicates"

"Is he going to learn?"

"Of course. He'll become a very smart little boy just as you"

"R-really?"

"Yes, sweetheart. When he grows up he'll be able to play, run and jump with you"

"And how long is that going to take?" His parents chuckled again and his dad kissed his forehead.

"It will come when you less expect it"

"Okay, I'll wait"

He got near to his brother's head and kissed it.

"I love you, baby brother Will"
