Over the next few months, Aladdin learned alot about parenting. Like how to feed Alicia, how to bathe her, and how to change her diaper, while Jasmine rested. Soon Jasmine got her strength back and was helping Aladdin take care of Alicia. Soon Alicia was beginning to crawl, and then she learned to walk and talk. Her first words were Mommy and Daddy. Aladdin and Jasmine were very proud of her. As the years went by, Aladdin saw more of him in Alicia. She had his strength, like if you tried to take her toys from her, she would have a tight grip on it. It would take you several minutes (maybe even a half hour) to take it from her. Alicia also had her mother's beauty. Her small black curls wore off. She had long black straight hair, with curls at the ends. Jasmine and Aladdin both knew Alicia wasn't a baby any more, she was a beautiful little 5 year old girl. And soon all of Agrabah would be hers. A few weeks later, Jasmine was pregnant again. They didn't know what it was gonna be, but they were very happy.
One morning, Alicia flopped her body on her perfectly made bed, making it messy. But she didn't care. She was really bored, and lonely. I wish I had a brother or sister to play with. She thought. We would play all day and watch the stars at night. She sighed and walked over to her balcony. There she leaned against the rail, and watched children play and have fun in the streets.
"I would do anything to be them" She said softly to herself.
"Just to play and have fun. But here I am. A prisoner in my own home."
Just then, the sun came out from behind a cloud. It blinded her eyes, so she went back inside. As she walked in, she remembered what her parents told her about going in Agrabah. They told her she had to wait until she was seven or eight. Alicia hated that rule, because she had to wait two or three more years! Alicia looked around her huge room to find something to do. She decided to make up her bed. Once she got done, she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!" She yelled. When she saw who it was, she ran into his arms.
"Good Morning Daddy!" Aladdin hugged her back.
"Good Morning Alicia!" He replied.
"Are you hungry?" He asked. She shook her head. For some reason, Alicia wasn't eating like she should, and Aladdin noticed. She could go through a whole day without eating unless you beg her.
"Is there something wrong Alicia?" He asked looking into her big solemn dark golden eyes. She looked back into his warm dark brown eyes.
"Daddy," She began, "I am tired of being stuck in this palace!" She began crying in her father's chest. He felt her cold tears soak through his purple vest, and tried to comfort her, but it didn't work. Alicia stopped crying, and then asked,
"Daddy, can I have a brother or sister?"
Aladdin looked at her surprised. Alicia continued.
"You know! Someone to play with all day, and watch the stars at night." As she said that Aladdin thought it was a perfect time to tell her the good news. She whipped the last tear from her cheek, and looked back at Aladdin.
"Alicia, I have some good news!" He said with a smile. Alicia's eyes turned from a dark solemn gold, to a bright gold. She wanted to know what the good news was.
"Tell me Daddy! Tell Me!" She begged, bouncing excitedly on his lap.
"You are gonna be a big sister next week!"
She gasped. She didn't know what to say. All her prayers and wishes has been answered and granted. She kissed his cheek, and jumped on her bed happily (making it messy again.) Aladdin went over and kissed her on the forehead, and left to check on Jasmine.
When Aladdin left, Alicia jumped off her bed and left it messy, and ran out to tell everyone her good news.
