Fears of Jealousy
Sisters Chapter 2
After Grace comforted her daughters she thought about when she was younger and when she and sisters used to argue. She was happy that for the most part they got along and hoped that Annie and Molly would get along in the same way throughout their lives
She remembered back to before Melissa was born when it was just her and Jen. They were the best of friends from day one. Then on the day her parents announced they were going to have another baby she was shocked.
Her sister came into her room one afternoon when she was playing with her dolls. Jen noticed her younger sister looked kind of distracted and wasn't enjoying herself as much as she normally would be playing with her dolls.
"What's wrong Gracie?"
"Nothing."
Jen knew her sister was lying.
"C'mon, you know you can tell me anything."
Grace was quiet for about five minutes. Her sister suddenly noticed that she was crying.
"I'm just so confused about the baby coming. I don't know how to feel about the news."
Grace felt her sister pull her into her lap.
"What's the biggest fear you have?"
"That Mommy and Daddy are going to forget all about me when the baby comes."
Jen rubbed her baby sister's back.
"Mom and Dad won't forget about either of us Gracie. They'll still love us no matter what happens."
"Did you feel the same way when I was born Jen?"
Jen nodded. "It was hard at first adjusting to being a big sister but once I got used to it I was able to feel better about helping Mom with you and we can both help Mom and Dad take care of the new baby."
Grace kissed her sister on the cheek. "I love you Jen."
"I love you too Grace. "
Grace and Jen's little sister Melissa was born at the end of May. Their father took them to go visit their mom and new sister in the hospital.
"Jenny, Gracie meet your new sister Melissa."
Jen and Grace walked over to the bed where there mother was holding their new baby sister.
Grace kissed her mother. "Hi Mama."
"Hi, my sweet girl. Isn't your little sister so pretty?
Grace nodded. "She's so tiny too. Was I that little when I was born?"
Her father nodded. "But now you're a beautiful big girl Gracie and you and Jenny are going to help us take care of Melissa."
George Farrell scooped his 2nd oldest daughter up and kissed her.
"I love you and Mama so much Daddy."
"We love you too precious. How about you give your sister a kiss too? George bought Grace over to the bedside.
Grace leaned over and kissed her baby sister on the top of the head whispering. "I love you too Melissa."
