Ch.4
It has been a month since my last fight with Izoyai. She and I have been tighter than we ever were. Papa had known we would regret driving each other away and allowed us to mend our twin-ship bond. Mama had the baby last night.
The new baby is a boy! His name is Harold Benjamin Bruttenholm-Canine or H.B. Junior. Papa thought it would be funny to name him after Mama. Mama wasn't amused.
I'm just happy to finally have a little brother. Izoyai will warm up to him, eventually. She is still jealous of him. I have already held him at least once.
"Holding your baby brother again, Tash?" I hear Mama say.
"I can't help it, Mama!" I exclaim quietly while holding H.B.
"I can see that." Mama chuckles.
I gently lay H.B. back in his crib. Mama is standing in the doorway of the nursery. Behind him is Izoyai. She is nervous, about what I'm not sure.
Mama gently picks up H.B. Izoyai holds her arms for him as Mama gently places him in her arms. I am shocked beyond belief. Izoyai is holding our little brother in her arms!
"Are you really...?" I ask, shocked.
"I guess I am." She softly replies.
H.B. squirms in her arms as he sleeps. I see Izoyai suck in a breath. Mama is standing to the side looking proud. He and I look at Izoyai and smile.
