From the moment that Emmy Grant walked into the hospital room she knew things had changed. She was no longer the baby of the family. She watched in amazement as her daddy lifted her onto the bed and watched as her momma turned and put the baby in her arms. She felt a sense of joy.
"He's so chubby!" She smiled "He's the cutest though!" She smiled "Hi Ger, i'm your big sister. Emmy and i love you SO much! I'm glad you are here though because i spent my last two birthdays wishing for you!"
Her parents watched her as she made her way into the nursery in the middle of the night and sat down by the babies crib
"Gerry, it's Emmy!" She whispered as he turned to look at her. Gerry Grant had the bluest eyes of all the grants. It had been 2 months since he had come home and although his parents were exhausted he was a happy baby and they were grateful for their older child who would get them anything whenever she saw they needed help.
"Just wanted to make sure you were alright, i'm your big sister so i have to protect you!" She smiled "now that i'm 7 i can start karate momma said so don't worry!"
Her mother laughed making her look towards the door
"You should be asleep"
"I heard him crying" Emmy said as her daddy lifted her up and into his arms
"Say goodnight" he hovered her over the baby as she kissed Gerry on the lips and whispered goodnight
