Why Choose?

Chapter 1

My fingers were already beginning to hurt about thirty minutes into writing my entry for the day, blogging hurts. After another twenty minutes of writing I ran down the walkway to the kitchen for some breakfast. To my surprise my mother was sitting on the counter. She was a tall 35 year old woman with beautiful brown hair that fell on her shoulders effortlessly, she was a single mom since we lost our father to the war in Japan. We were two siblings Jason, my annoying older brother and I. My mom was a wealthy person due to the fact that she was the Representative of New York, Nebraska, and Florida.

"Mom? I thought you were at work." I asked confused. She turned to face me "I was but I got the call from your aunt and she gave birth today. It's a beautiful baby girl." She said to me, with a cheek to cheek smile on her face. "Sweet! When can I go see them?" I asked already excited. "Well I was going to ask if you wanted to come with me today sweetie." She said. "Great!" I said to her as I began my run up to my room, even more excited now.

I quickly ran upstairs and told my closet to bring up a casual outfit from Aeropostale. By the time I had brushed my teeth and hair a pair of prescription glasses were hanging on top of a black blouse covered by a beautiful gray blazer and a pair of jeans with converse hanging off. I quickly put the outfit on and told my room to shut off. I was out the door in under ten minutes. And I almost forgot, I ran back inside "House Security set to strangers." I shouted out in the hallway. "Yes Ms. Emerald Jensen" said the computer back to me.

I jumped into the car where my mom waited doing her makeup. Just as quickly as she started to she stopped doing her makeup and started the Rail. The P2A slowly rose upward and began searching for the nearest airway path to the hospital. We rose up as I began to watch the suburbs of Boston get farther and farther. I never got tired of seeing the slow descent upwards. We were at the hospital in under five minutes. My mom as always set a few ground rules to being in the Hospital. And we got down to get to my aunt's room. We are greeted by a most familiar face her, Renny, and Grant her husband, are sitting smiling while Renny was holding the baby.

They both look over at us, and I instinctively say "Aww." We exchange kisses on the cheek and my mom tells me "Renny tell Emerald what you have decided to call the baby." Renny looked over at me smiling, her short pixie cut hair staying still as her gleaming eyes stared at me. "I'm naming her Ruby." She smiled at me. "Oh my god thank you thank you thank you! I've always wanted someone somewhat named after me!" I said almost screaming until a nurse came in complaining. "Once she does the test and we can leave I'll be able to officially name her." Grant just stood there smiling he never spoke much and was such a family man.

By the time we left the Hospital it was ten, I didn't even need to ask her my mom set the rail's airway to the nearest McDonald's. Big breakfasts always hit the spot. The rest of the week was very slow and we visited twice. I was excited for the choosing but I was also nervous, there was always that chance. Once I woke up I changed into a mini dress with my glasses and converse and asked my room to shut-off, the lights slowly dimmed the air conditioning stopped and the TV shut itself off. When I got downstairs I was greeted by the smell of sausage, scrambled eggs, and a croissant.

"Morning." I said staring at the nervous wreck that was my mother. "Good morning dear." I gave her a look and she automatically says "I'm sorry I'm very nervous now that I think about it but I'm sure everything will be fine. My mom grabbed her grabbed her orchestrating stick and but on some classical music. I envied her object and she envied mine. We can't use each others because it is literally impossible even though once I could have sworn I had. After that it was time for the Choosing then I got nervous.
