Life's Crazy Gifts

Chapter 1

"Morgan wake up." Said mom. "It's time for school." Now usually I would absolutely resent this, but for some reason I had a feeling I was about to be told something crazy, so woke up immediately. "I have something to tell you." Said mom. And there it was. The news that for some reason I knew before she even told me. "What?" I asked. "Let's just say your going to be an aunt." I was happy of course, but then again I was only in fourth grade so I really didn't think of what a stupid thing my sister did. I had to go school that morning without even being able to confront Lexi. That's what I call her, even though her real name is Alexia. I was itching to see her all day. Finally the school day was over and luckily Lexi picked me up because I was about to loose my mind. It was like seeing a huge present that you knew was yours, but not being able to open it for 2 years. The anticipation was killing me. I ran to her car and got in. We just stared at each other. She knew what I was going to say. We have this weird connection where we can talk to each other without actually talking. So there we were, sitting in deafening silence for the whole twenty minutes it took to get home.

We pulled into our driveway and went inside. I followed her into her room and shut the door. "So why didn't you tell me?" I asked in a tone of disappointment. "I don't know, I was scared I guess." Replied Lexi. "I didn't tell anyone." "How far along are you?" I said. "Five months." I thought my sister was crazy. She had been pregnant five months and didn't tell a single person except her 'boyfriend'. I walked out of the room upset. I know I was only nine, but my sister and I were close and told each other everything. In reality we are half sisters. We have the same dad but not the same mom by blood. My sisters birth mom, Christy was sort of crazy.Lexi has lived with us since I was born and she has always thought of my mom as her mom. None of us see it any other way. After I left her room, I went down stairs to see my mom and dad. I talked to them and dad was extremely mad at Lexi. He didn't talk to her for two weeks straight. A couple days later,Lexis 'boyfriend' Tyler came over to meet us. He was nice, but I think he was only being nice because he was scared of my parents. About a month later we found out Lexi was having a boy. That was fine with me.
Now the waiting pain had really kicked in. I was ready for her to have the baby. The taking care of her and getting her every little thing was never ending. She constantly had morning sickness. Everyday I saw it as another day closer to getting that thing out of her! I wanted a baby in the family.
