When Mama and Papa told me about the baby, I was really looking forward to it. It was my first day in America and I was already going to be a big sister!
As I was going to the kitchen to ask for my lunch, I heard Mama and Papa shout at each other.
"I'm not happy with how you told Lizzie about the baby!" I heard Mama shout.
"Why? What did I do wrong?" Papa shouted back.
"You didn't explain it to a six-year-old so they would understand! Why didn't you tell Elizabeth like a normal six-year-old? I'm sure she didn't understand what you said when you said I was pregnant." Mama explained.
"I didn't say 'your mum's pregnant'. I said, 'your mother is going to have a baby.' I don't get you Camila. I really don't." Papa said.
"Alright then! If you don't understand me, let me take the children and I'll move back home." Mama said.
I didn't want to be separated when I'd only arrived yesterday afternoon.
"NO!" I shouted as I burst into the sitting room.
"What are you doing Elizabeth?" Mama asked.
"I don't want you and Papa to separate! I love my Papa and I don't want you to hurt him by taking me and the baby away!" I shouted.
Papa walked over to me and hugged me. I could tell he really loved me so I hugged him back. Papa gave me loads of kisses on my face and hair. I saw Mama on the armchair and she smiled so I smiled back at her.
"I promise you that I'll love you forever and I'll never let your Mama take you away from me." Papa whispered into my ear.
"I love you Mama and I love you Papa." I said loud enough for both Mama and Papa to hear.
"I love you two sweetheart." Mama said from her chair.
"I love you as well my baby girl." Papa said as he stood up and picked me up. I was placed on his hip and we went over to Mama. Mama stood up and we went upstairs to Papa's bedroom.
"What are we going to do?" I asked.
"We're going to watch a movie together in bed." Papa explained.
Mama lied down on the bed, me in the middle, and Papa on the other side. It was really funny.
"What shall we watch?" Mama asked.
"Bambi is my favourite." I replied.
We watched Bambi in bed together. There was times that we went in and out of the duvet cover. Me and Mama went to the bathroom lots.
I really loved my new family. Of course I missed Daddy and Step-Ma but this life was so much better than the last.
