"Hector?"

"Yes mi vida?"

". . . My water broke . . ."

"Luanne, help your mom lie down, I'll get the midwife."

       Luanne nods her head & helps the older woman lied down. Hector soon came with the midwife. She than did her best to deliver the baby, helping the woman push through. After a couple hours later of Wednesday in mortal pain, cries of a baby would soon be heard. The midwife held the slimy baby & allowed the family see them.

"Congratulations, it's a baby gi-"

The baby cried louder as they started to hiss. "WWWWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HHHHHHHIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSS!"

" . . . It might be a b-" The father tried to suggest but was cut off.

"WWWWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" The baby cried with a hiss.

". . . Maybe they're neither?" The 10 year old asked.

       The baby soon began to clap with joy as they giggled in satisfaction. The group began to laugh with the newborn in happiness. Everything had seemed to go smoothly for everyone. However, when Hector started to hold his wife's hand to kiss it, he stopped immediately in panic. Her hand was as cold as ice & her body was no longer breathing.

"No . . . No!" Hector yelled as he started to shake the love of his life.

Luanne looked to see her mother dead in her father's arms. "Is she . . . ?"

The midwife checked her pulse. " . . . I'm sorry for your loss . . ." She said before leaving.

           The family that just became 4 was now 3 again. Hector & Luanne were inconsolable. There family may never be complete again. Than, they saw the crying baby as they wailed. That's right, they still needed a name.

" . . . Your mother always loved the name Pippy . . ."

"Well than, welcome to the world, Pippy Nice."
