*7 months ago.....*

Harold Angel was sitting at home, reading some comic books when he overheard his mother.

"Harold! Oh, Harold Angel!" Mrs. Angel called.

"Oh! Here I come, Mom!" Harold Angel called back as he put down his comic, and went to the front door.

"Hey, Mom." said Harold Angel. "So...."

"I've got some news for you." said Mrs. Angel. "You're going to be a big brother!"

"Really?!" cried Harold Angel. "Are you saying....?"

"That's right." Said Mrs. Angel. "I'm going to have another baby."

"I..... I.... I don't believe it!" exclaimed Harold Angel. "I'm gonna be a big brother!"

*Present day.....*

Harold Angel had arrived home from school. He had had a good day at school. Just as he arrived home, there were his parents, and his mother had an enormous belly.

"Harold." said Mrs. Angel. "So glad you could make it. We were just about to leave for the hospital."

"The hospital?!" cried Harold Angel. "You mean....?"

"It's time!" answered Mr. Angel. "Come on, Isabelle. We'd best go."

"Hold on, Kenneth!" said Isabelle. "We haven't told Harold the news yet."

"What news?" asked Harold.

"Harold, dear." said Isabelle. "For as long as we're gone...."

"Is Grandma coming?" asked Harold Angel.

"No. Your grandma isn't coming over." said Kenneth. "You're going to stay at a friend's house."

"A friend's house?" Harold Angel said.

"You'll be staying over at Charlie's house." answered Isabelle.

"For real?" Harold Angel said. "Alright! I get to stay with Sally for a while!"

So Harold Angel went up to his room, packed up some clothes and a sleeping bag, and headed out to the Browns' place.

"This'll be exciting!" said Harold Angel to himself. "My new sibling will be born soon, and I get to stay with my Sweet Butterfly!"

Harold Angel arrived at the Browns' place, and knocked on the door. And who should open the door but Charlie Brown.

"Oh. Hello, Harold." said Charlie Brown.

"Hi, Charlie Brown." said Harold Angel. "Is Sally home?"

"Yes. She is." said Charlie Brown.

"What's going on?" Sally asked as she came downstairs. "Who's at...."

Sally found out soon enough who was at the door.

"Hey! My sweet angel is here!"

"Hi, Sally." said Harold Angel.

"What brings you here?" asked Sally.

"Well," said Harold Angel. "I'm staying over for a while. My mom's in the hospital."

"Really?" said Sally. "How come?"

"You won't believe this," said Harold Angel. "But..... but....."

"Yes?" asked Sally.

"I'm gonna be a big brother soon!" Harold Angel said excitedly.

"A big brother? Wow!" cried Sally.

"I can't wait! I can't wait!"
