Picture : Ruth's baby

Chapter 15

The month of May was very uneventful. Except that my birthday happened. Nothing huge. I mean I had a very Sixteen Candles moment, with me and Nive sitting on top of a glass table with a cake. I kissed him instead of blowing out the candles…well that was my wish anyway.

So here we are. June. The last month of school. Classes were full of non learning since pretty soon we would have exams. But of course things of interest always happen on the last day of school. Like my sister’s water breaking. Fraido had to rush her to the hospital.

Once Nive and I met her there mother and dad and ‘mom’ arrived after too. Only Fraido stayed in the room with Ruth. We could Ruth screaming out in pain from down the hall. So much screaming and yelling. She kept screaming “GIVE ME THE GOD DAMN PAIN KILLERS!”

I know it wasn’t a funny time, but I kept giggling every time she said that. Mother gave me a stern face and I stopped. It took about three hours. And then they allowed us into the nursery. I was the first to go in and look and my niece. OH MY GOSH. She was so adorable. They had her in a pink fluffy blanket. And she looked like she was sleeping.

A nurse let me hold her. I felt like crying but I didn’t. Mother came in and she was at a total loss for words. I handed the baby over to her and she actually cried. I’d NEVER seen my mother cry before. She looked up at me and said “I’m…I’m a grandmother…”

Then dad came in and he held the baby, he was at a loss for words too. Even ‘mom’ got to hold her. This was such a beautiful family moment.

Later on we got to go into the room and see Ruth and Fraido. Ruth was tired and sweating. Mother hugged Ruth as soon as she entered. And she even hugged Fraido. We stayed there for a while. And I was the last to leave. Though before I left, Ruth said “…I saw her…got to hold her…I don’t want to give her away…”

“But what about the family you promised her to”

“I’ll write them a letter or something…I can’t go through with that anymore…” Ruth spoke serious full of meaning. I think she actually loved her baby.
