My Father, Peter Gene Hernandez

Chapter 53: Brooklyn Isabella

 I Called my mom and she answered on the 3rd ring.

"Hello?"

"Hi Angelina."

"Hi"

"Your Sister can't wait to see you."

"So you want me to come."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"What hospital are you in and what room?"

"I'll text you all the info."

"Okay Bye."and I hung up.

I look down at what I was wearing, shorts and a crop top. I need to change. I grab a black tank top and put my converse on. I knock on my dads door and when no one answered I walked in and went to hs closet, "I know he has a flannel in here somewhere."

"Looking for this?" My dad said walking into his room.

"uh.. yea." 

"Would you like to wear it?"

"Please." My dad threw his flannel at me and I caught it.

"You Ready?" He asked.

"As ready as I can be." 

My Dad and I drove to the hospital and I told the front desk that I was here to see My mother. They gave my dad and I a visitors pass and told us what room to go to. As we walked down the hall I was getting nervous that my hand started shaking.

"It's okay, I'll be with you."

We got outside of the room. I took a deep breath and walked in. My mother looked up.

"Is it okay if my dad comes in?"

"Sure." My dad introduced himself to my sisters father.

"Can I hold her?"

"Yea." My mother handed my sister to me.

"What's her name?"

"Brooklyn, Brooklyn Isabella."

"She's beautiful."

"She looks just like you." My Mother says.

I looked at Brooklyn and smiled as she looked up at me.

She giggled.

"Hi, I'm your Big Sister." I tell Brooklyn.

I looked at my Dad, He was smiling.

"Do you know who her Godparents are yet?"

"We're not sure." I looked at my dad.

"Umm Can I talk to my dad please?"

"Yea.," I gave my sister to my mom and walked into the hallway.

I took a deep breath and ran my fingers through my hair.

"If you want to leave we can." My dad said.

"I want to be Brooklyn's Godmother." I blurted out.

"Woah Woah Woah! Angelina you're 14, you can't take care of a new born baby."

"It's the only thing that will keep me in some sort of relationship with my sister. Dad when Brooklyn grows up and God forbid something happens to her parents I will have no connection with her, My mom will pick people from Brooklyn's father's family and I will never see my sister." 

"Baby girl, you're only 14 years old."

"Dad, I know I just want her to have someone to look up to, someone to go to when she thinks everyone is against her, someone that won't abandon her like they did to me."
