The unanswered question

Prologue

I never understood why people think that new born babies are cute or adorable. They all look the same to me.

I've been pointlessly sitting on the bench outside the delivery room for the past 7 hours. I didn't question why I'm here, nor did I want to know, because I understood that knowing gets me no where when my mom brushed me off when I asked her what's the point of going to school when I was 6.

I gave up scrolling through my phone when I was done checking every social media that I use, and finished playing every gaming app and decided to take a nap, and that's when I heard the sound of babies crying. Mom immediately burst into the delivery room and I followed her, not knowing what to do or expect.

"Nancy dear, why you standin' there? Come say hi to your cute little cousin Emily!" mom shouted so loudly and excitedly, so I nodded and walked towards her. Aunt Ava was holding onto a fragile looking baby and I assumed that she is the infamous Emily mom was talking about. "Hi Emmy, aren't you a cute looking buddy hmm...?" but that wasn't how I felt. Babies all look like potatoes if you ask me; they'll all grow up and look different. Parents will eventually accept the fact that they are no longer babies and ditch the way they treat new-born babies some day. And the fuss will all be over.

Lets see how long will Aunt Ava and mom stop treating little Emmy like a baby and start expecting certain things from her and giving her responsibilities.
