ashton
ashon was an only child and without a father. he felt sort of lonely, with his mom always busy with work. he has always asked for another sibling, but his mom never had the time to consider it.
when ashton's third birthday arrived his mother was curious as to what he wanted.
--
"so, your birthday is coming up soon, ash"
"yup! im so excited!"
"what do you want for your birthday, honey?"
"mmm.. wait! i know!"
"what is it, ash?"
"me wants a sister!"
"ash.. i don-"
"please! i'll never ask for anything ever again! i won't be lonely anymore and i'll have someone to play with and i wi-"
"okay honey, i'll see what I can do"
-
on the day of his birthday, ashton and his mother drove to a builing not too far from their home.
"are you sure about this?" his mother asked
"positive!" ashton exclaimed
a few minutes later, a tiny baby wrapped in a blanket came to ashton's mother's arms.
"what's her name?" ashton said while staring at his sister
"her name is arabelle" his mother said quietly, making sure not to wake the baby up.
and with that, ashton smiled the rest of the ride home like a child who got ten buckets of ice cream and had the best day of their life
because the truth was,
ashton was the child, arabelle was the ice cream, and this was the best day of his life.
