My mom, dad, and Brooke all pull up in their car, and Becky and I are in mine. Once I’m parked, I pull her seat from my car and carry it into the house, with Becky skipping along next to me. “Brooke, her car seat is by the door for the morning.”

“Great, thanks, bro.” She walks into the kitchen to order pizza. Mama promised Becky pizza and baking for tonight, so that’s what we’re all doing.

I put her Sophia show on while we wait for the pizza, and slowly move into the kitchen. “Mama, I think she’s jealous of Beau.” I tell her what happened at the hospital, and my parents tell me it’s quite normal at first, and that once we show her that she’s still important, she’ll come around.

“It’s hard at first,” she says. “I remember when Brooke was born, Keaton was so mad. He had been the baby for years, and all of a sudden he was no longer the youngest in the family. To make things worse, they can’t play with them the way they think they can in the beginning. They have this vision that a baby will come along and they’ll be able to do all these things. As you know, it just doesn’t work that way.”

I nod. “Yeah, I guess I can see that from the conversation that took place in the waiting room. I don’t think she expected him to be so small.”

“Mama, do you guys need me? I want to go out with Amelia tonight.”

“You go on, we’ll be fine,” Mama tells her.

“Thanks, Mama.” She kisses her and runs to the door, texting her friend.

“Don’t forget you need to drop Becky off in the morning,” Mama shouts.

“I won’t,” she shouts back from the porch.

“When you gonna kick her ass out and make her grow up?” I ask my parents.

“She’s almost done with her degree. Once she has it, then she’s on her own,” my father says. “I already warned her.”

I roll my eyes. “I love her dearly, but she can be so immature sometimes.”

“Yeah, well, we went two for four on the mature kids. The other two are getting there,” Mama says with laughter.

The doorbell rings. Becky shouts, “Pizza!” I jog into the living room to answer the door before she can. There’s a young guy at the door holding one of those pizza bags that keeps it hot.

I open the door, taking the pizza from him.

“My name’s Becky, and I became a big sister today.”

The kid’s brows shoot up as he looks down at her like he has no clue what to say or how to react to this kid. He finally says, “Cool, enjoy your pizza.”

I shut the door, and Becky skips off to the kitchen.

After dinner, we cleaned up from the pizza and made two batches of cookies. One batch of chocolate chip and the other peanut butter. They are both Becky’s favorites. Now, Mama is upstairs giving Becky a bath. I promised her when they were done we would watch a movie together on the couch.
