Vanessa's Memoir When my sister told me she was pregnat, I couldn't believe it. I couldn't put it in my mind that at the age of 15 I would be an aunt. My mind wasn't booting the information. But I couldn't change that idea because Feb.16 was the big day. When she spoke of the day, it made me feel as if her pregnace was a library book. That was when she was due. It came so fast, that it came to me like a mac truck. Feb. 16 was a day that I will never forget. The phone rang and my mother picked up the phone. "yes, o.k. call me when you get more news." She looked at me with a smile on her face but in her eyes I could see a fear that I have never seen before. I started to walk around pacing back and forth praying to myself. Every saint I can think of got praied to that day. I couldn't believe the time was now and my sister was going to have a baby. My sister was not only going to be a sister but a mother. A mother! In my eyes she was still my older sister who I looked upto. The one who would be my back bone; share secrets with me in her room late at night. Things started to swirl around my mind like a tornado. Questions that I didn't think about untill that moment. Would she be a good mother? Will she make it through this? What will the baby look like? Is it a boy or girl? There was no answers to be given to me. I just had to wait for her to have this baby. Worry came over me and I couldn't get it out. What if she didn't make it? What if the baby doesn't make it? What would I do with out my sister? I didn't know how to feel at that point. Was I suppost to be happy? Was I to be sad? Now thinking about it, it was normal. To have all these thoughts running through my head. But at that point in time, that was the only thing I could think about. I tried to read a book and work on something to get my mind off my sister, but I couldn't. The thought of her in pain and I couldn't be there for her was over bairing. I couldn't do anything but think about my sister. Time seemed so long. I couldn't wait for the phone ring and know that things were o.k. My mother finally and after continues harassment on my part; she took me to the hospital. I grabed my things and waited for her at the door with her keys. The drive to the hospital was unbairable to my mind. Thoughts flue into my head and out like cross winds. Finding a parking was a mission. But we finally found one. My mother parked the car and proceeded to take the keys out of the egnition when her phone rang. My heart started to race and I could feel my face lose color. My mother smiled and she started to cry. I knew my sister was o.k. She got off the phone and told me that my sister had a baby boy. I was relieved. I thanked God for my new baby nephew and having an angle protect my sister.
