Chapter Six : New Baby
"How much longer before the baby comes, Auntie Taralin?" Marina asked her aunt as they sat in the hospital waiting room.
"I don't know sweetheart, that depends on your baby brother or sister, it could be an hour,or longer." Tara-Lynn answered.
"That's forever." Marina said, making her aunt smile.
Betty had gone into labor with her third child three hours ago. Though the baby was active during the pregnancy, he or she seemed to be taking its time being born. Tara-Lynn who lived permanently in Manhattan , New York had flown in a week before, knowing her newest niece or nephew would soon be born, and wanting to be there for the birth. Tara-Lynn had picked up the twins from daycare and had been at the hospital ,for about an hour,with them.
"Can we go see Mama?" Lex asked worried about his mother.
"Not, yet Lex,but don't worry, your daddy's in there, so she's not by herself." Tara-Lynn said,reassuring her nephew.
"OK." Lex said seeming satisfied with the answer.
"Do you guys think , its gonna be a boy, or a girl?" Tara-Lynn asked the twins, to distract them.
"I want a sistur, so, a girl." Marina answered quickly , having been asked that question a lot over the past few months.
" I think it will be a boy,cause I want a bruthur." Lex said.
The three were soon joined by Claire, and another hour and a half passed,when a grinning Daniel walked through the door of the delivery section, and over to his Mother, Sister and first born's.
"It's a boy!" Daniel said.
"Congratulations!" Tara-Lynn said hugging her older brother. Claire hugged Daniel too, then he turned to Lex and Marina.
"Your, Mama's a little tired, so you can't see her yet. But would you like to meet your little brother?" Daniel asked the twins knowing they were excited about meeting the new baby.
"Yes!" They said at the same time.
Daniel then took their hands and led them to the hospital nursery, Claire and Tara-Lynn following after them. Once they reached the nursery Daniel pointed out a baby with dark brown wisps of hair and blue eye's, other than his eye color he mostly resembled Betty.
"He's so beautiful ." Claire said admiring her newest grandchild.
"Did you decide on a name?" Tara-Lynn asked, as she admired her newborn nephew.
"Yeah, its Daniel Nicholas Suarez-Meade, we'll call him Nicky." Daniel said as he looked proudly at the newest member of his family.
Three Days Later
"Who'd of thought we'd have three kids." Betty said looking down at a sleeping Nicholas. They'd just finished tucking in Marina and Lex and were now in the nursery checking on the youngest, and newest Suarez-Meade. They'd bought him home earlier in the day, and it was his first time sleeping in the nursery.
"Well, I've always wanted a big family, and having three kids with the woman I love, is the greatest thing in the world." Daniel said wrapping his arms around his wife's waist and gently kissing her neck.
"Careful, Mr. Meade, three kids is all we can handle right now." Betty said teasingly.
They took one last look on their newborn son then exited the room, after making sure the baby monitor was turned on.
Three months later
"Mama, wanna watch sesame street with me?" Marina asked.
"Not, now sweetie, I have to give Nicky a bath." Betty said.
"Where's daddy?" Marina asked.
"He's making Nicky's breakfast." Betty said as she undressed Nicholas.
"Aww, I want someone to watch Elmo with me." Marina said pouting, she couldn't understand why, her parents were so focused on the new baby.
"Why, don't you watch it with Lex?" Betty said.
"Lex is playing with his trucks." Marina said.
"I'm sorry honey, you'll have to watch it by yourself." Betty said as she placed Nicky into his baby tub.
"That's not fair!" Marina said then stormed off. Betty sighed then continued to bathe her youngest.
When she was done, bathing and dressing Nicky she joined Daniel in the kitchen. She handed the baby to Daniel while she tested the warm bottle of milk, then handed it to Daniel too.
"I think we have to have a talk with Marina." Betty said thinking about how upset her daughter had gotten.
"About what?" Daniel asked as he put the bottle in Nicky's mouth.
"I think she's feeling frustrated about the new baby." Betty said.
"Why do you think that?" Daniel asked, then shifted Nicky to his shoulder, so he could burp him.
Betty explained Marina's behavior, a few minutes earlier, as well as similar small behavioral incidents, all occurring when Betty or Daniel were doing something for or with baby Nicholas.
"Oh,yeah, I can see that. What should we do about it?" Daniel said.
"I think we need to sit down and talk to her, I thought she and Lex were adjusting pretty well with Nicky, guess I was wrong." Betty said.
"We'll sort it out. After Nicky goes down for his afternoon nap, we'll talk to both of them." Daniel said.
"OK." Betty said.
After Nicky was fed and placed into his bassinet. Betty and Daniel called Lex and Marina into the living room, where they all sat down.
"Mari, Lex , we wanna know how you feel about the baby?" Daniel said.
"It's ok, to tell us how you're feeling, no matter what it is." Betty said.
"I like the baby, I like to help you and Mama take care of him, cause that's what big bruthur's do." Lex said.
"And you, Mari?" Daniel asked seeing the pout on Marina's face.
" I don't like the baby." Marina said pouting even more.
"Why don't you like the baby?" Betty asked her daughter.
"Because , you and Daddy don't love me anymore, you only spend time with Nicky, I don't want him." Marina answered tears starting to fall from her eye's.
"No, sweetie that isn't true, your Mama and I love you very much, having the new baby in the house doesn't change that." Daniel said.
"Your father's right, having Nicky around, doesn't make us love you, or your brother any less." Betty said.
"Then how come you don't play with me anymore, you only play with the baby." Marina said.
"Because, Nicky is a baby, and babies need mommies and daddies to take care of them until they can do things on there own. You and Lex were babies too,but now you can do lots of big girl and big boy stuff." Betty explained.
"Like what?" Marina asked.
"Like brushing your teeth without help, and tying your shoes ." Daniel said.
"Oh." Marina said.
"And you know what else you get to do." Betty said.
"What?" Lex and Marina both said.
"You get to teach Nicky how to do stuff, when he gets old enough." Betty said.
"Really?" Lex said.
"Yep, and you'll also get to play with him." Daniel said.
"OK...I guess we can keep him." Marina said.
