Kaminoniki - Chapter 21 Chapter 17
After the parturition period, Darwin’s mom finally gives birth to Darwin’s little sister.
Darwin’s dad stormed into the patine’s room to see his wife and his daughter. Follow up by Darwin slowly walks into the room.
“Come here sweety, come to say hi to your sister, isn’t she the cutest!” Darwin’s mom notices Darwin and asks him to walk over to see his little sister.
“O…Okay…” Darwin feels a little upset after hearing his mother call the baby sister “cutest” instead of him. This is a feeling that a lot of childhood experiences when they hear their parent call the siblings or other kid cute or other words that have the same meaning.
“Come, baby, say hi!” Darwin’s mom is so happy that she didn’t even realize that she has upset her little boy.
“H…Hi…” Darwin is feeling shy and at the same time nervous along with a little bit of sadness, but he knows if he acts anything abnormal that will break his mother’s heart. Therefore he is keeping his cool when he faces the baby.
“Hi! My little brother!” Darwin’s mom imitates a baby voice to interact with Darwin.
“WOW! The baby talks!”Darwin’s dad exaggerates.
“Haha…”Darwin gigs a little.
“Hey honey, what do you want to name her?” Darwin’s mom looks at her husband while passing the baby to him.
“Uhu? Name?! Oh…! I…I don’t have one yet…”Darwin’s dad takes over the baby and awkwardly answers.
“What! Didn’t we discussed this before?” Darwin’s mom is mad and is a little frustrated because the hospital will not give them any time to think of about it at home.
“I’m sorry…”Darwin’s dad feels sorry for his beloved wife to sacrifice her body to give birth to his child and he can not finish one simple task.
“You…ahhhh!” Darwin’s mom can’t control her emotions after childbirth.
“It is fine baby, I swear I will come up with a beautiful name for my baby girl as soon as possible!” Darwin’s dad is trying everything he can to comfort her wife.
“Mom, can I give her a name?” Darwin weakly asks when he saw his parent is about to get into a bad fight in the hospital and he also wants to help out the family even though he doesn’t like his newborn sister that much.
“You?” Darwin’s mom and dad both looked at him and looks confused and disbelieved.
“Yeah, I have a good name for the baby! Trust me! Please!” Darwin feels deeply betrayed by his parent and that hurts his little pure heart even more.
“Okay, fine, but don’t play around!” Darwin’s mom said.
“I swear! I won’t!” Darwin almost cry when he heard what his mother said.
“Don’t worry son, no matter what, dad got your back!” Darwin’s dad gives a gentle pet on Darwin’s head while the other hand holds the baby, “What is it?”
Darwin’s mom angerly looks at her husband, it seems like she is saying, “Its all your fault for not have a name ready!”
“Let me heard it, baby!” Darwin’s mom softly comforts Darwin.
“Ok…kay…I’m thinking to call her ‘Ann’!” Darwin finally said it.
“And…? A.N.D?” Darwin’s confuses.
“…”Darwin’s dad doesn’t seem to confuse about the name, but rather that he seems to know which ‘Ann’ Darwin is talking.
“No mom! ‘A.N.N’! It means that with her arrival to the family, our family will be closer to each other than before. You can think of it the word ‘AND’; me ‘Ann’ you. ‘Ann’ dad!” Darwin explains.
“‘Ann’…?!” Mom and dad both start to interpret the meaning of this name.
“Wow! What a wonderful name you came up with baby!” Darwin’s dad is the first one to respond.
“Okay! It is a beautiful name for her and the family! You are surely a smart kid, sweety!” Darwin’s mom finally gets the idea of the name and holds up one of her arms to grab onto one of Darwin’s hand and pulls him toward her, then sits up a little bit and give him a gentle kiss on Darwin’s forehead, “I love you, baby! You are Ann’s hero!”
“I love you too mommy!” Darwin gives his mother a big hug.
When people are busy, time always passes fast; after Darwin’s mom give birth to Ann, Darwin’s mom only took half of a month off from work and then return back to her working position, leaving Ann to Darwin to take care, along with her husband.
Darwin’s dad is an archeology hunter, he travels around the world looking for relic and goes in there to look for valuable remains from the ancient time, then sell them to the government.
When Darwin turns 9 years old and Ann turns 4 years old, that’s when both of the parents thinks it is safe enough to leave the kids in the house while they go to work. If anything wrong in the house the cops will arrive within 1 minute!
Today is when both of the parents are busy from work and cannot stay home to take care of two of the kids, and they ask the bigger brother, Darwin, to babysit his little sister.
“Hey, Darwin! What are you doing!” Ann asks.
She loves his brother because he is too little to do anything in the house, so she also asks her brother to do it for him, and her brother often do help her out; therefore, she likes her brother! Keep in mind she is only 4 years old, so she doesn’t really know the idea of hate of love from other people; she just knows that her brother helps her when she needs help, that means to her that her brother is the best and she should like her brother.
“Nothing! And don’t call me by my name!” Darwin feels a little annoyed, but he doesn’t want her to tell mom that he bullies her.
“Okay…I want to go to the park! Please, can we go?” Ann asks.
“No!” Darwin replies with one word and goes back to what he was doing.
“Please!!! Please!!! please!!! I won’t tell mommy that you took me to the park! Please!!!” Ann begs.
“No!” Darwin rejects her again.
“Please!!!!! Only one time! It is boring in the house!” Ann continues to beg.
“Fine…” Darwin puts down his book and gets ready to go out, “Put on your shoe quick, I won’t wait for you!” Darwin wants to go out too, but because Ann said it first and he doesn’t want to lose his cool, so he acted as if he doesn’t want to go.
“Yay!!! You are the best brother in the world!!” Ann shouts with happiness.
