A Visit to the Hospital

By Maria

I was walking through a hall with my sister Elizabeth, my brother Luis, and my dad. I didn't know were we were so I just looked around. The floor was white, and the walls were beige. My dad was holding my hand as we walked through a white door.

I saw my mom laying down on a bed. She was holding something in her hands. It looked like a pillow wrapped up with a pink, soft blanket. I couldn't take my eyes off my mom's hands. What was going on? "Lift her up Ernesto, I want her to see her new baby sister." My mom said smiling at me. I had my eyes wide open.

I thought, " A sister, a new baby sister, what if she didn't like me?" I wondered. I was also kind of exited because I didn't know what a little sister looked like. I already had a seven-year-old brother and a six-year-old sister.

I was the youngest in my family. My dad lifted me up and sat me next to my mom and my new little sister. I was looking at my new sister and she was looking at me. I didn't know how to act, but she was really pretty. She had curly black hair, big black eyes and long eyelashes. Her mouth was so small and pink, and her nose was also small and shiny. Suddenly I realized I was staring at her.

I then looked at my mom and dad with a big smile and my face. My sister and my brother were both smiling at my little sister too. She seemed to smile at us as if she knew we her family. That time was one of the most memorable times in my life because I was feeling happy, and had butterflies in my stomach. I new she liked me that day.
