"Angel, the baby is going to be a part of our family,
whether you want her to be or not. That's not going to change. I need you to
help me get the nest ready." She patted Angel's head. "You'll always
be my special girl."
Angel crinkled up her nose. "Can I go play with my
friends now, Mommy?"
"Yes, but make sure you're back in time for
supper."
Angel hurriedly hopped out of the garden. She scurried over
to the flower garden, seeing Butterfly sitting on top of a sunflower. "Hi,
Butterfly." She waved.
Butterfly flew over to her and landed in front of her.
"I was waiting for you, Angel. What do you want to do today?"
Angel shrugged. "I don't know." She sat down and
put her face in her hands.
"Don't you feel well, Angel?" Butterfly asked
worriedly.
"I feel fine, Butterfly."
"What's the matter then?" She tipped a wing in
Angel's direction. "You look so sad."
Angel
frowned. "Mommy's having a baby."
