Noemi stared at the tiny human being in her mothers arms. It was swaddled in blue blankets and its face was red and kind of scrunched up. She wasn't sure if she wanted this little being to be her buddy. It didn't really look like fun.
The little girl tilted her head to the side and watched her mom for a moment. Her mothers face was pale and drenched in sweat, but she looked so happy.
»Do you hurt?«, she asked her softly so she would not wake the babe.
Isabella smiled softly.
»Giving birth hurts, baby girl, but once I held your brother in my arms all the pain was forgotten … it was so worth it,« she told her.
Noemi blinked.
»If he hurt you he cant be my buddy,« she declared.
Stumped Isabella and Jonathan stared at their daughter.
»But …,« Jonathan started to say only to be stopped by Noemi's next words.
»He is still my brother though … I shall name him Pumpkin«
Isabella snorted.
»You can certainly call him this. But on his birth certificate will stand the name Matthew,« she managed to say before dissolving into a giggle fit which made the nurse rush in.
