Desires Die Hard

I Am Raymond

Anya went to the bathroom to clean herself up.

Then, she held the little Sherry in her arms and walked downstairs.

When Nathaniel and Eudora saw their mom and their little sister, they all dropped their toys and surrounded Anya.

"Mom, look! Sherry is smiling at me!" Nathaniel was excited to see Sherry, who was smiling and biting her fingers.

Anya patted Nathaniel on his head. "Sherry likes you a lot, doesn't she?"

"Can I have her in my arms?" he asked.

Eudora stopped him, "Nathaniel, no!"

"Why not?"

In fact, Eudora wanted to hold Sherry in her arms too. But she was worried that Nathaniel and she were not strong enough. They were only little kids, after all.

She didn't want to hurt Sherry by accidentally dropping her onto the ground.

"Sherry was little and fragile," she thought.

"Nathaniel, you're too little for it," explained Eudora.

"No, I'm not!" Nathaniel didn't agree. "I'm a little grown man!"

He asked again with hope in his eyes, "Mom, can I have Sherry?"

Anya answered, "Sure. But you should be careful."

"I will!" Nathaniel was excited.

Ellie also reminded, "Be careful. She's little."

"Sure!"

Anya carefully put Sherry into Nathaniel's arms and supported him.

As Nathaniel put his arms around Sherry, a sense of responsibility as a brother grew in his heart.

"I will protect Sherry and Eudora in the future!"

Soon, Eudora wanted to have a try too.

"Mom! It's my turn!"

Anya had to agree too, "Eudora, be careful too."

"Sure!" she nodded.

Eudora wasn't as powerful as Nathaniel.

"Mom, Sherry is heavy!"

Anya and Ellie both laughed. "You won't find her heavy when you're more grown-up!"

Eudora nodded, "I want to grow up soon!

"Then we can take Sherry out to have fun together. And I can share my toys with her!"

"My good Eudora!" Anya kissed her on her forehead.

Anya was truly happy that there was no jealousy at all between the three.

She and Evan were spending more time on the little Sherry those days. But Nathaniel and Eudora never complained about that.

In fact, all of these three babies were her treasures.

She loved each one of them equally.

"Anya, enjoy your breakfast first. The babysitter and I will take care of the kids."

"Sure."

Anya walked into the dining room.

But the moment she sat down, a message came in.

It was from a strange number. "Mrs. Welton, excuse me. I'm Raymond. I'm wondering if you're available for a talk this afternoon. I'd like to meet you."
