My mom was about to give birth. My father was in a panic, the maids told me he was also like this the last time as well. It seems like two of the servants were healers. Both of them had rank C cla.s.s in healing. They seem to be the ones who were also tending to my mom when she was giving birth to me. As I waited at the other end of the door, I could hear one of the healers telling my mother to push. Though I haven"t witnessed any births first hand, I did understand what might be happening beyond this door. I have heard some men say that childbirth is a more disastrous scene that any battle.
So I stood there with my dad waiting for the news. While we waited I heard some horrible screams coming from my mom. It was like she was being tortured, was childbirth really that painful? I then noticed a bunch of maids coming in and out of the room, bringing towels and water. It took an hour I think for my mom"s screaming to stop. I wasn"t really sure about how long it truly took since it felt like a long time while I waited.
But finally, it was over, and I could hear the gentle cry of a newborn, the childbirth was successful. Dad and I quickly entered the room and saw mom holding the newborn child. It was a cute baby girl my dad swooped in and looked at my mom.
"Good job Serina." Mom looked at dad and showed a gentle smile. "Here Leo our daughter."
Mom pa.s.sed my baby sister to dad who held her gently. Seeing this scene made everyone watching show a smile on their faces as they looked at the new daughter of the family.
I now have a little sister. It took a while for that thought to sink in. So I slowly approach my mom and dad while looking at the newborn baby. My dad smiled at me which made me smile as well.
It took some time to pick her name, I was also giving out some advice as to what name to give. After a while, everyone decided to name my little sister "Sarah, Sarah Regius."

My little sister had brown hair like dad and emerald green eyes like mom. As opposed to me who had Vermillion hair like mom and blue eyes like dad. The first thing I noticed as I look at her was that she was so cute... I couldn"t understand what was coming over me, but she really looked extremely cute in my eyes. Seeing as my little sister was just recently born my mom told me that she couldn"t practice with me for a while but I was ok with that.
In fact, I wanted to have more time to play around with my sister. Mom then told me that even though she couldn"t practice with me I mustn"t neglect my studies in magic. Of course, I won"t neglect training and practicing magic since I need to do that to become stronger.

For the past few months since my sister was born my father kept on smiling and laughing more frequently than often. He also kept on saying that he had such cute children. After sword training, he would go and play with Sarah and make funny faces. It was quite fun watching them from the side. Sometimes my mom would look at me and say, "don"t be jealous Edge. Here come and play with us." My mom thinks the reason I was looking at the side was because of jealousy.
Well if I was a normal four-year-old who had suddenly gained a little sister who gets all the attention I would definitely be jealous. But I had memories of my former life and was way more mature than any four-year-old boy. Oh well if they think I"m jealous I guess that"s alright.

My sister was now one year old. Both my parents were a little downhearted because little Sarah wasn"t speaking yet. It was because when I was one-year-old I could already speak but I"m a special case.
Still, watching them say that they were bad parents was a little bit heartbreaking. So I decided to cheer them up any way I can. My sister will eventually talk so, for now, I just need to continue doing my best.
