My Monologue

Pace… stop… pace

My heart beats rapidly,

Thump, thump, thump

Where am I again? Oh right, the hospital

My mother is in that room, the room right in front of me

Pace… stop… pace

I’m nervous…

Is everything going to be ok?

Thump, thump, thump

I looked at my father, he looked back at me

I can tell he is feeling the same way

Scared, nervous, and hopeful

I want to be next to her, she seems to be in pain

The door opens

My heart stops

I ran, I ran right into the room

My mother was ok

Relieve

I heard a cry

Wahhhh

In her arms, a baby

Not just any baby, my newborn brother!

Welcome to the world!
