Chapter eighteen, part six
The first time she was at her parents house she heard that Christina was also pregnant. Deborah was happy for her older sister who had been married a couple months longer then she had. But Deborah watched Bernice and hoped for her that she would get pregnant too soon. The presure for her was now even higher then it was before. She prayed now for both Anna and Bernice. For Anna she prayed that she would find a husband and for Bernice that she would get pregnant.
Deborahs siblings were delighted with the news that not one but two baby's were coming. They would become aunt or uncle two times close by. Aidan beamed with proud about becoming a father and loved all the attention he recieved for it. He was already talking about how he loved to have son. That caused a huge discussion between her siblings. Everybody had an opinion what she or Christina should get. Deborah let it all go by. She wasn't really interessed in what she would get. At least that what she said. In reality she wanted a daughter. Not with the same reason Christina wanted one. She didn't care about dressing up a baby with dresses. A girl wouldn't take Evans place as much as a boy would. If she had to have a baby, then she preferred a girl. Sadly it wasn't up to her. She had to take whatever the Lord would give her.
