“Won't you hold your brother, Mai?”

 

Why? She thought, He looks like a shriveled raisin. She just shook her head.

 

“Don't you think he'll grow up to be a handsome young man?” Mai regarded the baby. At fifteen, she was old enough to be its mother. Mai tilted her head to the side; the features on the baby were soft, not harsh and pointed like her own. Why was it the son had to get all the good looks? It wasn't like he had to look pretty, be soft and polite. Be a nice and proper lady, as their mother was always telling her to be.

 

Lucky bastard.

 

It wasn't that she hated the kid. But what possible empathy could she summon for something fifteen years her junior that would be showered with praise and affection no only for being a son - but being a handsome son as well. The baby looked up at her and gurgled some cooing baby noise.

 

“Sure Mom, handsome. Handsome for a raisin.”

 

“Mai!”

 

Mai turned on her heel and started to leave, “You hold the baby Mom, it's yours and I have to practice.”
