The house was quiet—Dad in front of the TV, Mom in the kitchen. In her room, Jade, 5’7” and seven months pregnant, lay on the bed, exhausted by the weight that seemed too much for her small frame.

Cold and arrogant, he held a can loosely. He’d climbed the stairs not to help, but to mess with his green-eyed, blonde-haired sister, brushing off the steady support of our parents, Leo and Maya. Here in the States, pregnancy dragged on for what felt like twenty months, but right now, all he wanted was to pull her focus onto him.
