Dad was arguing with Mom again. I could feel how angry he was, even from behind the door. "If you're not feeling well, go to the hospital. What's the point of telling me?" he snapped. "I promised Lily I'd be there for her birthday. I can't be late. You're not actually jealous of a kid, are you?" After losing his temper, Dad stormed out without even looking back. I rushed into the room, a little worried, and asked Mom, "Lily's birthday is today too. Can I still celebrate mine?" Mom smiled and said yes, telling me to pack my things. She was going to take me to the amusement park. But just as I got back to my room and put on my little backpack, I heard the sound of something heavy hitting the floor. I ran over and saw Mom lying on the floor. Blood was all over the floor. My baby brother came out of Mom's tummy.
