Chapter 2

Andre

“Max, Ellie! Wake up! Wake up!”, Mom yelled from her room (A lot of people called Elizabeth, Ellie Forhort),"Ellie come in here quick, Max, you stay outside of my room!” Max didn’t hear her and was still asleep. “What’s the matter?”, said Ellie. Then Mom told her what the matter was. Andre was being born!  A few hours later, Ellie came out holding Andre. Max was still sleeping. “Max, Wake up,” Ellie whispered softly." What is it finally Christmas?”, Max said. Apparently Max was still in a dream. “No, Andre is born.”, “Andre’s born! Where! Where!”, Max yelled. Max woke up and jumped out of bed right away. “Be quiet, you are going to wake him! He’s right here,” Ellie said holding Andre in her arms. “Can I hold him?” “Ask, Mom,” said Ellie. A few minutes later Max came out. “I can,” said Max eagerly.

“Be careful. He’s very fragile." I'm fine”, “Give me Andre. I’m giving him to Mom.”

“Fine, but I get him next. A little bit later Ellie and Max went back to sleep. They woke up to a crying baby, Andre. He was so loud he could be heard all around the house.

“Will he ever be quit?!” Max complained.

“This is what you said you wanted.” Mom stated

“I thought he would be for snuggling and sitting around and looking cute. If we’re having a bad day we just look at him and we get happy again. But all he does is sit around and cry and scream!” Max was getting annoyed with Andre already.

“Stop whining and get your shoes on so we can ride our bikes to school.” Ellie said.

“Anything to get the screaming baby away,” Max said.

They said their goodbyes and gave Mom a goodbye kiss, then they were off to school. Max was only in Kindergarten. He liked it very much unlike his sister who was in 6^th grade. Ellie was not the straight A student that she wishes that she was. Max has a red bike, he loves it and rides it in his spare time. Ellie’s bike is blue, that is her favorite color. Max’s teacher is Mrs. Baly. He loves her. She . Marley.
