Twenty-one

Mum’s getting a proper bump now! It’s really exciting. Really, really.
Honestly.
But there is a small part of me - a tiny part - that is worried. You see, I haven’t said this before, but I kind of know how Dawn feels. It’s been me here all alone during the week since forever. I know that Dawn and Ben come at weekends and sometimes the weekend comes so quick it seems like they’re always here. But on Mondays to Fridays it’s just me and Mum and Dad. And soon, there will be someone else too. It makes me feel a bit like there’s jelly in my tummy, wobbling around. I feel nervous and excited at the same time.
A tiny, tiny part of me is worried that Mum and Dad won’t have time for me anymore. Does that make sense? Am I wrong to worry?
