Gabby is acting all weird
and Anna is being moody
Even Dad seems nervous

It’s just not the right time.

I know Ben will call
and I know I should tell
my Dad about him

but I can’t make the words come out.

That’s when Gabby clears her throat
and gives my Dad a “look”.

He covers her hand with his and
tells Anna and I that he loves us very much
and that won’t change and
blah, blah, blah
and that Gabby is pregnant.

I think I am supposed to be
happy
but I’m not
I think
there may never be a place for me here
and if that is true

then where exactly is my place?
