Ema peeked through the slightly ajar door, her heart thumping with anticipation. She had been waiting for this moment ever since she learned that she would have a baby sister. With a deep breath, Ema pushed the door open and stepped inside. The room felt like a serene haven, and there, in the crib, lay her sister, Iris.
Iris stirred slightly, her eyes fluttering open, revealing a striking shade of blue that seemed to hold the promise of endless possibilities. Ema's heart swelled with a sense of wonder she couldn't quite explain. She reached out a tentative hand, her fingers brushing against Iris's soft cheek. "Hello, Iris," she whispered, her voice filled with awe and affection.
Iris gazed up at Ema, her tiny mouth forming a soft smile as if she recognized her sister. In that moment, Ema realized that this was the beginning of something extraordinary. She felt a rush of warmth, a connection that transcended words. "I promise to always be there for you," Ema murmured, her voice firm with determination.
Ema imagined the adventures they would embark on together—exploring the woods behind their house, building castles from cardboard boxes, and sharing secrets under a canopy of stars. She could already see them laughing, playing, and growing side by side. "We're going to have so much fun, Iris," she said, her eyes shining with excitement.
Ema sat down beside the crib, her heart full of hope and joy. She watched Iris drift back into a peaceful slumber, her tiny chest rising and falling with each breath. The world outside seemed to pause, and in that timeless moment, Ema knew that their journey together was just beginning. "Sweet dreams, little sister," she whispered, her voice a gentle lullaby.
Ema rose quietly, casting one last look at Iris before turning to leave. She felt a profound sense of purpose and a newfound strength she hadn't known before. With each step, her heart brimmed with the knowledge that she was now a big sister, ready to guide and protect Iris through life's adventures. As she closed the nursery door behind her, Ema knew that this was the start of a beautiful journey filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities.
