Delivering a baby

Babies and Pregnancy always amaze girls, or maybe only in Indonesia, but yeah all friends i know are soooo into babies, they're cute.

I thought none delivered a baby at home anymore until I heard my neighbor did. When I asked my aunty she said because it was cheaper.
I remember now that my host mom in Sontas delivered her 3rd child, Tiara at home too. Mom was a year older than me, sometimes it’s hard to call her mom, awkward.
It was a rainy night with lighting when Ella, mom’s sister [of course she was much younger than me], came into the room Maya and I were in. She had a serious face at that time and then she told me that mom was struggling downstairs to deliver the baby. Few times after, Ella went to check on mom and came back with the news that it was a baby girl. Maya was in disbelief, maybe because someone actually has delivered a baby in the she was in and all the struggling time we were upstairs waiting in silence.
It was January 3rd, exactly on Fernando’s birthday and we had a party for him. We went to the party quite soon after the baby arrived, went thru the rain. Did I wear my condom-look-alike raincoat? The party was more to a quiet party, no music no dance and as far as I can recall he got a weird birthday cake lol.

It’s been more than a year and I wonder how Tiara looks like now, maybe just like Ricci her older sister.
