I Was Born As The Second Daughter Novels & Stories

which my parents know as the basement. To me….. there's no difference between a dungeon and the basement where I do sleep in. Currently. I'm twenty-four years old, and very soon I'll be celebrating my birthday at twenty-five. The day I was born, is still the same day that my two younger ones were born. We all share the same birth month, which is amazing….. but I kinda hate my birthday month because I stopped celebrating my birthday for a long time now. When my Mama gave birth to my two younger ones….. she automatically forbids me from celebrating my birthday.

Jaya was silent as she gazed at me with anger in her eyes. "When you told me you were pregnant again after the birth of our first daughter, I was elated because I thought the child would be a boy. Unfortunately, you disappointed me again by giving me a female child just like you disappointed me when you gave birth to our first daughter. However, the birth of our second daughter was more painful to me cos you raised my hopes with your assurance of giving a male child and dashed them," I paused.

She gestured for us to sit, and despite the storm raging inside me, I obeyed. Aaron remained standing, his body rigid, his eyes burning with emotions he wasn’t ready to voice. Mother took a deep breath before beginning. “Years ago, I gave birth to a daughter.” Her voice wavered slightly, emotion creeping into every word. “My only daughter. Darya.” Hearing her name, our sister’s name sent a chill down my spine. Aaron and I exchanged glances, confusion tightening my chest. We had grown up knowing it was just the two of us, Mother’s twin sons. Never had we heard of another sibling.

"Do you know that I wasn't supposed to live in the first place? That I was just a miracle saved by my father." I chuckled softly. "When my Mom gave birth to us, I came second after Vance but my heartbeat stopped as soon as the world welcomed me. But then my father——my Dad didn't give up on me. He tried to revive me even if it was nearly impossible. In the end, I survived almost holding on to the string of life."

There was no way Lyra gave birth to this girl. “Are you sure she is your daughter?” I asked her as her daughter ran towards the kid’s section. “Yes. Why?” “She doesn’t look like you in any way.” “Oh. She is my husband’s daughter from his second marriage.” She smiled. Second marriage. Wait, what? What did she mean by the second marriage? “Second marriage.” I was astonished to hear she married someone who was already married before, not once, but twice. That was one of the absurd things that would ever happen.

She set the papers aside, her hands trembling slightly as she clasped them together. "It all began twenty years ago. Luna Irene and I got pregnant around the same period, but her delivery date was earlier than mine. Unfortunately, she had complications so she didn't deliver until a few days later, which was when I was in labor. Luna Irene gave birth first, then you came later, twelve hours later. "Oh," I nodded, letting her words sink in. "I remember those days vividly," my mother continued, her eyes distant as if she were reliving the past. "After you and Selena were born, we were filled with joy. A few days later, it was time for your immunizations…"

I got up and stood in front of the of the microphone. "My daughter has gone no where. She is with me. When I gave birth to her, I knew she was special. Twice she fought from death and won but again life just gives a second chance. She lost the battle third time. I saw her today and she was content. Sad yet happy. Weird, right? She turned into ash on my lap and I ate those as-shes so that she stays with me. Within me.", I stated and for the first time today I cried. I only realized that how much pain I was in.

I pointed towards my so called father "you both have only give me birth.. I'm your mistake right? You told me that I'm your mistake.. I was the result of both of your physical needs.. You both never treat me as your daughter. Yes you both gave me a house to live, give me food to eat, give me clothes to wear and make me educated.. But what about your love? Did you ever bothered when I fall sick In my childhood? "I told them at this time I'm crying profusely

Gemma asked, her body shivering slightly “That this second born child, was born to have her line continued but not as a powerful FAE. You see, the first born daughter was to be the Astrid after her mother. Even more powerful than her mother actually and so she would be seeked out, her line murdered for their power. The second daughter, by the name of Lily, lived. She grew up and it is her line that went on until you’re mother Lily and father Peter” “So, I’m the direct descendant of Lily? That means I’m not the Astrid? Wait...what happened to the first daughter?”

" No . I belong to my mother's side of the family by birth right . I wasn't baptised Catholic. " "I'm confused." " I was baptised twice. First in an Anglican church as an infant and as a toddler Catholic. When my mother gave birth to me she almost died with me. So in order to break any curse, there has to be a rebirth of some sort. I'm the only little darling who was born via C section and out of wedlock who almost died. " " What were the circumstances?" "Pre eclampsia. " "The same condition you had when you gave birth the twins?"
