White dress

Holding a man doll, Jasmine pushed it front, toward the woman doll in her big sister’s hand. “I have missed you, Jennifer,” she spoke, making her voice deeper.

“Me too, Bill,” her big sister replied in her voice, also pushing the doll front. “How was the work?”

“Tiring. But if you give me a kiss, I will be rested.”

“Hmm,” big sister Lola’s face dropped slowly. She smiled back, “Sure, but only one.” Then brought the doll closer, and smacked her lips loud. “Better now?”

“Yes,” Jennifer smiled. “How is our baby?”

“Waaaa, waaaa,” middle sister Hayley begun crying like a baby, holding bigger baby doll in her hand, bringing it closer.

“Here, and I think she is hungry,” Lola smiled again.

After hearing Hayley’s cries for a few more seconds, Jennifer burst into laughter. She even let go of her doll and laid on her back. Her sisters let out a small laughter, not because they understood anything, but as reaction.

“What happened?” Lola finally asked after half a minute.

Jennifer put her elbows on the ground and lifted her head slightly. Then using her hands, sit back up and dried her eyes, “I just found it funny how baby is bigger than the parents.”

Both girls smirked after hearing this. “Yea, it is a bit funny,” Hayley replied.

“No,” Jennifer disagreed, “It is not funny, it is hilarious!”

Pulling back their head slightly, they confusedly looked at her.

“Where did you learn that word from?” Lola smiled, but her smile quickly faded.

“Well, yesterday I found an old book in living room and it had that word. I asked mom and she said it meant same as funny, but… bigger,” she exclaimed, opening her arms to show the size.

“I thought you didn’t read,” Hayley asked while Lola looked a bit confused.

Jennifer frowned. “I am old enough! I am just 1 year younger than you and two years than big sister. Right?”

She pointed the question to Lola, since they both trusted her as the oldest, but she did not reply. She only covered her mouth and rushed toward bathroom.

“Big sis?!” both girls panicked and followed her, standing on the open door of bathroom, watching Lola. She held her head down and vomited a bit.

Jennifer rushed back to bedroom and called her mother, who had opened the shelf and was looking inside with a worried expression.

“Mom,” Lola touched her waist, “Big sis just threw up.”

Hearing this, mother closed the shelf and rushed to bathroom. Since Lola had worn only bathroom slippers, she entered without one, not even caring. Lola’s head was still down on toilet, her hair slowly falling from her back toward her cheeks.

Mother pulled her hair back gently, not letting it fall, “Honey, are you alright?”

Before she could reply, Lola gagged again, but nothing came. “I don’t know mom,” she spoke finally. “I suddenly felt sick.”

“Suddenly?” mother’s voice tone changed. She spoke in calmer tone, “Alright honey. I will make you something. Gargle your mouth and lay down a bit, okay?”

Lola nodded and approached sink slowly.

“Mom, we should take her to doctor,” Jennifer spoke in demanding tone.

“She is right,” Hayley also agreed, both looking at her in the eyes as she exited the bathroom.

Looking down, she walked back to bedroom, “I will talk to your father about this. And while waiting…” she let out a sigh, “Jennifer, follow me to my room please. And Hayley, stay with your sister.”

“Okay,” both replied and did as she asked. Hayley’s face dropped after hearing her mother’s words, but she just patted Jennifers back and turned toward Lola.

…

“Jennifer,” she asked, both sitting on the bed next to each other, “You told me a few days back that you bleed. Are you better now? Do you have any pain?”

Jennifer looked down, drowning in shame. Feeling her emotions, mother gently touched her shoulder, “Dear, this is not something to be ashamed of. It is normal. Just tell me if you are in pain.”

Hearing her words, Jennifer gathered her courage and smiled, “No mom. I feel good. I felt good yesterday too.”

Mother nodded for a few seconds and moved her hand on Jennifers shoulder gently, patting her. Then forced a smile and stood up, “Then I have a gift for you.”

“A gift?” her eyes brightened up.

“Yes,” mother opened the shelf and took a white dress with flowers all over it.

“No,” Jeniffer frowned, “Mom, I don’t want that.”

“I understand honey, but it is not bad, trust me. A mother would never want something bad for her child.”

“B-but…” she stuttered a bit, “I have heard my sisters… It hurts.”

“No, no,” mother put the dress on the bed and held her shoulders on the both sides, “Honey, it doesn’t hurt. You might…” she stopped for a second, “…even like it. Do it for your mother, alright?”

Jennifer nodded sadly and stood up, taking her shirt and pants off to wear the dress.

At that moment, they heard door lock click. “You father is back, be quick and wear the dress,” she replied and rushed to the door.

…

“Where is everyone?” he entered the house but saw no one. He even slammed the door I anger.

“Here,” his wife entered the room, “Sorry, I was with the girls.”

“Hmm,” he looked out but saw none, “Where are they? I am I in the mood for some father-daughter time.”

“Erm,” she came closer and whispered a few words in his ear.

“Already? Okay, I will call James. She is from your blood… What did I expect,” he talked sarcastically.

At this moment, Jennifer entered the hall, exiting the bedroom in the dress her mother asked to wear. Seeing this, his eyes lightened up, “She is…” he smiled.

“Y-yes dear,” his wife replied, looking down.

“Alright, now this is good. Give us an hour,” he said, walking toward Jennifer with quick steps. “Go in the room.”

Jennifer did as he asked without questioning. He followed her in and locked the door from behind. “Lay down and keep your mouth shut. You don’t want to anger father, right?” he said, removing his belt and taking his pants off.
