EPILOGUE
I didn't want to lie to anyone, at first. I tried so hard to get Cry to take care of the child. And what a beautiful baby she was. I ended up caring for her and, later, telling people that I was the mother. Seeing that I had been as locked in the house as Cry had been during her pregnancy, nobody had any reason not to believe me.
Of course, Tawny was a year old before I gave up on Cry taking care of her. She seemed just so disinterested. She smiled at her, but she had no attachment whatsoever. She didn't even remember giving birth to her. She just remember being "sick" and at the hospital.
It made me so miserable to see that distant look in Cry's eyes when she looked at Tawny. I wanted her so much to love that baby. Why? I honestly couldn't say. I hardly could handle Cry. But I wanted her to grow up, even the little bit she'd been, again. I didn't want to take care of three children, even if Kylie had a father and was extremely older for her age. In actuality, Kylie took care of Cry more than I did. She seemed to be able to handle her better than I could.
All I know is that we were suddenly a family. All of us. Tawny, Cry, Kylie, David, Eddie and me. A strange family. But a family all the same. And I didn't know how to deal with that fact. Cry had come into my world and turned it upside down. We were once somewhat normal. I had a father, a brother, a sister. I even had a mother, who had died of cancer. And that was how I would forever want to remember my family.
