April

Rosaura and Pedro had a son named Roberto. Though he is a product of my true love and my sister, I really do care for Roberto. I was the only person home when Rosaura gave birth to him. Pedro was out to get Dr. Brown, and Mama Elena and Chencha went to the market to buy supplies for the baby. Unfortunately, Pedro was detained by federals fighting in the war on his way to doctor Browns, and Mama Elena and Chencha were unable to leave the market because a shooting broke out. Because of the war, none of them were home when Rosuara gave birth, and I was left as the only one who could possibly help her. At first, I had no idea what to do, but then, Nacha came to my rescue and whispered to me everything I needed to know to safely deliver Rosaura’s child. Roberto was born healthy thanks to Nacha’s helping me; however, Rosaura was unable to produce milk for him. I tried to find alternate food sources for him, when I realized a miracle. I was able to produce milk for Roberto! I was able to nourish Roberto, but because of the strange circumstances, I only told Pedro about it. He helped me feed Roberto without anyone knowing. I was very proud the day Roberto was Baptized. It was a great day, until I heard my Mama say the worst possible thing. She said she would make Pedro, Rosaura, and Roberto leave the ranch and live in San Antonio! She cannot possibly do that to me! How can I live without the people I love! And even worse: what will happen to Roberto if I cannot continue feeding him?! Baby Roberto http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EXopv5BJbnY/Sj3MPQx2XSI/AAAAAAAAA9o/A4m8D7M_7Nw/s400/mexican-baby.jpg
