My sister demanded I abort my baby so

she could be first. The rest of the

family turned on me. What happened next

left them in silence. After 7 months of

heartbreak, disappointment, and failed

tries, I was finally pregnant. The

second I told my family, the whole room

blew up with cheers. People hugging me,

clapping, crying. Everyone was so happy

except my younger sister, Serena. She

just froze. Her face twisted in rage.

Then she slammed her wine glass so hard

against the counter. It shattered

everywhere. You don't get it. She spat.

I'm supposed to be first, not you. The

room went silent. Nobody knew what to

say. Next morning, bang, bang, bang at

my door. I open it and there's Serena

holding a stack of papers. Abortion

appointments, three of them already

booked in my name. She shoved them

against Hugo's chest. My husband's

literally standing there half asleep in

his boxers and goes, "Pick one." Hugo

ripped them to pieces. She screamed and

stormed off. But that wasn't enough for

her. That Sunday, she called a family

meeting. And when I say meeting, I mean

19 relatives shoved into mom's living

room while Serena stood by the fireplace

like she was running a campaign. She had

a freaking PowerPoint. I'm not kidding.

Slides, bullet points, even graphs

titled, "How my sister is ruining my

life." I sat there thinking, "Is this

real life?" She ranted for 30 minutes

straight about how unfair it was that I

got pregnant first. She pointed at me

like I was the villain. Then she yelled,

"If she doesn't end it, I'm done with

all of you." Uncle Liam, who's a lawyer,

just shook his head and said, "Serena,

there is literally no law that says your

sister has to abort, so you can go

first." She burst into tears. The whole

family sat there in awkward silence.

Until finally, we all said, "Bye,

Serena." She stormed out, sobbing for

months. Nothing. Total silence. Then my

baby shower. The door slammed open.

Serena strutdded in. Massive pregnant

belly, smirking like she just won. And

she was wearing a t-shirt that said,

"First grandchild loading." The whole

room froze. Mom literally dropped the

cake knife. Serena spun around, showing

off her belly, grinning, "Surprise! I'm

almost due." Everyone just gawkked. I

told her my due date. 8 weeks away. She

snapped that hers was 10. I smiled. Her

face went blood red. She marched over,

grabbed my arm, leaned in, and

whispered, "Doesn't matter. I'll make

sure mine comes first." Then she just

walked out. 2 days later, mom called me

balling. Serena's roommate had spilled

everything. Serena had been ordering

sketchy chemicals online to induce labor

early. But that wasn't even the worst

part. She found some random girl off

Craigslist. Paid her to perform a

C-section in her living room with box

cutters, sterilized with vodka. Her

neighbor saw blood seeping under the

door and called 911. Serena nearly bled

to death. They had to do an emergency

hysterctomy. She'd never have kids

again. Her baby, born, barely breathing,

rushed to NICU. And when Serena woke up,

hooked to machines, the first thing she

did was call me. Her voice was weak and

raspy, but her words cut like knives. My

baby's dying because you couldn't wait

your turn. The family went to war. Half

said she was crazy. Half said I should

have kept my pregnancy quiet to spare

her feelings. One aunt even said I

should have aborted. Suddenly, my baby

was invisible. Everything was about

Serena and her sick baby. Then it got

even darker. Days before my due date, I

got admitted to the hospital. Serena's

baby was still fighting for his life in

the NICU. And every time I looked into

the hallway, there she was standing

there, not looking at her baby, just

staring at my stomach. Nurses told Hugo

she'd been asking creepy questions.

Where do they keep newborns? How long

are babies left alone? Which doors are

unlocked? Hugo lost it. He demanded

panic buttons, locks, guards outside our

door. He made the staff circulate

Serena's photo like she was on a wanted

poster. And still, she tried. She snuck

toward our room using an old visitor

badge, screaming that she had the right

to see me because we're sisters.

Security dragged her away, kicking and

clawing. Then contractions hit. I was

terrified she'd come bursting in. But

Hugo held my hand, crying with me,

refusing to let go. And finally, our

baby girl was born, screaming. Perfect,

alive. They clipped a tiny security tag

to her ankle that would set off alarms

if anyone even tried to move her. I

thought it was over, but the next

morning, a social worker walked in with

a clipboard and said, "Calm as anything,

if Serena can't keep her baby, would you

consider taking him?" My chest

tightened. My daughter was in my arms

and this woman was asking me to take the

same baby Serena had nearly carved out

with box cutters. I shook my head. No,

my baby's my only priority. So, they

placed him with his dad's family out of

state. Serena got locked in sight and I

thought, "Finally, it's done." But then

my phone buzzed. A voicemail. It was

Serena. Her voice was weak but dripping

with venom. You stole my baby's soul,

and I will never forgive
