ARAGON CLAN

HECTOR APOLLO ARAGON

When I gave birth to Amari, I never really had any idea of how to be a good mother to her. When I first heard her cry, I was afraid I might not be able to calm her down. When I first touched her tiny hands and feet, I was afraid I might not be able to protect and take care of her. When I first saw her small and beautiful face, I was afraid I might hurt her. When I gave birth to her, my heart was full of fear and worry just because I never really thought of having her in the first place.

But when I first learned how to take care of her and I felt she was happy with the way I took care of her, that strength that everyone took from me was rebuilt.

They didn't stop me from leaving when I read Elena's text. I didn't even understand the last thing Donya Andrada, my grandmother, said to me, because of the haste.
