what's in the basement

I don't have any sister or brother....

I was listening to the sound carefully...it is really a baby crying.. something chill went down my spines. Did my parents are hiding something from me. Whose baby is that? Why my parents are hiding the baby down in the basement? Or is this house haunted?

Thousands of questions was running here and there in my mind. I wanted to go check it out, but I'm scared to my death. Should I call mother? I took my phone and dialled my mom's number. She picked up.

CALL

Me: Mom.... there is a baby crying down in the basement...I'm really scared...

Mom: Ava... what are you talking about? Don't play.

Me: Mom I'm fxxxing serious...plus there's no electricity...the sound is getting louder and louder.

Mom: Ok Ava. Calm down and listen to me... pull yourself together...be brave...what I want you to do is, go lock the basement door...and get back to your room and lock yourself in your room... whatever happens do not come out from your room.

Me: Mom but why there is a baby in the basement? Whose baby is that? And what do you mean by whatever happens?

Mom: Ava listen to me. Do as I say.

Quick.

Me: Okay....

I hung up the phone and went to the basement slowly with a torch light. I can still hear the baby...my mom told me to lock the door...but what if something bad happens to the baby...so... I opened the door slowly it was dark...I can't believe that my mom was keeping a baby in this dark room...I saw something moving... I slowly get closer to take a look...but what I saw made me amazed....

It was a cute baby....I can't recognize her face...all I can saw was the baby had blue eyes just like my Dad...I took her in my hands..she was really delicate...she was covered in a silk cloth...I looked around the basement...there was a feeding bottle on the ground which means someone was taking care of this baby secretly...

Then, my phone rang..I picked up....

Mom: Ava did you do what I asked you to?

Me: Mom whose baby is this...she is so pretty...is this my sister? Why are you hiding things from me?

Mom: Ava where are you?

Me: Then, whose car is that?
