Hi
Katie,

Cecelia
Ahern

Thanks
for
your
card
and
present
that
you
gave
me
fro
my
brithday.
I

guess
my
dad
told
you
guys
about
Bethinny
being
pregnint.
That
means
I’m

gonna
have
a
brother
or
sister.
I
think
I’m
the
only
person
around
here
who

thinks
it’s
cool.

She
is
four
months
gone
they
say.
Gone
where,
I
don’t
know.
I
only
saw

her
yesterday.
My
mom
just
laughed
when
my
dad
told
her
but
then
she

can’t
have
thought
it
was
too
funny
cos
she
was
cursing
too.
She
was
saying

she
bets
your
mom
is
real
happy
about
it.
But
she’s
wrong
cos
your
mom’s

not
happy
with
Dad
is
she?

Dad
is
sad
because
he
said
all
the
grils
in
his
life
are
mad
at
him.
Your

mom
is,
my
mom
is,
and
Bethinny
is
too.
The
other
night
he
told
me
that
he

should
have
told
your
mom
sooner
and
he
should
have
done
something
about

it.
I
don’t
know
what
he
was
talking
about.
I
hope
he
starts
acting
normal

again.

Bethinny
is
mad
at
him
cos
he
won’t
marry
her.
I
heard
them
fighting

about
it.
Bethinny
was
crying
and
saying
that
Dad
didn’t
love
her
and
he

was
saying
that
he
did
but
that
he
needed
to
take
things
slower.
She
said

how
much
slower
could
they
take
things
seeing
as
it
was
fifteen
years
since

they
started
going
out?
Dad
said
that
he
would
mind
her
and
the
baby
but

he
said
it
was
too
soon
to
get
married.
She
said
she
wanted
them
to
buy
a

house
near
her
parents
and
Dad
said
she
only
wanted
to
do
that
so
she
could

lunch
with
all
the
other
ladies.
He
said
he
supposed
she
wanted
a
summer

house
in
Nantucket
as
well
and
she
said
of
course
she
didn’t.
She
preferred

Martha’s
Vineyard.
I’ve
never
met
Martha
and
I
don’t
know
how
she
would
