"Aba! Aba! Aba!" The small two year old cried out as she tried to climb into Ava's bed as she had crashed on the floor and Ava had placed her on her couch before getting into her bed to sleep as she was exhausted and dreading the morning as she had the funeral of her secret boyfriend that she had to attend, but Mal had a nightmare and was scared.

She wanted Ava to comfort her as Carlos usually comforted her when she was scared, but Carlos was still gone and she was really starting to miss him. She wasn't used to being away from him this long.

That thought just made her cry more immediately waking Ava up as she looked at the crying toddler. Ava just sighed at first thinking Mal was just crying because she wanted to play again even though it was bedtime, but she quickly realized that Mal was crying for another reason.

"Mal what's wrong?" Ava asked the small girl in concern making the toddler reach her arms up in which Ava just quickly picked Mal up. "Aba I ha a scawy dwe aben! An... An... An... I... I... mi Cawos! I wan Cawos ba! I wan Cawos! I nee Cawos! He ma me few bewow!" The small toddler cried out, making Ava just look at her sister as her heart broke just hearing how scared her baby sister was and the fact that her sister wanted Carlos.

She missed Carlos too and she really wanted him back too, but she would be lying if she said it didn't sting a bit to know that her sister wanted Carlos over her when she was supposed to be the oldest one. It was supposed to be her job to be the one to comfort Mal and even Carlos.

Carlos really was right; she had failed at her job and this was just proof. She couldn't stop thinking about the day when Carlos had been born and she became a big sister. She had made a commitment to herself that day at only six years old.

Flashback

Six year old Ava was just sitting down with her Uncle Jafar and her little cousin Jay waiting for the news about her new baby sibling. Ava was just so excited to finally meet her new baby sibling. She was about to become a big sister and she was so excited.

Ava smiled when her daddy came out with a smile on his face as she ran straight over to him and he picked her up. "Daddy!" The young girl screamed out as she was so excited to finally get some information about her new baby sibling.

"Hey my little dreamer, are you ready to meet your new little brother," Ava's dad asked the young six year old, making Ava so excited as she practically jumped up and down for joy after her dad placed her back down.

"I have a little brother!" The young six year old screamed out happily making her dad laugh. "Yes you do my little dreamer and he is just the cutest little thing ever. Come on I'll take you to meet him, but you have to be gentle," Ava's dad told his daughter, making Ava just smile as she grabbed her daddy's hand and walked with him into her mommy's hospital room to meet her new baby brother.

When she entered the room her mom smiled at her as she held the small newborn in her arms. Ava just couldn't control her excitement as she went over to her mom and looked at her new baby brother for the first. "Mommy he's so cute! What's his name," the young girl asked her mommy as she kept smiling and not even taking her eyes off of her new baby brother.

Her mom just laughed as she looked at her. "His name is Carlos De Vil Jalali," Ava's mom told the young girl, making Ava smile more.

"I love it! Can I hold him please mommy," Ava asked her mom making her mom smile. "Okay, but you have to sit down right here," Ava's mom told the small girl, making Ava smile as she did what her mom said and her mom placed her new baby brother in her arms.

"Aw hi there Carlos. I'm Ava and I'm your new big sister. I promise that I am always going to be there for you and I'm going to protect you because I'm a big sister now and that's my new job and I'm going to be really good at it since I love you," the young six year old told her new baby brother as she just held him and smiled at him.

Flashback ends

Ava just began to cry as she realized that she had failed though she had promised that day to always be there for Carlos and she wasn't. And the same goes for Mal who had fallen asleep just crying on her while calling out for Carlos.

She couldn't stop thinking about the day she found out she was going to be a big sister again. She was older at the time as she was almost eighteen when she found out that she was going to be a big sister again, but she was still just as excited as she was back when she was only six.

Flashback

Seventeen year old Ava and eleven year old Carlos just sat down on the couch waiting for their parents to tell them what important news they had to tell them as their parents had made them both stop working on homework and come down as they needed to tell them something big.

"What do you think it is Ava? Do you think we're moving? I hope not! I have so many friends here," the young eleven year old rambled out to his big sister as he tried to think of what could be big enough for them to have a whole discussion about it.

Ava just rolled her eyes at her little brother. "Oh come on Carlos there's no way we're moving now. I mean I'm about to start my last year of high school. There is no way we would move now," Ava told her little brother making him nod in understanding.

"Yeah you're right! Then what could it be if it's not about moving," the young boy asked his sister, but before Ava could give her input their parents came out holding something behind their backs.

"Are you two ready to find out what big news your mom and I have," their dad asked them, making them both nod. Their parents just laughed as they pulled out a sonogram in which Ava immediately knew what it was while Carlos had no clue.

"Oh my gosh no way! Are you serious! Is this real! Please tell me it's real! I'm going to be really upset if this is a prank!" The seventeen year old told her parents in shock and excitement while her little brother just looked at her in confusion. "What I don't get it. What is this," Carlos asked his big sister making Ava laugh as she looked at her clueless little brother.

Their parents laughed as well as they looked at their kids. "It's true Ava it's not a prank! We would never do that to you two. And Carlos bud, that's a sonogram from mom. You're going to be a big brother," the father told his two kids immediately, making Ava just immediately run and hug him while Carlos jumped up and down excitedly.

"Oh my gosh! This is the best news ever! I'm going to be a big brother! Ava guess what I'm going to be an older brother! We're both big siblings now! I can't believe I'm going to be a big brother! I'm so excited!" The young eleven year old screamed out excitedly making Ava and their parents laugh.

Ava was really excited as well as she just hugged her dad in excitement. "I can't believe this is real! I'm going to be a big sister again after eleven years! I'm so excited! There's going to be another little baby to protect and love," Ava practically screamed out as she was excited.

Carlos just laughed as he looked at his parents. "Is it a girl or boy! I hope it's a girl," the young eleven year old told his parents, making Ava laugh as she looked at her little brother in confusion. "Really? I would have thought you would want a little brother," Ava told the boy while ruffling his hair making him laugh again

"I want a little brother, but I also really want a little sister because I want to be a good big brother and protect my little sister," the young boy told his older sister, making Ava laugh again. "Okay and you can't do that with a little brother? I mean I've been doing that for eleven years now which is why I really want a baby sister because I already have a little brother, but I don't care either way," Ava told her little brother, making him nod in agreement.

"Yeah I agree with you Ava. I don't really care what it is," Carlos told his sister. Their parents just laughed again as they looked at their two kids. "Oh then I guess you don't want to know yet," their dad told them, making them both start freaking out.

"No we want to know! Tell us dad please tell us!" Carlos begged out to his parents making them laugh. "Okay fine congratulations you two are now the older siblings to a new baby sister," the father told his two kids immediately making Ava and Carlos start jumping for joy even though Ava was almost an adult she didn't care she was excited.

"Oh my gosh we're having a baby sister Carlos! I can't wait to protect her and love her and always be there for her. I'm going to be the best older sibling to her! And I'm going to teach her so much!" Ava screamed out making Carlos laugh. "Yes! We're having a baby sister! I'm so happy and no way Ava I'm going to be the better older sibling!" The young boy told his sister, making her laugh.

"You wish little bro, but I'm already the big sister, so it's kind of my job and you're not stealing it, but you can help me," Ava told her little brother as she ruffled his hair again, making him and their parents just laugh as they were all just enjoying their happy family moment.

Flashback ends

She was brought out of her flashback by her little sister who had woken up as it was now morning. Ava just looked at the time in shock as she had ended up staying up all night from her flashbacks. She couldn't believe that she had done that, and most importantly her little brother had been right three years ago, but she was determined to change that.

Ava just sighed as she picked up the toddler as Carlos wasn't back yet and she had to attend her secret boyfriend's funeral even though she didn't want to as she needed to keep up her role in order to be a good big sister and protect her siblings. "Alright Mal come on let's get ready. We have somewhere we have to go today and I need you to please not be difficult with me," Ava told the toddler who just shook her head.

"No! I wan Cawos!" The small girl cried out making Ava sigh again as she looked at her baby sister. "Mal, Carlos is busy right now. And besides Carlos isn't in charge anymore. I am because I'm older than he is and I'm legally in charge of you and Carlos, so things are going to be changing Mal. Now I'm in charge now and I say we need to get ready, so we need to get ready," Ava told the toddler who just looked at Ava and shook her head no.

"No!" The small girl screamed out as she ran and hid. Ava just sighed in frustration as she didn't understand why Mal couldn't just listen to her. She was trying to be a better big sister, but she just kept making things worse with both Carlos and Mal and she just really wasn't in the mood to deal with a difficult toddler especially today as today was already a really hard day for her.
