Okay So I wrote a chapter of a book when I was 8/9ish and I want to see if people actually read it. If I actually get views I might write a second chapter...
The room was Quiet and soft breathing was in the air. Charlie woke with a start when his younger sister,Ginny, shook him awake. “ Charlie!..CHARLIE!..wake up, it’s Ma.”
“What about her?” he growled still half asleep.
“She’s in labor!” the loud whisper called again. This time he jumped up, yanked on his clothes and managed to get Rosibelle, His youngest sister awake as well. Rosi bawled and woke all the others . Ginny carried Rosi a bottle of milk and she drank heavily. Charlie said to his father,”What do I need to do?”
His father said calmly, “First, calm down. She’s done this five times already. And second, get Laddy and ride him to town to get Dr. Sheens and bring him here.” He just ran down stairs got on his bare backed horse and called after him “I know but this time I think it’s a BOY!”
He rode for what seemed like millions of miles .When he finally reached the door, he knocked for all he was worth, then he waited for the doctor. Doctor Sheen came with Jessie, who was his daughter, on his heels. “What is it, lad?!” he exclaimed. Charlie told him that his ma was in labor. He got his bag and Jessie had saddled up two horses. The doctor was telling his daughter to stay when Charlie said
“Come on!”
So she got on anyway. They rode and rode and finally got home. They rushed to the room and Jessie helped the little children get dressed and took them to the fireplace to play quietly and drink the hot-cocoa she had brought. All Charlie heard was a shriek and then it was quiet.

Charlie and Ginny rushed to their mother’s room leaving the three younger ones to Jessie (not that she minded). Ginny said, “He looks kinda like Charlie!”
Charlie peeked over the rim of the crib, heart thundering. He sucked in a breath expecting to see a small baby wrapped in pink clothes.
“His name is Carter Graham” ma said weakly.
as the rest of the children piled into the small room ma’s smile slowly broadened across her face. When the whole family was in the tiny room, Dr.Sheen began to say something.
“I am very happy for all of you, especially you Charles, you have a younger brother.”
Father realized something was wrong with the doctor’s expression though. “ What’s wrong!”
Doctor Sheen cleared his throat and said, “I am not sure, but to the best of my knowledge, I believe your son is deaf.”
Charlie choked. “WHAT!?”

Is this actually good or should I totally dump this idea?
