Lily and John always wanted to have children. So, when Lily got pregnant, they were overjoyed. John spent lots of time with her and the upcoming baby and always told her that they were going to have a baby very soon. The happiest waiting moments flew away very soon and she gave birth to a baby boy.

But their baby turned out to be disabled. The doctor told her that they were very sorry but her child would require special care as he had defective legs, he would never be ordinary. Lily was sad but she obviously accepted her son and welcomed him into the world. But John didn't want to take his son home. Lily begged him to do it and he asked her why they would need a disabled kid. She replied that she was begging him, he was their son, their firstborn! Then he agreed but applied a condition. He told her that he would take him home, but she had to give him a healthy baby. And she immediately agreed.

Lily and John spent the following few years trying to have another baby. But there were lots of negative results in the strip test. He got angry when he saw it. He asked her if she was kidding him. However, Lily was happy with her son. She had to quit her job to take care of her son. She always inspired Tommy. But John never tried to hide his resentment for his son. One day Lily was feeding the boy at the dining table. John also came to have dinner. But when he saw Tommy there, he said that it was disgusting. He asked her if she could not feed him somewhere else.

However, after 6 years of trying, they got a positive pregnancy test. John was again overjoyed and said that finally, he had been looking forward to that. He was happy that he would have a normal kid. After months, Lily again gave birth to a son and it was healthy, just like John had wanted.

He welcomed the baby to their house. But he could not grow a love for Tommy. When Tommy saw that little kid, he came forward and asked his father if he could hold his little brother. John immediately replied that he could not even touch the baby. Tommy was so sad.

Lily was doing her best to protect her older son. She told him that he was too mean to him. He replied that Tommy should be grateful that they hadn't given him up. Lily could say nothing but to feel sad.

Though John had no mercy for his older son, he always bought toys for the youngest one. He tried to spoil him. One day he bought a car toy for Jimmy and presented it to him. Tommy was there and was keenly waiting for his gift. When his father didn't give him any, he asked happily what about him. He then pointed to his wheelchair and said that he had already have a vehicle, he rode it around the house. And things were going like this.

Everything was in limit until the boys's mom fell ill. She was working and Tommy was by her side. He was gossiping with her. Suddenly she touched her head and fainted with pain. He screamed out in fear, "Mommy!" and his dad rushed their. He asked him what he had done to her. He again and again asked the same question. Tommy replied in fear that he hadn't done anything, she had fainted and fallen.

However, she was taken to the hospital. After lots of examinations, the doctor told John that they were very sorry, but they were powerless in that case. John and his family had only a few days to say goodbye to her. John, Tommy and Jimmy went to Lily's cabin. They cried and requested her not to leave them. But she knew it and requested John to protect their boys. She specially told him to take care of Tommy because he needed him. Jimmy cried out, "Mommy!" She told him to take care of each other, they were brothers and they needed to stand by each other.

She passed away. But John didn't fulfill his wife's last wish. Soon after her death, he told Tommy that he would finally go where he belonged. Tom was in fear but it could not melt his father's heart. That's how he ended up in a care home when he was 15. All the kids there was like him but he only missed his mother.

8 years passed and he was all alone. But that day he got a visit from someone he never expected to see. It was his brother, Jimmy. He came and told Tommy that he was there to get him out of there. He added that he was his guardian then. Tommy was confused and asked what about their father and how he could allow him to do that. Jimmy replied that it didn't matter, he was there for Tommy and their mom. He added that when he had found out what their father had done to his elder brother, he swore to himself to right that wrong. Because he believed that their mom would want him to do that.

Tommy was crying after a long time, he was shading the happiness tears. So, the brothers started living together, while their father, who had once dreamed of having kids, ended up alone, consumed by malice.

Real parents never play favorites; they love all their children equally.

Working as a soca worker, I still feel bad for such instances when children are separated from their parents.., and what's more heartbreaking is if that separation is caused by parents..,

Agreed. A child depends on their parents and their belief is that they would get support when the world goes against them. But then if the parents go against them, it becomes hard to live a full life.

Yes.., not all children accept such as a challenge and tries their best to be successful.., most children take it in a negative way where they start rebelling and doing bad things just because they don't have parents to guide them..
