‘She’s Not My Sister,’ He Said Of His Newborn Sibling. DNA Test Confirmed It

Clarice went to help her daughter get out of the car with the baby in her arms. But what happened next, no one expected?

“Fred, this is your sister, Sara. Come say hi to her,” said Curtis while Lana lowered the baby so he could see the new family member.

But instead of smiling and being happy with seeing the girl, Fred frowned and looked coldly at the baby. He shook his head and said something that left everyone shocked and confused.

“She isn’t my sister,” he said, looking at his parents.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, wondering if the boy was serious or only joking. It was Clarice, his grandmother, who broke the silence.

“What did you say, Fred?” she asked, but the boy didn’t respond.

“Why do you say that? She really is your sister,” Curtis intervened, asking him to look at the baby again.

Fred did what his father asked, with a frown on his face and eyes that seemed to ask a series of silent questions. He wanted to know why the baby had blond hair and blue eyes when everyone in his family had brown hair and brown eyes.

Despite his young age, Fred’s question challenged his parents and grandmother’s sense of logic.

“It’s hard to explain, sweetie, but this happens sometimes, and with time, her hair and eyes could darken. She was just born,” said Lana.

Fred shook his head again, making it clear that he didn’t accept that response, and ran into the house. Lana and Curtis looked at each other with concern, not understanding why their boy was saying such things about their newborn.

A Persistent Fantasy and the Search for Answers

Could it be jealousy? Fear of losing his parents’ love?

Seeing the couple’s concern, Clarice entered the conversation, saying they shouldn’t worry and that it was a normal response.

“Soon, Fred would see that his position as the son will not be threatened by the baby, and everything will be fine. Make him feel loved and wanted. In fact, tell him that you need his help, and you’ll see how he will change,” said Clarice.

The words from the more experienced woman calmed the couple. Yet everything stayed the same in the following weeks.

Fred maintained a certain distance from Sara and occasionally repeated how she was not his little sister. Curtis didn’t like this behavior and didn’t hesitate to call the boy’s attention; after all, it was a terrible thing to say.

When Lana bathed her daughter, she would ask Fred to help. She hoped that if the boy felt useful and responsible for her, he would stop this fantasy about her not being part of the family.

But it didn’t work. Fred would help his mother give the baby a bath but would do so without saying anything or showing any particular affection.

He was different from that boy who would hug his mother’s belly, happy to have a sister coming soon. Yet, nothing that Lana or Curtis did make any difference.

Months passed, and the perfect family they had built was now, for some dark reason, threatened by the skepticism of their six-year-old boy. If Lana didn’t insist, Fred would never play with Sara.

At this stage, Sara was already a little older and more aware, and at various times, she seemed to call her older brother’s attention, but he acted like he didn’t see her. It broke his parents’ hearts to see these things.

Finally, Curtis couldn’t take it any longer and persuaded Lana to let him take the boy to a psychologist. Perhaps this was an exaggerated reaction of jealousy, and they needed professional help.

At a loss for what to do, Lana agreed. The following week, they took Fred to see Warren Robertson, a child psychologist.

But, even after four sessions, the older brother remained undeterred. He couldn’t explain why or how, but he was convinced that the girl living in his house and nursing from his mother’s breasts was not his real sister.

A Logical Proposal and a Shocking Revelation

Warren saw Fred as a brilliant and logical boy and proposed an experiment. He called Lana and Curtis into his office and said the couple should do a DNA test.

“Fred is only six years old, but knows what a DNA test is, and he’s a very rational kid. So I suggest you take the test, and when he sees the physical proof that Sara is his sister, Fred will no longer have these concerns,” said the psychologist.

Lana thought the idea to be a little radical. She worried that it would appear that they also had doubts as to the father of the child.

But Curtis reassured her, saying the test was only a formality, just to help Fred accept Sara into the family once and for all. So Lana agreed; it would be good for the entire family.

She didn’t know she would have a surprise that would change her life forever…

The DNA test was expensive, but the couple went forward with the idea. They collected blood from both parents and little Sara, sent it to a laboratory, and waited for the results to arrive in a few days.

While waiting, Curtis, Lana, and Sara spent wonderful days together. The little girl was growing quickly.

She couldn’t walk yet but could sit up and would try to crawl around the room. When she played, she would let out the most beautiful laughs that only babies are capable of, that melt even the coldest of hearts.

She adored her parents and got along well with her grandma Clarice. Whenever she saw the older woman, she held out her arms, asking to sit on her lap.

Her eyes, always brilliant and curious, illuminated her parents’ days from the moment they woke up. Caring for the baby was challenging, yet it was also a delight for them.

But they felt sad they could not play with the whole family because Fred refused to interact with Sara. And this was not a personality trait of the boy, as he interacted normally with all the other children in the neighborhood.
