After we found the medical reference room, I took Sister to a table next to the window, which had two wooden chairs next to each other. The room was absent of other people, thank the Lord.

“Mummy, we need to find some anatomy books which show pictures of penises and vulvas and explain all about making babies,” informing her of the purpose of our mission.

Sister Anna Marie was silent momentarily, then whispered, “Honey, we can’t look at such books. What would Sister Theresa say if she knew what you wanted to do? No, we cannot do this.”

I stood firm and replied, “Yes, we can do this, Mummy. I know neither you nor I know how to make a baby. How will we have one if we do not know how to make our baby when I am grown up and married in church? It is very rational, Mummy.”

Sister Anna Marie had to agree, and so she and I looked for books with pictures of male and female sex organs and how couples made babies. After locating some good ones, we returned them to our desk and began our scientific study.

“Mummy, we shall begin our study with females, so open to the proper page, and we will learn what everything is named. I will read quietly, Mummy, as I am the man of our house, so I am responsible for you.”

Sister Anna Marie replied after hitting me with her elbow, “OK, Husband. You may read to your Beloved Wife and Mummy.”

Mummy and I located all the parts of her vulva. I also read the text about what each part did. Mummy was initially shy but soon immersed herself in her birthday present. After we finished with the female, we turned to pictures of the male. We looked at flaccid and erect.

Mummy said, “Honey, I think your erect penis is much more handsome than in these pictures, and it will be even bigger when you are a man. I like it very much, honey, so I like to look at it.”

“That is nice, Mummy. I want always to be handsome for you. After our bath, I want to look at you and name all your parts. I know you must have the most beautiful vulva in the universe.”

Sister smiled and looked downward as I made her feel shy.

I said, “It is OK, Mummy. Remember, we are married in Heaven.”

After part one of our project finished, Sister Anna Marie said, “Let us find some books showing how girls and boys change as they grow up.”

“Good idea, Mummy.”

So, we returned the first set of books to their places on the shelves and found a book showing photos of how puberty changes our genital organs. We studied the pictures and the text together.

At last, Mummy said, “See, Honey, I stopped changing before I developed any genital hair and periods. The book said it was because of a hormone problem. But, to tell you the truth, I like not having pubic or underarm hair and periods. Honey, I am sorry, but you and I cannot make a little baby girl love. I hope you are not angry with me?”

I placed my right hand onto her left hand, saying, “I love you, Mummy. Being soul-partners is a substantial gift in my eyes. And even without babies, we still will make love because we love each other. Right, Mummy?”

Sister looked into my eyes, and some tears gathered in the corners of hers, “I am the luckiest lady in the world, for I feel such precious love and acceptance from you, dear Miguel. Sometimes, I think you must be ancient because you always know what to say and do. Yes, we will make love together in the eyes of the Holy Family.”

After our developmental lesson, Sister Anna Marie said, “Miguel, I want to find out how babies are made. How to make love. Let us go find some books.”

We searched for the proper books, and Sister Anna Marie read them to me quietly, even though the room was empty of other persons.

She whispered, “Honey, to make a baby, your penis must be hard, and it goes into my vagina. The book says that I will produce juices when I am sexually aroused, so I will be wet, so it is easy to go in. The book says that if you are on top of me, you must move in and out, or I can climb on top of you and kneel so your penis is inside me, and I can move up and down. This is useful.

“And you were correct, Honey. This is the best birthday present I have ever received. How did you know I wanted to learn how to make a baby?”

“Mummy, it was rather obvious to me. For you told me in your dreams. I know you get wet in bed sometimes. I am a clever boy, remember?”

“Yes, Honey, you are a clever boy. Let’s find a book showing different ways to make love, OK?”

As we left the library, Sister Anna Marie kissed me on my cheek, saying, “Miguel, you were correct. The best present I ever had was our visit to the library. And you were also correct for you told me that libraries have birthday presents. Yes, we have many experiments to practice.

“Take my hand, my precious. I love you so much, for you are my earthly saviour.”
