luca canāt help but smile at the little bundle in theodorās arms. he was surprised that heād gotten the call to come and visit little freddie this early, with everything going on - heād assumed the new parents would want plenty of time to themselves, to get used to the new baby before they had to show him off to the world. it was exactly what luca did, before nathalie returned to work. he gives theo a knowing look,Ā āah, they always do. freddieās just used to her - she has carried him around for nine months, you know.ā he nods, putting on a smile,Ā āi remember that, too. the girls were born early, they were so little. enjoy it while it lasts, youāll miss when he was this small.āĀ
āsure,ā he said, frowning a little, still.Ā āheās been getting a little better, with me. he doesnāt scream everyĀ time i pick him up, now. itās more like... half the time.ā he moved to sit down on the couch and worked at fixing the blankets keeping freddie warm. the babyās eyes fluttered and theo froze, terrified at the prospect of trying to calm down yet another wailing fit, but freddie merely squirmed for a moment and then dropped back off to sleep. theoās shoulders relaxed and his attention returned to his cousin.Ā āi know. someday heāll be a tall, gangly freak of nature just like his father, and iāll not be able to lift him for anything.ā and heād be so proudĀ to see his son standing tall and straight and proud, but almost certainly wistful for the days when freddie fit perfectly safe and small in his arms.Ā āiād offer to let you hold him, but if he starts screaming heāll wake catherine up, and i donāt want to disturb her. we havenāt had a full nightās rest since he was born.ā
