Then I turned and looked right at the bassinet.
I tiptoed over like it was a bomb getting ready to detonate.
Which, he kind of was.
From the sound of things, he wasn’t exactly the easiest of babies. Which was too bad. Dani had been such an easy baby. It must be the lumberjack genes in him.
His face was so peaceful. A small smile playing on his full lips.
Hmm.
My lips.
And I think he might have my nose, too. I moved my head to look at him from another direction.
His head had rounded out nicely. When he came out, it looked more like a torpedo than a human skull. That was a blessing to me, though. Pushing ten pounds of lumberjack baby out didn’t need to be any harder than it had been.
I looked into the bathroom and saw one of the five gift baskets that Eve had brought in. The latest one had an assortment of hair products that I loved.
I reached up and touched my hair.
Was it matted?
Shit.
When was the last time I put a brush through it?
There was a jar of top-notch hair treatment in that basket. Maybe I should put it on?
Yeah.
If I didn’t do something soon to this hair, I was going to have to chop it all off.
I wandered into the bathroom and slid my hand inside the gift basket. I grabbed the hair treatment and opened it up.
I loved the smell of it.
Lavender.
I glooped a large amount of the treatment on my hair and walked back to check on the baby.
Yeah.
He definitely had my lips. He had Carlo’s forehead and cheekbones. And his hard chin.
That kid was going to be a real heartbreaker when he got older.
I had to wait a while for the hair treatment to penetrate my matted locks.
Hmm, maybe I should shave my legs?
Eve also bought me a basket of assorted soaps and razors. There was a new one in there that I hadn’t tried.
Carlo would be home soon.
And even if he wasn’t, I’d leave the bathroom door open. If the baby cried, I’d hear him.
I crept back to the bathroom and started the tub. Then I picked out a delicious smelling strawberry soap.
