They were all tense, expecting her to push the baby away. They had not yet forgotten the fact that her child died and Deanne's had lived.
"Help me up Lanai." Sigrid commanded.
Roland did not let Lanai do it, he rushed in to help her personally and then he took advantage of the moment to climb on the bed and sit next to her.
Lady Iryne out the child in Sigrid's arms instructing her on how to carry it in the right way. "Be gentle, children bruise easily." she warned.
She was worried because she recalled her daughter's old ways of mishandling animals. How she had switched from an animal hater to an animal lover was a miracle. A miracle she was thankful for.
The baby was awake and he was as energetic as Lady Iryne had said. He was making small uncoordinated kicks and stretching his hands.
"How cute." Sigrid whispered. She tilted her head upwards and looked at Roland. "My love, what do you think?"
"He has a lot more hair than I have ever seen on a baby." He commented.
