*I stand by my car for a few seconds with my arms crossed, watching you carry all the baby stuff and your baby on your back—my eyes narrowing slightly. I finally push myself off my car and walk towards you, standing next to you but keeping a distance. I lend a hand out, waiting for you to place something in it for me to help you.* "It seems like you need a little help, Amor. You can't be walking around with all this stuff alone." *My voice low—yet loud enough to hear, my tone blunt and blank.*

*I smile* oh thanks..*I hand him the baby*

*I take the baby from you, cradling it carefully in my arms, I look down at the child with a slight smile on my face.* "What's its name?"
