What are you going to tell us about today?
* My story A Baby for Easter.
A look into the story
* Micah has always been a prodigal son, but now he’s trying to put that lifestyle behind him. Then a five-month-old daughter he never knew existed is dropped on his doorstep, the result of one of his many one-night stands. He needs help from Alice to care for his daughter, but he can’t let himself hope for anything more from her than that. He can’t help but want it, though…
* “Why would I know? I’ve never had a baby. You’re the one who’s supposed to be mechanically inclined. Why can’t you figure it out?”
* “I sure wouldn’t have designed this ridiculous contraption in a way that’s impossible to hook in the car.”
* “Oh, wait,” Alice gasped, remembering something she should have recalled earlier. “I think it’s supposed to face the other way.”
* “That can’t be right.” Micah turned the carrier as she’d indicated. He was bending over into the car, and he looked just as hot and frustrated as she felt. “Why would they make the poor babies look at nothing but the back of the seat?”
* “I don’t know. Maybe it’s safer or something. Let’s just try it. Maybe the belt goes through like this.”
* Micah fed the belt through the grooves, and the buckle got stuck at one point. “Shit,” he muttered, trying to free the belt. “Shit.” Then he glanced up at her. “Sorry.”
* “You don’t have to keep saying sorry,” she replied, slightly snippy. “I’ve heard worse, you know.”
* “I know that. But do you really think I should be teaching her bad language this early?”
* “She can’t even talk yet.”
* “Well, she can hear.”
* “Fine,” Alice grumbled, tilting the carrier slightly to make room for Micah’s run of the belt. “Watch your language then.”
* He gave her a cool glare, but it changed when Alice was able to snap the seatbelt closed.
* They both tested the carrier to make sure it was stable, but they couldn’t get it to move more than an inch, no matter how they tugged on it, so they assumed it would do for the short ride to Micah’s house.
* Alice sighed in relief as she finally climbed out of the car and walked around to the driver’s side.
* Micah was leaning against the car, wiping sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. He looked exhausted, defeated somehow.
* Despite her annoyance just the moment before, she felt another pull of sympathy. She reached out to put a hand on his shoulder. “It’s going to be all right.”
* “Is it?” he asked, opening his eyes to meet hers.
* “Yeah. We’ll figure this out. We don’t know anything yet.”
* “But what if she’s mine? What if her mom really doesn’t want her? What if I’m the only parent she has? I can’t even manage to get her strapped into the car.”
