Steven
““Have you burped her yet?” She’d have offered to take the baby, but she was wet, and she wanted to see how Steven did with her on his own. He never seemed to have a whole lot of contact with her, but he didn’t seem disinterested. He simply didn’t know what to do with her.
“When am I supposed to do that?”
“About halfway through the bottle. Go ahead and do it now.” She reached down and pulled a burp cloth from the diaper bag, and put it over his shoulder.
“What’s that for?”
“...In case she spits up on you.”
He wrinkled his nose. “You mean baby puke?”
She laughed. “I guess that’s one way of putting it.” She settled down on the blanket beside him, showing him how to lift the baby to his shoulder and pat her back.
He held her awkwardly, but quickly got a loud burp from her. The grin on his face made him look like he’d won some sort of prize. He cradled her in his arm again and stuck the bottle back in her mouth.MoreLess
