Of course, it’s easy to say that you can be patient and kind and understanding when the child in your arms is quiet. It’s much harder when, day after day, the child keeps fussing and hating you.

I rock Z’hren to sleep and sing him songs. I play with him on his blankets and make sure he gets plenty of food and naps and his leather-clad bottom is never dirty for longer than a moment. I shower love on him and I let him yell in my face, pull my short hair, and fuss for as long as he needs to. He has a comfy basket at the foot of the bed I share with Vaza, and we finally have a tent of our own set up, nestled amongst the other tents of the Strong Arm clan. They’ve made us feel welcome and included, and everyone seems happy that we’ve taken on the role of parenting Z’hren.

Z’hren loves his tribe, too. He coos happily at the sight of N’dek, who spends most of his days by the fire. He plays with J’shel’s long, gleaming black braid and always has smiles for Lauren and K’thar. He even loves K’thar’s weird little bird pet that sits on his shoulder and shivers in a stiff breeze. The silly thing wears a little fur jacket that Lauren made for him and squawks unpleasantly throughout the day. It also seems to love Z’hren, playing at times in a way like a puppy would with a baby.

And of course Z’hren loves Vaza. He lights up every time my mate picks him up. Vaza’s a great daddy, too. He wakes up in the middle of the night when Z’hren’s fussing and changes him or rocks him without a complaint. He hunts down eggs when we find that snowcat makes Z’hren’s tummy upset. I couldn’t ask for a better partner.

Which is why when I have a meltdown in the middle of the night, I feel like a jerk.
