Chapter 4

Aspen spent about an hour upon his return explaining his purchases, changing the first diaper, and teaching Stevie to feed the baby. When he stood, she didn’t even glance up right away, assuming he was going to get something else baby related and explain it.

“I’m going to have to get going,” Aspen said. “It’s late. You need to get some rest, and it will be morning before you know it.”

“Don’t go,” Stevie said with a long and drawn out yawn. “Stay the night.”

She didn’t usually invite strange men to stay the night, but she also didn’t usually have babies around or sneeze spells.

“Don’t worry,” Aspen said. “I promise, I’ll come back.”

She couldn’t exactly insist he stay, so she simply walked him to the door. “When will you be back?” she asked, feeling needy and not caring if he knew it.

“Tomorrow at dusk.” His answer was both surprisingly specific and confusing at the same time.

“Okay,” she said. “Good night.”

“Feel better,” he said, his parting words confusing her.

But another yawn stretched her jaw. She brought the baby with her to the bedroom, and the child dozed in her arms. “What am I supposed to do with you over night?” she asked the bundle.

Aww didn’t answer, but the pug familiar bumped against Stevie’s leg in a comforting way. “You get some rest. I’ll keep an eye on you and the baby. Make sure you don’t squash it in your sleep or that it doesn’t roll off the bed.”

“Thank you,” she said to the pug. After placing the baby on the bed, Stevie reached down to get the dog. She put him on the bed, too, before climbing up herself.

With the baby sandwiched between them, she slept.
