Once Dante was diapered and dressed, Beth settled into the rocker in the corner, placing a pillow on her lap to protect her incision and help support the baby’s weight. Holding their wriggling son with practiced ease, she slipped the robe off her right shoulder and exposed her swollen breast.

Matteo swallowed, feeling so out of his element here.

Damn you, Pop.

He should have told him.

He tried to tell him.

Matteo knew it was another lesson. His father expected loyalty and blind obedience. Matteo had given him the one but not the other. As a result, he’d stayed on the hunt each time that his father had wanted him to come home. By delaying his return, he’d missed Beth’s pregnancy. Her labor. Their son’s birth. The first two goddamn months his life, for Christ’s sake.

Dante lunged. His opened mouth latched on and started working, pulling nourishment from Beth’s body while Matteo watched, wondering what the hell he was supposed to do with her now.

Women got cleared for sex at six weeks, right? Surely, anal before that. There was always her mouth. The baby was almost two months old. She should be good to go. Primed and ready.

She didn’t look it, though.

They’d seen each other naked, but right now, even clothed, she looked like she felt raw. Vulnerable. She was nervous. She didn’t know what he would do with her. Frankly, he didn’t either.

Fuck it all.

But she’d given him a son. More than that, she’d seen to it that Dante knew him. She had his picture, and she’d been showing their son a video. Probably a news clip about the restaurant. He’d surely seen it more than once, for Dante to be able to recognize him.

“You could read him a book,” she suggested. “It’s never too soon to start.”

“Another night,” he said. Right now, he just wanted to watch. Once the baby got back to sleep, he could have Beth to himself.

She fed him from both sides, burping him after each one. “If I don’t get rid of the gas, he’ll wake up screaming,” she explained. “It’s really painful. Colic was bad enough, but we made it through. He spent a lot of hours in his pumpkin seat. Being more upright with his legs bent helped ease his symptoms.”

From the sound of it, Matteo was glad that he’d missed that part. Sleeping babies, he could handle. Screaming babies? Not so much.

“He’s not sleeping through the night yet. When will he do that?” The image flashed of him screwing Beth and her moans competing with the crying baby across the hall. Jesus.

Beth shook her head and laughed. “Months? Years? Who knows? I have a friend who breastfed two and didn’t get a full night’s sleep for five years, between breastfeeding and having genius kids who run on almost no sleep. She says it can be brutal. Hopefully, once he starts eating other things, he’ll go longer between feedings. Right now, it’s every two to three hours.”

She rubbed Dante’s back a few more minutes. “I think he’s gone,” she whispered.
