CHAPTER THREE
DAN ENDED THE CALL on his phone. His captain had let out the loudest, heartiest laugh heâd ever heard when heâd told him about the baby. It hadnât helped.
He could hear pandemonium in the background at the station. He should be there helping. Instead of doing a late-night recce for baby supplies.
Mr Meltzer, on the other hand, had been full of concern. Loading up supplies on the counter and waving his hand at Danâs offer of payment.
âIf I help the little guy get a better start in life thatâs all I need.â
The words tormented him. Ground into him in a way they shouldnât. If only everyone felt like Mr Meltzer.
He pushed open the door to the apartment building and kicked the snow off his favourite baseball boots. They were really beyond repair.
Carrie was waiting and she pulled open the inside door. âDid you get some milk?â
He nodded and dumped the bags on the counter.
âWow, how much stuff did you get?â
He pulled his arms out of his jacket. âWho knew a baby needed so much? Mr Meltzer just kept pulling things off his shelves and saying, âYou better take some of thatâ.â
Carrie tipped one of the bags upside down. âPlease tell me you got some nappies and dummies. We need bothânow.â
âWhat? What are you talking about?â
She waved her hand in the air. âOh, you Americans. Nappiesâdiapers. And dummiesâ what do you call them? Pacifiers? Heâs starting to get restless and it will take a little time to sterilise the bottles.â She rummaged through the bags. âYou did get bottles, didnât you?â
âWhatâs that smell?â He wrinkled his nose and caught sight of the expression on her face. âOh, no. Youâre joking. He canât have. He hasnât eaten yet.â He pulled out a pack of baby wipes. âI take it weâll need these?â
She nodded. âDo you have a towel we can lay him on? Iâd say getting a nappy on the little guy is a priority.â
Dan walked over to the laundry cupboard and started throwing things about. âI know Iâve got a brand-new set of towels in here somewhere. My friend Dave just got married. He was drowning in the things. Ah, here we are!â He pulled out some navy blue towels and laid one down on the rug, a little away from the fireplace. He glanced at his cast. It was more inconvenient than he first thoughtâto say nothing about the constant ache that was coming from his wrist. âCan you do this?â
He could see her taking a deep breath. âFine,â she muttered through gritted teeth. She grabbed the bag of diapers from the counter, along with the wipes and some diaper sacks. âDid you get some cream?â
âCream? What for?â
âFor putting on the babyâs bum, of course. Everyone knows you put cream on a baby to stop them from getting nappy rash.â
He shrugged his shoulders. âMr Meltzer didnât seem to knowâand he knew everything else.â He pulled something from a second plastic bag. âLookâready-made formula in a carton. Weâve got the powdered stuff, too, but he said this was ready to use.
