“Sorry, Baby, I guess I dozed off. What’s up?”

“Well, Baby Angel so pretty, but she eating my finger. I think she hungry.” He replied and Bette picked her head up to look and sure enough the baby was sucking on Ozzie’s finger. It caused her to smile again.

“I think you might be right, I’d better wake up her momma to feed her.”

“But you her momma, Miss Tina her mom like she my mom…”

“Oh, yes, you’re right. Me, Momma and T is Mom. Tina? Tina? Wake up… the baby is hungry. Tina?” Bette said to Tina as she nudged her awake. Just as Tina woke up the nurse came back into the room to check on the new little family, the new mom and the baby girl. Realizing that the baby was hungry, she assisted Tina in positioning the baby to take her first drink from her breast.

Bette and Ozzie moved off of the bed and watched the magic happen in the baby drinking from her momma’s breast. The nurse stayed long enough to make sure all was well and then left. Ozzie eyes were as big as saucers again as he watched his baby sister suck on Tina’s breast. “Momma, she very hungry!”

“Yes, she is, looks like she’s going to be a good eater. We should probably get your stuff packed away in your backpack for when AuKi gets here to pick you up. It’s okay that you stay at the beach house, right?”

“Yep. I get good sleep and AuKi and Grammas take good care a me. You and Mom have some time together. It okay Momma.” He said to her and she hugged him close for a long moment. She kissed him several times and then they packed up his backpack. By that time, the baby was ready to be burped and Tina handed her to Bette for that task. Ozzie smiled.

“Hey, Buddy, do I get a hug goodnight?” Tina asked him and he beamed at her, carefully climbed up on the bed and they shared a very long hug. She kissed his head a few times, loving that fact that he had accepted her so readily. “I’m so happy to be your Mom. Thank you for that present.”
