Rena was roused by her crying baby. She looked at Marcus and said to Waylen, "He must be hungry. Carry him to me, and I'll feed him."

There was depth in Waylen's eyes.

He gently picked up his infant son and put him in Rena's arms. Then, he stood there and watched.

Marcus was Rena's second child, but it was her first time to nurse a baby. She unbuttoned her shirt in a somewhat rusty way and gently moved Marcus so that he could latch onto her nipple.

The baby fed greedily.
