“Oh, look at Russell, Louis. Isn’t he very handsome? He’s clean and smells good.” Emily put her nose closer to Russell’s face. When she managed to kiss that very soft cheek, she giggled holding back her laughter. She didn’t want to disturb Kara who was sleeping in Frank’s

arms.

“Yes, he is very handsome. He looks like me. Isn’t that right, Grandma?

Louis raised his gaze towards the woman holding Russell.

Susan smiled amusedly. “Yes, he looks like you. Only his nose is a little sharper.”

Louis’ lips immediately pursed. His forefinger pointed at his own nose. “How sharp do you want Russell’s nose to be? My nose is already very sharp.”

Susan chuckled at Louis’ answer. “I’m just joking, Louis. It doesn’t matter whose nose is sharper. What’s important is that you’re both healthy.”

Louis nodded in agreement. His hands then rose to touch the baby’s

feet.

“Grandma, is Russell heavy?”

Susan raised her eyebrows. “Do you want to carry him?”

Louis glanced at Emily. “How about you try first? You’re a girl. You’re used to carrying dolls.”

Emily’s lips immediately pursed. “Babies are different from dolls, Louis. You should try first. You’re stronger.”

“You don’t need to worry,” Susan intervened. “I can help you hold Russell. He won’t fall. You just need to hold him gently and carefully.”

“Okay then, let me carry Russell.” Louis climbed onto the sofa, sitting next to Susan. “Emily, pay attention to me.”

Emily took a step forward. Her hands guarded as her grandmother moved Russell to Louis’ lap.

“Hold his head with your arm. Another hand is here. Well, that’s right.”

Once Susan let go of Russell completely, Louis didn’t dare move. His smile conveyed millions of meanings. He was proud, moved, and happy. Unknowingly, tears began to gather blurring his vision.

“Louis, are you crying?” Emily leaned in, looking at Louis’ eyes.

Louis quickly bit his lips. “No. I’m not crying.”

“Yeah! You’re crying! Your eyes are watering!” Emily laughed

amusedly. “The first time you saw Russell, you didn’t cry. Why are you crying now?”

Louis looked back at the baby’s small face. His shoulders. rose and fell to match his lungs.
