“Zinnia, Maisie,” a bright voice called from behind. The two looked back to see Ethan walking over, holding Soren in his arms.

Ethan looked funny in his suit, holding the baby wrapped in a blanket. Soren was his cousin. With so many people at the party, Wendell thought it was safer to keep the baby with family.

Maisie grinned and teased, “Wow, look who’s playing daddy now.”

Ethan said, “What can I do? My brother is being totally careless. I don’t even know where he took my sister–in- law, and he just left the baby with me. I’m so tired! Can you hold him for a bit?”

Ethan hurried over and quickly shoved the baby into Maisie’s arms before sitting down next to them, looking super tired. “This little guy’s been running me ragged all morning. I’m done for!”

“I don’t want to hold this squishy little thing,” Maisie yelled as Soren was put into her arms, her arms stiffening like a robot’s, not knowing how to handle a baby.

“Maisie, don’t drop him! Grandpa will be mad at me.” Ethan quickly caught the baby from her stiff arms.

“Take him back!” Maisie panicked, her arms like sticks. “I can’t feel my hands. He’s about to cry, and I don’t know how to calm him down.” Completely helpless with the tiny, squishy thing, she stiffly handed the baby back to Ethan.

She said, “Get him away from me now!”

“Here we go again. This little rascal’s about to cry,” Ethan muttered as he took the baby.

Zinnia looked at Soren curiously, her eyes shining with wonder. Soren was wrapped in the blanket–plump with bright eyes. Maybe from being passed around, he puckered his lips, seeming close to tears.
