In the middle of the night Ruth cried, Irene got up to pick her up and sat on the couch to breastfeed. Tamara watched from the bed and when Irene went back to sleep, she said:
-I'm sorry I can't help you with that part, love.
-Love, it was just what was missing... - kissed Tamara - You didn't even need to be awake.
-Of course I needed it. - Kissed Irene - Next time, I'll bring Ruth so you don't have to get up.
-Thank you honey. - Hugged Tamara - Let's sleep.
A while later, Ruth woke up again.
-Leave me, love. - Tamara said - It must be the diaper, I change.
Tamara got up, changed her diaper and put Ruth to sleep. She lay down on the bed again and hugged Irene.
-Apparently, the night will be quite long.
-I'm tired of just thinking. - Said Irene - I will need your help, love.
-I do everything I can. - Kissed Irene - If I don't wake up, call me.
-Thanks my life. - She said, hugging Tamara, with her eyes closed.
They went back to sleep. After a while, Ruth cried again, Tamara took it, looked if she needed to change her diaper and it's not. So he took it to Irene.
-Love - caressed Irene.
-Already awake?
-Yes. I already looked at the diaper and it's not.
Irene sat down, took Ruth and put her to nurse.
-Love, will we be able to take care of two? - Asked Irene.
-If we don't succeed, we hire a nanny. But, we can try.
-My mom wants to come help these first few days. You accept?
-I don't have to accept. You know.
- It's just that I don't want you to feel uncomfortable with my mother.
-The house is yours too, love. She can come anytime you want.
-It's only for a few days, until we get used to the routine.
-It's all right. - Kissed Irene - Tell her to pack and she comes with my father when he goes to bring Alex.
-Okay, love. You are an angel.
-I do not. Angel is this beautiful little thing here. - She kissed Ruth's foot.
-She is cute just like mom. - Kissed Tamara - My babies.
That night they had to get up several times and, when the sun came up, they were already awake. Irene breastfeeding and Tamara sitting next, hugging Irene, leaning on her shoulder.
-Good morning honey. - Tamara kissed Irene on the head.
-Good morning honey. - Said Irene, in a sleepy voice.
-I'll make coffee. If you need me, call me.
-OK.
Tamara made coffee and took it to Irene in the room. When she arrived, Irene was asleep sitting, with Ruth in her arms. She placed the tray on the table, picked up Ruth and placed it in the crib. She helped Irene to lie down and kissed her.
-Rest, love.
