A date for a new mommy? 49
Patty and Becky went to lie down for a bit after getting back from their Trolley ride. Bluesage sat up with the baby and talked to him. He saw his son was awake and looking at him. At only three days old, he was not sure how much he saw, but he knew he could hear. ‘My dear sweet son, how I love you, I want to talk to you about love. If you give love away, and you will have even more. Love like nothing else matters, for without love, it doesn't. Nothing is good without love in it David.'
'When you act solely out of self-interest, you end up making yourself that much smaller. When your actions are sincerely guided by love for others, you are lifted up as much as they. You are young but you will understand this too. Love is infectious. When love is attacked, it grows stronger. When love is denied, it becomes even more compelling. Love endures through the most difficult of times and the most hopeless of situations. By yielding, love overcomes, setting up a dynamic that cannot be defeated.'
'You will have love in your heart as long as you choose it. Think of your life as it was before you were here. Yes baby, you were here before. I know this. Now the details in your memory have likely faded, or in your case, forgotten soon. And yet the love you experienced is stronger than ever. I can feel it as you stare at me son. I know you have love already for your family. SimsGod sent you to us that way. Is there any truth that is greater than this? Love is, and will always be.'
He gently kissed him. The love in his heart for this small boy was growing leaps and bounds. His little guy stretched and squirmed in his hands. He was almost an eleven-pound baby so he was quite filled in. Not a slim baby by any means. Patty’s milk was very rich and helped his son grow and become stronger each day. He looked up and noticed the daylight was dimming. He looked at his watch and saw it was almost five thirty. He looked over at the tents and wondered if those girls had a clue of the time? His stomach growled, as a small guy in his arms began to wrinkle up his face and begin to wail. He looked down and had to laugh. Babies are so funny. So calm one second and so upset the next.
He looked over at his tent and saw mama walking out. Her red smock was wrinkled from a deep slumber. Yet she had good ears and knew what that meant. ‘Oh, what a long nap that was,’ Patty spoke as she stretched her back. ‘Hand me the little man and I will see if he is wet.’
‘He’s not darling; I just put a dry diaper on him. I believe he is hungry though, just like me. Want to go out to dinner with me?' He looked at her to see if she heard him.
She took David and sat down to begin to feed him. She cut her eyes over to Blue and then smiled. ‘How can I take this eating factory out in public so soon?’ He took a deep breath. Could he talk her into this? ‘Patty, I think if we give Rebecca responsibility it helps her grow. So I feel if we ask her to watch her brother for two little hours she can grow two whole degrees.’ He winked at her and smiled.
She wrinkled her brow and thought. Then she sighed and laughed. ‘Oh you darling you. Of course I will go on a date with you. Can we go to our favorite restaurant?’ That made him ask her to stand. She put David down on the mat inside the tent.
'You are the most wonderful creature I could have ever devised on my own. I love you Patty.' His feelings were so pure. She hugged him tight. 'Okay I have to look for something to wear, you talk to Becky.' Immediately she began to root through her clothes to find her dress that she wanted to wear.
